MLBTR writer Steve Adams joins host Darragh McDonald to talk about Elly De La Cruz debuting for the Reds, how he will factor into the the infield picture and if it could lead to a trade of Jonathan India or Nick Senzel.

They also Alek Manoah being optioned to the minor leagues less than a year after being a Cy Young finalist and Jacob DeGrom needing elbow surgery less than three months into his five-year contract with the Rangers.

Listener question topics include what kind of contract can Kevin Keirmaier get if he can stay healthy, the chances of the Brewers trading Corbin Burnes and with Marcus Stroman holding an opt-out clause, if the Cubs should try to either trade or extend him.
