For you

I'm John Bonas of Twinsdaylanding.

I'm with me, Aaron Gleman of Theathletic.com, and we are bracing for Christmas week. Yeah, post-Honica. Which is often a slow week. Well, they're all slow weeks these days, John, basically. It has been a little bit of a slow, slow burn, although there was a lot of weird news. I um I

Liz I know you've got all your notes and stuff

I don't know if this one was really on it slow burn, although there was a lot of weird news.

I know you've got all your notes and stuff.

I don't know if this one was really on it.

Did you see the, did you read the whole Jason Stark thing about the Dave Dombrowski hire for the Phillies?

In fact, I said to my editor, Zach Pierce of the Athletic Minnesota, it's a shame.

There's not like a technological way to repackage this with a photo of Thad Levine and a Thad Levine headline because it would be of great interest to Athletic Minnesota readers if we sort of positioned that as an article about Thad Levine. I was reading. Because half of it was about Thad Levine. I did not make it all the way through the story, but I did read all the Had Levine stuff. There was juicy stuff. I mean, Jason Stark, before he became with the SPN and now the athletic, one of the top, I would say five national names. Also, the nicest guy ever. Right. Oh, yeah. Reached out to me as soon as I joined and was like, if you ever need anything, just super nice guy. he was a local beat right he was a local beat writer when I was there right in the early 90s so he knows the Philly Philly stuff inside and out and so yeah the story that John's talking about

it was like maybe from earlier this way like Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or something like that

on the athletic Jason Stark wrote it was about how did the Phillies end up with Dave Dombrovsky as their

front office boss but yeah the the middle of the story was very interesting to

twins fans they went them courting that Levine and how serious they were about that Levine and how

so the cliffs notes basically turned it down. Twice.
