Nick Vespi had hernia surgery last week, which puts his status for Opening Day in question. So how will that impact the Baltimore Orioles bullpen? Host Connor Newcomb breaks down Vespi's role in 2023 and why this could give Keegan Akin a better shot at a roster spot.

But first, Connor breaks down the Orioles latest roster move as they claimed Lewin Díaz off waivers for the second time this offseason and designated Ryan O'Hearn for assignment.

Finally, Connor hits the highlights from the Orioles 2023 ZiPS Projections that came out at Fangraphs last week with interesting projections for Adley Rutschman, Grayson Rodriguez, DL Hall, and others.
