| 0:21.6 | And welcome to Cleveland |
| 0:36.6 | I don't know exactly what they call this one. It's the first post... Wow. What's about true rumor edition or something like that? Yeah. We finally kind of get some... We're going to get... MLB offseason true rumors. Yeah, and actually, there's been... And interviews. Right. We have some actual quotes from the new twins bosses to pour over. |
| 0:56.8 | We should mention where we are. |
| 0:58.3 | 612 brew, which I would say, aside from, like, John's basement, has to be. |
| 1:04.7 | Oh, we've definitely been here more than we've been in my basement. |
| 1:07.5 | Maybe. |
| 1:08.6 | Sometimes I just go to your basement and hang out. |
| 1:11.0 | You don't know that. I've seen that, actually. Yeah, we, sometimes I just go to your basement and hang up. You don't know that. |
| 1:11.8 | I've seen that actually. Yeah, you did do that one time. I did do that. I told John I was going to be there like around 5.30. And I just showed up and no one answered the door. So I just went down to the basement. I'm walking around the house and there it's like coming up from the basement. Yeah, 6-1-2, Brew, we're going to talk a little bit with the owner, Robert Casey, a little bit. |
| 1:29.4 | He says he's got a game for us to play. |
| 1:30.9 | Yeah, which I'm scared. He has prep work. Which he devised while drinking at, where was it? Chuckie cheese last night. Yeah. We're all great podcast prep work is time. Yeah, so he'll stop by. We'll talk beer with him. We have, it's interesting because, like, there isn't, I know, I think some other sports. I know the NFL has it. I think the NBA has it, where there's, like, over a week where it's, like, a dead period where you're not, like, teams will make deals with other teams and with free agents, |
| 2:01.7 | but you can't announce them officially. Right. Baseball really has, like, three days, basically. And then it goes, and already. And it's not like, I mean, it's literally, the free agent starts, the day it starts is the day you can start. Right. There is no real day period at all. It starts, like the Monday after the World Series, basically. And so, Kendri's Morales already signed, Bartolo Colon, R.A. Dickey. Twins are supposedly in on Jason, Robert. Yeah, we're going to talk about that. Yeah. So, yeah, there isn't that much, you know, free time to just kind of lay out a plan for the off season because i mean there's |
| 2:34.8 | a decent chance that by the time you hear this the twins may have signed somebody already yeah which |
| 2:38.6 | would be great we could talk about it next week or you know when they sign uh i don't know who |
| 2:43.3 | are they going to sign when they sign uh sestbitis for a 200 million we can do an emergency |
| 2:48.1 | podcast about it but yeah so it's it's in a way it's fun because it's like there isn't, we've already |
| 2:53.6 | had as Twins fans, well, we've had about six years at that time, but we've had about six weeks at that time. Well, yeah, we've had several months of speculation. Right. And so it's nice to have it actually kick off. So it's interesting that Kendrius Morales, who Twins fans may remember, from his being terrible for three months. |
| 3:15.6 | So that was three or four years ago, maybe. |
| 3:18.8 | It was at least three. |
