Locked On MLB - Daily Podcast On Major League Baseball

Colorado had a rocky year in 2022. Randel Grichuk and company could not hit homers at the right clip and Bud Black's pitching staff could not do the trick.

But losing 90 games did not deter Locked on Rockies host Paul Holden from finding good memories of the squad and having hope for the immediate future.

Beloved Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry died on Thursday at age 84. The first pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in the AL and NL, Perry won over 300 games and was a 5 time All Star who threw a no hitter.

He was also a notorious spit ball thrower and gleefully told stories in his retirement about how he would throw an illegal pitch.

The act of cheating is also on the minds of baseball fans as the Hall of Fame Veterans Committee will decide the Cooperstown fate of Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Rafael Palmeiro.

Meanwhile the Astros have the cloud of cheating still hanging over their heads even though there is almost a total turnover from the 2017 squad.

Why do some cheaters become beloved and others can never find forgiveness?

The Yankees seem eager to up their offers to Aaron Judge just as some of the California teams are calling.

Meanwhile a previous Yankee captain, Don Mattingly, is heading to Toronto as a bench coach. No Yankee star has a more frustrating Yankee narrative than Mattingly, but there are other hard luck Yankee cases.

Justin Verlander might be moving on from the Astros. It seems strange that they would part ways when everything is going so well.

He could go to one of the huge media markets, New York and Los Angeles, and all four teams there could use him.
