00:00The Chapman deal we were just talking you and I off air about Snell

00:05He threw 43 pitches today and then never came out for the second inning

00:09You almost think it's because of what and then do you think Chapman's deal?

00:17Well, obviously it's a good deal for Chapman getting 150 million dollars. Do you think he's worth that kind of money in six years?

00:23Yeah, I think it may be just how he plays great defense. He showed clubhouse leadership

00:30Steady guy 22 home runs. So yeah, I mean if someone had offered that to him last winter, he would have signed

00:37I think the Blue Jays were around 110 120 at one point and

00:42Never got what he wanted. So yeah great deal for him

00:46And I think he knew that hey

00:48He wasn't gonna do any better than free agent market and the Giants at least and get that

00:53Solved without worrying about third baseman because they're not too many third baseman out there Alex Bregman is about it

01:00So that's like a market valued type of deal is you know, I don't think he's spectacular or anything

01:07I don't think he's bad. Is that just market price? I

01:12Think so 25 million dollars a year

01:15By his market price it means Alex Bregman from the Astros will get over that at one point

01:21I think he was thinking 300 that's not going to happen

01:24But I think it kind of paves the way for him to get you know around the 200 million dollar mark

01:29From somebody because there's still about four or five teams out there that need third baseman
