Bryan Hayes

That can factor into what could happen in the future.

But the reason I bring that up is – and Ernie knows this, obviously.

He has two more years of team control.

They don't have to give him a long-term deal.

They could just go to arbitration, pay him, go to arbitration, pay him.

And that would be the concern, I think, of your Clement –

I'm sure he wants a long-term deal.

Give me four, five, six years.

Give me money.

I want to be here.

We know he loves Toronto.

He loves being a Blue Jay.

But they may be looking at JoJo Parker or Nimela or whoever and saying, two years from now, that guy's going to be ready to pop, and he's playing second base.

Or he's playing shortstop, and where's Clement going to mix in?

So that's the concern I think that he's got.

But that's two years from now still, Noodles, right?

He's got to keep playing.

Ernie's got to because he got to the majors late.

So the clock didn't really start on his contract, his professional deal, until mid-20s.

And the Jays, they're going to be ruthless.
