Another Dodgers Signing, Mookie's First-Round Status & Jarren Duran's Encore

From Rates & Barrels: A show about Baseball The Athletic

Eno and DVR discuss Hye-seong Kim's fit with the Dodgers after he signed a three-year deal with the club Friday, Mookie Betts' outlook as a first-rounder coming off of a relatively disappointing 2024 that included time on the IL with a wrist injury, Jarren Duran's surprisingly-low 2025 Steamer projection, and a few other mailbag questions including one about our previous wish for a 'player squishing machine'. #WeAreScience
