General topics of discussion included pending trades (especially current speculation about AJ Burnett), the recent death of Hall-of-Famer Gary Carter at age 57, and the status of arbitration (Steve Fall reports that all pending arbitrations are settled as of tonight).
Monte Cely discussed his recent trip to Santo Domingo, DR to attend the 54th Serie del Caribe (the Caribbean World Series). The quiz topic was “Latin American Baseball – with a Dominican flavor”.
