Rosters to Rings welcomes new co-host and longtime friend of the program Chet West to the show. Chet and Thad break down everything fans need to know about the current MLB labor negotiations, including the key issues being discussed, the role of a salary floor and cap, how television revenue impacts the process, and what both owners and players are really trying to accomplish behind the scenes. Thad provides a rare front office perspective on how these negotiations unfold and why the fact that both sides are talking is an encouraging sign.

The conversation then shifts to the NBA Finals, roster construction, leadership, and whether championship teams need to experience playoff heartbreak before ultimately breaking through. Plus, Thad shares insights on veteran leadership, fan behavior, and the responsibilities organizations have in shaping team culture.

Welcome to the Rosters to Rings Podcast where General Managers from the MLB, NBA, NFL and more will take you behind the curtain and share their unfiltered experiences and evaluations of past and present events in professional sports.

Due to competitive reasons, league rules, ownership directives and extreme discretion, General Managers share approximately 40% of what they know and experience with fans. At the Rosters to Rings Podcast, we are here to share as much of the other 60% as we can. We will dive deep into not only what decisions are made, but how and why they are made, the strategic nature of negotiations, roster construction, the characters that make up the game, and the true depth of relationships between executives, coaches, players, agents, media and fans.
