Eno and DVR discuss recent progress in the Ippei Mizuhara story, as Mizuhara is in the process of negotiating a guilty plea with federal prosecutors with evidence suggesting that Mizuhara may have stolen more than $4.5 million from Shohei Ohtani. Plus, they consider the arrival of Jackson Holliday and his 2024 comps before taking a look at several minor league injury updates, the early-season struggles of Ceddanne Rafaela, waiver-wire targets, and a few mailbag questions.Rundown2:07 Movement in the Ippei Mizuhara Case5:25 Jackson Holliday Gets the Call to Baltimore; Debuts Wednesday15:17 Spencer Arrighetti: Promoted by Astros to Fill Rotation Vacancy18:16 Minor League Injury Updates: Junior Caminero, Jeferson Quero, Robert Gasser, River Ryan & Walker Jenkins27:42 Ceddanne Rafaela's Ongoing Struggles at the Plate37:22 Good News (Nick Pivetta), Bad News (Yoán Moncada)43:13 Early Waiver Wire Outlook: Colton Cowser, Cody Bradford, Bryce Elder and José Soriano55:30 Mailbag Questions: Pitching+, David Bednar's Hold on the Closer Role, and JP SearsFollow Eno on Twitter: @enosarrisFollow DVR on Twitter: @DerekVanRipere-mail: [email protected] our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeJoin us on Fridays at 1p ET/10a PT for our livestream episodes! https://www.youtube.com/c/ratesbarrelsSubscribe to The Athletic for just $2/month for the first year: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrels Hosted on Acast.
