A player who is remembered as “Jumbo” even though that was neither his name or his shape is described in both complimentary and critical terms, oysters are considered, and one of the greatest shortstops of all time, John Henry Lloyd, Pop, teaches an important lesson about why the past matters, and why his past was especially important. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle joined Papa & Silver following the Giants' addition of outfielder Harrison Bader on a two-year deal. She discusses Bader's potential to improve the club's outfield defense -- which struggled mightily in 2025 -- and how his intense personality might play in the clubhouse. She also provides insight into the recent report that the Giants pursued Washington Nationals shortstop C.J. Abrams, and what it might cost to acquire a player of that caliber and young age.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But, what is your take?i.Does Eddie Cabrera go up or down in your rankings or stay the same?ii.I'm assuming Caissie goes up, as he should get a chance to play. What's your take?2.The Cubs also make news, signing Alex Bregman to a long 5-year deal. This one has a lot of ramifications, as it was reported that the Red Sox really wanted to re-sign him.a.What happens to Matt Shaw? It's been widely reported, and I've heard from my contact that the Cubs are not happy with Shaw. I've heard he's difficult to work with, and the Cubs were not happy when he took a day off in September to attend the Charlie Kirk memorial. b.Who plays third for the Red Sox? Do they double down on signing Bo Bichette or go with some combination of Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell3.The Rockies acquire Jake McCarthy on Saturday for RHP Josh Grosza.I know it's the Rockies, but does McCarthy get a jump in value? RosterResource lists him as the starting right fielder.b.It's a bit of a bummer for Dynasty League owners waiting for Zac Veen and Sterlin Thompason to get a shot. It could even gum up the works for Cole Carrigg. Your thoughts?c.I saw Josh Grosz pitch with the Yankees last season in High-A. Fastball sat 93 to 94 MPH and was pretty flat with average secondaries. He does get a new lease with the Diamondbacks, but he's not someone I'd be running out to grab in Dynasty Leagues.4.My draft has slowed to a crawl. I'll share some of my mid-round picks.Segment 2 – Shortstop Rankings for the 2026 Season1.How are you approaching this position for your upcoming drafts?2.We will break down the top 15 to 20 in detail. Then, go through 20 to 30 in less detail. We will end by jumping around the remaining ranked players.3.Which player not in the Top 10 has a chance to emerge there next season?4.Which Top 10 player will not be there next season?5.Give me a couple of sleepers6.Give me one, maybe two guys you are just going to avoid drafting?

Rare is the professional athlete who plays his entire Hall Of Fame career in his hometown. For 19 years, Barry Larkin did just that, playing for the Cincinnati Reds. His career path took him from a leadoff hitter setting the table, to an RBI man in the heart of the order, with stops up and down the lineup. Along the way Barry Larkin was selected to 12 All Star games, won 9 Silver Slugger Awards, three Gold Gloves, a National League MVP, an Olympic Silver Medal and a World Championship. He was a key ingrediant in the evolution of the Shortstop position, particularly in the National League before inter-league play, combining steady hitting, power, speed and stellar defense. This week we will be discussing one of the revolutionary Shortstops in the game's history; the great Barry Larkin. #BarryLarkin #CincinnatiReds #UniversityOfMichigan #GeneBarrett #KurtStillwell #DaveParker #EricDavis #PeteRose #MargeSchott #BoSchembechler #DaveConcepcion #ChrisSabo

(Día de Luis Aparicio en Venezuela) El 18 de noviembre de 1953 fue uno de los días más memorables en la historia del béisbol venezolano. Durante el juego entre los equipos de Maracaibo Gavilanes y Pastora, el reconocido campocorto Luis Aparicio Ortega, apodado «El Grande», anunció su retiro, y a su hijo Luis Ernesto Aparicio Montiel, quien estaba haciendo su debut con Gavilanes allí en su ciudad natal, le entregó el bate y luego su guante al entrar éste al terreno a cubrir la ofensiva, a modo de homenaje en que el padre le da el legado al hijo. Hacía poco más de un mes que el hijo venía de jugar por Venezuela en la Serie Mundial Amateur con el vivo recuerdo de haber visto a su] padre hacer lo mismo sólo dos años atrás.1 ¡Quién hubiera pensado esa tarde que aquel hijo, que sería conocido como «El Pequeño Louie», llegaría a ser, sólo tres años después jugando por los Medias Blancas de Chicago, el primer latinoamericano en ser nombrado Novato del Año de la Liga Americana; y en 1984, luego de 18 temporadas en las Grandes Ligas jugando además por los Orioles de Baltimore y los Medias Rojas de Boston, el primer venezolano exaltado al Salón de la Fama del Béisbol!2 En la entrevista que le hizo el reportero venezolano Óscar Yanes en 1956, apenas una semana después de su debut con los Medias Blancas, Luis Aparicio declaró: «Mi ambición es llegar a ser el mejor jugador de mi posición.»3 Esa aspiración habría de cumplirse en las declaraciones del dueño de su equipo Bill Veeck: «Es el mejor que yo jamás haya visto. Casi todos los días hace jugadas imposibles»; del mánager de los Yankees Ralph Houk: «El pequeño Louie es prácticamente el mejor campocorto que yo jamás haya visto. No puedo imaginarme cómo alguien pudiera jugar mejor»; y de su estelar compañero de segunda base, Nellie Fox: «Tengo la fortuna de contar con el mejor campocorto del béisbol, Luis Aparicio.»4 A la pregunta: «¿Está “el viejo” contento?», Luis le había respondido a Óscar Yanes: «Mucho. Mamá era la que no quería que yo fuera pelotero... quizá por esas tantas operaciones que sufrió papá por la pelota; pero ¿qué va? Yo nací para eso, vale.»5 Eso lo comprueban, además de sus otros logros y récords, sus 13 participaciones en Juegos de Estrellas; 9 Guantes de Oro; 9 años consecutivos con el mayor número de bases robadas en la Liga Americana, 4 de esos años con más de 50 bases robadas; y su revancha al ganar la Serie Mundial con los Orioles contra los Dodgers de Los Ángeles en 1966, 7 años después de perder la Serie Mundial con los Medias Blancas contra esos mismos Dodgers en 1959.6 Así como Luis se esforzó por que su padre, «el viejo», permaneciera contento con él durante toda su carrera deportiva, propongámonos también nosotros que nuestro Padre celestial, «el Anciano de Días», esté contento con nosotros tal como lo estuvo con su Hijo Jesucristo durante su carrera terrenal. Después de todo, fue para eso que Dios nos creó.7 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 BR Bullpen, «Luis Aparicio», Baseball Reference En línea 23 mayo 2025. 2 «About Luis Aparicio», Luis Aparicio, Shortstop, Class of 1984, National Baseball Hall of Fame En línea 21 mayo 2025. 3 Javier González, «Luis Aparicio en la silla caliente», Banesco Contigo, 10 noviembre 2023 En línea 23 mayo 2025. 4 BR Bullpen 5 Javier González 6 «About Luis Aparicio»; BR Bullpen; Chris Haft, «Los mejores 10 momentos de Luis Aparicio», MLB Español [Béisbol de las Ligas Mayores], 29 abril 2025 (5 agosto 2020) En línea 23 mayo 2025. 7 Dn 7:9,13; Mt 3:17; 17:5; 2P 1:17; 2Co 5:9; Ef 2:10

BT and Sal dive into the fiery debate surrounding Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe's shoulder surgery after a rough season. While the surgery offers a potential explanation for his struggles, the hosts clash over whether the injury is a genuine excuse for three years of inconsistency, with one speaker declaring he won't "hear about the shoulder being the primary reason for his inconsistencies or his failures." The conversation quickly escalates to a searing critique of the Yankees' and Mets' analytical approach to team and staff building, including the Mets' recent coaching changes, which one host labels an "arranged marriage." The discussion centers on the flaws of being too "married to the analytics," questioning if a computer can replace a manager's "gut" feeling and calling for a focus on acquiring "better players" over "analytical guys."
Leila Rahimi, Marshall Harris and Mark Grote praised Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson for his sensational play in helping his club beat the Padres in the National League wild-card series.
