Minnesota Twins All-Star Byron Buxton will return to center field in 2024 after injuries forced him into the DH spot last season. Although excited about this news, Jake and Jordan explain why they’re still a little skeptical. Then, the guys dive into the latest transactions across the league, including Adam Ottavino re-signing with the Mets on a one-year deal, and open up the mailbag to answer some listener questions, including “how would baseball be different if pitchers had to use the same ball all game?”
