The New York Yankees have come to terms on a free agent contract with Seth Brown, the former athletic, who at one point hit 25 home runs back in 2022.

And believe it or not, similar profile to Cody Bellinger.

Left-hand hitter plays the outfield in first base.

Seth Brown.

Yeah, he's very average.

100 WRC plus going on just so your knowledge. And it's a minor league deal. Yeah, it's a minor league deal. It's a minor league deal. Jokes aside, I don't think Seth Brown impacts the Cody Bellinger signing, but this is worth discussing because last week before the Mets pivoted to Boba Chet and before Kyle Tucker made the decision to go to Los Angeles, I asked you a question, which is,

if you're a free agent and you're offered a long-term deal from Toronto, 10 years, $350 million,

35 a year, not too bad, or a short-term contract that pays you $50 million a year, what would you do?

Right. Especially knowing Kyle Tucker's age and knowing that the free agent market, not just next year, but the next few years, leaves a lot to be desired. And it was an interesting discussion. And obviously he ended up taking those short-term deal, not with the Mets, but he took the short-term deal. Apparently, this is what's going on right now with Cody Bellinger. The Mets, I'm sorry, the Yankees have made an offer. It's been well documented.

You mentioned what Bob Clapish tweeted. A more than fair offer for Bellinger. Five years,

$155, $160 million in that area, even without that. The Yankees have made that offer, and they are right to think,

hey, we've gone as far as we want to with you.

Like going any further would be irresponsible.

And so Scott Boris is trying to drum up other interests.

And I guess there's a possibility.

The Toronto Blue Jays come out and off for six or seven years.

There's always that possibility.

What I'm surprised about with the Mets, and apparently this is going on, is the Mets are bidding on Cody Bellinger,

but they're doing it in a similar way to how they went after Kyle Tucker, which is a short-term contract. But he's not going to take that. Well, that's my question. Like if the Mets come in with a two-year offer or a three-year offer opt-out after two, maybe even opt-out after one, and they pay him.

They can't do it again with... Well, they could. They may not want to, but they could. But you're remaking your roster all over again. Yeah, you're doing it every year. Yeah. Basically, the Mets are, you know, the dream of, what was that guy from Oakland years ago, the creative owner? You're not going to know this one thing. I apologize. No idea. The guy who said we should have free agents every single season. I forget. The creative guy from Oakland, he used to run the A's. Forget it. I'll look it up myself and it's not a big deal.

Basically, the Mets are, hey, we're going to have free agents every year.

But forget that for a second because this is a Yankee Mets issue, a really Yankee issue. If you're Cody Ballinger and you're 31 years old, thank you, Finley. Thank you very much. If you're 31 years old and you're coming off a good year,
