| 0:00.0 | Now here's Frank Scott and Chris. |
| 0:02.2 | The polar bear is taking his talents to Baltimore. |
| 0:05.9 | Welcome in to another emergency edition of Fantasy Baseball today. |
| 0:10.0 | On Wednesday, December 10th, I am Frank Stamphill, joined by Chris Towers. |
| 0:14.3 | One day after Edwin Diaz leaves the Mets, Pete Alonzo is doing the same. |
| 0:19.8 | He is headed to the Orioles on a five-year |
| 0:22.6 | $155 million deal. And let's talk about it. 31 years old, one of the best sluggers in baseball, |
| 0:30.1 | coming off one of his most complete seasons where he hit 272, 38 homers, 126 RBI, and an 871 OPS. Chris, your initial thoughts. What do you think about Alonzo's |
| 0:41.5 | fit in Baltimore? Should be a good fit. I think the Orioles did very well. You know, it's a little bit, |

| 1:31.0 | And I think they did reasonably well not to have to go like six or seven years on Alonzo. |
| 1:37.5 | I don't know if anybody was ever offering that, but, you know, getting him for five years seems |
| 1:41.8 | to preclude a lot of the downside risk here. You know, maybe there's a year or two at the end where he's just a you know |
| 1:49.2 | a chris davis type low average slugger but he's a really good hitter and they got him for a pretty |
| 1:57.9 | good price he's a couple years younger than kyle schwarber he's probably not quite as good overall as a hitter as Kyle Schwerber, but he might be a little |
