Steve Adams joins Darragh McDonald to discuss what makes the World Baseball Classic so great, how Hunter Greene's elbow surgery will affect the Reds, if the Braves should address their roster holes by trading for Jarren Duran or signing Lucas Giolito, if Kevin McGonigle could break camp with the Tigers, and young Twins, Mariners and Cardinals pitchers who are turning heads in spring training.

Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald to discuss Jesús Luzardo's five-year extension with Philadelphia, how the Phillies' outfield will look while Johan Rojas misses time due to a PED suspension, Jurickson Profar's second PED suspension in the past two years, if the Braves have enough depth to get through the season, Zack Littell signing with the Nationals, a trade that sent Kyle Nicolas to the Reds Tyler Callihan to the Pirates, Andrew McCutchen settling for a minor league deal with the Rangers, and whether Jeremy Pena's finger injury makes it less likely for the Astros to trade Issac Paredes.

Steve Adams joins Darragh McDonald to discuss how Max Scherzer fits into the Blue Jays' crowded rotation mix, some ways to increase parity other than a salary cap and floor system, if the Yankees have a tendency of holding on to their prospects for too long, whether Boston's lineup has enough power, if Masataka Yoshida could still get traded, and which players could get a contract extension before the season starts.
