So I don't know yet.

I think we'll have a better sense of that retrospectively when we look back at spring training and see what actually occurred during the off-season or maybe even opening day and looked at the off-season.

My sense is there is a very large swath of the industry that is very much trying to compete and believes it's in a competitive window, whether it's big market, small market, mid-market.

Those types of deals are also the most challenging to put together.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: David Stearns Discusses Mets Winter Meetings Plans

But yes, we are having those types of conversations.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: David Stearns Discusses Mets Winter Meetings Plans

And my sense is, not only the ones that we are involved in, but my sense is those types of conversations are ongoing throughout the industry.

Presser: David Stearns Discusses Mets Winter Meetings Plans

So we did do one.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: David Stearns Discusses Mets Winter Meetings Plans

We could use a couple.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: David Stearns Discusses Mets Winter Meetings Plans

Yeah.

Presser: David Stearns Discusses Mets Winter Meetings Plans

You know, I think it's...
