From there, we discuss Harrison Bader signing with the Giants, All-Star Brendan Donovan heading to the Mariners in a three-team trade, Jacob Wilson agreeing to a seven-year, $70 million extension, the Twins President stepping down with spring training around the corner, and the new and improved Chicago White Sox.

Fantasy Baseball Live – February 1, 2026 – 3 pm ETSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Giants agree on a one year deal for Luis Arraez. While the adage that there is no bad deal, I'm not sure what this does for the Giants except block Casey Schmitt – but maybe he's not much better. Is there anything here for fantasy managers?2.The Giants also sign Harrison Bader. Any interest?3.The White Sox sign Seranthony Dominguez. I know the White Sox have said that they will make Grant Taylor a multi-inning reliever, so I'm assuming Dominguez is the closer. How are you handicapping the closer situation in Chicago?a.Also, the White Sox sign Austin Hays which push Luisangel Acuna to a utility role. Thoughts?Segment 2 – Outfield Rankings for the 2026 Season1.How are you approaching this position for your upcoming drafts?2.We will break down the top 45 in detail. Then, go through the next 30 in less detail. We will end by jumping around the remaining ranked players.3.Which player not in the Top 15 has a chance to emerge there next season?4.Which Top 15 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?

Quick baseball free agency follows with Harrison Bader landing a two-year deal with the Giants. Then the phones light up with Giants roster-building talk, including a fan playing GM and pushing for a big move on the offensive line. A wild wrinkle comes from a caller with a meteorologist connection who says Belichick used to seek ultra-specific forecasts, which sparks more debate about how much coaches should know about incoming weather. The hour swings back to Jets pain as callers re-litigate the Sam Darnold alternate history, and it ends with a full tilt spiral: why the Jets chose Adam Gase over Mike McCarthy, why it still makes fans sick, and the only logical explanation for the Patriots always getting the breaks. Plus, a quick cameo from Jet to sign off and get a verdict on the new background.

Evan and Tiki react to the Steelers making a stunning pivot, hiring Mike McCarthy and ending the franchise's decades-long tradition of young, defensive-minded lifers. They debate what it means for the Rooney family, whether this signals a new era in coaching philosophy, and how the quarterback dominoes could lead to Aaron Rodgers following the Favre script to Minnesota. Then the show takes a hard turn into pure insanity as the Pro Bowl somehow adds Shedeur Sanders, sparking a rant about how meaningless the “Pro Bowler” label has become.

Evan also hits a quick baseball note with Harrison Bader landing in San Francisco, before the hour closes with a full Jets fan meltdown, a Mike McCarthy hiring regret spiral, and the ultimate coping mechanism: the only explanation is that God is a Patriots fan. Plus, a last-second cameo from the Roberts household to cap it all off.
