TJ McFarland Interview

Retired MLB left-hander T.J. McFarland joins FromThe108 for an unfiltered look inside a 13 season Major League career!

From getting drafted in 2007 to carving out over a decade in big-league bullpens (Orioles, D-backs, A’s, Cardinals, Mets, Dodgers), T.J. breaks down what it truly takes to survive at the highest level. We get into his favorite uniforms and stadiums, toughest hitters to face, his legendary reputation for being the most “frugal” man in the clubhouse, transitioning into civilian life, and why the Chicago White Sox never gave him the call.

Plus, with MLB labor tensions brewing, T.J. gives an honest former player’s perspective on the upcoming collective bargaining battle and whether players are bracing for another lockout.
