How did AJ and Kratz attack the offseason when they played? (Top of show)

(6:54) AJ and Kratz discuss Seiya Suzuki’s market after a productive 2026 with the Cubs. Could the Japanese slugger command over $100M?

(18:16) The Cardinals hired a new GM. Is now the time to start spending?

(28:18) The Orioles are willing to listen to offers for anyone other than Pete Alonso.

(30:19) The Mets are running it back with another co-hitting coach.

(33:04) Perry Minasian will return to the Braves as a senior adviser to amateur scouting.

(36:10) Aaron Judge reportedly had to “sternly” tell Jazz Chisholm Jr. to stop certain behaviors.

(43:54) The Yankees will make a decision on Giancarlo Stanton after Spring Training, where they will determine how much he has “left in the tank.”

(46:53) The Royals have THREE hitting coaches?!
