OTW 272 - 2027 Opportunity Knocking: NL East
On The Wire Episode 272 — Opportunity Knocking: NL EastAfter a short scheduling break, Adam and Kevin continue “Opportunity Knocking” in the NL East, the division they've found the most fun so far. Big themes include Francisco Lindor’s sliding ADP, the Mets’ rotation rebuild, a wide-open Marlins closer job, Acuña vs. Harris in drafts, and how deep first base runs. Kevin also points out that Steamer projections, now out, value James Wood as a top-five hitter.Welcome and Introduction 0:00-5:00Adam and Kevin return to the series with three divisions leftNew York Mets 5:00-20:00First base is the one lineup hole; Lindor is a draft-day bargainPlayers Discussed: Jorge Polanco, Jared Young, Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, Bo Bichette, Josh Bell, Jake BauersRotation needs a big signing behind McLean; Senga likely returns to the bullpenPlayers Discussed: Nolan McLean, Kodai Senga, Christian Scott, Jonah Tong, Devin Williams, Tylor Megill, Sonny GrayMiami Marlins 20:00-35:00Fairbanks departs, leaving an open closer jobPlayers Discussed: Pete Fairbanks, Calvin Faucher, Kenley Jansen, Max Meyer, Sandy Alcantara, Robby SnellingA fun lineup with value up and down the orderPlayers Discussed: Otto Lopez, Heriberto Hernández, Kyle Stowers, Griffin Conine, Jakob Marsee, Esteury Ruiz, Javier SanojaAtlanta Braves 35:00-1:00:00Shortstop is the biggest need, with a Dubón reunion likelyPlayers Discussed: Mauricio Dubón, Jim Jarvis, J.P.
