• BREAKING NEWS: Edwin Díaz signs with the Dodgers & Kyle Schwarber re-signs with the Phillies

  The annual baseball Winter Meetings were quiet — until suddenly they weren’t. Within a span of minutes, news broke that the Philadelphia Phillies had re-signed Kyle Schwarber, bringing him back to the City of Brotherly Love. While the move wasn’t entirely surprising, it was the news that followed that left the baseball world shaking.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the Los Angeles Dodgers signing Edwin Díaz away from the New York Mets to a three-year, $69 million contract, taking the trumpets out west. The move fills a much-needed void in the Dodgers’ bullpen and has people wondering if it could be key to a potential three-peat.Later, Jake and Jordan talk about the Phillies bringing Schwarber back and why it made sense for them to commit five years and $150 million. They also discuss Philadelphia giving manager Rob Thomson a contract extension and speculate about the possibility of Don Mattingly joining as a bench coach to support the veteran skipper. 1:25 – Dodgers sign Edwin Díaz9:42 – How this affects the Mets19:00 – Phillies re-sign Kyle Schwarber31:00 – Rob Thomson gets an extension Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Jake, Jordan & the show on X or Instagram:🌤️ @CespedesBBQ: https://bsky.app/profile/cespedesbbq.bsky.social🐦 @CespedesBBQ: https://x.com/CespedesBBQ📷 @CespedesBBQ: https://www.instagram.com/cespedesbbq⚾ @Jake_Mintz: https://x.com/Jake_Mintz🧢 @J_Shusterman: https://x.com/j_shusterman_

This is normally the week when deals start to bloom and big free agents are plucked from the tree.

They then talk about Jeff Kent being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee and why it’ll be at least five years until Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds possibly get their last shot at enshrinement.Later, Jake and Jordan talk about the Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, Washington Nationals,and Pittsburgh Pirates all making trades with their hopes set on 2026, as well as a few free agents coming off the board.

• Lucas Giolito Talks Being a Free Agent, 2025 Red Sox Season + Barry Bonds & Roger Clemens’ Last Shot at the Hall of Fame

  There aren’t many debates hotter than who should and shouldn’t be elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame. While members of the BBWAA are tasked with voting on the standard ballot, the veterans committee votes on a smaller ballot to determine whether those who fell through the cracks will ultimately achieve baseball immortality.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the committee of 16 former players, executives, and members of the media who will ultimately decide whether some of the biggest and most controversial names in baseball will be elected into the Hall of Fame. While players like Don Mattingly and Dale Murphy hope that their time in the league will help their nomination, for players like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, this could be their last chance to be voted in.Later, Jake and Jordan welcome nine-year veteran and current free-agent pitcher Lucas Giolito as he discusses what going through free agency is like, his thoughts on his time with the 2025 Boston Red Sox, how Garrett Crochet changed following his contract extension and what plans Lucas has for his post-MLB days. Then the guys talk about three players making their way back to MLB following their time in Japan, discuss the Colorado Rockies hiring a general manager and make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.3:14 — The Opener: Hall of Fame veterans committee20:20 — Lucas Giolito joins the show!32:40 — Thoughts on the 2025 Red Sox55:37 — The future for Giolito1:00:48 — Around the League1:10:47 — The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Jake, Jordan & the show on X or Instagram:🌤️ @CespedesBBQ: https://bsky.app/profile/cespedesbbq.bsky.social🐦 @CespedesBBQ: https://x.com/CespedesBBQ📷 @CespedesBBQ: https://www.instagram.com/cespedesbbq⚾ @Jake_Mintz: https://x.com/Jake_Mintz🧢 @J_Shusterman: https://x.com/j_shusterman_

• Dylan Cease Lands Mega Deal with Blue Jays, Red Sox Trade for Sonny Gray & Relievers on the Move

  The Toronto Blue Jays made a major impact on the baseball world when they won the AL pennant and came within a game of winning the World Series this past season. However, just because they got so close to a title doesn’t mean they didn’t see room for improvement, and with one fell swoop, they found themselves a new potential ace for their rotation.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the mega deal that Dylan Cease received from the Blue Jays, as he finalized a 7-year, $210 million contract to hopefully lead them right back to the World Series next year. Did Toronto jump the gun a little too quickly to bring in the seven-year veteran or were they right to strike before any other team could bid for Cease’s services?Later, Jake and Jordan discuss the other moves that saw pitchers finding new homes, including the Boston Red Sox trading for St. Louis Cardinals starter Sonny Gray, the New York Mets signing Devin Williams to a three-year deal and the Baltimore Orioles bringing in Ryan Helsley to help with their bullpen. Then the guys take a look back at their bold predictions for the 2025 season and whether any actually came true.2:31 — The Opener: Cease to Toronto25:03 — Scott Boras Scoreboard update29:27 — We Need To Talk About: Sonny to Boston42:33 — Around The League: Devin & Helsley’s new homes55:04 — Turbo Mode: ’25 predictions recap Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Jake, Jordan & the show on X or Instagram:🌤️ @CespedesBBQ: https://bsky.app/profile/cespedesbbq.bsky.social🐦 @CespedesBBQ: https://x.com/CespedesBBQ📷 @CespedesBBQ: https://www.instagram.com/cespedesbbq⚾ @Jake_Mintz: https://x.com/Jake_Mintz🧢 @J_Shusterman: https://x.com/j_shusterman_
