Hey, Danny, how are you?

0:01.7

I'm great. How are you guys doing?

0:03.3

We are good. I think you're on the same vibe. We are. I saw your tweet about Pete Crow Armstrong.

0:09.1

What do you think about the extension?

0:11.5

Oh, I mean, universal approval, right? Well deserved. You know, you get him through, you know, up to, he's a free agent before his age, what, 31 season.

0:23.6

You know, so getting a couple of free agent years is a good deal for the Cubs.

0:30.1

I think that, you know, Pete is one of the most exciting players in baseball.

0:36.3

And if he can do consistently what he did for about

0:43.5

100 games last year, you know, he's one of the best players in baseball. But he also has an

0:48.1

incredibly high floor, and he is an incredibly likable guy who sells tickets, sells jerseys,

I can speak to, you know, personal experience with working with him on some philanthropic stuff.

1:01.5

He's a good guy who gets it. So, you know, you feel comfortable making that type of investment in him.

1:15.0

1:21.1

commitment to being here. So while I would say maybe a slightly bigger win for the Cubs than

1:26.3

Pete, just because it's multiple free agent years, like if you had to deem a winner of the deal, it's clearly a win for everybody involved. Yeah, I agree with you, Danny, especially because going into this season where the expectations are as raises they have been in this post-world series era, he doesn't have to worry about that anymore. It's not even a thought now because he's locked up. He's good. He's loaded. I'm curious because you talked about his floor. What do you feel like the floor is for this Cubs team this season, given all the moves that they've made and the willingness they have shown to be able to go out and spend some money and make some deals and improve a team that did come up short of winning a division, excuse me, but did ultimately get to the playoffs last year.

2:06.1

Listen, anything short of winning the division for this Cubs team's a disaster.

2:11.6

Right?

2:12.2

Like, they can't not win the division this year.

2:16.8

They just,
