Brett and Darby break down the Fall Classic and offer their thoughts on how the postseason played out. The offseason got started as soon as the final out was recorded in Arizona, and the Rays have placed six players on outright waivers, on top of losing three players to free agency.
To trade or not to trade Tyler Glasnow? While we'd all love to see Glas pitch for the Rays for years to come, it might make financial sense and baseball sense to move on from the injury-prone hurler this offseason.
Towards the end of the show, news broke that the Miami Marlins were hiring Peter Bendix to run their baseball operations department, a move that is well-deserved after Bendix's tenure with the Rays, serving as the GM under President of Baseball Ops Erik Neander.

To close the show, Brett and Darby wax poetic about the defensive prowess of Wander Franco. While Franco was nearly a flawless prospect, many believed he wouldn't be able to stick at shortstop. This season, Franco has become one of the game's best shortstops, and he may be on his way to a Gold Glove.
