2025 MLB Winter Meetings Recap: Schwarber Re-Signs with Phillies, Díaz to Dodgers, Alonso Joins Orioles & Post-Meetings Moves! Join us as we break down the action-packed 2025 MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando (Dec 8-11), featuring blockbuster free agent signings like Kyle Schwarber's 5-year, $150M return to the Philadelphia Phillies, Edwin Díaz's record AAV deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Pete Alonso's 5-year, $155M pact with the Baltimore Orioles! We also cover post-meetings developments, including Kenley Jansen to the Tigers, Merrill Kelly back to the Diamondbacks, and ongoing rumors around Kyle Tucker, Tarik Skubal trades, and more offseason buzz as of December 15, 2025. From reliever reinforcements to slugger splashes, analyze how these moves reshape 2026 contenders!

Who's the biggest winner of the offseason so far?

With the Winter Meetings in the books, Evan Petzold and Chris Brown break down on "Days of Roar" the Detroit Tigers' bullpen upgrades, signing Kyle Finnegan to a two-year contract and Kenley Jansen to a one-year contract with a club option. Can both veteran relievers maintain their past success in the 2026 season? There are reasons for confidence — and reasons for concerns. We also add context to the Drew Anderson signing, then debate the next player to lose a spot on the 40-man roster: Justyn-Henry Malloy or Bailey Horn? Baseball America prospects writer Geoff Pontes joins the show to analyze the Tigers' farm system, including the loss of RJ Petit in the Rule 5 draft, the acquisition of Johan Simon from the Toronto Blue Jays in the Chase Lee trade and the Tigers' updated top-10 prospect rankings, featuring Kevin McGonigle, Max Clark, Hao-Yu Lee and Max Anderson, among others — but not Thayron Liranzo. To wrap up, Petzold and Brown evaluate the starting rotation, including the trade rumors surrounding Tarik Skubal and whether the Tigers are making a mistake by not pursuing frontline starters.

Drea, Cody, and Anthony are back breaking down a massive week of Dodgers news and free agency rumors. Miguel Rojas is officially returning to the Dodgers on a 1-year, $5.5M deal. We discuss what this means for the clubhouse, his new Player Development role after 2026, and why the Dodgers wanted him back so quickly. Josh Byrnes has left the Dodgers to become the Rockies GM after overseeing LA's scouting and player development. What does this mean for the front office moving forward? The bullpen market is shifting fast. Devin Williams signs with the Mets so how does this affect the Dodgers' search for a late-inning reliever? We look at the possibilities: Robert Suarez, Pete Fairbanks, Kenley Jansen and whether Edwin Díaz is now legitimately on the table. We also dig into the outfield situation as the Dodgers are reportedly focused on trades instead of free agency. Names include Jarren Duran, Steven Kwan, Lars Nootbaar, Brendan Donovan and Byron Buxton. Would Los Angeles actually trade Teoscar Hernández?

 Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) took part in the Pitcher List Podcast Network mock draft in Octobter. This week, Chad Young (@chadyoung) grills Pete (nicely) on his strategy, his picks, what went well, what didn't, and what he learned. Along the way, they try to bring in some keeper league thoughts, as well.1:40 - What makes a draft like this different from a keeper draft - and what makes this draft particularly unique?11:09 - Picking 11th, Pete made a tactical choice to wait on pitching, knowing he could get his ace at 14, landing Fernando Tatis, Jr. and Paul Skenes.17:43 - At the 3/4 turn, Pete went bat-arm again, this time maybe reaching for a bat he loves (Roman Anthony) and taking an unexpected 2nd ace who fell (Yoshinobu Yamamoto)23:21 - Pitching keeps falling so in the 5th and 6th, Pete ends up with a third ace in Max Fried and fills SS with Bo Bichette.29:24 - Are we feeling different about Bichette in keepers vs. redraft?31:37 - In the 7th and 8th, Pete is feeling good about his three-headed ace and is looking for bats to strengthen his offense. He finds Brandon Lowe and Eugenio Suarez at two relatively weak positions.37:34- Among a run of hitters joining Pete's team, Pete takes his first closer, and opts for Aroldis Chapman over Cade Smith, then follows that up with Spencer Torkelson in the 10th, Michael Harris in the 11th and Teoscar Hernandez in the 12th.50:48 - Pete jumps back in the pitching market adding Tanner Bibee and Emmet Sheehan over a slew of other pitchers going in this range, before grabbing Kenley Jansen at the end of a closer run.55:54 - On the other side of the turn after Jansen, Pete grabs Luis Robert, Jr., one of a number of buy-low bounce backs (too many, perhaps) he grabbed in this draft. Then he adds Jonathan Aranda and Mackenzie Gore, who really shouldn't be buy-lows.1:02:06 - Pete closes out with a high upside play (Munetaka Murakami), his starting C (Drake Baldwin), a couple additional SP (Parker Messick and Brayan Bello), and a guy whose second half was better than you think (Christian Walker).1:11:44 - A quick look at a few players who went undrafted but could be interesting.Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | TuneIn | Google Podcasts | RSSConnect: Twitter | keeporkut@gmail.com | Join PL+Get PL+ and join our Discord: https://pitcherlist.com/plus  Join Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week's Mixtape Rewind goes to our most downloaded episode of all-time.  Our countdown of bullpen closer entrance songs.The bullpen door swings open, and suddenly the energy in the stadium shifts. A familiar song begins to play, and everyone knows what comes next – the closer is about to take the mound. Baseball's most pressure-packed moments have their own soundtrack, and in this episode, Matt and Samer break down the most iconic entrance songs in baseball closer history.From unexpected choices that became superstition-fueled traditions to deliberately intimidating anthems designed to strike fear into opposing batters, these musical selections reveal the psychology behind baseball's specialized relief pitchers. The episode takes listeners through surprising stories – like Craig Kimbrell adopting "Let It Go" from Frozen after his wife swapped his walk-up music on Women's Day, or John Smoltz strategically using ABBA's "Dancing Queen" to throw off opponents. You'll discover how Kenley Jansen's commitment to geography-based entrance music follows him from team to team, and why Edwin Diaz's entrance set to "Narco" suddenly exploded in popularity.As Matt and Samer approach their top picks, they analyze what makes certain songs particularly effective for the closer role – from instantly recognizable intros to lyrics that perfectly complement the situation. The tolling bells that announced Trevor Hoffman's arrival, the Irish rhythms that energized Fenway Park for Jonathan Papelbon, and of course, the definitive closer anthem that accompanied the greatest reliever of all time, Mariano Rivera.Whether you're a baseball fanatic or just appreciate the perfect marriage of music and sports, this countdown reveals how these carefully chosen songs transform ordinary pitching changes into theatrical moments that energize fans and intimidate opponents.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg discuss the latest around Major League Baseball. Juan Soto's struggles, the Dodgers slump and futures bets to make right now! In this episode, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers dissect a range of MLB storylines, with a heavy focus on Juan Soto's troubled transition to the Mets. Soto's recent on-field behavior—particularly his lack of hustle on a hit off the Green Monster and only securing one hit across three games against the Yankees—sparked criticism. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced plans to speak with Soto about his effort. Towers emphasized how professional athletes are expected to hustle regardless of performance, especially when part of a new organization. He critiqued Soto's declining stats (.246 average in 2025, subpar defense) and called out the media narrative that built him up unrealistically since his 2020 breakout. He believes the $765 million valuation raised unsustainable expectations. Michael Kay, based on conversations with Mets and Yankees insiders, claimed Soto appears “glum” and without joy. Soto reportedly preferred to remain a Yankee, but his family urged him to accept the Mets' offer. Towers, who played for both franchises, praised the Yankees for their professionalism and structure, saying it fosters respect and accountability. In contrast, he noted that the Mets, while improving, still lack the Yankees' foundational stability. Scott and Josh then evaluated the NL East race. Seidenberg endorsed betting on the Phillies to win the division at +130, noting their strong veteran core (Harper, Schwarber, Wheeler) and manager Dave Dombrowski's history of bold moves. Josh echoed this but pointed out the Phillies' need for young talent infusion, something they've lacked in recent years. They also discussed the Braves' resurgence, who started 0-8 but have since gone 24-15, with key players like Max Fried returning. Shifting to the Dodgers, both hosts criticized Dave Roberts' pitching management. The team's constant injuries and overuse of bullpen arms have led to four consecutive home losses. Towers questioned the effectiveness of the organization's throwing programs and training strategies. Despite Yamamoto's reliability, the rest of the rotation, including Snell, Glasnow, and Kershaw, remains inconsistent or injured. Fried's Cy Young candidacy was explored in depth. With a 1.29 ERA and consistent dominance, Josh called him the clear front-runner. Other contenders like Robbie Ray, Hunter Brown, and Chris Bubik were noted, though Fried's consistency set him apart. On the offensive side, Pete Crow Armstrong's recent surge sparked MVP speculation, but Josh dismissed it due to his relatively weak OBP and limited consistency. Attention turned to the Texas Rangers, whose rotation (deGrom, Eovaldi, Mowley) and improving offense make them serious contenders. The coaching shift toward personalized, non-analytic-heavy hitting plans has improved their situational batting. They also discussed trade rumors including Bo Bichette, Kenley Jansen, and Sandy Alcantara potentially moving before the deadline. The Orioles and Rockies came under fire for poor development. The Rockies' minus-150 run differential led Scott to predict they might break the all-time worst record. Josh argued that both teams lack direction and accountability, especially with player growth and clubhouse culture. Lastly, home field advantage in 2025 has reached historic levels, with home teams winning 56.5% of games, the best rate since 2005. Betting trends show high returns for home favorites, and Seidenberg emphasized this is a year to follow such patterns. The hosts closed with MVP and Cy Young betting odds, a promo for Pregame.com, and a final note on the season's unpredictability and remaining opportunities. Learn more about your ad choices.

Paul and Justin return to start their preview of shortstop with the top 12 at the position, plus Kenley Jansen signs with the Angels Source

The last holdout for notable free agents has finally signed, as Alex Bregman and the Boston Red Sox agreed to a deal late Wednesday night that sees the former Houston Astros third baseman taking his talents to Beantown. While the move isn't entirely shocking considering both the team and player have been connected throughout the offseason, how Bregman fits is the next question.Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss why it was a logical move for the Red Sox to acquire the former All-Star, if Bregman will opt out of his contract following 2025 and the possible reason he chose to play for the Red Sox and manager Alex Cora instead of reuniting with A.J. Hinch in Detroit for a longer deal.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys discuss Nick Pivetta and Kenley Jansen signing deals out on the West Coast, as well as talk about one of the bigger problems the New York Yankees might be facing this season. Jake & Jordan then make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla, including if Anthony Rendon has played his final game in the bigs. (2:39) - The Opener: Alex Bregman to the Red Sox(26:07) - Around the League: Pivetta, Jansen sign(38:01) - Spring Training Field Report: Yankees, Rays updates(43:44) - Turbo Mode: Other news and notes from baseball(47:33) - The Good, The Bad & The Uggla(1:03:03) - BBQ Homework Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
