Straight to the people.

Scott Harris has spoken at the winter meetings.

I think it was disastrous, and he was all over the place. So I want to know your guy's feelings towards it. We've asked some critical questions. We go to Steve on a cell, see what he's got to say. Stevie, how you doing, buddy? Hey, dude, good, man. How are you doing? I'm excellent. Mike, what you just said all over the place, and that's pretty much what I got from that.

I mean, let's, what you just said all over the place, and that's pretty much what I got from that.

I mean, it was the pinnacle of success for him making the playoffs the last two years?

That's one question.

And if it was, did he not pay attention to a thing after the all-star break in the trade deadline?

You know, he was very adamant about saying that, you know, he said he said recently that

nobody's untouchable.

They're listening to everything.

Well, last come trade deadline, everybody was untouchable because he didn't, as he said,

didn't want to give up on any of the prospects because he didn't want to take the chance

of it coming back to buy him in the ass. So that said, what's the deal? I mean, was the bit for Bregman? Was that a smokescreen? Yeah, they offered 170 or 171. I give them that. But, you know, it gets to thinking that it was that the thought that counts or were they knew it were they knowing that they weren't

going to sign it all right i want to i want to say this and i want to admit i want to admit guilt to

this steve i have chosen to believe that was real and i've actually given them credit for making

a real offer to to to bregman but maybe you're maybe you're right that a year But maybe you're right.

That a year later, maybe you're right.

Maybe that was just nothing more than agent puffery, that it just leaked out there.

They used it to get Boston to give them more money than Aaron Judge with the AVs and the rest with the opt-outs.

Steve, I can fully admit if I was wrong.

I'd be lying to you if after listening to his comments, Steve, I didn't at least think what you're thinking.

No, I get that, but in the whole crux of it, Mike, is we don't know that.
