Destiny Draft 2026, Round 2 (feat. The Canary)

#084 - World Cup Fever, Fenway Scots, and the Theme Team Goes Global

The boys are all back together, and this week we get into the World Cup spirit. First up, the Scottish fans basically take over Fenway Park on Sunday Night Baseball, which sends us into a chat about football crowds, baseball crowds, and what MLB can learn from a proper tournament atmosphere. From there, we talk about the madness of four World Cup draws in a single day, how rare that is, and whether there’s a baseball version of a similar ilk. Then we stay on theme and build a World Cup-inspired MLB theme team, because apparently this is what happens when baseball guys watch too much football. Spoon closes us out with his best tips for the slate. Head to baseballexpats.com to follow along with Destiny Draft, and we’ll be back Friday for the Weekend Pickoff. Love you. Like and subscribe.

Destiny Draft 2026, Round 3 (feat. The Commissioner)

Round 3 of Destiny Draft is here. The boys recap Round 2, hear from The Canary after his run as listener picker, then meet our new guest picker for Round 3 before cracking into another card-fuelled snake draft. As always, the pack decides the player pool, the boys make the picks, and the next two weeks decide who cooked and who’s cooked.

#083 - Vegas is wild, Skubal Trade Smoke, and the Destiny Draft Curse

Rolsey’s away so it’s just Eric and Spoon holding the fort. We start with a Destiny Draft check-in and the brutal injury curse that’s hit the player pool again (Judge, Buxton, Varsho… it’s grim). We also shout out the new tools on baseballexpats.com — the live scoreboard and Rolsey’s searchable Destiny Draft points database. From there Eric catches Spoon up after a week away, including the live chaos of Brewers vs A’s in Vegas turning into a full-blown run festival (14–14 in extras while we’re recording), plus early thoughts on how that park might play for totals. Then we hit the big league headline conversation: Tarik Skubal rehab appearances and the early trade smoke around a back-to-back Cy Young guy, followed by a proper flowers moment for how hot the Phillies have been. We wrap with Spoon’s midweek plays. We’ll be back Friday with another Weekend Pickoff. Love you. Like and subscribe.

Destiny Draft 2026, Round 2 (feat. The Canary)

Round 2 is here for Destiny Draft. Follow along at baseballexpats.com on the Destiny Draft live scoreboardd. Before we’re joined by our guest picker, The Canary, Rolsey climbs onto the soapbox to complain (lovingly) about not being able to watch enough Cardinals–Cubs after a ripping weekend of baseball. From there we touch on the injury toll piling up across MLB, but also the flip side: a few key names returning and instantly making the league more fun. Then we meet The Canary, crack into the Round 2 draft, and build teams from the card-determined pool in classic snake draft chaos. It’s a fun one for a lot of reasons. After the draft, Spoon finishes with a couple of picks for the Monday slate in the US. Follow along at baseballexpats.com. Like and subscribe. Love you. Note: Elly De La Cruz went onto the IL a few hours after recording, so Canary has swapped him for James Wood.

Weekend Best Bets (feat. floors, ceilings, Phils and O's)

Rolsey, Eric and Spoon are back together to tee up the weekend, starting with the early rumblings of collective bargaining talks between MLB, the owners, and the MLBPA. From there we revisit a stat Eric brought up last year around how meaningful May 31 can be when it comes to who actually makes the playoffs, which teams tend to fade out and which ones push their way in. Then Spoon closes the episode with his best picks for the weekend slate. And a reminder: Destiny Draft Round 2 is coming up on Monday. Love you. Like and subscribe, and hit baseballexpats.com.
