Bobby and Alex discuss the surprising news that Munetaka Murakami — once considered one of the top free agents on the market this year — has signed a two-year, $34 million contract with the Chicago White Sox. Then, they discuss the final luxury tax payment figures that came out this past week and what, if anything, it says that the Dodgers paid more in luxury tax than the bottom 12 teams paid in total payroll. Finally, they review the Tipping Pitches 2025 bingo card, a decently funny effort that ultimately flopped when it came to, uh, most of the things happening.Links:Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon Tipping Pitches merchandise Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.
Nick Kirby breaks down the latest trade rumors linking the Cincinnati Reds to White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. According to Bob Nightengale, Chicago is engaged in talks with both the Reds and Mets as they look to move Robert for pitching depth. Nick examines why the White Sox are exploring a trade now, despite exercising Robert's $20 million option for 2026, and what their true motivations may be. The episode covers Robert's career arc, contract situation, injury history, and upside, along with potential trade frameworks involving Reds pitchers or top prospects if Chicago is willing to eat salary. Nick also evaluates the risk vs. reward for Cincinnati and whether this gamble makes sense given the Reds' current roster and payroll constraints. Plus, quick thoughts on the Cardinals trading Willson Contreras to the Red Sox and growing concerns surrounding Main Street Sports Group and FanDuel Sports Network.

Baltimore Orioles beat reporter Matt Weyrich from The Baltimore Sun visits the Jack Vita Show to chat about the O's highly active offseason. The Orioles are making quick work of the offseason. The club signed former New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso to a five-year, $155 million contract, the richest free agent deal in franchise history. The O's patched up their bullpen, inking closer Ryan Helsley to a two-year, $28 million deal. Baltimore has also been very active in the trade market. Last month, the club dealt promising young pitcher Grayson Rodriguez to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for outfielder Taylor Ward, in a rare, one-for-one trade. Then, the club turned around and acquired pitching, trading prospects Slater de Brun, Caden Bodine, Michael Forret, Austin Overn, and a Competitive Balance Round A draft pick to the Tampa Bay Rays for starting pitcher Shane Baz. Matt is here to break it all down with Jack, discussing how the Alonso deal came to fruition, and how the O's lineup stacks up with him and Taylor Ward in it. Full transparency, this episode was taped before the Orioles acquired Baz, so Jack and Matt discuss how they expect the O's to address their starting pitching needs this winter. Can Orioles fans expect their team to add another high-profile starting pitcher before Spring Training? Later, Matt celebrates his James Madison Dukes' playoff berth. Matt is a 2019 graduate of JMU and never thought he'd see the day that his school would be participating in the College Football Playoff. Matt and Jack talk about the College Football Playoff system, and discuss how things shook out this year. All this, and so much more, only on the Jack Vita Show!

Infinite Inning 356 Did a Hall of Fame Manager Break Three Prospects? A long-promised Casey Stengel episode asks why the press reacted badly when the Ol' Perfesser was named Yankees manager in the fall of 1948, and what it had to do with three busted Braves prospects. And with Venezuela on our minds we recall a recent outfielder who viewed the wall and a dog who feared the hand, perhaps for similar reasons.The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

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.

Send us a textChris Scopo grew up in Queens as the son of a Mets fan. He really had no choice. He started rooting for the Mets a couple years after they won the World Series in 1986 and is still waiting to celebrate. They are ruining his life. But he's making the most of it. He's been doing stand-up in New York City since 2010 and works with Robert Kelly and Andrew Shultz, among others. He just started a new show, Working Out with Comics, where he invites comedians to work out in the gym in the basement of his building in Queens.

In a massive, wide-ranging interview, Alex Rodriguez joins Brandon Tierney to deliver a masterclass on the current state of the game. A-Rod doesn't pull any punches, declaring the Yankees' organizational hitting philosophy "absolutely broken" and critiquing the development of Anthony Volpe, arguing the team is forcing a "little guy" to play a "big boy game" that neuters his best assets. The two discuss the ticking clock on Aaron Judge's prime, the criteria for signing free agents like Cody Bellinger, and the "sad" takeover of data-driven analytics that has sidelined traditional baseball people. A-Rod also shares intimate reflections on his HBO documentary, the healing process of turning 50, and hilarious behind-the-scenes stories about David Ortiz and his relationship with the "2009 Homeboys." From Pete Alonso's exit from the Mets to his own refusal to manage in today's patient-less league, this is A-Rod at his most transparent and passionate.
In a morning segment dripping with New York intensity, Brandon Tierney breaks down a shockwave of tweets from Mets owner Steve Cohen. Reacting to a New York Post article suggesting a payroll dip for 2026, Cohen fired off an aggressive defense, labeling his critics "the usual idiots" and insisting he "can't imagine" the budget being lower than last year. BT analyzes the owner's shift in tone—from the "scepter-wielding" savior to a billionaire arguing about waiver claims and minor league movement. While Tierney maintains his support for Cohen, he issues a stern warning: after losing Pete Alonso to the Orioles and Edwin Díaz to the Dodgers, a Twitter war with fans isn't the victory Mets fans are looking for. Steve is feeling the heat, and if he doesn't land a big fish before Fan Fest, the reception at Citi Field won't be pretty.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 42: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump is drowning. Trump’s presidency is DROWNING. Yesterday, it was Republicans forcing a vote to extend Obamacare subsidies. Yesterday, 38 PERCENT approval in the Marist poll. Monday, his Rob Reiner tweet that appalled even the worst of MAGA. Tuesday, Susie Wiles. Friday, the Epstein Files, proving: no, history doesn’t repeat itself but yes, sometimes it LITERALLY rhymes. The Venezuela Wag-The-Dog episode collapsed before it started. It's about Narco-terrorism, whatever the eff that is? Oil? Stuff they stole? Nuh uh. For the first but not the last time we turn to Susie Wiles for the, uh, well, it’s a strange word to use about the Trump administration but here it is: TRUTH. "He wants to keep on blowing boats up until [president Nicolás] Maduro cries uncle. And people way smarter than me on that say that he will." She also single-handedly ended the just-forming prosecution of Jack Smith, and the vowed prosecution of Anthony Fauci, and the already-moribund prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James and Adam Schiff and and and…All those cases will be thrown out of court. All of them. Because Susie Wiles is on tape saying quote “I don’t think he wakes up thinking about retribution but when there’s an opportunity he will go for it.” About Comey, quote: “I mean, people could think it does look vindictive. I can’t tell you why you shouldn’t think that.” Trump’s chief of staff. Confirming it’s retribution. And retribution means selective prosecution and selective prosecution is illegal and you not only get the case thrown out, if you’ve had to defend yourself or your reputation has been hurt, you can sue the government. And it’s on TAPE. So why did she say it? Why did she think she could get away with it? Because inside the White House even the Chief of Staff knows Trump is drowning. And they are beginning to distance themselves from him. B-Block (27:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Laura Ingraham doesn't know Niagara Falls is in Ontario or Ontario is in Canada or that Premier Doug Ford isn't an American. I make bad choices in Exes. And these MAGA idiots just cannot see anything in the world any more without trying to force it into their brain-dead templates: it MUST be political and it MUST be an attack on Trump. New York City councilwoman Vickie Paladino "knows" the terrible shooting was an attack on Republicans at Brown University, and the moronic troll "Cat Turd" is sure they're wiping the shooter's social media history clean (which is an idea he should execute). C-Block (37:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I'm off by only four days from the exact anniversary, but it is now 42 years since I first met and interviewed Trump and I know most of us who knew him before knew he was nuts, but I must give myself credit. An hour after that meeting I was asking a colleague "what the eff is wrong with THAT guy?"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mets continue their bullpen blitz by adding Luke Weaver, while the crew bids a chilly farewell to Rich Ackerman and his fridge-cold stuffed shells. Between updates on Puka Nacua's ref conspiracy and the awkward fallout of Tua's demotion in Miami, we look at Myles Garrett's quiet pursuit of the sack record and say goodbye to longtime colleagues at our holiday breakfast.
On today's show, we break down a packed slate starting with the Knicks' potential rest day after their Cup Championship and the brewing chaos in Miami as Tua is demoted to third string for Quinn Ewers. We debate Aaron Glenn's future with the Jets, Sam Darnold's high-stakes "moment of truth" tonight against the Seahawks, and Joe Burrow's increasingly cryptic press conferences in Cincinnati. Plus, we cover the Mets' latest bullpen additions, Puka Nacua's wild referee conspiracy theories, and a bittersweet farewell to Rich Ackerman—complete with a side of cold stuffed shells. From the complexities of Kirk Cousins' progressions to a heated debate over Boomer showing up sick to a "sterno-free" office breakfast, it's a full morning of drama, transitions, and Thursday night football.
The Mets added another Yankees reliever - Luke Weaver - after signing Devin Williams earlier. Where will Cody Bellinger end up?
Brodes hosted on WIP during Thursday overnight filling in for Jon Johnson talking about the Phillies window being closed.
Mariners broadcaster Gary Hill joins the show to talk about Jorge Polanco signing a big contract with the Mets, where the Mariners pivot to after losing Polanco, the M’s potential free agent targets, and much more. They make their predictions for tomorrow’s game against the Rams in Call It Now. And they talk about Patrick Mahome’s injury, Pete Carroll’s struggles with the Raiders, and more in Sweeping the Dial.
In this week's new commentary, we wonder how major league strikeout leader James Wood can reduce his strikeouts by 600 percent in 2026. Then we return to early 2008 for a look at some deleterious, franchise-damaging or -destroying decisions, including a regrettable early mistake in free agency and Connie Mack's decision to run his team like it was the 1910s even though almost 40 years had passed. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?
For the 2nd time this month, the Mets have signed a Yankees free-agent reliever. First, Devin Williams. Now, Luke Weaver. The Yanks have been unusually quiet, but maybe not for long. Rumors are swirling around them in both the FA and trade markets.
