Can you summarize for those of us that don't want to watch a 26 minute interview? Thanks.

The interview was wide-ranging but perhaps the two highlights were Logan Gilbert's remarks about Cal Raleigh's firm handling of pitchers (8:30) and Gilbert's bench conversations (15:30) with Randy Arozarena, who won't speak with the media because of a language issue.

So Randy is like "Chief" in One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. lol Chief was also Freddy Garcia's nickname based on looking like that actor.

So I have been given Sodomojo props recently specifically Tremayne Person and then he decides to suggest that we can extend Woo for 5 years $48M when if he continues on his current trajectory he could get close to that for ONE season in FA. I wouldn't be surprised if that is their offer though knowing them.

Wouldn't surprise me at all either.

Can't believe they fought it out with Bryce Miller. Like you pointed out, he looked pretty impressive at times once he came back.

They are giving the two kids in the DR over $8M next January.

Have to give them credit there. They're spending even more than they did on Refsnyder!

Big expenditures compared to their usual nothing.
