David, Justin and James examine why several pitchers are thriving early with their new teams following the trade deadline. The trio believes the Mariners can continue to win, and they look at other teams in the wild card hunt who could go on an extended run. Coney assesses where Luis Severino is for the Yankees, and why Michael King transitioning into a starter makes sense.

With the expanded playoff format, David, Justin and James wonder whether the trade deadline needs to be extended by two weeks. The hosts size up the Rays chances without Shane McClanahan, the Dodgers chances with an improving Julio Urias, and which division race intrigues them more: the AL West or NL Central? We’ve reached the point where we wonder whether the Yankees offense can pick up New York’s starting rotation. Former catcher Rick Cerone joins the show!

After the trade deadline, all the focus is on the AL West race in Texas. David believes Max Scherzer will make the biggest impact for his new team, the Rangers. James and Justin believes it will be Justin Verlander for the Astros.

David, Justin and James tackle some big topics with a week before the trade deadline. Have we seen the Rays at their low point, and what deals can they swing to put them over the top? The hosts do their weekly check-in on the Shohei Ohtani situation in Anaheim, and stress the fact that if the Angels decide to hold on to Ohtani, they need to be big buyers at the deadline. What did front offices learn from the Josh Hader trade last summer? Also, how are the best teams in baseball approaching the deadline? Coney believes the Yankees addition of Andy Pettitte to their staff is another example of teams trying to copy the Braves blend of real experience and new information.

David, Justin and James go all in on Shohei Ohtani! Will he break Aaron Judge’s AL home run record? How do the Angels separate business from baseball with Ohtani’s impending free agency and the trade deadline two weeks away? Do east coast teams need to trade for Ohtani to entice him to sign during free agency? Also, which clubs make sense for pitchers on teams already waiving the white flag?

David, Justin and James begin the show by showering some love toward the A’s as they run through their best stretch of baseball this season. The crew touches on the 156 pitch performance by Stanford’s Quinn Mathews in the NCAA Super Regional. The consensus? Not a good look by Stanford! With roughly a month to go until the All Star Game, who is worthy to start the game for both leagues? The hosts then dive into the Marlins rotation success, which rookie pitchers to pay more attention to, Aaron Nola’s baseball requests, and who could possibly be sellers out of the under-performing teams in the National League.

David, Justin and James react to Aaron Judge going on the IL again.

David, Justin and James react to the news that Aaron Judge agreed to re-sign with the Yankees for nine years and $360 million. The crew feels this wraps up a masterful year of negotiating tactics by Judge and his advisors. They also give credit to the Yankees for bringing Judge back, but feel this is a moment where the organization has a chance to go even further and add another blue-chip talent like Carlos Rodon. The hosts also praise the Padres for, despite not coming away with Judge or Trea Turner, operating like a financial power within the game when they are in the bottom third in MLB in market size.

David, James and Justin react to the news of the Mets pivoting from Jacob deGrom to Justin Verlander. The hosts discuss why deGrom was the right move to make for Texas, what it will now take for Aaron Judge to make a decision, and how the Phillies fully made sense for Trea Turner. MLB Network analyst and former Rockies GM Dan O’Dowd joined the crew from the Winter Meetings to discuss the big signings that have already transpired and what could happen next as it pertains to Judge and Carlos Rodon.

David, James and Justin discuss whether any big business could take place this week as teams prepare for the Winter Meetings. David thinks we should focus more on potential trades over the next several days rather than free agent signings. The crew discusses the White Sox signing of Mike Clevinger, and how that could end up being a steal for Chicago. As far as the starting pitchers at the top of the free agent class go, the hosts wonder whether Carlos Rodon signs before Justin Verlander and Jacob deGrom. The crew is split over whether they’d rather have Verlander or deGrom if money wasn’t an issue. They also discuss how the shortstop market is tied directly to Aaron Judge. More chatter on the HOF vote coming up this weekend, Astros playoff shares, Bo Jackson and James’ debut article in Baseball Prospectus!

David provides insight from a discussion he had with Houston Astros owner Jim Crane in regards to the team’s decision to move away from GM James Click. Both Coney and Justin wonder how much will it take for Justin Verlander to come pitch for your team in 2023. David believes the Yankees could be in play again. Justin believes the Mets would be better served with Verlander on a short-term deal over re-signing Jacob deGrom. Producer (and noted Aaron Judge stan) Dan Rourke joins the discussion as Aaron Judge’s free agency takes center stage. As the Giants are rumored to be in pursuit of the slugger, what would David tell Judge about signing with his hometown team? How could the Yankees address other areas with money in the event Judge signs elsewhere? What about if he stays? David and Justin also discuss the important Rule 5 and non-tender deadlines that team’s are making this week that could open the floodgates to off-season trades and signings.

Ok, onto the off-season! How will the upcoming rule changes affect free agency? The crew also touches on the Yankee press conference with Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman from last week. They think Edwin Diaz’s new contract must signify the start of a big off-season for the Mets. Also, an important look at rule changes that should be coming after 2023.

David, Justin and James believe the more talented team in the Astros has found a grip on this World Series. David feels Justin Verlander delivered a master class in how to pitch around certain hitters in Game 5 on the way to picking up his first career World Series win. The crew also discusses Christian Javier’s role in a potential Game 7, and examines how Javier’s “invisa-ball” has become one of the best pound-for-pound pitches in MLB. The crew talks about the two numbers fans should watch for when Zack Wheeler starts Game 6 on Saturday.

David, Justin and James begin by commenting on the SNY report that stated the Yankees clubhouse and organization felt crushed by the negativity from the fan base during the ALCS. Their message: don’t give them something to boo over. On to the World Series! Is there any additional strategy to having the Phillies start Aaron Nola in Game 1? How much do Nola and Justin Verlander have to prove in the opening game? We’ll see an all-time matchup in Verlander vs. Bryce Harper; who needs to set the tone for the series more? Will the Astros pitching staff go after Harper? Do the Astros have the bullpen personnel to get Philly’s big lefty bats out? Are two starters and four relievers enough for the Phils in this series? Length from Nola and Zack Wheeler will be paramount, win or lose. Plus, what an 11-0 postseason would mean for the Astros.

David, Justin and James recap where the Yankees fell short in the ALCS, and how natural it feels to second-guess every single move in the wake of the team losing. The crew believes that while pitching decisions could have been questioned, the offense was the culprit. Justin wonders how the Astros make the postseason not look like a crapshoot. They all agree something was off with how the Yankees operated the shortstop position this year, which didn’t do Isiah Kiner-Falefa any favors. The off-season will be a domino effect with Aaron Judge’s free agency. In the NLCS, the crew discusses the Padres decision to leave Josh Hader in the bullpen and not face Bryce Harper in the eighth inning of Game 5. They also praise Dave Dombrowski and explain why all other organizations can take something away from his approach.

David, Justin and James look back to the first two ALCS games in Houston and look ahead to Game 3 in New York on Saturday. The crew thinks too little credit was being given to the top two Astros pitchers as to why the Yankees offense struggled, but now, the Yankees have their top two pitchers going in Games 3 and 4. David didn’t have a big issue with the way the Yankees handled their pitching staff in Game 1, and says the pitching approach to Jeremy Peña is the biggest key moving forward. The crew discusses what allows Justin Verlander, at age 39, to reach cruise control. They focus on the NLCS as the series shifts to Philly, and how exciting it is to have stars excelling. David believes the Padres have figured out how to deploy Josh Hader, and it’s making a huge difference at the right time.

David, Justin and James recap the Yankees ALDS victory over the Guardians, how pitching and home runs helped guide them to the ALCS and the performances from Gerrit Cole and Nestor Cortes. The crew feels Clay Holmes answered the most questions in the ALDS. They preview the ALCS between New York and Houston, examine how to pitch to Yordan Alvarez and Aaron Judge, and who could be added to the Yankees roster. The crew reflects on why the Dodgers and Braves fell short, highlighted how superstars have filled up the NLCS between the Padres and Phillies and identify who on the Philly pitching staff could step up in support of Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola. David feels Manny Machado is the hitter that pitchers need to be most careful of.

David, Justin and James examine what it takes for teams to get through the “dog days.” David believes the Yankees calling up young players from AAA may help the struggling veterans. The crew recaps Verlander/Cease from Tuesday night, looks ahead to whether this next week will be “the week” for the White Sox, and handicaps the race in the AL Central. Do the Dodgers have enough starting pitching depth for the playoffs? Why can’t more teams operate like the Braves? Do the Giants and Red Sox still have a chance?
