Twenty-four years ago today we saw a tragedy bring the country together and Ian cherishes that sports bring people together, rather than dividing them, even through rivalries. After what we saw yesterday, and seeing the divisiveness in our country today, he hopes for the return of true discourse and civility. Eno Sarris, The Athletic joins Ian to give us the latest breakdown of where the Mariners stand in both the AL West and the American League overall. When it comes to those on the roster heading to free agency, what can the Mariners do with Josh Naylor and Geno Suarez? Lauren Helmbrecht, FOX 13 joins Ian to preview the Commanders @ Packers game tonight, especially having just been working in Green Bay most recently. Brandon Funston, The Athletic kicks off the unofficial start of the weekend to get you ready for your fantasy weekend! FACT OR FICTION!

They focus on the middle game starter, José Berríos, and dive deeper into his recent struggles to debate if this is start of a career decline. Later, the boys turn their attention back to the NFL alongside Bill Bender (23:07) of The Sporting News.

The Yankees offense can power them by any team in the American League. The Mets are finally calling up Sproat and don't expect an exciting Jets/Steelers game.

Send us a textThis was certainly a low for the season and possibly for a span much longer than that, as the Minnesota Twins are swept by the Chicago White Sox in a four-game series in Minnesota for the first time ever. David and Dan identify a few nice performances but mostly see the bad bullpen and mediocre starting pitching, which cost the Twins against what is supposedly the worst team in the American League. David wonders what Rocco Baldelli thinks of the September call-ups, and Dan asks whether there need to be coaching changes in the offseason.

MLB Network's Jon Morosi (2:17) jumps on with Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to chat about a messy 8th inning during the New York Yankees and Houston Astros game, if the Blue Jays pitchers can attack against the Yankees' hitters, Aaron Judge's future in the outfield, Bo Bichette's market value, and the chaotic race within the American League for a playoff spot. Then, MLB Hall of Famer and MLB on FOX analyst John Smoltz stops by (28:01) to discuss how difficult it is to be a closer vs. a starter nearing the postseason, playing on the road at Yankees Stadium, pitching coming out of Tommy John surgery, the playoff experience Max Scherzer brings to the pitching staff, and who is the best pitcher in baseball in 2025. 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.

Guests: Blue Jays home run leader George Springer, New York Mets bench coach John Gibbons and starting pitcher Jonah Tong September is upon us and the tension of the pennant race has ratcheted up. George Springer knows all about it, having played on three straight division winners with the Houston Astros and he is off to a tremendous September start, with three home runs and a 2.031 OPS to begin the month. Having moved into second place in the American League in OPS, behind only the Yankees' Aaron Judge, Springer joins us to talk about his incredible resurgence this season and what the Jays need to do down the stretch to take the division crown. John Gibbons was the Jays' manager the last time the team won the AL East, in 2015, and the current bench coach of the New York Mets, who hold the final wild card spot in the National League. We chat with Gibby about his memories of the Jays' great run when he was at the helm, as well as some of the challenges facing the current team. As always, Gibby is the best. Finally, Jonah Tong makes his first appearance in Deep Left Field. The 22-year-old Markham, Ontario native began his career with a win in his major league debut on August 29. The former Toronto Met who was the 75th-best prospect in the game going into this season according to Baseball Prospectus, made a meteoric rise through the New York Mets' system this year, posting a 1.43 ERA in 22 starts at Double-A and Triple-A combined with 179 strikeouts in just 113 2/3 innings.

Tek & Prem discuss the upcoming Eagles season opener against Dallas next Thursday Night, and breakdown the 53-man roster. Some late changes were pulled off by Howie and the Front Office, with former Birds returning to the nest in Epps and Covey. The QB Factory also continues to churn. With the Cowboys defense losing Micah Parsons in a trade with Green Bay, it appears more likely that the Eagles soar offensively next Thursday Night, on Super Bowl banner night. Jalen Hurts continues to be slandered by losers like Cam Newton on national television. The march to repeat as Super Bowl Champions is almost underway. The Phillies bounce back from a nitemare series sweep in NY in a big way versus the Braves, pouring on a season-high 19 runs, including 4 bombs from Schwarber as he sets a new Phillies single-game franchise record with 9 RBI. It looks more and more likely that the NL MVP Award is his to lose. The biggest question heading into the final month of baseball is whether or not the Phils can win enough to secure the 2 seed, and avoid a potential Wild Card Series against the Mets.

The baseball podcast is back with David Brown and we take a look around the league to see what races have been run and there's really anything left to decide. Are the Dodgers more or less vulnerable the longer they go through the playoffs? Why are the Brewers not a real rival, and will they ever be one? Can anybody in the American League realistically win the World Series. Would radical realignment make things better, or would we all just get even more tired of Cubs-White Sox matchups? All that, and more.

On hour one of the Big Show Plus, Garret Vander Ploeg and Aazam Ali Nanji are joined by Andrew Hoskins to preview the first matchup between the Stampeders and the Elks in the Labour Day Classic. Familiar faces on both sides will face their former organizations for the first time in this Battle of Alberta.(29:11) To wrap up the show, GVP and Aazam discuss the Jays bullpen and if it is good enough to win the American League and hopefully the World Series.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Media Inc. or any affiliate.

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins travel across the border into Canada and come away with one game in a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, one of the top teams in the American League. The results leave David wanting more, especially because the Blue Jays seemed willing to give away Game 3. Dan is a bit more optimistic and saw plenty of good signs from the team's younger players, albeit there were also plenty of miscues. David thinks that Kody Clemens needs to give Matt Wallner some bat flip tips, and Dan thinks that Mickey Gasper has a little Willians Astudillo about him. The guys also preview the MLB 2026 schedule, which was released this week.

Guests: Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer, left fielder Davis Schneider, reliever Tommy Nance The Blue Jays are getting set for a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers, who have the best record in MLB, and they'll go into it just half a game behind the Detroit Tigers for the best record in the American League. Bullpen questions abound, and we discuss those on this episode of Deep Left Field, and also welcome Max Scherzer to the podcast for the first time. The 41-year-old, Cooperstown-bound starting pitcher is showing glimpses of the pitcher who won three Cy Young awards every time out and we discuss his comeback from three months missed with a thumb injury. We also try to get him to compare this Jays team to the three teams he's played on that have been to the World Series, but he's not looking past his next start. Davis Schneider homered twice Wednesday night and has been red-hot in the month of August, batting .341 with an 1.123 OPS. He joins the show to talk about his turnaround and to sing the praises of his roommate, Ernie Clement, and of Joey Loperfido, who is likely to move back in with them shortly. And 34-year-old Tommy Nance, who has a 0.90 ERA out of the bullpen in 17 appearances, discusses his long and winding path to the big leagues, his flourishing in his role with the Jays and how excited he is to be part of a September pennant push for the first time in his career.

The Seahawks released their initial 53-man roster yesterday. Bump and Stacy highlight some of the players who made the team and talk about why there were some surprises. They talk about Luis Castillo’s recent struggles, a recently released Seahawks’ new home, and more in Headline Rewrites. They talk about why the Mariners are the team to beat in the American League. And Bump gets some gripes off his chest in Get Off My Lawn.

Longtime Seattle Mariners fan and entertainment writer Mario Lanza returns to the Jack Vita Show to talk baseball and Survivor. The Mariners were active at the trade deadline, acquiring corner infielders Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The club reaped the benefits immediately, winning 10 of its next 11 games, before hitting a snag. The M's proceeded to lose seven of their ensuing eight games. It's been a summer of high highs and low lows for the Mariners, but with just over a month remaining in the regular season, Seattle finds itself just 1.5 games back of the Houston Astros for first place in the American League West. Mario and Jack put the Mariners' season under the microscope, and attempt to predict how they see the club finishing the year. Hear why Jack believes the M's have the highest ceiling of any team in the American League. Later, they debate the merits of Cal Raleigh's season and his AL MVP candidacy. Mario's thoughts on the topic may surprise you! Along the way, they also touch on an extremely close NL West race between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, as well as various news from around Major League Baseball. Later, Mario and Jack chat about Survivor 50, the final season of Mario's Survivor Historians Podcast, The Funny 115, Saturday Night Live, and plenty more! It's an episode you will NOT want to miss!

Legendary writer Larry Stone joins Dave Softy Mahler to talk about Cal Raleigh’s MVP race against Aaron Judge, his stats, how writers will approach this vote, the positioning for the playoffs with other teams in the American League, and Logan Gilbert’s contract.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fantasy Baseball Live – August 24, 2025 @ 3:00 pmMicrosoft Teams:Segments 1 and 2 – Review of Weekend GamesAdditional Questions:1.Five young kids that we might see soon. Your thoughts for picking up:1)JJ Wetherholt (3B/2B/SS, STL) – The Cardinals have played him at third base seven times this month, and he's been on and off second base this season.2)Spencer Jones (OF, NYY) – He's tied for the lead in home runs in the minor leagues with 32.3)Jonah Tong (RHP, NYM) – Word coming out of New York is this might happen sooner rather than later.4)Payton Tolle (LHP, Bos) – Pitching to a 3.04 ERA across High, Double and Triple-A. He has 133 Ks and 23 walks in 92.1 IP. His fastball topped out at 99 MPH in Friday's start.5)Robby Snelling (LHP, Mia) – Fastball is up to 97 MPH from the left side and is pitching to a 2.73 ERA across Double and Triple-A this season. 2.Nestor Cortes pitched a one-hitter against the Dodgers on Saturday. What? His fastball averaged 90.1 MPH (T 92). Old school baseball?. Really???3.The Mariners released Dylan Moore, who started the season strong (.290, 7 HRs, 13 SB) through mid-May, then cooled off, lost his spot, and now he's cut. Is there anything here if he gets picked up by another MLB team?a.Victor Robles gets reinstated after throwing his bat at a pitcher in a Triple-A game. He takes Moore's spot on the roster. He was a sexy draft pick this season, but a shoulder injury has cost him most of the season, and then, of course, the issue in Triple-A.4. I know Nick Kurtz has the ROY award practically wrapped up in the American League, but will Colson Montgomery receive some votes? In just 41 games, he's hit 12 home runs with 34 RBIs. The 12 home runs are fourth in baseball among all rookies, and the 34 RBIs rank 12th. The 11 players ahead of him have all played twice as many games, with some nearly three times as many. BTW, he's hitting .229 with 44 strikeouts in 41 games (28% K-Rate, 7% BB-Rate) with a poor chase rate.5.What does going 4 for 15 in your first four professional games get you? An 8-year, $67 million contract. That's what Samuel Basallo signed on Friday. It's a deal similar to what Jackson Chourio signed before the start of the 2024 (8-year, $87 million or 30% more). A good deal of the Orioles? What about Basallo?a.Now that he should be up for good (although Kristian Campbell might disagree), how do the Orioles use him? b.Does he get enough at-bats at catcher to retain eligibility this season or at least get it in April of 2026?c.Would the Orioles consider trading Adley Rutschman?
