00:00J.D. Drew was there, and by the way, I don't even know if I should say this.
00:05He, the first day I got to camp with St. Louis, it was in Jupiter, Florida.
00:10I walk into the locker room, and it was before pitchers and catchers,
00:14so I was there a couple days early, and there were a bunch of guys there.
00:17He came down, pulled up a chair at my locker,
00:20and started explaining to me what happened in Philadelphia.
00:23And I looked at him, I said, to be honest with you, I really don't care.
00:26And he's like, no, you've got to hear this, and he had the paperwork.
00:30Look, that contract they offered him, it's horrible.
00:35Yeah.
00:35It was like, I think it was like $7 million, which was low for a number one pick to start
00:42with.
00:42But number two, there was only $2 million guaranteed.
00:45The rest of it was like Silver Slugger, MVP, World Series MVP, All-Star, all this stuff.
00:53And I'm like, you're kidding me, right?
00:55He's like, no, that is what they offered.
00:57And I guess when I look back on it, I probably would have turned it down, too.
01:03Yeah, you've actually told me this story off air before.
01:05It's wild.
01:06That he was kind of justified.
01:07Because I was under the impression that he turned down that much money.
01:11He actually didn't turn down that much money.
01:13And fans hated J.D. Drew.
01:15Yeah, they did.
01:16They threw batteries at him when I came in with a double switch.
