00:00I think Bregman is gonna be an albatross. I think it's gonna be something that is

00:04Net negative over the totality of that contract six years if the first three of them are decent. What is decent?

00:11I'm okay with that like the five years ago decent when he could hit you 30 40 home runs or the more we give you

00:16Between 20 and 25 home runs for those three years. So he's worse than Tyler O'Neill. Yeah, I'm expecting only played

00:22113 games and hit 31 home runs, right?

00:24I mean, I don't think he's gonna be better than Tyler O'Neill or the same as Tyler O'Neill

00:28I think it'd be worse than him, but it'll be spending a hundred and eighty million dollars on him

00:31Yeah, but that's not gonna mean much in the last three years of the contract in the last three years of the contract

00:36That's just gonna be a run-of-the-mill, you know, I'm sort of whatever contrast to this team got to any team

00:41That's the way the mark millions a lot

00:43Okay, selling me on 20 million dollar deal. Have you not seen the direction that these contracts are going in right now?

00:48It's not necessarily. Well, yeah, they're going very high elsewhere elsewhere

00:52They don't look at baseball leagues finance the same way that the rest of baseball looks at finance

00:57They still think 20 million dollars is a big deal. Like it's 2004. It's true. They look at it differently

01:02So I worry that while you're right, I think contracts are exploding

01:06I think that Tucker trade was a part of that because people see oh my god

01:10Soto got what the contracts are going through the roof. I think the Red Sox will look at a 30 million dollar deal as a

01:15massive contract

01:17Long period of time probably longer than they should longer than the rest of the world should they probably still think

01:22Eggs are like three bucks a carton. It's one banana Michael. What could have possibly cost?

01:28$7 that is an arrested development reference. He probably didn't yeah, I didn't get a good one. Thanks
