MLB ABS Early Impact, NBA East & West Breakdown + NFL Combine Buzz on Tua & Stroud

On this Wednesday edition of SportsWrap with Jason Page, we kick things off with The Big Story and Major League Baseball’s early use of the Automated Balls and Strikes (ABS) system in Spring Training. Could this be a preview of sweeping changes ahead — not just this season, but for the future of MLB umpiring? NBC Sports NBA insider Kurt Helin of Pro Basketball Talk joins Jason to break down the top storylines from both the Eastern and Western Conferences. We discuss the Cavaliers, Knicks, Pistons and Celtics in the East, along with the usual contenders battling it out in the West. Sam Yarnell weighs in on the early ABS reviews and joins the NBA conversation as teams jockey for playoff positioning. The NFL Scouting Combine is underway in Indianapolis, and while prospects showcase their skills, coaches and GMs are making headlines. We examine recent comments about Tua Tagovailoa and C.J. Stroud and what the future could hold for the Dolphins and Texans quarterbacks. In Odds & Ends, we react to President Trump bringing out the USA Men’s Hockey Gold Medal team during the State of the Union and what it says about sports intersecting with politics.
