On the MLB Trade Rumors podcast, we regularly answer questions from our readers and listeners. With the next episode set for Wednesday, we’re looking for MLBTR’s audience to submit their questions and we’ll pick a few to answer.
The 2025 season is chugging along. If you have a question about the campaign, a look ahead to the deadline or anything else baseball-related, we’d love to hear from you! You can email your questions to mlbtrpod@gmail.com.
Also, if you want to hear your voice on the podcast, send us your question in audio form and we might play it. iPhone users can find instructions on how to do so here.
In the meantime, don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
How many fibers are intertwined in a shredded wheat biscuit?
Is there a reason why sometimes a team will put a player on the 10/15 day IL when the injury is obviously going to keep them out over 60 days? Why not immediately go to the 60 day IL? What’s the advantage here? I’ve seen this a number of times but stems recently from this line in the Mountcastle article from last week “Mountcastle’s injury is significant enough that he’ll eventually be moved to the 60-day IL when the team needs to create a 40-man roster spot”. Thanks!
