Welcome to Michigan Hockeycast 7.9.

No gold. No gold. No gold. So, Alex, on your next contract at EMGOBlog, will you be going to Brian asking for the Juan Soto deal?

That was quite a contract, that's for sure.

Is that a no?

I mean, don't you think that you're just as valuable to MGO Blog as Juan Soto would be to, I mean, any team, but in this case, the Mets?

I'd like to think so.

I think so.

You cross, how many sports do you even do?

Too many.

I'm trying to get you paid here, man.

You can help me out.

Sell yourself a little bit.

Yeah.

15-year contract is a pretty nice gig at that price. Well, so there's an opt-out

after five, right? And I really struggle to see a world where he ups out. Well, because he'll want

60 a year. So there's an there's an escalator, right, that goes up from, was it 51 to 55?

Something like that. So he would have to, that goes up from, was it, 51 to 55? Something like that.

So he would have to believe that at age 30, he could get a better deal than 10 years, 550.

It seems hard for me to imagine that.

Yeah, but like prices will go up in five years.

Possibly, but he'll also be five years older.

And you don't, I mean.
