As our poster SF70 noted on the Minor League Forum -

"Hearing him say Joey Wiemer sent Connor Dawson tape of changes he’s made in the box this winter and people will be surprised to see them at ST has me stoked.

Also saying Sal Frelick was never fully recovered from his thumb injury last year with MKE and next year he will be fully healthy was nice to hear as well."

So much more within - enjoy!

I took in the full conversation, it was fun to hear that Dunn had just begun his honeymoon when the Brewers acquired him, his AFL reflections, comments on his defensive capabilities and more.

But podcasters, for single-subject interviews, regardless of value, shoot for that 30-45 minute sweet spot.

Eighty minutes is really pushing it.
