We know it's coming at some point in the future so, this week the BFAN team try and get ahead of it by creating their own MLB expansion team. Part 1 of the series looks into where the team should be located and what the team namew should be.
The team then also decides which players from the 30 MLB team should be protected from this expansion draft,with just 3 players being protected by each of them.
Be prepared for some utterly bonkers ideas and to try and come up with some of your own.

The Bat Flips boys are back to talk about the WBC, this is alittle mini guide to the rules, the pools and the players we will be seeing over the course of the tournament.
Russell and Gav you the lowdown on the pitching limits, roster limitations and the designated pitcher pool so you can master like Drew Spencer and his team did in Regensburg.

Russell, Darius, Ben and Gav continue their review of the offseason but this time for the National League teams. Giving each team a grade based on the traditional 80-20 baseball grading scale.

GB Baseball Head Coach Drew Spencer joins John to look back on his squad's historic qualification for the 2023 World Baseball Classic in Regensburg last Autumn, and ahead to the big dance in March. They get into how a programme like GB builds a roster, how they planned for every pitch in Germany and even how Drew *really* felt as a Bay Area boy facing off against Bruce Bochy.

This one really whets the appetite for the tournament.
