The Cubs, big expectations, but you expect Pete and they expect Pete to be a big part of it.

And you're like, you know what?

If we're going all in or the Cubs version of all in and you make the moves they made and bring Bregman in and you look at their roster after the 2026 season where they have money freed up and you're like, okay.

We believe in Pete and his talents, and we believe that he's a guy at a premier position that we can have locked in for a long time and maybe have some value if we do this now.

Maybe this is the right time to do it.

I don't know the answer to it.

And I think, if I had to take my best guess, I think PCA is an 800 OPS guy

with a premier glove in center field, which I think makes you an all-star.

So if you're saying he's an all-star caliber player and we don't have the numbers yet and there's reporting going on and people trying to figure that out, I think from conversations I've had in the last 12 hours,

And for everybody out there, contract extensions are based on player comps.

So when a team, an agency get together and say, hey, let's talk about an extension, you're talking about, okay, what are the comparables, the comparables in the last, we'll call it five years to this guy.

And so I made a list because I knew I was going to talk with you guys about it.

For PCA,

If you're talking about centerfielders or outfielders who are in his age range that have been extended in the last four years, you're talking about Julio Rodriguez, Seattle Mariners, who signed a 12-year, $209 million extension.

Then you have Jackson Merrill was 9 for 135.

Roman Anthony, beginning of last season, was 8 for 130.

And then Corbin Carroll was 8 for 111.

Corbin Carroll, yeah.

So if I'm thinking about what these numbers are going to be,

Because Pete already has some service time, and a lot of those guys didn't have a ton of service time, this might be a six or seven year type of extension where you buy out all the arbitration years and then you add on a couple of the first years of free agency.
