Raise your hand if you were up for the Matt Chapman announcement. Congratulations. I was not woke up this morning. Congratulations. Are in order for, as you call him, the always intense that chapman and the Giants agreeing to a six year $151 million deal that keeps the four time gold glove winner in San Francisco through the 2030 season. Wow, 25 million per year is the largest contract for has handed out and it also the second richest deal franchise history. Look at this trailing Buster Posey in 2013. The first thing I thought when I saw this was September 5th. Nice to see. Good for both sides. What do you think? Good to see. And one of the reasons I think lauren, there aren't a lot of players that want to go to the ballpark and hit every off season. They've been in on every big name guy for agent wise and none of the and nobody, they've offered a lot of money to a lot of different guys. They have a guy that's had success in that ballpark and he wants play there and I thought what was most interesting is that considering who his agent is and considering we're less than a month away from really him hitting free agency that he would do it. Now, I, I completely agree with you and I think there's this trend in our sport to wait to the last second to get the last cent. And I don't think it serves both sides either way. We saw it this past off season so good on them and congratulations to both of them. Wake it up America. We are going to look at the war leaders here. I, I mean, you know, he, he is, he's obviously a premium defender. He's in the top percentile of, of exit velocity and bat speed. He's also a pretty good baserunner and a little bit faster than you might think so. You know, that's what's reflective there in the war leaders there. Congratulations to him.
