1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: Lady, any one avoiding her old wrong. You've ben Wade 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: more and more. Welcome to Boston Territory, Ladies and gentlemen. 3 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: Breaking news into the desk. Ranger Suarez heading to the 4 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: Red Sox. The Red Sox make a big signing after 5 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: the complete uh mishap of Alex Bregman going to the Cubs. 6 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: The Red Sox really shot themselves in the foot over 7 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: that one. But this is the first step in making 8 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: up for it. And you know, I'll say right off 9 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: the bat, I like Ranger Suarez. You know, I've been 10 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: a big fan of him, especially in the postseason. And 11 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: there's a couple of things I'm a little about what Suarez, 12 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: but overall, I do like this move. And you know what, 13 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: I'll give the Red Sox a little credit. Okay, Yeah, listen, 14 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm still a little upset over Bregman not coming back. 15 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox did not handle that at 16 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: all in the best way possible. I think they looked 17 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: very silly when all was said and double with that. 18 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: But I like Suarez. This is an upgrade for the rotation. 19 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: Let's get into it here. We got a lot of 20 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: people here in the chat. Thank you for stopping by. Ladies. Aime, gentlemen, 21 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: we are live if you can hit the like button, 22 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: subscribe if you're new. We're trying to get the seven 23 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: k by opening day. Here we go. Let's get to 24 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: the first report here, John Hayman again. You all know me. 25 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: When I'm going live to react to something, it's always 26 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm getting prepared. I'm doing what I gotta do. So 27 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: here we go John Hayman, he was the first on it. 28 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: This one hit me like a fricking sack of potatoes. 29 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: John Hayman breaking Ranger Suarez to the Red Sox. That's 30 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: all there was to that. I'm sure there's other information 31 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: out there. I believe I saw that it was a 32 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: five year deal. I don't have my phone right next 33 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: to me. Let's see here. I believe it was a 34 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: five year deal for one thirty which was what I 35 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: did see. Let me pull this up really quick, apologizes, 36 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. I should have gotten this ready. Here 37 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: we go. Ken Rosenthal had it. Cam Rosenthal source confirms 38 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: Ranger Suarez in agreement with the Red Sox on a 39 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: five year, one hundred and thirty million dollar contract. Not 40 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: sure if there's any sort of options, if there's any 41 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: sort of opt outs, if there's any deferred money, I 42 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: would imagine probably not a no trade clause. They wouldn't 43 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: give that to Alex Bregman. But that seems to be 44 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: I think right around what I was expecting Suarez to 45 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: end up getting. I was thinking somewhere in the in 46 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: that range, right under thirty million dollars per year. Run 47 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: around more so that twenty five million dollars per year. 48 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: But this is the first step for the Red Sox 49 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: in trying to fix their ways after letting Bregmann go 50 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: into the Cubs, right, I would imagine, now this is 51 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: going to take them out of the Bobashett sweepstakes. Listen. 52 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: I would love for them to keep just going forward 53 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: and just getting these signings done, right. I would love 54 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: Bobachette on top of this. But with the way the 55 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: Red Sox have handled free agency over the last few years, 56 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: I mean the fact that they go out there and 57 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: they make a signing like this, not very often they 58 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: do a signing like this, I believe I'd have to 59 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: go back. I'm going blank a little bit, but I 60 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: believe this is the longest contract that they have given 61 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: to a free agent in quite a bit. Now again, 62 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: i'd have to go back, but it feels like a 63 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: little while since they've given out a contract minus an extension. 64 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: They've definitely, you know, given out longer extensions, right, Garre Crochet, Roman, 65 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: Anthony Christian Campbell. But for a free agent, this has 66 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: been a while. This has been a while. Now, I 67 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: think this is a fair deal. Honestly, this is, like 68 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: I said, what I was expecting Ranger Suarez to end 69 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: up getting. Now let's talk about Suarez here. Listen, I'm 70 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: a fan of Suarez. You know, do I think he's 71 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: the top free agent pitcher out there? No, I don't 72 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: think he is. Right. You know, you can make that 73 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: argument coming into the offseason, Dylan Cez, Franbervaldez. But I 74 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: definitely think he was, you know, in one of those 75 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: upper tiers coming off a good year. Twenty six starts 76 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: right under one hundred and sixty innings, pitch el rd 77 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: a three point two zero fit at a three point 78 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: two to one, he had a four point zero f 79 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: four overall. And if you're talking about numbers, if you're 80 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: talking about replacing that wins above replacement production from Alex 81 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: Bregman well, Suarez does replace that just on the other side, right, 82 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: Bregman was a three and a half f woar last year. 83 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: Suarez was a four point zero last year, So they 84 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: technically replaced that production in terms of wins just on 85 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: the team. Now. They still need to address the lineup, 86 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: of course they do that. They need to go out 87 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: there and get another bat. I'll talk about that in 88 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: just a second. Suarez does still have strong projections according 89 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: to Fangrafts for this coming year, over twenty nine starts, 90 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: they're projecting one hundred and sixty nine innings pitched el 91 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: Ray Fipp in the mid threes, a three point three 92 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: f four overall. He is the clear number two behind 93 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: Garrett Crochet. And you know what, I really like this 94 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: one two three for the Red Sox. I'm gonna say 95 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: that right now. I really like it. Crochet, Suarez, Gray, 96 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: that's great. That's really good. That is very solid if 97 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: you're going into a postseason with Crochet and the caliber 98 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: of a postseason picture that Suarez is and a gamer 99 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: like Sonny Gray. Got some younger guys you know coming 100 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: up the pipe here, Peyton, Totaly, Connelly, early, Brian Bao. 101 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: Maybe he can take us a bit of a step forward, 102 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: Johann Oviedo. Maybe they can tap into some of that 103 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: potential there. You know, you got some guys coming back 104 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: for depth, like Cutter Crawford. Who knows what happens with 105 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: Patrick Sandoval, Right, but they're looking strong here. In my opinion, 106 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: I'm really liking the way. Sorry I'm not showing the 107 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: rotation here. I think they're looking really good for this rotation. 108 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: Let me refresh list. Let's see. Yeah, there they go. 109 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: They put Ranger Suarez in the number two spot. I 110 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: think this is a really competitive rotation for the postseason. 111 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to add a bat to this lineup 112 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: that the job is not done. They need to finish 113 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: strong here. This is a good step in finishing strong 114 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: this postseason. I'm a fan of this move again with Suarez, Yes, 115 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: he does have some pretty good projections here, had some 116 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: good numbers last year. The one thing that has dogged 117 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: him over the years, you know, going back here twenty 118 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: twenty one when he was twenty five years old, is 119 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: staying healthy. Right, He's never really missed like a I mean, 120 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: he has missed significant time, but it's never like a 121 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: you know, a Tommy John he missed a year or whatever. 122 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: It's always like these nagging little things, like he'll have 123 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: a back thing. I believe he's had something with the 124 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,559 Speaker 1: arm over the last couple of years. I don't remember 125 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: what it was exactly, but it's always something nagging with him. 126 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: So if you take a look at the innings, right, 127 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two one hundred fifty five and a third. 128 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,559 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty three it was one hundred twenty five. Twenty 129 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: twenty four is one hundred and fifty. This past year 130 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: just under one hundred and sixty. So I think it's 131 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: safe where you can expect around twenty five starts. I 132 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if you're gonna see a couple of 133 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: little nagging things throughout the year. That's been consistent with him. 134 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: But when it's time for the postseason, this guy turns 135 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 1: it up every single time. He has had great numbers 136 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: in the postseason. Let's actually pull up those numbers here, 137 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: very good numbers in the postseason. Take a look back 138 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: to their run back in twenty twenty two, when the 139 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: Phillies made it for the World Series. He had a 140 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: one point two to three ERA over four starts in 141 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three had a one point e al ray 142 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,679 Speaker 1: he had. He didn't go very far back in twenty 143 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: four and went four and a third but didn't give 144 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: up any runs. He pitched well this past year. The 145 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: guy just knows how to pitch in the postseason. And listen, 146 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: we're all about postseason baseball here in Boston. I think 147 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: Suarez fits that mold. I really like this edition here. 148 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: He's a good teammate. I remember reading about, you know, 149 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years during his time with 150 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: the Phillies. Right, He's always been a guy that's likable 151 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: in the clubhouse. I like this a lot. I like it. 152 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: And listen to the Red Sox. If they make it 153 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: into the postseason and everyone's healthy and you got Crochet, 154 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: Suarez and Sonny Gray with some of these other guys 155 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: that could step up, that's pretty good. I think that's 156 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,599 Speaker 1: pretty competitive now with Suarez. Taking a look at the 157 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: metrics here, I really like Suarez for a few different reasons. Now, 158 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: he's not gonna blow you away in terms of velocity, 159 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: but I kind of like this with Crochet because Crochet 160 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna come at you with the He's gonna come 161 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: at you with the stuff. With Suarez not so much. 162 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: He's really gonna sit around that the low nineties there. 163 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: He was only the seventh percentile when he came to 164 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: his fastball velo this past year. But he's does a 165 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: very good job at getting a lot of weak contact. 166 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: He was in the ninety fifth percentile when he came 167 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: to his average exit Vello this past year. He gets 168 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: guys to chase out of the zone. He's a crafty guy. 169 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: He's not gonna get a lot of swing and miss, 170 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 1: but I think that's okay. You don't need to have 171 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: every single one of these guys be six foot five, 172 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: six foot six, blow you away kind of a fastball, 173 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: wicked sliders. It's okay if you just know how to pitch. 174 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: I think that's completely fine too. And he does a 175 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: great job at that. No, he's not gonna get a 176 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: lot of swing and miss. He's gonna picture a bit 177 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: more to contact, but he's still gonna get a decent 178 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: amount of strikeouts because he's a guy that's gonna throw 179 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: a lot of strikes. He was in the eighty six 180 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: percentile last year. That is something the Red Sox like 181 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: they want guys that can throw strikes. Again, it's not 182 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: just all about the swing and miss, right, He's gonna 183 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: limit the contact by a bunch, Like I already said, 184 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: average Egsavilo ninety fifth percentile, barrel percentage in the eighty 185 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: ninth percentile, ninety eighth percentile when it came to the 186 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: hard hit percentage, He's gonna get a good amount of 187 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: ground balls as well. Again, he doesn't fit that moose 188 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: like kind of profile that we've been talking about this offseason. 189 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: That's okay though the Red Sox there's some other guys 190 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: out there that they like as well. They want guys 191 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: that can throw strikes and control the game and control 192 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: the strike zone. Right. Suarez brings that to the table, 193 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: and I think that's some nice differentiation, especially if you're 194 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: going into a postseason. You go Game one with Crochet 195 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: who's gonna blow you away, and then you go with 196 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: a really crafty guy like Ranger Suarez. Right, it's just 197 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: a nice differentiation in my opinion. I really like it 198 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: a lot, A big fan of this, but they are 199 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: gonna have to do make another move at the end 200 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: of the day. Now, taking a look at Suarez when 201 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: it comes to the pitch repertoire, and as you can 202 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: see here, he's had a lot of success with a 203 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: bunch of different pitches. He's gonna come at you with 204 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: this most of the time. He's gonna throw a really 205 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: good change up. He's gonna throw a very good curve 206 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: ball as well. He'll mix in some cutters. He just 207 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: has a lot of different pictures that he can play with. 208 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: He's a tough ab he's obviously he's very good against 209 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: the lefties. I like it a lot. Man, big fan 210 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: of this. I think this is a This is a 211 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: guy who wants to go out there and win. He's 212 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: a competitor. That's the kind of guy you want in Boston, 213 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 1: right You want to just a gritty kind of a 214 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: guy that's gonna go out there and compete. And I 215 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: like this a lot for the Red Sox overall, it's 216 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: a nice looking rotation if you ask me. As of 217 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: right now, it's projected to be Crochet Suarez, Gray, Brian 218 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: Bao in the four spot, Johann Oviedo in the five spot. Now, 219 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: the question is you know you kind of wonder here, 220 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: you do kind of wonder? You got a lot of 221 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: pictures here, right, You got a lot of guys in 222 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: the fold, right, Cutter Crawford, he should be good to 223 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: go here in twenty twenty six, Patrick Sandoval coming back, 224 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: Peyton totally Connolly early right. Don't forget about some other 225 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: guys like Cal Harrison, Jake Bennett who they brought in. 226 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: Benn it's gonna be a little further away. I shouldn't 227 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: even say him. You know, guys like David Sandlin. So 228 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: you do wonder, you know, how they're gonna fit all 229 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: these guys. You almost wonder if there could be another 230 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: sort of a trade, you know, Coultz, I don't know. 231 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: I was thinking about Brian Bayo as a possible trade 232 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: chip at one point. I don't know though. You know 233 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: he was at Famway Fest. You know he's gonna be 234 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: the WBC. You know they love him there in Boston. 235 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: But you kind of wonder if there could be another 236 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: sort of a trade here because it's just a lot 237 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: of guys in the fold, right, you know, Bao being 238 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: your number four. You know, it's interesting, I say, stay tuned. 239 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: I wonder if there could be another kind of a 240 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: move for the Red Sox. At one point when it 241 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: comes to possibly dealing a picture just to make room, 242 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: you know, I mean early and totally. They can definitely 243 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: start at triple A. But uh, you know, as some 244 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: you know OV Crawford, and you kind of just wonder, 245 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: how are you gonna mix all these guys in. It's 246 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: gonna be interesting, gonna be interesting. Now for the Red Sox, 247 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: what's next? Love this move before I get into what's next. 248 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: I do believe we had a super chat. We had 249 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: a couple super chats here, a couple super chats. Let's 250 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: actually get to those really quick. Let me know where 251 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: you're thinking down below here in the comments, we got 252 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: over seven hundred people here in the chat. I think 253 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: that's a record. I think we got a record here 254 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: from moster territory. We got seven hundred people in the 255 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: chat here. My goodness, ladies and gentlemen. I think we 256 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: have set a record here for the channel. So if 257 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: any of you are new looking for more Red Sox content, 258 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: or you know whatever, you just like listening about the 259 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: Red Sox, or you're a Yankee fan Orioles fan trying 260 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: to keep up, Hey, think about subscribing. We are trying 261 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: to get the seven k by opening day. Let's get 262 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 1: to the superchats here we had a couple here we go, 263 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: first super chat from Guares twenty four. It'll be great 264 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: to say, see what they do with him and their 265 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: Velocity program. Also, this allows them to more comfortably trade 266 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: from their pitching pool. A good point there. You kind 267 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: of wonder, I mean, here's the thing with Suarez, right, 268 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: you know, he's already he's thirty years old, so you 269 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: kind of wonder how much more of a ceiling he 270 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: has there. You know, maybe they could get a bit 271 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: of a boost with the Villo, maybe they could find 272 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: a way to tap into it a little bit more. 273 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: But I feel like at this point in his career 274 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: he could be you know, maybe maybe reached his ceiling. 275 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: But maybe there is another step. Maybe the Red Sox 276 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: can take her with a couple of things. Again, he's 277 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: got a lot of pictures to work with. It'd be 278 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: interesting to see how the Red Sox work together with him, 279 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: and maybe they can tap into a bit more velo. 280 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: But again, kind of what I said there, it allows 281 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: them to more comfortably trade from their pitching pool. I mean, 282 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: I agree if they wanted to go that route, they 283 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: just have a lot of guys in the fold, so 284 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: you just wonder if there could be another move and listen, 285 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: you could say what you want about Craig Breslo. Trust me, 286 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: he has I think he would say the same for 287 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: himself that he definitely deserves some criticism with the whole 288 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman, the fallout of that, the whole situation there. Yeah, 289 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: I think he does deserve a little bit of criticism. 290 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: I think they handled that terribly. But with Craig when 291 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: he has come up short, he has been very good 292 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: at pivoting. Just like Ross from Friends, you gotta pivot right, 293 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: you go to Max Freed. Last offseason, he pivoted to 294 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: Garrett Crochet. The very next day, lost out on Bregman. 295 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: You know, downtime's here in Boston over the last few days. 296 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: But here he go, you know, here he goes, you know, 297 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: signing Rangererssuarez again. I'm going blank. I can't think of 298 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: the Is JD Martinez the last free agent that they've 299 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: signed to at least a five year No Trevor Story, 300 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: Trevor Story, I knew I was going blank. Besides Trevor Story, 301 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you go Jady Martinez in twenty eighteen. They 302 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: haven't done it very much. Well, you know, they've done 303 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: the extensions, but there's not a whole lot of these 304 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: deals in free agency. They've done Trevor Story, Jady Martinez. 305 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Masa, I knew I was going blank, right, 306 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: Masa was. And then again with Story and Masa they 307 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: were Heim Bloom guys. But with Craig Breslo, he hasn't 308 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: made really a signing like this. You know, he's gotten Giolito, 309 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: He's done some like one year deals, the two year deals, right, 310 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: you know, it did the Bregman one of the option. 311 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: But this is definitely his biggest contract up to this point. 312 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: Let's get to the super chats here. Here we go, 313 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: Let's get to the next one. What do we got here? 314 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: Random us? So, what's going on with my friend? Or 315 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: Ren desvs? Twenty seven? How you doing my friend? Makes 316 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: me think one of early or totally is gone. I'll 317 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: say this. At Femway Fest when I went, when I 318 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: was a part of the media, there was a lot 319 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: of love for those two guys. It felt like the 320 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: Red for really putting them out there. It kind of 321 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: makes you wonder, you know, Yeah, you think about it 322 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: from the baseball point of view, you think about it 323 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: from you know, mock trade point of view, right, roster construction, Yeah, 324 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: I mean there could be some sense to that. But 325 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: you also wonder, you know, just from an organizational point 326 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: of view, the way they were promoting those guys a 327 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: femway fest, right, you know, they were going out doing 328 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: some charity stuff here over the last month or so 329 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: as well. You kind of wonder if they feel like 330 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: they want to hang onto those two guys. I mean, hey, 331 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: why would you not in the end want to hang 332 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: onto a couple of guys like that, right, very high 333 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: ceilings for both of them. Connolly early showing what you 334 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: can what he can do in a postseason and his 335 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: rookie year. I mean, I feel like those are guys 336 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: that you would actually sure like you could make the 337 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: argument to move one of them in a blockbuster deal, 338 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: but just what they bring to the table, it might 339 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: be more worth actually just hanging on to them, right, 340 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,239 Speaker 1: and then you find some other ways. That's That's why 341 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: I wonder, you know, if someone like Brian Bao, you know, 342 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: could possibly be used in a trade. But then again, 343 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: maybe the Red Sox want to have as much depth 344 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: as possible and they just figure it out as they go, 345 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: We'll see you know, Peyton totally again early. They could 346 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: definitely start down to the miners. It's not like they 347 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: have to start at the major league level. You know, 348 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: maybe they could win a spot, but you know, just 349 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: being realistic, there are a lot of guys in the fold. Scott, 350 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: how do we do with my friend? Like the move? 351 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: Love your content? Thank you my friend. You mentioned traveling 352 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: to Boston for famway Fest. What city do you live in? 353 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: I live in central Florida. I'm right outside Orlando. I 354 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: grew up right outside Worcester. I moved to Florida years back. 355 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: Dad got a job down here, so I moved down 356 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: here and I've been here ever since. But I come 357 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: down to Boston every year a couple of times. At 358 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: least once a year I come down or come up. Sorry, 359 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: but yeah, hoping to come back at some point this year. 360 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: I would love to come for a series or two. 361 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: Hopefully I could be you know, part of maybe possibly 362 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: can get some credentials for you know, to get some 363 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: postgame access. We'll have to wait and see. Brian Hendrickson, 364 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: I actually you said here, you're in Holden. I lived 365 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: in Rutland, Massachusetts, right outside Holden. I used to go 366 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: to Holden Hills all the time over there. My two 367 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: brothers they went to what shoot at Regional High School 368 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: over there? So yeah, but yeah, we moved down to 369 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: Florida years ago. Dad got a job down here, and hey, 370 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: what can you do? A sur and fish? Oh another superchat? 371 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: Ten dollars, super chat? Thank you, my friend. Let's see 372 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: what have we got here? Excellent move. Socks can now 373 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: either run with Bao as the number four, or package 374 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: him with Duran for another ace like Reagan's Green Ryan 375 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: or someone else plenty of ammo to make a trade 376 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: splash for a bat too. It's or of like, I mean, 377 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: would they actually he would they? Here's the thing you 378 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: could maybe think about that possibility? Right? Could another guy 379 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: be on the table here? Could the Red Sox look 380 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: to build like a super rotation kind of a thing 381 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: where Sonny Gray is your number four? Could you imagine 382 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: some kind of a setup with Crochet, Reagan's Suarez Gray 383 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: and then whoever's in the five spot, and holy cal 384 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: that'd be amazing. But I will say this now that 385 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: they're not bringing back Bregman, obviously, you kind of wonder 386 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: if they probably would like to hang on to Duran. 387 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 1: At this point, they need to add a bat. Now. 388 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: I think if they had brought back Bregman and they 389 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: were in a position to maybe trade for another bat, 390 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: maybe you could have had that conversation, right, but I 391 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: think now you need to keep as much offense as 392 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: possible after losing Bregman. So let's get to some bats here. 393 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: Let's get us some bats here. Thank you so much 394 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: for the super chat. So, now that the Red Sox 395 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: have signed Ranger Suarez, how are they going to go 396 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: about getting another bat? That's interesting. Do they go back 397 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: out into free agency and spend more money or do 398 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: they go make a trade for an arbitration kind of 399 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: a guy. If you think about Bregman's salary right around 400 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: thirty to thirty five million or so, well, Suarez, what 401 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: is that going to be now like twenty was that 402 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: twenty six million per year? Yeah? So Suarez? Is that 403 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 1: twenty six on the AAV So if you're looking at 404 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: say just a rough number thirty two million for Bregman, well, 405 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: now twenty six of that has gone to Ranger, and 406 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: uh so, now maybe you can go get someone around 407 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: that range, you know, Esach Paratus, he is going to 408 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: be making a bit more than that an arbitration, But 409 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: you kind of wonder if that's who it's gonna be. 410 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: I mean, Rob fifty four eighty one, you're talking about you, 411 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: You're saying, spend money. Laughing emoji, laughing emoji, laughing emoji. 412 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: They just spent money. They just signed a guy five years, 413 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: one thirty. We can't be laughing at it. We cannot 414 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: be laughing at it. They just spent the money. I mean, yes, 415 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: it's not Bregman, but they spent the money, so we 416 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: can't really there we go, they signed a free agent. 417 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: They did it, finally, crying out loud. But you kind 418 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: of wonder if that is the direction they're going to 419 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: go to replace Bregman's thirty ish million dollar salary. Is 420 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: that gonna be it a free agent starter and an 421 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: arbitration bat So Paradis possibly. I mean, if you're looking 422 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: for a right handed hitter, you know, I think Paradis 423 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: could be that guy. Right he can just slide into 424 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: third base. Now with his defense, it's not going to 425 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: be amazing out there, So I don't know. You also 426 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: kind of wonder, too, do they just leave into just 427 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: building this amazing pitching staff, right, and do they just 428 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: kind of go with what they got? I mean, do 429 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: they go with romy and David Hamilton as a platoon 430 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: at second base? I mean, goodness, gracious, I don't know 431 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: if I'm really a fan of that. I don't know here. 432 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: You know, you kind of wonder what the next move 433 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: is gonna be. You know, I've listed a few candidates. Well, 434 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: Aeronato's not gonna happen now, but you know, Paradus, do 435 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: they possibly take a look at someone like Donovan? Listen, 436 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of Donovan, but they do have 437 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: quite a few lefties in the lineup, so you kind 438 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: of just wonder if that's the way they would like 439 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: to go. I mean, listen, I'll say this, if they 440 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: did bring in Donovan, if they've found a way to 441 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: jump into those sweepstakes, you know, if you had you know, 442 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: Donovan's not great against lefties, so if he played the 443 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: majority of time at second base and then Romey was 444 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: up against the lefties, I mean, listen, I wouldn't hate 445 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: that really, And then he has versatility, he can move around, 446 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: so maybe Donovan could be a guy. But then, you know, 447 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: if the Red Sox are gonna spend more money if 448 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: they are going to take a step further here, could 449 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: he Hedo Suarez be a guy I think Wilson Contrera 450 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: spoke with the media today for the first time. I 451 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: think someone asked him, Hey, you're trying to recruit Suarez 452 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: to Boston. Possibly. I think Wilson was like, yeah, you know, 453 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: we'll see what we can do. You know, but Suarez, 454 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: he would bring a lot of pop there to the 455 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: middle of the order. So you kind of just wonder. 456 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: And I'll say this, I thank you. I see it 457 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: in the chat here. If the Phillies were to acquire 458 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: Boba Schett, I know a lot of people might not 459 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: like this, but if Boba Schett ends up going to 460 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: the Phillies where he's got a good relationship with Don 461 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: Mattingly hometown right outside their spring training complex, got a 462 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: whole bunch of dudes over there, do the Red Side 463 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: maybe make a move for Alec Bohm. You kind of wonder, 464 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: you know, right handed bat had some injuries last year. 465 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: I feel like a guy that hasn't fully hit his potential, 466 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: you know. And the Red Sox they've spoken about this 467 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: in the past, where they like to try and you know, 468 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: get guys that they can put into their system, maybe 469 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: tap into a little bit more right. You kind of 470 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: wonder if Boem could be a possibility here. I don't know. 471 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: It's interesting because I think the Phillies are gonna have 472 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: to move him if they end up getting Bow. And 473 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: I'll say this, I would love to get bo Just 474 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: just keep this going. Go sign Ranger, Go sign Bow 475 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: as well. Who knows. Maybe the Red Sox got a 476 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: wake up call. I don't. I don't. I'm gonna doubt 477 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: that one. Maybe they got a bit of a wake 478 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: up call and they're like, you know what, everyone's crashing 479 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: on us for not bringing back Bregman, But you know what, 480 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: we're gonna go get Suarez. We're gonna go get bo 481 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: You know, maybe all of a sudden they've got a 482 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: fire up their high knees. Maybe they end up doing something. 483 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: I doubt that. I think based off of the way 484 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: they've operated, I would think a trade for a bat 485 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: or maybe you could sign Suarez as likely. But you know, 486 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: I wonder if Balm could be a possibility, a guy 487 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: that does get on base, pretty solid batting average at 488 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: two eighty seven last year. It's just more so tapping 489 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: into that power. You know, he's a big guy, six 490 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: foot five, so you kind of just wonder if the 491 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: Red Sox look at him and the fact that you know, 492 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 1: he's still under thirty years old, he is a free 493 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: agent after this coming season. You wonder if maybe that 494 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: could be a guy that they see some potential in 495 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: where maybe they could tap into a little bit more. 496 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I would say look out for Balm. 497 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: I would say look out for Paradis. I think Paradis 498 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: could make some sense with his pull profile and with 499 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: the Astros they do got a lot of guys in 500 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: the I think it would be better for them to 501 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: move Christian Walker if they can. But at the end 502 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: of the day, it takes two to tango. You're gonna 503 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: have to find a team to take on the rest 504 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: of his contract for the next couple of years. So 505 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: that's why Paradis. He has a couple more years of control. 506 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: He's cheaper, so that might be something more desirable for teams. 507 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 1: And hey, you know, with this poll profile at Famway Park, 508 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: you could play a lot of wall ball there. I 509 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: could see Paradis being a possibility. You know, Donovan's interesting 510 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: it would cost a lot. It would be yet another 511 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: trade with the Saint Louis Cardinals. So I would say 512 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: look out for one of these guys. It was funny 513 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: earlier we had Rob Bradford. He tweeted out that of 514 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: the Red Sox were active in the trade market looking 515 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: for I'm paraphrasing a bona fide one or two in 516 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: the rotation, and it looks like they weren't able to 517 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: get something done. So that's why they seem like they 518 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: pivoted here to Suarez. So that's where I think, Okay, 519 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: now they're gonna go try in the trade market for 520 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: a bat. We'll see. That's what I'm thinking here. I 521 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: think the Red Sox their next move, I'm gonna lean 522 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: more towards trading for a bat. Maybe they could sign Suarez. 523 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: But you know their payroll, you know, let's take a 524 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: look at the payroll here. Let's see that addition that's 525 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: gonna put them over to seventy. I believe they're estimated 526 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,239 Speaker 1: luxury an they're right, well, Fangrafts they have it at 527 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: two sixty five. Red Sox payroll I think is usually 528 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: like a little bit higher. So I think they're maybe 529 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,479 Speaker 1: gonna be he'll probably have them closer to two seventy, 530 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: but they're right around that two sixty five to seventy range. 531 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: So Suarez, you know, if you bring him in for 532 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: a you know, for what twenty two twenty five million 533 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: per year, Uh, you know, that's that's gonna get you 534 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: close to three hundred million dollars per year. So when 535 00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: you look at the payroll thresholds with the CBT, I 536 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: mean they are over the second CBT. Now do they 537 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: want to go over the third CBT? I feel like 538 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,959 Speaker 1: more likely they're gonna look to stay under that. They 539 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: went over the first CBT last year, now they're over 540 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: the second one. I think they're probably gonna park in 541 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: this area probably. So that's why I think a trade 542 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: is gonna be more likely. So I'll say this right now, Suarez, 543 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure about that one. I'm gonna say 544 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: it's either gonna be Paradus or it's gonna be BOM. 545 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: If Bobashett goes to the Phillies, I just hope the 546 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: Red Sox just say screw the money, let's just go 547 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: get bow. But looks like the Phillies and Bo that 548 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: there seems to be a good connection there. John Hayman 549 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: put out a report yesterday, I believe, saying that seems 550 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: like both sides are digging each other. So we'll see 551 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: what happens there. But I'd say look out for Bom. 552 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: That could be interesting, especially now that the Red Sox 553 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: have spent the money on Suarez, makes me feel like 554 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: they're probably not gonna go after bo. We got another 555 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: super chat here, we got another super chat. Let's take 556 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: a look Sie now, thank you for the super chat 557 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: so far. Also, I'm gonna look at the pole. I'm 558 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: gonna look at the pole. Uh from Guari's twenty four? 559 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: How you doing? My friend? Trade for Horner and move 560 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: him back to short where he's excellent. Move Story to 561 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: second base, move Meyer at third. Here's the thing with Horner. 562 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: I love Horner, big fan of Horner. Oh Man. We 563 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: did have eight hungered in the chat, didn't we. I 564 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: think we had eight hungred people in the chat. Man, 565 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: oh Man, We've set a record here today, ladies and gentlemen, 566 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: here on Massa territory. So Horner, I'm a big fan. 567 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: I think he's very underrated. You know, he's not gonna 568 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: be a guy that gives you a ton of power, 569 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: but he's gonna hit for a ton of contact, lots 570 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: of speed, very good defense as well, but for one year. 571 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: It's always tricky when you're trading for a guy that 572 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: only has one more year, you know, because you know, 573 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Horner is at the level of a 574 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker want Soto, but you know, you got to 575 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: think to yourself, is the juice worth the squeeze? You know? 576 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: Is you gotta think of Horner. You gotta assume he's 577 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: gonna go to free agency, So you know, are you 578 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: willing to give up assets for a guy like Horner? Right? 579 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: For me, personally, I think the Cubs should keep Horner 580 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: and they kind of see what happens there. They put 581 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: Seawan a utility roll move around a little bit, maybe 582 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: get some time in the miners whatever, or maybe they 583 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: could trade Shaw. You know, I wonder I would extend Horner. 584 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: For me personally, I think he's so good. That's what 585 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: I'm thinking here. I would love Horner. I just don't 586 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: see the Red Sox pulling that off. I'd be happy 587 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: if they did. That'd be great. I would love that. 588 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: But we've seen the giants connected with him as did see. 589 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: I saw something out there today. I don't I don't 590 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: know who said it. It could be just one of 591 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: those fake s, troll accounts or whatever that just put 592 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: stuff out there, but I saw that the Giants are 593 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: trying to make something happen and it wasn't really happening 594 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: or something. I think Donovan's the better fit with the Giants, 595 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: honestly because he can play second base and right field, 596 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: two weak spots for the Giants right now. So I 597 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: like Donovan for the Giants. So the Mighty Boston twenty 598 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: one twenty three sounds like the Red Sox are more 599 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: likely to trade totally plus totally does up great secondary pictures. Well, 600 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so. I think the Red 601 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: Sox are very high on Peyton totally. That guy's he's 602 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: a dude. He's also hilarious. I'm gonna say that about 603 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: totally at Famway Fest when I was in the media 604 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: scrum and he's he's hilarious. Please do not trade that guy. 605 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: He is like, he's like a freaking sitcom character. He's amazing. 606 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: Please do not get rid of Peyton totally. But to me, 607 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: he's got that's way too much upside. Griffin would talk 608 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: about how the the Socks have late signings story Bregman. Yeah, 609 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: they do make late signings, Griffin, they do. You know, 610 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: this is what the Red Sox do. It seems like they, 611 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: you know, over the last couple of years with Breslo, 612 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: they hang around in this market. They kind of float around. 613 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: They're waiting to see they sit back. I think they 614 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: sat back a little bit too much with Bregman. It 615 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: is what it is. But they tend to make moves late, 616 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: you know, so I don't know, they try to wait 617 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: things out. They did it with Bregman last year, right story. 618 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: You know that was hein Bloom. But we'll see, we'll see. 619 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: I'm also seeing some people in the chat suggesting Katel Marte, 620 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: could you make a move for Katel Marte. Now that 621 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: you've made a signing, could you now go back to 622 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: the trade market for Marte. I don't think the Diamondbacks 623 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: are gonna give him up. I think the only way 624 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: they were going to give him up is if Bregman 625 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: came to Arizona. And you're getting rid of too much 626 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: offense right there, You're getting rid of too good of 627 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: a player. I mean, Arizona. I mean, I mean, listen, 628 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: I know they need to fill some needs when it 629 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: comes to the pitching side, but at this point, I'm 630 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 1: not using Marte to do that because how are you 631 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 1: going to replace that production in the lineup. Wesley just 632 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: got off work. Loves this move. I like it. I 633 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: like it. You know, listen, is the negativity of Bragman 634 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: going to the Cubs maybe still in my soul a 635 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: little bit possibly, But I do say I will say 636 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: I like Suarez. I think he really fits the mold 637 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: of what the Red Sox are trying to accomplish. Gives 638 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: them a different look in the rotation. He's a proven 639 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: postseason guy. That's what we all want at the end 640 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: of the day. We want guys that can step up 641 00:34:53,560 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: big time in October. Suarez has shown that multiple times. Right, Oh, 642 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: I see here. I'd prefer Framber. Framber is interesting, right, 643 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: Framber has obviously been so successful in his career. But 644 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: you had that whole thing this past year. You know, 645 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 1: the Red Sox did meet with Framber at the GM meetings. 646 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: I believed Tim Healy reported that. But the thing with 647 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: Framber is he had the whole cross up thing, and 648 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: I think that really just like and that came out 649 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: of nowhere too, So I think teams were like whoa, Like, 650 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: what the heck happened right there? Like I saw no 651 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: one even saw that one coming, you know, and it's like, well, 652 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: are you willing to risk your clubhouse? At that point? 653 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: It's you know, so I don't know. I think that 654 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,879 Speaker 1: was the problem with Framber. So oh we got another 655 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: super chat here? How are we doing? Raphael ak aka 656 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: l Grinch. I hope they spend the money and get 657 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: bo I hope so too. I really do, I really 658 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: hope they do. That would be, uh, that would be amazing. 659 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, this would be that would be the 660 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: best of wake up calls ever. You got punched in 661 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: the face and you got your lunch money taken from you. 662 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: With Bregman going to the Cubs, you looked absolutely ridiculous. 663 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: You didn't think the Cubs had the better offer. You 664 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: thought they were bluffing, You thought Boris was full of bs. 665 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: And they they said, Okay, well we're gonna go to 666 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: the Cubs, now see you later. And he went to 667 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: the Cubs, and all of a sudden, the Red Sox 668 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: are thinking, what the heck happened. We didn't think the 669 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: Cubs had that, and the Red Sox looks stupid in 670 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: the end. Listen, they've made they have made big pivots 671 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,280 Speaker 1: in the past. You know, I would say the biggest 672 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: example was when John Lester went to the Cubs. Funny enough, 673 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,879 Speaker 1: John Lester went to the Cubs, you know, Bregman going 674 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 1: to the Cubs, and uh then we end up later 675 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: down the road bringing in David Price for a much 676 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: higher contract, right, you know, they kind of had to 677 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: pay more to make up for their mistake. Just so 678 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: it's funny how that is, where the two players that 679 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: have gone to the Cubs and all of a sudden, 680 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: the Red Sox make another signing. So I don't know, 681 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 1: could the Red Sox keep going here? You know, you 682 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 1: go back to twenty ten, all right, you know, a 683 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: very disappointing year, and then they go out there and 684 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 1: they bring in Carl Crawford Asian Gonzalez. Right, obviously that 685 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 1: didn't work out, but they've shown in the past that 686 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: you know, when they look silly, they can punch back 687 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: pretty hard. Swingman, Lou, how we doing, my friend? How 688 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: we doing? Four ninety nine? Thank you, my friends for 689 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: all the super chats do appreciate that trade Duran with 690 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: pitching depth for Paralta and make this rotation elite. Here's 691 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: the thing. I don't think you're gonna see Duran go 692 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: back in any kind of a Freddie Paraltic trade. Paralta 693 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 1: is a rental and Rob Bradford did report today that 694 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: they are looking for controllable pitching. Again. It's it's the 695 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: one year rental thing. It has to be the right package. 696 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: It has to be are you willing to give something 697 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 1: up that you know you're you're pretty certain that they're 698 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,720 Speaker 1: not going to contribute, or you don't prefer those players 699 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: to contribute for you in the future, Right, like the 700 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 1: Orioles when they got Corbin Burns, so they made that trade, Right, 701 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 1: you got Joey r. Teas, But you know, with the 702 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,439 Speaker 1: Brewers or with the Orioles, they were pretty much set 703 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 1: with the infield. So someone like Joey R. T's was expendable, right, 704 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,439 Speaker 1: d L. Hall had a high upside, right, hadn't fully 705 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: hit his potential there. So that's where they're like, Okay, 706 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: you know what, we could use these two guys in 707 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 1: a trade to bring back Corbin Burns. Hopefully he can 708 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: come back. But you know, you only make those trades 709 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,399 Speaker 1: if you know it's not going to sting you down 710 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: the road, right, So you look back at that trade 711 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: for the Brewers and hey, you know that's worked out obviously, 712 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: and then for the Orioles, you know they're they're not 713 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: really feeling the sting of that. So that's kind of 714 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: where I see those one year rental trades happen. So 715 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 1: I don't think Duran would go back here. Duran is 716 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: three more years of control. I think that would be 717 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: you don't do that, So Duran and pitching depth for 718 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: parole to that that would actually be way too much. 719 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: So in my personal opinion, I would love Parolta. Though, 720 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: what have we got? Drew Clark? How you doing, my friend? 721 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: You think there's a shot, maybe a cutter in will 722 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: Your package could be made, get a power back? Maybe 723 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: maybe you kind of wonder that. I don't think Willier. 724 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox really like Willier at this point. Obviously, 725 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,240 Speaker 1: gold glove, gold glove defense out in right field. Obviously 726 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: he's shown some good power upside there. I think this 727 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: is a guy that could hit thirty home runs. I 728 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: don't think you move Willier. At this point, I think 729 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: if you are going to move someone, it's Duran, but 730 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: you need to make sure that you are replaying not 731 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: just Duran, but also adding on top of that. You know, 732 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 1: so right now they need to add a bat. So 733 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: if you're gonna subtract Duran, they're gonna have to add 734 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: two bats at that point. In my opinion, right you 735 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 1: got to add offense. And I know you got the 736 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: whole outfield surplus thing, but losing Duran is a lot 737 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: of offense. It's a lot of a lot of extra 738 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: base hits, a lot of speed. So that's kind of 739 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: where I'm at. I think they end up hanging on 740 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: to Duran unless an opportunity for someone like Reagan's or 741 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 1: Hunter Green comes up. I'm curious. I don't think this happens, 742 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: but you kind of wonder about the possibility of maybe 743 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: they could look to build a super rotation of sorts, 744 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I don't think that happens, 745 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,839 Speaker 1: but there is the possibility where they can make another move. 746 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: But I'm with you Eric in the chat, do not 747 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:58,800 Speaker 1: trade Duran. I think at this point hanging on to 748 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: Duran makes a bit more sense, So we'll see. But everyone, 749 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna wrap it up right there. Big 750 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 1: news here today, Ranger Suarez heading to the Red Sox. 751 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 1: It is not updated on Fangrafts yet, but big fan 752 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: of this move, Love this move, Love the way the 753 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: rotation is looking right now. Yes, they still have some 754 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,919 Speaker 1: things to do, They got some work to do. They're 755 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 1: not done. I think they need to still look to 756 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: exdress either second or third base. All right, I'm leaning 757 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: more towards Paradus or Alec Bohm. If Bo goes to Philly, 758 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 1: we'll see. That's kind of where I'm leading. But then again, 759 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 1: you know, hey, maybe they could still make another signing. 760 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm factoring in the CBT. I don't know if they 761 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 1: go over that next that next threshold. So that's why 762 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,399 Speaker 1: I'm looking at a trade for a bat being more likely. 763 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: But hey, I don't know what they're doing in there. 764 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,839 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just giving an educational guess. At 765 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: the end of the day, everyone, we set a record 766 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: here today heye on YouTube over seven hundred people. We 767 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: hit eight hundred people in this stream. That is absolutely 768 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: a record for today, absolutely a record. Very thankful for that. 769 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: You guys are amazing. Thank you for all the super chats. 770 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 1: You're all very wonderful.
