| 0:11.0 | Welcome into Fantasy Pros. |
| 0:12.5 | This is the Fantasy Baseball podcast, |
| 0:14.6 | and it feels so good to be back here on the Airways with you guys. |
| 0:18.0 | I'm your host, Joe O'Riko, joined by Chris Welsh. |
| 0:20.7 | Today, we are going to be breaking down some rookies that you should be targeting in your 2026 fantasy baseball drafts. We're getting going already. The World Series has not even concluded, but we had a show last week. Welsh and Joe were breaking down some dynasty movers. Today, we're talking rookies. Chris, it's great to be back on the mic with you, man. This is a great time |
| 0:37.5 | a year for me. You see I got the Blue Jays jersey on. One win away from the World Series, which could happen. By the time you're hearing this, it could have happened.
