    Sitting Down With This Season's Best Starting Pitching Free Agent Signing: Nick Martinez

    There were a lot of starting pitching free agent acquisitions that worked out this season (Dylan Cease, Ranger Suarez, Michael King), some that were just OK (Framber Valdez, Shota Imanaga), and others that didn't hit the mark (Chris Bassitt. Zac Gallen). But maybe the best of the bunch when it came to value and production was our guest, Nick Martinez, the Rays' starter who has found himself a suddenly impressive career trajectory. Bradfo sits down with Nick to talk about his season, while also catching up with Red Sox farm director Brian Abraham, who explains his job this time of year along with a quality clubhouse celebration story.

That's the case thanks to Bradfo's conversation with the first Brazilian-born Division 1 college baseball player and veteran of the 2026 World Baseball Classic, Caio Araujo. The pitcher tells his inspiring story of falling in love with baseball as a young boy in Brazil, overcoming a horrific eye injury and landing on the same field of the likes of Aaron Judge thanks to an unexpected journey to the WBC. It's also a great lesson when it comes to not giving up your dream, both as a youngster and into adulthood. It's a story of inspiration and education.

    BIB Vault: The Harsh Realities Of The Postseason, With Chris Bassitt

    Just because you make the postseason doesn't mean you will remember the season as a success. That's a reality Chris Bassitt wants to remind us. A year ago, the now-Orioles starter returned to the podcast, sitting down with Bradfo to talk about the hard and sometimes cold reality that comes with living life as a postseason participant. He also explains exactly why he took the approach he did when it comes to going on the injured list in the final days of the regular season. It's always good stuff with Chris.

    Sitting Down With Potential Hall-Of-Famer Craig Kimbrel

    The end of any season means so many things to so many players. For some, it is the t-shirt gun that is launching them into the postseason (or postseason consideration). For others, it is defining their existence heading into the following campaign. That's where Craig Kimbrel can relate. After updating all the playoff races, Bradfo sits down with the Royals reliever, who finds himself evolving as a 38-year-old who is firmly in the conversation for entrance into Cooperstown. It's a great look at a pitcher who isn't ready to put his storied career in the rearview mirror quite yet.
