What if everything you thought you knew about baseball’s integrity was just an illusion? Would you trust what you see on the field, or suspect something more beneath the surface? Suddenly, the line between game and scandal feels razor-thin.

In the latest episode of The Fourteen Twenty Sports Bar Podcast, I tackle the growing MLB betting scandal and its potential to shake the very core of the sport. From multi-million-dollar player contracts at risk for a few thousand dollars, to how prop bets can so easily threaten the purity of the game, it’s clear this issue is deeper than most imagine.

I break down not only the specifics behind recent suspensions and the league’s response, but also what all this means for fans, the future of betting in sports, and the game’s reputation. Whether you’re a baseball purist or just curious about the business behind sports, this episode will have you questioning everything.

On today’s episode, we tackled the “Hall of Sentimentality” in sports—debating whether Hall of Fame induction should be about numbers, legacy, or pure nostalgia. I broke down why legends like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Don Mattingly are getting another shot at Cooperstown and questioned if baseball’s sentimental streak is watering down greatness or righting old wrongs. Plus, we dove into the goaltending crisis in the NHL and kicked off a brand new “what if” segment—starting with, what if Derek Jeter never became a Yankee? If you love hot takes and fresh perspectives on the biggest stories in sports, this episode’s for you!

In this episode, host Brent Radlinsky pulls up a stool at the bar and delivers an unfiltered take on the current state of NHL hockey. From lamenting the lack of true rivalries and the expansion of the league to 32 (and possibly more) teams, to critiquing the quality of competition and the loss of genuine emotion in today’s game, Brent questions whether the NHL is suffering from a diluted product. So sit back, grab a few beers and let's get into 'er!
