Artificial Turf Wars Ep. 36: Putting the Agent in Free Agent

MLBPA Certified Player Agent, Joshua Kusnick stops by to discuss the agent role in CBA talks, the planning stages for arbitration hearings, the relationship between player and agent, and how an agent must distance themself from their fandom. He also shares a fun story about how he signed one of his current clients in an unexpected place. Greg, Josh, and Nick then tee up the offseason with a look at Blue Jays qualifying offers, the markets for Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Bautista, and potential free agent fits for the club. They also answer listener questions, discuss Kevin Pillar’s Gold Glove loss, and decided to have some fun with a new game.

Note: There will be no pod next week unless something extremely noteworthy happens, such as a big signing or a trade. We will return in two weeks with episode 37!
