Letting off starts right now on fantasy pros. I am Chris Welsh aka the Welsh and it is yes.

A wonky Wednesday. It is Kelly Kirby in the house. We see penguins in the chat chat.

Get the penguins continuous going. Kelly, what's going on? Not a lot. I started Mitch Keller last night, but I managed to get up today.

So things are good.

It was that. Yeah, I do here. It's actually good to have you here. You always know, by the way, if you guys don't come and check out the YouTube live, you always know it's a Wednesday by the penguins.

Absolutely dominating the chat with our peanuts and cracker jacks. All our awesome people hanging out with us today, as we are going to be going through everything that went down in baseball.

Everything that's coming up and contract extensions. I know they're not quite exciting except when these really, really young, crazy hot prospects, signed big money, taking out all of their arbitration, taking out their free agent years and the realization that Michael Harris who signed congratulations to him an eight year 72 million dollar deal, but I'm going to throw this at you.

You will not be a free agent until he's 32 years old. Like think about how young he is, how great he is. That's a state of baseball. Signed a contract. It's pretty good money.

Football, Derwin James, a safety, just signed a four year, $76 million. Okay, eight years, 72 million dollars for Michael Harris. You will not be a free agent until 32. I still will stand that this is bad for baseball, but it's great for the Braves Kelly.

Absolutely. I'll be 52 when when his contract ends. So let's put you like, I'll be from. Boy, I don't know. Yeah, no, I know even typing it in. I was like 32. No, I think it's great for them. The fun fact I put in there later is just kind of insane for what you give us the fun fact. Let's just rock it right now because I think it's a it's kind of a wild thing to process. I'll and I'll let you do it if you want. It's sure it is a one.

This actually looks like a dynasty trade. I'm going to answer those out. So think of like a dynasty trade in your mind of these players, but go ahead with that fun fact.

All right. So Ronald, Akunia, Asi Elbees, Austin Riley and Michael Harris have now signed long contracts with the Braves combined. They are going to earn 419 million dollars. Mike Trout signed a contract for 426.5 million dollars.

So that's like four years ago. It is dynasty trade where it had been like, do I want all of these young guys, especially on the same team? It worked out. Here's another one to throw at you. I don't have the exact number here, but I just thought of it and think of the Rangers who have Corey Seeger and Marcus Simeon at like five about half a billion dollars.

And it's like, you know, what would you rather have? You get one trout. You get a Seeger Simeon or you get an Akunia Albees Riley and Michael Harris. It's pretty good. The Braves are pretty good at what they do.

The for whatever reason, don't seem to have any issue buying out all these guys arbitration and buying out for agent years and having control for through really like, you know, 2027 is for the most part for most of these guys.

They don't really lock up the pictures, you know, it's funny. We were talking about the rookie, the year stuff yesterday and how Spencer Striders, a current leader and Michael Harris is the plus money right behind him and strider, you know, good start this week. But no contract extension for strider and Michael Harris, I believe came.

Even later in that process, but they love their hitters. It seems like they have the inverse met's thing where it's they want to pay the hitters. And then they are going to go and buy the pictures into the future where the met's used to

pay the hitters and homegrown the pictures in whatever attempt when it was no center garden to grow. But do you like the steel? I mean, do you like, I mean, obviously you like it for the Braves, but do you like it for Michael Harris? If we wanted to play that card, we wanted to play the players card.

Yeah, it's so long. I mean, eight years. I kind of I wish I wish it was five. I think five would just feel a little bit better for him. But I was just thinking about it. None of them are represented by Boris, right?

I mean, no, Michael, actually, it's funny. You say that because of a friend of mine, Dennis Siddler, who owns a great company called Sid's Grouse does all these autographs. He has an exclusive deal with Michael Harris that he signed and Michael Harris is so all of like when he's

signed Bats and stuff, he can only do it through Dennis. So it says graphs.com is a nice plug for him. And we were actually talking about this. And he know he's got a smaller agent, you know, not even an agency. Really, it's like a smaller, kind of very individual agent that got this done not Boris.

Right.
