1
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: What is up?

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: course we're always gonna be talking about Wants Soto as

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: much as physically possible, because he's the only thing that

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: matters right now in the entire Mets offseason. Appreciate the

Speaker 1: James, I haven't spoke to you in a while.

26
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: We've been ripping so many episodes that we've been almost

27
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: talking like every single day about this team. It feels

28
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: like over the last couple of weeks, but a week

29
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: away from me. How are you feeling? What's going on

30
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: with you?

31
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: Yeah?

32
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 3: The break was nice, nice to get the breath because

33
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 3: we were like preview off season, preview off seas and

34
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: preview off seas and preview off season. Now we're on

35
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: the eve of qualifying offers, being septed and rejected once

36
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: so there's taking meetings. It feels like the off season

37
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 3: is literally actually finally about to start. I was hanging

38
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: out with our buddy Connor over the weekend. He was like, dude,

39
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: every single day seeing that little blue dot next to

40
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: next to met stuff. I was so excited every single

41
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 3: day of the new episode. That was great, but like, yeah,

42
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: happy to do that. But it feels like now everything

43
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 3: we talked about it again was us being like this

44
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: what we want? This, we think this what could We're

45
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: now we're in in the dirt, We're in the mud

46
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: right now, and we're getting rumors being thrown out left

47
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: and right numbers years, a lot of unfounded bullshit. To

48
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: be fair, radio hosts getting in on the mix. Blogger

49
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: is getting in the mix like it's coming from every

50
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: director right now, as we want to do an episode

51
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: here where we basically parsed through as many rumors as

52
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: we could possibly get to and kind of evaluate each

53
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 3: one for what we believe is validity.

54
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: Is Yeah, it's super funny again for us to actually

55
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: be able to talk about these rumors. This is the

56
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: first off season in the three years of doing this

57
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: podcast where we get to talk about rumors because of

58
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: what just the weird circumstances of where we were before.

59
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: And then we're sating it every episode. Do you say

60
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: that every episode? Now?

61
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: Some people miss it, some people forget it. I'm just

62
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: so happy we get to do this. This is all

63
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: we wanted for years. This is when you get the numbers,

64
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: and we got actual numbers. Maybe about Juan Soto, the

65
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: Mets met with Soto apparently over the weekend in California,

66
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: Steve Cohen, David Searns, maybe Francisco, Lindora. We have no

67
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: clue whether or not he was there. And yeah, and

68
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: Carls Mendoza, but from Carlos Bierga and Hector Gomez, who

69
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: are I mean? Carls Bierra, former MLB player, weirdly breaks

70
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: news sometimes and sometimes is very wrong. Hector Gomez is

71
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: also super hit or miss on what he knows. He's

72
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: locked into the Dominican like he's a guy with the

73
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: Dominican players. He seems to be right more often than not.

74
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: But maybe he's just regurgitating Carlos by Erga because for

75
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: lack of a better term, And this is what we're kind

76
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: of learning this offseason. There are just a lot of

77
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: aggregators when it comes to Twitter, and right now it

78
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: seems like everybody is just trying to get out as

79
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: much news as possible on Twitter.

80
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: You can monetize your Twitter now.

81
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: Everybody's trying to get those impressions, make some money, get

82
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: your money. I'm about it, but this is what ends

83
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: up happening. Six hundred and sixty million dollars is the

84
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: supposed number that the Mets offered to wan Soto this weekend.

85
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 2: The other rumors around it were that apparently the Mets

86
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: came with an extremely detailed plan. The WANSDA was very

87
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: impressed by what the Mets had by how prepared they

88
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: were and how like very much focused they were about

89
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: what was going to happen when they get wan soda,

90
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: what's next. I love hearing that more than I love

91
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: hearing the number, because to me, as long as the

92
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: Mets are the highest bidder, that's really all I can

93
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: ask for.

94
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: But six sixty million, that is quite a bit of money.

95
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, But an important thing to remember right now is

96
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: that there's no verification on whether that number is real, fake, high, low,

97
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: anything end with that report. The thing that makes me

98
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: think it was the fakes is that there was no

99
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: year associated with that. That was just a number. Is

100
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: that ten years? Is that fifteen years? Is that thirteen years?

101
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: There's nothing. No one ever came around and said years.

102
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: The only person who said any years. Two people actually,

103
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: and neither of them know what's going on. One was

104
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 3: Mike Francessa, who said he heard seven hundred and two

105
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: millions for twelve or thirteen years. That's some classic Mike Francessa.

106
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: And then I think either John Boy Jim Bob as

107
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: you'd like to call him here so so lovely, either

108
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: paraphrase from Mike Francessa or francessa paraphrase from him where

109
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 3: he said he heard it was the six sixty for

110
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 3: twelve to thirteen years as well, thirteen or fourteen years

111
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: of every said in that tweet, where these people are

112
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: just pulling things out that think they make sense, and

113
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: then content gets made, Tweets get sent out, impressions get

114
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 3: built up, and suddenly you have a day on Twitter

115
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: with there's millions of impressions about fake contracts, and that's offered

116
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: one so though that we do not know if they

117
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: are real, and likely these are not real. They were

118
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: talking a lot about how these first meetings there were

119
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 3: no money involved, like maybe Steve Cohen wants to drop

120
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: a godfather off. Logically in our Mets fan minds, like

121
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: that would make some sense that he would be like,

122
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: here's the deal that gives you the mo most present

123
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 3: day money of any baseball player ever, because we do

124
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 3: know that. How because of how much money was defferd

125
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: from Shohio Tani's deal last year, it kind of end

126
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 3: up as being more or less like a ten for

127
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 3: a five hundred million dollar deal, more like a ten

128
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: for four to sixty million with all deferred money that

129
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: would come out to a similar AAV as all those

130
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 3: random fake contracts just had for so though, and he

131
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 3: would get more of it upfront. We also know, if

132
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: you get more of it up front, maybe some of

133
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: this money would be deferred. It would make a lot

134
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: of sense for some of this money would be deferred.

135
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: We didn't know show his money was going to be

136
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: deferred until like twenty minutes after the contract was reportedly

137
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: signed last year. So again, the big crocks of what's

138
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 3: going on this time of year we do not know.

139
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 3: But like you said, I love the fact that the

140
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 3: Mets are coming with a plan. And there's been some

141
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 3: other reports the last couple days, and Ernest Dove said this,

142
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: and I think Tim Britton was talking about it to that.

143
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: As all this.

144
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 3: Stuff goes on for the Mets, a lot of money

145
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: they keep seeing is being reinvested in the minor league program.

146
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: They're building more housing near Port Saint Lucy. The pitching

147
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: lab is bustling right now. They could play more money

148
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: at the player's nutrition, in their foods types. Those are

149
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: things you could tell a player like Wan So that

150
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 3: when he'll I think understand how important it is for

151
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 3: the future and why he'd want to join an organization

152
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 3: that's doing things like this.

153
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: Well, there was a report and I don't remember who

154
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: it came out by.

155
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: Again, it was like Friday night and I was at

156
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: a wedding, but it was saying that Juan Soto apparently

157
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: not only cares about, like you know, getting his money,

158
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: making sure he's on a winning team. He wants to

159
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 2: know how are you gonna build a sustainable winner as well,

160
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: because if you're signing a contract with the team for

161
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: fifteen years, you don't want to end up having the

162
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: Chris Bryant situation where you're like, oh my god, these

163
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 2: guys the Rockies gave me all this money, but I'm

164
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: never gonna be on a winning team again, Like this

165
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: franchise as a hole for the entire time that I'm here.

166
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: I will never play winning baseball again in my life.

167
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: Wan Sota wants to make sure that you, like you said,

168
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: you are gonna spend that money on the minor league system.

169
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: You're gonna be able to go out and sign other players.

170
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: Who else is gonna be joining me here? Because I

171
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: know that just me does not make this team better

172
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: than the Los Angeles Dodgers, does not make us World

173
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: Series champions. You gotta go out and get a full

174
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 2: MLB roster and make that team good. And I think

175
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: the fact that one David Surton is one of the

176
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 2: smartest executives in all Major League Baseball, Steve Collins got

177
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: the deepest pockets in all of Major League Baseball. Carls

178
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: Mendoza seems to be one of the just more well

179
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: rounded managers in Major League Baseball. That's got to be

180
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: something that's reassuring to a guy like Juan Soto as well,

181
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: who's been in a bunch of different organizations casually all

182
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: built very differently. The Yankees are built very differently than

183
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: the Padres. The Padres were built very differently than the Nationals.

184
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: He's been able to kind of see all the different

185
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: teams and how they've built. I think this is like

186
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: a really it's even more unique than we are making

187
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: this one Sota free agency to be because he's almost

188
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: using it as he's part of the front office too

189
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: in a way.

190
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: Another thing that makes you unique is that it's rare

191
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: that any players on their first contract get to play

192
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: for that many different teams. Yes, let alone players who

193
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: are this good and this valuable on the open market.

194
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: So the fact that he did get to have three

195
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: very like honest looks, and three different organizations, like you

196
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: just said, run their team very differently. This whole situation

197
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: is incredibly unique, and we keep saying how unique he

198
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: is a freegent, how unique he is a free agent

199
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,119
Speaker 3: like this is this is like Alex Rodriguez free agency

200
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: on steroids, probably less about a raw where he wanted

201
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: to see who would just treat him the best simply

202
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,559
Speaker 3: as a human, who would give him the most things,

203
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: rather than who could build the best winner and the

204
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: aired one's also weird comparison. He got fucking traded two

205
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 3: years after that to the Yankees. But there was also

206
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: the report that came out late last week from Joseph Rebo.

207
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: Rebel Ross Rebel, I don't not say the last name

208
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: r E b O y r A. S. Raboyas, I don't.

209
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: Know raboyas Roboris Joseph Boris, I basically said that it

210
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: was translated post to Carls Beltran said the team will

211
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 3: do whatever it takes to sign one, and then that

212
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: got blasted again by all the new Mets aggregators. Rip

213
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: Jenny Mets. I don't know if that quote was real,

214
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: I'm not. This is nothing about josephro Borias following or

215
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 3: his job as a reporter. He's eight hundred followers, I

216
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: don't know. It's never been breaking news that he's done before.

217
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 3: So for Carls Beltran, a member of the Mets organization,

218
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: to say things like this out loud, that seems like

219
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: just kind of ridiculous to me that they would show

220
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 3: their hand that much.

221
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: It's not that they're showing their hands.

222
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: I think everybody knows that the Mets are going to

223
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: do everything in their power to sign Wan Solo. But again,

224
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: this is just this time of year. You have to

225
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 3: be so careful, especially in this new world of where

226
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: the Mets are, well, we're gonna be we we are

227
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 3: the bad guys right now. We're linked to everybody, we

228
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: have the most money, we have the most space in

229
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: front of our luxury attacks. Like we said in the

230
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: last episode to you guys, we should be like to everybody.

231
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: We should be in on everybody. There should be plan A,

232
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: Plan B, Plan C, Plan D, like we should have

233
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: everything lined up and ready to go. So be super

234
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: duper careful of what you're seeing on Twitter.

235
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, without a doubt. I think it's just everything

236
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: with a grain of salt. Again, we love Tim Britton,

237
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: we love Will Sam and those are guys we love

238
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: Heally as well. Yeah, Tacoma, Like, those guys are all

239
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: very reliable sources. And then you have Ken Rosenthal, Jeff Passing,

240
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: like the big names, Bob Nightingales a legend, He's tweeted it.

241
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 2: He's been played a fool so many times. I mean,

242
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 2: Trevor Bauer played him like the biggest fool ever when

243
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: he tweeted out that he signed with the New York

244
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: Mets and then an hour later was Los Angeles Dodre.

245
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, thank god that happened.

246
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: But we know that there's definitely an inner circle of

247
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: trust and guys that will give you legitimate news. When

248
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: they tweet something that it's true, that is the news,

249
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 2: that is fact. There is no speculation right now. Everything

250
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: we're seeing is speculation. And what I kind of like

251
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: about this too, is I love that there's so much

252
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: speculation about the Mets because that I think that means

253
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: we're a little more tight lipped than we know normally

254
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: have been in the past. And that's something we've noticed

255
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 2: with the coin organization too, is that the leaks, the

256
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: rumors and everything not really coming out as much as

257
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: they were in the past.

258
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's sign of a healthy front office

259
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: because again, all of these rumors that are coming out,

260
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: they are not exactly people that usually have their finger

261
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 3: on any Mets pulse. No, we have colls Berger, we

262
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: have Hector Gomez, we have Michael Kay who said that

263
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: the Mets are expected to beat any offer that comes

264
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: out by fifty million dollars.

265
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: Where does that number come from? I love like the

266
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: idea of Michael Kay.

267
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: I know he used to be a reporter, like before

268
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: he became the Yankees guy, he was a reporter, so

269
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure in the nineties he had connections and stuff

270
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: like that. But like, it's definitely feels like one of

271
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 2: those things where in conversation with someone they were like,

272
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: yeahs SPE's gonna probably spend fifty million mores, Like that's

273
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: a fact, I'm gonna say.

274
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: Exactly, yeah, and it is probably.

275
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: Again, this like little circles going around between Jim, Bob

276
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: Frances and Michael Kay. We are all kind of regurgitating

277
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: each other's rumors and then saying they heard it from somewhere,

278
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 3: they heard it from somewhere.

279
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: They heard him somewhere.

280
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,599
Speaker 3: Now we have a triangle of nonsense, a triangle of

281
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: bullshit right there, and we don't know what's true.

282
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: Then you do have the article from John.

283
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 3: Hayman saying that the Mets meeting with one so that

284
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 3: went very well, which is like that when Hayman says

285
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: something that vague.

286
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: We also know I do believe him, and we also

287
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: know he's the Boris puppet. He's got the strings. It's

288
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: hard like he he is the Boris puppet.

289
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 3: And if it would make the most sense ever for

290
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: all this news come out about how well the Mets

291
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: did in their meeting the day before he meets with

292
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 3: the Yankees, right, Like, wouldn't that make a lot of

293
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: sense to all of you guys? Is that the best

294
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 3: thing to possibly get the most money is scared of

295
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: the Yankees as fucking much as possible before they meet

296
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: with him, Like it's all It all makes sense when

297
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 3: you step back. But we're so deep in it right now,

298
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 3: and we won't want some of this team so fucking

299
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: bad that it's hard to it's hard to separate, like

300
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 3: the real from the bullshit.

301
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: Oh, it's it's super hard and I can't blame anybody

302
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: who has a difficulty separating it because the world that

303
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: we live in is just regurgitate diarrhea, put it on

304
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: on Twitter and hope that it gets impressions.

305
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: That's really how it works. That's what we do on

306
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: this channel too. We do plenty of that.

307
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: I mean, if you read our titles, they've been so

308
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: dramatic the last like three or four episodes. Gotta get

309
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: those clicks, got get those views, Gotta make that money.

310
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: Speaking of making money, got a sponsor right now, shout

311
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: out Minmobile.

312
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 4: I love a great deal, but I'm not going to

313

Speaker 2: All right, so we know Wan Soto, we want them badly.

333
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: I still can't believe that the conversation there's people out

334
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 2: there who are, like, spend the money on two superstars

335
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: one Who are the two superstars available right now to

336
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: spend that money on. I would like to know who

337
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: the two players are on the market. What Pilonzo Corman burns?

338
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: Oh y, yeah, yeah, I'm sure.

339
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure those guys are equal value to Wan Soto

340
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: in terms of players.

341
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: I mean, a really good comparison for something like this

342
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: is like ten years ago now when the Yankees missed

343
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: out lost out Robinson Cano when he went to Seattle

344
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: before he famously came to the Mets, and the Yankees

345
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 3: were like, you know what, we missed out Robins of Cano.

346
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: The price tag got too big for us. We're gonna

347
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: spread the money around.

348
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 3: We're gonna get a dynamic center fielder, like a stud catcher.

349
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: And then I think they got a picture with that,

350
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: but I can't remember. But I know the other two.

351
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 3: Oh no, and they got No, they got two outfielders

352
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: and a catcher. That's what they did. Do you remember

353
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: who it was? Jacoby Elsberry, Yes, Brian McCann.

354
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Who's the other outfielder that the Yankees will spent

355
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: money on? Was it Aaron Hicks? No, give you a hint.

356
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: I already said his name on this podcast.

357
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: For he said his name on the podcast. Who was it,

358
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm blanking right now. Carlos Beltron, Oh yeah, yeah,

359
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: Carlos was a Yankee.

360
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

361
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 3: So they paid those guys and came out to like,

362
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 3: I think even a little bit more than ROMs of

363
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 3: canoza AV and I think everyone would have probably rather

364
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 3: just signed the one guy.

365
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: So spread the money around to three bus.

366
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because and again none of those guys want. Soto

367
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: was like, I don't know so much better than Robinson

368
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: Cano even was so.

369
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: And I think there's also just a lot of concern

370
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: that people are scared that what Solo's gonna get annually

371
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 3: is gonna like totally like block in the Mets roster,

372
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: where again we talked about last episode, the Mets have

373
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: an unprecedented amount of money they're willing to spend this offseason,

374
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: considering how far they are below to compe to the

375
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 3: balanced tax lines right now, and how how willing Steve

376
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: come has always been to go well above.

377
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: Every single tax threshold.

378
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: We're the only team that I think, I think the

379
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: Dodgers probably in the Yankees tube, I think only us

380
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: the Dodgers three years.

381
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: In a row, got over all three levels.

382
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 3: And then you compare it to the show Hall Timey

383
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 3: contract where against the luxury tax, he's kind of forty

384
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: six million dollars, which is like exactly where this one

385
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: and so of the deal is gonna end up in range.

386
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 3: Like I sad, everyone's mind's getting a little bit flexed

387
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 3: by all of these reports at like a ten year,

388
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 3: six hundred million dollar contract not happening. There's no fucking

389
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: way that's true. That's just not true. It doesn't make

390
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 3: sense for one solo signed ten year contract. Why would

391
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 3: the twenty six year old want a ten year contract.

392
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 3: He should want a five year contract or a fifteen

393
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: year contract. Ten does nothing for him, so he can

394
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: be free agent at thirty six years old. That's the

395
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: worst time to be a free agent. He'll do everything

396
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: his power not to make that contract happen. That's again sidebar.

397
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 3: We gotta do it like once a month. So by

398
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: Francisco indoor contract. So fucking good, it's over. He's thirty

399
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 3: seven years old. No other contract in baseball like that.

400
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 3: Just man, so fucking great. I just I can't we do.

401
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: It too much now.

402
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: You guys probably get annoyed, but I can't see any

403
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: reason why you don't give one so though as much

404
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 3: money as he could possibly desire.

405
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, give him all the money, give him a blank check,

406
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: and I really do think they will all right. Some

407
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: other rumors to talk about here from other players and

408
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: other reporters. I mentioned our boy Bobby Nightingale earlier. He

409
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: put out a tweet I think on the weekend or

410
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: just before the weekend started, that the Mets will aggressively

411
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: pursue Christian Walker Martiniz Sports Management or his agent. I

412
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: don't know really who else they have on their client list,

413
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: because when you go to their website, their main that

414
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: they're showing off on there as Derek Hollins, who I

415
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: don't think it has been a major League baseball for

416
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: a couple of years, So that's that's interesting.

417
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: I listen.

418
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: I like Christian Walker. I prefer Pete A. Lonzo I

419
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: think over a longer period of time. Christianer Walker is

420
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: very much a short term plan at first base. I

421
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: don't see him signing more than a three year contract

422
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: at most because I think he's thirty four to thirty

423
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: five years old.

424
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: He's a good player. I think he's very comparable to

425
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: what Peter A.

426
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: Lonzo is going to give you the last couple of years,

427
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: Like they've they've been neck and neck in terms of production.

428
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: He would just be a shorter term fix and probably

429
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: end up still being around the same aav as Pete

430
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: for those years that he signed.

431
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a little different, though, and I get

432
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: all this will trickle down just based on what happens

433
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: once so though, but Pete is simply going to give

434
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: you more home runs, yes, and a little bit worse defense,

435
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: but the first base defense thing, we're always like I

436
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: dodged do simply don't give a fuck. And Pete is

437
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 3: a good scooper, so I'll give him that for the

438
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: first base defense elite scoops. But I just see I

439
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: can I can see the Mets wanting to be a

440
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: little bit more flexible at their cost at a position

441
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: that they don't think is the most important. If they

442
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 3: had just committed for the million dollars a year to

443
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: one player for the next fifteen years, like, I could

444
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: see them being like, let's let's make sure we don't

445
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: put on too many long commitments on.

446
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: Top of this.

447
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 3: I also, again just can't really see why they would

448
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 3: be again, like quote aggressive about these things, which is

449
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 3: why this time, Hey, areno, you have to kind of

450
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: ignore every single thing you hear.

451
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's no reason to be aggressive on anybody

452
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: right now besides Wan Soto and I guess Corbyn Burns.

453
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: I think those would be the two guys right now

454
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 2: that if there was ever a rush to be like,

455
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: I want to get him done right now, is because

456
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: they're gonna be an amount of money where you want

457
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: to get that settled instantly. And they're a caliber of

458
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 2: player where you want to get that settled instantly. Christian

459
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: Walker's a guy who could still be a free.

460
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: Agent in January. I think. I think that's a super peky.

461
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: He could be a frag in March.

462
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, and it's it's nothing against how he is

463
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 2: as a player. He's a very good baseball player. It's

464
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 2: just they're like, it's him and Pete Alonzo, that's that's

465
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: it at first base, and even.

466
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: Then Golschmid and different levels. But yeah, like.

467
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: The price difference doesn't make you need to rush to

468
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: sign Christian Walker when the production can also be comparable

469
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: for those guys at some point.

470
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 3: For sure, another guy who I think could be a

471
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 3: free agent for a very very long time. Yeah, the

472
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 3: other rumors that are going out. Bob Nineingels also connected

473
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: the Mets to Alex Bregman, said the Mets are seriously

474
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: considering Alex Bregman and to move Mark Fantis the first base. Again,

475
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: we do not know where these rumors are coming from.

476
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 3: We have no idea. There's no indication of the Mets

477
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: that they ever want to change Mark Zandel's position. It's

478
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 3: just people saying these things, and people connected. And then

479
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: the report comes out on Monday that Alex Bregman is

480
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 3: seeking a deal that's comparable to Many Michilo's contract, which

481
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: was eleven for three hundred and fifty million dollars. Eleven

482
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 3: for three hundred and thirty million dollars.

483
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 5: Correct.

484
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's crazy what they're connected him to. And

485
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: this comes from Ken Rosenthal article as well, So there's

486
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: so definitely, definitely real. Yeah, and it's Scott Borris is

487
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: saying he wants close to an eleven year, three hundred

488
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 2: and fifty million dollars deal, which I mean, there's just

489
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: no way on God's green Earth that Alex Breman gets

490
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: that kind of money. He will be a free agent

491
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: till the end of time. If that's what he wants,

492
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 2: no one will to sign him.

493
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: That's another thing.

494
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 3: This time, this time of year is really just to

495
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 3: get more money for your clients. All of these rumors

496
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: can all be traced back to an age that wants

497
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: to get every single dollar out of the baseball team

498
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 3: they're trying to negotiate with for the player that they

499
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: wanted to be on their team, every single one. This

500
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 3: is nonsense. I think Alex Bregman and Scott boris no

501
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 3: that there's no way that he's gonna get Macha's contract.

502
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: He's worse in every fastt of the game, and he

503
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: has basically his entire career.

504
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: Like there's no one year where they cheated. Yeah, he has, but.

505
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 3: There's nothing that Bregman does in baseball feels better than Chadlow.

506
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: There's not saying Bregman's not a great player. Bregman's fantastic player.

507
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: But for him too. And also, Machida was twenty seven

508
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: when he signed that deal. Bregman was a early thirty.

509
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 2: Like the absolutely uh Machado's contract was actually cheaper the

510
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 2: first time he signed around I think it was ten

511
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: for three hundred, and then this last February he had

512
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 2: the opt out the renegotiation and became eleven for three fifty.

513
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: But that was that was to sign him till the

514
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: end of time, like he no longer has to worry

515
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 2: about a contract anymore. Where the first one I think

516
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 2: made him similarly a free agent at like thirty eight.

517
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 2: I think this one bought out those years till he's forty.

518
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: And that's also an interesting thing because who signed that contract.

519
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: The San Diego Padres correct yes, yeah, okay, So if

520
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: you look at right now, all the contracts in baseball

521
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 3: has guys signed until their past forty years old. Right now,

522
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: it's it's it's three Padres, it is is Zando, two Padres,

523
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: Xander Bogarts, and it's many Machado and then you have

524
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: Trey Turner. Those are the contracts I've guys sign until

525
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 3: they're forty.

526
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: That's it. Oh, I thought you had more. I thought

527
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna get that was that's all. I was gonna get.

528
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: What else you want? I don't know?

529
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: All right, Next rumor, Nolan Aeronado apparently could be a

530
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: fit for the Mets from John Hayman. I mean, I love,

531
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: I love the wording here. This player could be a fit.

532
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: What do you watch our video? And then he just regurgitated.

533
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: He was like, you know, what makes sense If the

534
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 2: Mets need a third baseman, they could trade for Nolan Aeronado.

535
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 2: I mean, thanks John, good reporting there, Bud.

536
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: My dad told me that too. He was like, is

537
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 3: he watching your guys videos? I was like, I don't

538
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 3: think so, but I mean I think it's just again,

539
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: it makes sense that Nolan Arnado is a fit for

540
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 3: the Mets. We got there by logic. John Hayman also

541
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 3: probably got there by logic, probably got there a week

542
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: later because he had other articles to writing, things to do.

543
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 3: But that's just kind of I guess he is a

544
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: fit again, and we people have been, I think, weirdly

545
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 3: coming around on the Fit recently.

546
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: You don't think so, you think it's the opposite. I

547
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: think I think people are very against it.

548
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: And I again, my mind's really only been on Wan Soto,

549
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: so I haven't even considered it, like actually outside of

550
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 2: the time we did the video.

551
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: But where are you seeing people coming around to it?

552
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't know.

553
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: I feel oh, I think actually Mookie Best also going

554
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 3: back to look at some more contracts, is signed that's

555
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 3: to forty years old, so a fourth.

556
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: Guy beside it feels like it's gonna age like Wine though,

557
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: like he's just such a little freak.

558
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 3: Two of the four guys signed to forty. Even Bryce

559
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 3: Harper's gonna be out of there right when he turns

560
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 3: for you. I don't think he actually got to play

561
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 3: his age forty season with the contracts. Just this, it's

562
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 3: just that doesn't happen. The Padres happened to be dumb

563
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: enough to do these a lot because they don't have

564
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: as much literally money upfront, so they have to give

565
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 3: money on the back end. And they literally said, we

566
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: don't care, we will figure that. When that happens, damn

567
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 3: shame their owner passed away. So this was all totally

568
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 3: a problem for everybody else, not the people who are actually

569
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: signing this contracts. The Celtics doing that too. The Celtics

570
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: and Basketball just signed so many contracts, go so deep

571
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 3: in the NBA luxury tax for five, six, seven years

572
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 3: to the whole core.

573
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: Then they put the team for sale. It's like, what

574
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: are you doing?

575
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,239
Speaker 3: Like, it's just I think a lot of people get

576
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: fixated on these numbers and that's all it is. Every

577
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: single time this time of year. The owner's doing that.

578
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: But again, Nolan are not for the Mets.

579
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: It makes tons of sense, but not, I don't know,

580
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 3: it's just you don't really want to think about that.

581
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: Now because we have so many bigger fish to fry. No, yeah,

582
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: like it's that's the problem. More so, Yes, that is

583
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: more so the problem, without a doubt.

584
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: The real thing, which we will talk about after a

585
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 2: quick ad right here, is gonna be talking about Louis Severino.

586
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 2: And Shamanaiya because we got some qualifying offer updates, but

587
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 2: first an ad so we know that Shaman I is

588
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: going to decline the qualifying offer. I think it's technically

589
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 2: officially happened already, even though the deadline hasn't passed. But

590
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: I mean, we all knew as Mets fans he was

591
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 2: not gonna take a one year deal. He deserves most

592
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: years he's gonna get paid. Peter Alonzo as well. Sever

593
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: Reno's the interesting one because both me and you thought

594
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 2: that when the Mets gave him the qualifying offer, there

595
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 2: was almost no chance he wasn't gonna take it. Right now,

596
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 2: it's expected that he is going to decline the qualifying offer,

597
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: per Will Salmon, which is interesting because Severino's.

598
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: Market like he's gonna get paid.

599
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: Like, I'm not denying that he can make close to

600
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: twenty million dollars a year, but don't I don't know

601
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: like what happens to contract as the years get added on,

602
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: because I'm sure the reason being is he doesn't sign

603
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: an want to sign another one year deal?

604
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 3: True, and I think that again from Louis Evergnna, it

605
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: seems like a val concern. I'm sure that he has

606
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 3: had many problems injuries his career, not saying that he

607
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 3: doesn't think he can stay healthy for another one, but

608
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 3: the fact he did just stay healthy for a whole one.

609
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: He was like, I'd really like to get paid multiple

610
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 3: years now and secure more money than I ever have.

611
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: In my career.

612
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 3: But then when you look at other pictures contracts in

613
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: the league, and he starts to look at years and talented,

614
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 3: the talent of these pictures and where they were when

615
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 3: they signed these deals. Robbie Ray when he signed his

616
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 3: deal was coming off a side young season. He was

617
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 3: considered like one of the highest free agents in the league.

618
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 3: He had twenty three million dollars annual deal. Kevin Goussman

619
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 3: similar to twenty two million, Luis Castillo similar twenty one

620
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 3: point five million, Chris Basset two years ago. Better than

621
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 3: sever We're gonna know, more liable for more years. To Seve,

622
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 3: We're gonna twenty one million. That's the level that the

623
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 3: one year deal would have been. Joe Musgrove also probably

624
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: considered better than Louis Everagna where he is now five years,

625
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 3: one hundred million, twenty million year. I think we're Severgno

626
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 3: probably settles in I think this is also a situation

627
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 3: where he's probably fine with it because he's going to

628
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 3: guarantee himself simply just more money than one year for

629
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 3: twenty one million something like which is Troman got last

630
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: year two for thirty seven something like what like I'm

631
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 3: trying to think like James and tay Own got last

632
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 3: year four for sixty eight, where you're signing a guy

633
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 3: for a lot of the years at below the market

634
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: value technically like below the market value, but.

635
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: You're giving him years a year.

636
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 3: Like to me, seve Reno seems like someone who's who

637
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: could really lock himself into like like three for fifty two, Like.

638
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 2: That feels like a good and it might be more

639
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 2: important for him right now to get a larger total

640
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: amount of money because he's like, hey, twenty one million

641
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 2: next year is good. But if I stink I'm that's

642
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 2: all I got is twenty one million, or if I

643
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 2: get hurt, that's all I got.

644
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: Where I'd rather take less per year, but be able

645
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: to get a.

646
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 3: Bigger guaranteed once you once you put your name there,

647
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 3: it's guaranteed, like John Gray a couple of years ago,

648
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: four for fifty six, like that seems like the low

649
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: end of where a guy like Luis sa Reno like

650
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: couldn't show that score. Even two years ago, Zach Gethluin

651
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 3: got three for forty which is the these offers all like. Now,

652
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 3: when you look at what these pictures have done on

653
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 3: these contracts, they're all seem incredibly incredibly cheap. So maybe

654
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 3: sev Arno could do that too. Also last year Seth

655
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 3: Lugo three for forty five, fifteen million dollars a year.

656
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: And I also think that the deadline's gonna happen on

657
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 3: Tuesday four o'clock, so some of you guys are probably

658
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 3: listening to this before the deadline. Some of you guys

659
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 3: might be listen to this after that deadline, So this

660
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 3: comment could be stupid. I think a little part of

661
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: it might be some posturing from sever Reno and just

662
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 3: trying to get that last like two year, three year

663
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 3: deal off or from the Mets. I don't know if

664
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 3: that means he actually if he doesn't get that from

665
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 3: the Mets sinics. I think he loves being in New York.

666
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 3: I think he really likes being on this team too.

667
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 3: We just saw a whole weekend of our whole week

668
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 3: of Louis Averno, Jos Akatani stalling mart Sean vacation together

669
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: in Japan, which is I don't know many other baseball

670
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 3: teams that vacation to Asia together. So that's that was

671
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 3: pretty cool to see. But it seems like is the

672
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: timing of when that rumor came out, like four days

673
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: before the deadline, someone who also is like I love

674
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: being in New York. That was part of the report

675
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 3: that Will Sam had put out there. That's like one

676
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: last nutch to the Mets. He'd like, meet me somewhere

677
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 3: in the middle here that we'd love to get this done.

678
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 3: There could also be a world where the Mets don't

679
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 3: want to do that for all the same reasons we

680
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 3: said before, knowing Louis Everyne's injured history, knowing that last

681
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 3: year most of his talent came from mitigating heart contact

682
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 3: rather than becoming like the power of strike got pitch

683
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 3: that used to be in the past. Like everything Severrino

684
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 3: did last year wasn't exactly stickier, repeatable, or trustworthy more

685
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 3: than like what you would hope for, like a three starter,

686
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 3: which is again back in the range of where I

687
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 3: think I'm pegging him for some of these deals.

688
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the other thing that makes it

689
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: feel like maybe some posturing two for Severino is having

690
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: that qualifying offer declined by him and then becoming a

691
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: free agent makes him a lot less attractive to a

692
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: bunch of.

693
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: Teams, significantly less like Nick Martinez, who I think is

694
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 3: a little bit lower than sev Reno. But also if you,

695
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 3: if you like put a gun to my head so

696
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 3: Nick Martinez, like it would be there would be a

697
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 3: tight Yeah. I think you would have to actually really

698
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 3: think about it. He took the offer and he's now

699
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 3: going to have the highest single season AAV in the

700
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 3: Cincinnatirat's history. Wow, that's on one year deals, like basically

701
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 3: number three starter, which is really funny. But if you

702
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 3: decline that offer, you're like a lepard to the other teams.

703
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: Teams have to give up.

704
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 3: I think they're depending on the team like their second

705
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: highest draft pick to sign you, and the Mets get

706
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 3: the compensation pick back for them. I don't know who's

707
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 3: giving Louis Aevrino a three year deal where they're willing

708
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 3: to give a pick to get a guy who's like

709
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 3: again like a three starter. So that could just wind

710
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 3: up where severy no overplays his hand. It still just

711
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 3: comes back to the Mets on a cheap deal. Yeah,

712
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 3: which maybe he's fine with us. Maybe he's just willing

713
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 3: to take that shot, Like maybe he's willing to take

714
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: like a two for thirty five from the Mets worst

715
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 3: case scenario. Because it's still not that far away from

716
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: the one year av of the qualifying offer. He still

717
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: gets to stay in New York. It seems like he

718
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 3: does not want to leave New York.

719
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: Again.

720
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 3: I keep saying that, Yeah, but it is everything this

721
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 3: time hears such this little cat and Moss game, back

722
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 3: and forth, back and forth. It is interesting though that

723
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,479
Speaker 3: it didn't seem to be any movement on any extension

724
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 3: talks to either Mania or Alonso though.

725
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: No.

726
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what I think part of the reasons,

727
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: they're just really focused on one Soto.

728
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they should be.

729
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 3: I think also, weirdly, part of the focus on Wan

730
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 3: so Tho is trickling down to some of the smaller

731
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 3: moves they've been making. We talked like a week and

732
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 3: a half ago by the Mets signing Dylan Kovee. I

733
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: thought it was interesting that they signed him to a

734
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 3: major league contract.

735
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: On Monday.

736
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 3: They also signed my career minor league believer of Justin Hageman,

737
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 3: also to a major league contract. Those are the kind

738
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 3: of moves you make early in the off season where

739
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 3: you see something interesting about these guys and you try

740
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 3: to jump the market by signing. These guys are likely

741
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: expecting minor league offers, and you're giving the major league

742
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 3: golfers they guaranteed beat any minor league golfer, but you're

743
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 3: only giving them like a hair a smidge over the

744
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 3: league minimum. I think Hagenman, you said before hes making

745
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 3: what eight hundred and fifty thousand, Next year he eight.

746
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 2: Eighty five or something. I think league made rooms are

747
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: like right around five to six hundred thousand.

748
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 3: I think like now is like seven to sixty seven

749
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 3: eighty with the new CBX, I think it was went

750
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: up a couple of years in a row with new stuff,

751
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 3: just like luxury tax. But I think that's a deal

752
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 3: where it's like he probably got twenty minor league golfers

753
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: with invites the spring training, and like, here's a major

754
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 3: league golfer, just take one of these spots. So now

755
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 3: Hagenman and Dylan Kovee are in the Mets Major League bullpen.

756
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 3: I know Covid does not have an option. I don't

757
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 3: know about Hageman, but that I mean Hageman probably does

758
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: does because he hasn't been to the majors yet. That

759
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 3: seems like the prelude, the precursor for a team who's

760
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: making moves to make sure that they can fill in

761
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 3: the back end of their roster when they get really

762
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 3: really really close to the to the to certain competitive

763
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 3: tax balanced thresholds.

764
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: To spending all the money that's physically yeah possible, spending

765
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: the money in bulk in the right places, and now

766
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: like okay, now we're filling in the cracks.

767
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 3: It seems to me just like some pre crack filling

768
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 3: with guys for Yeah, that was kind of funny when

769
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: it came out.

770
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: Of my mouth.

771
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was under antig today, so still little loopy,

772
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 3: But that to me is just like, here's a guy

773
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: undred million dollars who we think can give us like

774
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: three million dollars.

775
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: In value, and you know, if he's not, then that's it.

776
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: He's gone.

777
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it's really doesn't hurt because it's it's nothing

778
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: at that point. In terms of other rumors around baseball.

779
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: I know a lot of Mets fans, us included, are

780
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 2: interested to see what's going on with Corden Burns. There

781
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: hasn't been a ton going on with him, but right

782
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: now Oriols and Dodgers are being linked to him the most, which.

783
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: This is also funny.

784
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: Hold on, Hageman went to Penn State really and he

785
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: does have three minor league options, So he has three options,

786
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 3: but Dylan Kovey has none. Okay, that's gonna be interesting though,

787
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 3: So Covie's in on the Mets this year, so we'll

788
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 3: see what that happens. But yeah, State, Yeah, yeah, Penn State,

789
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 3: twenty eight year old career minor league got a major

790
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 3: league deal, all right, justin Hageman. But yeah, Cordon Burns, Orioles,

791
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: Dodgers top suitters right now. I also know there was

792
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 3: some crochet rumors coming out. Different reports can out Bodeen

793
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 3: bowed in whatever you say, and other people are saying

794
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 3: that the Red Sox and the Blue Jays and the

795
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 3: Twins or whatever. But then maybe sometimes the Mets are

796
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: interested or the everything's so conflicting with each other.

797
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: This is what happens during the offseason. I think if

798
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: you don't hear the Mets name connected to a player.

799
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: That's not necessarily a worry either.

800
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: No, I think it's almost almost kind of a bit

801
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 3: of a good thing. I think it's a really good chance.

802
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 3: The Mester also doing the due Dilo Johns on every

803
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 3: single one of these guys, because every single good team should.

804
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 3: But I thought it was very interesting that was that

805
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 3: passon who.

806
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: Did oh Is Morosi? John Morossi. He said that the

807
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: Orioles and the Dodgers are the top suits for Corbyn Burns.

808
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: I guess that's true.

809
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 3: I don't understand how they could be the only ones, though,

810
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 3: Like it seems to be like everyone would be willing

811
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 3: to offer him a contract.

812
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like if you think about the teams

813
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball, and I know I think they

814
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: mentioned this on foul Territory the other day when I

815
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: was watching them talk about their for agent predictions, like

816
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: Corbin Burns would be a great Cub, Like he'd be

817
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: great in that Batimarestic, he'd be an awesome Boston Red

818
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 2: Sox as well. I know that's something that you've brought up,

819
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: Like he'd be great out in Boston, he'd be great

820
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: in Baltimore. He'd be great in Toronto, he'd be great

821
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: in San Francisco. Like, there are so many teams where

822
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: he makes sense. And I know maybe on this podcast

823
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: we've been a little bit less, uh, you know, forward

824
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: about how much money he truly deserves it, whether or

825
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 2: not he is a real thirty five million dollar pitcher

826
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: or not going forward. But I think for a lot

827
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 2: of these teams he is still he's still an ace,

828
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: Like there's no doubt he's still a frontline starter. Our

829
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: debate had always just been is he Garrett Cole money?

830
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: And he might not be there maybe, but he's still

831
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: really really good. So like the only teams that are

832
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: interested being the Dodgers and Orioles. That also doesn't feel

833
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: right now.

834
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 3: The thing that the only detraction we have about Corbyn

835
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 3: Burns is something that would be like the greatest compliment

836
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 3: paid to any other pitch in the league. I just

837
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 3: don't think he's one of the five best drunning pitches

838
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 3: in baseball. He's still Yeah, he says around like between

839
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 3: eight and twelve, like very comfortably, Like he makes it.

840
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 3: He has five pitches he can use in any count,

841
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 3: any moment, any any situation, any time, any day, any

842
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 3: any any second.

843
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: A lot of this has to deal with the fact that,

844
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 2: like he's gonna get eight nine year contract, Like if

845
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: we're having these questions right now, I'm sure like when

846
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: he's thirty six, it's not gonna be He's not still

847
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: not gonna be an ace.

848
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: Like that's part of it too, I think, yeah, totally.

849
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 3: I also think that it is interesting that the Dodgers

850
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 3: are connected to him, because I think the Dodgers are

851
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 3: the sleeping giant with Wan so Tho that for some.

852
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: Reason I can't shake being a tiny bit scare though

853
00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: I can tell.

854
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: You why, because they do it every off season, every

855
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: off season for the last five they've been like you you, you,

856
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 2: you you, and we're amazing again, Like they say, Kayoscar

857
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: Hernandez a couple of days after Orotani last You're like, how.

858
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: Did you do that? You just spent seven hundred million again.

859
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: We talked about this in our first off season episode,

860
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 3: where that's the mark of a good franchise where they

861
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 3: don't let generational players get away from them because they

862
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: know how rare that they become available. Like they were like,

863
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 3: we'll trade whatever from Mooki best sim tomorrow Showhotani literally

864
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: designed the contract yourself. Anything you want, like Freddy Freeman,

865
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 3: you want a five year deal thirty four?

866
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: Sure, why not? You are Freddy Freeman, Like you're.

867
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 3: One of the best players of this generation, like Yoshinobiyamo

868
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: have never thrown a pitch of Major League Baseball. We're

869
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 3: gonna put three hundred fifty million dollars in your lap.

870
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 3: And if you look at the Dodgers right now for

871
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 3: next year's team, they're at like two hundred and twenty

872
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 3: eight million, which is like seventy shockingly a lot of

873
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: money that they could spend shocking a lot.

874
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: But also this team right now, they're starting rotation for

875
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: next year. Yamo.

876
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 3: The sure Otani's not gonna pitch some midseason glass now,

877
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: we have no idea. So after Yammo, though their only

878
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 3: starters are health, they're gonna be healthy in opening day,

879
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 3: are Consolin, Bobby Miller, Dustin May and then like the

880
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 3: guys who ended this year, Landon Nak and Casparius like

881
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 3: they're they really do need to fill it in like that,

882
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 3: That to me was why, like I feel a little

883
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: bit of solace with them. With the Corbyn Burns rumors,

884
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: I'm like, please go after Corbin Burns. Yes, just take

885
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: Corden Burns off the board. Spend your forty million on

886
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 3: Corbyn Burns. So leave leave so though for the East Coast,

887
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 3: leave them for the Mets and Yankees a fire over

888
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 3: the figure out the rest later, because you guys just

889
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 3: need pitching, like you guys need a lot more pitching.

890
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: Don't worry about the fact that James Outenman Andy Payes

891
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: right now are like going to be in your Major

892
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: League OTFE. Don't worry about that, not the big deal.

893
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: You don't have to shortstop who cares, don't worry about that,

894
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: just don't. Don't even look at one. So though, yeah,

895
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: make you row.

896
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 3: They are similar, but again it's similar to the Mets

897
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 3: where like their rosters, I mean not so much the

898
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 3: Mets because their roster is sick as fuck, but it's

899
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 3: it's largely incomplete, and they they have so much less

900
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 3: money to work with in the Mets, I don't know

901
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 3: how willing they'd be even together Burns or anything like them.

902
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: To me, I don't know.

903
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 3: They seem to be much more willing to like the

904
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: shop in the bargain bin of pitchers and get like

905
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 3: three guys add more debt. But they are also so

906
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: many guys in my leagues. Maybe they're actually they're not

907
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 3: gonna do that.

908
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: And also maybe they don't care either. Maybe it's just

909
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 2: like one doesn't seem to care. They might just be like,

910
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: we just won the World Series. We just made a

911
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 2: fuck ton of money from that. Let's let's do it,

912
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: do it again. And also, by the way, we have

913
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 2: the most popular baseball player ever in the world.

914
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: We print money. It's it's impossible for us to lose.

915
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: You had to, Oh, am, I gonna phrase this? How

916
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: you can phrase it? What are you asking me here?

917
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 3: So you have a pie chart right now, and the

918
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 3: pie charts to have one hundred? What percentage do you

919
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 3: give any team to sign one? So though any team,

920
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 3: I'm saying like one, So though one, so likelihood of

921
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 3: signing is the chart that's the equal one hundred.

922
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: How many teams have? How many slices? Did TikTok about this?

923
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

924
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 2: I think there's probably nine teams that can realistically sign him,

925
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 2: mm hmm. And I think the Mets are by far

926
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 2: the biggest. I think the Mets are like I put

927
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: the Mets at forty percent of that, I put the

928
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: Yankees at thirty five and that leaves it twenty five

929
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: percent for like the Dodgers, the Blue Jays, the Red Sox, the.

930
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 3: Might big questions readings to give those other teams actually

931
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 3: in this race, because I think the Red Sox are speaking,

932
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 3: but I think have the sack.

933
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: Honestly, I think all of them are less than are

934
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: five percent or less. It's just Mets Yankees. I think

935
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: it's just Mets Yankees.

936
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: Truthfully, I think all that this is doing is, if anything,

937
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 2: it's just making Wan Soto more money. That's it, which

938
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: is probably true anyway, he deserves it, Like there's there.

939
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: I don't think there is a world where the Giants

940
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 2: are the top bidder. But I think that's a team

941
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 2: that is going to offer a lot of money, like

942
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 2: what is in a large contract. I just don't think

943
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 2: it's gonna be more than what the Mets Yankees are

944
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 2: gonna offer. I think the Blue Jays are gonna offer

945
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: a ton of money to Wan Sodo, it's not gonna

946
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 2: be more like they're just not gonna be able to

947
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 2: beat the Mets or the Yankees. And I think, truthfully,

948
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: if it does come down to a bidding war. It

949
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 2: is Mets, Yankees, and Dodgers. I think the Dodgers would

950
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 2: have no problem spending fifty million dollars on Wan Soto

951
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 2: if they want to operate at an insanely high cost

952
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 2: for the next ten years, which they might.

953
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: Who knows, yeah they might, they might not care, but

954
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: also again, they can. They can do it.

955
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: I just want to like say that to care everybody

956
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 3: real sick. They can do it, and then just take

957
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 3: to live of shortcuts with the rest of their roster. Yes,

958
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 3: and they'll have like the top of the super team.

959
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 3: Then just hope all the minor leaguers start to take

960
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 3: some steps.

961
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: They'd be the Miami Heat where it was like Lebron,

962
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 2: Dwayne Word, Chris Bosh and then you look at center

963
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, Jamal mcglaur and Juwan Howard are

964
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: getting minutes on this team. Those guys are forty like

965
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: Birdman and Norris Cole. Their point guard was a second

966
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 2: round pick as a rookie. It was a starter, Like

967
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 2: Norris call is putting up.

968
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 3: I think it's like thirty and ten port the record

969
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 3: right now, dude, I saw a video about that. Yeah,

970
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 3: that was I was like Damn Norris cole Hell and Macklemore.

971
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: I think is in China or Turkey or something like that.

972
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 2: Putting up like twenty four points a game. I was like,

973
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 2: I love I love seeing that. I got to steal

974
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 2: that for baseball.

975
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: Something like that. Do we have any more little rumors runs?

976
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: I think that we got We got through the whole list. Yeah,

977
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: we got through the whole list.

978
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of if there's anything else Mets

979
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 2: related that I really wanted to talk about. I think

980
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: not one cool thing I saw in baseball though that

981
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 2: just briefly, I want to bring up the oils.

982
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: Are moving in left field. You saw that?

983
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny, which is funny because everybody in baseball,

984
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 2: including I'm sure all the Orioles hitters, are like, oh

985
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 2: my god, thank god.

986
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: I know there was a tree man Mancastle dropped to

987
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: his knees. Yeah, which that kills by Ryan Malcastle trade

988
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: talks kills him. Yeah, I is in. That's for the

989
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: righty's that are going to be on this team. It's

990
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: for that is specifically for Kobe Meyo. Uh.

991
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: Also, when you hear this Rookie of the year's announced,

992
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 2: Paul Skeins won the National League, Louis Hill in the

993
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: American League. The American League was actually way closer than

994
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: I thought it was gonna be. I thought he was

995
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 2: going to win it easier than he did. A lot

996
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 2: of Colton Cowser's uh first place votes, which was warranted.

997
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 2: I think you'd say it was more of a coin flip.

998
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 2: But I felt like the betting odds were very much

999
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 2: in Louis Heell's favor across the books.

1000
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 3: I think they had the shape of heels year made

1001
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 3: that an opportunity for cows because Casler played pretty well

1002
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 3: at the end, actually had really cold second half two

1003
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 3: But the fact that he was like the best betcher

1004
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 3: in baseball for two months and then was just like,

1005
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1006
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: I give Louis he a lot of credit. Louise.

1007
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 3: He only threw thirty combined innings between twenty twenty one

1008
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. After after you got Tommy John surgery,

1009
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 3: when Garrekole went down, people were shitting themselves of the

1010
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 3: Anchors rotation, and he was their ace for like the

1011
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 3: first style two months of the year. When the Yankees

1012
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 3: are the best team in baseball.

1013
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: He was dog this year.

1014
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 3: The fact that he got through that got two hundred

1015
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 3: fifty en exactly everything he's been through like that, that

1016
00:37:58,640 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 3: that's a second move.

1017
00:37:59,239 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm happy for him.

1018
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 3: And also if you think that Jackson Merrile should have

1019
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 3: been the work of the year for Paul Skans, I'm

1020
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to admit your mouth breather.

1021
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's a that's a tough take to have.

1022
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 2: It's like what Skins is, what like the third best

1023
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 2: pitcher in Major League Baseball probably going.

1024
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: Into next year.

1025
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 3: It's if he's not, I mean, I would say second,

1026
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 3: it's probably what terror schoolball is one school Wheelers Kens, Yeah,

1027
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 3: and that and you could put those guys inn you order.

1028
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 3: I wouldn't really fight you.

1029
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,439
Speaker 1: No, I honestly, Paul skin is probably gonna be number

1030
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 1: one on my list to get some comments.

1031
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 3: But the white fans early fantasy baseball drafts are trending

1032
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 3: right now. It's it's Skans and school ball hard over

1033
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 3: the rest and then a tear break and then Wheeler

1034
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 3: to Grom Yeah.

1035
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: I mean Wheeler we also know is just massively disrespected

1036
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 2: in baseball always every single year, always is He's another

1037
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 2: year He's not gonna win This young where you could

1038
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 2: you could have squinted it and give it to him.

1039
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 5: Uh.

1040
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: Lastly, did you see more Fientos? Yeah, Swaggy at the

1041
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: Nicks game. Yeah, he was swagging at Swaggy V at

1042
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: the Knicks game. And he dyed his hair blonde. He

1043
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 1: went I bleach for a few weeks. It's awesome.

1044
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 3: It's kind of cool that we have this like burging

1045
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 3: superstar like act in our lives. Now we have the

1046
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 3: Mets haven't had a like a breakout like this. I

1047
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 3: feel like since kind of Pete. Yeah, and it was

1048
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 3: a little differ because he's not like super chill and cool,

1049
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 3: goofy like there there was a there was a tweet

1050
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: going around Yankee tweather to on Monday that was like,

1051
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 3: you think Anthony Volpi can ever have a Mark Fiento's

1052
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 3: type breakout season?

1053
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 1: And I was just like, let's fucking go. That's so awesome.

1054
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 2: Oh did I ever say this on the podcast, But

1055
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 2: just just talking more about wan Sota because I love

1056
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 2: him and I want him to be a Mets so

1057
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 2: badly and when he does, gonna be intolerable. Mark Vento's

1058
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 2: turns twenty five in under three weeks. December eleventh. Wan

1059
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 2: Soda he turned twenty five. Mark Viento's in like three weeks.

1060
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 2: Wan Soto turned twenty six October. They're separated by about

1061
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 2: a year, and people, how crazy is that? That's how

1062
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 2: that's how sick.

1063
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: Wan Soto is.

1064
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: Mark Vientos is considered this amazing breakout young player that

1065
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: the Mets just had. Wan Soda is like, yeah, I'm

1066
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 2: a free agent and I have two hundred home runs

1067
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 2: in my career.

1068
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: This keeps being I keep saying over again.

1069
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 3: The crazy thing about so though, like the a Rod

1070
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 3: is the only other free agent this age ever, Like

1071
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 3: that's actually a good free agent because guys just don't

1072
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 3: come up when they're eighteen, and usually if they do,

1073
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 3: their team signed like to ten year deals like Jackson Schorio. Yeah,

1074
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 3: like this this is an incredibly rare thing and it

1075
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 3: has to be taken incredibly seriously for that reason.

1076
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Harper, I guess is also the other

1077
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 2: guy too that was close to it, right, because Harper

1078
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 2: became a free agent at I think.

1079
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: Him and Micheller were both your twenty seven or twenty eight.

1080
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, Harper was twenty six. That was his

1081
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: twenty six year old season he became a free agent.

1082
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, okay, but this was so this was twenty

1083
