| 0:00.0 | Also, how does it impact Cody Bellinger? |
| 0:03.5 | Cody Bellinger, I was thinking about this last night because Tommy made a great point about Cody with the Mets. You guys' Yankee fans really want him back. And I started to give Cody Bellinger just a lot of thought in general about both teams and where he fits. And the thing I'm intrigued by with the Mets, and you brought this up yesterday, Tommy, and I love it. It's my favorite part of your idea. |
| 0:22.7 | Is Bellinger in conjunction with Alonzo? intrigued by with the Mets. And you brought this up yesterday, Tommy, and I love it. It's my favorite part of your idea. |
| 0:22.7 | Is Bellinger in conjunction with Alonzo? |
| 0:25.2 | Not to replace Alonzo. |
| 0:27.1 | Because I don't think he's as good. |
| 0:28.1 | Honestly, like he's just, no offense. |
| 0:29.4 | He's just not as good. |
| 0:30.6 | But Cody Bellinger on the Mets, with Pete Alonzo being re-signed, could fill four different holes. |
| 0:36.4 | Hear me out on this. Four different holes. |
| 0:58.1 | Number one, he plays center field till Carson Benj is ready. That could be a week. That could be a month. That may be all year. That's number one. Number two, he plays left field and forces Brandon M.O. to DH a lot more than he did last year. That's position number two. Position number three, Cody Bellinger plays a lot of right field and forces Juan Soto to DH a lot more than he did last year. |
| 1:00.3 | And then, of course, fourth position is first base to force Pete Alonzo to D.H. |
| 1:05.0 | A lot more last year. |
| 1:06.3 | Cody Bellinger could actually make the Mets better at three different positions while improving their |
| 1:14.1 | lineup all at the same time. Sometimes he plays left, sometimes he plays center, sometimes he plays |
| 1:19.5 | right, sometimes he plays first, and he grades better than all of the guys that he's forcing to |
| 1:25.1 | DH. So you're not telling Pete Alonzo, |
| 1:29.2 | much to the chagrin of our buddy, Sal Lekata, you're the full-time DH. You're just going to do it more. You're not telling Juan Soto you're the full-time DH. He's just doing it more. You're not telling Brandon Nimmo he's a full-time age. He's just doing it more. So I don't know, was that your vision with Cody Boneser to do that? |
| 1:43.7 | Because that part of it, I think, could really enhance the Mets. |
| 1:46.8 | Not to that extent. more. So, I don't know, was that your vision with Cody Belanger to do that? Because that part of it, |
| 1:44.9 | I think, could really enhance the Mets. Not to that extent, but I think you took my idea and made it even more brilliant. And that's why I think we agree on this. We work as a team. Cody Bellinger is more valuable. I'm not trying to make it a Met Yankee thing, but he's more valuable to the Mets as a signing here because he could fill all the holes that you just brought up. |
| 2:01.5 | On conjunction with Alonzo. |
