The Drive played what Royals GM JJ Picollo said to Cody and Gold about the health of Royals captain Salvador Perez.
Munetaka Murakami is the biggest sell high of the fantasy baseball season so far, and Joe Bond and Corey Pieper both agree you should be moving him right now for legitimate top-tier talent before the league figures out how to pitch to him. On the waiver wire add side, AJ Applegarth and Joe run through Nolan Arenado, Cole Young, Moises Ballesteros, JR Ritchie, Chase Dollander, Foster Griffin, and Spencer Arrighetti. AJ was skeptical on Arenado while Joe and Corey are riding the hot bat, and Dollander gets the strongest endorsement of the group despite sitting at just 46% rostership. Jarren Duran is the rage drop of the week, with Joe keeping him for now but benching him in every league — Corey and Joe went deep on why he simply cannot be started right now despite the massive upside. Also on the drop list: Luis Castillo, Giancarlo Stanton, and Eugenio Suarez. Rankings risers this week include Mike Trout, Randy Arozarena, Josh Jung, Jose Soriano, Nolan McLean, Bryan Baker, and Louie Varland. Falling down the board: Jarren Duran, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Rafael Devers, Devin Williams, Aaron Nola, Salvador Perez, and Logan Gilbert. Corey leads the buy low and sell high segment. Buy low targets are Ketel Marte, Freddie Freeman, and Matthew Boyd — all three have strong underlying numbers that do not match their surface stats. The sell highs are JJ Wetherholt, Mickey Moniak, and Murakami, with Joe and Corey both making the case that Murakami hype is at its peak and you can flip him for serious value right now.

Mike Trout is on the move in the rankings, and Joe Bond has the full breakdown of who is rising and who is falling in today's Rankings Movers segment. On the risers side, Trout leads the way alongside Randy Arozarena, Josh Jung, Jose Soriano, Nolan McLean, Bryan Baker, and Louie Varland. Falling include Jarren Duran, Salvador Perez, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Rafael Devers, Logan Gilbert, Devin Williams, Jeff Hoffman, and Aaron Nola. Luis Robert Jr. is heading for an MRI with the IL looking likely, Jasson Dominguez left yesterday's game with a left elbow contusion, and Javier Baez is on the IL with a right ankle sprain with Wenceel Perez taking over in CF. Joe also runs through today's studs and duds. On the stud side: Hunter Goodman, Juan Soto, Nolan Arenado, Lawrence Butler, Taj Bradley, and Calvin Faucher.

The worst record in Major League Baseball belongs to the Kansas City Royals. What a time to be alive in 2026. We chat the inconsistencies on this club and what the actual hell is going on. Salvador Perez seems to be clashing with leadership and that does not happen, the offense has been abysmal, some stars won't produce, we keep losing to winning teams and so much more. Jac Caglianone is hitting but where'd the power go? These guys can pitch but you look at just about every other aspect and they are being let down. We break it all down, with Drop the Ball ending out the show.
Will the Royals manage Salvador Perez well the rest of this season? The Injury Expert Will Carroll joined the Big Show on Tuesday to discuss that situation, plus Richard Fitts having season-ending surgery, and notable injuries to Brendan Donovan and Edwin Diaz.

The New York Mets have found themselves in a really bad position, as they currently sit on an 11-game losing streak, which has led them to the worst record in the National League and tied for the worst in baseball. With the second-highest payroll in all of baseball for 2026, to say this season is not going as expected would be a complete understatement. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Amazins' rough road trip, which concluded with them getting swept in walk-off fashion by the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Even though the Mets are missing Juan Soto due to a calf injury, how exactly they'll be able to change their tune and stop their losing ways remains a bit of a mystery. They also discuss how the Flushing faithful might have a little less faith in this new core that was brought in during the offseason. Later, Jake and Jordan recap all the other action from the weekend, including the Atlanta Braves sweeping the Philadelphia Phillies on the back of their MLB-best pitching staff and Salvador Perez showing displeasure at getting a rest while the Kansas City Royals were swept by the New York Yankees. Then the guys talk about Munetaka Murakami smashing home runs for the Chicago White Sox and remember Los Angeles Angels great Garret Anderson. 0:55 - The Opener: Mets have lost 11 in a row 18:28 - Braves are pitching great 29:51 - How Sweep It Is: Yankees over Royals 39:11 - Yordan Alvarez is the Astros' shining light 49:51 - Tony Vitello is learning to win and lose 53:56 - Turbo Mode: Rest of the weekend action Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. The Cash That Ticket podcast returns for a stacked Friday edition covering three MLB games from the opening weekend card, two confirmed Elite Eight matchups with live lines, and a pair of best bets to send listeners into the weekend with a plan. Host Munaf Manji and veteran handicapper Uncle Diamond Dave Esler open the show on a high note, with Dave having cashed his Pregame.com dollar best bet the night before on Texas covering against Purdue, a play he held firm on despite the line moving from 7 to 8.5. The MLB conversation starts with the A's visiting Toronto, where Dave makes the case against Kevin Gausman at a steep price point, citing shaky early-season splits and a structural argument against backing home teams on the run line when they might not bat in the ninth. Both hosts like the under 9 on a cold night with the Rogers Centre roof closed, and Munaf takes the plus-money A's given Luis Severino's strong road profile from last season. The Royals and Braves provide the pitching matchup of the night, with Cole Ragans facing Chris Sale in Atlanta. Dave leans into Royals history against Sale, highlights Salvador Perez's success in career at-bats against the veteran lefty, and notes Sale's pattern of allowing three or more earned runs in his first four outings of a season. Both hosts agree on under 7.5 and find value with Kansas City at plus money. The third game sends the Guardians to Seattle for Game 2 of a series Cleveland opened with a 6-4 victory. Dave challenges the assumption that the Mariners automatically bounce back, pointing to taxed bullpens on both sides, George Kirby's history of being managed carefully on innings, and Gavin Williams' quiet effectiveness against Seattle in limited head-to-head history. The Guardians run line in the first five innings is the preferred play. The show then shifts to Saturday's Elite Eight, with Dave and Munaf covering both confirmed games. Iowa gets the points against Illinois, with both handicappers respecting the familiarity factor between Big Ten programs that already played a close game this season, and cautioning against overreacting to Illinois' dominant win over Houston. Arizona gets the stronger endorsement, with Dave breaking down Purdue's difficult tournament path, its free throw-dependent win over Miami, and a late scare from Texas before facing a Wildcats team that dropped 109 on Arkansas and holds a top-three defense nationally. Best bets close the episode, with Dave backing Michigan team total under 91.5 based on the weakness of the Wolverines' previous tournament opponents, and Munaf laying the points with the LA Clippers against the Indiana Pacers behind Kawhi Leonard's recent form and Darius Garland's fit alongside him in the backcourt.

This week on the show, we chat the outstanding performances from the WBC on the Royals. Starting with Maikel Garcia as the MVP of the whole tournament! Salvador Perez adds to his resume as Venezuela takes the crown for 2026! We also highlight Bobby Witt Jr. being a staple for team USA.

After, we touch on the rotation with some recent re-assignments being the writing on the wall for how it's going to shake out. We also see who's going to take that last bench spot, there have been some good performances in spring, but we choose who we would prefer. Then, of course, we end it with america's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!
It looks like you could say President Trump has made Venezuela great again as Salvador Perez and his teammates win their first every World Baseball Classic for their home country. It was a great tournament with a ton of twists and turns and it may just offer up a chance for our president to draw us even closer to Venezuela. Oh, and Salvy is on KC's Mount Rushmore of sports without a doubt. Paint a clown face on arrogant Derek Jeter who's trying to talk his way out of being a sloppy broadcaster. He should start by apologizing to MLB and our fair city. And we have quite a surprise today as we are in Surprise, AZ for a little spring training. My lifelong friend Rob Caldwell joins us to preview KU and MU in the Dance and gives you three top picks against the spread. Trust me, you don't know anyone with as much airplane time every week to study this stuff.
The Drive opened the show with what Salvador Perez had to say following Venezuela's World Baseball Classic Championship.
Vinnie Pasquantino's notoriety is soaring right now after that 3 HR game and he may be the next leader the Royals need after Salvador Perez.
This is my favorite State of the Union address and favorite Trump speech ever. I've probably said it before but this is the one. I was imploring Trump as the speech unfolded to go off script and point out that two year olds pout less than the grumpy democrats in the room that couldn't applaud low gas prices, more private sector jobs or closed borders. Then he dropped the bomb on them. "Stand up if you agree the first duty of government is to protect American citizens and not illegal aliens." This was THE moment of the speech and painted a perfect picture of a party hell bent to change America forever by ignoring the laws we all voted for. Olathe Police say they have now arrested four people total for the high school brawl we saw at Olathe Northwest. El Mencho got taken out because his Only Fans model that visited him for the weekend was trailed. In sports, Mizzou gets a big win. Chiefs GM Brett Veach wants to sign cornerback Trent McDuffie and is excited to rebuild the roster. George Brett, Salvador Perez and Bobby Witt Jr. now have something very much in common and they celebrated together at spring training. KU fans want ESPN announcer Fran Fraschilla banned from Allen Fieldhouse. The UFL has some great new rules this season and our Final Final is a list of businesses you don't want to start.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. The MLB Friday betting preview with Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner broke down twelve games with both hosts riding an 8–2 streak on best bets. Munaf opened by stressing the urgency with roughly 35 games left, while Griffin noted, “we're getting hot at the right time of year.” Colorado at Pittsburgh led the card. Antonio Senzatela, torched in a 17–16 loss the last time he saw the Pirates, carries a 2–8 road record. Munaf called the over 8.5 the best angle. Griffin, mocking the Rockies as “one of the least competitive franchises in global sports,” leaned Pirates at home but doubted unders due to Colorado bats. Washington at Philadelphia followed with Cade Cavalli against Taijuan Walker. Cavalli threw seven shutout innings versus the Phillies previously, but Munaf warned that rematches favor the hitters. Griffin advised focusing on Phillies run lines and blowout props. The Red Sox at Yankees matchup paired Brayan Bello with Max Fried. Griffin argued the line “doesn't respect what Bello has done,” while Munaf highlighted Boston's 6–1 record in Bello's last seven against New York. Fried has allowed four or more runs in four of his last five. Both favored Boston plus money. Houston at Baltimore featured Lance McCullers in his first start since July 19 against Cade Povich. Griffin pointed to Houston's offensive slump of just eight runs in seven games. Munaf doubted McCullers' sharpness and leaned over nine, adding that Adley Rutschman is sidelined and Josh Hader likely out until October. In Detroit, Ryan Bergen faced Casey Mize. Munaf cited Mize's 3.63 ERA and 103 strikeouts, with Detroit winning his last four starts. Griffin criticized Mize's All-Star nod and praised Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez. Both leaned under early but saw Royals value. The Mets at Braves matchup showcased rookie Nolan McLean, who struck out eight but walked four in his debut. Griffin favored Atlanta as a home dog and the over 8.5, while Munaf leaned similarly, noting hot Atlanta weather would boost scoring. St. Louis at Tampa Bay featured Miles Mikolas against Adrian Houser. Griffin trusted the Rays' bullpen, while Munaf stressed Mikolas' inconsistency and backed Tampa at -128. Minnesota at Chicago pitted Zebby Matthews against Aaron Civale. Griffin quickly said, “give me the White Sox.” Munaf agreed, citing Matthews' 5.06 ERA and Chicago's 7–3 record at home on Friday nights, all as underdogs. In Texas, Slade Cecconi met Nathan Eovaldi. Griffin praised Eovaldi's Cy Young-level form, recommending under plays. Munaf backed that, noting Rangers home unders sit at 64.5 percent. Milwaukee hosting San Francisco saw Carson Whisenhunt oppose José Quintana. Griffin highlighted Bryce Turang's surge, while Munaf cited Milwaukee's 42–20 home record and San Francisco's 13–22 mark against lefties, backing Brewers run line at plus money. Cincinnati at Arizona matched Zach Littell with Ryne Nelson. Munaf praised Nelson's 5–1, 2.20 ERA home mark across 57 innings, backing the Diamondbacks and their team total. Griffin agreed Arizona held value despite a high price. The Dodgers at Padres closed the slate with Blake Snell against Yu Darvish. Griffin trusted Darvish's improvement and liked San Diego as a home underdog. Munaf leaned to the under eight, noting Snell's six scoreless innings against the Padres last week but citing Darvish's 2.55 career ERA in 16 appearances versus Los Angeles. Best bets closed the show. Griffin picked Tampa Bay over St. Louis, while Munaf selected the over in Houston and Baltimore, both looking to extend their winning streak into the weekend.
