| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and Beryls. It is Wednesday, December 9th, 2020, day 3 of the winter meetings. And to this point, |
| 0:23.6 | I think the Chicago White Sox are winning the meetings, which are really more of a time period |
| 0:29.3 | than a physical event this year since it's all happening online. Later on in this episode, |
| 0:34.7 | we joined by the newest member of the New York Mets, at least at this moment. |
| 0:39.3 | That is, of course, pitcher Trevor May. |
| 0:41.2 | We talked about a lot of interesting things with Trevor, so stick around for that interview. |
| 0:45.9 | You know, let's get right at it. |
| 0:47.6 | Big trade that went down after we posted our Monday episode, The Rangers and White Sox hooked up on a deal that actually happened in our OOTP sim back in the spring. |
| 0:58.6 | Lance Lynn gets traded to the White Sox. |
| 1:00.9 | Dane Dunning, along with Avery Weems, goes back to Texas in the return. |
| 1:06.7 | We've actually talked quite a bit about both Lynn and Dunning on this show. |

| 1:21.2 | or is it actually a slight negative, |
| 1:23.2 | even though guaranteed rate field doesn't play as hitter friendly |
| 1:27.2 | as some people think that it does. |
| 1:29.3 | I don't know. |
| 1:30.2 | I think it's probable that whatever that field name is in Texas, what's it called? |
| 1:37.6 | Globe Life Park, I think is what it is now. |
| 1:41.4 | It used to be Globe Life Field or I have that flipped. |
| 1:44.0 | Did he get just traded from one of the worst name parks to the other worst name park? Blubbed. I think is what it is now, and it used to be Globe Life Field, or I have that flipped. |
