Sammy

He wasn't in his prime.

But Chris Young, the GM, identified a guy like, this is a guy that we need.

We're going to do whatever it takes to get him, even if it goes against all of our what...

our graphs and spreadsheets that we have internally.

Like this is not the same thing with Scooble going to the Mets, but this is kind of like throw it all out the window.

This guy is a mother effer.

Like we need this.

Sorry.

So if you're going to... If a team is going to make a trade for a guy like Tarek Skubal, and again, I don't think he's going to get moved.

I think the Tigers are going to run it back.

But if it does happen on the off chance, I think the return is going to be like 150% to 200% of what people think an expiring contract on a pitcher, even at Skubal's level, really should be.

It's going to look like a gross overpay because the Tigers have...

Not no reason, but very little reason to move him aside from he's on an expiring contract.

And by the way, I mentioned this earlier, but that little window you get of exclusive negotiating rights, it's a tough, tough sentence.

Exclusive tutivity.

The exclusive tutivity

window I think that's valuable too especially for a guy like Steve Cohen which is part of why I chose the Mets because they're one of the few teams I could see just not mortgaging the future but close to mortgaging the future for a guy like Scooble

You don't know.

It's like baseball cards.

Do you know that pitching baseball cards like rookies are less valuable than hitting baseball cards for the most part because hitters are so much more projectable?
