you kind of have to you have to look at what the what each one offers and they all offer very different things and and that's just how you make you the most intelligent decision that you can kind of make for your situation but from there too right i mean because like you said money money is a factor 100 like that

And for a guy like Skeens, I think it's going to be an important factor, but I don't think Skeens necessarily cares about money, per se, as much as, let's say, a starter.

I don't know who in this current market would it be, but they want to have the highest annual average for a starting pitcher.

Those are two very different scenarios.

But it's one of those where it's like, dudes, all of your teams could do this.

Every single team in baseball can do what the Los Angeles Dodgers do.

They have just chosen not to for a litany of reasons.

And I'm not going to sit here and tell them how to run a business.

But in that same respect, I think Major League Baseball should step in and say everyone needs to at least spend this much.

And that's kind of where some of that quote unquote disparity or the lack thereof kind of gets mixed.

zoned out if you will but even then there's always going to be teams that are going to spend the minimum like that's all they're going to spend and nothing else and then that's i think there should be like a kicker where like hey if you'd spend x more than the minimum then you get a bigger portion of the rev share but if you don't then this is what you're getting and that's it there's no because that's the thing right all these fans that talk about all that and then it's like yo the dodgers are bankrolling some of your teams

Like literally just for luxury tax, the Dodgers are may call on some of these teams.

And so, so that's, I think one of the things that needs to get fixed, but that's the thing when you have that, like you use the example of, I have a $9 million house.

The sink sucks.

I'm going to sell it and buy another $9 million house.

The Dodgers have so much money that I don't think it's about the money per se for them.

It's a matter of getting the right fit for kind of their puzzle pieces that they need to make work.

And if it ends up costing them $240 million, $260 million, $300 million, they're unopposed to it because it makes sense for them because they'll find another way to leverage it somewhere else.

And that's how bankers work.

It's all about leverage.
