Is this the big move of the Cardinals' offseason? This morning the Cardinals announced the signing of Sonny Gray! Gray finished second in the 2023 American League Cy Young voting and will likely headline the Cardinals rotation in 2024. After months of rumors and discussions about the rotation, Sonny Gray is finally a St. Louis Cardinal. It's not an Ohtani party, but it's surely a Sonny Gray party! We're thrilled about this signing, but what happens next? Will the Cardinals still target Japanese ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto, or will they move to trades? Rumors of Tyler O'Neill and Dylan Carlson have already heated up and both could bring back good pitching returns.

As we continue our ode to the 30 years of the Vs. tour this November, we're stopping at a show that's known for both what happened during the concert, and then what happened in the aftermath. The show is an unforgettable night from this tour highlighted by a very early rendition of Crazy Mary in which original songwriter, Victoria Williams, joins them to play guitar and sing, and long-time Pearl Jam producer, Brendan O'Brien, is called upon to play the B3. It's a moment that's etched in history, but perhaps gets overshadowed by the events that took place the following night. After a dispute with a fan in a New Orleans bar, Eddie Vedder was arrested for public drunkenness and disturbing the peace after spitting in the man's face. We'll take the early portion of the episode to discuss about the incident as we'll invite the 1993 American League Cy Young award winner, Jack McDowell, onto the show, who was there during the occurrence. We'll talk to Jack about his relationship with Eddie and how they met through their ex-wives, how Pearl Jam got his band V.I.E.W. bumped off a gig at CBGB's, how he and Ed convinced TV reporters that Ed was a White Sox call-up, and of course the New Orleans situation. Get to hear what he thought of the whole ordeal and how his night ended up after getting into it with the friend of the agitator that Ed had to deal with. There was only so much time that we had to share of his interview in this episode, but check out Patreon this week for the director's cut of the interview featuring stories about his band's V.I.E.W. and stickfigure, Pearl Jam's relationship with baseball and his current frustrations with baseball analytics that he likes to write songs about. As for the show, there are excellent performances that we'll get to dig into from Why Go, Footsteps, Porch, Rats, Blood and of course, Crazy Mary. We'll also discuss Release being an OTOTO Daughter tag and a wild sequence that featured Ed singing lyrics from Michael Jackson song "Ben" into a fierce, unrelenting rendition of Blood. Our Gear Guru segments this week will focus on some of the slide guitar features of Rats, and of course, the contrast of this version of Crazy Mary compared to what we know of it now.

The New York Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-0 behind a strong pitching performance by American League Cy Young frontrunner Gerrit Cole, who pitched a two-hit, complete game in the Rogers Centre to finish his 2023 season with a 2.63 ERA. It's the time a Yankees pitcher has led the American League in ERA since Rudy May in 1980. And on the offensive side, Aaron Judge had another two home-run performance in Toronto (he also had an infamous one in May) to help lead the Yankees to victory. It is interesting that the two best players on the team combined forces to get a big win to get the Yankees to 81 wins, which guarantees at least a .500 season. It also guarantees a season series win over the Blue Jays. Then, they discuss Bob Klapisch's article about the Yankees ‘audit that will be happening in the offseason. (link is down below) The Yankees have hired an outside company to audit their processes—everything from trades to international draft picks, scouting, and the minor leagues. Should be interesting what they find but Steve and Stacey discuss what they think about the audit and if it will actually do anything to change things. Then they preview the series' final game in Toronto between Luke Weaver and Chris Bassitt. Yankees audit details article: https://www.nj.com/yankees/2023/09/as-yankees-season-winds-down-massive-changes-are-coming-klapisch.htmlJoin our subtext! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonyankeesWhat is subtext? https://youtu.be/BItWi-kbIJY?t=1468Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH5857VCyYLAzsWr9vHk4sQFollow Stacey On Twitter: https://twitter.com/StaceGotsSubscribe to Steve's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@stevegranadoFollow Steve On Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveGranadoFollow the Show On Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnYankeesSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!NutrafolTake the first step to visibly thicker, healthier hair.

Even a bullpen meltdown that resulted in a 10-8 loss couldn't kill the vibes from what was an excellent weekend of baseball in Toronto.We talked about the series with Seattle, Teoscar Hernández's performance in his return to Toronto, and the warm reception he was given from fans when he hit a home run. We also talked about Kevin Gausman being in the early conversation for the American League Cy Young and the performance of the bullpen lately.After that, we took a look ahead at the upcoming series in Boston with the Red Sox, a team that the Blue Jays beat in 16 of 19 games last year. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Chicago White Sox 5, Minnesota Twins 4 Chicago Cubs 3, Seattle Mariners 2 – 10 Innings Tigers were off White Sox 5, Twins 4 – White Sox lose Anderson but hold on to beat Twins 4-3 Hanser Alberto hit a three-run homer, Dylan Cease had another strong outing against the Minnesota Twins and the Chicago White Sox held on to beat Minnesota 4-3. Chicago had to remove shortstop Tim Anderson in the sixth inning with left knee soreness after he collided with a baserunner. Cease, the American League Cy Young runner-up last season, gave up three runs but only one was earned after three errors by the White Sox. Cease allowed three hits with six strikeouts in five innings. Kenta Maeda surrendered four runs on eight hits in six innings for Minnesota. Cubs 3, Mariners 2 – F/10 – Hoerner’s single in 10th inning lifts Cubs past Mariners 3-2 Nico Hoerner’s soft single off Matt Brash with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning scored pinch-runner Nick Madrigal and gave the Chicago Cubs a 3-2 win over the Seattle Mariners. Jarred Kelenic hit a game-tying home run off closer Michael Fulmer with one out in the ninth that wiped out a sterling performance from Cubs left-hander Drew Smyly. Smyly pitched five innings of two-hit ball and struck out seven. Cubs center fielder Cody Bellinger fouled off four consecutive pitches before hitting a game-tying double in the fourth to snap Luis Castillo’s scoreless streak at 14 2/3 innings. Eric Hosmer followed later with an opposite-field single to left that scored Bellinger. Hosmer is 12 for 18 lifetime against Castillo.

The White Sox designated the 28-year-old Ruiz for assignment following a difficult start to the season. Ruiz allowed nine runs on eight hits with four walks and three strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings across four appearances for Chicago. Ruiz spent five-plus with the White Sox, who claimed him off waivers from San Diego in December 2017. Ruiz went 3-7 with a 4.53 ERA in 177 appearances for Chicago. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Dallas Stars 6, Detroit Red Wings 1 Minnesota Wild 4, Chicago Blackhawks 2 Stars 6, Red Wings 1 – Pavelski records 1,000th career point as Stars trounce Wings Joe Pavelski notched his 1,000th career point with a second-period goal, Roope Hintz had a goal and three assists and the Dallas Stars thumped the Detroit Red Wings 6-1 on Monday night. Pavelski, playing in his 1,248th game, became the 10th American-born player to reach the milestone when he tipped Miro Heiskanen’s shot from the point. The Stars, who have won four straight, tied idle Colorado for the Central Division lead with two games remaining. Jason Robertson supplied a goal and two assists. Esa Lindell, Ty Dellandrea and Jamie Benn also scored for the Stars. David Perron scored for the Red Wings, who were playing their home finale. Wild 4, Blackhawks 2 – Johansson helps Wild rally for 4-2 victory over Blackhawks Marcus Johansson scored two goals late in the third period, and the short-handed Minnesota Wild beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2. Matt Boldy and Gustav Nyquist also scored for Minnesota in its second consecutive win. Filip Gustavsson made 39 saves in his second straight start. Johansson’s 18th goal — a wrist shot on a 2-on-1 with 6 minutes left — tied it at 2. It was the Wild’s 14th short-handed goal of the season, breaking the franchise record. Johansson then put Minnesota in front when he got a nice pass from Boldy and beat Alex Stalock on the glove side with 3:13 left.

But it beats the alternative. There are 12 teams with playoff spots right now, 10 teams whose seasons are over and eight teams with a second chance. The play-in tournament starts Tuesday, with Atlanta going to Miami and Minnesota visiting the Los Angeles Lakers. The winners of those games will be going to the postseason. Oklahoma City goes to New Orleans and Chicago visits Toronto on Wednesday for elimination games. The winners there move on to face the loser of Tuesday’s games in another win-or-go-home contest. NBA – Pistons search for coach, hope to draft Victor Wembanyama The Detroit Pistons are searching for a coach and hoping their new leader has Victor Wembanyama in the lineup. Detroit closed its fourth straight season and 12th in 14 years without a postseason appearance on Sunday with a lopsided loss at Chicago. After finishing an NBA-worst 17-65, Dwane Casey announced he was stepping down with one year left on his coaching contract to accept a role in the Troy Weaver-led front office. Casey was hired by the Pistons in 2018 as the reigning NBA Coach of the Year led them to the playoffs in his first season with the franchise. WNBA – WNBA adding charter flights for playoffs, back-to-back games The WNBA is adding charter flights for the entire playoffs and back-to-back regular season games this year. The league announced Monday it will pay for all of the flights. The cost is expected to be around $4.5 million, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because details haven’t been publicly released. The league chartered for the WNBA Finals as well as for the road team in the Commissioner Cup championship game last year. As for Brittney Griner, the WNBA says it has plans for her travel but would like to keep them "confidential." WNBA – Boston heads to Fever as No. 1 pick in WNBA draft Aliyah Boston is the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, going to the Indiana Fever. It’s the first time that the Fever have had the top choice in the draft and they chose the South Carolina star. Boston, a three-time AP All-American who also was the Player of the Year as a junior, will solidify the post for Indiana. The Fever had the worst record in the league last season, going 5-31. Boston was one of four South Carolina players expected to be taken in the first two rounds of the draft. Minnesota took Diamond Miller with the No. 2 pick and Dallas drafted Maddy Siegrist with the third pick. NCAAMBB – Michigan State guard Tyson Walker returning for 5th season Michigan State standout Tyson Walker is returning for his fifth season. Walker announced his decision Monday with an Instagram post, giving a boost to coach Tom Izzo’s chances of contending for a title. The 6-foot-1 guard averaged a team-high 14.8 points and ranked second with nearly three assists per game. Walker attended Northeastern for two years before transferring and playing for the Spartans the past two seasons. He is eligible for a fifth season because the NCAA granted college athletes an extra year if they were enrolled two years ago when the COVID-19 pandemic began. Boxing – Shields to fight Gabriels in Detroit at Little Caesars Arena Claressa Shields will fight Hanna Gabriels for the women’s world middleweight championship on June 3, bringing boxing to Little Caesars Arena for the first time since it opened in 2017. DAZN will carry the match live and made the announcement. Shields headlines the card that will include up-and-coming fighters from the Motor City.
