Hello and welcome to episode 1118 of the sleeper and the bus. It is Monday, December 5th.

I'm your host Paul Spor, joined this afternoon by Justin Mason, Justin Good afternoon, sir.

Good afternoon. How you doing?

And so, you know, the meds obviously, meds fans were stricken by this. Don't worry. They're going

to be a lot happier when we talk about the next move after this. But let's focus on DeGrom to Texas.

They were early front runners. This talk, I think, was happening toward the end of the regular season,
