Will Carroll flies solo on this episode of Injury Territory, but he's bringing in some serious baseball firepower. His guest is longtime friend Joe Sheehan, author of The Joe Sheehan Newsletter and one of the founders of Baseball Prospectus.

Will and Joe go way back, and they've got plenty to talk about. They dig deep into the 2026 World Series between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays, how two of baseball's smartest organizations built championship teams, and whether they can keep those teams together for 2027. Along the way, they explore how baseball has changed over the decades, which changes have made the game better, and which ones they'd happily undo. Two longtime baseball minds, plenty of opinions, and a conversation that goes well beyond the box score. You'll want to set aside some time for this one!

Will also checks in on injuries across the sports world, including Jalen Williams, Saquon Barkley, and Christian McCaffrey. From the NBA to the NFL to the World Series, no sport is safe from injuries, and there's always more to the story than the initial diagnosis.

It's Injury Territory, looking at sports from all angles, with the context, experience, and analysis you won't find anywhere else.

Subscribe for more conversations with the people who know sports from the inside, and let us know in the comments what you think about the World Series and the future of baseball.
