How do you think that 15-year deal Soto got is going to pan out for him, like health-wise,
00:09
everything else?
00:10
He got all the money in the world.
00:11
Do you think it'll pan out?
00:13
I think it'll pan out for the next five to 10 years, and what I honestly think is we're
00:18
looking at a guy who's eventually going to be a DH.
00:20
I honestly thought the money for this guy was foolish from the get-go.
00:23
I never understood it.
00:24
Shoei Ohtani made sense to me.
00:26
You're roughly giving him a 20-year deal because it's sparsed out over 20 years, and
00:30
you're paying for two separate players, the pitcher and then the hitter.
00:34
So that's $350 million each for each one of those players.
00:38
I honestly think Soto will be a DH in five to seven years, and he turns 35 years in,
00:43
and that's a pretty big deal because he also has that opt-out of which Steve Cohen can
00:47
immediately void by making an $805 million contract, but keep in mind, he still leads
00:52
another 10 years on that deal.
00:55
How does it work out?
00:56
If they got no rings after 10 years, it didn't work out.
01:00
Do you like the Lizardo deal that the Phillies pulled off?
01:05
I do.
01:06
I do, but it made me disappointed in what in the living hell are the Miami Marlins?
01:10
This is a team that was in the playoffs two years ago, and they celebrated that playoff
01:14
berth two years ago by giving Kim Ng, the first female GM in Major League Baseball,
01:19
a new boss that she had to answer to.
01:21
So she skipped out of town, and they've just been selling off all their decent assets ever
01:26
since.
01:28
Everyone looks over at the Oakland A's, well, the Sacramento A's, and gets mad at them,
01:33
as they should, and trust me, I have a lot to say on that, but someone should really
01:36
get mad at what's happening in Miami.
01:38
It's been a calamity down there.
01:41
What did you think when the Cubs landed Tucker?
01:44
Shocked me, literally surprised me, just because this has been a team that hasn't made a whole
01:48
lot of noise as of late, and Tucker was a great pickup.
01:52
I heard a lot of people around the Bronx begging for Kyle Tucker here in Yankee Stadium.
01:55
I thought that was kind of a fool's errand.
01:57
I didn't think there was any chance they would trade him over here to the New York Yankees,
02:01
but for the Cubs, a lot of on base, a lot of stolen base, ton of power.
02:06
He is a phenomenal pickup over there.
02:08
If the Cubs could just go get another arm, I wish they would go and get in the Burns
02:11
saga, but they simply already announced that they won't do it.
02:14
If they can just get another frontline arm, the Cubs should run away with this division
02:19
because the Brewers look like they're going to take a step back.
02:21
The Reds are starting to improve.
02:23
The Pirates need to come into their own, but the only team that's seemingly ready to make
02:27
that jump is the Cubs.
02:29
So for the love of God, spend some money.
02:31
The Pirates don't spend money.
02:32
You know that.
02:33
Their payroll is a joke.
02:34
They never spend money.
02:37
Never will.
02:38
Never will.
02:39
They signed today, re-signed Andrew McCutcheon.
02:41
I love the fit form just because, you know, it's kind of a going home thing for them.
02:45
But no, they never spend money, which is why I find it funny that everyone's talking about
02:48
locking up Skeens now.
02:50
Skeens now?
02:51
That guy might be the billion dollar guy in five years.
02:54
There's no way he's going to get locked up over there now.
02:57
Can you believe they were going to get rid of some of their pitchers like, you know,
03:02
Keller?
03:03
They were talking about getting rid of Jones.
03:04
Are they crazy?
03:05
They're nuts.
03:06
They're nuts.
03:07
Well, they're just a franchise that refuses to spend.
03:09
They make money hand over fist and feel like they've been fleecing that wonderful city
03:13
of Pittsburgh forever.
03:15
That's a team that should be good.
03:17
We've seen them in the playoffs in the last 10 years.
03:19
Remember that blackout they had with Garrett Cole on the mound?
03:22
Dude, give me some good Pirates baseball.
03:24
They're young and they're hungry, but that ownership is always going to stand right in
03:28
the way.
