When I think about the Yankees and I think about what Max Fried did yesterday and I think about

them not being able to sign Juan Soto, but then adding Bellinger, adding Goldschmidt and adding

Max Fried.

And then of course, you know, probably the under the under the radar deal for them, you know,

it was basically Grisham, Trent Grisham, because he came over to the Yankees with Soto.

So he stayed behind.

So you basically essentially have four players for one when you think about it.

Yeah.

And you think about what Bellinger has done for this team and what Max Friede has done for this team.

And if this team had a healthy Garrett Cole, it would be the odds on favorite to go all the way.

Yeah, it's just going to be tough to recreate last year with the success you had with Soto because

you go to the World Series and Juan Soto has the biggest home run in the ALCS to send you there.

So if you're going to do better than that, you've got to get to the World Series,

you've got to get past game five, and they are capable of doing it if Max Fried is as good

as he was last night. This is against a terrible Baltimore Orioles team. You're not going to see a

team like that in the postseason, but this was great to see if you're a Yankee fan. This was

as sharp as he's been in a very long time. He's ramping back up. He was dominant last night. And you get that in a game one of a series. He can beat anybody. So 18 and 5, he's got an under three ERAs, like 278 or something or 288, whatever it is. But it's under three. He's pitched 188 innings. I mean, you couldn't

ask for a better free agent signing, honestly. Now, I would say the same thing for the Mets. I mean,

the Mets's overpaid, I think, for, you know, when you pay $765 million for somebody,

you expect them to hit 60 home runs and knocking 150 runs. They expect to win the division.

Exactly.

Exactly.
