Effectively Wild Episode 2138: Our Favorite Offseason Moves

EWFI
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the Dylan Cease trade, the post-trade outlooks for the Padres and White Sox, and the incomparably chaotic Padres POBO A.J. Preller, then (31:22) discuss who the best pitcher in baseball is with Gerrit Cole on the shelf, Shohei Ohtani’s wife reveal (41:33), and (49:34) ESPN’s planned on-screen win probability graphic on Sunday Night Baseball. Finally (1:01:58), they draft (or at least list) their favorite trades and signings of the winter.

Meg. I believe you did use “mid” correctly! As far as I can tell it’s a derisive term for “average,” which sure seems to describe the Red Sox.
