ESPN New York says Jack Z told them he won't trade Felix.

Glad we got that out of the way early, I’m sure its the last time anyone from New York will bring it up.

I can just imagine Jack walking into the lobby where a bounch of GM's/reporters are bsing.

Ruben Amaro walks up to him and ask’s him how it’s going and he just starts screaming “I WILL NOT TRADE FELIX HERNANDEZ!” as the entire room stares at him.

Is Kevin Martinez reading LL this morning? I think there's an idea for a new Felix commercial for next year hidden in here.

Wow that would be an awkward commercial if Felix ever did get traded.

No more awkward than the Guti golf course commercial might be if he doesn't bounce back

His defense has not gone down since his difficulties.

So why would that be?

I am convinced that Seattle sports teams exist to make me hate Seattle sports teams.

Is that an aardvark as the official animal of the winter meetings?

Naturally.

I think its an armadillo.

Apparently so.

One of the finest pieces of trash talk I’ve ever seen

Well, it is an honor on par with hosting the Olympics to have the Winter Meetings in your city

Why did he even say that?

It wasn’t even provoked.

I like how the picture of the habitat show the badger just missing both Portland and Seattle.

Winter meetings always sound so much more interesting than it actually is.

There’s nothing really to watch, we just all keep our eyes on Twitter, just like we have been all offseason, except expecting something to happen more frequently.
