00:00One pitcher is top of the rotation.
00:02I don't think that's what Jake is.
00:03I think he's more of a middle to back of the rotation at this point in his career.
00:07But it's only a one-year deal.
00:09Yeah.
00:09And that's appealing.
00:10One year, yes, $38 million is a lot.
00:13It's only one year.
00:14But the way I would do this, because you've got to handle this with care,
00:17I'm a very emotional person.
00:19I meant we met fans of very emotional people.
00:22This needs to be back-channeled.
00:24This cannot be a public discourse.
00:26I think if you're David Stearns and Steve Cohen,
00:28when you go to the Texas Rangers and you go to Chris Young and say,
00:30look, before we have any discussions, give me Jake's number again.
00:34I just want to – let's touch base.
00:36Yeah.
00:37If DeGrom makes absolutely clear, I didn't like living there.
00:42You had a chance, but Bruce Blakeman didn't win,
00:46so I'm not going back there.
00:47Because you know that's probably part of it.
00:49And he says, I'm not interested.
00:51Let it die.
00:52Let it go.
00:53Never bring it up again.
00:54If he says, you know what?
00:56It's one year.
00:57It may be the last year of my career.
01:00I'm okay going back.
01:02Let me make good on my tenure there.
01:04I'm interested.
01:05Then I would absolutely pursue a trade to bring him back.
