00:00Oh, the places you'll woe, Strawberry says Alonzo will regret leaving Mets for Baltimore.
00:06I love and respect Darryl Strawberry, but he can't be any more wrong on this situation.
00:12I think Pete Alonzo is going to have his own version of a Saquon Barkley-esque story.
00:18He's going to be that next New York player, homegrown, homebred, whatever we call him,
00:23to go through the system, not have wins, bet on himself, become the villain of a franchise,
00:30and go rewrite his story somewhere else.
00:33I know what Darryl Strawberry is saying, and I understand what he went through back in 1990,
00:38leaving to go to the Dodgers.
00:40I know he said he's always going to regret that, but that day of once a giant, always a giant,
00:46only a giant, or once a Yankee, only a Yankee, always a Yankee, that's over.
00:52That's just for Eli and for the Derek Jeters.
00:55The next generation of New York players, they want to write their own stories.
01:00It's here in New York.
01:01And what we've seen lately is a lot of these players, especially a lot of the players that
01:07have been stars on a core, they haven't been winning here for whatever reason, whether
01:11it be player or whether it be the franchise, but their values have gone down during some
01:17bad times and been on some bad teams.
01:19Now what it's talking about, negotiations or renegotiations, the franchise is now trying
01:25to save money with the whole loyalty narrative.
01:28A lot of these players playing here in New York have gone through rebuilds and runs, and
01:34for Pete Alonzo, he didn't go through enough runs for the rebuild years.
01:38And he saw the Dodgers get better each year while they continue to win.
