Whoah Mother Nature, what's with all the snow? The Seahawks added running back Emmanuel Wilson. Do we expect him to jump in and fill the Ken Walker hole or does Schneider have more moves up his sleeve? :30- Randy Arozarena is headed back to Peoria and it may be the perfect thing to finally put this Cal/Randy handshake sage to rest. The two of them can't face each other again and hopefully the Mariners can squash the whole thing with Randy there. Do we expect any similar handshake/hugs to occur if the USA faces the Dominican? They have to get through Canada first. :45- The Big 12 is making a change to their tournament court after showcasing an innovative LED glass court during their women's tournament and the beginning of the men's tournament, there was just one problem… well quite a few actually. The LED court was slippery, causing injuries and headaches for the players. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) The Seahawks have a new running back, so Gregg gives us the lowdown on the addition of Emmanuel Wilson. Do we expect him to be vying for the starting role? If not Wilson, then who? Will JSN reset the market for wide receivers? How much will Devon Witherspoon get? Could those impending contract negotiations get complicated? And what about Darnold next year? Did John Schneider accomplish exactly what he hoped to accomplish this week? What surprises were there? :30- Does the WBC mean more in other countries than it does here and does winning it mean more than winning the World Series? :45- We love a good throwback uniform and the Tennessee Titans have unveiled their new uniforms and it's a nod to the Oiler days… Now, can they also change the name back to the Oilers?

HUGH MILLEN joins us to give us a deep dive into the Seahawks new running back, Emmanuel Wilson. How does Hugh feel about the moves the Seahawks did and didn't make during free agency? Hugh's thoughts on the Cal vs Randy handshake saga. :30- Do we need to take a serious look at whether or not Danny Sprinkle is the right guy for the job at UW as the team misses the NCAA tournament once again? :45- We close out the show and week with Booze News.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What if the secret to producing great athletes wasn't early specialization or year-round competition? Today we look at Norway's Olympic success, why the World Baseball Classic is one of the best events in baseball, and a few early MLB spring training storylines. Norway's dominance at the Winter Olympics is of the most fascinating stories in sport: At the 2026 Milano-Cortina Games, Norway once again topped the medal table with 18 gold medals and 41 total medals, the highest total ever for a single Winter Games. Even more impressive — this is a country of just 5.5 million people, outperforming nations many times its size. So what's their secret? Norway has built a youth sport system around participation, joy of sport, and delayed specialization. Kids aren't ranked before age 13, and the focus is on long-term development rather than early talent selection. The result is a massive participation base — and eventually, elite performance. We also dive into the excitement building around the World Baseball Classic, one of the best international tournaments in sport. With 20 national teams competing in a round-robin format before the single-elimination playoff bracket, it's true best-on-best baseball on the global stage. And finally, we touch on a few early MLB spring training storylines: The Dodgers chasing a historic three-peat, pressure building in New York, big expectations around the Mets, and why the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners could be two teams to watch this season.

Emmy-winning screenwriter, the divine Ken Levine, was today's guilty, not guilty pleasure. Rushing off for a next-to-last dress rehearsal before tomorrow's sole preview, we got a good, healthy dose of the funny, as Ken is wont to do. Guilty Pleasures, his 10th published full-length play, opens this Friday at the Westchester Theatre in Los Angeles for a four-week run. An adult entertainment, no, not that kind, the show's disclaimer says, “Please note this play is intended for mature audiences, as it contains strong language and sexual content.” Ken adds, no nudity, but I know from experience it'll be loaded with laughs. Bonus, my pal, Marshall McCabe, is one of the four stars. One of the most successful humans I know, cross-genre, Ken is a multi-award-winning writer of such shows as Cheers, MASH, Frasier, The Simpsons, and Wings. He's directed over 60 TV episodes and has co-written the movie, VOLUNTEERS, starring Tom Hanks and John Candy; he's been a radio DJ and the play-by-play voice of the Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners, and San Diego Padres. Ken's hosted Dodger Talk for eight seasons, has hosted his own successful podcast, and wrote one of the 25 BEST blogs, as says Time Magazine. Currently, Ken's a contributing cartoonist to the New Yorker Magazine and a globally successful playwright. Guilty Pleasures has been enjoying a two-year run in Prague! Why is he focused on the stage instead of the screen when clearly the financial benefits of the latter so greatly surpass the former? Ken tells it. As always, Ken reminded me how wonderful it is to laugh. A much-needed break from the current madness. I could sure use some more. I'll be heading to the Westchester Theatre this weekend to indulge in some of Ken's Guilty Pleasures (link in the comments). I'll be using code Heywestchester for a $5 discount on the $25 tkts. Hell, it's cheaper than a movie with real live actors making magic just feet away. There's nothing like Live theatre. Except ballet and opera, but don't tell Timothée Chalamet.

We survived the windstorm! Maxx Crosby is clearly re-thinking his future in Las Vegas and the Raiders seem to be mending the relationship with their star, or is it all being done just to maintain his trade value and lure in potential trade partners? :30- Team USA advances to the WBC quarterfinals thanks to Team Italy and Vinnie Pasquantino. Did Italy really want to win for themselves and to help out Team USA? Perhaps. :45- Cal vs Randy is still a thing and other teams are sending a message to the US as Fernando Tatis and William Contreras hugged at the plate before the DR/Venezuela game yesterday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) The Seahawks made some moves that might seem minor, but were important for the franchise moving forward and Gregg gives us all the info on the signings. Who might the Seahawks be looking at to replace Ken Walker? What's the latest on Maxx Crosby and the Seahawks interest? :30- The Huskies stayed alive after an OT win over USC in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. Is Danny Sprinkle the answer? The team continues to struggle to be successful, but they did deal with a lot of injuries this year, is that a valid excuse? It isn't just the last two year, this team hasn't had success in the tournament since 2010 and they haven't made it to the tourney since 2019, so why is UW not able to crack the code? :45- Mariners Opening Day is only TWO WEEKS away! Is Chuck throwing out the first pitch? Cole Young is putting up some serious numbers in Spring Training; will he be our starting 2nd baseman on opening day?

Rob and Kelvin explain why Cal Raleigh was in the wrong for refusing to dap up his Seattle Mariners teammate Randy Arozarena when the two players were competing against each other at the World Baseball Classic, and tell us why Bam Adebayo’s record-scoring night is indicative of a bigger problem in today’s NBA. Plus, former NFL team physician Dr. David Chao swings by to discuss why the Baltimore Ravens decided to back out of their trade for All-Pro pass rusher Maxx Crosby.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Rob and Kelvin tell us why the New York Jets’ acquisition of Geno Smith is a clear indicator that Aaron Glenn won’t be the head coach this time next year, react to the breaking news that the Baltimore Ravens have rescinded their agreed-upon trade offer that would have landed them Maxx Crosby, and explain why Cal Raleigh was in the wrong for refusing to dap up his Seattle Mariners teammate Randy Arozarena when the two players were competing against each other at the World Baseball Classic.

HR3 - Falcons 2026 expectations should be tempered after early free agent signings In hour three Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac quickly touch on some of the biggest headlines around the local and national sports scene, continue to grade Atlanta Falcons General Manager Ian Cunningham's free agency moves so far, explain why they think Cunningham's early free agency moves signal that the Falcons are starting a soft rebuild, react to Team USA catcher Cal Raleigh saying there's "no beef" between him and Seattle Mariners teammate Randy Arozarena, who unleashed an expletive-laced screed after Raleigh declined to dap him up before an at-bat in the United States' World Baseball Classic game against Mexico on Monday night, explain why they think Arozarena shouldn't be upset that Cal Raleigh didn't dap him up before hit at-bat, and continue to react to the Las Vegas Raiders announcing yesterday that the Baltimore Ravens have "backed out" of a trade agreement that would have sent All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby to Baltimore in exchange for two first-round picks because of medical concerns that arose during a physical. Then Mike, Beau, and Ali close out hour three by spending some time with senior NFL writer for Outkick and Fox News Armando Salguero! Mike, Beau, Ali, and Armando discuss the Baltimore Ravens backing out of the Maxx Crosby trade with the Las Vegas Raiders, how the Ravens backing out of the Maxx Crosby trade with the Raiders will affect the Ravens doing business with other teams, players, and players' agents moving forward, what Armando thinks Tua Tagovailoa has left in the tank, Tua not deserving all the blame for his and the Miami Dolphins struggles last season, the Minnesota Vikings having interest in quarterback Kyler Murray, but the Arizona Cardinals kind of holding Kyler Murray hostage because they're trying to hold out hope that they'll be able to trade him and not just release him, if Armando thinks Kirk Cousins or Kyler Murray would be a better fit in the Minnesota Vikings offense as their starting quarterback, and if Armando thinks the Philadelphia Eagles will trade defensive lineman Jalen Carter.
Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to Team USA catcher Cal Raleigh saying there's "no beef" between him and Seattle Mariners teammate Randy Arozarena, who unleashed an expletive-laced screed after Raleigh declined to dap him up before an at-bat in the United States' World Baseball Classic game against Mexico on Monday night, and explain why they think Arozarena shouldn't be upset that Cal Raleigh didn't dap him up before hit at-bat.
Welcome to Episode 150 of Tablesetters, where we continue our division preview series by turning our attention to the American League West heading into the 2026 season. For nearly a decade, the AL West belonged to the Houston Astros. From 2017 through 2024, Houston captured seven full-season division titles and established one of the most sustained competitive runs in modern baseball. That streak finally paused in 2025. The Seattle Mariners broke through with a 90–72 season to capture the division, edging Houston by three games and advancing all the way to the American League Championship Series before falling in seven games. Now Seattle enters 2026 with momentum, elite pitching, and legitimate postseason expectations. But the division remains wide open. Houston still features an experienced core led by Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, and Yordan Alvarez, though questions remain about the starting rotation after the departure of Framber Valdez. Texas returns one of the most intriguing pitching staffs in the league behind Jacob deGrom and Nathan Eovaldi but must rebound offensively after finishing near the bottom of the league in several categories last year. Meanwhile, the Athletics appear to be emerging from their rebuild with a promising young lineup built around Rookie of the Year Nick Kurtz and shortstop Jacob Wilson, while the Los Angeles Angels continue searching for stability after another difficult season. Several individual players could ultimately determine how the division unfolds. Dominic Canzone's breakout bat could help deepen Seattle's lineup behind Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez. Houston will be watching closely to see whether new arrival Tatsuya Imai can stabilize the rotation. Texas may hinge on the health of Nathan Eovaldi alongside deGrom, while A's pitching outlook could depend heavily on the continued development of Jacob Lopez. For the Angels, the return of Grayson Rodriguez from injury carries significant implications for a rotation that struggled throughout 2025. With Seattle attempting to defend its title and multiple challengers trying to reclaim the division, the AL West once again looks like a race that could remain competitive deep into the season.
Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) We have to start with the Maxx Crosby news… now that the trade to the Ravens has been nixed, are the Seahawks back in the mix? Riq Woolen is headed to Philadelphia, but only on a one-year deal. Geno Smith is on his way back to the NY Jets… will it work the second time around? :30- Ok, so maybe this Cal and Randy is a thing… Cal made a statement ahead of last night's game and said he reached out to Randy, but it doesn't appear that Randy responded. Are we concerned that this will cause problems in the Clubhouse when the guys are back with the Mariners? No, we think it will absolutely be resolved by then, but it's definitely more of a thing than we originally thought. :45- It's time to get Reckless at Breakfast! Does the format of the WBC need to be changed? Should pool play be eliminated? Do the eligibility rules need to be changed for players representing other countries?

After discussing the Giants potential heading into the 2026 season, breaking news hits. Geno Smith has been traded to the New York Jets! Is Tom Brady the culprit? Is he the reason why the Jets are stuck with Geno Smith? Darren Lee supposedly used Chat GPT to find out how to cover up a murder after allegedly killing his girlfriend. Some things should not be searched up online. Cal Raleigh has no time for small talk with his Seattle Mariners teammate.
Cal Raleigh has no time for small talk with his Seattle Mariners teammate.
CJ Stroud is feeling "GOOD" about the off season moves so far for Caserio's Texans roster..? Maxx Crosby to the Ravens, this move puts Baltimore OVER the Texans in the AFC? It's lame that Cal Raleigh refuses to shake hands with his Mariners teammate Randy Arozarena at the WBC Mon. night? None of the 4 AFC division winners will repeat as division champs (Broncos, Patriots, Jags and Steelers)??
Family night at WWE and a WBC controversy. Social media was buzzing about the fact that Cal Raleigh refused to shake Randy Arozarena's hand last night prior to Randy's at-bat. While a lot of people understood the competition aspect, others were quick to jump on our favorite catcher. Randy didn't exactly ease the tension postgame when he addressed Cal and the alleged snub in 4 languages. :30- Tamperfest Day 1 was full of action, so what did we think of the Seahawks moves? Bringing back Shaheed at a higher price than we expected and re-signing Jobe, while saying goodbye to Ken Walker, Boye Mafe and Coby Bryant. What were we most surprised by? :45- With Ken Walker now running the ball for the Chiefs in 2026, who can the Seahawks bring in to fill that hole? Alvin Kamara, Devon Achane, Josh Jacobs… would any of those guys be the right fit? Chuck has an idea for a guy we should be looking at… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Day 1 of Tamperfest was madness and Day 2 has been very quiet as we begin our 2nd hour of our Tamperfest specialty show with mike Sando still in-studio. Let's talk about quarterbacks- namely our quarterback: The Geno Smith and Sam Darnold storylines could not have been more polar-opposites in 2025. And what about other QB moves around the league this week? Should Kyler Murray leave the NFL for MLB? Things have been very quiet this morning and Riq Woolen is still out there on the free agent market- will he land a really big deal? How did Mike feel about the Jobe contract? Is Ken Walker the answer Kansas City has been looking for? :30- The Ol Judge is here and Mike Sando is ready to prove he belongs in the courtroom! Ken Walker is not only going to be good in Kansas City, he's going to win a rushing title. JSN will become the highest paid wide receiver in the league and he's going to make $50 million a year. The Randy-Cal handshake-gate is going to end up being a problem. :45- We wrap up this Day 2 of Tamperfest show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We cover the top 8 sports stories of the day in the OCHO 1. 3 days til we tamper! 2. Seahawks reward Drake Thomas 3. NHL Trade Deadline less than 4 hours away… 4. World Baseball Classic 5. Mariners Spring Training 6. Sounders in St Louis 7. UW closes out the regular CBB season 8. GESA State Championships :30- It's time to Check Yes or No one more time before Tamperfest and the frenzy get underway! - Kenneth Walker, Rashid Shaheed, Boye Mafe, Coby Bryant, Josh Jobe and Riq Woolen… who is coming back to the Seahawks? :45- No, Jerry Dipoto didn't just start making the right moves, he's been doing it all along, but the Mariners front office also got out of their own way and it's paying off. A top 5 farm system AND a World Series contender? That's impressive. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Headlines and 12th man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) - Is the beef with the National media guys legit? - Is Schneider in on getting Maxx Crosby? - How big of a deal is the Drake Thomas extension? - What would Gregg expect from Schneider and the Seahawks heading into Tamperfest? :30- Yesterday we talked about JP Crawford and his defensive concerns, but offensively, could he have his best offensive year yet? JP has the best eye on the team and with the introduction of the ABS system this season, he can benefit from the terrible calls he frequently gets and use it to his advantage. :45- Do the Kraken know there's an NHL trade deadline coming up in 4 hours? There's only been silence coming from our local hockey team on the trade front, so we wait… and hope. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time to Check Yes or No and today we look at some trade possibilities assuming that free agency isn't getting us anywhere. 2 first rounders and Drew Lock for Maxx Crosby? Trading for AJ Brown if the price was low enough? What about moving up in the draft for Jeremiyah Love? Bringing in a vet like Josh Jacobs? :30- By all accounts, it sure seems like this Mariners team is going to be very good and there's a lot of positives to focus on heading into the 2026 season, but there are some concerns as well and we should talk about those. How concerned are we with Dan Wilson's managerial skills? Do we expect him to better this year? Is he the guy that will push all the right buttons and get the most out of this team? There were questionable moments last year, especially in the playoffs, but one thing is clear, Dan is loved by his players and is the guy to get the most out of them. In his second year we do expect that his decision-making will improve and he won't be the reason the Mariners fall short. :45- NFL News and Notes: - Breaking news- the Bills have traded for DJ Moore from the Bears - Russell Wilson speaks out about Sean Payton situation.

When a friendly offer isn't so friendly… should Chuck have said something? First Walker and now Shaheed as it appears the Seahawks and Rashid Shaheed were very far apart in negotiations and the wide receiver is set to hit free agency. We had discussed potentially paying Shaheed $14 million per year, but it turns out that he is looking for something closer to $18 million and we'd pass on that. :30- Yesterday we talked to Mariners infield coach Perry Hill and asked him about the analytics tied to JP's defense and what he would say to the critics of the shortstop's defense. Today, we revisit the conversation and discuss Hill's response and our thoughts on JP's defensive contributions. :45- Well THIS is a wild tale… are we in the simulation?

The old saying in baseball is that “momentum is only as good as the next day's starter,” which shows how important having a good pitching staff is to a club. As part of our 2026 regular season preview, it's time to figure out who will do the best job of limiting their opponents' offense. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman draft all 30 MLB clubs based on who they feel will have the best pitching and hitting this season. While every squad wishes they had a Tarik Skubal, Shohei Ohtani or Paul Skenes to lead their pitching staff, will teams like the Seattle Mariners and Milwaukee Brewers still be able to find success on the bump? Later, Jake and Jordan discuss the second PED suspension handed to Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar, causing him to miss the entire 2026 season after he was suspended for eight games in 2025. They then get into the latest news surrounding the World Baseball Classic, including a surprising name joining Team Dominican Republic and Team USA finalizing its rotation for the tournament. 1:05 – The Opener: 2026 Run Prevention Draft 19:40 – Teams 1–10 recap 35:30 – Teams 11–20 recap 46:22 – Teams 21–30 recap 47:11 – We Need To Talk About: Profar suspended 56:50 – New Team DR roster addition 1:00:19 – Team USA's rotation Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Chuck Garfien's Spring Training Podcast-pa-looza rolls on with White Sox non-roster invitee Jarred Kelenic, who explains why signing with the South Side felt like the right move at this stage of his career.
