All right, how the hell is everybody on a snowy Tuesday? I feel like every day is snow now. Did you see the forecast? It will be, yes. That's like every day you're just going to get a dusting. Just enough to anger you. Well, tonight, I guess it's going to be a little bit more, but it is wintertime. It's Michigan. Let's go! It's winter meetings time. So I think we've been very fair. Some of you may disagree with that. I don't really care, though. But I think we've been incredibly fair to the Tigers. And I have said to you for a while now, anytime you call up, you want to call Chris Illich, cheap, what have I said? All right, you can reserve the right to do that based on how the offseason plays out.

What does that mean?

What it means is if the offseason featured trading scuba or not signing him and they don't go all in when they keep him by making big trades by signing legitimate bats, you can call up and call

Chris Hillich and Scott Harris, whatever you like, because at that point, you're unsurious

and you're frugal, you're cheap. Your small market, as Jim Costa called them. So why would I open

the show with that? Why would Rico and I be sitting here? Because we said to you,

the winter meetings, December 7th through the 10th, and that's going to be a big moment because

Scott Harris won't be appearing on the let's have a slumber party Benetti pod. And he's going to go

on something like MLB Network or he's going to talk. And we got some quotes for you, and I've got to tell you it's worth a watch.

I have nothing to gain by telling you to watch MLB Network.

But I mean, Harris looks like he is going to sweat through his shirt getting grilled about

Scoobel.

And I want to play some quotes to you because it's delicious irony that as Scott Harris speaks today the next day the tigers

are out here hey here's your ticket plans have it your way and I think you as a consumer

you have decisions you need to make I'm not going to tell you what to do it's not my place

I can tell you what I would do but But you want to let's play this audio. And then we're going to have a

conversation. Now, if you've already heard the Harris quotes, 248, 5, 39, 97, 97, if you haven't,

kick back and relax for a second. I want to just set the table.

So the first question he was asked was about, and I think it's a fair question, he was asked about maximizing the Terrick scuba window.

Naturally, he responded by saying, well, I don't know what that means, and we made the playoffs.

And he even had the audacity to say they had a credible

shot to win the world series no you had a last two years you had an incredible shot to be show
