MLB’s Golden At-Bat Rule, Blake Snell’s Dodgers Deal & Rays Stadium Uncertainty, Soto’s Free Agency & More | 43

Welcome to Episode 43 of Tablesetters! Devin and Steve kick things off with MLB’s new Golden At-Bat rule proposal, which could radically change the game’s strategy. This potential rule allows teams to bring up a batter of their choosing in key moments, even if that player isn’t due up yet—would this be a benefit to shake up late-game scenarios? We also dive into Blake Snell’s massive new deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cy Young winner has signed a five-year, $182 million contract, adding major firepower to the Dodgers’ already impressive rotation. What does this mean for LA’s World Series repeat hopes? Next, we take a close look at the ongoing stadium saga for the Tampa Bay Rays. After the team’s latest letter to Pinellas County, could the Rays be on the brink of leaving Tampa Bay? We break down the situation and what this uncertainty means for the team’s future. Plus, we cover the latest on Juan Soto’s free agency, with several major teams still vying for his services, and the Mets’ addition of Frankie Montas to their pitching staff as they continue to build for 2025.
