With Brecklyn out studying for finals, the guys gather to discuss the quickly accelerating offseason. When will Jerry Dipoto stop dealing? How much of a madman is Brodie Van Wagenen? Are the Cubs really laying low this offseason? And where are the Cardinals?!

CAUTION: This is a baseball-themed episode. The Team covers a wide range of topics, starting off with pumpkin spice, Elliott's fantasy football team, and Pat Mahomes' voice before finally settling in to discuss a wide variety of offseason topics. Kris Bryant on the trade block, the Cardinals clubhouse culture and its effect on front office's ability to attract premier free agents, Ken Rosenthal and the Mariners, MLB awards, Scott Boras, and general manager "cycles" are all fair game for the best Cubs-Cardinals rivalry podcast on the internet.

This week's show starts off on the wrong foot and goes down from there. Scott Boras dominates this show, kind of like he dominates the offseason. In between quotes from this week's Boras Press Conference, the crew discusses whether the Cubs are in or out of the free agent market, who the Cardinals should sign to be the Big Bat in the middle of their order, and if Joe Maddon is on his way out or just in the hot seat.

The Grand Slam is back for a second week in a row, and they cover the first week of the offseason, talking about their reactions to the World Series, contract options being picked up (or not), Clayton Kershaw, the Brewers, and of course, the West Coast Cardinals. Padres gonna Padre.
