March Extensions & Job Battle Winners

Plus, they catch up on other late spring news including a scare for Shane McClanahan, a trade that sent Nolan Jones back to Cleveland, a closer role up for grabs in Cincinnati, and a few takeaways from the first run of weekly pickups in 'Where the Money Went' as Opening Day approaches.
