You.
You.
You.
You.
You.
Can I ask you about that, though?
Because that's one that bothered me as much, if not more, than Alonzo.
Because the way I look at it is, Cease has finished top four in Cy Young voting twice in the last five years.
He's, what, 30 years old?
It was a seven-year deal, Bradfo.
So when that deal's done, he's going to be 37.
Sonny Gray, who they traded for, I know it's a one-year deal, but he's 36.
So when his deal's done, he's going to be 37.
Cease is the better player and younger, yet they went... To me, that is kind of the encapsulation of what you're talking about.
Rather than go for the big free agent who is younger and better and would be the same age when the contract ends...
They went for the guy that maybe some of their models liked better.
His strikeout rate was higher, and he's cheaper and shorter term.
No, but I – go ahead, John.
