72 | David Cone reacts to Yankees' Frankie Montas injury; Max Fried’s status in Atlanta

Toeing The Slab with David Cone

David, Justin and James discuss the concern over the news that Yankees pitcher Frankie Montas will miss time with shoulder inflammation and how nothing has gone right for Montas since he perhaps returned from the IL prematurely in July of last year. The hosts dive into some of the recent comments made by the ownerships families from the Reds and Orioles, and how the three model franchises (Dodgers, Astros and Braves) have largely been idle when it comes to big free agent spending. The hosts discuss Max Fried’s contract situation with Atlanta, and what pitching coaches around MLB should be preaching during spring training with new rules being introduced. With the news that Aaron Judge is receiving a key to New York City, David reveals what he did with his key to NYC after his perfect game.
