1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: How about Alex Bora, We saw him.

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: We're not going to bring him on here because we

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: just had him on FT So we try to be

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: respectful of people's time. We don't need to have everybody

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: on every five seconds. But we did ask him one

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: critical question, who.

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Are you signing?

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: He did a pretty clear cut answer, and I've seen

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 2: him talk about it to the media as well. He

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: would like to continue his friendship that is growing with

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: Alex Bregman. He said, they really have a friendship.

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: They keep in touch.

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: The whole deal, right, the family is all that, and

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: he would like to have that talent on his roster

15
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: long term this time. Maybe this time they don't have

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: that cute little opt out after year one, so you

17
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: have to worry all year about if this is it.

18
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 3: No, it was a one year deal. You knew it

19
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: was a one year deal. No more, no more opt outs.

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: The next one he signs, no more opt outs. And

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: he's talking so glowingly about a player who had a

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: three and a half war It was exactly what they

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 3: brought in. This dude performed on the field. I know

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: he had a little stint on the il, but to

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: see how many young guys they had on this roster,

26
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: and they're going to lean on those young young position players.

27
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: I think it's a no brainer, as much as Schwarber

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 3: back to the Phillies was a no brainer. Bregman back

29
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 3: to the Red Sox and it's a massive massive loss

30
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: if the Red Sox do not lock him in.

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 4: Agree agree he fits perfectly there, right handed power, they

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 4: can play defense.

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: You know what I heard And these are quotes coming

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: from front office people while we're here. The Cubs were

35
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: talking about how they've seen a lot about activity for them,

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: and they kind of said, yeah, Matt Shaw's our guy.

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: Now Mattshaw could be their guy in a number of positions.

38
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: I think he did play a few positions in college.

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: I would advise to just let him run with third base.

40
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: But the point is that they have been linked to

41
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: Bregman as well.

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: But to me, it almost made it feel like it

43
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: could be right.

44
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: But it almost makes it feel like they're not in

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: on him, and that's just the rumor mill stirring up

46
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: options for him.

47
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: Did you get that vibe.

48
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: If they're saying like, yeah, we like it Chicago and

49
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: where so Ifreman is signs with the Cubs, obviously they'll

50
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: figure it out, and they have a lot of players

51
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: that are departing after twenty six. But for twenty six,

52
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: you have Bush at first, you have Horner at second,

53
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: you have Swontan at short, you have Show at third.

54
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: I think the Cubs are trying to spend their money

55
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: on starting pitching, and I think that's what they should do,

56
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: maybe a big reliever two.

57
00:02:59,160 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't see it.

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: I don't see them outbidding everyone for Alex bregnant I

59
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: don't see them outbidding the Red Sox. I don't even

60
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: think I see them outbidding the Tigers. I said on

61
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: this show maybe a month ago, that it would be

62
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: hard for me to see Bregman then going back to

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: the Tigers.

64
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: Now I still.

65
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: Feel that way, but it sounded to me like the

66
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: Tigers are still interested in him. For me, I had

67
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: the vibe like, well, you told us no. What I've

68
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: found out was they had the ability to up their

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: offer and get it, I guess, in more of a

70
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: range for that one year that he was going to

71
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: do to go back to the market, and they didn't

72
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: do it. So that's why, or at least partially why

73
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: they didn't get the player.

74
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: Did that make sense what I just said.

75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I hear you. You ever seen those videos

76
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: where two people who are like the number one and

77
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: number two favorite person for that dog in the family,

78
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: and they like put the dog in the middle and

79
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: they go a part, they go separate, and then they

80
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: tell the dog like they just let the dog go

81
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: and see which person it goes to. That's what's happened

82
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: with Alex Bregman. Reggy's like, oh Man, like I love

83
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 3: aj hint. I had a great time with Alex kra

84
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 3: you know. I think they're kind of building for the

85
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: future a little bit. Who will he choose? And I

86
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: hope the Tigers are in again because they made a

87
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: huge offer. I think it was actually more, but it

88
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 3: wasn't more per year for that first year so he

89
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: could opt out, so it essentially was a one year deal.

90
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 3: But I hope they're back in. Let's put it that way.

91
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: That's a good way to push all in with in

92
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: Schoobls last year.

93
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: I think they have to do something like that. I

94
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: thought he was a perfect fit for Detroit. Yes, do

95
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: you believe in the impact that he makes around the team?

96
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you've been around guys like this where they're

97
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: just junkies and they respectfully want to help everyone, and

98
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: so they suddenly show up the next day and they're like, hey,

99
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: I figured this out for you.

100
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: This is how you're being attacked. I figured this out.

101
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: That's a thing, right, I mean, because it's hard to

102
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: quantify and it doesn't sound like there are many players

103
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: that are worth the extra cash for that contribution, but

104
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: he is one of them.

105
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: There are a few of them, but breaking them brings

106
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 4: a winner's mentality, a veteran presidence. He changes at bats,

107
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 4: he changes a lineup, and those people are hard to

108
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 4: find and they're special when you find one.

109
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, A hundre percent agree. I fig that the Phillies

110
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 3: didn't didn't hit on Schwarber. I think that would be

111
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: the route they would have had to have gone, because

112
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: winning teams need winning players world series. Aspiring teams need

113
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: players that have experience, can be out there every single day,

114
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: still can play. You gotta play like look like I

115
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 3: can be the best clubhouse guy of all time, but

116
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: I'm not really changing the trajectory of a team like

117
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 3: an Alex Bregman. And I think you need those guys

118
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 3: if you're if you're calling young guys up. You need

119
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: those guys that help you make that transition, that maturation

120
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 3: process that equals the talent that is there. And I

121
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: think the Red Sox have that in Alex Bregman. And

122
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: without that, who's that guy, it's Trevor Story. That guy

123
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: to me, Trevor Story is that like he's that motor guy,

124
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: he's the engine guy. I would just say, yeah, I would,

125
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: I would. I would say if you don't sign Bregman,

126
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: if either team Tigers or the Red Sox, because I

127
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: think they both need them, you don't sign Bragman, who

128
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 3: do you go after? Who is that guy on that

129
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: level of leadership that's currently on your team of ability wise?

130
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: And I think the Tigers actually get more from from

131
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: Bregman than the Red Sox too, because the Red Sox

132
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 3: are definitely laden with talent, but you still need that

133
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 3: leadership guy around.

134
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: Futures bet MGM ALCS winning division Al Central plus three

135
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: sixty AL East minus one oh five AL West plus

136
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: one ninety. I can actually play some ball in this.

137
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 5: I could do the West.

138
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I could do the West. Remember one team essentially the.

139
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 4: West to mean yes, because the Mariners I think have

140
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 4: a chance they were very close this year. We don't

141
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: know what the Astros are gonna do. The Rangers, what

142
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 4: are they gonna do? I could I just think the

143
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 4: West has a better chance than the two to one

144
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 4: the East. Obviously with the Beasts of the East, all

145
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 4: five teams, you can make an argument could do something.

146
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: But if you're gonna lay money to me, it's it's

147
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: gotta be on the West.

148
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:49,679
Speaker 5: The Central.

149
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: Listen, we love the Tigers, Guardians, White Sox, Royals, that

150
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: whole division, but it's got to be the East and

151
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 4: the East.

152
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 5: Is too low. So I'm going I'm going I'm going

153
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 5: ale West, laying money on this one.

154
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: Agreed. If I could get to East and more like

155
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: even money, then I'll take it. Because you ultimately have

156
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: three teams. I'm not gonna say five. There's gonna be

157
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: three teams. Somebody has a stinker of a year, but

158
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: you're gonna get three of those five teams that will

159
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: be in the mix. And again in the American League

160
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: is not that great. I but yeah, I'm gonna say

161
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: the West. I love the Mariners, can never count the

162
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 3: Astros out, and the Rangers might actually do something.

163
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now the Rangers actually we haven't talked about that much.

164
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: Are I think they're trimming payroll this offseason. They're not

165
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: going to be big players a couple of years ago

166
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: and they actually they lost a lot of money after that.

167
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: I'm joking. No, I love that move. I love that move.

168
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: Langford's gonna go full time center fee Old he lost

169
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 4: the Dolei Scarcia.

170
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 5: The Gram is gonna be there. Of all, he's gonna

171
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 5: be there.

172
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: Have great pitching. I can't argue against pitching at this

173
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 3: point in the year.

174
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 5: Healthy seeger Josh Young hopefully stays healthy. Who's I mean?

175
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 5: They can compete?

176
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 4: I feel like just because if you start a rotation

177
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: with de Gram and Evald, you should be able to compete.

178
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 5: Yep, agreed and skip Schumacher magic.

179
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,480

201
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: for this yesterday, but I was dying for your thoughts

202
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: the tmz ish battle that nobody anticipated coming. You played

203
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 2: with Sonny Gray. You've always had really good insight on

204
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: that whole situation. I'm sure you saw the back and

205
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: forth with him, then Cashman, then his agent. I just

206
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: need to get your overall thoughts on the final result.

207
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: Like I'm gonna let you be the judge at the

208
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: Olympics and you're gonna just tell me, like who got

209
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: the top score in that fight?

210
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: I think both sides of the story have part of

211
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 3: the story correct. All I can say is when he

212
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 3: came over, there was a team, like I said before,

213
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: that had offered him an extension via you know, if

214
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 3: the trade goes through, would you sign this extension? Answer

215
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: was yes, Yankees came in traded for him. So I

216
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 3: think there's probably some of you know, would he have

217
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: wanted to go to the Yankees. I'm sure there's probably

218
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: would have wanted to go to the Yankees before all

219
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: this because they weren't winning in Oakland. I know for

220
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 3: a fact that Sonny Gray from country, from the Country

221
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: had no problem playing for the A's a lot of

222
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: guys you can even you can even ask Josh Reddick,

223
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: like those guys like they embraced it, Stephen Vote, they

224
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: embraced being in Oakland because they were like, it's us

225
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: against the world kind of thing. Could we have nicer stuff? Sure?

226
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: Did he win a win a world want to win

227
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: a World Series?

228
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 5: Sure?

229
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: Two thousand and seven the Yankees were in line to

230
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: possibly win a World Series? So could he have said, yeah,

231
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 3: he'd love to go to the Yankees? Yes, Like did

232
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 3: he lie to a VID a minor league video guy

233
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: to get him traded over the Yankees. If that's what it.

234
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: If that's all it took, like everybody would be spreading

235
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 3: stuff like that. So no, I don't think there's a

236
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: lot of Some of the pieces of the story are

237
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: probably correct, but you're getting something second third hand. So

238
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: when Sonny comes on, we'll ask him all about this. TMZ.

239
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: He loves the smoke. He's a vet now, he's not

240
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: afraid of, you know, mixing it up a little bit,

241
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: having a good time with that Southern draw.

242
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: You know, Hey, you know I saw that.

243
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: I saw that story, and I think it's funny because

244
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: not everybody's got the story correct.

245
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 5: Well, who's the team? Can we get the team?

246
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I told you before. I can't. I can't confirm

247
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: it because how I remember it. It would be a

248
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 3: good story had we have to wait for Sonny to

249
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: say what the team was. To confirm what the team was.

250
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: Wait, I actually retract what I said last time you

251
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: brought this up. I don't think there's any downside to

252
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 2: you bringing up the team.

253
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,239
Speaker 1: Well you're not. You're not Ken Rosenthal.

254
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: It's not like we're gonna be like, remember Kratz brought

255
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: something up that he said he thought, but he didn't

256
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: totally remember. So he's just throwing that out there, and

257
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: we'll ask Sonny next time to confirm if that was

258
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: indeed the team that he was thinking of.

259
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the team I was thinking of was the Dodgers.

260
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: The team that was supposedly in an agreement was the Dodgers.

261
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: So now you're talking twenty seventeen like this was at

262
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: the beginning of their run.

263
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

264
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: We'll see if he confirms it. If he's like, man, cratch,

265
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 3: you're so stupid. I never said that. I remember he

266
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: said a team, and that's my that's my recollection of

267
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: the team that it was.

268
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: So he thought he was going to the Dodgers, and

269
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: then the Yankee swooped in and the rest is now

270
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 2: a beautiful rivalry.

271
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, now he goes because now he's on the Red

272
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 4: Sox and he eats. Just try and beat him every

273
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 4: time he pitches.

274
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: You guess, as he was anybody else. Everybody, Like we're

275
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: trying to be TMZ here too. Sonny Gray wants to

276
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: beat everybody that he's facing. There's not any team where

277
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: he's looking at it like, who am I facing today?

278
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 5: Oh?

279
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: Man, you know, I never really had any issues with

280
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: the Brewers. I'm just gonna go out here and try

281
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: my best. No, he's a fierce competitor. He wants to

282
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: beat anybody. The media, the fans, they're gonna boo when

283
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: he comes into Yankee Stadium. Every time he hits a homer.

284
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: They'll cheer a little louder. We need this, we need this,

285
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: We need aj Prazinski loving the Cubs, but secretly on

286
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 3: the outside saying he hates the Cubs.

287
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw a bunch of things at you because

288
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: we keep doing these great interviews and then news happens.

289
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: Nothing crazy, but I mean, there was a trade. The

290
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: Angels picked up Von Grissom from the Red Sox for

291
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: minor league outfielder Isaiah Jackson. The Angels are becoming a

292
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: spot where they're like, hey, let's put.

293
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 5: He play in the big leagues this year.

294
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: Did he get any time? If he did, it wasn't much.

295
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 5: He's just a name because he was the big sale, right,

296
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 5: the big sale.

297
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: He didn't get up here this year. No, So he

298
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: was a promising player for forty one games with the

299
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: Braves and the next year doesn't play as well. Again,

300
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: super limited abs. He got called up at twenty one

301
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: years old, coming from like a small school. I think

302
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: I think it was a Florida school that let's see,

303
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: where was he coming from and forgetting everything now?

304
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 4: Or was he a high school guy Haggerty Haggarty, bro Haggarty, Haggarty,

305
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 4: High School of Veto right, Zach Efflyn, Ryan Mountcastle.

306
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: So high school guy that's called up. My point of

307
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: all of this was, hopefully he's able to find it

308
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: with the Angels, they're getting to guy s, but also

309
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: the Braves won the Chris Sales treach.

310
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 5: Here's that You want to say young, didn't he?

311
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:18,359
Speaker 1: Yeah? I'm just saying prospects are often suspects.

312
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 4: Prospects are suspects until they're players. Scrats, that's what we

313
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 4: always say. Still they become some they're all suspects.

314
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: And von Grison needs to elevate the ball a little

315
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: bit more. I see he hit thirteen homers minor leagues.

316
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: He's able to his batting averages, John, Okay, but there's

317
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: a lot more. You know, you got to become a force.

318
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 3: I think he came up. He was a guy. I

319
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: was trying to look at some of his minor league numbers.

320
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: He was like a one to one guy striking out

321
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 3: the same amount that he's walking. So he's not striking

322
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: out a ton. He needs to elevate those He needs

323
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: to elevate those walk numbers and do more damage and

324
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: not just make contact with everything. It's learning, not every buddy,

325
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 3: not everybody that makes it up to the big Lee's

326
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 3: at twenty twenty one years old and hits a ding.

327
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: I remember it was in Boston. He had a homer

328
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 3: I think his first at bat or first game over

329
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 3: the monster. He has value. It's just a matter of

330
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 3: him finding finding his value and finding where he best

331
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 3: fits to put his best at pass forward in the

332
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: big leiges.

333

00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 5: Theres options there?

358
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: Say yes, yes, what happened last time?

359
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: They don't have enough pitching.

360
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 4: They lost in you think two slider to mac Trout.

361
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, I mean to me, if you're gonna

362
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: if you're going to win this, you need the best

363
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 3: guys out there to roll through it. I'm sorry, but

364
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 3: you can't have Merrill Kelly and Adam Wayne Wright as

365
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: guys that are getting significant innings for you. And maybe

366
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 3: they'll look at it as you know.

367
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 4: What, Wayne no pitch wayno pitched against like they set way,

368
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 4: no up to where he would pitch it to certain things.

369
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: So then it's all about so then it's all about

370
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 3: the So then it's all about whoever, you know, whoever

371
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 3: you have in the bullpen, because they're not gonna sit

372
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 3: there and go They're not gonna sit there and go yeah,

373
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 3: you know, we'll have a starter, go long, yeah.

374
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 4: Whatever, they'll be guys. By the way, the only reason

375
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 4: I brought up Dennis Gilbert. By the way, Jim Gibbella

376
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 4: just walked by me, super scout for the Giants.

377
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 5: I've done forever.

378
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 4: But Dennis Gilbert, who just who walked by me originally

379
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 4: when we came on. He used to be an agent.

380
00:19:54,640 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 4: He negotiated the Bobby Bonia contract that he's still gets

381
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 4: paid for.

382
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 3: I know he took his money up front, that is good.

383
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: But Dennis Gilbert now he owns an insurance coming that's

384
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 4: worth like more money than all of us combined.

385
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 5: So he's doing fine.

386
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 4: But he negotiated the Bobby Bennie of the original deferral contract.

387
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: He clearly knows what he's doing with money.

388
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 5: Yes, he knows how to make money, but.

389
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: Some people in the chat said, what about Michael Bush

390
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: for first base.

391
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 5: Back to Team USA? That'll be fine.

392
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe a Max free pitches for Team Israel.

393
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: I don't think he's pitching in the WBC. You know

394
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 2: what about Eras Chapman.

395
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 4: Pitching for Great Britain's How did they get I'm just

396
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 4: trying to figure out how that works.

397
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 5: He's from Cuba, but he's gonna picture Great Britain.

398
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: It's a free for all.

399
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've decided I'm going to pitch for Team Poland

400
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 4: doesn't have a team.

401
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: So Great Britain is handing out passports.

402
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 5: All right, May we'll go over there and get one.

403
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 3: And what but dazzlers, they're going to dazzle their uniforms

404
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 3: this year. They're gonna get to make their uniforms.

405
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 2: You know how you said that there would be a

406
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 2: dress code and araldish Chapman was like, that's cool. I'm

407
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: gonna wear whatever I want. If you have a problem,

408
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: let me know. I'm six six two forty pure muscle.

409
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: That might happen again with Great Britain. You might just

410
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: show up with his own uniform customized. Since somehow the

411
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 2: WBC makes millions and millions and millions of dollars, but

412
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: Great Britain had to fund the uniform situation on their own,

413
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: thus letters.

414
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 5: Falling off of how how's the runoff?

415
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: Great Britain might just have a customized Eeraldish Chapman jersey

416
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 2: on his own.

417
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: I think it's terrible. I think Major League Baseball needs

418
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: to make sure all the teams are funded, all the

419
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 3: teams are announced when they have stars that are playing

420
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 3: for them, not just Team USA. Sorry, but imagine.

421
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 2: It's like Great Britain trying to pull up the upset

422
00:21:59,400 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 2: of the sension.

423
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: You get some round and Chatman comes in and be sick.

424
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 5: Yeah,
