We're just a couple weeks from spring training, the major free agents have signed and baseball, more or less, is ready for 2016. So, we have to ask: Which team won the offseason?
To "win the offseason" isn't always a good thing, mind you. Sometimes winning the offseason puts too heavy of expectations on a squad. Sometimes it seems to curse them into a state of mediocrity. Sometimes, well sometimes, it really doesn't mean anything.
Nonetheless, it's a thing that people talk about and this is a podcast on which people talk, so you see where we're going here. On this week's StewPod, we're figuring out who won the offseason. We're also joined by our buddy Bad News Ramen for a Three Strikes segment, we have a litany of things to talk about in our Important Questions segment and we jam out to the new Hardford Yard Goats jingle.
Here's a full rundown of this week's show:
• Chris' middle initial apparently isn't J
• The Yard Goats are our spirit animal
• What does it mean to "Win the Offseason?"
• OK, now which team Won the Offseason?
• Three Strikes with Bad News Ramen on Matt Harvey, Bryce Harper and Jonny Gomes
• Important questions on Home Run Derbys, casting the PED era and Martin Shkreli
