Diamond Dreams Up & In Episode 123 - Who's Cooperstown bound? Juan Soto dating who? College football playoffs
Episode 123
Wednesday, 3 December, 2025
This week, we go deep into some of the most polarizing conversations in sports—and we’re not holding back. 👇 First up, the Contemporary Baseball Era Player Hall of Fame ballot voting is this weekend, and it’s STACKED with controversy and nostalgia. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are on the ballot—will their peers finally vote them into Cooperstown? Is it time to forgive the Steroid Era and acknowledge that those players shaped baseball history, flaws and all? But this one hits home for Armando… because two of his childhood heroes, Don Mattingly and Dale Murphy, are ALSO on the ballot. And let’s be real—it’s LONG overdue. These guys were icons, culture movers, and face-of-the-franchise talents. It's time they get their plaques in Cooperstown where they belong. 🏆⚾️ We also break down the sports betting crisis—players getting busted, scandals popping up everywhere, and leagues scrambling for solutions. We offer the fix that could finally end the madness. PLUS, baseball free agency is heating up: 🔥 Devin Williams to the Mets 🔥 Who Juan Soto is dating and why the internet is losing its mind 🔥 Will the Yankees pull off a blockbuster and land Sandy Alcantara? And if that’s not enough—we dissect the latest College Football Playoff rankings and explain why the entire system is broken. Expansion? Overhaul? More teams? Yes. Yes. And YES. 🏈 All that, and SO much more, right now on Episode 123 of Up & In.
