The Brewers are in spring training, but a much bigger question is looming over Major League Baseball: is a work stoppage coming this December? In Hour 2, Jen, Gabe, and Chewy pivot from Packers talk to unpack a fascinating column from Dom Cotronio about how a potential salary cap battle could uniquely impact the Milwaukee Brewers.

With owners reportedly preparing for a long fight and talk of standardizing minor league technology across all organizations, the crew debates what “leveling the playing field” would actually mean. The Brewers have invested heavily in minor league tracking systems and player development infrastructure. If MLB mandates standardized tech, does that erase one of Milwaukee’s competitive advantages? And would that make the Brewers more likely to support a salary cap — even if they can’t compete with the Dodgers’ $300 million payroll regardless?

The conversation then shifts to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s latest comments in a Greek media interview, where he references free agency for the first time and acknowledges that “maybe” he would’ve left already if it were solely up to him. Does that subtle shift in language change anything? Is it semantics, leverage, or a sign of something bigger?

Plus, Top 8 at 8 returns with a deep dive into the last Packers to return a punt for a touchdown — and yes, it gets surprisingly nostalgic.
