Bobby and Alex do a (slightly belated) dramatic reading of the history of Mike Piazza’s quest to bankrupt an Italian soccer team, then take stock of the myriad “mega-deals” over the last couple weeks and how they reflect the health of baseball’s economic landscape, and try to figure out whether Chaim Bloom has any clue what he’s doing, before answering listener questions about conspiracy theories, Jesus Christ player comps, and “The Last Out.”
