The return of ESPN's Buster Olney means baseball is back! The season starts next Thursday with a full slate of games including the Yankees vs the Blue Jays in Toronto. Which you can hear right here on 104.5 The Team with coverage starting at 3:20 pm.

Possibly the biggest take away from speaking to Buster this week was the confidence baseball insiders have in Aaron Judge. Judge is expected by people in the know to not only skip his sophomore slump but to actually improve and get even better. Buster believes that Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton to hit home runs at a Mantle/ Maris place.

The sad part was Buster feels the Indians will top the Nationals in the World Series. He feels that the Red Sox and Yankees will hurt each other's chances. Here's hoping he's wrong about this one. lol
