After posting great numbers in the Dominican Winter League and MLB Spring Training, infielder Joe Dunand is set to begin the 2021 minor league season with Triple-A Jacksonville. Ely Sussman and Ethan Budowsky highlight the new additions to the farm system at each full-season level as well as the returning players who they are most intrigued by (4:30). Then, Dunand calls in (24:00) to discuss the city of Jacksonville, competition at the Fish Tank (alternate training site), how he became a more consistent hitter during his year away from the Marlins organization, and what lessons he has learned from uncle A-Rod.
