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.
