Shohei Ohtani Could Be Having His Best Season Yet | Ep. 419

After opening with T.J. Rumfield's home run off Jo Adell's head, we discuss the rough news that is Aaron Judge's rib cage injury. Has the Yankees' June swoon officially started? Can the rest of the lineup keep the team afloat until Judge returns? Then we discuss if this is Shohei Ohtani's best season yet. He's had great seasons, but he's never been this good on the mound, and his bat has been heating up. Could we be looking at the best single season... ever? Plus: Cristopher Sánchez's historic scoreless streak was snapped, Paul Skenes has looked off over his last four starts, are the surging Mariners the new AL favorites, a deep dive into a slumping Giants team/organization, our May Team of the Month, and College Baseball Super Regionals predictions. 🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week 📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia 🎧 Available on all podcast platforms#MLB #Dodgers #ShoheiOhtani #AaronJudge #Mariners #Phillies #Baseball #MLBNews #LockedInBaseball

MLB Labor Negotiations Have Begun | Ep. 417

The MLBPA and owners began negotiations on a new CBA this week in New York ahead of the current deal expiring in December. We break down the proposals from both sides, why the most important issue the league needs to solve is the payroll disparity, and if we think a salary cap would be good for the sport. Then we dive into the baseball. We break down Cristopher Sánchez's historic May, a loaded NL Cy Young race, a regular vs. combined no-hitter, the murky AL MVP race, a potentially all-time great Yankee rotation, MLB expansion, Mookie Betts deleting social media due to fan backlash, and much more! 🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week 📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia 🎧 Available on all podcast platforms #MLB #SalaryCap #Phillies #CristopherSanchez #Astros #NoHitter #Yankees #Yordan #Baseball #LockedInBaseball

Cubs, Mets and Red Sox in Freefall, Two IMPROBABLE Home Runs in One Season | Ep. 416

The Cubs are in a complete freefall. They've racked up 9 straight losses, their longest skid since 2022, and are now out of a playoff spot. They've joined the 2017 Dodgers as the only expansion-era teams with two 10-game win streaks AND a 9-game losing streak in one season. We break down what's gone wrong. The Cubs are not alone, though. The Red Sox got swept at home by the Twins and the Mets have dropped 4 straight after Nolan McLean got shelled again. Is it time to blow it up? Plus: TWO of the most improbable home runs you'll ever see in one season. Oneil Cruz hit one off the TOP of the foul pole and Jackson Holliday hit one off the BOTTOM. What're the odds of that?! Colton Cowser's back-to-back walk-offs, Misiorowski's record velocity night, and Corbin Carroll chasing triples history. 🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week 📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia 🎧 Available on all podcast platforms #MLB #Cubs #Mets #RedSox #OneilCruz #JacksonHolliday #Misiorowski #Baseball #MLBRecap #LockedInBaseball

These Teams Should Tear it Down at the Deadline! | Ep. 415

The trade deadline is creeping up, and some of these teams need to make a decision: buy, sell, or blow it up entirely. We break down the clubs who should be tearing it down come August 3rd, plus a full trip Around the League with Luis reporting boots-on-the-ground from Sacramento. We cover the Guardians' dominant sweep of the Tigers in Comerica (are the Tigers dead?), the red-hot Rays owning baseball's best record at 33-15, the Astros' tough decision on Yordan and the core, the Royals' free fall, and whether the Marlins could even sell out a home playoff game. Plus Nick Kurtz's 44-game on-base streak, the Cubs get shoved into a locker by Milwaukee, a rough week for Pete Crow-Armstrong, an incredible rookie class, an elite NL Cy Young race, and a deep dive on Aaron Judge's "slow" start. 🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week 📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia 🎧 Available on all podcast platforms #MLB #TradeDeadline #Astros #Tigers #Royals #Rays #Guardians #YordanAlvarez #Cubs #Brewers #Yankees #Aaron Judge #Baseball #LockedInBaseball
