March 2nd, 2013; Josh Rudd's New Office

It's currently Josh Rudd's first day in his new office. Rudd was just looking around, thinking about his journey off how he got to become a owner of a Major League team. Andrew Dewitt walks in the room.

Well, as a matter of fact... not yet

Rudd goes and gets someone to call in Giancarlo Stanton for a 1-on-1 meeting. After a few minutes Stanton comes in.

Stanton takes a seat in a chair right by Josh Rudd's desk.

Now, most of the guys on this team are probably on the hot seat to be dealt, but I'm giving you the opportunity. I want you to be the example here for a long-time to come.

Stanton looks stunned. He doesn't talk for almost 5 minutes.
