John Fanta joins Afternoon Drive to discuss all things Cleveland sports. He talks about the Guardians signing of John Means, why Shedeur Sander makes sense for the Browns with the second overall pick, if Myles Garrett is doing the team a favor, and more.

On this week's episode, we begin by discussing the Red Sox making a huge splash by signing Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract. From there, we discuss Nick Pivetta heading to the Padres, Clayton Kershaw's return to the Dodgers, extensions for Mark Kotsay, J.J. Picollo, Cole Ragans, and Geraldo Pedromo, new homes for Justin Turner, Ty France, Paul DeJong, Joey Gallo, John Means, Jacob Junis, Kendell Graveman and Cal Quantrill, and the latest in the long-list of injuries for Anthony Rendon.

En el noticiero de hoy analizamos la reacción de Aaron Judge a un comentario de Juan Soto que ha llamado la atención en el mundo del béisbol. Además, en Boston, Rafael Devers deja claro que no piensa cambiar de posición pese a la llegada de Alex Bregman a los Medias Rojas. También, Mike Trout se moverá al jardín derecho para cuidar su salud, mientras que Frankie Montas estará fuera de acción entre 6 y 8 semanas por lesión. Hablamos de la extensión de contrato de Geraldo Perdomo con los Dbacks, los acuerdos de Luis Urías con los Atléticos y Yuli Gurriel con los Padres, así como las firmas de John Means con los Guardians y Luke Jackson con los Rangers. Para cerrar, los Atléticos extienden el contrato de su manager Mark Kotsay y los Reales hacen lo mismo con Matt Quatraro. #MLB #Yankees #AaronJudge #JuanSoto #RedSox #RafaelDevers #MikeTrout #SpringTraining #Beisbol #FrankieMontas #GeraldoPerdomo #LuisUrias #YuliGurriel #JohnMeans #LukeJackson #MarkKotsay #MattQuatraroConviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/con-las-bases-llenas-podcast-de-beisbol--2742086/support.

Welcome to Episode 61 of TableSetters! The MLB offseason is still delivering major moves, and we've got plenty to dive into. The Red Sox finally landed their coveted right-handed bat, signing two-time World Series champion Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million deal. But there's one problem—Rafael Devers isn't budging from third base. With Bregman's defensive versatility and Boston's need for a more stable infield, how will Alex Cora manage this potential logjam? Could Bregman shift to second base, or will the Red Sox have to make a tough decision? Meanwhile, the Yankees have a dilemma of their own as Marcus Stroman is making it clear he won't accept a bullpen role, stating, “I'm a starter.” But with Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, Luis Gil, and Clarke Schmidt already in the mix, where does Stroman fit in? With trade speculation heating up, we break down what the Yankees' next move could be. The Padres made another splash, signing Nick Pivetta to a four-year deal to solidify their rotation. With Pivetta joining a staff featuring Dylan Cease, Michael King, and Yu Darvish, does this signal a looming trade? San Diego is flirting with the luxury tax threshold, so we'll analyze whether they're making an all-in push or setting up for another move. College baseball is officially back, and Opening Weekend delivered absolute chaos. Six Top 25 teams lost to unranked opponents, exit velocities soared to MLB levels, and aces delivered elite performances. We break down all the biggest moments, from No. 4 Virginia falling to Michigan to Clemson and Oklahoma State putting on a power-hitting clinic. Florida ace Liam Peterson looked dominant, striking out 11 in six scoreless innings—does this set the tone for a breakout season? Plus, quick hits: John Means signs with Cleveland Frankie Montas shut down 6-8 weeks with a lat strain Royals extend GM J.J. Picollo and exercise Matt Quatraro's 2026 option Mike Trout moving to right field—what does this mean for his future? Geraldo Perdomo gets extended in Arizona There's a ton to break down, so don't miss this episode! Make sure to follow us on Instagram and X @TableSettersPod for all the latest updates.  

Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from the third hour of Tuesday's BBMS to discuss John Means' new deal with the Cleveland Guardians. Means was a beacon of light in a pretty dark time for the Birds. Will they regret letting a fan favorite walk?

The O's have decisions to make regarding their free agent class - namely Corbin Burnes, Anthony Santander, James McCann and John Means. Who should Baltimore retain? "The Bird's Nest" discusses.

In the second hour of Wednesday's big bad morning show, Ed, Rob, and Jeremy debate what they see as the Ravens Achilles Heel heading into week 6. Is defense their biggest issue? Could it doom them this weekend? Plus, we'll discuss the chances of a Commanders upset on Sunday, take a trip to the World of Stupid, and debate what the O's should do with John Means, Cionel Perez, and Jorge Mateo.

The Orioles will be without John Means' steadying presence on the mound while he recovers from Tommy John surgery. But that doesn't mean the lefty won't be reliable veteran in the team's dugout during the dog days of summer. On the latest episode of The Adam Jones Podcast, Means joins Adam Jones and Jerry Coleman to discuss his recovery (1:14), the atmosphere at Camden Yards (9:56), the O's coaching staff (17:05), his impending free agency (18:45), his teammates (19:22) and more. Then Adam and Jerry talk about managerial ejections (32:00), the 2024 Hall of Fame class (39:00) and the upcoming trade deadline (43:42).

Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald  to discuss Tucupita Marcano's lifetime ban for betting on Pirates games while he was on the team, the increased integration of gambling into the league, comments from Blue Jays' GM Ross Atkins saying that they it doesn't make sense for the team to trade Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or Bo Bichette and the state of the Orioles' rotation depth after it was announced that both John Means and Tyler Wells will have elbow surgeries. Listener question topics include the liklihood of the Brewers trading Willy Adames to recoup value before he becomes a free agent, if the number of Tommy John surgeries is rising, and whether money will be a big factor for teams at the deadline the way it was during last year's free agency.

Zach, Nick, and Bob discuss Connor Norby getting the call to make his major league debut and the injury news to John Means and Tyler Wells. Join our Discord! - https://discord.gg/bwxTfRbBbA Subscribe to our YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp_Ni5B6UU3nUh5CeFnlxig

Josh Gibson finally gets his due as greatest hitter of all time, now let's name the award after him. Stats from the Negro Leagues are finally integrated into the MLB stats and we see how opportunity affects counting stats vs rate stats. Winn and Volpe snap some streaks and in one case we end up with a DiMaggio sandwich. We lose more bfs to the IL –  Grissom is back out, Means and Wells are season-ending out. Patti is grateful Yoshinobu is holding his own and her closer is back. Joey Gallo is in line for dad power now that the secret is out. Although we cannot endorse flinging gloves into the stands, we do feel for Jorge Lopez. The NCAA baseball tournament is on, and we check in on our adopted D1 and DIII teams. We crosstrain with women's hockey champions, and Celtics doing good  work.We say, “Quite the pucker there,” “It  was condiment Friday. Put a cardigan over it and it's dressy,” and “I can't believe I couldn't put 2 and 2 together and get 7.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

It's another series win, and the crew (Jake and RDT) are here to recap it all for you.

The guys discuss the strong starting pitching, a continued comeback story for Craig Kimbrel, a revitalized Austin Hays and Colton Cowser, and much, much more.

John Means is a pitcher with the Baltimore Orioles. He was selected in the 11th round of the 2014 MLB Draft by Baltimore and made his MLB debut in September 2018 against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. In 2019, he won 12 games and was named to the American League All-Star team.  In 2021, Means was selected by Baltimore to be their Opening Day starting pitcher. On May 5, 2021, he threw a no-hitter against the Seattle Mariners, striking out 12 batters while facing the minimum of 27 batters. In 2022, Means only pitched two games before undergoing Tommy John surgery. He returned late in 2023 to help the Orioles reach the postseason and win the AL East.  Today on the podcast, John Means shares about the growth he's made in his walk with Jesus, the excitement around the Orioles, trusting in God in the highs and lows of baseball and the experience of playing in the All-Star game and throwing a no hitter.  Sign up for our Sports Spectrum Magazine and receive 15% off a 1-year subscription by using the code PODCAST15 ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://SportsSpectrum.com/magazine⁠⁠⁠⁠  Do you know Christ personally?
