Speaker 1: drop on Thursday, January twelve. First, there's been so much

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: action at the Winner Meetings. Let's go up to lead off.

13
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: It's getting robbed and keep him on. Rob's Hot take

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: on the three biggest stories in Major League Baseball Number one.

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: On Wednesday morning, people look up to Aaron Judge signing

16
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: with the New York Yankees, a his story nine years,

17
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty million dollars to stay in the Bronx.

18
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: The San Francisco Giants, his hometown team, made a real

19
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: push to bring up Judge back to the Bay Area

20
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: and also in the eleventh hour to San Diego. Padres

21
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: ponied up a ten year, four hundred million dollar deal

22
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: to bring Judge to that lineup. That would have been

23
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: an incredible line up with many Machado and uh tattoos

24
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: coming back and wants Soto. I mean, I just was

25
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: blown away that the Padres were involved. But Aaron Judge

26
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: decides to stay with the Yankees, signs a deal that

27
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: makes them the highest paid position player ever, also the

28
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: third biggest contract as far as value in the history

29
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: of baseball. Here's a guy who bet on himself. Was

30
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: offered a seven year, two hundred and thirteen million dollar

31
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: extension and instead of taking that, before the season started,

32
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: he decided he was gonna bet on himself. He put

33
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: together an unbelievable year, almost won the Triple Crown. We

34
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: won the American League MVP. He was second in batting.

35
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: That's why he didn't won the Triple Crown. He broke

36
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: Roger Marris's home run record with sixty two in the

37
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: American League. It was a season to remember. It was

38
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: a season for the Ages and he got cashed out.

39
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: People thought he would get paid big, and he did so.

40
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge in the Bronx. With the Bronx bombers, Yankee

41
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: fans rejoice. Two. Some people are surprised. We know that

42
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: there were people who thought that Aaron Judge was a

43
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: garner from the Bronx. He was gonna leave the Yanighties

44
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: because they dissed them by offering him two hundred and

45
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: thirteen million dollars before the season started. People thought that

46
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: they lowballed him. I didn't think the Yankees lowballed him,

47
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: giving his injury history, but I'm not surprised that Aaron

48
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: Judge picked the Yankees. Ultimately, Remember, he was offered the

49
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: same amount of money to go back to San Francisco

50
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: to play for his hometown team, the Giants turn that down.

51
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: He was offered another forty million, ten years, four hundred

52
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: million dollars by the San Diego Padres. Who doesn't want

53
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: to live in San Diego, Who doesn't want to play

54
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: that beautiful ballpark? Look at that team that made the

55
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: playoffs and beat the Dodgers a year ago. There's a

56
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: lot of things to like about the Padres. And he

57
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: also turned that down. And the reason I believe he

58
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: turned it down is he never was leaving the Bronx.

59
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: He never was leaving the Yankees. This guy is about history,

60
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: is about wearing the pin stripes. He came up through

61
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: the Yankees farm system. Here's a guy who has a

62
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: chance to be Derek Jeeter, and and I think that

63
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 1: there was a time where he probably considered, which guy

64
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: do you want to be Derek Jeeter who played his

65
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: entire twenty year career with the Yankees before going to

66
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, Or Robinson Canoe who was a

67
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame type player when he played in the Bronx,

68
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: who took the extra loote to go to Seattle and

69
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: that thing flamed out. Forget about the juice. Things just

70
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: didn't work out of Seattle. And basically you didn't see

71
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: him because it's the West Coast and late games he disappeared.

72
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: This guy was one of the best players in the game.

73
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: And Judge picked that he wanted to be like Derek

74
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: Cheeter and that he was going to take the Yankees

75
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: offer if they matched the minimum, which was what the

76
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Giants had offered. And it says a lot about him.

77
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: He fits the city, he fits the team, the Wrons bombers.

78
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: He's a home run hitter. He's all about tradition. This

79
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: is a guy who past Babe Ruth and Roger Marrits

80
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: for the all time home run UM home runs in

81
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: a single season in Yankee history. This guy is is

82
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: embedded in in the community, in the fabric. He's the

83
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: perfect guy for New York. He uh handles the pressure.

84
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: A lot of guys can't play in the big city

85
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: in the bright legs, but Aaron Judge can. And we

86
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: saw that and he carried the Yankees a year ago.

87
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: This guy has been a fan favorite from almost date one.

88
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: His first step bat in the major leagues in he

89
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: it's a home run. His first step back at Yankee Stadium,

90
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean the next year as a full rookie, he

91
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: wins the Rookie of the Year. He has an unbelievable

92
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: UH win in the home run Derby down in Miami.

93
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: Hit like twenty some home runs in the last round

94
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: or whatever it was. It was like a a show

95
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: he put on and uh. The only issue about Aaron

96
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Judge his whole career is if he can stay healthy.

97
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: He's a great play play center field. Last year he

98
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: leads off. He hits for average. We're talking about UM

99
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: a time in baseball where guys are hitting two forty.

100
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: He had three eleven as a power hitter. It's not

101
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: like he had sixty two runs and bad at two.

102
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: Ten were just swinging for the offenses. Three eleven is

103
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: a hell of an average when the league average was

104
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: two forty four this past year. So he does all

105
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: those things, he knocks and runs a hundred and thirty

106
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: one RBIs out of the lead off spot. What what

107
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: would his number has been? What if he bad at

108
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: four the third with guys on base. Incredible player and

109
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: the Yankees knew they had something special from day one.

110
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: That's why they put the judges chambers and the stands.

111
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: They built a stand for fans who could wear robes

112
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: and white wigs, you know, and and something that looked

113
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: like a courtroom, like who who does that? The Yankees

114
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: never have done that for an individual player. It talks

115
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: about the respect they have and last, or not least,

116
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about Aaron Judge getting in

117
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: trouble doing anything dumb, saying stuff to the fans or

118
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: being disrespectful. He's like Derek Geeta. I'm telling you, these

119
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: guys are the same player. I covered Derek Jeter from

120
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: day one in his career in New York. I was

121
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: a columnist at Newsday, and he was right away a

122
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: guy people are, you know, gravitating it too and like

123
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: and Aaron Judge the same. He's just Derek Geta with

124
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: muscles and Derek Geta with a with a long ball stick.

125
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: And that's what the Bronx barmbers are about. So a

126
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: lot of people thought the trend was that he was

127
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: gonna move on. I mean, that's what everybody. Even John

128
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: Hayman is one of the best baseball writers in the country.

129
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: He had an erroneous report that he was gonna go

130
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: with the Giants and had to retract it because it

131
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: was not correct, and he decided to come back to

132
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: the Yankees. A lot of people thought that Aaron Judge

133
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: was on his way out in New York. You know why,

134
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman left the Braves, Corey Seeger left the Dodgers,

135
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Jacob Degram left the mess Carlos Coreya left the Astros.

136
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: So it just seemed like, you know, there's a good

137
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: shot that Aaron Judge was gonna follow suit. But I

138
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: never believed it. I never believed it. On The Odd Couple,

139
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: the radio show on Fox Sports Radio. We talked about.

140
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: I kept saying, the Yankees will not be outbid, and

141
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge will not leave. I've never thought that he

142
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: was gonna leave for one second, because I do believe

143
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: that he cherishes being in the pin stripes, playing in

144
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: the Bronx, and playing for the most story franchise in

145
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: sports history. That's the New York Yanks. Number three. Don't

146
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: look now, but the Philadelphia Phillies. That taste of the

147
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: World Series, that taste of being National League champions, that

148
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: wasn't enough. We know they have Bryce Harper, but they

149
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: wanted more. And you gotta give the Phillies some credit.

150
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: They went out and got themselves a three hundred million

151
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: dollars shortstop and Trade Turner, who of course played for

152
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: the Dodgers last year about a three sixteen and uh

153
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: has been a tremendous He has speed, he hits for average.

154
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: He's a good fielder. I mean, Trade Turner is a

155
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: really good player and adamant to that lineup for the

156
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: Phillies has to be good, and Phillies fans have to

157
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: feel good about it because you know, you still have

158
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves in the NL East. You got the

159
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: New York Mats, so they're not resting on their loyals,

160
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: think on their thinking that you know, it's automatic and

161
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna get back to the World Series and all that.

162
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: They know that they had at the adds to their team,

163
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: and they went out and did it. And Taiwan Walker,

164
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: who they also got. It's impressive Taiwan Walker pitch for

165
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: the Mets. He got a two year, eighty six million

166
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: dollar deal with the Phillies. He's a really good picture

167
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: young guy. Um So the Phillies, both of their team,

168
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. And their series number four,

169
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: the New York Metropolitans. We know Steve Cohen is their owner.

170
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: He's got deep pockets, a couple of billion dollars he's worth,

171
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: and he went out. They lose Jacob deGrom to the

172
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers, and hats off to the Texas Rangers because

173
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: they got hitting in all that, but they need pitching

174
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: and if Jacob deGrom can stay healthy, they got a

175
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: guy at the top of their rotation who could change

176
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: their fortune. Now it's a big if because he can't

177
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: stay healthy. But the Mets needed to replace the Grom

178
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,119
Speaker 1: and their rotation to go along with the Max Scherzer

179
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: as the ace, and they went out and got the

180
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: a L Cy Young and come back the year Justin

181
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: Burlander and I think this is a great deal for

182
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: the Mets. Two years, eighty six million dollars and with

183
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: an option for a third year at thirty five. Now

184
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: Verland is gonna be forty this coming season. You don't

185
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: want to sign a guy into a lot of years.

186
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: That's what the Gram got. The Ground got five years

187
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: from Texas And basically, when you're the Texas Rangers, you

188
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: gotta pay the bad team tax. You gotta pay those

189
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: extra years to give people to come your way. And

190
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: in this case with the Mets, Verlander for two years

191
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: is great. It weakens the Astros in the A L,

192
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: but it bolsters the Met. So now you know you're

193
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: going to a three game series and you have Scherzer

194
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: and Verlander. Um. They have rekindled their their kinship and

195
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: and friendship from when they pitched for the Tigers. At

196
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: one time they had three straight Cy Young Award winners

197
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: in Justin Verlander, Matt Scherzer and Dave their Price. Can

198
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: you imagine all three of them had won the three

199
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: Cy Youngs in three consecutive years. I don't think that's

200
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: ever happened. And guess what, they didn't win a World Series.

201
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: In fact, they got swept in a three game series

202
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: against the Baltimore Orioles and all three of those guys pitched.

203
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: And I remember seeing a picture in the Baltimore Orioles

204
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: clubhouse and they had the three side Young Awards pictures

205
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: of the cy Young Award, three of them taked up

206
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: on the wall and they had an exco each one

207
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: that they beat three Cy Young Award winners to win

208
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: that playoff series. So the Mets also picked up Jose Quintana, uh,

209
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: two year contract, twenty six million dollars. Uh. And definitely

210
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: with the loss of Walker, they definitely needed to add

211
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: another picture from the You know the guy who who

212
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: was a star with the White Sox. We remember that

213
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: went to the Cubs for big money, that didn't work,

214
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: bounced around on a few teams the last couple of years. Uh.

215
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: But here we go, They're gonna give him a shot,

216
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: uh with the Mets. And the Mets needed another arm,

217
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: so they picked him up as well. Now bringing the clothes,

218
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: Here's why MLB is better than the NFL. Or NBA,

219
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: and it isn't even close. Reason the number five hundred

220
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: and one why baseball is better than the NBA in

221
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. Ken Rosenthal from Fox and of course, uh

222
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: The Athletic. He reported that the Dodgers did not go

223
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: after free agent shortstop Callus Correa, who played last year

224
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: with the Twins after stellar run with the Houston Astros

225
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: where he won a World Series, because Dodger fans would

226
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: not accept him because of the cheating scandal that cost

227
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: the Dodgers potentially the World Series in seventeen. That was

228
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: a year when the Astros cheated, So Dodger fans want

229
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: no part of an Astro player. Maybe that's why they

230
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: didn't get Gerlander as well, he was on that team.

231
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: But definitely the hitters, as we know, stole signs. So

232
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: the dodgerss figure they don't want to bring in the

233
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: guy like Carlos Correa onto their team and their their

234
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: their franchise, and teams like that can happen. Their teams

235
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: will look the other way, act like stuff that happened.

236
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: But when you're a blue blood and when you're one

237
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: of the franchises in a sport like the Dodgers, like

238
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: the Yankees, like the Cardinals. You call the shots. You're

239
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: the one who decides who's gonna wear your uniform and

240
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: who won't wear it, And in this case, the Dodgers

241
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: decided Carlos Correa ain't happening, and since then the Dodger

242
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: fans no one's crying to tear in Los Angeles that

243
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: he's not coming. In the words of New York TV

244
