Well, and just because he's being promoted now, that doesn't mean that the contract extension talks are done.
I mean, if he comes up and hits three home runs in the first week.
You think that's going to change it by $100 million?
Not $100 million, but it's still going to.
We're talking about the Pirates here.
The Roman Anthony contract for the Red Sox, they could have afforded.
He can also go in.
It's a lot of pressure to put on the rookie.
He's being talked about as the next... It's added pressure.
He's probably up for it.
He's the next Soto, Trout, whatever you want to throw out there.
I would bat him fifth.
Fifth or sixth.
So, there's a lot of layers to this.
They clearly care about the PPI draft pick that's out there.
The...
the incentive to call up a prospect early in the season.
If they win rookie of the year, you're awarded a first round pick.
They had by 8th, April 9th to do that.
We heard that April 9th deadline is really not, you know, not a concrete one of when he could be up, but one where if they wanted to be able to have that compensation that they missed out on schemes, calling him up on May 11th instead of April 9th, April 10th, whatever.
