Hello and welcome to episode 962 of the sleeper in the boss, it is Thursday, July 29th.

One day before the train deadline, I'm your host Paul Spore, join this morning by Justin

Mason, Justin. Good morning, sir. I keep waiting to show up to one of these and you being

like, sorry, we've traded you to RotoWire. There have been talks, okay? I know. I hear the

chatter. You know, you try to put it out of your mind and just focus on the job you have

to do, but yeah. Yeah. When CBS made Frank Stample available, you don't think we're going

to look in on that. No, I understand Frank's great. I mean, come on. So problem is that's

two hosts. So what is a position look like there? They asked if I'd be willing to move positions.

I said, no, who do you think I am? And so, you know, it's created some, some consternation

there. But, you know, you never know what the deadline I could be dealt. Maybe that's maybe,

maybe they're getting Frank for you. I mean, I love to work with Frank. That's what I'm saying.

So it's up in the air right now, but like you said, we got to go on the field and perform.

We can't be worrying about that. We have a job to do. And that is to discuss trades. And we've

gotten a few this morning, even. So let's just dive right in, catch up from yesterday's great day

and talk about what's going on now. Maybe we'll even get one on the pod. But let's start with

the big one, man. Joey Gallo goes to the Yankees. There'd been so many rumors on him. It just felt

it felt really strongly that he was going to go. I don't know where you were if he thought maybe

it was all smoke or if you were leaning toward him going. But the more and more it happened. And

then wasn't it the other day that he kind of made a good buy on air in his post game interview?

Yeah, I think he knew he was, he was heading out. And that's what I'm saying. So it's like,

um, he does end up going. He unfortunately goes to the evil empire. So his, his wonderful beard is

gone. Are they the evil empire anymore? Yeah. And that's like, I made comments about that before
