Effectively Wild Episode 2138: Our Favorite Offseason Moves

[ad_1]

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter concerning the Dylan Cease commerce, the post-trade outlooks for the Padres and White Sox, and the incomparably chaotic Padres POBO A.J. Preller, then (31:22) talk about who the perfect pitcher in baseball is with Gerrit Cole on the shelf, Shohei Ohtani’s spouse reveal (41:33), and (49:34) ESPN’s deliberate on-screen win chance graphic on Sunday Night time Baseball. Lastly (1:01:58), they draft (or at the very least record) their favourite trades and signings of the winter.
