Welcome to Episode 76 of Tablesetters! Devin and Steve are back at the mics to bring you everything happening across the baseball landscape — from monster contracts and rising stars to organizational missteps and real-life tragedy. We begin with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s jaw-dropping 14-year, $500 million extension — the third-largest contract in MLB history — and discuss what it means not just for the Blue Jays, but for a league that's fully leaning into early-career investments. With extensions this past week for Garrett Crochet, Ketel Marte, Jackson Merrill, Cal Raleigh, and Kristian Campbell, it's clear that locking in young stars is the model. Which leads us to a central question: Will the Orioles follow suit? With talent like Gunnar Henderson, Adley Rutschman, and Jackson Holliday blossoming, it's time for Baltimore to decide whether it wants to ride the wave — or get caught chasing it later. Next up, we pivot to injuries shaping the early season. Key arms and contributors are already shelved, including Blake Snell, Spencer Arrighetti, Zach Eflin, Reynaldo López, and Victor Robles. We assess the impact of those absences and who might rise to fill the void. From there, we spotlight the scorching start of Sacramento's Tyler Soderstrom, who's tied with Aaron Judge atop the MLB home run leaderboard. His success is forcing a conversation about top prospect Nick Kurtz, who's dominating Triple-A. The Athletics may have a good problem on their hands — but one that demands a creative solution soon. We also cover two sobering off-the-field stories. First, the resignation of Tigers Assistant GM Sam Menzin following serious allegations of misconduct — a reminder of the cultural accountability still needed in front offices. And second, the devastating nightclub collapse in Santo Domingo, which claimed 66 lives, including beloved figures from both music and baseball: Octavio Dotel, Tony Blanco, Rubby Pérez, and Nelsy Cruz. In one of the week's most powerful and human moments, Jarren Duran opened up about a suicide attempt he survived during a dark period in his career. His story, shared in a Netflix docuseries, is raw, courageous, and a vital reminder of the mental health challenges facing athletes today. And we close out with a look at Chase Dollander's MLB debut — 5 innings, 6 strikeouts, and his first career win — and Zac Veen's red-hot start in Triple-A. Colorado might not contend this year, but the future is taking shape. Plus, we take a few quick swings in Take a Pitch/Swing Away — including jersey etiquette at games, Kyle Tucker's potential contract value, and whether Mets players should be publicly name-dropping Sandy Alcantara. All that and more in this week's episode. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @TablesettersPod, subscribe wherever you listen, and keep the conversation going — we're just getting warmed up.
The news about Zach Eflin being shut down leaves us wondering what the entire Orioles rotation will look like next week. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the pitching depth and sluggish bats on the Birds as they exit Arizona and head home for a wet weekend against Toronto.

Plus we got an update on Zach Eflin's shoulder injury, we'll evaluate what it means for the rotation and staff moving forward, plus we'll react to the reported Corbin Burnes contract that the Orioles offered this offseason before he decided to go to Arizona. Then at 10:15am, we will chat with Corbin Burnes for ourselves, talk about the offseason, having Scott Boras as his agent and how it affected his free agency and we'll reflect on his season in Baltimore as well. At 10:45am, we will check in with the injury expert, our friend Will Carroll, of the ‘Under the Knife' substack and dive into Zach Eflin's ‘low-grad lat strain' what that means, how long he could be out and much more as we get a little smarter. Then at 11:20am, we'll talk some golf with our guy Drew Forrester as we preview the Masters ahead of this weekend and play a little WYR Wednesday…

On a night when the Orioles got Gunnar Henderson back on track and beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 in Phoenix, the post-game concern for the early exit of ace Zach Eflin looms large for a rotation and pitching staff that is already on fumes for quality starts in April. Luke Jones and Nestor stay up late this week as the Birds try to win their first series of the season. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Eflin early departure and Gunnar bat awakening in Arizona first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Having watched Corbin Burnes look the part of a Number One starter last season, Luke Jones and Nestor look ahead to whatever Mike Elias will need to do to find the kind of performances that the Red Sox newest ace Garrett Crochet delivered on Wednesday night against the Orioles at Camden Yards. No offense, Zach Eflin, but the Birds still have some work to do on the front of the rotation. And that will define this season by October's end... The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Crochet, great pitching and Orioles top of rotation issue first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.
