In this episode, I'm joined by Rangers beat writer, Levi Weaver of the Athletic. Levi and I of course discuss the MLB Lockout and all of the branches that stem from it (with some polite venting included). I also ask Levi the most surprising thing he's seen at Minor League camp, what the Rangers may do post lockout, and who could be on the trade block in the future. Also the word sad kept coming up.
