Toeing The Slab with David Cone

With Spring Training around the corner, David, Justin and James each give their three most improved bullpens and/or starting rotations. The hosts discuss where the Rays starting rotation ranks among American League contenders and how that affects the state of The Opener. The crew discusses the inactivity of the Orioles this off-season and where they go from here. With Jazz Chisholm gracing the cover of MLB The Show, the hosts pick their young pitcher that they would put on the cover of the video game. Lastly, the trio looks at the biggest questions surrounding the Yankees bullpen in 2023, and whether they are better than they were this time last year.
