Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael King

The Chicago White Sox made a surprising signing right before Christmas when they agreed to a deal with Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami. As his posting window was nearing a close, there was a thought that the big-time power bat might not find a team. However, Murakami will be taking his power stroke to the South Side.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz is joined by special guest host Dani Wexelman as they break down the two-year, $34 million deal that will send the two-time Central League MVP to Chicago on a very much prove-it deal. They wonder how so many in the baseball world got his posting window wrong and what it could mean when he becomes a free agent at the age of 28.Later, Jake and Dani talk about a flurry of moves that have gone on in baseball, including the Boston Red Sox trading for St. Louis Cardinals catcher Wilson Contreras, the New York Mets parting ways with another franchise staple and a wild three-team trade. They then get into the A's extending Tyler Soderstrom and the San Diego Padres bringing back Michael King before making their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.1:28 – The Opener: Murakami to the White Sox20:32 – Around the League: Red Sox trade for Contreras30:10 – Mets trade away Jeff McNeil36:20 – Three-team trade48:28 – Turbo Mode: Signings and an extension57:23 – The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald to discuss a three-way trade headlined by Brandon Lowe to Pittsburgh, Mike Burrows to Houston and Tampa Bay acquiring prospects. Other topics include the recent Shane Baz trade, whether the Rays plan on competing in 2026, why the Orioles gave up so much to acquire Baz, what led Munetaka Murakami to settle for a two-year deal with the White Sox, the Cardinals trading Willson Contreras to the Red Sox, whether Boston will sign a big free agent, Michael King's three-year deal with the Padres, and the Mets sending Jeff McNeil to the A's. 

In Episode 515, Patrick, Jeffrey and Craig corect the record, chat about Death in Paradise, and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.  1. Trading Places: Boston and St. Louis make another deal, and the Rays love a three-team mixer.2. There is no such thing as a free agency: Michael King heads back to San Diego, Murakami is ticketed for the South Side, and P)aul Blackburn keeps his NYC apartment.3. Dreaming Through Tokyo Skies: Fare thee well, Austin Wynans...er, Austin Winnens, er, you know who this is. 4. It's the holidays, so you get double the games. First a very special lightning round...5. ...and then Craig gets to complain about his wifi again.Five and Dive is listener-supported, you can join our Patreon at patreon.com/fiveanddive.

On this week's episode, we begin by discussing this week's big free agent deals, including Merrill Kelly, Ha-Seong Kim, and Michael King re-upping with the Diamondbacks, Braves, and Padres, and Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami shockingly ending up with the White Sox. From there, we give our thoughts Wilson Contreras being moved to the Red Sox, recap the three-team trade between the Astros, Rays, and Pirates that saw Brandon Lowe and Michael Burrows on the move, and analyze Shane Baz being moved to the Orioles. To wrap up, we go through a trio of Phillies moves, the Giants adding Adrian Houser, and Team UA loading up their rotation.

The offseason continues to take shape, and Episode 125 of Tablesetters brings together a week where the market didn't explode — but it definitely shifted. We open with Munetaka Murakami landing with the White Sox, a short-term signing that reflects how teams are weighing upside against risk and flexibility. It's a move that raises questions about fit, timeline, and what both sides are really betting on as Murakami makes the jump to MLB. From there, the trade market comes into focus. Brandon Lowe heads to Pittsburgh, a deal that signals intent without locking the Pirates into long-term risk. At the same time, Baltimore adds Shane Baz, continuing to behave like a team that believes its competitive window is very real — and very open. Those moves create ripple effects elsewhere. The Rays once again load up on future assets, the Blue Jays and Diamondbacks monitor the Alex Bregman market, and San Diego opts for continuity, keeping Michael King in the fold while adding Sung-Mun Song. We also touch on Kansas City's bullpen move, another reminder of how aggressively teams are trying to solve late-inning depth. We wrap with listener interaction, breaking down the latest USA First Base debate, where the results were decisive — and revealing in terms of how our audience value upside, age, and track record heading into the next international cycle. Steve and Devin connect the dots across signings, trades, and market behavior, keeping the focus on process over headlines as the offseason continues to evolve. ⚾️ Measured bets, shifting leverage, and trade dominoes starting to fall — winter baseball is officially underway.

With roughly three months until the start of the 2026 World Baseball Classic, Team USA's pitching rotation just got a huge bump as they go for their second championship in the tournament. Tarik Skubal was announced as the latest starting pitcher added to the roster, and adding the reigning AL Cy Young might be the biggest addition they've had yet.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the impressive rotation that has been assembled behind Skubal, which includes NL reigning Cy Young award winner Paul Skenes, Joe Ryan and Logan Webb. The biggest question now is how Team USA manager Mark DeRosa will use some of the game's biggest arms in order to try to shut down any competition that comes their way.Later, Jake and Jordan talk about some more free-agent signings that have gone down, including the San Diego Padres bringing back Michael King on a three-year deal, the New York Mets adding another former reliever from the New York Yankees and the possibility of Alex Bregman joining the Arizona Diamondbacks. The guys then make their picks for this week's edition of The Good, The Bad and The Uggla.1:01 – The Opener: Tarik Skubal joins Team USA27:12 – Scott Boras Scoreboard update32:16 – Around the League: Murakami, Bregman updates41:50 – Reliever market news53:08 – Padres re-sign Michael King1:02:38 – The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Note: this podcast was recorded LIVE for the patrons of Padres Hot Tub literally minutes after the announcement of the signing of Michael King, on the PHT Discord. You can be part of the fun (which included a hint on the platform hours in advance that a move was coming) and future live broadcasts by supporting our independent production at patreon.com/padreshottubON THE SHOW: Craig Elsten and Chris Reed are joined by a jubilant and suddenly-gathered group of PHT patrons to discuss the announcement that staff ace Michael King is coming back to the club on a new free agent deal! The contract includes a 12M signing bonus, 5M salary for 2026, and player options at 28M and 30M for 2027 and 2028, with a 5M buyout if King opts out the first season. Needless to say, this sparks discussion about the (erroneous?) reporting that the Padres didn't have money to spend, the idea of a King-Pivetta-Musgrove top of the rotation, and the idea that AJ Preller may now have strategic flexibility to make a trade if he has to. Recorded live just after 8pm PST on 12/18/25 live for our patrons on our PHT Discord Group Therapy stage!

Reacting to Michael King's deal with the Padres, Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney map out where the Cubs could go from here. The two beat writers from The Athletic share what they heard on King, as well as their insights on Tatsuya Imai and Zac Gallen, two other starters who have been repeatedly linked to the Cubs.

It's time for a Friday edition of Glenn Clark Radio, we'll be getting you ready for the weekend as we put some final touches on our preview of Sunday Night Football when the Ravens host the Patriots, good news at practice as many banged up players returned to the field including Lamar Jackson. Another potential FA pitching target of the Orioles is off the board and we'll recap a wild TNF game in Seattle last night.

At 11:40am, Stan ‘The Fan' Charles will catch up with us virtually to help send us into the weekend, we'll talk some Orioles with Stan, what's next for the Orioles after Michael King decided to return to San Diego late last night as well as seeing some bullpen depth arms disappear off the market throughout the week as well, plus we'll allow Stan to give his breakdown of SNF between the Ravens and Patriots. All that and lots more on a Friday edition of the program.

The Orioles missed out on Michael King in free agency. He's heading back to San Diego on a very hefty three-year contract. Is the starting pitcher market getting too inflated for the O's?

Tony, Chris, and Skraby opened the show talking about Michael King reportedly still being pursued by the Padres. We also had a Big 5 and...the guys took forever to finish!

The Orioles have been linked to Michael King in free agency along with the Red Sox and Yankees. Nolan McGraw says the idea of outbidding fellow AL East foes is attractive, but he's not convinced King would provide what they need.

Co-hosts Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam discuss the latest rumors involving Alex Bregman, who is reportedly talking to the Diamondbacks about leaving Boston for Arizona. The writers also get into the Red Sox' reported interest in Michael King and analyze the unusual Monday trade that sent a pitching prospect to the Nationals for ... another pitching prospect.

In today's episode of the Yankees Nation Podcast, Brian and Ryan covered:- Amed Rosario returns- Yankees Rule 5 pick- Where Yankees stand with Imai, Bellinger- Yankees' Michael King interest- Pete Alonso to Orioles

BT unleashes a fiery critique of the Yankees' slow-moving offseason, warning that the assumed return of Cody Bellinger is a false assumption and a major threat to the team's success. With a long list of young, unproven position players like Jazz Chisholm, Ben Rice, and a potential "strikeout machine" in Ryan McMahon, Tierney argues the lineup is riddled with holes. The more pressing concern, according to BT, is a disaster start: with Cole, Rodón, and Schmidt all recovering, the rotation is dangerously thin. Tierney urges the Yankees to forget big-bat spending and execute a "radical reset" by loading up on pitching depth (like signing Michael King or trading for Peralta) to ensure they don't "drown in April or May" against a rapidly improving, aggressive AL East (Jays, O's, Red Sox). The ultimate message: the path to winning is no longer through hitting, but through a surplus of elite arms.

Ed and Jeremy took some time from the third hour of Tuesday's to discuss the rumors surround the O's and free agent pitcher Michael King. Reports are that the O's will have to big against the Yankees and Red Sox for King's services, but is that the guy that the O's should be focused on?

Alex Bregman's future in Boston is hanging in the balance and the pressure on the Red Sox is mounting. On this episode, we break down missing out on Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso and what it means for re signing Bregman. We dig into the latest trade talks around Jarren Duran and Cole Ragans and explore what a realistic return for Duran would look like. We also discuss the possibility of adding Ketel Marte, what it would take, and how it could impact Bregman's future. Finally, we recap the Luis Perales for Jake Bennett trade and evaluate free agent pitching targets Michael King and Evan Phillips. All of that and more on 310 To Left presented by your New England Ford Dealers, hosted by Alanna Rizzo & Lou Merloni ft. Rob Bradford.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): News and rumors have calmed since the Winter Meetings, but Gordo, Sammy, and Pat have their eyes on a report that shows the Red Sox interest in Willson Contreras. Does the current Cardinals' first baseman fit in the Boston and how likely is a deal to get done? Also, Contreras could be the better bat to include in the lineup over Kazuma Okamoto and Eugenio Suarez. And, a show-wide denial of trading Marcelo Mayer for Ketel Marte and if Michael King would fit on the 2026 roster.

Ben & Woods open the 7am hour by talking a little more Padres baseball, and how the team will have to replace whatever production they got in 2025 from Dylan Cease, Michael King, Yu Darvish, Ryan Bergert, Stephen Kolek, etc. and it doesn't look super great right now. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before the guys discuss a tragic story out of Hollywood last night as Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered in their LA home. Listen here

BT unleashes his frustration over the disappointing 2025 MLB offseason for both the Yankees and Mets, comparing the lack of major moves to a "snowball fight" that never materialized. He dissects the confusing state of both New York cores, noting the scarcity of solidified positions for either club. Tierney lays out the Yankees' dilemma: relying on a "phenomenal" rotation (Cole, Freed, Schlittler, McClain) while simultaneously "praying" that the price doesn't go up on Cody Bellinger. He argues that acquiring only a pitcher like Michael King is not an acceptable plan. For the Mets, the chaos is clearer: a dismantled core with "a million questions" at every turn, including the ongoing possibility of a Francisco Lindor trade and the debate over the future of prospects like Ben Rice at first base. BT concludes that the clock is running out, and a "very dark and very empty offseason" is becoming a frightening reality for New York baseball.

BT & Sal turn up the heat on the Mets' sluggish offseason, ripping the team's obsession with pursuing former Yankees like Michael King and calling King as a "top rotation target" "nowhere near enough." The discussion barrels into the contentious Pete Alonso negotiations. Sal criticizes Pete for personally attending the Winter Meetings to shop himself to teams like the Red Sox and Orioles, seeing it as "beneath him" and a sign the Mets' leverage play is frustrating their star. They argue the Mets' alleged three-year offer is absurd, especially if Alonso is on pace to hit 500 career home runs, potentially making him a Hall of Famer—a point BT strongly debates. The segment also touches on the impact of Kyle Schwarber's market and ends with a hilarious digression into obscure baseball slang like "dry humping" (warming up a pitcher who never enters the game) and players referring to runs as "points."

BT & Sal ignite the hot stove discussion, questioning the Mets' fixation on former Yankees, specifically reporting Michael King as their "top rotation target." Sal fears GM David Stearns is setting a dangerous precedent by avoiding long-term deals for top pitchers like Tatsuya Imai. They tackle the Pete Alonso saga, wondering if his personal attendance at the Winter Meetings is a sign of a weak market, and if the Red Sox's pursuit of Alex Bregman (for defense) further complicates Pete's quest for a long-term deal. The conversation heats up around Kyle Schwarber, with BT arguing for him as a priority DH target to add consistent power, and they debate if the Mets' focus on Peralta and McGill trades signals an acceptance of losing Edwin Diaz.

BT and Sal dive headfirst into the Mets' offseason dilemma, sparked by a report that David Stearns is "reluctant" to give long-term deals to free-agent starting pitchers like Framber Valdez. Sal argues this philosophy is smart money, insisting the Mets should avoid overpaying for a non-ace like Valdez and instead aggressively target trade-and-extend options like Tarik Skubal. BT agrees Valdez isn't a true ace, but asks if the Mets can afford to be choosy after last year's rotation collapse. The debate heats up on the question of value: is a three-year deal for Michael King smarter than seven years for Valdez? The discussion expands to the future of the core, with Sal advocating for the emotional release of Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz if they demand reckless contracts, believing the Mets haven't won with them anyway. The hosts analyze Stearns' strategy and ask whether his dedication to player development will clash with the need to win now.

BT & Sal kick off the show by celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Juan Soto signing, arguing that winning the offseason doesn't guarantee a successful season. The focus quickly shifts to the Winter Meetings and a report on David Stearns' reluctance to give out long-term deals to free agent starting pitchers. Sal defends Stearns' strategy, preferring to chase Tarik Skubal via trade or pursue Michael King over overpaying non-aces like Framber Valdez. The hosts debate whether the Mets can afford to lose Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz if Stearns' plan to build a "better" team doesn't include massive free-agent contracts. The conversation takes a sharp turn as they discuss the Diddy documentary on Netflix, with Sal questioning whether the hip-hop mogul was responsible for Tupac's death, and noting the lack of payment to artists. The show wraps up with calls debating the Mets' potential pursuit of Kyle Schwarber and Jeff McNeil's "petulant" behavior, with the hosts wondering if a new-look team could function without their "Core Four."
