The conversation revolves around various players and their potential value, with an emphasis on their performance, potential, and strategic considerations for the upcoming season.

He recommends adding Kyle Harrison and Lambert, and discusses the potential of Jordan Hicks, despite his high WHIP. The discussion also covers the injury concerns of Corbin Carroll and the potential impact on Waldschmidt's playing time.
The conversation also touches on the trade deadline, with Zimmerman suggesting that players like King and Alcantara are unlikely to be traded. He also advises following trade lists and making strategic decisions based on the likelihood of trades.
