00:00All right, now the fun part, the last thing for you about this.

00:06Here's Soto.

00:07By the way, Yankees since 2013, 6-0 in playoff series against teams from the AL Central,

00:140-6 against everybody else over the last 11 years.

00:19So they only win in the playoffs when they play the Twins, the Guardians, or the Royals.

00:26That's all they beat, are those teams.

00:28They don't beat anybody else when they play them.

00:30They don't beat anyone that's good, is what that means.

00:35Pretty much, that's how you can chalk that up to, with those kind of numbers.

00:39So Soto will be a free agent.

00:41Soto was asked 6,000 times last night about, is the Yankees a favorite, do you give them

00:48any edge, do you give this team an edge, do you give that team an edge.

00:52This is the one I thought summed it up the best for Juan Soto.

00:56I'm open to everybody.

00:57There's nobody who's not going to get a chance to give me the most money possible.

01:01Do you expect some edge to come after you?

01:06I mean, I don't know what's the teams that want to come after me, but definitely I'll

01:12be open to this and every single team.

01:15I don't have any doors closed or anything like that.

01:18So I'm going to be available for all 30 teams.

01:23All 30 teams.

01:24Fire away.

01:26Get the checkbook out.

01:30He's a generational player and he is worth every penny, in my view, and he's been very

01:38fun to watch play baseball on a daily basis, watching that guy get five at-bats.

01:45There's no one in baseball, in my opinion, that has better at-bats than Juan Soto.

01:50I've never seen a guy stare down a pitcher and literally challenge them on every pitch

01:55to, you know, you can't get it by me.

01:58You're not going to get me out.

01:59I'm going to get a hit.

02:01I'm going to hit a home run.

02:03You can't make me strike out.

02:05Like I've never seen anything like it.

02:07And he has that aura about him.

02:09He stands there and stares him down.

02:11When he walks, he takes his gloves off the whole time.

02:13He's staring at the pitcher like, you see, I told you, you can't even, you can't keep

02:18me off the base.

02:19The guy was on base 25 straight games.

02:21Isn't that what it was, the postseason, 25 games?

02:25This guy is unbelievable and he's going to leave the Yankees.

02:29I have never seen anything like it.

02:31I just don't know what is wrong with people.

02:34Now, I get it.

02:36They don't win.

02:37They don't win lately.

02:38It's been 15 years.

02:39So they don't win lately.

02:41They go to the playoffs, they lose.

02:42So I get it, I guess, from that perspective that you could leave the Yankees.

02:46I don't know how, like, it's like Rizzo said, Rizzo said it best, he's like, you put this

02:51one on, this jersey, this one's better than all of them, all of them.

02:57And it's better than the Dodgers, 27 world championships.

03:00I'm sorry, they got eight, okay?

03:02So count, you can do math, right?

03:04There's one team in baseball that you just can't walk away from.

03:08And he's going to walk away from them in five seconds.

03:11That's amazing to me.

03:12I don't know how anyone can walk away from the New York Yankees.

03:14I gotta, I gotta tell you.

03:15They got more money than God.

03:17So it's unbelievable to me.

03:19And he'll walk away from them for $1 more, not $20, not $50, not $100, $1 more, he'll

03:27walk away from them.

03:28Well, that's what's wrong with the game.

03:31That's what's wrong with the game.

03:32I mean, like, you know, I gotta be honest with you.

03:35I never thought Jeter would leave.

03:37I never thought Judge would leave.

03:39I never, you know, and they didn't.

03:41Yeah.

03:42Okay.

03:43The Judge is a lot different.

03:44A lot of people say, well, they were able to keep Judge.

03:47Judge came up a Yankee, grew up a Yankee, had a lot of, there was a lot of other factors

03:52with Judge staying a Yankee.

03:55This guy was here for one year.

03:56He's a mercenary.

03:58He doesn't care.

03:59Judge cared about Yankee legacy and things like that.

04:02I don't think Soto cares about that.
