The sixth version of the weekly history discussion. Plus a preview of next week's question.

Our take on the firing of the Mets GM and the fallout across baseball. The Blue Jays fortify their bullpen with a pair of signings. 

The APT boys break down the 3 team trade between the Padres, Mets and Pirates. The Padres add more talent to the rotation with the addition of Joe Musgrove. This trade takes them one step closer to catching the Dodgers. The Mets get their final rotation starter in Joey Lucchesi. They get 4 years of control and bought low on a lefty with plenty of upside. The Pirates get 5 guys in return that will boost the farm system and continue their rebuild. Overall the trade seems to work for all 3 teams with what they planned to achieve this offseason. The Red Sox bring back Martin Perez for 1 year $4.5 million, $5 million guaranteed, and an option for 22' worth $6million. The Nationals are close to acquiring lefty Jon Lester. Lester is a solid 5th starter that gives the Nationals a needed depth piece. 

In a single day, the Yankees flipped the script of the offseason and became its biggest spender. But are they really done? Could Luis Castillo of the Reds be on his way to the Bronx as well? Is George Springer to the Mets anything but inevitable? And why things are becoming dire for a once promising Blue Jays winter. 

LeMahieu and the Yankees finally reach a deal, but what does it mean for the rest of the league? Brad Hand and the Mets are close, while Kluber to the Yankees seems inevitable. Realmuto has a 9 figure contract on the table- but from who? Arbitration and International signing day. And the MLBPA and owners have reached some agreements. 

The APT Boys go over today's baseball news and give our takes on each topic. First we talk about the Kluber showcase quick so Jeremy can catch up. We then talk about Julio Teheran showcase. The Astros add Pedro Baez for 2 years $12-14 million. The Phillies Sign Archie Bradley for 1 year $6 million. The Mets sign Jose Martinez for 1 year $1 million. The Giants add Alex Wood for 1 year $3 million.
