Probably in that 85 to 95 million dollar range with escalators that take it over 100 million, but it would fall in line with those deals.

Yeah, you save yourself some money and teams are always trying to do the let's pay them before they're like really, really good.

And that's how you get the Manny Machado, Bryce Harper, these guys that signed these massive Vladimir Guerrero Jr., even though he signed an extension.

But what he ended up getting, $500 million, is what he would have likely gotten had he hit free agency.

That's how you get those types of deals done.

And so I think for the Cubs, you're getting value because you don't necessarily have to pay top-of-market money.

But you're also rewarding Pete Crowe Armstrong and saying, we do believe in you being a foundational piece going forward.

And for a player, you're like, hey, I saw what I can be.

I also saw if things go the other way.

And while you still believe in yourself, we just never know.

Look at how hard it was for me to say who PCA is as a player, girls, when you asked me.

Because I don't know and I don't think Pete knows yet.

I was going to say he doesn't know.

I think he wants to know.

I think he saw what he can be.

but with such a high-variance type of player where it... I hate the term boom or bust, but that's what we saw last year.

A lot of boom in the first half, a lot of bust in the second half.

And so I think it's finding that consistency where you get that everyday player that is 800 OPS with the defense.

Yeah, you know, and I think for what that... And the White Sox were... And I know people were upset.

They were still able to move it at the end of the day.
