0:36.4	Frank Stanfield, joined by Chris Towers.
0:38.5	Just a heads up that we are also dropping this in the FPT feed as an emergency podcast as well.

0:49.2	$120 million deal with opt-outs after the first and second year, apparently turned down longer-term, six-year, $170 million deals with other teams to go to the Red Sox.
