In this episode of Locked Up Sports: New York Sports Talk, we dive deep into the business side of baseball with special guest Marc Saracino, corporate and business attorney, sports business blogger, and creator of The Saracino Source.
Marc, a lifelong Mets fan, recently broke down the historic Juan Soto $765 million contract in detail. We unpack his insights on how mega-deals like Soto's are structured, the role of insurance in protecting teams from massive financial risks, and the balance of power wielded by the MLB Players Association in shaping contracts and benefits.
We also tackle the recent controversy surrounding Gary Cohen's on-air comments about Cubs rookie Matt Shaw taking time off to attend Charlie Kirk's funeral — and whether that type of leave falls under the protections of the CBA.
Of course, we'll also talk Mets — can they hold on and punch their ticket to the postseason for a second straight year?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
