Bryce Harper had one final comment the WIP Afternoon Show couldn't ignore — sharing what he's most excited for in the World Baseball Classic. The crew breaks down his thoughts and reactions to the Phillies superstar gearing up for international competition.
In Hour 4, the WIP Afternoon Show break down their biggest questions heading into Caller of the Year. Plus, they discuss what Bryce Harper is most excited about as he prepares for the World Baseball Classic.
The guys debate about what the real issue is. Is it the biggest teams spending too much, or the smallest teams spending nowhere near enough? Evan and Tiki dig into the payroll gap, why owners complain about exploding salaries, and why fans never see the actual books when teams claim they are losing money. Then the conversation swings to the Yankees and a classic February question: if the rotation ever got fully healthy, who actually gets bumped? Evan explains why the question is flawed (because pitchers never stay healthy), how “follow the money” really works, and why options and roster flexibility will decide more than hot takes. Finally, a caller pitches a twist on the World Baseball Classic: move the biggest games to All-Star week. The guys break down why it sounds awesome, why pitchers make it complicated, and what a real compromise could look like.
With Spring Training fully underway in Florida and Arizona, we're starting to hear more and more from those in the baseball world about their thoughts on this offseason. Between how New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge voiced his displeasure with his club's slow-moving offseason and Bryce Harper not being too happy with how he was spoken about by Philadelphia Phillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski, things are getting spicy.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about which of these headlines are actually big deals and which aren't, including Steve Cohen saying there won't be a captain for the New York Mets as long as he owns the team and a couple of players with questionable thoughts on position changes. Then, the guys get into the San Diego Padres having a busy week that saw them bring in Nick Castellanos, along with other free agents, to fill out their roster and signing General Manager A.J. Preller to a long-term deal.Later, Jake and Jordan present the grand finale to this year's Scott Boras Scoreboard after a flurry of his players received new deals and Roman Anthony replaced Corbin Carroll on Team USA's World Baseball Classic roster. They close the show by reintroducing the 26-and-under rankings for this season after big players graduated from the list last season.0:34 - Tony Clark update3:20 - The Opener: Hot Springs Training headlines39:05 - Around the League: Padres keeping busy48:03 - Team USA roster update50:38 - Scott Boras Scoreboard finale59:41 - 2026 26-and-under rankings Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Todd Rosiak, now embedded in Phoenix with the start of spring training, and host JR Radcliffe discuss the early story lines in Brewers camp, including the clarifying picture at third base and catcher, Brandon Woodruff's immediate outlook and how the crowded starting rotation might look. It's been a relatively quiet start to camp, and that's a good thing given the lack of injury news. Who benefits when the World Baseball Classic starts? Who's next in line at third base if Luis Rengifo is indeed the starter? What's the best giveaway on the Brewers promotional calendar? And most importantly, do we have a Hank The Ballpark Pup sequel in our midst? And it's a cat?

Three major stories broke after the show ended, but the conversation quickly zeroes in on the most polarizing one. Evan and Tiki debate Juan Soto's move from right field to left field, why it actually makes sense at Citi Field, and why the timing and explanation from the Mets still feels strange. The discussion digs into Soto's defensive history, his split time between left and right field throughout his career, and whether the World Baseball Classic played a bigger role than the team wants to admit. Plus, questions about roster construction, fan reaction, and why this move was obvious to some long before it became official, even if it still feels awkward the way it rolled out.
The show opens with three major stories that broke after the show ended the night before. The Knicks suffer a brutal overtime loss to an undermanned Pacers team, Francisco Lindor's hamate bone injury raises concerns about Opening Day and lingering power issues, and the Mets announce a surprising positional shift for Juan Soto from right field to left field on the eve of spring training. Evan and Tiki debate which storyline actually matters most, why the Soto move makes sense on the field but feels strange in timing and messaging, and how the World Baseball Classic factors into both conversations. Plus, fan calls, injury comparisons around baseball, and why Lindor's situation could linger far longer than the Knicks loss or Soto's defensive switch.

Things get even messier for the New York Mets. Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle dive deeper into the Juan Soto position change, Francisco Lindor's injury concerns, and the wild report that Bad Bunny offered to pay for Lindor's World Baseball Classic insurance — only for the Mets to say no. Carton unloads on the Mets, questions the front office logic, and goes on a legendary rant about insurance, money, and why this whole situation makes no sense. Mets fans brace yourselves.
