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.

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.

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."

The Winter Meetings begin in earnest tomorrow, and the Orioles are already making waves as they look to bounce back from a miserable 2025 season and make their way back to the postseason in 2026. Taylor Ward and Ryan Helsley have been brought in to revitalize the lineup and the backend of the bullpen, and a reunion with Andrew Kittredge adds more solid backend bullpen help. But the Orioles don't seem to be close to done and have been seriously linked to just about all the big names out there. Framber Valdez, Michael King, Ranger Suare, Kyle Schwarber, and Pete Alonso. Could one or multiple of these players be running down the orange carpet on March 26th? Paul and Zach get into that and more on our Winter Meetings Preview right here on The Bat Around!

BT & Sal kick off a fiery segment by discussing the death of office etiquette after Sal left three boxes of vintage baseball cards (including an '88 Score Mattingly!) in a community area, only for them to vanish without a trace in under two hours. Tierney confesses he, too, swiped a few packs "just in case Santa forgets" but was shocked to find the entire haul—and even the boxes—gone on his return. The hosts rail against the "every man for himself" mentality that dominates the station's communal space. The discussion pivots to the MLB free-agent market, where Sal details Marc Feinsand's top starting pitcher rankings, including Ranger Suarez, Framber Valdez, and Michael King—all of whom the Mets and Yankees are pursuing. Sal expresses frustration over the Mets missing out on Max Fried last year, arguing that he was a better and more proven "true ace" than the high-priced, potential-based pitchers available now. Tierney highlights the defensive concerns, noting Valdez's extreme ground-ball rate and the Mets' shaky infield defense (especially at 3B/1B).

In this episode, I sit down with Michael King Jr., an executive coach who works with Fortune 500 companies, consultants, creators, and entrepreneurs who want to operate at the highest level. Michael opens up about his journey from leading a thriving church to stepping into the world of executive coaching, and how that transition forced him to reexamine his identity, his purpose, and what it truly means to lead with impact. We talk about the art of storytelling and why it is one of the most underrated tools in leadership and communication today. Michael breaks down his signature prioritization framework called Now, Next, and Nope, which helps leaders gain clarity during chaotic seasons so they can focus on what actually moves the needle. He shares how this approach grew from his own real life experiences of burnout, reinvention, and learning what deserves his full attention. Michael also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the moment he stepped away from his long-time church role and how that difficult season helped him rediscover his passion for music, creativity, and coaching. We explore the key turning points in his growth, the importance of setting boundaries, the power of saying no, and why leaving people and situations better than you found them is one of the most important leadership principles you can commit to. This conversation is packed with practical wisdom, powerful mindset shifts, and real strategies you can implement right away. In this episode you will learn: • How Michael transitioned from church leadership to executive coaching and rebuilt his identity • Why storytelling is one of the most essential tools in leadership, communication, and influence • How the Now, Next, and Nope framework works and how it helps leaders eliminate distraction • The personal breakthrough that led Michael back to music and creativity • Why saying no is critical for protecting energy, clarity, and performance • The difference between healthy growth and unhealthy pressure • How to create a life and career that feels aligned with who you are becoming • What it means to leave people, teams, and environments better than you found them • How top performers maintain balance while still aiming for excellence If you are looking for insight into high performance, clarity-driven leadership, and tools that help you operate with confidence and intention, this conversation delivers from start to finish. Tune in to hear how Michael King Jr. helps individuals and organizations unlock their full potential while staying grounded in purpose.

Dylan Cease, Michael King reject qualifying offers. Jim Bowden on Mason Miller as a starter. The top free agent pitcher of the off-season is about to be posted. Do the Padres have a shot?

Tim Dierkes, Steve Adams and Anthony Franco all join Darragh McDonald to discuss the site's annual Top 50 Free Agents list. Topics include how the threat of a lockout will affect free-agent contracts, if there's a team that will be willing to give Kyle Tucker a massive deal, the factors that could drive up Bo Bichette's price, how difficult it is to predict what Dylan Cease will sign for, what to make of Japanese stars Munetaka Murakami and Tatsuya Imai, if this will be the year that Cody Bellinger and Pete Alonso get huge deals, how the guys nailed the terms of Josh Naylor's contract, the best comps for Zac Gallen and Michael King, if teams will be able to overlook Devin Williams having poor ERA last year, if Robert Suarez can get a three-year deal going into his age-35 season, and the players with tough qualifying offer decisions. 

Welcome to Episode 118 of Tablesetters. The offseason opened with a major move, as Josh Naylor signed a five-year deal with the Seattle Mariners, immediately reshaping the first-base market. His return reinforces Seattle's lineup core and removes one of the most dependable bats from free agency. We break down why the deal came together quickly, why other teams never seriously entered the mix, and how his signing affects clubs still searching for first-base or middle-of-the-order help. Midway through the live show, the conversation shifted when news broke that the Orioles traded Grayson Rodriguez to the Angels for Taylor Ward. Rodriguez missed the entire 2025 season with arm injuries, but the Angels are betting on the upside he showed before the setbacks. Ward, under control through 2026, gives Baltimore a steady right-handed bat and immediate outfield stability. We break down how the trade fits each team's broader offseason plan and what it suggests about their priorities moving forward. The episode also covers one of the most unusual qualifying-offer cycles since the system's creation. Four players accepted the QO — Trent Grisham, Gleyber Torres, Shota Imanaga, and Brandon Woodruff — marking the first time more than three players have taken it in the same offseason. Grisham's decision is the most surprising, coming off a breakout 34-homer season in a thin outfield market. His acceptance raises the Yankees' payroll above the third luxury-tax tier and signals a calculated one-year bet on himself. Torres returns to Detroit looking for a healthier 2026 after playing through a sports hernia. Imanaga chose a reset with Chicago after a late-season downturn, and Woodruff accepted as expected as he continues his recovery from shoulder surgery. On the other side, nine players rejected the QO — Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber, Bo Bichette, Framber Valdez, Dylan Cease, Ranger Suárez, Edwin Díaz, Zac Gallen, and Michael King — a group largely expected to pursue multi-year deals despite draft-pick compensation. Their decisions, combined with Grisham coming off the board, further thin the center-field market and shift clubs toward potential trade options. This QO cycle reflects a winter shaped by uncertainty around future labor conditions, stricter tax penalties, and mixed performances from several major free agents. In San Diego, the Padres' ownership evaluation remains ongoing. The Seidler family is formally exploring a potential sale while working through internal disputes and long-term financial considerations. The front office maintains a “business as usual” stance, but the review introduces real questions about payroll strategy and organizational stability heading into 2026. Award season added another layer to a busy week. Shohei Ohtani earned another unanimous MVP, and Aaron Judge secured his third after a tightly contested race. On the pitching side, Tarik Skubal won his second straight AL Cy Young Award, and Paul Skenes captured the NL honor just a year after winning Rookie of the Year — a rare progression that underscores how quickly he has become one of the league's most impactful pitchers. In Washington, the Nationals introduced Drew Butera as their new manager, making him the youngest skipper in Major League Baseball in more than 50 years. His development-focused background aligns with the organization's larger reset under Paul Toboni. The 2026 Hall of Fame ballot was also released, featuring returning candidates such as Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones along with first-time names including Cole Hamels, Ryan Braun, and Matt Kemp.

Tony, Chris, and Skraby talked about the two Padres who rejected their qualifying offers. They discussed the Aztecs playing for the first time in a while. Sports potpourri was also bantied about!

BT & Sal kick off the segment with a fiery, yet hilarious, linguistics lesson on the pronunciation of "sword," with BT's preferred "sword**"** (or "sword") sparking a comical debate about intellect and high-quality literature. The main discussion shifts to potential Yankees trade targets. The hosts dismantle a trade proposal for Ketel Marte, questioning the high asking price and his history of taking days off. The focus then turns to the "perfect fit": Steven Kwan. Sal argues that the elite, contact-hitting, Gold Glove left fielder is the ideal leadoff hitter the Yankees desperately need, contrasting him with the "analytics war" being waged by Boone and Cashman. Finally, they weigh the risks of signing free agent pitcher Michael King and debate if small, smart moves can round out the roster.

Peter and Jack talk through Part Two of Just Baseball's Free Agency Preview, this time focusing on the top starters and relievers on the market. Lengthy discussions include Dylan Cease, Framber Valdez, Zac Gallen, Michael King, Edwin Diaz, and Tatsuya Imai.Join our Free Agent Contest!Text "BASEBALL" to 29017 for 20% off of your next purchase at LIDSJoin Our New DiscordSubscribe to Our New Newsletter!Get Your Just Baseball MerchUse Code "JUSTBASEBALL" when signing up on BetMGMOur Sponsors:* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/justbaseballSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-just-baseball-show/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
