Mookie Betts is the incredible shrinking man, Shane McClanahan got hurt in his last spring training start, Cam Smith made the Astros Opening Day roster, Braves pitchers keep rising on the draft boards and the closer market got tighter with Alexis Diaz hitting the IL. Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson hit how these stories are changing late fantasy drafts and early free agent periods and more!

1:03:15 Kristian Campbell or Jackson Holliday?

1:06:00 Nolan Jones - Will Brennan may not make the team. It seems like this trade is a loss for everyone except Jordan Beck. I don’t like it for Nolan Jones, Noel, all the other Rockies.

1:08:45 What are we expecting from Victor Scott? Does his addition ruin a Nolan Gorman bounceback season?

1:11:30 Is it concerning that Corbin Burnes is starting the fifth game of the season?
