"I mean, all sorts of things could go wrong, and I really like sanga and that seems like a smart signing relative to some of the other deals we've seen for starting pitchers on this market, like I'm a pretty big believer in him, just given his results in NPP and given his stuff. I mean, it's not quite ohtani, but it's Otani esque in the sense that he has a fastball that he throws very hard that is maybe more hittable than you would think just based on the velocity, but then he has a wipeout splitter and he has a whole range of other offerings, so not saying he's an ace like Otani necessarily in MLB, but I don't see why he can't be an effective mid rotation starter and that's all they're asking him to be here. So even though they're spending so much relative to other teams, they're not better than other teams are not that much better than the other good teams that are spending less and things could easily fall apart for them. So if we were to get to a point where they were just invulnerable and completely dominant and you felt like the season was over before it started, then that would be a bummer, but I just don't know that we can get there in baseball. We got an email from Emmett's fan, Patreon supporter named Russell gulps team and this is interesting given what we've been talking about. He said, I'm having a bit of a fandom existential crisis, and I need you to be my therapist for a minute for background. I'm a lifelong mets fan who has suffered through the wilpon years coming close to a championship a couple of times, but always ending up in disappointment, always being the younger sibling to the Yankees and growing up always being frustrated seeing them buying every player to win, the day Steve Cohen took over the mets. I was over the moon excited, knowing we would finally have a payroll that would be competitive. However, during this off season spending spree, surprisingly, it is kind of made me question what I'm actually rooting for or why we root at all at what point does a team become just hired guns only here to end this championship drought and I actually not actually rooting for the mets to win games, but by the transitive property I'm just rooting for Steve Cohen to spend more money. If the mets win the World Series, aren't I just celebrating the spending of $350 million? I know that the issue here is that the system is broken, the pirates are a's could spend 400 million on players, but they don't, or some number of millions, more than they do. But do I need to just accept that Cohen isn't doing anything wrong and remember that baseball is just a wonderful, amazing distraction from this horrible rotten slog to rigor mortis, help. So he's feeling like it's just a mercenaries. I mean, even if it's someone like nimmo, whom you're bringing back, I guess if you feel like that it does come down to how much you spend or hey, our owner is richer than your owner and that's why we won. That probably wouldn't be super satisfying. I just, I don't know that it's at that point where the dollars dictate the results to such an extent that you have to feel that one to one relationship like there's still a lot of uncertainty. I mean, if you did give the raise 354 $100 million and they continued to operate the way that they have, then I wonder what they could do with all that money. But the mets weren't the raise before they started spending all of this money. And so I don't know if you're a mets fan, you're probably a little bit drunk on just the riches here that your franchise hasn't had at its disposal or hasn't used previously. And maybe you also feel like, oh, are we the baddies now? Are we Yankees? Are we the team that's just buying championships? I don't know that it's like feasible to buy championships in the milk beef. Like you can't do it. Yeah, I think that that's right. And I also, again, I think, you know, I can't make you feel a different way about it if you feel a particular way about it. But first of all, I think it's probably worth noting that a not small chunk of the millions that got spent this off season were spent in service of retaining a player who was homegrown, right? So some of this is, hey, we want to stay in the Brandon nimmo business, or in I give Brandon nimmo a bunch of money because we like Brandon nimmo, right? So like some of it is in service of retaining your own guys, not all of it, obviously. But yeah, I think when you get down to it, like think about teams, there are teams where they draft or sign the guys who end up being their stars. And those dudes are in the organization from day one. They never move around. But one I think that, you know, being overly fixated on the mode of player acquisition is sort of a fruitless endeavor because like teams acquire and move players around all the time and a lot of different ways. And there's nothing novel about signing free agents. It's just novel in terms of the dollar amount that's being attributed to them here. So there's that piece of it. There are plenty of guys who end up being really important players on contending teams who they might spend their entire big league career with your club, but they moved around before that. They came over and different moves in different trades. Mostly I think that when you walk into the ballpark and you look down on the field and you see a free agent, maybe the way to feel about it is that guy really wanted to be a met, right? And part of what made him want to be a met was a big check, but like that guy made a proactive decision to come here and be a med. Or if your Francisco Lindor to stay a man, right? So they want to be there with you. They want to be there with you on a special what could be a special run at a championship. And you know, I think it's fine to look at the guys who you've been paying attention to and thinking about and dreaming on since they were prospects and feel something special about them. I feel a particular special kind of way about Julio Rodriguez because he's just been a Mariner from day one, right? And I feel a special particular kind of way about Edgar Martinez because he spent his entire big league career with Seattle. But I have gotten a ton of enjoyment out of guys who were only there for a couple of years and they made a choice to be Mariners and that was exciting too, right? Like that's affirming to your sense of fandom. So I don't know if that's persuasive, I don't know if that kind of moves the needle, but you know, to recap, I think that we tend to forget or minimize all of the different ways that players move around how it sort of normal that is now, right? That guys do move around a lot in the course of their careers much more than they used to. And also, like, they made a decision to come hang out with you in Queens. That's great. Like be excited about that. That's so fun. Sure, the check mattered, but, you know, I think sanga got offers, right? Brandon demo God offers some Verlander God offers. And these offers were bigger, but he made a decision to take this one. That's exciting. You can feel excited about that. That's pretty great. Okay, so maybe we can transition to the a's via the three team trade with the braves, the mets division rival because as I said, Dan gave me the updated standings and the braves still on top with a projected 96 wins to the mitts 93 as things stand the Phillies at 89 and then the Marlins and the nets have slipped down even further.

"We need the jets are going to lose that one. Best of the weekend. Thank you, uncle Stevie Cohen, a couple of early sound I could guess for us met fans Brandon nimmo coming back and Cody sanga on the mound. We're going to half a $1 billion payroll this year and after decades with the S and will pun. I am unapologetic and I don't care. All right. Thank you, Barry. When your team spends all that money, you're fine with it. But when the Yankees used to spend all that money, you're like, oh, you know, the evil empire. Bought a championship. Yeah. And then the red Sox did that. And then the Dodgers did that. Cubs did that. Everybody railed when the Yankees did it. And I always thought there's no better owner to have for your team than an owner who's willing to spend. And once to win. I mean, Steve Ballmer tried to win. I never would have invested. And who he invested in, but Kawhi Leonard, to me, damaged goods, great player, damaged goods. Can't rely on him. But you're going to spend the money, tried, but that's the owner I wanted, at least we're trying. Yeah. To go back to Dylan Benton and Barack, he just texted me. He said, was it plus 10,000, which is a hundred to one odds? So if you bet a hundred, you'd win ten grand, he put $50 down. Okay. I thought it was bigger than that. Couldn't he have lied? Yeah, helped a bit. Yeah. I really wish he was here so he can do his voice right now. Just Dylan voice? Yeah, I'm pulling. By the way, weekend, the Red Sox, they let bogarts go, and they didn't sign anybody. And the Red Sox fans are really upset that they didn't edit, but because they've been spending for 20 years, and this is the year, you know, our buddy Albert breer, Monday morning quarterback.

There's a call for a federal judge to stop a plan by New York City mayor Eric Adams to force people from the streets and into mental health treatment. Advocates for people with mental illnesses say that the policy dangerously permits the involuntary detention of individuals who seem to have a mental illness. The lawsuit seeks to remove police officers as first responders for those requiring healthcare. The Department of Justice is asking a federal judge to hold former president Trump's team in contempt over the Mar-a-Lago case. The DoJ says Trump's office failed to fully comply with a maze subpoena to return all classified documents in his possession. The U.S. is preparing new sanctions on Russia and China. It's for human rights abuses by both countries. The respect for marriage act has passed the House and Senate. It will protect same sex and interracial marriages. It has bipartisan support but Republican representative Dan newser of Pennsylvania says he chose not to support the revised version of the bill. I voted for it last time. Because it was very clear, it was a vote for a protection of marriage. This one seems to be in my view more about and encroachment on religious organizations. President Biden plans to sign it soon. It's the home stretch for NASA's Artemis moon mission, NASA mission manager Mike. The mission continues to proceed well and along the planned mission profile and we are setting up for earth reentry and splashdown and recovery of the Orion capsule following a skip reentry on December the 11th.

"Tracking Scott Boris's puns and wordplay and witticisms if you can call them that for years now and we actually had him on the show to talk about it and kind of grill him about his process. And this was the week where he held court at the GM meetings and just really reached a higher gear, I think, potentially. I mean, he outdid himself here, and I'm just curious as someone who covers baseball news for The New York Times and faces the decision of do I want to quote Scott Boris puns in the paper of records, which you did decide to do. You could notice that, oh man. Yes. So I checked. And you did note I will quote here from The New York Times. Where this is enshrined forever. Boris also the agent for Brandon nimmo and Taiwan walker had colorful ways of describing the demand for both players for nimmo, Boris used movie illusions, including a questionable pun. I appreciate that you questioned the pun. There are a lot of teams in the free agent market that are in the waters for a center Fielder whoever Pixar guy grown will be the lucky one to be finding nimmo grown again. And then for walker, Boris turned to a geographical play on words, he's one of the few players that's under 30 and he's had multiple 150 innings pitch season, so essentially Taiwan is on an island and I think the only question is who is willing Taipei? I thought the second one was a little better. The first one, the first one I missed the Pixar reference. I had to go back and listen to it. In real time, I didn't really hear that one. I just heard that I could tell when he said waters that he was going to start setting up a Finding Nemo. Reference. I did not pick up on the Pixar. I sat down and listened to the audio again. But I mean, I was like, you know, everyone obviously is like laughing. You roll your eyes because you know he's just like gearing up to unload one of these again. And you know, he tries to pass it off as if he's like coming up with it in the spot. But you know, he has like a sheet of paper in front of them. Like I didn't really see the paper, but you know he kind of like stops and funny you ask and then he quickly glances at a sheet of paper and he's like, oh God, here we go. And so you tell he was doing that in this case. I think at one point, after he was rolling through these, he does these to be clear, I think he probably said this. He does get the winner meetings too. So he's got twice a year where he kind of preps for these. As he was rolling through these in Las Vegas and just going one after another and at one point you could tell he was just trying to squeeze them in because he maybe hadn't been asked about ex player or whatever a certain player or why player like he was just going to oh, I got these, I got to throw them in. Yeah, right. Did someone ask me about it? Did someone say tax did? Well, funny you ask. So I finally one point was like, Scott, how do you keep a straight face while you do this? I just interrupted him. And he was like, what are you talking about? This is a very serious moment. Of course. Being sarcastic once again, he just rolled into the other ones that he had. But yeah, I mean, I think that was the first time I'd ever used his puns. I think it was just funny because the mets either so many free agents, the story that they were in was about the Met's off season just a broad look at their off season and how Jacob degrom is kind of their priority, but they have had so many free agents that included Brandon nimmo and Taiwan walker. It was an easy place low in the story to just quickly address those two guys. And so I just thought it was fun to just use them. Use them in that moment. But I think that might have been the first time in 11 years that I'd use one of the puns. So I think my track record is okay. I think it's the first time. Off the top of my head, it's the first time I think. Yeah, at your editor, was it like, do we need this? Or the standards desk? Are we actually not just at the paper? Because the motto is all the news that's fit to print. So you've decided that, in fact, this Pixar brand memo finding is fit to print and that it is preserved for posterity now in the paper of record. Not much pushback from my editor, and as you can see, it's published. So yeah. It worked out okay. Maybe because I am so conservative when it comes to these other times. I think maybe in this case, we thought it was okay. Right. He should hand out that little notepad that he has where he keeps track of this. It should be like a band that gives out the set list after the concert, someone takes it home and puts a picture on Twitter, someone should get the Boris set list for the puns, but you have a history. I was on my professor my ignorance, but I guess I missed his podcast appearance for you guys.

"UFOs, not unidentified and financially overlooked, but ultimate financial opportunity. He always says it best, you know, that was on the tip of my tongue if I'd had a few more minutes. I probably would have come up with UFO also. But that's why Boris is the best. All right, let me read a couple emails in response to something we talked about on our previous two podcasts. One was about players who should get the nickname three and two, the modern equivalent of three and two Jack graney. We talked about some listener submissions last time, but we got one more after that episode from a listener who I believe prefers to remain anonymous, but wrote, I was surprised no one wrote in suggesting Brandon nimmo on met's radio broadcast, how he rose and Wayne randazzo regularly referred to three two counts when nimmo is at the plate as a nimmo, Brandon is so proud of his ability to draw walks that he sprints to first base when he draws ball four, nimmo is a better than average player, but as working the count is such a big part of his approach as a hitter, I thought it might fit. And yeah, I think it does. Nimo is a good one. He's got some pop, but then who doesn't these days? So adjusted for the era, he's a decent choice. And two more responses to the conundrum of how and whether to raise a child as a fan of a particular team, Luke wrote in to say, hearing the discussion the past couple of episodes about how kids pick their favorite teams, I thought I'd share how my oldest picked his teams, I'm a cubs fan in South Georgia and hoped my son Andrew would follow in my path when he was first discovering sports when he was about 5, he would watch games and highlights with me, he naturally was drawn to Mike Trout as there always seemed to be a trout highlight in 2012 and 2013. But he also gravitated to the pirates at that time. It took me a few days to figure out why, but he liked them because they had Andrew mccutcheon. He said he liked them because he and mccutcheon both had the same name. He became a Bengals fan in the NFL for the same reason. He liked Andy Dalton. Ten years later, that's finally paying off for him. So basically, my kid isn't the cubs fan because I didn't think to name him after the best cubs player at that time. I'm sure now he's okay not being named after Alfonso soriano. And one more message in that vein from Brian, who says I wanted to mention a New York City dynamic about raising kids of different fandoms in the city, New York City is a city of immigrants and that includes baseball fans who bring their love of different teams to the city. My wife and I are Red Sox fans raising two boys to be sax fans in Brooklyn, we encounter fans of all kinds of different teams to the point that my son's little league team didn't even have a majority of the kids rooting for New York teams. It's hard to generate animosity for a different fan base in this environment. I can't say this would be the same in another locale. A big key is extra innings and streaming games. It is much easier for families to sit down with their kids and watch their favorite team, which because it is on the screen is who the kids will fall in love with. We had a rule where our kids first MLB game in person had to be at Fenway. We would go see the Lowell spinners RIP play the cyclones, but work to avoid the fate of some Sox fan friends who took their kids to seize the socks at Yankee Stadium, where a rod did something great and he decided his favorite team was the Red Sox and his favorite player was a rod, probably because of the reaction of so many people in one place. You don't know what.
