Jason Mackey

Well, that's the other thing.

No, I would think not.

I don't want to say it's nothing.

Is your name Jason, Bob?

Sorry, Jason.

I don't want to say...

nothing, but Skains' stance has been they want to win.

And I mean, Connor Griffin signing here obviously helps them win.

And if they're playing winning baseball and this place is turning into, you know, the craziness of 13, 14, 15, then yeah, I think you restart that conversation.

I think maybe the appetite is different.

I understand financially where he's at contract wise.

It's not great for the pirates.

How close he is to free agency, what the costs would be, et cetera.

But I, I mean, I would sure hope and think that, you know, they're playing winning baseball.

Don't you have to circle back to Paul schemes and see if he wants to have a conversation or try to,

you know, try to at least attempt something.

It has.

And, I mean, they have him for three years right now.

How many years of free agency is he going to give up, and what would that cost?

Like, is it worth taking on that risk if you're the Pirates?
