All, please see the updated MLB events schedule. Chris informed me that he will be on a cruise without internet from March 10-26th, so the schedule was adjusted to allow him the opportunity to bid on the majority of valuable free agents. There would not have been enough time to hold free agency after his return, so the schedule is going to be a bit more compact this year. Saddle up!
