 Michael's up to Jonathan. He's in completely in favor of this. Jonathan and Franklin Square. Thank you, Peter I just want to say last week the interview was so good with clappish and um, I Forget the other man So I am a huge fan, but I bought the book it arrived today. Oh cool The interview was great. And I've been a fan of this show for a very long time I've been a fan of Peter on high seven before he was on the show. So I'm coming from I'm coming from a place of Just you know love, but you guys couldn't be any more wrong Michael you told me or you told the whole Listening audience that you wouldn't even sign the ground if he was 26 That's essentially saying that you'd have an organizational policy against resigning any player before free agency No, no, no, no two years before three years before. Yes a pitcher I would never sign two years before if you're not going to sign him At one point the team the question was How would we ever sign harvey mats? Digram wheeler and cinder guard because they're all looked like they were on a trajectory for stardom Now it looks like you've only got one which is the ground And harvester the uh cinder guard is you know a little bit less of a tier. You're not going to pay them You're not gonna I want to I want to talk with you People said they should have signed harvey to how would that have worked out? So they dodged the bullet number two. I'm all for keeping digram. He should be a career met Wait till at the end of this year. He still has another year after this that they controlled him Why are you why are you rushing to this extension now? Why would you want to have so many players over over playing their Salary and not show them that you want to show them they're getting paid Jonathan he's gonna he would get paid more in arbitration next year that he's getting in his contract So let me ask you a question. What would you do if confordo? Dominic Smith Alonzo wheel if they all have great years you would let all of them No, Jonathan Jonathan if you listen to the show I have a different rule of thumb for pitchers, especially older pitchers Kyle Hendricks just signed a deal. I get it. And you know what a lot cheaper than jacob degrand. He's not as good I understand, but he's thinking he's making a third of what he makes. So well, no, he's not He's making like what 20 27 and a half And and and he's making like 15. So that's not a third. Well, it's like four years 50 million 50 50 so So so would you want every player hit free agent? No, but no No, I said at the end of this year and they still have a year left I don't want him to become a free agent But why are you signing him two years ahead of when he can become a free agent? Why he's answered me that? Because you want to show other show what? I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna tell you because you don't just sign players in a vacuum, right? Like when you sign a player for a certain amount of money that money is now Used up you can't say when other players and other teams and other gms and other they all see how things go You can't just write yours. In fact, that's worse though. That's worse You're setting the bar now that everyone needs to get paid early But you know what the the astros didn't give verlander the contract after they want in the world series They waited a year sale. They waited a year. He wins the world series They gave him a contract a year before he became a free agent Jonathan We want to re-sign to gromp. We want to gromp to be on this team forever Why did it have to be now and not next year? I know I I'm gonna make a statement. I know he's not on the same level as a player clearly But my trout had two years left. Would you have waited till next year? Jonathan you're not let goodbye if you're not gonna listen then take a walk I said there's different rules for pitchers and for position players He's so
