Well, it's Wiggy's Talking Football, Courtney's Talking Duke.
00:03
I am focused on one thing and one thing only today, and that is, Curtis, baseball.
00:08
Thank God.
00:09
Baseball's back.
00:10
Can we get back to baseball?
00:12
Baseball is back, and Alex Cora was on this radio station yesterday afternoon, as he will
00:20
be throughout the Red Sox season, and he talked a little bit about his expectation for Garrett
00:28
Crochet this season.
00:29
We're about to see, but physically he is.
00:30
This guy's a monster.
00:31
He's big and strong, and the way he goes about his business in the training room, in the
00:37
weight room, is ace-like, right?
00:39
But now, obviously, we've got to go out there every five days and prove it.
00:43
We're going to let him go.
00:46
The expectation is 30-plus starts, and help us win as many games as possible.
00:51
And I truly believe physically he's different than others.
00:55
You'll see him.
00:56
He's ready to go, and we have to be smart about it, too.
00:58
The way the season starts, there's a lot of games early on, then the schedule actually
01:03
benefits us from June, July, and August, so we'll take care of him, and if we do that,
01:08
he's going to take care of us.
01:09
OK.
01:10
They're going to let him go.
01:11
So 30 starts.
01:12
Does the price go up as long as, I mean, if it's all of those 30 starts and you get great
01:19
starts out of them, does the price go up by the end of this season?
01:24
Hell yeah, it goes up.
01:26
That's why I'm kind of with Bossman on this.
01:29
Do your best to sign him now, because the price is going to go through the roof.
01:34
Let's say you can get him, and I don't know the number, I know people are like, well,
01:38
he's not going to do 27 million what Yamamoto makes, they're like the same age.
01:42
Let's say you get him for 30 million.
01:44
Max Freed, I think, is getting 36 million a year.
01:48
I don't know what Garrett Cole's number is, I think it's like 33, but I think Freed's
01:53
the highest paid pitcher.
01:54
So if he has 30 starts and a great season, don't you think that number that he's going
02:00
to want is north of $35, $36 million a year, and you're going to have to pay him 10 years
02:06
similar to what you paid Garrett Cole, because he's only 25 years old, so he's going to be
02:11
looking for a 10-year deal north of, what, $350 million?
02:15
Yeah.
02:16
Well, you said $400 million, Curtis, right?
02:18
Yes.
