    The Incredible Journey Of Brazilian Baseball Player Caio Araujo

    Every once in a while, we are reminded how powerful baseball can be in so many ways, in so many places. That's the case thanks to Bradfo's conversation with the first Brazilian-born Division 1 college baseball player and veteran of the 2026 World Baseball Classic, Caio Araujo. The pitcher tells his inspiring story of falling in love with baseball as a young boy in Brazil, overcoming a horrific eye injury and landing on the same field of the likes of Aaron Judge thanks to an unexpected journey to the WBC. It's also a great lesson when it comes to not giving up your dream, both as a youngster and into adulthood. It's a story of inspiration and education. It's time for you to meet the pride of Brazilian baseball, Caio Araujo.

And how about for those covering the last month of the season, all the way until November? Well, Bradfo and longtime MLB columnist and current LinkedIn sports editor John Tomase use their years of experience to paint the postseason picture.

    BIB Vault: The Harsh Realities Of The Postseason, With Chris Bassitt

    Sitting Down With Potential Hall-Of-Famer Craig Kimbrel

    The end of any season means so many things to so many players. For some, it is the t-shirt gun that is launching them into the postseason (or postseason consideration). For others, it is defining their existence heading into the following campaign. That's where Craig Kimbrel can relate. After updating all the playoff races, Bradfo sits down with the Royals reliever, who finds himself evolving as a 38-year-old who is firmly in the conversation for entrance into Cooperstown. It's a great look at a pitcher who isn't ready to put his storied career in the rearview mirror quite yet.
