Ryan McGuffie with Vinnie Duber and Merck.

Scott Merkin has joined us here as we get set to embark on spring training, finally.

And still nothing has been decided with most of the white socks.

Well, much of the white socks.

The socks have been one of the most active teams, as we've talked about.

My hypothesis is this, what if Machado and Harper forego baseball,

and they're the next true detective pairing in season four?

Is that possible?

I'm into that.

I haven't watched this year's, but I heard it's great. I have not watched yet either, and I have heard it. I'm so, I was so turned off by season two. Yeah, first year was Haroldson and McConaughey. I don't remember who, I don't even remember who two was, but. Vince Vaughn headed Rachel McAdams. Look at us going right into true detective.

But I'm just saying maybe it's a possibility.

You know, Bryce Harper, who's had, I mean, at least externally has had a blast with this. It seems like what was the tweet he put out after the Superb-R-loaded? Loading minutes after the Super Bowl ended loading. Loading. So maybe he's serious. Maybe he's going to take a little break, do your taping, and come back. I like it, but I don't see how that's possible. But we are going to discuss the top three storylines as players report to Glendale next week. And we're going to each give our take. We'll go three, two, one. But there's so much that could or could not happen with this roster.

Merck, you've covered the team now for 17 years, 18 years.

Let's see.

19 years.

8, no, no, not 19.

8, Ozzy, 5 Robin, and this will be the third for Ricky and 1 with your Emmanuel.

So 17.

17 years with the White Sox.

Yeah.
