Chapter 3: How do Jonny's past experiences influence his current role?
It's... I don't know if it's a branch or the avenue has just exploded, you know, the last five years.
So let's switch to when you were a player.
Yeah.
You were a free agent quite a bit in your career.
Yeah, a lot.
What is it like going through this process in the offseason?
So there's obviously different levels of free agency. I mean, there's guys right now, probably like yacht shopping that don't have a job. They're not really stressed out, but I guess there's a lower tier kind of where I was, you know, like a role player, platoon guy bouncing around. You hope and you kind of know it's going to work itself out.
But when you're technically unemployed on Christmas, that sucks.
That's not a Merry Christmas.

Chapter 4: How do the Winter Meetings reflect the current state of baseball?
Listen and follow Free Range with me, Vaughn Miller, wherever you get your podcasts.
Man, if the Dodgers find a way to get better, then back-to-back World Series.
How do you get better?
You go back-to-back and you go into the offseason with money and get better. That's dangerous. Toronto, you know, they beat them to the punch. Making some moves already. Of course. You got some back end bullpen guys and then the trade market. Obviously, the Red Sox right in the middle of it still need a couple more pieces.
But you go down a little bit and you're actually seeing the value of having prospects.
I fully agree with that.
I mean, to me, it's the new currency. Yes.
It's a good way to put it.
Yeah. Like if you have prospects, you can go get really whoever you want. Yeah. which is the draft, which is player development, which is scouting. You go to a place like this and you really see how important those branches are in your system.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of the Winter Meetings for the future of baseball?
So if you got prospects, you're a very wealthy team.
So we talked about this a little bit, and you're hearing his name quite a bit, Kyle Schwarber.
Yeah.
How cool would that be for not only Kyle Schwarber to go to his hometown team of Cincinnati, but a small market team to get a big win? What a concept. What a concept.
Yeah, I love it. You know, there's a couple of these teams that have windows right now, and there's a couple of these teams that are hoping the window opens, and there's a couple of these teams that windows are getting real close to closing. They have some really interesting, really good young pitchers.
Hunter Green being at the top of the list.
Your shortstop is the next I don't even know what million dollar guy. He's electric. Yep. They got some core pieces. They got one of the best managers in the history of the game. Sure do. He's from there. It makes sense. But it's just crazy. I mean, you talk about a guy like Kyle Schwarber. Like, he legit, you know, with universal DH. He fits in all 30 teams.
Literally.
He fits.
