So to do this... So why would he do this then?

That's where you could argue it's a little level of panic.

Even though I agree.

It's a little level of panic and it's appeasing the fan base in some capacity.

Because it's not the best deal for the Mets.

I mean, he's a great, potentially great player, Bo Bichette.

And obviously it creates...

positional question marks, but he's a really good player and he has a chance to be fantastic.

But if he opts out and leaves you and let's say you win 86 games this year and don't make the playoffs or do make the playoffs and crash out after the wild card, then ultimately, was it worth it?

You know what's tough about a question like that?

Carlos Beltran's about to get elected to the Hall of Fame.

The Mets signed him to a mega contract.

He played basically all of that contract until they traded him at the very end.

They made one postseason, had multiple collapses, and he struck out in the seventh game of the NLCS.

Was it a good contract, Tiki?

Do you know what I'm saying?

It's complicated.

What was the total number of years?

7-1-10, I think.

How many did he play?
