PEORIA, Ariz. — The Extra Innings podcast returns just as venerable Times columnist Larry Stone is preparing to leave spring training and return home to the Pacific Northwest. So before he departs, he sat down with beat writer Ryan Divish to discuss his nine days in Arizona and what he saw, specifically covering the Ichiro press conference and what role the very veteran outfielder will play on the team. Stone also discusses some of his takeaways from his time in Peoria, which included the hot-hitting of Daniel Vogelbach, who looks like a different player compared to last spring and the smooth transition to the outfield and a new clubhouse for Dee Gordon.
