Transcript

00:00Did you see the rays are going to try and get, uh, get in on the, uh, the Juan Soto

00:04game.

00:05This is exactly what I was telling with the, with we need irresponsible Bruce Sherman.

00:10What he needs to do, just like the rays did.

00:12Okay.

00:13Just like all the other owners tried to do down here, just tangle a little something

00:17out there.

00:18Let's just have some fun.

00:19You know, doesn't Bruce Sherman want to have a little fun and like, what's the harm?

00:23I mean, sure.

00:24You probably shouldn't sign somebody to a contract that you have no business paying,

00:28but on the other side of it, Leroy, what you could do is you just do it.

00:32And then once you can't pay him, you get rid of them, baby, the Marlin staple right there.

00:37Yeah.

00:38Let's just have a little fun, you know, treat a Juan Soto like Bluetooth.

00:45Now you can do it and do it right.

00:55Juan Soto.

00:56If he's going to take a meeting with the rays, why not a meeting with the fish?

00:59Because they don't even have a roof right now.

01:01They don't have a stadium.

01:03No.

01:04Um, how much do you think it'll cost?

01:08They're talking 500 million.

01:11Yeah.

01:12Okay.

01:13Irresponsible.

01:14I understand.

01:15Like, you know, it's amazing.

01:18What can I just say this about you?

01:20That is totally baffling, right?

01:23You're the same guy who's trying to see how many miles he can get out of his car.

01:29He's on forever.

01:30Yep.

01:31But every time you talk about money, you want everybody to just be all willy nilly with

01:36it because this is, this is not your money.

01:40It's a playpen.

01:41It's not, it's a playpen.

01:42No one's, there's no consequences.

01:43Here's Toman negotiating.

01:44Yo Juan, come see me.

01:45Okay.

01:46Uh, see that jet over there.

01:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

01:48no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:54Okay.

01:55See that jet over there.

01:58No, no, no, no, that's not mine.

02:01Come on in.

02:02Okay.

02:03Hear me out.

02:04We're going to give you $550 billion, we're going to pay you 200,000 for the first three

02:14years.

02:15That's right.

02:16Then trade your ass before we ever had to pay the millions that we go over you we call it the yeah

02:22We call it the Otani now. No tiny or you could also call it the Stanton. Yep

02:30Because remember they were paying him like two million. It wasn't that little but I

02:37They they nothing they paid it wasn't nothing but if they paid him

02:41The first like six years was like a hundred million and then it got cranked up

02:47It's more like the Delgado

02:49when they paid Delgado like three million and then all of a sudden the next year when he went to the Mets it was like

02:55If you put if you plan on actually paying Juan Soto

02:59It's the old-timey if you plan on getting rid of his contract, you know, you call it the Delgado

03:04I saw today that the Marlins are

03:08Interviewing Clayton McCullough Dodgers first base coach for their managerial job because both guys that they really wanted said no, thanks

03:16Great

03:20That's the sign that's the sign we had a guy decide you know what I think I'm gonna not be a manager and work in

03:27Cleveland for another year instead of go be your manager. Sorry, you know

03:32A really good team. Yeah, the bench coach though. There's the bench. Oh, they have a good team

03:38Guess you don't think can I ask here?

03:41You don't think that

03:43Even though there's only what 30 jobs. Yep. You don't think people look at this job and

03:49Go, I don't want to deal with that food since they got going on down there. How could you not?

03:53How good right?

03:54So the fact that he wants to stay on to be the bench coach and a third base coach or whatever

03:59Has nothing to do with whether he wants to be a coach is whether he wants to be a coach here

04:04I mean, it's all a nonsense skip Schumacher's like I'd rather not manage and be an advisor to another team

04:12Then manage you

04:14You know why they call me advisors, right?

04:16No

04:18Because if you have money

04:21Left you're not a coach and you can still get paid. Yeah double dip. Yeah, nice

04:29So you get a different type

04:32That's why you ever notice a coach

04:35When he switches teams and he's still the defense coordinator

04:38They just throw a tag on assistant head coach because you can't change you got to get an increase in job

04:43Don't you think though like if we got a real ownership group in here like if we could get a Panthers

04:48Vinny Viola not him literally but like a real owner in there who could who could just put consistency into the Marlins

04:56No, there's no show that you do that why cuz everybody will celebrate when the last owner left

05:02Yeah, I had these thoughts when this guy came in he foisted Jeter on us

05:07again

05:08That's not the way you were talking. We outside his window. No, what do you mean?

05:14The one

05:18The way you were talking you were making fun of Curtis Granderson

05:22Hold on a grown-ass man who has been baseball his whole life. Very nice man, by the way reach very nice

05:30Reach down to catch a fly ball and stepped on his own glove

05:37So it was all like three people there. I

05:41started laughing

05:42My like what it was funny. What do you want me to do?

05:47Right, if you out if you watch a baseball

05:51I don't care what level and I'll feel to ran to catch a ball and stepped on his glove and fell on his face

05:58Like yeah

06:01Baseball money so crazy though

06:03I mean the Panthers get to do this and fans the Panthers do get to do this and like would you pay you paying these

06:07guys like at most

06:09You know having a year like that's it. That's a whole that's like them these pay. I'm surprised these hockey players

06:14It feels like hockey business is booming

06:17But it all depends on how much they're making so seven seven million seven million

06:22It's a backup second baseman. Think about this if you have a union. Mm-hmm. It's a percentage

06:28So same thing with football

06:30The reason why the football contracts keep going up is because the salary cap keeps going up

06:36I'm just saying it's funny. Like it's just like it's funny that of all the sports that baseball seems the most ridiculous as far as pay

06:44and

06:46hockey is like

06:47Guy makes eight million

06:50No, not like we pay the guy to sit on the bench in Miami I'm talking about the Dolphins

06:58Will fuller

06:59No, I don't even know what number he wore. I

07:03Don't know but I had a lot of zeros after it

07:10Didn't they pay him like 10 million I think 10 billion. Yeah
