The Hello and welcome to episode 815 of the sleeper in the bus. It is Tuesday June 2nd. I'm your host Paul Spor.

Joined by Justin Mason. Justin good morning sir. Good morning. Do we have baseball yet?

No we do not. However, things may be moving. I was going to say progressing. I don't know if it's progress, but they may be moving.

By the way, do I faintly hear a lawnmower in the background?

It's kind of Gibson in your neck of the woods?

Nope. Okay, then I must be hearing things.

I thought maybe.

Because you could travel around and cut grass wherever he wants at this point.

But, um, no, I think there is some movement toward like a 50 game season if only because it includes

pro-rated salaries, which again, you cannot convince me that every proposal shouldn't just be their salary for however many games they play. So stupid. But this is the first one that actually has that.

However, it seems that the union thinks that like I do that a 50 game season is stupid and I do I think that I think this is like this is like a fantasy trade where

someone offers something really stupid and the other person

counters with something stupid but on the other ad no the spectrum

uh... and eventually we're gonna meet in the middle at eighty-sum

games uh... i think that meet in the middle at 80-some games.

I think that's what's ultimately going to happen.

Or it'll be something like 100 games,

but they get the 80 game pro-rated pay.

Uh, so like, I. the 80 game pro-rated pay. So like I this is I mean this is like a lot of posturing but like the deadline if they

want to start by July 4th is going to be this week.

So I think I'm hoping by the time of record on Thursday

that this is figured out.
