00:00It seemed kind of like the perfect guy, and five for 155 was too much.

00:04What were you doing?

00:05Well, three years.

00:06What are you doing?

00:07Well, here's what maybe you didn't know is that Pete Alonzo is old.

00:11He's not.

00:11That was another item from Tim Healy.

00:14He's old.

00:15The Red Sox were wary of Pete Alonzo because of his age.

00:19Pete Alonzo just turned 31.

00:22I just said this.

00:2331.

00:23I just had a birthday party.

00:24On December 7th.

00:25Did he even go?

00:26Alex Bregman.

00:26You're too old!

00:27Is that a trampoline park?

00:28Alex Bregman, Keefe.

00:29I got bad news for the Red Sox.

00:31How old's he?

00:3131.

00:32The heck?

00:3332 in March.

00:34Don't sign him.

00:35So he's older.

00:35He is.

00:36So Bregman's older than Alonzo.

00:38Cattell Marte?

00:39They've been linked to him, right?

00:40I mean, Heyman and Morosi just gabbing about them, hollering at each other about Cattell

00:44Marte?

00:45He's a senior citizen compared to these guys.

00:47Already 32.

00:48Already 32?

00:4933 next October.

00:51So, I don't...

00:52Come on.

00:53Next October?

00:54Yeah.

00:54It's like a year from now.

00:56Well, I was just saying, in the playoffs, he could turn 30.

00:58He could be a Larry Bird 33 in the playoffs.

00:59Peter Aronzo's going to be 32 next December.

01:01Yeah, he's going to be 31 now.

01:03He'll be 33 in the playoffs if you get there, Keefe.

01:05That's all.

01:06He'll have a playoff birthday.

01:08Good point.

01:08Yeah.

01:08If he's digging in Game 2 of the World Series...

01:10Next season, he will be, at some point, in our cover, 33.

01:14Uh-huh.

01:15So, I don't...

01:16Like, do they understand how to even cover their tracks?

01:18Like, I kind of appreciate...

01:20I kind of appreciate they're like, guys, we weren't even close.

01:22We were nowhere near that offer.

01:24Okay?

01:24Like, we weren't second.

01:25We might not have been third.

01:26Like, we were nowhere near it.

01:28To say he's too old?

01:29Too old.

01:30Like, you're worried about how...

01:31Can't win with him.

01:32Worried about how he's going to age.

01:33And out the other side of your mouth, you're in on Alex Bregman and Cattell Marte, among

01:37others.

01:38How old's Suarez?

01:39How old's Sonny Gray?

01:40A good point.

01:42Sonny Gray is, what, 36?

01:44No, he's 34, I think.

01:46Or whatever.

01:46No.

01:47Oh, maybe he is 36.

01:48You looked that up.

01:49I'm looking at him.

01:49Suarez is 34.

01:51Suarez is 34.

01:52They're in on all old players.

01:53He's 36.

01:54Sonny Gray is 36.

01:55Nothing but old players.

01:57And they're like, yeah, we don't know about that Pete Alonso.

01:59Pete Alonso is going to be 35 next July.

02:02Better than October.
