About this episode
In this episode of The On Deck Podcast, we break down the Yankees' rotation crisis after Gerrit Cole’s injury, leaving major question marks as Opening Day approaches. Giancarlo Stanton’s ongoing elbow issues now threaten to require surgery, further depleting New York’s lineup depth. Over in Baltimore, Grayson Rodriguez’s injury adds more concerns to an already thin Orioles starting rotation. Meanwhile, the Sacramento A’s get a bright spot as they lock up Lawrence Butler with an extension, signalling hope for the franchise’s future. The Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. remain far apart on a massive 14–15 year, $500–600 million contract, raising uncertainty about his long-term stay in Toronto. Lastly, former outfielder Tyler Naquin attempts an MLB comeback with the Guardians—not as a hitter, but as a pitcher, in one of the most unexpected storylines of the spring.
