00:00He did also say that Lindor and Soto, for that matter, not that anyone thought Soto was going
00:05anywhere, aren't going anywhere. And I know I've seen stuff out there since then, people saying,
00:12oh, I think Lindor is going to get traded. I know Mike Francesa said they're going to try very,
00:16very hard to trade him. Well, unless he was telling us some fib, I don't believe that.
00:23You know, Lindor is 10-5. He has full veto power over trades. My understanding is,
00:30from what I hear, people close to him, he's not going anywhere. Beyond that, it's not easy to
00:35trade someone who's got $175 million to go in the middle of the year. The Giants are the only team
00:41that seems to want to take these kind of contracts on in the middle of the year, and they're sellers.
00:46So I don't see it. I mean, someone's going to say, oh, the Yankees need a shortstop. First of all,
00:50I believe he's not trading him. Second of all, he's certainly not trading him to the Yankees.
00:53Without us knowing what the future CBA is, and is there a salary cap? Is the taxes going to be
01:01even tougher if they don't get a salary cap? It's very hard for any team to acquire a guy who's
01:06making $32 million a year for the next five years. Without knowing, does that put me way over a cap
01:12if
01:12there's a cap? So I think beyond the fact that the owner is on record telling us he's not being
01:18traded and would then have to reverse course, I'm going to believe that the player is not going to
01:24be traded.
