What is this sorcery? Episode 36 of Opposite Field has been recorded and uploaded on the same day! The discussion centers around bullpen additions, or lack thereof in the Dodgers' case, the Benintendi trade, and more until we got a late call to the bullpen from guest contributor Greg so we could pick his brain on all of the comings and goings of the offseason since we last spoke. Enjoy this one-part two-parter today while staring at this majestic mid-sprint photo of Phil Coke!

Trevor Bauer has chosen. Marcell Ozuna has as well. We now know what Colorado "got" for Nolan Arenado. There are very few questions left to answer when it comes to this offseason so now we wait. In the meantime, we try to come up with a way to salvage the Mets' offseason and who may be able to legitimately contend entering 2021. Episode 35 is live!

We bitched and moaned about how slow the baseball offseason news cycle was going but now that it is moving we always feel one step behind. As soon as one podcast goes up it seems like another big name is coming off the free agency ledger or a big name is traded. JT Realmuto was signed less than 12 hours after our last recording and Nolan Arenado was swapped during this one! Listen to Episode 34 today before we miss even more!

It was about time that baseball's frigid offseason heated up a bit. There were trades, big signings, continuing firesales, and rumors swirling through the old mill like hurricane gusts. The Opposite Field boys talk about what this week's worth of moves will mean for free agents still left on the market as well as how certain teams may operate the rest of these next couple of months heading into Spring Training. Episode 33 is live!

As expected, the Lindor trade has begun to stir the pot on the MLB Hot Stove! LeMahieu and Hendriks are off the board and many more are in the process of joining them. We talk about those moves and how they will help their clubs and the moves that may come in response. Arbitration, international signings, and the latest rumors are also in play on Episode 32 of Opposite Field!

Episode 31 is all about the seismic trade between the New York Mets and the Cleveland Indians. We have four (count 'em FOUR) people in the house for this one as we go on about what effects this deal will have on both clubs as well as where it places them in their respective division's pecking orders. If you make it to the end on this one you are either a true Mets fan or you passed out with the track running listening to Bindner and Colin trade barbs and making a wager! Enjoy the latest Opposite Field! (EDITOR'S NOTE: WE BARELY TOUCHED ON KRIS BRYANT AND OH BOY THE METSIES AIN'T DONE)

It is the first podcast of the New Year and we're talking the(uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh) New York Yankees! A familiar voice returns all the way from Episode 1 of Opposite Field as Greg gives his views on what the Evil Empire needs to do this offseason to rebuild a top-heavy pitching staff in both the rotation and bullpen. He also tries to plan for a world without batting champion DJ LeMahieu and what the club can do to make it work. Episode 30 is live!

We were hoping to get this one up before the Padres had time to make any more earth-shattering moves and luckily Episode 29 made it to air! After trading half of their Top 30 prospects from 2020, the Fathers have made it abundantly clear they don't plan on playing second fiddle to the defending World Series champs. How do you rate their moves and the direction the club is taking? Catch our takes on the latest edition of Opposite Field!

Don't say the Opposite Field boys didn't get you anything for Christmas! After pretty much teasing this episode since we began this podcast, the day has finally arrived that Colin delivered his State of the Sox on the podcast. Who needs to go, arrive, step up, or bounce back in 2021? Rip off that wrapping paper with reckless abandon and listen to Episode 28 of Opposite Field!

We all know that the basketball card market has been sheer lunacy since the pandemic hit with grading hitting unprecedented levels and wax shooting up to the point where common collectors can't stick around. But in the past ten days, we've seen something that nobody, including the Cardboard Comrades, could have reasonably foreseen. Preseason basketball affecting card prices is a different kind of crazy! Matt & Trevor talk THT, KZ, and other players who've seen their cards quintuple in value because of PRESEASON contests and try to put into perspective how wild that truly is and also how potentially dangerous it is to an already volatile marketplace.
