This includes a few starting pitchers that the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies need to perform, a seasoned veteran for the Houston Astros whose prime may be nearing its end and a high-profile free agent who has disappointed for the Toronto Blue Jays.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake & Jordan discuss the Phillies mopping the New York Mets, the Yankees revealing injury news about Anthony Volpe—and whether that's the reason behind his down season—the Washington Nationals closing in on a general manager and an alarming report of misconduct within the Detroit Tigers organization.

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter welcomes podcaster Dave Dameshek to get his assessment of the team ahead of training camp next month at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. They begin by pondering which young players could be x-factors in 2025, with a specific focus on the 2023 NFL draft class that included Joey Porter Jr., Broderick Jones, Nick Herbig, Keeanu Benton and Cory Trice Jr. Will those guys be the difference makers if coach Mike Tomlin and Co. are going to have a good season? Or, if they struggle, could they drag the whole team down regardless of what new faces like Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf and others bring to the table? Later, the guys look to Steelers history for lessons in leadership that could help the current squad. And Dave plays a game of "What If?" Imagining what might have happened had Ben Roethlisberger retired after his 2019 arm injury, and whether names like Jordan Love, Justin Herbert or Jalen Hurts could be the team's franchise quarterback right now.
