We are just over a week away from discovering the new members of the Baseball Hall of Fame class of 2025. Among the potential inductees, there is one player making his tenth and final bid for entry into the prestigious club.
In this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, hosts Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman delve into the chances of Ichiro Suzuki achieving a historic 100% vote as a position player, the Hall of Fame prospects for CC Sabathia, and whether Billy Wagner will finally receive the nod on his last opportunity. With the official announcement set for January 21st, the anticipation is building.
Additionally, the duo tackles a variety of fan questions in the BBQ Mailbag segment, addressing topics such as Justin Verlander’s affinity for the color orange, the diminishing frequency of inside-the-park home runs, and the potential for adding excitement to the Home Run Derby with a touch of mystery. They also provide updates on Roki Sasaki’s free agency and discuss the resurgence of the reliever market following Jeff Hoffman’s signing with the Toronto Blue Jays.
