00:00And there are certain decisions that people make
00:02that totally cloud your judgment of them
00:06no matter how many times they tell you they're sorry.
00:09And Schwarber represents the changing of this organization
00:13in the most easily understandable fashion.
00:17He left for $79 million.
00:20He has hit more home runs than any Red Sox since he left,
00:24I think, by double.
00:27More than Raphael Devers?
00:28A couple more.
00:30And this ownership group in 2014 gave Rusni Castillo
00:36$73 million on a total whim, on a flyer.
00:41Said, oh, this guy might come here and play well.
00:43They risked $73 million on a total unknown.
00:48And they have a guy that you could not have placed someone
00:52in this market in the brief period that he was here
00:56that appeared to have been here his entire life
00:59more than Kyle Schwarber was.
01:01We remember that playoff run.
01:03It was awesome.
01:05Kyle from Waltham.
01:06Even if he had not dominated in the National League
01:10and been a better than average player,
01:13this would have been a disgrace.
01:14But seeing Dombrowski on the broadcast watching Schwarber's home run
01:18to center field last night, it just shows me no matter what Sam Kennedy
01:24tells us tomorrow, Schwarber is the poster child of the new ownership group's
01:29mentality with this team, and it is a disgrace.
01:32Andy was a guy who wanted to be here.
01:35He was blowing up Heimbloom's phone, and Heimbloom wouldn't take the calls.
01:39Remember that?
01:40Yep.
01:40And it wasn't a lot of money.
01:42I don't, you know.
01:43No, Curtis just said it.
01:43It wasn't a lot of money.
01:44$79 million.
01:45Three years, $79 million, right, Curtis?
01:47I think it might have been four years.
01:49Yeah, I think it was like maybe like 17, 18, excuse me, a year.
01:52I mean, unbelievable.
01:53Great lead, Curtis.
01:54Great lead.
