To kick off the new year, I had a bit of fun and went through some of my baseball “Ins and Outs” for 2026. Let’s discuss… (10 mins)
The Angels are officially parting ways with Anthony Rendon, concluding what baseball fans have crowned as the worst MLB contract of all time. That got me thinking, what other contracts were in the running before this one? And which team has the worst record when it comes to dud contract signings? I have some thoughts. Let’s discuss. (24 mins)
The MLB offseason feels so slow these days, right? Here’s five of the big reasons why that’s happening. Let’s get into it... (11 mins)
Tommy Pham is in the news sometimes and not always for the best reasons. Never fear! This time though, he’s out here making the case that we need BETTER stats and dropping mics. A current free agent, Tommy talked with The Athletic and unveiled his idea for a set of stats that better represent players like him. I now present to you, “Phamgraphs!” Lets get into it… (9 mins)

I wrote about some songs I think hitters and relievers should use as their walk-up music for the 2026 season.
My producer, David Korn, chatted with me about my former teammate and current Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow.
STAT OF THE WEEK - Ballpark Factor
Ballpark factor, at its most basic, takes the runs scored by Team X (and its competitors) in Team X’s home ballpark and divides the figure by the runs scored by Team X and its competitors in Team X’s road contests. Often times, that number will be ever-so-slightly adjusted if a team doesn’t play the same opponents at home as on the road.
For example: In 2018, 849 runs were scored at Coors Field, and 676 runs were scored in Rockies games away from Coors Field. Coors Field had a park factor of 1.271, when looking at runs scored.
The same exercise can be done with other stats, such as home runs, triples, doubles, etc.
