Episode Details

Catcher Edgar Quero and Drew Romo are struggling mightily with Kyle Teel out. The idea has been proposed by FanSided that the White Sox should go out and trade for Adley Rutschman. Host Todd Welter unpacks the Orioles’ reluctance to move Rutschman and why GM Chris Getz may favor more attainable targets like Gary Sánchez or Carson Kelly. 

Welter then discusses who is likely the next player to get designated for assignment and answers mailbag questions.
