About this episode
New Cubs infielder Jon Berti tells FT about his free agency journey that led him to Chicago. As a Yankee last year, what was going through his mind in that infamous fifth inning in Game 5? What does he think about many Dodgers taking shots at the Yankees post-World Series? Berti was part of the 2023 Marlins playoff run—how does he feel about the team tearing it down to start all over again? We dive into the facial hair policy still strictly enforced by the Yankees and then get to Berti's unlikely journey from an 18th-round pick with no prospect pedigree to a key MLB contributor.
