| 0:00.0 | So there's a guy that I follow, worked S&Y does a podcast. |
| 0:04.2 | I've mentioned him before. |
| 0:05.2 | He's very, very sharp Mets fan named Joe DeMayo. |
| 0:08.3 | And he posted this home run of Luis Robert Jr. the other day and said, go get a Mets. |
| 0:14.8 | You know, and then this morning I hear Flegs with Jerry going, hey, if you're trading Ronald Cooney Jr. |
| 0:21.1 | For a package with Luis Robert Jr., then I'm in. |
| 0:24.0 | And I read this other SNY article where the Mets and the White Sox have discussed not only Luis Anhella Coonia. |
| 0:32.6 | Oh, I said Luis Cana Jr. I don't know why I said that. |
| 0:34.8 | Luis Enhelacunya and Mark Vientos in this trade scenario. |
| 0:42.1 | And I'm like, all right, I understand two years ago that Luis Robert Jr. had a massive offensive season. Massive. |
| 0:50.5 | And he's a really good defensive player. But he has been nowhere near that offensive player in the last year and a half. |

| 1:13.6 | strikes out 10,000 times. Yep. Like, why? What's the obsession? Because he looks cool when he hits |
| 1:22.0 | he finally connects with one. Like when you see a highlight on MLB.com, you're like, oh my God, this guy looks so unbelievable. And then you get all enamored with it? He stunked for a year and a half. Oh, maybe even more than that. For me, it's that he is a true center fielder. There aren't other good ones out there. He hits lefties. Well, Taylor's a center fiel I mean, he's the same thing. He doesn't hit either. |
| 1:44.6 | Well, low average, but Taylor also has no power. |
| 1:46.8 | So with Robert, you're getting the power. You're still getting the good defense and you're getting good base running. He has like 20-something steals. And you want to give up one of your young potential stars. You can't trade more. So Jerry said Viantos. I said I'd rather not. |
