Wednesday, August 28, 2024 • Duration 56:59

Steve Adams joins Darragh McDonald to discuss Mariners' manager Scott Servais getting fired along with their hitting coach, Angels' GM Perry Minasian getting an extension and how owner Arte Moreno is to blame for the team's lack of success, the Orioles' lack of rotation depth after recent acquisitions Zach Eflin got injured and Trevor Rogers got optioned, and the legacy and accomplishments of Joey Votto after he announced his retirement this week.

Listener question topics include the chances of Max Fried signing an extension with Atlanta and how his relatively disappointing season will affect his earnings. Also, what the market will look like for Justin Verlander when he hits free agency this offseason.

Wednesday, August 21, 2024 • Duration 56:01

Steve Adams joins Darragh McDonald to discuss how teams such as the Rangers and Pirates could place players on waivers in hopes of getting salary relief (like the Angels did last year), proposed ideas that would emphasize the importance of starting pitchers, Austin Riley's hand fracture being the latest of Atlanta's many injuries this season, and the Cubs releasing Hector Neris after an underwhelming season.

Jose Abreu's Release, Betts and Yamamoto Hit The IL And Even More Injuries

Wednesday, June 19, 2024 • Duration 57:38

Steve Adams joins Darragh McDonald to discuss Jose Abreu getting released and how the Astros' struggles this year haven't afforded them time to wait for struggling players to turn things around. Also, the recent injuries to Mookie Betts and Yoshinobu Yamamoto and if the Dodgers will make any reactionary moves, Anthony Rizzo out for the Yankees and whether his job will still be there for him when he gets healthy and the Braves' Michael Harris II out with a hamstring strain. The guys also talk about the passing of WIllie Mays and his baseball legacy.

Listener question topics include trying to figure out whether or not the Mets are contenders in a crowded wild card field, the Nationals being surprisingly interesting and if it makes sense for the White Sox to package together their big trade chips in one megadeal.

Listener question topics include the liklihood of the Brewers trading Willy Adames to recoup value before he becomes a free agent, if the number of Tommy John surgeries is rising, and whether money will be a big factor for teams at the deadline the way it was during last year's free agency.

Wednesday, May 22, 2024 • Duration 36:38

Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald to discuss what kind of offer it would take to convince Juan Soto and Scott Boras to forgo free agency, the seven-year extension offer that the Mets floated to Pete Alonso last year and what he and the team will decide to do this year as he is set to become a free agent.

Listener question topics include whether the Orioles and Tigers could match up on a trade involving a bat for a bullpen arm, some questions about the prospect promotion incentive: if a rookie traded mid-season qualifies, why Mason Miller isn't eligible and if rookies from foreign leagues can help their teams get a draft pick. Lastly, why has Corbin Carroll struggled so much this year and and what the Diamondbacks should do about it.

Listener question topics include who the Astros could sell if they don't turn things around after their poor start, if the Phillies would consider prospect Mick Abel a rotation surplus and trade him for a bat, and if the Tigers should sell high on Tarik Skubal.
