After Hours with Amy Lawrence - David Samson, CBS Sports HQ MLB Analyst/Former Marlins VP - a podcast by Radio.com

David joins Amy to try to make some sense of this sticky substances business in Major League Baseball.

David explains that the league's stiff penalties are actually a negotiation tactic ahead of their CBA discussions with its players.

David goes on to detail exactly what each of these substances do to aid pitchers, and hitters, in successfully gripping the baseball or improving their spin rate.

David also acknowledges that this is, and always has been, extremely prevalent throughout MLB.

And lastly, David expresses his anger, as he realizes MLB has a negative public perception opposed to leagues like the NFL.
