As someone who likes both the NBA and MLB I would be torn if that happened. I feel like the NBA could use him more. The NBA has like the worst media coverage of all the major sports. ESPN even fired Zach Lowe while keeping Kendrick Perkins. So Passan would be an improvement.
@@Eureca NBA coverage may be worse, but it's three times the amount of baseball . As a baseball fan, I'll gatekeep Jeff from the NBA and ESPN, although they may keep Mad Dog.
Was there a falling out between BBD and Plouffe? Still trying to figure out why he isn't on the flagship all the time any more. Hasn't been a lot of info about the situation.
@@yetigonecrazy its proabably a lot of responsibilty to produce every pod they do. hes every talkin yanks vid and pretty sure he helps out other channels in jomboy media. not suprised he cant do all the shows
I’m so happy that they both are saying how the cubs are counting penny’s it’s been like that for years and I want us to spend and build good teams with us having a great farm system why not we could easily be on top a lot of years but we don’t spend how we should
As a Cubs fan it's fustrating. I don’t think the Cubs will be elite or a true contender until we get a president and GM like Theo Epstein. Someone who wants to play chess and not checkers like Jed Hoyer
Jeff Passan not only is the best baseball beat writer today, he also has the best in-home background set up with those 4 albums. Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Radiohead - Ok Computer, RatM - Evil Empire, & The Good The Bad and the Ugly movie score. All classics.
Every real baseball fan was so happy when Jeff announced he was staying to cover baseball, nobody will ever live up to the Passan bombs that come at any hour day or night.
I believe you mean they don't want to spend money, Jeff. The Mariners definitely have money, they're in the top 10 in revenue. They had a higher revenue than the Mets.
I’m old enough to remember when Jeff passan wrote an article on yahoo sports in 2008 when the Yankees didn’t make the postseason and he was thrilled about it. He even posted a picture of a casket with a Yankee logo on it. Jeff is an old school Yankees hater and don’t let him fool you.
31:36 Passan mentions the Red Sox but not the guardians? 🤷🏼♂️ Yes the Sox should’ve spent more but they added to what they had; the guardians traded away their 2nd best hitter.
Not positive Jeff had the Yankees directly on his mind when talking about the big market teams not “closing the loop” but he pointed how big markets aren’t realizing their advantage is overcoming mistakes. That’s exactly what the Yankees are doing by being arguably the best team in the AL despite having 3+ guys getting paid a number that isn’t reflective of their production. Yes they could & should take advantage of a year where others are spending but comparing them to the dodgers is dumb. The LAD’s big money guys are still producing at levels that merit their $, + deferrals, + they’re in pole position. The Yankees aren’t in that “let’s add this guy and basically lock up a WS in winter” position. Plus they’re dealing with 3+ guys whose salary doesn’t match their production.
Yankees can fix a big mistake they made last year by signing Enrique Hernandez. That would give them the two best players in the world (Enrique and Stanton) over the last 30 years in the bright lights. Combine their playoff stats and they have a 380 AB 275 AVG 33 HR 930 OPS . Compare that to Mookie and Judge who have hit a combined 225 AVG 24 HR 765 OPS in 500 playoff ABs. The fact the Dodgers haven’t released Chris Taylor and signed Enrique Hernandez for 4-6 million is mind blowing
Even if not Bregman, trade for Correa and play him at 3B. He is more injury prone, but he is a great hitter and better defender. And he is one of the best postseason players in the modern era.
I still want Donovan from Cards too. I don’t know if they would take guys like Jones or Lalane for him, but those are good prospects and Cards suck right now.
Did having the same agent as Juan Soto hurt Pete Alonso? Or is it that Juan Soto signing to the Mets hurt Pete? If Juan signed to another team would the Mets just sign Pete right away?
Jeff "Jeff Passan" Passan is a legend. So glad he didn't get taken away to cover NBA.
?…

Jake saying “stretch me out” to Passan is wild
BBD cackling in the background never ceases to send me LMAO. Great show!

I had to google how old Jeff is 😂
Watching him speak is like looking at a 19 year old talk with the decorum of a 50 year old man. 😂
(He's 44)
NEED a tier list with brother Jett
You mean Jeff right?
It's a running gag when he goes on the McAfee show
@@alexlemon749oh mb I didn’t know
@@alexlemon749 whaddd
Buh buh buh Benny and the JETTS
36:40 Passan def got the HSK news there
Jeff Passan is an easy click and like.
47:59 One of the best moments in 2025 and Baseball hasn't even started.
Jake’s fit makes him look like he’s an umpire 😂
jeff is not only *the* premier baseball writer but also fun to listen to, even if it’s off the cuff. great episode hope we see him more often here.
Not doing the Hims read live with Jeff is criminal.
Jake and Brother Jeff. What more could I ask for.
HUGE missed opportunity not doing the Hims read with Jeff
Whoa the most lovable guy in the baseball world Jeff. Should be a great show.
if Alonso was 36 the Mariners would be all over him istfg
I’m so happy that they both are saying how the cubs are counting penny’s it’s been like that for years and I want us to spend and build good teams with us having a great farm system why not we could easily be on top a lot of years but we don’t spend how we should

Jeff the Jett Passan 🛩🛩🛩
whaddd
THANK YEW JETT
48:00 i love Jeff so much.
Having Jeff on is such a treat. Truly the goat
How does Passan not have a real mic in his setup?
Drives me nuts when he's on McAfee and he sounds like he's wearing a muffled mic
35:33 the moment Jeff went into the Passan zone and completely ignored everything Jake said 😂
Anytime Jeff is on you know it’s gonna be a good one. He has BBD cackling like crazy 😂
Godspeed Brother Jeff, would love to see him back on!
Jeff Passan not only is the best baseball beat writer today, he also has the best in-home background set up with those 4 albums. Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Radiohead - Ok Computer, RatM - Evil Empire, & The Good The Bad and the Ugly movie score. All classics.
Love when you talk ball with Jeff
Jeff is the Man!!! This interview shows why on many levels.
The Coach Trev trash talk to start was hilarious 😂 Always love an appearance from Brother Jeff!!
I love Passan!!! He inspires me to be a good journalist
I love Passan coming on and taking shots at Joez
awesome episode, always love when you guys get Passan on the show
When Jeff talks, you listen. Let’s go Rangers
Jeff X Jake is an all time duo
Rage… EVIL EMPIRE!!! Back right shoulder. Nice Jeff. Best band in the universe!
Brother Jeff ! This is going to be a phenomenal episode
What’s happenin’? Jeff Passan!
Holy s*** Jett Passan what a pleasant surprise!
19 seconds in and Brother Jeff is unknowingly talking over the intro music and I'm already enjoying this ep!
What a duo!! ❤
Jeff is great. Love it when he comes on
Jeff fits in over at Jomboy so well…. Always good content
Love Jeff Passan - what a cool guy
Love seeing Jeff on the show again! Let's talk some ⚾
Missed opportunity to do the ad read with Passan
Wow random Pasan episode! What a delight.
37:04 that’s why Jeff is the absolute best! 😂😂😂 Jeff speaks gospel!
Every real baseball fan was so happy when Jeff announced he was staying to cover baseball, nobody will ever live up to the Passan bombs that come at any hour day or night.
Love the Radiohead behind Passan
And Wu tang
You guys gotta find a way to get like a weekly Jeff appearance or something. He’s amazing
Passan episodes are unbeatable.
Bergman was instrumental in leading the Astros to a tainted WS run. Hopefully no one signs that bum
The GOAT baseball reporter has goated music taste
Passan is a Rock Star in his biz...NOBODY articulates ball in general better than him!
Saw Passan and immediately clicked
Watching Jeff deal with that Passan was kinda surreal..
Jeff has excellent taste in music
46:36 that’s a good question Jake
Love Jeff man, thanks for having him on
My god, Jeff Passan is wonderful every time.
passan is the 🐐
Love a good Jeff ep!
Legendary episode
I believe you mean they don't want to spend money, Jeff. The Mariners definitely have money, they're in the top 10 in revenue. They had a higher revenue than the Mets.
Jesus Christ!
I didn’t know that. That’s despicable considering the starting staffs they’ve had of recent years
Shoutout to Jeff with the Wu-Tang vinyl
Great stuff. Thank you!

Always appreciate the great timestamps on these
You think jeff would invest in a nice mic at this point😂
31:36 Passan mentions the Red Sox but not the guardians? 🤷🏼♂️
Yes the Sox should’ve spent more but they added to what they had; the guardians traded away their 2nd best hitter.
I'm just here for the ad reads.
I wish I had Jeff Passan’s hair genetics.
Nothing better than Jeff and Jake yucking some ball
Jeff has so much aura 😍
We love-a-jeff
Jeff definitely doesn't know he is supposed to throw or hit the ball at the beginning when the music starts 😅
48:01 🙌🏼Jeff
48:01 mark. 🙌🏼 Jeff
Bro they got him on!
Maybe when every single other team in baseball says they can't compete with the Dodgers, the problem is with the Dodgers, not 97% of the league.
love me some passan
I love that everything Trev does nowadays revolves around the stafford's. They're going to cause him to go broke LOL he doesn't have that QB money😂
160,000,000 is a lot of money lmao
What’s the title of that ad read that Jeff talked about?
Talkin baseball ep 427 at 2:46
that alphabet soup phrase was heat brother jeff
Jeff "HIMS" Passan

Texas mentioned 🫡
Right on brother
Nice to see it. Like what we've done this offseason, just need a damn closer
Love Jeff but the Joc clubhouse glazing is interesting considering the giants basically reported the opposite
OK Computer
Devin Williams was tipping his pitches to Alonso
JAKES FROM CT??????? ain’t no way that’s dope
What’s the context for that clip Jeff was talking about he goes back and watches
Does seat geek provide tickets for those Dominican games?
Sellout b was the best part
Hopefully Jeff got a text about the Mets getting Vlad 😂
You guys gonna cover the Adam Frazier trade next ep??
King Joe is a Dodger for life

Last year i made a bunch of mariners NOT making the playoffs. And this year its at -130. Gonna parlay that again this year.
Holy Jeff
