Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations Dick Williams was on the Reds Hot Stove League show on Wednesday night. He joined hosts Tommy Thrall and Jim Day for the show and one of the very first things he addressed was the current situation of no baseball and the on-going negotiations between ownership around Major League Baseball and the players. Thrall asked Williams “What is your level of optimism right now?” about the negotiations. He’s the response from Williams:
Right now the sides are talking, getting down to brass tax, they’re exchanging specific proposals. Jim’s right, get in the most amount of games.
