00:007, 765 million over 15 years, 51 million per year, 4,250,000 a month, 139,000 a day, 5,821

00:18an hour, $97 a minute, $1.62 a second is what Juan Soto will make over the 15 years. I like

00:30the 5,800 an hour. That's pretty good. 5,800 bucks an hour. Your boy's picking up.

00:37There's only one guy, Otani, who makes anywhere near what he makes, and he's not even making

00:44any of that because he's getting it all deferred. This guy's in real-time money. Famous last words,

00:52you never know when you're going to be around. You're going to pay me when I'm 70. What? What

01:00is that? I don't even know what that is. You're going to pay me when I'm retired. I don't even

01:04know what that is. This guy got $765 million now over the next 15 years, every day. He's

01:13making $139,000 a day. I mean, you got to be effing kidding me. I've never heard of anything

01:19in anything. Never. I've never heard of anything for one individual in any business or sport. No

01:29one's ever come close to that deal. So when I said yesterday, we are right around the corner doing

01:34pushups from the first billion dollar player in Major League Baseball. It's coming down the pike,

01:42count on it, because you're only 200 and change 230 whatever grand, 230 million from a billion

01:51dollars. All it is, is two more years. That's what it is. It's two more years of pay. The

01:59Yankees offered him one more year, and it was three million less per year than he would have

02:03made in the 15 years what he's making now. So he laughed. He's so greedy, this guy, that he got

02:10the same amount of money essentially, but less money per year from the Yankees. So he walked

02:16across the street to that dump in Queens, and he's going to play for the Mets who don't have

02:22the Yankees history. Let's just face facts. Now I won't deny it's great for the Mets. It really is.

02:28It's great for the Mets, but in some capacity, I do not believe for one minute that this won't

02:34hurt them down the road. And I'm talking about being able to pay everybody else. I honestly,

02:40you cannot tell me that you pay a guy 139 grand a day, and it doesn't affect your bottom line.

02:49It makes no sense to me whatsoever. I get how they signed him, but remember this,

02:54five years he can leave. I don't trust that guy as far as I can spit.

03:00That's the funny thing about it. I was watching something. It was a clip from

03:05the ESPN, Passon and Buster Olney. They were doing a little talk about the Soto deal.

03:11And they said, Passon said, who's obviously as tapped in as anybody, that secretly behind the

03:17scenes, the executives of the Mets and the Yankees were both hoping that he would pick the other team

03:25because of the longer term ramifications that come with signing a guy to a 15 year,

03:33765 million dollar deal and what it limits you in doing in other places.

03:39And there just becomes a number where it's like, you gotta be kidding me. And they were still

03:43doing the stories today about that. The deal breaker was that the Yankees wouldn't give him

03:48a suite, his own suite. That's ridiculous. Enough. It's not money. Stop. It's about money.

03:55Stop talking about suites.
