MLB FREE AGENCY: Qualifying offers, free agents, Japanese posting market! (Episode 1514 Hour 1)
53 minutes Posted Nov 3, 2026 at 2:26 pm.
Today’s word of the day is ‘rhabdomyolysis’ as in a rare condition that cause your muscles to break down because of exertion. A 24-year old runner died during the NY Marathon, two miles from the finish.
The lockout is almost here. A month away. A one-year, $23.5 million deal is on the table for eight different players. Is it worth it to take it this offseason?
Free agency is here. 40-man rosters needed to be set on Monday by big league teams. There are some big names available to sign. Who gets a deal done before the December 1 expiration of the CBA?
We need to talk about the posting system in MLB from Japan. Three major players from Japan have been posted and the rules are different this year. Players posted from Japan usually have 45 days to sign, but because of the lockout they have only until December 1.
