0:33.2	Price and coverage match limited by state law. There's a starting to become a theme where every time
0:38.1	we finish recording a podcast, a massive trade goes down before it was Lancelink to the White
0:43.1	Talks. And now we get Blake Snell traded to the San Diego Padres. But it's perfectly fine if
0:48.3	it means that I get to talk with Chris Towers about it. So welcome to Fantasy Baseball today.
0:52.0	The return of Chris, we're here to talk about this trade. Snell to the Padres for Luis
0:57.6	Patinio, Francisco Mejia, two other prospects. Blake Hunt and Cole Wilcox, massive deal here.
1:04.0	We've heard for a few weeks, a few days now, Chris, that the Padres were looking into making
1:08.3	another big trade for a starting pitcher and they go out and get Blake Snell. So instant reaction
1:13.6	here, what does this do to Blake Snell's fantasy value? Probably not too much. Maybe helps it a
1:19.2	little bit. It has Tampa's a good place to pitch. But obviously he'll be getting out of the American
1:23.6	Leagie's to be going to the NL West, which on the whole has a couple of really good hitters parks.
1:29.6	But I think plays relatively neutral overall, which is an improvement over the AL East, which is
1:37.9	four hitters parks outside of Tampa. I guess are the blue jays still playing in Buffalo next year?
1:45.1	They haven't had a new yet confirmation about that. They haven't said. So yeah, I think it's probably
1:49.9	better lineup backing him up, probably slightly worse defense maybe. But overall, I think it's
1:57.8	mostly negligible. Maybe a slight upgrade for Blake Snell.
