1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Mets offered Kyle Tucker fifty million dollars a year. Yeah, 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: that's what we're hearing. Robert Murray coming out dropping an 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: absolute banger right after Will Salmon earlier in the day 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: gave us a banger that the Mets were offering Kyle 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,319 Speaker 1: Tucker around three years, one twenty to one hundred and 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: forty million. Robert Murray comes out and says, it's more 7 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: like fifty million dollars a year, so. 8 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 2: We can kind of just do the math. 9 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 1: Three for one fifty seems to be the offer from 10 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: the Mets to Kyle Tucker. That's that's crazy, Mets it. 11 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: They're playing ball, they're getting ready. This could be a 12 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: player that the Mets see on their roster at some point. 13 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: I know you're a little hesitant, James, but I'm gonna 14 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: be the optimistic. 15 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: Guy and be very excited about this. 16 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: Yeah. 17 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,639 Speaker 2: I'm way more skeptical just for the fact that we're 18 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 2: getting so many crumbs, like we're not even getting crumbs, 19 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: like we're getting pieces of bread like out and about 20 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: it about the Mets going after Kyle Tucker, Like how often 21 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 2: when you get these kinds of big media hints and clues, 22 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 2: is at actually what happens. 23 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: Truthfully, all I'm all I'm saying is I was so 24 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: insanely optimistic about wan so to all offseason. I saw 25 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: you'd be wishy washy, back and forth, hopping on and 26 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: off the fence. Whether he's gonna be a met, stick 27 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: with it, Kyle Tucker is. 28 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: Gonna be a New York Met. I'm putting my stamp on. 29 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: And the reason I think the crumbs are not a 30 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: bad thing I think similarly to a lot of other 31 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: negotiations is one, I think if this was another team, 32 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: you might be feeling differently about the crumbs. But two, 33 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: I think that this is kind of like the Hey, 34 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: this is the best offer we've got. 35 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: Anybody else gonna beat this? 36 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: If not, Kyle Tucker might not really have a choice 37 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: but to take that it is an incredible offer. 38 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: Still, oh this and this is a blatant league from 39 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: the probably the player's side, if I had to guess, 40 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: just because you're like, hey, I don't really want to 41 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: take this offer? Can someone beat this offer? And it 42 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 2: also comes on the heels of Ken Rosenthal in fair territory. 43 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 2: I believe that was Monday, It was January twelfth, kind 44 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: of throwing cold water on the fact that the Blue 45 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: Jays want to add another impact player. The Blue just 46 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: have had the most active free agency period of any 47 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: t in the league after losing the World Series by 48 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: an eighth of an inch, and then they spent a 49 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: lot of money and then basically after they signed Cozumokamo, 50 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: though it was like, oh this he basically Russell basically 51 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: the lineup is full. He doesn't really see them making 52 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: a huge addition. Bluejays fans are freaking out, but like, 53 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: what what mothers Ken Rosendal have to not report the truth? 54 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I trust Ken, He's one of He's 55 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: part of the circle of trust of guys where when 56 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: I hear things I believe it is that the Dodgers 57 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: are truly the team that scares me the most, and 58 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: that's the one that's the one And at some point 59 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: they probably can't keep spending unlimited amounts of money. But also, 60 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 1: at the same time, why can't they because they make 61 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: ungodly amounts every single year and it doesn't seem to 62 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: really matter. The Kyle Tucker definitely probably wants more years. 63 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: I think that's what it is. I think the aav 64 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: is gonna be around fifty million for whatever the years 65 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: are going to be eventually when he signs. I can't 66 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: see it going above five. But I also I don't 67 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: think that three will be the final spot like I 68 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: think it might be. I texted you, I said, three 69 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: for one to fifty gets it done. Might be more 70 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: like four for two hundred. I was gonna say, clearly not. 71 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: I think the reason that this three for one fifties 72 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: even out there and the Mets are comfortable doing it 73 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 2: because they can go, hey, Bason, only place you're getting 74 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: fifty million dollars a year? Yes, Like if you want 75 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: to make thirty sixllion dollars a year for seven years, like, sure, 76 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: you can go do that, you'll be over two hundred 77 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: and twenty million dollars. Like that's all good and well 78 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 2: even more than that, but this might be if you 79 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: want a really big, shiny number. I wonder also how 80 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 2: much this comes back to how soon can you get 81 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: on the market again, Like how soon a guy like 82 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker, who's coming off two kind of wonky years 83 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 2: where he still wanted the teen best to this baseball. 84 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: We'll talk about that as we get through a little bit. 85 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 2: We have been talking about that for like a month 86 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: straight on this show, and some people still don't don't 87 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,839 Speaker 2: believe it, But like, is could there be a world 88 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: where this is the unprecedented? I guess similar to what 89 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 2: Breakman happened last year. You have an opt out after one. 90 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 2: That's what I was gonna say. Is surely an opt 91 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: outs coming with this. I can't imagine that any short 92 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: term I can't imagine any short term deal has no 93 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: opt outs. I would be shocked it has to. But 94 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: that's in free agents past. The whole the debate and 95 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: the competition is always how much money, how many years 96 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: can we offer? Where this might be the inverse of that, 97 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: ironically how few years well? Or is the team willing 98 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: to accept. It's probably what happened with tasuim I with 99 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: the Astros, where it's like, I'm sure no one else 100 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: offered him a one year deal. That was a bit 101 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: of a desperation play by the Astros and they needed 102 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: the pitcher. So again works out for both sides. But 103 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: this also could be desperation played by the Mets, like 104 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: we need we want a really big bat in slide 105 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: up this year. This is the biggest bat. 106 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: We'll also tell you too that, Like, let's just pretend 107 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: there are no opt outs, right A three year deal 108 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: puts Kyle Tucker back on the free agent market going 109 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: into his thirty two year old season, So twenty that 110 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: would be what twenty twenty eight would be when he 111 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: becomes after the twenty twenty eight season, So twenty twenty nine, 112 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: he'd be in his thirty two year old season. That's 113 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: not a bad place either for him to be if 114 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: he were to hit free agency. Again, it's not as 115 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: advantageous as it is right now. But if Kyle Tucker 116 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: were to ball out for three years, which is one 117 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: hundred percent in the realm of possibility, he's not gonna 118 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: get the mega mega contract, but he will probably sign 119 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,119 Speaker 1: a contract to the end of his career for pretty 120 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: good money, and he might come out of it with 121 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: more money total if he goes this route than if 122 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: he were to go longer term right. 123 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: Now kind of, but like, how how much money you 124 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: making as a thirty two year old? You're even at 125 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: Mat Springer made like one hundred and fifty million exactly. 126 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 2: I guess he can make two hundred and fifty million 127 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker at that point, which is even spitballing. Like 128 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 2: I do wonder there was that leak that came out 129 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: like a week ago that we talked about privately. Didn't 130 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 2: make it out to hear that this was not verifying, 131 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: we won't chase it, but like that, there was a 132 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: willingness to go seven. I don't know if the Mets 133 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: have a willingness to go seven. Truthfully, yeah, I don't 134 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 2: think so. I don't think so. I think the only 135 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: team that was willing to go seven was the Blue Jays. 136 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: But maybe they want to push down aav now because 137 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: of how high they're spending. Again, like seven is such 138 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: an awkward number for him too. 139 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: It's like you're gonna hit three free agency at like 140 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: thirty five, Like you're you're never gonna get a good 141 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: contract at that point. 142 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: I mean, the Lindor extension runs to thirty seven. It's 143 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: kind of similar where it's like that goes out to 144 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: be one of the best contracts ever, that it's a 145 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: tremendous contract. I do just wonder where the Dodgers and 146 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: Blue Jays are, because yeah, I can't. I can't get 147 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: away from the fact that this is a big blinking light. 148 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: Someone offer more or better deal. Of course it's it's 149 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: one hundred percent coming from them. But at the same time, 150 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: this isn't a bad deal. 151 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: So that's why I think there's there's no risk from 152 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: them from Kyle Tucker's side, to be like. 153 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 2: This is the offer we got. 154 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: It seems like the Mets like, if if we get 155 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: nothing else, we'll sign three for one fifty. 156 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 2: We're gonna happy. 157 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: It's not the perfect deal, But at the same time, again, 158 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: there's got to be an opt out there. One hundred 159 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: percent is if it's not after one, there's gonna be 160 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: after two years. Still has a chance to go hit 161 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: the market at thirty thirty one and make some serious 162 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: money again, especially if he stays healthy and balls out 163 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: like he can. 164 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: There's also a good thing for US Mets fans knowing 165 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: that there seems to be consistent dialogue, just from the 166 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 2: fact that early in the afternoon will Samon report the 167 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: three years in the one hundred and twenty one hundred 168 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 2: and forty million dollar range, and then like an hour 169 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: and a half later, Robert Murray confirmed a three year, 170 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: fifty million dollar AAV. So there's conversations happening, and as 171 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 2: we record this January thirteenth. I want to congratulate Kyle 172 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: Samantha Tucker on their second wedding. Aniss Ray. It's a 173 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: big day for the family right there, Tuck. Kyle's birthday 174 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: is also this coming Saturday. We're gonna we're gonna be 175 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 2: celebrating my birthday on his birthday. Maybe little come together. 176 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: Come meet us at the bar, Kyle Tucker and your 177 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: wife after you sign it in Queen's with the Mets, 178 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: come hang out. I'll celebrate my birthday. You can do 179 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: your anniversary and your birthday as well. 180 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 2: If we can get me you Kyle Tucker hanging out 181 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 2: in Williamsburg, that would be That'd be an all the time. 182 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 2: That's stuff. I think that would be a great way 183 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: to celebrate my thirtieth. Oh, one of the best ways 184 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 2: I could possibly maagine celebrating your three then my thirtieth 185 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: next month we traded for Freddy Parlton. That'd be perfect. 186 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: But it's just I wonder, I wonder how realistic this is. 187 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: I really, I think I think it's way more realistic 188 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: than you're giving it credit. 189 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: For fifty mili aav four years two hundred is insane. 190 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: That's absolutely nuts. 191 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: The only way I see a team going that long again, 192 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: is gonna be if there's opt outs, And maybe the 193 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: reason why they would win is like maybe one of 194 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 1: those years is like fifty three million after the opt 195 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: out and the contract is more front loaded than backloaded. 196 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: That's It's just I don't. 197 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: Know how you beat the fifty AAV and if there's 198 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: an opt out, you definitely probably can't beat it. 199 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: Maybe the only way to beat it is a team 200 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: like the Dodgers who already signed a player and Diaz 201 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: with a qualifying offer, and you have slightly lower qualifying 202 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: offer penalties, and you're like, all right, one year, who cares? Yeah, 203 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 2: like you do what the Red Sox just did with 204 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: Alex Bragmant, which completely backfired on them, or kind of 205 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: what the Cubs just dad with Kyle Tucker. Where where 206 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 2: are the Cubs? Why aren't the Cubs offer him one 207 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: year deal? Well, they got Alex Bregman, so I guess, 208 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: I guess I'm not allowed to go over the luxury attacks. 209 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: But still it's like it seems like you easily could 210 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 2: have fought Kyle Tucker for one more year, very easily. 211 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: There's also like, I mean again, he fits in the 212 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: Blue Jays. He fits in the Dodgers. There's no issues 213 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: with them anywhere. It seems like the Blue Jays maybe, 214 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: if any of the team, probably the least likely, just 215 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: because they, like you mentioned with Rosenthal in this line, 216 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: like they are kind of set with their roster, like 217 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: there would have to be subsequent moves that follow to 218 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: get that twenty six man roster down to like a 219 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: more attainable size. 220 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 2: It's not a problem. I think they'd be happy to 221 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: do so. 222 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: But maybe for the Blue Jays as well, for spending 223 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: all that extra money, they don't value Kyle Tucker as 224 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: that much of a needle mover based on what already 225 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: they have where they could put that money towards other. 226 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: Position at is that a possibility? It's like possibility. They 227 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: also just I don't know, there's there might be something 228 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: about I'm really grasping a Straws year. It might be 229 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: something about like not wanting to send a guy who 230 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: played the huge role for you in a major playoff run, 231 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: like Nathan Lucas down to the minor league. There's two 232 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: years old to begin the seas, you know what I mean, Like, 233 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 2: is that a weird look for other guys? 234 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: In the room. 235 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: I understand it's probably fine because you're getting Kyle's hucker, 236 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. But like, there's probably a lot of 237 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 2: regret from the Blue Jays about having Anthony's ounce on 238 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: there on their roster. I think that's the one where 239 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: you kick yourself right now, which is why you shouldn't 240 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: just blame like blindly go out and sign every single 241 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 2: free agent you could possibly find. But it's it really 242 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 2: just feels like the Mets and Dodgers. I feel like 243 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: the Mets have the most motivation to actually get this done. 244 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 2: And as perfect as he fits into the Dot like 245 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 2: he fits perfectly into the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's crazy 246 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: how good he fits there. They have to stop spending 247 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: at some point, right they have to. They have to 248 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 2: please tell me, they have to. I think so, And 249 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: like the the how perfect he fits on the Dodgers 250 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 2: it is. I mean, you want to really see me 251 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 2: grasp a stross. It's a very left handed hnding line 252 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 2: that might be a little in balance. No balance, Kyle, 253 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: you can't have that balance, And they could also acquisce 254 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: this pretty easily. You just you just probably send down 255 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: Alex call or just to trade Alex call for pitcher 256 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 2: somewhere and yeah, then that's perfect spot Eddi Pott. But 257 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 2: then it also funny they'd be sending a guy and 258 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 2: Andy Pies, who I know he had a bad postseason, 259 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: but he was like a four win player last year. 260 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: You sent him to the bench of twenty five years 261 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 2: old or then, well he'd be sick here, wouldn't he. Yeah, 262 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: I guess he could play center and you can move 263 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: Edmond back to second. But sucks too, So like it's 264 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 2: Pie is probably out the guy that goes in the bench. 265 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 2: It's just it's a it's weird that it hasn't been 266 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 2: more competitive, and I think that also speaks to the 267 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 2: strangeness of Kyle Tucker's profile. Honestly, I think that's kind 268 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 2: of where it's nice that the Mets aronously pushing some 269 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: chips in for a guy that isn't is very good, 270 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 2: is slightly flawed, has some weird stuff that's happened the 271 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: last few years, but he's the biggest lightning rod available. 272 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: Hey, make good eats at home part of your twenty 273 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 3: twenty six New Year's resolution.

Again, where 295 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: there's smoke, there's fire. We haven't heard about any other 296 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: teams really meeting with Kyle Tucker. We've been hearing about 297 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: the Mets, the Mets. The Mets pushing it forward for 298 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: a team's implay. Teams are in play, but in terms 299 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: of like formal meetings, we haven't really heard. There's not 300 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: much smoke with these other teams besides the idea that 301 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: they're interested where the Mets. They're like this, it's out there. 302 00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: We know what the Mets are doing. The Mets have 303 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: now set the market for Kyle Tucker. Are you gonna 304 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: beat it? I like the position the Mets are, and 305 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: I think it's it's quite advantageous. I'd give them fifty 306 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: percent chance to get Kyle Tucker. 307 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 2: That's the official Marcolino prediction. Fifty percent. 308 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: I'll say fifty one, and then we'll split the forty 309 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: nine percent between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays. 310 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: Going Dodgers too, Blue Jays three, that's big t I 311 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 2: think that. I don't know. I'd be shocked if the 312 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: three for one fifty is what gets it done at 313 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 2: this point, because like you still, you still get left 314 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 2: in no man's landed for Kyle Tucker. Like I think 315 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 2: the Fish the best case scenario for him at this point. 316 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: I don't think any of these teams are giving him 317 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: any opportunity. For one year to opt out. I just 318 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 2: think that I think they will. I think it's a 319 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: complete non starter for a guy that you're giving up 320 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: qualifying off for Pelts, for even someone who's goes Kyle Tucker. 321 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 2: Just from a conscious from business standpoint. 322 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: The two organizations that could because their farm system is 323 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: so loaded is the Dodgers and the Mets. Those are 324 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: two of the best farm system in baseball. Both of 325 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: them have guys at the major league level right now 326 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: if there was ever a time for them to be able. 327 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 2: I mean MESSI stated with. 328 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 1: Soda last year too, but like only one ever though, 329 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: yeah I know, only one I ever five years in 330 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: the five years. But there also haven't been that many 331 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: guys that the Mets have been interested in for those 332 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: same conversations as well. So like, I think that both 333 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: of those teams to get your guy, to get Kyle Tucker, 334 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: who is again one of the best hitters in baseball 335 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: despite what people want to look at underneath the hood, 336 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: the stats aren't aliging. 337 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: Like in terms of the rates, he's been one of 338 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 2: the best in baseball over the last three four years. 339 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: I mean, of the hoods really good too. 340 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but people are like, oh, he doesn't 341 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: swing the bad hard or he doesn't have the hardest 342 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: eggs of velos, which yeah, it's fine, but he still 343 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: does absolutely mash well. 344 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 2: All of those risk is mitigated by a three year contract, 345 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 2: Like I just like that exactly your contract. I have 346 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: no doubt whatsoever that he's going to be one of 347 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: the ten best hitters in baseball over the next three 348 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: to five years. Like, that's not the issue with the 349 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker deal at the outset of the offseason was 350 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: like years nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Sure, that's always the problem, 351 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 2: but the thirty eight year old Kyatucker looks like but that's 352 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: like I can't worry about it. Yeah, no, for sure. 353 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 2: But that was like you do to do that type 354 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: of nick knit picking when you're signing a twelve year deal. 355 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: If you're singing a twelve year deals, like okay, who cares? 356 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: Luckily for the Mets doesn't seem like they're going to 357 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: It's like, if you want to play for us, it 358 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: canna be three years. And I do wonder where the 359 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: other teams are with their offers, like do we even 360 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 2: have anything concrete about meetings about interest? Like it just 361 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: these three teams, the Mets, the Blue Jays, and the 362 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 2: Dodgers have continued to be linked, but there hasn't really 363 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: This is the first day we've had real, true, concrete 364 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 2: stuff going on. That's what I'm telling you. I'm like them, 365 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 2: and it's Mets. It's all Mets. Where they're smoke, there's fire. 366 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm I need you to believe, James, I need you 367 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: to believe that the Mets are gonna get Kyle Tucker 368 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: because I'm I'm so I'm so in. 369 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: I think that there's a good chance this is gonna 370 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 2: have so ass backwards. I believe more until this whole 371 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: flurry on Tuesday. This is just like this to me 372 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: is like I don't want to be a Met, but 373 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: I might have to be, so someone says me. 374 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: Yes, I think that just might be you beating a 375 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: little pessimistic. I don't want to be a Met. There's 376 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: there's no indication of that. I I think if you 377 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: are doing any sort of business this, I'm sure. 378 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 2: David Stearns in the Mets said, Kyle, go look, go 379 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 2: see if you can get a better offer. If you 380 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 2: can go take. 381 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: It, like yeah, three for one fifties probably the best 382 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: that you're gonna get in terms of value and what 383 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: you could get after this contract's up. 384 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: I think it's good business. 385 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: For the for Kyle Tucker's camp to be like anybody, 386 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: anybody got any nothing else, like anybody. I think at 387 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: this point too, like this could even signal some teams 388 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: that we haven't considered to be it. Not necessarily thinking 389 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: that the Phillies are the Yankees again, because we know 390 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: that it makes a ton of sense for those guys, 391 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: but this can maybe even be a sign like this 392 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: is what we are getting, this is our market. It's 393 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: probably a little more attainable for a lot more teams, 394 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: as crazy as it sounds to give three for one 395 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: to fifty than the long term contract. 396 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 2: Yes and no, just because I think the Mets and 397 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: the Dodgers and probably the Blue Jays, which is why 398 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: these are three teams involved, are the three teams in 399 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: the league with the most willingness to far exceed the 400 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 2: luxury tax, like especially the Mets and the Dodgers. These 401 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: are the teams that just pay those penalties and are 402 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 2: fine with it, Like the Yankees. Just as much money 403 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 2: as we know they have, they have passed. Yeah, I 404 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 2: mean you still have it, not choosing expend it like 405 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 2: these are the teams are the most willing to go 406 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: into that. They're the most willing to take on that 407 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: kind of incredible financial investment. Like this is basically paying 408 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 2: Cottuker a hundred million dollars a year, which is obscene 409 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 2: to think about, but it's God. I love having money 410 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 2: as the Mets. It's such a cool thing. Now. I 411 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 2: was saying, this is a sick thing that we can't do, 412 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: Like we're like, yeah, we could take Yeah, don't worry 413 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: about luxury tax. Fine, no big no biggie, like you 414 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 2: get Kyle Tucker. This is Will Salmon said this not 415 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: even for Baytham, word for word last week when he 416 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 2: came on your World Series Contender again. I literally are 417 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 2: if you're the Mets like this is, you now have 418 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 2: the second best lineup in the National League and you'd 419 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: be one pitcher away, and we know there's still some 420 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 2: pitchures available from having a rotation that can definitely drag 421 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: you through a playoff race. 422 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 4: I'm so excited. 423 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: This is it got my juice is flowing. Do you 424 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: think there was a conversation between Kyle Tucker and pe 425 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: Alonzo yet I don't know. I know they both went 426 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: to the same high school. Petez like two years apart. 427 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: HET's older than Tucker one year. 428 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: I think two because Tucker is like twenty eight, turned 429 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: twenty nine and Pete's turning at thirty one. Turning thirty 430 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: one or is thirty one is probably a two year 431 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: difference with those. 432 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 2: They were guaranteed on the same baseball team at some point. Yeah, definitely, Man, 433 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 2: what a baseball team that must have been. By the way, 434 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo Kyle Tucker on the same roster, that's absolutely crazy, right, 435 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: But I mean I want I wonder if that's like 436 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: a weird part of this where it's like you really 437 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: like imagine like how much Pete Alonzo's whatever he says 438 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: about the Mets and how much weight that could be 439 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: holding right now if that call was made. Does Pete 440 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: even have anything bad to say? They just think of 441 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 2: I'm sure that's what I said. I'm sure Pete was like, yeah, 442 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 2: that's are great. I love I love Steven Alex. 443 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: Also, so like Kyle Tucker, ask you, Pete, like, hey, 444 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: you were just there. They didn't want to give you 445 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: that for five year because they want to get to 446 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: me for three thoughts like a cool dude, think the money. 447 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: That might be a tough conversation to have with me, 448 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: my move into his apartment, swap spots, Yeah right, I 449 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: mean that could be happening. 450 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 2: That just it's it's funny all these little tiny things 451 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 2: at play right now. It's just I wonder if if 452 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 2: the only way that they can get him is a 453 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 2: one year deal. I wonder if they do it, who 454 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 2: the Mets? Yeah, if anybody, Well, so, then that's the 455 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 2: opt out. A one year. I think a two year 456 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: opt out almost guaranteed. And I think the three years 457 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 2: is just holding a two year opt out, so really 458 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 2: that becomes a two year one hundred million dollars. The 459 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 2: three year is the insurance if you, like get hurt 460 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 2: or have a bad season, yeah, which is again good 461 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 2: for the player. And I do wonder if I'm sure 462 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 2: right now, like they're saying, like, if you give us 463 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: the one year we're signing today, I just think that 464 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 2: you're probably holding that line like I want, I want, 465 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 2: I want you for two years at least. Please? Could 466 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 2: you imagine how funny it would be? 467 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: It's like Kyle Tucker signs one year, fifty million dollar contract. 468 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 2: But it is funny again, I'd be like, where are 469 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: the Cubs right now? But I just where's everyone in baseball? 470 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: Teams don't want to spend one hundred percent hundred ten 471 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 2: percent tax rate hunt. That's exactly what this is. Like. 472 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 2: The Guardians are coming up and buying the guardians of 473 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: the team that should be involved right now. If they're 474 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 2: not the guardians, they get year, they get. 475 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: What close to two hundred million, if they actually did 476 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: that for once in their life. 477 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 2: Two hundred million. I think they I think they're under 478 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 2: one hundred right now. Cleveland is one seventeen. 479 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: I think, okay, jeez, it's gonna right to one sixty, 480 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: and they'd be right in the middle of the back eighteenth. 481 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 2: Hey, they'd be the eighteenth highest spender in baseball. Still, 482 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 2: I mean, they like teams like the Phillies. But then 483 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 2: the fact that there's been no connection whatsoever any team 484 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 2: besides the Mets, the Dodgers, the Blue Jays. Ken Rosementhalt 485 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 2: throws a good bit of cold water on the Blue 486 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: Jays on Monday, the Mets come with heavy offers on Tuesday. 487 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 2: Seems like he just wants to be a Dodger. If 488 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: they're willing to do the one year yolo contract. Don't 489 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 2: say that. 490 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: I don't think he's seen No. This is good business, 491 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: this is capitalism. I got money, who can do better? 492 00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: You should always go out and try and get a 493 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: better deal. And that's what he's doing. 494 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 2: But there's also the element of, like, you don't want 495 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 2: to push the team off that's offering you fifty million 496 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 2: dollars a year, you know what I mean. 497 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: I got a pretty good feeling that the Mets knew 498 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: that Kyle Tucker's camp was gonna be like, here's what 499 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: the Mets offered us, because that's the only way that 500 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: this is out there. 501 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 2: It also does echo what everybody's saying. It's probably guess 502 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 2: res off kind of soon. 503 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: It feels like it's gonna happen right as I sit 504 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: down for my birthday dinner on Thursday. 505 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 2: That's gonna be the worst timing ever. I think the 506 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: latest we'll get this is like January twenty first. That's 507 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 2: that seems like almost impossibly long. It's the latest January line. 508 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 2: Today's the thirteenth, so it'd be next Wednesday, is your line? 509 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 2: I will take the under I think it is. I 510 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 2: think that I was. Guess that's not the line. 511 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: I think it's before Kyle Tucker's birthday, before January seventeen 512 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: and a half, before before Saturday, before we celebrate your birthday. Yes, 513 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: before the Bills and the Broncos kick off at four 514 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: o'clock on Saturday. Yeah, it has to be signed, and 515 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be with the New York Mets. I'm delusional, 516 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: I'm all in, I'm drinking it. 517 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 2: God, if he signed to the Mets, I'll be jacked up. 518 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 2: I'll be so excited. 519 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: I want to know your guys' opinions down the common 520 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: section below.
