  • Episode 80 - The CBA has been Disbanded!
    Nov 24 2021

    Holy big extensions Batman! Wander Franco and Jose Berríos signed monster extensions in the two weeks since we've met last.

    Award season is here, which is way better than the holiday season. Predictably, Shohei took home AL MVP and Robbie Ray took home the AL Cy Young, setting him up for a big payday.

    The CBA is expiring in a week. What does this mean for free agency, arbitration, and the start of the new season?

    It's bracket time. This week we have Air Bud, Patrick Swayze, Jackie Moon, and more! Who is moving on and who is going home?

    And we want more pictures of Spider-Man!
