This is the Baseball Tonight podcast for Wednesday, December 18th,

2024, and today will be better than yesterday.

I'm Buster Only working for my home in Montana.

Taylor Schwink is working from the Schwink Studios.

You're back in Connecticut and getting ready for the holidays.

Yeah, Buster, we got a big voyage to Long Island, strong island, as I like to call it, planned for the entire family.

And yeah, looking forward to a relaxing Christmas holiday, you know, working a little bit,

but with the family.

And we've got something, we got a really great episode today, but we've got a really fun episode for next week.

We're going to talk about what the Yankees have done, what the Cubs might do with Kyle Tucker.

Will they be able to sign him? And teams that are in need going forward. We'll talk about the Seattle

Mariners. We'll be talking about the San Diego Padres. We'll be talking about the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Cubs are kicking in $5 million to offset of the money owed De Bellinger.

Cody Petit, a reliever, is going to be going to the Chicago Cubs.

There was a report out there that the, you know, the Bellinger is going to play center field for the Yankees.

That has not been determined. Part of the reason why the got them was positional flexibility. And that's a deal
