The World Series is over and now free agency speculation begins in MLB. This week on the Prospects Baseball Show Jordan Blundell and Dean Millard debated who the biggest name is behind the biggest fish in the pond, Gerrit Cole. The WCBL will welcome in Sylvan Lake for the 2021 season as an expansion team and the GM and President of Baseball Operations Aqil Samuel joined the show to discuss the work that needs to be done for the team to take their soon to be built field in the west end of Sylvan Lake. It’s said to be ‘state of the art’ and Aqil gave a sneak peak at what that means.

Hear from Aqil Samuel, GM and President of Baseball Operations for the new WCBL team in Sylvan Lake.

Jordan and Dean also unveiled their Top 5 favourite MLB expansion teams dating back to 1960 and debated whether or not the Jays should chase the next power hitting lefty from Japan. Plus is Shohei Ohtani better off being strictly a hitter instead of trying to pull off the Babe Ruth?

Dean Millard

After 22 years in the media world of television and radio, from Brandon, Manitoba to Red Deer, Alberta over to Regina, Saskatchewan and settling in Edmonton, Alberta, I found myself on the side of the desk with a pink slip in my hand, unexpectedly. Over the next few weeks and with my mind racing to a million thoughts, I decided to embark on the journey of podcasting. My broadcasting background has mainly been in sports, and it will still be a big part of my podcasting, but I will be focusing on other subjects as well, from sports to cannabis education and more.

Dean Millard

This week was the perfect time to bring Rod Pedersen into the Sports And More Podcast. Not only was he the voice of the Saskatchewan Roughriders for 20 years, he’s really plugged in when it comes to the CFL. Rod compared this year’s Riders club to some of the past teams after clinching first in the west for just the 4th time since 1970.

Listen to Rod Pedersen preview the CFL playoffs and discuss his journey to sobriety.

We also discussed the changing landscape in the media world, as both Rod and myself would not be considered ‘main stream media’ with his new show, which includes video and me podcasting and doing online radio, it’s opening up some new avenues, if you can put in the work.

Rod has a tie in with the Dallas Stars and was in Texas when we chatted so I asked him why he thinks the Stars are struggling and he pulled no punches when it comes to a certain star player on the Stars roster. His favourite team is the Oilers and it’s a good time to be a fan.

It’s also a good time to be Rod Pedersen as he’s sober. He’s also helping others with their journey to sobriety and he does it with bluntness. The one thing about Rod Pedersen is he doesn’t get splinters sitting on the fence. He’s open about his life changing moment and recovery and how he continues to push forward, one day at a time.

It’s an open and honest conversation with one of Canada’s most recognizable media personalities.
