Hello and welcome to episode 1464 of The Sleeper in the Bus.

It is Friday, January 16th.

I'm your host Paul Sporer, joined this morning by Justin Mason.

Justin, good morning.

I mean, is it really, is it really a good morning?

Or is it just another day in the pits of hell of being a Giants fan watching the Dodgers sign.

Every guy.

It's not even just Dodgers fans now either.

I think it's the whole league.

They are truly the evil empire.

This is very reminiscent of the Yankees.

And as my father would say, I'm not angry.

I'm just disappointed. Dude, that kind of came out of nowhere. Now, admittedly, I have been trying to follow less of the every millisecond of the hot stove to chase every rumor. So I wasn't in on every little inkling of a rumor. But I didn't have the Dodgers, really.

Like it seemed like the J's.

In my chat, I think on Monday, like, someone asked me, like, where's Kyle Tucker going to sign?

And I said, I hate to say it, but I think the Dodgers.

Like they have a position that can put him in and they have the most, well, they were, they're willing to spend the most money.

Yeah, well, and of course, you know, the contract is very interesting.

Four years, 240, this is, I actually love this.

This is what I try to emulate, like when I'm nerding out in OTP as a GM, because I don't want to give

the seven, eight years, right? And I understand players want the certainty. So that's that push,

pull, but they went four to 240 deferrals, opt out after 27. So he has to play two years there
