You don't get bored by baseball.

Okay, one thing the game needs is more people like you, you, you.

Still have grown men run around tight hands.

The good thing about this offseason is that, yes, why it's been...

ragged out quite a bit.

There has been news almost every single day.

It doesn't seem like we have a day where there hasn't been some sort of news.

I thought it might be on Saturday, but it wasn't because thanks to Hector Gomez, he broke the story that the Guardians are on the verge of giving Jose Ramirez a contract extension, a sizable contract extension, the type of contract extension that makes us

want to do this podcast and talk about Jose Ramirez.

So reportedly it would be for seven years, $175 million through the age of the 39 is 39 year old season, $70 million deferred.

Now that's a big part of this whole equation because as we know, you know, there might be a change after this new collective bargain agreement, whenever that may come or

Hopefully it's sooner than later, but there might be some crackdowns on deferred money.

And so maybe the Cleveland Guardians are getting out ahead of it and they are giving the deferred money.

They are saying, Jose Ramirez, we know that you have three years left on your contract.

On that contract extension you signed, by the way, which was seven years, $141 million.

You had three years left on it, but still at $69 million, by the way.

But still, we want to get out ahead of this, and we want to give the deferred money why we can still give the deferred money.

Because, yes, Jose Ramirez, you are a very, very good player, and I want to talk about what a good player he is.

It is kind of amazing.

You look at that extension, seven years, $141 million.
