The Arizona Diamondbacks tried to sidestep an Opening Day starter controversy… but with Merrill Kelly now unavailable, that debate feels very real. Alex D’Agostino joins the show to break down who the D-backs should hand the ball to on Day 1 and why the decision isn’t nearly as simple as fans might think. Is it about experience? Momentum? Matchup? Or sending a message about the future of this rotation?

We also have the latest from the World Baseball Classic exhibition games, including Alek Thomas helping Team Mexico snap Arizona’s spring winning streak, and Team USA overpowering the San Francisco Giants in dominant fashion.

Why Diamondbacks’ Opening Day Starter is Still Undecided
