Bader Heading to the Bay, J-Ram Re-Works Extension, Kimbrel Signs with Mets, Mancini Signs Minors Deal with Angels, Darvish Squashes Retirement Rumor, MLB Lockout Talk

What’s up Ballers?! Today, we got a jam packed show as we discuss Harrison Bader landing a two year contract to join the San Francisco Giants outfield. In Cleveland, we dive into the team and their star third baseman Jose Ramirez agreeing to an extension that will keep him with the club through the 2032 season. Later, we discuss two minor league deals agreed upon as Craig Kimbrel lands with the Mets and Trey Mancini signs with the Angels both with invitations to MLB Spring Training Camp. Also, we get to the bottom of the report that Yu Darvish was announcing his retirement according to a local San Diego source quickly pivoting from two statements from Darvish’s camp including the pitcher himself stating he has not decided upon retirement as of yet and has a desire to pitch in 2027 as long as his recovery from surgery in October goes to plan. Finally, we discuss the elephant in the room, with the league’s collective bargaining agreement is set to expire on December 1 of this year discussing topics to be addressed between the MLB and MLBPA that may lead to an eventual lockout.
