1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Wow, all right, some breaking news at two o'clock in

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: the morning.

3
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: We literally just finished an episode.

4
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Sean Mania has re signed with the Mets three years,

5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars.

6
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 2: A NIXXL reaction, let Ef and go. I love it.

7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 2: I'm pumped. I'm excited, James, how you feel? Amazing? This

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: is great.

9
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 3: The Met's needest starting pitcher. We loved having Sean and

10
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 3: I here. He loved being a Met. He pitched amazing.

11
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 3: It's only a three year deal, which is an amazing,

12
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 3: amazing thing. We thought we're going to possibly have to

13
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 3: give him five. This seems like the kind of thing

14
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 3: that just simply worked out really well for everybody. And

15
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: I'm really happy to.

16
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: Have a deal. We can just say that and get

17
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: it done before Christmas.

18
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like all the indications this offseason were

19
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: that man I wanted to return with the Mets.

20
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: It looked like the Mets wanted a reunion with Manaya.

21
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: Obviously, now that has come true with a three year,

22
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollar contract, but even from off the

23
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: field stuff. He was having his wedding this offseason. He

24
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: invited all the players. It seemed like to his wedding

25
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: every single one. He was very active in Francisco Indoor's

26
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: daughter's birthday party during the off season, Like there was

27
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: so much stuff that led you believe that Sean and

28
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: I was going to be a met and I'm glad.

29
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the vibes are incredible with Sean Maya, he

30
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: was a great pitcher. It looked like Jeremy Hefner might

31
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: have made it click for Sean and I last year

32
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: with that whole thrown across his body type stuff that

33
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: he got from Chris Sale.

34
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: This feels like a really good deal.

35
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: I know, the twenty five million dollars a year seems

36
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: like a lot, and I know you're gonna give us

37
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: a couple stats about where that ranks in terms of

38
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: starting pitchers aav every single season. But at the three

39
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: year deal for a thirty three year old pitcher on

40
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: opening day next year coming off a career season, looks

41
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be somewhat sustainable. I'm feeling really really good,

42
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: and I feel like Mets fans wanted an Ace. I mean,

43
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: I may not be an Ace, but he definitely makes

44
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: this rotation so much better than it was without him,

45
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: so much better.

46
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 3: We kept giving you guys a stat that the Mets

47
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: lost five hundred in from last year's rotation. He just

48
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: got one hundred seventy of him back. That's great, one

49
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty. So it kind of feels like, besides

50
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: Roki Sasaki, the Mets might be kind of done with

51
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: the pitching, which is kind of crazy to say. I think,

52
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: besides Roki and possibly besides a very short term corpen

53
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: Bird's contract if we get to dire straits, if you

54
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: everry in March. But no, it's just never really felt

55
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: like he was gonna leave. I was suspicious of it,

56
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: and I did. I was kind of half righting a

57
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: weird prediction I gave him late in the season that

58
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: Showman and I would get a bigger contract at the Alonso.

59
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 3: I think he's definitely gonna wind up with a higher

60
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: AAV or maybe not definitely. It was a good chance

61
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: he does it. Twenty five million year significant This twenty

62
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: five million dollars a year. This is the ninth highest

63
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: a AVY for any starting pitcher in baseball. It's the

64
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: exact exact same contract nath Navaldi got from the Texas

65
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: Rangers week and a half ag same contract Sonny Gray

66
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: got from the Saint Louis Cardinals last year. Those guys

67
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: are both a little bit more proven for their careers

68
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: in sham and I. Those guys are also both two

69
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: years old in the shaman Ia. So I think that again,

70
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 3: this is just like you wipe your hands with a

71
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: clean this is a fair contract for Sham and I

72
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: A yeah, No, I.

73
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: Mean he was really good again last year.

74
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: Like it's it can't be understated how much he meant

75
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: to this team and how big he was in that

76
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: second half push.

77
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: Because as soon as.

78
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: He was able and it was the day you started

79
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: calling that he was the five and dive guy. As

80
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: soon as that happened, all he was doing was going

81
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: six and seven innings. All he was doing was pitching

82
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: great baseball.

83
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: And it seems like.

84
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: Just the makeup and the pitching and the the ability

85
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: to be a sponge and taking everything that Jeremy haf

86
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: you told him. He made a huge adjustment during the season,

87
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: huge adjustment late in the season, made a massive adjustment

88
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: and it worked. So now with the whole offseason, he

89
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: knows he's going to be here with the Mets for

90
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: the next three years. I can't wait to see what

91
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: the Mets are going to continue to do with the

92
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: development of Sean Andya, which is also crazy to say

93
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: for a thirty three year old pitcher, but that's the

94
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: magic what the Mets got going on the pitching side

95
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: and having Jeremy Hefner here.

96
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

97
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: I also think that there was something about how valuable

98
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: he was to the clubhouse, to call, to the locker

99
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: room everything. I remember his comments after Game six just

100
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: being like a certain this is where I wanted to be.

101
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: I really love being a member of this team. We

102
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: also signed to one of his really good friends, and

103
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: Frankie Mantos, who said specifically and he talked to him

104
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: and I have before signing the deal, and that he

105
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: really likedly did here and he thought this team was

106
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: really special. And all the infrastructure of the pitching development everything.

107
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: I think all of that kind of coalescent. Again, we

108
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: had some steam during the winter meetings, Andy mart human

109
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: rapport on it. That was just there was a good

110
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: chance it was going to happen. It seems like he

111
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: Shaum and I also probably and is good on him,

112
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: probably gave the Mets the love of the break here

113
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: compared to some other teams, like I'm sure he could

114
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: have gotten a fourth year, possibly a fifth year by

115
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: the way his pitching mark was moving this offseason. The

116
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: fact that this is the contract he signed something that's again,

117
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: we gave him a good aav We gave him a few.

118
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: Extra million dollars a year, which is awesome.

119
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: Like you were predicting that he could have gotten somewhere

120
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: like the twenty one million dollar range for four or

121
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: five years. The Sectura four million dollars a year is

122
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: now the joke. I mean, you're living in New York,

123
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 3: so you have you have to give the guy a

124
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 3: little bit more money than that.

125
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 2: But is this is great?

126
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: Like in an offseason where Luisa Reno got a very

127
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: similar contract to this, I would way rather have Shama

128
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: and the off season where Nick Martinez, Nick Paveda got

129
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 3: qualifying officer is gonna go over twenty million dollars next year?

130
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 3: Like this is this is awesome, Like this is a great,

131
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: great deal for everybody, And I'm very very, very very

132
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: happy Shamana is backse I doubt I think he's gonna

133
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: be back. I really didn't think so.

134
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: See I thought he was.

135
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: I was really like I thought other teams would be

136
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: more interested and more aggressive, and I thought that would

137
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: be the reason why is that a team was gonna

138
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: come in, And truthfully, I thought it was gonna be

139
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: like if someone came in and took him from the Mets,

140
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: it was gonna be at that four year, one hundred

141
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: million dollar mark where they were gonna be like twenty

142
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: five million with that extra year. It seemed like the

143
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: Mets and this even gives us I feel like a

144
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: little more insight into Pete Alonso contract talks as well,

145
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: which is crazy how it always come back to this,

146
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: but it looks like right now Mets don't want to

147
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: commit more than three years to anybody that's not named Monsto, Francisco,

148
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: Indoor Brand, Nemo and those guys. Like if you're a

149
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: free agent on the marker. Right now, it seems like

150
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: the Mets have a three year plan of this is

151
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: where we're gonna make a real, real big push right

152
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: now with the guys that are available where this team is. Truthfully,

153
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: those are gonna be the prime years of the guys

154
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: that are on this roster right now in terms of Nemo,

155
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: lindor Sodo, Like we're hitting those guys Primes. It makes

156
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: a lot of sense to lock up and pitching as well.

157
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: Clay Holmes got the three year deal, we now got

158
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: Sean and I. Those guys will be a part of

159
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: the rotation for a bit and Mantas Scott too yeat

160
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: like they're building it out in such a smart way

161
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: where it also does not handicap them at all or

162
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: hamper them from being able to make more moves this

163
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: year next year at the trade deadline.

164
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: This team is in a really nice position now with

165
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: Sean and Iah.

166
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: I think Mets fans can take like a nice little

167
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: deep breath because while again he is not that ace him,

168
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: Sanga Mantas, Clay Holmes, Tyler mcguil, David Peterson, there's a

169
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: lot of really nice depth in this rotation right now

170
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: that was lacking it coming into the offseason.

171
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, like we said, five hundred things seemed like they

172
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 3: were going to be gone from last year's rotation.

173
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: We seemingly have.

174
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: Now replaced most of that, right Like I could pretty

175
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: confidently say that we have basically the rest back here.

176
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: And the weird thing is, and I know this is

177
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: like super bizarre talk about like Quodac sing it in

178
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: pitchenny innings last year. That's a huge chunk that's coming

179
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 1: back as well for the upcoming season.

180
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: Still some questions questions that was going to come back

181
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: how we version I think I think while there's still

182
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: some questions about his rotation, this just makes it a

183
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: lot better. And also after Shum and I just want

184
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: to mention that the Mets are at two hundred and

185
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: seventy seven million dollars, so they're now pushing up right

186
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: against the luxury tech the third attack threshold two hundred

187
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: and eighty one million, which we're pretty sure the Mets

188
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: are going to blow right through. So we're still very clean,

189
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: twenty five million below the last threshold, and there's probably

190
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: a twenty five million dollar player sitting out there for

191
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: the Mets that we're gonna figure out. And it's also

192
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: just funny you're doing this now. We just hopped op

193
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: back to record a two o'clock in the morning shout

194
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 3: out Jeff Passing the best in the business, the goat

195
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: tweeting this out at two o'clock in the morning, everyone's

196
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: talking about sleepy Sterens. You know who's not sleeping, David Steins.

197
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: I also can't help but think, and we're gonna talk

198
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: about this in the episode that we already recorded and that,

199
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: but it's gonna come out now. You guys can listen

200
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: to this on Monday. The other one's going to Mount

201
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 3: Christmas Eve, so try to listen to that if you

202
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: guys can.

203
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little bit of dated stuff in

204
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: terms of slightly slightly dated. But if we're talking Griffin

205
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: to Canning and all the other stuff that's gone on

206
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: in the Mets world, but we're.

207
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: Talking about Griffin cann we're talking about Hazel Bizzara, that

208
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: we're talking about the first base move.

209
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: It's more over the weekend, but I think the Hazels Buzzarre.

210
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: The point of this is interesting.

211
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: I just want to say that it feels like there's

212
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: a good chance that the Mets were involved in those conversations,

213
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 3: and that once the he's off the board, and now

214
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: you're starting to run out of guys who think you're

215
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: gonna be able to sign three year deals or be

216
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: able to come to the cheap acquisition costs, You're like,

217
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 3: we have to get this Stelle with Sean and I

218
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: because now this again puts into contexts where Jack Flairy

219
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 3: is where Walker Bueller is. It's a complete silence. Tell

220
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: on Corbin Burns again. It just worked really really well

221
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: for everybody, and I'm really so happy to be everybody

222
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 3: get to stell and I, who is one of the

223
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: most fun guys to have in your team in all

224
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: baseball and is literally one of the most interesting pitchers

225
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: in the whole league from an actual baseball standpoint.

226
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 2: Dream for the content creators like and he was a dog.

227
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: He was such a dog last year, just.

228
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: Pitching me the ball game after big game, give me

229
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: the ball huge for the Mets, playoff run huge in

230
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs for the Mets.

231
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: And shout out Sean Mania too. Just got paid.

232
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: After two seasons with the Padres and Giants, he comes

233
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: to the New York Mets.

234
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: Is a significantly better pitcher. He made like sixty sixty ish.

235
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: Appearances with the Padres and the Giants from twenty twenty

236
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: two to twenty twenty three and had a near five

237
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: VRA in about three hundred innings. He was pitching like

238
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: he was not a good pitcher. It was a reclamation project.

239
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: He came to the Mets. He just signed twenty five million,

240
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: and again we talked about this with Trevor May in

241
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: the last episode. We've talked about this on the podcast

242
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: before it's happened now. The two guys at the Mets

243
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: fixed last season in Louis Severino. When Shawanya just got

244
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: a higher AAV than you were expecting, you said, shaw Ma,

245
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: and I is ninth in Major League Baseball in terms

246
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: of AAV. The guy was free last year. He was

247
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: a afterthought for a lot of teams. He wasn't we

248
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: didn't know what he was gonna be like. And he

249
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: just got twenty five million dollars after coming to the

250
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: Mets and fixing himself. It's a huge, huge stamp up

251
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: approval from pitchers around the league.

252
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're talking about the nigh and ninth AV

253
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: in the league. Luis Averreno's fourteenth in the league in AAV.

254
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

255
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 3: So these two guys came to the Mets when their

256
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: career were Again, I'm not gonna say that was on

257
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: like life supports. Severs was a little bit and I

258
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: was just what he was as like a back end

259
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 3: guy who's kind of more of a swingman. And these

260
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 3: guys are both in the top fifteen in terms of

261
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: how much they're making a single year of all pitches

262
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 3: in baseball. That's a big blinking red light signal to

263
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 3: other pitches around baseball that if you need some help,

264
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: if you need to get yourself back on track, shout

265
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 3: out Frankie Mantas you come to the Mets and you're

266
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: gonna have a really, really, really good chance of doing that.

267
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm so happy.

268
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: I loved Sean Maaniya too, like just as at now

269
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: take take the baseball and a little brain off here just.

270
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: As a fan. Awesome, so sick.

271
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean the gift that you even tweeted out or

272
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: the video you tweeted out on Mets up when he

273
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: was pitching in LA and he's screaming like the vibes

274
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: are so good and you need some.

275
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: He's a good picture obviously, but.

276
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes you need those clubhouse guys. You need those vibes guys.

277
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: And she seems like Sean Maya is very much so

278
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: that guy.

279
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: And there's probably also not something we discount that guys

280
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: who are leaders in this team, like Francisco and Door

281
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: and brand Nemo. Probably I'm not gonna say they're being

282
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: consulted on moves like this, but I'm sure that they're

283
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 3: in some of these slight conversations or at least our

284
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 3: opinions asked on certain guys, and I'm sure they were like, Yeah,

285
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 3: Sean Seawn is the man. Especially Everything's Clubhouse went through

286
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: last year. He's just an easy guy, the root for it.

287
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 3: Like I also remember when they were started drawing the

288
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 3: EyeBlack numbers on their cheeks during the playoffs, like that

289
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: was his thing. Like, he's just so much fun he's

290
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: doing with the pure wets, the Harrison Bayler, Like he's great.

291
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 3: Like he's the kind of guy that everyone, if you're

292
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 3: watching sports, like you'll gravitate to with Shan Manya, He's

293
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 3: infectious energy, He's seems like a pleasure to be around.

294
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: He's just a fun dude. And he's also a really,

295
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: really fucking good picture. And I'm happy for him that

296
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 3: he's securing a lifetime of wealth with this contract. And

297
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: you just got married, so it's just it's all this

298
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 3: is like one of those warm, fuzzy feelings, and I'm

299
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: so excited also for everybody out there who is normal

300
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: and not sick in the head, who just went to

301
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: bed at like midnight, Oh I know, midnight gonna wake

302
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,160

Speaker 2: Let's go. Yeah. Oh that's good.

305
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: That's what I texted my dad. I know he's not

00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: seeing this right now because he's asleep, but he's.

307
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 3: Gonna sleeping right behind me and my parents as right now.

308
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: He's gonna freak out.

309
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, my dad's gonna wake up. He's gonna call me.

310
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: He probably wake me up earlier than he asked to.

311
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: But it's it's a good day, good day for the Mets.

312
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Love that move. Great stuff there.

313
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: Again, We're gonna have another episode coming out on Christmas Eve,

314
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: and then an episode coming out the day after Christmas.

315
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve episode is going to be talking about Griffin Canning,

316
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: all the Mets minor league signs that they made, as

317
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: well as the Peede Alonso free agent market, what that

318
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: looks like. And then after the day or the day

319
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: after Christmas, technically Boxing Day. Shout out the UK, shout
