71 | David Cone talks Dodgers pitching depth and Yankees front office moves

Toeing The Slab with David Cone

David, Justin and James break down the state of the Dodgers pitching staff after they designated Trevor Bauer for assignment and wonder if 2023 is the first time in nearly a decade that LA is not the preseason favorites to win the NL West. Justin asks which NL starting pitcher will receive an extension first: Max Fried, Julio Urías or Logan Webb? The crew praises the Phillies acquisition of Gregory Soto and pick their top National League bullpens with a month to go before spring training. The hosts explain what the Yankees addition of Brian Sabean and Omar Minaya to their front office staff means for the future. Producer Dan Rourke joins the discussion as Coney feels the Yankees middle infield, not left field, remains the biggest question mark this off-season.
