In the wake of the Dodgers signing Kyle Tucker and the Mets signing Bo Bichette, Steve Adams and Anthony Franco both join Darragh McDonald to discuss whether it will be a new trend for stars to seek out short-term deals and whether a salary cap is the best way to solve baseball's parity issues.They also talk about how Bichette fits on the Mets' roster, whether the team will now trade for outfield help, and how the front office seemingly doesn't care as much about defense as they previously stated. Other topics include the deal that sent Nolan Arenado to the Diamondbacks, whether Brandon Donovan and JoJo Romero could still get traded this offseason, the Red Sox pivoting to Ranger Suarez after Alex Bregman signed elsewhere, and whether Boston will trade for an infielder. 

On this week's episode, we begin by discussing the Dodgers adding the number one-free agent in record fashion, signing Kyle Tucker to a four-year, $240 contract. From there, we discuss the Mets pivoting to Bo Bichette on a three-year, $126 million dollar contract, the Rangers adding Ranger Suarez on a five-year deal, JT Realmuto returning to the Phillies, and Nolan Arenado being traded to the Diamondbacks. To wrap up, we a three-team trade by the Reds, Angels, and Rays, the Yankees acquiring Ryan Weathers, and Clayton Kershaw's return to baseball for Team USA.

The Los Angeles Dodgers did it again. The defending back-to-back World Series champions have had yet another big-time offseason. After adding star closer Edwin Díaz, they went out on Thursday night and brought top free-agent outfielder Kyle Tucker into their already star-studded lineup, solidifying them even more as the Evil Empire of baseball.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the shocking—at least to some—move of Los Angeles once again bolstering their roster as they look for the first three-peat in baseball since the New York Yankees' 1990s dynasty. With the Tucker deal coming in at four years, $240 million, should Commissioner Rob Manfred start to worry about the perception the Dodgers are giving off to opposing fans with their free agent spending?Later, Jordan and Jake discuss the Boston Red Sox adding one of the big-arm free agents, Ranger Suárez, to their already crowded starting pitching depth chart and why he will be an interesting fit in their rotation. They then get into the Yankees trading for Ryan Weathers and the Arizona Diamondbacks acquiring Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals before giving an update on Team USA's newest roster additions. The guys close the show by making their picks for this week's edition of The Good, The Bad, and The Uggla.1:39 – The Opener: Kyle Tucker to the Dodgers20:36 – Red Sox sign Ranger Suárez43:29 – Scott Boras Scoreboard update46:10 – Around the League: Trade news1:01:48 – Team USA roster update1:08:09 – The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

The landscape of Arizona sports is shifting, but the frustration is mounting! On today's The Valley Verdict, we break down a massive "Who's Got The Beef?" with the Cardinals' front office, a heartbreaking night in Tucson for the Sun Devils, and a Suns loss in Detroit that had Grayson Allen reaching a new level of sarcasm regarding the officiating.In this episode:10:23 - Arenado's Defensive Fix: We react to the question posed by Burns & Gambo: Can Nolan Arenado single-handedly fix the Diamondbacks' defense? We analyze the ripple effect of having a Gold Glove vacuum at third base and what his veteran presence means for the clubhouse.22:18 - The Dante Moore & Kyler Ripple: With Dante Moore staying in school, the Cardinals' draft board just shifted. We discuss Wolf and Luke's breakdown of how this affects the QB market and why teams might finally realize Kyler Murray is a better bet than the uncertainty of a rookie lottery ticket in this class.55:26 - Who's Got The Beef? (The Harbaugh Fumble): The Arizona Cardinals are officially on notice. With John Harbaugh signing with the Giants, we break down my beef with the organization's inability to close the deal and the message it sends to the rest of the league about the search for a new "Enforcer."59:07 - The Robert Saleh Interview: We shift back to the coaching search as news breaks that Robert Saleh interviewed with the Cardinals on Thursday. We analyze whether Saleh is the defensive anchor this team needs or a consolation prize after missing out on the big fish.1:08:47 - Heartbreak in Tucson: We recap ASU's valiant but heartbreaking 89-82 loss to #1 UofA on the road. We break down how the Sun Devils proved they can hang with the elite in a hostile environment and what this "Moral Victory" means for Bobby Hurley's squad moving forward.1:16:14 - Suns' Officiating Chaos in Detroit: The Suns drop a tough one 108-105 without Devin Booker. We feature Coach Jordan Ott's post-game assessment and Grayson Allen's incredibly sarcastic response to the 25-15 foul disparity that defined the final two minutes.Don't miss our breakdown of why this might be the most consequential week in Arizona sports history!

Fantasy Baseball Live – January 11, 2026 – 3:00pmMicrosoft TeamsPodcastSunday, January 11, 20263:00 PM - 4:30 PMhttps://teams.live.com/meet/9360960458392?p=wO31KjtHU9wOTPVZVJSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Cubs trade for Edward Cabrera, sending OF Owen Caissie, SS/2B Christian Hernandez, and 2B/3B Edgardo De Leona.I wrote a long note to our Patreon members after the trade was finalized, so I won't reiterate my views. But, what is your take?i.Does Eddie Cabrera go up or down in your rankings or stay the same?ii.I'm assuming Caissie goes up, as he should get a chance to play. What's your take?2.The Cubs also make news, signing Alex Bregman to a long 5-year deal. This one has a lot of ramifications, as it was reported that the Red Sox really wanted to re-sign him.a.What happens to Matt Shaw? It's been widely reported, and I've heard from my contact that the Cubs are not happy with Shaw. I've heard he's difficult to work with, and the Cubs were not happy when he took a day off in September to attend the Charlie Kirk memorial. b.Who plays third for the Red Sox? Do they double down on signing Bo Bichette or go with some combination of Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell3.The Rockies acquire Jake McCarthy on Saturday for RHP Josh Grosza.I know it's the Rockies, but does McCarthy get a jump in value? RosterResource lists him as the starting right fielder.b.It's a bit of a bummer for Dynasty League owners waiting for Zac Veen and Sterlin Thompason to get a shot. It could even gum up the works for Cole Carrigg. Your thoughts?c.I saw Josh Grosz pitch with the Yankees last season in High-A. Fastball sat 93 to 94 MPH and was pretty flat with average secondaries. He does get a new lease with the Diamondbacks, but he's not someone I'd be running out to grab in Dynasty Leagues.4.My draft has slowed to a crawl. I'll share some of my mid-round picks.Segment 2 – Shortstop Rankings for the 2026 Season1.How are you approaching this position for your upcoming drafts?2.We will break down the top 15 to 20 in detail. Then, go through 20 to 30 in less detail. We will end by jumping around the remaining ranked players.3.Which player not in the Top 10 has a chance to emerge there next season?4.Which Top 10 player will not be there next season?5.Give me a couple of sleepers6.Give me one, maybe two guys you are just going to avoid drafting?

The Arizona Diamondbacks will hold onto star second baseman Ketel Marte, ending a months-long saga of trade rumors. Kellan Olson joins the show to react to the news, break down what it means for the rest of the offseason and how being in trade rumors could impact Marte.

Aram and Jack dissect the deal sending Edward Cabrera from the Marlins to the Cubs for Owen Caissie, Cristian Hernandez and Edgardo De Leon to open the show.

Segment 1 – Fantasy Questions of the NL West – Diamondbacks and RockiesArizona Diamondbacks1.Geraldo Perdomo broke out in a big way in 2025 with 20 home runs, 27 stolen bases, and a .290 batting average. The data suggests being wary of repeats in power and speed. What do you say?2.Jordan Lawlar – AB, HR, SB, and BA3.Are the Diamondbacks going to go to war with Alek Thomas in center field and Blaze Alexander in left field? If so, do you have any interest in either?4.I've got Brandon Pfaadt wrong, as I thought he would be more than a 5.25 ERA pitcher. Any hope, or should I just move on?5.How many waiver wire articles will Kevin Ginkle make this year? – Over/Under - 26.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Colorado Rockies1.Brenton Doyle – HR, SB, and BA for 2026a.He's going as the 37th outfielder off the board. We will look around to see if it's too high or too low.2.Kyle Karros (574), Zac Veen (494) and Adael Amador (590).a.According to RosterResource, they all will start the year with a job. Order them in how you would draft them. Do you have any real interest in any of them?3.Victor Vodnik has the Closer gig, I think. Uhh…you interested?4.How many wins do the Rockies get in 2026 – they were 43-119 in 20255.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Segment 2 – News and Notes1.The Athletics trade for Jeff McNeil, with the Mets receiving Yordan Rodriguez.a.a. The Mets pay 5.75 million of McNeil's contract, and it appears he will slot in at second base. Any interest? Would you have rather seen Darrel Hernaiz get some at-bats?b.b. Yordan Rodriguez is a young 17-year-old RHP with a fastball that can touch the mid-90s.2.The Marlins sign Pete Fairbanksa.The Marlins needed a closer and signed Fairbanks. I guess they think they can compete. What say you?3.The Pirates sign Ryan O'Hearna.The Pirates are continuing to get better, maybe marginally, but this feels like what the Royals did two years ago when they signed several mid-level Major Leaguers and did ok. Your thoughts?

On this week's episode, we begin by discussing this week's big free agent deals, including Merrill Kelly, Ha-Seong Kim, and Michael King re-upping with the Diamondbacks, Braves, and Padres, and Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami shockingly ending up with the White Sox.
