Then, they get into the team's need for a ninth-inning reliever, their trust in Ross Atkins and John Schneider moving forward, and whether the Jays' success can be sustained in 2026. Later, Jeff and Kevin take the temperature of the AL East as the Yankees stay quiet while the Orioles get aggressive. For the final word of 2025, the guys share some early 2026 World Series picks and project where Bichette will land.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Roger and Sho open the second hour by welcoming Gord Stellick, former Maple Leafs GM and friend of the show! He breaks down the Leafs' disappointing weekend to wrap up the road trip and rough first half of the season, including injuries, goaltending, coaching, and overall direction. They then turn to the text-line to gauge how fans think the team should proceed this year. After the break, the focus shifts to the Red Sox acquiring Willson Contreras to discuss the strengthened AL East and concerns about the Blue Jays' lack of position player additions.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The Blue Jays head to the New Year having accomplished necessary improvements to the pitching staff, but still needing one big bat to solidify the lineup. The answer could be Bo, or Kyle Tucker, maybe someone else via trade or free agency, but on Exit Philosophy, Griff and Mal discuss the implications if this is the final position-player roster. What is the new market for Bichette, now that he has expressed a willingness to consider second base? The Jays ranked sixth in all of MLB in Luxury Tax, but nobody can match the Dodgers. How did the Jays arrive at ranking among the big boys in payroll? Finding a landing spot that would benefit Jose Berrios, ranking the AL East with eight weeks left before spring training and much more. ---- Get the video version of "Exit Philosophy" and "Conversations with Griff" on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ExitPhilosophy ---- For the full catalogue of Richard Griffin's work, including weekly Blue Jays/MLB columns, a weekly MLB Power Rankings column, exclusive conversations with some of the game's greats, past and present, and the Exit Philosophy podcast, visit https://www.griffsthepitch.com/

Big Cinco Rams-Seahawks Recap and AL East Offseason Moves

The Orioles have been linked to Michael King in free agency along with the Red Sox and Yankees. Nolan McGraw says the idea of outbidding fellow AL East foes is attractive, but he's not convinced King would provide what they need.

The Pete Alonso signing was big, and the team has made other noteable moves this offseason. But there is still work to do if the Orioles are going to leap back to the top of the AL East. Let's talk about it! BlueSky Twitter YouTube Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The offseason officially rolls on for the Chase for 28 crew, but optimism is in short supply. In Episode 117, Chris, the Podcast Padre, and the Podcast Paisan return to break down a Yankees winter that feels frozen in time. From the shocking qualifying offer acceptance by Trent Grisham to the continued reliance on analytics over fundamentals, the guys question whether Brian Cashman and the front office truly understand what this team needs to win in October.The conversation spans roster construction, positional logjams, and the growing frustration of running back essentially the same team. They debate Volpe's future, Ben Rice's role, the impossibility of moving Giancarlo Stanton's contract, and whether the Yankees are leaning too heavily on pitching to mask offensive flaws. Add in lockout speculation, ownership spending concerns, Asian market rumors, and a lively trivia debate, and this episode captures exactly how uneasy Yankees fans feel heading into 2026.Key Topics DiscussedWhy the Yankees made (and lost) the Trent Grisham qualifying offer gambleHow MLB qualifying offers work—and why this one backfiredHas baseball passed Brian Cashman by?Analytics vs. “using your eyes” in roster decisionsThe Yankees' youth movement paradox: Domínguez, Jones, Volpe, WellsBen Rice as catcher or first baseman—and the ripple effectsLefty-heavy lineups, balance, and Yankee Stadium roster philosophyFrustrations with bottom-of-the-lineup productionDebating contact hitters vs. power-first approachesAsian market targets: Murakami, Okamoto, Imai, and posting-system realitiesGiancarlo Stanton's contract and the need to free the DH spotPitching reliance: Cole's age, Rodón's value, and rotation trustLockout speculation and the Dodgers changing the financial landscapeAre the Yankees still true AL East favorites?Yankees Trivia

Huge news out of Camden Yards, as the Orioles have signed 31 year old first baseman Pete Alonso to a 5 year, $155 million dollar contract! After years of talk from this front office about opening up David Rubenstein's checkbook to spend money on the free agent market (and intervening swings and misses on big targets), the O's have finally landed their white whale (or, polar bear) in the longtime Mets masher. How did all of this finally come together for an organization that had become synonymous with disappointment in free agency? How does Alonso project to fit into this young clubhouse, and their aspirations to return to the top of the AL East? What does the future hold for current players that a move like this no doubt affects? The guys get into all of that, and plenty more on tonight's show.

Thoughts on Josh Smith at second?2.The Blue Jays made noise by signing Dylan Cease for 7-years and $210 million. WOW. That's a lot of scratch. Did you like the signing?3.The Orioles finally spend a little bit of money, signing Ryan Helsley to a 2-year, $28 million contract. It takes a big closer arm off the board.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning discuss the Oilers' disappointing game against the Dallas Stars, exploring whether goaltending is the sole issue and if a major rethink is needed for playoff contention. They ponder Connor McDavid's long-term commitment to the team and compare the Oilers to the current Leafs. The hosts also reflect on Jamie Benn's career milestone and discuss the Blue Jays' potential interest in Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte, as well as the implications of Sonny Gray's trade to the Red Sox for the AL East. They wrap up by addressing Hal Steinbrenner's comments on the Yankees' revenue and the Blue Jays' pursuit of Tatsuya Imai (24:45).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

BT & Sal tear into Hal Steinbrenner's latest comments, arguing his stance suggests "much is going to change" with the Yankees' failed formula. Sal is fed up with Steinbrenner's talk of potentially lowering payroll and his belief that rivals like the Blue Jays simply got "lucky." The hosts demand a "radical" move, specifically the trading of Giancarlo Stanton, arguing it would be "addition by subtraction" to free up the roster and payroll for needed changes, comparing it to the Mets' surprising Nimmo trade. They also slam Hal's defensive response to Aaron Boone's comment about the team being the "least analytical" in the AL East, suggesting it enables the "Department of Nerds" to continue the status quo. Finally, they criticize Hal's take on pursuing Japanese stars—like Yamamoto—acknowledging the business side, but missing the bigger picture of the Yankees losing their status as a destination for elite international talent.

Today's word of the day is ‘inferior' as in the Yankees as in the Blue Jays as in the ALDS as in the ALCS as in the AL East. The Blue Jays eliminated the Yankees at Yankee Stadium last night. The Yankees high-powered offense was nowhere to be found. Vladimir Guerrero Jr had himself a series. Aaron Judge had himself a series. And the Yankees still lost. (15:00) The Tigers beat the Mariners. Series extended. The bats woke up. And now they head to Seattle with Tarik Skubal on the mound. The Chicago Cubs got a win. 4 runs in the first. And that was it. What about the Phillies? Welcome to the series Kyle Schwarber. Thank you for showing up! (27:00) Review: Coda. (30:00) Let's bring Coca in. (43:00) NPPOD. (45:00) What is going on with Giannis?

All they need was a win on Sunday vs the Marlins and they were shutout. 3rd time they've been eliminated by the Marlins on the final day of the season. (19:00) Now let's talk about the Astros. Houston has a problem for the first time in years. They missed the postseason. (24:30) The Toronto Blue Jays have won the AL East. Tied with the New York Yankees, but the tiebreaker got the win. First title since 2015! Alex Cora talked after the Red Sox made the postseason. He said no one believed in them. Hmm. (37:00) The Guardians did it. They won the AL Central. How? 15.5 games back!
