Superstar Jack Fritz!

Fritzi, what's up?

I feel like people haven't, like it hasn't really set in for a lot of people that the biggest off season in

Phillies history is starting on tomorrow night.

tomorrow night midnight Saturday like but the most annoying not annoying

it's all great, but with with basketball and with football, like it kind of, there's stuff leaking out prior and there's kind of a tampering period where they can tamper legally or whatever and

the first day free agency is not much going on like it's basketball is a little

different but and names kind of sign fast.

I just know the case of baseball like these guys like aren't gonna sign on Saturday.

It's a process. It's a killer. It stinks. Well here's the thing and and it is kind of funny because it does feel like maybe because we are so

invested this off season, but it seems like Free Agency is coming way quicker

than anyone has expected it.

Which is awesome.

And you're right.

It's usually the winter meetings in December

where things start to really happen.

However, with Harper and Machado this year, those are two free ages we've never seen before.

We've never seen guys at this age with this type of accomplishments already going on the market.

So I do think Harper and potentially Machado are going to sign a little quicker than your classic biggest free agents on the market do.

You know, I know Boris kind of trolling people saying deals already done what? He got you didn't he?
