It's the final week of the MLB regular season and Producer Evan and Liam 'Skiff' Skiffington are ready to define who are heading into the postseason at their Top 10 teams.

There is no better person to examine how Major League Baseball front offices have evolved than J.P. Ricciardi. From living life with the Moneyball A's, to running the Blue Jays as their general manager, to working for the big market Mets, and now being part of the San Francisco Giants way of doing things, Ricciardi has seen a lot ... and has a lot of opinions. J.P. joins Bradfo and NBC Sports' John Tomase to analyze where things have gone wrong, where things have gone right and how front offices can get the absolute best out of the product on the field. If you want to get an raw view of today's front office landscapes, this is the podcast for you.

Bradfo catches up with Martinez, who witnessed the entirety of both years, to get the Los Angeles' slugger's unique perspective.

Bradfo sits down with all three to get their unique perspective when it comes to viewing exactly what awaits in the wild world of the MLB postseason.

Ryan Brasier has pitched in 16 postseason games, a number that is going to be increasing thanks to his presence on the National League West champion Dodgers. Bradfo reunited with Brasier once again to talk about what postseason newbies should expect when October roles around, reflecting on some of his more memorable experiences in the playoffs (such as telling Gary Sanchez to get back in the batter's box in 2018). The duo also discusses Brasier's continued resurgence, which has him pitching some of the highest leverage innings Los Angeles has to offer.
