    I used to see her at events at my kids' school, so I gather that I lived close to her somehow. Anyway, she's kind of short. And she's not Amy Andrews . . .

    I do a fair amount of negotiating in my line of work, and we never accomplish anything with in-person sessions. Too many personalities, egos, etcetera. In my experience, the exchange of written proposals is where the real work is done. It is possible that there may be progress on that front, notwithstanding the hardly-existent in-person sessions. But it doesn't sound like it.

    Again going off memory, I think Willie Blair's good year was 1997. He won like 20 games and then signed with Arizona

    the forthcoming signing of Correa

    I like the idea of more protection from the sun. I would get rid of the parking lot out front and shift the park right up to Woodward Ave., opening up a couple blocks between Comerica and Ford Field. That would be some of the hottest real estate in the City if it existed.

    In my experience, in any negotiation, you have to have some things to negotiate away. If there were not some things the players could live without among their demands, there would be no negotiation. None of us really know all the demands, what people really want, and what they are willing to do without.

    suggests to me that the tigers didn't want him, or maybe the reds asking price in trade was too high

    In recent experience, it seems like the Tigers' version should be called the kennel, 'cuz everyone out there is a dog <rimshot>

    This. I'm generally on the players' side and I think this is a terrible idea. It will ensure only that some team pays some guys who don't deserve it.

    Many years ago, both MLB and MiLB had their own winter meetings, sometimes in two separate locations. Later they sort of merged into one event. SABR has a great two-volume set about the winter meetings. They have some great stories and info

    Definitely this. Rogers had almost exactly the same number of ABs in 2019 when many thought he was a bust as he had before his injury in 2021.

    That's a great thing. I remember being flabbergasted when I used to go to Lugnuts games and would read about volunteer "host families" in the program. Initially, of course, I thought of the guys signing for big bonuses and wondered why they needed housing but all the other guys making dick had to scrounge. Glad that will not be the case moving forward.

    so you're saying he'll play for the Tigers for free?
