rahimi harrison grody that sounds so crazy 104.3 the score wow i like that middays 10 to 2 on 104.3 the score this is rahimi harrison grody on 104.3 the score keep listening we have an easter egg for you Metaphorically speaking.
Aw.
Well, I mean, it's just not that time of year yet.
I want an egg now.
Palm Sunday is this Sunday. After Palm Saturday here on the score, by the way. How about that? It's actually going to be Palm Saturday on Palm Saturday.
What do you do with that palm when you get home with it?
What factors are influencing Caleb Williams' potential extension?
I put it over my door.
Aw.
Yeah.
That's nice. That's a good idea.
Yeah. Sorry the answer was so automatic and quick. But yes, that was my training, if you will. So that's where I put it.
Asked and answered.
How did Pete Crow-Armstrong's extension impact the Cubs?
Speaking of asking, we are asking the question, who's the next Chicago athlete other than Caleb Williams? Because it's Caleb Williams. He gets his own exemptions here that we think will be the next to receive an extension. I do think Caleb Williams is getting extended. How do I know? Because Ryan Poles mentioned it. He said he's not there yet, but he knows that that is something that is top of mind for the Bears. That was addressed. That was specifically discussed. I don't think you're far off for me in just giving Kayla Williams the given there.
What are the prospects for Colson Montgomery's future with the Cubs?
I agree with you. Ryan Poles has everything in the world to want to have that happen after his rookie year when we were all questioning Caleb Williams. And based on what he did in the second half of last year and some of the things he still needs to tighten up, oh yeah, I agree with you.
Yes. Direct Ryan Poles has had a couple of hits with me recently. Oh. Yeah. Direct Ryan Poles. It's kind of like Podcast Russ. It's just a different version of these people that we know.
Why is Nico Horner considered a key player for the Cubs' future?
Yeah. When he's like, oh, we have a lot of tough decisions to make regarding a DJ Moore question. When he didn't even have to bring that in. Direct Ryan Poles showed you how he felt. I feel like Direct Ryan Poles also showed us how he felt about Caleb Williams.
Yeah, hey, no matter what you want to say about Ryan Poles, he's always been much more, let's just say, relative to his predecessors, especially Ryan Pace. And we can go on and on with Phil Emery and Jerry Angelo. I don't know how far you want to go back. You usually don't get transparency. Jerry Angelo could be pretty transparent at times, but that was just out of anger and frustration with the media at times.
What role does Conor Bedard play in the Blackhawks' future contracts?
So we asked the question, other than Kayla Williams, because direct Ryan polls indicated that that's happening. Who's next to be extended in Chicago? We already got a good answer, I think, from our text line. Yeah? 815 says Colson Montgomery will be next.
That was mine!
Oh, no way!
Ugh!
God. Got all the numbers up.
How do recent performances affect Darnell Wright's contract situation?
Okay, so tell me why you think that. No. Because that's all 815 said.
You spoiled my answer. How dare you go to the text line first?
Well, it was just staring me in the face and I couldn't read. My God.
Yeah, the guy played in 71 games last year. Hit 21 home runs. This pisses me right off.
What insights can be gained from the discussion on Chicago athletes' extensions?
What? 55 RBIs in those 71 games last year. And we were just talking about how, and it was a different regime, it was Rick Hahn and how they were very good at taking care of the arbitration years with Luis Robert and Eloy Jimenez. And I know it didn't work out, but if he continues to do this on this trajectory, then I think it would be a good idea to buy out his years and give him some sort of extension. There, fine. What else you got from the texters? Layla.
Well, I mean, I just thought it was a good point because if there was any team who might want to, I don't know, have some, quote, intelligent spending, end quote, and lock down their core and start at shortstop, a guy who's certainly paid off in a way that was unexpected last year because, well, we thought he was going to start the league, you know, start the year at the league level, and then he had injuries, and then he had to get his head right with balls, so to speak.
A weird path. Wasn't he all alone?
Circuitous in Arizona. Yeah. It's just the babies all alone.
Well, you remember Nico Horner did one of his afternoon appearances on Spiegel and Holmes, coming up in a little bit here of a transition.
