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.

We open the show with one of the most shocking contracts in MLB history: Kyle Tucker signing a 4-year, $240M deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. We break down what this means for the Dodgers’ chances at a historic three-peat, how a deal like this impacts baseball as a whole with a potential lockout looming, and what went wrong for the teams that came up short, most notably the Mets and Blue Jays. From competitive balance to player leverage, we unpack all the ripple effects of a truly franchise-altering signing.

Then we dive into the rest of the week’s biggest MLB news, including Ranger Suárez signing with the Red Sox, Nolan Arenado being traded to the Diamondbacks, and the Yankees acquiring Ryan Weathers. We discuss how each move reshapes the contenders, the risks and rewards involved, and what it all means as the offseason continues to heat up.

We kick things off with a huge night in Chicago, breaking down an all-time Bears comeback playoff win over the Packers and the Cubs landing a franchise-altering signing with Alex Bregman. From there, we pivot briefly to College Football, talking about Indiana’s rise and the sudden wave of Hoosier fans now that the program is legit.

Then it’s full baseball mode. We dive deep into Bregman’s 5-year, $175M deal with the Cubs - what it means for Chicago, how it impacts Scott Boras and his clients, and which teams came up short, with a special focus on the Boston Red Sox. The Cubs stay in the spotlight as we break down their busy week, including the trade for Edward Cabrera, his injury concerns, and why we love the deal for Peter Bendix and the Marlins.

We hit the rest of the biggest MLB news from around the league, including Cody Bellinger reportedly asking for $37M per year and the Yankees bowing out, the Tarik Skubal arbitration hearing, Max Kepler’s PED suspension, and more.

We wrap things up with a fun crossover segment as William assigns MLB franchise equivalents to the remaining NFL playoff teams, with Luis reacting along the way.
