In this episode of 'The Book of Joe Podcast', Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci address the scandal surrounding Shohei Ohtani.  Joe believes what Ohtani is saying, but thinks there are still questions to be asked.  Where does MLB go from here with the situation?  How does baseball keep distance between gambling and the game?  Onto the season being underway, Tom looks at how the new managers are doing out of the gate.  Is it too early for teams to already be considering lineup changes?

Borrowing the podcast title from their forthcoming book, three-time Manager of the Year Joe Maddon and three-time Sportswriter of the Year Tom Verducci provide exclusive insight, commentary and discussion on the MLB postseason, from the stars to the strategy.

As manager of the 2016 Cubs team that broke a 108-year championship drought, Maddon knows what it takes to navigate October pressure. Part Phil Jackson, part Yogi Berra, Maddon brings unique and entertaining takes on not just on dugout strategy but also life lessons and leadership - not to mention classic cars and rock and roll.

A five-time Emmy winner with Fox and MLB Network, Verducci has behind-the-scenes access to the players and managers throughout the postseason.

“The Book of Joe” is your home to learn - and laugh - about the real stories behind how postseason games are won and lost.
