Ep. 243: Jeff Pearlman Interview | Behind the Stories

This week on Long Gone:

On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys break down a seismic shift in the MLB landscape as the Orioles score a massive win by signing Pete Alonso, while the Mets suffer a crushing loss, parting ways with their longtime clubhouse glue guy. We also examine the Braves adding even more firepower to an already impressive bullpen with the signing of Robert Suárez, while still questioning whether their rotation is built to survive October. Plus, we zero in on a potential do-or-die turning point for Tigers GM Scott Harris, as what he ultimately decides to do with Tarik Skubal could define not only the franchise’s direction, but Harris’ legacy as a general manager.

Then, we’re joined by first-time guest Jeff Pearlman, New York Times bestselling author and one of the premier storytellers in sports. Jeff stops by to talk baseball, writing, and the stories behind the stories, drawing from his acclaimed books including The Bad Guys Won, Three-Ring Circus, Showtime, and The Last Folk Hero.

Afterwards, the boys round out the show with Collection Corner.
