Join Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill and Dave Feschuk for Hour 1 on OverDrive! The guys discuss LeBron James and the Lakers playing in Toronto and his next steps in the NBA, the Maple Leafs looking to keep their winning streak going against Carolina, Kyle Tucker visiting the Blue Jays' Dunedin facility and Bo Bichette's future with the Blue Jays. TSN Hockey Insiders Darren Dreger and Chris Johnston on the headlines around the NHL and the Scottie Scheffler's dominance at the Hero World Challenge.
The Blue Jays have flipped the narrative, jumping the market to land one of free agency's biggest names well in advance of the Winter Meetings. Ben and Arden start by discussing the upside potential and downside risk of Toronto's deal with Dylan Cease (00:20). Then, they cast forward to how the Blue Jays can approach Bo Bichette, Kyle Tucker, and the rest of the position player market (36:16).Finally, after the Blue Jays agreed to terms with Cody Ponce moments following this episode's original recording and rendered its final segment unusable, Arden jumps back in for a solo conclusion, offering his thoughts on what we can glean from the deferral structure of Dylan Cease's contract and why the club is betting on the KBO MVP's breakout (51:38).This podcast is produced and sound engineered by Christian Ryan and hosted by Ben Nicholson-Smith and Arden Zwelling.Contact us: attheletters@sportsnet.caThe 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.
Brent Gunning and Daniele Franceschi open Thursday's show by looking ahead to the Maple Leafs' road-trip finale against the Hurricanes. The boys frame tonight's clash as a clear benchmark for where the team stands, and discuss which parts of the organization (front office, coaching staff, or players) have had the most pressure lifted during this stretch. They then shift to concerns about the Olympic rink in Italy and the possibility that NHL players might not participate in the upcoming Games. After the break, Brent and Daniele react to news that Kyle Tucker visited the Blue Jays' facilities, considering what it might mean for Toronto's chances of signing him. They question whether both Bo Bichette and Tucker could realistically both be added long-term, and how missing out on Tucker would shape perceptions of the Jays' offseason.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.
Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith joins JD to discuss Cody Ponce's track record, how good he can be in MLB, if former Blue Jay Hyun Jin-Ryu had an impact, how the Jays are scouting in the Pacific rim, the Jays' overloaded starting rotation, Jose Berrios' standing on the rotation, if the Ponce signing signals the departure of Chris Bassitt and Max Scherzer and how that may impact the team, predicting Eric Lauer's role with the team moving forward, the remaining relief market, and the latest on Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker.

Conversations With Griff Presents Ellis Valentine Griff welcomes former Expos outfielder Ellis Valentine, discussing his career as a blossoming young Montreal baseball star in the '70s, derailed in the early '80s by injury and immaturity, from what once was a Hall-of-Fame career path, to finding himself out of MLB prematurely due to injury and a self-destructive lifestyle. The L.A. native talks about his journey from high school star, to second round draft pick in 1972, mentored by Mel Didier and Karl Kuehl in the Expos organization. He talks about similarities with the Jays' homegrown duo of Vlad Jr. and Bo Bichette, as he was linked in his early career with Hall-of-Fame catcher Gary Carter, advancing to the majors year by year from the same draft class and with similar potential. Valentine's big personality shines through as he talks about what it was like being young and an Expo, surrounded by a roster of like-minded friends, winning games in 1979-80, all in their early 20's all single and coming into their own together, with a fanbase that had a chance to get to know them in downtown srettings after almost every game. Ellis offers an opinion on what has happened to the African-American presence in the majors, his dislike of Gene Mauch, how he lost his peripheral vision for three full years after being hit in the face by Roy Thomas of the Cardinals, his trade to the Mets in 1981, his retirement, realizing he needed help and facing the problems head-on. A true Redemption Song of freedom.

Red Sox, Yankees, and the most underrated American League players in the MLB. This writer's question, do you like Connor Wong? What about Adam (@dunkintern)? It was also a busy week of contract tendering and non-tendering. It's sad to see Bernie's face, though to be fair the Red Sox did send him to hell in exchange for soda in the vending machine. I hope Paul DePodesta is happy with his new Colorado Rockies. In this segment of "Under the Microscope", the middle infield - Jorge Polanco and Ha-Seong Kim. (Ha-Spongebob Kim. IYKYK.) Are these guys worth considering in Boston? We say yes, but with some caution. One thing we all know the Red Sox need is infield defense. That's why we need to take a good, hard look at what Bo Bichette actually does for us. DFAs, Non-tenders, the end of Josh Winckowski, and the background around the new guys in camp. Braiden Ward, Ronny Hernandez, Triston Gray, and co. Next, the Rule 5 draft? Kinda slaps. Also, Ian got a haircut.

Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) took part in the Pitcher List Podcast Network mock draft in Octobter. This week, Chad Young (@chadyoung) grills Pete (nicely) on his strategy, his picks, what went well, what didn't, and what he learned. Along the way, they try to bring in some keeper league thoughts, as well.1:40 - What makes a draft like this different from a keeper draft - and what makes this draft particularly unique?11:09 - Picking 11th, Pete made a tactical choice to wait on pitching, knowing he could get his ace at 14, landing Fernando Tatis, Jr. and Paul Skenes.17:43 - At the 3/4 turn, Pete went bat-arm again, this time maybe reaching for a bat he loves (Roman Anthony) and taking an unexpected 2nd ace who fell (Yoshinobu Yamamoto)23:21 - Pitching keeps falling so in the 5th and 6th, Pete ends up with a third ace in Max Fried and fills SS with Bo Bichette.29:24 - Are we feeling different about Bichette in keepers vs. redraft?31:37 - In the 7th and 8th, Pete is feeling good about his three-headed ace and is looking for bats to strengthen his offense. He finds Brandon Lowe and Eugenio Suarez at two relatively weak positions.37:34- Among a run of hitters joining Pete's team, Pete takes his first closer, and opts for Aroldis Chapman over Cade Smith, then follows that up with Spencer Torkelson in the 10th, Michael Harris in the 11th and Teoscar Hernandez in the 12th.50:48 - Pete jumps back in the pitching market adding Tanner Bibee and Emmet Sheehan over a slew of other pitchers going in this range, before grabbing Kenley Jansen at the end of a closer run.55:54 - On the other side of the turn after Jansen, Pete grabs Luis Robert, Jr., one of a number of buy-low bounce backs (too many, perhaps) he grabbed in this draft. Then he adds Jonathan Aranda and Mackenzie Gore, who really shouldn't be buy-lows.1:02:06 - Pete closes out with a high upside play (Munetaka Murakami), his starting C (Drake Baldwin), a couple additional SP (Parker Messick and Brayan Bello), and a guy whose second half was better than you think (Christian Walker).1:11:44 - A quick look at a few players who went undrafted but could be interesting.Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | TuneIn | Google Podcasts | RSSConnect: Twitter | keeporkut@gmail.com | Join PL+Get PL+ and join our Discord: https://pitcherlist.com/plus Join Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

MLB Insider, Robert Murray, joins JD to break down what feels different this season about the Blue Jays off-season pursuits (00:00). Robert gets into the pace of the MLB off-season news, why some quality free agents are signing early, high-leverage solutions for the Blue Jays, Framber Valdez's make-up, and the sweepstakes for Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker.

BT and Sal tear into the Yankees' offseason plans, centered on GM Brian Cashman's recent comments about the outfield. The hosts call out Cashman's attempt to temper expectations by suggesting a "worst-case scenario" of relying on prospects Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez alongside Trent Grisham as "playing possum." They then debate the merits of the top two outfield free agents, Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker, with Sal expressing strong preference for Bellinger's versatility—but only for five or six years, fearing his market will explode to $170 million or more. The segment features BT and Sal's "Money Pit" contract guesses for Bellinger and Pete Alonso, along with a caller pushing for a trade for Bo Bichette. Finally, the show is briefly interrupted by breaking news: Jaxon Dart has not been cleared from concussion protocol, dramatically lowering Tierney's interest in the upcoming Giants game.
From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to a busy day of moves for the Red Sox that saw many relievers be traded in shocking deals. What happens next with the Sox bullpen with guys like Bernie, Murph, and others gone? Then, Bo Bichette has emerged as an interest for Boston which would be quite the upgrade if they lost out on Alex Bregman. And, the decisions on the qualifying offers were made and they could impact what the Sox do this offseason without anyone realizing it.

Guests: Ryan Bondy (Book of Mormon), Jeff Madden (Jersey Boys, Shrek The Musical), Paloma Nunez (Second City) This week in Deep Left Field, we sit in the limbo between the end of the World Series and the beginning of the winter transaction season, so we took advantage and gathered some Canadian stars of stage and screen who also happen to be huge Blue Jays fans. Ryan Bondy, Jeff Madden and Paloma Nunez join us to talk about their memories and feelings about the Jays' magical 2025 that saw them get within two outs of winning the World Series, and we look ahead to the off-season with an eye on Bo Bichette and whether or not the Jays should keep the whole gang together in an attempt to run it back. Also, Madden fills us in on what it's like to sing the anthems at a Jays game. The mailbag is always open at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!
*EXTREME WINGS-ERA PAUL McCARTNEY VOICE* Jeff! OooOooOoo OO ooOOoo! Jeff!Yes, that's right. I said Jeff. As in Jeff Passan of ESPN, who is as credible as they come, and who this week left open all the possibilities for an incredible winter, telling us that the Jays “want a left-handed complement to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.,” that they have “no plans to slow down,” that “they are considered the favourite by other executives to land (Kyle) Tucker,” and that they “still could conceivably sign Tucker and (Bo) Bichette."So in this episode we talk all about it, and about the Jays possibly seizing the moment to truly try to become a perennial big-money contender.Plus!: Qualifying offers, Nick Sandlin (and Andres Gimenez), Ricky Tiedemann, the team we'd least like to see Bo end up with, and more! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Red Sox Senior Director of Player Development joins the show to break down a full day of roster maneuvering, including why protecting Rule 5 eligible arms like David Sandlin and Shane Dawson became priorities and how the organization is rebalancing its mix of right and left handed relief options heading into the Winter Meetings. Tom and Alex then dive into Boston's reported interest in Bo Bichette, Pete Alonso and Alex Bregman, how the Sox might approach the top of the free agent market, and what kind of timeline could guide any major move this offseason.

Jim Bowden, former Executive of the Year and current MLB insider, joins JD to dive into the Blue Jays offseason intentions, which big name free agents could land in Toronto, the chase for Bo Bichette and what it means if he returns or leaves, what he makes of players opting-in, how personality fit affects strategies, Tarik Skubal's standing with the Detroit Tigers, and the looming collective bargaining negotiations. The show ends with 'What We Missed!'

Tim Dierkes, Steve Adams and Anthony Franco all join Darragh McDonald to discuss the site's annual Top 50 Free Agents list. Topics include how the threat of a lockout will affect free-agent contracts, if there's a team that will be willing to give Kyle Tucker a massive deal, the factors that could drive up Bo Bichette's price, how difficult it is to predict what Dylan Cease will sign for, what to make of Japanese stars Munetaka Murakami and Tatsuya Imai, if this will be the year that Cody Bellinger and Pete Alonso get huge deals, how the guys nailed the terms of Josh Naylor's contract, the best comps for Zac Gallen and Michael King, if teams will be able to overlook Devin Williams having poor ERA last year, if Robert Suarez can get a three-year deal going into his age-35 season, and the players with tough qualifying offer decisions.
Welcome to Episode 118 of Tablesetters. The offseason opened with a major move, as Josh Naylor signed a five-year deal with the Seattle Mariners, immediately reshaping the first-base market. His return reinforces Seattle's lineup core and removes one of the most dependable bats from free agency. We break down why the deal came together quickly, why other teams never seriously entered the mix, and how his signing affects clubs still searching for first-base or middle-of-the-order help. Midway through the live show, the conversation shifted when news broke that the Orioles traded Grayson Rodriguez to the Angels for Taylor Ward. Rodriguez missed the entire 2025 season with arm injuries, but the Angels are betting on the upside he showed before the setbacks. Ward, under control through 2026, gives Baltimore a steady right-handed bat and immediate outfield stability. We break down how the trade fits each team's broader offseason plan and what it suggests about their priorities moving forward. The episode also covers one of the most unusual qualifying-offer cycles since the system's creation. Four players accepted the QO — Trent Grisham, Gleyber Torres, Shota Imanaga, and Brandon Woodruff — marking the first time more than three players have taken it in the same offseason. Grisham's decision is the most surprising, coming off a breakout 34-homer season in a thin outfield market. His acceptance raises the Yankees' payroll above the third luxury-tax tier and signals a calculated one-year bet on himself. Torres returns to Detroit looking for a healthier 2026 after playing through a sports hernia. Imanaga chose a reset with Chicago after a late-season downturn, and Woodruff accepted as expected as he continues his recovery from shoulder surgery. On the other side, nine players rejected the QO — Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber, Bo Bichette, Framber Valdez, Dylan Cease, Ranger Suárez, Edwin Díaz, Zac Gallen, and Michael King — a group largely expected to pursue multi-year deals despite draft-pick compensation. Their decisions, combined with Grisham coming off the board, further thin the center-field market and shift clubs toward potential trade options. This QO cycle reflects a winter shaped by uncertainty around future labor conditions, stricter tax penalties, and mixed performances from several major free agents. In San Diego, the Padres' ownership evaluation remains ongoing. The Seidler family is formally exploring a potential sale while working through internal disputes and long-term financial considerations. The front office maintains a “business as usual” stance, but the review introduces real questions about payroll strategy and organizational stability heading into 2026. Award season added another layer to a busy week. Shohei Ohtani earned another unanimous MVP, and Aaron Judge secured his third after a tightly contested race. On the pitching side, Tarik Skubal won his second straight AL Cy Young Award, and Paul Skenes captured the NL honor just a year after winning Rookie of the Year — a rare progression that underscores how quickly he has become one of the league's most impactful pitchers. In Washington, the Nationals introduced Drew Butera as their new manager, making him the youngest skipper in Major League Baseball in more than 50 years. His development-focused background aligns with the organization's larger reset under Paul Toboni. The 2026 Hall of Fame ballot was also released, featuring returning candidates such as Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones along with first-time names including Cole Hamels, Ryan Braun, and Matt Kemp.
Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open Wednesday's show by recapping the Leafs' much-needed win over the Blues. They highlight strong performances from John Tavares, William Nylander, and Joseph Woll, and examine how injuries are testing the team's depth and shaping Craig Berube's decisions. They also discuss the team's struggling power play and the looming goaltending decisions once Anthony Stolarz returns. The conversation then shifts to the Blue Jays, including Ricky Tiedemann's addition to the 40-man roster and what it signals for his future. Ben and Brent wrap up this hour with thoughts on Bo Bichette declining his qualifying offer amid reported interest from Boston and other contenders.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.
In the final hour, Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning are joined by Sportsnet NHL analyst Jason Bukala to discuss the Toronto Maple Leafs' recent performance and the impact of John Tavares. They explore whether the team's less thrilling style indicates positive progress, the effects of injuries on Craig Berube's depth decisions, and insights on the Leafs' bottom six. They also touch on Brad Treliving's comments about the team. After the break, Sportsnet Blue Jays analyst Shi Davidi (26:35) joins to share key takeaways from the GM meetings, discuss the Jays' market opportunities, Ricky Tiedemann's role next season, and Bo Bichette's future in Toronto. The segment concludes with the Crown Canadian moment of the day.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.

When the Toronto Blue Jays went on their miracle postseason run that landed them just two outs shy of winning the World Series, very few believed they'd be in that position during the regular season. However, after falling just short of the ultimate goal, the question now remains: where do the Jays go from here?On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman are joined by Blue Jays writer for Sportsnet, Ben Nicholson-Smith, as they try to figure out how Toronto will approach free agency this offseason — including whether they'll be able to retain star shortstop Bo Bichette as he enters free agency. They also discuss the lasting impact the Blue Jays' World Series run will have on fans in Canada and when Ben first thought this was a team capable of making a deep postseason run.Later, Jake and Jordan talk about the Colorado Rockies' surprising decision to hire Paul DePodesta as their President of Baseball Operations, the San Diego Padres hiring former reliever Craig Stammen as their new manager and go over the players who received qualifying offers. They then make their picks as The Good, The Bad and The Uggla finally makes its return.2:11 - The Opener: Blue Jays postmortem22:46 - Where does Toronto go from here?37:01 - We Need to Talk About: Rockies' interesting hire52:58 - Padres have a new manager1:00:18 - Around the League1:06:55 - The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
