1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: So you guys saw Edwin, Diz Dodgers, not happy, not happy. 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: This is this the first time in a long time 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: I felt like the Mets are a bit embarrassing, more 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: embarrassing than they have been in a while. It's it's unacceptable, James, 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: It's unacceptable. I don't know you're gonna Are you gonna 6 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: try to spin it positive? Are you? Or you're gonna 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: go negative all too Well. Here's what I'm gonna say 8 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: is that I think this is gonna be like a 9 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: Choose Druid Venture episode for you guys. The first ten 10 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: minutes or so, well, how long it's going to go emotions, feelings, sadness, 11 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: talking about when DS. I think after that, at least 12 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: from my perspective, I'm going to try and weave in 13 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: some baseballs, try to do some Devil's advocac I'm understanding. 14 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 1: So if you don't want to listen to that, I'll 15 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: let you know when to cut this off and have 16 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: the episode you want. If you do want that, start 17 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: skipping ahead now. But this is this is a gut punch. 18 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: This is, like you said, the first time in the 19 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: New Era that it's been like oh we like we lost, Yeah, 20 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: off the field. We lose on the field still a lot, 21 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: but the first time off the field, it felt like 22 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: we lost. Yeah, it's a it's bad. It's a bad look. 23 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: I think it's a bad feel. It's all things, like 24 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: every single way that I see this, Edwin Diaz not 25 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: coming back to the Mets from the money side, from 26 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: the if he didn't want to come back, Like, there's 27 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: no positive that I can take out of this. There's 28 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: nothing that feels good. Devin Williams is worse than Edwin Daz, edwind. 29 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: He has one of the best closers in baseball. The 30 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: Mets stunk with Edwin Diaz last year. Maybe people will say, well, 31 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: we've stunk with him, we'll stink without him or will 32 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: be doesn't really matter. I just don't know how this 33 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: bullpen is good without Edwin Daz. I have no idea, 34 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: Like even if Devin Williams, because I don't think he 35 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: goes back to being Brewers Devin Williams. That feels like 36 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: insane to ask. But even if he's good, he's still 37 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: not Edwin Diaz good like. And then to see the 38 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: contract three years, three years is crazy. It feels like 39 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: the exact thing that you got for was Andrew Friedman's 40 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: quote where he's like, if you try and nitpick over 41 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: like years in contracts and money, you end up signing nobody. 42 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: It seems like the Mets did that to a t 43 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: with Edwin Daz. Yeah, that quotes if you try to 44 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: be sensible about every free agent, you will not sign 45 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: any free agent. But I mean, it seems like no 46 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: one wanted to give Edwin Diaz a fourth year and 47 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: all of baseball. Yes, but side he signed to three? Sure, 48 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: but like also again like then then we're trying to 49 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: be a little bit too sensible, like Edwin for four 50 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: for eighty probably comes. I think that the Mets might 51 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: have made a bet that no matter what, Edwind Diaz 52 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: wanted to come back for a similar offer. That bet, 53 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: that's the bet that was wrong. Yeah, so then so 54 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: then now why the fuck did he want to come back? 55 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: That's the other part too, because there are two sides 56 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: of the same point, it's hard to figure out which 57 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: is worse. If the Mets just got straight up beat 58 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: Edwin das they didn't match or exceed the offer, which 59 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: that might be what they thought was best, but doesn't 60 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: seem right right now. But the other side of that 61 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: if they did match the offer. And now we have 62 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: reports coming out that the Mets final offer was three 63 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: for sixty six, which is basically the same. It's one 64 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: million dollars per year, and ours had slight deferrals. I'm sure. 65 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: I'm sure the Dodgers had significant deferrals. So Dodgers don't 66 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: have deferrals apparently as of right now, oh, zero deferrals. Ok, 67 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: right now, there's been no reports to Dodger deferrals. I've seen. 68 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: We did get beat but from Joel Sherman and Anthony Dicomo. 69 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: Apparently the Mets indicated the Das that there was we 70 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: we have more, Fore you come back with another offer, 71 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: will beat it. But he went to the Dodgers signed 72 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: on the spot. Yeah, it's so, which of those is worse? Both? Dot? 73 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: Can they both be the worst? Can we have two 74 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: of the worst, because I mean, listen, he like Dodgers. 75 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: You want to win. Dodgers are gonna win. Like that's 76 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: they have the best chance to win a World Series 77 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: every time. If edwin, Diaz wants to chase the bag 78 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: and also get a ring, there's no better place than 79 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. But it's just crazy to me that even if, 80 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: like I understand, the Mets didn't have I guess, the 81 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: chance to come back, possibly because of that three for 82 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: sixty nine. But then surely Diaz in his camp knew 83 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: that the Mets were never gonna beat that. Surely if 84 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: they didn't go back to I don't know, to hear 85 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: that there's wiggle room, but then find out that you 86 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: lost is a weird scenario for me from both sides. 87 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: And it's strange the way his reporting is coming out, 88 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: because this is this comes directly from Anthony Tocomo. I'm 89 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: told the Mets offer edwin Ds three years, sixty six 90 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: million dollars with slight deferrals and indicated they had some 91 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: room to improve the figure. Di has chose the Dodgers' 92 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: offer instead. Someone replied the cucle back to the Mets 93 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: to give them the last offer, and Tacomo said, the 94 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: understanding is no. It's weird. So then like he wanted 95 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: the Dodgers more than the Mets wanted him, and it 96 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: seems like there could have been some room to navigate 97 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: that middle ground. But it seems like there was kind 98 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: of a mutual understanding there that we're not gonna be 99 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: together anymore. Yeah, I mean that that sucks. If he 100 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: just wants to be here, that sucks too. I think 101 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: that's a bad look. I also think just being not 102 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: the top offer, not being the top bit is also 103 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible look, especially because the conversation had all 104 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: been four versus five years for the contracts. Really all 105 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: off season was would the Mets give a fifth? If 106 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: the Mets gave a fourth, he's here. The Mets gave 107 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: four years, he's here. It doesn't seem like the Dodgers 108 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: would have given four, but also shows how little we 109 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: know because that's what we thought, but this happening inside 110 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: and again the fact that no one in all of 111 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: baseball is willing to do that, which is why we thought. 112 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: We told you guys this mere hours ago that we 113 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: thought this Edwin Dyes thing would stretch for another month 114 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: or two because it seemed like he would be kind 115 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: of stead fans watching a fourth or at the time 116 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: we thought, possibly a fifth year. The fact that he 117 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: signed as one of the next big dominoes to fall 118 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: in free agency altogether is shocking, especially when it is 119 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: only for those three years. And that's the part, that's 120 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: the part that hurts when you saw those When Ken 121 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: Rosenthal threeed three years, I was in the middle of 122 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: recording my video, I almost fell to my knees. I 123 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: almost was like, are you kidding me? We couldn't beat 124 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: her three year deal? Because even even three for sixty nine. Again, 125 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: I understand that to night might not have been able 126 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: to go back and encounter from what everyone's saying, but like, damn, 127 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: three for seven he gets the deal done. Is that 128 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: what I'm hearing? Or does he really just not want 129 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: to be here? And then again, what is that's? You? 130 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: What is the problem? That might have been the worst 131 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: part of this because not beating it, like these offers 132 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: wound up being basically the same. You know what I mean? 133 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: You have to get an extra ish relatively get extra 134 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: million per year depending on how to Furrel's work out, 135 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: but you also have to move across the country, change 136 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: your whole life. That sucks. It's the fact that he 137 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: was like, no, I'd actually rather go there. I think 138 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: that's the part that hurts me more. Yeah, the only 139 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: rationale that I can have that doesn't hurt me is 140 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: because he wants to win. He wants to have the 141 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: best chance at winning that's the worst one. That well, 142 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: that's the worst one for actual for vibes and everything 143 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: going on with all the bullshit we've heard this offseason. 144 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: Is there a problem Eric Schavez goes was fucking Instagram 145 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: that asshole and starts posting about Edwin Diaz laughing signing 146 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: with the Dodgers. Is there something we don't fucking know? 147 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: Is there more? It seems like there might be. Maybe 148 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: he just hates the mess because the way this whole 149 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: thing ended. Maybe he feels slighted because he had to 150 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: deal with a second hitting coach that had access to 151 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: Excel and biomechanical data and he didn't think that stuff 152 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: had a place in baseball. But it is. It's a 153 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: strange feeling, and it is a strange feeling now around 154 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: baseball because again, going back to those three years, the 155 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: AAV for those three years is irrelevant. I don't who cares. 156 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: You get one of the best closes in baseball for 157 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: three years when the mark you thought the market was 158 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: dictating four or five and clearly the Dodgers and the 159 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: Mets both signified yeah, will make him the highest AV 160 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: closer by a lot. Don't care, It doesn't matter. It's 161 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: just the fact that that's where it ended. It seemed 162 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: to end someone abruptly is painful, especially like I don't know, 163 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: like we get a little nostalgic by Edwin Diaz asn't met. Now, 164 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: give me like one more minute of just being like 165 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: this is also a really bad look for the front 166 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: office to lose everyone, to lose Edwin Diaz by three 167 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: million dollars, Like whether or not you had the opportunity 168 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: to go back or not, Like you probably had an 169 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: idea what the offers were gonna be and you were 170 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: not the highest bidder. I understand you don't want to 171 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: bit against yourself. That's bad practice, but like, give him 172 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: the what did you want, Edwin? What did you want 173 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: to come back? Unless he lied to them, Yeah, whether 174 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: he were just taken the Mets next offer and got 175 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: back to Dodgers, or whether if he didn't even want 176 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: to hear the Mets next offer because Dodgers said this 177 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: is best and final. If you go back to the 178 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: Mets were not beating it, How that makes you feel 179 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: even worse? But that I think that's what I'm getting 180 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: out here. I'll say this out of all things, and 181 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: I think people are gonna hate me for saying this. 182 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: I'm not mad at Edwin Diaz. I never get mad 183 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: at the player for this kind of No. Of course, 184 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: get what you want, get your bag, gets what you want, 185 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: go win. But like from the Mets side, the front office, 186 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: this is, this is legitimately the first time I've been 187 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: very disappointed in the Mets front office and David Stearns. 188 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: It does feel like trying to thread the needle again, 189 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: trying to thread the needle. I can understand the fans 190 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: being like, it's Milwaukee Mets. I get it. I totally 191 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: get I know it's not, but I get why people 192 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: would have that feeling because the initial reaction when I 193 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: saw this was like cheap, Mets are cheap. This is 194 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: It is an embarrassing law to lose Edwin dis to 195 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: the Dodgers like this. It's also I think the more 196 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: embarrassing thing is that he didn't want to come back. 197 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: He saw the inside similar to us seeing knowing the 198 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: most about him, we didn't want to offer him a 199 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: fourth year him knowing what the Mets did. I don't 200 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: think he wanted to give us a chance to beat 201 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: because it seems like he just wanted to be a Dodgers. 202 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: Possible agains, very possible if that's his prerogative, like that 203 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: he's the player, he can do that. And I think 204 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: if I don't think he wanted to give the chance 205 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: to Mets to beat because he didn't want to have 206 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: to say no to more money, it's possible that's kind 207 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: of part of it too. Maybe he was just very 208 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: anti deferral. Maybe the Dodgers were like no deferrals and 209 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: the Mets were, and he's like, I want that money. Now. 210 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: Are you positive about no deferrals from Dodgers. I just 211 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: haven't seen a thing about deferrals. I haven't seen deferrals 212 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: mentioned with the Dodgers yet. Obviously they are the kings 213 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: of deferrals, but usually it gets mentioned pretty quickly with them. 214 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: If there are usually I'm assuming there has to be. 215 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: I mean again, maybe I couldn't. Don't want to assume 216 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: as out of you and me, but if there's probably 217 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: some deferrals involved the COT they defer every single contract. 218 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: I know, if Mascarnandis has the ferred money, like maybe 219 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: that's why he went there because they got no deferral. 220 00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: If he's the only guy in the locker room out 221 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: to form that actually be kind of hilarious. I'd find 222 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: the humor in that. But I mean, now you can 223 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: get nostalgic if you want. How how does it feel 224 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: for you personally because you win the number one Edwin 225 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: Diaz hater on the internet, the first for two years 226 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: for two meets nineteen and twenty hated his guns. Yeah, 227 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: and Usci balls, wasn't it. It wasn't fair to him. 228 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,599 Speaker 1: He gave up thirty five home runs a year in 229 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: sixty innings. Like it was like it was May of 230 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: twenty one where you started to finally see the light. Yeah, 231 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: as soon as he stopped giving up a home run 232 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: every time the ball hit the bat, I was like, 233 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: oh shit. But it also came from the fact that 234 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: I was so disappointed because at the time we also 235 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: thought Kellen Nick was gonna be a superstar. We also 236 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: were like Robinson Cano fucking stinks, Like this guy also stinks. 237 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: It's so funny to have all these names get thrown 238 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: back into this. And that trade happened like the same week. 239 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: I apprecure that it was a Winter meetings deal as well. 240 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: Back for some Bautista going over. It wasn't was Jay 241 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: Bruce your boys Swarzak was in the deal. Well, that 242 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: was one good thing, get rid of that loser. But like, 243 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: I was upset with Diaz when it started because he 244 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: was supposed to be like the piece and he came 245 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: and he's stunk. But we know why he stunk because 246 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: they were using juiced baseballs. As soon as those were gone, 247 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, this guy's unbelievable. And literally, 248 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: I'll even say this, since twenty twenty two, has been 249 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: the best closer in baseball. I think we could say that, 250 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: and maybe number two at worst. Besides, he ripped his 251 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: knee in half, but that's not that doesn't make my worst. 252 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: I got there was a funny sweet for my guy, 253 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: Mikey MJD Analysis does some work for Baseball Perspectus, and 254 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: he was like, you're not allowed to be sad about 255 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: the said min Daz contract if you didn't still believe 256 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: in him after twenty nineteen. Fair. I'm just I don't 257 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: mean that, but I just thought it was funny. It's 258 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: funny to think about Edwin Diaz his ten years and 259 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: met like it's it's kind of crazy think about like 260 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: the level of star he became, the way that we 261 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: did all the trumpet stuff, and that kind of changed, 262 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: and we did the trumpets against the Dodgers. Remember that 263 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: was Timmy trumpets was on the God damn Timmy realized 264 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: that fucking Timmy Trumpet Turst God, God damn Timmy trumpets. 265 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: And like I know that we had like enter sam 266 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: Man and then and we had Hell's Bells like back 267 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: in the day with Hoffmann and Mariano. But then those 268 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,599 Speaker 1: we're talking about Royan Helsley first, no, no, no, I 269 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: was never ever ad but you should beleeve that out 270 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: and yet but I felt like that was kind of huge. 271 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: Closer addresses faded for a while for like fifteen to 272 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: twenty years, and Edyone's kind of brought them back now, 273 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: like every reliever has to have one. Now it's like 274 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: the cool thing to have one, Like yeah, like our 275 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: bad set up man had one, Like Felix Boutista came 276 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 1: out to like a great wire, right, yeah, the wire, 277 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: Omar Whistle, John Durance is all like this. Edwards the 278 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: white Horse thing going on. Edward Diaz became such an 279 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: incredible star with this team, and it worked out so 280 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: well with how good he became. Once he did again 281 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: the juice ball thing happened, he fixed the command, and 282 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: then it's and then just even coming off the Buck 283 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: interview on Foul Territory last week when he said that 284 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: the team knew their season was over when Edwin ds 285 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: torrip is knee in the World Baseball Classic, Which whatever 286 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: you want to say about Buck Showalter, that's that's bad 287 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: on him and to let to let your team fall 288 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: apart because of the closer. But I think that just 289 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: goes to show like the magnitude that this guy had 290 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: in this clubhouse, Like it's I do wonder about what 291 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: the players on the Mets are thinking right now, because 292 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: I would I would love to know what Francisco no, yeah, 293 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: check if you see some stories right now. Somebo I 294 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: think that there's a big disconnect in the analytics world 295 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: about like the value of these relievers and closers between 296 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: them like executives and the players. When you talk to 297 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: players and they're like, yeah, we have our ninth inning guy, 298 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: like there's such a there's such an excel such a 299 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: feeling of relief when they know for sure, like someone's 300 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: getting the ball in the ninth inning and the game's over, 301 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: verus like we're going to have to shake our way 302 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: through this, and you see this team rallied around him 303 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: so much, again evidenced by the fact that buck Shoulder, 304 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: that a closer got hurt. Our season was over crazy, 305 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: which is just crazy to say that ever out loud. 306 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: Ever you have to you have to beat that sentence 307 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: out of me. If that was the Bets manager, how 308 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: we need to do a bad look for the manager. 309 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: It's over. I would need to be tortured to have 310 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: said that if I was Buckshaw Walter tortured with weapons. 311 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: But it's again, it goes to show what he held. 312 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: I think the players like they love the truth. I 313 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: think at times they love the trumpet shit like they 314 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: you know what else? I think they really love what 315 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: so goddamn good he comes back to you talking about 316 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: it comes over. It's over. The game's over Edwin Diaz 317 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: after twenty twenty was just nails. He had a period 318 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: of time which by the way, people saying like he's 319 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: been incon systant or whatever. It's like, are we on 320 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: the same fucking planet? Like he had like one bad 321 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: month and people are like inconsistent. His era went from 322 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: one to five to three one year. This guy, I 323 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 1: don't know if he's the most consistent closer, he's not 324 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: that good. I'm like, are we have we lost the plot? 325 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: And that's kind of what I feel like about this 326 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 1: whole move is from both sides. Have we lost the plot? One? 327 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: Are we overreacting to not having a closer? Two? Have 328 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: we lost the plot? And that we should have just 329 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: paid him what he wanted to be a New York 330 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: met It is funny that if you think about Edmund 331 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: Diaz's twenty twenty four season, it wasn't that dissimilar from 332 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: Devin Williams's twenty twenty five season, right, ish, I mean 333 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: it was ish. It was a difference of like five 334 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: earned runs. Yeah, but go and that's like what we 335 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: saw from the Mike Petriel apiece about how all those 336 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: runners that he left on base scord it was a three, 337 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: five ors four or five VR. Right. Yeah, in real 338 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: baseball that means a lot, but in reliever baseball it's 339 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: not that different. I also think like the difference to 340 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: that is Edwin Diaz blew the games at the end 341 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: of the game, so there was no one else that 342 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: could come in and let the other runners that he 343 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: let on, where Devin Williams a piction like the seventh 344 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: lost he lost his job. Yess a different thing, but 345 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: so bad that year that ed couldn't quit him, but 346 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: he shouldn't have either. We also knew it was just like, 347 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: this is clearly a guy coming back from blowing out 348 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: his fucking knee, for sure. And I do think that 349 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: that is why we're so much more okay with what 350 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: it was in Edward Mets tenure inconsistencies. But they're all 351 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: very easily explainable. We can build the narratives around them 352 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: were and we wind up being fine with all of 353 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: them because the two seasons around the inconsistencies, including the 354 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: one we just saw, still one of the best relievers 355 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: in baseball, and even still that bad year, he still 356 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: struck out what like thirty six percent of the guys 357 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: that came to the place. He's always gonna do that 358 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: thirty nine percent, Yes, thirty five percent, but it's it's 359 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: I do think that the hardest part of this whole thing, 360 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: the pill for me to swallow, is that it seems 361 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: like Edwin Diaz didn't really want to be a met 362 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: above all else. Yeah, that and they didn't now been 363 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Yes, so those two things together. That's where 364 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: it's It kind of is like, well, stab, here's the 365 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: other thing that's really that's terrifying the shit out of me. One, 366 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz was so good against the Phillies they couldn't 367 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: touch we like the games were over when Edwin DS 368 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: came in against the Phillies. Bryce Harper, I feel like, 369 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: has never gotten a hit against Edwin DS. This is possible. 370 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: Do you ever do when Kyle Schwarber couldn't touch him? 371 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber's back with the Phillies now after twenty nineteen, 372 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: after twenty nineteen, like they couldn't touch him after twenty nine. Well, 373 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: James Seer is gone, Yeah, thank god. So I'm saying 374 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: yeah getting that there, Like, how how do we get 375 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: the Phillies out at the end of the game. And 376 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: then also at the same time, like what's this bullpen look? Like? 377 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do? That's the part that's really 378 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: important now because it seems like we did have We 379 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: did prioritize Edwin DS. We were going after him the 380 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: met the best case scenario for this bullpen was Edwin 381 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: DS and Devin Williams. I did think that that was 382 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: the plan that was the plan. It still seemed like again, 383 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: once you did sign Devin Williams, you didn't have Maybe 384 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: he was like, fuck, these guys are giving Devin Williams 385 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: just that bad year, the same kind like a similar contract. 386 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: To me, honestly, could be that too, Like my big 387 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: brain play might have backfired on the Mets where they 388 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: gave Devin Williams all that money, bumped him up to 389 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: get more, even more, and then all of a sudden 390 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: he's like, Devin Williams got that, and you're only offering 391 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: me an extra two to three million a year. I 392 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: do think though players around baseball definitely clearly the executive 393 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: around baseball definitely still respect the shit out Devin Williams 394 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: as a relief pitcher. There's definitely no doubt about that. 395 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: I think the Mets got like a very unique hodgepodge 396 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: of anti Devin Williams over the past year because one 397 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: PTE hit the home run off him, two he bombed 398 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: into one year at the Yankees. So I do think, 399 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: like all of those things happening together, Mets fans uniquely 400 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: might be the franchise that had the worst purview of 401 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: Devin Williams of any fan base in the entire league, 402 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: which think is kind of a funny concoction for us. 403 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: It's also just it's just a hard pill to swallow 404 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: knowing that Spoolpens sucked last year, was best sucked, and 405 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: we had arguably the best reliever in baseball. Now we 406 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: get a guy who's coming off of the worst season 407 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: of his career, paid him all this money, and we 408 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: still don't know who's gonna even get the ball to him. 409 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: We have no idea again like that, it does seem 410 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: like we're going to now prioritize Robert Suarez for better 411 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: or worse, Like that's going to be something there. We 412 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: had the Trevor mcgil rumor last night. I'm sure the 413 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: Mets are going to be chatting up every single team 414 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: right now for a relief pittcher, because you need your rebay, 415 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 1: you need you need three relievers in this bullpen right now, 416 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 1: they need a hundred like and like again, we believe 417 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: in Devin Williams that he's gonna be able tour around. 418 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: There's so world where he still gets fucking tattooed. Again, 419 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: he didn't. He didn't get tattooed last year. It was 420 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: singles true but yeah, there's a world with Devin Williams 421 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: isn't one of the five disclosing base and that's a 422 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: problem for the Mets. It's a huge problem to the 423 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: top five. There's a chance that Edwin Dias was a 424 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: more sure thing next year than Devin Williams for sure. Also, 425 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: like the Mets might have seen edwind he has his 426 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: knee over these past two years and been like, damn 427 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: if you never get to ninety eight again. It's like 428 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: maybe you maybe we don't see him as different than 429 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: Devin Williams, And the Mets might have think they just 430 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: got a better reliever for a five million unless a year. 431 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: I can't think that. I don't think they can think 432 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: of that. And with the AAV after the deferrals like 433 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: eight million, nine million, few were a year. It's just 434 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: I hate it. I hate this. I hate today. Today 435 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: is a terrible day, awful day. There's a crazy day. 436 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: I was dog saying today the second I left my 437 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: house so that the said DS thing happened, like you 438 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. And James are getting ready to 439 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: record the Kyle Schwarber video for the wind Up. James 440 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: leaves immediately like we see Kyle Schwarber signs for the Phillies, 441 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: then Edwin d signs ten minutes later. I'm like, this 442 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: is what a bad day for the Mets. Kyle Schwarber 443 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: doesn't pick the Mets, goes back to the Phillies. Although 444 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: we always knew that was gonna happen. We've been said 445 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: that in earlier today when you guys are listening, and 446 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: then Diaz is like, what if I go to the Dot? 447 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: That's the other thing to Dot. That's the worst part, 448 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: the worst part the Dodgers, man, they had one weakness 449 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: and it's it's gone. It's gone gone. It's like there's 450 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: also they were the only other option at all, like 451 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: in the Blue Jays. I think I think the Blue 452 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: Jays too, but it seems like the Blue Jays are 453 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: like zeroing out on Kyle Tucker. So I don't think 454 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: you spend Yeah, which is the right decision for them, 455 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: that's what they need. But it's like it's it's painful 456 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: that you just didn't have the best and you didn't 457 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: have the opportunity for the final offer. I still can't 458 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: figure out which one of those is worse all they're both, 459 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: they're one A one B and I don't know. They're 460 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: one A in one A they're the exact same. They're both. 461 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: Oh bad, It's so bad. This is terrible. I can't 462 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: This also feeds into all the idiots nonsense too. We 463 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: have to hear that more. And I'm kind of in 464 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: it right now. Oh ya, You're like, I'm trying. We're 465 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 1: trying to find a guy who did this right now. 466 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: I know it's terrible. This is this is the beginning 467 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: of a defining moment now for the front office David Stearns, 468 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: because he's he's officially even more on the hot seat 469 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: than he was. I still don't think he's anywhere close 470 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: to the real life hot seat. I think the fans 471 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: will think what the fans think. But I do think 472 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: that if Devin Williams crashes and burns, which I don't 473 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: think is likely, but of course anything is possible if 474 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: he had if he blows, if he blows, if he 475 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: blows a Savan April. Yeah, if he blows a game 476 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: in the first week Pitchforks, people are gonna be people 477 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: are gonna be literally hunting down David Stearns. Which is 478 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: also funny because when you signed players for big money, 479 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: Steve Cohens, the Mets didn't give enough money David Stearns' fault. Yeah, exactly, 480 00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: A good point right there. There's also I got it 481 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: text from a fellow Mets fan I would like to 482 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: keep anonymous. I know he listens to this podcast when 483 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: I reveal it, but he said tears were shed. And 484 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: then in a group chat of his he's with a 485 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: Dodgers fan and the Dodger fan goes, damn, doesn't this 486 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: guy blow out a lot of saves? Actually, so again, 487 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: I think this is a weird Hodgepod situation where in actuality, 488 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: the closer in terms of the whole baseball team means 489 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: less than most of the other positions players. Well, that's 490 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: where I'd like to take this conversation is because yes, 491 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: one hundred percent right now. For the Mets, it's a 492 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,239 Speaker 1: little bit different because they don't have any bullpen. They 493 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: have one bullpen arm. That's it. There's one guy. We 494 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: got three Oh Williams mentor Raley. Oh, Raley's back. Yeah, 495 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: Raley's back. I didn't realize that. I didn't realize that. 496 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: So we got three. Okay, they have three arms, none 497 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: of them that are even close. Sad when das and 498 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 1: this is something now that I'm going to be looking at. 499 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: The Met's hard to try and do something about when 500 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: you have a bullpen that's headed by Devin Williams. The 501 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: one thing that was the most critical about Devin Williams 502 00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: at that three year deal, even though I still think 503 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: he can and the top endcloser in the league, is 504 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: that he just doesn't throw hard. I am, I am 505 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: absolutely a favoritist with relievers and gas gas. And now 506 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: we saw it our top three guys, we don't have 507 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: any gas. We have a gasless team right now. We 508 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: don't had and we went gas last year, which maybe 509 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: that's also bad. Maybe, but like now, I think I 510 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: see them as prioritizing Robert Suarez now or Trevor McGill 511 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: in the trademark at four gas, like now we need gas, 512 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: did not have gas? Is I think bad? Yeah, this 513 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: is this money that you didn't give to Edwin Diaz 514 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: now because theoretically Mets just said we have another sixty 515 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: six million, we have no problem spending probably seventy million 516 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: dollars minimum that we are going to spend now on bullpen. 517 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: Because that's what it signals to me is they had 518 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: seventy million dollars minimum that they want to spend on 519 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: the bullpen for Edwin, not for bullpen. Edwin is a 520 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: tier above even I think still Robert Swarez, Oh no, definitely, 521 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: Pete Fairbair No, no, no, I'm not saying for one player. 522 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: I'm saying, you can get this guy for eight, you 523 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: get this the guy for eleven, you get against the 524 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: guy for six. Sure, but I'm saying I don't think 525 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: that that budget was earmarked for bullpen. I think that 526 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: budget was earmarked for Edwards. Okay, well, I hope it 527 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: is earmarked for bullpen. Because we need we need more, 528 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: We need way, way, way more arms. They have to 529 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: get creative. They have to go out and either sign 530 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: some guys or trade for some guys, like sooner than later. Suddenly. 531 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: Of all the three main position groups on the Mets lineups, 532 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: rotation bullpen is rotation the one that I have more 533 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: de least about improving at the given moment and the 534 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: way it currently stands, the way all three currently look. Yes, 535 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: saying that the lineup is still I think number one. 536 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,239 Speaker 1: I think that's bad. The line's horrendous right now. If 537 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: like it's Francisco Lindora and Juan Soto. Like, that's pretty 538 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: much it right now in this lineup. So they need 539 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: some bats for sure. But bullpens too. Bullpen's definitely too. 540 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter. If the starters go seven innings 541 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: every game and and give up two runs, the bullpen's 542 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: gonna blow it. The way it is right now, bullpen 543 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: is bad. The Philip Rivers just signed with the Cults 544 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: just to make the Philip Rivers signed with the Colts, Yeah, 545 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: just to make this. How old is he? That's insane. 546 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: He's been played in like three Okay, not important, not important. Also, 547 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: let's think about the fact that Edwin he has opted out. 548 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: He still had two more years at fifty something millions, 549 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: but basically it was like a one it was a 550 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: one year extra that he opted out for. Yeah, that 551 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: part sucks too, That does suck. I think that Yeah, 552 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: maybe damn, oh damn sucks. But again, this this is 553 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: a unique emotional stew for US Mets fans because I 554 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: think we all loved Edwin d I think we loved 555 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: the redemption that he had, and I think we loved 556 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: the whole way that his like his being in his sense, 557 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: I kind of took over like a big culture element 558 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: of this team, Like he was the biggest, one of 559 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: the biggest stars on this team for the last few years. 560 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: And this is also a reckoning from how this obscene 561 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: has begun and now I don't know what's gonna happen 562 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: with be Alonzo. I think he has to be back. 563 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: He has to be shout out to Como back in 564 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: the left first dad offs being I think it's a 565 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: much better chance Lonzo's back than DS we were, like 566 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: it was totally the opposite. Yeah, right, Tacombo's got fucking 567 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: chattered still, Maddin, shame on us. People are going to 568 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if the people who I mean people 569 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,479 Speaker 1: gonna lose their minds. Pan is not that next they 570 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: have to re sign Pete a lot. He has to 571 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: be back. Also, like the Schwerber contract definitely helps Pete. Right, 572 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: five for one fifty definitely helps Pete a lot with 573 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: what he's trying to get. I think it's pretty average 574 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: for Pete. You don't think that helps him. I think 575 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: the league just get they just gave like that's almost 576 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: like to Pete. It's like, hey, DH thirty million dollars 577 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: a year for five years to only hit. If you 578 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: only hit, we'll give you twenty seven a year. I 579 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: think the league thinks Shwarp has bet than Pete clearly. No, 580 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: of course he is a better hitter right now saying that, 581 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: but I'm saying Pete gets a little bit less on 582 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: the AAV For the five years, he probably gets to 583 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: a number that he's not reaching right now. I think so. 584 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: But I think that I think that Sharp is just 585 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: eighty or above Pete. I think that he's last year. 586 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: I think the league likes him more. Yeah, I guess 587 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the league likes him more. 588 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: But we can debate about which of those two players 589 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: you'd rather have for the next four. I think they will. 590 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: No chance Peak gets five years, truthfully, Okay, I think four. 591 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: I think the fact that the has only got three. 592 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: I know it's crazy that Diaz only got three. It's 593 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: really the way that these are, these front offices, everyone 594 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: thinks exactly the same is crazy. It's kind of like 595 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: a scary nuts. It's kind of a scary thing about 596 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: like Louis where the future Baseball's going is that It's 597 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: like the differences between these deals was like a million 598 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: per and we don't know how the deferrals even make 599 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: those deals look and you have to incorporate like a 600 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: move across the country. It's like this is it was 601 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: the same, it was a little bit different. It's fucking crazy. 602 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: Damn it, man, this sucks. What a horrible day for 603 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: the Mets. I just the fact that the dodge is 604 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: by far the worst part, and they're so damn good 605 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: to me. It's the worst part is that seems like 606 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: he didn't really want us. I know, he seems like 607 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: he wanted us less than we wanted him. I think 608 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: that's fair that that hurts. Like hell, they all hurt. 609 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: It all hurts, it all doesn't feel good. I don't know, 610 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: you got anything else to talk about here, So we 611 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: just had a brain blast. I don't know where this 612 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: is cutting in, but it's cutting in at some point. 613 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: Remember when Adam Modovino said those comments about Carlos Mendoza 614 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,719 Speaker 1: handling the bullpen and how I rate he got at 615 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: Mondovino is one of the most chill guys ever. Does 616 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: this have something to do with it too? Maybe because 617 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: we also got the report from Havy Mistraco from the 618 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: Daily News that the feeling in the Mets shocked. Since 619 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 1: Edwin he has indicated to them he wanted to come back, 620 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: and then of course playing off the news that the 621 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: Mets told him there was more to come back to 622 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: beat the final offer, and he didn't give the Mets 623 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: a chance to come back. So maybe Diaz just was 624 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: like two of these piece out. I have the transcript 625 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: of without a Vino said, if you want me to 626 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: read out real quick, it's kind of long. I'm gonna 627 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: rip through it. This is you guys, not a fast 628 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: like a talk. And this is the other issue. And 629 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: this is something that really upsets me deep in my 630 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: soul because man, I've talked with every single one of 631 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: these guys. A boy having to take control over their 632 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: own career because the team is not going to keep 633 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: them healthy. First off, I'm just taking control over your 634 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: own career. You know, Hey, do that you pick where 635 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: you go? Yeah, at big, big point right there, they 636 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: need to find a way to keep themselves healthy. McGill 637 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: goes down, Garrett goes down, Krannic goes down, Dan Neil 638 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: Nutiez goes down, Danny Jung goes down. All time of 639 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: John's not to mention Drew Smith, who also was like 640 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: peace out guys, yea, And then there were reports that 641 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: maybe he wasn't healthy. Drew Smith was instagram said I'm healthy, 642 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: rarely had the time of John. It's just too many injuries. 643 00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: They have to figure out something, whether it's the protocol 644 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: as to way Carlos uses these dudes so haphazardly, whether 645 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: they even care about keeping guys healthy or not. They 646 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: need to be better than this. This is embarrassing. This 647 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: is actually pathetic, like really pathetic. I would never let 648 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: this happen. And this is Adam Laveno is chill now 649 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: he's bubbling. I would never let this happen. If I 650 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: was on the team last year, at least half of 651 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: these guys would not have blown out. I would have 652 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: protected these dudes myself. I would have had to jump 653 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: in front of them myself. Unfortunately, there was nobody willing 654 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: to stand up and talk to Carlos this year. It 655 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: was just me. I guess so a little bit of 656 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: an issue there, and they continue down this path, They're 657 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: going to be f ucked. He's spelled it out, because 658 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: you could not injure this many dudes every year, and 659 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: hopefully this is not their actual strategy. Because's freaking pathetic. 660 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: It's not player friendly. Eventually people will catch on and 661 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: it's funny because they are bragging about keeping people healthy 662 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: the year before when it had nothing to do with them. 663 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: So yeah, I am a little annoyed because these are 664 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: the guys that should be playing and it pisses me off. Yeah, 665 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: I wonder, I wonder if that has anything to do 666 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: with it. Again, we don't have any proof, but this 667 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: is just hearing that, hearing all the Das stuff. Those 668 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: guys were teammates for years. The guys were teammates. It 669 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: is interesting and again for Adam Outavino to get irate 670 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: takes a lot. That guy like openly loves listening to 671 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: low fi hip hop. It's his favorite song, Pay the Mets. 672 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: The podcast figures go every time banger, I wish what 673 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: a banger. People are gonna lose their shit with the 674 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: Devin Williams closer entrance this year. I don't even know 675 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: what it's gonna be the only one doing your research 676 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: to find out, But we'll find out. When we find out. 677 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: We're getting strange breadcrumbs. Now. I do think that we're 678 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: going to keep learning more about the said with the situation. 679 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: It seems like the Mets might have feel like they 680 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: were led astray a bit so funny if this happening 681 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: the same day that Stephen matt signs when twenty twenty 682 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: one is exactly how that happens. So whether or not 683 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: you think that we just ended the Steve Matts continuum 684 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: and now the Mets are letting free agents get letting 685 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: themselves get that a bit for free agents, or there's 686 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: gonna be the second coming of the Steven Matts. I 687 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: don't even know what to call it. A referendum rampage. Yeah, 688 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: I like referendum. Yeah, this is weird because it's so 689 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: shocking how quickly this happened, and then the fact that 690 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: we did get those worst mat of on of you 691 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. A lot of things about read 692 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: the tea leaves. All right, I guess this will be 693 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: the end, right maybe or just or back to the 694 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: episodes or back to the episode. Also could be back 695 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: to the end. Don't know what it's gonna sound like 696 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: or look like, but here you go. No, that's that's 697 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: it for now. Alright, guys, that's it. Let us know 698 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: how you're feeling. We'll see you soon. I'm not even 699 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: doing a fun outro. We're amending it by see you guys. 700 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: Let's go Mets.
