Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about recent signings and injuries pertaining to teams whose seasons they&#8217;ve recently previewed, the Diamondbacks re-signing <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/zac-gallen/19291/stats/pitching" target="_blank">Zac Gallen</a> and the thrilling resolution of the free-agent-contract over/under draft, the winter of <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/bryce-harper/11579/stats/batting" target="_blank">Bryce Harper&#8217;</a>s discontent, Harper and <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/manny-machado/11493/stats/batting" target="_blank">Manny Machado&#8217;</a>s comments about the Dodgers&#8217; spending, <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/max-muncy/13301/stats/batting" target="_blank">Max Muncy&#8217;</a>s extension, the worsening of the allegations against <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/emmanuel-clase/21032/stats/pitching" target="_blank">Emmanuel Clase</a>, new details about the challenge system, <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/mike-trout/10155/stats/batting" target="_blank">Mike Trout</a>&#8217;s impending return to center field, and (44:33) the momentous, surprising resignation of Tony Clark as MLBPA executive director. Then (1:00:22) they bring on FanGraphs prospect writers Eric Longenhagen and Brendan Gawlowski to discuss their ranking of the sport&#8217;s top 100 (well, 110) prospects.
