Hello, everybody and happy Friday. This is Rates in Barrels. I'm Al Malker. It is Friday, September 22nd.

And has been the case for the last several weeks.

I am here with Enosaris.

And this is the final weekend preview show.

We will be doing another Friday Rates and Burials a week from now.

But this is obviously, if you check your calendar,

the last time that will be able to preview waivers and just talk about fantasy baseball for the week ahead. So we'll be doing,

I guess, more of kind of like a retrospective type of thing next week. That'll be fun.

But, you know, we got, you know, one more week of fantasy to try to

figure out here. And one thing I want to talk about is what approach you take to Fab and maybe to

roster construction in this final week. Because I do think, well, I know it's a different week.

We all know it's a unique part of the season and different rules apply.

So we'll talk about that.

But we'll also talk about some players to target.

And there's also a few big news items.

So that seems like the place to start.

So let's go there.

And we'll start with the news that just broke a little while here ago on Friday morning.

Max Freed going to the IL with a blister, and that's going to end his regular season,

but only 14 starts this year for Freed.

So I guess there's a couple of angles, Darius Vines that would appear would be the most likely candidate

since he's being called up to Phil Freed spot. So there's the short-term issue to talk about.
