Do you trade the farm?

And now it's up to David Stearns to essentially be like, OK, so I had all this trust.

You guys gave me all this trust after 2024.

After 2025, that trust is basically gone.

But now I'm going to have to ask you to trust me again.

So it's going to be very interesting to see how this pans out.

All right.

So, I mean, I don't have anything solid because I'm not in Edwin Diaz's brain and I'm not in those back rooms, but I do have my hypotheses and I do have, you know, things that I've heard.

I staunchly believe that Edwin Diaz wanted to return to the Mets.

I genuinely think he liked it there.

I think he had a lot of friends there.

He was well-liked there.

They were good to his family.

There are so many reasons for wanting to go back to the Mets.

The Mets show, bring this deal.

It's $66 million, a few minor deferrals.

Goes back, Dodgers offer him 69.

That is not enough money to uproot your family, to be like, absolutely not.

If you want to stay for the Mets for $3 million, you stay with the Mets.

for like, and you say, whatever it's, it, it's us.
