| 0:00.0 | Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. |
| 0:08.5 | This is the Fantasy Baseball podcast. |
| 0:10.8 | It is Joey P. |
| 0:11.7 | And with me, of course, is The Welsh. |
| 0:14.2 | And it's you hanging out here talking baseball. |
| 0:16.7 | We just did our All Sleeper team. |
| 0:18.9 | Now it's time for the All Breakout Team. |
