Fresh off his National League Cy Young Award, Sale reconnects with Bradfo to talk about his journey, how he almost retired and then was rejuvenated by landing with the Braves. There is also some great Garrett Crochet talk. And to top things off, Bradfo catches up with another friend of BIB, Jake Diekman, who details his path to signing a minor-league deal with the Braves and why he chose the road he chose last season.

Last week, the Arizona Diamondbacks made the definitive most shocking move of the offseason, signing 2021 National League Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes to a six-year, $210 million contract. Days earlier, the Diamondbacks traded for first baseman Josh Naylor, from the Cleveland Guardians. Arizona Diamondbacks on SI publisher and Diamondbacks beat reporter Jack Sommers visits the Jack Vita Show to break it all down! Jack Sommers has the inside scoop on how the Burnes' signing — which seemingly no one saw coming — came to fruition. Burnes reportedly passed on more lucrative offers from the San Francisco Giants and Toronto Blue Jays, preferring instead to play in Arizona, where he lives in the offseason with his family. The contract also includes deferrals; Jack Sommers explains how the deferrals work. Earlier in the week, the Diamondbacks filled a gaping hole at first base, acquiring All-Star Josh Naylor in exchange for right-handed pitching prospect Slade Cecconi and a Competitive Balance Round B Draft pick. Naylor will replace three-time Gold Glove Award winner Christian Walker, who signed a three-year, $60 million deal with the Houston Astros. Former Diamondbacks great Paul Goldschmidt had been linked to the team as a possible replacement for Walker, but instead signed a one-year, $12.5 million contract with the New York Yankees. Jack and Jack share their thoughts on game of musical chairs being played among first baseman! What do they think of the Naylor trade, and the landing spots for Walker and Goldy? Finally, Jack and Jack share some thoughts on miraculous 2024 Arizona State Sun Devils football season, which resulted in a thrilling, double-overtime loss in the Peach Bowl on New Years Day. This episode was taped a day before the Bowl Game; Jack and Jack reflect on a monumental season for the program that nobody saw coming. Was this the most stunning season for an Arizona sports team in the state's history? Unfortunately, we encountered some technical difficulties when recording this episode, thus, our audio isn't up to the high standards set for the Jack Vita Show. We apologize, and expect to do MUCH better next time! You can follow Jack on Twitter, @shoewizard59, and check out his work at Diamondbacks on SI!

December 22nd Show NotesBorn on December 22, 1862 in East Brookfield, MA, Player, manager, scout, general manager, owner — Cornelius MacGillicuddy (Connie Mack) — did it all. For more than half a century, he owned and managed the Philadelphia A's — nearly their entire existence. He built two dynasties that won a total of five World Series titles.Mack was often described as the “grand old gentleman of the game,” but he wasn't above stretching the rules to gain a competitive advantage. He was rumored to have kept frozen baseballs handy to insert into the game when his pitchers were on the mound. He also employed a special coach who stationed himself in center field at Shibe Park to steal signs from opposing teams.Connie Mack pieced together a tremendous baseball team in the first decade of the 20th century, built in large part, around his famous “$100,000 Infield.” At the time, Mack claimed that even that lofty dollar-amount would not pry the four star players away from him. In 1911, John “Stuffy” McInnis was switched to first base to replace the aging Harry Davis, a fine player. McInnis, who earned his nickname because he had the “right stuff” as a young ballplayer in Boston, joined Eddie Collins, Jack Barry, and Frank Baker to form the greatest infield of the era.His A's from 1929-1931, had a team second to none, which featured Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Cochrane, Al Simmons, Lefty Grove, George Earnshaw, Rube Walberg, and Jack Quinn.Mack holds the all-time record for most games managed (7,755), most games won (3,731), and most games lost (3,814).

It's taken a few weeks after the heartbreaking end of the 2024 baseball campaign for the Orioles' postseason strategy under the guidance of general manager Mike Elias' to be revealed. And in a few words, and with all due respect to former president Ronald Reagan, the plan appears to be “Move Back That Wall.” Specifically, the most visible thing Elias has said or done since the Birds were swept out by the Kansas City Royals in the wild card round is to declare that the team will bring in the left field wall at Oriole Park. That doesn't exactly have the same impact as Reagan's dare to Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev to end communism by destroying the Berlin Wall, but the Orioles' brass hope this is a statement of intent to remain a force. The club pushed the fences back and raised their height in 2022 under the theory that doing so would make Camden Yards more appealing to potential pitching free agent signees. The theory behind the move was that, in its previous configuration, Oriole Park was a bandbox, especially for right-handed hitters, and pushing the fences out in left field would raise the park's attractiveness to pitchers. For all the talk of the warehouse which adorns the right field area, some of the longest homers in the 32-year history of Camden Yards have been hit to left. Indeed, former Texas outfielder Juan Gonzalez has the longest regular season home run ever at Oriole Park, a 450-foot blast off Hall of Famer Mike Mussina and two moon shots, one 455 feet and another 473 feet, the following year in the 1993 Home Run Derby. In the present day, the move of the fences has largely been panned. Hitters have mostly complained about long drives that traveled to left, seemingly destined for home run territory, only to end up in a left fielder's glove. According to the website, Baseball Savant, Oriole first baseman Ryan Mountcastle alone has 11 drives over the last three years that would have been home runs at the previous left field distance and height, Switch hitter Anthony Santander has lost seven Oriole Park home runs during that span. The club is said to be considering re-signing Santander or pursuing Teoscar Hernandez, a right handed slugger, who just won a World Series ring with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Besides the money, both players and other potential right handed hitters are likely to take into consideration that the new left field fence will be anywhere from 9-20 feet closer to home plate and will be 5-6 feet shorter. Or at least that's what Elias is hoping. Meanwhile, the Orioles haven't picked up any noteworthy free agent pitchers during the last three years, though they did trade for starter Corbin Burnes, getting the former National League Cy Young Award winner from Milwaukee before the 2024 season. Burnes was the only Baltimore player to be named to the All-Major League team and is a free agent. The new fence length might weigh on his mind, but, and this is just a guess, a fistful of dollars might assuage his concerns. And that's how I see it for this week.

With the Baltimore Orioles set to begin another season this week after a busy and eventful offseason, Geoff Arnold, the team's radio play-by-play voice, is this week's guest on the Final Score podcast. Arnold chats with host Greg Swatek about his expectations for a young and talented team that won 101 games last season and finished the regular season with the best record in the American League, only to make a quick playoff exit against the eventual World Series champions, the Texas Rangers. The guys talk about the makeup of the Opening Day roster, the decision to leave top prospect Jackson Holliday off of it and the decision to put top outfield prospect Colton Cowser on it. They discuss what former National League Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes will bring to the pitching staff, in addition to the sale of the team from the Angelos family to Baltimore billionaire David Rubenstein and what that might mean for the club. Plus, Geoff reveals his favorite road cities to visit and call a game. Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writers Alexander Dacy and John Cannon join Greg to discuss former Urbana High standout Trey Lipscomb nearly making the Opening Day roster of the Washington Nationals as a 23-year-old, as well as their early impressions of the spring season for Frederick County high school sports.

December 22nd Show Notes Born on December 22, 1862 in East Brookfield, MA, Player, manager, scout, general manager, owner — Cornelius MacGillicuddy (Connie Mack) — did it all. For more than half a century, he owned and managed the Philadelphia A's — nearly their entire existence. He built two dynasties that won a total of five World Series titles. Mack was often described as the “grand old gentleman of the game,” but he wasn't above stretching the rules to gain a competitive advantage. He was rumored to have kept frozen baseballs handy to insert into the game when his pitchers were on the mound. He also employed a special coach who stationed himself in center field at Shibe Park to steal signs from opposing teams. Connie Mack pieced together a tremendous baseball team in the first decade of the 20th century, built in large part, around his famous “$100,000 Infield.” At the time, Mack claimed that even that lofty dollar-amount would not pry the four star players away from him. In 1911, John “Stuffy” McInnis was switched to first base to replace the aging Harry Davis, a fine player. McInnis, who earned his nickname because he had the “right stuff” as a young ballplayer in Boston, joined Eddie Collins, Jack Barry, and Frank Baker to form the greatest infield of the era. His A's from 1929-1931, had a team second to none, which featured Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Cochrane, Al Simmons, Lefty Grove, George Earnshaw, Rube Walberg, and Jack Quinn. Mack holds the all-time record for most games managed (7,755), most games won (3,731), and most games lost (3,814). His record of 50 years managing one team, and 53 years overall will most likely never be broken. Tom December 22, 1944 – Future Hall of Famer Steve Carlton is born in Miami, Florida. Rivaling Tom Seaver as the finest pitcher of the 1970s, Steve Carlton won the National League Cy Young Award in 1972 and 1977 before capturing another two trophies during the early portion of the ensuing decade. One of the greatest left-handed hurlers in the history of the game, Carlton trails only Warren Spahn in victories for a southpaw, with 329.   He also ranks fourth on the all-time strikeout list with a total of 4,136. The first pitcher to win four Cy Young Awards, Lefty, as he came to be known, surpassed 20 victories on six separate occasions, winning at least 16 games another four times. Over an 18-year stretch beginning in 1967, he failed to post at least 13 victories just once. During that same period, he also finished with an earned run average under 3.00 eight times, struck out more than 200 batters eight times, and threw at least 250 innings 13 times. Carlton remains the last National League pitcher to compile as many as 25 victories in a season, as well as the last pitcher from any team to throw more than 300 innings in a season.   December 22, 1980 — The Boston Red Sox mail Fred Lynn and Carlton Fisk their new contracts two days after the Basic Agreement's December 20 deadline. Boston's blunder makes their All-Stars eligible for free agency. Fisk will land in Chicago after a legal battle and complete a Hall of Fame career over the next decade plus. Lynn will end up traded to California with Rick Burleson, and play 11 more seasons. However, he will never have the impact he did in Boston.   This was a dark era in Boston, similar to recent times as they let a Hall of Fame player slip away, as well as trading away the soul of the team. It took several years for them to become competitive again, when Roger Clemens would arrive in the summer of 1984.     December 22, 1999 — In an interview in Sports Illustrated magazine, Atlanta Braves P John Rocker offends virtually every race and ethnic group in a hateful outburst. Community leaders, media, management, coaches, and teammates alike call for action to be taken against the lefthander, who had 38 saves for Atlanta this past season.   In a story published in the December 27, 1999 issue of Sports Illustrated, Rocker made a number of allegations stemming from his experiences in New York City and answered a question about whether he would ever play for the New York Yankees or the New York Mets.   I'd retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-wracking city. Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you're riding through Beirut-next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing… The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?   During the interview, he also spoke of his opinion of the New York Mets and their fans:   Nowhere else in the country do people spit at you, throw bottles at you, throw quarters at you, throw batteries at you and say, “Hey, I did your mother last night—she's a whore.” I talked about what degenerates they were and they proved me right.   The interview was conducted while driving to a speaking engagement in Atlanta. The reporter, Jeff Pearlman, wrote that during the interview session, Rocker spat on a Georgia State Route 400 toll machine and mocked Asian women. Also, Rocker referred to Curaçaoan teammate Randall Simon as a “fat monkey”.   Although Rocker later apologized after speaking with Braves legend and Hall of Famer Hank Aaron and former Atlanta mayor and congressman Andrew Young, he continued to make controversial remarks. For his comments, Commissioner Bud Selig suspended Rocker without pay for the remainder of spring training and the first 28 games of the 2000 season, which on appeal was reduced to 14 games (without a spring-training suspension).   December 22, 1953 –Jack Dunn III officially turns over the name “Orioles” to the St. Louis Browns, who recently were acquired in November 1953 by a syndicate of Baltimore business and civic interests led by attorney and civic activist Clarence Miles and Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro Jr.   His family had successfully operated the International League Orioles franchise for years in Baltimore, Maryland. The original Orioles, an AL charter member franchise eventually moved to New York in 1903 to eventually become the Highlanders, and then the Yankees.    The move to Baltimore was ushered in with the arrival of Brooks Robinson in 1955. They experienced their greatest success from 1966 to 1983, when they made six World Series appearances, winning three of them (1966, 1970, 1983). This era of the club featured many future Hall of Famers who would later be inducted representing the Orioles, such as third baseman Brooks Robinson, outfielder Frank Robinson, starting pitcher Jim Palmer, first baseman Eddie Murray, shortstop Cal Ripken Jr., and manager Earl Weaver.

Trevor Bauer, the reigning 2020 National League Cy Young Award winner, is headed to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The free agent announced his move to the boys in blue for a reported 3-year, $102 million deal with the club. The deal has opt-outs after the first and second years, raking in $40 million in 2021 and $45 million in 2022, according to sources. After shocking the baseball world by signing Bauer, the Dodgers will now presumably focus their attention on getting a deal done with free agent third baseman, Justin Turner. We discuss how the Trevor Bauer mega-signing impacts a potential deal with Justin Turner. Plus, the Milwaukee Brewers are reportedly still interested in signing J.T. Learn more about your ad choices.

My guest today is Trevor Bauer, who is arguably the very best pitcher in Major League Baseball. In 2020, he had the lowest Earned Run Average of any pitcher and won the National League Cy Young Award, which goes to the top pitcher in the game. I wanted to interview Trevor not only because he's an excellent pitcher, but because he takes a radical approach to the game. He's a physicist and a scientist. A scholar and an entrepreneur. And you don't find that combination very often. Furthermore, he might be the most polarizing figure in baseball. Some people love him; some people hate him. But every fan has an opinion on him. Off the field, he's the founder of Momentum, athlete-driven media company that uses storytelling to connect athletes and fans. To build it, he started a podcast and a YouTube vlog where he talks about pitching mechanics and what it's like to play professional baseball. Personally, this was one of the coolest episodes I've ever recorded. I grew up as an avid San Francisco Giants fan, and I still remember getting to the field early to get autographs and catch baseballs during batting practice. This interview would have made little 8-year old David proud, and I'm lucky to share it with you today. Please enjoy my conversation with Trevor Bauer. ____________________________ Show Notes 2:18 - How Trevor would change the way baseball is marketed and to whom it should be pitched. 5:45 - Why updating the game for a modern audience would be difficult, despite what Trevor believes would be a successful move. 11:23 - Why there aren't many unique fields like in San Francisco or Boston. 15:10 - How baseball is not being evangelized well by the people who could be doing it most easily. 19:51 - How general scientific literacy can and should be improved through sports. 23:28 - What it takes for Trevor to scientifically design his pitches and then implement them in a game. 31:00 - The business of baseball, and how Trevor has learned to maneuver its quirks and difficulties. 37:13 - If could choose anybody, who else in the sports world and beyond Trevor would want to talk to. 42:15 - How Trevor looks into the future to superpower his game. 48:07 - The dangers of getting too in-depth in analyzing your game, and how it can hurt you. 54:43 - Why you should practice analytically and perform intuitively. 56:13 - What breathing techniques Trevor employs in his game. 58:18 - The different aspects of building a business and how Trevor is handling each element differently. 1:07:30 - Why Trevor's actual goals in his work and his game aren't covered by the media. 1:10:44 - How his father helped Trevor succeed in baseball by giving him the tools he needed to work hard.

Welcome to APOTO (The Show), an all-star show hosted by Linda Surovich and Allison McCague from A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue and Brian Salvatore from Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show). This is the first, but hopefully not the last, collaborative show of this kind during the 2020/2021 offseason. First up, we discuss new Mets owner Steve Cohen’s introductory press conference, where he not only got up the hopes of the entire Mets fanbase, but also broke some new ground for ownership by saying “Black lives do matter” into a microphone at an official team event. We discuss Cohen’s wealth, his management style, and some of the ideas he hopes to implement to the Mets in 2020. Next up, we discuss Marcus Stroman, a new/old Met, who accepted the team’s Qualifying Offer on Wednesday. The $18.9 million contract helps the Mets’ rotation in a number of ways, and may allow the team to avoid playing the Trevor Bauer game, especially as his price likely rose considerably after wining the National League Cy Young Award last night. Next, the show transitions into a discussion of new Chicago White Sox manager Tony LaRussa and the revelation of his 2020 arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol. We move from this irresponsible behavior to the irresponsible behavior of Justin Turner, who celebrated on the field, mask down, after testing positive for COVID-19. Brian’s Music Pick: Stone Temple Pilots - Purple Linda’s Music Pick: Various Artist - Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Allison’s Music Picks: Frederik Wiedmann - The Dragon Prince, Season 1 Soundtrack YG and Nipsey Hustle - “FDT” Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.  You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Amazin’ Avenue Audio podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

9-19-2020 Passed Ball Show. John opens this program by talking about how Trevor Bauer has not only performed to a point where he is the favorite to win the National League Cy Young Award, he has become the prime to be sought after prize when it comes to free agency after the 2020 season. The media and general public shame players for saying their next home will be the team that pays them the most money. They are shamed to a point where they are considered selfish if they talk about it. That is why players like Bauer give the answers he gave when asked about impending free agency. Bauer says his perspective new employer will have a great medical staff and will be have a sound analytical staff. While individually both could be a tie-breaker when it comes to the team he signs with, the number one factor will unequivocally be money. It may be a choice between highest annual value and total dollar amount, but the final decision will come down to money. Jacob deGrom will never have more value at any other point of his MLB career than this upcoming offseason. Because of that, the Mets should at least entertain the possibility of trading him for an overwhelming return. John proposed ten different trade scenarios, all centered around four top pitching prospects and one top position player, preferably a catcher. John finishes off this show by talking about the voting process when it comes to the NBA regular season awards. LeBron James points out its inconsistency and how the voting is not set upon the same criteria each season. While Giannis Antetokounmpo deserved the award almost hands down, LeBron expressed his disappointment over receiving only 16 of the 105 votes. While that seems a little sore, his issue with the voting process over the past twenty years is legit.

Mike Scott won the Cy Young in 1986 with Houston Astros, but his greatest moment of the season was how they clinched the NL West Title. Michael Warren Scott (born April 26, 1955) is a former right-handed pitcher for the New York Mets and the Houston Astros. He won the National League Cy Young Award in 1986. Scott is part of a select group of pitchers that have thrown a no-hitter and struck out 300 batters in the same season.
