The Son's start-off like usual in talking through some of the deals that have happened since last episode such as Stroman, Teoscar, and Jordan Hicks becoming a born-again starter? The Cubs finally woke up and made some deals for the first time this offseason. MEH-riners minute with Chris is BACK and there were two trades to breakdown. Hall of Fame voting update with 49% of ballots known. Old man Andrew gets mad at cloud about MLB Network's Top 2B list. Thanks for listening and see you next time! 

The Sons try to introduce new segments such as the "Meh-riners Minute" and the "Braves Breakdown" all while discussing the only real thing that's happened since the last episode - Yamamoto is a Dodger (Boo). HOWEVER the main topic for today's episode is mainly centered around the 2024 Hall of Fame ballots. What makes for a great HoF inductee?  Is one stat more important than another?  Should who they are as people keep them out? All this and more will be debated and argued about. Thanks for listening and see you next time!  

The Sons talk about some of the deals made already this offseason like Ohtani, Glasnow, Jung Hoo Lee, and others. Potential landing spots for Yamamoto, Bellinger, Snell, and more. We might be betting the Royals over for total wins for 2024 season. Players' ages get the better of Chris yet again. They end with an “All I want for Christmas” segment where Chris and Andrew both ask for some presents under the tree for their teams and the MLB. Thanks for listening and see you next time! 

The Sons cover the deals that happened over the winter meetings including the Soto blockbuster to the Yankees, which makes them both fear the reawakening of the Evil Empire in the Bronx, Chris is distraught over the Mariners loss of Kelenic to Andrew's Braves, and Chris continues to get every player's age wrong. They discuss Ohtani and Yamamoto in bulk and potential landing spots as each seeks to break the bank during Free Agency. When do all the trades start happening? Do guys like Burnes, Cease and Glasnow get traded this offseason? Thanks for listening and see you next time! 

Two friends who were the sons of coaches are here to turn everyday conversations about Baseball into a podcast. We'll breakdown big news, trades, hypotheticals, stats (but not in a nerdy way), and everything in between. We're here to just talk about the game we all love, so come have fun with us.
