Our final division preview leading up to Opening Day! Does anyone have what it takes to contend with the Astros to win the AL West, or is the Houston dynasty too powerful?

If there was to be a challenger, who would it be, and who else would it be but the Mariners?

The Rangers made a ton of moves to pickup starting pitching after adding a pair of sluggers in 2021. Where do they stand in the division race?

Will the Angels be able to do anything with what is almost surely Shohei Ohtani's final season with the team?

Somebody has to finish last. This division is so balanced and competitive. Who will come out on top? 

The Red Sox made a lot of moves, adding a handful of wily veterans and international free agent Masataka Yoshida. The Orioles are an up-and-comer and will not surprise anyone if they make a Wild Card berth this year. The Blue Jays improved on defense and still boast one of the best lineups in the American League. The Rays are always in the thick of the division race and have arguably the best starting rotation in Major League Baseball. The Yankees can blast home runs, but the injury bug has hit them early in Spring Training. Can they find pieces to cover and win the division crown?

Find out answers to these questions and more in our AL East Preview!

East? I thought you said Weast? 

In this episode, we complete the tour of the National League with a preview of the NL West. Are these Dodgers capable of the same as the Dodgers of the last decade? Have the Padres made enough moves to make a run at the division title? Can the Giants still be good even after missing out on Carlos Correa and Aaron Judge? Are the Diamondbacks on the way back? Will the Rockies reach their lofty goals? 

Answers to all of these questions and more in this episode!

Are they mid or just Midwest? Reds fans deserve better, the Pirates are fun, the Cubs could be interesting, the Brewers... they'll be okay, but did they improve? And the Cardinals, well, this is their team, make no mistake about it, gumshoe! If you're confused about what's going on here, just come listen to us explain as we preview all the teams in the NL Central!

Nestor Cortes and Frankie Montas are both battling injury right as MLB Spring Training opens! How will the Yankees fare with two of their five Starting Pitchers possibly sidelined?

We also cover Manny Machado openly opting out of his contract, extensions for Bo Bichette and Cristian Javier, Marlins and A's making a trade, signings including David Peralta and Michael Wacha (Wachagonnado?), and Jacob DeGrom is hurting... again...

All that and a bunch of random laughs, finished off with a series of Yo Momma jokes! Yes, you read that correctly. If you're even reading this anymore. Why don't you just watch the video or listen to the podcast if you made it this far?
