As we sit a week out from Thanksgiving, we kick things off by giving the holiday the love it deserves - from our favorite dishes on the table to why the day itself doesn’t get enough respect. Then, it’s all baseball.
We start with the Braves’ busy Wednesday, breaking down Atlanta re-signing closer Raisel Iglesias and their trade for Mauricio Dubón. What do these moves signal about the rest of the Braves’ winter? And what does sending Nick Allen to Houston mean for the Astros’ plans?
Next, we react to Jeff Passan’s offseason preview article, which dropped some fascinating nuggets about how teams are approaching the winter, including the surprising possibility that the Pirates might actually spend.
From there, we dive into a record four players accepting the qualifying offer. What does each acceptance mean for the clubs involved? Are the Yankees already flirting with an offseason disaster?
We also unpack the Orioles–Angels trade and the brand-new MLB media rights deals announced Wednesday - explaining exactly how and where you’ll be able to watch MLB in 2026.

After opening with a look at how MLB can fix its offseason structure, we react to Josh Naylor returning to the Seattle Mariners on a five-year deal. With their top priority checked off, where do the M’s go from here and what does this say about their championship window?
We also give a quick reaction to Ryan Yarbrough re-signing with the Yankees before jumping into our “Three Things” segment, where each of us brings three topics that have been on our minds around the league. This week’s discussion ranges from the 2026 Hall of Fame ballot and how MLB should overhaul its awards announcements to a bigger conversation about how sports gambling has changed, and in some ways damaged, the way fans consume sports in 2025.

Recapping an unforgettable World Series Game 7 classic between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays, a game that had absolutely everything.
The Dodgers emerged victorious 5-4 in 11 innings, securing back-to-back World Series titles and cementing their place in baseball history. We break down the key moments that defined the night - from Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s masterful relief effort and Will Smith's home run, to the Blue Jays’ two golden chances with runners just 90 feet away.
Where does this rank among the greatest Game 7s ever? Best World Series ever? Who stepped up, who fell short, and what’s next for these two powerhouse teams?
We get into all of it - the emotion, the strategy, the legacies, and what this means for the future of baseball.

We open today’s show by thinking about what hobbies we might pick up as we face the long, cold, dark offseason with the Yankees on the brink of elimination (0:00). The Blue Jays outscored the Yankees 23–8 in the first two games in Toronto, taking a commanding 2–0 series lead (3:48). We dig into what went wrong for Yankee pitching, give all the credit to Toronto - highlighting Vladdy’s grand slam, Trey Yesavage’s historic start, and all the “other” guys who have stepped up to dominate. Can the Yankees get up off the mat again?
From there, we shift to Tigers–Mariners, probably the two best games of the postseason so far, with each team winning a close one (20:32). We talk about the beautiful city of Seattle and the incredible postseason atmosphere in their stadium, why not all splits are the same, and how Detroit left one on the table losing the Skubal start.
Next up is Dodgers–Phillies, where LA’s comeback victory Saturday night felt like the knockout punch (30:32). Teoscar Hernández’s clutch three–run homer capped it off, and now it feels like the Dodgers are cruising toward their second straight World Series. Can Philly mount a comeback? Game 2 tonight is an absolute must–win for the Phillies.
Finally, we wrap with Brewers–Cubs, where Milwaukee dominated Game 1 on Saturday (40:59). Still, this series feels more open than the score suggested - can the Cubs pick up a win tonight in Milwaukee to even things up?
