If he blows the contract out of the water, he's incredible.

He still is only 28 years old.

He's got $100 million in his hip, and he can go out and get 10 years and make $500 million.

So what are you suggesting there?

If I was Connor Griffin's dad and I'm from the Pirates, I think an $100 million contract is more than fair for both.

I think like seven and two, there's no way the Pirates are going to do much more than that because you're going to end up really paying him like $40 million a year and you're seven and eight.

Correct.

At the most.

The guy from Milwaukee, and I can't remember his name, I think he got like, yeah, what did he get?

Like, I think he got like 8 and 80.

Yeah, I think he got like 8 and 80.

I mean, the Pirates aren't bossing.

I think they can end up somewhere in between there and be a win-win.

And like, if you were Connor Griffin's dad and they were Pirates were offering 8 and 100, would you tell him to take it?

You're his father.

Well, we're not Boston.

I mean, we're not, you know, you would say no.

But the Pirates, that's crazy to do that.

I mean, the Pirates will be paying $40 million a year, basically, for year seven and eight.

But I'm saying if Griffin blows that, if he completely over, you know, he blows that out, he's okay.
