Hosts Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci update their weekend of College Football describing their gameday experiences as Joe attended the Lehigh/Lafayette game and Tom saw Nebraska/Penn State.  Back to baseball, Tom notes the moves by the Rockies by retaining Warren Schaeffer while hiring Paul DePodesta as the new President of Baseball Ops.  We focus on the Mets trading Brandon Nimmo and Hal Steinbrenner saying it would be 'ideal' for the Yankees to lower their payroll.  Baseball is about a year away from negotiating a new CBA, how will it affect the game?
