Do it in Vegas every year and be done. Last year was the best.

Eh, I don’t know. Doesn’t seem all that bad. The kids still get their moment and that’s all that matters.

Maybe don’t have the boys 35 rows back so we don’t have to sit through 55 bro hugs.

Do they? They get to shake hands with Gary and some random B list celebrity from the city that picks them but then just do a quick awkward zoom call with the team that picked him? This is awkward and cheap looking AF.

Yeah its like they don’t want trades. No excitement and I honestly don’t care what “celebrities “ they trot out.

Saving money on not sending the entire staff to another city for close to a week and the GMs didn’t like that everyone could see who all they were talking to on the floor.
