Josh Donaldson never seems to stay out of the headlines for something controversial.
This time it is in reaction to calling Tim Anderson “Jackie” over the weekend. He received a one-game suspension and decided to appeal. Was the suspension just? Should he have got more games? Should have he appealed?
Also, we are a quarter of the way through the MLB season… who are the award winners at this moment?
All that and lots more are discussed on Episode 2 of “The Show” with The Post’s own baseball columnists Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman.
The Show with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman
- JOSH DONALDSON: Should not be saying what he said, but Jon does not see it being justified as racist. Should he have been suspended more games? He probably should not have appealed.
- ADLEY RUTSCHMAN: He gets called up by the Orioles. Is he the real deal? Did the Orioles time his call-up poorly without giving much notice?
- QUARTER SEASON AWARDS: Who are the AL and NL MVPs? Who are the AL and NL Cy Young Award winners?
- CRISIS OR CALM DOWN:
Kris Bryant
Mariners
Marcus Semien
Phillies
Joey Gallo - WHAT’S IN YOUR NOTEBOOK
Juan Soto: Nationals are not going to trade him this season.
Brandon Nimmo: What teams are interested in Nimmo after this season?
Jacob deGrom: Should the Mets ace be opting in for next season after injury concerns? When will he be back this year?
