Ken and Daryl bring in producer John and he runs through "About Last Night," covering the Guardians' rumored call-up of catcher Cooper Ingle and the awkward roster math around Austin Hedges and Patrick Bailey. He and Daryl Ruiter dig into MLB's proposed new CBA, debating whether a 200 million dollar cap on free agent deals could actually trigger a work stoppage given how the players' union is reacting. The conversation shifts to the WNBA's 30th anniversary poster controversy, where Caitlin Clark's exclusion sparks a debate over whether the league benefits from the constant outrage cycle. They close by teasing an upcoming interview with Bleacher Report's Greg Schwartz on the James Harden trade fallout.

Episode 437: Major changes to the Major League Baseball draft system could be on the horizon with the new CBA. The league is deciding whether to include new draft eligibility rules that would cut out all high school players from being drafted. Jared, Dallas, Jay Hay, and Tyler break down the pros and cons of such a radical change, the ramifications it would have across Minor League Baseball, and the substantial boost college baseball would receive if it happens.

Mike Florio tells Ken and Anthony he doesn't think Sorsby plays football in 2026, walking through why every backup option, from the CFL to the UFL to non-NCAA ball, is a worse alternative than just preparing for the 2027 draft. Florio argues the NFL's actual case is shaky since the CBA contains no "purity test" for supplemental draft eligibility, and points out the league held a supplemental draft for Josh Gordon without issue, making this rejection look like a targeted departure from precedent rather than a real rules-based decision. He's most struck by the public reaction, questioning why Sorsby has become so much less sympathetic than Maurice Clarett or Terrell Pryor when no teammates have spoken against him and his betting habits were arguably a product of a sports culture the NFL itself profits from and normalizes. Florio closes by noting that even a team like the Steelers, with their own gambling-soaked ownership history, would have little real principled objection to drafting him.

The NFL denied Brendan Sorsby's supplemental draft bid, citing a missed paperwork deadline that his own attorney insists doesn't even exist as a category on the application. Ken and Anthony trace how this went from a Browns subplot to a national story touching the NCAA, the CBA, and attorney Jeffrey Kessler, who they note has a track record of beating the league in court. They dig into the gambling numbers themselves, questioning whether 90,000 bets and a six figure profit really separates Sorsby from guys they know personally, and whether the league's stance is hypocritical given its own gambling partnerships. They close by debating if Sorsby was ever truly a top prospect or just a guy with traits and a great agent pitch.

Join PJ (prspctvibecheck), Kyle (@sonny_108), Lucas (theprospectprof), Tom (@tagates99) and Greg (@greghoogkamp) as they discuss the pros and (mostly) cons of MLB's most recent CBA proposal, the reduced drag on the baseball which is producing noticeably increased power metrics and the June top 600 update highlighting the new names in the top 10, big risers, fallers and names we each want to flag plant.Players discussed: Jesus Made, Leo De Vries, Josue De Paula, Colt Emerson, Kade Anderson, Seth Hernandez, Ryan Sloan, Theo Gillen, Luis Pena, Rainiel Rodriguez, Eric Hartman, Josiah Hartshorn, Karson Milbrandt, Nolan Perry, Ramon Marquez, Franklin Primera, Franklin Primera, River Ryan, Murf Gray, Luis Lara, Argenis Cayama, Jefferson Rojas, Hector Osorio, Jordan Yost, Jose Verdugo, Albert Fermin, Jeremy Suriel, Juan Martinez

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil dive into Bo Nix and Sam Ehlinger hosting a throwing camp in Austin, Texas, after minicamp. We break down who we saw in the photos from the throwing session and, more importantly, who was absent. We react to the Nuggets' approach in the first round of the NBA Draft last night, in which they traded their number 26 pick for 2 second round picks. Zach shares his concerns about the Nuggets' ability to move off the bad contracts they have on the team. Are there no bidders for guys like Cam Johnson or Aaron Gordon in today's strict CBA in the NBA? Could the Nuggets have used a guy like Tarris Reed, whom the Spurs picked with the Nuggets' pick? After discussing Wyndham Clark's achievements on Monday, we debate who makes up the Mount Rushmore of Colorado-born athletes. 

Mike Florio (@profootballtalk) is joined by Brendan Sorsby's agent Ron Slavin to break down the former Texas Tech QB's gambling situation ahead of the supplemental draft.

This week, Skyler and Evan discuss a crowded outfield that's about to get even more full with players coming off of the injured list. What decisions will the Colorado Rockies make with their outfielders? Meanwhile, the Rockies bullpen has been significantly... anti-clutch. Cardiac antics and blown games, especially in the ninth inning, have been costing the Rockies potentially winnable games. Finally, we congratulate Kyle Freeland on 1,000 career strikeouts and take a look at how CBA negotiations appear to be going. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As we rapidly approach the halfway point of the 2026 baseball season, some interesting trends are starting to become more apparent across Major League Baseball. One of the more jarring statistics is the difference in success between teams in the American and National Leagues. While NL teams seem to be having more success, is there a bigger issue at play for teams in the AL? On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman try to make sense of why the vast majority of teams in the American League aren't having great seasons. While 10 teams in the NL have records above .500, only five teams in the AL are above that mark. Additionally, only the New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians have reached the 40-win mark. Could it be the amount teams are spending on payroll, or is competition within the AL divisions simply tighter? Later, Jake and Jordan discuss the latest developments in the MLB and MLBPA negotiations over a new CBA, which could feature radical changes to how teams draft eligible players and what those changes could mean for the college baseball landscape. The guys then get into the new format change for the 2026 Home Run Derby, which some fans might not be thrilled about, before making their picks for this week's edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla. 1:34 – The Opener: What's wrong with the AL? 23:17 – Around The League: Latest in CBA negotiations 53:40 – We Need To Talk About: HR Derby changes 57:16 – The Good 1:04:01 – The Bad 1:07:58 – The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Yet again, another defending champion is finding it impossible to "run it back." 8 different teams have won the NBA championship in the last 8 years.

Prowokacja Bąkiewicza i Sakiewicza w Berlinie. Robert Bąkiewicz z kolegami wybrali się do Berlina. Rzekomo chcieli uczcić ofiary nazizmu. W rzeczywistości odegrali rolę ofiar niemieckich policjantów. Policjanci najpierw spokojnie tłumaczyli co wolno a czego nie wolno. Bąkiewicz z kolegami postanowili zrobić to czego nie wolno, zatem zostali zatrzymani, wszystko relacjonowała Telewizja Republika Tomasza Sakiewicza. Teraz krzyczą, że są ofiarami. Kaczyński mówi o nożu w plecy, Sakiewicz żąda by rząd nie podpisywał z Niemcami układu o obronie. Czyli o to chodziło... Porozmawiamy też dzisiaj o stanie polskich mediów i kondycji ludzi nazywających się dziennikarzami - poczynając od sprawy Leszka Kraskowskiego, który został aresztowany po tym jak miał kierować groźby śmierci wobec komendanta policji. Dlaczego tak mocno bronią pracownicy mediów tzw. głównego nurtu? Czy jest to jakoś związane z CBA? Gość programu: red.

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

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.

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.

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.
