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?

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.

We break down what the move means for both New York teams and why Yankees fans might be getting a little uneasy.

Up north, the Blue Jays stay aggressive by adding another arm in Cody Ponce. Are they building one of the deeper pitching staffs in the AL?

Then we dive into the markets for several of the biggest free agents in baseball: Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, Pete Alonso, Alex Bregman, and more. Who’s getting paid? Who might wait out the market? And which surprises could shake up the Winter Meetings when they begin Sunday?

As we sit a week out from Thanksgiving, we kick things off by giving the holiday the love it deserves - from our favorite dishes on the table to why the day itself doesn’t get enough respect. Then, it’s all baseball.

We start with the Braves’ busy Wednesday, breaking down Atlanta re-signing closer Raisel Iglesias and their trade for Mauricio Dubón. What do these moves signal about the rest of the Braves’ winter? And what does sending Nick Allen to Houston mean for the Astros’ plans?

Next, we react to Jeff Passan’s offseason preview article, which dropped some fascinating nuggets about how teams are approaching the winter, including the surprising possibility that the Pirates might actually spend.

From there, we dive into a record four players accepting the qualifying offer. What does each acceptance mean for the clubs involved? Are the Yankees already flirting with an offseason disaster?

We also unpack the Orioles–Angels trade and the brand-new MLB media rights deals announced Wednesday - explaining exactly how and where you’ll be able to watch MLB in 2026.

After opening with a look at how MLB can fix its offseason structure, we react to Josh Naylor returning to the Seattle Mariners on a five-year deal. With their top priority checked off, where do the M’s go from here and what does this say about their championship window?

We also give a quick reaction to Ryan Yarbrough re-signing with the Yankees before jumping into our “Three Things” segment, where each of us brings three topics that have been on our minds around the league. This week’s discussion ranges from the 2026 Hall of Fame ballot and how MLB should overhaul its awards announcements to a bigger conversation about how sports gambling has changed, and in some ways damaged, the way fans consume sports in 2025.
