0:00 - What a win for the Nuggets last night! That was GREAT seeing them run up the score against a good team on their home court. Ain't no rest for the wicked, though. They're in San Antonio tonight. The Avs are back at it against the Kraken in Seattle. A double dip-a-roo means we need to get a double KEYS-a-roo to the game. 13:38 - Fernando Tatis Jr pimped a home run in the WBC like we've never seen anyone pimp a homer before. And Brett is so here for it. We need more showboating in baseball.After that, the Avs keep winning...but so do the Stars! The Avs can't seem to reap the rewards of their wins. Things always get screwy when they play Seattle. You can't have that tonight. Shake off the Edmonton win and get right back after it. 31:27 - The Nuggets are headed to San Antonio for a back-to-back against the 2nd team in the West/one of the hottest teams in the entire league right now. The odds are stacked against the Nuggets. You might call it a good ol' "scheduled loss." These are the games that the Nuggets used to thrive in. This year, we're not sure. They've been very hit or miss with their backs against the wall. Even though Wemby may or may not play tonight (he's a gametime decision) it'll be a tough battle either way.

Welcome to Episode 149 of Tablesetters, where we continue our division preview series by turning to the National League West heading into the 2026 season. For most of the past decade, the division has revolved around one simple reality: everyone is chasing the Los Angeles Dodgers. That hasn't changed. Los Angeles has won 12 of the last 13 division titles and enters 2026 as the two-time defending World Series champion. And somehow, the roster might be even stronger. With Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and one of the deepest pitching staffs in baseball — including Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, and Roki Sasaki — the biggest question in Los Angeles may simply be health. If that rotation stays intact, the Dodgers could once again dominate both the regular season and October. Behind them, however, the division becomes far more unpredictable. The Arizona Diamondbacks may have one of the most exciting offenses in the National League behind Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte, but their pitching staff has been battered by injuries. That puts added pressure on young talent like Jordan Lawlar, whose development could quietly reshape Arizona's lineup. The San Diego Padres still feature elite star power with Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr., and their bullpen remains one of the best in baseball. But with major rotation questions, the team may need a bounce-back year from Jackson Merrill to keep the offense dangerous behind its superstars. Meanwhile, the San Francisco Giants enter a fascinating new chapter after hiring former Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello as manager — one of the most unconventional moves of the offseason. Whether that energy translates to the major league clubhouse could define San Francisco's season. And then there are the Colorado Rockies, who are still firmly in rebuild mode after a brutal 2025 season. One bright spot did emerge: catcher Hunter Goodman, whose power breakout may give the organization a foundational player to build around. The favorite in the division is clear. But the race behind the Dodgers — particularly for Wild Card positioning — could become one of the most chaotic battles in the National League.
Welcome to Episode 147 of Tablesetters, where we cover everything happening across the world of baseball. Tonight's WBC special continues our coverage of the 2026 World Baseball Classic as the pool stage moves into its decisive stretch and the knockout picture begins to take shape. We're recording after Team USA's 5–3 victory over Mexico in Houston, a win that pushed the Americans to 3–0 in Pool B and firmly into control of the group. The tone of the game was set by Paul Skenes, who delivered one of the most dominant outings of the tournament so far. In his WBC debut, Skenes threw 4.0 innings, allowing just one hit while striking out seven to keep Mexico's powerful lineup completely off balance. The decisive moment came in the third inning. Aaron Judge launched a two-run home run to open the scoring, and Roman Anthony followed with a towering three-run shot that extended the lead to 5–0 and ultimately decided the game. Mexico attempted a late comeback behind Jarren Duran, who finished 3-for-4 with two home runs, but the United States defense shut the door after a key double play started by Bobby Witt Jr. in the eighth inning. The win leaves Team USA in position to win Pool B outright if they defeat Italy in their final pool game. Elsewhere in the tournament, Puerto Rico has already clinched its quarterfinal berth after defeating Cuba 4–1 in San Juan and improving to 3–0 in Pool A. Cuba and Canada remain locked in a battle for the second spot. In Tokyo, defending champion Japan finished 3–0 in Pool C and continues to look like the tournament standard, while South Korea advanced as the pool runner-up through the tournament's tiebreaker system. In Miami, both Venezuela and the Dominican Republic remain undefeated at 3–0 and have already secured places in the knockout stage, with the Dominican lineup exploding offensively behind Fernando Tatis Jr. With the pool stage nearing its conclusion, the knockout bracket is beginning to form. The top two teams from each pool will advance to the quarterfinals in Houston and Miami before the tournament moves entirely to Miami for the semifinals and championship game. The tournament format also includes relegation. Each pool contains five teams, and the nation that finishes last must return to the qualifying tournaments to reach the next World Baseball Classic. Meanwhile, the top four teams in each pool automatically qualify for the 2029 event. At this stage, Brazil, Czechia, and Nicaragua are among the teams confirmed to be relegated after finishing at the bottom of their groups. With the knockout stage approaching, the remaining games will determine the final quarterfinal matchups and could set up major clashes between teams like Team USA, Puerto Rico, Japan, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela as the tournament moves toward Miami.

Should you draft Roman Anthony with your ace already locked in? Is Eury Perez too early in Round 4? Why did zero prospects go in the first 30 picks? David Whitcomb, Rich Sayre, and Scott Shields draft live through the first five rounds of a 2026 dynasty startup—and they don't always agree.The guys debate dynasty strategy in real time: Chase Burns vs Jake Miserowski, whether Kyle Tucker gets a real bump in LA, and why Scott picked Garrett Crochet years ago when everyone told him to cut bait. Plus: the "defense keeps you on the field" philosophy that drove picks like Fernando Tatis Jr. and Julio Rodriguez, why rotisserie leagues are "dumb" (David's words), and the surprisingly old player who topped the draft at age 34 (Mookie Betts).Hot takes:David: "Dynasty is a three-year window—anything beyond that is a fool's errand."The group: Almost no prospects in 60 picks, and here's whyScott on Contreras: "Two catchers went off the board and neither was Willson Contreras?!"Rankings and cheat sheets at fantasysixpack.net/plans (Code: F6PPODS saves 15%)

We entered the hour talking about where to throw away dog poop bags, the national media really wants Fernando Tatis Jr to be traded, and we learn about the potential 2026 lockout.
BT & Sal torch Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner for being "tone-deaf" and prioritizing the business over winning championships, specifically criticizing his $100 million payment to the city excuse. The hosts argue that Hal's complacency with Cashman and the team's lack of development is costing them a World Series. The focus then shifts to the Mets and an aggressive hypothetical trade for Fernando Tatis Jr. Sal argues that Tatis, despite his $300 million contract, is a better investment due to his age (26) and elite defense than free agents like Bellinger or Tucker. Finally, Brian Baldinger joins to dismantle the 2-10 Giants' claim that they're better than their record, calling out their defensive breakdowns. They discuss the Lions' struggles, the Bears' legitimacy, and whether Jets fans can trust QB prospect Cam Ward.
BT & Sal torch Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner for his "tone-deaf" comments and for treating the Yankees as a business first, calling his $100 million payment to New York City an "excuse" for not spending to win. The hosts criticize Hal's complacency with Brian Cashman, demanding accountability for the championship drought and lack of player development. The debate spills over to ranking New York's sports owners (Mara, Woody, Cohen, Dolan) by their commitment to winning. In a hypothetical blockbuster, Sal makes the case for an aggressive Mets trade for Fernando Tatis Jr. over signing free agents. NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joins to dismantle the 2-10 Giants' claim that they're better than their record. The show wraps with a breakdown of the historic Thanksgiving Football slate, the "Bald Faced Lie, Bald Faced Truth" segment, and a "Call of the Day" where a furious Yankee fan "savages" Brandon Tierney for not being aggressive enough against Hal, vowing a boycott against the "trust fund puke."

BT & Sal ignite a debate over the latest ESPN farm system rankings, which shockingly place the Mets at #1 and the Yankees dramatically lower at #15 for 2025. They question if the Yankees' lack of development is due to constantly trading prospects for big-name acquisitions or rushing players like Volpe and Dominguez to the majors. The discussion pivots to a caller asking if the Yankees should pursue Fernando Tatis Jr. from the Padres, leading to a breakdown of his $292 million "albatross" contract and past PED issues. Finally, a mixed-race Mets fan calls in with a hot take on culture, arguing the Mets failed to land Japanese stars like Yamamoto because the organization is not "culturally intelligent" enough to make Queens appealing, despite the borough's high Asian population. They debate whether Steve Cohen did enough to honor Asian traditions during the recruiting process.
BT and Sal kick off the show with the bizarre video of Cam Skattebo performing a "shoey"—drinking an energy drink from a cleat—and his sideline antics. The hosts ignite a debate over a hypothetical Yankees trade for Tarik Skubal, questioning if a package including Spencer Jones and Will Warren is enough to beat the competition, and are shocked that ESPN ranks the Yankees' farm system at a disappointing 25th, compared to the Mets' #1 ranking. The conversation pivots to the international market, where they discuss the race for Japanese stars like Kaz Okamoto and the surprisingly low batting average of Munetaka Murakami against fastballs. A caller then proposes a trade for Fernando Tatis Jr., forcing the hosts to dissect his massive, albatross-like contract. In the Call of the Day, the guys argue over Alex Bregman's declining value against Ryan McMahon's solid defense. The show wraps up with a fun time-machine question: What single historical sporting event would they go back to?
Ben, Woods, and Paulie are here for you on a Thursday morning! We start the show with a little foreplay and Woodsy is a little upset at some "busy work" that is needed every few years, and Ben is once again experiencing some car troubles. Then we set the menu for today's show before the guys talk about some inaccurate Padres rumors floating around this week, including Fernando Tatis Jr who the Padres are NOT planning to trade. Listen here!
The St. Louis Cardinals are expected to be hyperactive this offseason in the trade market, and the GM Meetings are showing that there is a ton of interest in Brendan Donovan, Sonny Gray, and other players on the Cardinals roster. But could St. Louis also emerge as a fit for superstar Fernando Tatis Jr., who could be moved this offseason by the San Diego Padres? We'll discuss all of the trade rumors on this episode of Dealin' the Cards.
