That deal and what you're saying about like the bad spending of money is one of my biggest concerns with the lockout and with the potential. voice-verified

Of a salary floor where you now have teams that are required to meet a threshold and they're just gonna be giving dumb money to whoever's available that offseason just to get them up to the minimum. voice-verified

And then they're gonna be handcuffed with these bad deals with people that shouldn't be making that money. voice-verified

I mean, I hope it doesn't happen just because Tampa is always used as the example of look, there is a way to do it on the cheap and not have to have pay run do it. voice-verified

And we can be the raise. voice-verified

And it's like, but voice-verified

You can't be the Rays because you're not the Rays and you're not smart enough. voice-verified

You're just a cheap team. voice-verified

And also, Andrew Friedman was great with the Rays. voice-verified

And look how great he is when he has a lot of money. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

First opportunity he got. voice-verified

When he had the opportunity to either have no money or have all the money to build a baseball team, he said, You know what I'd like to do? voice-verified

Have all of the money to build a baseball team. voice-verified

And I'll spend sixty million dollars a year on an outfielder who hates being here. voice-verified

And it doesn't really matter whether he plays or not, because we'll just figure out a way to plug that hole another way. voice-verified

So voice-verified

You know another thing about the Rays that bothers me as like someone down here in Miami who now has like a bunch of Rays, like former executives running the team and they're gonna be the new Rays. voice-verified

And then like, wow, look, they really know what they're doing because they had a hot June, but then since have had losing months ever since. voice-verified

The thing that bothers me about the Rays and why I hope the Rays never win the World Series is similar to my, and this is just petty hatred. voice-verified
