Listen, if someone offered me $60 million a year for the next four years to do my job, I'm probably taking that offer.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Dodgers Sign Kyle Tucker & Mets Pivot To Bo Bichette

No doubt.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Dodgers Sign Kyle Tucker & Mets Pivot To Bo Bichette

That's the business aspect.

West Coast Bias: Dodgers Sign Kyle Tucker & Mets Pivot To Bo Bichette

But then you throw in that where that offer is coming from is it's the best in the business and you don't have to really think about the culture.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Dodgers Sign Kyle Tucker & Mets Pivot To Bo Bichette

You don't have to think about the resources that are there.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Dodgers Sign Kyle Tucker & Mets Pivot To Bo Bichette

everything that comes with it, it's a no-brainer.

I'm probably going to walk away with a ring in those first two years, given where everything is at.

And I think that was unfair.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Dodgers Sign Kyle Tucker & Mets Pivot To Bo Bichette

Because I think ultimately those were business decisions by both sides, the player and by the team.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Dodgers Sign Kyle Tucker & Mets Pivot To Bo Bichette

Yep.
