Podcast appearances and mentions of Kenley Jansen

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.

Alex and Everything After: Mostly it's because Alex Bregman finally signed somewhere. Where he is goign to play there? A more open-ended question.2. Los Angeles, I'm Yours: Clayton Kershaw returns home (and immediately goes on the IL)3.

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:

On this week's episode, we begin by discussing Pete Alonso returning home to the Mets on a two-year, $54 million contract after prolonged negotiations between the two sides. From there, we discuss Jack Flaherty heading back to the Tigers, Kenley Jansen's return to LA with the Angels, Pat Hoberg's firing after the umpire was tied to gambling, Kike Hernandez heading back to the Dodgers, Yoan Moncada heading to the Angels, and new homes for Tommy Pham, Ramon Laureano, Harrison Bader, Jason Heyward, and Connor Joe.

Luka Doncic made his Laker debut last night in what was an electric atmopshere at the Crypt. Mavs fans chanted and heckled ownership and the GM (and even former majority owner, Mark Cuban). The Athletic did a fan survey of Angel fans and not surprisingly, the returns were not good for Arte Moreno. Kenley Jansen signed a 1 year deal with the Angels.

Vlad Sedler (@rotogut) and Jason Anthony (@booms62) begin their position tiers podcast series with a deep dive into the catcher position. Is William Contreras worth a second-round pick? Who is the Cal Raleigh-clone you can draft several rounds later? How can you help the batting average category with a late-round catcher? Vlad and Jason have all the answers in this week's episode. They also cover the recent signing of Pete Alonso by the Mets and other recent free agent additions, discuss the ADP shift in the closer and relief pitcher market, open a sneaky pocket of late-round reliever fantasy value, and review some player news ahead of pitchers and catchers reporting to camp.The Closer Rabbit HoleCarlos Estevez and Lucas Erceg on the RoyalsHow to value Kirby Yates and Tanner ScottRobert Suarez trade rumors keep on swirlingBooms loves him some Kenley Jansen.
