OTW 268 - Final FAAB; September 20, 2026

On The Wire Episode 268 — Final FAAB (Sunday, September 20, 2026)

Adam and Kevin close out the 2026 FAAB season with their traditionally shortest show, covering IL moves for Aaron Judge, Jackson Holliday and Logan Webb, Félix Bautista's return in Baltimore, Pete Fairbanks' season-ending surgery in Miami, and how playoff-bound clubs like the Dodgers, Red Sox and Phillies are managing their pitchers before October. The back half leans on last-week power, speed, and win chasers, plus a sprawling closer-by-committee picture, while Kevin urges listeners to load benches with hitters and spend extra time on Friday lineups, then signs off with a lighthearted reminder to thank your significant other.
