Alright, so listen up, y’all. I heard some talk about this Frankie Montas fella and some kinda contract thing. Sounds like a big deal, so let me tell ya what I gathered, the way I understand it, ya know?
Frankie Montas, the Pitcher Man
First off, this Frankie, he’s a pitcher. That means he throws the ball real hard in baseball games. Apparently, he throws it real, real hard, like almost a hundred miles an hour! Can you believe that? My old arm could never do nothin’ like that. Anyways, he used to play for some other teams, but now he’s gonna be playin’ for the Mets. That’s a New York team, I think. Big city, lots of folks watchin’.
The Money Talk – Big Bucks!
Now, the real juicy part is the money, ain’t it always? They say this Frankie fella signed a contract for two years. That means he’s gotta play for the Mets for two years, unless somethin’ crazy happens. And guess how much money they’re givin’ him? Thirty-four million dollars! Thirty-four million! That’s more money than I ever seen in my whole life, and probably more than my whole family’s seen put together! They say he’s gettin’ seventeen million each year. Seventeen million just to throw a ball around! Must be nice.
- Two years playin’ for the Mets.
- Thirty-four million dollars total. That’s a whole lotta dough!
- Seventeen million dollars a year. More money than you can shake a stick at.
That Opt-Out Thingamajig
But wait, there’s more! They said somethin’ about an “opt-out.” Sounds fancy, huh? Well, from what I can tell, it means Frankie can choose to leave after the first year if he wants. Like, if he thinks he can get even MORE money from another team, he can just up and leave. Smart fella, this Frankie. Always lookin’ out for himself, just like my ol’ man used to say, “Watch out for number one!”
Frankie’s Pitchin’ – The Good and the Bad
Now, I ain’t no baseball expert, but I heard some folks sayin’ Frankie’s been pitchin’ alright, but not great. They said his “ERA” was somethin’ like 4.84 last year. Don’t ask me what that means, but sounds like it could be better. But they also said he throws hard and got different kinds of pitches. So maybe he just needs a little luck, or maybe the Mets know somethin’ we don’t. Maybe they think they can help him get better. Who knows?
Mets Need a Pitcher, That’s for Sure
One thing’s for sure, the Mets, they need pitchers. I heard their team is kinda beat up, lots of injuries or somethin’. So, they’re probably hopin’ Frankie can come in and be a star for ’em. Hope he does good for ’em, seein’ as they’re payin’ him all that money. It’d be a shame to waste all that cash, wouldn’t it?
In a Nutshell…
So, to sum it all up, this Frankie Montas fella signed a big ol’ contract with the Mets for two years and a whole lotta money. He can leave after one year if he wants, and the Mets are hopin’ he pitches real good for ’em. That’s about the size of it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about millions of dollars is makin’ me hungry!
Just My Two Cents
You know, it’s a lot of money for throwin’ a ball. But hey, if they’re willin’ to pay it, and he’s willin’ to throw it, then good for ’em. That’s what I always say. Live and let live, and if you can make a few million dollars along the way, well, that’s just gravy, ain’t it?
Frankie’s Got Choices
The way I see it, Frankie’s got himself a good deal. He gets paid a boatload of money, and he’s got options. If he pitches good, he can stay and make even more. If he doesn’t, or if he thinks he can get a better deal somewhere else, he can just up and leave. It’s a win-win for him, really. As for the Mets, well, they’re takin’ a gamble, but I guess that’s just the way things go in the big leagues.
Folks are Talkin’
And let me tell you, the folks around here, they are buzzin’ about this. Thirty-four million dollars! It’s the talk of the town, or at least the talk at the general store. Everyone’s got an opinion, even if they don’t know a baseball from a watermelon. But that’s half the fun, ain’t it? Gives us somethin’ to jaw about.
