Kyle SontagHOST
We've got a player that has been claimed off waivers.
Kyle SontagHOST
We've got some injuries, demotions and DFAs, promotions.
Kyle SontagHOST
And we're going to get into our main discussion today, which is not more recommendations.
Kyle SontagHOST
It is the first half of our year-end review of all the recommendations we have made so far this year.
16 MINS LATER
Kyle SontagHOST
And that's exactly it.
Kyle SontagHOST
If you can't even get a fourth round FYPD pick, he's probably a drop.
Kyle SontagHOST
All right, we got a few demotions and DFAs to talk about here.
Kyle SontagHOST
Emmett Sheehan has been optioned back down to AAA by the Dodgers.
Jonathan HackettGUEST
So, like, we'd eventually, like, convince them to go to the mountain to the base camp, and be like, "All right, guys, we ha- like, that's why you're here." And it's funny because, like, when we would train them as a partner force, the way the foreign military sales agreement was set up, the Emiratis would actually pay our paychecks.
Jonathan HackettGUEST
So they would pay money to the US Treasury, and from the Treasury it would go into DFAS, which is how we get paid in the military.
Jonathan HackettGUEST
So that any of us, like, touching that program, it wasn't the US taxpayer paying our salaries, which is crazy.
Jonathan HackettGUEST
Um, and it was totally transparent to us, but this is how the case was set up, right? So, like, we'd be up on the mountain telling them, like, "You guys gotta get up on the mountain," and they'd be like, "Oh, it's too cold.
Bill FosterGUEST
and we have four lines of business, CONUS lines of business, OCONUS, SEALift, and AIRLift.
Bill FosterGUEST
So in the very near future, the Army and the rest of the services, along with DCMA, DLA, and DFAS, all of the ability, they're going to move their Army Corps, their divisions, brigades the battalions on the company level from from fort to foxhole all in the jtms currently there's a you know 12 15 different systems stole pie systems that are that are that are used that don't talk to each other the jtms is one system encompasses in one system so fort riley uh first infantry division when they're going down range They'll be able to plan, order, ship, track, and pay for everything in the JTMS.
Bill FosterGUEST
And the folks downrange receiving them will also be able to see this mission developed, unfold, and execute as it leaves installation to the seaport of embarkation, to the seaport of debarkation, and for onward movement, and then used for inter-theater operations.
Bill FosterGUEST
So when 1st Infantry gets done with their business, they're going to get back in the JTMS and they're going to redeploy and retrograde their cargo in the JTMS.

what is the story?
Al Sturgis-MondeauGUEST
So they're able to submit, but I believe Ms. Sade testified that it's just that DFAS – who's managing the payments does not issue final payment, but it's...
speaker_0MODERATOR
So you don't dispute the proposition that they should be permitted? It would be improper to block them from submitting invoices?
Al Sturgis-MondeauGUEST
Correct, which is why we submitted a declaration.
speaker_5NARRATOR
Terrifying only begins to describe the problem.
speaker_5NARRATOR
The Department of Defense's own Inspector General report for fiscal year 1999 noted that the Defense Finance and Accounting Service had processed $7.6 trillion of department-level accounting entries in that year.
speaker_5NARRATOR
Of that amount, only $3.5 trillion could be properly accounted for.
speaker_5NARRATOR
$2.3 trillion in transactions were fudged to make entries balance, run through without proper documentation, or made up entirely.
Greg HoogkampHOST
So some former top prospects getting recalled.
Greg HoogkampHOST
Couple DFAs, Alec Thomas DFA'd by the Dodgers, and then Max Kepler was really never gonna keep his roster spot just because he's suspended and can't play in the playoffs, so, uh, gets DFA'd.
Greg HoogkampHOST
[smacks lips] And the Astros claimed Jorge Barrosa from the Diamondbacks, uh, to play in the outfield for them.
Greg HoogkampHOST
All right, Raj, moving on to the minor leagues.
