Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube The start of the 2026 Major League Baseball season is less than a week away, which means it’s time to make one bold prediction for every team. While a lot of these picks may seem far-fetched—like Giancarlo Stanton stealing a base for the New York Yankees or Luis Robert Jr. leading the New York Mets in WAR—some of these might actually come to fruition.
On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast , Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about their picks for the American and National League teams, which include Edwin Díaz possibly reaching the 50-save mark in his first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Garrett Crochet reaching the 230-inning mark for the Boston Red Sox. Also, is there a chance the Pope will be at a Chicago White Sox game this season? And will Mike Trout win another MVP award?
Later, Jake and Jordan take a look at which baseball players you should consider drafting for your upcoming fantasy season and why it might be best to consider fading Francisco Lindor, Corbin Carroll and Cal Raleigh. They then make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla , which includes the disappointing news that Trey Yesavage and the Toronto Blue Jays just received. 1:54 - The Opener: 2026 bold predictions 4:57 - AL East 13:38 - AL Central 23:11 - AL West 34:05 - NL East 42:31 - NL Central 48:51 - NL West 59:30 - Players you need for fantasy baseball 1:17:22 - The Good, The Bad & The Uggla 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all episodes of Baseball Bar-B-Cast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.
