From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat have eyes on the next steps for the Blue Jays since it could affect the Red Sox. Will Toronto spend big for Kyle Tucker leaving Bo Bichette to find a new home? Also, the Red Sox could become a likely destination, but would have to decide between him or Alex Breman. Speaking of, more is coming out about just how aggressive the Sox offer is for Bregman which indicates they'll go big to bring Breggy back.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are all finally in the same time zone to discuss the shocking signing of Kazuma Okamoto to the Blue Jays. What does this do for Toronto and more importantly the Red Sox for the rest of the offseason? Then, even though they haven't made any signings, the Sox have added almost the same amount of players as the Jays, but one definitely feels better than the other. And, Alex Bregman seemingly has an "aggressive" offer from the Sox, but if that report is leaked from Boston's end then who knows how aggressive the offer really is.

Time to take a look back at 2025 - a year Nat calls 'three thirds' (great start, fell off a cliff, optimistic end) while Kristen just found it grindy. They talk about couch patches and perimenopause energy crashes, the weirdness of starting a business during an economic downturn, and how Kristen got unexpectedly obsessed with the Blue Jays making the World Series while in Canada. Plus: letting go of expectations (about yourself and others), why moving your body for joy beats any gym routine, and rating 2025 a solid six out of ten - because honestly, it was hard, but there were wins worth celebrating! Loved it?

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open Tuesday's show by recapping the Raptors' 118-100 win over the Hawks. They break down the team's uneven effort of late, Collin Murray-Boyles' rookie impact, RJ Barrett's lineup fit when healthy, and some broader roster dynamics in Jakob Poeltl's absence. They also discuss concerns around Immanuel Quickley, the point guard rotation, and reports that Atlanta may move on from Trae Young. What's his value around the NBA? Are the Raptors interested? After the break, they shift to the Blue Jays and react to Jim Bowden's report on the interest in Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker. Ben and Brent also get into the impact of signing Kazuma Okamoto, how the Jays infield could align, and which addition makes the most sense for the current roster.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.

Fenway Park - it is OLD, it is GREASY, and it IS our favorite ballpark. We cover a LOT of ground. Firstly, player signings like Paul DeJong to the Yankees (hilarious) and Kazuma Okamoto to the Blue Jays (and what that means of the likelihood of a Bregman reunion??). We also cover how the current events in Venezuela might affect the baseball climate. The WBC might be a little tense. The Red Sox also have multiple players from Venezuela signed to the team. The events in Venezuela affect MLB and all baseball players. And THEN our favorite things about Fenway. Like I said - we cover a lot of ground!

In this special bonus episode of Deep Left Field, we take an in-depth look at the Blue Jays first real foray into the Pacific Rim, the signing of six-time NPB all-star Kazuma Okamoto to a four-year, $60 million (US) contract. Who is Okamoto and what does he bring? How does his signing affect the Jays' roster - who goes where? And, of course, what about Bo Bichette? The answers to all these questions, plus a dip into the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca, are all here for you on our first special bonus episode of 2026!

The Blue Jays have officially announced their signing of six-time NPB All-Star Kazuma Okamoto to a four-year, $60 million deal! Jeff Blair (3:30) stops by Sportsnet Today with Sho Alli and Zack Bodenstein to break down the signing, and what it means for the Blue Jays going forward from an alignment perspective and in free agency. Plus, what is the landscape of MLB as the off-season continues? Afterwards, Yahoo Sports' Jordan Shusterman (17:52) joins for a deeper dive on Okamoto's play in NPB and how that will transition to MLB, and what it means for the Jays now that they have made a big splash in the international signing market. Jordan's piece on Okamoto: https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/blue-jays-finally-land-a-japanese-star-with-kazuma-okamoto--but-where-does-he-fit-on-the-roster-235314924.html 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.

Alanna Rizzo and Clint Pasillas discuss the latest trade news and free agency rumors surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers!

Or are Emmet Sheehan, Gavin Stone, Roki Sasaki and others enough to fill out the fifth and sixth starter spots? (12:59) With the Blue Jays signing NPB star Kazuma Okamoto, could Bo Bichette be more in play for LA? Alanna and Clint discuss!

Send us a textWhile Bregman, Bellinger, Tucker, and Valdez wait for some team to pull the trigger and sign them, two more Japanese League players - Imai and Okamoto signed with the Astros and Blue Jays respectively.  Baseball WAR scores are not adjusted for when players played. But that does not acknowledge what really happened. Before baseball was integrated, and before international players became integral, the player pool was smaller and thus a replacement player was not as able. We talk about some of the weird records set in the 2025 season.

Episode 128 of Tablesetters is a mini reaction pod focused on a pivotal stretch of the offseason where one signing, one trade market, and one free agent begin to reshape how teams are positioning themselves for 2026. We open in Toronto, where the Blue Jays officially make their long-anticipated breakthrough in the Japanese market by signing Kazuma Okamoto to a four-year, $60 million contract just ahead of the expiration of his 45-day posting window. The deal is a straight four-year agreement with no opt-outs, structured as a $5 million signing bonus, a $7 million salary in 2026, and $16 million salaries in each of the final three seasons, with Okamoto represented by the Boras Corporation. To create a 40-man roster spot, Toronto designated right-hander Paxton Schultz for assignment. MLB Trade Rumors ranked Okamoto 19th on its top 50 free agents list and projected a four-year, $64 million deal, putting the final terms right in line with expectations. The signing also triggers a $10.875 million posting fee to the Yomiuri Giants under the NPB–MLB posting system. From there, we break down what Okamoto's arrival does to the Blue Jays' roster construction. The 29-year-old projects as Toronto's regular third baseman, while also bringing experience at first base and in the outfield. His versatility creates ripple effects across the lineup, including a likely platoon with Addison Barger at third base, more consistent second base work for Ernie Clement, and a positional shift that moves Andrés Giménez from second base to everyday shortstop. We also examine how the picture changes if Bo Bichette re-signs, and how crowded things could become if Toronto lands another rumored target like Kyle Tucker. The signing adds another layer to an offseason for a Blue Jays team that came within two outs of winning Game 7 of the World Series, following earlier pitching additions like Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, and Tyler Rogers. It also effectively closes the door on pursuits of Alex Bregman and Yoán Moncada unless Toronto makes the unconventional decision to deploy Okamoto primarily in the outfield. Next, we shift to the trade market, where Edward Cabrera has emerged as one of the most consequential arms potentially available. The Yankees are actively engaged in discussions with the Marlins while also remaining involved on Freddy Peralta, with the Mets and Cubs also expressing interest in Cabrera. We break down why Cabrera's 2025 season, his power profile, his remaining club control through 2028, and his projected $3.7 million arbitration salary make him such an attractive target. We also examine the injury concerns that complicate his value, the Yankees' urgent rotation needs with Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón set to open the year on the injured list, and why Cabrera's affordability matters for both New York and Chicago as they juggle payroll, roster needs, and other offensive pursuits. For the Mets, we look at how their rotation has remained largely untouched despite major position-player turnover, and why their collection of young infield talent could factor into any serious push for pitching. We close with the expanding market for Cody Bellinger, as the Cubs check in and join a group that already includes the Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Mets, Angels, Blue Jays, and Phillies at various points this offseason. We discuss why Chicago's interest reads as due diligence rather than a clear pivot, how Bellinger fits their roster, and why prospect timelines complicate any reunion. From there, we focus on the Yankees, where Bellinger remains the top offseason priority and negotiations have escalated to a second formal offer. We break down the roster logjam his return would create, how it impacts Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones, and why a Bellinger deal could directly intersect with New York's pursuit of Edward Cabrera. Steve and Devin connect the dots across international markets, trade leverage, payroll pressure, and roster math, focusing less on headlines and more on what these developments reveal about how teams believe they need to be built to win in 2026. ⚾️ One signing changes the board, trade talks gain momentum, and leverage begins to shift.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning wrap up the morning with MLB Network insider Jon Morosi. They discuss his insights from the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships and whether Americans are as concerned about their hockey program as Canadians after disappointing results. Next, they dive into the recent signing of Blue Jays player Kazuma Okamoto—what can fans expect, and does it impact the futures of Tucker and Bo Bichette? After the break, they chat with the host of the “Straight Facts Homie” Podcast about NFL week 18 (28:45). They touch on the Steelers winning the AFC North, expectations for the Ravens, possible changes in Baltimore, Aaron Rodgers' future in Pittsburgh, intriguing playoff matchups, and whether the Packers should be favored over the Bears.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 affiliate.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off Monday by celebrating Auston Matthews breaking the Leafs' franchise goal record. They discuss the impact of this achievement on past playoff disappointments, whether Matthews can regain his previous form, and what his age means for his prime years. They also analyze Morgan Rielly's recent play and the implications of Tanev's potential long-term absence. The conversation shifts to the Blue Jays' signing of Kazuma Okamoto and its effects on their roster strategy. After the break, they address Canada's loss to Czechia at the IIHF World Junior Championships and whether it reflects a larger problem for Hockey Canada. Finally, they wrap up by evaluating the Steelers' win against the Ravens and if winning the AFC North justifies the Rodgers partnership (33:19).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 affiliate.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Anthony Kay has had quite a baseball journey, living the life as a first-round pick with the Mets before being dealt at the 2019 trade deadline to Toronto. After a few years with the Blue Jays, the pitcher had stints with the Cubs and again in the Mets organization before taking his talents to Japan. It was overseas that Kay saw his career take off, leading to a newly signed, two-year deal with the White Sox. Kay joins Bradfo and Courtney Finnicum ('Pitch and Moan') to talk about what led him back to Major League Baseball, his impressions on some noteworthy players he played with and against in Japan, and why the White Sox were the best fit. There is also Kay's video game goal for the next three months.
