David Ortiz was rightfully elected to the Hall of Fame. Other worthwhile names have fallen off, including Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling.

The Rays will not be splitting their season between Tampa Bay and Montreal. That plan never made sense to begin with. Other potential landing spots for teams are out there, including those close to big corporate money, like Austin, Nashville and Omaha. Meanwhile Lindsay Crosby, the new host of Locked on MLB Prospects, returns to the show to breakdown possible trades and which prospects could be on the move.

The 1980's were a decade of some of the most memorable moments in baseball history. The 1986 World Series, the Kirk Gibson home run and Fernandomania. It is also an era where there was no dominant team and players salaries and work stoppages and drug scandals ruled the headlines. Sully and Andrew Chadwick, creator of 80's Baseball, discuss this glorious if complex era. Follow Andrew on Twitter @baseball_80s Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

When the Lockout ends, there will be a bunch of available free agents still available. Carlos Correa and Trevor Story could be key additions for a contender. Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke could give stability to a young rotation. Players like Freddie Freeman and Kyle Schwarber could provide needed pop. Lindsay Crosby, the new host of Locked on MLB Prospects, joins the show to breakdown possible landing spots for these players and to see what minor league stars could fill in for the teams that lost a star.

Jon Lester's wonderful career has come to a close. Red Sox and Cubs fans will always adore him. Oakland fans? Maybe not so much. Meanwhile Sammy Sosa's bid for the Hall of Fame will probably fall far short. But his contribution for being a part of baseball's revival, even if slightly artificial, should not be ignored.

Today, Oakland A's historian David Feldman talks with Sully about the 1989 World Series and who was actually going to be starting Game 3 if the earthquake hadn't happened, why the A's should still be in Philadelphia, and the crazy genius that was Charlie Finley.

Some tortured fan bases have memorable innings that symbolize their teams' frustration. But some moments that could have been franchise turning points have slipped through the cracks of our memories. Do you remember how the A's let the 2013 playoffs slip away in the first inning of the first game of the playoffs? Or how a pair of 7 run rallies may have sunk the hopes of Seattle and Cleveland fans? Or how the Pirates history could have been changed on a stolen base? These moments and more are reviewed in this episode of Locked on MLB. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Mark Kotsay is the new manager for the Oakland Athletics... a totally uninspired but understandable choice. Meanwhile, we take a look at the top prospects of 2012, which had Matt Moore above Bryce Harper and Mike Trout. And John Olerud had a terrific career, but he COULD have been Shohei Ohtani.

It is a new year, and with baseball in a lockout, they should use this time to make new goals for 2022 and beyond to make the game better than ever.

Sometimes a manager makes a gutsy pitching move in the postseason. When they work, a manager can punch his ticket to the Hall of Fame. When they do not work, they can lead to a pink slip.
