Here is a monopoly Q & A with Sportslens.
Q: What do you think of the Juan Soto signature as a manager with a lot of experience in the subway series?
Barbie Valentine: “Ichiro and A-Rod, and the shaking of Mets and Mets, I think they’ve won a lot of victory and captivated a lot for the fans. I think it is what Mets needs to hit this out of the park. I love him as a batter and like Steve Cohen and Dave (Stearns). ”
Q: Now you are mostly based on the west coast. What do you think about the Dodgers’ aggression this winter?
Barbie Valentine: “Nominable.”
Q: Is it ridiculous in a good or bad way?
Barbie Valentine: “I think it’s a bad way. I know the people there, know the owner, know the front office, know what they are doing, and basically advise the general manager to the market. It is a super team. It is different from most other teams. And I know that we are working with Mets. We are trying to maintain speed. But I think it’s difficult. ”
Q: Can DODGERS’s spending on the expiration of the CBA in 2026?
Barbie Valentine: “There will be a strike. It depends on how long and for any reason. There’s a problem with the major league baseball, so the CBA will have a problem. ”
Q: What do you think of your thoughts about Ichiro Suzuki?
Barbie Valentine: “One of the biggest regrets as Mets Manager is that we didn’t say, ‘If we don’t sign him, we will walk out.’ I thought we would sign him. Someone thought differently. I lived in Japan the first year in Japan, and we basically decided not to go with him in the report given by someone else. And I couldn’t figure it out. I heard, ‘Why do you want a single hitter in the outfield?’
Q: It’s okay.
Barbie Valentine: “For him!”
Q: Ichiro has gained the newcomer of the year this year’s Hall of Fame on Hideo Nom’s 30th anniversary. What is the impact of Japanese players on major league baseball?
Barbie Valentine: “It was the same year as I went to Japan, and Nomo came here. I tried to make a statement. I took a child who could not make a pitcher of Yomiuri Giants and took a staff called Kashiwada (1997) Takashi Kashiwada (1997) and he won the big league in the big league! And sometimes he pitched OK. In order to prove the point, a person who cannot create a team can create a team here, and that it is not a more equal stadium.
“I don’t think all Japanese players want to play in the United States. Why do you want to interfere with the whole world? For more money? I think that Japan’s work eventually changes the model and brings salary. They are currently building new stadiums for more profits, etcetera and etcetera to maintain players. And if they leave the players there, they will eventually expand to Asia with baseball departments. That was my thought and my thoughts for a long time. And I think that major league baseball has decided to do so because they didn’t think about it.
“And the way they do is how the major league baseball has been with the NEGRO League. They took the best players and took other players. If that happens, the league is folded. And in Japan, baseball is the No. 1 sport in that country, so I don’t want it to happen in Japan. And it would be a crime to take the professional league from them. ”
