Laura Albanese

To Jonah Tong, to the band-aid.

I think that's just Boris.

I mean, this is just, by the way, this is just my opinion.

I don't have a source on this at all.

My read on this is just like, that's Boris kind of setting the high watermark, understanding that it's going to like Plinko down a little bit.

You know, like before that came out, I was looking at, which I thought was completely reasonable, like five years, five years, 150, something like that.

Probably stretch it to six years, you know, depending on whatever else you want to put in the contract, certain benchmarks, whatever else, team option, player option, whatever you want to do.

Seven years.

All right.

So, I mean, first of all, everyone is kind of latching on to this idea that Pete Alonzo is a defensively subpar first baseman, which the metrics absolutely sustain.

The reason Pete Alonzo is defensively subpar, though, isn't his ability to pick the ball, which is something that we don't really measure in any quantifiable way.

And that is his greatest strength.

They had Mark Vientos over in third base throwing the ball to God knows where.

And Pete finally found a way to get a glove on it.

But he has very, very limited range.

So that's something.

He works on it.

He works on it hard.

But that's not really, I think, that big of a hindrance in terms of his value.

We're talking 126 RBIs.
