Clinton Yates, very funny running into you here, and I say here, I don't know exactly where you are.

I hear a lot of noises behind you.

What's going on?

Where I am is I'm sitting in a large hallway which is effectively the equivalent of off-Broadway radio row here in Nashville at the winter meetings from Major League Baseball at the Gaylord National Resort and Hotel, which quite frankly,

is he has a lovely holiday and very slurpy decor that a lot of people are enjoying who are not

here for baseball as well.

All right, so real life reporting here on the daily.

You travel to Nashville for baseball's winter meetings,

which Clinton, it's always been something that's been

in my life the winter meetings. I hear about it all the time but have never really

had a good grasp of what actually happens there. But how would you describe the vibes of it this year?

The vibes this year are very frustrating.

The biggest free agent on the Major League Baseball market,

Shohay O'Tani international superstar is a nowhere to be found physically

which is not a big surprise but b there is no news to be reported remotely

either very disappointing to a lot of people also has really created a bit of a backlog in terms of other things that might be going on in the league.

Basically, kind of a dub.

Yeah, that's interesting because we heard going in that this was going to be the anti-Labron- James decision.

It would be very hush-hush, and Shohay O'Tani doesn't want anybody discussing his free agent negotiations,

but apparently he didn't really think this through on what the implications might be?

You know, when people throw back to LeBron and the decision,

there is a understood assumption
