Description

Eno and DVR discuss a few potential tweaks to the endgame of fantasy baseball season, which always brings a plethora of odd and challenging decisions. Plus, they look at the injury-hampered season of Rafael Devers, the second-half recovery from Eugenio Suárez, and the limited options available for the final week in draft-and-hold formats.
