Even though Chris Young said he can’t spend a lot of Ray Davis’ money in 2026, we still think there’s a budget team to be built. In this episode, we count the nickels and dimes of player salaries for next season and play free agent musical chairs. How do Dustin May, Zac Gallen or Victor Caratini sound? Chris also debuts a new POWER RANKINGS segment.

We’re back in our make-believe booth for the final edition of Amateur Broadcast Theater for the 2025 Rangers season. In this episode, you’ll hear the sounds and our calls of the final game from Sunday, September 28th, against the Cleveland Guardians, which includes a guest appearance from Christopher’s dad acting as a sort of on-field reporter as he attended the game in Cleveland. Lots of electric plays, a few home runs and a season that ended poetically at 81-81.

Just who is Skip Schumacher? You’re about to find out. In this episode, we chronicle Skip’s time as a player, bench coach, and, of course, a skipper. We’ll never forget the heartbreaking 2011 WS, you know, the one where Skip’s team won. But we’re hoping his vision for better communication, stronger teambuilding, and establishing a new “winning clubhouse culture” throughout his next four seasons as the Rangers’ manager might help soothe the lasting burn.
