Fantasy Baseball Live – December 14, 2025 – 1.Let's talk about your draft 2.What is the format – standard 15-team, BA, NO Draft and hold3.How did the first two rounds go?a.J-Rod - 6, Skubal - 7, Caminero - 9, De La Cruz – 10 (Down), Lindor – 13b.2nd Round – Gunnar, Vlad, Crochet, Kurtz, Schwarber4.How did your first handful of picks go?a.1st two picks – Tatis Jr. and Kyle Tuckerb.2nd – Woo and Wyatt Langfordc.3rd – Rice and Holidayd.4th – Baldwin and Brendan Woodruffe.5th – Matt Shaw and Addison Bargerf.6th – Lodolo and Drylan CrewsSegment 2 – News and Notes1.The Dodgers sign Edwin Diaz for three years and $69 milliona.Finally, the Dodgers get that lockdown closer they've been missing. Thoughts on the signing?b.The Mets signed Devin Williams as the supposed setup guy, but now he is the closer. Williams is the 11th best closer available. Is that too low, too high, or about right? Too high for Tim2.The Braves sign Robert Suarez for two-years and $16 million. They now have both Iglesias and Suarez manning the back of the bullpen. The Braves are saying that Iglesias will still be the Closer. Are you buying that? Tim says Iglesiasa.I'm assuming this kills the Mason Miller to the rotation?3.The Tigers re-sign Kyle Finnegan and then sign Kenley Jansen on Saturday to a one-year deal. Break down the Closer situation for the Tigers?a.Jansen – first, Vest, then Finnegan4.Kyle Schwarber signs back with the Phillies for 5 years and $150 million.a.What do you think of the deal?b.Do you believe the stories that the Pirates made a legitimate offer to Schwarber?c.The Orioles apparently offered him the same deal.5.The Orioles sign Pete Alonso to a 5-year, $155 million deal. Hmm. They've now signed two major right-handed power hitters. Clearly, that was an area they wanted to strengthen. What are your thoughts on the deal?a.Let's sort out the playing time for the Orioles' infield?b. Do you think this deal will age well for Alonso? His defensive metrics are already declining, ranking as one of the least effective first basemen. When will he move to the DH role?6.The Mets respond to losing Alonso and sign Jorge Polanco to a two-year $40 million contract.a.Does he slide into the Mets starting DH? Did you like this trade off – Polanco for two years vs. Alonso for 5-years and 30 million a year?7.The Royals sign Lane Thomas to a one-year, $5.25 million deal. Can he bounce back to the player he was in 2023 when he hit 28 home runs and stole 20 bags?Segment 3 – Catcher Ranking for 2026 Season1.How are you approaching this position for your upcoming drafts?2.We will break down the top 15 to 20 in detail. Then, go through 20 to 30 in less detail. We will end by jumping around the remaining ranked players.3.Which player not in the Top 10 has a chance to emerge there next season?4.Which Top 10 player will not be there next season?5.Give me a couple of sleepers6.Give me one, maybe two guys you are just going to avoid drafting?Close
A few months ago, when a sportswriter published an article in The New York Times about an unusual and “revolutionary” practice method that NBA star Victor Wembanyama and other elite athletes and teams (like the World Series-winning LA Dodgers) were utilizing, I started getting emails from musicians, asking if this method, known as the “constraints-led approach,” might apply to practicing music too.So what is the constraints-led approach? And is it relevant to musicians?Spoiler alert - yes, it totally is.
In the “Pete Rose episode,” Dan Fox and Frank Knight open with baseball—and the conversation turns quickly into a full-on Mets identity check. With Pete Alonso gone, Nimmo traded for Marcus Semien, and Edwin Díaz landing with the Dodgers, Frank tries to keep the panic in check: it's “wait-and-see” season in Queens. The guys debate whether this is a strategic reset or the start of a rebuild, whether committee platoons (including Jeff McNeil) can really work, and whether the Mets should push hard for Juan Soto now or wait for free agency—assuming Uncle Stevie's wallet stays open.Over in Philly, Dan reacts to the Phillies bringing back Kyle Schwarber on a five-year deal, weighing the short-term upside (power, leadership, clubhouse presence) against the long-term risk of paying for past performance. Alan checks in on the Yankees' unusually quiet offseason, including the debate around keeping Cody Bellinger—a versatile glove with a left-handed swing made for the short porch.Then it's college football mayhem: Penn State's coaching change, Ole Miss fallout, Lane Kiffin's “big-leagues vs. king-of-the-program” decision, and the Michigan scandal that has everyone asking what the program does next. The crew also takes a hard shot at Notre Dame's independence, arguing you can't complain about playoff politics while refusing to join a conference.Finally, the episode closes with Fox Brothers Alarms, the empty inbox (again), a Survivor Pool update that now includes a Week 18 tiebreaker plan, and a pivot into the Week 14 NFL recap—anchored by a quick historical nod to December 7th as “a day that will live in infamy.”Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/Roof Top Innovations the leading Roofing Company in Waco, Tomball surrounding areasWe focus on all types of roofing systems, with a focus on the best quality possible.
Today’s show was packed with big wins, big concerns, and big energy across Los Angeles. Cadillac Pasadena proved to be a major success as we looked ahead to holiday traffic patterns with Angel, breaking down what drivers should expect as the season ramps up. Investigative reporter Michael Monks joined the conversation with urgent updates on the LAPD, warning that the department could be forced to halt hiring without millions in additional funding. He also shared the heartbreaking story of a family that lost both their home and business in devastating fires, with a full deep-dive interview airing on his KFI show this Saturday night. In a surprising turn, the Los Angeles City Council moved forward with a million-dollar proposal to boost LAPD recruiting, narrowly advancing the measure in a contentious vote. And to cap it all off, Dodger Stadium is officially buzzing — the Dodgers introduced Edwin “Sugar” Díaz, setting the stage for an electric season as Timmy Trumpet and “Sweet Sugar” promise to light up Chavez Ravine. A must-listen episode blending local triumphs, hard truths, and pure LA hype.

The offseason officially rolls on for the Chase for 28 crew, but optimism is in short supply. In Episode 117, Chris, the Podcast Padre, and the Podcast Paisan return to break down a Yankees winter that feels frozen in time. From the shocking qualifying offer acceptance by Trent Grisham to the continued reliance on analytics over fundamentals, the guys question whether Brian Cashman and the front office truly understand what this team needs to win in October.The conversation spans roster construction, positional logjams, and the growing frustration of running back essentially the same team. They debate Volpe's future, Ben Rice's role, the impossibility of moving Giancarlo Stanton's contract, and whether the Yankees are leaning too heavily on pitching to mask offensive flaws. Add in lockout speculation, ownership spending concerns, Asian market rumors, and a lively trivia debate, and this episode captures exactly how uneasy Yankees fans feel heading into 2026.Key Topics DiscussedWhy the Yankees made (and lost) the Trent Grisham qualifying offer gambleHow MLB qualifying offers work—and why this one backfiredHas baseball passed Brian Cashman by?Analytics vs. “using your eyes” in roster decisionsThe Yankees' youth movement paradox: Domínguez, Jones, Volpe, WellsBen Rice as catcher or first baseman—and the ripple effectsLefty-heavy lineups, balance, and Yankee Stadium roster philosophyFrustrations with bottom-of-the-lineup productionDebating contact hitters vs. power-first approachesAsian market targets: Murakami, Okamoto, Imai, and posting-system realitiesGiancarlo Stanton's contract and the need to free the DH spotPitching reliance: Cole's age, Rodón's value, and rotation trustLockout speculation and the Dodgers changing the financial landscapeAre the Yankees still true AL East favorites?Yankees Trivia

More Post-Dispatch podcasts. Please consider subscribing. Back from Orlando, Florida, and the annual Winter Meetings and into the chill of St. Louis, Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold shares with editor Nathan Mills what he learned about the Cardinals stoking the hot stove for a busy few weeks heading toward the holidays. The Cardinals gave a glimpse into their enhanced scouting staff and expanded view of the marketplace as well as revealed how they may look to add the same roles they've been looking to trade and what traits they're seeking in the pitchers they continue to collect. The Brendan Donovan market is so strong that other teams are wondering what they can get for their infielders. The Willson Contreras market is starting to take shape, but will it matter if he won't accept a trade? And the Nolan Arenado market is going to be slower to develop. All of that, plus Mills sternly rebukes Goold's suggestion that the Dodgers go ahead and get it over and just trade for Mr. and Mrs. Met already and complete the Edwin Diaz trumpet-blaring entry into the ninth inning. There is also an unexpected power ranking of mascots. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.
From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Brandon Nimmo. Edwin Diaz. And now Pete Alonso. The players who were a big part of the Mets' foundation for so many years are now gone, leaving Mets fans in a quandary. Fortunately, we have Producer Evan to give us the what's what on the vibes of the New York team's fan base after the Winter Meetings, which saw Diaz go to the Dodgers and Alonso sign with Baltimore. It's a perfect opportunity for our guy to vent. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In this special "Days of Roar" bonus episode, Evan Petzold welcomes USA TODAY Sports MLB columnist and insider Bob Nightengale to recap MLB's Winter Meetings in Orlando. Evan and Bob discuss the biggest storyline of the 2025-26 offseason: Will the Detroit Tigers trade Tarik Skubal, and if not, where will the back-to-back American League Cy Young winner sign after the 2026 season — with 10 years, $450 million as the expectation? Do the Tigers have a chance to sign Alex Bregman if his market collapses again, or is he destined to return to the Boston Red Sox, even on another short-term contract? At the Winter Meetings, Kyle Schwarber signed with the Philadelphia Phillies, Edwin Díaz signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pete Alonso signed with the Baltimore Orioles. What happens to free-agent position players such as Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, Bo Bichette, and what about free-agent pitchers like Framber Valdez, Tatsuya Imai and Ranger Suarez? For more on the Tigers, Evan and Bob discuss the chances of the Tigers winning the AL Central in 2026 — and what moves the Tigers need to have a chance to win the World Series.

Sports Radio Personality Joe Benigno calls in to react to the current dire state of the Mets team and the management decisions made by owner Steve Cohen and David Stearns, following Pete Alonso's move to Baltimore to join the Orioles. Despite expectations from Cohen's wealth, Benigno expresses disappointment, arguing the team is being run like a small market franchise. He recounts various poor trades and signings, such as letting go of key players like Edwin Diaz and signing underperforming ones like Frankie Montas. Benigno draws parallels to past mismanagement and asserts a deep-seated frustration with the direction of the team, going so far as to label Cohen's ownership a fraud. He laments the state of the franchise, comparing it unfavorably to other teams like the Dodgers and Phillies, and expresses a desire for significant changes. Learn more about your ad choices.
