 So Stephen Strasberg, according to our Jeff Passon, has signed a $35 million dollar a year deal to return to the national seven years, $245 million, shattering every single record. So we told you that the average annual value on the contract of grant key is 34.5, but because it's deferred payments, it's just 31.5. I don't think that coal, because he has so many suitors. And so did Strasberg. I don't think he's gonna take deferred money. The nationals are famous for deferred money. That's why Anthony Rendon turned down the offer they gave him during the season, and he's gonna end up cashing in. But I just wonder, with Strasberg getting this, and Strasberg's a really good pitcher, he's not as good as coal. He was great in the postseason, he's not as good as coal, he's older than coal. What's coal getting? And then are there gonna be people that come out of the woodwork if the Yankees end up giving him $38, $39 million a year for eight years to say, well, the Yankees are just buying a world series. So I've always said the Yankees can't win any situations, Don. They're either too greedy or they're too cheap. There's no in between. So they have waited over the years, they've never made that big commitment now to any free agent, and this is the guy they look like they're zeroed in on, and they're gonna have to outbid the angels in the Dodgers. So where do they stand if they win? They get looked at with derision? I don't think you have to worry about that. Now, Brian Cashman has a history of worrying about that, but he's got two passions here. He's got liking to build, where he doesn't look like he's operating with a checkbook to win his championships. But this is his white whale. This is the kid that he wasn't able to get. So I'm sure the pendulum's swinging back and forth. We had a caller say you gotta do it for the fans. I don't know, did the Yankees think that way? I mean, their fan base is so strong, Michael. They worry people aren't gonna show up to their games. They won 100 games last year. They're still a very good team. Even without Cole, their chances of winning the championship got better because Cole's no longer in Houston, right? And especially if he signs with a nationally team, the Yankees are a better spot than they were last year. So I don't think the fans, they'll be disappointed, but I don't think they're gonna turn on them to the point where they're not gonna go to the games, they're not gonna watch or listen to the ball games. That's not gonna happen. The fan base is too passionate for that. No, no. It is a lot of money, and it could be a long, long term as well. My colleague, yes, Jack Curry, tweeting out reporting that Brian Cashman is expected to make, quote, a very, very competitive offer to Garrett Cole today. So let's put that into English. It's gotta be way more than Strasburg made. So a very, very competitive offer when you know the Dodgers and the Angels are lurking and the kid is from the West Coast. I think you're starting. You're starting point they offered him has to be 37 and a half million dollars a year. Yeah, it would have to. And then it's either seven or eight years. Because what are you doing, Michael? You know Scott Borus wants to exceed Strasburg's contract. So if you're gonna offer something that isn't significantly better, you're not dancing with this agent. He's not gonna play the fool here. I mean, a competitive offer, they can't walk in there like where the Yankees, we've got a closer chance to win a championship than these other teams that are trying to bid for you. We've got a better chance to win than the White Sox do. So take a discount. I mean, you're not working with an agent that's gonna take any kind of a discount here. So when you talk about being competitive, is that even the word to use competitive? Competitive means that it's going to be in the vicinity. Competitive means you're gonna have to maybe surpass. Well, you definitely have to surpass Strasburg. So I'd say if Strasburg got seven, Cole's gonna want eight. Now the only way that Cole doesn't want eight is if he wants to become a free agent again at the age of 36. But then knowing Borus, it could be an eight year deal with a five year out. Because that's how Strasburg was able to cash in. It was a seven year deal he signed previously and an out after the third year. So he still had four years and a hundred million dollars remaining on his contract. And he turned that into seven years at 35 million a year. Amazing. So last year there was nothing going on. Stagnant free agent market. Nobody wanted Harper. Nobody wanted Machado. And now there's this. And just think about if you're Scott Borus. So the average baseball agent makes 4% of a player's contract. He's already signed Moustakis for 65 million. He signed Strasburg for 245. So let's just round out 300 million. He's got Cole who's gonna come in to close to 300 million. So that's 600 million and he's got Rendon. Let's say 250 million. That's 850 million. And then he's got other players as well. Dallas Keiko, let's just say that at the end of this off season, he's gonna have a billion dollars in contracts. He gets 4% of it. That's pretty good. Yeah, not too bad. That's very, very good. So he'll make around 40 million dollars this summer. Is it just 44% of a billion? Or is it 400? Yeah, I guess it's 40. I'm very smart. When it comes to money you are.
