brian shackman is here with details on how we thought it was impacting baseball. brian?a, last week, we discussed the impact of the fiscal cliff on baseballs. free agents might try to get more upfront money to protect against the possibility of higher rates, because with an average salary of around $3.5 million, and a league minimum of $480,000, all these guys are 1%. two big deals before the winter meetings. b.j. upton, $75 million contract and evan longoria's 1$100 millin extension. upton had a $3 million bonus and longoria shifted $4 million out of next year. i confirmed this, and what i found was pretty surprising. >> that's part of any negotiation. it's not unique to this year. obviously because of, you know, everything that's -- the whole world is sort of watching the last month here in the united states, so, there's a lot more focus and we get that question a lot, but that is a part of every negotiation. >> i think it would be more on a back-end consideration for a player in what he's deciding. >> billy beane was cool. longoria's people said that fiscal cliff was

brian beutler and eric bates.to start out with the financial trend financial packs that i mentioned earlier in the show. dan, would that be a bad idea? a good idea? something that we should think about and hold in reserve for another day. >> i actually think it's a good idea. the economists say if you want something less of something tax it more. if we want less speculation and less out of control training by these crazy machines that are doing hundreds of thousands of trades a day to capture a fraction of a penny in economic gains, taxes it would discourage those and raise a fair amount of money in a fairly painless way in trading. >> eliot: would this be an useful compromise point? you want the capital markets to be liquid. you want to allocate capital efficiently among businesses and he cansectors. all of that used to happen before the hedge fund that were driven by computers. you could butt a transaction tax it on, do what financial markets are supposed to do and raise money. why wouldn't this be politically g

eamon, set us straight. >> brian, that's right. the center of the financial universe has been senator scott brown's facebook page of all things, he is the defeated massachusetts senator. he lost to elizabeth warren. he still sits in the senate until the new senate is convened in january. so he posted on his facebook page that he was heading back to d.c. take a look at what he actually said. he said, heading back to d.c. just learned that the pres reached out the gop leadership with a proposal. it is the first such proposal to be put forth eager to see what it is, how it should be serious. he said he hopes it is a serious proposal. so meanwhile the white house responding very quickly to that. they're saying over there a senior administration official there is no proposal being sent up today. scott brown is wrong. so we'd like to hear from senator brown as soon as he gets to washington about why exactly he posted that on his facebook pain and what he meant by a proposal, but the administration official eager to knock that down. a lit

brian, one of the things to point out. the optics. 3.6 trillion of spending against 2.3 trillion in revenue. that's an 8% budget deficit to gdp. we're in the same realm as spain. we're not -- we do not have good optics here. i think it's going to get worse before it gets better. >> craig, you know, i understand that we need a real good kick in the pants, in the fiscal pants if you like, right, to get this house in order. at the same time, if we go over that cliff, this is real money to real people. this is money being taken out of people's paychecks. this is some people losing their unemployment benefits. all kinds of things could happen. how bad could it be? >> well, it certainly could be bad. just as an example of that, if you look at the payroll tax cut alo alone, that doesn't seem to be on the board. that could be an increase in the gasoline tax of $1.25 a gallon. there will be effects, but that has to happen at some point. we've been living on sugar high for too long now. at some point we have to get back to fiscal di

on stoltz's back and stoltz just shook him off and brian told him to stay out of it, and i guess brian the best of stoltz then. >> but both sides agree that later on stoltzu returned to the scene of the knife with a serrated kitchen knife. >> how similar is that knife from the son that killed your son? >> we think it's close from seeing the blade broken off at the trial. >> given that stoltz returned to the scene rather than call police, they believe he armed himself not out of fear but revenge. >> i don't think my son did anything wrong that night. i really don't. and i can see when he came back why brian went over here and said, why are you back? i mean, i would have. brian didn't know how to fight against a knife. he was just a kid. and there was no way. and he just slaughtered him. >> i should have called the police. >> why didn't you call the police? >> never crossed my mind. i was so obsessed with getting my things and going. i wanted out of the condominium. i wanted out of that environment. i wanted to go home. i wanted to go back to california where i was comfortable. it was ju
