A Big Night For Miles Byrd And the Aztecs. Mike Ferrin From MLB Network Radio On Roki And The Padres Offseason.

Mike Ferrin From MLB Network Radio Joins The Show To Give Us A Roki Watch Update And Talk Padres Offseason.

Former GM Steve Phillips on MLB Network Radio on the Roki Sweepstakes.

Bump and Stacy are joined by Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio and The Athletic to get his thoughts on why he gave the Mariners a failing grade for their offseason, the moves they have missed already, and some possible moves left to make, they answer your questions about NFL Wild Card Weekend and Seahawks QB Geno Smith in Four Down Territory, they react to Eagles WR AJ Brown reading a book on the sideline of their playoff win in the Timeline, and they discuss what the Mariners need to do to sign a bat. 

"There should be three expectations in life," MLB Network Radio host and noted baseball pundit Mike Ferrin says in a brand new episode of the Best Pocast in Baseball. "Death, taxes, and the Cardinals competing evry year. That's National League baseball." That may be the Cardinals' brand, but that is not entirely their plan this coming season. At Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings in Dallas, Ferrin joins Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss the direction the Cardinals are shifting and how they have a long way to go and a short time to get there. This isn't just about carrying on the torch of the Cardinals Way, but turning it into a more fuel efficient electric lighter.  Several years ago as a guest on BPIB, Ferrin, who hosts Power Alley on Sirius XM's MLB Network Radio, introduced this podcast's listeners to the phrase "player dev," short for player development. The conversation that followed in that episode offered a glimpse into where the Cardinals had started to go astray from the modern system and how they can now catch up. Ferrin dives into what current, successful teams do to maximize player development and how the Cardinals are not alone in their attempt to restart after a stalled stretch. Ferrin and Goold also discuss the Cardinals rising to the fifth overall pick in the upcoming MLB draft, and they conclude with a discussion about the legacy of the Paul Goldschmidt-Nolan Arenado era in St. Louis as it likely comes to an end. The two infielders and potential Hall of Famers finished first and third for the 2022 National League MVP, respectively, and they helped the team to several postseason appearances. But Goldschmidt only advanced as far as the 2019 NLCS and they never won a playoff series together as Cardinals teammates. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.

Eno and DVR discuss an eight-year deal for Max Fried and the Yankees, and an Andrés Giménez trade involving the Guardians and Blue Jays.
