00:00And I would applaud the Red Sox if this is their plan, and they said this is their plan.
00:04Maybe this is evidence of John Henry turning a corner.
00:07We're going to lock up our young core.
00:09They're trying to do it with Campbell.
00:10They did it with, as you said, Raffaella and Bayo.
00:13They're trying to do it with Cassius, maybe not as successfully.
00:17We're going to lock these guys up and we're not going to spend 40, 45, 50 million a year
00:22in free agency.
00:23We're not doing that.
00:24So, OK, you're not going to do that.
00:25That's fine.
00:26There are other ways to flex your muscles when it comes to the financials, and the Red
00:32Sox have a big, big advantage over most of baseball when it comes to bottom line, how
00:37profitable they are, the deep pockets they have.
00:40This is another way to do it.
00:41And if this is how you want to do it, to avoid spending 300 million dollars on a pitcher
00:45in free agency, trade for them, use your farm system, teal in Montgomery out, crochet in,
00:50you extend them.
00:51That's a great plan.
00:52And if this is what the Red Sox are going to start doing going forward, I'd applaud
00:56them.
00:57That's a good sign.
00:58They are.
00:59They are putting their money where their mouth is on that plan, finally.
01:01And so I want to give them too much credit.
01:03I don't want to get too far ahead of it.
01:04They are still one in four of suck to start the year.
01:07But there is that.
01:09This I like.
01:10This is what we were begging for from the second they acquired crochet.
01:13And now they've done it.
01:14So good for them.
01:15Yeah.
