Pucking Ballboys | Episode 23

Описание: Episode 23 is loaded — and breaking news hits the podcast LIVE.

With Nick still out of town, Brandon and Nate hold it down once again, but this episode comes with a twist: we phone in a long-lost friend, and things get interesting fast. To make it even better, major breaking news drops mid-episode, and the Ballboys react in real time.

We start with a deep dive into MLB updates and roster shakeups, including blockbuster moves involving Ranger Suárez, Nolan Arenado, and Alex Bregman. From there, we zero in on the Cubs — breaking down lineup construction, potential extensions, and whether Chicago can realistically replace elite WAR production.

On the NFL side, we react to coaching shockwaves around the league, including Mike Tomlin stepping down in Pittsburgh and John Harbaugh’s near-official move to New York. We also hit major injury implications, playoff production questions, and offseason extensions — plus one headline you definitely didn’t expect.
