00:00We did have a signing just a little while ago, as we still have some free agents out

00:05there.

00:06The fisherman, Charlie Morton, keeping it going, Scotty, as he's going to make a stop

00:12at pretty much everywhere along the eastern seaboard at some point.

00:16He now will stop in Baltimore for one year, 15 million bucks.

00:20Charlie Morton, one of the guys in the Oriole rotation a year from now.

00:25How about that?

00:26Charlie Morton keeps getting real deals.

00:27What is happening here?

00:28Go away.

00:30Well, yeah, the fisherman wants to keep playing.

00:34I mean, he wasn't that bad in Atlanta last year, I guess.

00:37I mean, he wasn't that bad.

00:39Yes, he was.

00:40Now, the top five remaining free agents in Major League Baseball, of course, Roki Suzaki,

00:47the pitcher who I saw today, the agent said, Scotty, that he is close to making his decision

00:55on where he's going to play.

00:56Now, remember, that's not a money thing.

00:58Everyone can really only offer the same amount of money.

01:00That's really down to where he wants to play.

01:02So we'll see where that is.

01:04Dodgers get everyone.

01:05Dodgers.

01:06Dodgers get everyone.

01:07So it'll probably get them, too.

01:09Alex Bregman, Pete Alonso, Anthony Santander, and Jack Flaherty, the other top four guys.

01:17I have seen in the papers here in New York that there is a problem between the Mets and

01:23Scott Boris in terms of how much money in years they want to give Pete Alonso.

01:29Obviously, Boris wants it all, and the Mets seem not to be willing.

01:32How about the Mets?

01:33All of a sudden, they're not willing to open up the wallet for a guy who's been there for

01:38a long time, Pete Alonso.

01:39Yeah, I think it's, frankly, disturbing.

01:44I've never believed.

01:45I told you a hundred times, I said, I don't think they're going to pay him.

01:48I don't think they're going to give him what he wants.

01:51And that's because they gave all that money to Soto.

01:53Another one, Bregman.

01:54They treat Bregman like he's 80 years old.

01:56They treat him like he has no career left whatsoever.

02:00Nobody wants him.

02:01I am surprised that Santander doesn't have a job yet with that pop, and I'm even more

02:06surprised that Jack Flaherty doesn't have a job because, I mean, the Dodgers treated

02:10Jack Flaherty like he was Drysdale, unless that's fact.

02:16You would think he was Whitey Ford, the way he was treated by the Dodgers, and how a great

02:23and so magnificent pitcher, just unhittable, and now the guy can't find a job?

02:29You have got to be kidding me.

02:32It doesn't make a lot of sense, and I'll say this too about Alonso, where the Mets need

02:36to be careful.

02:37If they actually want him back, I would just go and pay him the money because if they let

02:42this linger on a little bit more, Boris is going to go get some $200 million deal from

02:47some dopey team like the Angels, and he's going to talk Pete into taking it, and he's

02:51going to go play somewhere else.

02:52So the Mets better figure it out too.

02:53Just like Burns did with the Diamondbacks.

02:55Burns wanted no part of that.

02:57He just went and they gave him the most money, mercenary hire, again there.

03:02So I think you're right.
