The Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza, the Angels dismissed GM Perry Minasian, and an MLB labor fight is looming — and the Sports Chasers break it all down on The Chasers Dugout Report. Objective, no-narrative baseball for the real sports fan.

Host & Moderator Kevin L. Warren. James E. "The Angry 1ne" and MLB Resident Expert Alvin Clawson unpack the Mets bottoming out at 34-48, Andy Green named interim manager, players admitting they "failed" Mendoza, and David Stearns' failed offseason overhaul despite a massive payroll — and whether New York sells at the deadline. Out west, the Angels oust GM Perry Minasian and hire longtime Cardinals exec John Mozeliak interim, with the crew examining Arte Moreno's leadership and the franchise's identity crisis. Then the big one: owners propose contract limits, dollar caps, and no deferrals tied to a salary cap, while the union rejects it and counters with a prop-betting ban. On the field: the hot Phillies, runaway Brewers and Dodgers, the White Sox's 22-run night, Yankees–Rays in the AL East, a weak AL West, and the Rafael Devers–Giants drama.

⭐ HIGHLIGHTED CHAPTER

🚨 Mets Fire Carlos Mendoza — And the Players Admit They "Failed" Him (04:24)

The marquee moment: the crew breaks down the Mets dismissing Mendoza at a season-worst 34-48, the six-game skid and six-error game that ended it, Lindor and the clubhouse owning the collapse, and why the GM may be next.

Warren, Darrell "D-Dubbz" Warren, Mike Mills, and Ryan DeSouza celebrate the championship and the NYC parade, then break down one of the wildest NBA offseasons in memory — objective, no narratives, no hot takes.

INSIDE THIS EPISODE:

🔄 LaMelo Ball & Josh Green traded to the Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first, three first-round swaps (2028–2030) and three seconds — and whether Minnesota's guard-heavy build fits next to Anthony Edwards

🦌 Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat

☘️ Jaylen Brown trade rumors after Boston came up short on Giannis

🎯 2026 NBA Draft winners, surprises & the Knicks' moves (plus Mitchell Robinson's value)

⭐ Olivia Miles' rookie surge & the Commissioner's Cup (Aces vs. Liberty)

⚽ World Cup buzz & a Mets meltdown

⭐ FEATURED MOMENT

🔄 LaMelo Ball to Minnesota — The Trade That Shook the Offseason (08:16)

The crew breaks down the blockbuster that pairs LaMelo with Anthony Edwards — what Charlotte got back, the massive draft-capital cost, the injury-history gamble, and whether this vaults the Wolves into the West's top tier or sets them back. The debate that defines the night.

From minor league hockey coach in Surrey, British Columbia to CEO of a full-service marketing agency, Jared Harman joins host Kevin L. Warren to connect championship culture and leadership lessons from the ice to building high-performing business teams. EP.529

In this Sports Chasers Interview Session, Jared Harman — CEO and co-founder of The One Group Agency and a former goalie and minor hockey coach — breaks down discipline, respect, role clarity, and coaching people differently, and how those principles drive accountability and culture in business. He explains The One Group Agency as a full-service marketing firm (content, websites, social, digital ads, and podcast production) serving roughly 60 monthly retainer clients with a 16-person team.

Kevin and Jared dig into why system beats talent, how to scale systems while staying fluid with new tools and AI, hiring for ethics and values first, and using Donald Miller's "Building a StoryBrand" to simplify messaging and guide clients. They compare sports pressure vs. business pressure and close with a rapid-fire round on golf, FIFA, and the Vancouver Grizzlies NBA return debate.

⭐ HIGHLIGHTED CHAPTER

⚙️ Why System Beats Talent (23:05) — Jared explains why a repeatable system out-performs raw talent every time, and how role clarity and accountability turn good people into a winning team. This is the heart of the episode for any leader, founder, or coach.
