Evan and Bob discuss the biggest storyline of the 2025-26 offseason: Will the Detroit Tigers trade Tarik Skubal, and if not, where will the back-to-back American League Cy Young winner sign after the 2026 season — with 10 years, $450 million as the expectation? Do the Tigers have a chance to sign Alex Bregman if his market collapses again, or is he destined to return to the Boston Red Sox, even on another short-term contract? At the Winter Meetings, Kyle Schwarber signed with the Philadelphia Phillies, Edwin Díaz signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pete Alonso signed with the Baltimore Orioles. What happens to free-agent position players such as Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, Bo Bichette, and what about free-agent pitchers like Framber Valdez, Tatsuya Imai and Ranger Suarez? For more on the Tigers, Evan and Bob discuss the chances of the Tigers winning the AL Central in 2026 — and what moves the Tigers need to have a chance to win the World Series.

Do a lot of things really happen every year at baseball's winter meetings or do we just think it because we remember anything that happens in the weeks that follow as happening at the meetings? David Brown is here to talk about that, plus Kyle Schwarber, Zac Gallen, Cody Bellinger, Edward Cabrera, Bo Bichette and more. The guys incorrectly predict where Pete Alonso would sign, they propose an alternate spelling for MacKenzie Gore, make fun of all the Roch's in baseball these days, and Dave is not swayed by Andy's new pinch runner rule. All that, and more.
Day 2 of the 2025 Winter Meetings and the Boston Red Sox rumor mill is SWIRLING. You name 'em, we want 'em. The Red Sox have been connected to Ketel Marte, Isaac Paredes, Bo Bichette, Corey Seager, to name a few. Somehow, the Red Sox ended up with enough young, controllable starting pitching to feed families from Texas to Arizona. Our sweet bonk boy Kyle Schwarber signed today with the Philadelphia Phillies. Who wouldn't have loved that 50 home run power in Boston. Alas, with Pete Alonso, we persevere. We did make a signing today! Alec Gomboa, the Gomboa Constrictor(TM). Fresh from the KBO. Let's talk about it. Linktree NASP Instagram NASP Twitter Ian's Twitter Jack's Twitter Jack's Twitter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

BT & Sal blast the Yankees for their glacial pace this offseason, with Tierney describing the Yankees Hot Stove show as a cure for insomnia. The hosts mock GM Brian Cashman's vague Winter Meetings update that deals have been "tough so far," contrasting his comments about the "aggressive" Dodgers to the Yankees' own timid approach. The discussion quickly turns to the Yankees' glaring roster needs: a leadoff hitter and a reliable right-handed thumper to balance the lineup. They zero in on the problematic infield, with Sal calling for changes at two spots due to the mess of Volpe, Chisholm, and McMahon. Tierney floats the idea of trading Jazz Chisholm for Bo Bichette to upgrade the offense, while Sal flatly rejects the possibility of pursuing Pete Alonso, declaring, "He's just not my kind of ballplayer." The segment concludes with a spirited debate on the entitled nature of former Yankee Edwin Diaz being "upset" with the team for not consulting him before signing Devin Williams.
Should the Yankees be more invested in Bo Bichette?
