| 17 Jan 2025 | Mets pivoting from Pete Alonso, International Signing Day recap & remembering Bob Uecker | 01:03:01 | |
While many of the top free agents this offseason have signed and know where they’ll be playing baseball next season, one franchise player still remains on the market and it seems like his old team is ready to move on. After signing Jesse Winker on Thursday, the New York Mets are reportedly ready to pivot their offseason plans away from bringing back franchise first baseman Pete Alonso. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss why the polar bear has a right to be frustrated with the way things have gone for him this free agency with the Mets, question the lack of interest in a player who has been so durable on the field and explore where he could ultimately end up if his time in Queens is actually over. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys take a look back and remember the remarkable career of the late Bob Uecker, give a recap of some of the more notable International Signing Day players who signed, break down the latest in the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes involving the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, and Toronto Blue Jays, before making their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.

| 29 Oct 2024 | Dodgers on verge of World Series title, Yankees bats come out flat in the Bronx in Game 3 | 00:35:37 | |
When the Los Angeles Dodgers rolled into the Bronx on Monday night, they knew they would be in for a fight in order to take one step closer to achieving their ultimate goal. However, as quickly as the fight started, the Dodgers were able to land a big punch that seemed to knock the wind out of the New York Yankees and their fans. The Bronx Bombers were ultimately unable to recover. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Dodgers taking Game 3 in New York behind Walker Buehler’s strong outing, give an update on Shohei Ohtani following his injury in Game 2 and discuss Freddie Freeman hitting yet another home run as the Dodgers are now one win away from raising the Commissioner’s Trophy.

| 19 Dec 2024 | Yankees trade for Bellinger, MLB’s report on injury epidemic, Arenado blocks Astros deal | 01:12:12 | |
Brian Cashman and the New York Yankees struck again in their post-Juan Soto pivot, this time acquiring former MVP Cody Bellinger from the Chicago Cubs. While pitching has been at the forefront for the Bronx Bombers so far this offseason, acquiring the two-time All-Star slugger is the first move in trying to assemble an offensive lineup that Cashman hopes will get the Yankees back to the Fall Classic in 2025. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the deal, which many thought was inevitable, why Yankee fans should temper their offensive expectations for Bellinger and why the Cubs were more than happy to dump his salary after acquiring Kyle Tucker. The guys also try to figure out where the Yankees will play the Gold Glove winner, since they have needs in the outfield and at first base and why New York needs to make more moves to avoid this offseason being declared a failure. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake & Jordan break down the report issued by MLB on their findings regarding the elbow injury epidemic currently facing the game. They discuss the key takeaways from baseball’s findings and offer a few possible solutions to help fix the problem. The guys then talk about Nolan Arenado blocking a trade to the Houston Astros, the Baltimore Orioles signing Tomoyuki Sugano and make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.

| 10 Dec 2024 | Roki Sasaki gets posted, Juan Soto-Yankees suite drama & Nolan Arenado on the trade block | 00:42:54 | |
As the 2024 MLB Winter Meetings wrap up in Dallas, the baseball world is still discussing the historic contract the New York Mets handed out to Juan Soto. However, on Tuesday, it was another young, budding superstar who had baseball buzzing, when more details emerged about Japanese star pitcher Roki Sasaki and his free agency. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the media scrum with Sasaki’s agent, Joel Wolfe, which provided a little more clarity regarding the pitcher’s intentions to come to the United States to pitch next season, whether taking the biggest deal is a priority for him and why he’s choosing a different route than fellow countryman Shohei Ohtani. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about the St. Louis Cardinals putting All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado on the trade block and where he could possibly wind up, whether the New York Yankees not offering a suite to Juan Soto during negotiations was truly a dealbreaker that led him to the New York Mets and they provide an update on the Scott Boras Offseason Scoreboard following Tyler O’Neill and Michael Conforto signing deals.

| 27 Nov 2024 | Blake 182: Snell signs five-year, $182 million deal to join Dodgers | 00:45:45 | |
Last offseason when Blake Snell was a free agent, it took him and his agent Scott Boras until March 19th to strike a deal with the San Francisco Giants. After opting out of his two-year contract at the end of this season, Snell has struck a deal a lot quicker, and richer, than last offseason. Jake Mintz is joined by Russell Dorsey as they talk bout the two-time Cy Young award winner agreeing to a five-year, $182 million deal with the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers. They discuss why Snell didn’t get a contract like this last offseason following his Cy Young campaign and the importance that he brings as an anchor to a rotation that has a few question marks. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Russell get into the complaints from non-Dodger fans about Los Angeles issuing out another contract that includes deferred money, why it’s all fair what the Dodgers are doing and the reason why this signing hurts the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants more than other teams.

| 16 Dec 2024 | Cubs, Yankees make big trades, A’s spending conundrum & MLB in Vietnam | 01:01:10 | |
The Chicago Cubs have been in need of a big-time player to join their lineup and improve their offense after a disappointing 2024 season. Late last week, they finally did so by landing one of the most coveted trade chips on the block: Kyle Tucker from the Houston Astros. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the blockbuster trade that sent the three-time All-Star to the Windy City and why it doesn't matter that the Cubs had to trade a few notable prospects to land the Gold Glove outfielder. They also wonder why the Astros ultimately traded Tucker and weren't able to get an extension done for him sooner to avoid letting him reach free agency after the 2025 season. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan talk about another post-Juan Soto pivot from Brian Cashman, as the New York Yankees acquired the two-time NL Reliever of the Year, Devin Williams, from the Milwaukee Brewers. They then dive into the trade that saw the Tampa Bay Rays send Jeffrey Springs to the Sacramento A’s and how it's a move that will help solve the A’s spending conundrum. The guys close the episode by discussing a few other minor transactions in baseball, the Minnesota Twins being for sale and Jake talks about his MLB findings while in Vietnam.

| 20 Feb 2025 | No extension for Vlad Jr., Devers vs. Bregman drama in Boston & can Ohtani parallel park? | 00:50:48 | |
The self-imposed deadline between Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays to ink the first baseman to a long-term deal has come and gone without an agreement. Vladdy may not be very long for the powder blue unis north of the border. Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman open today's podcast episode diving into what this means for the Blue Jays and for Vlad with no extension in place and the 1B likely heading to free agency this November. Did Juan Soto's massive offseason haul make Vlad reconsider his options in regards to testing the market? Will the Blue Jays look to trade their homegrown star before this summer's deadline? Jake & Jordan talk it all out. Elsewhere in the majors, Alex Bregman has only been with the Boston Red Sox for a few weeks and already there is drama in the infield. When asked if he would be willing to give up playing third base to the incoming Bregman, longtime Sox 3B Rafael Devers simply said, "no." First baseman Tristan Casas backed Devers up. What will that mean for Boston's infield this year as now there is a crowded game of musical chairs at first base, third base and DH. Later in the show, Jordan Shusterman discusses commissioner Rob Manfred's latest address to the media this week in Arizona and how he mostly defended the Los Angeles Dodgers' winter spending spree which had come under the ire of the other 29 fanbases. Closing out the show, the guys play a round of The Good, The Bad, The Uggla in which the Houston Astros are moving Jose Altuve to left field, Shohei Ohtani cannot parallel park his Porsche and Jake has some recommendations to rename the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues. (1:30) - Vlad Jr. does not extend with Toronto before deadline (18:25) - Devers vs. Bregman at 3B in Boston (27:10) - Manfred speaks about LAD's spending spree (34:40) - The Good, The Bad & The Uggla: Altuve to LF, Shohei can't park, Grapefruit league names & more

One of the most notable free agents has finally signed with only days until Spring Training, and it’s a reunion that many have been expecting. Late Wednesday night, the New York Mets and Pete Alonso agreed on a deal to bring the Polar Bear back for at least one more season in Flushing. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss why the re-signing by the Mets was always inevitable despite the back-and-forth between the club and Alonso’s camp, the reasoning why the first-base market never materialized for Pete and the reason why the Amazin’s lineup looks so much better now. Also, on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about a few notable Spring Training position battles, including who is playing third base for the New York Yankees and which pitchers might be included in an already crowded Los Angeles Dodgers starting rotation. Jake & Jordan then talk about a few important players returning in 2025 before making their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.

With the calendar flipping over to 2025, we are now officially less than two months away from pitchers and catchers reporting for Spring Training. While teams are starting to finalize their rosters for who’s coming to camp, there are still quite a few notable free agents out there looking for jobs. But is time running out for these players to get the deal they’re hoping for? Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman open the show discussing what options Alex Bregman has left since the Houston Astros have clearly pivoted from bringing him back, if it’s inevitable that the New York Mets and Pete Alonso will figure out some sort of deal and where future Hall of Famers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander can take their talents to try and win one more championship. Also on this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys discuss the Baltimore Orioles signing Charlie Morton to a one-year deal and why, even though it’s a nice addition, this offseason for the Birds has been questionable. They then get into the Los Angeles Dodgers signing Korean free agent Hyeseong Kim and the reason it’s a perfect landing spot for the three-time KBO Golden Glove Award winner.

| 13 Feb 2025 | Alex Bregman to the Red Sox, Padres and Angels make moves & Yankees big question mark | 01:05:04 | |
The last holdout for notable free agents has finally signed, as Alex Bregman and the Boston Red Sox agreed to a deal late Wednesday night that sees the former Houston Astros third baseman taking his talents to Beantown. While the move isn’t entirely shocking considering both the team and player have been connected throughout the offseason, how Bregman fits is the next question. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss why it was a logical move for the Red Sox to acquire the former All-Star, if Bregman will opt out of his contract following 2025 and the possible reason he chose to play for the Red Sox and manager Alex Cora instead of reuniting with A.J. Hinch in Detroit for a longer deal. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys discuss Nick Pivetta and Kenley Jansen signing deals out on the West Coast, as well as talk about one of the bigger problems the New York Yankees might be facing this season. Jake & Jordan then make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla, including if Anthony Rendon has played his final game in the bigs.

Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about Scott Boras’s annual pun-fest regarding the free agents he’s representing this offseason, the Los Angeles Angels making a few moves right out of the gate and why the Milwaukee Brewers seem destined for another heated arbitration session.

| 27 Jan 2025 | Astros trade could lead to Bregman reunion, Steve Cohen draws the line on Pete Alonso & LIDOM controversy? | 00:51:05 | |
Over the weekend, the Houston Astros were finally able to trade reliever Ryan Pressly to the Chicago Cubs after he agreed to waive his no-trade clause and sign off on the deal. With the trade going through and some money being saved, could this mean the Astros are willing to bring back a familiar face at third base? Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss whether the Pressly-Cubs trade could indicate that Houston is trying to find funds to re-sign Alex Bregman and reunite him with Jose Altuve, something the second baseman has said he's willing to do by moving to the outfield to help accommodate the team. Even though the Astros have, in theory, moved on from the two-time All-Star based on the moves they’ve made, perhaps a reunion could be in the cards now. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about comments made by New York Mets owner Steve Cohen at Amazin’ Day, which suggest he might be drawing a line in the sand regarding bringing back Pete Alonso and why he may be showing agent Scott Boras he’s done being taken advantage of. Later, Jake and Jordan discuss some controversy in the LIDOM championship that might involve a corked bat, as well as the Washington Nationals doing something they’ve never done before.
