The Baseball Insiders

The Baseball Insiders hosts Adam Weinrib and MLB Insider Robert Murray break down the first real moves of the MLB offseason, from the Astros’ hiring of Randy Flores to the Tarik Skubal free agency race and the early trade market.

Houston chose Flores, formerly of the Cardinals, over Matt Kleine, so Adam and Robert dig into the “second choice” storyline and how Flores should attack a crucial winter. They also ask whether any major free agent dominoes fall before a possible lockout, with the Dodgers and Mets in focus around Skubal. On the trade front, they cover the rising market for CJ Abrams and Jeremy Peña, whether an Elly De La Cruz trade has real momentum, which surprising names could emerge, and how Nick Pivetta’s decision affects the Padres’ rotation.

Adam Weinrib and MLB insider Robert Murray break down what comes next for the Phillies, Red Sox, Cubs and Astros after their Wild Card eliminations and Robert has plenty of offseason intel.

Could Alex Cora be headed to Philadelphia, and is Alec Bohm likely on his way out? Robert explains why a Sonny Gray return to Boston looks increasingly unlikely, why Roman Anthony’s health may be the Red Sox’s biggest offseason question and how the Cubs can address a roster that completely disappeared against San Diego.

Plus, could Houston entertain a Jeremy Peña trade after an ugly end to its season, are the Padres even more dangerous than Robert expected, and should we start believing in the White Sox?
