Dante may be on vacation, but that can't stop Josh and James from dishing on how Pete Alonso re-upping with the Mets was inevitable. But what does the rest of his career look like after this contract?

Plus, Ha-Seong Kim heads to Florida, Jack Flaherty heads back to the Tigers, and just what is going on with Alex Bregman?

Baseline Baseball returns with a full breakdown of the National Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2025. The guys vent about how Ichiro Suzuki fell just short of 100%, the rare legacy of CC Sabathia, and just how special Billy Wagner actually was as a closer.

Also: Who we can expect to be enshrined in the coming years, plus a look at an upcoming stacked 1st-ballot class down the road. More importantly, Roki Sasaki makes the Dodgers unfair and how Anthony Santander is just another Pete Alonso.

Baseline Baseball remembers Bob Uecker and not just what he meant to his hometown Milwaukee Brewers, but to baseball in general. The guys match the Hall of Famer up with his contemporary Vin Scully, and discuss how broadcasting has become too stiff and serious today.

Plus, Roki Sasaki's eventual California Dream, and how Pete Alonso's Mets departure may not be as imminent as we think.

A new year means a new offseason as Baseline Baseball is back with its first new episode of 2025! Today, the guys spend a lot of time discussing how Corbin Burnes signing with the Diamondbacks changes the landscape of the NL West, the ongoing Padres drama, and how Justin Verlander signing with the Giants officially puts the future Hall of Famer in "compiler" territory.

Plus, why Luis Arraez is actually a terrible fit for the New York Yankees, the Orioles getting older, and how Pete Alonso returning to the Mets seems more and more likely.

Despite all efforts to keep things national, Baseline Baseball is back right on the cusp of yet another Yankees story. Josh, James, and Dante discuss the recent acquisition of Cody Bellinger from the Chicago Cubs and how he fits into the Bronx mix.

Plus, the Orioles' continual lateral moves under a new owner, and what should the Steve Cohen Mets be doing now?

Juan Soto is a New York Met, Kyle Tucker is a Chicago Cub, and James is having himself a rough offseason. Dante seems at peace with Soto's move to Queens, while Josh recaps news from the Winter Meetings in Dallas.

Plus, Max Fried's fit in the Yankees rotation, how the Nestor Cortes trade was inevitable, and did Josh actually break some news??

MLB free agency is in full swing as the Juan Soto sweepstakes continue, but hold up. A Golden At-Bat? The guys have lots of opinions over Rob Manfred's latest gimmicky idea for baseball, and James has some strong words in particular.

Plus: Blake Snell in LA, the Red Sox overpaying Aroldis Chapman, and how the Mets overpaid Frankie Montas even worse.

Baseline Baseball returns to discuss the start of what should be a highly exciting MLB offseason. Josh, James, and Dante dive deep into Hal Steinbrenner understanding the Yankees' assignment re Juan Soto. Similarly, should the rival New York Mets really be making Soto their priority when they're desperately starved for pitching?

Plus, Luis Gil's runaway Rookie of the Year campaign, big news from the business side of the minor leagues, and Hall of Fame ballots.

The results are in as Baseline Baseball dishes on what went wrong and right for the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. Josh, James, and Dante give their notes on how the Yankees can both improve their basic fundamentals and shore up holes on the roster. Plus, do the Yankees or Mets have the edge in signing Juan Soto? Oh, and some tangential basketball talk too.

A Yankees-Dodgers World Series preview needs a special guest. And so Josh, James, and Dante are joined by LA fan extraordinaire Jake Reiner of the famous "The Incline: Dodgers Podcast."

Jake discusses his lifelong Dodgers fandom as well as his family's and offers his own excitements and concerns over this marquee matchup. The four also give their World Series predictions, share superstitions, and also point out how baseball's two biggest markets facing off is quite a good thing.

If you love baseball, especially the Yankees-Dodgers rivalry, this one is for you. And RIP Fernando Valenzuela!
