Show Notes

Justin Verlander Signs with Giants - MLB Free Agency Roundup Today, we dive into one of the most significant signings of the offseason as future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander inks a one-year, $15 million deal with the San Francisco Giants. At 42, Verlander brings his wealth of experience, three Cy Young Awards, and two World Series rings to one of baseball's most picturesque ballparks. His signing marks a pivotal moment for the Giants, aiming to bolster their rotation for a competitive season. Will this be the veteran presence they need to turn around their fortunes? In addition to Verlander's move, we discuss the Oakland Athletics locking in slugger Brent Rooker with a five-year extension. Rooker, who emerged as one of the league's top hitters with 39 home runs in the previous season, will provide a stable, powerful presence in the A's lineup as they transition to their new home in Sacramento. This move signifies the A's commitment to building around young talent even amid their relocation plans. We also touch on Bobby Dalbac, who has signed a minor league deal, showing the continued faith in his power potential despite a challenging year. Dalbac's journey through the minors and his attempt to reclaim a spot in the majors will be one to watch. Finally, we round out our video with a detailed look at the top remaining MLB free agents still on the market. From pitchers to sluggers, who could be the next big signing to shake up team dynamics?Welcome in to First Pitch, a show coming at you every weekday covering what's going on around Major League Baseball.
