But I'm also gonna be like, go get your championship.

This is something that stays with you for the rest of your life.

And I think people who judge players for, one, getting as much money as possible, or two, going to a place where they can win a ring, are not thinking in practical terms, going back to your point, that these are human beings.

You want to reach the pinnacle of your sport.

You want to set up your family for success.

You only have so much time where you can make money.

Go and do it.

I think there might be a misperception of how that relationship works.

I don't think Stearns wants anyone to know his plan.

I don't even think Stearns wants his players or the people who are under him necessarily to know his plan.

There is this idea that, you know, Cohen is behind the scenes calling all the shots.

I don't know if that's accurate.

I think Cohen has made his billings.

He runs the Mets very similarly to the way that he runs his company.

He puts people he trusts in position to make their decisions because micromanaging can sometimes harm an organization.

And he hired these people for a reason.

It's to make those decisions.

That being said, you can make those decisions to a certain point and then Cohen decides

Hey, I gave you a shot.

I didn't meddle.
