Hi there! How's it going? Are you a baseball fan?
gpt
Hi. I'm doing very well thanks. I'm do watch baseball on occasion and I'm a casual fan.
human
Do you root for a specific team? Long-time Yankee fan over here.
gpt
*leans slightly forward* You probably won't like this but I'm Red Sox fan. I heard that Eric Hosmer signed with the San Diego Padres  for $144 million in an eight year contract.
human
Haha you're right I don't like the Red Sox. Yes I believe the Hosmer contract was last year. I think that's going to end up being a bad contract.
gpt
*leans forward* Me too. I think its too much money for a player that has proven himself. He is a 28 years old and he plays in the first base position and he did very well as a Royal.
human
By the end of that deal he will be in his mid to late 30's and nowhere ear as good. Definitely an overpay. Not as crazy as those Machado and Harper deals for over 300 million though.
gpt
No nothing like that. He has won 4 Gold Gloves in his career and I will like to see him in a Red Sox uniform.
human
That's true the Red Sox only weakness now is 1st base. Who's their starting, Mitch Moreland?
gpt
You are correct. I also heard that Hosmer will be making $20 million over each of the first 5 seasons with the Padres.
human
*takes a step forward* That's smart to front load it. It's crazy how much these guys get to play baseball. It's not even as physically demanding as football, basketball or hockey.
gpt
I agree with you completely. Those sports are way more physical than baseball. Did you know that the Dodgers have lost more world series championships than any other baseball team?
human
They've been around so long, it makes sense. I think they lost a lot of them to the Yankees. It's funny prior to the cubs just winning recently the last time they won before that the Ottoman Empire still existed.
gpt
Ha Ha!! The Dodgers are bad. They were crushed by the Red Sox
human
I hate how good Mookie Betts is. I think the Yankee's will give the Red Sox a run for their money this year though.
gpt
*smiles* I believe that to be the case. The Yankees are very talented club and always gave a hard time to the Red Sox whether we played them here or at Yankees.
human
Have you been to Fenway Park? I actually saw a game there on a trip to Boston. It's a really cool stadium.
gpt
I have been to Fenway Park a few times and its really nice and especially when we play against the Yankees. I think the Padres will be fine because their ownership is investing .
human
Well I don't know if you heard, but the Padres did just sign Manny Machado this year. I think his contract was like 300 million for 10 years.
gpt
*eyes brighten* You're correct. They are building the team and I think they will do well in the long term but as far as them making it to the World Series, I'm not too sure about that.
human
I don't think they have the pitching yet. That's so important for winning the World Series. Anyway it was nice chatting with you, enjoy the rest of your day!
gpt
*leans slightly forward* You're correct. It all comes down to exceptional pitching to make it to the World Series. I was very nice chatting with you today as well. Have a nice day!!!
