The Philadelphia Phillies season is just around the corner and Spring Training will be here before we know it. Baseball season is almost here! That said, there are questions and storylines we're following when it comes to this Phillies team and what they'll look like here in 2026. This week, Matt Davis from ThatBallsOuttaHere.com over at Fansided joined the pod for a conversation about the Phillies offseason and what this coming season will hold. It was a fantastic discussion!But first, the guys gave their Super Bowl predictions and thoughts on the Eagles offensive coordinator search. (Approx. 4:50)From there, they got into a discussion about the Flyers and specifically how Trevor Zegras has seemingly hit a roadblock. How should Danny Briere address this? (Approx. 18:15)Then they dove into some NBA and Sixers talk. Giannis self-diagnosed an injury, which was bizarre. Quentin Grimes has fallen off a cliff, and what that could mean for the trade deadline. (Approx. 25:50)What they threw down on the Table this week was a great and in-depth conversation with Matt Davis from That Balls Outta Here about this upcoming Phillies season. Thoughts on the offseason hits and misses. What will the level of competition be as the Mets might truly be a contender again? Should we be skeptical of this team “running it back” or should we settle down and see what happens with this talented group of players? All of this and much more this week on the Table!

Happy Sunday! Hoping everyone is enjoying their snow day. We have a fresh new Phillies Talk, as Sean Kane and Spencer McKercher chat with Phillies starting pitcher, Jesús Luzardo to discuss an array of topics ahead of 2026 Spring Training.
The Brendan Donovan trade rumor mill might finally be coming to a close. With Spring Training just a few weeks away, decision time might be coming for Chaim Bloom and the Cardinals. Will the Cardinals move on from Brendan Donovan before the season starts, or will he remain on the roster for the start of the 2026 season?
Bob and Dave have their weekly conversation with Jon Morosi to get his thoughts on the MLB’s 2026 Hall of Fame Class, what this year’s vote totals means for Mariners legend Felix Hernandez’s Hall of Fame hopes, and what Mariners offseason moves he expects to see before Spring Training, they break down what the Seahawks defense needs to do to shut down Puka Nacua, and they break down whether Seahawks QB Sam Darnold’s oblique injury will be a factor in this weekend’s NFC Championship game.
When the New York Mets signed Bo Bichette and traded for Luis Robert Jr., many wondered if President of Baseball Ops David Stearns was finished making major moves this offseason. On Wednesday night though, Stearns had one more big surprise up his sleeve when he acquired someone from his past days in Milwaukee.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the big trade that saw the Mets deal for Milwaukee Brewers ace Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers in exchange for a package of top prospects Brandon Sproat and Jett Williams. With Peralta now headlining the Mets' starting rotation, does this addition make them a World Series contender again? Also, how will the new additions to the Brew Crew's prospect pipeline help them in the immediate future?Later, Jordan and Jake talk about the New York Yankees and Cody Bellinger reuniting after his impressive 2025 season in pinstripes on a five-year, $162.5 million contract. The move further solidifies the Yankees' belief in their offense, essentially running it back from last season—but could Brian Cashman and company have one more front-page deal before Spring Training kicks off? The guys then close the show by making their picks for this week's edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.2:03 – The Opener: Freddy Peralta to the Mets29:43 – Jordan's Prospect Hut: The Brewers' return38:28 – Yankees re-sign Cody Bellinger52:00 – Scott Boras Scoreboard update54:37 – The Good1:01:13 – The Bad1:06:44 – The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
