Episode description

"Pitchers & Catchers" have reported to West Palm, FL and Mark Zuckerman has as well. Mark and Al begin with the not so surprising bad news that Stephen Strasburg has no timetable to return. Minor setback or is the final time we will go down the Strasburg road?

(19:00) We start to set the 2023 table and let you know who "The Big Six" are to keep your eye on for this season. This includes Josiah Gray, who is aiming to give up far fewer home runs this year. What is the ceiling for Keibert Ruiz behind the plate?

(29:30) All of MLB is adapting to the slew of new rules coming in 2023. Mark explains some potential quirks that might emerge from the new wrinkle involving a "Pitch Clock". How steep will the learning curve be across the sport?

(39:30) There is not much of an update regarding the potential sale of the team and the hosts run through the reasons why. Last week Ted Lerner, the former Managing Principal Owner of the franchise, passed away at age 97.
