The trio talks Duran, as well as when the dam will officially break for guys like Rafael Devers and Triston Casas before getting into some concerns about 2024 All-Star right-hander Tanner Houck.

Later, they get into what turned into a very solid outing from Brayan Bello in his 2025 road debut as well as guess who between top prospects Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony will debut first … also gauge how necessary it is for either of them to get the call imminently.
