I just don't see a world where the Mets are better off trading off of this player.

0:05.7

That's my point.

0:07.0

If you can create the world where it makes the Mets better, I'm game.

0:11.3

Because I don't care about the emotions anymore.

0:13.2

I want to win.

0:14.5

And I don't think that breaking up the core, which is such a cliché thing,

0:19.2

needs to be at the expense of the talent on your roster. I agree with you. Let me be clear. I agree with you. But I think that there possibly is a situation with David Stearns is saying this chorus collapsed now twice in the last couple years. We got to get rid of somebody. And if we can't get rid of McNeil and we do want to bring Pete back, then Nimmo is the odd man out.

0:37.8

It's musical chairs and we get rid of Nimmo.

0:39.5

Maybe you sign of Bellinger, you bring one of these kids up to play center field. I'm just going through the process. It lets you get a little bit younger. Yeah. Not significantly, but it's just a way to do it. And if it costs you, it costs you. We know that Steve Cohen is not afraid to spend money to get what he needs.

0:53.5

Well, if he's not afraid to spend money, then keep the player and spend the money anyway.

0:59.2

That's the easy answer, right? Actually, that is the better answer. Thank you. Because, like, if

1:04.3

you're a businessman, do you want to spend money to make a good baseball player go away? Right. But here's

1:09.4

the thing. We didn't come up with this.

1:28.3

This isn't fan-driven or W-F-A-N-driven. This is MET-driven. Right, but there's a difference between listening on something and then it actually happening. So my point to you is I'd listen on everything. I have no issue with the Mets listening. I'm telling you today on November 18th, A, I don't think the Mets are going to trade them.

1:28.3

And B, I think it would be 18th, A, I don't think the Mets are going to trade him,

1:32.8

and B, I think it would be stupid to trade him because I don't see a scenario that makes the Mets better. If they trade him, I'll take my L for being wrong, but then I'll probably

1:38.0

screaming yell at the move. Unless it's a move I don't see coming. I'm just using logic that a 33-year-old player with five years left on his deal is not getting you a lot back. And it's creating a new hole for you to fill. The Mets didn't score enough runs last year. It's the most under-talked about topic around the failure of the New York Mets. It's always about pitching in defense. And while that stuff's true, they did not score enough runs last

2:01.6

year. I'll say it over and over again until people realize it. They scored fewer runs last year

2:06.3

than they did the year before. And they added one soda. So they need to improve their offense.

2:12.7

Removing one of your better offensive players in which you're probably not going to get much

2:17.1

back doesn't seem to be the best idea. No, I would agree with that. Sports talk. one of your better offensive players in which you're probably not going to get much back,

2:17.8

doesn't seem to be the best idea.
