Biggest off season story..extensions, payroll or trades
Bill Brink
12:38
If we don't know the status of Huntington and Hurdle, that will be the biggest story, along with whether or not they trade McCutchen

meadows fall this year in respect to Cutch replacement?
Bill Brink
12:40
If only because he can't stay on the field, yes. He had another leg injury and now has an oblique issue, so he was unable to put together a full year at triple-A and that will slow his development some.
Lightning round. Go.

Can they unload Hudson contract?
Bill Brink
12:42
Gonna be tough. The 1.46 WHIP and 4.5 BB/9 don't bode well for moving $5.5 million.

Freese has been over exposed, without good news on Kang, infielder that can play everyday at 2nd or 3rd would seem to me number 1 priority....what do you think?
Bill Brink
12:44
I think a third baseman is going to be a priority, and if he can play second, that's a bonus.

Nickname uniforms. thumbs up or down?
Bill Brink

For one game a year in a setting designed to do something different and attract new audiences, loved it. Thought the whole Williamsport thing was great.
Jeff

Any sense there is glimmer of hope for Kang?
Bill Brink
12:45
Not that we've heard. I don't know what has to change at this point for him to get into the country.
12:46
That's it for today, thanks for all the good questions. We'll do it again next week from Chicago.
