HomeBiz of Baseball Interviews Bizball Radio with Seth Everett and Maury Brown - MLB #4 (Astros and Realignment, MLB Labor Deal, Expansion or Contraction
A new labor agreement will be announced before Thanksgiving – likely on Tuesday – and with it, the league will see significant changes. Seth and Maury talk about how the sale of the Astros to Jim Cane that triggers the balancing out of the leagues and interleague everyday isn’t exactly the best for competitive balance and fan interest in interleague. As part of the discussion, both Seth and Maury agree that this new model of 15 teams each with daily interleague isn’t the best model. Maury wonders is MLB will consider ways to even out the leagues at even numbers and looks at the options of expansion and contraction, especially in light of possible movement on the issue of the Oakland A’s. There’s also the topic of a Luxury Tax and compensation as part of the new amateur draft process, blood-testing for hGH, revenue-sharing, and more.

I listen to podcasts on my way to work everyday, and I used to listen to bizball radio. Somehow, the bizball podcasts aren't updated on RSS feeds anymore. Since I don't have an iphone/pad/pod/tunes I cannot listen to your awesome podcast. It would be awesome if you could somehow get this going again. Thanks in advance!

We're working on this technical issue, but each podcast post has a "download" link that allows you to access directly via MP3, same as off the RSS feed
