    Two Arms with Unlikely Success in 2026 + The Pirates 2026 Outlook + Jackson's Bullpen + Will They/Won't They

    This week in baseball, we’re looking past the spring training box scores and into the future. First, we break down why two pitchers are primed for massive 2026 campaigns, but it’s not for the reasons you might think. We dive into Spencer Strider's evolving four-pitch mix and why his path back to "ace status" depends more on command than recapturing his triple-digit heat. Then, we discuss Yennier Cano, whose value in 2026 might actually come from high-leverage usage stability despite a rocky 2025. We break down the Pirates new members and our complete outlook on them for the new season. Jackson's Bullpen, the mystery topic you have to listen to in order to find out what he talked about this week! Finally, we play a high-stakes game of "Will They/Won't They." For every MLB team that finished under 85 wins in 2025, we predict if they can find 10 more victories in 2026.

    TWIB + Guards Roster + D1 Baseball Spotlight + Jackson's Bullpen + Bubble Rookies

    This week, we dive into the start of Spring Training and a polarizing admission from Guardians GM Mike Chernoff, who labeled signing top-tier free agents "impossible" in the current economic climate. We then shift to the college diamond, where Arizona is reeling from a historic 1-7 start while Ole Miss has surged to a perfect 8-0 after sweeping Missouri State. Finally, we analyze the Opening Day outlook for high-profile "bubble" rookies Justin Crawford, Konnor Griffin, and Kevin McGonigle, as they attempt to turn spring momentum into big-league roster spots.

We're digging into the Tigers’ massive rotation gains after pairing Framber Valdez with Tarik Skubal, scouting the top college bats like Drew Burress and Roch Cholowsky ahead of the 2026 season, and handing out our way too early awards—is a Skubal Cy Young three-peat inevitable?
