Edward Cabrera is off the board, and not to the Yankees. With Ken Rosenthal reporting the Cubs land the hard-throwing righty, the conversation shifts to what this means for New York's offseason plan, why Cabrera made sense as a target (upside, velocity, control), and why the Cody Bellinger situation might be clogging up every other move. From there, it turns into a bigger picture Yankees debate: how badly do they really need another starter, what kind of trade is coming next, and what happens when the rotation logjam hits in May. Plus, the show veers into peak chaos with Harbaugh countdown talk, tanking jokes that can get you in trouble, and an all-time “take the L” moment as Sean gets called out on the Stefanski playoff win debate.

In this week's new discussion, the story of a Yankees prospect who might have made it if not for a certain United Nations police action overseas. Then we return to 2017 for a look back at one of the show's earliest episodes and what was happening in the game on the days the United States went to war. Gee, I wonder what brough that one to mind? 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?

Send us a textOld-time baseball isn't a museum piece—it's a masterclass hiding in plain sight. We invited Jim Koenigsberger, a gifted storyteller of America's pastime, to trace how legends like Yogi Berra, Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, Ted Williams, and Rickey Henderson still shape the smartest coaching on today's fields. What emerges is a fresh, practical lens on development, durability, and the decisions that win games.We start with Yogi's real greatness—RBI crowns on stacked Yankees teams, marathon doubleheaders, and humble service—then connect it to the coach's eye test that numbers can't replace. From there, we follow Jackie's path through a welcoming Montreal and onto a hostile national stage, using that journey to rethink how context unlocks performance. Jim brings the Negro Leagues into full focus, arguing that the Monarchs and Homestead Grays could hang with any era, and that their players' versatility should reshape how we teach roles, reps, and resilience.Development takes center stage as we challenge the two-pitch prospect pipeline and spotlight simple safeguards—pitch counts, rest rules, and patience—that actually protect arms. Ted Williams becomes our hitting blueprint: elite vision, relentless practice, and mentorship from Jimmie Foxx, all bookended by combat service that interrupted but never dimmed his prime. Finally, we reclaim the running game with Rickey Henderson's playbook, showing how intelligent aggression pressures modern defenses when paired with reads, jumps, and situational awareness.If you're a coach, parent, or fan who believes the past can coach the present, this conversation delivers tools you can use tomorrow—sharper practice plans, better development paths, and a renewed love for the craft. Subscribe, share with a coaching friend, and leave a review to help more baseball people find these stories and turn them into wins.Support the show Follow: Twitter | Instagram @Athlete1Podcast Website - https://www.athlete1.net Sponsor: The Netting Professionals https://www.nettingpros.com

Time for Cinco de Lunch-o the show turns into a full-blown vent session for New York football fans. Evan and Shaun rank the five figureheads fans should be most furious with, starting with the Giants' defensive mess and ending with the most infuriating answer of all: how the Giants can justify bringing Joe Schoen back. Along the way, they debate whether Aaron Glenn's “tough guy” approach should matter, and why Jets ownership keeps making the job feel impossible. Then the show pivots into baseball with a hilarious MLB free agency bingo update where everybody whiffs on where Murakami would land. That leads into Evan's frustration with the Mets and Yankees seemingly passing on a perfect fit from Japan, and why the price tag makes it even more annoying. The segment closes with a surprisingly honest conversation about being a sports fan: you scream, you vent, and then you're forced to live with whatever your team does. Plus, a quick dive into early 2026 win totals and why Mets fans might have to accept an “86 wins is fine” mindset on January 6. Finally, the phones bring the chaos, including coaching takes, a Nets trade detour, and an all-time moment with a “17-year-old” caller who is definitely, absolutely, totally not cutting school.
FULL SHOW: Evan and Shaun debate if Kevin Stefanski is the right hire as the new Giants Head Coach. Plus, reacting to Mougey and Glenn's press conference, Yankees offseason talk, Bill Belichick is not a legitimate HC candidate for the Giants, the Knicks have looked lifeless since the NBA Cup, and much more.

Baseball's 1926 World Series was more than just a championship showdown — it was emblematic of America in a decade defined by financial excess, social rebellion, and societal reinvention. We explore that dramatic showdown through "Baseball in the Roaring Twenties: The Yankees, the Cardinals, and the Captivating 1926 Season," a riveting new book by historian and author Thomas Wolf. Wolf takes us beyond the box scores of this unforgettable seven-game clash between Babe Ruth's New York Yankees and Rogers Hornsby's St. Louis Cardinals. He traces Ruth's improbable resurgence from a disastrous 1925 season — a comeback that reignited the public imagination—and revisits the iconic moments that still echo through baseball history, from Grover Cleveland Alexander's legendary Game 7 performance to Ruth's controversial, series-ending stolen base attempt. But the story extends well beyond the field. Wolf situates the Series within the broader cultural currents of the Jazz Age: Prohibition-era speakeasies, a rapidly modernizing society, and the parallel world of the Negro Leagues, where Rube Foster's bold vision flourished even as hopes for integration faced overwhelming resistance. The conversation also uncovers lesser-known (and darker) chapters, including the game-fixing scandal involving Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker that surfaced during the Series, and Commissioner Judge Landis's unexpectedly lenient response. A historian and lifelong baseball devotee, Wolf has long examined baseball's cultural meaning. "Baseball in the Roaring Twenties" is his most ambitious work yet — using one remarkable season to probe the contradictions, triumphs, and tensions at the heart of 1920s America. + + + SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): "Baseball in the Roaring Twenties: The Yankees, the Cardinals, and the Captivating 1926 Season" https://amzn.to/4q2oWGV SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

This is encouraging news. Whether you are sold on this potential trade or not, it is good to see the Yankees positioned to have an active week on the market.

Episode 128 of Tablesetters is a mini reaction pod focused on a pivotal stretch of the offseason where one signing, one trade market, and one free agent begin to reshape how teams are positioning themselves for 2026. We open in Toronto, where the Blue Jays officially make their long-anticipated breakthrough in the Japanese market by signing Kazuma Okamoto to a four-year, $60 million contract just ahead of the expiration of his 45-day posting window. The deal is a straight four-year agreement with no opt-outs, structured as a $5 million signing bonus, a $7 million salary in 2026, and $16 million salaries in each of the final three seasons, with Okamoto represented by the Boras Corporation. To create a 40-man roster spot, Toronto designated right-hander Paxton Schultz for assignment. MLB Trade Rumors ranked Okamoto 19th on its top 50 free agents list and projected a four-year, $64 million deal, putting the final terms right in line with expectations. The signing also triggers a $10.875 million posting fee to the Yomiuri Giants under the NPB–MLB posting system. From there, we break down what Okamoto's arrival does to the Blue Jays' roster construction. The 29-year-old projects as Toronto's regular third baseman, while also bringing experience at first base and in the outfield. His versatility creates ripple effects across the lineup, including a likely platoon with Addison Barger at third base, more consistent second base work for Ernie Clement, and a positional shift that moves Andrés Giménez from second base to everyday shortstop. We also examine how the picture changes if Bo Bichette re-signs, and how crowded things could become if Toronto lands another rumored target like Kyle Tucker. The signing adds another layer to an offseason for a Blue Jays team that came within two outs of winning Game 7 of the World Series, following earlier pitching additions like Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, and Tyler Rogers. It also effectively closes the door on pursuits of Alex Bregman and Yoán Moncada unless Toronto makes the unconventional decision to deploy Okamoto primarily in the outfield. Next, we shift to the trade market, where Edward Cabrera has emerged as one of the most consequential arms potentially available. The Yankees are actively engaged in discussions with the Marlins while also remaining involved on Freddy Peralta, with the Mets and Cubs also expressing interest in Cabrera. We break down why Cabrera's 2025 season, his power profile, his remaining club control through 2028, and his projected $3.7 million arbitration salary make him such an attractive target. We also examine the injury concerns that complicate his value, the Yankees' urgent rotation needs with Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón set to open the year on the injured list, and why Cabrera's affordability matters for both New York and Chicago as they juggle payroll, roster needs, and other offensive pursuits. For the Mets, we look at how their rotation has remained largely untouched despite major position-player turnover, and why their collection of young infield talent could factor into any serious push for pitching. We close with the expanding market for Cody Bellinger, as the Cubs check in and join a group that already includes the Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Mets, Angels, Blue Jays, and Phillies at various points this offseason. We discuss why Chicago's interest reads as due diligence rather than a clear pivot, how Bellinger fits their roster, and why prospect timelines complicate any reunion. From there, we focus on the Yankees, where Bellinger remains the top offseason priority and negotiations have escalated to a second formal offer. We break down the roster logjam his return would create, how it impacts Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones, and why a Bellinger deal could directly intersect with New York's pursuit of Edward Cabrera. Steve and Devin connect the dots across international markets, trade leverage, payroll pressure, and roster math, focusing less on headlines and more on what these developments reveal about how teams believe they need to be built to win in 2026. ⚾️ One signing changes the board, trade talks gain momentum, and leverage begins to shift.
