𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗢𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗸! A daily baseball-only podcast that focuses on scores, headlines and opinions. If you love baseball as much as I do, I hope to see you there - on the Empire Sports Talk YouTube channel! Watch the Opening Night episode here:

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟯𝗕 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 Bichette is moving to a new position, Bregman brings his glove to the North Side, and I have a feeling that Austin Riley will have a HUGE year in Atlanta. Leave your thoughts in the comments! #MLB #BoBichette #AlexBregman #AustinRiley

Kevin McGonigle is incredible, dude... Detroit Tigers

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗦𝗦 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 Premium position = premium list! No surprise that Witt Jr. and Elly top the list of shortstops, but what about your team? #MLB #BobbyWittJr #EllyDeLaCruz #EmpireSportsTalk

20 consecutive scoreless innings (and counting) for the San Francisco Giants offense. Woof... #MLB

Matt Chapman singles in the 3rd and drives in Jung Hoo Lee, officially ending the team's scoreless innings drought at 20. Hallelujah 👀 #MLB

Now that Bo Bichette is no longer in Toronto, I'm reminded that I need to say RIP to this gem of a tweet from the 2023 Home Run Derby. MLB Nickelodeon 🤣🤣🤣

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗟𝗙 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 A good mix of established All-Stars and young prospects. Does your team's 7 crack the list? #MLB #JuanSoto #EmpireSportsTalk

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗖𝗙 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 My list of top center fielders is a good mix of power, average and defense. I'm predicting a big year from Michael Harris II, picking up where he left off in the second half of last season. #MLB #JulioRodriguez #MichaelHarrisII

🚨 IMMACULATE INNING ALERT 🚨 Michael Soroka has thrown an immaculate inning for the Diamondbacks! (via MLB)

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗥𝗙 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 The right field position is loaded with star power. Additionally, I expect Caglianone to rebound nicely after a rough cup of coffee with KC in 2025. #MLB #AaronJudge #RonaldAcunaJr #EmpireSportsTalk

No Empire on Deck tonight. See y'all back to recap Wednesday's action! #MLB

If I'm nitpicking, I'm conflicted about certain details of these...but overall, I like them!

💯

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗗𝗛 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 Is it any surprise who would top this list? No reason not to expect another big year from last year's top two NL MVP candidates. #MLB #ShoheiOhtani #KyleSchwarber #EmpireSportsTalk

I know it's just me, but it drives me crazy when a pitcher wears a single-digit number. It doesn't look right... #MLB

The Cincinnati Reds might be the most dangerous team in baseball right now. 10-0 in games decided by two runs or less, and just scored 6 runs in the 9th and 10th to stun the Minnesota Twins. This team just flat out plays ball and KNOWS HOW TO WIN...

The Los Angeles Angels have committed generational malpractice for 15 years... In that time, they've wasted the career of Trout, had Ohtani, had Pujols - no playoff appearances (one for Trout total). In 2026: Trout looks great, offense good enough...2nd-worst bullpen ERA in baseball...

Time to CLEAN HOUSE in the Los Angeles Angels front office...
