Eno, Britt and DVR discuss the outlook for the 2023 Trade Deadline including several teams that have fallen below 5.0% playoff odds. Are the White Sox uniquely positioned to make waves with an underachieving roster this summer? Could the Guardians address their lack of power by finding a deal for Eloy Jiménez? How aggressive should the Orioles be in the loaded AL East? Will this be another year that prompts the Dodgers to deal for an impact starting pitcher? And, will the D-backs be content to upgrade their bullpen while letting their young core do the heavy lifting in a bid to reach the postseason?

I was wondering if they were ever going to get around to talking about other teams than just the Dodgers. if you want to skip them drooling iver the Dodgers, you have to skip the first 15 minutes of this 51 minute show.
