It’s not remotely unusual for Brian Schmetzer and Garth Lagerwey to both appear on KJR within hours of one another, but rarely has that confluent of events been more relevant than on Tuesday. The dueling interviews came a day after Schmetzer was quoted in The Athletic expressing a degree of frustration that he was months away from being out of contract.
Both Schmetzer and Lagerwey expressed varying degrees of confidence that an extension would get signed, but neither gave particularly strong hints that an agreement was imminent.
First up was Schmetzer, who was doing his weekly spot with Softy and Dick Fain on KJR.
