We kick off today’s episode with some pain on the football side, discussing heartbreaking losses for our respective teams, the Chicago Bears and the Miami Hurricanes, plus a quick recap of Luis’s trip to Detroit over the weekend.

Then we dive into the baseball. We open with the blockbuster news of Bo Bichette signing a 3-year, $126M deal with the New York Mets, discussing what it means for the Mets’ lineup, how it changes their offseason priorities, and what else they still need to address. We also look at the flip side for the Blue Jays, who have quietly missed out on a number of big free agents this winter. From there, we talk about Philadelphia’s immediate landing spot with J.T. Realmuto after missing out on Bichette and whether things could get awkward in Philly next season.

We then shift to Cooperstown, celebrating the two newest Hall of Famers, Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones, reflecting on their careers and touching on some of the other notable Hall of Fame voting results.

We wrap things up with a lightning round of topics from around MLB, including Ha-Seong Kim's unfortunate injury, Elly De La Cruz rejecting an extension offer from the Reds, the looming MLB lockout, what fans actually care about if it happens, and how the lockout has impacted the trade market this winter.
