We kick off today’s episode with some pain on the football side, discussing heartbreaking losses for our respective teams, the Chicago Bears and the Miami Hurricanes, plus a quick recap of Luis’s trip to Detroit over the weekend.

Then we dive into the baseball. We open with the blockbuster news of Bo Bichette signing a 3-year, $126M deal with the New York Mets, discussing what it means for the Mets’ lineup, how it changes their offseason priorities, and what else they still need to address. We also look at the flip side for the Blue Jays, who have quietly missed out on a number of big free agents this winter. From there, we talk about Philadelphia’s immediate landing spot with J.T. Realmuto after missing out on Bichette and whether things could get awkward in Philly next season.

We then shift to Cooperstown, celebrating the two newest Hall of Famers, Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones, reflecting on their careers and touching on some of the other notable Hall of Fame voting results.

We wrap things up with a lightning round of topics from around MLB, including Ha-Seong Kim's unfortunate injury, Elly De La Cruz rejecting an extension offer from the Reds, the looming MLB lockout, what fans actually care about if it happens, and how the lockout has impacted the trade market this winter.

We open the show with one of the most shocking contracts in MLB history: Kyle Tucker signing a 4-year, $240M deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. We break down what this means for the Dodgers’ chances at a historic three-peat, how a deal like this impacts baseball as a whole with a potential lockout looming, and what went wrong for the teams that came up short, most notably the Mets and Blue Jays. From competitive balance to player leverage, we unpack all the ripple effects of a truly franchise-altering signing.

Then we dive into the rest of the week’s biggest MLB news, including Ranger Suárez signing with the Red Sox, Nolan Arenado being traded to the Diamondbacks, and the Yankees acquiring Ryan Weathers. We discuss how each move reshapes the contenders, the risks and rewards involved, and what it all means as the offseason continues to heat up.

We kick things off with a huge night in Chicago, breaking down an all-time Bears comeback playoff win over the Packers and the Cubs landing a franchise-altering signing with Alex Bregman. From there, we pivot briefly to College Football, talking about Indiana’s rise and the sudden wave of Hoosier fans now that the program is legit.

Then it’s full baseball mode. We dive deep into Bregman’s 5-year, $175M deal with the Cubs - what it means for Chicago, how it impacts Scott Boras and his clients, and which teams came up short, with a special focus on the Boston Red Sox. The Cubs stay in the spotlight as we break down their busy week, including the trade for Edward Cabrera, his injury concerns, and why we love the deal for Peter Bendix and the Marlins.

We hit the rest of the biggest MLB news from around the league, including Cody Bellinger reportedly asking for $37M per year and the Yankees bowing out, the Tarik Skubal arbitration hearing, Max Kepler’s PED suspension, and more.

We wrap things up with a fun crossover segment as William assigns MLB franchise equivalents to the remaining NFL playoff teams, with Luis reacting along the way.

The boys break down recent MLB offseason news, starting with Tatsuya Imai’s surprising signing with the Houston Astros. What does the move signal for Houston, especially with the assumption that Framber Valdez could be on his way out? Does Imai actually make the Astros better in the short term, and with opt-outs after each season of the three-year deal, could Houston flip him at the deadline if things go sideways? We also debate whether a strong year could put Imai right back on the market next winter.

From there, we react to the breaking news of Kazuma Okamoto signing with the Toronto Blue Jays. Why does this feel like the most Blue Jays-coded move imaginable, and what does it mean for the rest of Toronto’s offseason? Are they still serious about re-signing Bo Bichette? Are they actually in the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes, or is that door now closed? If not Toronto, where do the remaining top free agents end up?

We wrap things up by zooming out and talking about the painfully slow MLB offseason as a whole, why deals continue to drag, what’s broken in the current system, and whether the league can (or should) do anything to fix it.

The boys kick off the Boxing Day pod by reacting to the Christmas Day action across the NBA and NFL, then discuss how MLB could stake its claim to a marquee summer holiday of its own.

From there, they dive into the MLB offseason, starting with the Willson Contreras trade and what it means for both the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals. The discussion continues with the Jeff McNeil trade and Tyler Soderstrom extension for the Athletics, and Munetaka Murakami signing with the Chicago White Sox.

The guys also break down Ryan O’Hearn landing with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Pete Fairbanks heading to the Miami Marlins, and the Shane Baz and Brandon Lowe trades. Plus, they react to Bryce Harper committing to Team USA for the World Baseball Classic, analyze the luxury tax spenders, and settle the timeless debate: do you eat a hot dog with one hand or two?

We break down the latest moves across Major League Baseball, including Michael King heading to the Padres, Luke Weaver and Jorge Polanco joining the Mets, Robert Suárez landing with the Braves, and several other notable transactions shaping the league.

We then dive into some of the biggest storylines around the sport, including a now-loaded Team USA roster taking shape for the World Baseball Classic, growing buzz around a potential Ketel Marte trade, Mike Trout’s return to center field, and more MLB news and rumors you don’t want to miss.

The 2025 Winter Meetings were busy and we’re breaking down every major move.

We start with the stunners of the week: the Mets losing Pete Alonso to the Orioles and Edwin Díaz heading to the Dodgers. What do these departures mean for the Mets’ future? What do the moves mean for the Orioles and Dodgers? And where do the Mets go from here after losing two franchise cornerstones?

From there, we dive into Kyle Schwarber re-signing with the Phillies on a massive $150M deal, what it means for Philly’s lineup, and why the Reds missing out could reshape their offseason plans.

We also touch on the Yankees’ continued silence, whether fans should be concerned, and a handful of other notable Winter Meetings deals that could fly under the radar but matter come 2025.
