Big Cat and PFT Explain Their Christian Yelich Home Run Derby Situation To ESPN Senior MLB Insider Jeff Passan

On today's Pardon My Take... JEFF PASSAN! The Senior MLB Insider for ESPN joined Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter on today's show to talk MLB opening day, the potentially historic Dodgers, rookies to look out for, sleepers and tons more.

Pardon My Take has been fortunate enough to develop relationships with numerous Major League players, including Christian Yelich. And if you're not aware of the specifics regarding Yelich and PMT, well... here is a little refresher...

Jeff Passan was not aware of these wild stakes as well, so what was his raw reaction when he found out that Big Cat and PFT would have to do what they said they would do if Yelich wins the Home Run Derby? Take a look....

Suddenly, Jeff Passan is interested to see if the Milwaukee star can hit more dingers than anyone else at a certain event in the middle of the summer! Interesting. Very, very interesting.

I remember in 2019 when I started interning with PMT, Yelich was having an incredible season. He was going to be one of the favorites to win the Home Run Derby, and then had to back out last minute due to an injury. 

Can he put himself in a position to get Big Cat and PFT in this incredibly uncomfortable situation in 2025? We shall see…
