Episode 437: Major changes to the Major League Baseball draft system could be on the horizon with the new CBA.

The league is deciding whether to include new draft eligibility rules that would cut out all high school players from being drafted. Jared, Dallas, Jay Hay, and Tyler break down the pros and cons of such a radical change, the ramifications it would have across Minor League Baseball, and the substantial boost college baseball would receive if it happens.

The guys dive deep into the draft with one of the best interviews in Baseball is Dead history. Projected top-5 pick Jackson Flora joins the show for a great conversation about his draft process, his favorite team growing up, and an all-time answer to the show’s patented final question for guests.

The crew also discusses Tarik Skubal’s return from injury and what his trade sweepstakes look like with just a few weeks left before the deadline. They also break down the most polarizing player in baseball right now: Dalton Rushing.

Dive deep with Baseball is Dead and get ready for another loaded weekend of baseball action.

Episode 436: Baseball is Dead is Down One Man. No, it’s not because our guy Jared Carrabis ate 106 off his home, Saugus tough. Buster Posey feels like he just got rocked after another day of Giants stories dominating baseball. Posey’s comments on the Pride Night fiasco have left Giants fans wanting more, just like the team’s performance on the field. Jay Hay makes the case again for the Giants being forced to trade their ace Logan Webb, and the guys react to Rafael Devers’ comments on his pinch-running incident.

The Phillies lit up the Nationals in the 9th inning and are now just 5.5 games back of the first-place Atlanta Braves. The crew discusses the possibility of Philly storming back in the NL East race. Pete Crow-Armstrong’s hot streak continues, but so do the injuries across the Chicago Cubs’ starting rotation. With two starters landing on the IL, everyone’s wondering what the Cubs’ next pitching move will be.

And lastly, the guys show some love to players across the league for their recent performances, and Jay Hay delivers some award-winning nugs!

Episode 435:  MLB Draft season is fast approaching! Our tribal chief, Jared, is away at the MLB Draft Combine, which allows Dallas, Tyler, and Jay Hay to get weird at the start of the week!

Rafael Devers finds himself in the news once again for the wrong reasons. This time, it features him attempting to wave off a pinch runner and send him back to the dugout in the 9th inning. The guys react to the potential fallout of another public incident for Devers and the Giants organization.

Bryce Harper hit for his own “Br-cycle” this week and added another milestone to his potential Hall of Fame career. The conversation on Harper leads the guys to discuss which active player most needs a World Series ring to cement their legacy. 

And lastly, Byron Buxton has said he does not want to be traded from the Minnesota Twins. The crew reacts to the request and the lose-lose situation small-market superstars find themselves in during the social media era.

Episode 434: The dawn of a new era has arrived.

Baseball Is Dead Family Feud has leveled up with the addition of a rotating fourth player. Each Thursday, a new guest will join the mix to complete a 2-vs-2 round. Teammates will be bonded for life… and hearts will be broken forever.

Before the feud begins, the guys break down the major change Major League Baseball made to the Home Run Derby rules — the clock is gone, replaced by a set number of swings. The crew shares their thoughts on the new format, along with the official start of award season in Casa de Carrabis.

Shohei Ohtani’s “struggles” on the mound have the guys intrigued as he continues his historic chase for both the MVP and Cy Young in what’s shaping up to be one of the greatest National League Cy Young races in history.

Finally, Bruce Meyer joins Baseball Is Dead to break down the latest in MLB labor negotiations. Will there be a strike? Will games be missed? And is a salary cap actually coming to baseball?

Episode 433: All-Star season is officially here! The first round of voting has been released, and Dallas has officially begun his campaign for Nick Kurtz to make the All-Star Game. The conversation then shifts to a debate over who the best catcher in baseball is following Drake Baldwin’s return to the Atlanta Braves.

According to recent reporting, the San Francisco Giants are open for business. A disastrous season has forced Buster Posey to try to move the big contracts of Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, and Matt Chapman. The guys break down exactly what it would take to trade those massive deals and who among the three high-dollar players is the real prize.

The Giants remain in the news for all the wrong reasons. Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker all wrote Bible verses on their hats during Pride Night at the stadium, turning a night meant for inclusion into a debate about something much bigger. Lastly, the guys show some love for players who are succeeding around the league on the eve of a landmark edition of Baseball is Dead.

Episode 432: Baseball never rests, and neither do we. Baseball is Dead is back with a full recap of all the weekend series!

Tarik Skubal made his long-awaited return to an MLB mound. The guys break down his first start back and discuss what the future holds for the lefty.

Jacob Misiorowski delivered a masterpiece that left the entire league in awe. He threw a 9-inning, 15-strikeout shutout with a perfect 100 Game Score, putting himself firmly in the driver’s seat for the National League Cy Young. Jay Hay puts the historic start in proper perspective and gives it the praise it deserves.

Jared and Tyler ask Dallas about his final days in Las Vegas with the A’s, plus the record-breaking day the Colorado Rockies had in Sin City. Dallas reacts live to the first round of All-Star Game voting results — and he is not happy with what he sees.

Lastly, the guys host another potential 1-1 pick in this year’s MLB Draft. UCLA star Roch Cholowsky joins the show to talk about the draft season!

Episode 430: Interviews have returned to Baseball Is Dead! Potential first overall draft pick Vahn Lackey joins the show to discuss his upcoming draft day, the MLB Draft Combine, and his desire to stick behind the plate as a catcher in the big leagues.

Braden Montgomery’s debut walk-off home run sent shockwaves through baseball Tuesday night. With an influx of talent making its way to the South Side, Southside Jerry reacts to another White Sox win.

Episode 429: A three-headed monster of Jared, Jay Hay, and Tyler recaps the weekend in baseball. They hit every series and its results, plus some major championship-defining news on the horizon.

Tarik Skubal completed his first rehab start, and his return is imminent. Rumors are heating up that the Cy Young Award winner could be traded, so the guys imagine what he’d look like in the Brewers, Pirates, or even Dodgers playoff rotations. Manny Machado’s postgame comments lit up the stat-nerd community, and Jay Hay and Tyler weigh in. 

The severity of Aaron Judge’s injury has been revealed, and Jared laments how much time the Yankees captain will miss on the IL. As always, we get some hot, fresh, award-winning nugs from a freshly shaven Jay Hay as we roll into a loaded week of baseball.

Episode 428: Feud Friday is here! The highly anticipated return of Jared to the feud ring comes with Tyler at his side. The guys show some love to Cristopher Sánchez for his historic 50 2/3-inning scoreless streak while also taking stock of a loaded NL Cy Young race.

Only one player has both an MVP and Cy Young market on Kalshi, and his name is Shohei Ohtani. Dallas and Jay Hay marvel at the wonder of Ohtani’s two-way play. Paul Skenes and Gerrit Cole both struggle in their recent outings, with Jay Hay getting to watch his Guardians smash three home runs against the Yankees in person.

The crew reacts to MLB insider Jeff Passan’s latest article on what to expect at the trade deadline, leading them to ask: What is the cost of acquiring star left-handed pitcher Tarik Skubal?
