the other big headline of the weekend was sh Otani going to the Dodgers woohoo you knew it was going to be one of those kind of teams Jason Mack you cover baseball first off what was the Pirates offer and second of off let's talk about what it means to baseball because I hate this I hate every bit of it yep 699 Bob it was just right there man it was 700 million over what 70 years yeah I heard there were there were jokes to be made B contracts 1 million year for 33 years I was what does this heat
death of the universe mean under term I was simultaneously just furious and then making jokes as well um I I think it stinks I hate every bit of it uh I know I'm like supposed to really like it and say y sh Otani and I mean he's an amazing player I think it just shows how whacked out economically the sport is man you need a you need a cap you need a floor um you need you need to to bring up teams like the Pirates and limit teams like the Dodgers I think they look ridiculous I really do and and
you know other three North American major professional sports leagues are running circles around baseball and the worst part is baseball just doesn't see it yeah Andrew if Patrick Mahomes was also TJ watt you're telling me he wouldn't get a contract like that where he would be the best offensive player plus the best defensive player it shouldn't be allowed it shouldn't be allowed I'm not I'm not grudging show because mean it's not good for the sport it's not good for the sport it's not good for
us competitive balance every time one these cont you can say that they may not win a championship but you almost guarantee yourself I don't I don't disagree because you spend more well hold on I don't disagree that it stinks for us here in Pitts in Pitts but I've yet to hear a compelling argument that it's bad for the sport the Arizona Diamondbacks just made it to the World Series yeah with how many 23 year olds and 24 year olds in their lineup yeah yeah the the American League East Was Won by t
he Baltimore Orioles last year how routinely does that happen but don't you think it makes it easier of course it does so what's the point of I I I just don't feel good in saying because the Pirates don't want to spend money let's restrict what a guy can make I don't think that that's right but I mean that's nuts man like they spend 700 million on a player one team spend 700 million on a player the other team is like worried about spending 75 million on a first Bas one player he do they playing
the same league what would prevent the Pirates realistically from offering him 10 years 750 million 75 million year what would their payroll be if they offered showlion 75 million a year they could it would be 13 would they make money on that deal yes they would that's all I have to say yeah all right real quick real quick 10 years from now how will this deal be viewed it is one way today what do you think it'll be looked at real quick uh I think it'll actually be viewed as a pretty fair deal cu
z I think he's going to come back from the second arm surgery pitch pretty well for long enough and he's going to hit the crap out of the ball for as long as he's in The Bigs yeah and it's going to resonate so loud in Japan man I think it's going to be an absolutely fantast I mean relatively speaking deal uh I don't think it's going to work out for them I don't because I have reservations about having a second arm surgery but me too but I second TJ is getting more common though and guys are doin
g a little better after it I understand that but uh Pirates could have done are we going to have a payroll higher than him as one player here in Pittsburgh it'll we got go payroll be not by much I'm hey a lot of people have brought bought and brought vehicles from number one Cochran over the years and now it's your turn you know what you can do you can sell them a car you know why it's super easy hassle-free and you get payment on the spot the best part is number one Cochran can pay more for use
d cars because they sell more used cars so sell yours entirely online at cochran.com or stop by any store it's easy to do and remember number one Cochran buys cars
