| 0:00.0 | I don't hate it, okay? I'm not miserable. I'm not screaming and yelling. I'm just being honest |
| 0:06.0 | that I didn't celebrate last night. I'm worried about this trade. I'm worried on a few levels. |
| 0:12.2 | A, David Stearns has shown us that he's not signing Freddie Peralta to a long-term deal. |
| 0:18.7 | Right, especially in his soon-to-be year-30 season. |
| 0:21.8 | Yes. |
| 0:22.7 | He's not going to do it. |
| 0:23.4 | He hasn't done it yet. |
| 0:24.4 | So I am under the impression until proven otherwise that Freddie Peralta is a rental, |
| 0:30.9 | giving up... |
| 0:32.1 | One year rental. |
| 0:33.0 | Oh, one-year rental. |
| 0:34.6 | And I like Tobias Myers, but more on that later, I guess. |
| 0:39.1 | To give up two top 100 prospects in Jet Williams and Brandon Sprote for a rental for a team that I think |

| 0:53.0 | the Mets a better team? Because I can totally see people calling up saying, come on, have it to be better? Yes, they're better. Freddie Peralta makes them better. Yes. Their rotation all of a sudden feels good. No doubt. They have an improved rotation. And all we screamed about was improving the rotation. I get that. In the short term, they're better. but last night and even this morning, as I've had hours to marinate on it, I'm not celebrating, I'm not partying. I'm worried. I'm worried because I think it's a rental and I think they gave up an awful lot for someone who is a rental. So Tiki Barber is the IBO. Sean is the guy who may disagree with me. |
| 1:27.6 | Met fans 888808-0-1-19. |
| 1:29.8 | I get it. |
| 1:30.4 | I'll take my arrows. I'm not trying to be a bad guy. You know how much I love this team and how much I care. I'm just being honest. I'm not celebrating today. I'm not beating my chest. I'm not apologizing to David Stearns. I'm not doing all that other crap because I'm being real that those are legitimate fears that I have. |
| 1:45.9 | And they are legitimate |
| 1:44.9 | fears that I have about this. And they are legitimate fears. As I thought about this after it came |
| 1:49.1 | down and all the, I don't know, the joy and exaltation that came from the Met fans, I was trying |
