Alex and Maddie dive into some surprising names (Mickey Gasper) that have been tearing it up in Grapefruit League action, and some not so surprising like Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela. They move on to their WBC predictions and discuss whether strong showings from Duran and Masataka Yoshida make either more tradable as the season gets underway. They both make their fifth starter predictions and give Payton Tolle and Connelly Early their flowers for strong starts to camp, before making strong cases for why the Red Sox shouldn't trade for Issac Paredes now that Caleb Durbin and Marcelo Mayer are settling into positions.
