Welcome back to The Baseball Insiders Prospects Show with Adam Weinrib & FanSided’s Eric Cole. It’s Rule 5 protection week: who made 40-man rosters, who didn’t, and which unprotected names are most likely to get snatched at the Winter Meetings? We break down why relievers with upper-minors swing-and-miss stuff rule the day, the annual Yankees bullpen squeeze, a few eyebrow-raising protection calls, and the “don’t overreact” top-10s who probably won’t be drafted.

We also hit Pirates buzz about a 19-year-old phenom fast-track, service-time reality versus PR, and a late-night move involving a once-elite pitching prospect that raised medical red flags.

The offseason just got spicy — the Orioles and Angels pulled off a surprise trade sending Grayson Rodriguez to Anaheim for Taylor Ward. Adam Weinrib and Robert Murray break down how it happened, who “won” the deal, and what it means for both rotations heading into 2026.

They also react to the Qualifying Offer fallout, with Gleyber Torres, Brandon Woodruff, Shota Imanaga, and Trent Grisham all returning to their clubs. What’s next for the Brewers and Freddy Peralta, and how do the Yankees balance Cody Bellinger’s pursuit after Grisham’s surprise return?

Plus: Jeff Passan reports the Pirates were in on Josh Naylor and are now calling about Schwarber — could Pittsburgh actually shop at the top of the market this winter?

The World Series has reached peak insanity — the Dodgers and Blue Jays went 18 innings in Game 3, breaking records and our brains in the process. Adam Weinrib and Robert Murray react to the chaos, from Bo Bichette’s wild baserunning blunder to the Dodgers’ unstoppable bullpen led by yet another Will Klein.

The crew also dives into the Orioles hiring Craig Albernaz as manager, what that means for Baltimore’s direction, and how front-office poaching could affect Stephen Vogt and the Guardians’ staff. Plus: updates on open managerial searches (Padres, Twins, Nationals, Braves, Rockies) and the surprising departure of Antoan Richardson from the Mets.
