0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand 20 of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Tuesday, March 4th, 2025. It is the day after a
0:26.8	stunning announcement. The Masson dispute is over. The masson dispute between the nationals and
0:35.0	Orioles. The masson dispute, which had raged since April 2012, which had led to
0:39.9	countless court battles and who knows how much illegal fees. The Masson dispute, which was as long
0:45.7	as it was absurd, was as tedious as it was ridiculous. The Masson dispute now is over. Joint

2:02.9	as we'll speak with Rob Louder, the host of the 49ers podcast, Striking Gold. We spoke to Grant
2:09.1	Cohn before the trade. We're speaking with Rob Louder after the trade. It to me is important
2:14.1	to get as good of a grasp as we can on what exactly was the deal between Samuel
