Hey David, how do you maybe anticipate balancing how much he means to the franchise versus maybe how a player generally at his position entering his 30s may age?

I think all of that is important, who Pete is as a person is important what he needs to this franchise is important

who he is as a player is also important and what he contributes on the field

There's no magic formula to this. There's no equation that that spits out what

all of that is for us. And so there's judgment involved, there's evaluating the market involved, and we'll see how this process goes throughout the off season.

Dude, it's very tough to read these answers on Pete because, like, I think they like them.

I think they kind of want them back.

I think it really just comes down to what is the market say.

And what that also tells me, by the way,

is this is gonna take a while.

That the Pete Alonzo decision, one way or the other,

is going to drag out.

I don't necessarily think it's gonna drag out the way the other is going to drag out. I don't necessarily think it's going to drag out the way the other Boris clients did.

I'm not saying we're getting a spring training here, but like one Soto starts free agency in my opinion.

I think that he signs, I was having this

conversation off air today, our boss was saying, hey, when do you think Juan Soto signs?

And I said December 5th. He's like December 5th, why is that?

I said right as the winter meetings are beginning.

Because I don't think Juan Soto needs to wait.

I think all the offers are gonna come in,

he's gonna sit there like a king, and he's going to just decide,

you know, whatever that decision is.
