1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: The New York Mets need to sign Kyle Tucker, or

2
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: at least they need to go get somebody to play

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: left field because they just trade Brand Nemo for Marcus SimMan.

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: As you guys know, there's a hole in the left

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: field spot right now. If that is the only move

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: the Mets make, this is a bad offseason. So surely

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: David Searns has to know that as well. And they're

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: gonna be looking for a bunch of options in the outfield,

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: and I think they should be putting their money towards

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker. We've got Cody Bellinger rumors maybe they make

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: a trade for like a Fernando.

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: Tatism and James will leave all stones.

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: Unturned. We won't leave a stone unturned. That's the intro.

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: We won't leave a stone unturned. We'll cover all the

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: possible options that will actually make this team better, or

16
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: guys that we think will make this team better. Before

Speaker 1: without further ado James Kyle Tucker, Right, that's that's the

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: number one guy. It's the number one guy. But I

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: still do think the Mets will be reluctant. I think

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: I don't think any team baseball is going to be

27
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: reluctant to give him the eleven or twelve year deal.

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: It seemed like he was probably going to get as

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: we knew Kyle Tucker's free agency was coming, right, doesn't

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: it feel like that? Yeah, I mean coming into the

31
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: season when he got trade to the Cubs, coming off

32
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: of the weird season he had with the Astros, but

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: we also saw the best numbers he ever put up

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: in a sample where he had the injuries, and before

35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: that he was on an MVP pace with Aaron Judge

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: early on.

37
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: In the season.

38
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: And then this year with the Cubs, it wasn't a

39
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: bad year, but it was a weird season. They had

40
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: the whole injury thing too at the end.

41
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: Of the year with him.

42
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: I think it's just strange that we've had back to

43
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,919
Speaker 3: back Kyle Tucker seasons that I've had this ticky, tacky

44
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: kind of injury, where again it was twenty twenty four.

45
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: It was the shit, it was a hairline fractioning his shit,

46
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: And it was kind of the same thing the Astros

47
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: were they did with Jordanne Alvarez this year, where it

48
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: was like they'll be back in a week, He'll be

49
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: back in two weeks.

50
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: He's testing it today.

51
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker runs the basis you basically had four straight

52
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 3: months of like teeny tiny little updates that truthfully led

53
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: to nothing, and this year it happened again with a

54
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: fracture in the top of his hand. I think it

55
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: was like a little fracture and first half Kyle Tucker

56
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 3: this year was a mega elite player and you only

57
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: get five home runs in the second half wound up

58
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: being so it's like you you see that, and you're like,

59
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: I don't doubt Kyle Tucker's ability in any way, shape

60
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: or form. We're at the same time, why do why

61
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: do weird things keep happening with him?

62
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? See to me, I don't care like I see.

63
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker played one hundred and forty games this year

64
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: and was considered a down year for him, where he

65
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: hit two sixty three seventy four to sixty four slugn

66
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: with eight forty one ops, good for an OPS plus

67
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: at one forty three, stole twenty five bags, hit twenty

68
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: home runs, drove in seventy runs.

69
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 2: At the plate.

70
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Like, that's a bad season for Kyle Tucker. We've been

71
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: accustomed to the thirty thirty, one hundred thirty stolen bases

72
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: a year, nine hundred ops. We saw him do that

73
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: crazy again short stint of seventy eight games in twenty

74
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: twenty five war, whereas OPS approached a thousand on base

75
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: over four hundred. I think as a whole in baseball,

76
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: we're almost looking too much into Kyle Tucker. We just

77
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: recorded a video for the wind Up, not comparing these

78
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: guys at all, but like sometimes we might almost dive

79
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: too deep into the numbers on guys and just be like, wait,

80
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: this is one of the twenty best players in baseball, Like,

81
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: what are we talking about.

82
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: He's gonna be twenty nine years old. He's a good athlete,

83
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: He's really good.

84
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: I think that number you just said is important distinction

85
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: to make one of the twenty best players in baseball, right, Yes,

86
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: is one of the twenty best players in baseball worthy

87
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: of a more than ten year contract that locks him

88
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: into that long for something like forty million dollars annually.

89
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: I think so, I really do, especially in the modern

90
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: way that baseball money is given out, Like if you're

91
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: not gonna give money to top twenty players, you're just

92
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: not gonna sign anybody good. So like, oh, for sure,

93
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: I think this is the going rate. And if you're

94
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: the Mets, who have all the money in the world,

95
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: more money than sitting, like this is the guy don't

96
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: have assid I like Cody Bellinger as a player, and

97
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: that's ultimately who I think the Mets are signing it.

98
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: I actually think there's no way Cody Bellinger is not

99
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: the left fielder for this New York Mets team in

100
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six onward. But it just feels like Kyle

101
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: Tucker is just such a better player, and to me

102
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: feels a little short sighted. I think to go Bellinger

103
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: because the defense is much better.

104
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: But we know bat rules all and.

105
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: If you can hit like Kyle Tucker, that will outweigh

106
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: any defensive inefficiencies.

107
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: You see.

108
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: I really think there's there's not much a chance to

109
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: the Mets signed either of them unless they get the

110
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: deal that they want. Like, if it's Kyle Tucker, did

111
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: you really see the Mets paying a billion dollars their

112
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: corner outfielders over the next ten years?

113
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? Why not? Steve CON's insane. I think that part

114
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: is true.

115
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: But we just traded Brandon Emo, right, And the big

116
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: reason we traded brand Nemo is because the contract he

117
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: was Oh the fact that we were at a spot

118
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: with Brandon Nemo where you were getting very little defensive

119
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: value and the bat was the t rating to the

120
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 3: point where you couldn't even really fath in the fact

121
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 3: that he's going through worth twenty million dollars a year.

122
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: Of course, the Rangers took that bet. We have rehash

123
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: that trade.

124
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: We'll probably give some more tidbits about the fallout from

125
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: last few days that trade towards the.

126
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: End of this video.

127
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: But Kyle Tucker's not giving you to it's a value either.

128
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker has a better arm, of course, But if

129
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: we keep hearing these things about defensive value, defensive value,

130
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: defensive value for the.

131
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: Mets, it doesn't.

132
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 3: I can't find a way in my brain that unless

133
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker's market gets so suppressed, which I think I'm

134
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: not so suppressed, but I do think there's a chance

135
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: that almost every team in league box at ten years

136
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 3: for Kyle Tucker, which we'll start talking about a little

137
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: bit more. I think there's almost no way the Mets

138
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: get in unless they can get away with some kind

139
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 3: of five year, super high AAV offer for Kyle Tucker.

140
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: Truthfully speaking, I just that's that's what I feel, and

141
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: that's kind of seems to me, like the hints and

142
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 3: the crumbs that the Mets have left us.

143
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: I still think at the end of the day, like

144
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are going to swoop in and pay him,

145
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: or the Phillies will swoop in and pay him.

146
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 2: Blue Jess the Blue Jays will swoop.

147
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: In and pay them, And I think that is the

148
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: biggest detractor from Kyle Tucker is I think those teams

149
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: will give him one of those contracts. And maybe the

150
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: Mets don't want to be the highest bidder on this,

151
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: maybe they are looking a little more aggressively on a

152
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: short term, insane AAV type move. But at the same time,

153
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: if you are serious about winning the twenty twenty six

154
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: World Series, Kyle Tucker is by far the best option.

155
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: Available for the outfield right now for the Mets for sure.

156
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: But again, some things that could scare you me somebody

157
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: off Marx CAMRA's falling down, somebody off from Kyle Tucker.

158
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: For again, the twelve year Mega deal has never hit

159
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: the ball harder than one hundred eleven point three miles

160
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: an Now that's pretty hard. It's pretty hard, but it's

161
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 3: not really what you usually pay. Like there's if there

162
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 3: wasn't either or for the next three years of Kyle

163
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: Tucker or pe Alonso, and you can see what you

164
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: could do with the rest of the roster.

165
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: I might low key prioritize pe Alonzo.

166
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 3: I think p Alonzo might be a better hitter than

167
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker for the next two years.

168
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: I think that's possible.

169
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker doesn't even have he doesn't even have league

170
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: average batspeed. Kyle Tucker has the ball hard than one

171
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: hundred and nine miles an hour in two seasons. Kyle

172
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: Tucker in three years, four years, like you're probably looking

173
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: at a twenty five homer two seventy average, like good clean,

174
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 3: like eight to fifty oh ps guy with no defensive value.

175
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: Suddenly you just redid all the mistakes in the brand

176
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: Nimo contract. You just got away from the Nimo gave

177
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 3: us the last few years, so of course, but that

178
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: was like the high end of when Nimo gave us

179
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 3: the beginning of the contract.

180
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: I just I love Kyle, and then you'd have him,

181
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: then you'd him for seven more years.

182
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: I think sometimes old man mark when the old man

183
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: had on sometimes exit Vilo, Like on a guy like

184
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker, who's still I think he might not have

185
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: the max max. It's a good hard hit rates, all, yeah,

186
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: the hard hit rates are hard, are good, So he's

187
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: hitting the ball hard consistently. He's just not getting the

188
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: max gaudy numbers by any means. But I bet you

189
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,239
Speaker 1: like his what ninetieth percent tlexiviel like that's probably still

190
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: pretty high.

191
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: Definitely is, but with the max gaudy stuff like, we

192
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: like that a lot more, especially for the guys that

193
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: don't give much defensive value. And Kyle Tucker, you're not

194
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker's now I hit my mic is a crazy episode,

195
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: the crazy episode. Kyle Tucker's not giving you the defensive

196
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: value either, Like to me, he just he he is

197
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: production wise, has all the superstar things that he does

198
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: in the near term, and he has had some major

199
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: superstar seasons, especially if you go back to twenty twenty

200
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: two to twenty twenty three, twenty twenty one, where he's

201
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: a five win player three years.

202
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: In a row.

203
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: But he it's there's so many more ways for this

204
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: profile to be not a superstar over the next ten

205
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: years where I would feel like he's I think people

206
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: are trying to make him like a show Tani. Aaron

207
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: Judge won solo because those guys have been available.

208
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: For the last three off seasons.

209
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: He's no, we're close to any of those guys, kind

210
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: of like you said, top twenty players, he's a tier two,

211
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: tier three superstar simply.

212
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: He's probably closer to Bryce Harper than those guys. He

213
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: probably is close to Brice Arper those guys.

214
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: Also, I think he's I would rather have if this

215
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: guy never became available. I would have rather a bond

216
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 3: Flying mcguear junior for the next ten years than Kyle Tucker. Again,

217
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: I think that's a fair I think there's I think

218
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 3: there is a big difference there. It's kind of it

219
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: makes it a little bit hard for me to rationalize

220
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: why the Mets, specifically with having won SOLA for the

221
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 3: long term contract with I think still prioritizing in some ways,

222
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 3: Peter Alnzo would give Kyle Tucker the mega deal that

223
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: he seeks.

224
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: Well to go to your side. Now, if we get

225
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker, there's no Pee Alonzo. I would prefer a

226
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: world where the Mets get Pete Alonzo and a good

227
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: left fielder. I think that makes a more complete team.

228
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: I think that makes the Mets team better this season.

229
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: But I don't. Again, I still think the Mets are

230
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna sign Pete, but I'm not like one hundred percent confident.

231
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: I think there's a world where he does play for

232
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: another team. Again, I'll believe it when I see it.

233
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: But that's why I get worried, is like, what if

234
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: we all of a sudden look at this offseasons, like, oh,

235
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: we trade Brandon Nemo, got Marcus Simeon, and now, like

236
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: in left field, we end up with an option that

237
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: like really isn't enticing. And I'm not even gonna put

238
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger in that category because I think Bellinger serves

239
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: his purpose, especially for David Stearn's wants. I think he's

240
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: gonna hit just fine at City field. I think similarly

241
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: after just saying it like he's on the team.

242
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

243
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: I think also people online are being a little too

244
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: harsh on Bellinger as well for a lot of the

245
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: underlying stuff that people don't like Kyle Tucker for two,

246
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: where he's also a phenomenal outfielder to Cody Bellinger, Oh.

247
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: Colley Belnder's greatutfielder, but Codey Belencher' is a great corner

248
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: outfielder and defensive first basement. Code Belncher's not an elite

249
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: defensive center fielder. And there's this defensive conundrunna play left.

250
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 3: There's a defensive conundrum we have to keep going back

251
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: to because that seems to be their priority. And that's

252
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 3: ofbfseas now we've seen you point blank the fact that

253
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: we trade him better himou hither in Brandon Nemo for

254
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: a better fielder and Marcus Emim where there's a lot

255
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: of talking now about Carson Bench and now we're hearing

256
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 3: the words that like Carson Bench. Basically it seems like

257
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: as long as he handles himself well, it's a good

258
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 3: chance he's on the Mets opening day roster.

259
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: And we've seen some allusions to it.

260
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 3: The Mets, apparently in their conversation with Nimo about waiving

261
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: the no trade clause, said, if you're on this team

262
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 3: next year, like you're going to get more reps at

263
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 3: the eight because we have better defensive players and the

264
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: upper miners who are ready to play every single day.

265
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: It also hurt me that when they asked Neimo about

266
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: the trade and he was like, is the only thing

267
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: holding up this trade? Like me saying yes, and David

268
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: Serta goes yeah, and he's like, I'll do it for

269
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: the team, Like God damn it.

270
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: Even in his last seconds, he wanted the Mets to

271
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 2: do better. Yeah.

272
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: That was the classic Diana tweet where he was like,

273
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: if the Mets think they're better off without me, Like

274
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: what can I say to them? Like, if you love something,

275
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: let it go. Randon was so happy to be a Met.

276
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 3: He was so great having him as a Mets. Still

277
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 3: sad about that trade, well, understanding the baseball side of it,

278
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 3: but the Mets want to get better defensively. If Carson

279
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 3: Bench is the Mets opening day center fielder, and there's

280
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: a big hitter in left field, whether it be Kyletucker,

281
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 3: whether it be Kyle Tucker's like Cody Bellinger's a good hitter.

282
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: Kydtucker's a great hitlter.

283
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 3: The Mets defense has probably gotten a little bit worse

284
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: because you're losing what Tyron Taylor was again defensively every

285
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 3: single day as an elite defensive center fielder, where you

286
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: will be better offensively even if it was a Cody

287
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 3: Bellinger and left Carson Benjes center situation.

288
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, I am. It makes the game.

289
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: It makes the game theory weird about how this offseason

290
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 3: is going to be gone about, but.

291
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: Also that maybe like to help Carson Benji out because

292
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: we know Ben is probably not going to play against

293
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: lefties even when he first comes up immediately unless he

294
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: really is that guy.

295
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: Feels like just something that's not happened, Like maybe.

296
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: We get Louis Robert to go be our defensive guy

297
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: in centerfield then to play tune with him a little bit.

298
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: That's kind of where I was going back to, and

299
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: I think that's a fun part about this offseason.

300
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: Again.

301
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: For some reason, there's a lot of Mets fans out

302
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 3: there who think the off season's over before Thanksgiving.

303
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: It's, of course it's over.

304
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: J think we've ruined the team because we've lost Nim mind,

305
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 3: I am, so did we sign Wan Soto last year

306
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: December tenth around?

307
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: Now offseasons over, it's November twenty fifth.

308
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: The cool thing about this trade and what's happened with

309
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: this new Mets regime, this whole new Mets world, is

310
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: that we don't know anything.

311
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: We used to know everything.

312
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: We had the manual Mirez rumor nine to nine trade

313
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 3: deadlines in a row, because I think that the wills

314
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 3: were always and no one when I was always on

315
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: top of making that happen. But this Brandimo from Marcus

316
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: MMI trade wasn't even remotely on anybody's radar on Plan

317
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: to Earth.

318
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 2: It really wasn't. So it's kind of cool that if.

319
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 3: These crazy things are going to happen, they're going to

320
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 3: happen like a little bit in secret and we could

321
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: be shocked a few more times. I think that the

322
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 3: biggest thing about this brand Inmo trade still was this

323
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: idea of flexibility for this mess roster, having fewer commitments

324
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: passed the next three years. The fact that now there's

325
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: basically seemingly another opportunity for long term contract to come

326
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: on this team, and there can be so many more

327
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: pun this out of left field moves that the Mets

328
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 3: can make this offseason, and we just might not know

329
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: about them until the second they drop.

330
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 4: Hey, for all the parents out there with teens, it's

331
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 4: more hectic now than ever.

332
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: Cash app is gonna help not her.

333
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 4: With the cash app card, available to teens thirteen to

334
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 4: seventeen with sponsorship by an eligible parent or guardian, every

335
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 4: transaction trigger's a real time notification for you to see,

336
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 4: empowering your team to practice independent while giving you peace

337
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 4: of mind by keeping track of their spending. You can

338
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 4: also manage everything directly from your own cash app account

339
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: without having to switch between the two. With the cash

340
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 4: app card, you and your team's balances received twenty four

341
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 4: to seven fraud monitoring, and if something ever feels off,

342
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 4: you have the ability to lock their card right from

343
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 4: your phone in just one tap. For a limited time,

344
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 4: new cash app customers can earn ten dollars if they

345
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,640

Speaker 4: and send five bucks to a friend within fourteen days.

347
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: Terms apply.

348
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,160

353
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think in a minute or two, hear me

354
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: and James are going to tell you some of the

355
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: just absolutely out of left field moves that we would

356
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: love to see happen for the Mets. Again, out of

357
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: left field, probably not likely, but there are some really

358
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: really intriguing names.

359
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: Out there that Mets could now slot in.

360
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: Because I'll all say this too, just because wal Soto's

361
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: in right field does mean I don't think he'll go

362
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: play left field if they needed.

363
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 2: No for sure.

364
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 3: And the name that we kind of keep coming back

365
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 3: to and that keeps oddly getting floated is Fernando Tatis Junior.

366
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 3: Like that situation where yeah, I'll do whatever it tastes

367
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 3: to get Fernando tatist Junior.

368
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 2: It's gonna be. That's it.

369
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

370
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 3: And I think a hall is Worth like that starts

371
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: with Carson Bench that probably is also Jonatan that's also

372
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: probably like all right, thanks, And I do think that

373
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: there's some question as to whether or not he could

374
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 3: be moved, but the Padres are being sold, and with

375
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: that team being sold, there's No, there's probably likely no

376
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: sentimentality coming from the buyer, and there's definitely no sentimentality

377
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 3: coming from the sellers because it's the Sidlers, it's the

378
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: Sidler children that are selling this team, and the fact that.

379
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: They're going to sell this team, they want to maximize

380
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: their profit.

381
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 3: They probably don't maximize profit with a three hundred million

382
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: dollars fixed cost on your books. You want to rip

383
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: that thing as close as studs as you possibly can.

384
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: Along with the awful contracts of Xander Bogart's you Darvish,

385
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: and then also we got Hyptomaty Machado's insane contract towards

386
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: the end of his career where he's making forty million

387
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: dollars a year.

388
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: Like forty I'm saying, do you even have to package

389
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: Jackson Merril with one of those guys to send them off?

390
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: You just send off Fernando Tatist and like start the rebuild.

391
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: Like I know that Aj Preler, if he's there, he's

392
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: still going to try and win. I don't think of

393
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: trying to win move his trading Fernando tats ever is,

394
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: but I do trust Aj Preller to pick the hall

395
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 3: I'm getting back. I mean the one solo hall he

396
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: ra away is like one of the best trade packages ever.

397
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: Like there's there's something just about his availability right now

398
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: Tatisas and the fact of how good he is offensively defensively.

399
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: I know it's never going to be the highs that

400
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: we saw for Fernando tatis Through at the beginning of

401
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: his career, and there's always going to be some questions

402
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 3: about just his maturity level and how much how much

403
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 3: he cares about what happens on the field. The ped

404
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: stuff is always going to be a black mark against him.

405
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: But you got a pretty locksil of five six up

406
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: to seven win player and in the middle of his

407
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: prime right now, and he's he offers an element to

408
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 3: this team that you don't only have in the mess

409
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: right now.

410
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: He can even be a center fielder possibly.

411
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm interested to see if he could make that switch,

412
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: just because again he's still relatively sounds crazy learning how

413
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: to play the outfield. He was a shortstop and he

414
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: was a really good shortstop as well, So like for

415
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: him to make that switch to the outfield and be

416
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: as good as he is. He has a canon of

417
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: an arm runs like the win if for Nano Tatis

418
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: is available, that's my number one guy. That's who I

419
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: want the Mets to bring in. I like him more

420
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: than Kyle Tucker, especially with the fit of his team,

421
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: but probably not available. I don't think he's actually I

422
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: don't I don't think. I don't know how real he

423
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: actually is available.

424
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: Like you said, A J.

425
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Pereler seems to be the real, the real X factor

426
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: here because until he's gone, I don't think there's ever.

427
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: A world he's selling like that.

428
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 3: But I do think that there's a point where the

429
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: Sidlers in charge him, like we're selling this team.

430
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: We're selling.

431
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: We're going to sell this team without Fernano tazis honest,

432
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: So do you want to be a part of the

433
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: next regime, We'll sell you with the team because like

434
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 3: continued to be the champ of the Padres, they're gonna

435
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 3: fire for fant Tatis.

436
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: They're gonna fire.

437
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: Him in December because he won't trade Tatis and then

438
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: hire him like trade Tatis. But though like they might

439
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: lame duck him through this whole season, Like I do

440
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: think that they again just for the cause the asset

441
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: of the Padres, They're going to want to get these

442
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: costs off the team, Like, I don't think a buyer

443
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: unless the buyer is like someone again with sentimentality for

444
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: the club, cares about buying a winner. Said like we've

445
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: seen from a lot of these owners that winning and

446
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: losing baseball games doesn't change the profit margins that much

447
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, which is really sad.

448
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: It's going to be a big problem next off season,

449
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: but that's just kind of the fact of the matter.

450
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's available. I still wonder about the

451
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: Terrek Schople availability availability. I wonder about the Hose Ramirez availability.

452
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: Like we I just know that right now there is

453
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: now more open space on this team for a much

454
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: longer term contract. I bet that the trading of brand

455
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: Nimo actually puts the Mets more involved in guys like

456
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: Dylan C's and Tatsui Mai. Like I do think that

457
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: getting out of that contract, getting out of those that

458
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: get one hundred million dollars for five years, it gives

459
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: the Mets to David Searns more flexibility to kind of be,

460
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, stupid with a different

461
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: long term contract and use that word sparingly because it's

462
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: de Andrew Friedman quote that if you think rationally never

463
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: free agent, you're going to finish third for every free agent.

464
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 3: So I'm saying, yeah, you have to pick and choose

465
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 3: the spots you go. And the Mets have two great

466
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 3: pillars in Solo and Lindor. You got space for a third.

467
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: It is really important you get that third, right.

468
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 2: I uh, I just I keep stumbling back. I just

469
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: I almost see no way, it's not Bellinger and reason why?

470
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: And I know your biggest worry with Bellinger is not

471
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: necessarily the player that he is, it's the contract. And

472
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: basically saying, Brandon Neimo, we just we just did this

473
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: contract with you, We're gonna do it again now with

474
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger. Two reasons why I think the Mets would

475
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: be going that way more most likely than not one.

476
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger still plays phenomenal outfield defense and left field.

477
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: He had like six or seven OAA in center field

478
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: I think he was still positive, not high, but still positive.

479
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,239
Speaker 1: And then in right field he also still had one

480
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: of the higher oas out there among qualified players. So

481
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: I think the defense will stick like I don't see

482
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: the defense slowing down for Cody Bellinger in the next

483
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: three four seasons to a level where you're like concerned,

484
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: especially because that arm's good and the athleticism is still

485
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: there for him. Also, there might be a little bit

486
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: of David Stearns being like, well, I just traded this contract.

487
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 2: I'll just do it again if it becomes a problem.

488
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: And I think I could buy into that theory as well,

489
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: Like I just traded Brandon Neimo he can't play defense

490
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: in the outfield. If Cody Bellinger still plays defense in

491
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: the outfield and the bat struggles a little bit from

492
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: where it's been, I'll be able.

493
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: To move him too.

494
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: I guess that actually is is kind of a point

495
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: I did not consider, honestly, the fact we'll just trade him.

496
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's interesting. That's an interesting point right there.

497
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: But it does feel to me like you're kind of

498
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: just robbing pe the the pay Pal to trade the

499
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: brand Nimoco. Like if if Cody Bellinger gets a six

500
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 3: year contract, I do think that he's a little bit

501
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 3: more in play. Of course, because he doesn't have a

502
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: qualifying off attach to him. You're not sacrificing a draft

503
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 3: pick to sign Cody Bellinger, But just what's his contract projections?

504
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 3: Is it like six for like one fifty one sixty.

505
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 3: I really don't buy those at all. Like, I don't

506
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 3: know why after the last few years for Cody Bellinger

507
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 3: couldn't find the long term contract he wanted it now

508
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: all of a sudden he will, which is kind of

509
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 3: the same thing happening to Pi Alonzo right now. Even

510
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: though p Alonzo put much more on paper than Cody

511
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 3: Bellinger did this past year in terms of underlying stats

512
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 3: to get that contract, he also still seems like it's

513
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 3: going to be a tooth and nail fight for even

514
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: Pete to get a fourth year in his contract. But

515
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 3: I still think Cody Bellinger winds up much closer to

516
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: the Dealey signed with the Cups, which is.

517
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: What like three for eighty a few years ago, three

518
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 1: ninety something like that with a bunch of opts out.

519
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: It's like that to me is one that I could

520
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: see the Mets considering. But I'm I'm just horrified by

521
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: the bad ball metrics and Cody Bellinger. Like Cody Bellinger

522
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: might walk into city field and be like a twenty

523
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: two homer seven, a the o PS guy, and then

524
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: we're just we're just buying plus plus defense in a

525
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: corner spot and blocking Carson Bench in the process.

526
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: I think there's a well, he's.

527
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: Gonna play center field probably Bench, But I think there's

528
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: a world where they do that just because the defense

529
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: is better. And I think in David Sertans' eyes, you

530
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: got And I'm not saying that this is the right move.

531
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I think this is the theoretical or

532
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: theoretically what's going on in his head. We upgrade second

533
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: base defense, we upgrade left field defense with guys that

534
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: are similar bats if not better at times than what

535
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: we had there, and we got better gloves, Like, how

536
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: are we not a better team?

537
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: Automatically? That could also be a fatal flaw for sure. Definitely.

538
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,239
Speaker 3: Also, it doesn't seem like it's going to that cut

539
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: and drive for me, Like I still think that Louis

540
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: Robert Junior is very much so I be the center fielder.

541
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 3: I really think in a perfect world, I think that

542
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 3: the Mets want Carson Bench as the left fielder. I

543
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 3: think they want to solve center field and Kyle Talk

544
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: is definitely not the center fielder. And I don't think

545
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 3: the Mets view Cody Bellinger's a center fielder either. Like

546
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: I think there's a better chance that Cody Bellinger's playing

547
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 3: first base and opening day for the Mets than center

548
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 3: field for sure, cause but I still think that bat wise,

549
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: right now, the Mets lineup sucks.

550
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: It's a horrendous lineup as it currently stands. It's it's

551
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: pure ass.

552
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: It's like when you looked at the Phillies and something

553
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: we always joked about with them, It's like they have

554
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: three good hitters and everyone else in that lineup stinks.

555
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,239
Speaker 2: That's the Mets lineup right now.

556
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: Met's lineup has two definitely good hitters right now, and

557
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 3: then you're really hoping for the Viento's McNeil Alvarez baby

558
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 3: thing to do.

559
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: Also, I don't know if McNeil's in this lineup opening day.

560
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 3: Like I just I really think that this Brandon Nemo

561
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 3: trade was the precursor of what's going to be one

562
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 3: of the most absolutely ridiculous, crazy, action packed off seasons

563
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 3: that the Mets are going to have that we've truthfully

564
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 3: ever seen. Like there's going to be so much player movement,

565
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 3: David Surtons cold blood in the way he traded the

566
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 3: brand Nemo and all the quotes that have come out

567
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: about the things he was saying to him about waving

568
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 3: the no trade clause, like this is this is an indication.

569
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 3: It's a big blinking, flashing light to us as Mets fans.

570
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 3: Shit is going to change. Last year was unacceptable and

571
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: things have to change. I don't think that's the worst idea.

572
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 3: It might not be the best idea, but like it's

573
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 3: I think so many things are going to happen. And

574
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker Cody Bellinger seems too obvious based on the

575
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 3: way this has begun, all right, I geck.

576
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: Get behind the too obvious that we were, we think.

577
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: But also at the same time, James, we know David

578
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: Searns is listening.

579
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: We know he hears us.

580
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: So when we when we hear the Fernando Fernando Tatis

581
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: rumors drop, or that they're gonna get Luis Roberts so

582
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: Carson Bench can play left field that opening day, I

583
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: can't wait to see our reaction.

584
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 3: But again, like that's possible to me too, Like I also,

585
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: I bet those calls have already been made.

586
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: Like we know we had a dialogue with the White

587
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 2: Sox and the trade deadline.

588
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: I know that every team is talking to Padres right

589
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: now because they know decide theer's are selling that team.

590
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 3: They know if they want to get that money off

591
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 3: their books, and I think a lot of people know

592
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: that these the lead players are available, you have to

593
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: go get them. I also think that we're going to

594
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: play the Pedlonzo game again till the last second, especially

595
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 3: the fact that it seems like if he wants to win,

596
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 3: and I think a guy like Pete who does seem

597
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 3: to really want to win and doesn't have a ring,

598
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 3: you want to end his career with a ring might be.

599
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 1: The difference between him being a player and a Hall

600
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: of Fame guy truthfully at the end of his career.

601
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 3: And it seems like the only other winning team that

602
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: is really at all connected him in any way, shape

603
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 3: or form are the Red Sox, and I think the

604
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: Red Sox prioritizing Alex Bregman over Pee Alonzo, so that

605
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 3: really just leaves the mess and pe Alonzo again as

606
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: the last guy and girl at the dance looking at

607
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 3: each other at the dance floor when the slow song

608
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 3: comes on, like it just seems like if we can

609
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 3: drift into that, he could just be the half first

610
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 3: base dge they get created. There's so many ways on

611
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 3: the turn. I think that's the biggest thing to get

612
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,239
Speaker 3: out of his episode. There's so many things that can

613
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 3: happen with this team over the next two months.

614
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: I know Pete was so bad defensively last year at

615
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: first base, like horrible. Have you seen the breakdown as

616
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: to what made him so bad? No, tell me so

617
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: OA breaks down the direction to which they also get

618
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: their OAA.

619
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 2: Glove side's gotta be a mess.

620
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: No glove side's great. Players left like going to the

621
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: players left because he's already so go to his left.

622
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: He's actually one OAA going behind him to going to

623
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: his right, which is gonna be his throwing side when

624
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: he has to go across his body the ground balls.

625
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: He has no business going after what or hit to

626
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: the second basement negative eight geez balls in which are

627
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: the ones that he has to field and probably throw

628
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: the second base or throw to the picture negative four.

629
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: It's like, I feel like we the conversation with like

630
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: Pete's defense has been so bad, this feels fixable.

631
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: Stop fucking going.

632
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: After every ground ball and you will be probably closer

633
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 1: to the league average.

634
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 3: This may be why the Mets organization is so frustrated.

635
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 3: Planzo because I'm sure they're telling him these I hope, so.

636
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 2: After the ball, You're right, it's a second basement.

637
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 3: But then I'm sure he gets in between the lines

638
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: and things change. Maybe a guy like Marcus Semi next him,

639
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 3: like one of the most respected, trusted veterans in the game,

640
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 3: Like maybe that actually helps tells Pete, Okay, I don't

641
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 3: have to go after this ball anymore.

642
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: It's like so many different ways this can go. It's

643
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 2: just so obvious.

644
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 3: It is. It is obvious, but you know, when you

645
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 3: get between the lines, like a lot of these things

646
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 3: kind of go out of your head, especially when your

647
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 3: guy like Pete who no wants to help the team

648
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 3: so much. But again, fever, we have the news and

649
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 3: we have it clearest day from Pete, from David Stearns.

650
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 3: He's going to be willing to DH more often this year.

651
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 3: We know that that was a conversation with Nimo before

652
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 3: the trade.

653
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 2: No trade was waived.

654
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: You're going to have to DH more if you're going

655
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 3: to be on this team this year. Like that's just

656
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 3: simply part of it. Apparently the Rangers are gonna playim

657
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 3: in right field. Can you imagine that was an announcement

658
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 3: that came out in the press conference. You mentioned how

659
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: many people are going to go first to third on

660
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 3: Brandon Neimo this year.

661
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: I he's a right fielder. Love Brandon Nimo. We love

662
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 2: Brandon on this the bottom of my heart.

663
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: People saw our reaction on Instagram where we're like you

664
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: guys already it's Brandonima was so great and we're like no, no, no, non,

665
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: tak it easy. We love brandonim over here. He was

666
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: awesome last few years. He wasn't the same player, but

667
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: putting him in right field would be and I say

668
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: this not lightly.

669
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 2: It would be a catastrophe. You would be run on

670
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: more than you could ever even imagine. I think they'll

671
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: put him the right thing. I could go first to third.

672
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: Oh he's you. Yeah you slide the head first, ketting up,

673
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: bumping your fist. Yeah we did that. I do a

674
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: little dance.

675
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 3: But it's just this Mets seem they I know, how

676
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 3: much more, how bad they want to get more athotic,

677
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 3: They want defenders, they want arms, and Bellinger does fit

678
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: a lot of those bills.

679
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: But it's every bill.

680
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: But if you if you, if you've done, if you

681
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: do this, especially especially if they do bring back Pete.

682
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 1: You could have Pete d h certain games, Bellinger at

683
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: first If there's a ground ball Bellinger makes even more sense.

684
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: If there's a ground ball pitcher, put him at first base.

685
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: If there's a flyball guy, put him in the left field.

686
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: Like there it is. I like Bellinger as a chess piece.

687
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: I do a lot.

688
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 3: But to get off five years one hundred for Nimo

689
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 3: and to give six years for one thirty for Bellinger,

690
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 3: Like if you trade when he's done, do you do

691
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 3: you want?

692
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: Do you want to do? Would you do?

693
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 3: The contract he signed with the Cups whoever was like

694
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 3: three for eighty five that we talked about, Yeah, three

695
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 3: for ninety I'm cool with that. And City Fields really

696
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 3: not the worst ballpark for left handed power hitters either.

697
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 3: It is sneaky pulls the ball again, and he had

698
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 3: he does pull the ball. But I just I stare

699
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 3: at the Cody Bellinger bad at ball metrics. I see

700
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: the facts.

701
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: He's thirty years old.

702
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: I've seen the fact that in the last few years

703
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 3: he's been so inconsistent, Like we're only three full seasons

704
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 3: removed from the Cody Bellinger not playable ady WRC plus

705
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 3: season in LA where he got non tendered by the Dodgers,

706
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 3: and then that first year with the Cubs he was great.

707
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 3: Second with the Cubs he wasn't very good, and then

708
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: he kind of married a lot of the bad ball

709
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: metrics and the newfound plays this online with the Yankees.

710
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 2: But just it feels like a.

711
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: Very shallow profile and to pay a premium price for

712
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: corner outfield defense, that really just that doesn't tickle me

713
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: like it should.

714
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: I will say it is crazy looking at like what

715
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: the home run numbers would be when he moves park.

716
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: So he hit thirty last year in total. Obviously not

717
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: every game was at Yankee Stadium, but if he played

718
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: every game in Yankee Stadium thirty three, he played every

719
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: game in Philly, he would have had thirty six.

720
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,479
Speaker 2: Why are the Phillies not all over him?

721
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: Maybe they are that he does make a lot of

722
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 3: sense for the Phillies, But I was I was hanging

723
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: out with a Philly friend on him a Monday night,

724
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 3: and me and him were talking about the fact that

725
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 3: it's been so silent talk. There's not there hasn't been

726
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 3: a word about a plan, about an idea, about anything

727
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 3: that could possibly happen for the Phillies a catcher J T.

728
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 2: Muto's gotta come back.

729
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: It's I mean, I heard the Red Sox are actually

730
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 3: linked to him, and I think the Padre should be

731
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: linked to him. I just think it's Chemuto. I think

732
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 3: it's become one of the more underrated free agents on

733
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 3: the board right now. Like he's still a tremendous defensive catcher.

734
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 3: He's still at least like a league average hitre. You

735
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: would love to pay for that, especially with the leadership

736
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 3: qualities that he has.

737
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: But you're play him like ninety games as opposed to

738
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty, Like he's probably gonna be pretty good.

739
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 3: I just I don't know, like the Kode Bellinger, if

740
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 3: there's possible six or seven year contract attached to him,

741
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 3: I just I see the nightmare of the Jason Hayward contract. Okay,

742
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 3: Like I I just don't think that. I don't think

743
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 3: a six year contract with Coly Bellinger would be good

744
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: business whatsoever. I think he's a good fit if you

745
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 3: can get him again the three year deal the same

746
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 3: deally just out with the Cubs. Probably do get three

747
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: good seasons, you do four, I guess, I guess four

748
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 3: would be probably be the highest I go. I don't

749
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 3: think I go five.

750
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 2: I don't want I think I'd give him five. Six

751
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: makes me a little more nervous, but i'd go five.

752
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 2: I mean, Code Belinger right now is thirty.

753
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 3: So if you give him five, you're you have thirty

754
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: five for Coli Bellinger Batsby when we know Batsby starts

755
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 3: to kind of dip thirty two, thirty three and he's

756
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: swinging a seventy mile an hour bat right now.

757
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: Troy Snicker is gonna fix that.

758
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 3: I like them and Mark Troy's Yeah, Troy and Marcus

759
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: Nicker's Marcus Nicker and Marcus MMI is introductory press conference.

760
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 3: If you guys didn't listen, really good listening. Marcus Emion

761
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 3: is a that's the guy who's gonna handle the New

762
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 3: York media very well. Every single time someone asked him

763
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 3: a question, he referenced them by name, said thank you

764
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: for the question, like alude to something they said in

765
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: their intro. He mentioned Jeff Albern Troyce Nicker specifically by name.

766
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 3: It thinks he can do to kind of get the

767
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: bat where he wants it to be, which I thought

768
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 3: was really cool and really interesting.

769
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: He also mentioned the.

770
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 3: Fact that when he's coming up with the White Sox,

771
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 3: his guy was Buddy Bell. He was like, I look

772
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: at the back of Buddy Bell's baseball card when I

773
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: was coming up. I saw lots of one fifty seven

774
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 3: next to his name. I said, that's the player I

775
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 3: want to be guy, guy who plays every single game.

776
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 3: So it's cool that mindset wise, you could be in

777
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 3: every game kind of player.

778
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: To Bell, was his guy, Marcus means like, he's like

779
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: five years older than us. That's crazy.

780
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 3: No, I think Buddy Bell was a coach in the

781
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 3: system when he was coming up with the White Sox.

782
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 3: I think that I think he might have been the

783
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: manager for that seasons. Marcus Eemian played, but he referenced

784
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 3: like I didn't think I was gonna hear Buddy Bell

785
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: reference in the Marcus MMI introductory press conference.

786
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 2: That one really caught me off guard. But again, when

787
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 2: you I.

788
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 3: Watched the David Stearns press conference too, If you guys

789
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 3: haven't wached, that also great listen to hear the cold

790
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 3: blood that David Stearns being so contrite in what he

791
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 3: was saying, the fact that this opens up flexibility for

792
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: the Mets. The guy a guy who's a better athlete.

793
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: They wish the best for Brandon. They still think brand

794
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 3: his productive player. But flexibility. You kill all that flexibilit

795
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: if you give Cody Bellinger six year contract. I don't

796
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 3: think anyone's giving Cody Bullinger six year contract, mostly the

797
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 3: fact that we saw four guys take qualifying offers. This

798
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 3: market will not be as robust as I think a

799
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 3: lot of these free agency projections have been so far.

800
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: I hope we get him on a cheaper deal. I'm

801
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: cool with that.

802
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 3: A four, three or four year Cody Bollinger. I can

803
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: definitely stomach that one. For six year Kyle Tucker, Wow,

804
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 3: I can kind tuck a forty five million year for

805
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 3: the next six years. I think that would be sick.

806
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 3: If you six six for two fifty one hundred percent

807
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: deple cards and Ben Centerfield, we're cooking with gas at

808
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 3: that point.

809
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: Fuck fuck defense, We've got bats. But there's it's the

810
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: wiggle around this free age.

811
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 3: He's going to be crazy, which I still think the

812
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 3: must have a crazy trade up there, Sleep, I really do.

813
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 4: If you are still carrying a clunky leather brick that

814
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 4: can be mistaken for an old school wallet, may I

815

Speaker 4: introduce you to what Eric Kratz is getting himself for

816

834
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: If there's one player that nobody's thinking about, like gut Field,

835
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: who do you think the Mets could be interested in?

836
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: Anybody jumping off off the page to you because I

837
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking at outfield defense and there is one name

838
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: that we heard about could be available, possibly to trade,

839
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: and I think it would be an interesting one because

840
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: he plays pretty good defense in the corner. Someone whom

841
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: me and you have been a fan of didn't have

842
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: the greatest season last year, but I still think there's

843
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: a good player inside of him.

844
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 2: Jaron Duran. That actually wasn't my guy, but that's the

845
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 2: guy that you're going with.

846
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 3: Well, I think there's I think we know that the

847
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: Red Sox are going to trade one of those outfielders.

848
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 3: I do wonder how much, because we know they are

849
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 3: we know they love William or brayw but he'd be

850
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 3: a fun one to steal.

851
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 2: Think those are both good players. But who was yours?

852
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 2: Lawrence Butler? Okay, you think you think of Bylow and

853
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: Lawrence Butler.

854
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: I would consider a bilo on Lawrence Butler. When he

855
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: played the corner last year, he was a plus outfielder,

856
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: outfield defender out there, and he is on a relatively

857
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: team friendly contract. I think you would have to give

858
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: a ballot, probably more than you maybe some of you

859
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: would be comfortable for, especially because I think the a's

860
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: farm system is desperate to get more pitching in there.

861
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: But that feels like a little bit of a matchmate

862
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: in heaven. Lawrence Butler's only twenty five years old. He's

863
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: got a really really cheap contract and a team option

864
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: in twenty thirty two looking down the line, and I

865
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: think he's just gonna be a good at outfielder.

866
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 2: I think for his career. I do.

867
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 3: I just don't think the Athletics could ever trade like

868
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 3: the seven for sixty seven million dollars contract Lawrence Butler has,

869
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 3: especially if there was.

870
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: A rumor that he they were listening to calls on him,

871
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 2: I can see. I mean, if if you saw it, could.

872
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 3: That could have just like steeped into your subconscious mind.

873
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 3: I think I think that the Red Sox guys will

874
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 3: be traded one of them. I think they both make

875
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: sense for the Mets. I think that Harrison Baylor will

876
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 3: be an option again. I think that Luis Robert Junior

877
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: will definitely be someone that there's a conversation had. I wonder,

878
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 3: I don't really want this guy, but I wonder Stephen

879
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 3: Kwan is someone that becomes.

880
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 2: In play get on him. I feel like you could.

881
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 3: I feel like Stephen Kwan won't be as expensive as

882
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 3: people think. I know there was a crazy rumors about

883
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: Bason Miller for him with the trade deadline, but I

884
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 3: think that's I truthfully think that's crazy.

885
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 2: I wonder. I mean, you can't do it anymore because

886
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 2: you have sent me in, but like if you could.

887
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: The rumor was that the A's will not be listening

888
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: to offers on Lauren's Okay, cross that one off real quickly.

889
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: This comes back to the Red Sox guys, and I

890
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: think like is like that's they seem like kind of

891
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: a match made in heaven.

892
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: One of those guys has to get trade this Obviously

893
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: it's gonna be Jaron Duran.

894
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: William or Brady is too valuable in that park with

895
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: that defense and the bat that he has. Duran Duran

896
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense though, because he played horrible defense this year.

897
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 2: He was terrible out there. For sure.

898
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 3: You know that Jaron Durant could easily be a plus

899
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 3: defensive outfield and also playing the Green Monsters insane.

900
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not.

901
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 3: It's not really fair to any left fielder, but I

902
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 3: do think there's a world where that works, and.

903
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 2: Just it'd be fun to's. There's something crazy is going

904
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: to happen.

905
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 3: This is obviously I can feel in my bones as

906
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 3: something we're not expecting, something we're not thinking of.

907
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: The move is that crazy? Like could you buy Alow

908
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 2: and Andy Bias? Like, I don't know.

909
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 3: I still think there's I think there's a good player

910
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 3: in there. Like if if this, if this whole thing

911
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,479
Speaker 3: just comes back to Harrison bayther In center and Carson Bench,

912
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: I'd be surprised. But that if that comes to plans,

913
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 3: so then like maybe it's not it's really you probably

914
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 3: do run back a pretty solid team next year.

915
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 2: There's there's something we're not seeing.

916
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 3: There's something we can't think of right now, like maybe

917
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 3: the Byron Bucks and things should rears its head again,

918
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 3: Like can Jackson Merrill be had if you would take

919
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: a bad contract back? Probably not, Like I don't know,

920
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 3: We'll pay a hundred percent of you Darvish's contract, you

921
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 3: never play baseball again, and we'll take Jackson Maryland.

922
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 2: He'll be your center fielder forever. Like are the Mets

923
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 2: the team that tries to unlock O'Neil Cruz? Is that

924
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 2: the place we go there?

925
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 3: Like there's there's something, there's something that we can't see

926
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 3: right now I'm telling.

927
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 2: You, or it's just Cody Bellinger beat Alonzo Edwin Diaz

928
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: and that's the off season.

929
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 3: It wouldn't be that bad if you get to Bencher again.

930
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 3: For if you get Cody Blender for a five year deal.

931
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: For a four year deal, you probably run back a

932
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 3: really you probably run a really good team next season.

933
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and trade for a picture of the deadline that's

934
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: probably it. Yeah, or probably sign another picture again.

935
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 3: I do think that the getting off the Nemo contract

936
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 3: brings us a little bit more in play for the

937
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 3: top of the pitching market, and I think for the

938
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 3: top of the pitching market, the Met's two favorite guys

939
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 3: will be Dylan Ceason tessuim I. Given what we know

940
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: about what the Mets are, what they see pitching wise

941
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 3: inside of the club, maybe this gives him a chance

942
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 3: to buy Michael King. But the qualifying offer I think

943
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 3: was scaring them off a guy like King who doesn't

944
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 3: really have an expected workload.

945
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: There's there's so many ways to turn right now.

946
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: They're also going to trade Code I Sanga, so that

947
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: will open up some stuff too, possibly for this team.

948
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 3: I wonder if there was a Code Saying conversation with

949
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: the Red Sox before the Sunny Gray trade because it

950
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 3: seemed like so it seemed like mister Richard Fitz would

951
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 3: have been a good return for Code that sang it

952
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 3: given with the Mets.

953
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 2: Think about Code that sang at this juncture.

954
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: Yes and no, just because I feel like the Mets

955
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: probably aren't that interesting pitching guys right now, like that

956
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: they just have them already.

957
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: Like I guess maybe it was give a prospect given

958
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 3: another picture with Code saying it to get duran, like

959
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 3: you probably can't get duran for Sanga one for one

960
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: you couldn't have now you definitely can't. But it was

961
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 3: I do wonder if the Red Sox were a team

962
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 3: that called up about Sanga.

963
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I guess we'll find out more.

964
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's gonna be more rumors as soon as

965
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: Black Friday hits. I think it's gonna be a little

966
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: bit quiet over the next day or two because Thanksgiving

967
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: is approaching.

968
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 2: You got travel, I go see family.

969
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 3: I mean the famous Stephen Matt's Day that was Thanksgiving,

970
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 3: and that was Thanksgiving, that was the day before Thanksgiving,

971
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 3: and the Max Shr's a stream was two days later.

972
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 2: Remember two days later. That's the big one. But that's

973
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 2: what's gonna be. So that weekend, that was on the

974
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Oh Blakes now, yeah, Blake snmelted it.

975
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 2: I think that was also weird. I think that was

976
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 2: something that was kind of predecertment.

977
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 3: I mean, the fact that we've had these huge traits

978
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 3: before Thanksgiving, it means that she's gonna be a fucking

979
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 3: crazy off season. But I think the crazy off season

980
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 3: is not going to be with these top free agents.

981
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: All right, that's all we got for you, guys, thirty

982
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: five minutes of rambling about the Mets outfield options.

983
