MLB wasted absolutely no time this week, and we break down one of the most active stretches of the offseason so far.We start in Queens, where the Mets had a huge week swinging two major trades to land Luis Robert Jr. and Freddy Peralta. Do we like the moves? Did they give up too much prospect capital? And what do these moves mean for the NL East and the broader National League landscape?

Then we head across town to the Bronx, where the Yankees re-signed Cody Bellinger, a move they pretty much had to make. But is this just a necessary box-check, or the start of something bigger? What’s next for the Yankees… or is this the offseason?

From there, we dive into one of the week’s biggest deals: the Nationals sending MacKenzie Gore to the Rangers in exchange for five prospects. Did Texas pay the right price for a frontline arm, and where does this leave Washington in their rebuild?

We wrap things up with some quick pitches, including José Ramírez’s reported extension in Cleveland, Kyle Tucker almost becoming a Blue Jay, the White Sox’s active(ish) offseason, San Francisco’s offseason of “almosts,” plus thoughts on Max Scherzer, Yu Darvish, and more.

We kick off today’s episode with some pain on the football side, discussing heartbreaking losses for our respective teams, the Chicago Bears and the Miami Hurricanes, plus a quick recap of Luis’s trip to Detroit over the weekend.

Then we dive into the baseball. We open with the blockbuster news of Bo Bichette signing a 3-year, $126M deal with the New York Mets, discussing what it means for the Mets’ lineup, how it changes their offseason priorities, and what else they still need to address. We also look at the flip side for the Blue Jays, who have quietly missed out on a number of big free agents this winter. From there, we talk about Philadelphia’s immediate landing spot with J.T. Realmuto after missing out on Bichette and whether things could get awkward in Philly next season.

We then shift to Cooperstown, celebrating the two newest Hall of Famers, Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones, reflecting on their careers and touching on some of the other notable Hall of Fame voting results.

We wrap things up with a lightning round of topics from around MLB, including Ha-Seong Kim's unfortunate injury, Elly De La Cruz rejecting an extension offer from the Reds, the looming MLB lockout, what fans actually care about if it happens, and how the lockout has impacted the trade market this winter.

We open the show with one of the most shocking contracts in MLB history: Kyle Tucker signing a 4-year, $240M deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. We break down what this means for the Dodgers’ chances at a historic three-peat, how a deal like this impacts baseball as a whole with a potential lockout looming, and what went wrong for the teams that came up short, most notably the Mets and Blue Jays. From competitive balance to player leverage, we unpack all the ripple effects of a truly franchise-altering signing.

Then we dive into the rest of the week’s biggest MLB news, including Ranger Suárez signing with the Red Sox, Nolan Arenado being traded to the Diamondbacks, and the Yankees acquiring Ryan Weathers. We discuss how each move reshapes the contenders, the risks and rewards involved, and what it all means as the offseason continues to heat up.
