WEBVTT - Hour 4: The Filth gives one question to Copes and D Pop 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:04.280 Live from fifty eight Social at Oracle Park. This is 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:08.960 Dirty Work with Copes and d Pop on The Sports Leader. 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:14.200 Back on Dirty Work, Adam Copeland Derek Papa live from 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.439 fifty eight Social. Get You're ready for Giants and Tigers. 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.360 They cut up with John Morosi, Bubba Morosi as I 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:22.640 call him. He catch that interview on the sports Leader 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:24.880 dot com or these sports Leader app and we started 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:27.800 the interview off by asking him, how are front offices 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.080 looking at the Giants and what they did the trade deadline. 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:32.840 Yeah, it's a great question because when you look at 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:36.720 a couple things. Number One, you're in the National League West, right, 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.800 So you've got this behemoth at the top of the 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.000 division that's going nowhere. Regardless of whatever the rules of 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.760 the game are. When we next convene with labor relations, 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.839 the Dodgers will still be the Dodgers, right. So I 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.760 think that it was the prudent approach. As hard as 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.280 it was, and I was listening to some of Buster's 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.360 comments there before the break. As hard as that decision 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.560 was to make, it was the right decision. They there 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.000 was no path for them to get into the upper 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.120 echelon of this division right now, and especially not when 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.040 you're trailing behind both the d Backs and the Podrays 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:12.280 by a considerable margin. So recognize where you're at, lean 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.199 into that a little bit, and then move the guys 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.600 that you can move without changing too much of who 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:20.000 you are. 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.160 And I think that's a fine line. But the Giants did. 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.920 ITAs obviously was getting later on in his tenure. And 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.479 by the way, that's a it's a good job by 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.440 the Giants to bring in a player that I never 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.839 understand why he's not valued more highly by the marketplace. 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.800 And then he comes in, works with Wash, gets better 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.520 and and so there's a lot of really good things 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:47.600 happening there that I hope that everybody around the industry says, 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.320 you know what, San Francisco is a good place to go. 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.520 We all know what an amazing baseball city is and 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:52.760 what a. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.960 Place it is in general, and so go go there, 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.040 work with the coaching staff there, you get better, and 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.360 and it's a place that where you can either eventually 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.720 win there or like rise, that's a good outcome. Okay, 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.160 he's he's a respected player. People people know this guy, 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.400 respect them like him. When good players who have respect 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:14.799 go to your team play well and even if they 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.280 move on, it's good for the brand, so to speak. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:18.920 And when we've talked a lot in the last few 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:20.920 years about, Okay, how many players are gonna sign with 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.520 the Giants, Well, this is a good outcome, so celebrate that. 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.840 And I think also, you didn't have to trade Logan 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.959 Web to bring back some value. Obviously you did trade Ray. 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.320 You know, we'll see how the prospects all play out. 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.760 You know, that's not my area of expertise as much 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.239 you knowing exactly what these guys all. 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:38.760 Great out and do. 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.200 But it's it seems as though, based on those that 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.640 know the prospect world better than I do, that the Giants. 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:45.040 Did pretty well here. 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.440 And and the other thing I like about the way 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.679 they've brought the organization along is when you look at 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.760 the top rankings of their farm system, a lot of 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.280 middle infielders. Okay, those are hard guys to find, and 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.160 eventually you're gonna want some youth at those positions to 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:01.240 come up in the major leagues. 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.560 And whenever a Damas's contract is up, et cetera. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.560 You want athletes, you want guys that can play the game, 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.600 and the Giants are doing a better job of developing 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.200 that I think Eldridge is taking a step. Lee is 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.800 taking a step. So if you're gonna struggle, you might 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.919 as well struggle in a year where you've got this 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.360 unbeatable team at the top of the division. You're not 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.560 like really missing a window here. You just have to 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:25.160 retrench a little bit. 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:25.720 Do that. 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.720 And then the big thing is they need Devers to 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.240 be better. Okay, they need a Domas to be better, 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.960 they need Chapman to be healthier. If you were gonna 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.160 start the year and say Devers would just be okay 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.920 by his standards, a Damas would be below average as 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.720 a major league hitter, which is what the numbers say 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.240 is and that Chatman would be hurt. I'd say they're 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.360 in trouble, and they're in trouble. And this is not 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.080 like sometimes we like to over complicate the game. Sometimes 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.320 it's real simple, like the Mariners, cal Rawley hasn't hit 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:59.360 this year. Guess what they're struggling in Toronto, Gladdie hasn't hit. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.839 I mean this is the game is both very complicated 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.280 and sometimes very simple, and and the simplicity of the 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.800 game explains a lot of what has befallen the Giants 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:12.320 and the Mariners and the Jays this season. 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.600 John Bubba Morosi on the Uma guest line, it'spent too long, 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:16.960 my friend, my old. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.840 Nickname when I was a kid. Well, well done, Derek. 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.920 But we're we're family. Your dad called me that, like, 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:22.840 like what we are family? 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.400 It's all good. I'm happy with that. 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.080 No, absolutely, John, So obviously not a true rebuild at 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.800 the deadline, but uh, buster posey there in some of 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.120 the audio we played saying that you know, we let everybody, 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.400 We let baseball know that everybody was on the table. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.120 So do you happen to know behind the scenes how 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.480 close they were maybe to dealing a Logan Web or 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.160 a Jungku Lee or any of the big time contracts, 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.559 and would they possibly revisit that in the off season. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.000 That's a great question. 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.880 I don't believe that it was close close like on 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:50.800 the five yard line. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.279 That's that's a lot of money to move. 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.320 But I will say this that the offseason I think 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:00.640 becomes very interesting. And and this is where we're kind 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.240 of playing three dimensional chess without being able to look 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:05.880 at the board right now because we don't know what 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.320 the what the rules of engagement are going to be, 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:13.760 right with with the CBA, et cetera. And so the Giants, though, 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.640 they are the kind of team that you could envision 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.480 being one that needs to maybe get their payroll into 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.239 compliance if you ever end up seeing a salary cap. 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.440 For example, Devers is making a ton of money. Okay, 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.720 Adamins is making a lot of money. Web is making money, 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.760 But I think the money for him is is good. 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.120 I like he's so important to them. He grew up 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.320 in Rockland. I don't I would not, and I don't 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.800 think that they ever really were close to moving in 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.120 because he's too important. You need you need some guys 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.160 to soak up innings that are part of the culture. 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:50.400 The Giants, by the way, I think are one of 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.200 the teams that have gotten that as well as almost 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.920 any other team throughout the years I've covered baseball. They 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.440 understand that there are there are players their fans get 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.000 used to see and want to see, and that. 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:02.800 They need to be there. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.679 And I think Logan Webb is in that category. Lee, 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.760 I'm a big Jung Holeie fan. I've watched him placency 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.760 was in Korea back in I met him in twenty nineteen. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.800 Sometime I'll if we have time in some way I'll 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.279 tell you the story about meeting him, But great guy, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.080 and I think he's really gotten more and more familiar 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.320 with Major League Baseball. At the overall situation, he looks 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.200 more and more comfortable. He's a good player for this ballpark. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.520 He's a good player for the organization. And so I 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.320 would I would not move him. 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:31.679 Now. 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.839 Would they ever attach a more attractive sort of younger 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:36.839 player to Devers? 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.840 Maybe? But then all of a sudden, you're saying. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.440 For another team, Wait a minute, you want me to 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.359 be now the third team to have him in a 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.960 span of like two years, Like what's going on here? 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.240 So I think Devers had whatever has sort of been 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.479 an issue, has to get fixed by him where he's 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:56.120 at before we start talking about additional things that have 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:57.000 to happen in the future. 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.320 John Mreszie the voice you hear on the Yumac gestline. 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:00.880 You can see him on our video stream up on the 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.600 sports Leader dot com, the app, and on on YouTube 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.839 right now. So, like things have been tough for Giants fans, 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:08.320 and I think we're all assuming it's going to be 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.200 kind of a tough, you know, last couple of months 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.440 as we get to look at some new guys and 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.200 trying to find some bright spots for the future. 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.080 I wouldn't mind. I don't think Derek would. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:16.560 If you got time, you want to tell us your 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.280 your meeting Junghuli story. 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.920 So so I interviewed him. 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.880 I was on the World Feed broadcast and basically, if 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.040 there's a tournament in the world that that I can 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.560 go broadcast, like, sign me up, I'm going. 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.000 So I worked on the world feed of the twenty 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:37.280 nineteen premiere twelve. 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:42.520 I interviewed. I interviewed Junghuli on the field. Uh and 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.400 I I and before like whenever you know, if you 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.920 know me, I love languages, so I learned how to 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.600 say congratulations and nice to meet you in Korean for 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:56.560 that particular introduction. The exact words are are not coming 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.120 to me right now, but but just trust that I 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.760 said it at the moment and I all good about it. 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.120 So I interviewed him. I congratulated him. 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.520 Of course, the story of his dad being this great player, 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.200 so I learned about him well in advance of him 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.240 coming to Major League Baseball. So this is his first 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.800 week as a Giant. They're playing the Dodgers and he's 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.480 making his debut at Dodger Stadium, and I was on 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.000 I was on the broadcast team for that game with 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:23.800 with TNT. So it was I think it was Brian 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:25.840 Anderson and Jeff Frankr and me. And so we're in 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.600 the We're in the Giants clubhouse at Dodger Stadium saying, 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:30.880 you know, you know, going about getting our notes and 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.080 having our meetings. And on the way out, I see 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.760 Jung Who again. Now this is that I hadn't seen 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:36.800 him in like three years. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:37.240 Uh. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.160 The last time I saw him was again like in 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.560 a postgame interview on the field in Tokyo. So this 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.920 is it's been a while. And so I walk up 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.440 to him, and again at this point in time, I 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.360 can like say three things in Korean, like Hello, nice 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.840 to meet you, how are you, congratulations, like the basics, 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.000 And so I I walk up to him and I say, 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.760 I think I said congratulations, nice to meet you in Korean, 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.320 and he kind of he kind of smiles, and he 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.560 pulls his interpreter over and he and the interpreter then 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.800 says to me, as relays back with Jung who said, 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.640 he said, Jung Who says, that's not correct. You met 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:15.200 him three years ago in Tokyo. I said, man, that 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.360 guy's amazing, Like it's memories, like like, guys, I am 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.400 not that memorable, trust me, and the fact that he 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.240 like he like, and he said it with a smile 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.240 like Tom Morosi, No, no, no, no, he can't use 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.960 that word again with me because because he already used 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.600 it once. You gotta dance your voca, buddy, you gotta 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.160 learn some new phrases. And it was like he was smiling, 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.160 laughing so like so every every ever since, I mean 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.240 every time I ever see him, big smile, we always 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.440 say hello back and forth like he's he's just a 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.360 delightful person and like that's one of my all time 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.080 favorite international baseball cultural connection stories. 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.280 Like no, no, no, no, no, tell him that's wrong. 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.239 He met me before. It was it was classic. 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.640 No, that's incredible talking to John Morossi on the UMA 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:56.360 Guest Line. 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.839 I saw it this morning on MLB Network rocking to 0:09:58.920 --> 0:09:59.840 my Cruco Jersey. 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:01.679 And of course we got the news yesterday that after 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.040 thirty six seasons, he's stepping away from the mic. Just 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.080 your thoughts on Mike Kruko and what he's meant to baseball. 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:11.360 Legend Hall of Famer, Uh set the standard and and 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:15.120 and this is for those of us in in the business, Okay, 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:19.440 like like for years and years and years, people that 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.800 are working broadcasting, we will stay up late to watch 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.480 the Giants games because because. 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.200 The broadcast is that great. And what makes it great? 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.720 Okay, of course it's the scene, it's the team, but 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.920 it's the voices, and it's the friendship. And and for 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:35.600 all of us that have grown up loving the game, 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.880 the magic of it is is friends talking. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:40.720 And the game is happening. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:44.080 And of course the iconic calls, uh for Kruk and Kite, 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.320 But just when you feel like you get to just 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.120 drop in on two best friends talking about the game, 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.360 and you get to and and there's that third stool 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.800 on the table and it's yours. That's the magic, right, 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.160 That's that's why we do what we do, and that's 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.440 why they're great. And that's why the two of them 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.719 are such a great duo. And I mentioned this in 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.040 the morning too, like the love and care they've got 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.360 for each other families that goes so deep in ways 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.280 that probably any of us can't really even fully understand. 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:16.120 But just the care and the kindness they've always shown 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.360 for each other and the way they represent the game 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.520 they are is they are as important to the Giants 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.120 organization and the way that those of us who get 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.080 a chance to visit San Francisco from time to time 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.360 and watch the games, they are as important or more 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.760 important than any player. I really believe that, and that 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.920 they are that important so institutions. And the thing is too, 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.240 one of the things I love about this is that 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:44.240 their greatness has been fully appreciated by the Giants fans. 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.600 This is not I am not telling you anything you 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.680 don't already know. I'm just I'm just telling you something 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.120 that that for me, a guy from a small town 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.280 in Michigan, I get it too, and and that to me, 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.560 I just I hope that everyone just has that that 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.959 satisfaction and knowing that when you've got that guy or 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.440 in this case, that the two of them together and 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.120 it's magic, like we felt that way with Ernie Harwell 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.120 and Michigan Vin Scully obviously in LA. I mean, this 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.560 is this is the mount rushmore of this profession and 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.120 this sport, and so I just want them to know 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.480 how much I appreciate the. 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:20.959 Standards they have set for us. 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.080 Any anybody that has the microphone that does anything with baseball. 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.400 They're all part of the standard that has been set 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.400 for us to try to follow. And the best way 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.160 that they've done it is that they didn't think about 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.640 their careers. It's like they've done it by being themselves, 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.680 totally authentic. They didn't learn this in a broadcast school. 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.160 They learned this in the dugout, in the clubhouse, on 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.040 the field, and it's them. And I think that's whenever 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.559 young people ask me, Okay, what do I want to 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.360 do in this business? Basically, and what Kruk and Kype 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:51.400 have shown us is be you. Be you, and and 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.560 the way they did it is so brilliant and have 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.400 done it is so brilliant. And I just hope for 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.640 obviously just the best of the best of health and 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.920 happiness to Mike and Jennifer, the whole family, and thanks 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.439 thanks to them for all they've done for us so. 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.439 Well, said John MOROSSI. With us on the Yuma guess 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:06.959 we don't have tons of time. We do have to run, 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:08.080 but dude, I said, I was going to do it 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:09.720 because I want to hear from you on this and 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.760 I'll just go big like a you know, thirty thousand 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:16.040 foot Mack review on it. How high are the expectations 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.599 for the Sharks in twenty twenty six, I cause, I 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.120 mean playoffs are the the baseline as far as I 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:21.520 can here. 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:26.720 Yes, I mean when you have arguably the best forward 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.599 in the world right now is on your team, He's 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.280 that good and that's not breaking news if you watch him. 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.640 But this is just the opinion. 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.520 I mean, McDavid is amazing, obviously, but when you look 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.400 at celebrating what he can do, he's got a contract 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.480 that proves it. And if I am buying stock in 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.880 any team for the next five to ten years in 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.880 this league, it's san Jose because it's not and and 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:51.880 again part of it is part of it is good 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:52.480 lottery luck. 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:53.720 They were they were having high. 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.320 Picks at the right times, but they've hint on the 0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:00.720 right picks. Mike Greer is really good. Warsovski's really good coach, 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.520 like they've they've got. I'm a big Dickinson fan. I've 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.760 watched him play in the Ohl here close to me 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.920 in Michigan for a while, Misa I saw playing sac 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:09.880 and all like, there's a lot of really good players 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:10.520 in this team right now. 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.440 Got I mean He's a guy that. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.320 That wasn't the most heralded when he was coming up 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.840 and has just done nothing but score and make an impact. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.720 So I'm I'm on him. I think you know. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.400 I had a chance to watch the Librini play. I 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.640 mean that was like last year. I watched him play 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.440 in person in Detroit. I was like, I gotta see 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.640 this guy. I mean, he was just so I'm I'm 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:31.480 a huge fan of what he does. Great kid too, 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.320 just everything about him. Man, I'm I'm I'm buying stock 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:34.880 in this team. 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:39.840 Okay, real quick, John, Okay, did the Dodgers put the 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.400 best offer on the table for Trek Scooball? And would 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.400 you be surprised if we have a workstopage in baseball 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:46.160 that goes longer than me? 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:47.400 Real quick? 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.080 Yes, Sorry, complicated questions. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.240 I do believe they made the best offer. It's in 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.360 the eyes of the beholder. The Brewers were really close. 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.000 I'm I'm gonna be an optimist and say that we're 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.560 playing before May. But but you're talking to an optimist here, 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.480 So this so I think in terms of what's possible, 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.560 and I'm gonna think that it's possible. That's what I 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:09.000 got for. 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:09.600 You there you go. 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.440 John Morosi, the voice you hear and you see him 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.160 on the MLB Network in the NHL Network.
