00:01Exams, you know, you just sleep for about an hour or two, and I, you know, it's three
00:05or four in the morning, I look, I got a message from Theo, call me.
00:09So I call Theo, what's up?
00:11And he goes, you know, Manny had a no trade, he had five and ten, and he had two optioneers.
00:16He's going to waive the two optioneers, we're going to waive the two optioneers to be able
00:20to trade them, but he still has, he's still going to have to give us a list, and you're
00:25the top team on the list.
00:28And I said, wow, that's interesting, and he says, so, now you know why I'm asking you
00:33about Andy LaRoche, because I've got to get a player to replace Manny, and the team is,
00:39has an interest in Andy, and so I said, well, you know, I'm going to be driving into the
00:45ballpark in about a half hour, it's like 4.35 in the morning, I'm going to be driving into
00:50the ballpark, you know, I'm going to have to give you something to think about, Theo.
00:54Well, what's that? I said, we will not pick up, do we have interest? Yes.
01:00We will not pick up one dollar of the contract.
01:06What? I said, no.
01:09And Manny was owed seven, seven and a half million. I said, if I could have picked up any money,
01:14I'd be sitting with CeCe Sabathia, Casey Blake, and Jamie Carroll right now.
01:19I know there's no money coming.
