It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo coming to you live. The Bill Ford Tough Studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Got a little tip yesterday that our buddy Phil Sims was on a plane traveling somewhere. I got that same tip, and I was supposed to be on that trip, but I wouldn't leave you. You were supposed to be on that trip? Yeah. To Jacksonville? Yes. I had an opportunity to play TPC today. Oh. And Phil's going to go down there and play? Well, I don't think he's playing, but we were going down there together to do something together. Oh, okay. Because everybody likes us together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But unfortunately, I couldn't make it because we have something today, this afternoon.
That's right. Well, you have something today. Well, you're going to be there with me. I'm going to be there, but it's all about you, as it should be. Yeah, but I'm just saying that it was just – A conflict. I couldn't make it. Oh, okay. So you got a text from the same person I got a text from? I did, yes. Oh, really? Okay. I just said, whatever you do, don't tell Phil Simms I said hi.
Oh, okay.
Don't do that. All right, yeah, I thought I had some information. I thought I had something good there. Meanwhile, you had even more information than I had. I could have played TPC today right now. Instead, I'm here with you. Well, that's good. But you're also getting honored a little bit later.
Yes.
So that's a good thing. Yes. That's really the reason why you're here. I mean, you would be taking a Wednesday off if you weren't getting honored, right? That's true. Well, no, not necessarily. I mean, I could have. I could have went down there. That would have been nice. But then you would have missed your whole thing. Oh, yeah. I know. I couldn't do it. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes. What is it? What's going on down there? Is it some sort of celebrity pro-am thing? No, it's not a celebrity pro-am thing. It's a corporate outing. Oh, okay. Excuse me. All right. Very good. How do I get in on these corporate outings? Just keep hanging around with me, and I'll drag you along to a couple. And I have dragged you along to a few. Yeah, that is very true. You got a generator out of one of them. I certainly did. Yeah, that generator is something else. I love just looking at that thing. Sometimes I open it up and just look inside and spit. Grab my junk, scratch it. Anything that would make me feel more like a man. By the way, yesterday, some John Heyman stuff out there that I know you love. Could be...
might be on the way to seems like, all that stuff. But the Mets, David Stearns and Steve Cohen, apparently are offering Kyle Tucker, the top available free agent left in this class. What about Bellinger? I think Kyle Tucker still is looked at as... A little bit better? Yeah. Younger, too, I think. So $50 million a year on a shorter-term contract. So what's going on is apparently... How long is the contract? What's that? How long is the contract? Is it three years? I think it would probably be no more than four. That's what I would think. Okay. But we don't know. It was just $50 million a year on a shorter-term contract. So the three teams that are left in the Kyle Tucker negotiations apparently are the Dodgers, the Mets, and the Blue Jays.
And everybody goes to the Dodgers. We know that. They're always a threat. The Mets don't want to be locked in for years and years and years with Kyle Tucker, so they're figuring we'll pay him a whole bunch of money and then keep the length down of the contract. And I guess the Blue Jays, after hearing the Met offer, are now going to longer term for Kyle Tucker. So now this gives you a little bit of insight into what the Mets plan is. But what's interesting to me is it's almost as if Never was Kyle Tucker really discussed for the New York Mets until you had the Met fan base freaking out. Alonzo obviously signs elsewhere, but they were planning for that because they didn't really even try to keep him.
But was this an original part of the David Stearns plan? to go out and sign Kyle Tucker, or is the fact that he's still out there, there's only a couple of teams that are involved, and the fan base is losing their mind and their season tickets being canceled all over the place because the Met fans' favorite players are going to be playing elsewhere next year, and Steve Cohen's like, hey, man, I'm getting killed here.
