Now here's Frank Scott, Chris and Adam.

It's Trade Deadline Week and we just had our first blockbuster welcome into an emergency

0:11.0

edition of Fantasy Baseball today.

0:13.1

On Wednesday July 28th Frank Sample joined by Scott White, long time no see.

Stolly Marte traded to the Oakland A's in exchange for...
