Oilers trade rumours and Baggedmilk's Olympic triviaIt's Tuesday afternoon, and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today's episode, the guys discussed the Oilers at the Olympics, Team Canada's line combinations, a potential trade idea for Andrew Mangiapane, and much more.We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the L.A. Dodgers and how the odds for them to win the NL West in the MLB are so heavily skewed that it almost doesn't make sense to bet on. That led to a similar conversation about whether Canada vs. USA is a lock to meet in the men's finals, and whether being the two best teams in the tournament on paper means this will be the matchup. Changing gears, we looked at the line combinations for Team Canada on the men's side. Given that Team Canada is pretty close to icing an all-star team, it was fun to hear the boys' thoughts on who will be playing where. They also looked at the advanced betting lines ahead of Thursday's game against Czechia and how everyone thinks the team will fare despite the different style of hockey played in international tournaments. Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Baggedmilk's Trivia. With none of the other boys coming up with anything new, the guys went back to old faithful with a round of Olympics-related Baggedmilk Trivia questions. Think you know your Olympic Winter Games history? This round of trivia was for you. Did the quizmaster have to step in? Did Baggedmilk get his questions right? You'll have to listen to find out for sure.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Fantasy Baseball Live – January 25, 2026 – 3:00pmMicrosoft TeamsSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Braves get bad news this week as Ha-Seong Kim suffered a hand injury and will miss at least the first half of the season. Are the Braves really going to battle with Mauricio Dubon at shortstop?a.If so, how much does his value increase?2.The White Sox finally trade Luis Roberts – moving him to the Mets IF/OF Luisangel Acuna and RHP Truman Pauleya.The deal felt a little light for me, but maybe Roberts is more famous than good, posting a sub .300 OBP the last two seasons. He did steal 33 bases in 2025. i.Does this give him a new lease with a chance to produce the 38-20 season he did in 2023, or was that just an outlier?ii.Acuna is slated to start in center field and if true, I'm assuming his draft value goes up?1.Stat line for 2026: AB, HR, SB, and BAiii.Let's compare the Mets lineup to the Dodgers.3.The Mets also acquired Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers from the Brewers for SS Jett Williams and RHP Brandon Sproat.a.WOW – huge trade as the Brewers once again move an ace pitcher with one more year of team control. However, unlike their 2024 deal to the Orioles for Corbin Burnes, they get two high-end prospects. Thoughts on the deal?b.Does Sproat start the season in the Brewers rotation? If not, when do you see him up?c.How long until Williams is in Milwaukee to either play shortstop or center field?4.The Rangers acquired MacKenzie Gore for five prospects – SS Gavin Fein, RHP Alejandro Rosario, 1B Abimelec Ortiz, SS Devin Fitz-Gerald, and OF Yeremy Cabreraa.This one is a quantity deal for the Nationals as only Ortiz is near-ready for the big leagues. What do you think of the deal?Segment 2 – Fantasy Questions of the NL WestLos Angeles Dodgers1.Andy Pages is a divisive player coming into 2026. He looked pretty good during the season, but in the playoffs, he was awful. He's the 29th outfielder off the board. Too high, too low, or just right?2.Does Dalton Rushing get enough at-bats to be rostered in 2026? His ADP is 403 (27th round).3.Hyesong Kim didn't play much last season, but is penciled into the starting second base position entering the 2026 season. Over/Under 30 home runs/stolen bases in 2026?a.His ADP is 443 – 39th second baseman off the board.4.One fallout of the Edwin Diaz signing is that Roki Sasaki will not start the season as the closer. He's listed as the Dodgers' 6th starter. He's the 79th pitcher off the board; let's call it a Top 60 pitcher. Does that feel good to you? Too high, too low?a.We will look at other pitchers going around where his is going.5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)San Diego Padres1.Jackson Merrill – 2026 stat line – AB, HR, SB, and BA2.Ramon Laureano finally broke the stigma of not being able to hit right-handed pitching. He posted the same batting average against both arms and hit 15 of his 24 home runs against right-handed pitching. After the trade to San Diego, he kept on hitting – 9 home runs in the last two months.a.Are you buying this breakout?b.The NBFC really isn't as he's the 55th outfielder off the board.3.I think I recall you willing to take a flyer on Sung Mun Song. Is that still your take?4.Joe Musgrove will cost you an 18th-round pick. Are you interested?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)San Francisco Giants1.Bryce Eldridge is listed as the starting DH in San Francisco. Will this play out?a.Over/Under 400 ABs in 20262.Will Drew Gilbert get enough playing time to make a difference in 2026?3.Luis Matos hit eight home runs in 57 games last season. He makes great contact with solid exit velocity and launch angle data. There's even average speed?a.Is he a little undervalued with an ADP of 600?4.Landen Roupp (417) or Kai-Wei Teng (627). Who would you rather draft in a Draft and Hold League?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Close
La NL West, c'est un peu une salle de classe où un élève surdoué écrase tout le monde, deux autres essayent d'exister, et les derniers regardent l'horloge en attendant la sonnerie.

Segment 1 – Fantasy Questions of the NL West – Diamondbacks and RockiesArizona Diamondbacks1.Geraldo Perdomo broke out in a big way in 2025 with 20 home runs, 27 stolen bases, and a .290 batting average. The data suggests being wary of repeats in power and speed. What do you say?2.Jordan Lawlar – AB, HR, SB, and BA3.Are the Diamondbacks going to go to war with Alek Thomas in center field and Blaze Alexander in left field? If so, do you have any interest in either?4.I've got Brandon Pfaadt wrong, as I thought he would be more than a 5.25 ERA pitcher.
