    EP 167 - Justin Verlander to Giants, Hye-Seong Kim to Dodgers, Where Roki Sasaki Going? And One Last Free Agency Wish!

    Called out sick last week, and both teams made some solid moves. Dodgers sign infield utility Hye-Seong Kim and trade Gavin Lux for some prospects. Does this mean the Dodgers are done or do they make a move for a reliever or another outfielder? Giants sign future hall of famer and certified AARP member Justin Verlander to a one year 15 million dollar deal. What can you expect out of him at age 42? Is the unicorn able to fight off Father Time another year? And it is reported the Giants want to add another bat before the season. Are they going to make a big splash in free agency or trade? Or will a mild upgrade do to compete for a playoff spot? Does the Padres family drama take them out of Roki Sasaki running? Who will win the sweepstakes? Or was it the Dodgers all along? This and so much more on this weeks episode!  For all socials and podcast platforms: https://linktr.ee/BenchesCleared?utm_source=linktree_profile_sharesid=e71e7652-6099-4a13-91f2-741562e99266
