The Dodgers are back-to-back World Series champs, but 2026 comes with some minor questions. Roki Sasaki's command has been rough this spring, Blake Snell and Gavin Stone hit the IL, and Ohtani is still building up as a starter.

The New York Yankees are running it back. After coming up short last October, the Bronx Bombers are betting that the same core is good enough to get over the hump, with Aaron Judge coming off his third MVP in four years leading the charge. But running it back doesn't mean running it back healthy. Gerrit Cole is working his way back from Tommy John and touched 97 mph in batting practice, targeting...

The Phillies are one of the most complete rosters in baseball, but can they stay that way long enough to get back to October? Zack Wheeler is working his way back from thoracic outlet surgery and won't be ready for Opening Day. Andrew Painter is slotting into the rotation after his long Tommy John recovery. Justin Crawford is about to become the youngest outfielder to make a Phillies Opening D...

The New York Mets went all in this offseason, and the roster Steve Cohen & co built is a World Series contender. Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, Bo Bichette at third base, Marcus Semien at second, and a six-man rotation headlined by Freddy Peralta and Nolan McClean. But talent on paper doesn't always translate. Lindor is working his way back from hamate bone surgery. Bichette is learning a br...

🔒 Tonight's episode is SPECIAL. We were live at loanDepot Park in Miami for the World Baseball Classic and we break it all down on this podcast. First up: USA vs. Dominican Republic in the WBC Semifinal. The talent on display was unreal.

The Seattle Mariners are one of the most fascinating teams in baseball heading into 2026. In this episode, recorded LIVE in Miami, we break down whether Julio Rodriguez can finally put together a full 162-game superstar season, a pitching staff loaded with talent but riddled with health question marks, Cal Raleigh's power numbers and whether regression is coming, and one of the deepest farm system...

The Chicago Cubs added a big piece this offseason, and Alex Bregman could be the guy who pushes this roster over the top. In this episode, we break down how Bregman's veteran leadership and winning pedigree can impact the entire clubhouse, especially the young guys. We also dive into Pete Crow-Armstrong's wild split, a tale of two halves last season, and what a full year of consistency fro...

The Toronto Blue Jays shocked the baseball world last year with a run all the way to the World Series, and now the question everyone is asking is can they get back? Toronto's rotation is one of the deepest in the American League, but will it hold up over a full season or are we due for some regression? We dive into whether losing Bo Bichette will come back to haunt this team, if breakout arm Trey...

The World Baseball Classic pool play is in the books, and we're breaking it all down. We spent a lot of time on Team USA, the negativity, the bad vibes, the criticism, but also why this team still has a real chance to flip the script in the knockout round. Then we got into everything else: the Dominican Republic looking like the team to beat, Japan dominating their pool, Italy being the darlin...

The Atlanta Braves have been one of the most dominant teams in baseball over the last half decade, but 2025 was a season from hell. Injuries decimated the roster from start to finish, derailing what should have been another deep October run. Now heading into 2026, the question is whether Atlanta can finally stay healthy, and early returns from spring training aren't exactly encouraging, with i...

The Boston Red Sox are one of the most interesting teams heading into 2026, and we brought in reinforcements to break it all down. Josh Mullenix, Red Sox fan, college roommate, and podcast producer at CBS Sports, joins the show to give his unfiltered take on the state of the Sox. We talk about where this roster stands after an aggressive offseason, whether the young core is ready to take the leap,...

The Houston Astros missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016 last season, and now the pressure is on to prove the dynasty isn't over. In this episode, we break down a 2026 roster in transition. Carlos Correa is back in Houston at third base (maybe SS with the Peña injury), Yordan Alvarez needs to bounce back after an injury-plagued 48-game 2025, and an aging Jose Altuve is looking to p...

The San Diego Padres won 90 games in 2025 and look to build on that in 2026. New manager Craig Stammen takes the reins of a roster headlined by Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, Jackson Merrill, and Xander Bogaerts, but the offseason brought big changes. Dylan Cease, Luís Arráez, Robert Suárez, and Ryan O'Hearn are gone, while A.J. Preller loaded up on low-risk, high-upside additions like Nic...

The Baltimore Orioles are coming off a 75-87 last-place finish in the AL East, but they made massive moves this offseason. In this episode, we break down everything Baltimore did to retool and whether it's enough to compete in 2026.We cover the big additions in Pete Alonso, Taylor Ward, Shane Baz, Chris Bassitt, Ryan Helsley, and more, plus the early spring training injuries to Jordan Westburg...

The Tigers aren't going away. After their second straight Game 5 ALDS loss, Detroit went out and signed Framber Valdez to pair with Tarik Skubal. We break down whether this gives them the best rotation in baseball, why Skubal isn't getting traded despite the rumors, and the big question: is the lineup good enough to keep up with the pitching? Drop your Tigers win total predictions in the c...

Milwaukee had the best record in baseball last year, went to the NLCS, and then traded Freddy Peralta and Caleb Durbin this offseason. We break down Bradon Woodruff's uncertain Opening Day status, Jacob Misiorowski's transition to full-time ace, the wide-open rotation battle between Kyle Harrison, Brandon Sproat, Logan Henderson, and Robert Gasser, and a third base situation that's completely up f...

Three years removed from a World Series title and two straight playoff misses. Skip Schumaker replaces Bruce Bochy, Marcus Semien and Adolis García are gone, and the Rangers open the season at Philadelphia against García. The rotation led all of MLB in ERA last year and somehow got deeper with MacKenzie Gore slotting in behind deGrom and Eovaldi, but both aces are being slow-rolled this spring aft...

The Reds made the postseason last year and have eyes of getting back there. Eugenio Suárez returns to Cincinnati after a 49-homer season to give Elly De La Cruz real lineup protection for the first time. Matt McLain needs a bounce-back year after struggling offensively coming off shoulder surgery. Sal Stewart and Ke'Bryan Hayes round out an infield with upside everywhere. The rotation of Hunte...

The Royals made the playoffs in 2024 for the first time in nine years — then went backwards at 82-80. Bobby Witt Jr. is still the best player in the AL Central, but did J.J. Picollo do enough around him? Isaac Collins and Lane Thomas help, but the impact bat never came. We break down Carter Jensen's expanded role, whether Jac Caglianone can stick in right, the pitching depth behind Ragans, Lug...

The San Francisco Giants might be the most fascinating team in baseball this year. A storied franchise hands the keys to Tony Vitello, one of the most successful and polarizing college baseball coaches ever, and bets that his intensity and player development chops can translate to the big leagues. We break down what this means for the roster, the clubhouse culture, and whether San Francisco's...

Back-to-back AL Central titles, but the Guardians barely did anything this offseason and the offense ranked 28th in runs per game last year. Emmanuel Clase is gone. Rhys Hoskins was a late add for right-handed thump. And beyond Steven Kwan and José Ramírez, there's a lot of question marks with the linup. Chase DeLauter is the prospect everyone's watching, but he hasn't been able to sta...

Arizona is trying to compete in the NL West, but the injury list is brutal. Corbin Burnes is recovering from Tommy John and won't return until around the All-Star break. Corbin Carroll broke his hamate bone in live BP. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is out until at least May with a torn ACL. Co-closers A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez are both recovering from elbow surgery. We break down how Arizona plans to...

We could NOT agree on this team. New ownership, a roster overhaul, and a return to Tropicana Field after a year playing outdoors at Steinbrenner Field - the Rays are either a sleeper or the AL East cellar dweller. We go back and forth on whether Shane McClanahan can actually be an ace again after missing two seasons, Junior Caminero's alarming home/road splits and what moving back to one of ba...
