Mark and Evan this week break down the signing of starting pitcher Kenta Maeda. The guys talk if Maeda is a good fit for the team and how valuable the deal may be for the organization. Later, the “Days of Roar” duo welcome Nick Pollack of pitcherlist.com (https://pitcherlist.com/) to help evaluate the Maeda signing and the starting rotation. The trio talk if Tarik Skubal is a 2024 Cy Young contender, what to expect from Casey Mize’s return and more. With the winter GM meetings set for this week, Mark and Evan also speculate on some hypothetical trade deals. Is the team in need of Javier Báez insurance?
