towns would not have the same facilities
00:13:38
2017 instruments from the World Bank found
that in sub-Saharan Africa only about 25
00:13:44

the awful happened but he says there's
00:26:40
a serious side to the jokes quite often
that have pangs of guilt at the triviality
00:26:45
of what I do but I suppose the role is to
is to keep people expressing themselves
00:26:52
and keep people thinking in. Fresh
ways about the issues of the day

the biz boom commission and loans than
00:47:05
this soon is true you'd see professional
business will again do you think oh no
00:47:09
Vegas break would be May 15th for most major
league player and the elusive Ginsu of
00:47:16
a modest effect but wouldn't believe the
minor league players Blears who are still
00:47:21
trying to prove them soon and
looking to have this season in
00:47:25
a city lake and to no pin Sylvania Oklahoma
City Oklahoma doesn't fit in contempt
00:47:32
with Jeff lends the senior
communications they went to from
00:47:35
a non-league bears boon to discuss what
they want stupid you'll be late for them
00:47:40
we're joined now on the funny starter
or I just ran the senior director of
00:47:46
communications for Margaret baseball basin
for us state of Florida where we're
00:47:52
talking on. March 21st the Major League
Baseball season was scheduled to
00:47:59
start in
00:48:00
a few days and I really think. Well and
to give our listeners little bit of
00:48:06
a sense of where things stand her this
far Chris point of the year after the
00:48:12
coronavirus outbreak Yeah definitely
00:48:16
a different scenario for everybody you
know all the players are just arrived at
00:48:20
spring training and then they turn around
and get sent home. With really no idea
00:48:25
when they'll be back to start training
for the 2020 season. Certainly nothing
00:48:31
anybody's ever gone through before and it's
it's our to understand I guess because
00:48:38
you know baseball players by nature very
routine oriented and you know you plan on
00:48:43
getting spring training on this day and
you start games on this day and then the
00:48:47
regular season starts and you travel the
city on this day and travel back home on
00:48:51
this day and right now there's none of that
and nobody knows when it might start so
00:48:56
it's really. A unique situation
everybody's kind of at
00:49:00
a loss right now so just for the benefit
of our sunny side of sports listeners I
00:49:07
can be helpful if you explain
a little bit about where
00:49:10
a virally baseball fits into the sports
atmosphere here in the United States we
00:49:16
talk on our show about teams like the New
York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers
00:49:21
but just for the sake of our listeners to
better understand the system where does
00:49:27
minor league baseball fit compared to
00:49:29
a team like the Yankees Yes So there's
30 major league teams to let the Yankees
00:49:35
cetera and then they have
00:49:37
a feeder system that's called Minor League
Baseball where each of those teams has
00:49:42
usually
00:49:43
a minimum of 6 my only teams and as many
as 8 or 9 if they want to. And they're
00:49:48
consistent players that are under contract
with that organization and basically
00:49:53
there they start as either just out of high
school or just out of college and they
00:49:58
work their way up and as a improve
their baseball skills they advance up
00:50:02
a level and eventually make it to the big
leagues for good enough and and become
00:50:08
Yankees Cubs a 1000 years. So just
for our listeners Jeff and I met
00:50:15
a number of years ago when he was working
in media relations for the Baltimore
00:50:19
Orioles just. About 40 miles away from the
Voice of America studios in Washington
00:50:26
d.c.
00:50:26
Jeff has transitioned to working for minor
league baseball. I thought maybe you could
00:50:31
give our listeners
00:50:33
a sense of how many players are at
spring training camps you know in
00:50:39
a city like Clearwater Florida where I
think the Philadelphia Phillies train or
00:50:46
some of the Phoenix Arizona area suburbs
where new models that have their spring
00:50:51
training how many players are in
00:50:55
a facility between all the different
levels of. Potential candidates.
00:51:02
Most major league teams will have somewhere
between. $50.00 to $65.00 players in
00:51:08
a major league camp in obviously want to
make their final Russia cuts to get down
00:51:13
to $25.00 so those other $25.00 or $35.00
players will end up in the minor leagues
00:51:19
and in addition to those guys there's
also about 150 to 170 players around my
00:51:26
only contracts that are working out of
spring training hoping to be assigned to one
00:51:30
of the minor league teams the 2020 season.
There usually be anywhere from $20.00 to
00:51:37
$30.00 guys kind of spring training as my
only players face go on to find regular
00:51:43
jobs like the rest of us but you know the
wrestling be split up amongst all the
00:51:47
minor league teams across United States
and then to Canada. You know there's well
00:51:53
enough with about. 6000
players give or take
00:51:57
a few. Over the on opening day
across minor leagues for quite
00:52:03
a few guys when you put them all together
what what is minor league baseball doing
00:52:08
for these players you know we're
expecting to start getting paid
00:52:12
a century per person now that
there's no games where we cast
00:52:17
a salary of helping the season starts
again what's the situation for guys like
00:52:21
bathroom are 2324 years old
that might have been playing at
00:52:26
a city like Trenton New Jersey this
year yeah yeah that they're in
00:52:30
a tough spot all the major league teams
so all these players are assigned
00:52:35
a minor league cities for the summer are
employees of the major league team and
00:52:40
they get paid by the major league teams
so. The monthly teams don't pay the
00:52:45
salaries of the players the major league
clubs do so they're kind of at the mercy.
00:52:50
Of those major league teams now some of
those teams I think of come out already and
00:52:54
said the yeah we're going to pay our guys
you know effective opening day no nobody
00:52:58
gets paid during spring training but when
the regular season starts is when the
00:53:02
paychecks to come in and so. A couple of
teams already come out saying we're going
00:53:07
to pay our players. It's
00:53:09
a tough start you know everybody across
the cross the globe really is you know
00:53:14
cutting payroll and and cutting hours
cutting staff all that and you know. It's.
00:53:22
Major League Baseball has quite a bit of
money built up the other $10000000000.00
00:53:27
a year industry so hopefully the bill to
take care of everybody you know and get
00:53:31
them through this coronavirus of breaking
and and hopefully you know get everybody
00:53:36
back together get spring training going
to some point later this summer and. Have
00:53:41

00:25:25
nearly deserted this week but for insight
into why South African seem to find the

direst of situations so funny I turned to

a social media expert 20 year old Cincy
since he sometimes works with Theo a as
00:25:38
a production assistant towards
00:25:40
a hemisphere cameraman but its main passion
lies in comedy performing magic under

he's been amused by the flood of memes
00:25:49
that juxtapose up very serious president
Cyril Ramaphosa warning the nation about
00:25:53

been really mixing it up with sounds like

someone forgot his music and it's been
really fun you have been mocking me every

history of this country is one long
00:26:26
terrible situation. With occasional
moments of uplifting aucht So it's just
00:26:33
something that South Africans do assume
there's something ridiculous or ridiculous
00:26:37
the awful happened but he says there's
00:26:40
a serious side to the jokes quite often
that have pangs of guilt at the triviality
00:26:45
of what I do but I suppose the role is to
is to keep people expressing themselves
00:26:52
and keep people thinking in. Fresh
ways about the issues of the day
00:26:59
and the coronavirus crisis it's about making
people. Feel like things are going to

be Ok because it's too in the position
to us at this stage in the spread of the

really was 2 weeks ago the nation's battle
00:27:16
to stave off infection is likely to be

primarily organized for local
football as on the continent
00:41:48
a chance for many who bought for this
championship might never get an opportunity

concerns about the tournament going on I
missed this current virus pandemic the

on the printing of my 2 year old printing
of gadgets for the tournaments that's

00:43:17
a lot of investment that's been done the

Vegas break would be May 15th for most major
league player and the elusive Ginsu of
00:47:16
a modest effect but wouldn't believe the
minor league players Blears who are still
00:47:21
trying to prove them soon and
looking to have this season in
00:47:25
a city lake and to no pin Sylvania Oklahoma
City Oklahoma doesn't fit in contempt
00:47:32
with Jeff lends the senior
communications they went to from
00:47:35
a non-league bears boon to discuss what
they want stupid you'll be late for them
00:47:40
we're joined now on the funny starter
or I just ran the senior director of
00:47:46
communications for Margaret baseball basin
for us state of Florida where we're
00:47:52
talking on. March 21st the Major League
Baseball season was scheduled to
00:47:59
start in
00:48:00
a few days and I really think. Well and
to give our listeners little bit of
00:48:06
a sense of where things stand her this
far Chris point of the year after the
00:48:12
coronavirus outbreak Yeah definitely
00:48:16
a different scenario for everybody you
know all the players are just arrived at
00:48:20
spring training and then they turn around
and get sent home. With really no idea
00:48:25
when they'll be back to start training
for the 2020 season. Certainly nothing
00:48:31
anybody's ever gone through before and it's
it's our to understand I guess because
00:48:38
you know baseball players by nature very
routine oriented and you know you plan on
00:48:43
getting spring training on this day and
you start games on this day and then the
00:48:47
regular season starts and you travel the
city on this day and travel back home on
00:48:51
this day and right now there's none of that
and nobody knows when it might start so
00:48:56
it's really. A unique situation
everybody's kind of at
00:49:00
a loss right now so just for the benefit
of our sunny side of sports listeners I
00:49:07
can be helpful if you explain
a little bit about where
00:49:10
a virally baseball fits into the sports
atmosphere here in the United States we
00:49:16
talk on our show about teams like the New
York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers
00:49:21
but just for the sake of our listeners to
better understand the system where does
00:49:27
minor league baseball fit compared to
00:49:29
a team like the Yankees Yes So there's
30 major league teams to let the Yankees
00:49:35
cetera and then they have
00:49:37
a feeder system that's called Minor League
Baseball where each of those teams has
00:49:42
usually
00:49:43
a minimum of 6 my only teams and as many
as 8 or 9 if they want to. And they're
00:49:48
consistent players that are under contract
with that organization and basically
00:49:53
there they start as either just out of high
school or just out of college and they
00:49:58
work their way up and as a improve
their baseball skills they advance up
00:50:02
a level and eventually make it to the big
leagues for good enough and and become
00:50:08
Yankees Cubs a 1000 years. So just
for our listeners Jeff and I met
00:50:15
a number of years ago when he was working
in media relations for the Baltimore
00:50:19
Orioles just. About 40 miles away from the
Voice of America studios in Washington
00:50:26
d.c.
00:50:26
Jeff has transitioned to working for minor
league baseball. I thought maybe you could
00:50:31
give our listeners
00:50:33
a sense of how many players are at
spring training camps you know in
00:50:39
a city like Clearwater Florida where I
think the Philadelphia Phillies train or
00:50:46
some of the Phoenix Arizona area suburbs
where new models that have their spring
00:50:51
training how many players are in
00:50:55
a facility between all the different
levels of. Potential candidates.
00:51:02
Most major league teams will have somewhere
between. $50.00 to $65.00 players in
00:51:08
a major league camp in obviously want to
make their final Russia cuts to get down
00:51:13
to $25.00 so those other $25.00 or $35.00
players will end up in the minor leagues
00:51:19
and in addition to those guys there's
also about 150 to 170 players around my
00:51:26
only contracts that are working out of
spring training hoping to be assigned to one
00:51:30
of the minor league teams the 2020 season.
There usually be anywhere from $20.00 to
00:51:37
$30.00 guys kind of spring training as my
only players face go on to find regular
00:51:43
jobs like the rest of us but you know the
wrestling be split up amongst all the
00:51:47
minor league teams across United States
and then to Canada. You know there's well
00:51:53
enough with about. 6000
players give or take
00:51:57
a few. Over the on opening day
across minor leagues for quite
00:52:03
a few guys when you put them all together
what what is minor league baseball doing
00:52:08
for these players you know we're
expecting to start getting paid
00:52:12
a century per person now that
there's no games where we cast
00:52:17
a salary of helping the season starts
again what's the situation for guys like
00:52:21
bathroom are 2324 years old
that might have been playing at
00:52:26
a city like Trenton New Jersey this
year yeah yeah that they're in
00:52:30
a tough spot all the major league teams
so all these players are assigned
00:52:35
a minor league cities for the summer are
employees of the major league team and
00:52:40
they get paid by the major league teams
so. The monthly teams don't pay the
00:52:45
salaries of the players the major league
clubs do so they're kind of at the mercy.
00:52:50
Of those major league teams now some of
those teams I think of come out already and
00:52:54
said the yeah we're going to pay our guys
you know effective opening day no nobody
00:52:58
gets paid during spring training but when
the regular season starts is when the
00:53:02
paychecks to come in and so. A couple of
teams already come out saying we're going
00:53:07
to pay our players. It's
00:53:09
a tough start you know everybody across
the cross the globe really is you know
00:53:14
cutting payroll and and cutting hours
cutting staff all that and you know. It's.
00:53:22
Major League Baseball has quite a bit of
money built up the other $10000000000.00
00:53:27
a year industry so hopefully the bill to
take care of everybody you know and get
00:53:31
them through this coronavirus of breaking
and and hopefully you know get everybody
00:53:36
back together get spring training going
to some point later this summer and. Have
00:53:41
a good 20 twentieth's thanks to Dan Frieden
for that very insightful interview to
00:53:46
