On Thursday, the start of the 2024 MLB season marks a three-week window for early evaluations based on what has been seen so far. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a closer look at each Major League Baseball team and discuss whether they are feeling better, worse, or the same compared to their preseason expectations.
Some teams have faced setbacks, such as the loss of their aces due to injury. However, the guys only feel better about one of those teams – the Atlanta Braves. They also talk about why they are feeling better about teams like the Los Angeles Angels (thanks to Mike Trout) and the Milwaukee Brewers (thanks to Jackson Chourio).
On a later episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan discuss the highly anticipated debut of Jack Leiter, who was picked second overall in the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft.
