Yeah.

It's only...

In some ways, I could defend Woody in saying, Aaron, we hired you because of your defensive acumen.

And let's face it, you screwed it up in year one.

You let Steve Wilks do whatever he wanted to do, even though you probably disagreed with it.

And the team suffered because of it.

Yes.

Here's why, though, and Steve Cohen said this the other day.

This is why I really like Steve Cohen as an owner, despite me disagreeing strongly with some of the decisions the Mets have made.

What I want from an owner, and I am so consistent, even when I don't like it, is I want an owner to spend a lot of money and let the people they hired make their own decisions.

Steve Cohen clearly does that.

Now, that...

annoyed a guy like Joe who said, hey, get involved on Alonzo.

Get involved.

I want him to let his baseball people make decisions.

And I believe he does.

Juan Soto isn't here just because of Steve Cohen.

David Stearns wanted Juan Soto.

And I heard Steve say this the other day at his press conference.

Like, look, I hired the right people.
