| 0:00.0 | them. So Trey Mancini, the Cubs side, Tray Mancini to a deal this past week. Two-year contract, |
| 0:07.5 | $14 million with another $7 million in incentive. So the Cubs just going a little bit of bargain |
| 0:13.9 | shopping here because they spent so much money on somebody who doesn't deserve it. But I will say |
| 0:18.4 | this about Trey Mancini. I really will say this. |
| 0:26.2 | Good guy beat cancer a couple of years ago. |
| 0:29.8 | Really nice story and actually was very good in Baltimore. |
| 0:34.3 | A lot of people knock the team in those years because they were so mediocre. |

| 1:24.7 | prospect for Baltimore, and I would say, considering the hype around him, he |
| 1:28.8 | somewhat lived up to it. Even his rookie year, 293, 24 home run, 78 RBIs. He was good. He was |
| 1:37.4 | consistent. 147, 150 games. This past year have been 143. He has never played less than 143 games in the season. |
| 1:45.6 | That's also impressive. |
