Alex Bregman, The Padres Add Players, And No Extension For Vlad Jr.

Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald to discuss Alex Bregman's short-term deal with the Red Sox, how he fits onto their roster, where it leaves the Tigers after missing out on him, if it means that Nolan Arenado will now stay in St. Louis, and why the Cardinals haven't traded their impending free agents. They also discuss the Padres signing Nick Pivetta and Kyle Hart to put them over the luxury tax threshold, Vlad Guerrero Jr.'s comments that he will hit the free agent market next offseason after not reaching an agreement with the Blue Jays, and the Diamondbacks signing Geraldo Perdomo to an extension and their surprisingly high payroll level. 

Listener question topics include why projections systems like the Twins despite their quiet offseason, the glut of good teams in the AL, and why Buster Posey and the Giants were not more aggressive.
