I'm Sam Miller in Long Beach, California. Ben Lindbergh is in New York, New York. Ben, how are you doing?

0:36.3

I'm okay, but I think this felt to me like the most boring day of the offseason possibly.

0:44.3

It seems like we're at about that point where nothing is happening.

0:51.3

Yeah, I found today to be not too boring, but nothing that happened meant anything, you know?
