On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys recap the Championship Series and examine what comes next for the Guardians and Dodgers after falling short of the big game. With the possibility of a salary cap looming over baseball, they debate how such a dramatic change could impact both franchises and their ability to compete moving forward.

Meanwhile, in the Bronx, Brian Cashman has confirmed that Aaron Boone will return as Yankees manager next season. But is bringing Boone back really the right move? The boys question whether the current Yankees era has become a watered-down version of the once-feared dynasty. Are the Yankees no longer the gold standard of Major League Baseball?

Then it's time for one of the boys' favorite annual traditions: the World Series Breakdown! With the Rays and Brewers set to battle for baseball's ultimate prize, the boys go position by position, comparing starting lineups, pitching staffs, bullpens, and overall roster strengths to determine who has the edge. Which team has the better talent, the deeper roster, and ultimately what it takes to be crowned champion?

They round out the show with Collection Corner, where Nicholas Green from Market Movers stops by to discuss the sports card market heading into the World Series, revealing which players collectors should be buying, selling, or keeping an eye on as October's biggest stage unfolds.

On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys break down the wild Division and Championship Series rounds as the road to the World Series heats up. Where do the White Sox go from here? Are the Guardians better than anyone gave them credit for? And can the Milwaukee Brewers really save baseball by winning it all? Mikey throws some cold water on that narrative, explaining why the MLB could be heading toward a labor showdown regardless of who hoists the trophy.

The boys also dive into a new rule being tested in the Arizona Fall League that could give hitters an even greater advantage. Is this another step toward improving the game, or is baseball tinkering with something that doesn't need fixing?

Then, for the season finale of the Forgotten Series, the boys turn back the clock to the 1990s and spotlight one of the coolest players of the decade: David Justice. From his raw talent and postseason heroics to his celebrity status away from the diamond, Justice seemingly had it all. A World Series champion, a household name, and a star who was always in the spotlight, it was good to be David Justice. But what happened after the fame, fortune, and glory faded? The boys revisit his remarkable career, his larger-than-life persona, and where life took him after baseball.

Afterwards, the boys round out the show with Collection Corner.

On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys recap all the action from the Wild Card and Division Series rounds. Did the right teams advance? Do the clubs still standing have enough to make a run all the way to the World Series? With the postseason field shrinking, the boys break down what they’ve seen so far and what could be coming next.

For the teams heading home, the questions are only beginning. Is it time for the Phillies to tear things down? Is Craig Counsell having second thoughts about leaving Milwaukee? Are the Astros officially entering the next chapter of their franchise? And after everything they showed this season, are the Red Sox actually legit moving forward? The boys look at what could be a fascinating offseason for some of baseball’s biggest clubs.

Then, with October baseball in full swing, the boys get an early jump on the 2027 Fantasy Baseball season. They each reveal their top-10 player rankings heading into next year, and there are more than a few surprises as they debate who belongs at the top of fantasy draft boards.

Afterwards, the boys round out the show with Collection Corner.
