00:02 - A lot of pitchers and catchers and draftees
00:08 have reported to camp and spring training
00:11 is about to lift off, if you will.
00:14 But I am stunned, I really am,
00:18 that Snell, Bellinger, Montgomery, and Chapman
00:23 have not signed deals.
00:27 Why is that happening?
00:29 Now, I guess I heard that this guy, Montgomery,
00:33 Jordan Montgomery, that he wins the World Series,
00:36 and then I heard some rumblings about their new TV deal
00:41 has made 'em lose a lot of money,
00:44 and they don't wanna spend any more money.
00:47 Are you kidding me?
00:48 They're gonna let this guy leave Texas?
00:51 They must only like that one ring,
00:53 because I think that's a mistake.
00:55 And I mean, if I'm Boston, I'm licking my chops
00:59 at an opportunity to get their hands on that guy.
01:01 And if I were the Yankees,
01:02 I'd be begging him to come back to the Bronx.
01:05 - I mean, yeah, I think you're right.
01:09 I find it very strange that he's not signed,
01:11 because it feels like Jordan Montgomery
01:14 is maybe not the caliber of player
01:16 who should be sitting and waiting to maximize,
01:19 you know, like, I need to sit at the top of the market.
01:22 You know, maybe that's not a very labor-friendly take of me,
01:25 but it feels like Jordan Montgomery
01:27 has kind of been the caliber of starting pitcher
01:29 for Major League Baseball.
01:29 It's like, yeah, I got a good contract offer,
01:32 fair for what I produced.
01:34 I should take it.
01:35 It'd make more sense to me why Blake Snell is not signed,
01:38 if Blake Snell feels that he's getting low-balled.
01:41 But then on the contrary, like on the other side of that,
01:43 you'd say, if I'm a serious Major League Baseball team
01:46 that wants to win games, why have I not reached out?
01:50 Why am I not the team that's signing Blake Snell?
