Welcome to the Rodewire Prospect podcast.

I'm your host, James Anderson.

And for those that have been long-time listeners of the show, you will definitely recognize today's guest.

Don't think a week goes by where someone doesn't complain to me about, you know, when's Clay going to be back on the show?

You know, why is Farm Fridays no longer on XM?

But with the Reds being one of the big sellers of the trade deadline, it was pretty clear

to me who I had to have back on the pod this week.

And Clay was kind enough to take some time.

Clay, how you doing? I really appreciate

you hopping on. Thanks, man. I appreciate you having me. It's great to be reunited with you on the show.

And all these years we've been doing this pod and the XM show, I've always been on the other side of

this. It's kind of weird. But I'm just here to listen to your takes.

I just want to know what you think, but I'm pumped to be along for the ride.

Well, yeah, this will be, yeah, this will be a little bit different from, you know, the shows we used to do.

But, you know, I've already had multiple people ask me,

like, what does Clay think of the trades for the Reds?

So those people, those people will get the answer to that question.

So.

I didn't know.

Let's keep them waiting a bit on the Reds.

We'll get there in a second.

But got to start with the Juan Soto trade.
