MLB marijuanaFirst and foremost, what do you think about the MLB marijuana testing amendment?

Episode 115 of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast — the “Superbad” edition — kicks off with a Creed reference to the MLB marijuana decision with Jon asking Can You Take Me Higher?

While Jed is more concerned about Jon referencing Creed, it’s clear that baseball is entering a new era. How will it impact 4/20 games next season? Time will tell. For this week’s Headlines, Jed and Jon discuss:

  • Gerrit Cole signing with the New York Yankees
  • Stephen Strasburg staying with the Nationals
  • Anthony Rendon heading to the Angels
  • Rick Porcello signing with the Mets
  • Madison Bumgarner heading south to the Diamondbacks
  • Corey Kluber being traded to Rangers
  • Didi Gregorius signing with the Phillies
  • A fire breaking out at the new Texas Rangers stadium
  • Josh Donaldson buying his mom a Maserati after she quite smoking
  • Yoenis Cespedes getting a huge pay cut
  • MLB admitting to lowered seams on balls last year
  • MLB threatening to walk away from Minor League Baseball
  • Babe Ruth’s 500th home run bat selling for more than $1M

This week’s Starting Nine honors this week’s release of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” with nine players with Star Wars movies names, while Around the Horn looks at what Jed believes should be the offseason plans for each team.

The show wraps with Extra Innings and a look at what’s going on outside the world of baseball. In a story near and dear to Jon, his high school alma mater, Newtown High School wins state championship on the seventh anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, and Jason Derulo sharing that his huge penis had to be edited out of the upcoming film “Cats.”
