All right, Matt fans, you ready to get a stomach egg?

You ready to get sick?

I present to you Steve Phillips.

Remember the great Steve Phillips, the former general manager of the New York Mets?

Obviously does a very good job now on MLB radio.

He makes appearances on MLB network.

He's a talking head.

If you could hear the Bobby Valentine interview that we posted on episode number

417 of the Rico Bronia.

Again, we apologize for the audio quality.

But if you listen to it carefully, without him saying it, you could tell Bobby V,

not a fan of Steve Phillips.

You could kind of hear it if you listen carefully. Well of Steve Phillips. I mean, you, you could kind of hear it if you listen carefully.

Well, Steve Phillips was talking very honestly about Ichiro Suzuki, about the New York Mets,

about the former ownership, and the possibility that the Mets could have signed each year.

Take a listen to the former general manager, Steve Phillips, on MLB Network.

The Mets general manager, and he had been posted in Japan.

And we talked about it.

Obviously, Bobby Valentine had managed in Japan, knew about each row.

And so we ended up, I could only get $11 million from ownership to be able to bid on the posting at that time.

And I think he got like $13.1 million from Seattle.

But it makes me go back and think, geez, if we had only been able to get another $2.5 million, he could have played his career in New York.
