1
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: We did it, Cardinal Territory fam. The Saint Louis Cardinals

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season has officially come to an end,

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: and fittingly, we discussed it on episode.

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 2: Number one hundred of this show.

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: What a riode it's been with you all this year,

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: and I'm just so thankful to all of you that

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: have subscribed, watched episodes, kept up to date with the show.

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: It's been super fun to do this with you all,

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: and I'm.

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: Really thankful for it. So thank you. But we'll save

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: the semantics for another time. We're not going to make

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: it an emotional today, No, not at all. On Game

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two, the Chicago cub shut out

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals two oh to sweep them. The

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: Cardinals finished with a seventy eight to eighty four record.

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: They were not eliminated until number one hundred and fifty nine.

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: They exceeded expectations yet also were disappointing, which doesn't make

18
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: a lot of sense, but I think those sentiments mainly

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: come down to if a couple of things had gone

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: their way or went a little differently, maybe they sneaked

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: their way into the playoffs. And I think That's especially

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: true when you think about that bad stretch of two

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: to three weeks heading into the trade deadline. But this

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: team also held their own after that, especially the bullpen,

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: my MVP area of the roster. What really sidetracked this

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: team Obviously, it's hard to overcome trading away your best

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: three believers, but they did that. What really sidetracked this

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: team in the second half was the key players getting hurt.

29
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: No Nolan Arnado and no Brendan Donovan in August was

30
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: brutal for this team. You added missying Alc Girlson for

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: a period of time, Wilson Contreras Mason when not being

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: one hundred percent like That's exactly what Allie Marvel pointed

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: to after this game about what really was hard for

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: this team. But all he did say, and this is

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: something I really do agree with, honestly, that he liked

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: the style of play all season long from this team.

37
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: This Saint Louis Cardinals team was a gritty ball club.

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: Now hear me out. That was not always reflected in

39
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: the box score and certainly not in the overall record,

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: but the way the Cardinals played through these games even

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: when they were overmatched in talent, which did happen a lot,

42
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, they have thirty nine comeback wins.

43
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen by accident. Even this week.

44
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: Like, think about two games this week that stick out

45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: to me.

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: They had that six one rally against the Giants to

47
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: stave off elimination for a day, and then Saturday, they're

48
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: trailing by four on the ninth and they load the bases,

49
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: bring the time run to the plate. Don't worry, We're

50
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 1: not going to talk about the walk, the intentional walk.

51
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: We're not talking about that. But those are two examples

52
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: of just how gritty this baseball team was. And I'm

53
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: not here for moral victories. Fans certainly aren't either. But

54
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: when you're looking to build a culture, having a core

55
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: that is determined, that is as determined as this Cardinals

56
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: team was the series' fight of all of the things

57
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: pointing for them not to be, that's at least encouraging

58
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: heading into what will be a very busy offseason in

59
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: Saint Louis. So. I guess what I'm trying to say

60
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: with my very long opening monologue is no one should

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: be happy with a second losing season in three years.

62
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: No one should be happy missing the playoffs for a

63
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: third straight season. No one should be happy with the

64
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: losing record, but the design this year was not about

65
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: wins and losses, as we know. It was about building

66
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: towards the future. The Cardinals can go out and build

67
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: and develop better players. They can go out by trade,

68
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: get some different acquisitions. You can't teach a bunch of

69
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: players who were really this roster was designed to not

70
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: compete with a lot of teams. You can't teach that

71
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: kind of mentality unless you have total buy in from

72
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: this team. And they knew what they were facing, they

73
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: knew what the messaging was, they knew this was a

74
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: transition year whatever, and they still dug in and showed

75
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: some real competitive baseball. That's a testament to the players,

76
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: that's a testament to the coaches, and it gives me

77
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of faith going forward that this is

78
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: a group that you might not be able to build

79
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: completely around, but there are some key pieces here that

80
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: will be helpful as the Cardinals in they're rebuilt, which

81
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: should start to take place in less than forty eight hours.

82
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it, starting with Kyle Lahey, the first

83
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: significant change heading into next year, and also our DraftKings

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: player to watch starting in spring training come February. But

85
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: bear with me, all right, let's break it down. We'll

86
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: be right back, all right. Our DraftKings player to watch

87
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: segment is Kyle Layhey. Let me get the overlay up there.

88
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: There we go. Kyle Lae was the starting pitcher for

89
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: today's designated bullpen game. That was by design. He threw

90
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: three scoreless innings, struck out one, did not walk a batterer,

91
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: gave up one single, and then promptly erased it with

92
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: the four to six' three double play in the third

93
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: through thirty nine, Pitches so super. Efficient he Was Kyle. Lahey.

94
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: Okay the only thing that was different was that he

95
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: was doing this to start a game instead of in

96
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: the six or seventh or eighth. Inning, again that is on,

97
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: purpose Because kyle Lay it'll be a starting, pitcher or

98
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: at least excuse, me he will report to spring training

99
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: with the ability to compete.

100
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: For a spot in the starting rotation next.

101
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: Year and this is something that if we watched the

102
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: show a lot or you read on The athletic isn't

103
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: a total surprise because this has always been floated around

104
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: throughout the season as a possibility for The cardinals and

105
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: For lady next. Year but now it's. Official The cardinals

106
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: wanted him to take this start today just so he

107
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: could see what it was like to prep for a,

108
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: start get behind that. Routine it makes a lot of

109
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: sense like this game didn't mean anything for either. Team

110
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: cardinals are, Eliminated cubs have clenched posts or home advantage

111
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: in their postseason. Bracket so this is a perfect time

112
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: for The cardinals to just, say, Hey, lay you've been

113
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: a stud for us all, year arguably our most consistent.

114
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: Reliever we want to see if you can start next.

115
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: Year let's just give you a chance to prep go

116
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: through the routine like you were a, starter so that

117
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: you have a little bit of a foundation going into next.

118
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: Season And Kyle lady did an exceptional job with. It

119
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: you look at the overall skill, set let's start there

120
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: With kylie Sixthch arsenal wipe out. Stuff he's super, efficient

121
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: as advertised by his usage. Today the trick for him

122
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: is going to be if he can repeat that stuff

123
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: through multiple, lineups multiple times through the. LINEUP i should

124
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: say he didn't get a chance to do that, obviously

125
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: because they're not going to happen for more than forty.

126
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: PITCHES i, mean he threw eighty five innings in really

127
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: eighty eight innings in relief this.

128
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: Year that's the most in The National league by a.

129
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: Lot BUT i like. THIS i really like this for

130
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: the cardinalist one BECAUSE i Think lay he can handle.

131
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: It he. Is he doesn't talk. Much if you guys

132
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: ever see his postgame, INTERVIEWS i wouldn't say he is

133
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: like the most social butterfly of them, all but he

134
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: is super smart and HIS i had a person in

135
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: the organization tell me, This Kyle lady's give a shit

136
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: meter is off the. Charts he's super, stoic doesn't express

137
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: like pretty, expressionless but really cares and.

138
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: That was evident in how he approached this whole.

139
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: Season so talking To kyle after the, game he said

140
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: what you'd expect him to, say that he's excited for this,

141
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: opportunity but he's going to take the ball no matter

142
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: when he's. Asked you, know if it's the first inning

143
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: or the, seventh he's going to do. It but The

144
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: cardinals moving on to what they need from their organization

145
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: could not be more, Dire like the starting pitching situation

146
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: could not be more dire heading into next. Year it

147
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: is so important for them to see if they have anything,

148
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: internally very similar to how they approached almost exactly similar

149
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: actually to how they Approached Matthew liberture in the. Spring

150
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: because stop making heard this. Before they have zero. Depth

151
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: Miles michelas is a free, agent AND i say what

152
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: you want About miles, MICHAELIS i, know maybe not the

153
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: most effective pitcher in the, world but a Good cardinal

154
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: for the last eight years and made thirty plus starts

155
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: again for the fourth straight. Season, okay durability is a

156
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: priceless trait in the. Game so they're losing thirty guaranteed

157
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: starts from a. Starter we have no idea What Sunny's

158
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: gray future, is But Sunny gray's, future BUT i would

159
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: be very surprised if he's with The cardinals next. YEAR

160
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: i think that The cardinals will look to trade. HIM

161
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: i think that's pretty much what he. Wants so that's.

162
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: Two he also made thirty plus starts this. Year that's sixty,

163
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: starts which just took off the. Table that means.

164
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: You're three guaranteed starters next.

165
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: Year, liberator who made twenty nine, stars did excellent in

166
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: terms of what they were looking for him to. Do

167
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: still plenty to build, on but like a quality number

168
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: four Guy michael, McGreevey same kind of boat As libby

169
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,119
Speaker 1: right there in the middle of the. Rotation and Anjre

170
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: filante who struggled this year and has work to do

171
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: if he wants to be a viable rotation option next.

172
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: Year so that's three options if we're being, generous two

173
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: and a half if we're being, real and no baseball

174
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: team can get through one hundred and sixty two games

175
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: with two and a half starting. Pitchers so very very

176
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: important for The cardinals to see if they have something

177
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: In Kyle, lahey because while there are arms in TRIPLE,

178
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: A Quinn matthews is, Exciting Liam doyle obviously very exciting

179
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: high And bloom is not going to rush pitching development

180
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: for the expense of benefiting the major league. Team that's

181
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: just not what he's. Done that's not what he's done In.

182
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: Tampa that's not what he did With, boston and that's

183
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: not what The cardinals should do. Now so find out

184
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: what you have, internally maybe you find out something that

185
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: you didn't know you had In Kyle. LAHY i think

186
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: all the sign there where this is going to be

187
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: a successful move for. Them so let's see Come jupiter

188

Speaker 1: before we move on to our next. Segment it is unbelievably,

190
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: impressive remarkably impressive that The Saint Was cardinals had all

191
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: five of their pitchers stay off the injured. List we'll

192
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: throw An Eric petty in there as, well so Six

193
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: John king the only pitcher that went on the. Aisle in,

194
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: totality they had all five of their guys that finished the.

195
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: Season So Sunny Miles, Polante libby McGreevy made at least

Speaker 1: prefer to stay In Saint.

253
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: Louis he wants to be a part of this rebuilt, process.

254
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: But he is if something opens up where it would

255
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: benefit both him and the, team open to at least

256
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: exploring what that looks. Like so a little bit more

257
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: detail you can find on the Athletic, YES i did

258
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: it right this. Time when we talked To wilson and

259
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: he was As Wilson conturras as it. Gets he was

260
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: super honest about where he. Feels he, said he likes,

261
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: challenges he wants to be part of the. Process he

262
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: understands that the focus going forward is going to be

263
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: a little bit on player, development and he. Prayed and

264
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: this is a theme that we've heard from a lot

265
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: of different players who have had conversations with Him bloom.

266
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: Already he praised the transparency from him about the direction

267
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: of this, franchise AND i.

268
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: Think fans will actually get a chance to hear that

269
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: themselves On.

270
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: Tuesday, well more about that later in the, show but For,

271
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: Conturrists i'll just go ahead and read a couple of

272
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: quotes on what he's, thinking because he has two years

273
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: remaining on his deal out about thirty six million dollars

274
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: thirty six point five not including a five million dollar

275
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: buyout that the club has at the end of the

276
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seventh, Season so a significant amount of money

277
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: still on that, contract but nothing like super egregious for

278
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: given What conturist does and what he. Produces here's What

279
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: contura said to us about his conversation with Heim. Bloom he,

280
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: SAID i told Him i'd like to be a part

281
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: of the. Process i'd like to be a part of

282
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: a young team that's going to need to have some

283
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: kind of experience around. Them that's WHAT i. Expressed bloom

284
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: understood THAT i want to be a part of this,

285
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: process BUT i also understand that this is part of the.

286
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: Business then we asked him if something opened up that

287
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: made sense for him and the, team would he consider,

288
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: It and he, said if something comes up and makes

289
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: a lot of sense For bloom and the organization and

290
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: makes sense for me in my, future then we'll talk about.

291
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: That but as of right, NOW i, SAID i would

292
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: like to be a part of the.

293
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: Process so we ask them to. Elaborate because When, contrarast

294
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: just Like, arnatto just Like Sunny, gray came To Saint,

295
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: louis it was about being a part of a winning

296
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: organization and in the postseason and all the stuff that

297
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: we know we thought we were going to see and.

298
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: Didn't and this is where THAT i like challenges quote

299
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: comes from the Ac here in the, Headline contrera, SAYS

300
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: i know The cardinals have a track record of winning

301
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: and being a winning. TEAM i know that right now

302
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: we don't have a winning, team BUT i know we

303
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: have talent. Here everything starts in the. MINORS i understand

304
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: that it might take three to five years to be

305
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: a playoff team or contend for A World. Series even

306
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: If i'm no longer, HERE i still feel LIKE i

307
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: could be a part of that BECAUSE i helped the young.

308
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: Guys he went on to, say it's a weird situation

309
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: right now because we aren't. Winning But i'm not concerned

310
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: about my. Future i'm not concerned about anything else besides

311
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: The cardinals BECAUSE i signed here and this is the

312
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: PLACE i wanted to. Be it's still the same. Way

313
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: SO i would be surprised If Wilson contreras is traded this.

314
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Offseason it's not a for sure no or you, know

315
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: things could, change BUT i think the likelihood of players

316
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: being traded remains ARE nato One grade two and then

317
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: a significant gap before contrarists at. Three would that complicate

318
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: things for the? ROSTER i think that's a common argument

319
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: in terms of reducing the redundancy as currently. Constructed, yes

320
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: but let me tell you.

321
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: Something let me tell you. Something this is not the

322
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: same roster that we're going to.

323
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 4: See.

324
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: OKAY i will have an off season primer around the

325
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: athletic after a couple days of hibernation where we break

326
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: down all of the different. Deadlines but this is roster

327
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: is going to be. Revamped you got a non tender

328
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: deadline coming up In. NOVEMBER i would imagine a lot

329
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: of forty men roster moves are. Made you have some positional,

330
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: redundancies specifically with your, lefties and if you have this,

331
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: group let's take this group of four all Le Victor

332
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: scott the second out of, here because this doesn't really

333
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: apply to. Him it's a different. Position of the four

334
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: lefties that are kind of caught in this rotat or position, Logjam.

335
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: Brendan, Donovan lars New, bar Al, Erlison Nolan.

336
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: Gorman two of those four, lefties in my, opinion are

337
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: in my, opinion are going to be traded over the

338
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: off season because you have. To you have to eliminate

339
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: this roster log, jam this roster. REDUNDANCY i don't know

340
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: which of the two lefties are gonna, go BUT i

341
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: would be very very surprised if, three if two of

342
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: all four are, back that's not. Happening i'd be very

343
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: very surprised if if three out of the four. Back,

344
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: AGAIN i don't know which ones are likely more likely

345
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: to go than. Others things will play into this contract,

346
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: status r, viers money made like those are all organization.

347
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: Decisions some of them, ownership some of them front.

348
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: Office it will also depend on who can get them

349
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: the best return. Package because this is what a rebuild. Is,

350
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: AGAIN i will preface that this is not a, teardown

351
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: and the word rebuild has this like negative. AURA i get,

352
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: it because most teams that rebuild completely tear. Down this

353
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: is like by definition of, rebuild but not nearly to

354
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: that degree that we might think when we hear that.

355
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: Word so if the goal here is to to find

356
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: prospects and find players that are going to exedite this,

357
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 1: rebuild you're going to trade the players that can give

358
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: you the best. RETURN i don't know out Of, Donovan,

359
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: Newbar girlson And gorman who those two, are but that

360
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: would be how The cardinals can Keep Wilson contraras and

361
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: also not further clog up their. Roster, so LIKE i,

362
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: said as, advertising you're gonna be a lot of busy

363
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: news over this. Offseason so whatever we experienced last, year

364
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: remember when we started the, show when we had the

365
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: same episode twenty episodes in a row because the didn't do,

366
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: ANYTHING i would not expect that to be the. Same

367
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: the show will continue in the off, season by the,

368
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: way we just won't do it as, often probably two

369
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: times a week if. That and then When i'm ON,

370
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,520
