To begin the winter meetings, MLB Network will exclusively announce the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Contemporary Baseball Era Committee ballot results this Sunday, Dec. 3, on MLB Tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET. The eight candidates who comprise the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee ballot – Cito Gaston, Davey Johnson, Jim Leyland, Ed Montague, Hank Peters, Lou Piniella, Joe West and Bill White – are managers, executives and umpires whose primary contribution to the game came from 1980 to the present. A 16-member committee will consider these candidates’ contributions to the game and any candidate receiving votes on at least 75 percent of all ballots cast will earn induction into the Hall of Fame Class of 2024. Following the Contemporary Baseball Era ballot results, the BBWAA will announce the results of its 2024 Hall of Fame vote live from Cooperstown on Tuesday, Jan. 23, at 6 p.m. ET on MLB Network.

For the second straight year, MLB Network exclusively will air the MLB Draft Lottery Special presented by Nike this Tuesday, Dec. 5, at 5:30 p.m. ET, to determine the first six selections awarded to clubs in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. A lottery of the non-Postseason teams will take place, with the Oakland Athletics, Kansas City Royals and Colorado Rockies each having an 18.3% chance of receiving the No. 1 overall pick. MLB Network’s Greg Amsinger, Dan O’Dowd and Harold Reynolds will co-host the special and break down the results as they air.

MLB Network will profile Hall of Famer George Brett in a new MLB Network Presents documentary on Thursday, Dec. 7, at 8 p.m. ET. With 2023 marking 50 years since arriving in Kansas City, the program – titled "Brett" – will feature unfiltered and raw interviews with the Hall of Famer, opening up on his relentless drive for excellence that earned him the utmost respect and admiration from his opponents. Covering an area that he has rarely talked about publicly, Brett looks back on his complex and difficult relationship with his late father and the impact it has had on him all these years later.
