The Los Angeles Dodgers won the trade deadline two days ago when they acquired two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal from the Tigers for Zyhir Hope, River Ryan, and Brady Smith. Today, the actual trade deadline came and went, and we were live for an hour before and 30 minutes after to break things down as the Dodgers acquired left-handed starting pitcher Kris Bubic, former Dodgers catchers Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia, and minor-league relief pitcher Jacob Kmatz in a few separate trades. The Feduccia/Kmatz trade was for Jack Suwinski, opening up a spot in the OKC outfield for either Josue De Paula or Mike Sirota to be promoted to Triple-A.

The Los Angeles Dodgers dropped another game to the Pirates on Thursday evening, completing a sweep at the hands of the NL Central's last-place team and the lowest-scoring team in MLB.

The Brewers were in Wrigley Field to take on the Cubs and old manager Craig Counsell, but by then the story of the week had been written. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss a turbulent Rays series featuring some controversial umpiring, a brawl, a debut for top prospect Tyler Black and Rickie Weeks as manager. Then came the Cubs series, a somewhat dispiriting series loss. Remembrew When and Curt Blanche are also discussing brawls before JR has an interview with rookie pitcher Tobias Myers (49:00) on his first couple appearances in the big leagues and a fascinating minor-league career arc. After that, it's Verona High School alumnus Ben Rortvedt (58:00), who started all three games for the Rays at American Family Field and has found a big-league footing after a litany of injuries sidetracked him. Musical cues (in order of use): "Strobes" by Epocha, "Ricketts Glenn" by Roy Williams and "Rock is Back" by Got Happy. Royalty-free music available at EpidemicSound.com. 

The Tampa Bay Rays have made final roster moves before Opening Day!-Austin Shenton has made the team-Naoyuki Uwasawa has been traded to the Boston Red Sox.-Ben Rortvedt , backup catcher for the New York Yankees has been acquired in a three-team trade with the Miami Marlins by sending OF Shane Sasaki to MIA.-Jake Odorizzi stays with the organization for now and will be re-evaluated after one more start.What are you most excited about for Opening Day?Is it a good idea to match up against the Toronto Blue Jays to start the season?Let us know what you think in the comments!Follow Kevin Weiss @KevinWeiss_Follow Ulises Sambrano @SambranoUlisesFollow the show @LockedOnRaysFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The New York Yankees are ready for Opening Day in Houston. Nestor Cortes will be facing off against Framber Valdez in a lefty/lefty matchup and Stacey previews the game. Plus, what's Stacey's ideal lineup for Opening Day? Well, there's more than one. There's 1A and 1B. Plus, the Yankees made a trade that helped them out in a couple of ways by alleviating the three catcher problem by shipping Ben Rortvedt to Tampa and by getting a proven infielder from the Marlins in Jon Berti. Stacey tells you all about him. Then, Stacey tells you where Fangraphs ranks the Yankees' starting rotation. The position may surprise you. And how is it possible that two players in the Yankees organization fractured orbital bones on the same day? And finally, former Yankee Jordan Montgomery finally signed with a team but Stacey finds everything about it fishy. From the contract itself to the team who finally did it. And why couldn't the Yankees offer him something similar to what the DBakcs ultimately gave Monty? Also. what gives this offseason with regard to free agency? Is it the C word? Perhaps. Join the LOY Insiders Club! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonyankees What is the insider's club? https://youtu.be/BItWi-kbIJY?t=1468 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH5857VCyYLAzsWr9vHk4sQ Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Amazon Fire TV Fire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

The New York Yankees are only two weeks away from the start of the 2024 season, and many questions need to be answered. That's why we have Fanmail Friday! (Note: this was recorded and edited BEFORE the news about Gerrit Cole came out on Thursday night) Among the questions asked in this week's edition: Jose Trevino and Austin Wells seem to be the top two catchers so what about Ben Rortvedt? Is there a Yankees tax on trades? Will they trade for Jesus Luzardo? What do you make of the rumors about the Yankees and Michael Lorenzen? Should the Yankees take a flier on the pitcher no one wants? Which prospects have the best chance to impact 2024? Is there something to a guy being too hot at the wrong time? How would we rank the starting pitching staff so far in Spring Training? Does Bernie Williams belong in the Hall of Fame? And who is primed for a comeback and who will experience a regression or fall off in 2024? Join the LOY Insiders Club! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonyankees What is the insider's club? https://youtu.be/BItWi-kbIJY?t=1468 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH5857VCyYLAzsWr9vHk4sQ Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Factor Meals Head to FactorMeals.com/lockedonmlb50 and use code lockedonmlb50 to get 50% off. Amazon Fire TV Fire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

The New York Yankees were no doubt disappointed in the performance of Giancarlo Stanton in 2023—so was Stanton. He reported to camp noticeably thinner, hoping for a resurgence in 2024, but how realistic is it to expect? Stacey and Steve discuss their expectations when it comes to Stanton. Spoiler alert: They're in opposite camps. Next, Austin Wells made it to Spring Training fully healthy, unlike in 2023, when he missed it and missed most of the month of April because of a broken rib. Stacey and Steve talk about the chances Wells has to leapfrog over Ben Rortvedt in the depth chart and how practical it is to think Wells will start the season with the Yankees. Then there are some updates from camp, like Jasson Dominguez possibly returning sooner than expected, and the Spring Training rotation is set for the first set of games this weekend. Can you believe it? And finally, MLB.tv will be renewing soon, and there are some updates you should know about. Stanton Article: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39558048/yankees-giancarlo-stanton-turns-page-career-worst-seasonWells Article (PAID): https://theathletic.com/5282667/2024/02/18/yankees-austin-wells-catcher/Join the LOY Insiders Club! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonyankeesWhat is the insider's club? 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!BackblazeReceive a fully-featured no risk free trial at Backblaze.com/lockedonmlb.

The New York Yankees are heading to Tampa for Spring Training this week. Pitchers and catchers report on Thursday, February 15, and Stacey and Steve reveal six things to look out for from those pitchers and catchers in February and March. From the health of Carlos Rodon and Nestor Cortes to Gerrit Cole's newest pitch and the possible ‘battle' between Cortes and Marcus Stroman for the #3 spot in the rotation, what should you look for once the games begin? Also, what about the backup-catching battle that will seemingly happen between Ben Rortvedt and Austin Wells? And does Ben Rice factor into this? Then Stacey and Steve rant a bit about the lull in free agency. Why aren't top free agents like Cody Bellinger, Blake Snell, and Jordan Montgomery, among others, still looking for a place to play when teams are beginning to report to camp? And didn't the new CBA after the lockout take care of this problem? Join the LOY Insiders Club! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonyankeesWhat is the insider's club? 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!eBay MotorsWith all the parts you need at the prices you want, it's easy to turn your car into the MVP and bring home that win.
