Arrivederci, Italia, Predicting the Headlines from the WBC Final & Britt's Breakouts

Eno, Britt, and DVR say goodbye to Team Italy after their fun run in the World Baseball Classic came to an end Monday night against Venezuela, before attempting to predict the headlines that will come from Tuesday's Final between Venezuela and the United States, and wondering if it's time for the Fox booth to move on from John Smoltz . Plus, they discuss a trio of players that Britt expects to break out in 2026, and wonder if the Padres' rotation will be a problem throughout the season with Joe Musgrove headed to the IL to begin the year.
