My forbidden fruit is Nolan McLean.

He's my guy.

Yeah.

I'm not trading him for anything.

But if the pirates actually drunkenly call me up one night and I'm like, eh, schemes,

I would have to do the forbidden fruit of trading Nolan McLean.

And I believe to you, Sean and you Teakey as a sort of Yankee fan, Cam Schlittler, this is the one deal where the forbidden fruit would be bitten. Yes. At the risk of sounding like Tommy again for a second reference in the hour, I got to get the extension with it. He's not a free agent for a decade, bro. For four years. It doesn't matter. Come on. But dude, he's not arbitration eligible until next year. You can't be worried about an extension. for him now, you have him for four years. Yeah, I understand that. We're operating in the Dodger world now. I'm not getting up a guy in Schlittler who I think would be a lifetime Yankee. Now, the only thing you worry about is that you get slammed with an arbitration of 32 versus 20. Yeah, but why are you worried about that? Why am I worried about it? Have you seen, first of all? That's so long down the road. It's not like you're buying somebody for a year. It's not Tarik Scouble. It's Paul Skeen's not a free agent until 2030. My point is that if he's great when Cy Young's and he, in that you go to arbitration and like scoble he wants 30 plus million dollars

and now you're paying him that anyway okay so what why yeah why not just you want to just sign

him i i get what john saying he's not going to accept that he's going to get to free agency

and he's going to break records and you'll worry about that then but he's already 29 how no he's like

25 years old yeah i get you the oh no he'll be 29? No, he's like 25 years old. He's very young. Yeah.

I'll get you the exact. No, he'll be free. That's right. When he's 30. When he's 30, that's when he's that's when he hits free age. Yeah, he's a long ways away. And let's not pretend that young players don't get locked up long term. Yeah, but not Rodriguez. Not this one. This is the exception. Paul Skeins, by the way, is 23 years old.

Right. He turns 24 in late, No Julio Rodriguez. Not this one. This is the exception. Paul Skeens, by the way, is 23 years old.

He turns 24 in late May, and he's already put together two years in his major league career.

I'm going to read you the numbers because they're so stupid.

Rookie season, 113-96 ERA, 133 innings, third in the Salyung vote.

Last year, second year in the major leagues, 10 and 10 with a 197 ERA, 133 innings, third in the Siong vote. Last year, second year in the major leagues,

10 and 10 with a 197 ERA

won the Siong. He has a 196

ERA through two years. He makes

Doc good and look and say, wow, that's

actually better than me. That's cute. Loses a lot of
