And teams are going to each receive, let's call it $250, $300 million from those expansion fees.

So a lot of things to be discussed.

And yeah, you'd rather start talking about it today on May 12th than, ah, it's December 1st and the CBA is up.

Now let's start talking about it.

So this is all part of what was expected.

Makes me feel better and better and better about PCA and Nico Horner getting those contracts.

Oh, the lockup, yeah.

I mean, that hastened it.

That had to have upped the urgency.

I mean, maybe.

I mean, they obviously wanted those players, but that makes me feel better for the Cubs and for those players.

Where that happens for the one team, for the White Sox, do you feel like there is a window for an extension of any kind with that labor –

problem happening for Munataka Murakami?

Like that question.

I...

doubt it at this time and the only reason i say i doubt it is i i look at these things from a the business standpoint for the player right if i'm munitaka murakami and i've had this insane run and i thought i was going to be this anyway and 29 teams said i'm out the white socks said yes good on the white socks right like they they were great on the white socks they won already

But for him, now you go out and you hit, let's say he hits, finishes the season with 50 homers.

Just 50.

Which would set the Sox record in his first year in the States.

He's proven that he can get on a base at a really high clip.
