On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys debate whether the Red Sox mishandled the Alex Bregman deal, and what the future is in Boston after their leader heads to Chicago’s Northside. They analyze the Tigers’ handling of Tarik Skubal’s arbitration and what it signals about their long-term plans, including their relationship, and react to Nolan Arenado’s trade to the Diamondbacks, discussing why he may still have plenty left in the tank.

Afterwards, the boys kick off their annual Then & Now series, comparing the best players of the past with today’s stars by each selecting their top-five pitchers of the 1990s and then follow this up with their top-five current pitchers.

This episode then features an interview with former MLB pitcher and Native Nations founder D.J. Carrasco, who discusses his playing career and his mission to build a Native American prospect pipeline.

On this week’s episode of Long Gone, our Season 6 premiere, we’re grateful to be back and kick things off by reacting to the league’s surprising lack of movement since the Christmas break. Then we each count down our top three moments from the 2025 MLB season, reliving the plays, stories, and turning points that defined the year.

After that, we’re joined by The Athletic’s Senior Writer Eno Sarris for a deep analytical dive into the game — plus a fun crossover into card collecting and fantasy baseball from a data-driven perspective.

We round out our Season 6 premiere with Collection Corner, brought to you by Market Movers.

On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys dive into the latest offseason twists, including Murakami’s surprising signing with the White Sox, the Pirates putting together their most productive offseason in years, and trying to make sense of what the Tampa Bay Rays’ actual plan is moving forward.

We also break down the stacked Team USA roster for the World Baseball Classic, and react to the hobby-shaking sale of Shohei Ohtani’s Topps Gold Logoman Auto, which just went for a jaw-dropping $3 million.

Then, we’re joined for our monthly check-in with Tyler Nethercott from Market Movers to talk the latest trends in the card market, what’s heating up, what’s cooling off, and where the hobby is headed next.

On this week's episode of Long Gone, the boys break down a seismic shift in the MLB landscape as the Orioles score a massive win by signing Pete Alonso, while the Mets suffer a crushing loss, parting ways with their longtime clubhouse glue guy. We also examine the Braves adding even more firepower to an already impressive bullpen with the signing of Robert Suárez, while still questioning whether their rotation is built to survive October. Plus, we zero in on a potential do-or-die turning point for Tigers GM Scott Harris, as what he ultimately decides to do with Tarik Skubal could define not only the franchise’s direction, but Harris’ legacy as a general manager.

Then, we’re joined by first-time guest Jeff Pearlman, New York Times bestselling author and one of the premier storytellers in sports. Jeff stops by to talk baseball, writing, and the stories behind the stories, drawing from his acclaimed books including The Bad Guys Won, Three-Ring Circus, Showtime, and The Last Folk Hero.

Afterwards, the boys round out the show with Collection Corner.
