The Major League Baseball playoffs started this week and the Mariners, once again, did not take the field. But this year, that’s actually a good thing. Your Seattle Mariners finished on top of their division for the first time in nearly a quarter century and have a first round bye in the playoffs. The team’s first ALDS game is Saturday. It has been an absolute rollercoaster of a season. Cal Raleigh led the charge and put up an impressive 60 home runs in the regular season. He’s one of the favorites to win the American League MVP. The M’s have had a few new faces join the team, notably trade deadline acquisition Josh Naylor, and the vibe got a shot in the arm as the team brought Geno Suarez back… The last time the Seattle Mariners won the American League West pennant, Ichiro was in his rookie year, the team won 116 games, and a guy named Dan Wilson was the catcher. Dan Wilson is NOW the Manager of the M’s, and he’s led the team to their first AL West championship since 2001. He sat down with Soundside host Libby Denkmann Thursday morning.

Sal and BT dove headfirst into the heated American League MVP debate, pitting the Yankees' Aaron Judge against the Mariners' Cal Raleigh. Sal argued passionately for Raleigh, asserting he is the Most Valuable Player due to his historic 58 home runs as a catcher and his impact in leading the Mariners to a division title after a 24-year drought; Sal claimed the Yankees would still be a playoff team without Judge. BT countered by focusing on the superior overall numbers, citing Judge's overwhelming lead in rate stats like OPS ($1.100+ to Raleigh's .948) and superior WAR (9.2 fWAR to 8.8 fWAR), arguing that Judge is simply the Best Player, and that positional difficulty or team narrative shouldn't outweigh his statistical dominance. The debate intensified over the definition of "valuable" and whether voters prioritize all-around performance or an incredible, history-making single-season feat.

Time once again to chat about this past week in Yankees baseball. The team is looking much better, granted they're playing teams that aren't that "good" but they still need to win the games and so far, for the most part they are. Bullpen has looked better, at least some of the guys, they're scoring runs and playing better baseball.Had to chime in on the A.L. MVP race which really isn't a race but that's what they want you to think. The "experts" say that it's between Judge and Raleigh but it's really not as close as they want you to think it is. I'll talk about that, break down some stats and also give my thought on hearing about "Aaron Judge fatigue".Hope you enjoy the show!I talk a little bit at the end of the show about 9Strap Technology.

Send us a textAlex Rodriguez is not only one of the greatest players in Major League Baseball history, 22 seasons, 14 All-Star selections, and three American League MVP award, but also the founder and CEO of A-Rod Corp. Through A-Rod Corp, he has built a diversified platform across three pillars: sports, real estate, and venture capital. His portfolio spans ownership of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx, more than $2 billion invested in multifamily and other real estate, and over 60 venture investments in technology, fitness, media, and consumer brands.In this episode, Rodriguez explains how his interest in investing began at a young age, shaped by both his upbringing and the hard data he studied about professional baseball careers. Growing up in a single-parent household, he watched his mother juggle two jobs to make ends meet, which instilled in him both a fear of financial insecurity and a drive to build long-term stability. He breaks down how he approaches each asset class, from viewing team ownership as a long-duration, low-leverage asset, to focusing on levered cash flows in real estate, to applying his “VCP” filter, Vision, Capital, People, for venture investments. He also shares the story of setting the then-record $252 million contract with the Texas Rangers in 2001 and how Warren Buffett personally insured the final years of that deal.Finally he  talks about the importance of investing early and often, lessons he instilled in his daughters when they were in elementary school, and why it's so important to invest early and often. It's a conversation that connects the mindset of an elite athlete with the discipline of a savvy investor.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE For 20% off Deleteme, use the code TWSS or click the link HERE!

BT argued that the American League MVP race is not the foregone conclusion many believe, especially with the surge of Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh. While acknowledging Aaron Judge's impressive numbers, BT highlighted that Raleigh has surpassed Judge in home runs and RBIs, and their team records are nearly identical. He stated that the MVP award is not just about who has the best overall stats but who is most valuable to their team, and with Raleigh's incredible offensive production from a premium defensive position, he makes a very compelling case for the award.

This week's biopic is on the greatest player in Brewers history, Robin Yount. Robin played on the competitive edge, and left everything on the field during his 20 year playing career. In fact, Yount left it all over the field, winning the American League MVP, at two different positions, 6 years apart. Drafted by the Brewers with the third overall pick in the 1973 Amateur MLB Draft, Yount makes his big-league debut at the age of 18, on Opening Day of 1974, as the Brewers starting Shortstop, and establishing himself as the new breed of power-hitting Shortstops that is so prevalent in the game today, before having a career threatening arm surgery and becoming a fleet-footed, sure-handed Center Fielder. #RobinYount #MilwaukeeBrewers #LarryYount #TaftCharterHighSchool #GeorgeBamberger #HarveyKuenn #PaulMolitor #CecilCooper #GormanThomas #BenOgilive #BJSurhoff #AmericanLeagueMVP #CountyStadium #GordonGoldsberry #DavidClyde #DavidStearns

Last season Jackson Holliday was the favorite to win American League MVP. Will that come to fruition a year later? Rich Dubroff joined Bob and Vinny to talk about the second baseman's development.

One of the top players in MLB, Royals SS Bobby Witt Jr is this week's guest, and you don't want to miss it. In 2024, Bobby was the runner-up in the American League MVP voting, posting incredible offensive numbers and winning a Gold Glove at shortstop for the Kansas City Royals in only his third big-league season. Not long ago, Witt was playing travel and high school ball in Colleyville, Tx. The son of a MLB pitcher, Witt bucked current trends and never had a private hitting lesson until after high school, and instead of focusing on launch angles and hitting bombs (which he did plenty of), he focused on hitting the ball hard to all fields and eliminating strikeouts. Bobby shares some of his approach to hitting, his commitment to getting better which led to a Gold Glove in 2024, what his mom and dad taught him about character and humility, and much more.

Dan touches on Aaron Judge winning the American League MVP unanimously, talks about Daniel Jones comments this afternoon, and revisits how the Giants have screwed Jones up every step of the way, and how embarrassing it was today to see Jones go through his press conference.     Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to TableSetters, your go-to podcast for all things baseball! Steve and Devin are back, diving deep into the week's news, with Gerrit Cole going into business for himself and deciding to walk Rafael Devers on his own, which ultimately backfired this weekend for the Yanks' ace. We also discuss Francisco Lindor's back injury and how the Mets will respond to the news of his limited absence.  Buckle up as we discuss the significant loss for the season with Tyler Glasnow's elbow injury, which will keep him out for the rest of the season. We'll also delve into the Dodgers' pitching woes and how it may affect their October goals. Dave Roberts did not rule out Ohtani potentially pitching during the postseason. What will that mean for Los Angeles? But that's just the tip of the iceberg, folks. We discuss the Orioles' performance, which has been on a downward spiral since the 4th of July. Their numbers are troubling and could be a key factor in their future. Can they turn it back on or did their inactivity during the Trade Deadline sink their hopes? We also dive into Shohei Ohtani's chase for 50-50 and Bobby Witt Jr's case for the American League MVP. He became only the second shortstop in MLB history to record multiple 30-30 seasons. We are witnessing special moments all throughout the league. We get into so much more, so dive in and give us your feedback!

Why Stephen Vogt has had the right touch; What Terry saw in the Browns offense during the win in Jacksonville; Can the Browns get Deshaun Watson to be at his best, and stay in the pocket?

- Harry Wismer- Jackie JensenIn this 1958 radio interview, listeners get a rare glimpse into the thoughts and experiences of Jackie Jensen, one of baseball's most prominent figures during the 1950s. Jensen, a right fielder for the Boston Red Sox, was coming off an impressive season in 1957 where he led the American League in RBIs with 116. Known for his powerful bat and strong defensive skills, Jensen was a dual-sport star, having also excelled in football at the University of California. By 1958, he was firmly established as one of the league's premier players, and this interview captures him at the height of his career, just a year before he would win the American League MVP award.During this period, baseball was evolving both on and off the field, with radio still being a primary medium for fans to connect with their favorite players. Jensen's insights offer a window into the mindset of an elite athlete of the era, providing context to the challenges and expectations faced by a player who was expected to lead his team offensively. His reflections in this clip are particularly valuable for understanding the pressures and demands of professional sports in the late 1950s, a time when media coverage was becoming increasingly critical in shaping public perception of athletes.#JackieJensen #1950sBaseball #BostonRedSox #RadioInterview #BaseballHistory
