00:00I'm starting to worry for baseball.
00:03This signing is not going to get done at the winter meetings and we're right back where
00:05we were.
00:06And I was pretty confident that this was going to be wrapped up at the winter meetings next
00:11week.
00:12In fairness, that's what Passon said.
00:13Yeah, they're going to have meetings this weekend.
00:16Teams are going to be eliminated.
00:17They're going to inform teams and then it's certainly going to be done by next week.
00:20I'm starting to have my doubts.
00:22And again, that's just a terrible, terrible thing for baseball because it clogs up the
00:26market.
00:27You have an opportunity to dominate to a degree as much as you can these days.
00:31The headlines with a flurry of free agent moves and Juan Soto headlining all of it and
00:37I'm starting to worry it's going to drag out past the winter meetings.
00:40I know a lot of you probably feel like it already is dragging.
00:43There's a bunch of news that's really a lack of news.
00:46It's no news.
00:47But I'm okay with that as long as it's wrapped up next week at the meetings.
00:50That's when the hot stove needs to happen.
00:51So the meetings end Thursday.
00:54You think Thursday we're going to be doing a show knowing who Juan Soto is?
00:58If you asked me this even two days ago, my answer would be absolutely.
01:01I'm not so sure.
01:02All the teams still think they're in it.
01:04So that's the other thing.
01:05It's like the news pretty early on was here are the teams that are in it.
01:10And then that we sort of dragged out.
01:11They're all meeting, you know, whatever.
01:13And you find out why the GM or the owner is or isn't meeting, but whatever.
01:17Those five teams kind of willed it down to five.
01:19Then a couple of days ago was, oh, they're going to let teams know that they're out of
01:24it.
01:25Right.
01:26I'm not even sure the teams have heard any of that.
01:28No, no, no, no, no.
01:29So we're still at five teams, Yankees, Mets, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Red Sox.
01:33That is where we started.
01:34And that's where we're at now.
01:35This is my fear.
01:36Spear wrote yesterday.
01:37The Red Sox haven't been told they're out.
01:38Okay.
01:39No team has been told that they're out yet, despite reporting that they would be.
01:43And the other thing that I'm leery about, and Spear also wrote this, teams feel like
01:50Steve Cohen is just waiting to Trump everybody's offer by $50 million, which I kind of buy.
01:55I think the Mets are going to wind up, if I had to pick who I think is going to end
01:57up with Soto, it's the Mets.
01:58It's an auction.
01:59But get the little paddles.
02:01That's what they should do on live TV.
02:02They should do an auction with five teams.
02:05I love it.
02:06And you have a really good auctioneer.
02:07I can't do it, but I got 600 auctioneer, an auctioneer, like the best in the business.
02:15And he rips through it.
02:16Then you have Steve Cohen just sitting there with a golden paddle, being like 800 million.
