Host Connor Newcomb is joined by Ryan Posner, the Media Relations Director for the Sugar Land Skeeters (formerly of the Independent Atlantic League), to talk about one of the Baltimore Orioles recent minor-league signings — RHP Konner Wade. Connor and Ryan talk:

-Wade's path from minor league baseball to the independent leagues

-What made him so effective on the mound in Sugar Land in 2018

-What led to him signing a minor-league contract with the Red Sox in 2019

-Wade's stuff on the mound and what role he could fit into with the Orioles

But first, Connor gives his three big takeaways from the Orioles spring training game against the Phillies on Monday, including thoughts on DJ Stewart, Evan Phillips, and the Rule-5 Picks (Mac Sceroler and Tyler Wells).
