They've done nothing.
They continue to do nothing.
And when they went to get Trent Grisham and they had to pay him $22 million, that basically took up every cent that they were going to have to spend.
And Hal said, and Brian Cash has told us this how many times, Hal told him this is the number we have to stick at.
So it's essentially like a salary cap.
But then you have Steve Cohen to one degree going over that CBT tax.
And then you have the Dodgers who don't give two craps about it.
I think if you matched what the Dodgers did, they would have gone further.
And even if they didn't go further, Kyle Tucker probably would have chosen them over the Mets anyway.
Because the Dodgers are just โ I mean, at some point, someone's going to stop.
And Steve Cohen stopped at 55, and the Dodgers went up to 60.
Well, the Mets offered, at least for AAV, more for Kyle Tucker than they did for Juan Soto.
Yeah, but don't you think, though, that...
If they limit teams like the Dodgers, the Mets, and I don't even know if you can put the Yankees in there anymore, but the Dodgers and the Mets, the players are going to balk at that because if there's a salary cap you can't go over, like the competitive balance act is a soft cap, but if it's a salary cap you can't go over, then Kyle Tucker's not getting that money.
If Juan Soto, there's a salary cap you can't go over, maybe Juan Soto isn't getting that money.
So if I'm the players and I'm thinking, you have a hard cap,
then these contracts are going to go away.
I know, but that's my point.
The players are not going to agree to this.
Yeah, but you said they're not really involved.
