00:00What did you think of Alonzo finally doing the deal with the Mets?
00:04About damn time, right? About damn time. I mean, it made too much sense for both parties, right?
00:10Like, was Pete gonna go play with the Reds? Was he gonna go play with the Angels? The Jays?
00:14Come on, man. And then you throw in the fact that, hey, the Mets need a bat behind Soto.
00:19You spent $800 million on Soto. You might as well keep a guy that you know is a proven commodity.
00:25But you know this, Scotty. It's gonna be weird when he comes back, because I think it's pretty obvious.
00:29Pete didn't get the love that he deserved. And the Mets basically told him, yeah, you should be renting. Don't be buying.
00:36Well, what about the fact that he still, despite knowing that they were giving him kind of the salmon hand,
00:44the cold fish, like they didn't want him, he still did a deal with them?
00:48Like, I would have been like, if you don't want me, I'm out of here. I'm out of here. Why do you do that?
00:53But I'll never forget that home run he hit at Milwaukee. Like, that was the greatest hit of his career.
00:58Crazy.
00:59How do you get rid of a guy that does something like that?
01:01Well, and I think that played into it. The price coming down played into it.
01:05Yeah, if I were Alonzo, to put myself in his shoes like you just did, I wouldn't go back there.
01:10No way. Because I'd say, where's the love? Where's the appreciation?
01:14So it was like when you left the fan, the ringer came along with all this money.
01:20And then you couldn't stay at the fan. You went for the money. I would have gone for the money.
01:25I would have taken the ringer job, too. You were famous at the fan. You were huge at the fan.
01:29Had a great show at the fan. But you always got to take the bag.
01:32Remember, Pharrell advice, always take the bag.
01:35Always go to the best restaurant.
01:38My boss is a badass, too. Don't forget about that. That helps.
01:41Your boss is a badass. Your new boss is a badass.
01:44But your old bosses were kind of curmudgeons. Kind of. I mean, they were kind of nerdy curmudgeons.
01:52But I'm friends with all of them. I've known them longer than you've been alive.
