On this week's episode, the boys talk about two more big shortstop names who are off the board. Carlos Correa and Xander Bogaerts are with new teams. Two shortstops and two different contracts. While there are many similarities between the players and money per year, these contracts are anything but the same. The boys dive in and give their thoughts. After losing Bogaerts, the Red Sox pulled the trigger too soon to grab Japanese outfielder Masataka Yoshida. Was five-years, $90 million too much for the NPB star, turned MLB-unproven player? The biggest trade of the offseason took place earlier this week between the Atlanta Braves, Milwaukee Brewers and Oakland A's. The boys discuss who won the deals and who lost and how it will affect each club going forward. Afterwards, the boys do part two of GM for a Day. This time they each pick one bad team and try to make them better. They round out the show with Collection Corner.

After their bashing of the Pirates last week, recent news broke out of Pittsburgh. Regardless of being offered a hefty new deal, Bryan Reynolds wants out. Shock. The first-ever MLB Draft Lottery took place on Tuesday, December 6th. The Pirates, Nationals and Tigers sit atop the draft. The boys talk about lottery night and early hints at what to expect in the 2023 draft. It's official. Fred 'Crime Dog' McGriff is in the Hall of Fame! The boys discuss his so-so stats and accolades that made him eligible, thus debating if whether his entry was more of a statement to the cheaters (Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, etc.) than it was a shoo-in nod for Crime Dog. Afterward, the boys decide to be a General Manager for a day and pick a team each and try to fix them to see how they would fair in 2023.

Kicking off this week's episode, the boys talk about Jose Abreu signing with the Houston Astros. It's a match made in heaven for both parties. On the other side of the spectrum, the Pittsburgh Pirates did what they always do and signed bargain player Carlos Santana as their first big offseason move. This particular move leads to a deeper conversation about how pitiful the organization is and how does GM Ben Cherington guide this sinking ship? News broke earlier today that the Yankees gave their first offer of the offseason to Aaron Judge-- 8-years, $300 Million. The boys give their thoughts on the offer and weigh the good and the bad. Rounding out headlines, they have to talk about a little-known (in the US) pitcher from Japan, Kodai Senga. Verlander, DeGrom and Rodon might be the biggest pitching names on the market, but Senga could very well be the best one. His ghost forkball is reason enough to get excited about the NPB phenom. At 30 years old, he's looking to sign with his first major league team. Who could it be? Who would be the best fit? Afterward, the boys dive into their Free Agent Prediction Show by naming the top players at each position and predict who they will sign with. They round out the show with Collection Corner. This is a jam-packed show that you can't miss!

In this week's episode, the boys kick things off discussing early transactions so far this offseason. Kyle Lewis and Gio Urshela and Tyler Anderson have new homes, while Anthony Rizzo settles back into the Bronx. Aaron Judge and Justin Verlander are headliners in this year's free agent class. What would a Giants lineup look like with Judge in it? What would the Mets rotation look like with Verlander in it? The boys have some fun strategizing. Blue Jays ace Alek Manoah came out this past week calling out Gerrit Cole as one of the worst cheaters in MLB history. The boys believe this kind of trash talk not only enhances the Yankees-Blue Jays rivalry in the AL East, but is also good for baseball. It brings fire to the league, which is badly needed. Afterwards, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, the boys list their top-five things they are most thankful for about this past MLB season. They then round out the show with Collection Corner.
