Free agent power rankings, qualifying offer candidates & the Mariners hire a new manager
The Major League Baseball offseason is officially underway. Now that the Milwaukee Brewers have won their first World Series and celebrated in the streets with fans who never thought they'd see the day, the next order of business is free agency, and it has arrived. The question now is if and when names will start coming off the board before a potential lockout.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss their free agent rankings for this offseason, which are headlined by ace left-handed starting pitcher Tarik Skubal and where the two-time Cy Young Award winner could land. They also discuss which of the players who received qualifying offers might actually accept them and whether or not there will be a position player in this class who gets a contract offer worth over $100 million.Later in the show, Jake and Jordan talk about the Seattle Mariners hiring 36-year-old first-time manager Jason Kanzler to lead the club and whether or not bringing in a skipper with no on-field managing experience will work for them.

Brewers come back again to win Game 2, Rays down 0–2 in the World Series going back to the Trop
The Milwaukee Brewers have shown resilience throughout the postseason, making comeback victories a normal occurrence.

Brewers hold on to win World Series Game 1, Rays turn to Drew Rasmussen for Game 2
The 122nd edition of the World Series has kicked off, and the Milwaukee Brewers have won their first game in the Fall Classic since 1984. On the backs of their already stellar pitching staff, they take a 1-0 lead against the Tampa Bay Rays, but with Game 2 set for Saturday night, this series could quickly flip on a dime.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the action from Game 1, which saw flame-throwing ace Jacob Misiorowski make his first-ever World Series start and hold the Rays' bats to just one run before the bullpen took over. They then look at the wacky top of the ninth, in which a replay review overturned a game-ending double play and cut the Brewers' lead to one, but the Brewers still had enough to hang on and secure the victory.Later in the show, Jake and Jordan preview Game 2 of the series, that will see the Rays send their ace, Drew Rasmussen, to the mound to try to even things up at one game apiece before the series shifts to St. Petersburg. Will William Contreras continue to have a major impact on this series, or will Junior Caminero and a tough Rays lineup find a way to thump their way to a victory? 1:09 - Instant thoughts on the Brewers' win3:19 - Game 1 recap16:57 - The Miz's World Series debut25:01 - Wacky ninth inning33:27 - A look at Game 242:28 - Rant on CBA discourse 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_

The 2026 edition of the World Series is officially set, and for the first time since 1980, a team will win a championship for the first time in its franchise history. As the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays prepare to do battle this Friday in Game 1, the quest to raise the Commissioner’s Trophy will surely be a tightly contested battle between two very similar teams.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman first give their thoughts on Game 6 of the ALCS, which saw the Rays knock out the Cleveland Guardians in a three-games-to-two series, and discuss how impressive it was for Tampa Bay to finish off the series the way they did. They then try to figure out where the Guardians go from here after being eliminated and further extending their World Series title drought.Later in the show, Jake and Jordan give a complete position-by-position breakdown of the World Series matchup, including why those outside the baseball world will get to know Junior Caminero, the importance of Jacob Misiorowski going deeper into games, and which team has the edge in this series.

Rays are one win away from World Series, Brewers’ secret weapon & how things went wrong for Dodgers
The Tampa Bay Rays have been to the World Series twice in their franchise history, and although neither appearance resulted in a championship, they’re now just one win away from getting back to the Fall Classic for the first time since 2020 following their ALCS Game 5 win. However, the Cleveland Guardians aren’t ready to give up just yet.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz is joined by FOX Sports MLB writer Deesha Thosar as they recap the action from ALCS Games 4 and 5, which put the Rays in the driver’s seat for the rest of the series. On the backs of ace Drew Rasmussen and Yandy Díaz’s bat, the Rays are up 3–2 in the series as they look to close it out in St. Petersburg on Monday night. Will the Guardians win the do-or-die game and force a winner-take-all Game 7?Later in the show, Jake and Deesha take a look at the job Pat Murphy has done with the Milwaukee Brewers as they wait for their World Series opponent. They discuss how the manager has built a stronger bond with the club, which is still searching for its first-ever World Series title.

Brewers win 1st pennant since 1982, Dodgers’ three-peat dream swept away & Guardians lead ALCS 2-1
The Milwaukee Brewers are going to the World Series for the first time since 1982, and they did it in revenge fashion.

On the backs of a strong pitching staff and a whole bunch of gamers, as manager Pat Murphy has dubbed them, they shocked the baseball world by handling the Dodgers and not making the series close at all. They also discuss where things have gone wrong for the Dodgers, whether Tarik Skubal will return and what the offseason could hold for Shohei Ohtani.Later in the show, Jake and Jordan take a look at the current situation in the ALCS, where the Cleveland Guardians lead the Tampa Bay Rays two games to one following the postseason heroics of Petey Halpin. They then preview Game 4 and discuss whether the Rays will be able to even things up as the Brewers await the winner. 1:55 - The Opener: Brewers win the pennant30:42 - Brewers postgame reaction40:56 - What went wrong for the Dodgers?46:53 - Ohtani’s offseason57:15 - ALCS update 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_
