Boomer & Gio and BT & Sal are all wondering the same thing: where have the Yankees been at the Winter Meetings? Plus, Sal suggests Nice Hoerner as a good fit for the Bronx Bombers; a caller asks who will win the World Series first: the Yankees or Mets? And Evan Roberts dives into what the Yankees' selecting a player in the Rule 5 Draft means for the offseason outlook.

Boomer & Gio and BT & Sal are all wondering the same thing: why have the Yankees been so quiet this offseason? Plus, Sal suggests Nice Hoerner as a good fit for the Bronx Bombers; a caller asks who will win the World Series first: the Yankees or Mets? And Evan Roberts dives into what the Yankees' selecting a player in the Rule 5 Draft means for the offseason outlook.

A few months ago, when a sportswriter published an article in The New York Times about an unusual and “revolutionary” practice method that NBA star Victor Wembanyama and other elite athletes and teams (like the World Series-winning LA Dodgers) were utilizing, I started getting emails from musicians, asking if this method, known as the “constraints-led approach,” might apply to practicing music too.So what is the constraints-led approach? And is it relevant to musicians?Spoiler alert - yes, it totally is.

And Evan Roberts dives into what the Yankees' selecting a player in the Rule 5 Draft means for the offseason outlook.

Bradfo is hanging out with Mego and Lyons keeping the Red Sox conversation going. With a recent example in the Blue Jays, Rob explains the power that comes with making and/or winning a World Series that organizations are missing out on. Then, in the New England Nightly News, a bad norovirus outbreak in Medford sparks bad memories for Mego and ideas come pitching in after regulation has been approved for a cannabis café. And, final thoughts about the Red Sox and how ownership could see this strategy as crazy as it seems leading to championship contention.

The Eagles are on the mat. They have been knocked down and humbled for 3 straight weeks. Philly is a city known for the concept of 'getting up off the mat' and fighting. It's in our DNA. This Sunday, at the Linc, we will see if the defending Super Bowl Champions can harness that and get a win over an inferior team with nothing to play for but putting good material on film for agents. Jalen Hurts has been berated, put down, and there are actually calls to bench the Super Bowl MVP. Only in Philly. The Las Vegas Raiders come in to town with their poor offense and shoddy defense, but local kid Kenny Pickett will be under center to try and get a win. We will learn a lot about this Birds team on Sunday at 1PM. The Phillies are bringing back Schwarber and Rob Thomson and attempting to finally win that World Series ring with this group. Time will tell if they also bring JT Realmuto back, as free agency pushes on. The Sixers are exciting and Maxey is a superstar, but this is not a championship caliber team.

How do we stay awake and aware without constantly being outraged? Or, perhaps even worse, normalizing what should be utterly unacceptable?Staying human is hard in this environment. So many leaders are trying to hold onto their boundaries and values against pressure to act contrary to them, to stay compassionate and curious when so many forces benefit from and encourage our outrage.Anger, rage, and outrage are powerful and can be useful emotions. But when we live from a perpetual state of outrage, we lose access to the self-leadership and adaptive skills that help us lead well, and eventually it takes us out.Today's guest is here to help us understand what outrage really is, why it's so potent right now, how it becomes weaponized, and how we can use it without losing ourselves.Kurt Gray is a social psychologist who studies our moral minds and how best to bridge political divides. Gray received his PhD from Harvard University, and now directs the Deepest Beliefs Lab at The Ohio State University. He also leads the Center for the Science of Moral Understanding, which explores new ways to reduce polarization, and is a Field Builder in the New Pluralists, which seeks to build a more pluralistic America.Gray's work on morality, politics, religion, creativity, and AI has been widely discussed in the media, including the New York Times, the Economist, Scientific American, Wired, and Hidden Brain. He is the co-author of the book The Mind Club: Who Thinks, What Feels and Why it Matters, and the author of Outraged: Why We Fight about Morality and Politics. Listen to the full episode to hear:How Kurt's childhood experiences with his stepmother's conservative, evangelical family have informed his thinking about how we can connect despite differencesHow our human wiring for threat detection causes “harm creep,” even while many of us are safer than everHow our outrage is connected to our perceptions of our risk and vulnerabilityHow our moral imagination helps us maintain our empathy and humanity without losing sight of our values and boundariesWhy we need to learn to recognize destruction narratives and how they're being used to sow divisionWhy leading with facts and statistics fails in moral and political arguments and how we can more effectively begin to bridge the gapsWhy we need to leave room for uncertainty and humility in our convictionsLearn more about Kurt Gray, PhD:WebsiteConnect on LinkedInMoral Understanding NewsletterOutraged: Why We Fight About Morality and Politics and How to Find Common GroundThe Mind Club: Who Thinks, What Feels, and Why it MattersLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience, Brené BrownRage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger, Soraya ChemalyEP 96: Rage to Action: The Leading Power of Women's Anger with Soraya ChemalyBrené Brown on the State of Leadership in America Today | On with Kara SwisherEP 52: Charlie Gilkey: Leading With What Matters MostDaryl DavisSaja Boys - "Your Idol"Stranger Things Bad ThoughtsOrdinary People Change the World Series, Brad Meltzer and Christopher Eliopoulos

“Would you trade Corey Seager if the offer was right?” That's the question that kicks off a fiery debate on today's Ben and Skin Show with Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “Baby Cornbread” Ray.This episode is packed with laughs, hot takes, and jaw-dropping sports rumors as the guys react to the bizarre return of Philip Rivers to the NFL at age 44. Plus, The Michigan coaching drama takes a wild turn. Is this the craziest story of our lifetime? The crew dives into the rumors, NIL chaos, and why legacy programs might never be the same.Also, could Corey Seeger really be on the trade block? The gang debates whether moving a World Series hero makes sense—and what it says about the future of Texas baseball.

Send us a textBreaking news rarely hits mountain running like this. The World Skyrunner Series is officially returning to the United States, and the Beast of Big Creek on Washington's Olympic Peninsula is the stage. We dive straight into what makes this 23K course so compelling: sustained grades exceeding 20 percent, a clean up-and-down profile that rewards efficient climbers and fearless descenders, and a summit near 6,000 feet that avoids altitude headaches without losing the punch. With 1.5x points on offer, we make the case for why European stars could cross the Atlantic and why sub-two hours might be in play.We unpack the “why here” question through logistics and strategy. Seattle's international access makes travel simple, while the terrain delivers classic skyrunning character without sprawling altitude or complex permitting. Then we zoom out: how ISF certification interacts with the World Series, the signals from Whiteface and Broken Arrow, and whether a U.S. skyrunning series is waiting in the wings. We compare philosophies too, contrasting Golden Trail's media-friendly flower loops with skyrunning's traditional aesthetic lines and discussing why a tighter global calendar could sharpen competition and improve storytelling.This is also a conversation about athlete pathways. If more U.S. events gain certification, short-trail standouts, collegiate converts, and VK specialists can build toward European icons like Matterhorn and Trofeo Kima without crossing oceans for every test. We talk rumors, real implications for the Northeast and Pacific Northwest scenes, and how brands and athletes might respond if skyrunning gains momentum here. Hit play to catch our hot takes, practical race analysis, and the questions that will define the next phase of American mountain running. If you enjoy the show, follow, share with a trail friend, and leave a quick review—what race should be the next U.S. skyrunning stop?Follow James on IG - @jameslauriello Follow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_pod Use code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

BT & Sal dive into the emotional anguish of Mets fandom, debating a caller who fears waiting 50 years for another World Series and wants a win while his father is still alive. The hosts tear into GM David Stearns' perceived lack of emotional connection, arguing that running the team "like a business" without caring for the fans is a recipe for failure. The discussion quickly turns fiery, questioning the deep-seated mistrust Mets fans have for Steve Cohen and whether the Metropolitan Park casino project is the real priority over a winning team. Finally, the talk shifts to the Yankees, where Sal slams Brian Cashman for the "stupid qualifying offer" to Trent Grisham, calling it the major mistake that crippled the Yankees' ability to land Cody Bellinger and other key free agents. They debate the Yankees' appetite for a long-term deal with Bellinger, drawing parallels to the costly, ultimately failed pursuit of Juan Soto.

BT and Sal dive into the NFL slate, with Sal boldly declaring the Chiefs are "done" and predicting a massive blow-out loss for the Colts. Sal reveals his excitement to see "Brady Cook cook" for the Jets, given a full week of practice. The conversation quickly shifts to the Mets, where the hosts and callers debate the team's ongoing roster demolition. The possibility of trading Francisco Lindor is discussed, with Sal questioning if friction in the clubhouse is making a split "irreparable." The hosts conclude that while Yankee fans are "envious" of the Mets' radical core change, New York success historically hinges on the farm system being allowed to develop and "pop." Finally, the segment ends with BT—the two-time baseball card World Series champion—refusing Sal's attempt at a final, high-stakes redemption match!

In this special "Days of Roar" bonus episode, Evan Petzold welcomes USA TODAY Sports MLB columnist and insider Bob Nightengale to recap MLB's Winter Meetings in Orlando. Evan and Bob discuss the biggest storyline of the 2025-26 offseason: Will the Detroit Tigers trade Tarik Skubal, and if not, where will the back-to-back American League Cy Young winner sign after the 2026 season — with 10 years, $450 million as the expectation? Do the Tigers have a chance to sign Alex Bregman if his market collapses again, or is he destined to return to the Boston Red Sox, even on another short-term contract? At the Winter Meetings, Kyle Schwarber signed with the Philadelphia Phillies, Edwin Díaz signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pete Alonso signed with the Baltimore Orioles. What happens to free-agent position players such as Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, Bo Bichette, and what about free-agent pitchers like Framber Valdez, Tatsuya Imai and Ranger Suarez? For more on the Tigers, Evan and Bob discuss the chances of the Tigers winning the AL Central in 2026 — and what moves the Tigers need to have a chance to win the World Series.

In this episode, we sit down with Canadian ballplayer Evan Symons to trace an unconventional and inspiring baseball journey, from little league in East Vancouver to becoming an overseas MVP. Evan shares how walking on at the University of Ottawa (Canada), helping transform its club program, and embracing leadership roles off the field prepared him for life abroad with BBJO. He reflects on his first overseas contract in the Austrian second division, a breakout season in his second season overseas, and the powerful community impact of coaching youth players. Evan also dives into his memorable performances with the Globetrotters at Finkstonball and the Milan tournament, being served dugout snacks by World Series winner Jeremy Guthrie, and overcoming long-standing “imposter syndrome.” It's a story of resilience, open-mindedness, and how playing overseas can completely change a player's confidence and their life.

Pete Alonso is out, and Boomer is declaring "the great Met reset!" Gio still has faith in Steve Cohen's World Series promise, arguing the team is tearing down to truly build a winner.

The Mets offseason is in chaos after the Pete Alonso departure! Boomer is calling it "The Great Met Reset," but Gio is preaching patience, arguing Steve Cohen is tearing it down to build a World Series champion, potentially preparing for a run at Skubal next year! Plus, Jerry delivers his update with Ron Darling "flabbergasted." We'll also dive into the reaction from BT & Sal, hear from Philip Rivers on coming out of retirement, and the shocking Michigan scandal involving fired coach Sherrone Moore's inappropriate relationship and subsequent arrest. Finally, we open the phone lines to hear from Mets fans.

Boomer declares "The Great Met Reset" after Pete Alonso's departure, but Gio defends Steve Cohen's World Series plan, arguing the moves set the stage for a big future signing like Skubal, and he's "had it with basic sports radio takes" on the situation. We'll hear raw fan emotion, plus why Ron Darling was 'flabbergasted,' and get Joe Benigno's furious reaction blaming Cohen for selling fans "a bill of goods." Jerry has updates on the shocking firing and arrest of Michigan Coach Sherrone Moore in a stunning fall from grace, the mysterious Philip Rivers comeback (is he playing this week, or what?), and the outrageous ESPN L.A. vs. Sal Licata Moment of the Day. Finally, we wrap up with Boomer's list of 'hapless' sports franchises and reaction to the new WFAN lineup.

BT & Sal dive into a heated debate on which New York team has the better chance of winning the next World Series, with Sal declaring it's the Yankees "by a long shot." They argue the Yankees' current roster is superior, their pitching is "superior," and their path in the American League is easier without a juggernaut like the Dodgers blocking the way—a major hurdle for the Mets in the NL. The discussion highlights the Yankees' frustratingly quiet offseason, with Cashman focusing on three Rule 5 picks after 14 years, while Mets rumors swirl around Paul Goldschmidt ("washed up Yankee") and a potential pursuit of former Yankees first-rounder Willson Contreras to replace the departed Alonso. The hosts conclude the Yankees are sadly in a much better position "right now," despite an unexciting winter.

Use a simple reflection loop — ask: What went well? What did I learn? What will I do better next time? Make reflection easy — choose the journaling format with the least friction so you'll actually do it. Think in systems — pursuing greatness without considering second- and third-order effects creates avoidable problems. Focus on leading indicators — control your routines, effort, and communication; results follow later. Upgrade your questions — better questions lead to better self-talk, better focus, and better performance. Resilience = reduced F.I.D. — decrease the frequency, intensity, and duration of your emotional blowups, not eliminate them. Key Quotes: We don't just learn from losing—we also learn from winning. Success leaves clues if you're willing to go back and study it. Create a feedback loop: What did I do well? What did I learn? What's one thing I'll do better next time? Ask it every time, win or lose. The weakest pen is stronger than the strongest memory. You're always writing for your future self. Your pursuit of excellence has second- and third-order effects. If you don't think in systems, you'll chase greatness while unintentionally burning down your health or relationships. If you want better answers, ask better questions. Your brain is like a search engine—it will fill in whatever prompt you give it. Negative thoughts are mental rumble strips. They're not proof you lack confidence—they're signals you're losing focus, so gently guide yourself back into the lane. Progress isn't never hitting the red; it's hitting it less often, less intensely, and for less time—and then learning from every episode.

Guest: Toronto Star Baseball Columnist Gregor Chisholm This week in Deep Left Field, we wrap up the winter meetings with my partner on the Star's Blue Jays beat, Gregor Chisholm, who was in Orlando to watch the Jays introduce free-agent signee Dylan Cease and to talk to general manager Ross Atkins about the Jays' winter plans, Shane Bieber's forearm fatigue and Jose Berrios' state of mind, among other things. We also hear from newly-elected Hall of Famer Jeff Kent, baseball's all-time leader in home runs by a second baseman. Kent was drafted and developed by the Jays and, until he was traded for David Cone in August, was the only rookie on the eventual World Series champion 1992 Blue Jays for most of the season. And, as always, we open up the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca to hear from you!

'It felt like literally sneaking into a World Series game,' says Rich.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker open today's program ahead of this afternoon's introductory press conference for new Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher, Dylan Cease. The boys sift through the news of the day including Edwin Diaz's three-year, $69 million contract with the Dodgers and Kyle Schwarber's five-year, $150 million extension with the Phillies. Sportsnet Shi Davidi (03:19) checks in from MLB's Winter Meetings with thoughts on what the Blue Jays are now prioritizing this offseason, the names potentially on the table for the team, Shane Bieber's status for 2026, and what's next for José Berríos. Later, Jeff and Kevin listen back to John Schneider's comments reflecting on the 2025 World Series, before heading live to Orlando to listen to Cease's introductory press conference (26:00).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

BT & Sal react to the breaking news that elite closer Edwin Diaz has signed a 3-year, $69 million deal with the Dodgers, sparking immediate outrage among Mets fans. The hosts fiercely debate the move, with Sal arguing that the $18 million difference between Diaz's deal and the Mets' 3-year, $51 million signing of Devin Williams makes "no sense" and is absurd for a high-resource team. The discussion pivots to the hot stove market, analyzing Kyle Schwarber's new 5-year, $150 million deal with the Phillies and what it means for the contract price of Pete Alonso—who is now the biggest bat on the market. Ultimately, the hosts acknowledge that this is the beginning of a "wrecking ball" phase for the Mets under David Stearns, who is changing the team "radically," leading to intense pressure and public backlash. They question if Diaz simply took less to play for a World Series contender, but warn that if Alonso leaves next, Stearns will face a fan revolt.

BT & Sal dive into the "Call of the Day," focusing on the furious reaction from Mets fans following the loss of Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers. While fans accuse "Uncle Stevie" Cohen of "nickel-and-diming" and prioritizing his casino over fan favorites, Sal vehemently defends the Mets, arguing that Diaz simply preferred Los Angeles and had no interest in continuous dialogue. The co-hosts then spar over the impact of Juan Soto's massive contract, debating if it has limited the Mets' ability to build around the rest of the team and whether they'd rather have Soto over a core of Alonso, Tucker, and Diaz. The conversation is interrupted by a confrontational call from "Bob the Dodger Fan," leading Sal to take a verbal "blowtorch" to the idea of the Mets being the Dodgers' rival and the necessity of an elite closer to win a World Series. The segment concludes with a wild report of a rumored 3-year, $120 million offer for Kyle Schwarber, leaving BT and Sal questioning the team's priorities for Pete Alonso.

BT & Sal dive into the uproar over the Mets losing elite closer Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers for a mere three years and $$69$ million, especially after signing Devin Williams for three years and $$51$ million. Sal argues that the $$18$ million difference is "absurd" and demands David Stearns justify the move, unless Diaz simply refused to return.The hosts confront angry Mets fans, reminding them that the team won only 83 games with Diaz, and that Stearns must be allowed to execute his "vision" to build a World Series winner. However, the pressure is immense, with fans now threatening to turn on Stearns and demanding he "Sign Alonso today" to prevent a total fan meltdown. The segment concludes by exploring whether a Williams/Suárez bullpen tandem could actually be an upgrade over last year's relief unit.

Day 1 of the MLB Winter Meetings are here and Alanna Rizzo and Clint Pasillas are breaking down all the latest news and rumors involving the Los Angeles Dodgers. Are the Dodgers planning for a slower offseason (1:30)?

This episode goes straight to the heart of Trump's chaotic Pentagon with one of the most respected national security reporters in America, Barbara Starr. In this all–new Manosphere Monday, Paul and Barbara dig into the debate around the boat strikes off Venezuela, war crime allegations, “Signalgate,” Trump's new defense strategy and what happens when the guardrails that protect U.S. troops start coming off.​ Barbara explains why she's never seen anything like Pete Hegseth's drama-fueled Pentagon, how the new “propaganda press corps” replacing traditional reporters in the briefing room is changing the flow of truth, and why Trump's walk-back from NATO looks like a gift-wrapped present to Vladimir Putin. They connect the dots from Pearl Harbor to 9/11, January 6th and today's surprise-attack risks—from Venezuela to China and Taiwan—and lay out what real vigilance and leadership should look like in 2025.​ Paul takes listeners through the latest on the controversial boat strikes, the escalating partisan fight on Capitol Hill, the National Guard deployment hearings, and the 3,000-page defense bill barreling through Congress while Trump hands himself a FIFA “peace prize” on Fox Sports. Barbara breaks down what's at stake for apolitical troops, the dismantling of military legal and diversity safeguards, and the danger of turning the Secretary of Defense into a full-time video performer instead of a wartime leader.​ They also zoom out to the bigger cultural moment—from Pearl Harbor remembrance and World War II's “greatest generation” to the rise of women's flag football and the Dodgers' World Series run—and close with “something good,” including Paul's unapologetic love for *NSYNC's holiday album and Barbara's countdown to spring training.​ Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

This week's episode comes to you straight from the breathtaking mountains of Whitefish, Montana, where our recent Annual IMPACT Retreat reached an entirely new level of inspiration, depth, and energy. The room was electric, the ambience was inspiring, and the conversations were powerful. And today, I've got something incredibly special for you — a LIVE interview with one of my closest friends and one of the brightest minds in all of professional sports, Chris Young, better known as "CY." Chris isn't just the President of the Texas Rangers — he's a Princeton graduate, a 17- year professional baseball veteran, a Major League All-Star, and a World Series champion both as a player and as an executive. But beyond the titles, CY is one of the most thoughtful, grounded, humble, and high-performing leaders I know. I trained him for more than a decade through the ups, the downs, the injuries, the comebacks, and the championship moments. We've shared thousands of hours in the gym, countless conversations about mindset, family, excellence, adversity, and purpose… and to bring him to Whitefish this year was truly special. In this candid, emotional, and wisdom-filled conversation, CY opens up about his journey from Princeton to the Big Leagues to leading a world-class MLB organization. He talks about culture, leadership, adversity, mindset, fatherhood, and the exact values that have shaped his life and the Texas Rangers clubhouse. If you're a business owner, parent, athlete, coach, sports fan, or anyone striving to be a better leader, this episode is going to speak directly to your soul. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The core values CY built the Rangers organization around and how YOU can apply them to your team, business, or family. How to eliminate toxicity, reinforce standards, and lead people with clarity and accountability. Why baseball — and life — is a game of failure, and how resilience and self-belief can change everything. Powerful stories from CY's playing days, including injuries, comebacks, competition, and even a Major League brawl (This was funny!). Why your environment, your training partners, and your inner circle matter more than you think. CY's most emotional moment in baseball and the story of pitching the day after his father passed. Lessons on fatherhood, youth sports, and raising confident, grounded kids. How to create an environment where people outperform expectations and realize their dreams. WOW-o-WOW…Chris Young is the real deal—heart, humility, hunger, discipline, and leadership at the highest level. He's one of the rare ones, and I'm truly blessed to call him a friend. As you listen to this conversation, please take a moment to reflect on your own journey. Where can you elevate your leadership? Where can you strengthen your standards, sharpen your fundamentals, and get your mind right even more? This episode is pure jet fuel for the soul and a powerful reminder of what's possible when you lead with deep passion and purpose. If this episode moved you, inspired you, or fired you up, please share it with a teammate, a colleague, a fellow parent, or anyone who could use a dose of championship-level wisdom today.

Mike 'The Mouth' Matusow is FIRED UP! This week, the podcast is packed with explosive takes on the biggest stories in sports and poker. Mike holds nothing back as he dives into:

Mike 'The Mouth' Matusow is BACK with his fiery NFL Week 9 picks! He's putting it all on the line with a GUARANTEED bet and isn't holding back on why one team is destined to fall flat. **

(LISTEN FOR HIS REVERSION STORY NEAR THE END!) He played nine seasons in Major League Baseball, playing for eight teams and being a part of three teams that reached the World Series. He also played in the league in Japan that is the highest level of baseball there. He is a member of eight Halls of Fame and was a manager in the MLB Draft League. After serving as hitting coach and manager for a team in the Philadelphia Phillies system, he went on to become the Pittsburgh Pirates hitting coordinator and then their hitting coach and later became the hitting coach for the Chicago White Sox and after that the minor league hitting coordinator for the Baltimore Orioles. He currently is the head coach of the Conwell-Egan Catholic High School baseball team in Pennsylvania, having been named 2024 Courier Times/Intell Baseball Coach of the Year.

BT and Sal are furious that the main takeaway from the Yankees' Winter Meetings is Brian Cashman's old Sonny Gray drama, where Cashman claimed Gray lied about wanting to play in New York. The hosts argue this is a self-made distraction to divert attention from the real issues: the team's inaction on critical offseason needs. They demand to know if the Yankees are pursuing Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger and are frustrated by the vague plan for left field and the ongoing leadoff hitter void. The hosts warn that simply relying on a strong rotation (which will be vulnerable early due to injuries) and the return of Judge is not enough to win a World Series, criticizing the focus on a former player instead of fixing the lineup.

BT & Sal dissect the Jets' brutal loss to the Dolphins, arguing that the pathetic gameplay is paradoxically "great for the franchise," as the defeat—coupled with the Daniel Jones injury—dramatically improves the value of their Colts draft pick, potentially securing a franchise QB like Mendoza. The conversation pivots to the Yankees, where they rail against the media's obsession with the Sonny Gray drama, demanding that Brian Cashman focus on Kwan and Bellinger instead of irrelevant history. They debate whether re-signing Bellinger is enough to make the Yankees a World Series contender and analyze the team's messy first base and left-field situation, lamenting the right-handed hitting drought if Stanton stays. The hosts then launch into a hilarious and detailed critique of "The Bald Look," with BT slamming the ridiculousness of men who maintain side "wings" and Sal detailing his neurotic shaving routine. Finally, they address the viral picture of their producer, Hoff, and his sweatpants bulge, expressing disbelief over the sudden public fascination with his "package."

More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing. There is no bumper sticker, no buzzy campaign slogan that captures the challenge facing Major League Baseball and its 30 clubs as economic disparity grows and the expiration of the Collective Bargaining Agreement arrives. A complex issue requires a complex solution. Or does it? A brief conversation about the Cardinals' spending strategy and past history with free agency, based on research done for The Write Fielder newsletter, spirals into a much larger debate between Best Podcast in Baseball host Derrick Goold and guest Kevin Wheeler, of KMOX/104.1 FM. After detailing how the Cardinals got into their current predicament, the questions that follow are two-fold: Do the Cardinals need to change their approach to free agency to return to contention, and does MLB need to change its economic structure for the Cardinals to have a new approach to free agency. The debate ignites from there. Wheeler makes a compelling case for how the Cardinals needed to "swim in deeper waters" for free agency and a more conservative approach caught up with them. He adds that a team now focused on development needs to produce its own stars. Goold counters by wondering what World Series contenders have developed their star and not had to outfit the roster with free-agent moves to complete the championship-caliber roster. The Yankees may have Aaron Judge, and they used prospects to trade for Juan Soto once, but they also signed Gerrit Cole. The Kansas City Royals have a homegrown, bona fide star in Bobby Witt Jr. But what's next? That's where the economics of the game enter the conversation and Wheeler's stance that the "big boys" need to play ball for the betterment of the game, and if that means taking less or receiving a smaller cut to spur and require the spending of the smaller markets so be it. Goold makes a suggestion for pulling that off that Wheeler contends would be difficult to sell to fans who what the tangible bumper sticker, not the boring details of how it gets done. Eventually they agree on one. It's the TV deal. Wheeler's arguments that hinge on a comparison to the NBA and its salary cap format require there to be a much larger national TV deal, one closer to what the NBA has. And that is the crux of this. Once that's in place then negotiations about a salarly floor, shared revenue, and an international draft to better balance talent coming from abroad are all more tangible because the largest issue -- the growing gulch between teams -- has been bridged. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.
