On the latest MLB offseason edition of  Inside the (Rob) Parker, Rob leads off by telling us all why he’s so excited to see Fernando Tatis Jr. return to the field this upcoming season with the San Diego Padres. Tatis Jr. is one of the brightest young stars in the sport and arguably it’s greatest showman so it’s going to be great to see to see him back on the diamond after such a tumultuous 2022. If the young superstar is healthy and focused in 2023, a World Series appearance is definitely in the cards for San Diego. Plus, Rob shares his thoughts on Chris Sale returning to the top of the Boston Red Sox pitching staff following a slew of injuries the past few seasons. People forget that Sale was one of the best pitchers in the Majors as recently as recently as 2018 so the fact that he’s fully healthy heading into the upcoming season is a boon for Boston. Later, former MLB pitcher and father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes – Pat Mahomes – swings by to discuss his thoughts on a few of the rule changes coming to the Major Leagues, how playing baseball as a kid helped to prepare his son to become the greatest quarterback in the NFL whose set to place in his third Super Bowl this Sunday, why it’s so important for young athletes to play different sports as they grow up and much more! Finally, Rob closes the show by explaining why the creators of MLB The Show deserve kudos for the second consecutive week. All of you MLB Bros out there will definitely appreciate this one!

On the latest MLB offseason edition of  Inside the (Rob) Parker, Rob leads off with a deep dive into Tom Brady's retirement from the NFL. Football writers worship at Brady's feet so all signs point to him being a unanimous Pro Football Hall of Famer. But, given Brady's history of cheating (DeflateGate and SpyGate), do you think he would still get into the Hall of Fame if baseball writers were the ones doing the voting? If the writer kept Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens out of Cooperstown for circumstantial evidence at best, you don't think they'd do the same to a convicted cheater like Brady? Guess we'll never know. Later, baseball content creator Gary Sheffield Jr swings by to discuss his father's Hall of Fame candidacy, why he was so disappointed to see so many writers hold the Steroid Era against his dad even though he never tested positive, why his father's history of coming up clutch in the postseason should matter more, why some guys have a hard time playing well under the bright lights of New York and much more! Finally, Rob closes the show by praising MLB for putting an up-and-coming star like Jazz Chisholm on the cover of MLB The Show 23 - another 'MLB Bro you need to know' doing big things!

On the latest MLB offseason edition of  Inside the (Rob) Parker, Rob leads off with his take on Scott Rolen being voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame by the BBWAA. Needless to say, Mr. Parker was not a fan of the result. The only thing he has a bigger problem with is the fact that Rolen will be enshrined alongside Fred McGriff, who was previously let in ‘through the backdoor’ by the Contemporary Era Committee when he couldn’t garner enough votes to get in through the BBWAA. Thankfully, Rob has a plan in place that he thinks could fix the Hall of Fame voting process so things like this don’t happen again. Later, MLB Network and FOX Sports Radio MLB insider Jon Morosi swings by to discuss why Rolen got in over guys with arguably better resumes like Keith Hernandez, which of the finalists he would have voted for if given the opportunity, why Rolen’s candidacy seemed to get stronger the longer he was on the ballot, the narrative that previous Hall of Famers have become devalued now that good-but-not-great players (like Rolen) are enshrined alongside them and much more!

On the latest MLB offseason edition of  Inside the (Rob) Parker, Rob leads off with his take on the free agency saga that ultimately led to All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa returning to the Minnesota Twins.

Now, he's back in Minnesota, and Rob thinks that this should wind up being a happy ending for all parties involved. Later, Mr. Parker is joined by 2x MLB All-Star Dmitri Young for a lengthy conversation in which Young discusses the Correa soap opera, why Aaron Judge decided to return home to the New York Yankees, the Philadelphia Phillies' aggressive offseason on the heels of their World Series appearance in 2022, the work he's doing with a certain high school baseball team in California and much more!
