2025 Third Base Preview

Rates & Barrels: A show about Baseball

Eno and DVR continue their 2025 Position Preview series at third base. If the early-round options end up on the rosters of your league mates, which alternatives beyond the top-tier have the best chance to post similar production? Which players should you stay away from at their early draft-day prices, and which late options have the best paths to exceed expectations this season?
