Hockeytown news & analysis breaks down Alex DeBrincat's looming contract decision and what a step-back season could mean for the roster. (00:00) - Intro and Birthday Wishes We open with Evan's belated birthday (or is it Eric's?) and a look ahead to the draft and free agency. (04:40) - Alex DeBrincat Contract Situation DeBrincat's extension could decide whether Detroit retools or tears it down — and why keeping him matters at all costs. (16:10) - Yzerman's Path Forward The death-by-a-thousand-cuts problem in pro scouting and how a Larkin trade return shapes the next five years. (29:35) - Simon Edvinsson Extension Talk Edvinsson's RFA deal, the eight-year window before the CBA change, and whether a bridge makes sense. (36:00) - Darnell Nurse Trade Block What it'd take to even consider Nurse's contract, plus a wild Edmonton retention hypothetical.

(58:34) - Overtime Patreon Questions Trade-request floodgates, Connor Hellebuyck rumblings, the Gibson goalie surplus, and an onion-eating sacrifice for McDavid. --- Support the show: Patreon.com/WingedWheelPodcast Head over to wingedwheelpodcast.com to find all the ways to listen, how to support the show, and so much more!
Ken and Lima get the hard numbers from a cap expert and discover that a Donovan Mitchell discount is actually impossible under the current CBA, shifting the conversation to what Cleveland can realistically do this offseason. Ken pushes back on the idea that missing out on LeBron or Giannis means the season is doomed, but admits the Cavs need more than just running it back. The guys land on a tough truth: the wing problem is real, the cap is brutal, and Colby Altman's optimistic press conference answer doesn't quite add up.
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima welcome MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince to discuss the Cleveland Guardians' outlook following José Ramírez's hand injury. They explore potential trade deadline strategies, the need for pitching reinforcements, and the impact of a looming CBA negotiation on roster decisions. The conversation also highlights the debate over an MLB salary cap and floor to improve competitive balance.
In hour 4, Spadoni and Shasky talk with Nick Kostos about the Knicks championship and the 49ers. Plus the guys discuss if the CBA has actually been a success for the league?
In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson discuss what impacts a salary cap could have on the Pirates if MLB ends up adopting that as a part of the next CBA. Also, which Pirates' players do you think other MLB teams would be interested in trading for? And do you remember how well the Penguins drafted in the 2000s? June 15, 2026, 7:00 Hour
Za PiS mała nielegalnie inwigilować Pegasusem m.in. adwokata. Ale po zmianie władzy i audycie w CBA nie tylko utrzymała stanowisko ale nawet awansowała. Angela P. została dyrektorką pionu prawnego CBA. Prawdopodobnie przygotowywała materiały w sprawie afery Pegasus dla komisji śledczej. Odeszła dopiero po postawieniu zarzutów. Dlaczego zamiast obiecanej likwidacji CBA mamy awansowanie"pisowskich kretów"? Komu Tusk oddał służby? Porozmawiamy też o cyrku Trumpa przed Białym Domem i rysującym nowym porządku świata. ⛵️
Trigger Warning: Discussions of self-harm. A Reds pitcher confuses the end of his arm for the end of his life, several other players take the easy way out, a bizarre trade is deconstructed, the Marlins compared to the Browns and a certain IPO, and much more. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

GET IN WE'RE BOOKING: THE VALIANT KICKSTARTER ENDS TODAY. If you want your name in the book, today's the last day to do that. Things Discussed: VALIANT: Sam's getting background to tell stories nobody's heard yet from Dusty May. Ken Pomeroy is going to walk us through the 2PA Revolution and how it led to some of the best basketball teams ever. John Gasaway is going through the history of his understanding of the game, and the Michigan fans who pulled him along that journey. Will Warren is going to get into the way strategy and analytics created a special team. Craig's book too. Alex Drain chopped it in half, and it's finally written. Texas Tech and Sorsby: Craig walks us through the judge's insane decision, notes there's still a four-judge panel (of all TTU grads) that it needs to get through before this really is a thing. The reaction of the league is loud, but they're not going to do 90% of what they threaten, for many reasons. Comparison with reaction to Signgate: Difference was anyone who knows ball was saying it's horseshit. What do TTU fans say? They say Texas has been getting players off for worse for a century. What's the fix? Probably one part of the story that eventually leads to a CBA, because that's how the pro leagues control this. In break: the 1950s NYU scandal in the context of 1950s NCAA and the players making no money as everyone was getting rich. In-state recruiting: Some big guys going out of state. Guerrant: let's see if Michigan passes the ball this year before we take an impending Oregon commitment seriously. Gideon Gash: TTU means Michigan can come back around; big loss for MSU. Whittingham has done a good job adapting to Michigan recruiting. Retaining Bellamy retained connections in Michigan and the East. Harding gives him credibility all over the Midwest. Way they reacted to the NCAA attacking SMSB was like early Harbaugh. Pat Fitzgerald's slow start means little; he's got some OL, and that's what you really need. Seth likes the Frey-type tackle they got from Brighton.
Brent Baxter, Sam Delestienne, Steve Hoffman, John Strenger, and Matt Melsen Winning a banker-run auction at 5% under the highest bid. Closing a deal when co-sellers have not spoken in months. Getting through 22 countries of employment complexity with a client who refused to work with EOR providers. Acquiring a Netherlands-based public company and discovering the due diligence documents were in Dutch. These are the problems that no playbook prepares you for. Four corp dev professionals share how they handled them, and what it cost when they got it wrong. What You'll Learn How to win a competitive auction when you're not the highest bidder What seller conflict at the closing table looks like (and how to get a deal back on track) When an employer of record works in a cross-border carve-out and when it creates permanent establishment risk Why management trust in the buyer can outweigh the highest bid number What a first European acquisition actually costs in compliance, legal, and cultural surprises If you're running deals where the numbers are right but the relationship isn't, or you're in a market you haven't operated in before, DealPilot, powered by M&A Science, connects you with advisors who have closed deals in exactly that situation. ____________________ This episode of M&A Science is presented by DealRoom.

0:00 - Vic is going to Broncos OTAs today. He's the only person from the show who will be there. What will he learn today? What will he report back to us tomorrow?14:45 - It's that time of year again, folks. We're trying to figure out what the heck the Nuggets can/should do during the offseason. But we don't understand the CBA. Too many dang rules. We know nothing. Let's make a call to the bullpen. Jake Coyne, our Nuggets/NBA CBA expert joined us in studio to answer all our burning questions...to the best of his ability.32:17 - More with Jake Coyne in studio.

It's become book week at the Best Podcast in Baseball. Long time baseball writer and columnist and former president of the Baseball Writers' Association of America Ken Davidoff joins the podcast to discuss with host Derrick Goold his new book, "101 Lessons from the Dugout." The book, written for young adults, is a merger of baseball, parenting, and life lessons that use the dugout, batter's box, basepaths, and mound to map how baseball is a window into larger affirmations and experiences. One chapter discusses baserunning on a sacrfice fly and amplifies tagging up to a larger idea of pausing, gathering one self, survey the situation, and then charge headlong toward your goal with knowledge and without hesitation. "Your mound (is your) high ground," the book describes as an image for standing tall with an opinion at the center of everything. Davidoff spent decades covering baseball for the New York Post and Newsday, and on his final day on the beat a small group of writers, including Goold, stayed late into the night to cover CBA negotiations between the players' union and owners at the Cardinals' complex in Jupiter, Florida. The negotiations blew right past one of the deadlines, leading to Davidoff staying on the beat a few hours longer. There are lessons from those events too, and the two baseball writers dive into what could be lost with a missing season, what the owners aim to gain with the salary cap, and if any of the 101 lessons from the dugout apply to the situation. The book, "101 Lessons from the Dugout," is available wherever you prefer to shop for books, including here. More Post-Dispatch podcasts. Please consider subscribing. In its 14th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the duality of Jo Adell’s defense (after the FARTBAT low that followed his triple-robbery high), Spencer Arrighetti and MLB’s monthly player honors as the last bastion of old-school-stat-based awards, whether a team with a losing record could make the playoffs this season, Paul Goldschmidt’s pleasing platoon role, how much credit the Brewers deserve for Kyle Harrison’s success, Louis Varland’s value, the Tigers’ rapid plummet out of contention, the twilights of Nick Castellanos’s and Andrew McCutchen’s careers, and (1:15:01) whether the CBA negotiations merit horse race-style coverage.

MLBTR founder Tim Dierkes joins Darragh McDonald to discuss the early CBA proposals put out by both the Players Association and MLB. Some topics discussed include a competitive integrity tax, a hard cap and floor system, shared TV revenue, how many games each side would be willing to sacrifice, how to improve competitive balance, the public nature of the negotiations so far, how the MLBPA could improve their PR, and how pragmatic the current collection of owners will be during negotiations.
Mike and Rico offered a few thoughts on the early negotiations between MLB/MLBPA on the new CBA to open the show. They quickly took the topic in a different direction, asking whether you're becoming disillusioned with pro sports in general over greed when ordinary people are struggling to make ends meet. Then, David joined for an "In Football Today".

0:00 - Bill Simmons had some...STRONG words about the Nuggets and their unwillingness to spend in order to keep the roster together. Cool, man. But Bill clearly doesn't understand the intricacies of the CBA. I know we sound like a broken record, but the more you spend, the more your hands are tied. The Nuggets are very limited in what they can do this offseason especially without any good draft picks to offer up in a trade package.15:20 - Avs GM Chris MacFarland has been given permission to speak to the Nashville Predators. Could this be the end of CMac's tenure in Denver?37:50 - Oh, by the way...Yul Brynner was a total beefcake. Oh, by the way...a softball player for Texas has a very strangle superstition.

Wrigleyville Nation's Podcast - Chicago Cubs Discussion, News, & More
Jeremy is out for this one, so Evan Altman of Cubs Insider steps from the guest chair into a hosting spot. Evan and Pat review the Cubs' road trip, from the season's nadir to beating Paul Skenes for a series split. Then they cover bright spots like Ben Brown, Ian Happ (who is a better hitter than Derek Jeter was), along with not-so-bright spots among the pitchers. The conversation turns to CBA negotiations and how both sides' opening salvos look. Neither initial offer appears to be amenable to the other side, but there's a long way to go. Finally, Pat completely stumps Evan with a lineup from 2005 that features some players who've been completely memory-holed.
This week, the Boys are back to full strength and a little crispy. We breakdown the month of May, who was hot, who was not and what moves the Reds need to make internally to lengthen the lineup. We also hold our breath as Elly left the game early on Sunday, does this make an opening for Edwin Arroyo?! We also touch on the proposals from the MLB and MLBPA for the CBA and how it's gonna be a battle the rest of the year.

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley discuss the initial CBA proposals by the MLBPA and MLB: some specific points of departure and alignment, whether we really learned anything about what each side wants or the likelihood of lost games, and what the rhetoric and rebuttals say about the PR battle to come. Then (50:08) they banter about whether baseball broadcasts could ever get good enough to endanger attendance, why ABS challenge rates haven’t closely correlated with batter quality, a difference between what fans and neutral spectators tend to enjoy about teams, whether ace-type starting-pitcher seasons are making a partial comeback, a threat to baserunners and bat-dog employment, and a mid-start stretching-related mishap.
