Welcome to Rates and barrels.

It is Wednesday, December 2nd.

Derek Van Riper here with Enosaris, a few hours ahead

of Major League Baseball's non-tender trade deadline. Somehow this day just gets bigger and bigger

every year and a lot of expectations that this year will be more non-tendery than ever before

as teams tried to shed payroll.

And we had some early rumblings of something that's going to happen with Eddie Rosario going on waivers on Tuesday.

We're assuming he'll clear waivers.

We'll talk about him.

There's some changes in Texas with Elvis Andrews.

Isaac Kinear Phile, moving to a new position.

And then we've got a few more international free agents to talk about

because we have some breaking news in that area.

We're also going to dig into some early NFBC ADP observations

and take a mailbag question or two.

Eno, how's it going for you on this Wednesday?

I am really tired because the little guy had bad dreams, but I'm okay.

I, you know, I did have an interesting conversation this morning with an agent about today.

And there's been a lot of prognostication that today would be right word a plus on the delivery that today

would be a bloodbath that there would be a lot of non-tenders today and and so I think that

Eddie Rosario was read as some as like the canary in the coal mine.

I'm more so proud when I, when I pull an idiom out right, you know, that's, that's proper usage. I used the thing right.
