You're going to be. Hello and welcome episode 763 of The Sleeper in the Bus it is 20 20 January 2nd in fact and I'm your host Paul Sport.

Covering a bunch of news. We actually have talked repeatedly about how active the

hot stove has been and it didn't take it didn't really take a Christmas break

obviously it's it's certainly simmered a bit but still churning out news left and

right and it's been it's been fantastic to watch so we're going to get into a bunch of that today.

I'm covering it by myself.

I think I don't actually haven't talked to Justin and my days get so messed up during

the holidays as I'm sure you all deal with that I was

about to say I think we're still going to get one this week with the two of us

forgetting that tomorrow's Friday so no this might be it so I'm glad I decided to do this so you guys at least have one for the weekend and then

and then we'll get back into the real swing of things starting next week but

I'm gonna start with the white socks. They've been very busy.

All off season really, but very recently as well where they've been making several moves including today Thursday the second so

I'll get to that in a moment. I'll start with the Dallas Kiko signing They bring the 32 year old lefty in to be

that probably the number two behind Gileto I would think. I think Gileto,

Kikel, and then Reynoldo Lopez, Geo Gonzales and Dylan Cies can kind of finagle their way into a 3-4-5.

However, they see fit, I think the overall, or at least projected talent of the three of them is not going to differ that much

but I think Giulito is obviously the clear ace and Kikeles the clear number two

Kikeles had an interesting ride in free agency as we know

his start he started his season late last year he had that compensation pick

hanging around his neck which I think definitely hurt him as he was trying to get signed.

Eventually signed a one-year get-right deal with the with the Braves.
