| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and barrels presented by Tops. Checkout Tops, 70, celebrating 70 years of Topps baseball cards. |
| 0:22.2 | Derek Finriper, Enosaris, Britcheroli here with you on this Friday. |
| 0:25.1 | It is Trade Deadline Friday. |
| 0:26.9 | We are recording just after 1130 Eastern Time. |
| 0:30.5 | So we've got four and a half hours before the deadline. |
| 0:33.1 | And I am hoping, praying, willing, with all of my strength that we get breaking news during the pod because we didn't on Wednesday. |
| 0:40.7 | And I love nothing more than the Eno breaking news cut in. |
| 0:44.7 | So we're watching Twitter. |
| 0:46.0 | We're talking about the deals that already happened. |
| 0:47.9 | We're talking about a tear down happening in D.C. |
| 0:50.6 | Ever since Britt has joined the show, there has been a surprising amount of Nationals content to talk about. |
| 0:57.2 | And it's not by design. |
| 0:58.6 | We are not only talking about the Nats because that was Brits' old beat. |
| 1:02.9 | It's just the way things have played out so far. |
| 1:06.2 | The teardown is in progress. |
| 1:07.9 | Now, the mega deal, the big deal from Thursday, is not actually official just yet. |
| 1:13.1 | That's the Max Scherzer Trey Turner trade with guys like Josiah Gray, Keebitt Ruiz, Herrardo Carrillo, and Donovan Casey, supposedly going back to the Nats. |
| 1:22.3 | So still some issues to iron out there. And there was a point on Thursday where it looked like Max Scherzer was |
| 1:28.3 | going to San Diego so we'll have to dig into that as well. Britt, what happened with Scherzer |
| 1:34.7 | in San Diego? I was moving yesterday. It was another one of my moving days, like moving day like |
| 1:38.8 | five of 12. So I didn't even realize that the Padres were closing in before the Dodgers swooped in and got a deal that could be finalized before today's deadline. What was your theory though? Wait, you had a theory. Yeah, let's hear your theory. Oh, that's right. I had a theory I told you guys about before the show. My theory was this. The Padres were getting close, right? And let's say the Padres and the Dodgers are like Frank Fritz and Mike from American Pickers, right? The two guys in that show. And they're doing a pick and they're always looking at stuff. Frank sees an oil can and a rusty old bike that he wants. But he starts only with the oil can. In this case, Scherzer's the oil can, right? So Mike swoops in, |
| 2:17.7 | Mike goes, oh, I got to get both. |
