On the MLB podcast with Larry:

#1 Larry somebody on the Chicago White Sox hates the bat flip namely pitcher Jimmy Cordero who beaned Chicago Cub hitter Wilson Contreas for holding the bat above his head and flipping it in the third inning of Saturday’s game. Cordero has been suspended three days for the beaning.

#2 Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo wouldn’t say how long manager Dave Martinez was signed for but he said it was for a “multi year deal.” Rizzo added that Martinez’s contract was private information and that Martinez’s 2021 option hasn’t been picked up yet.

#3 The Kansas City Royals Alex Gordon whose been with the Royals since 2005 has decided to retire. Gordon 37, said he misses his kids more than he’ll miss the game and at 37 Gordon feels this is the right to time to hang em up.

#4 For the second time in a week the Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore was hit by a pitch in the head and received a concussion. The pitch was thrown by Houston Astro Brandon Bielak. Moore will be out for the rest of the season and placed on the seven day concussion list.
