    Brother's Wife or Wife's Sister?
    2026/02/20
    On this week's episode, we talk about MLBPA's former union Head Tony Clark's cheating scandal, and what that means for the lockout. We update you on the most recent free agent signings and finish with a fun WBC-themed fantasy baseball draft. I saw an article this week on MLB.com that had the writers draft players that were on WBC rosters and form a team, and thought that'd be a fun exercise for us. We'll upload the rosters this week and want to know who you think would win. Last but not least, spring training games are finally upon us, which means we're ever so close to regular-season baseball! What's one thing you're looking forward to for the 2026 season?

    Whats Going On With The WBC?
    2026/02/06
    On this episode of Caught Em' Looking, we discuss the most recent free agent signing including Eugenio Suarez and Luis Arraez. We discuss some big trades, including Brendan Donovan to the Mariners and Jordan Hicks to the White Sox. We also talk WBC insurance debacles and why baseball has a thing for storylines. Tarik Skubal has his arbitration hearing, and we wait to see who will win: the Tigers or Mr. 2-time Cy-Young winner. We think Tarik, but who knows what will happen. It's Super Bowl weekend as well, so things have been somewhat slow in the baseball media world. We'll do our best to keep you updated with the latest news until the season starts.

    Hot Stove still cooking! Red Sox pivot to playoff hero
    2026/01/15
    This week we discuss the Red Sox losing Alex Bregman to the Cubs but signing Ranger Suarez days later. We also discuss the Yankees trading for Ryan Weathers and how this shapes the Al East. We touch on what Tarik Skubal's arbitration hearing could look like and why teams might lowball a player. It's been an interesting offseason so far and a lot of the top names are still out there. The next few weeks should be interesting. Where and when will Kyle Tucker Sign? What happens with Cody Bellinger now and does this out any pressure on the Yankees?
