The 96th edition of the MLB All-Star Game is all wrapped up in Philadelphia after the American League defeated the National League, 4-0. With New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger taking home the game's MVP award, the AL continued its dominance over the Senior Circuit with its 11th win in the past 13 matchups. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman give their thoughts on the aftermath of the game, including why the Chicago White Sox's Miguel Vargas should have gotten some consideration for the MVP award and why the National League continues to struggle in this exhibition. They then discuss the highlight of the night: a tribute to baseball and America that featured a nod to the movie The Sandlot. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan discuss the press conference held with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and MLBPA leader Bruce Meyer, as the two sides discuss their current positions in the CBA negotiations. They then try to figure out where to put the Boston Red Sox in the latest power rankings following their hot streak before breaking down some surprising Miami Marlins roster news.   1:41 - The Opener: All-Star Game reaction 21:36 - Cody Bellinger wins MVP 25:22 - We Need to Talk About: All-Star theatrics 40:23 - All-Star Week in Philly wrap-up 47:14 - Around the League: CBA update 53:55 - Red Sox power rankings 58:18 - Rintaro Sasaki signs with Marlins Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Will there be a salary cap implemented in the new collective bargaining agreement between the MLBPA and MLB? Comments from players and Commissioner Rob Manfred say both sides could not be further away in discussions.

Mike and Rico spent a segment with their thoughts on comments from both MLB players and Commissioner Rob Manfred about the implementation of a salary cap/floor in the next CBA. Then, they quickly touched on where MLS promotion has been throughout the World Cup, and Rico tried to guess the teams in the league with only the city name provided. The guys wrapped the hour with their intended topic: which of the Skubal/Duren/Larkin situations are you most frustrated with?

The Drive discussed the inevitability of a lockout is coming in baseball this offseason, after some comments from the new head of the MLBPA.

While discussing a potential lockout in the MLB, The Drive made a point to highlight how strong the MLBPA is as a negotiating body.

Hour 3 with Jeff Hathhorn: A salary floor is as important as a cap. MLBPA Director Bruce Meyer and Commissioner Rob Manfred spoke about the state of baseball. They disagree on a ton. Jeff thinks there will be a lockout, but owners will cave. He doesn't know if owners as that invested to go without baseball for a year to gain a cap and floor. 

Hour 2 with Jeff Hathhorn: pencer Anderson is going to get a chance to be a starter. Nick doesn't think Gennings Dunker is ready to be a starting guard. Mike McCarthy is a pass over run coach. Chris Boswell is the highest paid Steeler at his position. There are disagreements with the MLBPA over hotels, tickets, and mandatory events to attend that is jeperdizing players playing in the Olympics. MLB would play the HR Derby, All-Star Game, and shut down for two weeks to play the Olympics in LA.

A salary floor is as important as a cap. MLBPA Director Bruce Meyer and Commissioner Rob Manfred spoke about the state of baseball. They disagree on a ton. 

There are disagreements with the MLBPA over hotels, tickets, and mandatory events to attend that is jeperdizing players playing in the Olympics. MLB would play the HR Derby, All-Star Game, and shut down for two weeks to play the Olympics in LA. Only six teams will qualify for the Olympic Games. The MLBPA is seeking "fair treatment" for the financial value they bring to the Olympic Games.

Pottymouth does not disappoint bringing you the Cavalli-Contreras rant you've been waiting for. Putting it firmly in the larger context of the devastating earthquake in Venezuela, Contreras' home country, we walk through the “brush,” the slur that came awfully easily to Cavalli, and the ensuing fracas (not a picnic, not a brawl). There's yet another teaching moment about an apology that really isn't. And the inequitable aftermath. Back to that larger context, “baseball” is rallying around earthquake recovery, from team-level fundraising to actions by individual players, and smaller, incredibly heartfelt moments that mean everything.Congrats to current BFs Drake Baldwin and Nick Kurtz for being named starters at this year's ASG, and to Sal Stewart and once and forever bf Adley Rutschman for making the reserves. Patti catches you up on collective bargaining with MLB owners moving money around in a smaller box and the MLBPA looking to eliminate shenanigans with stashing players in the minors to save a few bucks. We crosstrain with the Men's World Cup and the infamous Red Card, and the fascist in chief's inability to stay in his lane. And lastly we enjoy the irony of staff from “Guiness” (not that one) ruling on a world record glass of “beer” (It's Bud so it starts in quotes) outside of Globe Life Field. Patti still wants to know what happened to the 600 gallons sitting in the Texas sun for hours… ARI celebrated with apple pie nachos, and WAS with a red white and blue Liberty shake, but all any other teams could manage was throwing words like “all american” and “firecracker” in front of standard concessions. But at least our homes shook during the midnight fireworks in your nation's capital, as if we were under attack.We say, “Halle-f*!@n-luya,”Nothing says America 250 like a giant Budweiser,” and “cross-train with criticizing the government.” Fight the man, go see some live baseball, send your game balls to Meredith, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Mike Lefko and Charlie Furbush fill in for Brock and Salk they discuss - Can the M's offense find the consistency it needs without those two finding their power? - Who is more likely to figure it out? // If no movement on a salary cap, what concessions can MLBPA make? - What would the players want if they agreed to a salary cap? - Why wouldn’t the NBA model work where one player can sign a “SuperMax contract” (up to 25-30% of salary cap based on years in the league) - Franchise valuations well below NBA & NFL counterparts because they deal in fixed costs // Blue 88 Bump from Bump and Stacy, joins to talk - Why do you think of Trey McBride saying that the Seahawks are the team in the division he dislikes the most? - ESPN gave the Seahawks a B-minus for their offseason grade (part of the reason was signing Derick Hall to a contract extension and not keeping Mafe instead)…did they make the right decision keeping Hall over Mafe? - Which Seahawk should we be talking about more heading into the 2026 season?

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠and Mike Kravchenko (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) are back after a three-month hiatus — with stories spanning college sports' future, an expanding NBA gambling probe, an NFL kidnapping case, and one of the biggest sports-media stories in years.After catching up on the time away — and a plan to bring back long-form guest interviews — Dan and Mike open with the Brendan Sorsby saga, the most consequential college-sports story of the offseason. They trace the whole arc: Sorsby's roughly $90,000 in bets (including on his own Indiana team), the NCAA's permanent ineligibility ruling, Jeffrey Kessler's state-court injunction in Lubbock, the Big 12's federal suit to preserve its right to punish Texas Tech, and the NFL's decision not to hold a supplemental draft at all — leaving Sorsby out of football for 2026 on every front. Dan explains why this was nearly a "watershed moment" for state-versus-federal court chaos, and the "home court advantage" problem of athletes shopping NCAA disputes to friendly local judges.From there, the duo zooms out to the bigger college-sports picture: the NCAA's new age-based eligibility model, adopted June 23 — five seasons in five years, with the clock starting at enrollment or the year after an athlete turns 19. Dan and Mike break down the wave of challenges already filed (including Campbell v. NCAA and 50-plus basketball players from the 2022 class), and how the Protect College Sports Act and a Trump executive order fit into a five-year NIL era that still has no federal law.Dan and Mike then turn to the gambling and pro-sports bucket, with Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold, charged in Florida with armed robbery, kidnapping, and conspiracy.Followed by Malik Beasley, indicted in the Eastern District of New York on four counts alongside Ed Davis. Dan and Mike get into the point-shaving theory, the unsealed text messages, why a $60M-career player joining Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups makes this so alarming, and how this is now a federal case the NBA can't sweep away.The episode closes with the Dianna Russini story. With The Athletic's investigation looming and a new New York Times piece reigniting it, Dan walks through the Mike Vrabel reporting, the dual denials, and the defamation lawsuit that — tellingly — neither party ever filed. Dan and Mike turn it into a broader ethics conversation about honesty, owning mistakes, and what it means that Russini referred to herself as a "former journalist." Plus, in "What to Watch For," Mike flags the MLBPA's proposed prop-bet ban as the most important betting story of the back half of the year — and Dan shares a (very on-brand) World Cup story from the home front.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

Bobby and Alex discuss the debate over the word “analytics” that's raging across the basketball internet, observing how eerily similar it is to the one that has poisoned baseball discourse over the last decade. Then, they make an exciting announcement about a new series of episodes called the Tipping Pitches: The Audit, where they'll be conducting deep dives into all 30 MLB teams' publicly available finances, spending, and more in an effort to set a level playing field for future labor discussions as the CBA expires. Next, they dig into the latest round of economic proposals from MLB and the MLBPA, including a radical max contract proposal from the owners that would fundamentally alter the existence of free agency in MLB, before discussing the PR blitz that the MLB side is building to try and win over public opinion.Finally, in honor of Bobby's trip to Camden Yards, they conduct a tiered ranking of the MLB stadiums that they've attended.Links:Tipping Pitches Rockies Meetup Interest Form⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipping Pitches merchandise ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.

MLB sent out a scathing infographic yesterday in their latest contract negotiation with MLBPA. Matt breaks it down and thinks its the latest in a long string of signs indicating we won't get baseball next season.

ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan (1:34) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to kick off the final hour of the week. They discuss the New York Mets firing Carlos Mendoza, Albert Pujols' candidacy as manager, the Jays' playoff hopes, peculiar results in the fans' All-Star Game voting, the MLBPA pushing to ban prop bets, and how the proposed five-year maximum length on contracts will impact pending free agents like Tarik Skubal. Later, former MLB All-Star and Rangers hitting coach Bret Boone stops by (28:38) to share his view of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s season, Corey Seager's preparation, how the Yankees have managed without Aaron Judge, and the state of the American League ahead of the All-Star break.

The Mariners broadcast is a disaster right now, but sometimes things go wrong. Who will the fans blame? M's lose and drop 2 of 3 in Pittsburgh. Chris Crawford, My oh Why joins Ian to talk about the Mariners' dismal performance as of late. What is going wrong? Injuries do play a part, but they're hardly the sole reason for the struggles. Chris Crawford sticks with us to talk about Major League Baseball’s latest proposal to the Major League Baseball Player’s Association contains a limit for max contract length. Chris breaks down what it means. The cap isn't the issue, it's the floor. The Mariners were a combined 2-20 with RISP their last two games and have become way to homerun reliant. Bryan Woo cannot pitch effectively on the road. Bigger picture, MLB's proposal to limit max contracts and what's next with the salary cap could see a work stoppage. Eno Sarris, The Athletic joins Ian to tell us what's going on with the Mariners pitching staff right now and what happens to aging arms. He also dives into the new MLBPA proposal for contract limitations, as well as a new salary cap PLUS a floor. Eno doesn't think it's a very serious proposal. Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe! Danny shares his experience through the World Cup so far. Ian brings up the fact that sports bring people together, and this event does it on a global level. Danny says it's awesome to have harmless, guilt free enthusiasm in sports fandom. The guys discuss coaches who ruined their programs in the past and what little remorse some of them have shown.

As we rapidly approach the halfway point of the 2026 baseball season, some interesting trends are starting to become more apparent across Major League Baseball. One of the more jarring statistics is the difference in success between teams in the American and National Leagues. While NL teams seem to be having more success, is there a bigger issue at play for teams in the AL? On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman try to make sense of why the vast majority of teams in the American League aren't having great seasons. While 10 teams in the NL have records above .500, only five teams in the AL are above that mark. Additionally, only the New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians have reached the 40-win mark. Could it be the amount teams are spending on payroll, or is competition within the AL divisions simply tighter? Later, Jake and Jordan discuss the latest developments in the MLB and MLBPA negotiations over a new CBA, which could feature radical changes to how teams draft eligible players and what those changes could mean for the college baseball landscape. The guys then get into the new format change for the 2026 Home Run Derby, which some fans might not be thrilled about, before making their picks for this week's edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla. 1:34 – The Opener: What's wrong with the AL? 23:17 – Around The League: Latest in CBA negotiations 53:40 – We Need To Talk About: HR Derby changes 57:16 – The Good 1:04:01 – The Bad 1:07:58 – The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
