Winter Meetings Fun: Jacob deGrom, Justin Verlander & Trea Turner On the Move!
The Winter Meetings are underway! The Rangers swooped in with a five-year pact to land Jacob deGrom, and the Mets quickly backfilled in their rotation by signing Justin Verlander. DVR and Eno discuss those moves, their process for building rankings, Zach Eflin to the Rays, and a swap between the Mariners and Brewers. Plus, the Phillies provided a late breaking news segment for the episode with an 11-year, $300 million deal for Trea Turner.
