Good morning everyone! We hope you’re having a merry Christmas and a happy holiday. Madison had the overnight news roundup, but the rest of the staff is otherwise understandably off today. If you’re spending time with friends and family today, then great! If you’re trying to escape some for whatever reason or just hanging out, that’s fine too! We’ll have this open thread for you.
It’d be a surprise if any big baseball news dropped today. It’s odd enough when something drops on Christmas Eve, like the report of former Rays closer Pete Fairbanks signing with the Marlins. But … just in case, we’ll keep an eye out. Have a terrific day!
1. Would you have wanted the Yankees to sign Pete Fairbanks to fortify their bullpen at all?
2. Are you someone who likes to go all-out in decorating a Christmas tree? Or is it not that interesting to you?
