 Baseball Podcast is your daily excuse to think about nothing but baseball—and to feel good about how much you know when the next big moment happens. From Opening Day to the final out of the World Series, this show is built for fans who want more than scores and hot takes. If you find yourself refreshing box scores, arguing about OPS+ versus batting average, or following prospects before they hit the majors, you’re in the right place.Each episode of Baseball Podcast zooms in on the stories that actually shape the season. You’ll get smart, clear breakdowns of the games that matter, the trends hiding in the stats, and the moves that front offices hope you don’t fully understand. We unpack everything from breakout stars and slumping veterans to trade deadline chaos, call-ups, injuries, and postseason races, explaining what’s noise and what really changes the landscape of the league.This isn’t just a recap show. Baseball Podcast blends traditional baseball talk—box scores, standings, and streaks—with modern analytics and advanced stats. You’ll hear how WAR, wRC+, pitch tunneling, defensive shifts, and Statcast data reveal things the eye test can’t always catch, and how to use those insights to understand why teams win, why they lose, and where they go next. But don’t worry, we keep the language approachable, so whether you’re an old-school fan or a stat-head, you’ll feel at home.We also look beyond the field. Baseball Podcast dives into the business and culture of the sport: big contracts, ownership decisions, rule changes, media narratives, and fan debates. When something shakes up baseball—robot umps, pitch clock tweaks, expanded playoffs, or free agency drama—our job is to walk you through what’s happening, why the league is doing it, and how it changes the game you love.You’ll hear regular segments that keep you coming back: series previews and reactions, “player of the week” spotlights, deep dives into teams on the rise or quietly collapsing, and mailbag questions straight from listeners. We’ll talk rivalries, history, and those weird, wonderful baseball quirks that only this sport can produce. Some episodes will focus on big-picture league themes, others will zero in on a single team, player, or moment and really break it down.Whether you’re a diehard fan watching 162 games a year, a fantasy baseball manager looking for an edge, or a more casual follower who wants to sound sharp in group chats and at the ballpark, Baseball Podcast is made to fit into your routine. Listen on your commute, while you’re at the gym, doing chores, or in the background during late-night west coast games. You’ll finish each episode with a clearer sense of where the season stands and what to watch for next.If you’re tired of shallow coverage and want a baseball show that respects your time and your curiosity, hit subscribe. Baseball Podcast gives you real analysis, real stories, and real love for the game—one episode at a time.

  • Murakami’s Shockwave & Baseball’s New Economy

    Murakami’s Shockwave & Baseball’s New Economy
    Dec 26 2025
    The holidays may be winding down, but the MLB hot stove is still raging — and this episode is your guided tour through the moves, rumors, and pressure points that are shaping the 2026 season before Spring Training even begins. We start with the signing nobody saw coming: Japanese superstar slugger Munetaka Murakami landing with the Chicago White Sox on a two-year, $34 million deal. For a franchise coming off multiple 100-loss seasons, it’s more than a bat — it’s instant relevance. We break down why Murakami’s age, plate discipline, and elite power profile make the fit so intriguing, how the short-term structure protects both sides, and why his off-field gesture in Chicago felt like the perfect “new era” moment. From there, we head west to the Athletics, who are making loud “we’re building something” statements even amid relocation uncertainty. The centerpiece is Tyler Soderstrom’s massive extension, and we dig into what that commitment says about their timeline, their young core, and how teams are increasingly trying to buy out arbitration years before prices explode. Then comes one of the most fascinating trades of the winter: Jeff McNeil to the A’s, with the Mets eating a significant chunk of money to prioritize flexibility and upside — a clear snapshot of how modern rebuild economics are evolving. In Boston, the Red Sox add another twist to their roster puzzle by acquiring Wilson Contreras, and we unpack the immediate domino effect: first base/DH congestion, what it means for Triston Casas and Masataka Yoshida, and why “add talent first, solve fit later” is a real front-office philosophy (especially when the bat is that tempting). On the other side of the deal, the Cardinals signal a full-throttle teardown — a rebuild that’s going to test patience, demand prospect growth, and redefine their identity in the NL Central. We also hit the “quiet but important” moves: Rob Refsnyder giving Seattle a weapon versus lefties, Merrill Kelly returning to stabilize Arizona’s rotation, and Pittsburgh adding offense with Ryan O’Hearn while also making an under-the-radar infield upgrade. And yes — we talk about the teams not moving, including the growing spotlight on Washington’s multi-year free agent drought and what “extreme austerity” looks like in a league where windows close fast. Then it’s time for the big fish still circling: the Alex Bregman sweepstakes (and why so many rumors feel like leverage theater), Toronto’s aggressive posture after coming heartbreakingly close to a title, and the franchise-altering choice between chasing Bo Bichette (even with a position shift) or going all-in for a more perfectly tailored fit like Kyle Tucker. We also discuss the ticking clock on Japanese power option Kazuma Okamoto, and how teams pivot when the top tier starts coming off the board. On the pitching side, we run through the market’s key remaining arms and the best team fits — from steadying forces to reclamation bets — while exploring what contenders truly value right now: durability, postseason utility, and the ability to “raise the floor” on a staff that can’t afford another injury spiral. The episode isn’t only transactions, though. We zoom out to the bigger storylines: prospect development markers that actually matter (not just the surface stats), the way organizations use pitch design to unlock the next leap, and the league-wide concern that’s getting harder to ignore — the vulnerability created by prop betting and how it can threaten the integrity of the sport. We close with a fun mix of history and perspective: the “all-awardless” standouts of 2025, the infamous pool-party feud that turned into a decade-long rivalry fuel source, the wild alternate timeline where Mookie Betts almost walked away from baseball, and why the winter calendar has a habit of producing both brilliant masterstrokes and painful cautionary tales. Press play, settle in, and let’s map the offseason — before the next domino drops.

  • The Offseason Split Screen: Dodgers Money, Small-Market Reality

    The Offseason Split Screen: Dodgers Money, Small-Market Reality
    Dec 16 2025
    Mid-December 2025 and the MLB offseason isn’t settling down—it’s splitting in half. In this episode, we break down a market that feels like two different sports: the mega-spenders (Dodgers, Mets, Yankees) pushing financial limits, and the budget-conscious clubs (Guardians, Brewers, Royals) trying to win with timing, trades, and farm systems instead of brute-force payroll. We start with the number that defines the winter: the Dodgers resetting the closer market with Edwin Díaz (3 years, $69M) and using deferrals to keep the competitive balance tax hit “manageable”—while their total deferred obligations soar past $1 billion through 2047. From there, we pivot to the collateral damage in Queens: the Mets losing core pieces, replacing Díaz with Devin Williams, adding Jorge Polanco, and still staring at rotation and outfield holes that won’t be easy to patch. Across town, the Yankees are dealing with a looming pitching crisis, making their pursuit of Michael King feel less like a luxury and more like survival—while the entire hitter market waits on the final price signals around Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, and Alex Bregman. We also hit the tactical end of free agency: Atlanta’s one-year, high-AAV reunion with Ha-seong Kim, Philadelphia’s defense-first gamble on Adolis García (and what luxury tax math does to that “$10M” price tag), and Seattle’s high-stakes trade dilemma between Ketel Marte’s upside and Brendan Donovan’s versatility. The episode widens to the rest of the league: Minnesota’s calculated bet on Josh Bell, Cleveland’s youth-first optimism (and what projections say), Kansas City’s commitment move with a major extension, and a pitching trade board headlined by the Skubal-vs.-Peralta debate. We then race toward the international deadline drama—Murakami, Okamoto, and Imai—and close with the big-picture questions: managerial pay gaps, Hall of Fame contradictions (Bonds/Clemens vs. Rose), and a potentially game-changing new path for Japanese talent aiming for MLB control through the draft.

  • Orlando Shockwaves: How the Winter Meetings Rewired MLB

    Orlando Shockwaves: How the Winter Meetings Rewired MLB
    Dec 10 2025
    Fresh out of a chaotic week in Orlando, this episode drops you right into the heart of the MLB Winter Meetings – a four-day stretch where the market didn’t just warm up, it blew apart. The hosts walk through how a flurry of early mega-deals essentially set the going rate for elite talent in a matter of hours, reshaping the entire 2026 landscape before some GMs even had time to unpack their suitcases. They start with the two “detonations” that reset the market: Edwin Díaz’s record-shattering three-year, $69 million deal with the Dodgers and Kyle Schwarber’s five-year, $150 million return to Philadelphia. You’ll hear why Díaz was a necessity for a shaky L.A. bullpen, how his AAV instantly raised the floor for every high-leverage reliever, and why Schwarber’s contract not only locks in the Phillies’ win-now core but also becomes the benchmark number looming over Pete Alonso’s stalled negotiations with the Mets – and his meetings with the Red Sox and Orioles. From there, the show digs into the domino effect: the Mets’ high-risk pivot to Devin Williams, bullpen reshaping in Detroit and Tampa Bay, Brad Keller’s growing market as a swingman, and the latest wave of high-upside international returns like Cody Ponce and Anthony Kay. The hosts then shift to a trade market that’s hotter than the free-agent board, breaking down why Ketel Marte is on the block before his 10-and-5 rights kick in, why Edward Cabrera is the likeliest Marlins arm to move, and how the Tigers are boxed into a franchise-defining decision on two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. The episode also zooms out to bigger organizational pivots. You’ll hear how the Twins slammed the brakes on a sell-off and flipped back into buyers, why the Cardinals under new GM Shane Bloom are embracing an “urgent rebuild” and listening on stars like Brendan Donovan and Nolan Arenado, and how the Guardians and Rockies are trying to build their future through a mix of draft capital, player development, and a full-blown embrace of analytics. Off the field, the hosts unpack a Hall of Fame ballot that finally ushers Jeff Kent into Cooperstown while all but slamming the door on Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, the draft lottery that hands a huge lifeline to the White Sox (and a surprise top-four pick to the Giants), the nuances of the Rule 5 draft and the kinds of players contenders quietly target there, and the early shape of Team USA’s loaded 2026 World Baseball Classic roster. They close by breaking down MLB’s new flexible national TV package with ESPN and what the integration of MLB.TV into the ESPN app means for how fans will actually watch games next season. By the end, you’ll understand not just who signed where, but how the prices for closers and sluggers were reset overnight, why the trade market for frontline pitching and impact bats is about to go nuclear, and why the philosophical tug-of-war in St. Louis between an urgent rebuild and the traditional “Cardinal Way” might be the defining storyline of the next two seasons.
