00:00Was you've had your chance. I think you got you know what I'm worth
00:03Like I don't think this year really changed anything with Alex Cora other than Alex Cora
00:08maybe wanting to be here and
00:11That's where I think the questions kind of lie at 6 1 7 7 7 9 7 9 3 7 is
00:18Cores re-signing about they gave him the money and he took it. It was just like man. I'm comfortable here
00:24There's a ton of dough
00:26They've given me more than I thought. Maybe I should jump on this is
00:30Did did Cora sign in part because they gave him the money, but they also gave him an assurance that they're gonna add to the team
00:36or is
00:38This the way to deflect from what's going to be a disappointing trade deadline next week
00:42I think all the options are there but to me
00:46This is about Cora and then the Red Sox were like we'll pay you big dough relative to his position
00:52He had to listen to me. No, no
00:56Okay
00:57I didn't think the Red Sox would go more than maybe six million a year and with the way it was going
01:03I kind of thought they were gonna let him go to free agency and kind of you know
01:07Sort of quote-unquote see what happened because I'm convinced to a moral certainty
01:11Well, what's going on with slappy boon down there if Cora were available?
01:17The Yankees would have been all over this guy
01:19There was they're gonna be tons of opportunities and they knew it and they're also thinking about if he's not coaching then who?
01:28Honest to God then who I don't think veritech veritech would take the job for a million dollars
01:34Yeah, okay again, but I don't think he'd be better than Cora. Oh, I
01:37Agree, I don't think so. So I think but it would have been you know settling for their guy all that kind of stuff when
01:45Me to me. This is just another example of the whole like a don't talk to me
01:49You know during the season about the contract, you know, so if somebody comes up to say we've reconsidered
01:55we have a we want to give you a massive pay upgrade and
01:59With multiple years. No, no, no. No, I don't wait. Wait till later. I told you I'm a man of my word
02:05You know what?
02:05I don't want to talk and you know what and it worked for him because as this team started winning and
02:11The front office either started believing or were like clearly this is the right guy for the job
02:16Then they go to the guy and they throw the you know
02:19The the ton of money at him relative to his position and there you go
