00:00this is really one for him right this topic here um as i think i sent this out last night
00:05uh where daryl strawberry made those comments right rob yeah he said he will regret leaving
00:11for baltimore adding the peach i have realized how much it would have meant to hold every mets
00:18record one day um and and excuse me forgive me but i think the mets are a great organization
00:30but it's not like the yankees or the dodgers holding their records it has to be a matter of
00:37personal prestige do we even know if the mets offered him it's not baseball prestige it's just
00:43not it's not like you're the all-time leading home run hitter for the new york yankees well start
00:48thinking about the home run hitters in the history of that organization the it's who who you have
00:53you're passing what daryl strawberry but i guess the point is people think it's it's stupid that
00:58you know i stopped dating uh pamela anderson right i know she didn't offer me anything she
01:03didn't come to me and say hey i'd like you to be with me like this is so stupid that
01:08this even gets
01:08brought up and i'm not arguing over living in new york living in baltimore which i know ed can
01:12speak to but the simple fact is if they don't make him an offer he can't go back unless he
01:18wants to go
01:18back for pennies and news flash ed pete alonzo already is the mets all-time home run leader yes and
01:25the only current met that's near him he has 264 francisco lindor has 141 he's he's safe a little
01:32while yeah yeah absolutely um but it's more than that i mean it's just and you're and you're right
01:39they're not the yankees for sure and they remind met fans every day but um but i mean still it's
01:46a new
01:46york it's a new york sports franchise it's a big deal it's new york city and the what's important
01:52about it is when you're an athlete in new york when you have any position in new york city i
01:56found
01:56this is my stark difference in moving to different cities i find that when people are prominent in
02:04in places like new york the opportunities are limitless limitless um you know every advertising
02:12commercials um jobs post job um and to example nypd if you had a high rank if you had my
02:18position in
02:19the nypd or something close not even that position you know captain or above you'd be working for you'd
02:27be head of security american express goldman sachs you'd be working at the stock market and they just
02:31pick people up constantly and give these big jobs i've never seen that in baltimore well i'll say this
02:36i've never seen that i'll say this peter alonzo was going towards being the all-time mets home run
02:40leader uh in 2024 am i right he didn't get it that year but he was he was headed in
02:45that direction
02:46everybody knew he was going to overtake it and then all of a sudden the mets went out and offered
02:49a brink struck to a guy named juan soto and a penny pitched on peter alonzo he had to beg
02:55for a prove
02:55it a prove it contract so if me being the all-time leader in your organization jeremy is that much
03:02it's that important you didn't act like it was important to you so why should it be important to
03:06me yeah there's some weird stuff going on in that clubhouse which a lot of the rumors
03:09excuse me initially said it was peter alonzo um i don't know if you saw the quotes from
03:14uh steve cohen talking about brandon nimmo leaving he said he had to have the conversation
03:18with him that they were trading him he didn't want to trade him he loves him he thinks he you
03:22know
03:22great player great clubhouse guy and he said but uh was it the gm stearns there that he wanted to
03:29move him he said if i'm going to give him control of the baseball team i'm gonna let him make
03:32the
03:32decisions this still feels like it came from somewhere else like there the rumors about lindor
03:36complaining about some of the guys in the clubhouse maybe there's some truth to that but
03:41i i honestly think this is i'm not arguing of living in new york or living in baltimore is
03:45better or being a part of that organization or this one the only thing i'm arguing is it's tough
03:49to go somewhere if they don't want you yeah there's that i was just bringing up because from the point
03:53there's a when i saw this let me just check you know what i think is right and it i
03:58was you know
03:59they had the top 48 most powerful cities in the world um and it was based on economy culture
04:04livability etc etc economy new york was number one research developed new york number one it ranked
04:09second behind london it was the second most powerful city on the planet and i just think
04:15that to me that matters it just does and it's probably i'm not rob likes it i mean i love
04:20it
04:20i love new york and i'm not denying i'm not denying that matters but my point is this
04:24daryl strawberry you're right i could have held every record of the mets offensively
04:30so if it was important to them why didn't they offer me a five-year deal when they were courting
04:35juan soto you told me juan soto getting juan soto was more important to you than you giving
04:41me a long-term deal and i'm here doing it now i went to the playoffs and had big home
04:46runs in the
04:46postseason when we didn't have juan soto in the lineup i just think daryl doesn't like the team
04:51because he caught one in the in the in the mouth there from alan was it alan mills punching him
04:55in
04:55i think that's why they're like why would you go there you know they hit me the cocaine is better
05:00in new york is it oh boy oh good good point yeah i don't think he likes the orals because
05:07he got
05:07smacked in the mouth i forgot about that little mozzarella would say in the mouth but you get my
05:12point why should it just be so important to me i i wanted to be your dance partner after the
05:182024
05:19season you didn't want to dance with me yep i mean you wanted the radio version i wanted the album
05:24version you know so so daryl mind your business man i'm doing i'm doing me right now mind your
05:35business the orio offered me what i wanted here i am and i don't have one soda in front of
05:41me by the
05:42way everyone down there is saying that pete alonzo has been the perfect fit i don't know how many
05:45writers i've read that he's on the steps watching every bat from his teammates yes and maybe it seems
05:51like a bit much but like i love it i love seeing how involved he is yes me too and
05:56this is why you
05:57know that rumor about him being a problem in the clubhouse was shot down it turned out he wasn't in
06:01new york and then he comes here i mean who did he send it to jackson holiday right yeah that
06:06message
06:07it's going to war it's going to be glorious the storm is coming storm is coming but if he was
06:12a
06:12problem in the mets clubhouse why yeah what was going on in the mets clubhouse and i'm not saying
06:18i'm not saying he was but there's all there's always a reason for things you know i mean either
06:23you're an a-hole or you don't like the surroundings one or two it doesn't seem like to be the
06:28first
06:30no and i don't think it was true anyway and he's he seems like by all accounts not just a
06:36huge
06:37improvement to the roster but a huge improvement to the team you know as a leader you know just from
06:42his experience he's played in world series he's you know he's a postseason experience he's you know
06:46he's been the biggest city in the country there's a lot of things he can bring to these young guys
06:50besides that big bat you guys laughed at me when i reported the national choir said that they have
06:54to have 40 latino ball players on that team or juan soto can opt out the story may not have
06:59been true
06:59but there might be some legs to it now they got rid of the whites they got rid of nimmo
07:03they got rid
07:04of pete alonzo maybe there is some truth to it
07:07you
