| 0:00.0 | Now here's Frank Scott and Chris. |
| 0:05.3 | Oh baby, the winter meetings are off to a hot start. |
| 0:08.6 | Welcome in to an emergency edition of Fantasy Baseball today on Monday, December 5th. |
| 0:13.5 | Frank Samful's join by Scott White and this time we've got two massive signings. |
