I want to start with your metropolitans though. You see the flag in the background, you see the David Wright, you know, 5 in the background as well. They feel like the dormant player right now, the sleeping giant of the offseason, and they're always the active giant of the offseason, at least since Steve Cohen has stepped into his current role now. Do you feel like this week could be somewhat intriguing for the New York Mets or is this just kinda, hey, you know what, we'll stand pat. We got Devin Williams, we're gonna hang out. I think it's definitely intriguing cause to me, it feels like the Mets are due to make a big trade at some point this offseason, and winter meetings are a great time for a big trade to take place. So the Mets haven't need in the outfield after trading Brandon Immo, so, could they go in on Jan Durant at the top of the market, or could they take a flyer on a Luis Robert? I think any of those trades could happen. And then when it comes to their rotation, they obviously need a frontline arm. Today, there is some reporting that they're not gonna be giving a long-term deal in free agency. What does that mean? Does that mean that they're out on Framer Valdez if he gets a five-year deal? Is that too long? If so, then it really is just strictly the trade market, I think. So, that was an interesting report this morning, just that they're not in on a long-term deal. But again, in this market, how many guys are gonna get the long-term deal, it could still keep everything pretty wide open. It's just so vague to me that they wouldn't be in on a long-term deal. I guess I just need the definition of a long-term deal, because if you've got a five-year deal that is cheaper than some 3-year deals because of The quality of player. Now, it, it's a little weird, those waters, who's to say that a 5-year deal is gonna be cheaper than a 3, but I'm just thinking like, OK, you've got pitcher A that wants 5 for 150 and you've got pitcher B that wants 4 for 130, which one are you actually gonna go with? Um, I find it a little weird that they would immediately discount one of them, but I also had this moment with Buster Olney of ESPN when he joined us on Saturday. And I wanted to like, run a question by him that's just been burning in my brain. With the upcoming labor negotiation and the possible lockout after the 26 season going into 27, I just wonder what is affected, because obviously, we know the free agent market is affected. I want to know what it is. Is it the AAV, the average annual value of these contracts over a 5-year deal? Is it the length of contract? Hey, we're not gonna go 6 years because that's too many years that we're grandfathered into your contract, and we'd like to keep it short, but we'll pay a little bit more money. I'm just Trying to figure out which part of the contract structure is most heavily influenced by the upcoming labor dispute and, and the possible resolve that we could get. Do you have any feeling as to which piece of the contract could be altered? It's so hard to tell. I mean, for a team like the Mets, you'd wonder if they're just overall trying to be cautious about too much long-term spending because of the potential of a salary cap, but it also, I, I, I could argue both sides because the other side of the coin is spend while you can and figure it out later. So, I, I, I, I think, I, the way that I would imagine this is going to impact things primarily is sort of the middle of the market. I feel like it's Always that way in sports, right? Like the top of the market is never really affected by these things. And it's more the middle to the bottom of the market that we see a little bit of an impact. So I, I don't know if this necessarily is going to impact the very top free agents, but it is interesting that It it just seems very quiet in free agency, and it seems like teams, if they can address their needs through trades first and lock in more fixed reasonable costs, maybe people just want to be a little bit more cautious, just with the fear of the unknown.
