So when you suddenly say 223 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 3: something out of the ordinary, especially in a calm tone, 224 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 3: it interrupts that escalation pattern that's happening in their brain. 225 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 5: Nah nah, I'll tell you, I'll tell you what this 226 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 5: is doing.

Carlson has 340 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 10: become the first Penguins player not named Sidney Crosby to 341 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 10: win the award in the last seven campaigns, and Crosby 342 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 10: has been for the most part healthy and productive. 343 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 2: That's how good carl Carlson has been. 344 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 10: He's the biggest reason depends to have a chance in 345 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 10: a season that began with debate unfounded but still unavoidable 346 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 10: as narratives as to whether Crosby should be traded and 347 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 10: as to whether the Penguins should tank for Gavin McKenna. 348 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 2: Glad they didn't do that for a couple of reasons. Oh, 349 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 2: you're not a fan. 350 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 10: No, he's gonna be fine, But he's not gonna be 351 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 10: what people thought a year ago. 352 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 2: You don't think he's gonna be. Macklin's celebrating not cider Mario, 353 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 2: that's one of Joe Bartneck's favorites. 354 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 10: Is pretty good. Yeah, McKenna's going to be pretty good. 355 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 10: But you should never tank. But I digress. Okay, take 356 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 10: number two. The future is finally now. Last night's Pirates 357 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 10: outlasting of San Diego has a chance to really resonate 358 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 10: because Paul Skeins and Connor Griffin had their fingerprints all 359 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 10: over it. Who knows what that means for the long term, 360 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 10: but in the upcoming summer, the Bucks are going to 361 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 10: be throwing the best picture in the game and the 362 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 10: best prospect in the game at opponents with relentless regularity. 363 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 10: Griffin is in the process of merging into what he 364 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 10: will eventually become before our very eyes. While still clearly unfinished, 365 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 10: he's obviously outgrown the minors schemes has already arrived. Both 366 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 10: are going to generate headlines throughout the baseball landscape from 367 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 10: now until October and maybe maybe beyond. 368 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 2: Oh Jude starts easing. 369 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 4: I mean, it's a pretty good start to the season 370 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 4: so far, and with how many games knographing have five? 371 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, so three hits five games. I think whence the 372 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: weather breaks, that's enough of a story. They've had enough 373 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 2: of a hot start. 374 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 5: That place is going to be jamming if like that, 375 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 5: If this weather gets to be seventy and we're still 376 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 5: kind of hovering around where we're at right now. 377 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 2: That's going to be a fun time down there. 378 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 379 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 2: I wish there would have been more people there last night. 380 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 4: But a six thirty start start forty degrees, Yeah, kind 381 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 4: of tough. 382 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: Take number three guarded optimism. 383 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 10: The draft simulators, for what that's worth, are starting to 384 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 10: repeatedly suggest Penn State guard Oliva Venga Yuana will be 385 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 10: selected well before the Steelers are on the clock, But 386 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 10: with twelve selections and no need to draft twelve players, 387 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 10: the Steelers have the opportunity to move up for a 388 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 10: guy they really covet, assuming you Wanta is such a player. 389 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 10: If he's not, they need to reevaluate their evaluation. If 390 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 10: he is, trading their second round pick fifty third overall 391 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 10: and the twenty first pick to Miami for the eleventh 392 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 10: overall selection just might be enough to land the next 393 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 10: Alan Fanica. And in Pittsburgh there could be no more 394 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 10: appropriate celebration of a first round savior, even if he 395 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 10: plays guard and not quarterback. 396 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 4: Hey, you know, I blame you for this guy's draft 397 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 4: stock rising so much. 398 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 2: Early on. Should have had no problem getting him. 399 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 4: Now we got to give up yourself, right. 400 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 8: You know. 401 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 10: I was talking about this yesterday with Matt Williamson and 402 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 10: Max Starks. We did a taping for Steelers dot Com. 403 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 10: And you look at so much stuff when you evaluate 404 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 10: these guys. I mean, I'm not a scout. I'm trying 405 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 10: to do as much as I can with the time 406 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 10: I have. But you're looking at games that you find 407 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 10: on television or the Internet or wherever you're reading up 408 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 10: on these guys. You're watching the combine and and the 409 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 10: Pro Days, and there's just every year there's a couple guys, 410 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 10: maybe one to maybe one more that you just. 411 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 2: Can't get out of your head. 412 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 10: And you're looking at a linebacker from Utah and you 413 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 10: know what, I want to look at some more. 414 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: You want to and he's that guy. I mean he 415 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 2: is just. 416 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 6: He. 417 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 10: Do you want one of the receivers or the guy 418 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 10: at guard? 419 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 2: No, I think you want the guy at guard. 420 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 4: It's never a fan favorite when you stock up on 421 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 4: the hosses. Even defensive line. People don't love those picks. 422 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 4: But at least they get sacked. So yeah, there's something exactly. 423 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 4: But offensive line is such an un sexy pick. Yeah, 424 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 4: that people kind of get bummed out and they it's like, 425 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 4: you know, getting socks for Christmas. 426 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 2: I need them, but you do need them. 427 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 10: Yeah, this would be fun if they could get this dude. 428 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 2: Well, it would help considering. 429 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 4: They're gonna have a forty eight year old quarterback, it. 430 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 10: Would help if they had a twenty four year old quarterback. 431 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 2: Well hired. I'm real real excited about. We'll hire seven 432 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: one bucks over the Padres. 433 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 10: Last night, Paul Skins took a no hitter into the sixth, 434 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 10: wound up giving up two hits and one run on 435 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 10: a Xander Bogart's solo homer, but the Pirates able to 436 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 10: pull away late. Ryan O'Hearn two for three again, he's 437 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 10: only hitting three eighty nine. Connor in amazing ah Man, 438 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 10: Connor Griffin two for four with a run scored and 439 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 10: two rbs.

That's 445 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 10: for a guy who consistently gives effort but is rarely, 446 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 10: if ever, recognized for doing so. Rookie of the Year 447 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 10: Ben Candle another just dramatic ladilation this year. This has 448 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 10: been so much else going on. I don't know if 449 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 10: he's gotten the credit he deserves. 450 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 2: I'm okay with that though, I think that might have 451 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 2: helped him. 452 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 10: Might have Defensive Player of the Year split between Blake 453 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 10: Lazatte and Ryan Shay and the Bass Best Team Memorial Award. 454 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 10: That's the media good guy that goes to Brian Rust 455 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 10: every year when they give this out. I recall Eddie 456 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 10: Johnston talking about bass best team, who was the Penguins 457 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 10: general manager back when the Penguins were horrifically bad, and uh, 458 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 10: Bass made a questionable trade, let's say, and EJ's response was, Hey, 459 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 10: you must have been looking out of his glass eye. 460 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: On that one. Yeah, back when it was fine to 461 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 2: make these Kanta jacks.

I think that you were possibly letting spill 503 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 4: over some of your other opinions about the way that 504 00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 4: he conducts himself. 505 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 2: That could will be that you were just kidding. That 506 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 2: doesn't normally happen with me, but every once in a 507 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 2: while a while, you know. 508 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 4: All right, we'll ask PFT all about that later on 509 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,959 Speaker 4: this morning, Phil Borg talking Penguins, Abby, you'll have your 510 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 4: news at the top of the hour. 511 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: We've been paying attention to space a lot. This week. 512 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 3: We'll talk about how living in space could create a 513 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 3: whole new human species. 514 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 4: Well, we're all celebrating Connor Griffin with the Pittsburgh Pirates 515 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 4: getting called up and that home opener performance is something 516 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 4: I'll never forget. But lost in all of this was 517 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 4: the report that the Pirates were signing him to a 518 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 4: long term contract, and we were all thrilled about that, 519 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 4: and then nothing's really happened with that, and now everyone 520 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 4: started talking about it, like why would he sign that 521 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 4: contract if you could sign one for one hundred million 522 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 4: dollars more if he waits a couple of years, And 523 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 4: then it started. 524 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 2: To not make any sense. 525 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 4: And now it seems like maybe that's not gonna happen 526 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 4: for all the reasons it didn't make sense in the 527 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 4: first place. No Oahios from the pg's going to join us. 528 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 4: He'll break it down for us. We heard all these days, like, 529 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 4: oh well he's got till April ninth, and all of 530 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 4: that stuff, the truth, the ins and outs on what's 531 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 4: going on with Connor Griffin and the reported offer from 532 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 4: the Pirates and whether that's something that he and his 533 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 4: team have accepted when we come back, and also just 534 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 4: to look ahead for these guys. 535 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 2: And they got a. 536 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 4: Two thirty matchup today. Did you say twelve thirty five? 537 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 4: So it should be pretty warm by then, thirty seven degrees? Okay, 538 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 4: well it'll be sunny. At least there's that streaming on 539 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 4: all your devices. 540 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: No matter where I go. I always listened to. 541 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 9: DVE Comedy, sports and the rock you grew up with, 542 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 9: Save DVE as a. 543 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: Pre set on a free iHeartRadio app. 544 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 11: I was walking up two flights of stairs, Christener, Mister Wednesday, 545 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 11: Jeff Conkle hanging out with us, Buckos, Ben on Fire 546 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 11: last night, a seven to one victory over the Podres, 547 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 11: and Paul Skien's doing Paul Skien's things, Connor Griffin turning 548 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 11: it on and Pirate fans have been so excited since 549 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 11: Connor Griffin's call up. 550 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 2: Only one little problem with all of that, did they 551 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 2: sign him to the contract we all heard about or not. 552 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 4: Noah Hiles from the Postcazette on the line with us 553 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 4: this morning. 554 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 2: Noah, good morning. How are you. 555 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 8: I'm great? Thanks for having me on. 556 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, buddy, thanks for making time for us. Here's my question. 557 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 4: Did we all just suffer like Mandela effect or something? 558 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 4: Did we all just read the same thing going into 559 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 4: a holiday weekend and assume that Connor Griffin was signed 560 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 4: long term to the Buckos and our fortunes were changing 561 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 4: as Pirates fans? 562 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 2: And how did this all occur? 563 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 4: Can you take us through the timeline of where it 564 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 4: started and where it stands now? 565 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 6: Yeah? 566 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:42,719 Speaker 8: Absolutely so. 567 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 6: There's a lot of interesting legislation and rules behind all 568 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 6: of this. So some of the incentive to get Connor 569 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 6: Griffin up to the major leagues this year is if 570 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 6: he plays a full year of Major League Baseball, which 571 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 6: it has to be at least one hundred and seventy 572 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 6: two days, the Pirates are in position to get a 573 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 6: draft pick should he win Rookie of the Year or 574 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 6: have a top three finish in MVP voting in any 575 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,479 Speaker 6: of his first three seasons in the big leagues, so 576 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 6: that incentivises them to move him up to the Major 577 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 6: League because they missed out on this opportunity. 578 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 8: With Paul Schemes. They kind of messed that up a 579 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 8: little bit. 580 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 6: So that's not exactly one hundred percent why they brought 581 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 6: him up, but it played a. 582 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 8: Part of it. They also needed a shortstop, so they 583 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 8: promote him up here. 584 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 6: And it's worth pointing that out because they've been trying 585 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 6: to work a long term extension with Griffin since the 586 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 6: beginning of March. But if he signed that extension before 587 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 6: playing a game in the major leagues, he's no longer 588 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 6: eligible to get them that draft compensation should he win 589 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 6: those awards. So I know that could be a little 590 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 6: bit confusing, but so there's some incentive behind all this, 591 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 6: you know, contract woplock. So he gets promoted on Thursday. 592 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 6: Everyone's celebrating, and I've been following all this pretty thoroughly 593 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 6: because you know, the extension is a is a piece 594 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 6: of the puzzle, but typically the promotion is something that 595 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 6: would activate the extension. Talk not necessarily Oh okay, promotion extension. 596 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 8: They weren't mutually exclusive, right, yeah. 597 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 6: They weren't like a one and one A and one 598 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 6: B type of thing here. 599 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 8: So he gets. 600 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 6: Caught up and then a report comes out saying he's 601 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 6: in the process of finalizing this deal, that they're still 602 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 6: working on it, but they threw out a direct number 603 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 6: and a length of contract, and to be candid, those 604 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 6: don't align with the terms that I've been told are 605 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 6: are in the mix right now. 606 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 8: So I was a little confused when I saw that. 607 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 6: I talked to five different sources and everyone told me 608 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 6: that there was no deal. But at that point in time, 609 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 6: you know, when you're a reporter, what do you do? 610 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 8: Do you sit there and refute it or do you 611 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 8: just wait to see if someone else has something similar? 612 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 12: And so so telling you at the time like, yeah, 613 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 12: everybody's saying this deal is out there and he's cool 614 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 12: with it, and that's just not true. Yeah, okay, but 615 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 12: you did you just not want to ruin everyone's good time, 616 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 12: or it's more. 617 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 6: Just like, you know, I didn't want to get into 618 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 6: a source war with ESPN, like. 619 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 4: Because because there's a buster only right, there's a buster 620 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 4: only report, right. 621 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, And I'm not I'm not sitting here trying 622 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 6: to make it about me and me versus. 623 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 8: Yespian or whatever. 624 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 6: I just said, you know what, let's let this play 625 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 6: out and. 626 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 8: See what happened. Maybe he's right. 627 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 6: Even if the people who I'm talking to, some of 628 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 6: them are directly involved in all of this, are telling me. 629 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 6: One of them even said this is BS. I was 630 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 6: just like, all right, well, let's let's just wait this 631 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 6: out and see, because to my understanding, the contract negotiation 632 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 6: talk didn't really even resume until Easter Sunday. So when 633 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 6: he was up making a debut on Friday and playing Saturday, 634 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 6: and everyone's thinking this, you know, is just kind of 635 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 6: a given, like he's going to play a couple of games, 636 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 6: and then they have this handshake you already worked out 637 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 6: and signed, that just wasn't the case. They're still working 638 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 6: this out now. If you were to ask me if 639 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 6: I think a contract extension is going to get done, 640 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 6: I do think it's going to get done. If you're 641 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 6: looking for a date to pay attention to, it's April fourteen. 642 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 6: Because if this, if this extension or any extension is 643 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 6: signed after April fourteenth, it goes into effect next season, 644 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 6: meaning that Connor Griffin continues to play this whole year 645 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 6: under the salary that he's making now. And if that's 646 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 6: the case, then whatever terms are agreed to after April 647 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 6: fourteenth are going to be a lot more expensive because 648 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 6: the Pirates just got him for free for a year. 649 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 6: So the Pirates and his camp, they're both insteaentiveized to 650 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 6: get this deal done by Tuesday. So I do anticipate 651 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 6: a deal eventually getting done. I've been told that, you know, 652 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 6: there have been extensive talk they picked up earlier this week. 653 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 6: But the reporting that was done last week throwing out 654 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 6: the nine to one forty figure, I'm not sure that 655 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 6: was the most accurate. No. 656 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 10: Fifteen a year relative to those figures, that seems like 657 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 10: a lot less than he would get if he just waits. 658 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, why is Connor Griffin interested in this? 659 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 8: I mean, well, I think his age plays a factor. 660 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 8: You look at it. 661 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 6: I mean, anything he signed less than ten years, he's 662 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 6: still gonna hit free agency before his thirtieth birthday, which 663 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 6: means he would be in position to make two nine 664 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 6: figure pay dais And you just don't see a lot 665 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 6: of professional athletes. 666 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 8: With that opportunity. 667 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 6: So, I mean, and this is a kid who he's 668 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 6: been vocal about, like he's been appreciative of his experience 669 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 6: in the Pirates organization. They've done right by him in 670 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 6: a lot of ways. They've signed him above slot value, 671 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,479 Speaker 6: and they drafted him. Obviously, they've let him develop in 672 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 6: his own way. They've sometimes been a little two hands 673 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 6: on with their hitting prospects. It hasn't been the case 674 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 6: of Connor Griffin. They've let him kind of developed in 675 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 6: his own way to become the hitter that he is, 676 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 6: and obviously that's worked. 677 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 8: So he likes this. 678 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 6: And then yeah, I mean the money, it's could he 679 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 6: get a lot more in free agency in a couple 680 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 6: of years, sure, But I think he's he's looking at 681 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 6: the big picture here. I mean, this is acciuse He's 682 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 6: from a. 683 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 8: Very small town in Mississippi. 684 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 6: Pittsburgh's a big city to him. So the idea of okay, 685 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 6: well I'll just play here for a couple of years 686 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 6: and then both to LA I don't know if that's 687 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 6: something he's necessarily all about. So it's a it's a 688 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 6: good way to get some security, to secure, you know, 689 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 6: a nice payday, to uh, you know, plant roots in 690 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 6: a town that he's come to like. And at the 691 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 6: end of the day, when he's twenty eight to twenty 692 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 6: nine years old, he'll still have that opportunity to get 693 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 6: probably a double if not triple payday down the line. 694 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 10: So could this change once he actually gets to La Wow, yeah. 695 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 6: You gotta you put him on the IL for this, 696 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 6: you know, yeah, he can. He's only allowed to play 697 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 6: road games in like Cincinnati. 698 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 4: Well no, And let me ask you this, does the Pirates' 699 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 4: willingness to shell out what previously we'd always thought they 700 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 4: were going to never fork over to somebody like Connor Griffin? 701 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 4: Does that spell any potential possibility that they would be 702 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 4: willing to figure out a way to keep Paul Skiings too. 703 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 8: I mean, I think they would want to keep paulk but. 704 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 6: You know what I mean, like, yeah, no, this is 705 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:42,439 Speaker 6: it's a totally different situation here because they're so far 706 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 6: into this process with schemes now where it's like he's 707 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 6: he's just too far out of their price point because 708 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 6: he's already I mean, if Paul assuming next year, like 709 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 6: there's there's a good chance we don't have baseball next 710 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 6: year because of the lockout, which is also pushing the 711 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,800 Speaker 6: priority of stending Connor Griffin, because any deal that gets 712 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,240 Speaker 6: done prior to the lockout gets grandfathered into whatever do economic. 713 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 8: System baseball falls under, So if. 714 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 6: There's a salary cap, whatever they're paying Griffin doesn't affect 715 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 6: the cap. So with schemes, if your Paul Skins, you're 716 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 6: looking at it, this team has you under control for three. 717 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 8: More years after this year. You might lose one of 718 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 8: those years just because of the. 719 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 6: Lockout, and then the Pirates aren't gonna take him all 720 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 6: the way down the line. So this might be one 721 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 6: of his final years in Pittsburgh to begin with. So 722 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 6: unless he really really really wants to stay free agency 723 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 6: so close where it wouldn't make monetary sense for Paul's 724 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 6: games to sign here unless the Pirates paid him. You 725 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 6: know what, the Dodgers would have been able to pay 726 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 6: him a couple of years to the Yankees. And if 727 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 6: that's the case, I mean even if they could match 728 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,240 Speaker 6: those numbers, I mean, if you could get the same 729 00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 6: money from the Dodgers but also play for the Dodgers, 730 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 6: I mean, they're playing better, and I think seems like 731 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 6: the year. 732 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 8: But who wouldn't want to play on one of those 733 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 8: teams right now? Look at them. They're loaded. 734 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he has been la too, right, Skins? 735 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 8: So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 736 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 4: And well former teammates have supposedly said that he has 737 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 4: talked about wanting to play for the Yankees already, so 738 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 4: his aspirations melee elsewhere. Noah Hiles from the Post, is 739 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 4: that great stuff, buddy. I really appreciate you making time 740 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 4: for us this morning. 741 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 8: Absolutely. Guys always happy to come on. 742 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 4: Okay man, thanks so much. So there you go. That 743 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 4: explains things a little bit. It never made sense those 744 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 4: figures that were put out there. It's like, why would 745 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 4: he only sign for this? 746 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 5: But don't you think it's going to be hard as 747 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 5: a reporter because you know you're part of the negotiation game, 748 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 5: so each source that's getting filtered to you, like you 749 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 5: have to kind of pass that through a filter, being like, 750 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 5: am I getting played because the information that I'm giving 751 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 5: out because that gives which party give more leverage to him? 752 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 6: Yea. 753 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 10: But I like the way he's handling that like he's 754 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:06,240 Speaker 10: he's reporting his stuff. It verify or or discount everything 755 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,720 Speaker 10: that's out there from everybody, like you do your job 756 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 10: and other people do their job, and you see who 757 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 10: does it better. 758 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 2: Right. It's a tricky situation though to me, because. 759 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 4: We always absolutely like if you like, if you're his editor, 760 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 4: how do you want to present that like, oh, only 761 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 4: he's got this. Well, we're gonna assume Buster only has 762 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 4: impeccable sources on this, just because of I would. 763 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 10: Assume him and say, Joe Blow has this, what do 764 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 10: you got? Yeah, and as he told me, because I 765 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 10: have nothing, like that's not my information? Is that is incorrect? 766 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 10: You don't report incorrect stuff, or you don't report that 767 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 10: someone else has it wrong. 768 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 2: Okay, I see what you're saying. 769 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, look journalism and the ethics tenets of 770 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 4: journalism or you know, go on kind of a lost 771 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 4: and we're going to talk to PFD comm at her 772 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 4: about his buddy, Diana Rossini supposedly caught in uh well 773 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 4: uh canoodling with Mike Rable, which it might be the 774 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 4: first time Rabel's ever canodled.
