Frankie Montas

They're not, or the lower end, which is what you want.

Like the Frankie Montas is the lower end, but they're thinking, okay, well, we'll get a bargain here for two years.

Now, I could have told you it was a disaster.

We did tell you that was going to be a disaster.

If he's not willing to get uncomfortable for a two-time Cy Young Award winner, then who exactly is he waiting for? I don't want to hear about risks.

Every signing comes with one, whether it's Frankie Montas for two years, Sean Mania for three, or Juan Soto for 15.

It's the risk you take paying for someone whose better days are probably behind him.

If Skubal takes less to go to San Diego or back to Detroit, fine.

It's not like there's been Duds.

Yes, there's been Frankie Montas.

Yes, there was what happened with Peralta.

and i know there's been a number of shuttle guys that just haven't worked out and some who have gone on to other teams and come out of their bullpen but uh you know when you take a lot of projects on i feel like the expectation can't be everything works out and not every time is it the team's fault at some point whether kevin long comes in here or somebody else The hitter's got to hit.

They maybe should have been, but they spent...

Just because you pay Frankie Montas $17 million doesn't mean you're going to get a return on that investment.

The Dodgers are just a fully operational Death Star in every capacity.

Yeah, Andrew Friedman's a

Nick, he has, uh-

We're letting that Frankie Montas speak.

I r- Oh, f-

We're sipping on that Aaron S- Do you think Aaron Zavala got one? I don't think he did.

I don't know, but I bet Frankie Montas didn't either.

Eh.

Although-

All we know is the Mets tried to do it and, uh, it failed miserably.

I, I, I'd say even Frankie Montas was better value for his contract because he didn't hurt as much when he played.

And I'm saying that about a pitcher who if he had not been totally awful, the Mets probably make the playoffs.
