The trio wonders whether Trevor Bauer could find himself back in a MLB uniform this time next year. All three hosts give their most important starting pitchers in the AL & NL Central divisions. Finally, producer Dan Rourke joins the crew for some Yankees chatter. Which recent injury for the Yankees is most concerning? Do these injuries intensify trade talks or halt them?
