00:00why do you think david stearns keeps going after former yankees as these moves out of spite or
00:05these actually good players to add to a roster i think it's the latter there i don't think it
00:11has anything to do with spite and i think if there's anyone that's spiteful it very well could
00:14just be yankee fan reaction because even if they didn't necessarily want devin williams and luke
00:19weaver back at the prices that they signed with the mets they hate the idea of seeing guys i've
00:23had levels of success and brought them happiness now at a crosstown rival and that's justified and
00:28i don't blame them for feeling that way david stearns has been adamant on bringing talents that
00:33can handle big markets and that's why juan soto who we all knew had checked off every box you're
00:38looking for the one box he had yet to check off was his ability to handle a big market he was in dc
00:44he was in san diego but that pales in comparison to something like new york city and to see him
00:49dominate with the yankees was everything that the mets needed to see to know that he was their guy
00:54the same thing can be said with clay holmes on being creative with him as a starter and now the
00:58same can be said with guys like devin williams who david stearns already knew plenty he worked with
01:03him for years in milwaukee he's the reason why williams became a star closer after he traded hater
01:08to the potteries a couple years ago so when you just look at what these guys have done in the
01:12yankees organization there's been a lot of success the mets like that success and they know that they
01:17don't have to worry about an adjustment period that would otherwise be the case for guys that they
01:22landed at the traded line
01:24so
