Brewers Podcast: Does a quiet offseason lessen the chance of a Josh Hader trade?

Dec 29, 2020, 11:00 AM

Brewers beat reporter Tom Haudricourt and host JR Radcliffe discuss a quiet offseason. Is a Josh Hader trade still likely based on how little action we've seen across MLB? Is there any idea when we might know things like DH rules for the national league, or even a season start date? Lorenzo Cain is coming back, but who's going to play at the corner infield spots? Could Keston Hiura be moved to first? We expect this team to hit better in 2021, but should we?

Then, JR chats with John Thorn (34:00), a Beloit College graduate and official MLB historian, about his role in getting the Negro Leagues re-categorized as "major league," and getting the stats from those leagues integrated with those of the American and National Leagues. How does that determination get made and implemented?
