Rundown:
- It’s Josh’s birthday, and he’s grateful Justin Verlander is still pitching to keep him feeling youngish.
- Josh shares his distaste of the Rule 5 MLB Draft and how the fear of losing players forces teams to make hasty additions to the 40-man roster. Jim counters by looking at the situation from a player's perspective.
- The Sean Murphy trade rumor
- Good friends Chorizy and Beefloaf of Fromthe108 join to discuss the #108Day Live event in January.
- After finishing second overall in the MLB Trade Rumors Free Agent Pick’em contest, Josh works with the crew guessing where the top free agents will sign and who the White Sox's biggest addition will be.
