Summary

The World Series is now behind us and Juan Soto's Free Agency has arrived. Mark & Al begin with a nod to Nationals October legend Daniel Hudson, who announced his retirement shortly after the Dodgers won the title, Hudson was warming up in the bullpen when Walker Buehler closed out Game 5. (05:00) Will the Nats be active on the Free Agency market for the first time in awhile? Will it be a Buyer's Market for the non elite players? (14:10) We give an early handicap of the Soto Sweepstakes now that the Yankees season is over. (28:20) Comparing Soto's Free Agency situation to the scene six years ago when Bryce Harper & Manny Machado's signings took longer than anticipated. (33:45) Corbin Burnes is the top pitcher on the market. Will the Nats be in the chase for the righty? (40:15)Trevor Williams and Jacob Barnes are Free Agents? Will they return to Washington? (45:00) November will likely be a bit sleepy and the Winter Meetings are scheduled for December 9th-12th in Dallas. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
