1. The Cleveland Guardians traded 2016 first-round pick OF Will Benson to the Cincinnati Reds to clear a 40-man roster spot and got the Reds 2022 Competitive B Balance pick OF Justin Boyd in return. We get into the details about the trade.
2. We talk about why the Guardians traded Benson and what they are giving up. We also jump into what the Guardians will get in Justin Boyd and why this trade is interesting. We also explain why this is about keeping a 40 man roster spot free for a backup catcher.
3. After talking about re-alignment yesterday due to expansion, we gave our 15 man protection list for the Guardians for a potential expansion draft, our next six player to protect and who we would draft from each other's unprotected list.
4. On YouTube only in the aftershow we touch on why the 40 man issue shouldn't be as critical this coming winter, for better and for worse.
