As the baseball world prepares for Spring Training being a month away, some of the biggest free agents in the sport remain on the open market.

Episode 128 of Tablesetters is a mini reaction pod focused on a pivotal stretch of the offseason where one signing, one trade market, and one free agent begin to reshape how teams are positioning themselves for 2026. We open in Toronto, where the Blue Jays officially make their long-anticipated breakthrough in the Japanese market by signing Kazuma Okamoto to a four-year, $60 million contract just ahead of the expiration of his 45-day posting window. The deal is a straight four-year agreement with no opt-outs, structured as a $5 million signing bonus, a $7 million salary in 2026, and $16 million salaries in each of the final three seasons, with Okamoto represented by the Boras Corporation. To create a 40-man roster spot, Toronto designated right-hander Paxton Schultz for assignment. MLB Trade Rumors ranked Okamoto 19th on its top 50 free agents list and projected a four-year, $64 million deal, putting the final terms right in line with expectations. The signing also triggers a $10.875 million posting fee to the Yomiuri Giants under the NPB–MLB posting system. From there, we break down what Okamoto's arrival does to the Blue Jays' roster construction. The 29-year-old projects as Toronto's regular third baseman, while also bringing experience at first base and in the outfield. His versatility creates ripple effects across the lineup, including a likely platoon with Addison Barger at third base, more consistent second base work for Ernie Clement, and a positional shift that moves Andrés Giménez from second base to everyday shortstop. We also examine how the picture changes if Bo Bichette re-signs, and how crowded things could become if Toronto lands another rumored target like Kyle Tucker. The signing adds another layer to an offseason for a Blue Jays team that came within two outs of winning Game 7 of the World Series, following earlier pitching additions like Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, and Tyler Rogers. It also effectively closes the door on pursuits of Alex Bregman and Yoán Moncada unless Toronto makes the unconventional decision to deploy Okamoto primarily in the outfield. Next, we shift to the trade market, where Edward Cabrera has emerged as one of the most consequential arms potentially available. The Yankees are actively engaged in discussions with the Marlins while also remaining involved on Freddy Peralta, with the Mets and Cubs also expressing interest in Cabrera. We break down why Cabrera's 2025 season, his power profile, his remaining club control through 2028, and his projected $3.7 million arbitration salary make him such an attractive target. We also examine the injury concerns that complicate his value, the Yankees' urgent rotation needs with Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón set to open the year on the injured list, and why Cabrera's affordability matters for both New York and Chicago as they juggle payroll, roster needs, and other offensive pursuits. For the Mets, we look at how their rotation has remained largely untouched despite major position-player turnover, and why their collection of young infield talent could factor into any serious push for pitching. We close with the expanding market for Cody Bellinger, as the Cubs check in and join a group that already includes the Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Mets, Angels, Blue Jays, and Phillies at various points this offseason. We discuss why Chicago's interest reads as due diligence rather than a clear pivot, how Bellinger fits their roster, and why prospect timelines complicate any reunion. From there, we focus on the Yankees, where Bellinger remains the top offseason priority and negotiations have escalated to a second formal offer. We break down the roster logjam his return would create, how it impacts Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones, and why a Bellinger deal could directly intersect with New York's pursuit of Edward Cabrera. Steve and Devin connect the dots across international markets, trade leverage, payroll pressure, and roster math, focusing less on headlines and more on what these developments reveal about how teams believe they need to be built to win in 2026. ⚾️ One signing changes the board, trade talks gain momentum, and leverage begins to shift.

The Toronto Blue Jays made a big and surprising move by signing 3B/1B Kozuma Okamoto to a 4-year $60 million contract. Justin and Patrick break down the deal and what it means for the roster, and whether or not this will stop the Jays from signing Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker. To start the episode, the guys look at the Hall of Fame Ballot Tracker.

Join Michael DiStefano and Keegan Matheson for Hour 1 on OverDrive! The guys discuss the Blue Jays' offseason outlook, the sweepstakes around Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker, the timeline of a signing and how the team is built for the 2026 season, Auston Matthews leading the Maple Leafs to a win against Winnipeg, chasing the Maple Leafs' goals record and the franchise's possible turnaround. TSN NFL Analyst Luke Willson on the Week 18 headlines, the Ravens and Steelers in the spotlight and the NFL picks.

Bienvenidos a Baseball News, el noticiero diario de Grandes Ligas en español ⚾

The Cubs are building their new bullpen out of hunks of the old Rangers' one, probably because the Rangers' was better than theirs last year. Oleg and Praz are here to talk about it, and to hear and old friend recount the last seconds of the Bears' OT win over the Packers, just for the hell of it. The guys discuss the Cubs bullpen strategy, try to figure out where the offense is going to come from and how badly Kyle Tucker's market would have to collapse for Jed to give him a call. They also talk starting pitching, Mugs Halas' exhumation and autopsy (seriously), why Chicago fans reflexively focus on how things could go wrong, and more.

Lance Brozdowski is joined by play-by-play announcer Alex Cohen on this week's episode of Cubs Weekly and they discuss free agent targets, Tatsuya Imai's looming deadline, an why Alex thinks the longer Kyle Tucker holds out, the limier he returns to the Cubs. They also identify what trade targets make the most sense for 2026.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are back for a special holiday edition! They kick off with a quick recap of the Toronto Blue Jays' offseason, discuss the team's plans in the position player market — be it Bo Bichette, Kyle Tucker or Alex Bregman — and share their favourite memories from the World Series and the Jays' unforgettable 2025 season. Then, they get into the team's need for a ninth-inning reliever, their trust in Ross Atkins and John Schneider moving forward, and whether the Jays' success can be sustained in 2026. Later, Jeff and Kevin take the temperature of the AL East as the Yankees stay quiet while the Orioles get aggressive. For the final word of 2025, the guys share some early 2026 World Series picks and project where Bichette will land.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

On their penultimate show, Marc Malusis and his co-host break down the "calous business" of the New York Mets' offseason following the departure of Pete Alonso. With the news of Alonso heading to the Orioles and Edwin Diaz out the door, Malusis demands to know why David Stearns and Steve Cohen—despite having the deepest pockets in baseball—refused to match a reasonable offer to keep the "Polar Bear" behind Juan Soto. The duo debates whether Stearns is a brilliant architect building a sustainable winner or a cold-hearted executive tearing down the clubhouse's soul. From the "skepticism" of the Mets' new casino-linked finances to the potential (and pitfalls) of a Kyle Tucker pursuit, Malusis leaves no stone unturned in this heated post-mortem of a franchise at a crossroads.

Cody and Vince are live with a brand new episode of Talkin' Blue, breaking down the latest Dodgers and MLB news. Mookie Betts has officially decided not to participate in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, with his wife expecting their third child around that time. We discuss Mookie's decision, what it means for Team USA, and why family always comes first. The Kyle Tucker market remains open, and we explore whether a short-term deal with a higher AAV could make sense. Is Tucker waiting things out, and could the Dodgers still be lurking? Tyler Glasnow also addressed recent trade rumors and shared his excitement about the idea of playing alongside Tarik Skubal if the Dodgers were to land him. We break down what that would mean for the rotation and whether the buzz has real legs. Plus, more WBC news, roster chatter, and live fan reactions throughout the show.
