Seattle Mariners hold the American League West crown, but can the Houston Astros bounce back after a turbulent offseason, and are the West Sacramento A’s primed for a surprise run? Hosts Sully and Brett Chancey unpack the dramatic shifts in division power, spotlighting Isak Paredes, Carlos Correa, and Yordan Alvarez’s future impact. With pitching changes, infield logjams, and the Rangers’ strategies in flux, the race intensifies.
 
The conversation covers the A’s newfound stability in West Sacramento, potential wildcard hopes, and projections for the Astros as they navigate veteran depth and injury concerns. Insightful predictions, division rivalries, and pressing questions about Bruce Bochy’s managerial moves and Josh Hader’s health keep MLB fans guessing. With playoff ambitions brewing and historic comparisons drawn, the AL West promises fireworks—are the Astros in decline or ready for another title push?

Mike Stanton and Brett Chancey are excited to kick off our 3rd season officially with the Locked on Network. We will cover stories across the league. Join us for our debut episode tonight! MLB’s landscape is shifting as Mike Trout, José Altuve, and Carlos Correa are sidelined from the World Baseball Classic—raising critical questions about contract insurance and superstar absences. Brett Chancey and Mike Stanton explore how these developments could alter the competitive edge for Team USA and Puerto Rico, while soaring WBC ticket prices and fan reactions highlight the broader impact on baseball’s global stage. The spotlight turns to Houston as Lance McCullers Jr. confronts the possibility of his final Astros run amid a crowded pitching competition and persistent injuries. The conversation intensifies with the sudden MLBPA leadership shakeup, looming CBA negotiations, and mounting fears of a work stoppage. Plus, Mike Stanton offers a former player’s perspective on the arrival of the automatic ball-strike (ABS) system—will technology enhance game fairness or undercut baseball’s human element? Don’t miss this dynamic breakdown of the critical issues shaping MLB’s future.

With a potential labor war beginning, MLBPA head Tony Clark stepped down right at the start of Spring Training. While this may have been a surprise move, it might be the best thing. Clark made many concessions in the last few labor showdowns and seems to have a laundry list of controversies bubbling to the surface.
 
Meanwhile the San Diego Padres keep signing reclamation projects to finally have their elusive World Series title.
 
And Sully is going to take over Locked on A's again for a few weeks and gives a preview of what fans can look forward to.

Which MLB franchises are under the most pressure to win it all in 2026? Sully breaks down why the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, Milwaukee Brewers, Cleveland Guardians, and Detroit Tigers face a true “World Series or bust” season. Big names like Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. are in the spotlight, while fan bases grow restless and windows of opportunity start to close.
 
The conversation highlights recent playoff heartbreaks, looming lockout concerns, and the urgent need for franchises to finally deliver a parade. Will the Padres or Brewers turn postseason woes into long-awaited glory? Can the Dodgers cement a modern dynasty, or will the Yankees’ drought continue? Dive into the current state of MLB’s most driven contenders as Sully analyzes the context, expectations, and what’s truly at stake for these desperate-to-win teams.
