00:00That's cap. You ain't had no Tim Clark. Tim Clark. It was three hours

00:05That's cap. Courtney. Stop it. What would you do for three hours talked?

00:10No caps

00:13You asked you asked

00:15I ain't buying that one. I give you like an hour and a half and then after that it's like

00:20All right, let's get up out of here and maybe go someplace else or something

00:23you ain't sit down, but my point is

00:26If they if there's not an interest in the Red Sox for Juan Soto

00:32He would just be like, okay time for me to go and the Red Sox they know what the

00:36Asking price is so then why not make the deal then?

00:40Well, because you don't want to be too eager on the money, right?

00:42You don't want to mean what else would they be meeting?

00:44Well, you don't know the problem is, you know, the Mets are and the Mets are saying this publicly they're sitting there

00:51Waiting to write the biggest check right doesn't matter so let them set the market so you have to

00:57You have to have

00:59some hope that Juan Soto

01:02Actually wants to be a part of this franchise and and that maybe it's not just about the money, right?

01:09And if you but if you're Juan Soto or if you're the Red Sox any good negotiation

01:14And you know, there's other teams that are gonna negotiate

01:17Let those other teams set the market. You don't set the market

01:21So you think the Red Sox are lying in wait to be the highest bidder?

01:24Oh you lie and wait and you see what that number is that if another team wants to throw a number out there

01:29Then you start to know like okay. Is that a number? We really want to go over. Is that a number?

01:34We really who knows that's why you let somebody else set the market when you know, there's other

01:40Teams out there that are very interested that he's meeting with you know a couple days after you

01:46this is

01:48Tim

01:49Tim good morning

01:51Guys, good morning. I love you all courtesy. You're the only one that sounds like they're thinking properly

01:57I'll tell you what I said for the last three years

02:01These guys in the front office have false

02:05Pretenses everything else down the road. They just don't spend I think the reason why they don't

02:11Pablo Sandoval, I believe that was his name

02:15Created a problem for these guys years ago, right? They had they struggled to pay devas

02:21His money. Okay, and then I don't think they want to put the cash out

02:25They all have good meetings, but they're going to go nowhere. They're not going to spend

02:31Look what they did with this picture. Is this guy a miracle guy that they paid a million dollars for?

02:36Come on, change the ways do it the right way

02:39Otherwise the fans are getting pissed off tim an organization can't change the way they do business

02:45they can't determine that they made them like

02:48They clearly wanted john henry and others wanted a correction when it came to salaries in major league baseball

02:54that

02:55so

02:56I get it. What was john henry doing yesterday? Greg? I don't know curtis. It's disappointing. It's disappointing. Could I say what?

03:03Yeah, could I say one more thing?

03:05Yes, the thing is today you we all we talk about it every week every month

03:09The salary's on change and man these young kids they want the boatload they want to go to a great team

03:16But if the team ain't there and they just want their cash and that's the way today's world is guys

03:22Well, he's gonna get it. I love you all

03:24Okay, the thing with a player like juan soto is he's going to get the cash

03:29Like he knows he's going to get the cash, right? So they're

03:34The chance that you have is that there are other factors

03:37That are a part of it, I I guess I don't know did they tell him about snowport

03:44I don't know if they know about the snowboard. Yeah, I don't know if they did

03:48But that could have been something they could have

03:51Right like reg was talking about I mean

03:54How many awkward laughs from sam kennedy over three hours? Did they tell him about the freedom trail? Oh

04:00I mean there are things here

04:02The foliage right I would have told them about the huge dominican population

04:07That is in massachusetts, and you know one if you're a hockey fan, we got tickets to the penguins whenever you want them

04:13It's a special time great dominican food around here

04:17You know dominican music. There's a I mean I get the argument

04:21as

04:22well expressed by baseball brett on this show

04:25that you are

04:27Putting all of your eggs in one basket. Yep

04:31But that doesn't necessarily have to be the case

04:34You can pay him right and then you can

04:38You can pay others you can

04:41You can trade

04:43prospects

04:44But we've also seen before that one guy can change a franchise, you know

04:49so when you think of the red socks and you think of and I I think it's more of

04:56Fans now know

04:58Like they're saying all right, so for the past three or four years

05:03You've guys been holding your wallets pretty tight to your hip

05:07and you've been telling us that you have in the market like you there was a rumored offer that you were in the

05:12That you offered yamamoto 300 million. It is now time for you

05:18To shut up and put up because I think fans are past it

05:22And I think the red socks know that the fans kind of see through the bs that they've been

05:27Pushing out for the past couple of years

05:29So they have to make a major splash to kind of get fans to buy back into

05:33What they could potentially be selling us moving forward and if you're juan soto and you meet for three hours

05:39And you have meetings with other teams

05:42You gain nothing from saying I didn't like it

05:45If you say it went well, then other teams have to up their game

05:49And ensure they meet with you and they offer to you losing suitors

05:53At this stage is the opposite of how scott boris has brilliantly negotiated billions of dollars worth of baseball contracts

06:00Yeah, it would be stupid to say the meeting wasn't great, right?

06:03So we shouldn't use that as any sort of judgment as to where the team is

06:07No, I use the fact that you met for three hours

06:10That's what I because you think that that shows interest. Yes from juan soto

06:15Yeah, if you're the red socks or if you're one soto, you know, like there's a market out there

06:20If i'm not interested in that team, i'm not spending three hours of my time sitting there

06:26You know, we hey we can cut this meeting short

06:28He probably went in there with boris, you know for all you people out there that were dating

06:32There was somebody probably ready to give a fake text message where one's like, oh I gotta go

06:37The meeting lasted three hours got an emergency at the crib, but the meeting lasted three hours

06:41But we don't know how long he fell asleep when tom warner was talking. Yeah, maybe he did

06:46But he's easily got somebody on standby like oh, I got an emergency at the crib. Uh, sam

06:51I gotta cut this thing short. I had no idea roseanne tom warner probably likes dinner at about five o'clock or so

06:58He doesn't mention the brazan show anymore. That's

07:03This is

07:05High-pitched jeff. Hello jeff

07:08Good morning, everybody. Happy friday. Same to you

07:12Hey, so wiggy, I like a wiggy

07:14You know stop saying cody's cap in about three hours when we had that whole discussion for like three days

07:19A few years back when she held up a whole table. Yeah for three hours and left a crappy tip. It's not

07:25It's not I didn't think she's a table hog. Wait, hold on. Hold on. I did not leave a crappy tip at all

07:30I never do that

07:32And also i'm not

07:33Hogging up the table if i'm continuing to order things if that's my bills just going up. Yes, that's true

07:39But you ain't ordering that for three hours. There's a good there's a good table time. It's an hour and a half, right?

07:44So people want to sit down and eat three hours is too much jeff

07:47If you're looking at the room jeff

07:49If you're the waiter and you have a table full of people and they're ordering drinks and their bill is going up and up and

07:54Up and they're going to tip 20 plus percent

07:57You're mad about that

07:59I'm, not mad. I'm just making an obvious point that happened

08:02Yeah, but but i'm i'm asking because you said i'm hogging the table. It's not hot

08:07You want me to give up my seat

08:09But you want to get you want me to give up my seat for then somebody else to come in who may not who may be

08:13a bad tipper

08:14Good point. Yeah, but you know, okay, but I retract my bring

08:19No, here's how it goes high pitch jeff

08:21You might be ordering drinks, but which might be 20 bucks per drink, right?

08:26So you you wait you're wasting this guy's time for a few drinks when the next person to come in

08:31Is ordering a full meal it's going to be way so they're not

08:36Who goes in and sits at a table and doesn't order dinner

08:38Have you ever seen a group of girls that go in and just get like apps to share?

08:42That's a waiter's worst nightmare. So yeah, i've so then that's why he would want to push them out

08:48But but if they pushed me and santo out who's ordering bottles of wine for then a group of girls to come in and order

08:56Shared apps. Yeah, but you said you've done it with a group of you and santo are not sitting at a table for three

09:00Yes, we I i'm telling you I could not tell you the last time I went to dinner at a restaurant and left

09:06under two and a half hours

09:09Great breaking curtis breaking. Do you know what the pitch deck was called during the meeting yesterday? No

09:15Full throttle. Oh, I love it

09:18I I you know what?

09:19I actually don't even think he's gonna meet with another team he and tom warner are gonna take a walk today

09:23Maybe they do greg send out the bat signal to santo to see if she really

09:28If they really have dinner for two and a half hours

09:31Send them santo. I've gotten plenty of dinner dinners with greg and dms and our dinners are not over in two and a half hours

09:39Oh, no, I mean they're not

09:43Have we had I don't think we've had a three-hour a hundred percent capital grill

09:49Did you have to go to the bathroom? Yeah, but that was like appetizers and uh, yeah, I mean, I guess was that that wasn't three

09:56Yes, i'm telling you it was

09:58Greg, you are just like hogging up hogging up the tables for three hours

10:03I am not a hog. I am not a hog. I would rather be kicked in the nuts

10:07That is the biggest douche move around an hour and a half left the next people come in

10:12That's like I mean hour and a half. How do you even get through a course?

10:16You get your food and then you know where you go. Do you or do you order?

10:20Do you order as soon as you sit down?

10:22Yeah, you kind of know what you're getting the greatest thing that james has outside of the fact that he's perfect

10:27Is the fact that the second I sit down I give the server the card we order boom 30 minutes later. We're out of there

10:33This is jack from lancaster. What's up jack?

10:38What's up guys, um

10:40Just didn't want to overlook the fact that juan soto is a yankee

10:44And he's a trader. He's looking for a bag when he gets paid

10:50I think things are things are going to get ugly quickly

10:54So i'm off i'm off on one soda, he's a trader I think is that because he left I just washington

11:02Well, he well he had to get out of washington

11:04But now he plays for the yankees and we're just going to overlook the fact that we we don't like them

11:10Well, wasn't he traded to the yankees? Yeah. Yeah from san diego, right? No say in the matter

11:16I don't care if you signed with me. Yeah, I don't care if you play for the yankees if aaron judge was like

11:20Hey, I want to go to boston tomorrow and play i'd be like sign me up. I know

11:26Whatever he wants. Yeah, like who who cares about that?
