This episode is dedicated to every grinder who stayed late, rode the bus, rehabbed the injury, and kept believing when nobody else did.

Today, Lee and Michael break down the 2025 MLB Rule 5 Draft — the most misunderstood, highest-stakes, second-chance mechanism in baseball.

Inside the Winter Meetings, while trades and free-agent deals steal the headlines, the Rule 5 Draft quietly reshapes careers. A player who wasn’t protected on the 40-man roster suddenly becomes a major leaguer overnight.

We explain how Rule 5 works, why teams protect certain players, why others are exposed, and why this draft is so deeply connected to young athletes who feel overlooked by recruiters, scouts, and coaches.

If you’re a baseball fan, athlete, parent, coach, or someone who’s ever felt undervalued — this episode will hit home.

Rule 5 isn’t about hype. Rule 5 is about belief. And sometimes the second chance is the one that defines you.
