00:00If the Yankees or Mets had Corbin Burns, are you trading him to the Orioles?
00:04The answer is no.
00:05If you are the Brewers and you have, or we're the Mets and Yankees,
00:08and we had Freddie Peralta pre-Met days,
00:10are you trading him to the Mets a year before free agency?
00:13I didn't even think about Freddie Peralta in this.
00:15The answer is no.
00:16Are you trading Josh Hader?
00:18The answer is no.
00:19Are you even trading Devin Williams?
00:21The answer is no.
00:22All of those moves in small ways led to the building of this team,
00:26and it was built because they didn't keep people that we would have kept.
00:31We can't be them.
00:32We can't.
00:33You can fantasize about it all day.
00:35You want to do that?
00:36But should we?
00:37You want to start trading guys that are good?
00:38I don't know.
00:39Just like instead of keeping things forever and hoping that at some point
00:45you fall into the expectation that you had years ago,
00:49why not just try something different?
00:52Move off from one of those guys
00:54and bring in a young player.
00:56Bring in Spencer Jones.
00:58So instead of having this idea that we're going to overspend
01:04and eventually it's going to work.
01:06Because that's the thing about the Max Freed deal.
01:09Like we're an eight-year deal.
01:11We're overspending here.
01:13Eventually it's going to work out for us.
01:15Garrett Cole's the same way.
01:16Seven- to eight-year deal.
01:17But weren't they better off signing those guys?
01:19Of course they were.
01:20So then what are you saying?
01:20They shouldn't?
01:21We shouldn't.
01:22I don't know what I'm saying,
01:23but I'm just saying like overspending for the best player available
01:27and then hoping that it will eventually work out is not working out.
01:32Here's the best part about what you said.
01:33When you said, I don't know what I'm saying,
01:35that's what the Brewers' success does to us.
01:37Yeah.
01:38It confuses you.
01:40What, we're supposed to become the Brewers now?
01:42Mm-mm.
01:43No!
01:43But more Brewer-like, perhaps.
01:45Here's what I know.
01:47When I said earlier—
01:48Like, do you really need to hang on to all these guys?
01:49No, but I'll tell you this.
01:50As a Met fan, I can speak.
01:52Like, do you really need to give Trent Grisham a qualifying offer?
01:54Well, that's different.
01:55Yeah.
01:56Probably not.
01:56I can tell you this.
01:57As a Met fan, I've thought about it.
01:59I've studied it.
01:59I've analyzed it.
02:00And I'll do it right now.
02:02Day one of free agency.
02:03Because free agency basically begins right now.
02:04Yes.
02:05I want Tarek Scoble.
02:06So I'm not emulating the Brewers because they wouldn't.
02:09They would try to trade for him and rent them.
02:10They wouldn't try to sign him.
02:12I want him.
02:12So I can't emulate them as much as there's the successful team we're all staring at.
