Daily Puck Drop, Tue., July 29 - The Ben Williamson Game

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Jim Duquette of MLB Network Radio,  John Canzano from JohnCanzao.com  and Bill Krueger, host of the “Old School Baseball” podcast. 

Puck opens the show not understanding why Ben Williamson has drone the ire of so many Mariners fans.  Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio drops by to discuss his recent interview with Jerry Dipoto, plus the growing asking price for Geno Suarez, the Emmanuel Clase betting scandal, Bryce Harper going after MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and finally, remembering Ryne Sandberg. 

John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com, pays his weekly visit and recaps his trip to Las Vegas for the Big 10 media days. Also, Pat Chun’s perspective on the new landscape of college athletics, Pac-12 exploring future expansion, additional sports coming to the Pac-12 and Dan Lanning and other coaches being burnt out in today’s sport.  

Puck missed Bill Krueger on Monday, but he’s here on a Tuesday and the host of the “Old School Baseball” podcast discusses why the Suarez trade is a no-brainer, what that deal means for Ben Williamson. Could Williamson be a utility player?  What has happened to Dylan Moore? And, Ryne Sandberg was all things Chicago Cubs baseball. 

Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”    Ryne Sandberg epitomized everyone that is great about baseball
