A season preview, and the Shohei Ohtani optimism meter

In Episode 3, The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya is joined by yet another former Sun Devil in Jack Harris, new Angels beat writer for the Los Angeles Times. The two discuss Jack's path to a big league beat, what it's like covering a new team during a pandemic and what makes the Angels unique to cover. Then they break down Perry Minasian's flurry of bullpen moves over the weekend and gauge how much optimism there should be about Shohei Ohtani after his start on the mound Monday. Finally, the two run down some preview picks, including big surprises and where the Angels should finish in 2021.
