WEBVTT - Giants Trade Deadline Fallout: Blade Tidwell Debut, Logan Webb and the Team’s Future 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.880 Now back to murphin Markets on the Sports Leader streaming 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:10.040 live on visports leader dot com at knbr V Sports 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:10.920 Leader app. 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:16.960 I thought he settled in and he pitched really well. 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:20.320 It's it is two different mentalities. Those guys can speak 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.520 to it more intelligently than I can. But he's been 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:27.200 a little bit of both reliever and the true bulldog 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.160 comes out in him when he's got, you know, three 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.000 outs to go get as opposed of a runway of 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.440 maybe one hundred pitches. And to me, it was a 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.120 good mix. As the game went on, of he looked 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.240 like he was attacking and he had his intensity, but 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.760 he's also pitching really well. And then even towards the 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:44.159 end there where he's able to get out of some 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.520 damage against really good or prevent damage against some really 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.880 good hitters. He was kind of truly pitching a good 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:52.319 mix and good spotting up. 0:00:54.160 --> 0:01:00.280 The voice a former Tennessee head baseball coach Tony Vaidel Little, 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.680 current skipper of the San Francisco Giant and the skipper 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.240 of our next guest, Blade Tidwell, who made his first 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.960 start as a member of the San Francisco Giants last 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.640 night out in Texas, taking some time out of his 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.640 schedule this morning. On the UMA Guest Line, Blade, want 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.440 to say good morning, Welcome to the Murph and Markey Show. 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.679 I'm Marcus Bouchet. John Dickinson is my partner this morning. 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.959 How are we doing today? Blade? 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:28.080 Oop? 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:28.840 Take two? 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:29.279 Blade? 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:29.840 What's going on? 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:30.120 Brother? 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:31.880 You with us this morning? 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:33.920 Yeah? Can you hear me? 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.200 Yes, sir, we got you loud and clear. Blade Tidwell. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.880 On the UMA guest Line, how you feeling this morning 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.279 after making your first start as a San Francisco Giant. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.399 I know that you've had starts before in the big 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.759 leagues with the New York Mets, but last night first 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.120 time doing it in a Giants uniform after starting the 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:54.680 season in the bullpen. Your takeaways from last night's game, Blade, Yeah, I. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.360 Thought it went well overall. I did a good job 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.840 battling After that first inning. I came out a little 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:04.360 bit shaky, which was not good for anybody. Kind of 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.520 costs the bullpen having to go out there and throw 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:10.000 four innings so they couldn't make it through six. But overall, 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:10.960 I'll take it. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:16.639 What are the keys to adjusting when things get off 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.200 to a start that you know in the first inning, 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.480 that that, you know, maybe you don't like to to 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.440 sort of hold it together as you were able to 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:24.400 do their moving. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:29.080 Forward, just come back in and kind of mentally reset. 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.880 I feel like, go out there and take it three 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.519 outs of the time as opposed to trying to. You're 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.320 not going to get those runs you gave up back, 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.480 so just make do with what you got. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.320 Well, Blade, talk to us about the mentality going to 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.000 this game after starting off the season in the bullpen, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.960 going back down to trip away, stretching out, then coming 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.880 back as a starter. I know that's your first start 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.720 as a member in the Giants organization. It's also the 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.400 first time you've started for Tony Vatello and Frank Anderson 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.519 since your days at Tennessee. Was there maybe a feeling 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.760 of comfort or familiarity going back into the duga after 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.560 the first inning, being able to talk to Tony. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.960 Yeah, it's kind of surreal. You know, that's where I 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:15.400 started playing competitive baseball was at Tennessee, not including high school. 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.320 So it's a surreal moment to be in the major 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.519 leagues and playing for those guys again, and it does 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:22.800 provide you with some comfort. 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.480 Yeah, what were some of those pregame conversations like with 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.960 Tony Vitello and Frank Anderson one of your pitching coaches, 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.359 to guys that you're very familiar with, does it kind 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.200 of cool you down and maybe ease you into the 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:33.000 moment a little bit. 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.240 I actually don't talk a whole lot on the day 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.120 I've pitched, so there wasn't a whole lot of conversations. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:45.560 Go what what's the biggest adjustment in terms of going 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:50.640 from being a reliever to being a starter, you know, 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.840 in terms of whether it's pitch selection or repertoire or 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.440 building your arm back up, or you know, how have 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.600 you sort of navigated that this year? 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.440 It's all been new to me because I've never really 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:04.680 relieved until this year. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:16.040 So sounds like Blade might have dropped out for a 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.320 quick second. We will reconnect on the UMA guest line 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.839 see if John Joe Curley can make the connection with 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.799 Walter scrambling behind the scenes, throwing down some signs. Feels 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.320 like the PitchCom has gone out for a pitch or 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.159 two here as we try to reconnect with Blade, tedwell, 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.360 but Blade tell us about some of those differences, the 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.360 mentality versus being a bullpen arm versus coming into the 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:37.040 starting rotation. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.120 Yeah, they're a little bit different. It's new ground for me. 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:46.040 I never relieved until this year. But going out there 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.279 in the bullpen, you know, you're only gonna have a 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.240 limited amount of pitches, so you can kind of let 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:54.239 it all eat starter. You have to be a little 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.520 bit more precise, think a little bit more, you know, 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.159 and it's just a different There are two different things, 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.320 and I enjoyed doing both. 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:08.320 Actually, yeah, two totally different approaches in two different ways. 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:09.720 That you got to get ready for a game. When 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.279 you're in the bullpen, you got to get up and 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:11.839 get hot. 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:12.080 Talk. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.680 Take us through your game day routine. How do you 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.200 like to prep for a start? Blade? 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.320 Uh, usually get to the field and eat and then 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:22.880 I put my headphone. 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.000 Sounds like those headphones might have dropped off once again. 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.600 Let's see if we can make this connection. J D. 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.039 If you had to pitch a game, what would be 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:37.159 your pre game mil? 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:37.480 Well? 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.120 Are you are you a PEB and J kind of guy? 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.040 Load up on pasta, litt up on some carbs. 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.440 I am always on a high carb diet, so that 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:44.440 would not change. 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.480 That would not change if I were a professional athlete 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.719 at a at a pitcher, I would also be a 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:50.640 don't talk. 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:50.920 To be guy. 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:51.600 Yeah. 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.520 Yeah, it seems like you definitely want to zone out 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.479 a little bit those guys that are don't talk to 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.920 me guys. Yeah, well, we'll talk to us about some 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.640 of that mentality when you're on the bump. Is it 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.359 more of a I'm just here to attack the zone. 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.520 I don't care who's standing in the box. Why do 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:08.440 you think you have that mentality where you do want 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:12.040 to be kind of left on an island on game day? Yeah? 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.520 I try to balance it, you know, because I can 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.880 be a little bit over aggressive at times, so I 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.880 actually have to think through a little bit like what 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.119 pitch did I just throw? How did the hitter react 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.320 to that? But overall, I do would want to be 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.840 on the hunt every pitch, attack and the hitter. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:32.800 What's different about the pitching philosophy overall with the Giants 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:37.120 maybe versus you know, the Mets organization versus maybe the 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.000 way things were at Tennessee even under Tony Vitello. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.520 Well, I really didn't know a whole lot about baseball 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.120 when I was at Tennessee, so I was just out 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:50.839 there competing. And then now obviously I know a lot. 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.560 Blade Tidwell is the voicy here this morning, in and 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.520 out on the connection on the Umaga line. We'll try 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.840 to connect one more time with Blade, as he is 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.160 kind enough to give us a few minutes out in 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:10.360 Texas this morning, talking about some of those differences between 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.800 pitching out of the bullpen, pitching and the starting rotation, 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.400 and the difference between pitching in different locations. To your point, 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.760 JD pitching at Tennessee, pitching for the New York Mets, 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.440 and then last year, almost a year ago to the day, 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:26.160 comes over in the Tyler Rogers trade. Blade, I think 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.320 we have you back on the UMA guess on this morning. 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.840 We were just talking about how it's nearly a one 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.560 year anniversary since you were traded from the New York 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.400 Mets to the San Francisco Giants last year. 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:37.120 Take us through that experience. 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.720 What was like for you to be traded in your 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.840 film one year later out from the trade deadline. 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:44.040 It was. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.520 Kind of wild, but the Giants did a great job 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.320 of making me feel comfortable from the get go, and 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.320 they actually gave me an extra day to get to 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.200 the affiliate, so they made the transition. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.640 Blade, I appreciate you coming on with this morning sounds 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.920 like Randam's connection issues. Maybe we'll take a rain check 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.360 on this one, man. I wanted to get a full 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.200 breakdown of Blade Tidwell's pitching. Arsenal went five innings last night, 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.280 did not get the win as the Giants battled back 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.080 multiple times in last night's game. I think there were 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.000 some real flashes in last night's game, some really good 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.040 moments for guys like Basab hitting another home run, Bryce 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.560 Odridge coming off the bench. Blade Tidwell was one of 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:27.720 those standouts from last night. 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:28.040 JD. 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.840 Yeah, and somebody that's going to have an opportunity right 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.800 at the top of the list with a few spots 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.640 in the rotation currently open for twenty twenty seven. And 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.760 I you know, we talked about it with Kruco. Just 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.920 the way that he battled and kind of laid it 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.600 all out despite the game not getting off to maybe 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.760 the start that he wanted, I think was impressive. And 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.000 I think, you know, he's somebody that you definitely want 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:53.679 to see more from here as. 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.040 We move toward the end of the year. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.439 Yeah, a guy that can battle through a little adversity 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.800 like trying to make a connection on the Martron Market 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.640 Show this morning, Man, Walter, I had some good questions 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.480 lined up too. Fun fact, did you know that Blade's 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:10.400 real name is actually Jansen spelt j A n z 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.000 E N. I gotta get the origin story. But sounds 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:15.920 like we don't have the connection anywhere, Walter, do we. 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:16.760 No, we don't. 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.360 Yeah, we're we're gonna have the reschedule that. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:19.679 Ah. 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.440 Well, I apologize for the inconvenience, but once again, thank 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.400 you for Blade for taking a few minutes out of 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.559 your schedule. I'm sure he's gonna be a pretty busy 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:27.600 guy over the next couple of weeks. 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:27.800 Two. 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:32.400 Middle name Blade, Yeah, middle name Blade, first name Jansen. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.439 I don't think that's a great I don't think I've 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.400 ever met a Jansen in my life. Before you ever 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:42.320 met a Blade. No, but at least I've seen a 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.199 movie that was titled Blade. More familiar. But that's a 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.440 pretty cool nickname. It is one Now, I don't know 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.720 bal me Blazer. No, that's a different scene, that's a 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.000 different reference.

Sounded like he was a bit disappointed that 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.440 he did not get to the sixth inning and had 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.200 to put a little extra pressure on the Giants bullpen, 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.720 a Giants bullpen that kept him in this game until, 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.400 of course, they were walked off in the ninth inning. 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:20.240 But overall, big picture, I think Blade Tidwell's performance yesterday 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.360 and the openings in the rotation after the trade deadline 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.679 shows us that we're going to see a few more 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.520 opportunities down the road for Blade didwell. 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.880 I think you could see from the way that he 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:33.880 pitched last night why the Giants like him in terms 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.240 of his makeup, and I think in the short time 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:38.800 that we were able to talk to him, I think 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.880 you could tell he does fit the mold of that 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:49.839 more serious, focused, wants to hone in and be a bulldog, 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.600 you know, get deep in the game type of a 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:56.920 pitcher that, again the Giants want, led by Logan Webb, 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.400 to be a part of their future pitching da as 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.840 they look to kind of revamp the whole pitching within 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:08.240 the organization and have done that here over the last month. 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.959 Really yeah, and we'll see how big of a part 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.360 of the plan he is moving forward and part of 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.000 the bus or posey plan. Because, for those of you 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.880 who are not aware, Blade Tidwell, as we talked about, 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.440 was traded over nearly a year ago from the New 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.600 York Mets in the Tyler Rogers trade. So as we're 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.160 sitting here kind of recapping all the pitching prospects that 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.400 the Giants just got earlier this week, this is a 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.160 guy that you can't forget about, a guy that's going 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.280 to get an opportunity, regardless if it's in the starting rotation, 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.200 maybe even as a bullpen arm. This is a guy 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.840 that got his first save of his career in his 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.840 first appearance by the Giants this year, had that rare 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.320 three inning save, showed a little bit of higher velocity 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.320 earlier this year when he's coming out of the bullpen, 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.440 showed some of those flashes of ninety six ninety seven, 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.040 ninety eight miles per hour. Yesterday mix it into two 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.440 seam four scene was ninety one ninety two getting him 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.880 to ninety four ninety five. I thought he showed a 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.600 a very nice slider slash sweeper. 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:04.120 With some of that movement. 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.080 Had nine whiffs on the day, ended up with three strikeouts, 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.440 and is also mixing it a new change up into 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.800 his arsenal as well. So something to keep an eye 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.680 on as we move forward with all these Giants top 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:19.200 pitching prospects. Another one making his debut today, Carson Wizenheim. 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.320 Not his debut. What am I talking about, you fool? 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.480 I've actually been at the ballpark to see the whiz 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.280 kid on the bubb Hope kicking it off today ten 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:31.080 thirty five pregame eleven thirty five first pitch. But let's 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.320 talk about some of those prospects that the Giants just 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.120 got at this year's trade deadline. 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.480 Coming up next, we will review. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:41.920 Some of the Buster Posey trades, what they plan on doing, 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.560 and what the future holds for the San Francisco Giants. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:49.640 We'll do that next on The Sports Leader, KNBRB Sports Leader. 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:54.720 Now back to murphin markets on the Sports Leader, streaming 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.640 live on the sports Leader dot com and KNBR the 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:00.800 Sports Leader app. 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:06.640 Yeah. 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:07.000 I don't know. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.760 I guess you can characterize it with how you want. 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.240 I wouldn't necessarily say a rebuild. I mean, obviously we 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.440 moved some some six major league players off of our 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:20.240 roster today. I guess the messages is we're not satisfied 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:23.160 with the way that we've played this year in the 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.920 last few years, and we're trying everything we can to 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.880 to continue to build a product that that we can 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.360 all be, you know, excited to come and watch. And 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.000 that was really the goal. And this is can we 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.720 even if we have to subtract a little bit now, 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.320 can we potentially add some players that we think our 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.560 fans are going to be excited about and hopefully wear 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.280 a Giant's uniform for a long time. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:52.920 Buster Posey earlier this week after the trade deadline, talking 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.280 about whether or not you want to call this a rebuild, 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:01.160 a retooling, a reshuffling of the major league roster and 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:06.440 the minor league organization as well. Buster Posey phone line 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.600 dependent will join us tomorrow morning at seven thirty for 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:13.000 the Giants Executive Show, so JD and myself will have 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.080 plenty of opportunities to ask Buster Posey about each and 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.720 every one of these moves that he made on Monday. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.840 Even going back to Sunday night, with Tyler Mawley being 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:27.000 the first trade piece traded away to the Atlanta Braves, 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.119 Giants end up trading away six active players off the 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.920 major league roster. This comes one year after they decided 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.080 to trade away three different pieces off the major league 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:42.080 roster last year. JD Murph and I were discussing this earlier. 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.720 I know you're a diehard Giants fan, born and raised. 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.080 I don't think I've ever seen a sell off this 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:52.280 big in Giants' history, Like, even beyond the prospects that 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.960 they got back, I think the messaging might even be 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.600 bigger of the Giants finally putting their foot down and 0:17:58.640 --> 0:17:59.919 saying we're going in a certain dire. 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.440 Yeah, I think so, although I do still think they're 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:05.480 trying to have their cake and eat it too a 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.879 little bit because it doesn't feel I think, because there 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:13.439 are still many veterans still on the roster and projected 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.680 to be everyday players Logan Web obviously still at the 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:18.080 front of the rotation. 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.280 It still doesn't feel like this is a. 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:26.720 Rebuild to me as much as it really is for 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.120 you three years down the line. But I just keep 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.720 coming back to the fact that the Giant's ultimate goal 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:37.159 is going to be to try to cobble together a 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.080 team that can compete and contend in twenty twenty seven, 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.520 and maybe not. Maybe the nature of what twenty twenty 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:46.520 seven is it means you ride it out if it's 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:49.120 a one hundred game season or an eighty game season 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:53.240 or something, or even no season, shudder to think about that. 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.160 But if it wound up being. 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.479 A shorter season, maybe they would be more inclined to 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.520 just ride out some of the open spots with younger 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.800 players and then just take another year of the veteran 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.320 players that in some ways they're stuck with and just 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:11.119 get closer at that point to the next wave that 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.520 would be upcoming. Because I do think some of these 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:15.240 guys are going to start to be here in twenty 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.800 eight and then more in twenty nine, and it feels 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.000 like twenty nine, thirty and beyond that's when a lot 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.840 of these guys obviously would would project to be up. 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:26.000 So I think they're leaving themselves a little bit of 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.439 flexibility as to the path at which they look to 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:33.040 choose for twenty twenty seven based on what twenty twenty 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:36.200 seven looks like overall in Major League Baseball. 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:37.000 But I don't know. 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:41.880 I just I'm left still feeling like, yes, they did 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.760 what they could, but they could have really looked to 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.240 do more. And I don't think I would have viewed 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.600 it negatively had they looked to do more. But they 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:55.600 still don't want the perception attached to them of what 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.840
