Steve Adams and Anthony Franco both join Darragh McDonald for an offseason recap, but they first discuss a string of extensions, including Colt Emerson with the Mariners, Cooper Pratt with the Brewers (reported), Shane Baz with the Orioles, Nico Hoerner with the Cubs as well as the terms of the Pete Crow-Armstrong deal.

After that, they have a big-picture conversation to recap the offseason and set the table for 2026. Topics include teams being more cautious about signing international free agents, chances of a lockout next year, how TV contracts will play out in the future, the trend of stars taking short-term deals, MLB's untenable financial situation, which teams they expect to be dominant, how PPI has led to earlier call-ups, and the fun that ABS is already providing.

The PCA and Sanchez Extensions, And Prospect Promotions And Demotions
Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald to discuss Pete Crow-Armostrong's extension with the Cubs, the Phillies further extending Christopher Sanchez and how they have most of their rotation now locked up long term, Spencer Strider starting the season on the IL, the trend of teams putting rotation candidates into the rotation rather than Triple-A, the Nationals sending both Dylan Crews and Harry Ford down to the minors, some exciting prospect promotions, including the Mets' Carson Benge, the Cardinals' JJ Weatherholt, Konnor Griffin and Travis Bazzana not making their respective opening day rosters, where the Blue Jays' rotation stands with Jose Berrios, Trey Yesavage and Shane Bieber all starting the year on the IL, and Braxton Garrett getting optioned.

Steve Adams joins Darragh McDonald to discuss what makes the World Baseball Classic so great, how Hunter Greene's elbow surgery will affect the Reds, if the Braves should address their roster holes by trading for Jarren Duran or signing Lucas Giolito, if Kevin McGonigle could break camp with the Tigers, and young Twins, Mariners and Cardinals pitchers who are turning heads in spring training.
