First Pitch - Daily MLB Recap

On today's show, the boys dive into a busy weekend around MLB. Jacob DeGrom makes his first appearance of spring, while the family of the late Pete Rose has petitioned the commissioner to remove him from the permanently ineligible list. The guys close the show with a preview of the probable last place finisher in the NL Central, the ever-cheap Pittsburgh Pirates. Welcome in to First Pitch, a show...

On today's show, the boys discuss Nestor Cortes' comments about how the New York Yankees were supposedly the "better team" in the World Series, despite losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five, and Gunnar Henderson of the Baltimore Orioles leaving early with an injury. They then spend most of the episode discussing the Los Angeles Dodgers roster for 2025, one that is favored to not only win the N...

On today's special debate episode, the boys compare the Arizona Diamondbacks to the San Diego Padres to figure out who will likely finish 2nd in the NL West. Which matters more, ceiling or floor? Having top-end stars or having MLB-caliber depth at every position? The boys discuss it. Welcome in to First Pitch, a show coming at you every weekday covering what's going on around Major League Baseball...

The boys discuss Sean Manaea of the New York Mets being shut down with an oblique strain, making it two different Mets starters out for Opening Day, and discuss if New York should stay the course or go acquire a starter. They then break down the Scott Efross injury for the Yankees and preview this year's San Francisco Giants. Welcome in to First Pitch, a show coming at you every weekday covering w...

The boys are back to discuss the injuries that are already beginning to add up. Whether it's Bobby Miller of the Dodgers taking a comebacker to the face, Nick Madrigal of the Mets with a non-contact shoulder injury, or seemingly the entire Cubs infield hampered at the moment. The guys then move on to previewing the NL West, starting with perennial bottom dwellers Colorado Rockies. Welcome in to Fi...

The boys discuss the news of ESPN and MLB mutually agreeing to end their contract after this season, the breaking news of the New York Yankees dropping their facial hair policy, and previewing the Texas Rangers and their high risk, high reward rotation.   Welcome in to First Pitch, a show coming at you every weekday covering what's going on around Major League Baseball.

On today's show, the guys discuss more drama coming out of Red Sox camp about where Rafael Devers will play before getting into actual news - Justin Turner signing with the Cubs, Willson Contreras getting swole, Joe Buck calling a game on Opening Day, and previewing the Seattle Mariners. Welcome in to First Pitch, a show coming at you every weekday covering what's going on around Major League Base...

The boys discuss the surprising insistence of Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers that he won't move off of his preferred position in deference to the much better defense of free agent signing Alex Bregman, before discussing Mike Trout of the Angels agreeing to move to right field and Jose Altuve of the Astros working in left field. The boys then break down the injury of Mets starter Franki...

Blue Jays first baseman Vlad Guerrero Jr. has set a deadline of Tuesday before he cuts off negotiations for an extension - will Toronto pay the man?

Welcome in to First Pitch, a show coming at you every weekday covering what's going on around Major League...

The financial details are out on the deferred contract of Alex Bregman with the Boston Red Sox and incentives from the Los Angeles Dodgers for Clayton Kershaw.

We cover the contract and playing time fallout, as well as the news of Nick Pivetta signing with the San Diego Padres on a really weird contract and preview the Minnesota Twins' chances in 202...

The boys are back from the weekend to break down what's happening across the league. Now that pitchers and catchers are starting to report, the Dodgers are using the additional roster flexibility that rings (via the 60-day IL) to bring back utilityman Kiké Hernandez. Then the guys break down the Cleveland Guardians - are they going to struggle with Lane Thomas in centerfield? Can the rotation pitc...

On today's show, the boys break down a rumored trade offer between the Cardinals and Red Sox for 3B Nolan Arenado before wrapping up their AL East previews with the Tampa Bay Rays: Do their young players come into their own this year? Can someone step up in the bullpen? Is there enough pitching depth to make it through 162 and still be effective in October? Welcome in to First Pitch, a show coming...

After turning down a seven-year extension and a three-year free agent deal, Pete Alonso has finally agreed to a two year, $54M deal to return to the Mets while preserving the ability to head back to free agency next winter. Who won the negotiations and what does this mean for Alex Bregman and Nolan Arenado potentially joining new teams? Plus, the boys continue their AL East previews with the under...

The guys discuss some of the minor deals - Ryan Brazier traded to the Cubs, Tim Hill back to the Yankees - before diving into the Boston Red Sox. Despite a strange reluctance to spend money, Boston's added to their rotation and bullpen this offseason and appear poised to beef up third base via trade (Nolan Arenado) or free agency (Alex Bregman). But is the defense and depth good enough to let them...

The guys discuss MLB's firing of umpire Pat Hoberg for gambling offenses before jumping into a preview of the New York Yankees for 2025. What's the plan for either second or third base?

We discuss the old pitcher renaissance as well as reports that the Mets and Braves are trying to trade Dylan Cease and the Dodgers DFA-ing Ryan Brasier. Welcome in to First Pitch, a show coming at you every weekday covering what's goin...

The Kansas City Royals signed (overpaid?) reliever Carlos Estevez while still not addressing their corner outfield spots. Also, the Tampa Bay Rays made a smart move by signing Ha-Seong Kim, the Cincinnati Reds traded for Trevor Rogers, and recent rule changes in MLB. Welcome in to First Pitch, a show coming at you every weekday covering what's going on around Major League Baseball. Hosted by Linds...

We now have contract information for the Los Angeles Dodgers' signing of Kirby Yates, but the deal's still not official because they have to find someone to take a player off their 40-man roster. Also, the boys discuss the Orioles trading either Ryan Mountcastle or Heston Kjersted (and why the Mariners should be their first call, not the Mets), some interesting NRIs, and the new cover athletes of...

The Chicago Cubs traded for closer Ryan Pressley from the Houston Astros over the weekend, but is it enough to lock down the NL Central crown? Also: MLB Network/The Shredder's list of the best shortstops in baseball is HORRIBLE because of its Bobby Witt Jr. disrespect and Steve Cohen sounds off on the contract offers from Scott Boras and Pete Alonso.    Welcome in to First Pitch, a show coming at...
