00:00First baseman Pete Alonzo and the Baltimore Orioles, he spelled Red Sox wrong, are finalizing a five-year, $155 million contract.
00:09Sources tell ESPN Alonzo leaves the Mets to make a loaded AL East even better.
00:19Bradford was right.
00:21Score one for Bradford.
00:21He had that horn ready.
00:24So this is a double whammy.
00:25The most significant part is he's not on the Red Sox.
00:29The other part is he goes to the Orioles.
00:31So it's one thing if he stayed with the Mets, it'd be annoying.
00:33I'd be mad about it.
00:34Yeah, he's in the National League.
00:35You bring him here.
00:35You get to see him 13 times a year or whatever it is.
00:37See you in the World Series, Polar Bear.
00:39Holy smokes.
00:40This is devastating.
00:41This was a part of everybody's plan.
00:43They needed a big power hitter.
00:44Breslau even said as much.
00:46They need a first baseman.
00:47He wasn't going to cost you $400 million or, in the case of his Mets teammate last year, $700 million.
00:55He cost you $155 million for five years.
00:59How much was Rafael Devers getting for the next, like, 10 years?
01:03You got rid of all that contract.
01:04You were paying him way more.
01:06This guy plays every single game and socks dingers.
01:10Do you?
01:11I think he's a better player than Devers.
01:12He is.
01:12So that's what I think.
01:14So this is frustrating.
01:15He's a righty bat, which they've been, like, desperate for.
01:18Oh, he's a better fit.
01:19Yeah.
01:19But the fit's perfect.
01:21I agree.
01:21That's what's so frustrating about this.
01:23Because even Schwarber, you and I both like Schwarber, but you're like, all right, kind of a DH, lefty stick.
01:27Like, I'll take him.
01:28Don't get me wrong.
01:28I will take out Schwarber.
01:30But you're like, Pete Alonso, hit him third or fourth in the lineup.
01:33Have him right around Roman Anthony and maybe Bregman back.
01:36Just count on a million home runs.
01:38You can now trade Costas or do whatever you want with him.
01:40You're good to go for four years, five years.
01:42The fit is perfect, too, because...
01:44The contract's not crazy.
01:45No, that's exactly it.
01:46So, like, Passan said, he's got the following tweet.
01:49Alonso's deal with the Orioles gives him the highest AAV ever for a first baseman.
01:52AAV.
01:53He winds up with $185 million, including a $30 million salary last year.
01:57So he's talking about playing the game for...
01:59He's doing Boris a favor, basically.
02:01Yeah, yeah.
02:01And followed the same track record as Matt Chapman and Blake Snell, taking a short-term deal and turning it into a bounty.
02:05Maybe there's a separate discussion there about Bregman to put to the side.
02:08Yeah, I guess.
02:09But, okay, so he's getting $31 million a year, which tops Schwarber.
02:14AAV-wise, it's a huge deal for a first baseman.
02:16But as we know, there's plenty of first basemen who've gotten 10-, 12-year contracts.
02:19Isn't Vladimir Guerrero a first baseman?
02:20Well, is he?
02:22What is he?
02:23I thought he hadn't even been playing some third.
02:25He had been playing some DH.
02:26So they've moved him around, I thought.
02:28Oh, okay.
02:28Because Vladdy's making more money and a higher average annual value.
02:32I thought he played first base.
02:33He came up playing third base.
02:34He's played first base for the last couple years.
02:35That's what I thought.
02:36But didn't he cameo recently at third, too?
02:38So I'm trying to remember.
02:39I don't know.
02:39I'll look it up.
02:40I'm just reading you a pass and say.
02:41It's semantics anyway.
02:42But let's see.
02:43Last year, where did a big Vlad play?
02:46I thought it was over at the, yeah, 2025, 133 games at first base.
02:50Nothing at third?
02:52In 2024, he played a dozen games over there.
02:55Okay, so maybe that's what I'm thinking of.
02:56No, he's a first baseman.
02:57So he makes more money than Pete Alonso.
03:00Total.
03:00Total and average annual.
03:01I would think on AAV, yeah.
03:02So look.
03:02He signed a 14-year, $500 million deal.
03:05Oh, yeah.
03:05That's more AAV.
03:06That's way more.
03:07But whatever, it doesn't really matter.
03:09The problem with Alonso, though, is he was such a perfect fit on the field.
03:13Right-handed bat, power bat, Red Sox need all that.
03:16And he does fit into the Red Sox pay structure, I thought.
03:20I agree.
03:20So, like, all right, I'd rather pay him $155 million than pay Devers 300.
03:27Like, I just, he's a better player.
03:28I'd rather, if you want to pay him a fraction of the cost, fine.
03:31Like, I would rather do that.
03:32That makes sense.
03:33And so you got a better player on a way better deal.
03:36That should satisfy everyone.
03:38Everyone should be happy with that.
03:40And now, not only does he sign somewhere else on what I think is a pretty good deal.
03:44Like, I know Bradfield kind of laughed at us earlier when it's like, well, would you give
03:48him the Schwarber contract?
03:50Four for 120.
03:51Oh, no.
03:51Yeah, Schwarber contract.
03:52Would you give him the Schwarber contract?
03:52He said no.
03:53Yeah.
03:53I don't know.
03:54He got better.
03:55Yeah, he didn't get more.
03:55He got one more million per year more.
03:57$150 million.
03:58Like, who cares with these guys?
03:59That, in today's baseball contracts, that's really nothing.
04:03And, like, high-end contracts, that's nothing.
04:05It's not $400 million to Tucker or $500 to Vladdy or $700 to Juan Soto.
04:09Like, it's nothing compared to that.
04:12And so he was such a perfect fit, even in their pay structure.
04:15And they wouldn't go there.
04:18They gave Masataka Yoshida $90 million.
04:20And that was years ago.
04:22So they didn't make an offer to Schwarber.
04:24Do you think we're going to find out they made an offer to Alonso?
04:27I hope.
04:27I mean, I don't want to hear it.
04:29It's not going to help anybody.
04:31They better have made an offer to Schwarber.
04:33I'm sorry, to Alonso.
04:35Yeah, so then there comes, like, the interest kings thing.
04:39So, like, if they finish second to Alonso, like, there's no positive.
04:43There's no spin that you can have on this.
04:45If they finish second, that's bad.
04:47Why don't you go a little bit more?
04:48If they were, like, fourth, like, where the hell were you?
04:50What were you doing?
04:50The bottom line is they didn't get the guy who made the most sense.
04:54We've named, like, five other replacements for Bregman.
04:58Then we've named five, six other co-, maybe not aces, but, like, number two starters.
05:03We've named a bunch of these different guys.
05:05They all haven't moved yet.
05:06The one concern was, all right, Schwarber's gone.
05:10The real true power bat.
05:12Then all the attention went to Alonso.
05:14I certainly wasn't going to bet any money that they were going to sign him.
05:18But you're like, all right, that would be the offseason.
05:20That would be awesome.
05:20You get Pete Alonso.
05:21He's sort of the headline of it.
05:23Then you add a couple of other pieces around it.
05:25Hopefully Bregman's back, too.
05:26And you take a run at it.
05:28You don't get him.
05:30Like, you don't have a – what are you doing at first base?
05:33What did Lou say?
05:33Tom Smith?
05:34What did Lou say?
05:35Oh, Akimoto?
05:37We're on to Akimoto now?
05:38I mean, look.
05:39I mean, I guess.
05:40I have no idea if he's going to be a good player.
05:42Well, give me a goddamn first baseman.
05:44I don't know how –
05:44How many years ago was that?
05:45That still stands true.
05:46That's what Lou said.
05:47I don't know how anybody would know if Akimoto's going to be good or not.
05:50You can think it.
05:50I have no idea how you'd know.
05:51Maybe he'll be good, and it'll be a really good signing,
05:54and it'll be proven right.
05:55That's not what we were talking about this offseason.
05:58The top first baseman, according to most sites,
06:00were Pete Alonzo and Josh Naylor.
06:03And Josh Naylor quickly returned back to Seattle.
06:06So then you're talking about Ryan O'Hearn, Carlos Santana.
06:11I mean, Carlos Santana's like our age.
06:13Yeah.
06:13You don't want Carlos Santana.
06:15Nathaniel Lowe?
06:17They have him?
06:18Bring him back.
06:18They DFA'd him.
06:19They have him?
06:20I'm done with him after the playoffs.
06:21Is it Goldschmidt also?
06:22He's like our age?
06:23So, yeah, it's a tough go.
06:24That is bad.
06:27Not getting Alonzo is worse than trying to tell us Sonny Gray is a number two.
06:32Oh, yeah.
06:32For sure.
06:33It's way worse.
06:33For sure.
06:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:35Score one for Bradfoe.
06:36I don't know who Fleming was talking about,
06:37but apparently it wasn't Pete Alonzo.
06:38And if it was, really start shaking in your boots.
06:41This is also going to make bringing Bregman back even worse.
06:43And it's not Bregman's fault.
06:44Again, it's his contract.
06:45He did the, you know, that's how they structured it.
06:47Maybe he'll get some money.
06:48Maybe he'll get a raise or at least he'll get more years or whatever.
06:51But at the end of the offseason, if it's like, hey, guys, we got Bregman back.
06:55Like, yeah, what else?
06:56Who else is in the lineup?
06:57They're like, well, we're hoping for another good year out of story.
07:00A healthy year out of, you know, Roman Anthony and Marcelo Meyer.
07:04Who's socking dingers?
07:06They got anybody that socks dingers on this team?
07:08Well, no.
07:09Maybe Willie or Abreu who they'll trade.
07:11Like, not 30 of them.
07:11They'll get rid of Abreu.
07:13Never mind 40 or 50 of them, which Alonzo and Schwarber were capable of doing.
07:16That is devastating.
07:17Pete Alonzo, now Baltimore Oriole.
07:19You can discuss 617-779-7937.
07:22How do they salvage it, Keefe?
07:24Can they salvage the offseason?
07:26Like, Bregman and what salvages this?
07:28Anything or is there not an answer?
07:30I'm pretty shooketh.
07:31I mean, I guess if you want to go...
07:32Bregman and Otani.
07:33Yeah, yeah, no.
07:34Scoople.
07:34Go leave it there.
07:35Like, Scoople obviously would change the game.
07:37If the Dodgers trade you Otani, sure.
07:39Okay, so you're going to, like, you're saying Bregman plus an arm now and just try to really
07:43focus on it.
07:43Yeah, out-arm everybody.
07:45That's what you have to do.
07:46As far as, like, the Bats games is concerned, I don't think anything does it for me.
07:49It was Alonzo and Schwarber.
07:51Bregman-Sieger.
07:53Yeah.
07:54Bregman-Marte.
07:55Okay.
07:55I mean, it's not nothing.
07:57I wouldn't be like, oh, I don't like this offseason.
08:00I'd, like, at least listen to that.
08:01Like, sitting here now that I know Pete Alonzo's a Baltimore Oriole, that's, I guess, what
08:05I'm hoping for.
08:06But that still feels underwhelming compared to where we started the offseason.
08:10Who's playing the other hot corner for this team?
08:12That's what I want to know.
08:13Right now?
08:13Casas.
08:14Right now, Casas.
08:15Right now, Tristan Casas, who, baseball reference, projects him for 12 home runs this year.
08:19And, like, half the game's played.
08:22Man, the Pete Alonzo thing stings.
08:24And it goes to the Orioles, who were bad last year, but who knows, maybe they turn around.
08:28I didn't think I was going to feel worse when we talked to Brad.
08:30This is bad.
08:31Brad phone earlier today.
08:31This feels worse.
08:32This is terrible.
08:34This is terrible.
08:34Cool.
08:36Okay.
08:36Don't love it.
08:37Not a fan.
08:38617-779-7937.
08:41David in the car, hello.
08:44Hey, good afternoon, guys.
08:46So, this is the thing.
08:47You know, you try to stand by the Red Sox.
08:49You try to get excited about this team.
08:51And every year, it's the same thing over and over again.
08:54They do stupid moves.
08:55They don't go after the people that they should, like Alonzo, Schwerber, all these guys.
08:59It's like, you can't do that.
09:02You know, you go up on ticket pricing and everything else.
09:05People are going to the games.
09:06But you're not doing anything to make it very appealing to, you know, to keep people coming back.
09:13You know, more and more often, I find people are pulling away because of it.
09:17And it's ridiculous.
09:18Yeah.
09:18It really is.
09:19It's a shame.
09:20Yeah, I think that's where people have been.
09:23He said he wanted Schwerber over Alonzo.
09:24I think people have been there now for a while.
09:26I just, I mean, I can't believe that the Alonzos and the Schwerbers now are out of their budget.
09:31Bradford's taking a victory lap now.
09:33He's texting me.
09:34Oh, is he?
09:35Yeah, he goes, told you.
09:36You didn't tell us he was going to be a Baltimore Oriole.
09:38Where was that?
09:38No, they just told him where they weren't going to get him, basically.
09:42Although, he made way more money than Bradford thought he was going to make.
09:44I feel like by the end of the interview, he was mentioning Alonzo could go to the Red Sox, I feel like.
09:47Did he?
09:48I don't know.
09:49So, I'm going to re-listen to that, Rob.
09:51But anyways, I'm just lashing out because he hurt us badly earlier today.
09:54So, this is brutal because the way the baseball offseason goes, it does take several months.
10:01And there was a little bit of the, well, you can't really freak out until guys that you want to go off the board.
10:07Right?
10:07So, it's like, even though you don't like the timing of it, and even though it bleeds into Christmas, gets into New Year's and the whole thing,
10:12and you're like, oh, they still haven't signed anybody.
10:14When, like, the one power bat that we were talking about, even going into the season,
10:18we're like, hey, at the end of the year, if Pete Alonzo wants to leave the Mets, which he did,
10:23Red Sox should be a player.
10:24It's a no-brainer.
10:25It makes sense.
10:26Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
10:27And then a team in your division, not even the Yankees, a team in your division grabs them.
10:32That is, like, devastating.
10:34No, and I think the most devastating thing, again, people are texting,
10:37come on, Jones, give a round of applause for your boy, Breslow, which I, look, Breslow's on the list for this.
10:43It's mainly John Henry, but I'll put Breslow on the list.
10:46If Breslow signed him, I'd give him a lot of credit.
10:47I can't wait for the tweet, though, that says they were, oh, so close.
10:50So, I haven't seen it yet.
10:51I was looking for it, and maybe I've missed it, but I haven't seen a...
10:54Could they have been that close if he chose to go to Baltimore?
10:56No, I don't...
10:57And if he chose right now?
10:58So, like, he picked right now to go to Baltimore.
11:00Keith made the point earlier, there were no Interest King tweets about Schwarber.
11:03Like, there were none of those.
11:04There were no, like, fake offers to Schwarber where they were fourth on the list
11:07or the runner-up, and they just missed him.
11:09There were none of those.
11:10Let's see if there is one on Alonzo.
11:12Because then they'll know, like, they're getting raked over the goals.
11:15They did get a Zoom meeting with him, so that's true.
11:17They Zoomed him.
11:18Yep, Zoom meeting with him.
11:19So, they must know his email address.
11:23If they need to email him again, they can.
11:24But look...
11:25To wish him well in Baltimore.
11:26Look, when...
11:27I'm shocked that the Alonzos of the world are out of their price range.
11:30I'm shocked and appalled.
11:32Like, this is bad.
11:33They signed Bregman last year as a one-year deal.
11:35They signed story at $100-plus million.
11:37Like, I thought that level of deal was in their wheelhouse,
11:40and I thought they'd get something like that done.
11:42This is a sad day.
11:43It's a bad day.
11:44I mean, you're right.
11:45Now Bregman isn't even going to...
11:47Bregman's going to feel so underwhelming when he signs,
11:49if he even signs here, for, like...
11:51Yeah.
11:51I don't even...
11:52Come up with a number.
11:52Four years, 120?
11:53I don't know what the number would be.
11:55But, like, when he signs for that,
11:56the Red Sox are going to go,
11:56wait, give him $100-plus million,
11:58and we're all going to be like,
11:58so?
11:58He was already on the team.
12:00He already had him.
12:00Yeah, what's the lineup look like?
12:02You know, you just don't have...
12:04Like, you're going to need an MVP season out of Roman Anthony,
12:07because I don't think you can duplicate what Trevor Story did,
12:10and hopefully Bregman plays a bunch of games.
12:13And even then, 20 home runs, 25 home runs?
12:16Look, I all along have wanted Bregman back.
12:18No, no.
12:18I wanted him more than Alonzo.
12:19I wanted him more than Schwabers.
12:20It's a good combination, though, if you have them both.
12:21Well, that's the thing.
12:22You needed Bregman plus another big bat.
12:25I just wanted Bregman back,
12:27and I like what he brings to the table.
12:29We were talking about some of this stuff with Seager earlier,
12:31which Bradfield also crapped all over,
12:32and it's like he has a winning quotient,
12:34and he's been in a lot of big games,
12:36and I like that with him, and I value that.
12:39Although, Alonzo's been in it.
12:40Schwabers won a World Series.
12:42Alonzo's been in big games.
12:43So, they had some of that, too.
12:44So, I had Bregman at the top.
12:46Stinks.
12:46I had Bregman at the top of my list all along,
12:47but the idea was Bregman and Schwabers and Alonzo,
12:51and now we're two days into the winter meetings,
12:53and they're both gone.
12:54Both gone, and it's like, yeah,
12:56and then as far as baseball is concerned,
12:58that is like quick.
12:59That is like with urgency for these guys
13:01to both be signed by December 12th.
13:04All right, last year, the Red Sox had 0-30 home run guys.
13:08Yep.
13:08I didn't start at 55, Joe.
13:10They started at 30.
13:11They didn't have 55.
13:12They didn't have a 50.
13:12They didn't have a 40.
13:13We said Abreu, right?
13:14A 22 or whatever it was, 25?
13:15No, it was Trevor Story actually led the team in dongs
13:18because he played way more games than Abreu,
13:19but he led the team with 25 home runs.
13:22Does Trevor Story hit more or less home runs in 2026?
13:25Less.
13:26100%.
13:26Willier Abreu, is he even on the team next year?
13:30He was second with 22.
13:32He's probably on the team, but who knows at this point.
13:34That ends the list of 20 home run hitters for the Red Sox.
13:38Yeah, but Bregman.
13:39The Yankees have like seven of them.
13:40But Bregman was trending towards it.
13:42If you pro-rate it over 162 games,
13:44it was not going to pro-rate it over play in.
13:46Ability is one of the great abilities.
13:50No, availability is the most important ability
13:51wherever the hell it goes.
13:53How many 20 home run hitters did the Yankees have last year?
13:56I feel like it was probably a lot.
13:57I know they play in a joke of a ballpark,
13:59but they had one, two, three, 30-plus home run guys,
14:03and then one, two, three, four more.
14:06One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
14:10They had seven guys hit over 20 and an eighth hit 19.
14:13Seven!
14:14Yeah, those are just home runs, though.
14:15Those are just out of the ballpark home runs.
14:17Yeah, but they also beat you in the playoffs.
14:18Yeah, no, Bregman just said the other day,
14:20he's like, the one surefire way to score runs is home runs.
14:22It's so true.
14:23Like, it's very simplistic,
14:24but when you look at the teams at the end,
14:27Dodgers hit a lot of home runs.
14:28They also won the World Series.
14:29The Mariners had a really good year.
14:31They socked a lot of dingers, too.
14:33The Red Sox don't hit dingers.
14:35No, not last year.
14:36And I'm not loving their chances this year.
14:39I'm not forecasting a ton for this year, either.
14:40Nick, the text line wants it.
14:42Where's the sad trombone?
14:42Yeah, yeah, we...
14:43Polar Bear.
14:47Great nickname.
14:48Everything about him.
14:49Will Fleming.
14:50Don't...
14:50Don't check the mentions right about now,
14:52is what I would say.
14:53I'd stay out of your mentions.
14:54And you can't take your eyes off his mom.
14:56Go look at some moms.
14:57Get to cheer yourself up.
14:58I might do that during the break.
15:00Go find...
15:00Go to moms.com.
15:01See what they got going on today.
15:02Moms.com.
15:04Yeah.
15:05Pete Alonzo...
15:05Matt, I'm cool.
15:07Yeah.
15:07I agree.
15:08Well, that was his last beef.
15:09Will Clark.
15:10Yeah.
15:10And they got their hands full out there in San Francisco with Devers.
15:12They got to keep paying Devers.
15:13It's a great question.
15:14What are they going to do at first base, though?
15:16I don't know.
15:16Cassis.
15:17They're going to play eight guys in the field.
15:18They did play a lot of first basemen last year, didn't they?
15:21Yeah.
15:22They did a lot of guys.
15:22Do you like the bull?
15:24I did.
15:25Abe Toro?
15:26We'll have three weeks.
15:26Romy Gonzalez, come on down.
15:28Romy will play there against lefties.
15:29Yep.
15:30It's got, once again, a lot of mixing and matching.
15:32First base platoon again.
15:33Rob Rex Snyder, get ready to learn first base, buddy.
15:35No, no.
15:35Nathaniel Lowe looks like a guy dressing up as a baseball player.
15:37This came out last night.
15:39Like, Rex Snyder, I don't think they're in on bringing him back.
15:41Take him!
15:42Yeah, fine.
15:43So, like, you don't even have that platoon anymore.
15:46You don't even have the lefty killers?
15:47Nope.
15:47Here come the lefty killers.
15:50Yeah, I got nothing for first base.
15:52Remember we were trying to move every Tom, Dick, and Harry over to first base after Deverson?
15:57Christian Campbell's like, I'll do it.
15:58Everybody tried it.
15:59Yeah.
16:00Okay.
16:01Lou says Akimoto.
16:02I don't really know anything about this person.
16:04If he's good, then...
16:05I'm saying he might be able to play, but, like, that feels really underwhelming.
16:08We might pop our heads up in July and go, wow, great signing.
16:12But sitting here right now, even if they got it, which I guess I'd take at this point,
16:16that feels pretty underwhelming.
16:18There's a lot of really good Japanese players in the league,
16:20but would you be a little scared based off of the last Japanese player you signed
16:24and how he just slaps singles to the left field and grounds out to second base?
16:28A little bit.
16:28That was a Bloom front office and a Bloom signing, so a little.
16:31Maybe he learns first base.
16:32He raked in the World Baseball Classic, though.
16:35He's too itty-bitty for first base.
16:35We looked this up.
16:36I remember he was on your list and we kind of talked too late.
16:38He's pocket-sized.
16:38He's shorter than Dan Ball.
16:40You can't put him in first base.
16:41I was just going to say the same thing.
16:42That's a new unit of measure slash...
16:45Height.
16:46Yeah.
16:46Anytime.
16:46Who's the guy that you were looking up that looks like Dan Ball?
16:48Hunter Hayes.
16:49Well, that was Hunter Hayes.
16:50Oh, yeah, but he's smaller than Hunter Hayes.
16:52Who is?
16:53No, Hunter Hayes is smaller than Dan Ball.
16:54No, Hunter Hayes is pocket-sized.
16:56Yoshida is smaller than Hunter Hayes.
16:57Don't confuse the listener, Nick.
16:59Nobody knows who Hunter Hayes is.
17:00Everybody has pronouns.
17:01Come on.
17:01Yeah, you're throwing everybody off.
17:03Hunter Hayes is 5'6".
17:03Who's tall?
17:04I think Yoshida dwarfs him, but he's no Dan Ball.
17:07617-779-7937.
17:09Tough day today.
17:10Yeah, this was not my favorite.
17:11You started the day where business is picking up.
17:13Hey, Roberts, get ready for it.
17:15Pete Alonzo to the Orioles.
17:17Good grief.
17:18I'm usually the one, Keith.
17:19The whole thing has been a disaster.
17:20I'm really Heyman.
17:21John Heyman, first thing he's gotten right.
17:23So I'm usually the one who gets the rug pulled out from me, Keith.
17:27Like, usually I'm the gullible one when it comes to the rug.
17:28I'm like, I don't know.
17:29I'm not counting about on Juan Soto.
17:31This stinks.
17:31And you're like, no, Jones, come on.
17:33Don't be crazy.
17:34And even you feel a little got this year.
17:36I feel got.
17:37And you have.
17:37It just seemed like everything lined up.
17:38You have better insight on this than I do.
17:40Normally, I'm just like, ah, they'll sign him.
17:42They're the Red Sox.
17:42They'll figure it out.
17:43It was like the player fit, the position fit, the spot in the order.
17:48The money, though, most importantly to John Henry, wasn't one of these crazy deals.
17:52They gave Trevor Story a lot of money.
17:53Think about some of the players they've extended.
17:56They've guaranteed Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony a ton of money, right?
18:00Yep.
18:01But not silly money, not like over-the-top money like Vlad Guerrero's $500 million.
18:06Remember last year at this time?
18:07We were like, hey, they could get Vlad Guerrero in a year.
18:10Just wait on that.
18:11Yep.
18:11That was sad.
18:12People said that.
18:13Yep.
18:13Oh, depending on how the next week goes, I might be able to make myself available.
18:17Yeah.
18:18I hate to line up with everybody else against you, my guy, Craig Breslow.
18:22And not to pile on Will Fleming.
18:23I do not like where it's going.
18:24I don't know how many people are smiling right now.
18:26He promised smiles.
18:27And smiling is my favorite.
18:29But I don't see a lot of smiles right now.
18:31I don't want to pile on Will Fleming, but you lied to us.
18:35You lied to us.
18:36You lied to us through Twitter.
18:37And we're pretty angry about it.
18:38We are real upset.
18:396.7.
18:39We are sad.
18:407.7.
18:417.9.
18:427.93.
18:437.
18:43You can jump in live for WEI Afternoons.
18:45I'm sure they'll have this covered.
