00:00Here was that exchange between Keefe and Craig Breslow.
00:04Is it to your understanding that he will pitch under this current contract or is he going to
00:09need a new contract? No, I mean we are looking at this as right now we've got a guy that's got
00:16two years of control and we are approaching this with no restrictions. Obviously anything
00:23beyond that we'll explore when the time is right, but right now we're focused on
00:2725 and 26 and being able to write his name in at the top of the rotation.
00:31But there was no understanding that when you traded for him that he wouldn't pitch unless
00:37he had a new deal because that was some of the conversation last year at the trade deadline.
00:41If he went to a contender he wasn't going to throw unless he got a brand new deal.
00:45Yeah, I mean as far as I am concerned this is a guy who has a full season as a starter under
00:52his belt and someone that's ready to take on the full workload of a true ace.
00:58Thank you, Craig.
00:59All right, Craig.
00:59That doesn't sound like a team that's actually willing to spend money.
01:03Well, you're going to find out. I mean, they need to spend money.
01:06Doesn't make me feel good.
01:09Well, not very hopeful. I got to be honest.
01:12I mean, you were willing to part with prospects to get him so you don't have to
01:18you don't have to redo his deal and you got him cheap reasonably cheap for two years.
01:23Yeah, but if you don't redo his deal and he won't pitch on this deal
01:26then you gave up one of your best prospects for like nothing.
