We kick off the week with Stephen Brunt after hosting a writers festival in NFLD and then over to the Jays stunning series in New York and why the Toronto offence is near impossible to figure out night after night. Expectations were high for Vlad and Bo and while Vlad might finish the season with solid numbers, Bo never got out of his funk and now his future does not feel settled. Later, Jon Morosi joins the show from Yankees Stadium with the Mets in town and attempts to figure out how bad the Yankees actually are. Then an update on the AL Playoff race and which teams might be able to sign Michael Conforto.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 affiliate. 

As Tony La Russa and White Sox management correct some issues and see results, there are a few storylines you may not immediately notice that could have a big impact on how the team does in the stretch run. The usage of Lance Lynn, Dylan Cease and other pitchers asks if they are judged by innings pitched over pitches thrown. We'll talk about a small trend with bigger implications. We are also joined by Tim Moran of SoxOn35th.com to discuss an old hot stove friend resurfaced: Michael Conforto. Brought to you by Family Waterproofing Solutions! Listen. Subscribe. Share.

They get into the current Yankees' hot start and whether they believe in the Mets. The duo gives out which team is their real deal and which team/player is fool's gold. They also dive into what's in their notebook, which includes Reds pitchers on the trading block, whether Michael Conforto plays with a team this year and Aaron Judge's future contract.

Scott Boras suggests that Michael Conforto might make a late-season comeback as a hitter-only. Is it even worth it and would any team sign him? The Marlins have a steady cop of young arms and there seems to be another one on the way. Johnny Cueto is back in the big leagues and made a strong impression in his White Sox debut.

Today's word of the day is ‘sweep' as in get the brooms as in 0 wins as in 4 losses as in the Brooklyn Nets have gotten swept by the Boston Celtics. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Steve Nash, no Ben Simmons… see ya! Half season Kyrie Irving. Bad back Ben Simmons. Steve Nash sleep walking on the sidelines. The Boston Celtics were the better TEAM. Complete team. Jayson Tatum was the best player on the floor each night. Ime Udoka coached circles around Steve Nash. Just, wow! (16:10) Elon Musk is buying Twitter for $44B. Forty-four billion dollars. What does the future of Twitter look like? Why would he do this? Why overpay for this? (31:30) Review: Friday. (35:30) Angel Hernandez is bad at his job. He is the worst of the worst of umpires in MLB. Why can't the league fire him? Every player of past and present would probably want it done. (45:55) Michael Conforto signed on with Scott Boras this offseason. Michael Conforto turned down a qualifying offer from the Mets. No one signed him. Now he's getting surgery and will miss the season. Horrible.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Yankees fans got into it with Guardians outfielders at the end of the Yankees walk-off victory. Michael Conforto is still a free agent but he won't be signing any time soon because he had shoulder surgery. How much money did Conforto leave on the table before this injury happened?

News has come out via agent Scott Boras that free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto suffered a shoulder injury during a workout back in January. Does that sound like a load of bullshit to you? Then, we're falling a little behind on show bits compared to some of the other larger markets around the country. If the White Sox win the World Series, what should we make Shane do? Because God forbid Danny put himself on the line for anything. And, how would you feel about getting a DM from someone that starts off as an insult, transitions to a compliment and then ends with a request? Our listeners be WILDIN'.

A San Francisco Giants offense that was already looking questionable is without two of its likely Opening Day starters. LaMonte Wade Jr. and Evan Longoria will start the season on the injured list. Where should the Giants go from here? Neither injury looks to be extremely serious, with Longoria having a minor surgery on his right index finger that will lead to him immobilizing the finger for at least 10 days. Wade Jr. has swelling and a bone bruise in his knee, and he will be re-evaluated in 10 days. It's not like the Giants to make big, reactionary moves in a panic, so don't expect major changes because of these injuries. However, it's clear that the Giants' depth is already being stretched thin and the season hasn't even started. Michael Conforto is still a free agent, José Ramírez may be available in a trade, and there are several other options the Giants could turn to in order to fill these voids. Also discussed is the announcement that Logan Webb will be the Giants' Opening Day starter. For Webb, he joins other homegrown starters such as Madison Bumgarner, Tim Lincecum, and Matt Cain to get the Opening Day nod. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Bernstein also shared stories from his weekend trip to Circa Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Later, the show voiced its concerns over the White Sox's roster, which feels incomplete.

In the second hour, Dan Bernstein and Leila Rahimi welcomed on Score baseball analyst Cody Decker to share his opinion on the White Sox's roster. Decker also projected the Cubs to trade catcher Willson Contreras sooner rather than later. Later, Bernstein and Rahimi conducted the Midday Midway, which included reaction to a bizarre incident at the Oscars between Will Smith and Chris Rock.

It's a make-or-break month for Mauricio Dubón and Tyler Beede. The San Francisco Giants have several out-of-options players who must perform, or risk being traded or designated for assignment. On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers questions from listners about the state of the SF Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: How many of the fringe players without options will make the team? Any trades that you see with the ones that don't make it, or do they just get DFA'd? Thoughts on LaMonte Wade Jr. building off of last year? Or will he come back down to earth in 2022? Why aren't teams signing Michael Conforto? He's coming off one bad year in which the underlying metrics still looked good. He should be willing to accept a short, prove it deal. At this point would you say the Giants are out on him given the Joc Pederson addition? Should we be concerned about the lineup after not much additions during free agency, and the loss of Buster Posey, Kris Bryant, and Donovan Solano?

1. I bring out the Stats Scouting Notebook from 1998. I talk about how I started my love of prospects, and how until now I had not realized that one of the people I give the most credit for helping shape my interest: Jim Callis was also the writer of every prospect section in the book. We have some fun with old stats, but save the reports for another day. 2. The Bryan Shaw contract has been reported and I am blown away by how much he got and how much he could make. It was reported he got 3 million dollars to start with a chance to make up to 9 million. This is for a player no other team seemed to want from a team that has been unwilling to spend money. 3. We talk about why Michael Conforto is the last free agent standing and why he is not a likely fit for the Guardians. Then we talk about why the lack of anything from the Guardians is infuriating and rightfully so for most fans. We talk about all the reasons why the Guardians should have more money to spend and give a plausible reason why they have not engaged in the market yet. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

For an SF Giants team in need of more thump, why not Michael Conforto? Yes, he would add to an already crowded left-handed outfield mix, but the addition of the DH in the National League should make the fit possible. LaMonte Wade Jr. could play left, Mike Yastrzemski could play center, and Conforto could play right against right-handed pitching. This would allow Joc Pederson so slide into the DH spot on most days against righties. Darin Ruf might not get his opportunity to be an everyday player right away, but is that really such a bad thing? He would be their top weapon off the bench every single night, and he would hit in the middle of the lineup every time they face a lefty. Against lefties, Ruf could start in left, Austin Slater in center, and Conforto in right (as one of the Giants' few everyday players, along with Brandon Belt, Brandon Crawford, and Evan Longoria). ESPN predicted when the offseason began that Conforto would command a three-year, $51 million deal, which host Ben Kaspick thinks is extremely reasonable for a player of his caliber, particularly given that he's just 29 years old. Ben thinks a deal like that with multiple opt outs could make sense for both sides. A one-year deal is also a possibility at this point for Conforto, who has some questions about his vaccination status, which could be holding up his market. Teams in the AL East are wary of signing unvaccinated players, since they won't be allowed to travel to Toronto under current Canadian law. One more consideration: Conforto rejected the qualifying offer from the Mets, meaning he would cost the Giants their second-highest draft pick in 2022 (roughly 65th overall). Ben thinks that shouldn't be prohibitive and that Conforto should still be a priority. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Hour 1:   Boomer is losing his voice as he has had a cold for a few days now. He opens the show talking about the NHL trade deadline. We all panic. Gio quickly pivots to the NFL and Matt Ryan being traded to the Colts and Boomer's former roommate and teammate Frank Reich. Gio asks Boomer, who would you rather have, Baker Mayfield or____? Jerry starts his update with NFL signings including Matt Ryan to the Colts and Marcus Mariotta to the Falcons. The Nets won last night and Jerry has sound from Ian Eagle. Boomer sneaks in a comment about the vaccine mandates potentially being lifted this Thursday, which would be great news for Kyrie as well as the Mets and Yankees. Jerry has more play by play and postgame comments from around the NBA. Would Lebron be a distraction if he was at your wedding? The Athletic says Urban Meyer had no idea who Aaron Donald was. Max Scherzer said it was great pitching for the Mets yesterday. Letter from MLB to the Yankees about sign stealing will be released in 2 weeks. Final segment of the hour starts with a rumor that new Jets tight end C.J. Uzomah is dating NFL Network's Kay Adams. CJ says his girlfriend is not happy about the rumors. Gio thinks he could ‘run over' Damon Amendola. Boomer says no way. Gio then tries to guess how old some famous people are.    Hour 2:   The 7am hour begins with talk of QBs and the upcoming NFL draft. Gio says there doesn't seem to be a big name in this draft. Boomer talks about watching QB Kenny Pickett's pro day yesterday. Which teams need to draft a QB this year? Giants will try to win with Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor. Jerry returns for an update. Gio tells us that Mike Francesa is starting a new podcast. Gio wonders if Anthony Gallo is going to work for him. Jerry's update starts with Matt Ryan to the Colts. The Nets beat the Jazz last night. Jerry says the Nets have a problem closing out games. Jerry has more from around the NBA. Jerry plays a clip from Sal Licata last night when a caller talked about guys putting things in other guy's lockers. In the final segment of the hour, they discuss Max Scherzer throwing 72 pitches yesterday, which seems like a lot. They also discuss deGrom and his future earnings. Nobody has signed Michael Conforto yet. Gio blames Scott Boras for that because he's unrealistic.    Hour 3:   The 8am hour begins with Gio talking about someone in the financial world who quit Twitter because of the negativity. Gio wants to have someone else run his Twitter. He spends too much time on Twitter and it's unhealthy. Boomer segues into Deshaun Watson's contract and how it covers him for his sure to be upcoming suspension. Boomer said he tweeted about this and it was misinterpreted by some on Twitter. Jerry returns with another update. The Falcons put out a video of Matt Ryan as an homage to his career with them. The Falcons sign Marcus Mariota. The Nets beat the Jazz last night. We are confused about ker-bangers and ben wa balls. Jacob deGrom will pitch for the Mets today. Yesterday, Max Scherzer threw 72 pitches which seems like a lot. They quiz Al to see if he can name over 20 types of balls. He does it. Final segment of the hour, we discuss the rumor that NY will drop the vaccine mandates this coming Thursday, which would be great for Kyrie and the Nets as well as the Mets & Yankees. We also talk about NFL QBs and the salaries and how much teams are willing to pay.    Hour 4: We start the hour talking about the Browns and Deshaun Watson and his contract. Boomer looks at that contract and wonders what the Ravens will do with Lamar Jackson. The Browns have gone through tons of QBs over the years. Boomer thinks Matt Ryan will do well with the Colts. Boomer likes the Jets offseason moves so far. There has been a lot of QB movement in the NFL and we're not done yet. Baker Mayfield will go somewhere. The Deshaun Watson contract shows how desperate the Browns are. Jerry's back for his final update of the day. Leonard Fournette is headed back to the Bucs. Gene Deckerhoff, the voice of the Bucs and Florida State, announces his retirement. KD and the Nets beat the Jazz and Jerry has audio from Ian Eagle. Max Scherzer pitched for the Mets yesterday and he reacted to that. Final segment on this Tuesday, we talk about Al Michaels to Amazon and how Kevin Burkhardtwill now be the number one guy at Fox. A caller said he thinks he saw the Tom Seaver statue on the back of a truck headed up to Citi Field. Boomer is pissed it took the Mets this long to get a statue for Seaver. 

Hour 2:   The 7am hour begins with talk of QBs and the upcoming NFL draft. Gio says there doesn't seem to be a big name in this draft. Boomer talks about watching QB Kenny Pickett's pro day yesterday. Which teams need to draft a QB this year? Giants will try to win with Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor. Jerry returns for an update. Gio tells us that Mike Francesa is starting a new podcast. Gio wonders if Anthony Gallo is going to work for him. Jerry's update starts with Matt Ryan to the Colts. The Nets beat the Jazz last night.

Nobody has signed Michael Conforto yet. Gio blames Scott Boras for that because he's unrealistic.

Tim and Ted are fast forwarding through Spring Training. Max Scherzer looks ready to go and the Mets traded for starter Chris Bassitt, but is the club not doing enough to keep up with the rest of the National League East. Also, is there still a chance Michael Conforto returns to Queens?

Josh and Jim contemplate how the Chicago White Sox stack up against the best teams in both the American League and Major League Baseball. With the Los Angeles Dodgers signing Freddie Freeman, they are the clear favorites to win the World Series. How far away are the White Sox? And would signing Michael Conforto help bridge the talent gap?  They also remember Pete Ward, who passed away on March 17th. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The White Sox missed out on Kris Bryant. Are you happy with the way this current lineup is constructed or should a bunch of money be thrown at Nick Castellanos or Michael Conforto?

What's left for the San Francisco Giants? Seiya Suzuki and Kyle Schwarber signed new deals this morning, neither with the Giants. Suzuki ended up landing a five-year, $85 million deal from the Cubs ($100M with posting fees), and Schwarber got 4/$79 million from the Phillies. Where do the SF Giants go from here? On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick details the state of the free agent market. He analyzes the trends in the market so far: it's generally been inflated, with players signing for far more years and higher AAV's than predicted. He explores the remaining free agent market, and goes into detail on players like Tommy Pham, Joc Pederson, and Jorge Soler. He also reiterates that Michael Conforto, Kris Bryant, Nick Castellanos, and perhaps even Trevor Story continue to make sense for the Giants. Farhan Zaidi said yesterday that Tommy La Stella may miss the beginning of the season while rehabbing Achilles surgery, so the Giants are targeting a second baseman. There are lots of options on the free agent market, with varying degrees of talent available. Finally, he explores the fantasy of the Giants signing Carlos Correa or Freddie Freeman. It's hard to see the fit for either player, but they're both special talents worth exploring. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Kris Bryant. Kyle Schwarber. Michael Conforto. Nick Castellanos. Trevor Story. Seiya Suzuki. The Giants seem poised to end up with at least one of these big-name bats—but which one? On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick breaks down each of the six remaining big-name hitters that could make sense for the San Francisco Giants. Bryant is indeed a big name, but Ben thinks his general decline is a major concern, especially when Bryant's contract is predicted to be in the 6-7 year range for over $20 million per season. Schwarber and Conforto make a lot of sense for the Giants, for different reasons. Schwarber is coming off a monster offensive season that looks sustainable. However, he's not a great defender and may be best suited for DH duties. Is that worth a multi-year commitment for $15M+? Conforto is coming off a down year and is looking to rebuild value; the Giants may seize the opportunity to buy low on a player who has been well-above-average for several years prior to 2021 and is still just 29 years old. Castellanos is an impact bat but questionable defender, and Ben thinks his tendency to chase out of the zone will be a turnoff for this front office. The same can be said about Story, who also has a tendency to swing aggressively, but he is an elite runner who could potentially play center field well if he's willing to change positions. An elbow injury, however, is a concern. Suzuki may be the real prize, given his very modeset predicted contract and the potential to be an impact bat. Ben thinks Suzuki, Schwarber and Conforto represent the best potential fits for the SF Giants. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Record Date: 3/13/2022 The Chicago White Sox have been busy post-lockout. They continue adding more relievers to their pitching staff, signing Joe Kelly and Vince Velasquez. To help at second base, veteran Josh Harrison was added to the fold. While these three signings support the White Sox with depth, we are still waiting for Rick Hahn to pull off the major move. Do the White Sox have it in them to bring an impact player like Michael Conforto? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Carlos Rodón, Carlos Martínez, and Jakob Junis are San Francisco Giants. When the lockout ended, the Giants' pitching staff looked solid, but lacked a front-line arm to pair with Logan Webb. Rodón fills that void, as he has the upside of a true ace. With a starting five seemingly in place, it was still a group that looked particularly vulnerable to potential injuries. Enter Martínez and Junis, who represent a nice secondary layer of depth. This is how the Giants built out their staff last season, and it worked exceptionally well. Now that the starting staff looks well equipped, with Webb, Rodón, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, and Alex Cobb leading the group (a couple more additions may be necessary), the Giants can turn their attention to the position-player segment of the market. Several very good option remain: Carlos Correa, Freddie Freeman, Trevor Story, Seiya Suzuki, Nick Castellanos, Kyle Schwarber, Kris Bryant, Tommy Pham, and Michael Conforto among them. Ben thinks there's a pretty good chance at least one of those players is wearing an SF Giants uniform in 2022. Finally, Ben looks at the Giants' under-the-radar pickup of José Godoy off waivers. Godoy becomes the Giants' third catcher on the 40-man roster, an important position to be in behind the unproven Joey Bart and veteran Curt Casali. If there's an injury or if Bart struggles, the Giants will need to rely on their next-in-line catchers, an area in which they were lacking after everyone moved up on the depth chart following Buster Posey's somewhat unexpected retirement.
