Roki Sasaki is ready to make his choice. Will it be the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres or Toronto Blue Jays? Are there any indicators as to who he’ll choose? And did anything unusual happen on International Signing Day to suggest who it will be?

Join us as we dive into the Colorado Rockies' potential shift to a six-man pitching rotation and what it could mean for their 2024 season. With Kyle Freeland leading the charge, we explore the historical trends across MLB, the team's past considerations for a six-man setup, and the challenges posed by their current rotation and bullpen.

Can a revamped approach help elevate the Rockies from their struggles in starting and relief pitching (ranked 27th and 28th in 2023, respectively)? How would this impact the "Arm Barn" and players like Austin Gomber, Ryan Feltner, and Germán Márquez?

The Los Angeles Dodgers make a series of moves to change their squad for 2025 and improve their farm system with the signing of Korean superstar Hyeseong Kim and trade of Gavin Lux to the Cincinnati Reds. Will Kim provide more value for L.A. than newly signed Justin Verlander for the San Francisco Giants?
