2
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: of the Mets Up Podcast. New Year's episode, last one

3
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: of the year. If you're seeing it after New Year's,

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: Corbyn byrn signed a contract with the Dimbacks. Telling you

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: about that because I thought the met should have been

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: a little more involved. To Askar Hernandez. We almost signed

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: him apparently that we're interested in him. Got Sham and

00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,480

Speaker 3: out in the order we put them out in because

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 3: before we went back to our parents Christmas, we're like,

29
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna record a top Prospects episode, so try.

30
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: To you guys.

31
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: Live interaction on that got great views. Just we love

32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: doing the prospect stuff. We know you guys love doing

33
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: the prospect stuff. Somebody's gonna be really consistent with the

34
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: channel and the and the podcast is coming season. Gonna

35
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: have some guest talking about prospect stuff soon too, definitely

36
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: as the winter free agency period starts to die down

37
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: the next month or so. And then we recorded an

38
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: episode that we put out and then we had to

39
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 3: stop Becauseheum and I saw it too in the morning.

40
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: Then we do that. We don't talk about Shanmanaia next one.

41
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: So we haven't really talked since like the fallout of

42
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 3: SHANM and I and then seeing all this stuff with Pelaus.

43
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: The last couple of days. But it was a really

44
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: nice holiday, really really really really wonderful time over this break.

45
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it was good, and we did get a

46
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: little bit more like you said on that Sean Mania

47
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: contract situation, we got the Furrals. We got the Furrals.

48
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: Love to hear that. What exactly were they? I think

49
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: it's like twenty million right over the three years is

50
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: gonna be deferred.

51
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: I think about three million a year totally deferred. So

52
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: it comes down to basically like a I think it

53
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: was like someone said, a three year, fifty eight million dollars.

54
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: I'll double check it right now, but he seems like

55
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: Sean and I have sign a very friendly contract for

56
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: the Mets, which is a really really nice thing a

57
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: team that's trying to stockpile as much talent as possible

58
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 3: win a championship in the next few years.

59
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and could be used for some extra pieces. We

60
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: heard the taoscar Hernandez rumor he signed a three year,

61
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: thirty six million dollar contract with the Dodgers during the

62
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: holiday break, and apparently the Mets were interested. I think

63
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: it was Will Salmon or one of those guys, put

64
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: out that the Mets offered him a two year deal

65
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: similar aav to Taoscar Hernandez, and that was kind of

66
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: a bit of a surprise. I don't think anybody really

67
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: had down there, Bengo card that the Mets were gonna

68
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: go after Taoscar obviously a good player, obviously good hitter.

69
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: It makes sense, like I can see the thought process there.

70
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: But now that leads Mets fans to thinking, one, is

71
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: Pete maybe not as sure to come back as we

72
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: thought he was. Are the Mets maybe not going to

73
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: be as aggressive as we thought that it would be

74
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: with Pete Alonzo for him to come back. And then three,

75
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: who's the guy to fill this in? Because they're clearly

76
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: after another bat. It looks like and if it's not

77
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: they Oscar and it maybe isn't Pete Alonzo, who could

78
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: that be a lot of a lot of questions that

79
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: need to be answered now for the Mets.

80
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: I think he's just very obvious looking at this team,

81
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: even with so though that they need another bat, like

82
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 3: there's just no doubt about it. It's like I meant,

83
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: I think everyone's assuming. I think you and I also too,

84
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: maybe wrongfully at times, that that bat still will be

85
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: Pete Alonzo. But there's no guarantee, and they were like,

86
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: we're all kind of all these things are meshing together

87
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 3: into the same conversation because the Pete stuff kind of

88
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: hit like a couple of different fever pitches over the

89
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: last week where allegedly the Mets offered him a three year,

90
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: ninety million dollars deal and apparently it came back and

91
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: by Eric Bierga and Martinez said that also something was

92
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: in that range was probably offered, so it was it

93
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: was half cooperated, and apparently with the snapback was that

94
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: they're still looking for something one hundred and seventy five

95
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: million total value, which still to me seems completely insane.

96
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: And then I got James's scoops and there's James source

97
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: right here where I had full confirmation across some dolls

98
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: is going to Tampa.

99
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: Apparently he just lives there.

100
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: But it happened to the same night as all these rumors,

101
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: and he was flying commercial from Laguarirei Tampa Bay late

102
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: the nights. I was like, I don't know why that

103
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: would be happening. Seems like a sudden thing. It was weird,

104
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: but it just seemed like there was a lot of

105
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: motion in one shot. And then now it's dissipated the

106
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: last few days. So I do feel like there was

107
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: a bit of a push from the Mets to get

108
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: Pete too again. The deal they seemingly have always wanted

109
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: to get him on, which is short term, high aav

110
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: what we've been talking about for a very long time,

111
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: and him and Boris are still just like, no, that's

112
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: not what we want.

113
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: We want to go for it.

114
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: And I do think that we're getting to a point

115
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 3: with Pete and Scott Boris where I think they might

116
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: be missing.

117
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: The big picture here in a bit of a way.

118
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: You think, if Pete and Scott Boris think he's getting

119
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five to two hundred million dollars,

120
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: he'll never play baseball again. He will never play baseball

121
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: professional baseball for any team in the United States ever again.

122
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: In the entire world. There's no one who is going

123
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: to pay him one hundred and seventy five million. We've

124
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: been talking about like in a perfect world where everyone's happy.

125
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: It may not be the best baseball decision long term

126
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: for the Mets, but we've said, like that five T

127
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: for Pete five one thirty whatever it is, like we

128
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: would be like as fans love that Pete, I'm sure

129
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 1: should be happy, But that's fifty million off the bottom

130
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: of what they're saying, which is absurd. I don't know

131
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: what contract they think that Pete's gonna get. Where do

132
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: I think that's seven for one seventy five because there's

133
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: no team in their right mind besides maybe the Angels

134
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: because they're stupid, and maybe the Rockies, but now the

135
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: NL West is really impossible to win in so I

136
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: don't know who in the right mind would ever be

137
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: able to pay Pete Alonzo that kind of money, and

138
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: it would make sense.

139
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 3: It's also not a great thing for Pete Alonzo when

140
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: someone like Tiaoskcar Hernandez, who is not the first baseman,

141
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: he's mostly a DS or a bad corner outfielder.

142
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: But a lot of people are get to Peae.

143
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: It's probably mostly dh are a bad first baseman, and

144
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: he in terms of production for the last two seasons

145
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 3: similarly not that much different than Pete Alonzo. Really not

146
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 3: as different as you would feel deep in your heart.

147
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: He's He's even stole tall basels there. Pie's definitely going

148
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: to him more home runs than Taioskar. Pete has waity

149
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 3: more of a power ceiling, and Pete's two years.

150
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: Young in Taioskar.

151
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: But three for sixty six for a right handed power

152
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: bat that does and give you any defensive value, That

153
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: to me is not great for Pete's market. That tells

154
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: me that three for ninety is an awesome deal for

155
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: pi Alonzo. And the other thing about p Alonzo signing

156
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 3: that three for ninety deal is that if you were

157
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: to sign that deal that does that's not the end

158
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: of his career. It's not the end of his earning potential.

159
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 3: I understand that that this is theoretically, and this has

160
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: been the whole thing with his whole Pee conundrum, the

161
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: last chance for him to get the monster contract.

162
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with that. I think it totally is.

163
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: Even if that ship may have sailed, this is the

164
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 3: last stand it even possibly get something like that unless

165
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: in that three for ninety deal there's a one year

166
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 3: opt out and pi Alonzo can spend one hundred and

167
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: sixty two games hitting either directly in front of or

168
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: directly behind want So though and either always have a

169
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: guy in first base when he hits, or always have

170
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 3: to pitch your scared shitless for the guy hitting behind him,

171
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 3: which we saw from all the Yankees guys this year.

172
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: It's really good to hit next to one solo in

173
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 3: the line, but it helps you have a really good season.

174
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: So then maybe you could have your one chance after

175
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: a one year opt out next year to sign even

176
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 3: possibly a five year deal. But the other side of

177
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: it two, let's say Pete that gets the three for

178
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: ninety doesn't want to opt out, he spends three for ninety.

179
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 1: With the Mets.

180
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: There's nothing that's ever going to stop Pee Alonzo from

181
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 3: continuing to chop off two for forties and one for

182
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 3: twenties in perpetuity, as long as he doesn't have like

183
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: any horrible debilitating injury or fall off a cliff so

184
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 3: fast that it makes everyone's head spin. Jack Peterson just

185
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: got one for twenty. Michael govindfourd though got a one

186
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: for seventeen. I mean again, those guys are both lefties,

187
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: slightly different. Michael fourth though missed entire year with injury

188
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: two years ago, really hasn't been good since. Like Jack

189
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: Peterson hasn't really gotten up or down in value the

190
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: last few years, despite keep getting older and never having

191
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: seialing with Pete Alonso like you like Carlos Santanan's later there,

192
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: he's just got a deal for what mili almost twenty

193
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: million eavy. So even if Pete is a three for

194
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: ninety guy and then after that plays three more seasons

195
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: for twenty million dollars, that comes out to what a

196
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: six for one fifty when it's all said and done.

197
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: I know it's not as guaranteed as they'd probably want

198
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: to be name of the line and not have to

199
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: worry about anything, But the six for one fifty, that's

200
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: a contract that I feel like, right now with one

201
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: hundred percent end this ontire conundrum. And that's a contract

202
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: that's really similar to one that Pee Alonzo wrongfully turned

203
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 3: down a year ago. So I think it's just it.

204
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is the Scott Boris white.

205
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: This is what he does, is how he kind of

206
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: winds up screwing a lot of free agents in the

207
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 3: middle class. It seems to me like there's these Pete.

208
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: These sides are very far apart. I'm not sure if

209
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: they have to be.

210
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that makes me think maybe the

211
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: three for ninety isn't actually that real, because Borish just

212
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: did these contracts with Blake Snell and with Matt Chapman,

213
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: and it both got those guys paid even more than

214
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: they were going to last offseason. So it's like almost

215
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: in a weird spot where it's like, does he not

216
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: believe in Pete either being able to play better? And like,

217
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: do we gotta cash you now because you've got nothing

218
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: left after this? Like it's it's very, very weird, and

219
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: it's leading me to I still think Pete's gonna be

220
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: a Met at the end of the day. It just

221
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: it makes too much sense. And I don't even believe

222
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: these bullshit giant rumors either, like I until there's more

223
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: heat behind them, I'm just gonna kind of take them

224
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: as a little bit of propaganda, a little bit of

225
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: try to make the Mets scared. But I there is

226
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: a more creeping up feeling in my body that this

227
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: is gonna end ugly for the Mets and pee Alnzo, well,

228
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: I think it's.

229
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: No matter what, we're in a situation where it is

230
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: ugly in general, Like this is a nuggly situation. You

231
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: talked about the Snell and Chatman contracts. Those were both

232
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 3: signed in fucking March last year. Yeah, like We're nowhere

233
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: near that. It's still December, Like we have months and

234
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: months before Boris and Beforeest gets into that range where

235
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: he's like, let's sign pillow deals. I don't think Boris

236
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: thinks about pillow deals until it's a weakest spring training

237
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: games that are played. And I don't think the Mets

238
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: are in situation where they might be super willing to

239
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: wait this out. And also that's another reason why I

240
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 3: think that the Oscar rumor kind of came out when

241
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: it did, like, oh, the Mets looking for another right

242
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: handed bet non accent that I came out the day after.

243
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 3: Apparently the Pilanzo contract kind of went by the wayside.

244
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 3: The whole thing, to me just feels like it's all

245
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: a it's all a game of posturing, is Leverage's a

246
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: whole It's a whole, giant, just mess. And I do

247
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: think part of it, I don't know, like you said,

248
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: if that three for ninety is real, if it's real,

249
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: or if it's fake. There's probably a part of the

250
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: Plonzo that feels like it's a slap in the face,

251
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: which is so there's what he's done for this team,

252
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: how long he's been here, kind of how the fact

253
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 3: that and that's also where it's coming from, like this

254
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 3: massive point of sentimentality from the Mets fans that super

255
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: duper want him back. People are like, he has to

256
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: retire met He's one of the best homegrown power hitters

257
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 3: in the history of the franchise. So because you're not

258
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: able to develop power hitters in the nineties and two thousands,

259
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 3: you have to get Planzo a sentimental sentimentality contract. Now,

260
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: that's stupid, doesn't make any fucking sense. You can't compare

261
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: pi Alonzo to players from the fucking seventies. You compare

262
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: him to the market right now. And the market right

263
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: now is his first baseman. Aren't that valuable? Nate Low

264
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 3: gets traded for a middle reliever last year, Heno ra

265
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: in the forest. We know he has great stelf. This

266
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: is a Robber Garcia podcast, always has been. But that's

267
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 3: just that that seems to be like a market in

268
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 3: efficiency in baseball right now. So David Seerns the Mets,

269
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 3: as they do, are going take advantage of it. We're

270
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: pel Lonzo and Scott Bors don't want to be taking

271
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: advantage of and that's that's not a good not a

272
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: good mix, right now, Yeah.

273
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean I want I want Pete back so badly,

274
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: Like I'm with those fans of like, yes, I would

275
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: love to see Pete be a Met as long as

276
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: he physically can play good baseball, Like I would love

277
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: that because Pete is the man. Pete has been the man.

278
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: He's at so many home runs for this franchise and

279
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: even like the playoff run that was pretty sick what

280
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: he did for us. But it's got to be at

281
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: the right price, and the price tag that he's putting

282
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: out there right now is insane. It's absolutely insane. I'm

283
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: with you six for one, fifty sign shake hands whatever.

284
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: If it ages like milk and you're four, five and six,

285
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: I will take that risk. It's not my fucking money.

286
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't care. But that to me is like the max,

287
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: the physical the physical max the Mets can and should

288
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: ever go. And even then they're bending the knee a

289
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: little bit to Peede Alonzo and the fan base almost

290
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: of like a let's just keep everybody happy move.

291
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: That for me feels like again it's way too high.

292
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 3: That to me just feels like what Pete Lonzo should

293
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 3: be envisioning for himself. If the three for ninety comes

294
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 3: to fruition. Yes again, pee Alonzo, He'll get twenty million

295
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: dollars forever for as long as he's breeding in, hearts

296
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: beating and the lakes still work. Yeah, it doesn't matter,

297
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: like Jack Peterson is still getting that much money every

298
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: single year. Like again, Lefty different, But you can do

299
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: that like that, that's something that's possible. And then again

300
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 3: got to ask Carnandez he needed to take a few

301
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 3: years to pick up his value in the middle of

302
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 3: it when he had a bunch of really good years

303
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: in a row. And now at the end of to

304
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: day's just signing back with the Dodgers. So whether or

305
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 3: not Domes are serious about him or not, no matter what,

306
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: this team is very aware they need a bat or

307
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 3: two to go into the season, intend to compete.

308
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: I think they will get I think they will get them.

309
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: I just I don't know.

310
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 3: My confidence level Pilanso over the last week probably went

311
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 3: from eighty percent to sixty five percent.

312
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean with all the yeah, I think that's fair.

313
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: I think that's fair sixty five percent. I definitely feel

314
00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: less confident now.

315
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, less competent, but still there's still no better option

316
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: for Pete or for the Mets than each other, and

317
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: still he stills the fun qualifying offer attached to him.

318
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: And it's kind of the Giants and I don't think

319
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose a draft pick over Pete Alonso like

320
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: that rumor came out, and it conceptually makes sense. I

321
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: also don't think that's a good place for Pete to hit.

322
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: That doesn't really make any sense for me there either.

323
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. That's first of all, it's a

324
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: horrible place for Pete to hit.

325
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 3: But I think conceptually they are the only team that

326
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 3: actually would do to the new Buster posey Giants seems

327
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 3: like they're going for their home runs and RBIs, which

328
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 3: they might need a hard change inside that building after

329
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: the last few years, or maybe runs are selling how

330
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: much Buster Pose he's taking in the day, and then

331
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: the information and all that stuff. But Pee Alonzo's power

332
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 3: alley would play horrifically in Giants Park. He's a big

333
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: right center field hitter, that's where he has lives power.

334
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: He will lose all of those home runs there, completely,

335
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 3: all of them. They will all become doubles. But maybe

336
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: he'll get me squeak out of a few triples, but

337
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 3: that's just not a place for pe Alonzo to be successful.

338
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 3: Every single year Pete's career except for twenty twenty one,

339
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: he would have had less home runs in San Francisco

340
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 3: than he would have had playing his games as a

341
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: met Even in though fifty three home run year, it

342
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 3: would have been down to forty six twenty twenty one.

343
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 3: For some reason he would have had he would have

344
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: had two more in San Francisco.

345
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: Don't know why. I guess he pulled the boll Moore

346
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: that year.

347
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty two would have been from forty one to

348
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 3: thirty eight, twenty twenty three forty six to thirty eight,

349
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: and twenty twenty four thirty eight to thirty three. Pe

350
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 3: longs is a thirty three home run, hither you lose

351
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 3: a lot of that value, tons of that value, But

352
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: all of.

353
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: A sudden, he doesn't get that next contract looking as

354
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: good if he hits thirty three.

355
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: But then he might get a five year deal from them,

356
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 3: So it might just be all he actually wants, which

357
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: I could see that being the case for him at

358
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: Boris right now. I just if there's a team who

359
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: I think is gonna get a little silly and give

360
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 3: Pilanzo the big deal. The giants are the one I

361
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 3: would be concerned about. Yeah, I also just don't know

362
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 3: if that's going to happen. Pete also, Pete's from Florida,

363
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: New York and Florida. That's really easy. Yeah, like that,

364
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: that's an easy flight, easy way home. You can live

365
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 3: in both those places very comfortably. Serraisco is really far away.

366
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 3: It's like, it's just it's a big lifestyle adjustment.

367
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: To the city. Pete and the family might not clash

368
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: well with either. I don't know about that, And if

369
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: it's a good fit.

370
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: It's just the whole the whole thing, I just don't

371
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 3: I don't know. I see them as the only one

372
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 3: that could possibly do, but I still don't see that

373
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 3: as like a legitimate, true possibility until there's more smoke.

374
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: It's I think it's all posturing for both sides. I

375
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: think Pete Boris and the Mets no, it's only each other.

376
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 3: Where the last two people to dance right now, we

377
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 3: don't dance.

378
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: With each other. I don't know if we're dancing with anybody.

379
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: So we have to do this.

380
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: Just making eyes of each other. You're gonna make eyes

381
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: and me all night. You're gonna come say something that's

382
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: kind of how it feels. That being said, now that

383
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: you know the Planzo rumors are coming out, Cordon Burns

384
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: has signed all eyes or on if Jesse Winker returns,

385
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: as we know, who could be that extra bat that

386
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: the Mets go after. Like you know a lot of

387
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: Mets fans are clamoring for Jesse Winker. I like them.

388
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of Anthony Santander too being thrown around,

389
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: and to me, I know, we spoke about it earlier

390
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: in the offseason. I'm gonna have two takes. One initial

391
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: feeling is like whatever for Santander, Like, that's not the

392
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: guy I want to give a long term contract to.

393
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: If he wants to sign a taoscar contract, sure, why not.

394
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: I think that's totally in play. But I don't know

395
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: if that's what he's looking for too. Is this the

396
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: weird free agent that we're kind of just like we're

397
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: looking past for no reason kind of with Santander.

398
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: I think both those are true.

399
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: One thing I love about Santandre that he gives the

400
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: Mets is that he is a switch hitter with power.

401
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 3: I think this Mets team could just a switch hither

402
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 3: power hit in the middle of this lineup I think

403
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: would really really transcend it. We're pretty balanced right now,

404
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: so having him and Pete comes in, it will probably

405
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: be a little bit right handed heavy. Again, Santan Dere

406
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 3: kind of marries the whole thing together and that would

407
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: be great. But if he again, if he's a guy

408
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 3: that wants four or five years, he could quite literally

409
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: kick rocks. Like Anthony Santon. There is a career three

410
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: h seven on base percentage guy who has a horrible

411
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: chase rate and he's just turned thirty like and he

412
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: doesn't play the field.

413
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: That to me is just it's a true. It's true

414
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: recipe for disaster played.

415
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: In Baltimore the last couple of years two, which is

416
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: a hitters heaven out.

417
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: It's not so much a hitter asaven anymore. Let's be real,

418
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: if when you're.

419
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: A left handed hitter, it is who gives a shit

420
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: about the as alrighty, he takes.

421
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: A third of his at bats, righty, I'm saying he

422
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: still is his right handed hitter. Sometimes.

423
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: I don't think the I don't think the Baltimore thing

424
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: is is super super duper meaningful as it currently stands,

425
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: so I think again, I don't think Antiy Santa there

426
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 3: are forty four horme runs next year. I'm pretty confident

427
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 3: unless he signed the deal with the Red Sox with

428
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: the Yankees, who's not gonna sign a deal with the

429
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 3: reds with the failer least, wh's not gonna sign a

430
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: deal with I think there's Anthony Santon. There is never

431
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: going to get to forty home runs. Again, I think

432
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 3: that's fair. So I think you're looking at a thirty

433
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: home run bat who's gonna have like a three fifteen

434
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 3: on base percentage and not give you good defense. To me,

435
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 3: that's not that much different than Jesse Winker. You're gonna

436
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: be able to sign for one year and nine million

437
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: dollars in the middle of March, Who's gonna be worth

438
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: literally nothing, who I'm sure has taken like nine total

439
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: calls his entire winter for maybe the same three teams.

440
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: Like he's just not like there's there's different classes of

441
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: free agent Jesse Winker. Jesse Winker's time of the market

442
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: has not exactly come yet. He's even behind like where

443
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: Jock Peterson is.

444
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: But sants on there.

445
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 3: I think it's fun and sexy, like for the forty

446
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 3: four homers last year are great A fourteen ops sure,

447
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: but seeing that on base percentage even his career year

448
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: be barely above three hundred, Like that's something.

449
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: Where you signed for a three year deal.

450
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: The third year you're like it, this sucks me about

451
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: the Anthony Stuns out there taking up one of these spots,

452
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: like that would be the Starling Marte all over again.

453
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I we're.

454
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: About to get rid of that.

455
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: Yes, we are about the error of that, and I

456
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: think we got to avoid. Also another thing that came

457
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: up with the Tioscar stuff too, and I think Tim

458
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: Healy put it out was about were they considering Tioskar

459
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: in the outfield to leave the DH spots still open

460
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: and moving Nemo to center, which I thought was super

461
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: interesting too. I don't think that makes any sense, but

462
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting.

463
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: I think that was just him getting after it with

464
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 2: a take.

465
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 3: I don't think the Oscar Cisco was one of the

466
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 3: worst outfielders a base for Yeah, and the Dodgers didn't

467
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: have a great defensive outfield anyway, so it didn't wasn't

468
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 3: like he had a lot of help flanking him.

469
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: But he's just not. He's not a very good outfield

470
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 2: I think the Oscar will just be. It's also bizarrely

471
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: he's not a good outfielder because he's still not that

472
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 2: old and he's like legitimately fastly.

473
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just yeah, he's just he's just simply a

474
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: butcher out there, and he's another guy like he's not

475
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 3: him and sants On dere have similar strength and similar weaknesses,

476
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: but they kind of blend together a lot, where Santan

477
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: there will expand his zone, where Hioscar's just daddy hacks,

478
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: like he doesn't chase as much, but he'll swing and

479
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: miss a lot. Yeah, and the task is two years older,

480
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 3: but the Oscar was also the same assouts on there,

481
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 3: hanging out at like three oh five to three ten

482
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: on base percentage. Until last year he was hitting the

483
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: middle of the fucking Dodgers lineup, a multiple Hall of Famers.

484
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 3: Then he then everything looks good. So it's good for

485
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 3: probably him in his career. His his standing that he's

486
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: going to be back with the Dodgers. But I don't

487
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 3: think Anthony Satson there is this game breaking free agent

488
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 3: that maybe others. Dude, I don't know if he's even

489
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 3: a good this Mets team besides the twitch hitting thing,

490
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: which is really unique and valuable. But if it's more

491
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: than two year deal again he can kick Rocks.

492
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you totally on that. All right, let's

493
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: talk about the other free Asian deal real quickly that

494
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: was signed during the holiday season. Corbyn Burns A bit

495
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: of a shock, bit of a surprise, was it?

496
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: Two shock?

497
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: As soon as we came back from the bar in Grantford,

498
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: I get a notification from Jeff Passon Cordin Burns Arizona

499
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: dineback six years, two hundred and ten million dollars thirty

500
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: five million dollar aav opt out after two years. I

501
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: think probably every Mets fan in the world had the

502
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: same reaction of we should have done that would have

503
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: taken that deal in a heartbeat. Context being that the

504
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: Giants and Blue Jays, which hilarious blue Jays lose again.

505
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: Hate to see that for that fan base they missed again.

506
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: And the reason that he didn't sign with them, even

507
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: though they gave a higher offer was because of the

508
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: the tax he was concerned about and it ends up

509
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: being more in Arizona. He also lives in Arizona. His

510
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: family's in Arizona, so it's kind of a little bit

511
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: of a homecoming for him as well, even though he

512
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: grew up in California. At that price, I would have

513
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: done it as the Mets, but he wouldn't have taken it.

514
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: I think we can just we can make those two statements.

515
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 3: No that at that exact price, I would have loved

516
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: him to be on the Hut. In the fact that it's

517
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 3: only a six year deal, You're only getting Cordon Burns

518
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: from ages thirty to thirty six.

519
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

520
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 3: You might you might not. There's a good chance you

521
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: don't even have really that much fall off. Like there's

522
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 3: a pretty good chance that Corden Burns the entire length

523
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 3: of this contract one of the thirty best starting pitchers

524
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 3: in baseball legitimately, and if he's really good for the

525
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: next two years, he just takes the opt out. You

526
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: just got Cordon Burns for two years seventy million dollars,

527
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 3: which is like the best thing I could ever. That's

528
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: literally block sel from I think it's exactly what I

529
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 3: said the Messhure have offered them. It's this guy stretched

530
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: into March. He's just I think too much muzzling has

531
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: happened with Corden Burns in the media, and it's just

532
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 3: it's too easy to see. They're like, oh my god,

533
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: his career has fallen sharply every year. I know that's true,

534
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 3: and Cordon Burns is not going to be the best

535
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: pitcher in baseball probably ever again his career. He's awesome though,

536
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: He's so good, and I don't think there was another

537
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: team in baseball. Well, again, the Mets were never involved,

538
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: and I trust David Searns, who was very on top

539
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: of Cordon Burns during his entire breakout, the fact the

540
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 3: Mets were never involved, So I give my two cents

541
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 3: to that. I don't think there was any team in

542
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: baseball whose status is elevated for the twenty twenty five

543
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 3: season with the addition of Corpin Burns more than the Mets,

544
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 3: and that's why I kind of wish they would have

545
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 3: been a little bit more involved. Again, it seems like

546
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: from the beginning to the end, they were never even

547
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 3: remotely or close to being involved. So I guess can't

548
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 3: be mad about missing something that they never even considered

549
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: remotely for one second.

550
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again I caution all Mets fans Just because

551
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: you don't have an ACE or a pro typical ace

552
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: on opening Day doesn't mean the Mets can't get an

553
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: ACE or a pro typical ace at some point during

554
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: the season. We know there are going to be pitchers available.

555
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: It's super sexy to win the World Series on March

556
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: twenty eighth and have the best roster in baseball. We

557
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: know how much people love to do that. But at

558
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's about what that roster

559
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: look like at the end of the year. If the

560
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: Mets go need pitching, I do believe at some point

561
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: during the season they will go make those acquisitions everybody

562
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: else on the market available. Truth through from the pitching side,

563
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't think we should touch with a ten foot pole,

564
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: probably right.

565
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I still love Nick paved about I don't

566
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 3: think the Mets are going to do that. Like I

567
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 3: just I'm getting off in taskar NaN's a contracts makes

568
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: me think the Mets again either fully pop plans or

569
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: just don't really care that much about the QO, Like

570
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 3: our draft pick is moving back ten spots anyway, like

571
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 3: we've really signed one, I will know. I think that

572
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 3: if you sign more it doesn't affect the Ifa as much,

573
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: but it will still affect that like losing the picks,

574
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 3: and if you get if you get the two qualifying off,

575
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 3: your guys get to the third for free. So maybe

576
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 3: that's all sudden they consider. But it just seems like

577
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 3: the Mets and Davidson has been pretty open about this.

578
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 3: It seems like they're pretty done with the pitching after

579
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: acquiring Sean and Iya, with the exception of Roki Sasaki,

580
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: who were in the mix for but still certain long shots.

581
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: I think the only thing is that I could I

582
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 3: could still see a surprising trade happened with the Mets

583
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: for a pitcher. I could definitely still see that, whether

584
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 3: it happens now, whether it happens in June, but it

585
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 3: happens in July. I don't know if the trade deadlines

586
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: like August third this year, so I guess technically, whether

587
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 3: it happens in August, the Diamondbacks are certainly going to

588
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: trade a starting pitcher now. I was about to bring up,

589
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 3: it's definitely going to happen. I don't know who's going

590
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 3: to be. It really can kind of only be Gallon

591
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 3: or Jordan Montgomery, but it's this is a very creative

592
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: team to create the front office, and they have still

593
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: plenty of holes all over their team, So I wonder

594
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 3: what they're going to do the combat.

595
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: That they might be interested in like Bady.

596
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, not for not straight up for Zach Allen, of course,

597
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: not straight up, but for a team that definitely is

598
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: like a couple of major league pieces away on their

599
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: actual major league roster, Brett Bady could be could be

600
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of a help for that team if

601
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: he's the Brett Baty we think he can be.

602
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 3: He also, I mean, I don't know if he's a

603
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 3: fit for that team right now in the dime on

604
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 3: roster resources Diamondbacks opening day third third Basemanno Suarez, who

605
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 3: wass awesome last year. By look, he's only signed for

606
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 3: one more year and right now they're starting DHS penciled

607
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 3: in as Peven Smith, which legend.

608
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: Diamond Backs fans that we're friends with. We know that

609
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: people are not fond of Paven Smith out in Arizona

610
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: as an everyday player.

611
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 3: I will tell you Peven Smith had had in August

612
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: to remember this past season, but three homes in the

613
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: game and Hen Suarez defense definitely has oscillated in the

614
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: course of his career, so it could go up and down.

615
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 2: But again, I don't know who's taking Brett Bady.

616
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 3: I think I think it's still a good chance he's

617
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 3: just on the mess roster on opening Day more likely

618
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 3: than not.

619
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but.

620
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 3: This Diamondbacks team really, really really needs bodies. Their bench

621
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: right now with Peven Smith in the starting line up

622
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 3: is Blaize, Alexander tim Tawa who who I don't know

623
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: how many players in professional baseball I don't know their names.

624
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 3: I've never hit the top infield or outfielder, and Alec Thomas,

625
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 3: who's still a good player in the back of outfielders.

626
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: They could probably use two more bats on this team,

627
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 3: and they still have what i'd call like a mid

628
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: to a mid to growing bullpens. They just I don't

629
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 3: know what they're going to do. I don't know how

630
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 3: they're gonna figure this out, but they are definitely going

631
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: to trade one of these guys. It might not be

632
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 3: to the Mets for sure, because they're still Jordan Lawler

633
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 3: two is probably gonna break camp with the team be

634
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 3: a guy all year, and they still Ryan Nelson, who's

635
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 3: their seventh star right now. Who if they if they

636
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 3: don't like Ryan Nelson. I love Ryan Nelson. Also, I

637
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 3: think they're still definitely some upside of Brandon five. Get

638
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: them out of that divisions, one of the hardest divisions

639
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 3: to pitches in baseball. If they were good, if they're

640
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 3: gonna trade any of these guys. I hope there's some

641
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 3: conversations being had, and I think there will be. I

642
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 3: just I just still don't know exactly after the Mania

643
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 3: contract where the Mets fitted to them.

644
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, all I know is I just don't want it

645
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: to be Jordan Montgomery. That's the only guy I don't want.

646
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: I would take him a second, you would Why not?

647
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 2: Could be great with the Mets three three sixty uput

648
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 2: one hundred sixty five minutes.

649
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: Skill convinced me when that conversation eventually happens, because I'm

650
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: sure that rumor will start soon, and because.

651
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: Right now with the Mets, like I'm comfortable, like and

652
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: I say that like through gritted teeth, comfortable with our rotation.

653
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: But still I think there's a question mark of code

654
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 3: saying his health. I think if I think I love

655
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 3: what Sean and I did last year, but I think

656
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 3: for all tens of purposes, we're pencing him in for

657
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 3: like a three six sixty innings, which is great, awesome,

658
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 3: need that mantas Peterson Holmes. While we'd like them all,

659
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: there's still certain question marks. And then it's Blackburn and McGill.

660
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: So like right now it's it's I think Griffin Canning.

661
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 3: It's a real it's a real chunk of like four

662
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 3: through six starts and we could really use another like

663
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 3: two or three to tie the whole thing together.

664
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 2: I don't know.

665
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 3: It's it's bizarre, but I still think it's a playoff

666
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 3: team right now with one more bat, but more would

667
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: not hurt.

668
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: While I'm looking up some reviews because we haven't read

669
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: any reviews and we figured last episode that you might

670
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: as well do it. What was going on with Steve

671
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: Cones Twitter? Because I kind of.

672
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,040

679
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 3: picture or or or a cover image, and it was.

680
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 3: It was a weird situation. People were like, oh my god,

681

Speaker 3: Steve Conach Twitter's gone. What was this mean for p Alonzo?

682

Speaker 2: Nothing?

683
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,479
Speaker 3: Clearly, nothing at all, but just just another weird thing

684
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 3: to happen to Mets. I'm sure that I don't know.

685
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's some legal issue that that Steve Conen

686
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 3: just couldn't have that Twitter open right now, or maybe

687
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 3: he actually got hacked and they were able to able

688
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 3: to stop the hacker before things got like too too

689
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 3: horrible a level.

690
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, Steve coms Twitter was hacked.

691
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: It was It was a good thing to think about

692
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 3: for twenty minutes on like earlier this week.

693
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we got a couple of reviews. Shall

694
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,320

695
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: I read him out.

696
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: M's start with the heater. Yeah, poor quality, one star

697
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: rich Ballentine. Why do you guys need to courage so much?

698
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: It's a it's a common complaint. I'm sorry, it's just

699
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. It's it's words, You'll be okay,

700
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: Oh what do you got?

00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: Jimmy Carter has passed away? Damn r P wow A

702
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 3: right P Jimmy Carter. I think he was in the

703
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: hospice for almost two full years.

704
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: I want to say he's he's kind of been on

705
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: his last legs for a minute.

706
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, a long time. There's some peace, Jimmy Carter.

707
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: Some peace, Jimmy Carter. Awesome analysis from te Hearn seven

708
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: point eight. You guys provide the best data and now

709
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: says great job breaking down Clay Holmes, appreciate that. And

710
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: then our boy Gavin Gavin left us another paragraph here.

711
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: I think he's not this like three.

712
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: Hey, the shout out, Gavin. We appreciate you. Gavin. Please

713
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: read my review at the end. That's pretty good. When

714
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: you're you gonna start to sell merch, well, hold on.

715
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: We both agree that bench has potential. When you said

716
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: that Conforido has an amazing tenure with the Mets, you

717
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: lost me there. His career average with the Mets was

718
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: two fifty five. Cook, Gavin, that sentence alone. You listen

719
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: to this podcast, you know that's not the most important thing.

720
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: That's also a pretty decent average. We'll say that he

721
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: will not be in the Mets Hall of Fame. He

722
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: will also not get his number retired. I mean that's true.

723
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: But definitely not.

724
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: You could still be good with a team and not

725
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: get your number retired. He got a lot of hype,

726
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: but he did not always live up to it at times.

727
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: He was a big whiff when he was up to bat.

728
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: Most times at Bessie's an average player. I cannot let

729
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: you say, like say stuff like this. Come on, man,

730
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: I feel like people have a really bizarre remembrance of

731
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: Michael CONFORDO. He was awesome.

732
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Michael ford with the mess is one tenty five

733
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 3: WRC plus cabin over eight hundred ops.

734
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: It's really good baseball player. A fifteen ops.

735
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: He'd be what third best hitter on the Mets right now?

736
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 3: I mean a fourth definitely Marc Cianto's slamn Michael CONFORDA.

737
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying as a lifetime that.

738
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 3: Michael confortay him that Michael twenty sixteen, Michael Conford though,

739
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen Mile con four though, and twenty twenty four

740
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: Mark Fianto's That would be like the young core.

741
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: We've always dreamed about having together for the Mets. That'd

742
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 2: be perfect. Now, Michael four was a good bad Yeah.

743
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: I guess you just had to be there.

744
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't know Gavin might Gavin might be a little

745
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: bit younger than us two, so the memories might not

746
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: really hit the same way With Michael CONFORDO, I don't know.

747
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. Twenty nineteen, my cold fourth it

748
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 2: was fucking awesome too.

749
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean who wasn't in twenty nineteen. J D.

750
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: Davis was awesome in twenty nineteen.

751
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: I mean still it was still.

752
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 3: It was still thirty homes, two sixty average and what

753
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 3: thirty percent of the gaverage is all. That's why it

754
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 3: was WRC plus for twenty nineteen year There it is.

755
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: Anything else here. When we wrap up, it's a lot

756
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: end of the year you gotta get in New Year's resolution.

757
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: You want to tell the people I have' thought about

758
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: the resolutions.

759
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm way to focused on high to state the

760
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 3: organ to think about my resolutions. I CA I cash

761
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 3: in a lot of my resolutions this year. I can

762
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 3: go back and read them. They're my somewhere.

763
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: Also doing New Year's Eve with you again, and we're

764
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: doing the lentils again. For those of you who are

765
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: knew the podcasts, the Chiano family has a tradition of

766
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: eating lentils on New Year's at midnight. We did it

767
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: last year. Shout out Drew and Christy. We did it

768
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: at their party. James cooked up some lentils, took a video,

769
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: put it on met stuff. Pretty damn good year. About

770
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: as good as it could have been.

771
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 3: I brought lentils to the function and I got some

772
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: hate for it. But you know what a lot of

773

Speaker 1: great years.

776
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 2: I'm trying. I'm going back for my ins and outs

777
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 2: from last year. We don't did resolutions anymore. We do

778
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: ins and outs.

779
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: So I had some ins and outs too. I could

780
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:34,239
Speaker 1: pull those up.

781
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, in carrying cash, I did that Brett baby Mark fiantos.

782
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 3: That counts bowling, trying to speak more Spanish. I failed

783
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: that one.

784
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 2: Darts. We didn't play enough darts this year. That would

785
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: be one for next year.

786
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: I saw you sneaking a little darts and in Cranford

787
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: I saw you.

788
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: I did play a little bit, play a little bit

789
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 3: Europe that cash in on that one. My out store

790
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 3: bought hummus. I have my own hummus recipe now they

791
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 3: make all the time. That was a good one. My

792
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 3: out was free agency. I guess that doesn't count for

793
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: one so though, so I'll take that one away.

794
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: Instagram.

795
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 3: I've definitely spent less time on Instagram and hadn't spent

796
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: less time in Manhattan politics. Definitely out on that.

797
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: Email.

798
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: Spent way less time on email. And the Jets was

799
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 3: out in the Jets the whole year. Great thing to

800
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 3: be out on.

801
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 2: Perfect.

802
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: My inns were meandering. I think I meandered a little

803
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: more this year, a little more good ending Darts was

804
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: on my ends as well. Riding the bus. I've been

805
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: all about the bus this year. Big bus guy. Jaywalking.

806
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: I've been jaywalking every single scenario, every chance I've been given.

807
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: I'll cross that street before the crosswalk, sweats at the bar.

808
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: I've done it like four or five a lot. Yeah, Electric,

809
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: it's a great move. Popsicles. Haven't had any popsicles this year.

810
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: I missed that one. Writing on paper, I just I

811
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: didn't write much either this year. Not a lot of writing.

812
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: Yeah you push the next year and then just and

813
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: then beer because I was out on Seltzer. No more.

814
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: Seltzer's done with those. I think I think they're starting

815
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: to die down. Frenchies, Ah yeah, super out on Frenchies.

816
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: Not a fan of those hiking. Done with hiking, never

817
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: will do it. I was out on Brita. We're just

818
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,320

819
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: water here in the Astoria Ice Spice, And then I

820
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: was out on politics. I wasn't doing it. Then I

821
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: think it's a breaking year.

823
