| 0:00.0 | The Yankees are getting creative with the closer role. |
| 0:03.6 | We'll talk about that and a whole lot more coming up on the Rotowire fantasy baseball podcast. |
| 0:24.7 | Hello and welcome to the Rototo Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast. |
| 0:26.8 | We are brought to you by Draft Kings Pick 6. |

| 0:39.4 | I'm Clay Link of RotoWire.com here with FSWA Hall of Famer, the great Todd Zola. |
| 0:47.0 | And Todd, I picked up Luke Weaver last night because the Yankees saying essentially what I'm reading into it is that Clay Holmes essentially out of the role for New York. |
