00:00How much does his short tenure symbolize what went wrong for the Mets this offseason?
00:05You think of Steve Cohen's remarks not long ago saying how the Mets invested far too much in a risk
00:10over reward this year.
00:12Robert is the most prime example of 10 home runs, an 841 OPS returning from injury that we saw really
00:18heated up now looking healthier.
00:20And that's exactly why you have it seem like the Orioles going ahead and claiming him.
00:24But to just answer your first question here, Dex, this perfectly symbolizes the roster that David Stearns built this year.
00:30And I honestly find it both comical and fitting that out of every team that could have claimed Robert as
00:37their boy, it's the Baltimore Royals who have Pete Alonzo having the best season, arguably, of his career right now.
00:42This solidifies what at least we think the Mets outfield should look like going forward.
00:47And if you're a Mets fan, you should be excited about that because I don't know too many Mets fans.
00:54It ain't warty and it sure wasn't me that was going to be like, hey, you know, we want more
00:59of next year, Luis Robert Jr.
