WBC Takes HUGE Hit + Busy Giants Week & MLB T100 Reactions | Ep. 366

Today’s episode opens with some frustrating World Baseball Classic news that honestly makes no sense.Several stars won’t be participating due to insurance issues, including Francisco Lindor, Carlos Correa, José Berríos, and José Altuve, completely gutting Team Puerto Rico and taking a serious hit at the credibility of the tournament. Why does MLB always seem to shoot itself in the foot? Are we just headed for another predictable USA vs. Japan final?

From there, we run through the rest of the WBC landscape: Yoshinobu Yamamoto committing, Shohei Ohtani deciding not to pitch, commitments for Team Dominican Republic, and what it all means for the tournament’s competitiveness.

Then we dive into MLB news and notes from the week, including a busy stretch for the Giants, a Yankees trade, another Athletics extension, more moves from the White Sox, and everything else you might’ve missed.

We also react to MLB’s newly released Top 100 Players and Prospect lists before wrapping up with the stunning front office news that Twins President of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey and the team are mutually parting ways.
