WBC Reporter and Content Creator Shawn Spradling joins FT to break down the growing insurance issues surrounding the World Baseball Classic and why Puerto Rico has been severely impacted. He explains how insurance decisions are made, who carries the risk if a player gets hurt, and what it could mean for the tournament if teams are unable to secure coverage for their stars.

(15:36) Former Rays first-round pick Richie Shaffer joins FT to discuss how players prepare for camp at different stages of their careers and why mental skills are often overlooked in player development. Shaffer also reflects on his experience in Tampa Bay’s development system, why teams still underinvest in preparing players mentally, the risks of overhyping prospects, and why he remains cautiously optimistic the Rays ultimately stay in Tampa.

Hosts: AJ Pierzynski, Erik Kratz, Alanna Rizzo

FT is Live Monday-Friday from 1-3pm ET on YouTube. Be there :)
