00:00This is from Mark Fine Sand. Yeah, yeah. Red Sox appear hesitant to spend what it will take for

00:04Corbin Burns. That's okay. Not great. The next line, I gasped. It was a gasp. I gasped when I

00:13read the next line. So, okay, they're not going to pay Corbin Burns. Weird. How could you possibly

00:17wrap your head around that? I'm shocked. I was giving them much more slack than you,

00:20Keith. I'm like, they have 70 million under the CBT to spend for God's sakes this year.

00:26They offered around 700 million to Juan Soto. I'm like, they're going to get one of these guys.

00:33They don't get Corbin Burns. Okay. I don't love that. The next line, I couldn't believe. Well,

00:37Freed's gone. They're not going to get Burns. They're hesitant to spend on Burns.

00:41Who do they got? They could now pursue a reunion. What? Oh, Pedro? Not of all,

00:49did he just sign? No. A reunion with Nick Pavetta. Sorry? Nick Pavetta. Nick Pavetta.

00:55Find me a team. God, please. No. According to Mark, find, find me a team that can turn

01:01Juan Soto and Corbin Burns into Nick Pavetta. That was insane. I read the same thing like three

01:07times. I was like, you're like the Nick Pavetta that was here. That was like Bradford had a tweet

01:12yesterday. He's like the Red Sox view Michael Fulmer as a starter. And I was like, okay,

01:17like now's not the time for that. Who cares what they think of Michael Fulmer right now?

01:22That is insane to me. Nick Pavetta. Juan's in the Red Sox mind. Juan Soto. It's the triple

01:28office meme where they're all aiming at each other, all drawing guns on each other.

01:32It's a triple office meme. It's Juan Soto. It's Corbin Burns and Nick Pavetta. And they're all

01:38just like, oh, the same player. Nick Pavetta. Okay. They make it who had a lot of strikeouts

01:43out of the pen the last season or the season before that. Honestly, not all. Hates the pitch

01:48clock. Not a horrible player, but like not a good one. Fifth starter. Yeah. So Corbin Burns is a

01:54true ace. Max Freed is an ace. It's certainly on this team. He is. I know we got paid a ton of

02:02money and one of the, one of the biggest contracts ever, but that's, that's the thing is if you're

02:06waiting until free agency to help your team, you're going to have to overpay.
