Darren Smith and John Gennaro kick off today's podcast by talking about the future of Section 1904 and announcing a survey that will be sent to everyone a little later today.
When the guys finally get to the sports of it all, they talk about the trade rumors swirling around the San Diego Padres at the MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando, the potential effects of the World Baseball Classic on Craig Stammen's first Spring Training as manager, Logan White's surprise retirement after winning the 2025 West Coast Scout of the Year award, and using the most valuable roster pieces to maybe get off some regrettable contracts.
The guys also discuss Joe Buck winning the Ford C. Frick Award, San Diego FC making some offseason roster decisions, the CONCACAF Champions Cup draw and Philip Rivers' return to the NFL after coming out of retirement.
