Episode 345: HOF, Gambling, and New Skippers

This week on The Underdog MLB Show:

On this week’s episode, we begin by discussing the Contemporary Era Hall of Fame ballot, and which candidates we think have the best chance of induction. From there, we discuss Walt Weiss and Craig Stammen’s hires as managers of the Braves and Padres, the Rockies bringing Moneyball to Colorado by hiring Paul DePodesta as head of Baseball Operations, and Gabe Kapler’s elevation to GM in Miami. To wrap up, we go through player options, which players we think may accept qualifying offers, the finalists and winners for the 2025 BBWAA awards, and Kyle Hendricks’ retirement.
