As trades poured in before the 6 p.m. ET deadline, the Baseball Bar-B-Cast was there to react and respond to the flurry of moves.Jack Mintz and Jordan Shusterman shared their thoughts on every move made before the deadline, including the shocking Houston Astros–Minnesota Twins deal that saw Carlos Correa returning to the team where he first broke into the league. They also discussed A.J. Preller wheelin' and dealin' again for the San Diego Padres, most notably acquiring flame-throwing closer Mason Miller from the Sacramento A's.Also on this very special live show episode, the guys talk about the crosstown rivals — the New York Mets and New York Yankees — and their very active deadlines, the Seattle Mariners acquiring the big bat of Eugenio Suárez to power up their lineup and then give their takes on which teams won and lost the deadline.

The A's getting quite the return for Miller and Sears. Catching fly balls with two hands. Jackson's duffed hybrid.(18:47-33:48) An email from a listener on Cardinal season tickets and fan apathy.

We're still waiting for the first move, but rumors are picking up around the Padres. Darnay checks in with Jon & Jim to see how they're feeling a week out from the MLB Trade Deadline. Is a Dylan Cease trade a given? What about Robert Suarez? Jake Cronenworth? Is Sandy Alcantara a real possibility? What about Steven Kwan? How could the deadline and the months that follow impact A.J. Preller's future? And will the rest of the season look more like 2024 or 2021?

Welcome back to Tablesetters for Episode 95 — and joining us once again is a fan favorite from Episode 55: Matt Devine of Devine Sports Gospel. Known for his sharp takes, infectious humor, and deep pulse on Padres baseball, Matt returns just in time for one of the most pivotal moments of the season: the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline. We begin where San Diego fans want us to: What is A.J. Preller cooking? With the Padres sitting on the edge of contention, Matt helps us break down whether Preller is ready to go all-in, or if we're staring at a rare hybrid approach. We get into potential trade targets like Dylan Cease, Michael King, and even some left-field and catching upgrades — from big splashes to bargain bats. From there, we widen the lens across the league: – Could the D-backs become surprise sellers? – What's next for the Orioles? – Who is ready to outbid the market for Eugenio Suárez? – Will contenders like the Mariners, Yankees, and Phillies go aggressive or stay calculated? And just as the October picture starts to take shape, we unpack a few major stories from around the league: ⚾ Jacob Misiorowski's innings management — Milwaukee's flamethrower might be the most electric rookie in baseball, but his workload is clearly under tight restriction. We break down what that means for the Brewers' October blueprint. ⚾ Rafael Devers at first base? It finally happened — just not in a Red Sox uniform. His first game in the field for the Giants came in the midst of a losing streak, but it may have sparked a turnaround in San Francisco. We explore the implications for both the Giants and Boston's long-term handling of Devers. We also put Devin through a round of Buy or Sell, where we debate: – Will Cal Raleigh break the Mariners' single-season HR record? – And are Mason Miller and Emmanuel Clase really off the board — or just expensive? We also have a great new addition, it's time for a brand-new edition of Blind Rankings — where Devin and Matt team up to rank some of the greatest Trade Deadline Rentals in modern MLB history. From Céspedes' 2015 magic and “Mannywood” in LA, we reflect on the short-term heroes who left a lasting legacy.

Day one of Padres Spring Training ended with a surprise - they have money to spend! A.J. Preller added a key piece to the rotation with the addition of Nick Pivetta. Sammy Levitt joins to discuss the righty and what he brings to the table. Will he be the next arm to benefit from Ruben Niebla's genius? Will they keep Dylan Cease and go for it in 2025? They have left fielders now too! But A.J. isn't done! Sammy shares his early impressions from Peoria.
Chris and Skraby closed up shop with some more AJ Preller audio from his media scrum earlier today and broke it down.
THE RED SOX HAVE DONE IT!!Emergency pod featuring Jordan, Jack and Tim because the Boston Red Sox made a big market move, signing Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract with opt-outs after the first two seasons.Shoutout A.J. Preller for signing Nick Pivetta, thus giving the Red Sox a compensation pick an hour before Boston forfeited their second rounder to sign Bregman.How do the Yankees respond? Could the Red Sox still not be done? All things answered on this episode! Make sure to follow us on Twitter, @ThePeskyReport. We are officially a part of Beyond The MonsterTwitter: @BeyondtheMnstrSubstack:https://beyondthemonster.substack.com/
We talked about the Padres signings, what's next, and talked about some bets in The Daily Gambit.
A.J. Preller and the San Diego Padres have had one of the quietest offseason in all of Major League Baseball... excluding the lawsuit between Sheel Seidler and the Seidler Brothers. Does any team in the National League West even have one bad transaction as awful as the Friar's winter? Los Angeles signed arguably the three or four best free agents in Roki Sasaki, Blake Snell, Tanner Scott and Teoscar Hernández. Were the Dodgers trades to acquire international bonus pool money and the Gavin Lux swap with the Cincinnati Reds better than any the Colorado Rockies achieved? Plus, Arizona Diamondbacks signed an ace in Corbin Burnes and the San Francisco Giants signed a future Hall of Famer in Justin Verlander. Include the Willy Adames deal and can it be argued that the Giants had the best offseason in the division?
Ben, Woods, and Paulie are here for you on a Wednesday morning! We start the show with a little foreplay which involves an entire conversation on why Ben cannot wear hats. Then we set the menu for today's show before we get to some Padres talk, and continue to wonder WHEN will AJ Preller finally strike, and what will it look like with there still being several holes on the roster. Listen here!
The Roki Sasaki dream is dashed. The Dodgers added a top reliever and former Padre in Tanner Scott. And the Padres remain mostly quiet. Darren Smith joins Darnay to discuss the challenging path forward for A.J. Preller. Is it time to sell off parts and rebuild? Can they keep everyone in place for another run in 2025? The Dodgers' big offseason has been a source of frustration, but where should our ire really be directed? And how does the uncertainty in 2025 compare to how we were feeling about the Padres a year ago?
A new Dave and Jeff Show is available. What's next for the Padres? Also, are you set for Christmas? We give you this year's holiday tips.
Should Preller trade Cease? SDSU women's basketball coach Stacie Terry-Hutson Joins The Show. Play of the year in Major League Baseball?
A new Dave and Jeff Show is available. Can the Padres run it back with the same players that made 2024 so memorable? Could Dylan Cease and Michael King be traded, and what's next for A.J. Preller? We tell you what we think in this episode.
Sammy Levitt returns to share what he learned in Dallas at Winter Meetings. We finally heard from Roki Sasaki's camp - was there any news of substance amongst all the noise? The Padres might need to deal Dylan Cease. And are teams hitting up A.J. Preller about Xander Bogaerts?! Plus - Juan Soto signs a massive contract. Pitchers are moving at a high price. And we can finally stop fantasizing about Garrett Crochet, thank goodness.
Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour talking about some of the other big moves in baseball that were made yesterday, including Max Fried signing with the Yankees on an 8 year, $218 million deal. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before we play some audio that Sam Levitt got from AJ Preller yesterday, and discuss whether or not Preller will trade Dylan Cease this offseason. Listen here!
The Padres haven't made any noise yet this offseason, but that could very well change at next week's Winter Meetings. Derek and Darnay discuss what moves could be ahead, and what the Padres should prioritize when the baseball world comes together in Dallas. Sadly it makes sense to deal Dylan Cease, the guys explain why. Anything new on Roki Sasaki? Higgy is headed to Texas. Snell is a Dodger and Soto is about to get a bag. Plus, what do we think about the Golden At-Bat?
Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour talking about a WILD Monday Night Football game last night as the Broncos beat the Browns 41-32 in Denver. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before we play some clips of Mike Shildt's appearance on Foul Territory where he raved about AJ Preller, while we all sit and wait for Preller to strike this offseason. Listen here!
A new Dave and Jeff Show is now available. If you were A.J. Preller, what would the 2025 Padres roster look like?
A.J. Preller was busy swinging key deals throughout the 2024 that turned the Padres into a contender, and left few familiar names on the farm. So who will we need to know in 2025? Our friend John Conniff from MadFriars returns, stocked with scouting reports on the biggest names in the system. Ethan Salas and Leo De Vries are the gems, who are the most promising prospects behind them? And who has a shot at helping out at the big league level in 2025? Plus some thoughts on the Padres' place in the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes.
Everyone's talking about Roki Sasaki! Kyle Glaser returns to give us the lowdown on the young Japanese star. What makes him so good, and what are the Padres' chances of landing him? Plus, Salas and De Vries are getting their fall hacks in - what should we take from their performance? Kyle also weighs in on the key roster questions facing A.J. Preller. And Jackson Merrill for Rookie of the Year?
Hembo and Buster discuss why Roki Sasaki will be baseball's biggest bargain, why Boston is the best place for Juan Soto to play, Christian Walker flying under the radar, Dick Allen's air-tight Hall of Fame case, and banging the drum for Ichiro Suzuki's unanimously being elected to the Hall of Fame. Then, Seattle Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto stops by to talk about becoming a first-time grandfather, improving the infield, avoiding a slow start for Julio Rodriguez, and GM scouting reports on A.J. Preller and Dave Dombrowski. Next, Chicago Cubs GM Carter Hawkins chats with Buster about meeting with agents during free agency, the focus of the Cubs offseason and the improvement of Pete Crow-Armstrong. Later, Jesse Rogers on the Yankees potentially matching any offer to Soto, which teams are interested in trading for Garrett Crochet, the Phillies possibly being aggressive this offseason, Corbin Burnes, the Blue Jays looking for lineup balance, and the Cardinals moving Wilson Contreras to 1B.
