Summary

The MLB Winter Meetings are officially here and we’re poised for a BIG week in the baseball offseason. We’re breaking down a few stories including the Braves acquiring Jarred Kelenic, Tyler Glasnow trade rumors, and Cody Bellinger’s value versus his asking price. We also hit on Shohei Ohtani rumors with Max. Jared set the internet on fire with his Babe Ruth tweet which leads to a discussion on NBA defensive strategy over the eras. The Brewers locked up Jackson Chourio long-term and we’re discussing the terms of his extension. We touch on Juan Soto trade rumors and show love to Jim Leyland for his admittance into the HOF. We also have Jayhay’s MVP segment where he breaks down the 2002 MVP results, and we round out the episode with our San Fransisco Giants Mt. Rushmore segment.
