The start of Spring Training is about a week away but the owners and players remain far apart in their negotiations. Royals' All-Star Whit Merrifield visits Starkville with the players perspective on what has gone wrong and what needs to be figured out. He also tells the story of his journey to the Major Leagues, what makes him a great base stealer and much more.
Jayson and Doug also discuss Groundhog Day, fix the tanking problem and discuss what baseball needs to do to match the NFL's playoff drama. All that plus trivia with Padres' broadcaster Jesse Agler!
