Eno and DVR catch up on a spring injury for Joe Ryan before continuing their team preview series with the Yankees, Athletics and Angels. First, Brendan Kuty joins the show to discuss a Yankees’ position player group that is nearly identical to 2025, then Melissa Lockard drops by to examine the A’s as they try to navigate the unique challenges of Sutter Health Park in Sacramento for a second season.
