Wild Card Underway, Advantage Red Sox & Kaprizov Gets Paid

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off Wednesday morning recapping the Red Sox' victory over the New York Yankees last night. They chat about Garrett Crochet's impressive performance, the advantage of having top-end rotation talent, and who they would rather see face the Blue Jays in the ALDS. The guys also look at the other three series that got underway yesterday including the "small ball" Tigers, the comeback Cubs, and the Dodgers' cruise in Game 1. Later, Ben and Brent turn their attention to Kirill Kaprizov and his eight-year, $136 million extension signed with Wild yesterday. They debate how the deal will change how we view superstar contracts going forward, if $17 million per year is going to be the new benchmark, and what this means for the Maple Leafs.
