Eric and Brett discuss the sudden retirement of Kyle Seager and makes more sense that the Mariners went out to get Abraham Toro. We discussed whether Toro is the real deal or whether he was just out to get the Astros. We then discussed some of the New Years' resolutions for the Houston Astros. With the signing of Justin Verlander to a very Astros friendly contract will his return to the mound mean another world Series Title? THe Houston Astros have many things they can improve upon in 2022, stolen bases, starters going longer than 3 or 4 innings, a solid Center Field Replacement, and Shortstop for that matter. What will Carlos Correa do? Can the Astros expect to see Forrest Whitley, Korey Lee, Jeremy Pena and Pedro Leon all make thier major league debut? Eric and Brett discuss this on the show as well.

Justin Verlander's deal with the Astros is official: 2 years, $50 million. Although the contract was signed and submitted to MLB for approval before the lockout began, it wasn't actually approved until now. The Astros are making a big bet on the future Hall of Famer rebounding from Tommy John Surgery at age 39. Seiya Suzuki is the next big name from Japan looking to make a move to MLB. What does the Japanese slugger have to offer and who's interested in him? All this (and more) on today's episode.

Eric Huysman is joined by guest host Brandon Del Castillo to discuss the Justin Verlander deal becoming official. Wait, was I supposed to use his name? A player with the initial JV has officially re-signed with the Houston Astros, as the deal was signed before the lockout began on December 1st. Once again people across baseball are probably saying, that's fishy.

J.P. & Josh take an early offseason look at the activity and non-activity of their favorite Texas teams.  Before they get into the nitty-gritty (1:30) J.P. puts Josh on the spot for a spontaneous Texas high school football road trip. Then they break down (3:45) the early offseason storylines from the AL champs. Josh is ok with his team not spending before the lockdown shut things down. Dusty Baker is back (7:00) and you can't really say that's a bad move. But the big story is Carlos Correa not coming back (10:00). Who's the in-house candidate to fill that huge hole, or do they go shopping in the bargain bin? Justin Verlander is back (16:30) and that solidifies the Astros rotation up towards the top of the American League. J.P. is understandably giddy about his Rangers flurry of moves (21:45)! Marcus Semien got the ball rolling (24:20) and Corey Seager was soon to follow. He comes to Arlington as one of the best hitting shortstops in the game. Texas is speeding up the rebuilding process. Hopefully Jon Gray (32:55) won't be the last pitcher signed in the offseason. The front office (34:45) has earned fans trust adding midlevel starting pitching and this probably isn't the offseason to add front of the line pitching with the young starting pitching right around the corner. And let's not forget the addition of Kole Calhoun! (38:15) 'The Texas Porch' is available on Apple, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, Tune-in, I-Heart and all major podcast outlets.

Today's word of the day is ‘pancake' as in the Pancake Factory as in the University of Texas offensive line will now receive $50K each for NIL and charitable causes. How about coach buyout money? We're close to $100M in buyouts schools are paying for coaches to no longer coach at its school. College football is now the wild Wild West. It always has been, but now we see it. Remember last year when schools were getting rid of smaller programs because of lost money due to covid? yea… (15:45) The Portland Trail Blazers are in trouble. The team just fired its GM for misconduct. The President left the team last month to take another job in Detroit. Damian Lillard hasn't been great. The team is losing games in Chauncey Billups first season. There was a trade offer that would send CJ McCollum away. Anything else? (21:20) President Biden announced the US boycott of the Beijing Olympics. What does that mean for athletes? Nothing. Is this a major show by the US? No. (30:50) Review: The Last Duel. (35:10) So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about Justin Verlander and lockout limbo. A deal was reached for 2 years, $50M for Verlander to return to the Houston Astros, but yet, he's still a free agent. Interesting. (43:50) Median Spirit dies suddenly.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Detroit Tigers made the first big move in MLB free agency by inking Eduardo Rodriguez. The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen and co-host Kieran Steckley analyze the move.

Emily & John discuss Syndergaard's departure, Verlander's non-departure, Correa & Jeter, Yankees new 3rd Base Coach, Manager of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Cy Young winners, Billy Eppler, the Philly Phanatic, the Cleveland Guardians, voicemails, Top 6 Thanksgiving Sides & more!

The offseason rumor mill continues to chug along, as the Yankees are still reportedly talking to the camps of both Carlos Correa and Corey Seager. In recent news however, Correa made some harsh comments towards Derek Jeter's defensive career, claiming Jeter did not deserve any of the Gold Glove awards he won. Understandably, many Yankee fans took exception to his quote and started to question whether Correa's villainous persona is something they want on the team. We also find out how desperate teams are during this year's pitching market, with Justin Verlander returning to Houston on a massive 1-year/$25 million gamble from the Astros, and the Angels signing Noah Syndergaard to a 1-year/$21 million dollar deal. Brett Gardner also reportedly wants to play again in 2022, making us seriously doubt that we'll ever get rid of this man from our lives. We also discuss the recent awards season, debating whether or not it was a good thing that Cole was snubbed for AL Cy Young and what it truly means to be an "MVP" of the league. Finally, we thought it'd be appropriate to comment on a certain Twitter "reporter" that got outed for sharing fake Matt Olson trade rumors in hilarious fashion, hopefully he never makes a resurgence.
