Hey, Tinky.

Sounds like we correctly predicted Luis Severino as a trade target back in December.

Here's us on December 5th talking about Severino signing with the A's.

Take a listen.

Over three years making $10 million more than we just paid you.

Best of luck.

Well, look at who he signed with.

I mean, he signed with the A.

Oh, I said you're saying the Mets could trade for him again in July.

Well, that's a great point.

In theory, they could.

Thank you, Tiki.

So maybe the Mets will trade for Louis Severino, right?

It was like a weird signing at the time.

It made no sense.

Almost like Louis Severino was like, all right, here's what I'm going to do, David and Steve. I'm going to take a deal elsewhere.

I'm just going to go, like, have fun on the West Coast for a little bit. And then when you're ready, bring me back.

Yeah, just take me back when you need me.

We cool? Yeah. All right. And where the Mets would really look smart is if they get the A's to pick up even a dollar of that contract. So they don't actually give the full value of what Severino got from the A's, and then

they bring him back, and he's in the back end of the rotation.

I do want to play you something.

This is from last week.
