Yup, I missed the overnight madness. Such is life in ET when the meetings are on the West Coast and I had to be up at 6am to be with the kiddos. Glad to see the Winter Meetings doing the huge signings thing again. And now with Gerrit Cole signed, you wonder if the final two days of the Meetings will be even crazier …
Cashman smiled and said: "Enjoy your meal." About an hour later, after the news broke, Joe Maddon (dining at the same restaurant) headed over and congratulated Cashman. So… yeah… https://t.co/ccO2wLp2gN

Love this note in @Ken_Rosenthal's take on the Cole deal – it should be the biggest priority for the players AND the owners to fix on the financial side. Earlier arb and/or earlier FA is going to more fairly distribute revenues to younger players. https://t.co/2HsFDVA5eW pic.twitter.com/QapkU3plVo

A regular, non-baseball person at the winter meetings hotel asked — bewildered — what was going on at this hotel. So I told her.
“I saw David Ross in the coffee shop,” she said. “I recognized him from ‘Dancing with the Stars.’”
