In our 57th episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer open by discussing two opposite history-making baseball stories in Aaron Judge and Danny Jansen before analyzing the latest wave of prospect callups and injuries affecting our fantasy teams. Then we do a far too early mock first round (12 picks) draft for 2025.
