And they're going to call him up regardless.

Listen, he has no control over that.

They can do what they want because he doesn't have that.

He has his entry-level first-year contract.

That's what he's going to get unless it changes.

Now, maybe they've agreed that you come up because we believe in you and we'll continue these conversations as we go.

But so far, it doesn't seem like there's an extension.

No, not yet.

But he's 19 and I'm glad to see it.

No, no.

In fact, I don't think there's any necessary rush to get it done.

I think there should be.

You think that's going to change it by $100 million?

He can also go in.

He can start and do badly.

He could.

Does that mean they're going to back off of a contract?

I don't think so.

I think it'll fit in where it fits in regardless of what he does, good or bad, up here for the start of the season.

Now, if they go through the entire season and he doesn't have a deal and he hits 320 and he steals 50 bases and all this stuff that goes on, now things change.
