Yamamoto is going to the Dodgers on a 12-year, $325 million deal. The Mets made the same offer and he chose LA. He could have offered more or he could have offered the same money for 10-years. And the Yankees offered less. The Dodgers are the new evil empire. So it will be another average season for the Mets. This was a big prize for them and they missed out. Boomer thinks Yamamoto used the Mets to get to a number just to have the Dodgers match it. Steve Cohen is becoming the guy everyone uses for leverage to get more money from the team they want to play for. He’s a trampoline. Gio doesn’t think it’s the worst thing in the world for the Mets and Yankees. The Yankees added Juan Soto so they have something new headed into the season. Gio said baseball free agency is like being in college and trying to pick up women in a bar. Jerry is here for his first update and has audio from Alex Verdugo as he’s excited to be a Yankee. Derek Jeter said he didn’t have kids while he was playing because he was selfish. The Rams beat the Saints last night. Bill Cowher talked about George Pickens not blocking because he doesn’t want to get injured. Cowher said they need to put Kenny Pickens under center. Mike Kafka talked about Tommy DeVito getting ready to play Philly on Monday. The Pistons lost again, that’s now 25 in a row. In the final segment of the hour, Yamamoto is going to the Dodgers. The Mets offered the same, the Yankees offered him less, but for less years. Boomer said the Dodgers now have one of the best lineups in the history of baseball. On paper of course. The Mets have no expectations now, so maybe that’s good, considering what we had last year. Gio called Cohen & Stearns ‘The Property Brothers’, going in and working with what they got.
The Friday before Christmas is always very joyous. Peter Schwartz deleted a post on Twitter where he commented on a Jets player’s wife’s butt. He also deleted a picture of a sandwich. Yamamoto is a Dodger. Gio is comfortable with what happened. Boomer said he feels bad for Steve Cohen. He went to Japan, he hosted him for dinner in CT. He feels Cohen got played by Yamamoto. Boomer never thought he was coming to the Mets. Cohen spending all that money last year and going all in got them nothing. Jerry returns for an update and we wonder if CBS would have sent a camera crew to cover the funeral of Jerry if he was killed by the golf ball that hit him in the eye. Jerry has audio from Alex Verdugo being introduced by the Yankees and he’s happy to be here. Gio said he will be a fan favorite. The Rams beat the Saints 30-22. Jalen Hurts talked about the comments he made after last week’s game. The Pistons lost their 25th straight game. In the final segment of the hour, Al bought Gio a Fat Perez hoodie for Christmas. Chris Russo’s son, Colin, is hosting tonight from 10pm-2am. And Gallo is hosting overnight Christmas Eve into Christmas morning.
Yamamoto is going to the Dodgers as they matched the offer from the Mets and he went there instead. How do you build a winner in baseball? Strengthen a lineup or strength in pitching? We’ve seen both work. Gio said if you are going to spend that much money, it needs to be an everyday player like Juan Soto, who plays every game all season. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Alex Verdugo looking forward to what the Yankees offense will be like. The Rams beat the Saints last night. Shannon Sharpe and Ochocinco talked about getting a raccoon as a pet. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about our upcoming trip to Vegas for the Super Bowl. Gio wonders if we will get a huge snowstorm before the Super Bowl. Gio said to make sure you tip the sanitation guys this year. Also, your mail carrier.
Yamamoto is going to the Dodgers and Gio doesn’t think it’s all that bad for the Mets. The Yankees offered $300 million for ten years. The Dodgers offered $325 for 12 years. Boomer wonders if the Yankees deal had opt outs for him. If they did, then he really didn’t want to play in New York. Trevor Siemian is starting for the Jets against the Commanders and Gio called it a ‘total dull puke spot’. With us being off next week, Gio loves that he doesn’t have to pay attention to the game. Aaron Rodgers wants to give the Jets at least 2 years because of the spot he put them in with his injury this year. Gio said if Rodgers is in a uniform Sunday, he’s ‘just doing cos play’. Boomer still thinks Zach Wilson is going to the Vikings, much to Gio’s chagrin. Gio thought he was getting a job at sports radio in Los Angeles but it ended up being Pittsburgh. Gio wonders why New Yorkers don’t move to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about the gift Citarella bought us. Gio wonders if you would regift this sort of thing. Jerry starts with the sounds from last night’s Rams win over the Saints. Bill Cowher was on with Pat McAfee and talked about George Pickens not blocking because he didn’t want to get hurt. Jalen Hurts talked about his comments after the game. The Moment of The Day involves vegans being killed by a cow or chickens. In the final segment of the show, our NFL picks with Yussef!
