With Ryan out this week, Jaymes, Brad, and Paul discuss PECOTA's team predictions confirming that the Reds are in fact good. They also do a deep dive into the arbitration process including how Dellin Betances earlier loss to the Yankees made a win by Hader virtually impossible, how Suter thankfully settled, and why arbitration is evil, generally speaking. The gang also takes a nice set of questions from our Patreon supporters, and talks about the new free agents they're most excited to see in camp, as well as Justin Smoak.
