FanGraphs Audio: Episode No. 1000 Retrospective

Episode 1000 That’s right, we have reached our four-digit milestone. Look back through the years with us before we look to the future (or at least this upcoming offseason). It would be impossible to fully encapsulate all 1,000 episodes of FanGraphs Audio, but this producer put together 22 minutes of great memories. Going all the way back to the very first episode (published February 8, 2010), we hear plenty of former long-time host Carson Cistulli as well as appearances from podcast friends such as Dave Cameron, Rob Neyer, Eno Sarris, David Appelman, David Laurila, Dayn Perry, Grant Brisbee, Kiley McDaniel, Jeff Sullivan, Eric Longenhagen, Nate Freiman, Dan Szymborski, Jay Jaffe, Meg Rowley, Sam Miller, Ben Clemens, and even Carson’s 91-year-old grandfather. [2:36] After that bit of history, Ben and Dan look to the offseason and discuss our Top 50 Free Agents list. They talk about Edwin Díaz‘s surprisingly big contract with the Mets, how wild Aaron Judge‘s upcoming deal this winter could be, what the Red Sox might or maybe should do, and how they feel they have underrated Brandon Nimmo. Ben and Dan also look at Craig Kimbrel’s spot at No. 50 on the list and who else might have fit there. [25:59] To purchase a FanGraphs membership for yourself or as a gift, click here.
