Welcome to Episode 56 of Tablesetters! This week, we’re diving deep into the latest MLB news, including Hall of Fame inductions, major signings, and updates from key teams as the offseason continues.

We kick things off with the exciting news of Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Ichiro’s near-unanimous selection, Sabathia’s dominant career, and Wagner’s elite closer status make this a class to remember. We reflect on their legendary careers and what their inductions mean for the game of baseball.

Next, we break down the Blue Jays' big offseason move, signing Anthony Santander to a five-year, $92.5 million deal. We discuss how this addition strengthens Toronto’s lineup, adds power, and creates flexibility, as well as the team's remaining potential targets despite the hefty contract.

On the Dodgers’ front, we analyze the state of their bullpen, including Michael Kopech’s forearm inflammation and the team's cautious approach as they bolster their relief options with Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates, and Blake Treinen. We explore the depth and flexibility they have in place to maintain a strong bullpen and cover potential injuries.
