"2040. That's his draft class," May said. "Within 30 minutes of him being in this world, I said to my wife, "What do you think the first-round slot money is going to be in the 2040 draft?"

"She'd be like, "C'mon! "But that's exactly the reaction I wanted," he laughed.

May had announced his retiremnt from baseball in 2023 online through Twitch. He later spoke negatively about Athletics onwer John Fisher and his plans to reocate the franchise to Las Vegas.

"A guy who can contend for every year, and home run threats," he said regarding Juan Soto. "It's a deep lineup."
