| 0:00.0 | So I was just talking to Fleegs and, of course, Jerry, |
| 0:02.4 | I said the biggest problem for the Mets, okay, no offense in center field. |
| 0:06.2 | You got three third basement. |
| 0:08.9 | Yeah. |
| 0:09.2 | You had three third basement. |
| 0:10.9 | And I know you're a Viantos guy. |
| 0:13.1 | I think, me and Fleegs think the ceiling for the younger players, Maricio, |
| 0:18.4 | is higher than the others. |
| 0:20.7 | But I also like the steadiness. |
| 0:23.6 | Well, I'm going to say he's probably... |
| 0:26.6 | Which one of those guys... |
| 0:29.5 | Let's put it this way. |
| 0:30.3 | Which one of those guys are you willing to trade? |
| 0:32.8 | Bientos, Maricio, or Bady? |
| 0:35.0 | Bady. |
| 0:36.4 | Yeah, it's got to be Bady. |
| 0:37.1 | And I love Bady. I think he has great potential, but it has to be based on what Viantos did last year. Why'd you say Viantos, Jerry? That's my guy. Because I would trade him. Why? Because I would, I'm looking at the body of work compared to the three weeks last October. But it's in October. I know it was. I know. And he burst on the scene and it was phenomenal. He's got that it factor deal. He hasn't had it in four months now. Well, it's true. But one of those four months was not October when he did have it. I totally get that. You're not wrong. I don't know, but it's a weird deal. |
| 1:12.4 | And Taylor will not, well, depending on who they go and get, but I think the more you think about it, if you can get Kwan from the Guardians and put him at the top of the lineup, now of a sudden you may have something pretty special. |
| 1:26.4 | And I would love that. |
| 1:47.3 | I would, but I mean, at the same time, you're talking about a guy who is going to command a prospect asking price. There's no two ways about it because of this contract situation. And the Mets may have to give up more than they want to. Well, they may have to give up one of their third baseman. Yeah. I don't know which one. And what else, though? You know, I mean, the guy's under control for two more years at like a really low number. And that right there, if you're a team that's trading them, you want young players back. Multiple. Let me ask you, is there any way, I don't see it because I don't I don't like it I kind of like to see the flashing I see the flashes from |
| 1:46.6 | if he's Is there any way, is, I don't see it because I don't, I don't like it. I kind of like to see the flashing. I see the flashes from, if you just say, eye test from Mauricio. Oh, yeah, of course. I don't want to trade that guy right now. Like he, there was, and I'm not comparing the two, but like the first time I saw Alfonso Soriano come up with the yankees and just the way he |
| 2:18.9 | looked at the plate yes i was like this guy is just unbelievably talented the way the ball would |
