00:00To me, here's the deal with Alex Cora, and I understand every single Met fan or Philly fan
00:04right down the pike on I-95 saying, go hire Alex Cora, because if this was a fantasy world,
00:10it's an easy answer. He is a tremendous manager. Of course. He's one of the best managers in the
00:15sport. I know Yankee fans. You don't like him. You have every right to not like him. He was your
00:19rival. He said mean things about you. Totally fine. We all know Alex Cora would be a major
00:25upgrade over almost every manager in this sport, but he's not taking the job mid-season,
00:30and I don't think it's because they're a mess necessarily. I think it's because he's owed
00:34$7 million. I think it's because he just managed for a bunch of years and probably would take the
00:40rest of the spring and summer off, put his feet up, and then next year say, all right, who wants
00:46me?
00:46Because there could be a line of teams who say, I want Alex Cora, and I'll get nuts with you
00:52right
00:52off the top. One of those teams may be the New York Yankees. Yeah. I'm not joking. Yeah. One
00:59of those teams. Unlikely, but the possibility is always obvious. It's always there. I'll give
01:02you another team. Because Aaron Boone is getting to that point where Brian Cashman says, it's time
01:07for you to go do something else. Absolutely. Shut up, Tubby. We can't rule that out. I wasn't
01:11Tubby. That was me. Sean mentioned this before the show, so I give him all the credit. I'll tell
01:14you another team that could be online waiting for Alex Cora. It's going to sound nuts right
01:17now, but just have patience and an imagination. The Los Angeles Dodgers. Dave Roberts could
01:23say, I'm done. They're going to impose a salary cap. I don't want to do this anymore. And
01:27I've gone back to back to back. Could happen. Three championships. My Hall of Fame legacy
01:32is set. I'm good to go. See you later. You want another one? I'll keep going. The Houston
01:36Astros, the team that had him on the coaching staff. They could very well say, hey, this Joe
01:42Espada thing isn't working. We're going to hire him. Yeah. This is all well and good for Alex
01:47Cora. But what does this mean for the New York men? It means they're not getting him to
