Thad Levine and Chet West break down a wave of major front-office shakeups across Major League Baseball, from the Angels and A’s to the Astros, and ask what these moves say about the state of the game. They also dive into the ongoing debate over MLB payroll, salary caps and salary floors, and whether spending more actually translates to winning.

The conversation then turns to the other side of roster construction: when big contracts go wrong. Thad and Chet examine the long-term impact of deals like Deshaun Watson’s contract with the Browns and Kris Bryant’s deal with the Rockies, and how injuries, declining performance and guaranteed money can reshape a franchise.
