Summary

We are under a month until Opening Day as Spring Training is in full swing. Mark & Al begin with wondering when the Nats will begin making cuts down in Florida. They then focus on another setback for Carter Kieboom, who missed all of 2022 due to Tommy John surgery. (17:30) Over the weekend, Josiah Gray and Cade Cavalli each took the mound. Mark explains what Davey Martinez is looking for when the young pitchers have spring outings. (22:45) James Wood, one of the top prospects acquired in the Juan Soto trade, saw Grapefruit League action recently. Hear what to expect form his as 2023 gets underway. Wood is OFer who attended St. John's College High School in D.C. (29:35) According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman, the Padres are looking into locking up Juan Soto to a long-term extension; as part of their continued spending spree. This would stand in stark contrast to what we had been told for years that Soto is happy to wait until he becomes a Free Agency after the 2024 season. What are the chances this comes to be?
