Quote of the Day
Other sports, they have free agency, it’s about a month. There’s lots of bidders. It’s a great marketing opportunity for the sport. ... Our free agency is like the Bataan Death March. It starts the day after the World Series and in February really, really good players are still wandering around the landscape.
