These guys know how to connect with you about Boston sports.

Paul and give us your take and then get off the phone.

Calgary and Maz on 985.

The Sports Hub.

All right, right back to your phones on the Nathan Avaldi signing and other things, Red Sox.

Derek and Foxborough.

Go ahead, Derek.

Yeah, Mass, I usually agree with your baseball stuff, but that article you wrote about how

a baldy isn't worth $17 million is complete nonsense.

I mean, you said to yourself, you have closers making $17 million.

Rich Hill, that bum with the Dodgers,

is making $20 million.

I mean, that's what the market is

for third and fourth starters.

You're right in clickbait, Mass.

Yeah, apparently I am.

Yeah, but I could use me. First of all, I don't think Rich Hill is making $20 million a year. I'll check that. Secondly, closers are making $17 million. And generally speaking, there are guys that do it on a year-in, year-out basis, who have shown some level of durability. So I'm sorry, Derek.

You can get all bent out of shape about it if you want.

I'm not telling you I dislike Nathan of Aldi or didn't want him back because I like him

and I want him here.

And the reality is that whether it's right or wrong, most guys' resumes, resumes dictate what they get paid.

Okay?
