| 0:00.0 | Now here's Frank Scott and Chris. |
| 0:02.2 | And just like that, the floodgates are open. |
| 0:04.9 | Welcome into an emergency edition of Fantasy Baseball today on Tuesday, December 9th. |
| 0:09.7 | I am Frank Stamphill, joined by Chris Towers. |
| 0:13.0 | All right, winter meetings, I see you. |
| 0:14.7 | We got two massive deals out of nowhere. |
| 0:17.8 | Edwin Diaz is leaving the Mets to join the Dodgers on a three-year $69 million deal, |
| 0:24.4 | and Kyle Schwerber is returning to the Phillies on a five-year, $150 million deal. The rich get richer. |
| 0:31.5 | Let's start with Edwin Diaz, who is arguably the best reliever in all of baseball. Last season, a 163 ERA, a 0.87 whip, over 13K per 9. |
| 0:42.6 | The Dodgers for as great as they are, this was a position of need, believe it or not. |
| 0:47.9 | Just last night, Chris, we were talking about Mason Miller. |
| 0:50.4 | We got confirmation he will be in the Padres bullpen next season as their closer and we said that he should be the top closer drafted. Has that changed? What do you think? Mason Miller or Edwin Diaz for next season? |
| 1:02.0 | I would still take Mason Miller. I think the skills are a teeny tiny bit stronger, but more than that, Edwin Diaz is better than Tanner Scott and is more established as a closer and all of the things that you would want. |
| 1:15.8 | But Tanner Scott is a year, about 10 months, I think, removed from signing a $72 million contract with the Dodgers, where he got, what, 20 saves, 23 saves last season, lost his job multiple |
| 1:30.2 | times, including in the highest pressure moments of the season. |
| 1:36.0 | I think there's job security risk for Edwin Diaz on a team like the Dodgers. |
| 1:40.1 | This is a team that for as much as the bullpen was a problem for them last season, |
| 1:46.2 | and this is all relatively speaking, there are still multiple closer caliber relievers in this Dodgers bullpen. |
| 1:53.7 | And for as good as Edwin Diaz is when he's locked in, |
| 1:58.3 | 2022, he had the third highest strikeout rate in baseball history. |
| 2:01.9 | He had a 163 ERA last year. |
| 2:05.0 | He could be a little shaky at times. |
