All right, how the hell is everybody on a snowy Tuesday? I feel like every day is snow now. Do you see the forecast? It will be, yes. It'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. 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 scubel or not signing him and they don't

go all in when they keep him by making big trades by 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 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.
