Jake's 2025 free agent rankings are in. Is Kyle Schwarber really ahead of Pete Alonso? Guest host, Bailey Freeman, aka Foolish Baseball, pinch hits for Jordan Shusterman and gives his thoughts on Jake's list. Where does he agree and disagree with the rankings mid-season?

The Yankees lost again, and this time Aaron Judge was in the lineup. The guys give their thoughts on the situation in the Bronx and take a look, maybe regrettably so, at the Yankees mentions following their 2-0 loss to the Rangers on this week's "Sorry for Your Mentions."

You provided the questions and now Jake and Bailey will provide the answers. They reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from the audience! Do MLB players get jury duty? What other non-baseball stadiums should host a game? How exactly should we be evaluating MLB managers? The guys discuss.

The Heart and Hustle Award, possibly MLB's least talked about award, is given out by the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association to the player who demonstrates a passion for the game of baseball and best embodies the values, spirit and traditions of the game. Each team has a winner, and then an overall winner is selected from each of the 30 individual team winners. Bailey tries to guess each team's choice. Jordan will do the same on Friday. Who knows ball more? We will find out.
