Ken's Mailbag | Two Joes fired and one Tony on the hot seat

Since we last brought you the mailbag, Joe Girardi and Joe Maddon have both been fired. The Phillies have been on a tear since they made the move, the Angels haven't. Plus Southsiders are chanting to "Fire Tony" during White Sox games. Could La Russa be next? Tim McMaster and Ken Rosenthal discuss that and then open the mailbag... -How much of the decision to let Ohtani pitch and hit come from Maddon? -Could players leave money in contracts for teams to give to other players? -Have the Yankees considered trading Josh Donaldson? -Could MLB put a cap on analytics and player development spending? -Changes to replay -Should teams reconsider calling players up from Double-A? -Could MLB.com post broadcaster scorecards live during games? Those questions and more! To be a part of next week's episode call the voicemail at 646-543-7072 or email tabaseballshow@gmail.com.
