The guys also dive into the still-clogged pitching market as Spring Training approaches, why Verlander found a home before other notable arms, and what happens next. Plus, some eyebrow-raising developments in Mets camp involving Francisco Lindor and defensive alignment decisions, and a surprising Caleb Durbin move that leaves big questions for both the Red Sox and Brewers. 00:00 - Intro 02:47 - Justin Verlander to the Tigers 13:34 - Marcell Ozuna to the Pirates 17:10 - Caleb Durbin to Boston --- SUBSCRIBE to The Moonshot, our weekly baseball email newsletter, where the FanSided MLB team, including Robert Murray, break down all the biggest stories in the big leagues with humor, insight and behind-the-scenes info: https://fansided.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=b9bb472d0aa5e8abf01e2ced7&id=fa28ec1e24 Got more questions for Robert & Adam?
