00:40this just in from john hayman via my cell phone's twitter

00:48so uh that is how the red sox respond after alex bregman leaves over the weekend he declined the

00:55offer to return to boston instead they go pick up ranger suarez the lefty five-year 130 million

01:02dollar contract that's according to multiple sources you know what they got johnny they got

01:06a couple guys a couple of crafty vets yeah ranger suarez is the epitome of a crafty left-hander

01:14the average i mean in a day and age where everyone is supposed to throw 98 is that what you call a 90

01:20mile an hour fastball crafty you're crafty he gets by on guile he gets by on pinpoint control

01:27everyone in the league now steely stare supposed to throw 98 to 100 his average fastball velocity

01:32was 90.6 he doesn't give up a lot of home runs which is what sonny gray is sonny gray doesn't give

01:37up a lot of home runs either yeah you're gonna have to stagger those two guys can't have him pitch

01:41back-to-back days those two guys i love it i love that i love that it's coming back baby

01:45is the art of pitching it's not they're not it's not it's the anti-cleveland yeah cleveland's got 10

01:51kids that throw 100 they each pitch an inning yes and then their arms mastered that for a long time

01:57yeah and then they and then they just rotate them through the system and then yeah their arms fall

02:01off and they they you know they got kids in reserve for when tommy john inevitably happens to

02:06half of half of them suarez that's the thing suarez is 30 you said why give a five-year 130 million

02:12dollar contract to a 30 year old well as he gets older it doesn't matter if he loses velocity off

02:17his fastball pitch 90 until he's 45 yeah he could be jamie moyer for the next 10 decade i mean john

02:24burkus yeah so that's the thing is that so you have like a huge stud as your number one pitcher now

02:30a big lefty that throws hard but can tends to wear down but with sonny gray and suarez you got two guys

02:38that that should not i mean they could obviously get hurt but comparatively to the rest of the league

02:44these very low chance of them uh blowing out or fading out towards the end of the season good

02:51on the red sox i mean their offense is significantly worse but the pitching is fantastic the rotation is

02:57fantastic now
