Click the play button below to hear Joe McDonald's comments, recorded this morning from Las Vegas. The topics: What it's like to cover the meetings in Las Vegas, whether the Red Sox are genuinely interested in CC Sabathia, the latest on Mark Teixeira and Jason Varitek, and why Joe thinks Rocco Baldelli might be a Red Sox player soon.

Here's an excerpt from what Joe said about Baldelli:

"The Red Sox are interested in acquiring his services, because they know that he is going to be a very solid right-handed bat off the bench, and a fourth outfielder. They know that ... he can't play every day. ... You have to think that he'll end up in Boston. ... It probably won't get done this week; if I had to put money on it, I'd say that the Rocco thing will probably happen before anything else does for the Red Sox."
