There's obviously going to be an off-season lockout coming in December again.

The part I want to fast-forward to –

is March of 2027.

Because nothing is going to get real, we saw it last time, until games are really on the line.

Nobody's going to move to their, you know, not final positions necessarily, but you're not going to see anything close to the true cards until it's crunch time.

And that's the state of labor in baseball today.

The Kyle Tucker signing only inflames those, you need a salary cap calls, and...

I'm dreading it a little bit because it's going to be, you are a little bit.

Sure.

It's because you have to work.

You actually have to write stuff.

That's right.

That's right.

The, the, in all honesty, in all honesty, once that, that time, when that comes, like the lockout comes, okay, I'll take your word for it.

It's not, if it's just, well, it's not even when it's just going to happen.

You have to basically, you become the athletics, most important person.

I disagree with that in the sense that one of the truly great things about being at the athletic is the size of the team, right?

I work closely.

Ken Rosenthal will hear things.
