  • BIB Vault: Mets Prospect And Rule 5 Candidate Mike Vasil

    BIB Vault: Mets Prospect And Rule 5 Candidate Mike Vasil
    Nov 20 2024
    With teams deciding which minor leaguers they are willing to expose to the Rule 5 Draft in early December, it is a good time to hear from one player who might be living that life - Mets pitching prospect Mike Vasil. Vasil spent the entire season in Triple-A in 2024 after going to the Futures Game the year before. It is a worthy exercise considering players like Vasil often ultimately made a difference on a team's big league roster after being selected - as was evidenced by Justin Slaten, Ryan Fernandez and Mitch Spence.

  • BIB on the Go: Will There Be Another $8 Million Manager?

    BIB on the Go: Will There Be Another $8 Million Manager?
    Nov 19 2024
    Many thought Craig Counsell's $8 million-a-year deal with the Cubs last season was going to make managers' salaries skyrocket. Since then, however, the closest anyone has come is Alex Cora's deal that pays him just more than $7 million per season. Other than that, there isn't a manager who makes as much as $5 million. With the likes of Dave Roberts and Aaron Boone heading into the final years of their deals, will there be someone who eclipses Counsell, or will that agreement remain an outlier. Bradfo catches up with longtime baseball writer and author Scott Miller to tackle the topic.

    Why Managers Are More Important Than Ever
    Nov 19 2024
    Longtime baseball writer Scott Miller - the author of the upcoming book 'SKIPPER: Why baseball managers matter and always will' - joins Bradfo to look at the value of the position of managers these days compared to more simpler times. It's different, but no less important, as Dave Roberts displayed throughout his World Series run. The guys reflect on how the role has changed, and how the financial landscape in paying them may or may not be altered by the historic Craig Counsell contract. It's a great conversation about a fascinating subject. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
