Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley analyze the latest additions to the AL East: <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/ryan-weathers/23796/stats/pitching" target="_blank">Ryan Weathers</a> to the Yankees and <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/ranger-suarez/17277/stats/pitching" target="_blank">Ranger Suárez</a> to the Red Sox. Then (26:52) they bring on top-tier Patreon supporter Jon Norton to answer listener emails about players who&#8217;ve repeatedly signed one-year contracts, whether they would want to play in an MLB game, how impressive switch-hitting should be, WAR without players who took PEDs, and the all-time greatness of Star Trek legend Buck Bockai.
