In our third episode of Season 2, we will discuss a subject that can be considered taboo: Steroids. It’s time to address this issue, especially with the recent Hall of Fame candidates back in the spotlight. Alright, let’s dive in!

Steroids... It's often seen as a dirty secret in sports, right? However, it's been 30 years since the fallout from this issue. We now have fans who were born long after this era and who may not know much about it. In this episode, we will revisit and reexamine this significant time in baseball history. So, when was this era? I would say it spans from 1991 to 2003. Why these specific dates? We could consider 1985 to 1993 as the "Pre-Steroids Era" and 1994 to 2004 as the "Steroids Era." 

Steroids were banned in Major League Baseball (MLB) in 1991, but testing for their use did not begin until 2004. During this time, MLB turned a blind eye to the situation as attendance and interest in the game soared due to the surge in offensive performance. After all, fans love home runs.

In the 2nd Episode of Season 2, we want to take a moment to reflect on our first season. We thoroughly enjoyed presenting each episode and hope that if you're returning for Season 2, you’ll continue to support us. This year, we aim to expand and grow our little podcast, so please share it with your baseball friends who enjoy discussing the game. 

Season One of the podcast became a labor of love. We worked hard to define our identity, and it wasn’t always easy. We faced some initial technical difficulties with microphone clarity and made a few rookie mistakes along the way. 

And so we Began…

Managers in Question

Derek Shelton, Pittsburgh Pirates

Derek Shelton signed a contract extension with the Pirates last year, but the terms were undisclosed. It looked like Pittsburgh was a legitimate wild-card threat earlier in the season.  However, I was disappointed with the Pirates' collapse in the second half of the season. They were an exciting team, but their offense ranked near the bottom in most categories. This is not a good sign as a young team that finished second in the league with over 1,500 strikeouts. The team needs some veteran leadership. Who is the leader of this team? Is it Bryan Reynolds or Oneil Cruz? Unfortunately, they don't make enough contact and struggle to stay competitive in games. Derek Shelton? BEING WATCHED

In our 20th episode, we present, “FREE AGENTS” and the Free Agency Period. For those who are new here, thank you for joining us! We hope you enjoy the show.

Free Agency - What is it?
A Major League Baseball (MLB) player can become a free agent in a few ways:

Six years of service time
A player becomes a free agent with at least six years of service time in the MLB. 

Be released before reaching six years 
A player can become a free agent if released from their organization before reaching six years of service time. 

Be a non-tender free agent 
A player can become a non-tender free agent if they have less than six years of service time, but their team doesn't offer them a contract or salary arbitration by the tender deadline. 

Sign as a 10-year free agent from Japan 
A player can become a free agent if signed with an MLB team as a 10-year free agent from Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).
