En el episodio de hoy de Baseball News, abordamos un tema candente que podría cambiar el rumbo de los Yankees: 1. Munetaka Murakami en la mira de los Yankees: El poderoso slugger japonés, Munetaka Murakami, podría ser el próximo gran fichaje de los Yankees. Con 56 jonrones en 2022 y una Triple Corona en la NPB, Murakami ha sido comparado con leyendas como Hideki Matsui. Aunque su defensa en tercera base es cuestionable, su versatilidad le permite jugar en primera base y en el jardín izquierdo. Los Yankees, con un vacío evidente en la tercera base y sin una solución inmediata en su sistema de ligas menores, podrían ser el destino ideal para Murakami una vez que sea posteado por los Tokyo Yakult Swallows al finalizar la temporada 2025 . 2. Otros titulares destacados: Francisco Lindor conecta un elevado de sacrificio para que los Mets dejen en el terreno a los Medias Blancas. Anthony Volpe impulsa la victoria de los Yankees sobre los Angels con un doblete clave. Shohei Ohtani inicia el juego con su jonrón número 19 de la temporada, liderando a los Dodgers sobre los Guardians. Jackson Chourio y Andrew Monasterio impulsan a los Cerveceros en su triunfo ante los Medias Rojas. Manny Machado conecta un jonrón clave en la octava entrada y los Padres dejan tendidos a los Marlins en once entradas. Keider Montero brilla desde la lomita en la victoria de los Tigres sobre los Gigantes. Kevin Gausman lanza ocho sólidas entradas y Daulton Varsho conecta un jonrón en el triunfo de los Azulejos sobre los Rangers. #MunetakaMurakami #Yankees #MLB #BaseballNews #ShoheiOhtani #FranciscoLindor #AnthonyVolpe #MannyMachadoConviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/con-las-bases-llenas-podcast-de-beisbol--2742086/support.

In a flavorful new episode of The Peanut Podcast, NPB co-hosts Lauren Highfill Williams and Ashton Pellom take listeners on a delicious deep dive into one of America's most beloved pantry staples: peanut butter. With this being the first-ever episode available in both video and audio formats, fans can now see the peanut passion in action. The hosts are joined by four leading voices in peanut butter: Lee Zalben, founder of Peanut Butter & Co.; Sarah Johnson of Skippy; Dr. Lisa Dean from USDA; and Dr. Gabrielle Harris from NC State.Lee Zalben kicks things off with a sensory breakdown of why peanut butter hits all the right notes. “It's that creamy texture... and that kind of roasted flavor and some kind of sweetness… a little bit of salt, a little bit of savoriness,” he explains, offering listeners a glimpse into flavor science. Meanwhile, Dr. Gabrielle Harris peels back the curtain on the Maillard reaction—the chemical magic behind that irresistible roasted peanut taste: “This produces those wonderful roasted flavors, aromas, and colors.”The episode also uncovers the journey peanuts take from farm to jar, with Dr. Lisa Dean walking through harvesting and drying methods, while Sarah Johnson emphasizes the roasting process as a crucial first step: “It enhances the flavor of the nut itself. It makes them a little bit easier for the process.” Fun fact: crunchy peanut butter is just smooth peanut butter with chopped peanuts mixed in!Beyond flavor, the conversation shifts to nutrition and sustainability. Dr. Harris calls peanut butter a “functional food” and swears by its staying power during long days: “A scoop of peanut butter will keep me going for a couple of hours.” Lee Zalben highlights its sustainability edge, explaining that peanuts are nitrogen-fixing, water-efficient crops. Whether you're a creamy or crunchy devotee, this episode delivers a smart, fun, and crave-worthy celebration of peanut butter.Ready to go beyond the sandwich? Listen or watch episode 33 now and get the full scoop—smooth or crunchy—on peanut butter.

Welcome to Episode 49 of TableSetters! Devin and Steve are back with all the latest MLB offseason news, from the loss of one of the game's greatest players to significant trades and signings that are shaping the 2025 season. We begin by honoring the life and career of Rickey Henderson, the all-time stolen base king, who tragically passed away at the age of 65. Remembered for his incredible speed, plate discipline, and impact on the game, Henderson leaves behind a legacy that will never be forgotten. His longtime friend and teammate Dave Winfield confirmed the news, and we reflect on Rickey's unparalleled contribution to the sport, from his historic career with the Athletics, Blue Jays, and others, to his iconic postseason moments. Turning our attention to the offseason, the Red Sox have made a big move, signing Walker Buehler to a one-year, $21.05 million contract. Buehler, whose career has been on a rollercoaster ride since undergoing Tommy John surgery, showed signs of his former dominance during the 2024 postseason, including 10 scoreless innings. If he can return to full form, he could be a game-changer for the Red Sox, who are still looking to add more pieces for their 2025 roster. Meanwhile, the Rangers have strengthened their lineup by signing Joc Pederson to a two-year, $37 million deal. Pederson's left-handed power was a much-needed addition, addressing the team's hole at designated hitter. With their recent additions, including Jake Burger and Kyle Higashioka, the Rangers are aiming for a more potent offense to complement their pitching staff. The Astros also made a significant move, signing Christian Walker to a three-year, $60 million contract. With first base an area of concern after a lackluster 2024 campaign from Jose Abreu and Jon Singleton, Walker brings defensive prowess and consistent offensive production. His arrival signals the Astros' continued commitment to staying competitive as their payroll surpasses the luxury tax threshold for the second consecutive year. Elsewhere, the Phillies have bolstered their pitching staff by acquiring Jesús Luzardo from the Marlins in exchange for top prospects. Luzardo, now slotted as the No. 2 starter behind Zack Wheeler, adds much-needed depth to a Phillies rotation that's hoping to contend for another postseason berth. Meanwhile, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is reportedly seeking a record-breaking contract extension from the Blue Jays, turning down their current $340 million offer in favor of a deal closer to the $500-$600 million range. This will undoubtedly be one of the offseason's biggest storylines as the Jays are under increasing pressure to meet his demands or risk losing their superstar in the near future. As the offseason heats up, one of the most exciting international stories is Roki Sasaki, the Japanese pitching sensation drawing significant interest from MLB teams. Known for his perfect game in 2022 and his dominance in NPB, Sasaki is poised to make a big impact once he makes his MLB debut, and teams like the Rangers, Giants, Yankees, and Mets are all in the mix for his services. The Marlins are continuing their rebuild, focusing on player development and long-term sustainability. With moves like trading Luzardo to the Phillies, they're looking to build a future that prioritizes young talent and a more stable payroll structure. In other news, the Rays have taken a low-risk gamble by signing Eloy Jimenez to a minor league deal. Despite his struggles in 2024, Jimenez's potential bat could give the Rays an added offensive boost if he returns to form in 2025. We also take a look at the luxury tax picture, with nine MLB teams exceeding the $237 million threshold in 2024. This includes the Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees, who will face draft pick penalties and other financial consequences as a result. We break down what this means for the landscape of the offseason and how it could impact these teams' future moves. Finally, we turn our attention to the Mets, who have been extremely active this offseason. After signing Juan Soto, the Mets are looking to further solidify their roster, with a potential trade for Pete Alonso still on the table. Their pitching staff has also seen some changes, with new additions like Sean Manaea, Frankie Montas, and Clay Holmes strengthening their rotation for 2025.
