The Nation Network’s newest MLB focused podcast hosted by Nicholas Paleolog and Adam Peddle is “Bad for Baseball”. Since 2020, Nick and Adam have been entertaining Blue Jays fans with their commentary and live streams on their YouTube channel, Blue Jays Today. But, their love of baseball is much bigger than just one team. The name originated from a columnist who referred to a potential free agent signing to a major North American market as "bad for baseball". As its name suggests, it is the most unapologetic, in-your-face podcast that delivers weekly unfiltered takes on the good and the bad around the world of baseball. New episodes drop every Monday & Thursday on the Bad for Baseball YouTube channel and wherever you listen to podcasts. Check it out - Like, Follow and Subscribe!
