1
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: What is up, Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: of the Mets Stuff Podcast. It is officially baseball season.

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: We had one of the worst Super Bowls ever experienced.

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: It was absolutely terrible Eagles win. We don't care. It's

5
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: onto baseball season. The Mets simply had one of their

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: best offseasons ever. So we came up with a very

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: cool idea, and that idea is going to be what James.

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: What we did is we're gonna try and project the

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: Mets roster out five years and twenty thirty. So we're

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: going way past that. We're going free agents, we're going trades,

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: we're going prospects, anything that we think this Mets roster

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: can look like.

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 3: We wanted to do this a way they kind of

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 3: close the offseason, close the book because.

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 2: While pitchers and catchers are reporting today or to two

16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: days whatever sometime Earli this week, there's not to talk

17
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: about yet, and so these guys actually get there and

18
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 2: we can actually have some father and have some things

19
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: that's going on. So this is how we're putting a

20
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: bow in the offseason. Probably the best Mets offseason we've

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: ever experienced, at least you and I, Mark and are

22
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: in our generation of Mets fans, So you guys enjoy

23
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: our predictions for the roster in twenty thirty.

24
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's have some fun a little bit of

25
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: a different video and episode today. We're gonna be predicting

26
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: the Mets twenty six man roster five years from now.

27
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: That's insane to say. Twenty thirty, we're gonna be going

28
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: through literally every single player that we think is on

29
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: the major league roster in the year twenty thirty for

30
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: the New York Mets. On opening Day, me and James

31
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: both made our own list. We both made our own teams.

32
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: Both gave some different reasoning. I can't wait to see

33
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: what you have on yours, because mine right now, truthfully

34
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: and honestly, it feels insane. I looked at my lineup,

35
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: so I looked at my pitching. There's this is nonsense.

36
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: At this point.

37
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: My team's fantastic. But I definitely still had some thoughts

38
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: about some money stuff, some about what David Sarn's like,

39
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: stuff like trying to be somewhat realistic, trying not to

40
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: go over like three hundred and fifty ish million dollars

41
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: in salary, but also while still having a ridiculous amount

42
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: of fun in the process.

43
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't really think about money. I went full

44
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: vibes and guys that I want on the team, and

45
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: I think the Mets should be interested in will be

46
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: interested have a good chance to get So where do

47
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: you want to start off, James, pitching or hitting? Where

48
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: do you want to go first? We're gonna we're gonna

49
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: break it up. We're gonna do starting pitchers, relievers, and

50
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: then like lineup, So where do you want to go first?

51
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: I think you should go line up first and jell

52
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: just like painting a picture for everybody. The only Mets

53
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: currently right now on the team that will be under

54
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: contract technically in the year twenty thirty, not saying these

55
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: guys are definitely going to be on our teams with

56
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: the guys who will be under contract for sure are

57
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: Francisco lindor Brandon Demo Wan So though any of the

58
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: prospects that haven't debuted yet, luisn Helicunya and that is

59
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: that's it?

60
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that uh yeah, you know you're right, You're definitely

61
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: right at the catcher position. Got two catchers on this roster.

62
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm still thinking Francisco Alvarez is gonna be a catcher

63
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: for the New York Mets in twenty thirty, So I

64
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: put him on there, and then my backup catcher I

65
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: went with Ronald Hernandez. I just had to find someone

66
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: who I think is gonna be able to be a

67
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: backup catcher in free because I think the rest of

68
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: this roster's gonna be loaded with money.

69
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: I was going back and forth by Francisco Alvarez because

70
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: this will be one year after he's he can become

71
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: a free agent.

72
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: We all know what's gonna happen with Alvarez.

73
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: There has been way too many rumors about him with

74
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: his his his contract and never never forget them.

75
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: What's his name? Was the reporter Patro Gomes, No Hector Gomas,

76
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: Hector Gomes.

77
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Petrock Gums rest in peace. But just about that.

78
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 2: But I still feel like for the squealver is gonna

79
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: grow into someone who's more of like more of like

80
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: a face of this franchise in a way. Maybe not

81
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 2: the best player in the team, but he's someone who

82
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: just has such an emotional like stranglehold on these guys

83
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 2: in this club pass that he's going to be a guy. Yeah,

84
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 2: So you have him as our catchers I have for

85
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: squealdver as the catcher and then a backup catcher have

86
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: a battle.

87
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: We're gonna go on the spring training year of the battle.

88
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: Don't know he's gonna win it yet, but it's gonna

89
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: between Ronald Hernandez and Jovanni Rodriguez catchers.

90
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: Hernandez will be older.

91
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: I think he'll probably be the backup catcher of the

92
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: year before and you switch hither, but not exactly sure.

93
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: The defense translates where Jovanni Rodriguez the bets big international

94
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: free agent signing from last year twenty twenty four. He

95
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: had like an okay time at DSL. He wasn't dominant.

96
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be really good on defense. A

97
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: lot of people rave about the arm and the pop time,

98
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: so I think he has a twenty three year old

99
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 2: then or a twenty two year old then could jump

100
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: in try to be the backup to what will be

101
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: about twenty seven year old versus Kaual Forarez.

102
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: Which is really funny that you're saying it this way

103
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: because I we're singing with those two guys as well,

104
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: Like that's who I was between, and I was like, well,

105
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: he'll be twenty two, give him a chance to get

106
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: work it out in triple A and he could take

107
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: over the backup spot from Ronald Ornandez if need be

108
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: all right, the big one here, first base? Who'd you

109
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: go out? First base?

110
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: James, I feel like we're probably be in the same

111
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: here both of Vladimir Gerra Junior.

112
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 1: Vlad Gerro Junior.

113
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

114
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: I mean, if he hits the market next year, it

115
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: seems like the Mets should be at least one of

116
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: the three favorites to sign Blad Junior.

117
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: And I think it's interesting that I know that there's

118
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: been some rumors Ben Nicholson Smith has been reporting to

119
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: Blue Jayson Vladder trying to find common ground and extension.

120
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: But there was nother report that came out.

121
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: And I don't think that could know when this coming out,

122
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: but we never recording is definitely after all the Rookie

123
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: Sasaki stuff that happened, and I know there was a

124
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: report that the Blue Jays sent a triumviran of superstars

125
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: in Bobashett, Dalton Varsho and Chad Green to try and

126
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: recruit Rookie Sasaki. Really interesting, it wouldn't be blag Gerrero

127
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: Junior but I think it makes sense given the fact

128
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: that they don't really seem to be close to a

129
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: contract EXTENTSI with him, and if he hits the open market,

130
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: I think that the Mets, David Cer and Steve Cohen,

131
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: I think they're very, very, very concerned with bringing him

132
00:04:59,560 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: to Queen's.

133
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talk about all the time that the Mets

134
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: and David Stearns will be taking shots at guys that

135
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: they feel are like the true generational needle movers, and

136
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: vlad Junior is definitely in that in that category as

137
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: well at second base, I am going with Louis on Helicunya, Okay,

138
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm putting him at second base. I'm not ready to

139
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: move Francisco Lindoor off a shortstop just yet. Lindor will

140
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: be I think thirty five thirty six at this point.

141
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: The shortstop in the league.

142
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, though, there are shortstops who can

143
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: play deep into their career, and the thing that makes

144
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor so great is that the glove, the hands

145
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: are just unbelievable. So I think he's still going to

146
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: be at shortstop at this point too. We'll eventually get there,

147
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: but I got Louis on Helacunya at second base will

148
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: be a nice veteran getting ready to get paid. And

149
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: I think the next offseason, yeah, I have.

150
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: For Cisco Indors my second basement. This mostly because I

151
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: made a big move at shortstops. We'll figure that one out. Okay, there,

152
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: But I just think Lindor by the time he's thirty six,

153
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: we know the arm has never been that good, has

154
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: never been a problem for him, but just as he

155
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: gets older, the range has to get worse at some point.

156
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: And I also don't I don't think Lindor has like

157
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: any kind of ego like. I think he'll be very

158
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: willing and understand if there's a better shortstop on the roster,

159
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: which I have when coming up next, I think he'll

160
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: be really ready and really willing to be able to

161
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: move off that position and be ready to be, as

162
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: I've been saying forever, like the wily second baseman who

163
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: hits like twenty nine home runs, steals twelve bags, and

164
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: just turns incredibly silky double plays.

165
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so you got him at second base, third base?

166
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: Where'd you go?

167
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: Third base?

168
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: I went, I think the third base with this team

169
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: is gonna be a little bit platoony as we get

170
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: forward in the future. But the starting third base, I

171
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: think he's gonna better on defense and being the lineup

172
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: every day. But my DH is gonna be able to

173
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 2: mix at the third base. Some guys my bench are

174
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: gonna mix at third base. It's gonna be my guy,

175
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 2: his hues bias. I just think he's gonna make it.

176
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: He's gonna be a big year for him the minor

177
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: league this year. I think he's gonna get up to

178
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: the system. I think he's probably gonna debut not in

179
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six, and I think

180
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: he'll just be like a solid third baseman playing over there.

181
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: Good defense, good arm, good play, discipline, good power, just

182
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: become a solid player the hot corner of there. I

183
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: don't think we don't know we're gonna see all Star.

184
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna see a guy.

185
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: Okay, I win with Elli and Payinya. I'm gonna buy

186
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: the hype. I'm gonna be all over it. He's got

187
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: in the Rafael Devers comp. He's seventeen right now, so

188
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: in five years he'll be twenty two. Great spring training

189
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: in twenty you got he's gonna force David Stearns in

190
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: the Mets to play him at third base on opening

191
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: day in twenty thirty. So I went with Elli and Panya.

192
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: And also because the rest of this roster is gonna

193
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: have such insane amount of money on it, the Mets

194
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: are just gonna need some legitimately free guys, and Ellie

195
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,119
Speaker 1: and Pania rookie year lining up next to Francisco Lindoor

196
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: at shortstop. I don't know if there's a better way

197
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: to let a guy get comfortable at the major league

198
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: level than put one of the best gloves ever next

199
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: to him. I consider Panya as well, but I think

200
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: that he'll probably need one more year in the minors

201
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: because Biazel had a few good years under his belt there,

202
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: and the Mets do have a lot of infield prospects

203
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: that I think will be little ahead of Elli and Pania.

204
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: So if we did, if we did the twenty thirty

205
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: two roster, I probably with Allien Panya there. But because

206
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: I'll be when you know his Bias eventually becomes a

207
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: free agent. That's what that's what his team control will expire.

208
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: But that's why did Bias over Pania there.

209
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: But shortstop. This is where that's where I started to

210
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: have some fun.

211
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: I in twenty thirty, one of my favorite players in

212
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: baseball is going to be free agent, and as Ellie.

213
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: De la Cruz, Oh, we're going to bring him home.

214
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna we're gonna output the Los Angeles Dodgers and

215
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna bring home Ellie de la Cruz in the

216
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: winter of twenty thirty, before the twenty nine, before the

217
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: twenty three of the season. He's the most explosive player

218
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: in baseball. By then, we're gonna see the hit tool

219
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: level out a little bit. He's gonna be ridiculously good. Defend,

220
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: They're still gonna have a cannon for an arm. He's

221
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: still gonna be twenty seven years old.

222
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: He's crazy.

223
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: So for the thirteen year deal, we're eventually gonna sign

224
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: him for I think the first four or five years

225
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: he'll be the short stop and they'll be able to

226
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: figure out who's gonna be short up after him. But

227
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: I have Elie de la Cruiz is the met shortstop

228
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: in twenty thirty.

229
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:19,559
Speaker 3: Nice.

230
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: I like that, guys the Dodgers. If you got keeping

231
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: away from the Dodgers, you have to do it's gonna

232
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: be one of the most critical free agents can be

233
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: us versus them.

234
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: It's so crazy to think about, like just three or

235
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: four years from now, we're gonna be talking about the

236
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: Elie de la Cruz offseason and need to make sure

237
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: the Dodgers don't sign him. Oh my god. Not looking

238
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: forward to that, all right. Moving out to the outfield

239
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: now in left field, I'm keeping it there. It's probably

240
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: the last season of his career. Maybe Brandon Nemo out

241
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: in left field, he's not going anywhere.

242
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: I have the exact same. He'll still be under contract.

243
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: I hate your deal he signed. I think that this

244
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: will be year seven of it. So I just have

245
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: him still being there. And I also love the way

246
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: I feel like brand Nemo's games going to age, just

247
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: because the play, disciplined, the power. He's so smart in

248
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: the outfield. I know the arm is annewable. It's a

249
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: newle now he'll still be a new event. I just

250
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: think he's gonna be like a wily left fielder like

251
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: this could be like what like Moyses Halou was like

252
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 2: for the two thousand and six Mets.

253
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: Or like Nick mark Cakis had been like for his

254
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: entire career, just like an on base guy at that

255
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: point who plays like, okay defense and we'll get on

256
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: base kind of thing. So I like Nimo still being

257
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: a part of it. And again he is under contract,

258
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: so you kind of have to keep him there in

259
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: center field. I went diabolical. Did you go diabolical in centerfield?

260
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 4: No?

261
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: I went diabolical short stop?

262
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: All right, so wait you go with your center field then,

263
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: first my centerfield are very safe things. Carson Bench prove

264
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: himself as the first round pick still be able to

265
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: hang in the outfield, then I think that'll be twenty

266
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: seven to twenty eight years old. This could be the

267
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 2: last or maybe it could be a year or two

268
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: late for him the move off center field. So maybe

269
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: the Mess by this time have found another Jose Siri

270
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: or another or another Harrison Bayer type. I didn't put

271
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 2: one of those in this rosters. I think again, they'll

272
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: be comfortable bench for one more year there. But I

273
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: have benj as a very safe center fielder for this team.

274
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 5: Hey, Valentine's Day is coming up, and we have the

297
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: I like that. That's a good spot. I considered putting

298
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: cars from Ben Jonnisley in center field until I saw

299
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: some guys that are becoming free agents, specifically in the

300
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine offseason, and that is the brother of

301
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Luis on Hellakunya, Ronald Dacunya Junior, Mets centerfielder, twenty twenty

302
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: nine offseason. Everybody circle it. He's gonna be playing right

303
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: next to Wan Soto. He's gonna be with his brother,

304
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: and we know he's gonna resent the Braves for how

305
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: they treated him and how much they screwed him with

306
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: that awful, awful long term contract that he signed. There's

307
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: no way he's going back to the Braves. Absolutely not.

308
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: He just saw Wan Soto get that money. He's gonna

309
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: want to get his and he knows the Mets. He's

310
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: gonna play with his brother. That's all he wants to do.

311
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 3: I'll say I thought.

312
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 2: About Ronald Acunya Junior, but the one thing that pushed

313
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 2: me off is the fact that he'll be thirty by

314
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 2: the time that contracts up. And I don't see Ronaldalcuney

315
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 2: Junior coming off with multiple a celtas still being able

316
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: to hang in center field. His thirties maybe, but also

317
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: why not though, like that to me feels like hangrifey

318
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 2: Junior in Cincinnati, Like just y'all put him in a

319
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: corner for the five. So I'll still he'll still hit well,

320
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: but I can't. I can't see him sticking the center

321
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: field after these crazy injuries. I mean, we'll see, We'll

322
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: see how he plays this year. I got all the

323
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: faith in that knee in twenty thirty. I think it's

324
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: gonna be just fine right field. I think we didn't

325
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: move anybody. Wan Soto, we don't really have to talk

326
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: about that.

327
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't have a moving to DH. I think the

328
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: DH conversation is honestly, I way blown out of proportion.

329
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: And Soto and also it's the fact that like he

330
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: can play DH, so he could dah. Sometimes it's at

331
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: DH every day, like he's fine. I mean, he's he's young,

332
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: he's kid. It'll be thirty one this time, it's fine,

333
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: He'll be okay, geez thirty one. Oh my god. All right,

334
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: who do you have your DH spot? Because I went diabolical.

335
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: I went diabolical DH as well. I think it was

336
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: super diabolical. I went diabolical in the.

337
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: Way I think. I feel like I feel like your guy.

338
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: You guys initials ya, yeah, mine's why Y. Yeah, you're

339
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: not out for us. I just said, give me all

340
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: the Latinos and put Brandon Neimo in left field.

341
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 2: That's it, Okay, So I actually this entire lineup is

342
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: Latino besides Brandon maccarson bench for me. But my DH

343
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: is gonna be the guy who I said was gonna

344
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: mix in a little bit third base. He'll be older

345
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: at this time. He's gonna want to spend his twilight

346
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: years in the place that he really wanted to spend

347
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: his prime.

348
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: It's Carlos Korea.

349
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 2: Carlos Correa at thirty four years old after his vesting

350
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: option with the Twins does not vest because he's gonna

351
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 2: be five hundred and seventy five played appearances or a

352
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: top five MVP finish, or a Silver Slugger or an

353
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: LCS MVP or World Series MVP.

354
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 3: None of those are gonna happen. The option won't vest.

355
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: We're pulling him in here on like a two for

356
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 2: forty deal. He's he's like, he's gonna be pretty shot.

357
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: He might be able to play third baseballs or twice

358
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: a week, but that the bat will still be working.

359
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: The planter fasciaies will be fully taken over both of

360
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: those feet. But he's still going to mash and he

361
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: wants to play for Cisco Indoor some point in his career,

362
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 2: and I think they'll be able to line this up

363
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: for the end of Lindor's contract.

364
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: With the Mets.

365
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: I considered Carlos Kray at one point too. I thought

366
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: about him, but yeah, I went Jordan Alvarez. He's a

367
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: free agent. We know the Asters aren't spending money. And again,

368
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: it almost feels like the Mets are gonna have to

369
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: be involved with some of these guys, so the Dodgers

370
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: don't get them.

371
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: So I just to them, Yeah, unless the Yankees went

372
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: went up stepping up to the plate. And then for bench,

373
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: did you do anything crazy on the bench? Would you

374
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: do young guys?

375
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: I had young guys, I'll run through my bench. I

376
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: had Jet Williams as a bench player. I actually think

377
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: he might stick around, just because he has the versatility

378
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: of being able to play the infield and outfield. That's valuable.

379
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: And I think on this team, especially with an aging

380
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: Francisco Indoor, a younger player in like Ellie and Payna

381
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: Nimo could use days off, maybe a Kunya round the

382
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Counya junior in center fields knees aren't doing as well.

383
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: Wan So too and right think Jet Williams just has

384
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: a way to play. Carson bench is also on this

385
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: team on the bench for me, another guy where it's

386
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: like maybe he's it's a passing of the torch eventually

387
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: from Nemo to him as like the everyday white guy

388
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: in left field.

389
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: They'll be like twenty eight at this point. So how

390
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: William Carson bench five years? It's the first round pick

391
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: last year that the con is five years? Oh, I forget,

392
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 2: I'd forget how long five years is. I didn't do

393
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: the math or whatever.

394
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: That one's a mistake. And then Edward Lantigua, that's the

395
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: one I took a shot on, freak athlete, huge dude

396
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: eighteen years old in twenty twenty five, twenty three. I

397
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: think he'll be getting ready to maybe make a shot

398
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: at the starting lineup at some point.

399
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 3: Okay, so I went differently. I had Louis and Helicooney

400
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: on the bench.

401
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be that glue guy, that

402
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: in field outfield guy is going to mix around a

403
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: lot on play and my take for Louis and Helaicune

404
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: has always been the staying pat. It's his ZESTI whit

405
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: Merrifield and I think that that I think w Meryfield

406
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: would have wound up on like a good baseball team,

407
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: he wouldn't have gotten all the playing time he got

408
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: in the middle of his career. For Louis and Helicuni,

409
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: you probably like sneaks his way into three hundred four

410
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: hundred play appearance to steal some bags, hit some singles,

411
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: has some big plays and just has a lot of

412
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: fun and like it becomes the vibe glue guy. But

413
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: everyone around baseball knows that, like he'll get paid and

414
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: probably be like again like a starter adjacent guy because

415
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: he's so versatile but never actually have one position. They

416
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: call zone bench guy. It's gonna be similar vibes Louis

417
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: and Helicunya, but I think more of a bat. One

418
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: of my favorites in the messist in Boston Borrow. He's

419
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: already being ladge for his versatility, being able to play

420
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: three different infield positions.

421
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: He pull love his makeup. He's a good athlete.

422
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: He can hit the ball, all fields like he's He's

423
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: a lefty bat too, which would be someone who could

424
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: mix it well. He's someone who I think winds up

425
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: taking on like what Jeff McNeil's going to be come

426
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: in the next few years, where it's like here's here's

427
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: a lefty bat that can play a couple of different positions.

428
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: He won't be able to pay the outfield. That's why

429
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: we have Louise and Helicunya for But I think Boston

430
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: Borrow will be a nice glue guy for the infield.

431
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: And I did the crazy, crazy, crazy young Latin outfielder too.

432
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: Mine's gonna be Seemo on one. I love he hits

433
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: the piss out of the ball. I don't think he'll

434
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: ever be able to mix it up in center. So

435
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: maybe that was one flaw of this roster not having

436
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: a true defensive center fielder, but maybe Acuni winds up

437
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: finding a home there.

438
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: But that's the bench all the prospects.

439
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I think that's what the Mets are going

440
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: to have to do. Honestly, especially with the way that

441
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: we're building this team. You got to spend some money

442
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: and save it on the bench. Interesting note, neither of

443
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: us have Mark Vientos. He is a free agent, yes,

444
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: during this time, and I don't think he'll be coming back.

445
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: I don't think so either. I think I mean, we're

446
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: getting a taste of it right now.

447
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 2: Again, I don't know when this is coming out, but

448
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: we're gonna taste it with all the p Lots of

449
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: stuff just happened while we're filming. This doesn't seem like

450
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: he's a guy that they wind up blocking up long

451
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:06,359
Speaker 2: term unless.

452
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: He unless he does something crazy, yeah, or.

453
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: Unless unless he becomes like a freak of nature many years.

454
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: Which maybe maybe that's in the cards. He had an

455
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: unbelievable year in twenty twenty four. If he just continues

456
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: on the trajectory of improving amy, he could do some

457
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: crazy stuff. Well.

458
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: Again, that's no disrespect from us. It just seems like

459
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: he's not the kind of guy Davis startin side. An

460
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: extension for twenty thirty will be the first year that

461
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,239
Speaker 2: he is a free agent.

462
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: Yes, And I just was like, I think there'll be

463
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: other guys that they go after at this point, all right,

464
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: So that's our lineup onto the pitching side. This is

465
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: this is where your home is. This where you can

466
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: have some fun. I'm gonna I'm gonna go with I

467
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: did six starting pitchers.

468
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 3: I did too.

469
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: I did because I think, honestly, I think by twenty thirty,

470
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: almost every team's gonna have a six, six man rotation.

471
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: I think it just makes too much sense. Uh, you

472
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: play six games a week, there's really no reason to

473
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: not just have one guy pitch every single day. And

474
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: also that's gonna be a way and owners find a

475
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: way to make pitching cheaper. Is gonna be you actually

476
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: throw less innings because now we have six man rotation

477
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: during a year. But where're gonna say, I feel like

478
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: you had something? No, I was gonna say, I think

479
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: it makes sense. Also, I still have no there's the

480
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: w'll be some reasons in this rotation. I think that

481
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: works as well. Yes, as well so for me, I

482
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: think Brandon sprot and Christian Scott will be a part

483
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: of that rotation in twenty thirty, I think they'll still

484
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: be there. I still think they'll be on their rookie contracts.

485
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: They'll be relatively cheap. I like that Christian Scott will

486
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: be like in his Zach Wheeler kind of pre free

487
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: agency year where it's like, is this gonna be the guys.

488
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna pop off this year. It'll be interesting to watch.

489
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: Brandon Spurt will be there. I also have the Mets

490
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: bringing back David Peterson free agent in twenty twenty seven.

491
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: I really have high hopes from in twenty twenty five,

492
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: not from a necessarily him taking like this huge step

493
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: forward and becoming a pitcher, like that's a frontline starter,

494
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: but I think he might solidify himself as just like

495
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: a very capable, steady major league pitcher. And I think

496
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven, and you're gonna be looking at

497
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: a guy that gives you like one hundred and eighty

498
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: innings a year with a high to mid threes er,

499
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: and you're like, how do we not want to bring

500
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: this guy back on a respectable contract a little bit cheaper.

501
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: I also had the Mets going after another pretty big

502
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: left handed pitcher in twenty twenty seven, by the name

503
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: of Terrek Scooble.

504
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 3: I had him, and I changed it.

505
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that the Tigers aren't gonna be able

506
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: to keep him. I think he's going to get a

507
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: ton of money. And similarly to with going after I mean,

508
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: he's not the same level like going after a Wan

509
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: Soda or going after Vlagria junior. If you look at

510
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: the young pitchers that are available during this time, you're

511
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: not gonna find one that's as exciting or as good

512
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: as Tarek Scooble. So I think that's one of the

513
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: darts that the Mets really go all in on. And

514
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: then two of the back end guys here Cutter Crawford

515
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: is a free agent in twenty twenty nine. I could

516
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: see a guy like him being someone that the Mets

517
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: go for. Just give you some innings, something funky, a

518
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: bunch of different fastballs. We know that the Mets love that.

519
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: And then Jose Budo, he will be in his final

520
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: year of his contract. Throw him as the sixth starter.

521
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: That's really funny because I actually looked at school ball.

522
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: But then he's from California, the Bay Area, so to me,

523
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: he seems like a guy that might be someone who

524
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 2: just takes a bag from the Giants. I have the

525
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: Mets pulling off a major trade for at starting pitcher,

526
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: huge trade for starting pitcher. I think we're gonna wind

527
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: up trading jet. I think we're gona wind up possibly

528
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: trading in Joonah Tong. And I think the guy they're

529
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 2: gonna go after is someone who's gonna be one year

530
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 2: or two years away from pre agency. We're gonna try

531
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: and jump it to get there, and we're gonna miss

532
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 2: out on school Ball. He's probably gonna I don't know

533
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen with Paul Skeens. I think the guy's

534
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 2: gonna want up being met is George Kirby.

535
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: Ooh, okay, So I had George Kirby, but I thought

536
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: we were gonna get him through free agency.

537
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 2: And then I was like, what, yeah, both, What do

538
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: you mean you put both school Ball and Kirby in

539
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: your rotation?

540
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: No? No, no, I had to take I to take

541
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: one out that I was I was like, I'm gonna

542
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: take Kirby out. Yeah.

543
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: So I just think we're gonna pull off a big

544
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 2: trade for George Kirby with like like three is year four,

545
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: his years from now like a year and a half,

546
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: four is pre agent. Then maybe the trade deadline twenty

547
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 2: twenty eight. I think that's gonna be the moment we

548
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: make that move. He just he's he's he's from Rye,

549
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: like he's a New York dude. I think he said

550
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 2: he's grew up a Yankee fan, but I know he's

551
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: also said that he went to the last game in

552
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: Shay Stadium, like he's been around New York lore for

553
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: a long time. I think it's just an absolutely perfect fit.

554
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: I also have Sprote and Christian Scott in rotation. I

555
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: think they'll both just be again on rookie deals be great.

556
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: I have also code that sang as the guy who's

557
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: gonna re up with the Mets. I had thought about him,

558
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 2: I really did. I could see him Twilight and back

559
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: in Japan at that point, I could just see I

560
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: don't think he'll be that old yet, so I think

561
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: he'll still be wanting to with the mess. I think

562
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: he's I think he's just become like kind of a

563
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 2: fault hero with New York and I think that he's

564
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 2: gonna I think he's going to have another few good

565
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: years here so after he deals not up till twenty

566
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: twenty seven. Thank god he didn't. He didn't get the

567
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 2: innings topped out next year. We're so happy about that.

568
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 2: But I think he's give another little three year deal

569
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: after twenty twenty seven to twenty thirty to be his

570
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: last year with the team that he.

571
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: Highlights it and goes back to Japan.

572
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: But past that, I have in the Mets adding two

573
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: more veterans to the staff who will be older. Then

574
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: one will be much more consistent. One's gonna be our

575
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: fun reclamation project, the first one more consistent poaching another Mariner.

576
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: Luis Castillo is gonna come home eventually. He's going to

577
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: be a part of the Dominican Mets as we're going

578
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: to be building them here. And I think he's going

579
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 2: to be thirty seven years old.

580
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 3: He'll be a great veteran.

581
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 2: He'll still be pitching like a three like you know,

582
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: three six, three seven era. It'll just be someone who's

583
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 2: going to be a clubhouse guy, an experienced veteran. Someone's

584
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: coming to the mess to get his ring. And then

585
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: the other guy. I'm have the Mets stealing someone from

586
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 2: the Crosstown Yankees. I think that we're gonna be the

587
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 2: Carlos Rodan reclamation site in twenty twenty nine. That's gonna

588
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 2: be our guy. He's gonna be chastised at the end

589
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: of that Yankee deal. He's always going to be the guy,

590
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: never up the hype. He's going to be the guy

591
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: they're going to talk about that held them back and

592
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 2: like clogged up their payrolls.

593
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: They couldn't them.

594
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't do the things they wanted to. And

595
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: then he's gonna come to the METSAG twenty twenty nine

596
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 2: in his mid mid to late thirties and rediscover his

597
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: career and have a couple of nice seasons for US.

598
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 3: Twenty thirty, twenty thirty one, twenty thirty two.

599
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: All right, I like that. I like where your head's at.

600
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: So that's that's your entire starting rotation.

601
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 3: Then that's my sixth man.

602
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, onto the bullpen. This is where it's gonna

603
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: get just absolutely diabolical. So I'll name the guys that

604
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: are a part of the organization right now that I

605
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: think will be in the Mets bullpen. Dom Hammill I

606
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: think we'll end up being a bullpen on for the Mets,

607
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: one of the last arms out there. But he's going

608
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: to be free, he'll have options. Nolan McLean I think

609
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: will be a high leverage reliever for the Mets by

610
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: twenty thirty. I don't know what the starter path really

611
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: looks like for him right now. I think it's safer

612
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: to say that he could be a reliever, and I

613
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: think that makes sense. I have your boy Nate Doman

614
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: there as well. I have him as just being a

615
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: reliever in this team. I think that might be a

616
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: spot that makes a lot of sense for him. And

617
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: of course our boy friend of the podcast, Ryan Lambert,

618
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: will be the New York Mets closer in twenty thirty

619
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: throws one hundred.

620
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: That's really funny. I had Dome in there and I

621
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: took him out last second. Just he could be involved

622
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 2: in the trade with Joanah Tong and Jee Williams to

623
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: try and try and get them to try and get

624
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 2: George Court, George Kirby, but differently from you, from guys

625
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 2: or the new organization that will be there again.

626
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 3: I still have Ryan Lambert. Of course he's gonna be

627
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: the closer.

628
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 2: He's a monster, eighteen inches of vern one hundred mile

629
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: an hour fastball. We're gonna drink eggs with him when

630
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 2: he gets called up the next two years to the Mets.

631
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: I have Noan McLean also as a high leverage reliever.

632
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: I think that him Tong, some of these guys are

633
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: going to just wind up kind of being twiners. Jonathan

634
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: Santucci as well, Nat dome as well, and some of

635
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 2: them we're gonna find their home, maybe in the back

636
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: of the rotation. Some of them are going to find

637
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: their home as parts of trade, and some of them

638
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: will find their home in the ball.

639
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 3: But I don't know exactly how they're shaking out yet.

640
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 2: But from that group of guys, I think it's gonna

641
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 2: be very fun to have a mix of dudes who

642
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: are just good, have good stuff and good experience and

643
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: can fill multiple roles. And then I have I have

644
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 2: Dadniel Nunia's re upping with the Mets and his contracts

645
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 2: up in four years. I think he's gonna be someone

646
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: who becomes another Fall hero. He's just a really good reliever.

647
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 2: I think gives the hometown discount. And I think that

648
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: we wind up just running out with with Deadniel Nunia

649
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: is like a nice ten.

650
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: Year deal so we could secure as wealth.

651
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 2: And also I have Jose Budo still be in the

652
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 2: ball and being one of the one of the two

653
00:22:59,320 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 2: long men.

654
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: I have this bullpen back way when this happens.

655
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: Okay, now I do have three more spots in this bullpen,

656
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: and these are gonna be guys that are not on

657
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: the team, So first, I'm gonna shout out my boy

658
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: Seth Halverson again. We're gonna get him from the Rockies.

659
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: So free agent in twenty thirty one, we're gonna get

660
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: set Talverson. At some point, if David Stearns is listening,

661
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: he knows we're circling set Talverson twenty thirty, get ready

662
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: for him. We're gonna trade for the Rockies from him.

663
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: Maybe the mon Forts will be smart by that point

664
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: and realize that they should trade people. But we'll see

665
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: what happens there. I think the lefty in the pen

666
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: on Helzerpa from the Kansas City Royals throws like ninety

667
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: six ton of ground balls. Good little pitcher, fun guy

668
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: out there on hell Zerpa will be the free little

669
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: lefty that everybody in the Mets community gets frustrated that

670
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: we signed. And then he ends up being a pretty

671
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: good guy and then sneaky in his twilight coming back

672
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: to the New York Mets at forty years old for

673
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: the bullpen, chasing a ring another one. He wants to

674
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: bring it home. Jacob deGrom, He's gonna throw one more

675
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: year out there. He's gonna give the Mets one more year.

676
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna give him a shot. He's gonna he's gonna finish.

677
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: His I just I can't believe you just said that.

678
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 3: I considered him as well.

679
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 2: But I think there's just no way he ever wants

680
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: to literally just live in New York again, but let

681
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 2: alone play for the Mets. I in very me fashioned,

682
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: I didn't have any left season in his bullpen.

683
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 3: We don't need them, we don't care.

684
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 2: We have explosive fast balls, we have sinkers, we have colors.

685
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: We could do anything we want here. But for guys

686
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: who are not in this organization now, two of them

687
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: are just diabolical, like bizarre shit. And one of them

688
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: is someone who I just I want to save. He's

689
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 2: been one of my favorites forever, to set the man

690
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: this ballpen. Possibly someone's gonna mix in as the closer

691
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: Camillo Doval. I think he's someone that's kind of getting

692
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: lost in the shuffle right now. In his career, he's

693
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 2: lost his command two or three times. He's changed his

694
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,239
Speaker 2: pitch mix around. Sometimes the color and the sinker are

695
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 2: just too dominant. He kind of can't really command them,

696
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: can't corral them. I think he's gonna be free agent

697
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, he might shake loose before then. He's

698
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: someone I'd love to save and bring into the Mets

699
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 2: pitching lab. But hopefully Jeremy have to steal here. Hopefully

700
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 2: Eric Yaegers, we're still saying the same bullshit tropes then,

701
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 2: But he's the guy I want to save and become

702
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: a high level drum this bullpen.

703
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 3: Next two guys are just fuzy is psychotic.

704
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: These are just.

705
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: These are organizations that I think they're going these players

706
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 2: are specifically going to struggle with. And I would like

707
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: to take that one star the onet of trends into

708
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 2: the bullpen. And once someone was just I don't think

709
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: anyone this podcasts ever heard of this other person, but

710
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 2: the guy who I wanted to take as a star

711
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: there and put him in the bullpen. Your favorite Joey Estes,

712
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: Oh geez, Joey Estas has an awesome color and awesome

713
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: sly there and an okay, change up. I want to

714
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: take Joey est tell him you're only throwing that color

715
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 2: in that slyther the change up once in a while.

716
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 3: To the lefties, we're.

717
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: Getting three four more miles an hour in that pitch.

718
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: You're gonna start, You're gonna start really getting to the

719
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: upper nineties. I wanted you sit in ninety five, ninety six,

720
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: touch in ninety seven, and we're gonna turn you into

721
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: a real life reliever.

722
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 3: That's gonna happen.

723
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: And again he didn't throw the color that much, but

724
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: I think that's the pitch he's gonna wind up pushing.

725
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 2: That's something's gonna make him a very good reliever. I

726
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: was trying to find like the next Luke Weaver when

727
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: I was playing this game for myself, because so someone

728
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 2: who just kind of pops out of nowhere. Because I

729
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 2: still believe that even as far as we go here,

730
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 2: David Serans is not gonna be ever giving big money

731
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: to this bullpen. Especially we have like Da Cruz, we

732
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: have like Junior, like your could just paid George kirkb Be,

733
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: Like there's good. There's not a lot of money to

734
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 2: go Around're gonna have to pay Sprotzu you. We're gonna

735
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 2: have to pay Scott soon. We have to be aware

736
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: of this stuff. And the last reliever, this is fully diabolical.

737
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: Zach Maxwell triple a pitch trying the Cincinnati Reds. Maxwell

738
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: throws ninety nine miles an hour complete Chather with a

739
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: wicked slide there. But he's walking about six guys per

740
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: nine inning with the Regi and trip play right now.

741
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 2: And I don't think that the way he pitches, that

742
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: that high riding fastball is gonna play well with the

743
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 2: rets Great America Ballpark. He's gonna be a walking home

744
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: run guy there. We're gonna pick him up off the

745
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 2: scrap heap. We're going to fix him. We're gonna maybe

746
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: give him a new pitch, and we're gonna teach you.

747
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 2: We canna let him pitch and get his fly balls

748
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 2: in city field. He's gonna be a demon middle reliever

749
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 2: for this team, ninety nine miles an hour at twenty

750
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 2: years old.

751
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: I respect it. I mean, listen, it wouldn't be a

752
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: James video if he didn't just pull someone you'd never

753
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: heard of with some cool things going on there. It's

754
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: also funny both of us know Edwin Diaz. I know

755
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: he has the team slash like player option in twenty

756
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: twenty eight, be thirty five years old, but it's funny

757
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: that we're both an agree and so that he won't

758
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: be here past the contract that he currently has with

759
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: the Mets. And it's really nothing against him.

760
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: No, No, we're gonna Ryan Lambert by that he's one

761
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 2: of the best closer in baseb.

762
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 3: We're all set there.

763
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: This is the David Searns hive mind taking over. We

764
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: just know you don't pay these old aging relievers because

765
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: of what they did in the past.

766
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 2: No, I mean this was funny, excis, this was a

767
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 2: really fun thing to like sit down and do think about.

768
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 2: Look at whose contracts are aspiring, look at who go

769
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 2: which players could shake out, trying to find like the

770
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: places on the roster to spend the money and the

771
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: place on the roster like to pull back the prospects

772
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: that we both like, who we think are actually gonna

773
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 2: make it Like this was a fun I like doing this.
