About this listen

In this episode of the On Deck Circle podcast, hosts Aaron and Alex dive into the latest happenings in Major League Baseball as they check in on the 2026 off-season. They discuss significant player signings and trades, including Clayton Kershaw's participation in the World Baseball Classic and Mookie Betts' announcement that 2032 will be his last season. The conversation shifts to the competitive landscape of the league, particularly focusing on the arms race among teams like the Dodgers, Blue Jays, and Mets, and how these dynamics impact the overall competitiveness of the sport.

Aaron and Alex also engage in a spirited debate about the implications of the Dodgers' recent acquisitions, particularly Kyle Tucker's signing, and whether such moves are detrimental to the league's balance. They explore the concept of a salary cap, the challenges of deferred contracts, and the need for a salary floor to ensure all teams can compete effectively.
