Podcast: Ryno's legacy and the risks of trade deadline showcases
And, Jed's got a new deal. Big whup.
With the trade deadline mere tens of hours away (is that a thing?) David Brown and Andy discuss the risks of showcasing players you are trying to trade in the final games before the deadline, the costs of trading for rental players, trying to win and sell at the same time, and the varied personalities of GMs and how that affects trades. They also discuss Jed Hoyer's new contract, the chicken and egg of sports betting scandals and the passing of Cubs icon Ryne Sandberg.

Why doesn't Marquee do more stuff like this? This video of Elise talking to Ryne about his glove and bat was great.
The Cubs video team does great work.
Shawon extending the interview to make sure he could talk about Ryne's final conversations was great, and him saying "Go Cubs" through tears at the end will break your heart.
