Let's go to Rocco in New Jersey.

What's going on, Rocco?

Hey, guys.

How are you?

Good, Rocco.

What's up?

Not much. So I've been talking about the Mets and, you know, and let Pete go and all that. And he isn't that favorite. My problem with the whole situation is if you're going to talk about doing it because of run prevention, then you can't slate pencil in two guys that have never played first base as your first patient.

Yeah, listen, I agree with that.

I actually said it at the time that, you know, if you're someone who has based your entire

take on Pete Alonzo being someone who can't play defense and then you've basically given the

first base job to someone who's never played first base. You're right. It's hypocritical up until

this point, yes. Well, you don't know whether, you know, Mark Fentos is going to be playing first base.

Polanco's going to be playing first base. It's probably going to be to Palanco right now.

Yeah, I mean, but then he's not going to play 162 games there. No, you wouldn't think. And look, you know, I don't think necessarily all of this is done yet. We got to wait until we get the pitchers and catchers, and then we can make a determination as to what this team is going to look like. There's still some free agency out there. There's also trades available. So you just, you don't know what they're going to do. You don't know how they're going to do it. they may go the cheap route. Could you see like a Paul Goldschmidt coming here?

Maybe. just you don't know what they're going to do you don't know how they're going to do it they may go as a cheap route could you see like a paul goldsmith coming here maybe i mean you know for a year like the yankees ended up doing i i and then it becomes part of a dh first base kind of

situation you don't know i mean like we're not yet. And we don't know until we get there.

All we know is that Dodgers just keep out spending them, except for when it came to Juan Soto. Yeah, because they weren't in on Juan Soto. And they would have been in on Wonsoto. Well, actually, they were. They were, but they just, they didn't, I don't know. I don't know what happened with that. Is there a potential trade for Tatis Jr. still in the works?

Maybe.

I mean, that was something that was for the Yankees or the Mets or both. Both? Yeah. But that could be a fallback for both of these teams possibly. I don't, you know, again, I don't want to go all John Heyman on everybody. Maybe could be, should be. maybe I don't't know. I just... Well, we don't. We just don't. But that's the point. And we have to wait until we get to pitchers and catchers to look at the team and see what they have and what they're trying to do and how they're trying to build this. But I'll tell you one thing. The good news for me, I kind of want to see these young pitchers pitch. Well, you're going to see them because they have an antibody else to the rotation. I mean, and they still may add somebody to the rotation, but I'm, you know, there's Nolan McLean, I'm telling you. It's going to be the opening day starter, right? Well, it's like Jackson Dart.

It's like Matthew Schaefer.

Like, I want to see these kids, man.

I want to see these kids come up and I want to see him do something, especially when they are Uber talented and seem like they can handle it. It's like Cam Schlittler for the Yankees. Yeah, no, those two guys are going to be front and center, obviously. Like, you forget the Yankees are getting
