    The World Series is Over but Baseball Continues!
    Nov 9 2025
    The World Series is over and the Dodgers prevailed as the champions for the second year in a row! [5:32] This week we recap the amazing Game 7 played between the Dodgers and Blue Jays, including the insane double-plays. While we both agree that the Dodgers are amazing, there are many questions for what's next for the seasoned team. [9:50] Then we review the MLB awards for 2025, and Jordan shares his predictions for National League and American League MVP winners. While the AL MVP race is tight, the NL MVP race could use some further consideration. Cy Young races are underway as well, and we share our predictions for who will prevail (spoiler: we are all in on Paul Skenes). [29:02] We wrap up the award season talk with a quick recap of the Manager of the Year awards [31:52] and the recently announced Gold Glove winners. [39:00] Finally, we get into the frenzy of free agency, with many players across the league opting in and out of their contracts. With some of the top players in the league (and one hot international candidate) electing free agency, the next few months in the MLB are sure to be exciting.
