They discuss how the Cubs' spending approach has changed this season, fueled by the added revenue from five home playoff games—something Tom Ricketts has pointed to as allowing for increased investment.

It could be nothing. But this is a front office that is always willing to listen, never viewing a player as untouchable. And the Cubs are clearly signaling that they’re not yet done with their offseason moves. So where does that leave Shaw and Hoerner now that the Cubs have a potential surplus of infielders after the addition of Alex Bregman? The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney share what they’re hearing on North Side Territory, the go-to show for offseason news and analysis of the Cubs.

The Cubs have done nice work since our last podcast, adding Edward Cabrera and Alex Bregman, but Oleg and Praz are here to discuss what else the Cubs should do. Praz has some first-hand accounts from Cubs Convention. Tyler Austin might not want to rent a place in town just yet. Kyle Tucker is a Dodger and owners are so upset they're going to demand a salary cap...for the 32nd year in a row. The Cubs had a 2016 reunion and have more plans to honor them during the season, and it could get weird. There are new Utility Tunnel of Famers. Marquee's cutting back on spring broadcasts to be cheap, and even more.
Boston Red Sox face a crossroads after losing Alex Bregman and Rafael Devers—can their young core and new signings spark a deeper playoff run? Roman Anthony emerges as a potential franchise cornerstone as the Sox weigh high expectations for his sophomore season, while recent additions like Willson Contreras and promising pitcher Kyle Harrison aim to balance the lineup and strengthen the rotation.Gabby (Hurlbut) Maljanian examines the front office's offseason strategy, the impact of Masataka Yoshida's potential breakout, and the need for another big bat to compete with AL East rivals like the Yankees, Blue Jays, and Orioles. Trade rumors swirl around targets such as Nico Hoerner and Isaac Paredes, fueling debate on whether Boston's mix of youth and experience is ready to take the next step. Will ownership commit the resources needed to push the Red Sox past perennial contenders?
In the wake of the Dodgers signing Kyle Tucker and the Mets signing Bo Bichette, Steve Adams and Anthony Franco both join Darragh McDonald to discuss whether it will be a new trend for stars to seek out short-term deals and whether a salary cap is the best way to solve baseball's parity issues.They also talk about how Bichette fits on the Mets' roster, whether the team will now trade for outfield help, and how the front office seemingly doesn't care as much about defense as they previously stated. Other topics include the deal that sent Nolan Arenado to the Diamondbacks, whether Brandon Donovan and JoJo Romero could still get traded this offseason, the Red Sox pivoting to Ranger Suarez after Alex Bregman signed elsewhere, and whether Boston will trade for an infielder.
Sam and Joel react to the recent free agent signings of Alex Bregman, Kyle Tucker, and Bo Bichette; the Boston Red Sox seem to just be stockpiling pitchers; is a salary cap in MLB inevitable? ; the college football national championship happened; the Dominican Lidom World Series is set.

RUNDOWN Mitch and Danny open Episode 366 sparring over Seahawks fan anxiety during a supposedly "relaxing" Wild Card weekend, as Mitch openly roots for any path that avoids the Rams. They break down why the Seahawks' fear factor is matchup-based rather than talent-based, react to the Rams' narrow escape against Carolina, and land on the uncomfortable truth: there are no easy games left. Plus, a little spirited Seahawks trivia showdown celebrating Jaxon Smith-Njigba's First Team All-Pro honor and revisiting the franchise's all-time elite. The conversation pivots to the Damon Williams saga at Washington, with both acknowledging a sharply divided Husky fanbase and debating whether Williams' return reflects genuine remorse or unavoidable financial and legal reality. Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens break down the Seahawks' divisional-round matchup against the 49ers, debating whether Seattle avoided or invited its toughest possible playoff test. They examine health advantages coming off the bye, the danger Kyle Shanahan still poses, and why Seattle's offense must create early separation to avoid a tight finish. The conversation expands to Clint Kubiak's head-coaching buzz, potential internal replacements, and why Jaxon Smith-Njigba's first-team All-Pro nod may be the only individual honor a historically collective Seahawks defense was ever going to earn. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to dissect the Damon Williams soap opera at Washington, arguing the real villain isn't the player but a broken NIL system with zero transparency and a completely backward calendar. He bluntly accuses Lane Kiffin of tampering after missing on other quarterback targets, explaining how desperation and unchecked money have turned the portal into chaos. Neuheisel stresses that UW and Jed Fisch must now repair the relationship between Williams and the Husky fanbase, warning that without crowd buy-in at Husky Stadium, Washington's ceiling drops dramatically. Neuheisel dissects Ole Miss's final-play decision against Miami, explaining why failing to steal easy yardage doomed their comeback chances. He details how Indiana has built a mature, NFL-ready roster through NIL, experience, and elite defensive play, arguing the Hoosiers are now a true national power. Neuheisel also makes the case that quarterback Fernando Mendoza is a future NFL superstar and backs Indiana to cover and win the national championship.
