42:24 - Chad made a big trade in one of his leagues. He traded his Mookie Betts [https://pitcherlist.com/player/mookie-betts/], Seiya Suzuki [https://pitcherlist.com/player/seiya-suzuki/], and Justin Steele [https://pitcherlist.com/player/justin-steele/] for Jarren Duran [https://pitcherlist.com/player/jarren-duran/], Bo Bichette [https://pitcherlist.com/player/bo-bichette/], Bailey Ober [https://pitcherlist.com/player/bailey-ober/], Tomoyuki Sugano [https://pitcherlist.com/player/tomoyuki-sugano/], and a pick upgrade.

Pete thinks this is a huge win for Chad, he isn’t ready to give up on Burnes as an ace despite the dropoff in Ks the last year+.

Team Kaia
At the top of the show, we told you about eight-year old Kaia, who is in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant. Kaia has been diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia. We are doing everything we can to help her family find a genetically matched donor. Please, if you are between the ages of 18 and 40, text ‘TeamKaia’ to 61474 or visit https://my.bethematch.org/TeamKaiato register. If you are over 40 visit: www.dkms.org [http://www.dkms.org/].You'll get a cheek swab in the mail and can send it in to see if you are a match. If so, the donation is simple, non-surgical, and doesn't require a hospital stay. At the very least, please share this with your networks on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14mfLAbP9R/], BlueSky [https://bsky.app/profile/chadyoung.bsky.social/post/3lo63hbm7ts2v], LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jennyjulka_activity-7324485547752628224-cmpX?utm_source=social_share_send&utm_medium=member_desktop_web&rcm=ACoAAAGAKSsBEgvU1tJzHVnTE4WARi1AbgD5G_Y], or anywhere you can. The more people who register, the more likely we are to find a match.
