Toeing The Slab with David Cone – Details, episodes & analysis

David, Justin and James discuss what’s next for the Phillies pitching staff now that Aaron Nola is returning, and whether they need more rotation help. What could the Braves be up to with their recent activity? The group also touches on the aggressive nature of the front offices in Atlanta and Philadelphia. Plus, why Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson don’t cut it for the Cardinals, a realistic expectation for a Yamamoto contract, and Brandon Woodruff’s options. In the Yankees chat, the gang discussed Zack Britton’s recent comments and whether a reunion makes sense with either Sonny Gray or Jordan Montgomery.

David, Justin and James open by saluting Adam Wainwright for his 200th career victory. Coney gives his short-list of expansion cities now that the Rays seemingly have their new stadium. Shohei Ohtani will have missed a full month to end the season. He’s still the AL MVP, right? The hosts size up the Dodgers potential rotation for a division series, which team in line for a bye has the strongest playoff rotation, and where the Yankees begin with self-evaluation.
