  • Summary

  • Eno, Trevor, and DVR discuss a few spring news items including ongoing shoulder woes for Rafael Devers, tennis elbow in both arms for Giancarlo Stanton, and a slimmed down Eloy Jiménez at Rays camp. Plus, they discuss factors that teams should consider when deciding to platoon a player and wonder if Kerry Carpenter might see an expanded role in 2025. They also bring the first installment of 'Level Up' giving a new pitch a handful of pitches that could use a boost in their arsenals, and the first 'Name! That! Dude!' of 2025.
