| 0:00.0 | The trade deadline shook up about half the bullpens in the league. We've now had a few days to try to sort through what it all means. I've got Ryan Roof on the line to help me figure out where the saves are going to come from in the final two months of the season here on the Road to Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast. |
| 0:57.0 | The trade deadline was Tuesday. It is now Sunday, so we've had, you know, three, four games for a bunch of teams to try to figure out what it all means. And to figure out what it all means on the reliever side of things. I've got Ryan Roof, RodeWire's MLB, writer and manager of the closer grid to sort it all out. |
| 1:00.6 | Ryan, we're into the late innings of the fantasy baseball season. |
| 1:02.4 | How are your late innings going? |
| 1:04.2 | That was great, Eric. |
| 1:05.4 | Thanks for having me. |
| 1:06.4 | Doing well. |
| 1:08.6 | It was definitely an exciting trade deadline. |
| 1:11.9 | So many reliever trades to talk about. |

| 1:26.6 | The whole team over at Rotowire here. |
| 1:30.6 | Very busy trade deadline for sure. You wrote an article up as part of that in your closer encounters column where you're covered a bunch of the |
| 1:36.2 | trades, well really all of the trades that involved at least one reliever. We will be discussing |
| 1:42.8 | those same trades in the bulk of the show today. But as always, |
| 1:47.0 | we're going to start with the headlines. And to ease you into things, as the closer guy, we're |
| 1:53.7 | going to start with a closer related headline here. Mason Miller, he's not back yet, but he is |
| 2:00.5 | making some progress as he works his way back from the broken finger he suffered. |
| 2:07.2 | It was on his non-throwing hand. What punching a table was it? He's removed his cast. Not sure exactly when we're going to see him, but I would imagine it shouldn't be too long. |
| 2:18.9 | This is his non-throwing hand, right? I'm not sure what part that plays in his motion. |
