Rates & Barrels: A show about Baseball

Eno, Jed, and DVR discuss a trio of hamate injuries impacting Corbin Carroll, Francisco Lindor, and Jackson Holliday as spring training begins -- plus an update on Spencer Schwellenbach and shoulder surgery for Anthony Santander. They also examine Monday's surprising trade between the Brewers and Red Sox, and discuss manager/coaching changes, and the impact that can have on in-game strategy, including the continued shift toward having first-base coaches control the team's running game.
