Noah says it like they do.

What do you mean?

Well, what do you mean?

Felger and Madge.

I'm just making it up.

Totally making it up.

985, the Sports Hub. All right.

Hour number three, Felgrinez.

405 in the evening, Red Sox Minute.

To me, the most interesting Red Sox story in the offseason is them trying to get under this luxury tax threshold, which I'm actually okay with.

I'm not going to hammer them for it. Every team in the league, including the Dodgers and the Yankees do it. So just the way business is done, I'm going to accept it, not butt my head against the wall and complain about ticket prices and da-da-da. In this case, I'm just going to accept it because I also think it gives them the opportunity to do something they need to do, which is flip the DNA of the team just a little bit. Heinblum is now the new GM. You've got a new regime in there. So shape the team a little bit in your image. Don't just come back with the same team. And I think this gives them an excuse or a reason to change the mix on the roster. And to me, there's no greater example than the turd in the punchball himself, David Price. He was never the right fit here. He never liked it here when he played here or when he didn't play here. He's always hated it here. He's always hated you. You've always hated him. It's been a forced marriage. It worked-ish. Kind of you got your World Series.

But for the most part, outside of that World Series, it's been pretty miserable here with David Price for his four years, wouldn't you say? Yes. Oh, for sure. Team broadcasters can't fly with the team because they're afraid of getting jumped. Every other thing. It's David Price this. David Price that. We got to monitor his injuries because he plays too many video games.

Just the black cloud of misery. This miserable prick. Enough. Last year was really the tipping point, too, after he held all the cards. And he had the, you got the Trump card now. And he won the World Series and actually succeeded in the postseason for the first time in his career. He still had to make trouble with Decker's Lee again last year. He couldn't help himself. So please, enough of David Price. I arrived at this a couple just with myself, you know, a couple weeks ago. It's like, I don't want to trade mooky bets for pennies on the dollar to get under that number. So what's the next big contract? David Price. Oh, I hate that guy. Let's get rid of him. I don't know. It just, that's sort of how the thinking went.

It wasn't very complicated. Sort of conflicting reports on what you think or, you know, what people think's going to happen. You said yes, we mentioned this yesterday. I said just from a brewer's perspective, for example, I'll give you Josh Hader, if you give me David Price back at $15 million per, that's cutting his salary in half. So you have to swallow half of David Price's money. I sort of came up with that number. But it turns out that's what some people think the Red Sox are going to have to do. Right. And I feel like that's a little too much, but that might be where they are. Well, meaning you don't get enough savings on David Price. Correct. Okay, well, let me ask you this.

He's... much, but that might be where they are. Well, meaning you don't get enough savings on David Price.

Correct.

Okay, well, let me ask you this.

He's due $96 million.

So you have to swallow half of it, whatever that is, you know, $48 million.

Is that enough to trade him for nothing?

Yeah.
