We got a deal. We got a deal!

We got a deal!

Welcome in the beginning of another edition of the Ben Mather Show.

We are in the air everywhere, side by side, as we invite you to pull up a chair.

Coast to coast, border to border, and beyond on the vast.

And super eminently powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the flight deck as we soar on the red eye all night long hanging out here

at the Fox Sports Radio Studios at a secret location somewhere in the North Woods.

And I was told a couple weeks back by someone who would know this kind of thing that a deal was

going to get done in Major League Baseball by the middle of March.

This was, mind you, probably three weeks ago.

So not a full month, but three weeks ago that was going to get done in mid-March.

Now, we're not quite in the middle,middle March, but our lead comes from baseball

But we got a deal.
