00:00I'm not concerned about it. Like we talked about it Friday when Ken had that lead. I
00:05look like, let this, let this, you have them locked down for two, right? You're paying
00:11them. Uh, I said three and a half Ken suggested Saturday for, I don't know where he's getting
00:15the extra 500 from, but somewhere between three and a half, $4 million for this season.
00:20I think you're D he's due six next year. Like I would like let this season play out and
00:26then you get a deal done with him once he has played a full season for your baseball
00:30team.
00:31Yeah. But if you're, if you're one of the people that falls in that the red Sox don't
00:35like to spend money and all, they don't want to, they don't want to spend money on elite
00:40talent, then you should be leaning more with Ken, get the deal done. Because at the end
00:46of the season, if he performs and he pitches well, that price tag is going to go through
00:50the roof.
00:51I think that from the player's perspective, excuse me, Curtis, uh, I think he expects
00:56that he is going to be the highest paid pitcher in major league baseball. Now that's not going
01:00to change. I don't think he expects that. I don't, I think if he's like, you know, reasonable
01:07and he looks at some of the money that like, you know, like I think Corbin Burns is getting
01:12like 33 million a year. I think he looks at it like he should be somewhere around 27,
01:1728. I don't think the price is less now. I don't think that, I don't know, Curtis,
01:21what were you going to say?
01:22I know. I agree with you, Greg. I don't understand. This is so different. Like the owner's not
01:28spending money is fine. I agree. Why would you rush to sign this guy? When you have been
01:34burned by price and sale and other pitchers that you've paid at the top of the market,
01:39see how he does in Boston, see how he does this year. And then you're basically going
01:43to overpay. It's like buying your tickets, non-refundable or refundable. You got a full
01:48year and then you're going to have to overpay if he has a great year and it's a win-win.
01:52What's the downside with that?
