Guest Summaries:
Crasnick surveyed the Hot Stove landscape going into the final two weeks of the year, including the rumors of a Johan Santana deal being completed soon. He also discussed performance-enhancing drugs and baseball's handling of the issue in the future. Morosi talked about Dontrelle Willis signing an extension in Detroit and how that will benefit his performance given the new-found stability.
