#58 - You Will NEVER Be Pope (2024-25 Free Agency Predictions)

We review Conclave, a new Oscar contender starring Ralph Fiennes that asks questions old and new about the consolidation of power and the intersection of religion & politics. Did they Trojan horse a Politics Movie into a Pope Movie? How does this fit into the canon of religious cinema? Then, we make our official predictions for MLB free agency: estimating which star players will sign where, for how long, and for how much money. How will the Soto sweepstakes shake out? The Mets will sign a bunch of big names, but who? And which lucky team will sign Roki Sasaki? The top 20 available players per FanGraphs are all covered here.
