What this episode covers

Chris Sale locks in with the Braves: 1-year, $27M extension for 2027 + $30M club option for 2028. We dive deep—why this is a smart (but risky) move for Atlanta, Sale’s elite fastball-slider combo, his injury history, and whether Father Time catches up to the 2024 Cy Young winner.Harrison Bader’s food-truck nuke: The new Giants CF crushes a 113.8 mph, 408-ft bomb that leaves a dent (and his autograph + “Sorry”) on a Cactus Bowls truck in Phoenix. Viral moment of the spring! We debate: Are the Giants legit 2026 playoff contenders with Arraez, Bader, Webb, Mahle, and that sneaky-deep rotation?Travis Bazzana’s signature camp moment: The former No. 1 pick launches a 423-ft, 107.8 mph moonshot off a 98.5 mph sinker vs. the Dodgers. He’s headed to the WBC with Australia—but does a big WBC mean Opening Day with Cleveland? (Spoiler: Probably not—service-time games incoming.)Yankees honor a legend: CC Sabathia’s No. 52 gets retired with a Monument Park plaque on September 26, 2026. We relive his peak years, that gritty 2012 ALDS Game 5 complete game, postseason heroics, and why he’s one of the most beloved Yankees ever.From contract talk to food-truck apologies to prospect pop-offs, we’ve got it all.
