00:00I'll see you guys next time.

00:07Soto, Carver High and I both

00:09said he's out of there. Gone.

00:10He's already, he's already like

00:12out like he he literally was

00:14doing interviews last night

00:15saying his teammates were

00:16wishing him the best and his

00:17family do the right thing for

00:18your family. How about it? He

00:20could. He said he's going to

00:21see all thirty teams, whatever.

00:23He's gone. He could end up on

00:26the Los Angeles Dodgers too.

00:28I'll put it this way. If the

00:29team wants him, they can sign

00:31him and we saw this last year

00:33at the All-Star game when

00:35Shoya Otani was asked, who's

00:37one player in the league that

00:39you would love to be a teammate

00:40with? And without missing a beat,

00:42he said, Mookie Betts said, I've

00:45always wanted to play with

00:46Mookie Betts. Well, he plays

00:47for Mookie Betts. He just won a

00:49title. Juan Soto was asked this

00:52year at the All-Star game. Yeah,

00:54we know about the free agency,

00:55but just if you know who's a

00:57player, who's like your dream

00:58team, what would he say? Shoya

01:00Otani said, oh, man, to be a

01:02teammate with Shoya Otani, that

01:04would be something. Now, Soto

01:06seems to like the East Coast,

01:08right? So, he's not one of

01:09these. Look, the guy didn't stay

01:10in San Diego. He's a different

01:12dude, right? Washington offered

01:14him $440 million years ago,

01:16Scott. Like, it was like the

01:17biggest contract ever pretty

01:19much. No, no, and he's not

01:21happy. How can you not be happy

01:23in San Diego, Scott? You know

01:25what I'm saying? Like, you're

01:27like, you know, imagine Scott

01:29someone said to you, all right,

01:30we're gonna give you $350

01:31million, $400 million and you're

01:33gonna live in San Diego for the

01:34next seven years. I said,

01:37where's the pen? Give me a pen

01:40so I can sign this. I'd be on

01:41the next flight. And you see

01:43him, he goes to New York and

01:44Yankee fans rolled out the red

01:45carpet for him and begged him

01:47all year. He doesn't care, bro.

01:49He's like, speak to my agent.

01:51Speak to Cashman. He is a

01:53mercenary. So, you know, who's

01:56going to go after him? And I

01:58guess, you know, for Yankee

01:59fans, the ultimate scenario

02:01really is he ends up on the

02:02Mets. And I think Cohen probably

02:04does throw the money at him,

02:05Scott. I think Cohen's going to,

02:07you know, try to stick it to the

02:08Yankees and, you know, make Met

02:09fans happy. So, I sort of, I

02:12would, I would make the Mets the

02:13front runners because I think

02:15they're going to go all in. But

02:17don't forget, like the Dodgers

02:18contract with Otani is deferred.

02:22Right? Otani makes $2 million a

02:24year. And the whole reason was

02:27so they could sign other

02:28players. And he told them, like,

02:29you know what I mean? This is

02:30part of the deal, though, right?

02:31You're going to spend money on

02:32other people. And they did. They

02:33gave Yamamoto the money. So, I'm

02:35just throwing it out there.

02:36Willie Adames is another guy

02:38that's really been connected to

02:39the Dodgers a lot. The Dodgers

02:41can't go on like always with

02:42Max Muncy and Lux. And, you

02:44know what I mean? They got to,

02:45they got to shore up the middle

02:46of the infield a little bit. Not

02:47to get ahead of ourselves. But,

02:48yeah, Juan Soto, as a betting

02:50man, I would bet $10,000. He's

02:53not-

02:54Do you think any of the Texas

02:55teams would want him because he

02:56knows how much money he's going

02:57to make and that he would avoid

02:58taxes?

02:59I don't think he, I don't think

03:02that drives him, Scott. I think

03:04he figures I'm already that

03:05rich. But, yeah, I would

03:06imagine, not the Astros. The

03:08Astros don't want to spend that

03:09type of money. The Rangers

03:11definitely have the money. The

03:12Phillies are psychos, Scott.

03:14Those guys spend a lot of money

03:15in the Phillies. Like, I wouldn't

03:16be surprised if the Phillies are

03:17in the mix. Hell, there's

03:18rumors the Washington Nationals

03:20want to bring them back. And

03:22there's also rumors that he's

03:24not opposed to it. So, who

03:26knows with this guy? I'm just

03:27throwing it out there, though,

03:28that don't dismiss that he ends

03:29up on the Dodgers. Like, don't

03:31start for people to think, oh,

03:32the Dodgers are done. They're

03:33not done.

03:34Do you think that he would

03:36actually ever cross his mind

03:38that if he went to Queens, the

03:40abuse he would take in New York

03:42from Yankee fans, that it just

03:44wouldn't be worth it to deal

03:45with that nonsense? Because I

03:46guarantee he's going to have to

03:47deal with it if he goes to play

03:48for the Mets. He'll be haunted

03:50by these people.

03:51Could he have been any more

03:52obvious last night? Like,

03:54basically, like, looking up,

03:55took around the dugout,

03:56basically.

03:57Yeah.

03:58Shook, shook, like, you know,

03:59the field guy hand. Yeah, yeah.

04:00See you later.

04:01It's over.

04:02It's going to be another 15

04:03years for the Yankees. Trust me.

04:05They lose him. They are so

04:07average without him. It's not

04:08even funny with Mr. Strikeout

04:10King.

04:11Honestly.
