Searching for Buy-Low Bats, Banking on a Pablo López Bounce Back & Weekend Waiver Preview Rates & Barrels: A show about Baseball

Eno and DVR search for buy-low bats and discussing the struggles of Austin Riley, Julio Rodríguez, and Dansby Swanson -- plus a group of hitters that may look like buy-low targets on the surface, but could underwhelm the rest of the way. Plus, they answer a few mailbag questions, and look ahead at potential pickups on the waiver wire this weekend.
