He's standing on the cage in 16 00:00:58,920 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 3: a quarter zip. 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 4: Before quarters zips were cool. Now kids go to like 18 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 4: Ross or TJ Max just to find two quarter zips 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 4: that match each other, to clown people that wear quarter zips. 20 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: Wow. 21 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: Quarter zips are the best. 22 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 3: They're the sun dress for men because you can wear 23 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 3: them if you need a collared shirt. You can wear 24 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: them if you're nice, right, if you like, if you 25 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 3: go to a place that requires a collar shirt, you 26 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 3: put a quarter zip on it has a collar. 27 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: You can fold them like this is a collared shirt. 28 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 3: But then if you want to go work out, you 29 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 3: also have the quarter zip and you have like a 30 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: crappy one. You can sweat it in a little bit. 31 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 3: And then if you want to go somewhere really nice, 32 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 3: you throw the quarter zip over your nice. 33 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: Button up shirt. It kind of goes with everything in 34 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: every situation. 35 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 3: You wear them with shorts, you can wear them with pants, 36 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 3: wear them when it's cold, wear them when it's hot. 37 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 4: It's you're an outfitman. You're an outfitman. I have to 38 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 4: do something where I was told to dress casual for 39 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 4: a presentation of something this weekend. Can I wear my 40 00:01:59,240 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 4: quarter zip? 41 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that's that's business casual. But it takes it 42 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 3: up another lotch over, just like jeans and like a 43 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 3: golf shirt, because what's a long sleeve? 44 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 4: What about Hey dudes? Can I wear hay dudes or 45 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 4: do I need to wear like some nice I. 46 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 2: Don't even know what dudes are. I don't even know 47 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 2: what hay dudes are. 48 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: Sounds like a future sponsor. 49 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: Alert sounds like sounds like what I wipe my butt with. 50 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: Oh well, that's coming up at the end of the show, 51 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: the ultimate tease. But let's let's charge right now because 52 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: we have a ton to get to. 53 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 4: Charge. 54 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: They had been pursuing him since November, and in early February, 55 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: the Seattle Mariners get their guy, Brendan Donovan. Come on down, 56 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: little third base, maybe lead off, left handed hitter on 57 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: base machine aj. I think this is a massive move 58 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: for the Mariners. That was a must for them to 59 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: feel satisfied this offseason. 60 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 3: You, yeah, this is he fits perfect in their line 61 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 3: if he's left handed, right, he plays second base, he 62 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: gets on base for him. 63 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: They lost Polanka, they lost Suarez. This is a. 64 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: Great fit, and they gave up, you know, a couple 65 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 3: of their prospects. So what Brandon Donovan's a proven guy, 66 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 3: He's been to the All Star Game. You know he's 67 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 3: gonna hit you know what he's gonna give you. So 68 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: I love this move for Seattle. And why does Tampa 69 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 3: Bay always get involved in three team trains? Like Tampa 70 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: Bay is always the team you call and they're like, hey, 71 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 3: will you just throw in somebody so we'll give you 72 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 3: a random prospect. Tampa's is like, sure, we got nothing 73 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: else happening. We haven't done something for a while. Well, yeah, 74 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 3: we'll be the third team in a trade. 75 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: Yep, you need a pick in a prospect, We've got 76 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: one for you. Oh you've got Ben Williamson who we 77 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: can bounce all around the diamond. Yes, please, there's the 78 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: full trade. We're gonna learn about the prospect package soon 79 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 1: from JJ Cooper and Ken Rosenthal's going to break down 80 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: some sides of this trade as well. But yes, Ben 81 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: Williamson did play this past season at third for the Mariners. 82 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: Looks like he could be a really good defender. The 83 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: Rays have already talked about playing him at third. Short 84 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: second tune action, the bat might be a little bit 85 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: light to be a full time third baseman. He also 86 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: just got to the league, so let's give him a 87 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: time to breathe. But wait back to the Mariners for 88 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: a moment. Kratz and and AJ Just for clarification, I 89 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: think Donovan's going to play mostly third. I know he 90 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: can bounce around, but if Cole Young plays well, then 91 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: Donovan can play third for them. Second base is probably 92 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: his most natural spot, but he's got the ability to 93 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: swing around. 94 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 2: He's play mostly second base in his career though. 95 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's true. But so let's just I'll paint 96 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: one of the lineups for you from Fangrafts. Against right 97 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: he's Donovan leading off third. Then you've got Cal Julio Naylor, 98 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: Randy Rosarina, dom can Zone, who's the guy against right 99 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: handed pitchers and usually sits against lefties. JP Crawford, Victor Roeblaze, 100 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: Cole Young. Nice balance. What do you think, Kratz? 101 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 4: Did you say, Julio, I'm not looking at the image 102 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 4: you're saying, Yeah, yeah, okay. 103 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: I was. I Like. 104 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 4: Before Donovan, I would agree they would have been one 105 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 4: short with Donovan to me, whether it's like Aj said, 106 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 4: he plays second, which is where he's played the most, 107 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 4: or he plays third. They have Colt Emerson and they 108 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,119 Speaker 4: have Cole Young. Seems like they're gonna give Cole Young 109 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 4: that opportunity first. But this is when I have problems 110 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 4: with teams who are like, Yep, this is the guy 111 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 4: he's gonna go play. He's gonna be the future of 112 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 4: our team at third base. It's so tough for prospects 113 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: to hit right away when they come up. This Brandon 114 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 4: Donovan trade allows them to say, Okay, you're playing third 115 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 4: because today we see Cole Young being being here and 116 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 4: he's better for our team at second base. Cole Young 117 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 4: makes the team, it doesn't work out well. Colt Emerson, 118 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 4: who has only crushed it in the minor leagues, continues 119 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 4: to crush in the bushes. Maybe there's a shift if 120 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 4: Cole Young is there. It's such a great it's such 121 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 4: a great problem to have, and I think the Mariners 122 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 4: have done an incredible job of giving themselves more depth 123 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 4: than they ever have and they are not sitting on 124 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 4: their hands with this team that was on the precipice 125 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 4: of making the World Series last year. 126 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: What about the rest of the package. So we'll talk 127 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: about the Cardinals racking up picks. I mean, they have 128 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: a ton of picks coming up in the twenty twenty 129 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: six draft, six of the top eighty six. I have 130 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: to they acquired two picks. Has been able to unload 131 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: aj Suddi grad. 132 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 3: But he's got prospects too, don't forget in this trade. 133 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 3: Yes he got he got what three prospects in this dude? 134 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 3: Since what's his name? 135 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: Since I don't know, since I'm actually going to help 136 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: you out with that, can we can we throw to 137 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: JJ Cooper to help learn about what the return package 138 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: is and then we can hear how he pronounces it. 139 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 5: So we had a three team deal, not surprisingly involved 140 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 5: Seattle and Tampa Bay, two of the teams that are 141 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 5: most willing to trade. But we're just going to look 142 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 5: at the prospects on this portion here. So what did 143 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 5: the Cardinals get get back? Prospect wise? I would say 144 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 5: that they got a number of kind of intriguing pieces, 145 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 5: all of whom kind of aren't perfect prospects, but all 146 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 5: have kind of characteristics that you could be really interested in. 147 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 5: The top prospect that came back is clearly Durandelo Cinca. 148 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 5: You could call him the switch pitcher. Although predominantly a 149 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 5: right handed pitcher, he does throw left handed as well. 150 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 5: He can throw lefty in games, but predominantly a right 151 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 5: hander who if he's going to start, is going to 152 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 5: be a right handed starter who always has the ability 153 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 5: to flip over and throw a lefty slider in a 154 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 5: tough matchup at times. But he's an intriguing starting pitching 155 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 5: prospect who has it's not that far away, but at 156 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 5: the same time also hasn't kind of put everything together yet. 157 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 5: He's not a top hundred prospect for US, but he's 158 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 5: not that far off the top hundred. He's kind of 159 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 5: on that cusp of the top hundred. He's the primary prospect. 160 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 5: I would say that they got back, but you also 161 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 5: need to keep an eye on Ty Pete, who also 162 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 5: came back from the Mariners. We had Cincho ranked as 163 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 5: number seven on our Mariners Top thirty, and we had 164 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 5: Pete ranked tenth on our. 165 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 2: Marin's Top thirty. 166 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 5: Pete has a lot of athleticism, a lot of tools. 167 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 5: Showed some power last year, but there's also a lot 168 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 5: of swing and miss. Is an outfielder who, if everything clicks, 169 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 5: could really be an everyday regular. But at the same time, 170 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 5: with the strikeout Rady has, there's no sure bet that 171 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 5: he's going to that everything's going to click, or that 172 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 5: he could even be a big leaguer. He's going to 173 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 5: have to make some improvements. And then from the Rays 174 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 5: comes over Colton Ledbetter, who is kind I would say, 175 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 5: kind of the antithesis in some ways of Pete. If 176 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 5: Pete is really flashy, tools led Better's more of kind 177 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 5: of a whole lot of solid tools and skills. There's 178 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 5: not a whole lot of power here, although he hits 179 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 5: the ball harder than his home run numbers will kind 180 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 5: of give you evidence of He's played center and right field. 181 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 5: The Rays kind of viewed him as a right fielder. 182 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 5: Maybe the Mariners see if he can play center, maybe 183 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 5: they can improve his defense because he has athleticism. He's 184 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 5: also a pretty successful base stealer. Was not on the 185 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 5: Rays top thirty, but that race top thirty is very deep, 186 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 5: and you don't want to forget about. Maybe one of 187 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 5: the key things here that is definitely we're paying attention 188 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 5: to is the Also the two compensatory picks their competitive 189 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 5: pounds PETE B picks, which means they go after the 190 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 5: second round sixty eighth and seventy second picks. But those 191 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 5: are not just two picks. That's going to be another 192 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 5: two point five million or so in bonus pool allotment 193 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 5: that will allow the Cardinals to spend more than almost 194 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 5: anybody in the draft in twenty twenty six. So that's 195 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 5: the prospect return in the three team Cardinals Mariners raise trade. 196 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: I I'm bloom getting the job done. AJ. He did 197 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: everything you needed to do in terms of the rebuild 198 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: so far and offloading all of these veteran players to 199 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: get nice return packages. 200 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, was it Senja Sja Durangeloa Sanja. So two things 201 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 3: about him. One, I just before this trade, the mariner 202 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 3: said he was only going to pitch right handed, so 203 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 3: the switch pitcher thing is not the thing. And then also, 204 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 3: I remember my son's team went and played in a 205 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 3: tournament and his team was there and all the scouts 206 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 3: are there to see him throw with both arms, and 207 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 3: the coaches like, yeah, he's not going to pitch in 208 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: this tournament, and the scouts were like, well, we only 209 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 3: came to see him. The scout's like, we don't care, 210 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 3: he's not pitching, and so the scout's all left. It 211 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 3: was kind of funny, but because they wanted to see 212 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: a guy that get throw in ninety with both hands, 213 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: and now he's only a right handed pitcher. But this 214 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 3: is kind of what the Cardinals need to do. It 215 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: restocks their farm system, They get rid of one of 216 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 3: their better assets, they get players. Hein Bloom did this 217 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 3: in Boston too. Let's not forget when he had to 218 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 3: trade Mookie Betts and redo that whole thing. Hein Bloom 219 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 3: came from the race. He knows how to develop organizations. 220 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 3: He knows how to develop talent. He knows how to 221 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 3: build talent inside an organization. So for the Cardinals, yes, 222 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: it's going to suck for a few years. This is 223 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: a win for the Mariners, absolutely, this is a win 224 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 3: for right now because they're trying to win right now, 225 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 3: keep up with the Blue Jays, Yankees, Red Sox and 226 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 3: the rest of the teams in the American League. For 227 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 3: the Rays, the Rays never seemed to miss on a trade, 228 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 3: so yeah, it's a win for all. 229 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: This is one of those trades. It seems like a 230 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: help all three teams. 231 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: This was a good staredown too. Let's bring in FT 232 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: senior insider Ken Rosenthal. So it appeared as if Ken 233 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: the Giants signing Luisa Rise might have helped to push 234 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: this one across the finish line that began in November. 235 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: What else can you tell us. 236 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 6: Actually, Scott, that's not my understanding as far as the 237 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 6: Arise piece is concerned. These teams were down the line 238 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 6: when that happened. The Giants didn't have a piece like 239 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 6: Jerangelo Sinta, and that was the difference in the two 240 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 6: teams and what they were offering. There were other teams 241 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 6: involved as well. The Red Sox were involved, the Royals 242 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 6: were involved at various points. The Dodgers, as always, were lurking. 243 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 6: But in the end, the Cardinals needed the third team, 244 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 6: Tampa Bay, to get exactly what they wanted because with 245 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 6: Ben Williamson going to Tampa Bay, that enabled Tampa Bay 246 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 6: to send the Cardinals an additional pick and an additional player, 247 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 6: and that is what ultimately led to this deal coming 248 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 6: to fruition. 249 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: All right, so what do you think of the impact 250 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: for the Mariners and how badly they needed to pull 251 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: this off? Ken Also, if you want to mix in 252 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: some parts from your story this morning on a very 253 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: unique day for the Seattle front office. 254 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 6: Well, I love it for the Mariners, and I'm a 255 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 6: Brendan Donovan fan. It seems to me that virtually everyone 256 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 6: is a Brendan Donovan fan. And he'll go at the 257 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 6: top of their order, most likely will start the season 258 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 6: at third base. They were talking about bringing their top prospect, 259 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 6: Colt Emerson to the big leagues playing him at third, 260 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 6: but with Donovan, you don't have to do that now 261 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 6: he can play other positions as well, and if Cole 262 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 6: Young struggles at second base, or if they need someone 263 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 6: to fill in in the outfield, Brendan Donovan can do that. 264 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 6: And offensively, this is really the key for the Mariners 265 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 6: top of the order, in front of Raleigh and Julio 266 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 6: and a ros Arena and that gang, and then at 267 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 6: the bottom of the order with j Crawford and Cole 268 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 6: Young being contact guys, that gives them a little bit 269 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 6: of a different look. With Brendan Donovan also being someone 270 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 6: who puts the ball in play, it's a much more 271 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 6: intriguing looking offense than it has been. And for that reason, 272 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 6: and I forgot to mention Naylor. Of course, this is 273 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 6: a very intriguing trade for the Mariners, and they gave 274 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 6: up a good amount. Sandra is, by some estimations, a 275 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 6: top one hundred prospect. The outfielder Typete is a guy 276 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 6: who is kind of a flyer, a chance you take 277 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 6: high upside if it happens. And then the pick as well. 278 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 6: But with Williamson, he was expendable once they got Donovan, 279 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 6: so for then this was a move he had that 280 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 6: they had to make. Now, as for the story I 281 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 6: wrote today, I learned last night that the Mariners kind 282 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 6: of learned that they had an agreement, not kind of 283 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 6: they learned they had an agreement when they were at 284 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 6: the Washington State Capitol in Olympia, Washington yesterday. The States 285 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 6: Senate there was adopting a proclamation basically hailing the Mariners 286 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 6: and cal Rally for his historic season, for the Mariners, 287 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 6: for their great year. And at that moment when they 288 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 6: were reading the proclamation, Justin Hollander, the Mariners GM got 289 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 6: a text. It was part of a group text with 290 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 6: hein Bloom, the Cardinals president baseball Operations, and hein Bloom said, 291 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 6: Hollander start the medicals were good to go, meaning they 292 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 6: had an agreement and that they had to next finalize 293 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 6: the medicals and review the medicals. That this takes place 294 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 6: with every trade. And that is how on a day 295 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 6: that the people were at the state House they came 296 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 6: to get Brendan Donovan. 297 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 4: I want to ask about the person who just brought 298 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 4: up hein Bloom. Obviously everybody says hein Bloom traded mooky Bets. Okay, 299 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 4: ownership made hein Bloom get rid of Mooky Bets. I 300 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 4: felt like that transition year where him was kind of 301 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 4: helping in the minor leagues, helping the structure the infrastructure 302 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 4: was going to be Moe's opportunity to to mozae Lock 303 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 4: the previous GM to get rid of these guys, and 304 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 4: now him had to come in. Is him's legacy going 305 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 4: to be very similar in Saint Louis as it is 306 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 4: in Boston. Obviously we don't know the future. But is 307 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 4: it fair to heinm Bloom to make him make these moves? 308 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 6: He knew what he was getting into, and last year 309 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 6: with moze Lock, in his final year, Mozelac was not 310 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 6: willing and maybe ownership was not willing to go to 311 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 6: these lengths to start the rebuilding process. 312 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: They were kind of. 313 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 6: Waiting for hein Bloom to be that guy. Now, when 314 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 6: you embark upon something like this, and remember they've traded 315 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 6: Sonny Gray and Wilson Contreras and of course now as 316 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 6: well Brendan Donovan, you know that it's going to be painful. 317 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 6: Cardinals fans know it's going to be painful, and Cardinals fans, 318 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 6: the knowledgeable ones understand that this was probably overdue. So 319 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 6: I don't know that heim Bloom is being looked at 320 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 6: in a negative way in Saint Louis. The Boston situation 321 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 6: was entirely different, Eric, and you alluded to it. Ownership 322 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 6: basically forced that deal by not signing bets Heim. 323 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: Bloom didn't make a great deal. 324 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 6: I don't know that it was going to be easy 325 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 6: for him to make a great deal with one year 326 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 6: of Mooky left at a big salary number, so and 327 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 6: with the Dodgers also taking on David Price and the 328 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 6: rest of his money. 329 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: So that was one job. 330 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 6: This is another job and another task entirely. And I 331 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 6: would say that we don't know exactly how this is 332 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 6: going to turn out. But the direction he has taken 333 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 6: with this team, that is the proper direction. This is 334 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 6: what they need to do at this moment in time 335 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 6: in their evolution as an organization. And the moves that 336 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 6: he has made so far have been pointing toward a 337 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 6: better future. Whether it transpires or not, whether he picked 338 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 6: the right guys, that remains to be seen. But I 339 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 6: will go back to one trade he made in Boston. 340 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 6: I'll go back to a couple things. Actually, the trade 341 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 6: of Christian Vasquez to the Astros that brought them back 342 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 6: will your or bray you pretty good trade. It was 343 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 6: one that I actually criticized at the time. A lot 344 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 6: of people did thought it was unnecessary. And then you 345 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 6: look at some of the young players that they have 346 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 6: in the big leagues right now. These were guys drafted 347 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 6: under heinm Bloom, developed under heinm Bloom. So his legacy 348 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 6: in Boston is not simply the Mookie Bets trade. It's 349 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 6: a lot of what is going on there in a 350 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 6: positive way. 351 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: Right now. 352 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 3: Ken Heim Bloom used to work for the Rays. How 353 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 3: did the Rays always end up in a three team 354 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 3: trade and they're always like, hey, we'll just take the 355 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 3: last player something like that. How do they always end 356 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 3: up in these trades? Because it always seems like if 357 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 3: there's a three team trade, somehow the Rays are involved 358 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 3: getting a player, giving up a draft pick, whatever it is. 359 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 3: How do they do this every time? 360 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 6: Aj, You're absolutely right. They are willing on these kinds 361 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 6: of deals and they are able. And John Becker from 362 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 6: Fangrafts last night posted something on x which he said, 363 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 6: I believe six of the last seven to three team 364 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 6: trades have involved the Rays, and clearly they are in 365 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 6: many cases a facilitator in these deals. So in this case, 366 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 6: Seattle and Saint Louis couldn't quite match up. They talked 367 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 6: about this starting in November Worth three months later now, 368 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 6: and they had yet to match up. The Rays found 369 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 6: a way, as I mentioned earlier, by taking Williamson from 370 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 6: the Mariners and then sending additional capital to the Cardinals. 371 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 6: That was a way to satisfy the Cardinals in a 372 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 6: way that the Mariners were not able to do on 373 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 6: their own. 374 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 375 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 6: That in each case it's been the same kind of 376 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 6: role in some of these trades. I'm sure they were 377 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 6: the principal team looking for the third team. But as 378 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 6: John Becker tweeted right there or posted, I should say 379 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 6: they have a knack for doing this kind of thing. 380 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 4: At the beginning, when you first came on, you said 381 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 4: three of three of Scott's favor words the Red Sox 382 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 4: were in. I guess that's four the Red Sox were 383 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 4: in in on. So anyway, what's next for the Red Sox? 384 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 4: I essentially they've been in on so many guys and 385 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 4: just so they've missed out. But what's next or what 386 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 4: are you hearing is next for them? 387 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 6: They need an infielder and preferably a right handed hitter. 388 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 6: Donovan actually was not a great fit for them in 389 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 6: that respect. He's a left handed hitter, but the roster 390 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 6: that they have is largely left handed, so ideally it's 391 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 6: a right handed guy to play second base. Sombayer can 392 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 6: play third. Whether they accomplish that or not, I'm not 393 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 6: sure they'll be able to. It's getting late in the offseason. 394 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 6: The options are dwindling. If you want Nico Horner from 395 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 6: the Cubs, you better be prepared to give up an 396 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 6: awful lot. The Cubs do not want to trade him, 397 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 6: so I don't know exactly where this is going with them. 398 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 6: Clearly though, they need that additional bat, that one more 399 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 6: offensive piece. The guy who would have been perfect was 400 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 6: katel Marte. But kateel Marte, as the Diamondbacks stand right now, 401 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 6: is not getting traded. 402 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: What's the one thing you say? Aj, Everyone likes money, 403 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: You want money. You can sell this thing, this this 404 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: arbitration case alone. I think you could sell for more 405 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: than the price of one regular season game. I think 406 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: it would be that popular for fans to watch how 407 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: this goes down and how you make a case for 408 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: Terrek School not being good at baseball. We need not 409 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: be good enough to be what. 410 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 4: We'd need to warm up first, like this would be 411 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 4: like a boxing match where we need a couple like 412 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,239 Speaker 4: preliminary fights, so that fans kind of like, what is this? 413 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 4: I don't even know what this is? Arbitration? Millionaires, billionaires, 414 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 4: what's going on? And then bang six o'clock at the 415 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 4: Polestra in Phoenix, Scott Boris versus Bob Bamfred Fred. 416 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a little warm up, a little appetizer 417 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: of esak paratus. Oh no, wait, he just settled with 418 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: the astro. Sorry, that one's wipe. That's actually a true story. 419 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: I'll be here all day, but AJ, Yeah, this is fascinating. 420 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: I know that if you just look at David Price's 421 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: nineteen point seventy five million, which is the record in 422 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: ARB for a pitcher, and you slap inflation on it 423 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: from eleven years, it's twenty seven million dollars. That's without 424 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: looking at Schooble's accualades. Yeah, there's multiple arguments. How about 425 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: the argument of who's making more money right now than 426 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: Schooble and how he's better than all of them and 427 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: he's allowed to compare himself to free agents. Sure you 428 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: want to call me biased on this one? Here actually 429 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: this will state it right. AJ. For example, you and 430 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: Jim Boden will have many head to head battles over 431 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: how the CBA is going to go down. Right, Boden 432 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: is saying like, nobody has a chance if you're a 433 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: small market team. Blah blah blah ah. That right, Boden 434 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: is like, if this case doesn't go to Schooble, everything 435 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: makes no sense. 436 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 3: That's that's my point. What did I just say to Ken? 437 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 3: I've been saying that from the get go. Remember this 438 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 3: is not just about Terrek Scooble. This is about the 439 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 3: CBA and baseball going forward. So that's why this number 440 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 3: is huge. 441 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 2: This number is. 442 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 3: If you're a player, If you're a player out there 443 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,239 Speaker 3: and you're watching this or you're listening to this, you 444 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 3: need to be rooting. 445 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: For Trek Schooble. If you're Paul Skeins, you need to 446 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 2: be rooting for Trek Scouoble in this case. 447 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,959 Speaker 3: If you're any player, if you're in high school, if 448 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 3: you're in college and you think you have a chance 449 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 3: to get to the major leagues, you need to be 450 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 3: rooting for Trek Scooble in this case. If you're a 451 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 3: fan of baseball players in general, and you can say 452 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: they make too much money. Trek Scooble, you need to 453 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 3: be rooting for. I just it's one of those landmark 454 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 3: cases in the history of the game for arbitration. Obviously, 455 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 3: it's not free agency and some of the other things 456 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 3: that have gone down Jackie Robinson and all those great 457 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 3: things that have happened, but for arbitration, and if you 458 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 3: are on the player's side at all, you need to 459 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 3: be rooting for Trek Scooble. And again, I firmly believe 460 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: Scott Boris is probably gonna argue this case himself, which 461 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 3: he's done a lot of. I think he's argued I 462 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 3: looked up the numbers fifty plus in his day personally, 463 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 3: not saying like one of his other guys, but Scott himself. 464 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 3: So I'm guarantee you And if what I know about Scott, 465 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 3: they probably had him in a room for the last 466 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 3: week and have fired everything in the world at Scott 467 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 3: Boris to get him mentally prepared. He's gonna be like 468 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 3: a UFC fighter, like a boxer, like when they come 469 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 3: to the ring. 470 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 2: He's gonna be like. 471 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 3: Frothing at the mouth right perfect weigh in shape right, 472 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 3: ready to fight. And to guarantee you, the owners have 473 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 3: done the same thing. 474 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 2: On their side. 475 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 3: They've got their best whoever their best guy is, whoever 476 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 3: that is has been in a room for a week 477 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 3: and just everything, and they're gonna both try to get 478 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 3: the other guy off their game, and at the end 479 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 3: of the day, whoever's better is gonna win. But I 480 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 3: just the arguments are all for schoobl because he doesn't 481 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 3: even have to prove thirty two. 482 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 2: He's got to prove twenty five. Okay, and if you. 483 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 3: Look at all the comps, he should be making more 484 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 3: than twenty five million. 485 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 2: Because he's allowed to use free agents. He should win. 486 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 3: But you know what that means, not a damn thing 487 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 3: in this game, because there's times where you look at 488 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 3: numbers you're like, this guy should win, and some reason 489 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 3: he loses and you never know why. 490 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 4: Twenty five twenty five to five and a dollar, right, 491 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 4: that's half nineteen nineteen to thirty two. 492 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 2: My math isn't mathing right now. It's yeah, well you 493 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,719 Speaker 2: got it, you got five. Yeah, that's what they need 494 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 2: to prove. 495 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 4: I've I've been calling different people this morning, like players 496 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 4: that I thought went to actual arbitration, like AJ did 497 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 4: just to like kind of get an idea. And one 498 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 4: of the guys was like, hey call this GM. So 499 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 4: I called the GM and he was like, he blew 500 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 4: my mind on this. He was like, look, he's like, 501 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 4: I believe that if you have a pissed off player, 502 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 4: your organization is not going to be in a good shape. 503 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 4: And I was like, okay, I completely agree with you. 504 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 4: And he said, honestly exactly what AJ said. This is 505 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 4: a Major League Baseball versus the Players Association. So why 506 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 4: are the teams even getting involved? Why are the teams 507 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 4: even saying, okay, we I'm not even sure who will 508 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 4: do it, because it's not gonna be Scott Harris for 509 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 4: the Tigers. It'll be the assistant GM, It'll be okay, trust, 510 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 4: it'll be an MLB generally. Generally, Scott Harris. 511 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 3: Will be sitting there. Scott Harris will be sitting there 512 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 3: across from Trek's school. And you're again you're staring at 513 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 3: When I did mine, it was Brian Saban ned Colletti. 514 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 3: They're across about eight feet away from you. Okay, there's 515 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 3: there's a two tables separated by about two feet in 516 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 3: between and you're sitting there and literally I'll never forget 517 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 3: to this day. Don't mind me, I'll have shoes on. 518 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 3: I walked in and Ned Colletti and Brian Sabian were 519 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 3: sitting there with their feet like this and cowboy boots 520 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 3: on the table. When I walked in, come on just 521 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 3: like that, I swear, and I was like, oh wow, 522 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 3: that's awesome. 523 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 4: Guys, the picture of arrogance and so. And then I 524 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 4: went in and they don't, they don't, they don't say anything. 525 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 4: It's the it's the owners. They have like a lawyer 526 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 4: that does all the argument. So I don't know who 527 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 4: it would be. 528 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 3: No, what's his name, Noah Haile Scott you know the 529 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 3: millb staffing way better whoever the territory host territory. 530 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 2: Well, anyway he cares because for skiing. 531 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: It's not no Guarden, that's no, it's not No, it 532 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: wouldn't be. I mean Dan Halem is one of the 533 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: top lawyers who's been there forever with Rob. But I 534 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: don't know who. I think they have specific our guys 535 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: Morgan it's the top guy there, but I think it's 536 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: probably someone that works below them. 537 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 3: They'll use their top but they'll just sit there, the 538 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 3: GM and the player. You're told not to say anything. 539 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 3: You just sit there like this and you just listen 540 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 3: to them, and they're literally there are times that they 541 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 3: just make stuff up. I mean, my case is forever 542 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 3: ago now, but I'm just like I'm because they tell 543 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 3: you at the time. Michael Wiener for the Players Association, 544 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 3: my agent's sitting next to me and they're like, whatever 545 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 3: they say, just don't react. And they were saying some 546 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 3: outlanda ship, and I was like, trying not to turn red. 547 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 3: Just one of the arguments against me I'll never forget 548 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 3: was I went up. So when I went, it's not 549 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 3: way different money. But I went for a record for 550 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 3: first year ARB catchers. Okay, three point five million. The 551 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 3: Giants countered at two two five, right, And I'm like, 552 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 3: and they wouldn't go when we tried to get something 553 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 3: done before, they wouldn't go above two five. And I go, well, 554 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 3: I got a chance to win one point two five 555 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 3: or lose two hundred and fifty thousand. I'm like, I'll 556 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 3: take my shot for the three point five, right. So 557 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 3: we go into this meeting and Michael Wiener was all 558 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 3: about it because it would have raised the bar big 559 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 3: time for catchers because catchers the time, we're get paid shit, 560 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 3: and so we do our whole thing and da da 561 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 3: da da dah. And one of the arguments was I'll 562 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 3: never get this. They go, well, Prazinski last year had 563 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 3: seven pass balls or whatever it was, and they go, 564 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 3: Jason Veritek only had six, and he catches Tim Wakefield, 565 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 3: the knuckleballer, every time he pitches. And I'm like, no, 566 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 3: he doesn't even catch. It's Mirabelly that catches him every time. 567 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 3: And I'm like trying that, and I just that sticks 568 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 3: in my head, like they just make things up. But 569 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 3: then you have to remember the arbitrators they don't know. 570 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 2: They don't know. 571 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 3: Who does what really, because they're not really baseball people. 572 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 3: They're just salary arbitrators that don't really know baseball. So 573 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,479 Speaker 3: just things like that, and you're just like, what can 574 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 3: they say about tick scougble? You ever hurt your first 575 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 3: couple of years, but then since then you've won two 576 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 3: cy youngs. 577 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 2: I don't know. 578 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: We actually have a tweet. We have a tweet that 579 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: picked up some attention. I don't know. This might just 580 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: be a random fan, or it might be somebody in 581 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: the base pilogies in advance. I don't know, but I 582 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,959 Speaker 1: really respect the tweet. So I found it this morning, 583 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: and if we can queue it up and show it. 584 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: His name is Kyle. He put together something funny here, 585 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: Kyle Bland Bland Analytics Possible arguments against Schooble and arbitration. 586 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: Number one, our relievers got less playing time because of you. 587 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: That's selfish. Number two, you made our draft pick worse. 588 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,959 Speaker 1: Number three, we're running out of space in our trophy 589 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: room because of your cy Young Awards. Number four, you 590 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: make fan expectations too high and actually gets me thinking, Aja, 591 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: should he show up with his two Siang Award trophies 592 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: he's picked up the past two years in New York City. 593 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 3: That would be awesome if he showed up. He just 594 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 3: carried one in each arm and just sat him on 595 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 3: the table. He was like, oh, sorry, guys, little extra hardware. 596 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 3: I wanted you guys to be I mean. 597 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, hell yeah. What if I was him? 598 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 3: I mean, oh my gosh, I just I listen. I 599 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 3: know this is a big deal, but I just don't 600 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 3: know how. I don't know how he loses, and I 601 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 3: don't obviously don't want him to lose. 602 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 2: But let's go back to I don't know. I want 603 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 2: to go back to what Ken said. 604 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 3: What is it So if the Tigers win this arbitration 605 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 3: case and they have thirteen extra million, then they're gonna 606 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 3: go get somebody else maybe to help their team. But 607 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 3: if they lose it, then they can't afford it. Well, 608 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 3: you want to talk about making Schooble feel like crap 609 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 3: even more after going in there bad mouthing him, Then 610 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 3: you're telling him that because he wants the money, he's 611 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 3: worth that. Then they can't make their team better. Like 612 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 3: I guarantee if you went to Tyrek School and said 613 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 3: we'll give you twenty five million to save seven and 614 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 3: we can go get a better player, he probably would 615 00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 3: have said. 616 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: Yes, I think this is hilarious. Kratz. They might use 617 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: this in the case. They might say Schoogle makes us worse. 618 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: Why because if we have to pay him twelve million more, 619 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: then we're not going to give that to someone else, 620 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: so that will make us a little bit worse. I mean, 621 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what else they can say, so maybe 622 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: they'll just start coming up with things that make no sense. 623 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: And yes, I agree, it's very it's a very tough 624 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: look to examine their off season. It's one of the 625 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: more confusing off seasons. The stance is, we are good 626 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: and we are young, so we will be better. We 627 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: essentially haven't done anything, and we are keeping our asset 628 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: who is going to be a free agent after this year, 629 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: so we're not pushing Chips in with that asset a 630 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: number one, and we're not trading him away. That to 631 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: me is called the muddled middle. Now are they a contender? Sure? 632 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: Are they a playoff contender? Yes? But are they really 633 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: trying to win a World Series? 634 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 4: I mean if they saw what I mean, look at 635 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 4: the Mariners. Look what the Mariners have done. How close 636 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 4: they were to winning a World Series? And they have clearly? 637 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 4: Have they pushed all in? Have they signed somebody a 638 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 4: two hundred fifty million dollars No, And I hope fans 639 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 4: don't get that twisted about. That's what we're saying, like 640 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 4: teams need to do to go all in, They just 641 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 4: need to, like the Mariners. Perfect example for me, A 642 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 4: plus for this offseason for the Mariners. With this last 643 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 4: move that they made, the Tigers can't say. 644 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 6: Wow, we loved, we loved. 645 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 4: What was going on in the postseason last year. We're 646 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 4: just not gonna quite push for this year. I don't 647 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 4: think they can truly say that, and I hope after 648 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 4: this case is over that their goal is then, Hey, 649 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 4: you know what, we are pushing it. We're taking all 650 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 4: our chips and just like Teddy KGB says, it was 651 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 4: splash the pots. 652 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: You mean, you might need to tell kids the reference movie. 653 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 2: It's Rounders, the movie Rounders. 654 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 4: It's a good movie. I randomly had sitting over here too. 655 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: So we have a couple important things to do. It 656 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: looks like AJ has decided where he is going to 657 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: shift his rooting interest for Sunday. Biggest Seahawks fan on 658 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: the planet. Actually, this is a perfect time to tee 659 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: you up on this one. Before we get to anything else, 660 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: I'd like to queue up the story about your Chicago 661 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: White Sox AJ installing a bidet for Murakami and making 662 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: him feel at home. That is a thumbs up from you, 663 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: two thumbs up from me.
