Summary
We start off the show by bowing our heads for Mike Soroka's tornĀ achilles. Should you try and buy him on the cheap in a dynasty/keeper league (3:28)? ... How are we replacing Soroka in redraft leagues (8:23)? Should we have interestĀ in Alec Mills after another fine start? Who are some realistic trade options? ... The other big news was Jo Adell, one of baseball's top prospects, is reportedly getting called up by the Angels (14:35). What are our expectations? How much FAAB should you spend on him? ... Shohei Ohtani is shut down for the next four weeks with a flexor pronator mass in his throwing arm (2!:00). Should he be dropped? ... Other news and notes includes the Cardinals who are currently dealing with a COVID outbreak of their own (22:13). Also, Rich Hill is injured and Jose Quintana is working his way back. ... Onto Monday's standouts, why is Corbin Burnes coming out of the bullpen (25:30)!? How good can Gio Urshela and Mike Yastrzemski be? ... Should there be any concern over Gerrit Cole's lack of swinging strikes early on (32:50)? ... It's Transformation Tuesday (39:13)! Is it time to "buy-high" on Dylan Bundy? Joey Gallo looks like a different player early on as well. ... When it comes to bullpens on Monday, Rowan Wick picked up the save for the Cubs while Jairo Diaz was not so great (46:38). ...
