Breaking Out with Edouard Julien + Deferred Money with David Samson
About this episode
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker discuss what it really means to 'defer money' when it comes to major free agent paydays, and bring on David Samson (3:30) to help them break it down. What do teams have to show financially to complete contracts with massive deferrals? Plus, they get into what could potentially still lie ahead for the Blue Jays' offseason. Afterwards, ahead of Baseball Canada's awards banquet, Twins second baseman Edouard Julien (26:36) stops by to discuss his breakout season with Minnesota, his thoughts on José Berríos getting pulled in the playoffs, the toughest pitcher he's faced so far, and what it means to play for Canada on the international level.
