Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/dylan-cease/18525/stats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dylan Cease</a> trade, the post-trade outlooks for the Padres and White Sox, and the incomparably chaotic Padres POBO A.J. Preller, then (31:22) discuss who the best pitcher in baseball is with <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/gerrit-cole/13125/stats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gerrit Cole</a> on the shelf, <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/shohei-ohtani/19755/stats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shohei Ohtani</a>&#8217;s wife reveal (41:33), and (49:34) ESPN&#8217;s planned on-screen win probability graphic on Sunday Night Baseball. Finally (1:01:58), they draft (or at least list) their favorite trades and signings of the offseason.
