The GM meetings have begun in Boca Raton, FL. This means that Brian Cashman and his mustache have arrived and made their presence known. And while Cashman's 'stache has him doing his best Caesar Flickerman impression at the GM meetings, Cashman made news yesterday when he said he would be willing to listen to offers for closer, Andrew Miller. All that means is that he's doing his job. Remember, this does not mean he's actively shopping Miller (he'd probably find a trade partner really easily), all this means is that if the Nationals came calling saying "eh we can give you Strasburg and Harper...could we have Miller?" he would probably say yes. Miller is one of the best relief pitchers in baseball, so his price tag would be very high and if someone would be willing to meet the probably outrageous demands Cashman rightfully has, then he has to at least listen.
Aside from that, it was a sad day in baseball yesterday. Let's hope that Jose Reyes' wife, Katherine, is okay and thoughts go out to former Braves and Angels pitcher, Tommy Hanson's family and friends as he unfortunately passed away late last night after falling into a coma and fighting organ failure. Rest in peace.
Comments of the Day
I'm so good at GM-ing.
Seriously look how good I am at GM-ing! Greg is also pretty good at GM-ing.
Ha-Kenta Maeda - it means no worries for the rest of your days!
If none of the free agents sign with a team, Right Answer will become this generation's Nostradamus.
Or he could be this generation's Gorgias
GIF of the Day
Ah yes, old chap, this seems like a jolly good time for some baseball. What a spectacle.

Song of the Day
Strangers in the Night by Frank Sinatra
It's Frank Sinatra week on Pinstripe Alley. I know tonight's song could not sleep because it was wondering in the night...what were the chances of it being selected for SOTD. It got awkward when we were exchanging glances.
Feel free to use this as your open thread for the day. Did you watch last night's episode of Supergirl? Are you going to watch tonight's episode of The Flash?
