00:00Vlad will retire, what, three years before this deal ends?
00:03It's a 14-year deal for $500 million, and it's more than double what a first baseman
00:10has ever gotten.
00:11The Blue Jays had to do this because they've missed out on everybody, and this is their
00:16homegrown Canadian-born superstar.
00:20So they paid through the nose, and they've failed twice, once like a year and a half
00:26ago when they offered him $300,000, and they probably got it done for $350,000, and then
00:30once like four years ago when they offered him $170,000, and they might have gotten it
00:33done for $220,000.
00:34Whatever it is, they have cost themselves a lot by having to do this now, and every
00:40moment that Kyle Tucker gets closer to free agency is costing the Chicago Cubs more.
00:47If you really want to sign this guy, and I believe you should, you should be in contract
00:53conversations with him right now.
00:56The conversation should have begun when he got here.
00:59He had said he's open to it.
01:00I think he's still open to it.
01:02He's not a Boris client.
01:03Those guys are predisposed to go all the way to the end.
01:07He's represented by Accel, who also represents Swanson.
01:10Try and get a deal done with Kyle Tucker as soon as you can, because the longer you wait,
01:15the more the leverage goes to him, and Vlad Jr.'s deal is proof positive of that.
