On "Days of Roar," Evan Petzold and Chris Brown evaluate the Detroit Tigers with one week until MLB's Winter Meetings. Right-hander Dylan Cease kicked off free agency this offseason with a seven-year, $210 million contract from the Toronto Blue Jays, raising questions about left-hander Tarik Skubal's market next offseason. We break down agent Scott Boras' latest comments about third baseman Alex Bregman — and whether the Tigers truly need his leadership. We dig into the Tigers' interest in right-hander Michael King in free agency, then break down how president of baseball operations Scott Harris should spend his remaining $35 million (if the payroll target is $175 million). Greg Jewett, a bullpen expert, joins the show to analyze the relievers on the free agent and trade markets, including the best fits for the Tigers. He discusses everything from top-tier options to under-the-radar candidates, plus he reacts to the breaking news of right-handed reliever Devin Williams signing with the New York Mets. To wrap up, Brown digs into a bigger-picture organizational question: Do the Tigers have a pitching problem? Follow Evan on X/Twitter here. Read Evan's most recent work here

Welcome to Episode 119 of Tablesetters—and today we're joined by one of the most influential minds in modern baseball analysis. Eno Sarris, Senior MLB Writer at The Athletic, co-host of Rates & Barrels, creator of Stuff+, and a driving force behind how the sport understands pitching, pitch design, and player value, sits in with us for a conversation that spans the future of baseball, the state of analytics, and everything reshaping the game this offseason. Eno's work sits at the intersection of curiosity and clarity—where a question about a fastball's shape becomes a study of deception, intent, biomechanics, and why certain pitches outperform their “stuff.” His concepts—Stuff+, seam-shifted wake, pitch-shape modeling, bat-speed evaluation—have filtered through front offices, pitching labs, broadcast booths, and fantasy baseball communities. If you've ever wondered why a pitch works, Eno is probably the person who has already built the model explaining it. This winter he broke down the smartest value buys in free agency, explaining why Tatsuya Imai's fastball could be the next elite NPB translation, why Alex Bregman's aging curve is misunderstood, what actually caused Ryan Helsley's 2025 volatility, and how Cody Ponce rebuilt himself into a meaningful big-league option. He also delivered the clearest analytical breakdown of the Emmanuel Clase gambling scandal—quantifying exactly how six intentionally thrown pitches affected win probability, cost Cleveland real financial value, and altered the organization's multi-year roster plan. On top of that, his postseason analysis reframed how we think about October baseball—from the rise of contact + damage, to the surge in TOOTBLANs, to the drag on starters pitching on short rest, to the explosion of splitter usage across elite arms. And all of this happens as MLB enters a brand-new distribution era. ESPN absorbs MLB.TV. NBC returns to Sunday Night Baseball. Netflix enters live baseball with Opening Night, the Home Run Derby, and the 2026 Field of Dreams game. Few people can contextualize these shifts the way Eno can, and today we dig into how this realignment reshapes the fan experience and hints at where the sport is heading. We also get into Eno's offseason rhythm—how he unwinds (or doesn't), how his fantasy season went, and how his models continue evolving behind the scenes. From data to storytelling, from pitch design to media rights, from free-agent value to playoff trends, this is one of the most wide-ranging and illuminating conversations we've had on Tablesetters.

BT and Sal dive deep into a fiery debate over the Yankees' third base decision for 2026: pursue the superior, clutch, but aging Alex Bregman or settle for the defense-first Ryan McMahon, warning against a DJ LeMahieu-like decline. On the Mets side, the discussion ignites over a trade proposal for Cy Young-level pitcher Tarik Skubal, requiring four top prospects (Tong, Sproat, Jett Williams, Mauricio). Sal views losing the prospects without a guaranteed extension as "irresponsible," while BT and Hof argue a generational talent like Skubal is worth the risk. Finally, the hosts battle over their Week 12 NFL Power Rankings, with BT controversially crowning his Denver Broncos as the AFC's best team, even predicting a Broncos vs. 49ers Super Bowl, while Sal struggles to trust the inconsistency of the Eagles and Bills.

BT & Sal dive into a heated debate over whether the Yankees should stick with Ryan McMahon at third base or pursue free-agent star Alex Bregman. Sal champions the current player, arguing that McMahon's elite defense and lower cost at $16 million outweigh his lack of offense, especially since Bregman (turning 32) is perceived as being "on the decline," drawing parallels to the failed signing of DJ LeMahieu. Tierney fiercely counters, labeling McMahon as a "lower-level player" with "no stick" and demanding the Yankees pursue the unequivocally "better player" in Bregman, regardless of his anticipated 5-6 year contract or age, stating that the priority must be winning a World Series now. The discussion also touches on whether Cody Bellinger's history of success under New York scrutiny makes him a better target for the Mets.

BT & Sal dive into a fiery "Call of the Day" that sparks a huge debate over player acquisitions, specifically whether acquiring Alex Bregman is a mistake, with Sal comparing him to a "declining" DJ LeMahieu due to his age (32) and salary. Tierney challenges the caller's preference for the defense-first Ryan McMahon, forcing an admission that Bregman is clearly the better player. The conversation shifts to a fascinating "Time Machine" question: If you could go back to one sporting event in history, which would it be? Sal picks a sentimental New York baseball pilgrimage to Ebbets Field and the Polo Grounds with his grandfather, while Tierney's highly unusual choice is the amateur golfer Bobby Jones in the 1920s. They also touch on the mind of A-Rod, debating his insecurities and his interview with Katie Couric.

BT and Sal kick off the show with the bizarre video of Cam Skattebo performing a "shoey"—drinking an energy drink from a cleat—and his sideline antics. The hosts ignite a debate over a hypothetical Yankees trade for Tarik Skubal, questioning if a package including Spencer Jones and Will Warren is enough to beat the competition, and are shocked that ESPN ranks the Yankees' farm system at a disappointing 25th, compared to the Mets' #1 ranking. The conversation pivots to the international market, where they discuss the race for Japanese stars like Kaz Okamoto and the surprisingly low batting average of Munetaka Murakami against fastballs. A caller then proposes a trade for Fernando Tatis Jr., forcing the hosts to dissect his massive, albatross-like contract. In the Call of the Day, the guys argue over Alex Bregman's declining value against Ryan McMahon's solid defense. The show wraps up with a fun time-machine question: What single historical sporting event would they go back to?

BT and Sal ignite a fiery debate on the New York baseball offseason, focusing on the nightmare scenario of Pete Alonso in pinstripes and the Mets' hypothetical, high-stakes Tarik Skubal trade proposal (costing four top prospects). Sal unveils his "Grand Slam Blueprint" for the Mets' future, but the hosts slam any executive who thinks Skubal's trade value won't drop due to injury risk—calling the strategy "moronic." The discussion pivots to the Yankees' third-base quandary: Is the safer, defense-first Ryan McMahon a better fit than the superior, aging Alex Bregman? Plus, shockwaves hit as the Yankees' farm system ranks a dismal 25th to the Mets' #1. Finally, they tackle the broader sports world, with BT railing against the "unwatchable" NBA regular season due to rest days, and they argue over the Week 12 NFL Power Rankings, where BT controversially champions his Denver Broncos.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery critique of the Yankees' front office after Trent Grisham shocked the industry by accepting the Qualifying Offer (QO) for $22 million, a move both hosts agree was a colossal misread by the team driven by the lure of a compensatory draft pick. BT argues the QO acceptance is the "first potential domino to a horrendous offseason," fearing the added salary and player complexity will make the Yankees reluctant to pursue top targets like Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker. Sal pushes back, insisting the Yankees can (and must) absorb the cost and still be aggressive, specifically needing to trade prospects like Dominguez or Jones for an elite piece like Steven Kwan to truly improve. The hosts also break down the financial impact and player fit, with the conversation focusing on the Yankees' urgent need for a right-handed bat (like Alex Bregman) and the danger of running back the same "not-a-championship-team" roster. Ultimately, they agree that if the QO prevents the necessary aggressive moves, it signals a failure to adapt as Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole's competitive window shrinks.

BT & Sal are demanding that the Yankees finally go on a "big offseason" spending spree and become aggressive in their pursuit of a championship. They debate the necessity of re-signing Cody Bellinger (arguing that losing him makes the team worse) and whether the team has the "appetite" for a massive, multi-year contract for a star like Alex Bregman (predicted to cost about $173M). The hosts also slam the organization for its glut of positional players (DHs, limited defenders) and insist that to make room for necessary additions, Cashman "has to trade" at least one young, high-potential player like Jasson Dominguez or Spencer Jones. They conclude that with the clocks ticking on Judge and Cole, the Yankees can no longer afford to be held back by smaller contracts or cheap team-building strategies.

BT & Sal dive into Jeff Passan's comprehensive MLB offseason preview, discussing the hot rumors and high-stakes free agency decisions facing the New York clubs. For the Mets, the news is dominated by David Stearns's radical overhaul, with star players like Nimmo, McNeil, and Senga all deemed "extremely available." The hosts are energized by the possibility of the Mets pursuing a powerhouse bullpen, pairing Devin Williams with Edwin Diaz, while Sal remains convinced Pete Alonso will ultimately stay, despite the Red Sox's heavy interest in both Pete and Alex Bregman. For the Yankees, the big question is whether Trent Grisham will accept the Qualifying Offer, which BT hopes he rejects to avoid "complicating the future." The two clash over the handling of Jasson Dominguez, with BT arguing the Yankees need to get an answer on their young players at the Major League level, while Sal believes the Martian needs more time in the minors to fully develop and find a position. The segment also notes that both the Mets and Yankees are currently in the mix for star outfielder Kyle Tucker.

BT & Sal dive into the shocking report from Jeff Passan that the Mets are "blowing up plenty" of their roster, potentially making Nimmo, McNeil, and Senga available for trade. The fiery discussion focuses heavily on Pete Alonso's future, as an industry source suggests the Mets' maximum offer is a "disrespectful" 2+1 deal at around $30 million per year. Sal argues that while Alonso deserves more than the recently signed Naylor, the Mets must resist paying $30M/year over six seasons. They debate whether Steve Cohen will override GM David Stearns to keep the fan favorite. The show also touches on potential additions like Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker and starts with a quick rant about the Giants' lack of accountability after Abdul Carter's discipline issues and the team's ongoing "sloppiness."
