It could be quarterback Kate Clubman.

It could be quarterback Andrew Filippone.

You have a different opinion of giant parties than I do.

Right.

Yeah.

No, that's a true story.

But again, it was a very small sampling.

This would be a larger party.

joe your initial thoughts on that 240 to 160 140 to 160 so the pirates would be 80 million dollars below the dodgers instead of what what are they now 200 right now they're at 100 million of the dodgers has spent about 400 million so it's about a 300 million dollar difference so it would be better yeah much better would still be 80 million dollars from the highest spenders you'd have a ton of team spending 240 and then you're assuming that uh

that the pirates would be making wise decisions i guess compared people don't talk enough about the dodgers also being smart i also under every contract what do you mean deferring every contract no no with the draft with international free just a smart baseball organization in addition to spending they pull in like every great japanese player now yeah um

What was I going to say?

Oh, I wonder what Bob Nutting's stomach would be for $160 million payroll mandated.

That would get me very curious.

Yeah.

It's going to have to come with increased revenue sharing or markets and owners like the Pirates and Bob Nutting are going to have no stomach for it, which for a lot of people might be a good thing in the end.

That might force them to sell the team.

But every time you get –

salary floor like that you're going to have to fortify the smaller market teams with more money to be able to get up to that with more you know baseball welfare to be able to get up to that i think that's just a natural thing i've long thought that the floor was more important here than what the cap would be because you're always going to get those crazy spenders but if they at least forced these small market teams to spend yeah to x amount you know if they make them spend 160

Man, I'll tell you this much.

You just said you don't think the big market owners will go for that.
