00:00John Henry smoking cigars posting on social media are the Boston f-ing Red Sox back, baby
00:11Listen life life is good. I'm sitting up by the pool. They got Bregman
00:14I mean, I'm styling right now and they are as well. I think it helps in so many levels. He's a good player winning player
00:21Kind of brings the approach you want it to play give you quality of bat doesn't strike out and then on the financial side
00:27It's like dude. Yeah, you finally
00:29Recognize somebody you want and you went out and got him you paid a little extra for him and it just proves to people
00:34That maybe they're back into the spending game again, or they are
00:38So Lou just to sort of like from from what you understand how the negotiations went down
00:43Can you sort of stitch together a loose?
00:44Timeline for us and the fans at large because it seemed like Bregman was a no-doubter
00:49Then there was a big ask then it felt like our Notto was the way to go and next thing, you know last night
00:54It's 1040 at night and BAM Bregman three for 120
00:58Yeah, I think to be honest with you that I think there were a lot of people like surprised
01:03That that ended up working out there was really not much communication for a while
01:08Then there was an offer and I believe was in that three 100 range with deferred monies
01:13But there was just they knew maybe Bregman side Boris
01:15they knew it wasn't the best offers and and when you started getting
01:18six-year deals from Detroit and and and trying to get a five-year deal from the Cubs and
01:23Toronto's involved Houston's involved
01:25it just sort of looked like the Red Sox weren't going to budge off their three-year ask and
01:29If that was the case, it was like up to about two or three days ago
01:32I people telling me that they're being more aggressive on Arenado and it was like, all right
01:36well Bregman is going to get his five six years somewhere and then they're going to trade for Nolan Arenado, but
01:42All along it was like these deals were out there for Bregman and you never signed them
01:46And it started to make you feel like he was waiting for that final offer from the Red Sox, right?
01:51Like he wanted to hit here. It's like Minute Maid short left porch if you wanted to play for Cora
01:56he kind of you know saw the minor league system saw
01:59Then and finally, I think they upped it from 100 to 120 and got the deal done
