• 1:54
  Speaker 1: am at the Crest Hollow Country Club. We'll see you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: there now is hitting the road. Let me tell you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be a big exclusive breaking on the sports
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: side of things in Tomorrow's New York Post, because Mike
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Puma is reporting. Mets owner Steve Cohen is flying out
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: west to Wu Juan Soda as he meets with Scott
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Boris and Sodo next week. I mean, this is just
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a month before the Winter Meetings, the GM meetings already
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: taking place into San Antonio, where Boris was a star,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a toast of the town, talking about maybe even one
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the expansion of the LDS Best of seven. I mean,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: come on, how long is this postseason gonna be? I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: digress when it comes to Sodo, he's gonna play harpball.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I think he's got his claient playing hardball too. I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: think he's been in Soto's ear throughout the postseason on
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: how to message himself through every press, including that very
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: last one in which the Yankees fall faltered to the Dodgers.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: So this week is Golden Glove week. And it was
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: great to see Bernie Williams and Don manningly at the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: MLB store today and Steve Garvey was there as well,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and get a chance to meet him, but did meet
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: cal rally and rally, as you know, for the Mariners
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: hit that huge homer in Seattle, and that's a home
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: run heard around you know, major League Baseball and maybe
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: around the world in some ways, because that homer still
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: reverberates in Seattle Mariners fans and maybe MOLB fans memories
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: as well. But with this news that Steve Collen is
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: going to travel to California, this is a West Coast offense,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a literal one. Puma writes several other owners are expected
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to meet with Boris and Soto in the coming weeks.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: It's unclear of how Steinbrenner will be doing so. Yankees
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Brian GM Brian Cashman recently said it's possible was familiarity
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: with the organization might preclude a meeting. I would just
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: meet with the guy, lay out your expectations, lay out
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: his expectations. If I'm the Yankees, you only had him
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: for one year, what does he expect long term? That's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: why Cohen's going out there, not just money, but to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: talk expectations as well. So I would go with them,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the Yankees. I would go and meet with him, find
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: out their expectations. You can't judge that based on one
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: year in which yes, he had an incredible year and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: he was a culture change for the Yankee clubhouse. But
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we're talking in long term extension. If you're the Yankees,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: what's both parties going into it expecting. So I hope
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Helsteimerner and the Yankees she and Brian Cashman meet with
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: him before the Winter meetings, which is actually December eighth
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to eleventh in Texas. In Dallas. Actually the big newsnight
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: as far as sports goes, is this the Mets are
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: making a pitch so much so, Collen's traveling southern California
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to meet with Soto and his agent, And David Stearns
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: just came back from Japan with a recruiting trip with
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: eyes on the coveted pitcher Roki Sasaki. The team's president
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: baseball operations. David Sterns says Wednesday he traveled to Japan
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: in September to watch the right hander pitch and expressed
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a level of interest in him by his presence. Sosaki's
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: only twenty three, He's not been posted as eligible, but
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Stern's out there scouting. So the Mets are having a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: hardcore off season, a litteral West Coast offense to try
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and turn Yankee pinstripes into the orange and blue pinstripes
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: for Juan Soto. Will it be successful again? All of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: this amounts to what happens a month from now at
