00:00I almost look at this, Tiki, as a smoke-out situation.
00:04What do you mean smoke?
00:06I think they really want to deal Lindor.
00:08So they're trying to get rid of him.
00:09They want Lindor, in my opinion, to feel as unwelcome as possible now, so he wants out.
00:15So he'll ask out.
00:16He'll ask out. He might approve more teams on that no-movement clause.
00:20And you know what? Follow the breadcrumbs now, Tiki.
00:22Because we've talked around this enough for basically a year.
00:26They, or it felt like everything last year.
00:28I mean, it was this time last year we were getting ready for David Wright Day, wasn't it?
00:32Wasn't it? We were talking about, wow, maybe they'll make Lindor the captain.
00:34And then we get, was it the beginning of this year or a new offseason?
00:37We'll never name a captain. That old stuff.
00:39And if you're Lindor, you've got to go, I am the captain of this team.
00:41That felt like it was linked to Juan Soto and Juan Soto's private conversation with ownership and David Stern.
00:50And door number two is Juan Soto.
00:52And this is not Juan Soto's fault at all.
00:54He is signed here for the long term.
00:56Insert Yankee joke here, wherever you want.
00:59The Mets are Juan Soto's team.
01:02He's the most important player to be happy on this team.
01:05He's the most consistent player on this team.
01:06And he's earned it, obviously, with the bat.
01:08He plays every day.
01:09That's been the story of his career.
01:10And if Juan Soto and the Francisco Lindor relationship
01:14is even 25% as toxic as we've suspected it is,
01:20then this just kind of proves it too.
