Starting pitchers are always a priority for teams looking to compete for a title, and this offseason has proven that statement to still be true. The New York Mets and Chicago Cubs both made deals with starting pitchers as they hope it will lead to a stronger rotation than what they had in 2024.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the signing of Frankie Montas with the Mets and why this is just the first part of the Amazins’ rotation overhaul, as well as Matthew Boyd joining the Cubs and whether this could be the only starting pitcher they bring this off-season. The boys also react to the Los Angeles Dodgers extending Tommy Edman and Juan Soto’s trolley and announcing his new sponsor.
The boys are also joined in this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast Pod at Lansdowne co-host Liam Fennessy as they discuss all the recent Juan Soto-Boston Red Sox rumors, as well as the reaction from the Fenway faithful to the possibility of the megastar joining the Sox. Later, Jake and Jordan talk about Bryce Harper competing in a home run derby with MrBeast, why comedian Druski wore a Mike Soroka jersey, and Branson Arroyo’s “legendary” appearance on The Masked Singer.
