Good morning, everyone. Today is November 6th, about 9 o'clock in the morning here in beautiful North Carolina, where it is already 61 degrees, just beautiful here on the ocean.

So hopefully the weather is good with you all.

I'm still trying to get over the great world series. I just saw an article

today that the TV ratings were through the roof. You know, it hasn't, you know, people haven't

watched the baseball game like that in years, and it's so good to see for baseball. And so hopefully

that will carry on until next season.

I know we get the World Baseball Classic that a lot of people like to watch and just really good times here.

We're already starting to see some guys get signed and options picked up and options denied.

And so all that stuff goes on now.

Then you're going to see arbitration, which guys are going to go through the R process.

And then I think you can officially start to sign free agents.

Was it 10 days after the end of the World Series?

So we got a little bit of time left but

we all know that at least if passed this prologue then it's going to be February before

most of the the big guys get signed though a lot there's you know I guess Beber up reupping and

picking up his options his option with the uh oh the Toronto Blue Jays

pretty interesting I would have thought he got a lot a lot more money on the on the open market

but maybe they cut a deal and you're actually going to sign him for a longer term deal I don't

know or maybe just got caught up in all the hoopla of the

World Series and wants to participate in again. I don't know. But so that took a big name off the

market. And then we've got, I guess we got Kyle Tucker, who we know was going to sign late.

Though he's not a bar his client. So bars clients are the ones that always signed very, very late.
