Welcome to the fantasy baseball beat.

Welcome to the fantasy baseball beat part of the pitcher list podcast network. Thank you so much for joining us.

My name is Torres. I'll be your host today. On today's episode, we are going to be discussing a team that I've told my kids they are not allowed to become a fan of.

We're going to be doing our fantasy focus segment first,

and then we'll be doing our interview in the second segment.

Mike, I'm going to start with you.
