Not in Hall of Fame
In this special episode of The Buck Stops Here, Kirk Buchner and special guest Robert Dobek discuss the most pressing question in baseball: Which active players are already Hall of Fame worthy?

They debate which current superstars have built a Cooperstown-worthy career if they retired today, regardless of service time or eligibility.

From the incomparable unicorn Shohei Ohtani to the dominant trio of Cy Young winners (Kershaw, Verlander, Scherzer), Kirk and Rob break down the stats, awards, and narratives that make these active players future first-ballot inductees.

Key Topics Discussed:
• Is Shohei Ohtani a Hall of Famer before reaching the 10-year requirement?
• The tragic career of Mike Trout on the Angels
• The case for Freddie Freeman as the best all-around hitter of the last five years
• Why Mookie Betts' willingness to play multiple positions earns him huge respect
• The controversial take that Clayton Kershaw is the best Dodger of all time
• The legacy of the Astros' engine, Jose Altuve
• Is Bryce Harper built for the big moments and the postseason?
