The Dodgers and Blue Jays are set for a massive 2025 World Series showdown, and the MLB hot stove is already heating up. Adam Weinrib and Robert Murray break down the first reactions to the matchup — including George Springer’s huge moment — and dig into the latest managerial hires and trade buzz around the league.

They discuss the Angels hiring Kurt Suzuki, how it compares to passing on Albert Pujols, and whether Pujols could land with the Padres or Orioles instead. The guys also touch on the Tony Vitello–Giants rumors, Nick Hundley’s future, and big-name buzz around Tarik Skubal, Freddy Peralta, and the Phillies’ offseason direction.
