Bob Pompiani

Bobby Wood Jr.

signed in 11 years, $288 million in February 24th.

So I would expect, as we've heard all show since this news came down around 4, that there was not just a call-up, there was going to be a contract.

I would think this is kind of a...

narrative-changing, shifting day for the Pirates, that tons of fans who have had their doubts have to admit finally, yeah, they're acting like they want to win, and they're doing things, not just for the next few months, but to keep themselves competitive and relevant for a long time.

All right, Bob, we just laid out our expectations for Conor Griffin.

Adam Crowley said he expects Griffin to be better than Jared Triolo.

We thought that was a mouthful.

Malzi said he expects Jared Triolo to have a better... No, no, no, no, no.

Oh, not Triolo.

Malzi expects Connor Griffin to have a better Pirates career than Andrew McCutcheon.

And I decided to one-up him and say, I think Connor Griffin will have a better Pirates career than Barry Bonds.

Where does Bob come down on things?

No All-Star games his first four years, though, Bob.

I think Connor Griffin gets one his first four.

He might get one this year.

Bob, what do you think about the timing of the decision to call him up and what might have gone into it behind the scenes?

All right.

We're going to play this game, Bob.

I'm going to give you a stat, and I want you to give me what you expect Connor Griffin's number to be in 2026 for that stat.
