The Baseball Insiders hosts Adam Weinrib and MLB Insider Robert Murray recap the MLB GM Meetings, which GMs could make a big splash, and any hope in lockout talks.

Robert reacts to the first free agency domino's to fall, coaching hires, and everything he is buy and selling from MLB GM Meetings.

The Baseball Insiders hosts Adam Weinrib and Eric Cole sit down with Cards HQ founder and CEO Geoff Wilson to break down how the Milwaukee Brewers’ World Series win moved baseball card prices, and what the looming MLB lockout could mean for collectors and investors.

Geoff shares which Brewers cards are up over the last 60 days, including Christian Yelich, William Contreras and Jackson Chourio, and why championship bumps like the Knicks’ often fade. They also cover Sal Stewart’s NL Rookie of the Year win over Carson Benge and JJ Wetherholt and the Bowman Chrome red rookie redemption fallout. Geoff explains how Cards HQ is protecting itself from the lockout, why he expects interest to shift toward vintage, Hall of Famers and 90s inserts, and what Topps changed in Year 2 of Flagship NBA.
