Spring Training is in full swing, and the Team of Rivals Podcast is back with all the takes you didn't know you needed. This week we cover:
• This year's Cardinals Hall of Fame ballot — who joins Albert and Yadi in September?
• Pete Crow-Armstrong's debut as a villain in Dodgers territory
• What to do with a potentially "empty" Soldier Field
• ABS first impressions

Plus, Ron delivers his always-inevitable Soccer Minute, and Elliott… quietly disappears once the recording light goes off.

Baseball is back. The Cubs and Cardinals will throw their first pitches in anger tomorrow, optimism is in the air, and we are all pretending that whatever happens in Arizona and Florida over the next six weeks will not emotionally ruin our summers.

Tonight on the Team of Rivals Podcast:
⚾ FINALLY, baseball returns tomorrow
👨‍👦 A completely normal and healthy discussion about our love for large adult sons (Pozo/MoBaller edition)
🏟️ The Chicago Bears advance the ball to "the half-yard-line" of their increasingly likely move to Northwest Indiana
⚽ Ron might get aggressively out over his skis after Newcastle embarrassed Qarabağ

Plus: offseason delusions, civic brinksmanship, and the usual refusal to stay on topic for more than four consecutive minutes.

Are we really doing this?

Yes. Yes, we are.

This week is a buffet episode.
Will we talk about PECOTA projections and why spreadsheets continue to attack your favorite team? Probably.

Will we mock "best shape of my life" season in Spring Training? Feels inevitable.

Nick Castellanos? Kris Bryant's annual injury update? The Chicago stadium saga now featuring Iowa? The preseason #8 Bears? Newcastle winning while Thomas Frank… does not?

All possible. None promised.

This is that time of year where optimism is undefeated, renderings look incredible, power rankings mean everything, and we convince ourselves it's different this time.

We'll attempt structure. We make no guarantees.

Come hungry.
