BALTIMORE -- Regardless of your feelings on the Orioles' handling of top prospect Jackson Holliday, there's a good chance you've felt right and wrong...

Author Jason Turbow gives Nestor an Oakland Athletics history lesson and discusses everything that went wrong over 50 years dating back to Charlie Finley and a book he wrote on the 1970s World Series champions draped in thrift and constant acrimony.

"Just getting a corner at this point like Nate is probably the best way we could have started this weekend."

Late in the night the Baltimore Ravens were quite excited about drafting Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins with the 30th pick and now Luke Jones and Nestor await how general manager Eric DeCosta will address the offensive line and other needs this weekend via what has already been a wild NFL Draft.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Orioles returning from Anaheim to see the A's and Yankees at Camden Yards with the Heston Kjerstad promotion and the curious Rashod Bateman deal with the Ravens before NFL Draft. A big week of sports ahead in Baltimore.

Recovering sportswriter Susan Fornoff comes home to Baltimore to talk Oriole Magic, Athletics history and why it matters to fans in Oakland and beyond. And Nestor finally gets to tell some old newspaper tales of her legend and lore at The News American in the 1980s before that creep Dave Kingman showed who the real rats of Major League Baseball were to baseball beat writers.

General manager Eric DeCosta said he didn't expect Nate Wiggins to be available at the end of the first round.

The Clemson product is the first cornerback selected by Baltimore in the first round since Marlon Humphrey in 2017.
