| 0:00.0 | We interrupt this regularly scheduled fantasy baseball today because we have some breaking news. |
| 0:04.0 | Yasi El Puyg has signed with the Atlanta Braves. |
| 0:06.6 | Frank Stanford here with Chris Tower. |
| 0:07.9 | So give you a little bit of an update here. |
| 0:10.1 | And Chris, we were wondering where it was going to happen. |
| 0:12.6 | We've heard the rumors of the Baltimore Orioles, the San Francisco Giants. |
| 0:17.0 | This is a pretty damn good lineup that now features Ronald Acunia, Yasi El Puyg, |
| 0:22.1 | Marcel Azuna, hopefully eventually Freddie Freeman. |
| 0:26.6 | It's a pretty good spot. |

| 1:06.9 | whether you on Camargo would be the everyday third basement. |
| 1:09.2 | And I think we'll still see a situation where Puyg plays. |
| 1:16.6 | I guess he's going to be the everyday left fielder. |
| 1:20.2 | Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. |
| 1:22.2 | I guess the question is how much does ender and CRT play that that's going to be the key question because if NCRT plays that moves |
