Joey Ricotta joins me again as we talk about Barry Bonds joining his Godfather Willie Mays for third on the all-time home run list. Lou Gehrig becomes Captain, Candlestick Park opens up, and much more.
To look back on this day in baseball history, I brought on Joey Ricotta this time to talk about a few debuts including Carl Yastrzemski’s Major League debut and the debut of shin guards being used by a catcher.
The Philadelphia Eagles focused on improving their defense, especially their secondary, in free agency. The Eagles did just that and had one of the most productive free agency periods in the league. They brought in defensive backs Nickell Robey-Coleman ($1.35 million) and Will Parks ($1.5 million) on one-year deals and traded for Darius Slay with third and fifth-round picks. With just one year left on Slay’s contract, they gave him a three-year extension worth $50 million. They also brought back Rodney McLeod on a two-year deal and Jalen Mills for one more year. With the Eagles letting starting safety Malcolm Jenkins walk, the re-signing of McLeod and Mills was very important. They have eight picks which they will use to fill various needs they still have on both sides of the ball.
