Ball Five: A Baseball Podcast: Recent Episodes
Daniel Lopes
Hello all! We're DJ and Chris Lopes, two brothers that have decided to start a baseball podcast. We're hoping to provide some general coverage of the league as a whole, with some focus on the New York Mets, both of our favorite teams. We hope we can provide you with some entertainment and a great podcast experience!
Welcome back to another episode of Ball Five! Chris and DJ talk about the recent resurgence of the New York Mets, some poor offensive performances from the San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays, and yet another boring City Connect Jersey. They also briefly talk about the Los Angeles Dodgers un-inviting, then re-inviting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to their Pride Night.

They also talk about the market's for the players who haven't signed yet, and wrap it up by remembering some guys.
The title says pretty much everything... DJ and Chris are sad because Jacob deGrom has left the New York Mets, signing a five-year deal with the Texas Rangers. They break down what this means for the Mets, how it could affect free agency, and break down other news, such as Bryan Reynolds requesting a trade and Jose Abreu signing a deal with the Houston Astros.
The gang is back together today to try and review the most recent crop of awards given out in MLB this week, as well as review the recent trades of Teoscar Hernandez, Kyle Lewis, and Gio Urshela.
