The Book of Joe Podcast begins with how managers handle the dog days of summer. Hosts Tom Verducci and Joe Maddon address the Rays benching Wander Franco and the recent struggles of the Yankees.  We explore Joe's insight into having team meetings and when is the right time to truly benefit the players.  Tom is puzzled by the struggles of the Mets and what can be changed to turn things around.  Plus, it's 4th of July Weekend and Joe gives his West Coast to East Coast music recommendations for the BBQ! If you're in the Hazleton, PA and want a taste of what Joe's serving, find the Madden sauces in some local retailers!

The Book of Joe Podcast is a production of iHeart Radio.
