Show notes

There is no baseball general manager who has had better fortune of late agreeing to contract extensions for their players than Atlanta's chief decision-maker Alex Anthopoulos. The Braves' GM joins Bradfo to talk about how he is building his team and lessons learned from his stint with the Blue Jays. There is also a spirited debate over ketchup-flavored potato chips.

Last year, Bradfo got help from Batting Stance Guy to help reveal his Hall of Fame ballot.

Sweeney, Bradfo has gone next-level in announcing his picks, with Sweeney reprising his role in the iconic baseball movie 'Eight Men Out' and delivering the selections as Shoeless Joe Jackson.

It's that time of year, when for the first few weeks of January the baseball conversation is dominated by who will get into the Hall of Fame and who will miss at. The person who helps navigate the debate better than anyone is Ryan Thibodaux, who has constructed the go-to tracker when it comes to how the HOF voting is shaking out.

Show notes

Are we sleeping on Masa Yoshida? With news that that the new Red Sox outfielder will be playing for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic, it got Bradfo thinking: Could this guy be the best free agent outfield acquisition not named Aaron Judge? Just to help the conversation our host talks to Red Sox exec Gus Quattlebaum, who helped spearhead the pursuit of the 29-year-old outfielder. It's a great way to kick off what will undoubtedly be anything but a boring year.

Eduardo Perez proves Baseball is anything but Boring Dec 31, 2022

Show notes

Just about a year ago, the Baseball Isn't Boring cause was hatched. It was a product of a message both Bradfo and Joe Kelly wished to pass along via the book that can now be bought on Amazon - "A Damn Near Perfect Game: Reclaiming America's Pastime". Along the way there were t-shirts, hoodies, sound bytes, conversation, social media accounts and, finally, the podcast. We asked a multitude of players, actors, entertainers, and media members the simple question: Why baseball isn't boring. While there too many to surface on the final day of 2022, we felt that the answer given by ESPN's Eduardo Perez hit perfect and serves as the ultimate launching pad for 2023.

Show notes

Through all the player acquisitions and conversations about what baseball might look like in 2023, one piece of the puzzle that enters into the team-building process are those designated hitters. How will teams value them? Should it be a position of priority? Why it isn't as easy as it looks to actually execute life as a DH.

Major League Baseball free agency hasn't disappointed when it comes to giving us two months of drama, with the Carlos Correa saga serving as the latest - and most bizarre - example. Bradfo is joined by BIB free agent correspondent Ed Hand to dive into the Correa saga as we await whether or not he will truly land with the Mets, while also picking a few free agents who could sneakily be bargains for some lucky MLB team. It's some more good free agent talk!
