I'm sitting around. I'm trying to watch the crown. I'm going to start. I'm going to binge the crown. I'm getting ready for Serena Williams to play her semifinal match.

Just having a day, all of a sudden I hear from Coca get ready for Nando Tatis has signed a $340 million 14 year contract.

Just take that in. Take it in with me.

$340 million. Who's higher than that? Yes, your right. Moopy Betts is. Yes, he is. Good. Oh, your right. Mike Trout is. That's it.

He's now the third highest contract notionally. People are saying it's the highest AV. No, it's not. Third highest. Notional dollars. That's amazing to me.

Fernando Tatis. Now, well, Fernando Tatis says he's double doses. He's not going to be a free agent. Okay.

Coca, I have our issues. You know this. He's got four years left. So free agency and Coca will not let me say it on nothing personal. I have to say he has three years left after this year.

It's February 17th. He has four years of baseball until he's a free agent. He has signed away 10 years of free agency. The rest of his arbitration years.

What's he doing? I'm just kidding. What in the name of holy rappers are the Padres thinking number one. Do you know how you win titles with pitching.

They now have two three hundred million dollar contracts, both position players. Yes, they traded for Blake. Snow. Yes, they traded for you. Darvish. I agree. That's now.

You're going to have Machado who's only entering year. Talk to me. Coca-licious. Is it year three? Is it really only year three now of Machado's 10 year three hundred million dollar deal? Or is it already year four? I'm going to say it's year three. Now, don't count next year. I wonder how many years Machado's played with the Padres.

I think it's two and this would make year three. Seven more years. Half of Tattis is contract. Two position players over three hundred million. You can't win that way. Why they do it. How did it happen? Very simply. They approached the agent and they said.

We would like Fernando Tattis to be the face of baseball. We would like Fernando Tattis to be the face of the Padres. What do we need to give you?

Where you will agree right now. And we're going to need a discount because you've got four years until you're a free agent. You're not even an arbitration yet.

So what's it going to be? Give me a number. Give me a discounted number. Oh, 24 million dollars a year. Wait a minute. 24. I can do that. No, no. Oh, you want 14 years. Wait a minute. That's 24, 48, 96. That's three hundred and 40 million dollars.

Oh, you're right. He wouldn't make that much money for the next four years. So it's really more than that when he's going to be free agent is that how we're going to break down the deal. Okay, that works for us actually because we'll get guarantees now that you'll play for us. And you have a chance to outperform your contract. And in return, we'll take every ounce of the risk.

Hold on. I've got Rob Manfred on the other line. What Rob? You're sure? No, you don't know what's going to happen next season. There is a new collective argument. There could be a work stoppage. I understand what else Rob?

Oh, there could be a maximum in terms of length of contract. Oh, there could be that too. Okay, what else? Oh, there could be a maximum in how much.

Notional dollars you can give to a player. That could be negotiated. Yeah, actually agree with that too. I'm sorry, Rob, did you call Peter sidler or Ron Fowler? Did you call anybody?

When you heard this was happening, did they call you? What did you say? Oh, I know what you said. Are you out of your mind?

I've been spending every minute since I heard the news to be pretending that I'm running the podras.

I want them on my team. I don't want to lose them to the Dodgers. I know the Dodgers have all of their contracts falling off the books after two more years.
