Welcome back to Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, where reality, logic, and actual numbers take a back seat to Cowboys optimism and ESPN's interpretive math.In today's episode, Norm dives head-first into the financial fever dream that is the Dallas Cowboys' upcoming offseason—specifically how they plan to keep newly beloved star wide receiver George Pickens, who has played so well that Jerry Jones is already drooling enough to short-circuit a microphone.But wait—there's more:➡️ ESPN claims you can be both the underdog and the favorite in the same football game.➡️ A college playoff graphic boasts 108% probability, suggesting someone at ESPN is using wishful thinking instead of a calculator.➡️ Meanwhile, the Cowboys salary cap situation looks like someone tried to pay their rent, car payment, and a yacht out of a checking account with $47 in it. If you love football, chaos, questionable math, or just enjoy watching reality slowly unravel—this episode is for you.

The offseason didn't take a warm-up lap — it jumped straight into real movement. Episode 120 starts with two Blind Rankings games: Devin puts together eight random free-agent tag teams, pairing two available players who would be a fun combo for any club to sign together, while Steve works through eight free-agent ballpark fits to see which hypothetical landing spots match the player's style, strengths, or vibe the best. No context, no reshuffling — just reaction. We also dig into the Nimmo–Semien trade, one of the more surprising one-for-one swaps in recent years. The Mets send Brandon Nimmo (plus $5M) to Texas for Marcus Semien, reshaping both teams in a pretty direct way. We look at why Nimmo approved the deal, how the Rangers shift their outfield with Carter and Langford, and why Semien fits exactly what the Mets want to emphasize — defense, reliability, and a more balanced lineup. It also raises real questions about New York's infield picture, from Jeff McNeil's role to Brett Baty to how soon Jett Williams forces his way into a spot. From there, we get into Sonny Gray's move to the Red Sox — a deal that accelerates Boston's push toward a stabilized, playoff-ready rotation — and Toronto's massive swing for Dylan Cease, handing out a franchise-record seven-year, $210 million contract to anchor the next era of the Jays' staff. And then there's Hal Steinbrenner, who stirred the week even further by suggesting the Yankees didn't turn a profit in 2025 and that reducing payroll would be “ideal.” We break down why those comments landed poorly, how they contrast with the Yankees' global financial footprint, and what it means for their offseason strategy. Once the trade, signing, and ownership reaction breaks wrap, it's Blind Rankings time: Devin's Free Agent Tag Teams: Two random free agents at a time, paired together like a package deal — who makes the best duo a team could sign this winter? Steve's Free Agent Ballpark Fits: Eight different free agents matched with eight different ballparks — which pairing feels right, and which ones fall flat? We close things out by talking about how this early wave of moves — the Nimmo–Semien blockbuster, Sonny Gray to Boston, the Cease mega-deal, and Hal's payroll posture — might shift the broader free-agent picture, especially for hitters like Pete Alonso, Kyle Tucker, and Cody Bellinger.

MLB Insider, Robert Murray, joins JD to break down what feels different this season about the Blue Jays off-season pursuits (00:00). Robert gets into the pace of the MLB off-season news, why some quality free agents are signing early, high-leverage solutions for the Blue Jays, Framber Valdez's make-up, and the sweepstakes for Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker. The show ends with 'What We Missed!' (40:00) The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
BT and Sal tear into the Yankees' offseason plans, centered on GM Brian Cashman's recent comments about the outfield. The hosts call out Cashman's attempt to temper expectations by suggesting a "worst-case scenario" of relying on prospects Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez alongside Trent Grisham as "playing possum." They then debate the merits of the top two outfield free agents, Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker, with Sal expressing strong preference for Bellinger's versatility—but only for five or six years, fearing his market will explode to $170 million or more. The segment features BT and Sal's "Money Pit" contract guesses for Bellinger and Pete Alonso, along with a caller pushing for a trade for Bo Bichette. Finally, the show is briefly interrupted by breaking news: Jaxon Dart has not been cleared from concussion protocol, dramatically lowering Tierney's interest in the upcoming Giants game.

BT and Sal ignite a fiery debate on the New York baseball offseason, focusing on the nightmare scenario of Pete Alonso in pinstripes and the Mets' hypothetical, high-stakes Tarik Skubal trade proposal (costing four top prospects). Sal unveils his "Grand Slam Blueprint" for the Mets' future, but the hosts slam any executive who thinks Skubal's trade value won't drop due to injury risk—calling the strategy "moronic." The discussion pivots to the Yankees' third-base quandary: Is the safer, defense-first Ryan McMahon a better fit than the superior, aging Alex Bregman? Plus, shockwaves hit as the Yankees' farm system ranks a dismal 25th to the Mets' #1. Finally, they tackle the broader sports world, with BT railing against the "unwatchable" NBA regular season due to rest days, and they argue over the Week 12 NFL Power Rankings, where BT controversially champions his Denver Broncos.
Pirates/Penguins reporter Jason Mackey from the PG joined the show. Jason confirmed that the Pirates did offer Josh Naylor a contract, but doesn't think Naylor was close to leaving Seattle. Jason thinks they will spend some money this off-season, but players like Naylor and Kyle Schwarber are probably too rich. Jason questioned why a free agent worth $30M/year would come to Pittsburgh. Jason believes it's ‘very possible' that Konnor Griffin begins the 2026 season on the Pirates roster as their starting shortstop. Jason thinks the Pirates payroll will be right around $100M, but doubts it gets any higher than that. Jason thinks Eugenio Suarez could be the big move of the off-season, coming off a 49 HR season.

With the General Manager Meetings all wrapped up, the groundwork is being laid for what is sure to be a busy offseason. After the Los Angeles Dodgers captured back-to-back World Series titles, teams are aiming to knock them off their throne and every club has needs to make that happen.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at all thirty MLB teams and determine what their main needs are this offseason. With teams like the Dodgers, New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies all ready to spend money on high-priced free agents, how will they allocate their funds? What do teams in the middle—like the San Diego Padres, Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs—do to try to close the gap?Later, Jake and Jordan ask big questions regarding Kyle Tucker and his pursuit of over $400 million, who will be the toughest to envision wearing a different uniform and which player the Dodgers will eventually acquire to annoy fans from other teams. They also dive into the Seattle Mariners re-signing Josh Naylor after his successful half-season with them.1:33 – The Opener: Naylor back to Seattle20:47 – Around the League: Needs for all 30 teams39:36 – What do the teams in the middle do?55:32 – Will smaller-market clubs spend?59:42 – Pressing questions for free agents1:14:55 – Field Report: Nats' new manager Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

On this week's episode, we begin by making our predictions for the free agent market, including how Josh Naylor's five-year deal with the Mariners may shape the market for power hitters. From there, we discuss Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani repeating as MVP, Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes winning the Cy Young Awards, Stephen Vogt and Pat Murphy repeating as Managers of the Year, and our thoughts on the All-MLB teams. To wrap up, we discuss the Seidler family exploring a sale of the Padres, and the Rays return to The Trop.
Let's really talk about the multiyear-free-agent thing.
