Players That Can Still Move the 2025 Needle Sep 17, 2024

Show notes

Because of his late start to the season and uneven results after returning from injury, it's difficult to put a 2025 value on Gerrit Cole, so his remaining starts in the regular season and playoffs will hopefully reveal more to us. Who else can we learn more from in the AL? Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson tackle that topic.
