Podcasts about cactus league

This week, the Boys are back playing meaningful baseball! No more Cactus League, no more spring, and no more WBC, because we have the regular season right ahead of us! We chat the opening day roster, and how much it's going to change throughout the course of a season. So no need to freak out about it. Some questionable bullpen demotions, but we're sure that they will be up at some time during the season. We discuss the expectations for this club, what their ceiling/floor is, and what we can look to as needlemovers for the 2026 season. Everything and everything Royals is what we're about. Then we end it with america's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!

Host Grant Mona welcomes you to a special season-preview edition of The Sporting Tribune Today. With the Cactus League in the rearview and the Freeway Series wrapping up, we're looking at a Dodgers squad on the precipice of history—and the young infielder who just secured the most talked-about roster spot in Los Angeles. Segment One: The Quest for the Three-Peat Grant dives into the headlines as the Los Angeles Dodgers prepare to open the 2026 season against the Diamondbacks. The "Obvious" Greatness: With a projected lineup featuring three future Hall of Famers—Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Betts—the Dodgers are the betting favorites to become the first team to three-peat since the 1998–2000 Yankees. The Ohtani MVP Prediction: Grant reacts to the buzz surrounding Ohtani, who enters the season fully healthy and ready to dominate both on the mound and at the plate. Is a fifth MVP trophy already a foregone conclusion? Rotation Realities: A breakdown of the opening rotation: Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets the ball for Opening Day, followed by Emmet Sheehan, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki, and finally Ohtani. Grant discusses how Dave Roberts is navigating injuries to Blake Snell and Gavin Stone to keep this "super-rotation" intact. Segment Two: Final Word from the Freeway Series We head to the locker room following the Dodgers' spring-training finale against the Los Angeles Angels. The Decision at Second Base: Grant brings you audio from Dave Roberts explaining the "toughest decision of the spring"—choosing Alex Freeland over Hyeseong Kim for the Opening Day roster. Roberts discusses why he prioritized Freeland's "at-bat quality" and defensive versatility while sending Kim to Triple-A for everyday reps. The Rookie's Dream: We hear from Alex Freeland, who admits he had "the chills" when Roberts gave him the news. Despite a statistically quiet spring (.111 AVG), Freeland talks about the mental adjustments he made and what it means to fulfill a lifelong dream of making an Opening Day roster. Spring Finale Highlights: A quick look at the Dodgers' dominant 10-run inning against the Angels on Sunday, headlined by a Shohei Ohtani bases-clearing double that signaled the offense is officially "regular-season ready."

Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be back in Cactus League action with the Los Angeles Dodgers soon after they and their Japanese teammates were eliminated from the World Baseball Classic. Now that their WBC is over, LA manager Dave Roberts officially named Yamamoto the team's Opening Day starter and said Ohtani will get back in spring games on Friday. Meanwhile, the Dodgers got demolished by the Brewers on Monday after a good start from Tyler Glasnow, as the bullpen allowed 21 runs in 4.2 innings. Blake Treinen wasn't the worst of the bunch, but he was bad, continuing a disturbing trend for him this spring. Clint Pasillas and Jeff Snider are here to talk about all of this, plus the fact that Miguel Rojas was NOT suspended for PEDs and there are actually multiple people with the last name Rojas.

Hour 3: Silver & Krueger switch gears over to baseball and work through the prospect of having Bryce Eldridge begin the season on the opening day roster. While Eldridge has a concerning 32 percent strikeout rate in the Cactus League, is hard contact, first base defense, and lack of booming production from his competition are all reasons to consider giving him a spot in the lineup on March 25. They also respond to Murph's take that Logan Webb's start tonight in the World Baseball Classic will be the biggest of his career.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
