Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about former Mets GM Billy Eppler&#8217;s suspension for fabricating injuries, then Stat Blast (15:25) about players who amassed the most WAR for their secondary, tertiary, quaternary (etc.) teams, Hall of Famers who played with their hometown teams, and uniform numbers assigned to different players with the same surname on the same team. Then they preview the 2024 Boston Red Sox (33:13) with <em>The Boston Globe</em>&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/alexspeier" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Alex Speier</a> and the 2024 San Diego Padres (1:16:44) with MLB.com&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/ajcassavell" rel="noopener" target="_blank">AJ Cassavell</a>.
