Hembo and Buster discuss why Roki Sasaki will be baseball’s biggest bargain, why Boston is the best place for Juan Soto to play, Christian Walker flying under the radar, Dick Allen’s air-tight Hall of Fame case, and banging the drum for Ichiro Suzuki’s unanimously being elected to the Hall of Fame. Then, Seattle Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto stops by to talk about becoming a first-time grandfather, improving the infield, avoiding a slow start for Julio Rodriguez, and GM scouting reports on A.J. Preller and Dave Dombrowski. Next, Chicago Cubs GM Carter Hawkins chats with Buster about meeting with agents during free agency, the focus of the Cubs offseason and the improvement of Pete Crow-Armstrong. Later, Jesse Rogers on the Yankees potentially matching any offer to Soto, which teams are interested in trading for Garrett Crochet, the Phillies possibly being aggressive this offseason, Corbin Burnes, the Blue Jays looking for lineup balance, and the Cardinals moving Wilson Contreras to 1B.CALL THE SHOW: 406-404-8460EMAIL THE SHOW: BLEACHERTWEETS@GMAIL.COMREACH OUT ON X: #BLEACHERTWEETS5:01 Hembo17:32 Seattle Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto31:50 Chicago Cubs GM Carter Hawkins43:14 Jesse Rogers1:00:54 Bleacher Tweets Learn more about your ad choices.
