Jon Morosi checks in with Ben and Blake from the field in Miami ahead of Japan/Mexico tonight in the Semi-Finals. He discusses the growth of the game – especially – in the US where the WBC has picked up in popularity this year. Later, Trea Turner was already a star ahead of this tournament and yet it feels very much like his “coming out party.” Next, Blake digs into the numbers when it comes to WBC years and how often players miss games and does appearing in the WBC impact their regular season numbers (31:55). Finally, the GM of the Reds is asked about the potential of trading Joey Votto – specifically – sending him home to the Blue Jays.
