Straight Outta Left: A Baseball Podcast

Today we're discussing potential landing spots for the remaining big-name free agents still available. Spring training has started already, so it's crunch time now for these guys, their agents, and their potential new teams

Today, we're talking about the impact of the trades that have happened throughout MLB during the offseason, including the Yankees acquiring Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo, the Orioles bringing in Corbin Burnes, the Braves taking a chance on Chris Sale, and many more!

We're back on this winter Sunday with a deep dive into the careers of Adrian Beltre, Joe Mauer, and Todd Helton, after all three of them were voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this week

It is right and just that Leo joins the show to talk about the Twins vs. Astros showdown during the ALDS. Stay tuned for hot takes and friendly debates!

A little unscripted today, but we got my predictions for the Divisional Round that starts today! (Alternate title: this guy can jinx every team except the Phillies apparently)

The playoffs start tomorrow! I give my takes on each of the 12 teams in contention for the World Championship and make my predictions on who's going to come out on top. (Hint - their scouting department is quite "devilish" in their methods of finding the next best reliever in the game every year)

Easy cop-out episode! I just fill out a 2023 All-Star Game ballot and ramble about why my choices are clearly the best

Today, we're looking at this year's rookie class. There's a lot of guys who are making big impacts in their first year. Guys like Carroll, Yoshida, Jung, Brown, Senga...and McGough?

Finally, we're back at it! Looking at how this season has gone so far, several teams have disrupted the status quo and done surprisingly well. We'll be talking about the Rangers, Pirates, D-Backs, and a few others as well.

Before the season starts, I give my best guess at how each team is going to do in 2023, plus I make my playoff and World Series predictions!

Opening Day is tomorrow! Let's talk about which teams have the best lineups and pitching staffs

The Rays had an injury-plagued 2022 season yet still made the playoffs. If they can stay healthy in 2023, can they go all the way?

The Mariners FINALLY made it back to October baseball last year. This year, they're hungry and poised to do even more damage

The Giants came back to earth last season, and they had a disappointing offseason to say the least. Can their current roster keep up with the other powerhouses in their division?

The Padres followed up their energizing playoff run in 2022 with a busy offseason. Their championship window is wide open now, but do they have what it takes to go all the way?

The Cardinals bid farewell to some franchise icons after 2022, but they are set on pursuing another division title in 2023.

The Pirates are still rebuilding, but, with their young talent and seasoned vets, they have a good shot to improve in 2023.

The Phillies are looking to carry the momentum from their surprise pennant run from 2022 into this year. They improved a lot this offseason, so great things could be on the horizon for them

Die-hard Yankees fan Joe joins the show to talk about the upcoming season. He brings a fresh, honest perspective that adds a lot to the show!

The A's are still deep in their long rebuild, but they continue to acquire young talent to develop in their farm system. We could see some of these guys arrive on the big league scene this year

The Mets brought in plenty of reinforcements this offseason, as they usually do. They're going to need all the help they can get to make it to the top of the stacked NL East this year though

After barely missing out on a playoff spot last year, Milwaukee added several new faces to go along with their existing core. Will the new additions plus the emergence of some young talent from the farm system help get them back to October this year?

The Marlins are going to rely heavily on their talented young starting rotation this year.  The big question is: can the offense wake up and do their part?

Last year was more of the same for the Dodgers: absolute dominance in the regular season followed by a brutal collapse in the playoffs. Will a new mindset and retooled roster change the narrative in 2023?

The Angels...one of the most frustrating teams of the past several years. Can they finally realize their potential in 2023, and will they be able to keep Shohei Ohtani around?

Kansas City looks to improve after a rough 2022. With a new manager and a lot of young talent bursting onto the scene, there is a lot of potential here, but only time will tell.

The Tigers had a rough 2022, to say the least. They need big bounce back seasons from their rookies and veterans alike to improve in 2023.

Leo joins tonight to talk about the defending champs and their outlook for 2023!

Cleveland was a fun young team that made a somewhat surprising playoff run in 2022. Their 2023 roster looks really well-constructed, and they seem to be in good shape for another push.

Cincinnati is in the middle of another deep rebuild. Expectations are low, but they do have some interesting young players who could turn some heads if things go well this season

The White Sox 2022 season was disappointing to say the least. Can their new manager bring in good vibes and more success for 2023?

Today 2023 season preview is about the defending NL East Champion Atlanta Braves. After a disappointing exit in the playoffs and losing a couple big names, the Braves brought in some new faces to help them reload for another title push in 2023. Will it be enough?

On the 1st installment of the 2023 SPS (Season Preview Series), we go down to Arizona to talk about the D-Backs' outlook for 2023. They vastly improved last season and made some moves over the winter to bring in pieces to supplement their burgeoning young core of stars. Will they make another big step forward in 2023?

Tonight, we're going over the Yu Darvish extension, plus talking about the Bryan Reynolds situation in Pittsburgh and discussing some new rule updates from the league.

After a long hiatus, we are back, with a list of 6 teams who "won" the offseason

Carlos Correa is staying in Minnesota after all...wait, WHAT?!

Apparently Carlos Correa's agent has reached out to other teams again?! Plus, the Red Sox lock up Rafael Devers, and the Pirates seem ready to trade Bryan Reynolds

The Mets are now having concerns about Carlos Correa's health also?! Plus the Blue Jays add a really underrated piece in Daulton Varsho, and the Rogers twins are going to be pitching together in San Fran

Just kidding about the whole Giants thing, Carlos Correa is actually going to the Mets. We now know that this is Steve Cohen's world and we're just living in it
