| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and barrels. It's Monday, December 19th. |
| 0:18.0 | Derek Van Riper here with Endo Seris on this episode. |
| 0:21.2 | We enjoy more player movement. |
| 0:23.9 | Do you remember how much last December was a struggle to get through the early days of the |
| 0:29.9 | lockout, knowing that it wasn't going to be a quick resolution, knowing that we weren't |
| 0:34.1 | going to have big signings and trades and different things to kind of help us along through the final weeks of the year. |
| 0:42.0 | It was awful. It was so terrible. |
| 0:44.8 | A good thing we had practice because of COVID. |
| 0:47.4 | We did. We did. That was the true awful year of our content creators and obviously it was awful for a bunch of other reasons. But on this |
| 0:56.7 | episode, we have some big picture signings. We have a couple big position player signings. And we even |
| 1:02.4 | have a trade, a big trade that went down almost a week ago now. And I'm still not really sure |

| 1:30.9 | mostly healthy seasons. I say mostly and kind of emphasize that this past season, |
| 1:35.8 | 2022 was the healthiest Carlos Rodon has ever been as a big league pitcher in terms of a workload. |
| 1:41.8 | 178 innings was a career high. The skills, |
| 1:45.9 | though, have been excellent going back to the start of 2021. I know he pops in the pitching |
| 1:51.6 | model, so from that perspective, this makes all the sense in the world. But, you know, I was actually |
| 1:56.5 | a little bit surprised that the Yankees did this, given that they already have Garrett Cole, |
| 2:00.8 | given that they have Luis Severino there. |
| 2:02.7 | It didn't seem like frontline starting pitching was necessarily a thing that they would go |
