| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and barrels. |
| 0:17.6 | It is Sunday, March 20th. |
| 0:19.9 | Derek Van Riper here with Enoseres. Oh, what do you got? You got the |
| 0:23.3 | dude? You got the Lobowski? Yeah. Very nice. Nice shirt. I've got a plain gray hoodie on. |
| 0:30.7 | Nothing on. I got the cool hat on Lake Ellsendor Storm hat. But... Oh, that is cool. One day early for |
| 0:36.5 | this episode. This is effectively the Monday episode this week, and it's because of travel. |
| 0:41.3 | Eno gets to see live baseball and gets to talk to players again. |
| 0:44.9 | So there's some travel coming up on Monday, so we want to get this episode out. |
| 0:48.3 | Plus, I think in terms of news, there's more than enough news here to run through an entire episode anyway. So we're going to get caught up on things that have happened since we last spoke, including the most recent big free agent signing. |
| 1:01.6 | We begin today with Trevor Story choosing the Red Sox. |
| 1:05.5 | It is a six-year, $140 million deal with an option for a seventh year. It's a nice deal for him, for sure, |

| 1:17.3 | ops out and leaves, they have a future shortstop potentially if they want to move him back. |
| 1:20.8 | But this is not a pillow deal. This is story landing in a good offense and in a very good |
| 1:27.0 | hitter environment, especially for a |
| 1:29.1 | righty who could take advantage of the green monster the way story should. |
| 1:32.8 | Dude, it's the same deal that have your bias got. |
| 1:37.6 | I think I would be a lot more comfortable with stories offensive profile, even though |
| 1:43.0 | the defense. Byas's defense might help even though... The defense. |
| 1:44.4 | Bias' defense might help him age a little better that way. |
| 1:49.4 | I'd rather take the chance on Story's profile, |
| 1:52.3 | just being good enough to get him to like that five-win level a few more times |
