All-Star Weekend Waiver-Wire Preview

from Rates & Barrels: A show about Baseball

With All-Star Week approaching, it's time to get a head start on the weekend waiver wire. But first, Eno and DVR discuss the reduced suspensions for Willson Contreras and Cade Cavalli before breaking down the latest injury news, including which players are returning soon and why Aaron Judge still needs more time to recover. Then, Ottoneu founder Niv Shah joins the show to examine the biggest fantasy price risers since Opening Day, explain why Paul Skenes' price continues to climb despite an underwhelming season, and share his latest hot dog reviews from Kansas City and Chicago's South Side.Rundown:1:12 Reduced Suspensions for Willson Contreras & Cade Cavalli3:45 Aaron Judge: Will Have Imaging During All-Star Break4:29  Munetaka Murakami: Expectations for Second Half?10:55 Michael Busch: Does Limited Bat Speed Prevent Power Surge?17:18 Vinnie Pasquantino Returns21:45 Ryan Waldschmidt is Back24:06 How Does Luis Lara Fit in Brewers’ OF Mix?27:11 Garrett Mitchell: Are We Buying Growth This Season?32:41 Niv Shah Joins the Show33:52 Six Picks: Biggest Price Risers Since Opening Day37:25 Confidence In Paul Skenes?40:40 Link Between Six Picks Trends & Keeper Costs44:36 Eno & DVR Make a Trade!54:40 Taste of the Majors1:01:09 Lucky’s Korean Dogs For the Win!1:06:58 Other Bats to Consider1:13:07 Pitchers to ConsiderFollow DVR on Bluesky: @DVR.bsky.socialFollow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.bsky.sociale-mail: [email protected] our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Derek VanRiper & Eno SarrisWith: Niv ShahEditor: Jason Potere Hosted on Acast.
