Noah says it like they do

What do you mean?

Well, what do you mean?

Felger and Mads.

I'm just making it up.

Totally making it up.

985, the Sports Hub.

Free agency is going to be a whisper for the next three years.

There are a few people where I like better in baseball and lucky bets.

I thought he was going to make between 350 and 400 million.

He'd be lucky to get up to 250 in free agency this coming winter if they play.

And it's just a reality of the economics.

And it's true a reality of the economics.

And it's true in almost every business.

Hey, hour number two, Fulgar and as Mike's out today.

Jim Murray's alongside Joe Murray, and he gives his headlines.

It's Peter Gammons, who's on 670 to score in Chicago a couple of days ago talking about Mookie Betts, his decision to hardline the Red Sox and negotiations and where he is now,

and I just thought this was worth touching on because I think there is a tendency in this,

amidst this pandemic, to look at all the decisions going on in sports and thinking that this is just a matter of getting teams back on the field. They'll finish out the seasons. They'll start next year late and that'll be business as usual. Murray, do you think that that's what's going to happen, Jim Murray? That what, he'll end up getting the money that he was looking for? No, no. that once teams get back on the field, that things will basically be normal and will stay that way. No, no, every business is going to be affected going forward. Like, you know, so no. No. How can it, Mass? I mean, like, everyone's going to be wearing masks. There's going to be all sorts of things happening. They can't even hit in the batting cages inside. So we haven't talked a lot about this. And I think it's worth revisiting because, mookie, boy, did mookie make a massive mistake? Massive, massive mistake in retrospect. Okay. And I'm admitting that it's in retrospect. Joe Murray, let me ask you, do you think Moogie Betts, where were you on the whole Mookie Betts thing? Because I don't know. Were you pissed that he left? Do you think the team should have ponied up for him? Do you think that he was asking for too much? Where were you on it? Well, I thought there was something to it when they made the trade and then held back a little bit. Like, all right, are we making the right move here? I thought there was something to it. I think they like him, but in the end, they thought

that he just didn't want to be here. held back a little bit. Like, all right, are we making the right move here? I thought there was something to it.

I think they like him, but in the end, they thought that he just didn't want to be here. So they moved on for him. My thing is, in hindsight, if they held on to him a little bit more here, a little bit longer, and who knows what happened, obviously, but maybe they could have got him at a better, you know, a better offer, but the whole thing is...
