It's absolutely ridiculous.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

But it's a factual situation that's going on right now that we might be able to go after.

Is it a 10% chance?

Yeah.

But Kyle should pick up the phone and ask.

And I'm sure, to a certain degree, he already has.

Hey, real quick on Connor.

We're coming up on a lockout probably that's going to give us a floor and a ceiling.

I think you absolutely give him eight years, $120 to $140 million.

At the same time, you give serious consideration to give him a contract that Paul deserves because you're going to have the money available if the negotiations go the way everybody thinks they're going to go this way around.

And now you have those two cornerstones for the next eight years with whatever else you put around them.

No, I think – so remember, they're going to force – I don't think you get a cap in baseball without getting a floor.

So the Pirates are going to have to spend considerably more than they've been spending.

coming out of the negotiations if MLB gets a cap.

And so I think you get your smart people together and you go down that road and figure out if there's a way to do it for both of them.

But I think you absolutely sign Conor now because you can afford to sign Conor now and no matter what happens from negotiations, keep him at $15 million a year.

Talk to you all later.

Hey, Joe.

How are you, buddy?
