Description
The guys get together for a special Saturday episode to break down the Twins and Marlins blockbuster trade that included Pablo Lopez and two prospects heading to Minnesota for Luis Arraez. Also, Jazz Chisholm moves to centerfield and Aram has his 8 big questions ready for Peter and Jack.
Who has a higher fWAR in 2023: Luis Arraez or Pablo Lopez?
Kris Bryant had an OPS of .851 before going down for the year. Does he top that this season?
Last year, Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil led all MLB MIF duos with 12.7 fWAR. Does any MIF duo beat them in 2023? If so, who?
Last year, the White Sox and Cardinals posted identical FIPs (3.96) which slotted for exactly the middle of the pack in MLB. Which rotation will have the better FIP in 2023?
Bo Bichette shook off a slow first half by going nuclear in the second half of the season (.337/.378/.543 with 163 wRC+). His strong finish gave him a 4.5 fWAR on the season. Wander Franco played 83 games while accumulating a 2.3 fWAR putting him on pace for…roughly a 4.5 fWAR. Who posts the higher win total in 2023?
9 teams won less than 70 games last year. The Tigers, Royals, Nationals, Marlins, Athletics, Reds, Pirates, Rockies and Rangers. Besides the Rangers, which team is the most likely to win 80 games next season.
4 teams won 100 games last year: Braves, Mets, Astros, Dodgers. Will that number rise or fall next year? Which teams repeat, fall off or join the group?
Rank the Twins rotation with Pablo Lopez now there.
