Since I can successfully SSH to both servers (from my workstation),
something must be dorked with Server B's /etc/ssh_config file (I think). On
both servers, I have no customizations entered in the ssh_config file. See
below:

It didn't even prompt me for the password! Any suggestions?
Can you look at the logs for "serverA"? Maybe you need to increase the verbosity of the SSHd daemon running at serverA: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_options and uncomment the line that reads:
LogLevel INFO
then restart sshd.
If you need additional logging verbosity, replace
LogLevel INFO
with
LogLevel DEBUG or LogLevel DEBUG2 or LogLevel DEBUG3
