Evan & Tiki dive into the frenzy of early spring training storylines, pushing back on the nonstop overreactions that come with a handful of February highlights. Is it fair to scrutinize defensive miscues from players learning new positions, or is everyone jumping to conclusions way too fast? The guys debate how much these early reps actually matter and what fans should realistically take from them.
They also address the growing noise surrounding Pete Alonso’s hot start in a new uniform, questioning whether every home run needs to become a referendum on his departure. Plus, Jazz Chisholm’s bold public goals for the season and his eye-popping contract aspirations spark a conversation about what kind of year it would actually take to earn that payday and whether it would make him impossible to keep long term.
