On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers resolved all but one salary arbitration case, and exchanged figures with reliever Alex Vesia. The team avoided arbitration with four pitchers by signing one-year deals for Michael Kopech, Evan Phillips, Brusdar Graterol, and Anthony Banda. We dug into the salary figures exchanged by Vesia and the team, plus the Dodgers history in salary arbitration. Catcher Diego Cartaya, who was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on January 3, was traded on January 9 to the Twins for minor league right-hander Jose Vasquez.

2024 National League Championship Series Games Three, Four, and Five @ Citi Field - Queens, New York, NY  Game Six @ Dodger Stadium - Los Angeles, CA Heading to New York, the series is tied at a game apiece. The Dodgers pummeled the Met in game one, but the Mets responded with a 7-3 win behind a leadoff Francisco Lindor homer and a Mark Vientos grand slam. The fans at Citi Field is raring to cheer on their beloved Mets, but the Dodgers big bats will look to silence the raucous crowd early. Shohei Ohtani has yet to have a hit with the bases empty, but he's doing plenty of damage with runners on base. Dating back to the regular season, he is 16 for his last 19 with runners in scoring position… that's just absurd. Mookie Betts and Max Muncy continue to swing hot bats, and with Freddie Freeman hobbled with an ankle injury, it will be Tommy Edman of all people stepping into the cleanup spot. This is a deep lineup that grinds out at bat after at bat, exhausting their opposing pitchers and forcing mistakes. The pitching plan is always a bit nebulous for manager Dave Roberts, who lacks reliable starting pitching, but has numerous quality options out of the pen. Evan Phillips, Blake Treinen, Michael Kopech, Anthony Banda, and others have strung together zeroes across multiple games, though they will need at least something from their starters. Buehler will get the ball in game three, Yamamoto in game four, Flaherty in game five, and likely a bullpen game if it gets to six back in LA. It will take a team effort to bring the Dodgers back to the World Series, and these guys will live up to that task. The Mets are feeling good heading into game three, as they should on this magical run they've been on. Carlos Mendoza will send Luis Severino to the mound for game three, then José Quintana for game four, and likely David Peterson for game five. If they can extend the series, they will be quite confident with their ace Sean Manaea on the hill, with either a shot to clinch the series or force a decisive game seven. But if the Mets aim to win this thing, the bats are gonna need to step up. Apart from the six run outburst early in game two, the Mets have been befuddled by the Dodger bullpen (just like San Diego). With a trip to the World Series on the line, we shall see whether the Mets will continue to conjure up playoff magic, or if the Dodgers can find a way to break it.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we dig into Shohei Ohtani, who is the third Dodgers player ever with 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in a season. Ohtani is the first primary DH in MLB history with a 30-30 season, and he tied Jose Canseco among all 30-30 seasons as the fourth-fastest to reach the milestone, at just 111 team games into the season. We take a look at how high Ohtani's numbers might go. Also, Anthony Banda joined the save club, the 10th different Dodger to record a save in 2024. We look back at recent LA history with obscure game savers. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network. Hosted by Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch, with questions from Craig Minami.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 3-1 loss to the Royals at Rogers Centre. They take your calls, and dissect the offensive performance from the top five Jays hitters against a Royals pitcher who has spent the majority of his time pitching in Double A. They get to the quality of the ABs, and discuss what they like and dislike about the new batting order. Plus, they break down what they saw from Kevin Gausman, the approach at the plate from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and hear the explanation from John Schneider on why Anthony Banda was used in high leverage. 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.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back on the Blue Jays' 8-3 loss in Seattle to kick off the 4-game series. They discuss Anthony Banda and Casey Lawrence's performance on the mound and the Jays' need to add arms to their pitching staff. After the break, the guys break down Charlie Montoyo's ideal bullpen deployment and look ahead to Friday's game in Seattle with Ross Stripling on the bump (31:20). 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.

Greg and Josh discuss the struggling Blue Jays from the starters not giving length, a set of middle relievers not keeping games close and an overall underperforming offence. They also talk about Lourdes Gurriel's continued surge, the welcome return of Yimí García, Vlad and Kirk making the All-Star game and the Band-Aid solutions of Sergio Romo and Anthony Banda to the bullpen. They also answer listener questions and give out a couple of Gold Stars.

Sho Alli breaks down the Blue Jays' 8-3 loss to the Mariners to begin the four-game series in Seattle. He takes your texts, and gets straight to the decision to have Anthony Banda be the opener for Casey Lawrence - why not Max Castillo? He discusses the three innings of relief work from Castillo, and how despite being saved for an emergency start on Sunday (if Kevin Gausman can't go after all), the whole weekend of relief work has now been tossed into disarray. Plus, a discussion on Vladimir Guerrero Jr. powering down after scoring Bo Bichette with the RBI single in the third inning - should he have run it out? 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.

Mitch Keller Day is officially back to being a thing as he hasn't given up more than 2 runs in any start since incorporating the 2-seamer. Today's start wasn't any different. There was something else a bit different that he incorporated tonight that Tyler & DiNardo are even more bullish on. Though Michael Chavis capitalized on a 5th inning changeup by Zack Thompson that lead to a Pirates a 5-0 lead, it wasn't enough to give the Pirates the win. Was Keller taken out too early? Should the correct decision have been to go with Yerry De La Santos over Anthony Banda? Let's talk these decisions as well and the roster moves made today.

Wow...we'll call this a 'Wilpon Week' because the vibes are down on the episode. We start out with a Trade Deadline recap. Javy Baez and Trevor Williams are Mets while Pete Crow-Armstrong is headed to Chicago. There were tons of strange and unexpected things that happened on deadline day and we break it all down for you. Then, the games. The guys were in attendance Friday and Sunday and might have just whole jinxed the team (really James is the jinx but you'll hear more about that). This series was so bad it broke our brains and you will listen to us try and figure out who the Mets played last weekend. No, really. After we rant about Anthony Banda, Geoff Hartleib, Michael Conforto, and Luis Rojas, we break down the Kumar Rocker situation. What went wrong here, and why WE think the Mets may have made the right call. The episode ends with our Marlins Preview and a teaser for potentially the FIRST EVER METS'D UP GUEST NEXT WEEK. Packed episode! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the Giants not making any major moves at the 2020 MLB Trade Deadline. After the Giants made five trades on deadline day last year, fans may have expected another flurry of activity for the retooling Giants. But there was no such flurry this year, as the Giants' only trade involved the recently DFA'd left-handed pitcher Anthony Banda, who will report to Sacramento. The Giants' inactivity made a lot of sense, however, for many reasons. First of all, this is an extremely weird season caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Giants figured to be involved in the rental market, potentially trading away short-term assets and seeking to also acquire short-term assets. But the rental market seemed particularly slow this year, with several players who seemed like candidates to be traded staying put. This was likely because teams were simply not willing to give up much of consequence for a player who would only be with them for one month (there's usually two months left after the deadline). Playoff teams also have to make it through a new best-of-three postseason round before advancing to a best-of-five, and there's always the threat that the virus could shut down the season. What's more, some may view this season's champion as illegitimate because of the shortened season. So, at the end of the day, the Giants, who are close to playoff position thanks to the expanded postseason, did not have any reason to "sell" short-term assets like Kevin Gausman and Tony Watson, unless they received substantial offers that likely just did not exist. Likewise, the Giants figured to be active in the short-term buying market (e.g., for players like Jackie Bradley Jr.), but they probably weren't willing to give up much of consequence for 24 games of a simply decent player. All that led to a deadline that had some excitement but was much slower than usual. Ultimately, this was to be expected and that's exactly how it played out. Now the Giants, who won two of three against the D-backs over the weekend, will continue the season with their roster intact, chasing an unlikely spot in the playoffs. Per FanGraphs, their odds of making the postseason stand at 39%. PostmatesFor a limited time, Postmates is giving our listeners ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS of free delivery credit for your first SEVEN days.

Tampa Bay Rays Columnist Marc Topkin stopped by to chat about the guys being swept in Seattle, Snell's pitching gem against the Mariners tying history, & how the hell Kevin Cash is going to deal w/ all these injuries to Chris Archer, Anthony Banda, & CJ Cron!

The Lightning get goals from their 4 all-stars Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, Victor Hedman and Brayden Point to lead them to a 4-2 victory over the Capitals in Game 3 to make this a series. Andrei Vasilevskiy was fantastic in net and the penalty kill was tremendous too. The Rays win again in Kansas City this time behind Anthony Banda who pitched 5 innings tonight in his Rays debut.
