Time running out for top free agents, Orioles’ interesting signing & Dodgers strike again

With the calendar flipping over to 2025, we are now officially less than two months away from pitchers and catchers reporting for Spring Training. While teams are starting to finalize their rosters for who’s coming to camp, there are still quite a few notable free agents out there looking for jobs. But is time running out for these players to get the deal they’re hoping for? Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman open the show discussing what options Alex Bregman has left since the Houston Astros have clearly pivoted from bringing him back, if it’s inevitable that the New York Mets and Pete Alonso will figure out some sort of deal and where future Hall of Famers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander can take their talents to try and win one more championship. Also on this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast , the guys discuss the Baltimore Orioles signing Charlie Morton to a one-year deal and why, even though it’s a nice addition, this offseason for the Birds has been questionable. They then get into the Los Angeles Dodgers signing Korean free agent Hyeseong Kim and the reason it’s a perfect landing spot for the three-time KBO Golden Glove Award winner.
