Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney

Karl Ravech, Eduardo Perez and Buster discuss the spate of hamate bone injuries across baseball, hitters chasing bat speed, Spencer Schwellenbach starting the season on the 60-day IL, the re-envisioned Tigers with Framber Valdez in the rotation, Blue Jays analyst Buck Martinez leaving the booth,  which players will get the green light to challenge pitches on the spot, and the reconfigured Red Sox. Then, Jorge Castillo has more on Francisco Lindor’s broken hamate, the Mets’ options to replace him at shortstop, Juan Soto moving to left field, Josh Hader’s slow return from injury, the Mariners looking like a heavy favorite in the AL West, and Tarik Skubal vs. Paul Skenes. Later, Sarah Langs tackles the Skubal vs. Skenes question.

Hembo and Buster discuss the Mariners waiting out the market and trading for Brendan Donovan from the Cardinals, why the Tigers are doing Tarik Skubal dirty by not paying him, Hembo’s best pitcher in baseball, and which team win totals look ripe for a wager. Then, Kiley McDaniel stops by to talk about the Donovan trade from the Cardinals’ perspective, his excitement over top prospect Konnor Griffin, players who shot up his board after the draft, and if George Lombard Jr. will force his way to the Bronx at shortstop.
