Major league baseball has be proposing new changes to the game left and right lately. With a new CBA negotiation underway and predictably relentless push for a Salary Cap imminent, the downtrodden billionaires decided it was the perfect opportunity to overhaul the amateur draft as well. There was a lot in the proposal, so I'll dive deep on every point and give you my two cents.
Mayday Update is back! The Home run Derby is changing, taking away the time format and bringing in a “per swing” format. The Mariners are taking on a new piggyback plan. The list of the top five trade candidates has come out, and Joe Ryan has at least 50% chance of being traded.
Bat tracking metrics can be very overwhelming BUT they are a big and important part of the game. Baseball Savant recently dropped a new evolution of bat tracking metrics which includes at least 6 new metrics. Between missed timing and missed distances, Mike Petriello joins the show to discuss how these metrics can change the game.
It’s time for Mayday Update! Anthony Volpe is optioned down to the minor league by the New York Yankees following rehab. The MLB is planning on expanding from thirty teams to thirty two teams in the near future following a potential bargaining deal. Plus, the five BIGGEST storylines to watch throughout May.
Have the Colorado Rockies ACTUALLY figured out the whole pitching thing?? They’re now going under a pitching change and focusing on transforming the roster. Will this new regime help them team? Plus, the Dodgers have found the solution to how so many pitchers get injured.
Recently, the Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora and five coaches. This becomes the earliest a manager has been let go in-season since 2018. The Red Sox are currently having a not-so-great season, will these firings help or harm the team more? What does the future look like for the team?
The season has been INSANE so far. Jackson Merrill robs Julio Rodriguez of a two-run home run and then hits a walk-off double, giving the Padres their seventh straight win. While Shohei Ohtani may not be hitting, he is on fire with his pitching. In a game against the Mets, he throws 10 strikeouts helping the Dodgers secure an 8-2 win. Ben Rice has the best stats in the MLB right now, so why hasn’t he been in the Yankees&rsquo...
The Yankees are not happy with the Marlins calling pitches from the dugout. By calling pitches from the dugout, it’s creating a habit that will be hard to break if players, specifically the catcher, go to another team. It is also working really well. Should the Marlins keep this up? Plus, a superstar is being made in Tampa.

Hitters love to hit, but HATE getting hit…understandably. Sure, accidents happen, but when does it start to be a pattern? Plus, some news! Jo Adell robbed not one, not two, but THREE homeruns from the Mariners to secure a win for the Angels. The Tampa Bay Rays are moving back to Tropicana Field following its repairs after hurricane Milton.

Let’s overreact…but way too early in the season. Here are eight things that have happened this season so far that have been slightly concerning. Bo Bichette has had a rough start, Team USA pitchers are struggling, and Tony Vitello has had some weird media interactions. Are these things to worry about yet or will the end up working themselves out?

Baseball is back in swing! Jose Fernandez is the seventh player in MLB history to hit two home runs in his debut.

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
