I'm fired up, man.

There's a lot of people who have been cynical, Joe, and I totally get it.

That being said, it made sense for both sides.

I saw some people on social media, like Reds fans, saying, why would Griffin sign there for nine years?

Doesn't he know what he's just done?

Yeah, he knows what he's done.

I think they have a chance to be pretty damn good right now.

As long as he's here, they could have one of the very best players in Major League Baseball, and he's going to hit free agency when he's 28 years old.

Yeah, I don't think people realize how young he is.

Right, and if something, God forbid, happened to him or he didn't pan out,

He's going to be rich for the rest of his frigging life.

Yeah, I was going to say, it doesn't matter what organization you're playing for.

If you're 19 committing to $140 million guaranteed.

Right?

Yeah.

You have to do that.

Yeah.

I don't think people would know if I made 140 million bucks.

I think I'd behave exactly the same way now.

Now, if I was 19, it'd be bad.
