Listen Now: The Deal with Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly

Joe Weisenthal (0:00)

Hello, I'm Joe Weisenthal, and I'm the co-host of the Odd Lots Podcast. And I wanted to tell you about another show we make here at Bloomberg Podcasts called The Deal, hosted by baseball legend Alex A. Rod Rodriguez and Bloomberg Originals Chief Correspondent Jason Kelly. Each week, Alex and Jason sit down with athletes, moguls, and entrepreneurs, and talk about the intersection of sports and money. Because before the game, there's always The Deal. Past guests include Serena Williams, Stephen A. Smith, Derek Jeter, and more. The new season of The Deal is out now, so stay tuned for the trailer. And follow The Deal from Bloomberg Podcasts on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
