But what is that affecting Mets?

I don't care about the $5 million bonus.

What I care about is do you have an issue with the fact that he can opt out after one year?

That you're paying the guy and you're getting... Yes, I do.

Okay.

I do.

Yeah, I liked it better when it was three years.

100%.

And two would be fine.

But I still have to ask the question, is this Mets team...

well-positioned enough to be doing a one-year deal with boba shit meaning we're gonna win it this year and boba chef is helping us doing it like the yankees did with juan soto right it was worth it right one year deal let's get juan soto we got to the world series now we stunk and it was what it is but we got to where we wanted to go are the mets doing that with boba i think they're trying to make the playoffs they're clearly not as good as the dodgers but if they make the playoff sure anything can happen we talk about that all the time

Look.

That's a weird opt-out.

I like the move because they needed the player, and it's a player I wanted.

I would have loved it more if there weren't opt-outs.

I'll be perfectly honest with you.

But they got the player.

And to get a player on a short-term deal like this, you have to make concessions that seem absurd.

Like paying a guy $42 million a year who's not worth $42 million a year.

Or throwing in $5 million opt-out bonuses.
