Adam Weinrib is joined by guest host Sam Phalen (filling in for Robert Murray) to break down the biggest MLB storylines as we enter the stretch run of the season:

Which contenders made the most of their roster shuffles before September?

The September call-ups to watch: Tong, Nolan McLean, Basallo, and more.

Which veterans on new teams (Walker Buehler to PHI, Andrew Heaney to LAD, IKF to TOR, Carlos Santana to CHC) could actually make an impact?

Are the AL & NL playoff fields locked in — or still vulnerable?

Which non-contenders could play spoiler down the stretch?

September is here — and so are the surprise call-ups. On this week’s Prospect Show, Adam Weinrib and Eric Cole dive into the names you didn’t expect to see this soon and what their impact could be down the stretch:

⚾ Sal Stewart — did the Reds wait too long to push the button, or can he still move the needle?

⚾ Carter Jensen — a boost for a team only a handful of games out of a Wild Card spot.

⚾ Harry Ford — how much playing time will the Mariners give him as they fend off the Royals, Guardians, and Rangers?

⚾ Jonah Tong & Nolan McLean — two arms changing the look of the Mets’ rotation, but is it enough to raise their ceiling?

Join Adam and Eric as they break down what these call-ups mean for the playoff picture — and for the future.

Baseball Insiders is back with Robert Murray and Adam Weinrib to break down a jam-packed week around the league:

⚾ Jonah Tong has been called up by the New York Mets, joining Nolan McLean in a reshaped rotation — can this steady the ship for September?

⚾ More September call-up buzz — who else is ready to debut?

⚾ Andrew Heaney DFA’d after hitting his innings bonus — why the move made sense for the Pittsburgh Pirates but also highlights deadline regrets.

⚾ Waiver wire roulette: which late-season pickups could actually swing the playoff race?

⚾ The 2026 MLB schedule is out — with the Yankees-Giants Opening Night (March 25), a super early Opening Day (March 26), Phillies-Twins in the Field of Dreams Game, and the A’s playing six home games in Las Vegas.

Robert and Adam give their takes on what’s real, what’s noise, and what it all means for the stretch run.

The calendar is about to flip to September — which means call-up season is almost here. Could the Yankees make room for Spencer Jones? Is Andrew Painter ready to impact Philly’s rotation? And which young bats — from Payton Tolle to Bryce Eldridge to Kevin McGonigle — might surprise us?

Plus: “pie-in-the-sky” call-ups we’d love to see, even if they’re unlikely this year.

We’ll also break down the latest risers and fallers from last week’s prospect action, including Charlie Condon, Karson Milbrandt, Aidan Miller, Josue De Paula, Luis Pena, and Trey Yesavage.

Co-hosts Adam Weinrib and Eric break it all down live, with analysis, predictions, and a few bold takes on the future of MLB’s top prospects.

The Twins sold off at the deadline… to clear the way for a sale… that might not even happen now? Yeah, we’re confused too. Robert Murray and Adam Weinrib try to make sense of one of the strangest post-deadline twists in recent memory.

Meanwhile, the Guardians have clawed their way from 15.5 games back in July to just four back in the AL Central — with a negative run differential and after trading Shane Bieber. How are they doing it, and what’s the buzz around the league?

The guys also dive into the Astros’ bullpen dilemma after Josh Hader’s injury, the possibility of more contract extensions following Roman Anthony’s deal, and whether the Eugenio Suárez trade could haunt Seattle. Plus: waiver wire watch as August rolls on.

MLB Pipeline just dropped its brand-new Top 100 list — and the 2025 MLB Draft class has officially arrived. We break down where this year’s top picks land, from Holliday and Willits going back-to-back at 17 and 18 to Kade’s debut at 22. Who surprised us? Who did we expect to rank higher? And which big-time movers made the biggest jump up the board?

Plus: Could Travis Bazzana get the call for a playoff push? We hit the biggest risers (Thomas White, Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz, Abimelec Ortiz) and the biggest fallers (JJ Wetherholt, Max Clark, Payton Tolle) from the past week.

Co-hosts Adam Weinrib and Eric break it all down live, with analysis, predictions, and a few bold takes on the future of MLB’s top prospects.

The MLB Trade Deadline is officially behind us… but is the buyer’s remorse already setting in? In this episode of Baseball Insiders, Robert Murray and Adam Weinrib are back from The National Card Convention and ready to break down what’s changed just five days post-deadline. One contending team has already demoted a trade acquisition. Another looks like it’s slipping out of the playoff picture entirely. Did anyone overpay? Were top prospects dealt for short-term gains that won’t pan out?

Plus: the NL Wild Card race is tightening, with the Reds trying to sneak in, and questions looming about whether the Yankees can hold on. The guys also dig into looming free agency storylines — including Bo Bichette’s rising stock, Kyle Schwarber’s MVP-caliber surge, and what kind of deal Devin Williams might (or might not) get after a rocky stretch.
