RotoWire Prospect Podcast

Athletics Osvaldo Bido will be in the rotation, right? Roster Resource has him at AAA for some reason… Arizona Nowhere for Jordan Lawlar to play?  Atlanta Will they really go into the year with one of Ian Anderson, AJ Smith-Shawver or Bryce Elder in the rotation? Baltimore Probably nowhere for Heston Kjerstad or Coby Mayo to play as things stand, but they’re both seemingly a trade or an injury away. Any current interest? Boston More PA, Kristian Campbell or David Hamilton? Chicago Cubs Draft Ben Brown now and hope he wins the fifth starter’s spot?  Chicago White Sox Likelihood Edgar Quero, Colson Montgomery, Bryan Ramos make Opening Day roster? Cincinnati Noelvi Marte, Rhett Lowder ticketed for Triple-A? Cleveland How much will Jhonkensy Noel play? Colorado What will Jordan Beck’s role be? Detroit Should we expect Jackson Jobe to make the Opening Day rotation? Houston Who intrigues us most as an OF flyer? Chas McCormick, Jake Meyers, Zach Dezenzo, Jacob Melton, Taylor Trammell… Kansas City Intrigued by any of Kris Bubic, Alec Marsh, Kyle Wright, Michael Loreznen? Los Angeles Angels Seems pretty straightforward. Are we tracking what Reid Detmers and/or Caden Dana do in spring training? Los Angeles Dodgers Who plays more, Hyesong Kim or Andy Pages? Miami Derek Hill is going to play more than people think – one of the rare Roster Resource mess-ups currently Milwaukee What will Caleb Durbin’s role be to start the year? Minnesota Who will be the fourth and fifth starters? Simeon Woods Richardson, Chris Paddack, David Festa, Zebby Matthews  New York Mets More playing time in 2025, Ronny Mauricio or Luisangel Acuna? New York Yankees How confident are we in Jasson Dominguez playing every day? Philadelphia Worried about Bryson Stott’s lineup placement and platoon when the team is at full strength? Pittsburgh What will Nick Yorke’s role be? San Diego Team Top-Heavy, everybody who can play will be playing San Francisco Will Hayden Birdsong make the Opening Day rotation? Seattle Top-heavy depth chart, presumably not done adding. Any interest in their cheap guys, Ryan Bliss, Dominic Canzone, Tyler Locklear, Austin Shenton? St. Louis Will Michael McGreevy open the year at Triple-A? Tampa Bay Will Richie Palacios or Jose Caballero play enough for us to use them? Texas Will Kumar Rocker be in the Opening Day rotation? Toronto Addison Barger, Ernie Clement, Orelvis Martinez or a player not currently on the roster as starting 3B? Washington Is Jacob Young really going to play every day in CF again?
