1. We have a special guest on today's episode, Cleveland Guardians relief prospect Tim Herrin joins the podcast. Tim was nice enough to spend a half hour talking to us about his journey from being an Indiana University pitcher to being drafted by the Cleveland Guardians in the 29th round in the 2018 draft. 2. Tim shares his background playing high school sports, where he was a state championship quarterback and lettered in basketball, and how Cleveland spent a lot of time getting to know him during his junior year with the Indiana Hoosiers. 3. Tim also reveals his favorite MLB team and player growing up and how he's approaching going into the season now on the 40 man roster and could be part of the Guardians bullpen. 4. On YouTube only (at 31:33) we get into Cleveland trading Owen Miller to the Milwaukee Brewers to clear a 40 man roster spot to add Mike Zunino. We touch on the ramifications of that spot and the Guardians handling their bench and 40 man roster, and why Justin still has faith in Owen Miller's future. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On The Kenny & JT Show we're joined by former Cleveland pitcher and current Tampa Bay Rays broadcaster Brian Anderson. Brian gives us more details on new Guardians catcher Mike Zunino, acquired from the Rays earlier this week.

Zack Meisel talks about the Guardians' signings of Josh Bell and Mike Zunino so far this offseason, other moves that the organization could still look to make, mega contracts in MLB and baseball's biggest issue in drawing widespread interest.

Highlights: The NBA's 20-year club: Can you name them? What catcher Mike Zunino will bring to the Guardians; Why Josh Bell was a good fit, and why his contract had an interesting structure; Josh Naylor playing the outfield: Good idea or not? Why the Cavs keep starting slow and losing on the road; The striking disparity between Darius Garland's home stats and road stats; Deshaun Watson's performance against the Bengals: What we learned; What the Browns need to accomplish in their final four games; Why the Browns' offensive line is struggling to play up to its reputation; This week's Hey, Terry! questions about whether Deshaun Watson deserves a pass for not playing in a regular-season game for 700 days; whether Evan Mobley should develop a sky hook; and book recommendations.

1. The Cleveland Guardians signed Mike Zunino. After missing out on Sean Murphy in a trade, we discuss why Zunino is an upgrade over Austin Hedges, and it's not even close. 2. We revisit the Sean Murphy trade again and what the Athletics were looking for and what Cleveland didn't have or what St. Louis wasn't willing to do. 3. Is Cleveland done making moves and would they add another catcher behind Zunino still? We get into that a little more. 4. On YouTube only after 30 minutes, we talk about the trade market not being equal right now and what Cleveland may do next in terms of backup catcher or other bats. We talk about what the Guardians will do with Bo Naylor and other future moves. Don't forget on tomorrow's show, we will have Guardians pitching prospect Tim Herrin joining us. Be sure to tune in!

Gabe gives his thoughts on The Cleveland guardians signing catcher Mike Zunino!!

On The Kenny & JT Show, live from Progressive Field, we're joined by Cleveland Guardians beat writer Zack Meisel from TheAthletic.com/Cleveland, to discuss the signings of Josh Bell and Mike Zunino, and more...

The Tuesday Kenny & JT Show is underway, starting with a look back at the Cavs loss to the Spurs in the closing seconds following an awful start to the game. Listen to Donovan Mitchell taking the blame for the final sequence and Coach Bickerstaff breaking down the loss. Plus, the Guardians pick up free agent catcher Mike Zunino, coming off an unusual injury.

On The Kenny & JT Show we're joined by Dr. Ajay Seth, orthopedic surgeon from Ortho United/Spectrum-Omni. The Cleveland guardians signed free-agent catcher Mike Zunino from Tampa Bay. He played in only 36 games last season due to thoracic outlet syndrome in his left (non-throwing) shoulder and Dr Seth explains the injury and recovery.

With the Atlanta Braves making the huge splash of trading for catcher Sean Murphy yesterday, there are murmurs that they could be shopping their ace, Max Fried. It is yet to be seen whether that will be true or not, but it does mean the hot stove is heating up the trade market! Herb Lawrence, Vinnie Duber, and Sean Anderson will explore one trade option from each MLB team on today's CHGO White Sox Podcast.

1. The Boston Red Sox signed OF Masataka Yoshida and the market is pretty wild, which is why we talked about why the Cleveland Guardians don't need an outfielder and shouldn't go after one, including Pirates OF Bryan Reynolds. 2. There was some news on Cleveland's potential interest in C Mike Zunino. We talk about why Zunino would be an upgrade over Austin Hedges, although we explain that both could be back anyway. We go over the risks and strengths of Zunino signing with Cleveland. 3. And we are on day 200 something of the Sean Murphy saga, talking about the rumored ask of the Cardinals by the Athletics in a potential trade for Murphy, which was said to be Lars Nootbaar, Brendan Donovan and Gordan Graceffo. We talk about why that is too high of an ask, if true, and what that means for Cleveland's pursuit of Murphy. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The injuries to Brandon Lowe, Wander Franco, Luis Patiño, Drew Rasmussen, Andrew Kittredge, Pete Fairbanks, Mike Zunino and countless others have definitely affected this team's record. But, is that enough for the fanbase to justify the performance in 2022? Let's find out, as we have questions from Steve, Zachary and Kody, who might feel differently.

ADVERTISE WITH US: LockedOnRays@gmail.com The Tampa Bay Rays were not able to take the series against the Minnesota Twins during the weekend as they only took the getaway game against the Twins in dominating fashion 6-0. The Rays saw the debut of Shane Baz not go according to plan, as well as Drew Rasmussen imploding on Friday evening. However, Rays fans were treated to yet another great start by Jeffrey Springs, Randy Arozarena acrobatics and, unfortunately, more injuries piling up on the IL with Andrew Kittredge (out for the season) and Mike Zunino (out for a couple weeks).

It was a fantastic week for the Rays out west, and Steve Carney gets into all the things the team has improved while playing on Pacific time. He's also joined by Mike Zunino who talks about the process of developing a relationship and rapport with pitchers on a staff, and how it changes when you're a young catcher to being a more experienced backstop. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/utorpodcast/support

With Joe West now retired, everyone has been waiting for the next Alpha Umpire of MLB to step up and claim the crown. Dan Bellino officially put his name in the hat this week during one of the most bizarre player/umpire interactions in recent memory where he stared directly at Madison Bumgarner for an uncomfortably long time during a hand check for sticky substances. Jared, Dallas, and Joey break down this unusual moment and try to figure out why it happened. The guys also get into some other topics from baseball this week which include the Yankees win-streak coming to an end, Dallas's call of Mike Zunino's game tying home run on the A's broadcast, John Sterling being up to his old tricks again, Aaron Judge's hot streak and moment with fan in Toronto, and Eric Hosmer being the hottest hitter in baseball. We also catch up with Jason Krizan who over the weekend played in his first MLB game and recorded his first hit in the big leagues after playing 11 years and 1,132 games in the minor leagues. Enjoy!

As the Tampa Bay Rays finished off their sweep of the Oakland A's, WTSP's Sports Director, Evan Closky joins the show to share his perspective on how the Rays will fare against the Seattle Mariners. Mike Zunino is starting to get hot, is he going to turn his early season struggles around? Shane McClanahan keeps evolving into one of the best pitchers of the American League. Is he as good as Tyler Glasnow was in 2021? There are still concerns with this group offensively but the momentum of an upward trend is evident. Can Wander Franco slow it down so he stays on the field without injury? Want to guest co-host on a future episode of the Locked On Rays podcast with the boys?

Keep or Kut -  This early in the season, a lot of numbers lie to you, but changes in K-rate, BB-rate and pull percentage for hitters can be telling.

Should we just wait on Reyes? 14:48 - What to do about Kelenic. 21:14 - Biggest year over year gains in walk rate: Jesus Aguilar, Jesse Winker, Eduardo Escobar, Michael A.

Is there anything better than Opening Day, Rays fans? We hope you are as excited as we are to see Shane McClanahan toe the rubber for the Tampa Bay Rays against John Means and the Baltimore Orioles. Seeing as the Rays will be facing a lefty, you can make sure that Kevin Cash will be utilizing his righty and switch hitters such as Wander Franco, Randy Arozarena, Yandy Diaz and Mike Zunino. The Rays should be able to bank early wins in April as their schedule will end pretty tough in September! Will they take this first series easily?
