Grace is back with some news to discuss. The Mets made a trade, the Juan Soto sweepstakes carries on, and a bevy of other pieces of minor news come together for what will hopefully be the last boring offseason update for a bit.

Next, Grace gets into the majority fo baseball awards that have been swirling the last few days. Rookie of the Year, Manager of the Year, and the Cy Young Award winners have all been announced, as well as the Hall of Fame ballot being released, so there's a lot to discuss.

Finally, Grace has a movie minute that a bit off the beaten path but lovely and heartbreaking all the same, with some wonderful stop-motion animation to boot.
