Listen "2025 NL Central Team Previews"
Episode Synopsis
Eno and DVR return to their 2025 Team Previews Series in the NL Central. Can the Brewers continue to exceed projections? Who will emerge from the Cardinals' position player group to take on everyday roles as they try to identify their current core? Are the Cubs deserving of frontrunner status from 2025 projections? Will the Reds surprise us with better starting pitching than expected, but less production from their lineup? And, will the Pirates find enough steady bats to support their young aces?Rundown3:44 2025 Milwaukee Brewers Preview26:43 2025 St. Louis Cardinals Preview42:06 2025 Chicago Cubs Preview53:34 2025 Cincinnati Reds Preview1:05:40 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates Preview1:18:13 A Selection of Sleepers From the NL CentralFollow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.bsky.socialFollow DVR on Bluesky: @dvr.bsky.sociale-mail: [email protected] our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsNote: Win Total Projections for the episode are from Baseball Prospectus' PECTOA system at the time of the recording.
