That's it.

And you mentioned Max Fried and how they pivoted to crochet.

The Red Sox of old would have done both things.

Like, the Red Sox of old signed David Price and traded for Chris Sale.

You know, like, that's the difference, though, now.

Because you want to say, oh, they're not cheap now, whatever.

Fine, but they're less willing to spend than they were.

And now they're going to tell us now, oh, we're going to pay Crochet more because his extension kicks in.

We're going to pay Anthony more.

Go get me a goddamn first baseman.

They've needed two front-line starters, Bradford, for three years.

You know what's going to happen?

Sonny Gray will have a good year, and they'll throw it in our face and say, see, this is why we got him and not Dylan Cease.

It's the same value.

It's the same thing.

Then they'll get to a playoff game, and Sonny Gray, when 13 years only has six playoff starts...

might not pitch well, and Dylan Caesar, whoever you want to name, will pitch well, and then we'll sit here and say, okay, who are they going to sign next time around?

Like, what's the next guy?

Look at Matsuzaka in 07.

Price and sale in 08.
