Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about recent signings and injuries pertaining to teams whose seasons they’ve recently previewed, the Diamondbacks re-signing Zac Gallen and the thrilling resolution of the free-agent-contract over/under draft, the winter of Bryce Harper’s discontent, Harper and Manny Machado’s comments about the Dodgers’ spending, Max Muncy’s extension, the worsening of the allegations against Emmanuel Clase, new details about the challenge system, Mike Trout’s impending return to center field, and (44:33) the momentous, surprising resignation of Tony Clark as MLBPA executive director. Then (1:00:22) they bring on FanGraphs prospect writers Eric Longenhagen and Brendan Gawlowski to discuss their ranking of the sport’s top 100 (well, 110) prospects.

Ben, Woods, and Paul are here for you on a Wednesday morning!

Then we set the menu for today's show and the guys go over some 2026 projections from Fangraphs, and we're all a little confused as to why Fangraphs thinks the Padres will be a below .500 team?

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle go OFF after seeing FanGraphs' 2026 MLB predictions including the Yankees finishing FOURTH in the AL East?!

Pitchers and catchers have officially reported to CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches, but this Washington Nationals spring training feels nothing like years past — and umm, that's the point. In this Nats Minutecast episode, we break down why the Nationals are entering the most uncertain spring training in franchise history, led by an entirely new power structure featuring President of Baseball Operations Paul Toboni (tuh-BOE-nee), GM Ani Kilambi (AH-nee kih-LAHM-bee), and manager Blake Butera (buh-TAIR-uh) — without an ownership change. We dig into an unsettled starting rotation beyond Cade Cavalli (KAYD kuh-VAL-ee) and Jake Irvin (JAYK ER-vin), a bullpen projected by FanGraphs to rank last in MLB again, and the high-pressure Rule-5 situation surrounding Griff McGarry (GRIFF muh-GAIR-ee). Plus, what potential pitching adds like Miles Mikolas (MY-lz mih-KOH-lus) really say about urgency inside the front office. We also examine why even the catcher position remains fluid, with Keibert Ruiz (KYE-burt roo-EEZ), Harry Ford (HAIR-ee FORD), Drew Millas (MILL-us), and Caleb Lomavita (LOH-muh-VEE-tuh) all factoring into a depth chart that could change overnight. This spring isn't about patience.It's about auditions, pressure, and survival — and the Nationals aren't hiding it. Nats fans — or Caps, Wizards, Commanders fans...

Brenden Schaeffer discusses this projected St. Louis Cardinals lineup for 2026, which comes from RosterResource, a FanGraphs-backed outlet that digs into the nitty gritty for the rosters of all 30 MLB teams.They have Lars Nootbaar as the Cards' leadoff hitter, plus an interesting take on the catcher position. Do we agree with their projections? We discuss!

What does a Super Bowl win for Sam Darnold mean? How long did we spend talking about Darnold to the Steelers last offseason? It was fair to question if Darnold would flourish in Pittsburgh under Mike Tomlin and the shackles he's known to putting on the offense. But Tomlin is gone and Mike McCarthy is in. Does that give you faith the Steelers can find a reclamation project and reach the big game? Out of the names on the market, who can McCarthy thrive with? Is Malik Willis the frontrunner in this argument? What about Kyler Murray? Is there anyone else that tickles your fancy? Will there be another Sam Darnold in 2026? The first two callers suggested Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow being traded to the Steelers. Bucco Minute – The geeks love the Pirates in 2026. Fangraphs has their win projection at 82.8 – second in the NL Central. Their projection also has them as the 6th best team in the National League.
