Summary

Hembo and Buster discuss why Hembo thinks Juan Soto is not overpaid, why he doesn’t love the Yankees signing Max Fried, the Blue Jays trading for Andres Gimenez, the Cubs bizarrely fielding offers for Saya Suzuki and Cody Bellinger, and likely destinations for Nolan Arenado. Then, Jorge Castillo talks about the Yankees’ starting rotation, who could be traded from that rotation, a need at first base, the Mets looking for a starting pitcher, and why the Red Sox may have to go all-in on Corbin Burnes.
