And he didn't go to Philly.

I had to take that arrogant call an hour ago saying no one wants to play for the Mets.

And my response was, wait a second.

No one wants to play for the Mets if they're competing with the Dodgers.

But do you want to play for the Mets if you're competing with Philadelphia?

And clearly the answer is, yeah.

Bo Bichette couldn't wait to get out of that stupid city.

He couldn't wait.

It's interesting for Bo Bichette because he's young.

He obviously, or at least his agent is advising him about what's been happening in New York.

That is some stalwart core pieces of the organization are no longer there.

And so there is a void that is just created.

and at 27 years old, you come in, you play to your level, then you can become a star very quickly here because it's Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, and then who else?

A bunch of young guys.

Look, you have high hopes for them.

Beatty and Francisco Alvarez and maybe even Vientos as a DH or whatever.

There's hope, but those guys are young and not proven.

You're proven.

You could come and make a real name for yourself here.

And then if it works and they don't want to pay you, you go get paid someplace else at 30.
