Episode 215 -- After Fernando Tatis Jr.'s massive extension was announced, Joel Sherman pointed out that their infield is now being paid close to a billion dollars over the life of their contracts. So Jason takes a look at how they compare to another famously expensive infield, the A's $100,000 infield of the 1910s.
Jason goes position by position comparing each player and giving little historical tidbits and comes up with which infield holds the edge. Our combatants are Manny Machado vs. Home Run Baker, Fernando Tatis Jr. vs. Jack Barry, Eric Hosmer vs. Stuffy McInnis, and Ha-Seong Kim vs. Eddie Collins.
