They will go the extra mile.

And this is where Steve Cohen is in a situation where, okay, we felt confident we were going to get Tucker.

Here come the Dodgers, $60 million a year.

Mets, it was more like $50 million a year.

If this situation, because remember, this kind of happened with Yamamoto, and maybe money was never going to be a factor, and he was always going to go to the Dodgers.

But it happened with Yamamoto, too, where...

You have to see what L.A.

does, and you want to go $70 million a year.

Or maybe Tucker was comfortable with $60 million.

Remember, it's a four-year deal.

I don't know when the opt-out is.

Connor will get that to me, but apparently there's opt-outs in it.

So this could be a situation where Tucker said, you know what, I'll play two years in L.A., I'll make $60 million a year, I'll get to hang out in Los Angeles, and then after that I'll make a decision on what I want to do for the rest of my 30s.

So now if you're the Yankees, if you're the Mets, you have to figure out how to beat and to throw in the Dodgers.

Because again, everybody is in competition with them.

Everybody, not just the National League, everyone.

And that includes the Yankees and all the American League teams.

So you could go down one road, which is to complain about it, or you could figure out a way to beat them.

Yeah, but hold on, though.

Guys like that.
