The guys also look at Ronny Mauricio so far and what his ceiling could possibly be.Later, they go long on the ongoing bullpen-building strategy of David Stearns, go Down on the Farm to check in on prospect Carson Benge, and go tough on Connor for “missing Marte” on The Scoreboard. Finally, the winner of last week’s sweepstakes is revealed and the Mailbag delivers questions about developing relievers and the very unlikely possibility of bringing Jacob deGrom back to Queens.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
