The Cleveland Indians finished 2nd in the AL Central and missed the playoffs. It seems like the Indians' window of contention has closed, which is somewhat shocking considering how close they were to winning it all a few years ago. Carlos Santana returned home and had the best year of his career and Shane Bieber became one of the best pitchers in the AL. Should the Indians trade Francisco Lindor? All this (and more) on today's episode.

The St. Louis Cardinals won the NL Central in 2019 and made their return to the postseason after a three-year absence. With a pitching staff led by Jack Flaherty and a defense anchored by Kolten Wong, the Cardinals had a very good season. Strong rookie seasons by Tommy Edman and Dakota Hudson makes for an intriguing young core of players moving forward, and the Cardinals are poised to contend again in 2020.

The Milwaukee Brewers rode a big September to sneak into the playoffs. They were hovering around .500 for much of the year, but something seemed to click at the end of the season despite losing Christian Yelich to injury. Their loss in the Wild Card game will haunt Brewers fans for a while, as they were six outs away from advancing. Signing a front-line starting pitcher should be among the Brewers' top priorities this off-season. All this on today's episode.

The New York Mets improved in 2019. They won nine more games than the previous year, yet some people will say they didn't meet expectations. It's tough to become a playoff team overnight, but the Mets took steps in that direction. Jacob deGrom took home his second consecutive Cy Young award and Pete Alonso was the HR champion and Rookie of the Year. If not for such a poor start to the year, the Mets may have made the playoffs. Jeff McNeil is a legitimate stud and he let everyone know it. What should the Mets be doing this offseason to take another leap next year? All this on today's episode.

After losing Goldschmidt, Pollock, and Corbin last offseason, the Arizona Diamondbacks weren't expected to do much in 2019. They had a good year and finished second in the NL West with a record of 85-77. Ketel Marte put of MVP-caliber numbers, and they enjoyed big seasons from a bunch of other hitters. Their pitching staff was solid for the most part even though the traded Greinke away at the deadline. Look for the Dbacks to build off this momentum in 2020. All this on today's episode.

After winning the World Series in 2018, the Red Sox came into the year with high expectations. They didn't come anywhere near these expectations, largely due to a poor pitching. Rafael Devers and Xander Bogaerts were the two big breakout stars in the lineup, an the offense was pretty good as a whole. What will the Red Sox do with Mookie Betts this winter? Will Chris Sale ever be elite again? All this (and more) on today's episode.

The Chicago Cubs finished at third place in the NL Central. They missed the playoffs in a tough division race, but they did have bright moments through the year. Nicholas Castellanos arrived in Chicago at the trade deadline, and brought some fireworks with him as he ignited their lineup for the remainder of the season. Nico Hoerner was called up at the end of the year and gave Cubs fans a taste of the future. Kyle Schwarber quietly put up hug offensive number, and Yu Darvish returned to form in the second half. What should the Cubs do this off-season to catch up to the Cardinals and Brewers? All this on today's episode.

A lot of people picked the Phillies to win the NL East before the season began. It made some sense, as they had just acquired guys like Harper, Realmuto, Segura, and McCutchen. The Phillies finished the season at .500, and showed that they had major flaws in their pitching staff, all while some key hitters under-performed. The Phillies have already shaken things up by bringing in a new manager, but what else do they need? All this on today's episode.

Very few people would've expected guys like Lance Lynn and Mike Minor to pitch like front-line aces this year, but that's what they did. Hunter Pence also broke out and was an All-Star again out of nowhere, at the age of 36. Joey Gallo is a beast and Nick Solak is here to stay. The Rangers had a lot of new developments and surprises in 2019. All this (and more) on today's episode.

As a top prospect in the Twins organization, Nick Gordon is the son of former All-Star reliever Tom Gordon and the brother of Dee Gordon. Nick takes after them and is known as Flash G. Nick tells us what it's like growing up with baseball bloodlines. What was it like getting attention from scouts/coaches at such a young age? Which current big-leaguer and former summer ball teammate simply always raked? Off the field, Nick's musical talent provides a great outlet for him to have fun and express himself. He's dropped some hot singles lately and has more on the way. All this (and more) on today's episode.
