 job 1 2 and 3 is it pitching starting pitching for you this offseason and then other things that you have to fill in but if you can only do a couple would it be pitching I mean we had to do more than a couple but we need multiple starters and you know the highest level category to possibly find the better we do have a can see that of the bullpen with you know currently the free agency of Britain and Robertson obviously those are important roles in the pen whether those guys come back whether it's supporting somebody else you know we need to tend to the pen and then you know obviously how are we going to react to the DD injury we obviously can you know because when Glavor tour is over to shortstop his natural position and and backfill at second base or we can you know you know look to import a shortstop and read Glavor a second so you know that's how this winner is going to take us priority wise it's hard to say I think starting pitching is the highest level priority and then the rest of it's just as important but but even though I said just as important the starting pitchings the most important did you believe that CC was your best option as a 5th starter is there just something else about him that you want to lock him in for that one more year I mean we know the player we know what he's capable of doing we know you know I think he's been very productive for us every step of the way he's not the same picture he was when we obviously first got him in here but he's still someone that that you know induces some of the weakest contact in Major League Baseball and so that's that's a real positive attribute and obviously even though we know what is going to be times it's going to have to go down and get a blow because of the knee that's a lot of value and he provides meaningful innings for a team that's obviously you know intended to be a contender so whether he was the best best starter or not he was one we're certainly comfortable with both on the field of competition and in that clubhouse so I thought there was good value for us and I thought that he was someone that would could have made more probably if he was willing to go elsewhere but he was unwilling to do that because this is now his home for him and his family as he's finishing off but what we all believe is a Hall of Fame type career and and so I thought it was great value for the back of our rotation and someone that you know we know and that we trust and you know we've benefited from and we're gonna count on him again next year Brian Caspian you've seen your VP and general manager joining us here on the Michael case so you've been quoted and been interviewed before where you said that there is close to a robust a robust trade market for Sonny Gray so when people continue to want to trade with you for Sonny Gray Brian does it give you pause well maybe we could fix it here and he could be the picture that everybody thinks he's gonna be but he could be in pinstripes you know his kind here is gonna expire and you know a lot of people ask me like hey you seem to be talking about Sonny Gray a lot it's like I'm responding to the questions in a very direct person so I just want to clarify that to make sure people don't take them taking shots at Sonny or taking Sonny I just I think I'm just being honest about circumstance and yeah I could keep waiting on after a year and a half of a different result but I don't think that's gonna benefit us the odds are against it I think that he's a tremendous starting pitcher I think we targeted a hell of a talented player in person but when the dust settles it's not something that works here for whatever reason and so I've recognized that and I'm gonna make an adjustment because of that and I think you know there's a lot of the population of major baseball teams clearly that real recognize his value that he will be the guy that he wasn't Oakland up the guy who was here if they acquire him and so we're going through that process and at some point we'll land a plane and put him in a better position to be you know the best he can be because New York doesn't bring the best out of him it's not a it's not a knock on him it's not a wrap on him this is a unique environment to try to compete in and and you know sometimes it brings out the best people sometimes it doesn't and simple he's extremely talented very well like in that club house and he's gonna be on top of the game again and just unfortunately just won't be here in the pink
