Darren Smith and John Gennaro kick off the show by talking about Dennis Lin and Ken Rosenthal's article in The Athletic, which lays out a changing dynamic in the front office of the San Diego Padres, and wonder what will happen with A.J. Preller's contract situation this offseason.

The guys then welcome Adam Susman, who covers the Portland Timbers, onto the show to talk about the season the Timbers have had and what they'll be looking to accomplish at home against San Diego FC on MLS Decision Day.

Finally, the guys talk about Apple TV buying the broadcast rights to Formula 1 racist and compare it to the deal MLS has with Apple before ending with a mental health-focused version of Try This!
