Podcast: Marlins’ Miguel Rojas on playing in a pandemic, David Beckham gossip on Greg Cote Show

It’s opening week for Miami and MLB as baseball navigates its return in a pandemic, and we welcome a special guest as Marlins team captain Miguel Rojas joins The Greg Cote Show podcast for Episode 21, out now.

In a conversation fun and serious, Rojas discusses the man in the monkey mask, the teammate who once superstitiously wore the same underwear — backward — for an entire season, and of course the anxiety of family life and returning to play as the COVID-19 plague rages on in Florida and elsewhere.

Greg’s wife also joins the latest show to share a story about Greg and a swimming pool that she finds disgusting, but he insists is perfectly normal. (No, it isn’t what you’re thinking).

We also bring you the latest installment of the controversial Mount Gregmore Name Game — the D’s. It’s a segment Chris loathes but we do it anyway.

Oh, and we share a story about Inter Miami boss David Beckham and his family, a tale about a lavish upcoming family celebration that is all over the British tabloids. It involves whiskey, beauty products, love and money. Lots and lots of money.

You will hear all of this and more in the new Greg Cote Show Episode 21! Find a new episode out every Monday morning on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, Megaphone and wherever else you do your podding, including of course at MiamiHerald.com. We began this venture in March, and support from our loyal, growing pod family of listeners has been tremendous. Thank you, and please continue to subscribe, rate and review.
