Yeah, I mean, obviously any sort of CBA is a massive deal.

I think that there has been, obviously, some adjustments on the union side with everything that went down with Tony Clark a couple months back.

I'm interested to see how Bruce Meyer is going to go in there and take over.

Obviously, he did a little bit of work with them last year.

Tony was still at the forefront of that.

But one of the things that I really appreciate is the fact that, like, you know, when you're going into these negotiations, you can't go into these negotiations trying to win.

You have to go in there trying to figure out how we can come to a fair deal for both sides.

Because at the end of the day, the last thing we want is to have a stoppage.

I don't think that's going to happen.

I think the commissioner's office, from everything that I've heard, is set on finding a deal, making sure that things get done.

But once again, you have to bring a floor into play at some point.

At some point, you have to have these low-market owners starting to spend a little bit of money because the Dodgers, the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Phillies, the high-priced teams are getting sick and tired of paying these luxury tax that goes straight to all these lower-income teams.

And so I think in general, I understand what they're trying to do.

It has been explained to me of bringing a floor into play, not necessarily a cap, because if you're thinking about it, there already is an imaginary cap.

If you go over a certain number, you have to pay a luxury tax on that.

So I think the cap is already in play.

I like the fact that we're bringing that bottom from the floor up.

So instead of spending $40, $50 million on your team, you will have to spend a certain amount.

So I think it's going to be great for the game.

I think it's going to be great for the overall wealth of these players in general.
