Well, very few of the insiders were in on this.

I didn't hear Passen.

I didn't hear Bradfo.

I didn't hear Corabas suggest that this money, the Debra's money, was going to

Roman Anthony Curtis.

It was just, really just a real baseball guy like myself who was able to figure that out.

I mean, it didn't really, but that's okay. It's totally different. I mean, this is what, when I'm at home scoring the game, these are the things, these are the big picture things that I think about. Hey, you were, honestly, you were the only one that mentioned Roman Anthony. You were. I didn't think, I mean, because this is, this is really a deal that impacts five years from now.

Because when he would be becoming a free agent, those arbitration years and Greg, a very important part of this that is not related to money, we saw in a different sport how Swayman was impacted by those arbitration hearings.

Yeah.

That was real. And you don't want to

create that's why so like i think with mookie you get into these arbitration hearings where the

team is forced to tell the player why they're not worth the money they're seeking in a public way

or at least in a confrontational way now you have all of that done.

Does it help you at all when it comes to your hope that Breggman wants to stay and doesn't want to opt out?

I think you'll get Breggman probably get a new deal for him as well. He's been pretty quiet on the Breggman front, though.

Yeah.

It really has.

So for a guy that we talked about extensively going into the season, for it to be pretty quiet when it comes to his name being brought up worries me a bit. You think? I think they get a new deal for him. They love him. And they talk about... I don't think they don't love him. They love Borgards. But does he opt out or does he take what's- He's opting out.

Right. So if he opts out, I think they get a new deal done for him. Because he's a guy that they talk about has helped Roman Anthony. Why would you not want this guy in your clubhouse? He's an additional coach. Yeah. Like he is. And he's a good player for you. So why would you not want him? All right. Front Office Report this week brought to you by Shaw's and Star Market,
