And then you got to wonder, why did David Stearns make that deal so easily?

And then, listen, if we're so interested in breaking down all the little inside stuff about, you know, Vrabel and Diana Rossini and we're trying to find out who's with who and who's doing this and all these, like, all this drama, Alex Earl and Alex Cooper, everyone loves drama.

How come no one did any more digging into the Mets' wives hating each other?

Because that's what apparently this all comes down to.

The Lindors don't get along with anyone.

That is what allegedly some are saying.

You move Nimmo, who thought he was going to be a lifelong Met, you get Marcus Simeon.

You think that's what's translating on the field?

But what happens is, then what happens is you drag your feet with Edwin Diaz, you get Devin Williams, and you almost give Edwin Diaz a...

And they give Edwin Diaz this little window of time to go shop around, essentially.

The Dodgers get him.

Then you let Pete Alonzo go as if he's some bum.

Meanwhile, Pete Alonzo was a fan favorite and a guy that was good for 40, 100 every year.

Every single year.

They dragged their feet on the year before, and he proved that he should stay on the team.

He had a monster season after they acted like they didn't even want him last year.
