I mean, we looked at it last year.

Realistically, out of 30 teams in Major League Baseball, five were legitimately out of a playoff race.

So you want to enter that pool?

Where you have one of the great advantages in baseball where you're the Yankees and you have money to go out and spend and you only have to really compete with the Mets or Dodgers on that level?

And the Mets or Dodgers are not really in on the guy that you want in Cody Bellinger?

Because like I said, people got twisted when they said, oh, Kyle Schwarber's older.

He only got five.

When I said he only got five.

And when I said Bregman only got five years.

Well, they got five years.

Those were the maximum contracts handed out.

Pete and Cody are the same age.

He got five years.

Guys that are younger and better and Bichette and Tucker didn't even get five years.

And Bellinger's holding out for seven?

So the Mets want him, but they don't want him at five.

They don't even want him at five.

So what are you going to do, jack up the AAV, pay him $40, $45 million a year for two or three years just to get him away from the Yankees and get him here?

Well, then, like I said, Cody, you're an asshole because it was never about seven years.

It's a ridiculous, it's absolutely ridiculous how this all season has played out.
