00:00the answer tells you everything you need to know when he says well we're not going to get into

00:04particulars you know why because they weren't even in the freaking universe that's why and they

00:09weren't in the universe with pete alonzo either and so i when you look at it happening the way

00:15it's happening my question is what do you want well look tell me what what do the red sox want

00:22are you talking to the red sox or the fans no well both i mean really more the red sox

00:27what do you want tell me what it is that you think you're going to find on the market

00:32when you say you need a premium bat but you don't want to spend 100 or 150 million bucks

00:38what is it that you expect to find them because i can sell you i'll give you the old tommy boy line

00:44i can put a dog dump in a box and put a guarantee on it and sell it to you if you want it that'll

00:50be guaranteed but it's a it's a pile of crap at the end of the day so what is it that you want

00:56and that you think you can add to your team without actually paying anything for it what what what is

01:04going on here so now and i'm a little bit torn because i keep hearing some different things

01:10okay what the first one is obvious there's ownership just not want to spend money on big

01:16game players anymore and by the way pete alonzo doesn't even qualify and you know what

01:22kyle swarber doesn't really qualify either the big contracts now in major league baseball are not

01:28150 million dollar deals they're 350 million dollar deals that's what they are and in fact

01:35even those might out might be outdated because otani and soto got 700 million dollar deals so if you

01:43don't want to pay 150 million you don't want to win and you don't want to compete not really

01:50you want to make it look like you're going to compete or you look like you want to win but you

01:56really don't ah thank you hit on it there mass so what is it what is it what do you want

02:04because the the i can live with the swarber thing i said this yesterday they were never going to get

02:10swarber swarber had caught you know it was a qualifying offer attached to him soon as that

02:15happened i said he's out forget swarber they're not going to do that but this and i don't even

02:22love alonzo that much but how many true right-handed power hitters are available on the market alex

02:28bregman doesn't have the power this guy has now alex bregman might be a more complete player and i'm not

02:34going to cry if he comes back but you need like a 30 homer guy in the middle of that lineup

02:40and they don't want to pay for it correct good luck what are we doing here running it like a

02:48mid-market operation really you know what are we doing now for years you know what i'll see on april

02:521st like forget you know we'll see what happens on april 1st because what's happening between now and
