MLB, CBA negotiations came to a crashing halt today.

We'll address that, what it means and what we're going to do in the interim.

But more importantly, we're going to spend more time talking about our navel-gazing.

We're going to be talking about our industry league drafts, labor, TGFBI, TOW wars,

that and a whole lot more from the Rotowire Fancy Baseball podcast.

Thank you. tower wars that and a whole lot more on the roto wire fancy baseball podcast podcast

for the rotoire Fantasy Baseball

podcast brought to you by the good folks at Winbet. That intro is too short. I don't have

enough time to retweet the link out there. So I'm going to do that right now after I ask you, Fred.

How are you? Well, I'm fine. Like, I was really hoping that we could have this like title wave of enthusiasm on tonight's episode and, you know, oh, they've got a deal and let's go. The players are this. And I heard this guy might sign as soon as tonight. And, but none of that's going to happen. So I'm generally an optimist. I'm going to find a way to be at least not pessimistic about this whole thing but

yeah so so i so i'm fine but i today tonight could have been like a really really cool episode

because you know if they come to an agreement by 5 p.m eastern like there would have been there would

have literally been rumors by 6 p.m. Eastern about certain players and moves.

Yep, that's right. And I, you know, I was ready for the fire hose of information.

Said, I'm going to go play tennis tonight. I'm not going to watch the state of the union.

I'm not going to watch the state of MLB union. I didn't watch either press conference.

I don't need to, you know, screw that noise.

You know, yes, of course, it's stupid that they, both MLB Network and ESPN cut short,

the players press conference, you know, rights holders are going to rights hold.

That's what they do.

So I'm not really surprised by that.

This isn't about fairness.
