The boys have a jampacked show full of baseball coverage and content. We start with covering the Rafael Devers signing and some depth moves made by Milwaukee and the impact of those moves. In the first of our division previews, we look at the AL Central (with maybe just a little bit of bias) and identify the contenders, pretenders, and some division storylines heading into 2023. We reintroduce the MUP segment (Most Underrated Player) with a twist, as Will and Beau give a MUP for players signed this offseason. Josh Nelson joins the show to talk everything White Sox, from the second base situation to minor league pitching depth, and we also talk about his career path and advice he has for people looking to enter the media side of the sport. We end the episode with a new segment called "Did They Win This Award", where Will and Beau pick and ask each other if a specific player won the specific award. We looked at 4 awards: Cy Young, MVP, Rookie of the Year, and World Series MVP. Join us for an episode full of energetic baseball coverage.
