0:00.0	Welcome to the Giants Talk podcast.
0:09.4	Here's Alex Babelich and Cole Kuiper.
0:12.9	I know those guys.
0:18.3	Giants Talk on the road continues.
0:20.8	Laura Britt here in Nashville, Tennessee, where Major League Baseball's annual winter meetings are underway, and Shohay Otani Watch continues.
0:29.7	As you know, Otani is the top available free agent on the market this off season.
