1

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: know people might be getting a little bit of a

5
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 2: rumor fatigue here, but Brian Nicholson Smith, Ben Nicholson Smith,

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: what is that? Ben Nicholson Smith drop some more on

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 2: a podcast where he seems to think the Mets might

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: be one of the big players for Kyle Tucker this

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 2: offseason and kind of leaning towards maybe the Blue Jay's

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: not being as aggressive on a guy like that. We're

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: gonna talk about everything that he said. We're gonna talk

12
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: about Kyle Tucker. Welcome back to another Kyle Tucker episode.

Speaker 2: me this tweet. How'd you feel when you saw this

22
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: news excited.

23
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

24
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: I just we're dying for some kind of splash. I

25
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: think this is definitely the splash. And Ben Nicholson Smith

26
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: is very plugged in with the Blue Jays, and he

27
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: said this on the Blue Jay's sports Net five ninety

28
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: the Fan, which is their number one sports radio and

29
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: all the time.

30
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: Radio right then.

31
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: What he said very specifically, at one point the Blue

32
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: Jays looked like the best candidate to give Kyle Tucker

33
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 3: a long term deal. Now I would say that's the Mets.

34
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's it. That's a very contract right there.

35
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: That's it.

36
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I wouldn't have expected the Mets to be

37
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: the front runners in his eye, or is there anyone's

38
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: eyes to give a long term contract to Kyle Tucker.

39
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: If you told me the shorter term deal high aav

40
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: a bunch of opt outs, I would have been more inclined.

41
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: But also at the same time, again I'm not I'm

42
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: not opposed to giving Kyle Tucker a long term deal.

43
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 3: I think that's also what do we considering a long

44
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: term deal? At this point, we've kind of been circling

45
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: the drain on this Kyle Tucker Mets thing for a

46
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: few months. Literally it's been a few months, which is

47
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: crazy to think about. But if no one's going to

48
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: give him a long term deal, then the longest deal

49
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: probably just gets him. Like if you're willing to give

50
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: him five years or six years, you might just get

51
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker. You probably have to structure opt outs after

52
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: the third year at the soon as just because you're

53
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: gonna you're going to give up qualifying off for penalties.

54
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: But it seems like the market is just very, very

55
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 3: soft that we could talk about that just in terms

56
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: of what's going on with all these teams in Kyle

57
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 3: Tucker right now.

58
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: But the Mets could mess could use a bat.

59
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: I prefer writing, but I'll take Kyle Tucker like, there's

60
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: no I don't see any harmy Giving Kyle Tucker, like

61
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 3: a five year, one hundred and eighty five million dollar

62
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: deal probably probably starts two hundred.

63
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: I would think, right, you think you got you think

64
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: it's gotta be a forty million dollar a year. If

65
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: it's gonna be that much shorter than what he was

66
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: expecting coming into the offseason, it's.

67
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Cool with me too. That's great. Kyle Tucker the weird

68
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: year last year.

69
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 3: I think he's getting I don't know, I think he's

70
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: I think there's Kyle Tucker fatigue, that Kyle Tucker underrated

71
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: right now. Halfway through the season last year before he

72
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: had that slide where he slightly fractured his hand. They're

73
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: eighty three games, seventeen homers, twenty steals, neither or the ops.

74
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: In Wrigley, Like, that's those great numbers for lefty.

75
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like he's he's a great baseball player, and

76
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: the fact that he's not gonna get a twelve year

77
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: deal makes him that much more enticing.

78
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: Honestly, I feel like you mentioned it, like maybe it's

79
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: the fatigue he's being criminally under rated right now. We've

80
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: talked about on this channel before. But this is a

81
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: top twenty player in baseball. I feel like at the

82
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: absolute worst, and you can make conversations that at times

83
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: he has been a borderline top fifteen, top ten guys.

84
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: So I don't know yet, Like I don't know why.

85
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: I know why teams aren't interested. And it's the money

86
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: thing in the length that's always what it is. If

87
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: you're not the generational type players. It seems like right now,

88
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: you're not gonna be getting that length. But at the

89
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: same time, like this dude in this met's lineup would

90
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: do absolute wonders. I know it would be like a

91
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: little left left handed heavy, but at the same time,

92
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: don't really care. Kyle Tucker. Is that good?

93
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: No, And we also got another pretty interesting note from

94
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: the Will Salm and Ken roseenvel article. This is this

95
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: is the winter of Will Will Salmon's specific I will

96
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: shoutout Will, so if you guys have not been reading

97
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: every single word that Will Salmon is writing on the

98
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: Athletic this winter, like you're missing out because he's on

99
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: top of everything. But another again strange line about this

100
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: perception that Kyle Tucker is not exactly in love with

101
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: the game of baseball, or not that he's not in

102
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: love with the game baseball, just the fact he doesn't

103
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: really want the spotlight. It was about a link between

104
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker and the Dodgers. Yes, Tucker on say, a

105
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: four year deal with opt outs and a massive AAV

106
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: would be a classic Andrew Friedman ad Andrew for me

107
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: the Dodgers President Baseball Operations. The idea also might appeal

108
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: to Tucker's low key personality rather than the center of attention.

109
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: He would perhaps be the Dodgers' fifth or sixth biggest star.

110
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: So pulling two things from that. One, we have a

111
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: rumor about the Dodgers and the Mets and Kyle Tucker

112
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: on the same day. So let's let's stroke, let's try

113
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: and get some let's try and get some more money

114
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 3: on that contract. Two would be the same situation with

115
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 3: the Mets. He would be the third guy that people

116
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: look at in terms of star power, even in his

117
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: own starting lineups. It's if that is something that he

118
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 3: might want, we can also satisfy that craving.

119
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird. You always get nervous about the guys

120
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 2: who don't apparently love the spotlight, and New York City

121
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 2: is the spotlight. The only other bigger one would be

122
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, but because they have all the mega mega

123
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: superstars on that team, it is a little bit different.

124
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: But he is. He's just so good. Again. I really

125
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: come back to the idea of if the met are

126
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: truly interested, if David Sertins is truly interested, I do.

127
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: I think we have a very good shot. I don't

128
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: remember what the percentage that I want that I put

129
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: him down for But when we mentioned those three guys,

130
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: I said, what like thirty three percent? And I think

131
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: you got even more aggressive. I think you said like

132
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: forty or fifty.

133
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 3: I said forty. I'm just I'm just still expecting some

134
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 3: level of a splash, like whether it be Tucker or Framber.

135
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: We just know this Mets team is going to spend

136
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 3: more money right now.

137
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: They have to. Right now.

138
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: The guaranteed players on the roster are only set to

139
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: make two hundred and forty four million dollars, and we've

140
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: all the arbitration guys that will get it added into that.

141
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: We have the dead money from Nemo, Jeff Frankie Montas,

142
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: which is which comes out to another like thirty million dollars.

143
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 3: But there's money to add, Like, I don't really expect

144
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: to go into the season undred three hundred million dollars,

145
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: and this of course will put those way over three

146
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars. But we've ever since Eve come and

147
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 3: Bay the team, we've been the top three pay roll team.

148
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: Like I don't I don't see that. I don't see

149
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: that stopping. And there's so many players available, him being

150
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: the best one, the contract coming closer to where the

151
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: Mets want to live like it.

152
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: It just seems like it's kind of working out that

153
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: way a little bit.

154
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: It also feels like the longer we wait, it's just

155
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: it's gonna reach It's gonna reach a price point that

156
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 2: the Mets are gonna like. It's also gonna reach a

157
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: price point that the Dodgers are gonna like. So then

158
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: they'll go, yeah, they'll go bidding against each other again

159
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: at some point. But as every day ticks closer and

160
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: closer to spring training, it does point more. I feel

161
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: like in the Mets favor to bring in a guy

162
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: like Kyle Tucker, and the idea of having a one

163
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: two three in this lineup of being Lindor, Soto and Tucker.

164
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: That's that's arguably one of the best one two threes

165
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 2: in baseball.

166
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: Oh definitely.

167
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 3: And again, is this a pipe tream right now? Probably yeah,

168
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: but why not, Like, if you're into it, you're into it.

169
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: And the fact that there's a very good report or

170
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 3: reports of the Blue Jays team that's been the perceived

171
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 3: favorite after the Blue Jay's pulled in because Zumo Okamola

172
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: over the weekend, who now they're saying is probably going

173
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 3: to be the super utility man that lends itself more

174
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 3: that they probably favor Bobaschet, possibly because they might get

175
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: a shorter deal on him over Kyle Tucker. And all

176
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: of a sudden, the markets dries up fast for all

177
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: these guys kind of when one science, but they also

178
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: get more competitive for everybody else. It's it's strange offseason. Still, Yeah,

179
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: it's a strange offseason.

180
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: Also, there is there's nothing going on, Like I wish

181
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 2: I could have more juice for you guys, but there's

182
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: This is the point of the off season every single

183
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 2: year where normally James goes to Taiwan or Thailand or wherever.

184
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: Where do you go Philippines last year, Yeah, with the

185
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: Southeast Asia last year, Thailand and Vietnam. But like, at

186
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: the same time, there's there's nothing, there's nothing. We have

187
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: to take every single bit of news that we have

188
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: and talk about. And we've always said that Kyle Tucker

189
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: on a short term deal made sense for the Mets.

190
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: He makes sense for every single team in baseball, and

191
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: the fact that we have a little inkling of that,

192
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: we got to run with it.

193
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: Cody Bellinger, Fan Bravaldez, Like the Mets are probably going

194
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: to be involved with these guys, like we've been telling

195
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: you guys all winter, like at the price points and

196
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: to your point before about not a lot going on

197
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 3: in this part of the off season right now, but

198
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: still a lot could potentially happen. Did you catch the

199
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: other Will Salmon article that went on The Athletic on Monday?

200
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: No, I don't, I just I know. The other big

201
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: Mets news is that we signed Christian Arroyo for former

202
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: top prospect Christian Arroyo. Don't forget that.

203
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, the parade starts now Christian Royo about it's gonna

204
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: be the unbelievable shortstop of Syracuse. But it was a

205
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: mail bag article from Will and Tim Brittle. Okay, it

206
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: was a lot about the chaos of the Mets right now.

207
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: This is the first question was about the political climate

208
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: in the clubhouse. And there were questions about, you know,

209
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: is this a reset year? And there was another big

210
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: question something we've kind of alluded to in the past,

211
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: and this comes from Robs.

212
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: Steve Cohen was sold to us.

213
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: As a lifetime fan of the Mets, but specifically losing

214
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 3: someone like Pete Alonzo's enormous gut punch has actually turned

215
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: my children off from the team. There's no way to

216
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 3: argue that team will be better without Pete, at least

217
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 3: for the next three or four seasons. Why the Mets,

218
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 3: specifically Cohen not value Pete and Tim went into a

219
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: bit of a diatribe about the fact that Steve wasn't exactly.

220
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: The biggest Met fan growing up.

221
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was more of Alex Steve, you know, kind

222
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 3: of a loser baseball fan, Yankees nicks like that kind

223
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 3: of thing. I thought that was interesting, an interesting little

224
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: Talian article like this. Lots lots of good, good tidbits

225
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: in this article. So also, like, do you think is

226
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: realistic that we can get Frambervaldez ranger swaz to a

227
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: long term deal and will Samon goes a long deal

228
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: for Valdrez.

229
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening.

230
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 2: Yet, Like what that's That's one thing to talk about too,

231
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: is again the obsession with Mets fans and the starting pitching.

232
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: And again, we know what happened. It would be tone

233
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: deaf for us to think that starting pitching wasn't a

234
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: major reason why we didn't make the playoffs last year.

235
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: But again, doesn't mean we should go crazy and give

236
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: Framber Valde as a contract that you're gonna regret. Definitely

237
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: doesn't mean we should go crazy and give Ranger Swaz

238
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: a contract that we should go get. Unfortunately, for the players,

239
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: the teams have all the leverage in the current climate

240
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 2: of the free agent market right now, Like the teams

241
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 2: don't have to sign you. You need to sign with

242
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 2: a team in order to get paid US currency next year.

243
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 2: The longer they wait, the less power that these guys have,

244
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: Like there's no reason for the Mets to jump the gun.

245
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: We know Frambervalde is gonna be good next year. We

246
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 2: know Ranger Swarez is gonna be good next year. We

247
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: even have an inkling that a guy that the Mets

248
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: missed out on that we haven't talked about on here yet,

249
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: Tatsui and I, was probably gonna be pretty good, better

250
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: than what the Mets had last season. Yes, but at

251
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: the same time, it's about the contract, what it looks

252
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: like in the future, and there there's just bigger plans

253
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: for this team.

254
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 3: I think, possibly even true with Kazuma Okamoda. I keep

255
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 3: getting confused because talk about these things in the wind up.

256
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: I know we haven't done a Mets up in like

257
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: a week.

258
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: Since then, it's been a full like almost like eight

259
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: or nine days since we recorded I think an episode

260
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: for Mets up, because we did a lot before we

261
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: you know, the new year, like all the Japanese players

262
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: are moving on what looked like very very attainable contracts

263
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: like Emai's was dirt cheap, Okamotos is gonna end up

264
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: being cheap. Murakami was basically nothing. That was a coin

265
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: flip at that point. Like these contracts also kind of

266
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: tells you where the rest of baseball felt for these

267
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: guys too, Like this isn't just the Mets being anti

268
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: them or being afraid to give out the money for

269
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: these guys.

270
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: Totally, especially a guy like Imai, where he theoretically signed

271
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 3: a one year, seventeen million dollar contract, it can go

272
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 3: up to twenty one.

273
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: Million dollars with his with his why what's it called.

274
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: I can't remember the escalators escalator's incentives for throwing more

275
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: innings or he cannot back in if he doesn't do that,

276
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 3: and it could be a max max three year, sixty

277
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 3: three million dollar contract.

278
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: That's like Taiwan Walker money.

279
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: That's like the Luis Severino guy again from a team

280
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: that doesn't spend money.

281
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: Same abe as Franky mantzas last year. But it's like,

282
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: that's that's kind of the sense of who tas, who.

283
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: AMAI is right now.

284
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: I know that the initial projections of him to start

285
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: the offseason we're closing in an eight for two hundred,

286
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: wound up being nowhere even remotely in the same not

287
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: even the same ballpark, and I have the same state,

288
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: they the sound, the same galaxy as that.

289
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 2: The Boys had that first guy.

290
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did.

291
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 3: But even still even up to the last week, I

292
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 3: was like, he probably still gets four or five year deal. Yes,

293
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: that part's fair, and maybe maybe other teams were in

294
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: on Yimai, but the fact that the Astros often the

295
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: opportunity to go into the free market one year later,

296
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: maybe that was a deciding factor. But also we kind

297
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: of had reports that Me's didn't even seem kind of interested,

298
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: Yankees didn't even seem kind of interested. Two teams that

299
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: could really use a starting pitcher with a milecame of

300
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: upside and a nice floor.

301
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: Along with all the other teams major League Baseball that

302
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: could use starting pitching.

303
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Every single team like these.

304
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: The other thing that happens as part of the offseason

305
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: is that the guys with the qualifying offers are just

306
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 3: stuck in the mud. Like I know Bellingium Regman don't

307
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 3: have them, but everybody else It's just like, Wow, these

308
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 3: teams do not want to sacrifice the assets, the draft pick,

309
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 3: the International slop pool money, especially the teams like the Mets.

310
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 3: They're going to be over the luxury tax because the

311
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 3: sharper penalty. It's it's it's really it's just slow right now.

312
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: It was really so slow. It is an absolute slog

313
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: Is there is there anything that people can look forward to?

314
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: Do we have anything?

315
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: Well, I mean we've got Bill Madden, that's sure.

316
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: Bill Madden did tell us like because uh, one of

317
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: the aggregators tweet. Aggregators have been on fire this week.

318
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: I'll tip the cap. Oh awesome, some of the best

319
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: slop that I've seen in a really long time. We

320
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: got one comparing the Mets and the Yankees and be like,

321
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: I think the Mets might actually be better than the Yankees,

322
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: and everyone's like, who cares, it doesn't matter. They don't

323
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: compete with each other. But Bill Madden quote tweeted about

324
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: the rosters and it was like, you know this Mets

325
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: team's not too far off from being better than the Yankees.

326
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: And we've said something like what stay tuned, stay tuned, Yeah,

327
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 2: which Bill Madden. Bill Madden's been early and right to

328
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: basically every massive piece of news in the Mets world,

329
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: like the last two or three years, when and when

330
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: no one else has leaks like this is kind of

331
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: what winds up happening.

332
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: But again, like I can't lose the fact in my

333
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: mind that the Mets are going to do things like

334
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 3: the Mets going to and again I.

335
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: Think they will.

336
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of Mets fans right now

337
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 3: that kind of want to be doing me and gloomy.

338
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 3: And that's fair, for sure, everyone can do whatever they want,

339
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: Like that's okay, but there's just there's so many free

340
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: agents on the market right now.

341
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: Like what's really cool about what's going on right now

342
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: is that if you are dooming gloom you can kind

343
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: you can kind of forget about the Mets for like

344
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: a week or two and like relax and not this podcast,

345
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: not this podcast. You always listen to us, of course,

346
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: but like you theoretically like probably could turn off your

347
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: Mets brain except for the Mets. The podcast for about

348
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: two weeks, and you wouldn't miss anything, I don't think again,

349
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: you'd be missing like Christian Arroyo getting signed.

350
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 3: No, And like we're not even getting like the depth

351
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 3: bullpen signings right now still and we still have a

352
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: very incomplete bullpen. But this is a very this is

353
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: traditionally a slow week because this is the last week

354
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 3: of arbitration figures being exchanged. So this probably is a

355
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: week we're a little bit less than we all often

356
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 3: expect could be happening. But there's there's like a hundred

357
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 3: war left projected war left on players in the free

358
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: agent market right now. Like it's a really still quite

359
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 3: a good class with a lot of impact players out there.

360
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 3: And again it still starts and ends with Kyle Tucker.

361
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: Like at worst with Kyle Tucker. I really think the

362
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 3: floor on a five year deal for Kyle Tucker is

363
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: like thirty percent better than the league average.

364
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: With the bat, it's like a five win player and.

365
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: A slightly below average defender. Yeah probably, Yeah, Like I'll

366
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: see a fight. He was a five win player last

367
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: year and he wasn't even that good for half of

368
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 3: the season and he missed three weeks through the injury

369
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: two years ago. He was a five win player. He

370
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 3: was a four win player. He only played seventy eight games.

371
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: Like this is I don't know. I think the I

372
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: think the world's overthinking Kyle Tucker a tiny bit right now.

373
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: This is the weird spot where like we love eggs

374
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: of you Loo, we love baseball savant, we love seeing

375
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: that stuff, and I think it's good. But at times

376
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: for a guy who like I don't think Kyle Tucker

377
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: does anything bad. Right, there's no real bad numbers from

378
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker. He just might not have the elite, elite

379
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: elite stuff that you see, but the numbers have just

380
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: been good year in and year out.

381
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 3: It is strange that his bat speed has drifted like

382
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 3: it's just it's just not elite like you want to

383
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 3: see elite bat speed. Like it's kind of oscillly between

384
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: like seventy one and a half and seventy two and

385
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: a half for the last few years.

386
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: You'd like, also, bet we also know that that can change.

387
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: The Blue Jays just did it. They took the corpse

388
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: of George Springer's body and he just all of a

389
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: sudden became an elite hitter again.

390
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 3: I think cale Talker's played. He played most of last

391
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 3: year injured. He said that like he got crapped the

392
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: year before because he didn't play through what was a

393
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: bit of a we don't know how bad that ashers

394
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: are weird with that stuff. Yeah, it seemed like a

395
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: take attack injury, a hairline fraction of shame.

396
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: We don't really know.

397
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 3: And then last year he had the again another I

398
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 3: don't know why this guy keeps getting airline fractures, but.

399
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: Maybe that was scared.

400
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the problem.

401
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: Not enough milk on this slide the second phase, the

402
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 3: hairline fraction on the top of his hand, and he

403
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: didn't hit on the run for like months after Again

404
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 3: he was on almost a forty home run pace in

405
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: a difficult park for left handed hitters to home run

406
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: off of the year before, when through the first half

407
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 3: of the season he was on a forty home run pace.

408
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe he just got a lot better and we

409
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: didn't realize because of weird circumstances the last two years.

410
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 3: Like it'd be such a steal to get him again,

411
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 3: like a five for two it would be. And again

412
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 3: he could play the outfield for a few years, and

413
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: you want you want to pick up a first basement

414
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: in two years.

415
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: Us.

416
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't mean he did a lot through the minors.

417
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: He did in twenty nineteen for a little while. Like

418
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 3: there's also does he play left field?

419
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: A right field?

420
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: Again?

421
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 3: I don't care who cares, doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

422
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 3: He could play left. He's definitely good enough to do it.

423
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: I don't think so of the is good enough to

424
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: play left. But it's just, oh god, we need I

425
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: need some juice, right, I need some action from this

426
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: Mets team.

427
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: I just want some I want some signings.

428
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 3: I'm trusting the process, but man, I want something to

429
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 3: go down. Even that rumor that went out but the

430
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 3: Yankees Edward Cabrera that people were like obsessed with that

431
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: for eight hours, and Craig Mish Marlins beat rather was like,

432
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 3: it's not even close to having what are you guys

433
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: talking about.

434
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: It's like, no, this is not going on. It's just

435
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: the the baseball world is starred for news, and I

436
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: can't I can't wait for the conversations from people like

437
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: we need a free agent deadline, all the all the

438
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: nonsense rumors and takes that are gonna come out. No,

439
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: bad can't do that to the players, they will literally

440
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: never make any money.

441
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 3: No, and again, just go back to this. Everyone should

442
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: read again both these Will Salmon articles, this one with

443
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: Tim Britton.

444
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: Maybe we gotta get Will on. Maybe this's what we

445
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: do see if we can get will on this week.

446
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: Love to reach out to will see and get him on.

447
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: Here we go.

448
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: Do you think sterns and cohen Ce twenty twenty six

449
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 3: out of a transition year from Marquez and Tim goes

450
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: On The day he was introduced as the Mets present

451
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 3: base operations October twenty twenty three, Stern said, I don't

452
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: know that I would ever say that year here should

453
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 3: be a recent year.

454
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: I think that's a good reminder for all of us.

455
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 3: Yes, because we still have one so over Cisco Lindor

456
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: and then Tim expanded.

457
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: Would look like it would be a recent year.

458
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty four ended with the team's best season

459
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 3: in the last decade. This is the changing of the

460
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 3: guard season. But when the Mets still feel should include

461
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: postseason play, yea, that is where we're at.

462
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 2: I totally think that. I I don't know where people

463
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: have gotten the idea that the Mets are not interested

464
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 2: in being the postseason not trying to be a postseason

465
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 2: team that seemingly came out of nowhere, and I got

466
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: to assume it's coming from the mutants on a WFA N. Yeah,

467
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I think that's fully Joe Biningo

468
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: doing that, right, it's shout out Joebeningo though. I mean,

469
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: the guy was like an insane caller who became a

470
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: radio host. I love Jobingo, Joepiningo got me through my

471
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: my maybe not the best guy, no what maybe not

472
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 2: the best guy, but okay, the best guy. That's not

473
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: what I as a radio host when yeah, like twenty

474
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: three years old, delivering pizza.

475
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 3: I was like, I love listening to joke Ingo. Oh

476
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: he's he's an absolute, he's entertainment. He's entertainment to the fullest. Yeah,

477
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 3: And just there's just this it's hard to get past

478
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 3: this impatience though. Right now, you really just want something

479
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: to happen, You really want something to be done. Like

480
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: what's like if you look at the regular figures of

481
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 3: the Mets world right now. The thing is they've been

482
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: tweeting recently. It's just it's just sad.

483
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe this is when we get back on the metstuff.

484
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: Twitter and see what we can get away with.

485
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: Right now, we'll just start crazy stuff.

486
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: Okay, want to like plan a tweet on the podcast.

487
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: See if people get in on the joke. What's something

488
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: that we're gonna tweet in the next week. You come

489
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: up with one, I'll come up with one.

490
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 3: We can say something about like is this the Mets

491
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: new starting ace or METSI a new starting picture? Is

492
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: just that picture of grim is is holding the ball.

493
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: That's a good one. I like that, something that's good.

494
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: I think. I think definitely a mock trade goes in

495
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: there where I'm I'm gonna include Kevin Parata. There's no

496
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: doubt Kevin Parata for a good player for Freddie Peralta.

497
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kevin Parada, Kevin Prava and Matthew Allen who's not

498
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: in the organization anymore.

499
00:18:59,040 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: For Freddie Parolta.

500
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 2: I'm and I'm definitely on that. That's a good one

501
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: we do.

502
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: Can we do one more joke?

503
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 2: Oh wait?

504
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: How about like the Mets need to bring back Jose Gleasias.

505
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: Yes, or I heard the Mets need a left handed

506
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 2: or right handed hitting outfielder and Jose Iglacias shragg and

507
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: fly balls there he goes go.

508
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: One, Hey, look at us. If we just want to tweet,

509
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: we could just think about a couple right there on

510
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: the spot.

511
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 2: That's how it works. You guys just saw the intermachinations

512
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: of our brains.

513
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: Oh but just man, something's gotta happen. I just want something.

514
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: The whole league wants something to happen right now.

515
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: Just for some context, we we're gonna be putting out

516
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 2: episodes we have to.

517
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: That's that's how this works.

518
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,280
