WEBVTT - Discussing O's deadline trades of Rutschman, Ward, Wells and more 0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:11.160 Those fans. Trade deadline day was not dull. It was 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:16.200 a dizzying pace for the Baltimore Orioles. And welcome into 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.880 the Lace edition of Bertland Territory, where a two man 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.759 team tonight, Brad, we're missing our teammate who's doing some 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:26.159 national radio, Tim Barblace, So we'll see Tim in a 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.480 couple of days. And you and I got to get 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.640 through this the next thirty minutes, trying to keep pace 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:35.040 of what was looks like in Toronto Talley with six 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.400 players traded if you count the minor league right hander 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:41.319 they traded for the minor league outfielder at the very end, 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.400 and ten players and a player to be named later 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.960 coming back. It was a crazy day. This all started 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.560 Friday night. Deeen Kramer, of course, went for the eighteen 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:55.000 year old outfielder from the Twins Taylor Ward earlier today 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.000 went for three right handed pitchers, one of which could 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.560 go right to the Orioles roster if Alex Hoppy does 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:07.840 Adlei Rutchman and Jake Rogers were dealt for four players 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.080 had a player to be named later from Boston. That 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.759 was the blockbuster of the day where the Oriols got 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.319 a big haul of prospects. We're going to get into 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.119 that and traded the number one pick in the draft 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.520 in twenty nineteen and Adlie Rutchman. Later Todler Wells was 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.160 traded and they got Michael Farrett back a bitch or 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.399 I loved watching last year on the farm. I'm excited 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.800 to see him back, while we're not excited to see 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.919 Tyler go. And then finally, Joe Glassy double a reliever, 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.959 was traded to the Nationals for a triple after their 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:41.920 Christian Franklin. Yikes, Brad, what a day? What are your 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.560 what are your thoughts after last few hours? 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.920 Still I'm still trying to wrap my head around at all. 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.640 It's uh. I know, the last couple of episodes we've 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.520 been talking about Adlie going, and there was there was 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.480 some smoke there, but I just can't believe that it 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.360 was a full gone fire when it was all said 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.680 and done. You know, trading trade away Adley, obviously you 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.400 lose those other guys. 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.360 We had a feeling, you. 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:07.640 Know, Kramer one year of control left, but uh, it 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:11.320 wasn't shocked by that, but really just shocked by Adley 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.400 and then seeing uh, Taylor Ward. You know, that was 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.400 kind of the one we expected to go. But like 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.240 I said, it all comes back to Adlie. It's just 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.639 it's kind of hard to believe, honestly that it actually 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.239 got done. Like I said, we talked about it multiple times, 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.600 but the fact that I think the biggest chakra for 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.560 me was that was Indivision and that's like, you know, 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:31.480 we were talking about that the other day. It was 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.680 kind of like, yeah, the two teams that need to 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.600 catcher Yankees and the Red Sox. But it just seems 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.920 really hard that he's going to be going there and 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.200 that's that's where he went. And maybe they got the 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.959 indivision tax that was put on end, they got back 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.960 some good prospects and stuff like that, but it's just 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.519 you got to wonder where where they go from here. 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.359 You know, it's is it is it another rebuild, is 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:51.440 it a retool? Is it? 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.000 I'm just curious to see how they're going to kind 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.280 of phrase what they did today by the front office. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.960 So here, I think is the good news for Oriel fans. 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:06.840 And while this clearly was a selloff more than buying, 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.600 there were very few buy deals here. This was a 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.120 lot of selling went on today, And you know, I 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.000 think some people are going to parse it as the 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:19.440 Oils have given up on the season. To me, here's 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.040 where they're holding their last vestige of hope for this year. 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:29.480 Their rotation is still really good. Trevor Rodgers is still here, Bradish, 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.840 Boz and Young. That's a core four rotation that's been 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.920 good all year. And they're going to replace Dan Kramer 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.760 with We'll see. Is a Povich, is a Trey Gibson, 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.360 is a Chris Bassett. They'll find a replacement and Brad 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.280 that five may keep them in enough games. We know 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.360 the team has been inconsistent. They're four games under. Defenses 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.040 let them down, Offenses let them down. It just seems 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.480 like they're not going to be able to do it 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.960 this year. But they're close enough that if those guys 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.680 in the rotation keep doing their thing, it's still could 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:02.160 get exciting down the stretch. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.440 Yeah, I agree. I think it's kind of one of 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:04.880 those things. 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.640 I think you're in shock, and I'm really glad actually 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.560 today they had the off day because you can kind 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.320 of wrap your head around everything that went down, because 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.560 I mean, guys in the clubhops are obviously gonna know 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.680 about this. With the big names going and kind of 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.839 when you get in tomorrow it's gonna be a different feel. 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:20.640 So I think it's a good thing they have the 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.240 off day today and kind of just wrap your head 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:23.760 around what happened. But like you said, at the end 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.000 of the day, they're gonna have a really good starting 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.640 pitching still and guys are gonna get opportunities. And that's 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.680 kind of what I love about this now is that 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:32.880 you have a chance for guys to get every day 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.680 at bats, guys in the bullpen to really step up 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.440 and get a chance to close and pitch in the 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.080 eighth inning, pitch high leverage. So for me, it's I 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.000 kind of look at this for the guys still on 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:43.880 the roster is a huge opportunity at the rest of 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.120 the season, and they're still two months ago and they're 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.800 only two and a half games out, so it's kind 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.359 of one of those things guys got to step up, 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.080 but now they know who's going to be there, and 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.600 it's kind of like a wrap your head around this, Well, 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.400 let's go out there and continue to fight every day 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:57.880 and you just never know where the chips are gonna 0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:58.760 lie at the end of the season. 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.599 So here is potential short term replacements we mentioned Kramer, 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.360 You've got Bassett, Povich, Gibson, one of those three Ward. 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.520 Could he be replaced by Franklin the triple A outfielder 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.520 they acquired from the Nationals, Heston Kerstadt. Will he get 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.920 a chance to come back. Some fans are clamoring for 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:21.160 Enrique Bradfield junior is at his time there's an opening now, 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.680 would Taylor Ward traded Tyler Wells maybe opens the door 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.120 for Hoppy one of the relievers they acquired today And 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:33.200 Rutchman and Nirvaias are two catchers who were swapped and Nirvaia's. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.640 Brad actually had a really good twenty twenty five. He 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.840 had like two point eight war he threw out twenty 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.279 nine percent. Now this year he's not playing anywhere to 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.159 that level he's been with. This will be his third 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:47.600 al these teams. It wasn't just a throw in. I 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.960 don't think they're that's someone I think they like a 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:54.839 little bit and eventually it could be him backing up Asaioh. 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:55.880 Yeah. 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.480 And I remember, you know, watching the games when he's catching, 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.040 and was watching the Sunday ball game last night against 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.120 the Dodgers and he was behind the plate and he 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.120 calls a really good game. He's not somebody I don't 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.520 think that they expect to get a ton of offense 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:07.800 fro him. 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:09.120 But like you said, last year. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.080 He kind of played above his career norms, but he 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.400 threw out some guys he's got. He calls a really 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.000 good game, he blocks the ball really well, and I 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.040 think he's gonna be a good guy for Sami beside 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.400 to lean on, you know, a foreign born player, so 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.520 there's the comfortability there with Sammy, and I think sometimes 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.360 when you get a guy who's bounced around a little bit, 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.880 he can give a little bit of perspective on, you know, 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.799 playing other places and what it's like being at other places. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.720 Ally only knew the Orioles at this point, So maybe 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.039 he's gonna help Sammy down the line too. But I, 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:39.920 like I said, I think this is you just got 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.400 to kind of look at this. If you're a Nose fan, 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.280 couldn't he be frustrated? I think he canna be frustrated. 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.240 But at the same time, like I said, I think 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.599 it's kind of they're gonna find out who they want 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.960 moving forward, and I think you're going to give plenty 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.520 more opportunities the guys that really should be getting every 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.480 day at bats, I think, and I think that's kind 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.240 of where they're going to go from here. And there's really, 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.599 as we know in the major leagues, there's no feeling 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.280 sorry yourself or nobody's going to be kind of roll 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.880 over for you. So when they come there to the 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.960 ballpark tomorrow, it's going to be get back to business 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.000 and going out there trying to win games against a 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.320 team like the Angels, who they just sold off a 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:12.800 bunch of guys too, so they're going to be going 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.000 through the same emotions that the Oriols are. So you 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:16.760 just got to kind of put your head down and 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.480 like I said, the roster is the roster. Now, some 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.360 guys from the miners might get a shot first, that 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.360 might come up get more at ats. You just never know, 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.560 And from this point the players just have to look 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.960 at as a huge opportunity and kind of you know, 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:29.560 kicking the door if they get that chance. 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:35.480 The trade of Rutchman, there's a lot of symbolism here. 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.920 This was the first draft pick when Michael Ayas and 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.679 his staff took over, the third number one in team history. 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.040 He was number two at the time, and Jackson Hollidays 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.480 come along since three times, the Oriols have had a 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.120 one to one pick since nineteen sixty six when the 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.160 draft started. So that tells you how rare that is. 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.200 You know a lot of people look back now and 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.400 say they could have taken Bobby with he was. I 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.760 know the ools at the time were heavily debating what 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.440 one to take. In the end, Adelaide, the premium defensive catcher, 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.960 won out with his incredible resume at Oregon State. And 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.880 so is it the end of an era? I mean, 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:16.280 how do you kind of see it with this marquee talent, 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.880 the face of the rebuild going out the door. 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.960 Yeah, it's see I think it's I almost want to say, 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.040 maybe me, it might be the end of an error 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.040 just with that this core group, and now it's gonna 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.160 be on Gunner and you know, with Pete there, he 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.200 obviously wasn't there from the beginning, but I think it 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.319 kind of falls on Gunner now that he's the face 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.120 of this. And Jordan Whisper you can hope get him 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.480 back healthy next year. And Jackson Holliday maybe he's the 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.680 replacement for Ali the number one pick and kind of 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.240 moves into a little bit bigger role here with leason 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.720 A losing that voice in the clubhouse. But it's, uh, 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.800 it's definitely gonna be one of those ones that I 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.000 think is is talked about here for a little bit, 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.120 and it's not just one of those ones where you're 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.200 gonna kind of forget about it tomorrow or next week 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.240 or next month. He was the face of Michaelias and 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.240 his rebuilding of this organization getting back to the playoffs. 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.840 So it's obviously not comparable to the teams I was 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:11.000 on twenty fourteen, twenty sixteen, and obviously our trade away 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.679 in twenty eighteen. But I think when you lose that 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.360 marquee number one pick, it might be considered the end 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:18.800 of an era. But at the same time, you still 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.280 have all the other guys left, So it's I don't 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.640 know exactly the phrase you want to give it, but 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.400 it's definitely short a big name and a big voice 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:28.199 in that clubhouse. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.960 Michael Oas obviously is not reticent to trade with in 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.559 the division. He traded four prospects to Tampa, a great 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.880 development organization, to get Shane Boz. He got one of 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:44.000 them back today. He traded with the Red Sox Adleie Retchman, 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.920 and he traded again with Tampa today Tyler Wells for 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.800 Michael Farrett. So I think this came down to this 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.959 brat Most of the teams that wanted to catch it 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.720 were in the Al East, and if it was the 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.760 Yankees and the Red Sox fighting at the end, maybe 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.720 that up that package that A lot of people are 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.120 saying the Ools did a great job getting three of 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.240 the top five Red Sox players, two of what your 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.679 top one hundred pitchers, and this outfielder that a lot 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.720 of people like and their bias, who has been good 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:16.480 at times in his career. Some people were overwhelmed by 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.800 that package the Ools got for Retchman. Of course, he 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.480 has team control through next year. He's not a rental, 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.760 so sorting it all out and it's going to take 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:25.679 a few days. 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.280 I think, yeah, it is, and it's I think it's 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.559 I think it was shocking that its indivision. But at 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.320 the same time, you know when you make the deal 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.959 in division you're going to get something extra. It just 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.400 feels like you have to There has to be something 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.760 there to in order to push you over the edge 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.480 of making that move. Knowing Adley has another year of 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.400 ConTroll and you're going to be facing that team thirteen 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.520 fourteen times a year, and you're going to be competing 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.880 against them for the Division of Wildcards. So I just 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:50.360 think at the end of the day, if you're willing 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.559 to move a guy like Adley, you have to take 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.240 the best package and you kind of have to take 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.679 the team out of it, whether it was the Yankees, 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.440 or is the Red Sox, or is the Raise. I 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.880 just think if you were treating a guy of that caliber, 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.440 three time All Star, you just have to forget about 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.120 the team that it is and you just got to 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.440 hope you get the best players back and they make 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.120 your team better and at the end of the day 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.319 that you're happy with that. If you were gonna move 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.319 on from Ali as it was, you just get the 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.120 best package you possibly can. And now it's time to 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.000 move on and see what they can get with these 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:20.640 guys they got in the trade. 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:23.920 We got a lot more thoughts on this man. What 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.720 a dizzying day in Birdland Atlie Ritchman is an ex 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.959 oriol A couple others have gone out the door as well. 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.439 The Oriols got some talented young players. In fact, the 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.280 MLB pipeline tonight has ranked that picture they got from 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.560 the Red Sox as their number one prospect. I'll touch 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.400 on that and more coming up as we roll on 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.679 Tim Barbolace. We're missing him tonight.

Oriol fans will remember the 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:13.480 Manny Machado situation. He was a rental so the package, 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.800 which at the time seemed pretty great, turned out not 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.120 to be great. Uston LD has never made it. Dan 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.280 Kramer did a good job for the Birds for years, 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:25.160 but it wasn't the great package because of rental. So 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.880 with Adlie, he can make two playoff runs with the 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.640 Red Sox if they make it, and that brings more 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.160 of a price. And if the Yankees were pushing for him, 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.840 that spurred on the Red Sox. So sometimes Brad these 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.839 things are this is what it was today, and maybe 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.520 Michael Ias said, you know what, we could trade Adley 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.520 this winner, but I can't get that package this winner, 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:47.280 and so he pulled the trigger. 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.520 Yeah, And I think when I think having the fact 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.520 that the Yankees and the Red Sox both were going 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.280 after the same player, I think that might have bumped 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.440 up the price even more. And if that think you 0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.560 just mentioned that picture is now number one in the 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.880 Orioles system, that's something that's hard to pass up. And 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.280 I feel like that might have been the thing that 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.800 tip the scale in the in the way of we 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:09.480 need to move this guy now, because I just don't 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.120 know if that type of player, that caliber player is 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.360 going to be there that this winter. So I think 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.360 that's what at the end of the day, he went 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.800 and got the best players. He thought it was the 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.760 best deal he could get, and that's you know, we're 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.560 not going to know how this is going to pan out. 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.360 This might be more of a two, three year, four 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.760 year type of thing. But I think, yeah, at the 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.840 end of the day, when you get someone's number one 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.040 prospect or it's now your number one prospect. When you 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.160 get them for somebody that you're just not sure is 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:36.520 going to be there past next year. 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.240 You kind of got to take that deal. 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.040 And who knows, maybe some of these other players pan 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.720 out even better than they're expecting right now. So it's uh, 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:45.680 it's going to take a little bit of time to 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.880 obviously process all this and see how it plays out. 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.000 But I just think Michael Oas just needed to do it. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.120 If you thought this was the best. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:56.400 Time, we'll tip our cap if we had one, Brad, 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.440 you had one, but it's going backwards. Don't tip it 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.840 right now to Hadley Rutsch and will symbolically do it. Uh, 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.280 you know he was. He was a really good oriole 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.120 and he made three All Star appearances on their watch. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:11.440 He represented the organization well. He handled the white hot 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.840 spotlight of being one one pretty well too, I thought. 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.440 And you know he never did anything but honor the organization. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.920 That famous spin around when he made his first debut, 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.200 remember he kind of took it all in. Yeah, yeah, 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.320 you know, think things were gonna remember and it's just 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.680 gonna be weird when he plays against the Oils wearing 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.560 Boston Red Sox uniform and fans are gonna have a 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.960 hard time when he slugs one in the seats at 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:37.920 Fenway Park against the Orioles. 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:38.800 Yeah, it is. 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.800 It's I think that's kind of the bittersweet part of 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.720 it is that he goes out to the West Coast 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.800 or he goes in the NL, you might see him 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.760 once every couple of years or something like that. But 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:48.680 the fact that you're gonna see him in came the 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.520 Yards in a different uniform minimum two times a year 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.720 is definitely a tough bill to swallow. So, uh, I 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.480 think that's gonna end up being the hardest part of it. 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.240 But but like you said, I think being the second 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.560 ever number one overall pick for the Orioles, he did 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.840 a good job. He came up, made three All Stars. 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.520 I mean, there's really not much else you could ask 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.520 for him playing in premier position. That's really really tough 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.880 to do both sides of the ball, and he really 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:12.800 did a great job for them, got them back to 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.160 winning the division, got them to the playoffs twice. So, 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.240 like you said, tip your cap to add that, he 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.360 really handled the pressure of that being the face of 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.480 the rebuild for Michael Elias really well and not only 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.000 just represented it well, he performed really well on the 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.160 biggest stage and did a great job. 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.440 So you can't help but to root for somebody. 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.120 You just got to hope that he doesn't do it 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.760 against the Orioles whenever they face on the thirteen times 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:35.120 a year. 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.240 So here was on Twitter today and this got a 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.960 lot of attention. And this was not from an oriol reporter. 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:45.920 It was from Sean McAdam, a Boston reporter of Masslive 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:50.320 dot com, who tweeted after this trade, some people in 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.920 the game are completely stunned by what the Red Sox 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:57.600 gave up for Ritchmand said one evaluator. I'm absolutely dumbfounded 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.640 by this. This is literally one of the most ridiculous 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:05.359 trades I've seen in thirty years. Wow to what he said, Wow, 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:09.199 that's crazy. Yeah, you know, But so what did the 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.159 Ools get. Let's give you at least a little bit 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:15.720 of a rundown here. They got right handed pitcher Anthony Ironson. 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.560 He has ranked as number thirty three prospect by Baseball America, 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.280 number forty nine by Pipeline, number two Red Sox prospect. 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:27.000 The Ools did not get Franklin Arias shortstop. That's the 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.160 Red Sox top top guy, top ten in the game, 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:32.720 so that we were going to put this over the top. 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.280 Red Sox did not part with him, but they did 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:39.040 part with three of their top five prospects, including Ironson, 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.480 third round draft pick out of LSU and twenty twenty five. 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.119 Brady signed for one point seven five million. And by 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:49.639 the way, the other guy that got Kyson Witherspoon was 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.320 a first round draft pick number fifteen overall in twenty 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.000 twenty five out of Oklahoma who signed for five million, 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.320 and he was a top one hundred and still is 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.359 according to base Ball America, number ninety seven. And then 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:06.000 they got the outfielder Andy as a Car. He is 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.720 the number five Red Sox prospect. He's nineteen from Venezuela 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.199 and is having a great year this year at a 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.320 and high as ops is eight to eighty and they 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.600 say it's above average speed and power. Baseball America said 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.639 he has the highest offensive sealing of anybody in the 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:25.680 Boston system. Wow, two of their cream pitchers and maybe 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.720 their best hitter. And Navayas, as we said, who's done 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.560
