| 0:00.0 | B-Pod Studios. |
| 0:06.0 | A last place team this year have already spent more than half a billion dollars this month alone. |
| 0:13.6 | Why do that right before a lockout? What's the advantage? |
| 0:17.3 | Well, Shep, it's a great question. I think one key thing here is that teams are motivated and the agents and players are as well to get these deals done before that potential transaction freeze on the evening of December 1st. And of course, no one really knows what would be waiting on the other side of that deadline. What we know is that for now, the MLBPA and the players in baseball are the only group of players in North American pro sports who have no salary cap on their salaries here in professional baseball. |
| 0:44.6 | So we'll see what happens here in the days ahead as we move towards what could be a transaction freeze. |
| 0:52.3 | And that's where we will begin today on Wednesday, December 1st. |

| 1:27.7 | Well, I think the work stoppage is a foregone conclusion. |
| 1:31.1 | I don't think there's any avoiding it, barring some sort of miraculous development that |
| 1:35.4 | nobody is expecting. |
| 1:37.2 | Everything I read says they're not making much progress, that they're expecting to fully |
| 1:41.9 | shut down tonight at 11 1159 p.m. |
| 1:45.0 | So look, you know, again, I will tell you this, baseball always looks bad when there's a |
| 1:51.4 | work stoppage, okay? Any sport does, not just baseball, but baseball especially because there's |
