Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Milton’s finally robbed of his red Swingline stapler
Q: How does Shelton get a job like that?
Kovacevic reflects skepticism about the Minnesota Twins' hiring of Shelton, noting that they seem to be looking for someone who can tolerate losing rather than improve the team.
Justin Horowitz, the scouting director responsible for drafting Konnor Griffin, leaves for the Nationals
Q: How much of Brian Reynolds and or O'Neill Cruz's hitting was impacted in 2025 by the fact that there's no one in the lineup around them to fear?
Kovacevic asserts that while the lineup isn't strong overall, the issue with both Reynolds and Cruz is that they were missing hittable pitches rather than just lacking protection.
The big lockout theory for keeping Ben Cherington
Q: If there is no baseball in 2027, will Paul Skeens become a free agent after the 2029 season, or will it be after the 2030 season?
The timing of becoming a free agent hinges on the collective bargaining agreement, which may change significantly, allowing earlier free agency.
No. 2 payroll vs. No. 6 in the World Series? Ideal!
Q: Why is Triolo viewed as a fringe player on this team?
Triolo is seen as a fringe player because he had a poor hitting performance, earning a demotion to the minors despite winning a gold glove. In contrast, Gonzalez, who has pedigree as a first-round pick, is expected to perform better due to his background and potential.
Where/how to upgrade Major League Baseball's worst offense?
Q: Is Bob Nutting waiting to see if a salary cap is put into place before engaging Paul Skeens in extension talks?
No, that would be gambling given the uncertainty of the new labor agreement.
