Sampson should come on monthly to talk about this stuff. Can’t beat the candor!

highly informative and entertaining convo IMO. we'll try to get him on the show more often

Sampson is the most interesting baseball analyst i've ever heard. And he's not afraid of voicing controversial .. but INFORMED... opinions. So glad the football season is over so he'll start concentrating on baseball again on his channel.

Great interview. Hope he’s on more often

david"s show has been a constant go to the last 4 years. glad to see him branching out cbs doesnt showcase for him worth a shit

Would be great to have Samson on more. He’s great and really gives insight on what most ppl don’t know

Love Samson. Candid & Honest. So refreshing.

He loves brining up Jeter 😂😂

Amazing talk! I hope you'll have him on again soon!

This show deserves more love

I like how he is actually admitting what GMs do to players right in front of them and the players are agreeing for the most part. Shows he is actually being honest.

Great work David

LOVED the candid interview - so amazing!!!

Great to learn about baseball from David Sampson, the stories about how teams are run Is interesting

One of the best interviews on this channel absolutely loved it! Between the background stories that were told. And the actual business side of being educated on how it works with some small market teams. Very insightful.

Loved listening to Mr.Samson a lot. Great interview/show

One of the best FT Live segments ever. FWIW, his appearance on your show got me to subscribe to Samson's podcast.

Great segment. Samson is a treasure to baseball fans.

It's always a great episode of FT when somebody brings up the fissures.

Love this pod!

This is an amazing interview

Love Sampson. So brutally honest about everything. Him being like “hell yeah I tampered so what” so awesome

This clip is exactly why this show is second to none! No way any of this would have been allowed to air on MLB network

Thank you for giving some attention to the Marlins.

How about the fact the built that stadium where nobody wants to go. It should have been built in Ft.Lauderdale so people from Broward and Palm Beach could have went to games. How does Sampson not mention that. Real fans know. Nobody wants to go down there.

Good job David

Can we please get time stamps for the topics please 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

David Samson spitting some absolute truth bombs. Awesome

Full Costanza. Great reference

I loved the sculpture!

Sell the Oakland A's. Keep the A's in Oakland.

I do agree that the Marlins ballpark is more sterile. They took some of the Miami out of it. That was dumb

Jeter looked great with the Marlins he took them to the playoffs.

That was really good

Hockey and Texas rangers fan, this is super interesting as a casual

For the sake of the timeline, Dee Gordon was traded to the Marlins in December 2014. He was suspended for PEDs in April 2016. Also, that was an awesome dig at AJ by Kratz - “You can’t pull fat.”

Ty

great fit for FT

David Sampson is a national treasure.

I think Jeter did all of this to get back at Miami for the 03 WS. 😂😂 Other than that, idk why that man decided it was cool lol

Samson’s candor here just confirmed what I have always strongly suspected all along. Human nature is human nature. It’s just common sense stuff. He should write ✍️ a book. I’ll buy it and read it .

Where’s the full episodes boys?

Best guest ever. Love this guys show

I remember the show Tanked or something like that where this aquarium company was building the backstop aquarium tanks at Miami Marlins park and David being totally absorbed in the process building the aquariums and asking how the fish wouldn't get stressed and frightened by foul tips. Running my own reef tanks and saltwater fish only aquariums I was impressed at David's knowledge. He knew that stress could kill some of the fish in those tanks and was genuinely concerned for their welfare. Samson had a line that went something like, "I don't want to see fish floating on top of the water after every game. I don't care if the fans won't see it, but I will." I never had many kind thoughts toward Samson before, understandable being a Braves fan at the time, but seeing him caring about those fish made me think a little better of him. Jeter trashing those aquariums just because it was from the previous management was petty as heck. Changing the stadium also reduced attendance, David built that stadium to please Miami fans not NYC fans. Next year after the sale attendance dropped from 1.7 million to 600,000. That wasn't just a lousy team, Loria had done that for years, but always managed over a million spectators. Jeter showed he didn't care what the fans liked the fans and they knew it. Miami Marlins fans liked _their_ stadium and Jeter trashed it knowing that.

I'm a lifetime lifelong Yankee fan born in NYC in 1959. I have lived in Miami, Florida since 2004. Sorry I won't root for the Marlins. There's a million of former New Yorkers who live in South Florida.

This guy just reminds me so much of Ben Shapiro 😂😂😂 it’s kinda wild the similarities

The rumors David Sampson is gay are untrue but his boyfriend is.

Reason why MLB doesn't work in Miami is because the stadium is in SW MiamI. No large fan base there. Ft Lauderale and West Palm are where the MLB fans are. A Baseball stadium and ballpark village North and East of Hardrock Stadium will be closer to MLB fans thats 10 miles north of Miami.

Spring training is the reason fans don’t fully support the rays and marlins. People can live in Florida and still be braves and Yankees fans and watch them play yearly in person in march

👍👍

Jeter’s time with the Marlins was payback for 2003. He is Michael Jordan level petty

Bro is giving clout Chase don’t ever speak on my cousin name in your life people can be weird and they want to cloud chase this message from Dee cousin Kelis

The HR "statue" was a joke and made the Marlins look like a terrible carnival team.

And marlins stadium is in a horrible location. The marlins should have move to Palm Beach

So for a little context because I know David conveniently forgets certain things. Loria was his former stepfather and maybe one of the shadiest owners that was ever in baseball. Multiple lawsuits, remember when he bought Hanley a 150K diamond chain for winning the batting title ? the stadium deal..the horrendous Miami rebranding, the whole Stanton deal was done to increase value of the franchise when they knew they were going to sell. David is a very bright guy but he tends to...forget things

Blue jays mortgaged all our prospects for shit players other than buehrle

Haven’t had dee Gordon be relevant since he changed his name

Bay Area press has completely distorted Manfred's comments last week, saying he was impatient with the A's search for an interim stadium. They did not include this comment: “I’m comfortable with where they are in the process [of finding an interim location],” Manfred said. “They have options and you know, I think they’re doing a good job of exploring them and making sure we find the best possible opportunity.” Then, omitting the above, they took the following statement and falsely interpreted it to mean he was impatient.: Manfred said a location does need to be known in the next few months.

Samson does not have inside information on the A's relocation to Las Vegas. The head of the Stadium Authority said the required documents were underway and would be released in the near future. He further said he sees no upcoming issues. Other insiders, GLPI, Bally's, and MGM have seen the stadium renderings and called them "spectacular". The team is now working with Bally's to finalize integrated hotel/resort/stadium renderings to show the whole picture. Bally's would not close the hotel at this point if they were not confident of the stadium progress. Saying they would eventually close the hotel is irrelevant. They might in 3-5 years if there were no stadium, but they would in no way do so now without a good understanding of the situation.
