00:00Has it gotten a little carried away?
00:02Alex Bregman is going to hit a home run today, according to Rich Keefe.
00:06Oh yeah, that's true. That is true. That's a good bet.
00:08It's all coming together. It's all coming together.
00:12Yeah, I mean, I think that by the way they've landed in spring training,
00:15in part because all these other teams have had so many things go bad poorly,
00:20and the Red Sox have had just enough stuff not go poorly,
00:23I think it has worked out for them, and that's where they've landed.
00:27I don't think it's unreasonable to think they're going to win this division
00:31off of what talent they have right now.
00:33And I think one of the main reasons people are picking him
00:35is the guy starting today, Garrett Crochet.
00:37And do you think the contract thing is going to be an issue at times this year,
00:42or are they going to really be able to sort of put it to the side
00:45and just have him go out there and pitch all year?
00:47Yeah, I mean, as you guys know, today was the day.
00:51He's not talking once today starts, so we assume that they're not talking.
00:55I mean, as we saw with Alex Cora that changed last year, it can always change.
00:59But I think the biggest thing is that he's got another year, right?
01:02So he's got another year.
01:04He's got this year to prove himself, to prove that he's right in holding out
01:07or to go in for the big-ticket item when it comes to the contract.
01:11And then, you know, the fact is that maybe he gets through this year
01:16and they pay more.
01:17But as we said before, I think it's – oh, look at this.
01:21You hear my GPS?
01:23I'm sure you absolutely hear it, yeah.
01:25I've headed to the park.
01:28Do you need directions there?
01:30Have you never been?
01:33Well, no, not from this location.
01:36But I think that the fact is that both sides, we know the motivation.
01:42We know the motivation with this is on both sides.
01:45It's a little bit off the beaten track.
01:48You have a situation with the Red Sox.
01:51They can hold out and they can see if it's worth paying more money.
01:55And for Garrett Crochet, he can hold out and say, hey, you know what?
01:59I want to be the biggest contract in all of pitching and baseball.
02:03So this doesn't surprise me we've gotten to this point.
