FT Live - Ken Rosenthal on NL Cy, Olson mashing, Rizzo extension, O's plan w/o Bautista, burying the Padres & are Rangers fans OK?

The Athletic's Britt Ghiroli guest hosts and dishes on the extension for Mike Rizzo with the Nationals + the latest starting contest with the Orioles over MASN money. Senior Insider Ken Rosenthal chimes in on his Dork of the Week in the nation's capital. He really can't tell us which postseason award he's voting in (wink wink) but shares why pitchers eating innings is important. Plus, whether or not the AL East is weaker than everyone thought it was going to be. AJ, Kratz & Britt do a deep dive into the AL West...Ranger fans, you OK? They're winning again but Max news sucks. Speaking of cooked, Britt, A.J. & Erik eulogize the Padres. Should A.J. Preller get another year to fix this mess? How did it all go haywire? Matt Olson keeps mashing for Atlanta! Félix Bautista is going to pitch through a UCL injury. Britt, A.J. & Kratz debate how effective he can be and how the Orioles are rolling the dice with their stud reliever.
