00:00Best move by the Mets
00:01Well, you mentioned it
00:03I'm going to go with the Peralta
00:05Now, I'm sure if you look at the values
00:07That they assign to all the prospects
00:10It'll look negative to some people
00:11Based on the fact that Jed Williams
00:14Is a very good
00:15Prospect and so is Sprode
00:16But the Mets absolutely needed
00:18To get a number one pitcher
00:20The prices were very, very high
00:21And all these trades
00:22I mean, all of them
00:24Shane Boz
00:25And this guy is the best guy
00:27Who's been traded
00:28I mean, obviously
00:29He's not school
00:30Nobody is
00:30But he is the number one pitcher
00:32I happen to love Freddie Peralta
00:34He'll be great
00:35He was traded in the clubhouse
00:36He was a guy who actually
00:37Offered to translate for me
00:39In that Milwaukee
00:40Clubhouse
00:40You know, it's a small market
00:41They don't have an actual translator
00:43They have a coach
00:43Who does the translating
00:45Coach was busy
00:45Not a surprise
00:46And he speaks perfect English
00:48Perfect Spanish
00:50I speak okay English
00:51Terrible Spanish
00:52And he stepped in
00:54And was willing
00:55To do it
00:55So it's a terrific guy
00:56He's the number one starter
00:58They absolutely needed to do it
00:59I see that
01:00The Mets are now ranked number three
01:01In some ranking
01:02Whatever those are worth
01:03But
01:05They needed to do it
01:06And so that's my number one Mets pick
01:08Yeah, you know
01:09The Mets on
01:10Like Bet MGM
01:10Are tied with the Phillies
01:12For the second most
01:13Over under
01:14Project
01:15Projections
01:15At 90 and a half
01:16You know
01:17The Dodgers are like
01:17102.5
01:18Or 103.5
01:19At 90 and a half
01:20Everyone's behind them
01:20So whatever they've done
01:22Especially late
01:23Has
01:23At least
01:24The
01:25The betting markets
01:25Seeing them as a very strong team
01:27Though of course
01:27They saw them as a strong team
01:28Last year
01:29John
01:29I'm going to
01:30Take best
01:30Seriously here
01:32The best move
01:32I'm not saying
01:33It's the most impactful move
01:34Because
01:34I
01:35I think that will be
01:35End up being
01:36Probably
01:37Peralta
01:37Or Bichette
01:38I think they're
01:40Best move
01:40Was
01:40Louis Robert Jr
01:41And in a way
01:42It was because
01:43Of all the other moves
01:45And how little
01:46They gave up
01:47Look
01:48Acuna
01:49Will
01:50Louis Angel Acuna
01:51Will probably
01:52Play in the major leagues
01:53For quite a while
01:54As
01:54You
01:55Utility guy
01:55Because
01:55He could really defend
01:56And really run
01:57It's two skills
01:58That will help
01:58Maybe he'll hit enough
02:00At some point
02:00To be a starting
02:01Second baseman
02:01But
02:02That
02:03And a pitching
02:04Lottery guy
02:05Who they took
02:05In the draft
02:05Last year
02:06Who hardly
02:06Pitched
02:07Is a good
02:07Trade to me
02:09For a guy
02:09Whose baseline
02:11If he stays healthy
02:12Is
02:12Play terrific
02:13Defense up the middle
02:14And again
02:14I
02:14I like it
02:15For the other
02:15Things they've done
02:16With Simeon
02:17And then you add
02:18Lindor
02:19Alvarez
02:19Torrin
02:19They're really strong
02:20Up the middle
02:21Robert is a really
02:22Good
02:22Defender
02:23A guy
02:24Who
02:24Could run
02:25And run
02:25At a high
02:26Success rate
02:27A la
02:28Carlos Beltran
02:29Who just got
02:29In the hall
02:30Of fame
02:30This guy
02:31Steals
02:31And steals
02:31Successfully
02:32He hits
02:33Lefty pitching
02:33Which helps
02:34The
02:34Versi
02:34Their lineup
02:36And he hits
02:37Some home runs
02:38Low batting
02:38Average
02:39High strikeouts
02:39The
02:39High strikeouts
02:40Don't bother me
02:41As much
02:41Because
02:41Bichette
02:42Simeon
02:43And
02:44Polanco
02:44Are all guys
02:45Who don't
02:45Strike out
02:46A lot
02:46Added to
02:47Lindor
02:47And Soto
02:48Who don't
02:48Strike out
02:49A lot
02:49I like
02:50That
02:50And
02:51Look
02:51I think
02:52There's
02:52A real
02:52Downside
02:52The
02:53Guy's
02:53Been
02:53Injured
02:53He's
02:54Had
02:54A low
02:54Batting
02:54Average
02:55And
02:55He
02:55Strikes
02:55Out
02:56A ton
02:56Is
02:57This
02:57Turn
02:57Out
02:57To
02:57Be

03:48Yeah
03:49101
03:49We
03:49Flip
03:50To

03:59Bellinger
04:00Right
04:00They
04:00Needed
04:00To
04:01Get
04:01It
04:01Done
04:01They
04:01Stuck
04:02To
04:02The
04:02Five
04:02Years
04:03I
04:03Mean
04:03I
04:03Think
04:03It
04:04Is
04:04A
04:04Good
04:04Deal
04:04For
04:05Bellinger
04:05He

04:0685
04:08Million
04:08Over
04:08The
04:08Next
04:08Two
04:09Years

04:13Five
04:13Million
04:14If
04:14He
04:14Opts
04:15Out
04:15I
04:15Don't

04:16Going
04:16To
04:16Opt
04:16Out
04:16When
04:16He

04:18Been
04:18A
04:18Free
04:18Agent
04:19A
04:19Lot
04:19I
04:19Think
04:19He
04:19Likes
04:20Being
04:20A
04:20Yankee
04:20But
04:22You
04:23Know
04:23I
04:23Think
04:23It
04:23Was
04:23A
04:23Good
04:23Deal
04:24For
04:24Him
04:24And
04:24I
04:24Think
04:25It
04:25Was
04:25The
04:25Right
04:25Deal
04:26For
04:26The
04:26Yankees
04:26They
04:26Did
04:27A
04:27Nice
04:27Job
04:27With
04:27It
04:28And
04:28I
04:29Think
04:29It
04:29Is
04:29Good
04:29To
04:29He
04:30Back
04:30Judge
04:31Is
04:31Happy
04:31I
04:32Think
04:33The
04:33Yankees
04:33Are
04:33In
04:33Good
04:33Shape
04:34Yeah
04:35I
04:35Think
04:35I
04:36I
04:36I
04:36I
04:36I
04:37I
04:37I
04:37I
04:37I
04:37I
04:38I
04:38I
04:38I
04:38I
04:38I
04:39I
04:39I
04:39I
04:39I
04:39I
04:39I
04:39I
04:40I
04:41I
04:41I
04:41I
04:42I
04:42I
04:43I
04:44I
05:39Losing Diaz and bringing in Devin Williams for Diaz, I don't see that.
05:44Diaz was the best closer in their history.
05:48I mean, I guess someone can make a case for that.
05:49For Doug McGraw, but he was an outstanding closer, maybe the best in the league.
05:53And Devin Williams I'm still worried about because he wasn't a very good closer when he was the Yankee closer.
05:58Yeah, to me, again, John, I wish I could tell you I differ with you.
06:02It's the move I didn't like either. I get how volatile relief pitching could be.
06:07And by the way, Edwin Diaz was volatile as a Met. They were very, very good years. They were not so good.
06:12And there was obviously an injury, but an injury right in the middle that caused...
06:17We know how this could go, but I am always worried about...
06:22The underlying number argument for a pitcher, that's the Devin Williams argument...
06:27That the underlying numbers were not that far off from the guy who was dominant in Milwaukee.
06:32If anyone should know that player, it's David Stearns.
06:35He was the general manager who brought...
06:37Devin to the majors and he had great success with the Brewers.
06:42It was...
06:42He was a sub-2 ERA the last three years before the Yankees acquired him.
06:46But on the field and in the...
06:47The clubhouse, I'll take Edwin Diaz seven days a week, twice on Sunday and, you know...
06:52With the Mets money, I wonder if they could have and should have had them both.
06:57Flip side, Yankees worst move, John.
07:00I think it's giving Grisham...
07:02The qualifying offer, 22 million, which you reported first was going to be 22...
07:0722 million, I like them, could have seen Grisham going somewhere else.
07:12And them getting the draft choice and I think that's what some of them envisioned and it didn't turn out to...
07:17To be correct, so I can't kill them since I thought Grisham might be able to get a three for 40...
07:2225 somewhere else, but in retrospect, looking back at it, I think it was going to be hard.
07:27With that qualifying offer for Grisham to get a three for 45, right?
07:31So...
07:32I think it was an error because I don't know that he's necessary.
07:35You know, you've got a lot of outfielders on this...
07:37team, right?
07:38You've got Bellinger.
07:39I'm still a believer in Dominguez.
07:42Obviously, we're a little skeptical after last year, Spencer Jones is coming...
07:47And, you know, I don't think it was necessary.
07:50He obviously...
07:52was pretty good last year.
07:53He hit more runs than any other center fielder in the game.
07:55So, I can't kill him.
07:57He's looking for it.
07:58You know, they're running the whole team back, right?
08:00It's the same...
08:01It's the same team.
08:02So, I think the fans aren't going to be thrilled.
08:04Overall, I think they'll be better, right?
08:07Because...
08:07they'll have Kohl for the year.
08:08They'll have Schlittler for presumably the year, although he's not...
08:12going to throw 200 innings.
08:13They'll have him for more than they had him last year.
08:16So, I think...
08:17I think they're actually going to be better.
08:19And I don't mind that they brought the team back.
08:22But...
08:22Grisham at $22 million, that's an overpay.
08:26You know, again...
08:27like...
08:28a more unbiased view is bet MGM has them with the second highest over under...
08:32total in the major leagues behind the Dodgers.
08:34So, the top one in the American League, you know, over Seattle...
08:37over Toronto, etc.
08:38So, yeah.
08:40And John, I got to say...
08:42Grisham is not my choice here.
08:44I...
08:45you know, like I heard a lot of people...
08:46Yankee...
08:47fans who love to whine about everything...
08:49saying, well, they got Grisham so they won't bring back...
08:52Bellinger.
08:53Well, they did.
08:54Like, it wasn't like the money kept them from getting Bellinger.
08:56I...
08:57I don't think they liked the idea of Bellinger playing full-time in center.
09:01I don't know if...
09:02they think Spencer Jones is close to ready to do that, play full-time in center.
09:06You know, so...
09:07they needed somebody to play center field and I would quite frankly rather have Trent
09:11Grisham for...
09:12one year at 22 million, then three at 45.
09:15You know, again, if the...
09:17here's another place.
09:18The underlying...
09:19I think everybody agreed with you.
09:20I don't think anyone was paying that three for 45.
09:22Right.
09:23I think you were right.
09:24Yeah.
09:25So, I mean, I don't mind it as a one-year gamble that he's going to...
09:27to repeat something that looked like last year when he was not only powerful but clutch.
09:32He had a...
09:32a ton of big hits, especially homers for them.
09:34For me, the...
09:35the downside play, and I almost mean...
09:37the...
09:38symbolically as opposed to on the guy is the Paul Blackburn for 2 million.
09:42And here's why.
09:43I still think the Yankees are a pitcher short.
09:45And you could tell me that's a...
09:47reliever.
09:48You could tell me that's a starter.
09:49You could tell me it's a better hybrid than Paul Blackburn.
09:51But at a...
09:52a time where, like, the big move this offseason after Grisham, money-wise, was going to be...
09:57on Bellinger.
09:58I feel like...
09:59you mentioned it, John.
10:01If it...
10:02goes perfectly.
10:03And Rodan comes back May 1st, cold June 1st, Clark Schmitt...
10:07they had August 1st, and they're close to who they've been.
10:10And you get Schlittler, and...
10:12and Ryan Weathers, and Luis Gil...
10:14like, I can make an argument that will be the best rotation in the...
10:17American League.
10:18It still worries me because there's enough flammability there, and...
10:22and I think they're a reliever short, especially a power lefty...
10:27which they don't have.
10:28Their lefties are Tim Hill and Ryan Yarborough if they...
10:30they don't need Yarborough in the rotation.
10:32So I'm using Blackburn more as a symbolic...
10:35I think they're one-pitcher short.
10:37right now.
10:38Yeah, absolutely.
10:39There are a ton of relievers left.
10:41I think Coulomb is...
10:42who's still left a lefty reliever.
10:43Yeah, I'm with you.
10:45They could use more help in that...
10:47I don't love either team's bullpen.
10:49I like both teams.
10:50I think overall...
10:52they're in very good shape.
10:53Some of the Mets are in a lot better shape than we thought they were going to be, but...
10:57I think they're both a little short in the bullpen.
10:59Obviously, the Mets added some bullpen pieces late...
11:02Luis Garcia, who you mentioned first, and some others, obviously.
11:07they got one in the Milwaukee trade with Peralta, with Myers, who could be a...
11:12reliever.
11:13But I feel like the bullpens are still a question mark for both teams.
11:17Yeah.
11:17look, like Harrison Bader signed today, John, as we're doing...
11:22I mean, there's a two year deal with San Francisco.
11:24Financially, should the Yankees have let Grisham go...
11:27and be like, let's bring in Bader to be at least like the center fielder for...
11:32two years.
11:33I haven't heard the money on it, but let me guess it's going to be like 10 to 12 million.
11:37in there, I would get...
11:38Right.
11:3920.5.
11:40Oh, okay.
11:41So you actually know the numbers.
11:42So it's in that 20 million.
11:43Would the Yankees have been better off doing that?
11:46And then like...
11:47having a little more money to spend on another pitcher in some way, a reliever, a starter...
11:52instead of bringing Grisham back.
11:54Again, like they have to make the Grisham decision when I think...
11:57Bader, et cetera, was going to be looking for a lot more years and money than two or 20...
12:02So they had to make that decision.
12:04Could Bellinger have held them even more hostage if...
12:07they didn't have Grisham.
12:08So, you know, like things play in a way, but it's just something to think about.
12:11You know...
12:12I'm with you.
12:13I think Bader, right, ain't bad.
12:15Better defensively.
12:16Grisham is...
12:17Still okay defensively, but I don't think he was as good last year as he's been in the
12:21past.
12:22I...
12:22Obviously, Grisham gives you more power, but Bader played great for the Phillies and...
12:27you know, he's a friend of the show, so...
12:28Yes.
12:29That always helps as well.
12:30Uh...
12:31But yeah, I...
12:32In retro...
12:32In retrospect, looking back on it, related to the Grisham, yeah, I would have done Bader
12:36instead of Grisham.
12:37John, let's...
12:38That obvious, but when he sat down, had gotten frickin' better, and gotten the pitcher.
12:39Yeah.
12:40John, let's...
12:41John, let's...
12:42John, let's...
12:43John, let's...
12:44John, let's...
12:45John, let's...
12:46John, let's get...
12:47John, let's get one head over it, could I say a words on it, you know,
12:48but I certainly did not have the coach at Cnaume in that physiogn mind, without Cnaume,
12:51of course, as well, I haven't come to my head over the open and up.
12:52And then John lab snapped the issue and go to Mr Obama, do you.
12:53John, let's get together.
12:55I'm ready to go.
12:56Thanks, John, let's get aplan or cut.
12:58John...
13:01We're gonna create these last night, GitHub are in the summer.
