About this listen
Spring Training has arrived, but the February free-agent market is still moving, especially for pitchers who still don’t have a home. Adam Weinrib and MLB insider Robert Murray break down the latest on Zac Gallen’s situation (and which teams still make sense), plus a few under-the-radar arms to watch as camps open. Then they dive into the ugly Nick Castellanos ending in Philadelphia, why teams waited him out, and what a realistic landing spot looks like now. Finally, they run a Spring Training “Something or Nothing?” gauntlet: the Mets keeping Bo Bichette at third while Francisco Lindor recovers, the Giants pairing Luis Arraez with Ron Washington to try to salvage his defense, the White Sox’s Luisangel Acuña “switch-hitter” mix-up, and the Astros signaling another move could be coming.
