About this episode
Eno, DVR, and Trevor discuss José Ramírez's extension with the Guardians, that should keep him in Cleveland for the rest of his career and wonder if the Guardians will be able to draft, develop and find enough core pieces around Ramírez to bring World Series to Cleveland in the next seven years. Plus, they discuss Harrison Bader to the Giants, Seranthony Domíngez's chance to close with the White Sox, how zone contact rates can be misleading for hitters, and a few moves they would like to see as the offseason winds down.
