What's up everybody and welcome to episode 198 of the Talking to Chop podcast.

I am your host, Brad Rowland, in a Sunday evening late into the night here.

By the time we're done, it might be Monday morning Eastern Time, but joining me on the podcast,

because it is so late, it has to be Scott Coleman.

What's up, man?

What's up, Brad?

Yeah, it's been a little while since we've done one of these.

I did one with Eric a few weeks back.

I think for the Will Smith signing, and, you know, it's been a fairly busy off season,

at least for the Brave standard.

But yeah, good to do one of these and some stuff to talk about. Yeah, it's still been

fairly quiet, I would say overall in Major League Baseball, but the Braves have been arguably

the most active team to this point. With that said, nothing has happened since the last time

that Eric and I recorded a week ago. So we were due for one of these, obviously. There'll be a couple more of these throughout

the off season where nothing actually happens in an entire week. And as a result of that, we're

going to look ahead more than behind on this podcast. I didn't want to stop real quickly and ask

you kind of what you thought of the last two moves that you have not discussed on the podcast.

It was Eric and I talking about Travis Arnault and Chris Martin last time around. Anything that struck you as interesting about

those two moves that you wanted to touch on and sort of spin forward because I know it's

happened a while ago, but you haven't been able to weigh in this form yet. Yeah, I think, you know,

I liked both signings for what they were.

It's hard to get super excited about two-year deals for either a, you know, a platoon catcher or a seventh or eighth inning reliever.
