The guys are back with plenty to talk about.  Since the last episode, Lu was traded from the Rays to the Royals.  He explains the emotions around the move.  Also, friend of the show Jazz Chisholm became the seventh Bahamian player to reach the Majors.  The guys discuss those stories and more.

Marlins' prospect Jazz Chisholm joins the show!  Lu, Todd and Jazz reminisce about growing up playing ball in the Bahamas including their 12U Babe Ruth World Series Championship in 2010.  With Jazz in the Marlins' 60-man player pool and Lu in the Rays', the race to become the 7th player from the Bahamas to reach the big leagues is on.  The guys discuss what it will mean to get there and how they're handling all of the COVID-19 protocols to stay healthy.

The PVO Pod is taking a break from its usual light hearted tone this week.  Todd, Lu and Tim are joined by Indians prospect and 2016 first-round pick Will Benson.  Will grew up in Atlanta and has known racism his entire life.  Todd and Lu grew up in the Bahamas and didn't experience it until moving to the United States for high school.  They react to the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.  Then the guys go deeper into the systemic racism plaguing the country and what we can all do to start to fix it.

The guys welcome Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton to the show.  He shares the story of his journey from a small town in Texas to the NFL.  He explains why he has big expectations for a loaded Broncos offense in 2020, how NFL players are dealing with the COVID-19 shutdown and his love of baseball.  

Lewis Brinson brings his Don't Blink HR Derby trophy with him to the podcast.  Todd and Lu explain what LB has meant to them as a mentor since their high school days in Florida.  LB then takes the crew through his big league debut, the trade that sent him home and the pressures of living up to expectations.  

The PVO Pod returns after an extended break.  Todd, Lu and Tim share stories of how they're coping with COVID-10 in Miami, The Bahamas and New York City.  Todd and Lu were at Spring Training when the sports world stopped.  They had to make quick decisions with very little information.  Now that they're away from baseball, how are they staying in shape? 

The guys also look back on simpler times, recapping the Don't Blink Home Run Derby that took place this winter in The Bahamas.  Who stepped up, who came up short and who won the team competition?
