Speaker 1: Welcome dude, Neil, Yeah, saves all right. How's it going, everybody?

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: How's it going? Welcome back? Welcome back? Ninety four days

3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: until Pitchers and Catcher's report. I'm counting him down. I

4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: know you are too. Joining me tonight. Is Terrence cam

5
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: who's out there in La Terrence any Juan Soto sightings

6
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: out there on?

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 2: I haven't seen him here in La, but I know

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: he's in California. I don't know if that's snor Cal

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: or so Cal, but California is a big state. Could

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 2: be anywhere.

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: I heard he was in La. So you might see him,

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: you might, I mean he might. He might come into

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: your store there. Apparently he is. He's meeting with Steve

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: Cohen out there in La Hause. Dimebner is supposedly flying

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: out there. I wonder if he's gonna fly himself. How

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: Michael k made this big deal about oh, how he

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: has to get on a plane and how it's gonna

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: be soe. I'm like, the dude's a pilot. He's probably

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: just gonna fly himself and enjoy the whole trip. I

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: think hal Steinbrowner just wants to get eyeballs on Juan Soto,

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: look him dead in the eyes and ask him the

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: same question that he asked Aaron Judge, which is do

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: you want to be a Yankee? Right? And if the

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: answer is anything other than an emphatic yes, I do,

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: then I think that Hal might walk away if he

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: hems and haws and says, well, I want to see

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: what other teams are offering, YadA, YadA. I think Hal

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: will walk away because if you're handing out seven hundred

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: eight hundred million dollars to somebody, I feel like you've

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: got to know that they're fully committed and they want

31
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: to be a Yankee. Thoughts.

32
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree he's I didn't know he was Nolla.

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: I saw Arnold the other day though, so that was

34
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: kind of cool. I didn't see Sodo, but yeah, he's

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: out here meeting with how I think again, Michael kay

36
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: was making that huge deal about it. He has to

37
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: fly out. Guy's a billionaire. He's flying on private. It's

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: not like he's flying coach on, just flying himself.

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: He's a pilot.

40
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I don't think that's that big of a deal.

41
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: And I think that I know what Michael k was

42
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 2: trying to say in terms of he's been with the

43
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: Yankees all year, Like, what else does he need to

44
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: know about the franchise. It's a lot more about you

45
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 2: made the effort, and I think that players want that.

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: Scott Boris probably wants that, and it does a little

47
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: bit dance for me clown a little bit. But I mean,

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: Steve Cohen's doing it. I'm sure the Blue Jays are

49
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: gonna send some people out, or the Rangers, the Phillies,

50
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: anybody who's checked in the Rays. You know, I've also

51
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: checked in on Sidney Sweeney. But I mean, yeah, I

52
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: think that that's kind of status quo. I was kind

53
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: of expecting that to happen, and I totally agree with you.

54
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: I think it's definitely gonna be a do you want

55
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: to be here or not? Man, Because if you're gonna

56
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: make an enormous financial commitment like that, where you're gonna

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: tie up that much money and not just one player,

58
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: but two players, because you're gonna consider it between judge

59
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 2: and so over the next i don't know, eight years,

60
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: during the duration of judges contract. That's an enormous commitment.

61
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: You can't just be like, oh, yeah, I don't know,

62
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: I want to see what other teams got.

63
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: I do feel like it's a good sign that Hall

64
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: is getting involved early. Right it tells me that the

65
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: Yankees don't want to waste time this offseason. They want

66
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: to get Soto locked up so they can focus on

67
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 1: other things, or they want to find out if they're

68
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: out on Soto, They're gonna make the decision. It's basically

69
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, look the guy in the eye

70
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: and see how you feel about the situation. And if

71
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: Hal walks out of there and says, you know, I

72
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: don't think he's coming back, or I think he's gonna

73
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: drag this out till February, I think you'll see the

74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: Yankees start with a flurry of other moves. They'll probably

75
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: address first base. They'll probably you'll get another outfielder. I

76
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: could see him getting to Oscar Hernandez. I could see

77
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: him getting Anthony Santander, any other outfield bat because right now,

78
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna bring back for Dugo and

79
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: the Martian and Judge are gonna fill up two of

80
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: those three slots, so they're gonna need an outfielder. It's

81
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: just a question of who. And I do feel like

82
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: one so wants to be a Yankee, but I feel

83
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: like he might want also to be like the highest

84
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: paid player ever, right, I mean, what's gonna be more

85
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: important to him? What's gonna be the thing that drives him? Right?

86
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: I do worry about the Dodgers though, because they opened

87
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: up right field. They said that Mookie Betts is moving

88
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: back to the infield. They've got a healthy sho Heyo

89
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: Tani next year pitching, although he did hurt his he

90
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: had laborm surgery, and they're saying he's gonna be back

91
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: in February. I've never heard of a guy coming back

92
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: that quick from laborm surgery. Yeah.

93
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: I think they said, well, because it's his non pitching arm,

94
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: it's his left arm. But they think that he's gonna

95
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: be ready to pitch. He'll be ready for spring training,

96
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: but ready to pitch I think in like April, not

97
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: in spring training necessarily late April, so I think. But

98
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: he's still gonna be able to hit. So yeah, special player.

99
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean they've also got Mookie and Freddy.

100
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: I mean, and they got Glasnow's gonna be healthy next year.

101
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: It sounds like they could get Roki Sazaki. Will talk

102
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: more about him in a little bit. But right now,

103
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: the Yankees do not have a cake walk to getting

104
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: one soda. This is going to be a really, really

105
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: tough negotiating session because I feel like Cohen is really

106
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: dead serious. The fact that he's been this aggressive this

107
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: early tells you that, like there's a massive offer coming.

108
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: And if it's all about money, I think Soto's gone.

109
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: Man.

110
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: I think if it's all about money, I think he's gone.

111
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: I definitely think it's all about money. So I've kind

112
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: of been saying that I don't think he's coming back,

113
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: and I wanted to come back, Don't get me wrong.

114
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: I'd love to have one soda for the next fifteen years.

115
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: So I don't think he is coming back. I personally

116
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: see the Mets is a way bigger threat than the

117
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: Dodgers due to a couple reasons. First of all, Jeff

118
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: Passing made this point, and this is kind of a

119
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: silly reason, but it is kind of true. His home,

120
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: his home country of the Dominican Republic, is far away

121
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: from California. I think he kind of wants to have

122
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: a little bit of that easier access. Most guys at

123
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: play on the East Coast. Their spring training facilities are

124
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: in Florida. They usually live in Florida in the offseason

125
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: that you can kind of just puddle jump between the

126
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: dr and Florida there. But when he was a Padre,

127
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: I don't really think he was an enormous fan of

128
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 2: southern California and La is really also that. Yes, it's

129
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: a more kind of luxurious franchise and maybe sort of

130
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: the Yankees of the West Coast, if you will, But

131
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: I don't think he's maybe that interested in going to

132
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: California and playing the rest of his career there. I

133
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: see the Mets as a way bigger threat, and I

134
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: also think think that Steve Cohen, being the owner of

135
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: the Mets, is literally going to be like, dude, we.

136
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: Want tell me about San Diego. Is San Diego a

137
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: large market? Is or is it more of like a

138
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: medium market?

139
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: It's really weird. I've been to San Diego a few times,

140
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: went to the park. I have some family there, but

141
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: it's a really cool city. I kind of describe it

142
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: as a medium market, and that's only been the case

143
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: recently because they used to be he used to be

144
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: a small market team. I don't really think they sold

145
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: tickets that well, but I think because and this is

146
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 2: kind of a weird thing, but it's true. Since the

147
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: Chargers left and went to LA I feel like there

148
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: were a lot of sports fans in general that needed

149
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: something and they kind of all just gravitated towards the

150
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: Padres because the Padres are the only professional franchise that

151
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: San Diego has now. I mean, you got San Diego State,

152
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: that's a college team that's cool and all, but as

153
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: far as pro sports go, it's just the Padres. And

154
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: that whole like downtown area is really cool where the

155
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: park is so and they they seem to sell really well,

156
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: so I think they've kind of turned them turned themselves

157
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: into a bigger market, especially when they grabbed up Manny

158
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: Machado a couple of years back and kind of surprised everybody.

159
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: I think since then they've kind of been real players.

160
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: I don't really think it's sustainable. They've cut payroll, but

161
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: I kind of expect them to be a consistent, like

162
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: two million, two hundred and fifty million dollars payroll team now.

163
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they've been very aggressive in free agents, and

164
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: I was thought, like, you know, would they try and

165
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: bring him back? But I don't think he would necessarily

166
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: go back. I mean, if he's going out west to

167
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. But really I agree with you. I think

168
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: the Mets are the biggest challenge here. I'm interested to

169
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: see how it's gonna shake out. Let's talk a little

170
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: bit about well, we already talked about Wansta. Let's talk

171
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: a little bit about non Soto. Other free agents that

172
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 1: are out there. We've got a number of them this year,

173
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: and you know, headlined by you know, Rokie Sazaki, we

174
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: got Blake Snell, Christian Walker, Pete Alonzo, Glabra Torres. For

175
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: those of you who are listening, I've just I've got

176
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: a list of free agents here. We'll save Rokie Sizaki

177
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: for later. Blake Snell, where do you think he's going?

178
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Where do you think he's ended up?

179
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: I don't really know. He kind of just went to

180
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: the Giants, I guess because they gave him the best

181
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: offer that he could have gotten at the time. I

182
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 2: think Boris really kind of messed up his whole free

183
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: agency that whole year. All the Boris clients didn't do

184
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 2: that well. I think Jordan Montgomery even fired him. I

185
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: feel like he's gonna come back to the alast I

186
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: expect Toronto. I expect Toronto to be a player Baltimore,

187
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 2: especially since Burns is a free agent for them. I

188
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: think Baltimore will be in the mix. I even see

189
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: Boston as a potential fit. I'm they're kind of laying

190
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: in the weeds there. They got a lot of young

191
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: talent coming up through the system ready to spend some money.

192
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: So I don't think he's coming to the Yankees though.

193
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got him going to the Toronto Blue Jays,

194
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: and a couple of reasons for that. One, Toronto's got

195
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: a very short winning window, and you know they're gonna

196
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: try and be aggressive a lefty in the Al East obviously,

197
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: you got the Yankees have struggled against lefties. Depending on

198
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: what they do, they they'll probably struggle against lefties again

199
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: the list they get another bat and the Orioles have

200
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: that deep left field. So I mean, as a Blue Jay,

201
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: he'd be pitching, you know, against two division rivals who

202
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: could potentially struggle against lefties. What about Christian Walker, The

203
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,599
Speaker 1: Yankees have been linked to him, you know over the

204
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: last several weeks. I'm not a big Christian Walker guy.

205
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: I just I'm not a fan of signing guys that

206
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: are gonna to be thirty four years old. But we'll

207
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: talk more about the first base situation in a minute.

208
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts on Christian Walker.

209
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in lockstep a great player, but I'm not

210
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 2: again in favor of signing a guy that's thirty four

211
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: years old. This is going to be the back end

212
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: of his career. I think we could potentially have an

213
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: Anthony Rizzo situation there where Rizzo great guy, love him

214
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: in the clubhouse and stuff. He had a great career

215
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: with the Cubs, but we got to the Yankees. I

216
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: think he was good and then he kind of steadily

217
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: declined from there. I myself wouldn't spend the money on

218
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: first base. First base is one of those positions where

219
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 2: I think it's a low value position. One of the

220
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: reasons why peel A Lonzo's not going to get forty

221
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: million dollars a years because he is a first baseman.

222
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: It's kind of like that in the NFL with running backs.

223
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: Running backs don't get paid. I don't really think first

224
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: baseman get paid all that much. It's kind of a

225
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: thin position really, so I myself lean towards call me crazy,

226
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 2: but I think they're definitely gonna go with Oh DJ

227
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: LeMay you Ben Rice. They're going to be in the

228
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: mid except first base, and we'll address it at the

229
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: deadline if if it's a real issue, that's kind of

230
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: what I think they're going to go to. I'm okay

231
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 2: with giving Ben Rice the run until the deadline.

232
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: Let me just let me just recenter the conversation here.

233
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: Where do you think Christian Walker is going? This is

234
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: a free agent prediction segment.

235
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: Where is he going? Yeah, it's hard to tell. Like

236
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: I honestly back to the Diamondbacks' I don't see him leaving.

237
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: Like I think he just stay at the d Backs.

238
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: There isn't really a team out there that I think

239
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: maybe the Mets if they lose Alonzo, but probably stays

240
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: with the d Backs. Honestly, I think he's comfortable playing.

241
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: That's what I have too, And I also have Pete

242
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: Alonso going back to the Mets. Let's talk about Labor Torres.

243
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: Where do you think he's gonna fit because we haven't

244
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: really heard much talked about him.

245
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: Oh, I definitely. I have a team very much that

246
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 2: I think he's going to. I think he's going to Seattle.

247
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: I also have the Mariners written down here.

248
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, guys, we haven't compared notes. This is totally blind,

249
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: by the way, so we just think alike, I guess,

250
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: but I have him going to Seattle. They don't have

251
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: a lot of bats, great pitching. I think the smaller markets.

252
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: A fit form stays in the American League. I think

253
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: he'll play great there, and they have the hole for it.

254
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: I think I think he's just a fit there.

255
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: Honestly, Yeah, big, big outfield. I feel like his batting

256
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: average would jump with his contact ability. I think he'd

257
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: hit two ninety in Seattle and they need some offense.

258
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: Willie Adamas another guy. You know, it's hard to tell.

259
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: He can play short, he can play third. I could

260
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: see him ending back up with the Cubs. They're trying

261
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: to compete. They've got, oh, Craig Council is their new manager.

262
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: They're trying to, you know, add a little bit. I

263
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: can see him going back. Any thoughts on a.

264
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 2: Damas Adamas, Yeah, either going to the Cubs or staying

265
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: with the Brewers. I've heard the Mets are sniffing around,

266
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: but they want to put him at third for some reason,

267
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: even though Mark Vientos is kind of emerges as their

268
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: third basement. I don't really think that makes a whole

269
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 2: lot of sense. Maybe the Blue Jays. I don't really

270
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: think Bobashett has been that reliable for them. I think

271
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays again trying to compete, especially if they

272
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: miss out on Juan Soto because they have checked in

273
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: on him. I could see Adamas going to the Blue Jays.

274
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: I think I think I'll go to Toronto.

275
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: What about Alex Bragman.

276
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: This is a really interesting one because he's a career

277
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: astro and he's really kind of associated with the whole scandal.

278
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: I think that fan bases, especially Yankee fans obviously, really

279
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: think of him as that. I don't really see him

280
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: leaving Houston. I think that they're a pretty good fit,

281
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 2: but I don't really know the direction they're gonna want

282
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: to go in if they want to cut trim some payroll,

283
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: and maybe they think he's a declining player. He's a

284
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: pretty undersized third baseman. I think he almost profiles better

285
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: as like a second basement, or even put him in

286
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: the outfield if he can play it. But I think

287
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: I see him staying in Houston. I don't think that

288
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 2: he'll be leaving Houston.

289
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: Let's pull up Alex Bragman's numbers. I don't think he's

290
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: leaving either. I think he's gonna stay in Houston. You know,

291
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: they still got a pretty good ball club, and his

292
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: swing is meant for that Crawford box in left field. Yeah,

293
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't hit the ball the other way. Much like

294
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: if he came to Yankee Stadium, I think his power

295
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: numbers would drop. And like you said, this two thousand

296
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: and seven astro scandal just a stench attached to him

297
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: that I don't think Brian Cashman wants to touch. What

298
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: about Max Freed. We've heard about the Braves being linked

299
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: to him, the Rangers obviously linked. You know, I wouldn't

300
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: be shocked if he stayed with the Braves, but I

301
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: also wouldn't be shocked if he took a big contract elsewhere.

302
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: I could see him going to the Dodgers. Dodgers could

303
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: use some pitching, honestly, more than they could use Juan Soto.

304
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: I could see them spending big on pitching and him,

305
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: or Corbyn Burns or Yseay Kakuchi like those are the

306
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: types of guys that I can see the Dodgers investing in.

307
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: No definitely, Max Freed career brave. I think I lean

308
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 2: towards him staying in Atlanta. I think he likes it there.

309
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: But another team, I think I could see him going

310
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: to San Francisco. They can't give away their money. They're

311
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: probably gonna lose Blake Snell. They want to replace that

312
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: lefty in their rotation. I think him going to San

313
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: Francisco probably makes a lot of sense for them. I

314
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 2: don't know if Freed would be interested, though.

315
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, be interesting to see where Free. I could also

316
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: see Freed going to the Blue Jays, you know, the

317
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: same reason that Blake Snow would go. I could see

318
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: Freed going to the Orioles. I could see him doing

319
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: well there. I could see him going to the Yankees,

320
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: honestly if they were if they were spending on pitching.

321
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: He seems like the type of guy that would go

322
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: after Tyler O'Neill. I think he's staying with the Red Sox.

323
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: He's perfect fit for the Green Monster if he can

324
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: stay healthy. I mean, he's a forty home run guy

325
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: in Boston, ta Oscar. Probably going back to the the

326
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: Blue Jays, I would think, I mean the Dodgers yet Dodgers. Yeah,

327
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: I said, yes, yeah, Sorry brain dead. I also said

328
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: that Willie Thomas was staying with the Cubs, but I

329
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: meant he was going to the Cubs. It's I'm a

330
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: little rusty man, you know. Take a couple of weeks

331
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: off here, take a couple of weeks off, and it's

332
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: it's you know, I've been on vacation all week, and

333
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I'm I'm trying to get back in the

334
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: back in the swing of baseball here, Anthony Santander. I

335
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: can see the Yankees being interested in him. I think

336
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: he's the Yankees fallback option if they lose one soda.

337
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. I think him or ta Oscar would be

338
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: the kind of the two fallback options if they lose

339
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: out on soda. Would he hit like forty three home

340
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: runs with the with the Orioles somewhere around there. So

341
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: pretty good player. I don't know how old he is,

342
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: but that would definitely be in consideration. I think I

343
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: see him staying with Baltimore. I want to say staying

344
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: with Baltimore, but I could see a team like the

345
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: Cubs scooping him up, maybe even the Red Sox Blue Jays.

346
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: But I think I lean towards him staying with the Orioles, unless, again,

347
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: if the Yankees lose out on soda, I think that

348
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: changes a lot, and they'll be very aggressive on a

349
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: guy like that if they lose on soda. And honestly, guys,

350
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: I think a lot of this hinges on where Sodo goes.

351
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: He's going to be the first guy that signs. I

352
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: think people want to see what he signs for where

353
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: he signs, and that'll affect a lot of this, a

354
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: lot of these kind of things right here.

355
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, you say, Kakuchi, He's somebody that I kind of

356
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: had on the Yankees radar because he's a lefty and

357
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: he's kind of, you know, not super expensive. He's like

358
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: that next wrung down. We know that the Yankees had

359
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: interest in him, trading for him a year or so ago.

360
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where he's gonna land. I could see

361
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: him ending back up with Houston. I could see him

362
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: going to the Dodgers. I could see him going to

363
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: the Giants through place Snell. If Snell goes elsewhere. He

364
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: seems like one of those guys a lot of teams

365
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: would be in on because he's not at that like

366
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: thirty million dollar range. He's like a twenty million guy,

367
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: maybe twenty two to twenty three.

368
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: I love that twenty million dollars affordable, right, right game?

369
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: Man?

370
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a totally new game. I think I Houston

371
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 2: probably tried to retain him. I could see Texas maybe

372
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 2: a get in the mix, maybe Seattle, San Francisco, go

373
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: back to the Blue Jays. I myself, I wouldn't be

374
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: that interested. He's on the wrong side of thirty. I

375
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: wouldn't really want to spend the twenty million on a

376
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: pitcher like that. I feel like he's basically lefty version

377
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: of Marcus almost maybe a little bit better to take

378
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: better than that, I wouldn't really want to spend the

379
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: money there. I don't know how many years he's gonna want,

380
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: but I see I think the two Texas teams, either

381
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: Houston or Texas, would probably get involved.

382
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: I think he's better than a left handed Marcus Stroman.

383
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: Let me pull up his numbers here just so we

384
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: can take a look. I mean, he's got a four ERA,

385
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: which is not amazing, but he pitched better with Houston.

386
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: If you scroll down to look at his numbers with Houston,

387
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: five and one in ten starts so they unlocked something

388
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: and look, seventy six strikeouts and sixty innings. He had

389
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty and one hundred and fifteen innings.

390
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: The thing that concerns you about Kokuchi is like the innings, right,

391
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's he's he's thrown a lot of innings,

392
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: maybe thirty four to thirty four. Yeah, I wonder if

393
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: he'll if he's a candidate to break down at some point.

394
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: Corbyn burns the big one. This one is is gonna

395
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: be interesting. He's one of those guys I think is

396
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: gonna sign in February, like a week before spring training.

397
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: Boris client everybody's gonna want, like the big ace pitcher.

398
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: He's preparing either way, like you know, he's gonna get

399
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: you ready, and he'll just pick his team at the

400
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: last minute. Man, that's tough. I could see the I

401
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: could see the Blue Jays being in on him. I

402
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: could see the Guardians being in on him, like you know,

403
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: they're so close this last year. I could see obviously

404
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are always in on everybody. Man, there's so

405
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: many teams where he fits. Just it's just about the money.

406
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Guardians would spend on him.

407
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: You know, it just depends on.

408
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: I have a gut feeling about him. This is one

409
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 2: of those I just feel like he's going there. I

410
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: think he's going to the Red Sox. I think the

411
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: Red Sox are missing an ace.

412
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 4: Uh.

413
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 2: They haven't spent money in a while. I think their

414
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: fan base is kind of annoyed at them. They had

415
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: a little bit better of a year than they thought

416
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: they were going to have. They re upped Alex Kora,

417
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: got a lot of young guys coming through their system.

418
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: They're going to be a pretty young team. I think

419
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: they're missing that like ace type pitcher. Especially they cheered away.

420
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: They Tradered away Saale, who was never really that guy

421
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: for them. But Corden Burns to me just kind of

422
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: screams Red Sox, even though he looks like his beard

423
00:19:59,520 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 2: and it's.

424
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: A good he does have that personality that he's.

425
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: Got that Red Sox thing about him. I think he's

426
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 2: going to the Red Sox.

427
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: Tanner Scott, I think he's going to the Yankees. I

428
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: think the Yankees are gonna sign Tanner Scott. He's the

429
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: best relief pitcher available. The Yankees need to replace some

430
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: arms in that pen. I don't know if they're gonna

431
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: bring back anybody that's a free agent, like, you know,

432
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,239
Speaker 1: whether it's Cainley or I can see him bringing back

433
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: Tim Hill because he'll be cheap. I could see him

434
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: bringing back Clay Holmes, although I don't think they will,

435
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: you know, middle relief. I don't want him closing games,

436
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: but he still has pretty good stuff. But it's gonna

437
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: be hard to forget, you know, those thirteen blown saves

438
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: and get fans excited about bringing that back. But I

439
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: think Tanner Scott is coming to the Yankees. Thoughts on that, Yeah,

440
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: I could see it.

441
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be a little bit cautious about

442
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 2: giving out big contracts or believers since the Britain and

443
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: Chapman deals, since they did that. But I think he's

444
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: a guy that you you could should spend the money on.

445
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 2: A good lefty is always going to be valuable, something

446
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: they've kind of lacked, excuse me, in recent years. I

447
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: think that Tanner Scott and then I definitely don't think

448
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes is coming back. I think that there's cheaper

449
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: options available, even Clayton Beeter kind of lurking in the system.

450
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: If they want to turn him into a reliever. I

451
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: could totally see Matt Lake turning Clayton Beeter into like

452
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: the sixth seventh inning guy who's just lights out for us.

453
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

454
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: I worry about the arm. He had shoulder trouble down

455
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: the stretch, but he did make it back. He looked

456
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: good when when I saw him in spring training, and

457
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: obviously he made the opening day roster. He's got a

458
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: he to me, he's got a Roger Clemens type of build.

459
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: Like he's just a big, strong dude. But sometimes those

460
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: guys have, you know, muscle pulls or whatever, and you know,

461
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: like look look at Ian Hamilton, how ripped he is

462
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: and he's always getting hurt, you know. So finally, final

463
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: final one, Jack Flaherty, La kid got traded to the Dodgers.

464
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: Yankees were interested in him. I think he goes back

465
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers just because he's already there.

466
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he stays with the Dodgers. Maybe the

467
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: Padre sniff around, but I don't think he's leaving California.

468
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: It's either the Giants or the Padres. If the money

469
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: is right. Dodgers need the pitching. It's funny because it's

470
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: like on MLV the show. They have like ten pictures,

471
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 2: but just like eight of them are hurt, you know

472
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: what I mean. Yeah, they have so many pitchers that

473
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: are good if healthy, but that's an enormous if all

474
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: their pitchers get hurt. I think they they hold on

475
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: to Jack Flaherty. I know the Yankees didn't like his medicals,

476
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 2: something wrong with his shoulder, but grew up back always

477
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: his back. Excuse me, so is his back? So I

478
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 2: think the Dodgers hold on him. They seem the like

479
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 2: injured pitchers. He's grew up a Dodger fan just won

480
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: the World Series.

481
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 5: There.

482
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of a match made in heaven

483
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 2: for them. And I guess the one name that I've

484
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: seen a lot in the chat, Derek is a guy

485
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: that's not a free agent. But everyone's saying trade for

486
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: Devin Williams makes sense. I think the Brewers did say

487
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: he is available. I would be interested for the right package.

488
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: He's got good stuff, great change up. He kind of

489
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 2: replaces the Tommy Kinley in terms of stuff, except he

490
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 2: throws a pretty good fastball.

491
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: Here's the issue with trading for a reliever. There's a

492
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: lot of good relievers that you can get for just money, right,

493
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: so why give up the prospects. We know that Brian

494
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 1: Cashman is a prospect hugger. I don't think they'll do it.

495
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: I just I can't see him trading for a big

496
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: time reliever, especially when they turn like nobody's into big

497
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: relievers all the time. Let's talk about the bullpen, because

498
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of arms out there, and I'm gonna

499
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: put some of them up on the screen here and

500
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: we can kind of just go through Tanner Scott obviously

501
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: the cream of the crop. Jeff Hoffman, he was with

502
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: the Phillies. He went three and three two point one

503
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: point seven ERA. He's got some insane statsass visuals. I mean,

504
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: that's a lot of red there, baby, I mean, that's

505
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: that's some good stuff. He is thirty one years old,

506
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: so he's probably still got a couple of good years.

507
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: And the problem with relief pictures is you don't want

508
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: to go too far on the contract because a lot

509
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: of times they wear down or they get hurt and

510
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: they're just not as good at the end of the contract.

511
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure some fans will remember Steve Carse Carlos Esteves,

512
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: which is actually the same name that that's Charlie Sheen's

513
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: real name, and yeah, but it's six six, two hundred

514
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: and seventy seven pounds, so a big boy, Aaron Judge

515
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: sized basically two point four to five ERA for the Phillies.

516
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: Not really a strikeout guy. Fifty strikeouts and fifty five innings.

517
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: The thing that concerns me about Estevs is if you

518
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: look at the ground ball rate, it's really low. It's

519
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: in the fifth percentile, and if you look at the

520
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: hard hit rate, it's in the eighteenth percentile. So people

521
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: are hitting the ball hard and hitting it in the air,

522
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: which to me means home runs an extra base sense, right,

523
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: So that's the one thing that worries about me. But

524
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, you look at the numbers, they're good. I mean,

525
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: you can't argue with that. Dave Robertson. David Robertson, I

526
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: don't think he'll come back to the Yankees. There was

527
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of an issue when he left in

528
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 1: the clubhouse between him and Brian Cashman. But if they

529
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: decide to bring him back, he's gonna be forty years old.

530
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: But he's still effective. Ninety nine strikeouts and seventy two innings,

531
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: pitched three era for the Rangers. And you know there's

532
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: a few other guys here. I mean Arald this Chapman,

533
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: probably not coming back because the he left, but still

534
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: throwing one hundred and five. You know, Clay Holmes obviously

535
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: out there. We know what he is. Ken Lee Jansen

536
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: another guy who could be going to the Dodgers. He

537
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: said he wanted to go to the Dodgers to end

538
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: his career. He's thirty seven years old. It would make

539
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: sense to go sign like a two year deal with

540
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: the Dodgers right now. You know, we got some older

541
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: guys like Kirby Yeates, I mean, Danny, you know Columba.

542
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what Brian Cashman is looking for.

543
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: He tends to look for these guys that are kind

544
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: of like the Jake Cousins type, that are under the radar.

545
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: I could see him trading for some guys that you're

546
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: not expecting and you know, that don't really have big

547
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: names and then becoming big relievers. But if they sign

548
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: some of these guys, let's just let's say pick two,

549
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, let's assume that they're gonna try and go

550
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: after Tanner Scott. I think they might go after Hoffman Estevs.

551
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts?

552
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say Scott Hoffman or obviously they're

553
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: at the top of the page with the highest war

554
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 2: but I'm looking at the age. Age is definitely a

555
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: factor with relievers. They burn out pretty quickly. The other

556
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 2: guy who's the younger, the younger person on this list

557
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: is Leclaire. Uh, he's got pretty good stuff as well.

558
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 2: But Scott and Hoffman, Tanner Scott, that was like a name,

559
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: Tanner Scott and Jeff Hoffman, those would be the two names.

560
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: And I'm obviously interested specifically Tanner Scott, and I just

561
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 2: don't see us signing too many free agent relievers, just because,

562
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: again the Yankees have shown they're very good at turning

563
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 2: into nobody's into something. I hate Clay Holmes like everybody does.

564
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 2: I don't hate the guy, but I mean, come on, like,

565
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: you know, he he blew a lot of games for us,

566
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 2: but they.

567
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: Turned I didn't hate him as a middle reliever like

568
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: I thought he was. He was really good in the

569
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: A L. D S and then for part of the

570
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: ALCS until he had that Uh, that's it.

571
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 2: He just some guys, some guys are just not made

572
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: for that. Luke Weaver. Yeah, he burned out the dude.

573
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: The dude had the mentals to be, to be a closer.

574
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 2: I think that's a very something you can't measure. But

575
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes, they turned a nobody into something. Jake Cousins,

576
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: they did it with him. There's a there's just so

577
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 2: many examples with with this regime. With Matt Blake and

578
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 2: and Brian Cashman. You know they have their issues, sure,

579
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 2: but Matt Blay can turn some some randos into good relievers.

580
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 2: I don't see them spending a lot of money on relievers,

581
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: especially since the whole Britain Chapman thing. So Scott and

582
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: Hoffman the two best arms. They'll maybe try to spend

583
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: money on those guys and then they'll fill in with

584
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: the nobodies like they normally do.

585
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Adam Lamparello says, we need hitters throughout the lineup.

586
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: We need three quality starters. We don't have them. Expect

587
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: more of the same next year. It's almost like we

588
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: have an off season coming up, but a chance to

589
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: patch these holes. It's almost the eggs aren't gonna stand

590
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: pat And even if it was more of the same

591
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 1: next year, we went to the World Series. You know,

592
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: we we you know, we played in the World Series.

593
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't a miserable year. We got a voicemail about that.

594
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: But I think that, uh, you know, they're definitely gonna

595
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: try and shop around for a top like a back

596
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: end of the rotator or back into the bullpen guy,

597
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: whether it's Scott, whether it's Hoffman, I think they're gonna

598
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: try and get an outfielder. And I think they're gonna

599
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: get either a first base or a third baseman. But

600
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about first base because there's

601
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: a lot of options right now. Well, I wouldn't say

602
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: a lot of options. There's three primary options that the

603
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: Yankees have, and they are Ben Rice, who in his

604
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: age twenty five season hit two seventy three in the minors,

605
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: twenty four home runs, nine to sixty eight ops, hit

606
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: seven home runs and hit one seventy one during his

607
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: cup of coffee with the Yankees while Anthony Rizzo was

608
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: out Christian Walker again, he's gonna be thirty four. He

609
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: hit two fifty one. I can see that continuing to

610
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: drop right and he it just doesn't he just rereak

611
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: of a guy who you signed and he hits two

612
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: thirty to twenty Yeah.

613
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: I don't see it. I don't see its.

614
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: Twenty six homers, eight oh three, excuse me, ops. And

615
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: then Pete Alonzo. I don't think he makes a lot

616
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: of sense. I really don't. I mean, thirty four home runs,

617
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: eighty eight RBI. Sure, he's an okay first baseman, another

618
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: right handed hitter. I mean, do you really want Judge

619
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: Alonso Stanton? Like, you need a left hand and you

620
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: gotta have a big lefty as one of your big hitters,

621
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: and I think Soto is the only guy.

622
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

623
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: So I think they're gonna go with Rice. I think

624
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna go with Ben Rice.

625
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna go with Ben Rice too. And

626
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 2: imagine Sodo goes to the Mets and we get Pete

627
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: a Lonzo that would just suck, That.

628
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: Would just see That would be awful.

629
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: That would be awful. I hate that. I don't want

630
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: either of those free agents. I don't think they provide

631
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: a lot of value due to age in their numbers

632
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 2: and the way they fit with the team. They're good players,

633
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: but just not for us man. I'd rather go with

634
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: Ben Rice and just see if he turns into anything,

635
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 2: and if not, I would address the position at the deadline.

636
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: I'd much much much rather than go after a third

637
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: baseman and then they're gonna be like DJ LeMay using

638
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: the mix for first base. I'd rather look in the field.

639
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: In the field, I'd rather put DJ at first than third. Like,

640
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 2: let's just be kind of clear about.

641
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even want DJ on the field, Like,

642
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: I don't even want DJ in the organization. I know

643
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: they owe him thirty million dollars, but he's clearly done.

644
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: We talked about this the other day about how the

645
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: Yankees are so stubborn. They always think that they're smarter

646
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: than Oh, where this guy's gonna turn it around? Father

647
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: time has caught up with DJ Lemayhew.

648
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 2: Eric, I'm in lockstep with you. I think they should

649
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: eat the contract. I'm just saying, like, this is what

650
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: they're gonna do, and when they do do this, I'm

651
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 2: myself I would rather put him at first than third.

652
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: So my main thing is I'd rather make a trade

653
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: or sign a free agent to play third, then have

654
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: a first basement that we signed. I'd rather just roll

655
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: with Ben Rice and then address it at the deadline

656
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: and find a third baseman. I'd much rather go that direction.

657
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: Adam says, Ben Rice, Are you kidding? Look, I think

658
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: he'll be better second year, second time around. Like he

659
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: has a good swing. He had a couple of holes

660
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: in his swing. I think he was pressing a little

661
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: bit too, knowing that Rizzo was coming back. I gotta

662
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: keep hitting or whatever. I think he'll do better, uh second,

663
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: second time around and a left handed hitter in Yankee Stadium,

664
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there are worst outcomes than that. Let's talk

665
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: a little bit about the man of the hour, and

666
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: that is Roki Sazaki. We've seen a lot of reorts

667
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: that the Dodgers are interested. Pretty much every team is

668
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: going to be interested because he's gonna get basically an

669
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: amateur contract. I mean, you're signing him for the bonus

670
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: pull money, and then he gets a rookie contract. Any

671
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: thoughts on Roki Sazaki. I'm hesitant because I feel like,

672
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: despite the cost being relatively cheap, I feel like he's

673
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: gonna spend his entire career on the injured list. He

674
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: just he strikes me as the Jacob de Gram of Japan,

675
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: where he does things that are humanly almost impossible, right,

676
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean and we saw his numbers ticked down, his

677
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: metrics ticked down a little bit already this year at

678
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: twenty three years old, he does have great numbers in

679
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: Japan two point oh two career ERA. I turned twenty

680
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: three years old just a week ago, two point three

681
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: to five ERA this season, one hundred and eleven innings pitched,

682
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty nine strikeouts, thirty two walks, so

683
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: good command. What are your thoughts on Roki Well.

684
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: I remember watching him in the WBC pisson for Japan

685
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: and then the the that offseason, Yamamoto was the big fish,

686
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 2: and we were obviously in on Yamamoto, but I remember thinking, like,

687
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: this is the guy I would rather Sasaki over Yamamoto.

688
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: I mean, this guy's got filthy, filthy stuff. It's just

689
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: that the way he's built. He's like six two and

690
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: like one seventy, so he's really he is very wiry,

691
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: and I do think Tommy john is in his future.

692
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 2: But because the all it's going to cost is the

693
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 2: international signing bonus money, like it's worth it. I just

694
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: think it's worth it. Teams are spending forty million on

695
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: guys that are are getting Tommy Jerones with me so

696
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: this is worth noting though, Derek. I have the international

697
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 2: bonus pools listed, like what teams have. The Dodgers and

698
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: the Giants actually have the least amount of money out

699
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: of the whole league at five point one million dollars,

700
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: So maybe something to consider there. They would have to

701
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: blow the whole pool money on it, but they have

702
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: the least amount of money.

703
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: That I read something else, Dodgers. I read that the

704
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: Dodgers have the most amount of money for international I

705
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: think international pool money. I think you get a maximum

706
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: of five point one million, that's what the maximum is.

707
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: I think you got your numbers mixed up there, and

708
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: then the Dodgers have added on I believe two and

709
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: a half on top of that.

710
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: I mean, because you can acquire this is from MLB

711
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: Deadline News. I have the Yankees with six point two international.

712
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Well, well we'll ask the audience the fact checking that.

713
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: But probably probably should have looked up those numbers. But

714
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: I read that the Dodgers have the most that they,

715
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: you know, to offer.

716
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: If that's the case, even regardless, I think the Dodgers

717
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 2: are heavy, heavy, heavy favorites to sign him. I mean

718
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 2: they already got the other two Japanese superstars. It's the

719
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: whole closer to Japan situation. I think everyone is sort

720
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 2: of kind of chalking that up that there are the

721
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: heavy favorites to sign him, maybe Seattle, just because each

722
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: row played there. Seattle's kind of like a franchise over

723
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: there in Japan. And again it's still on the West Coast.

724
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, if I'm the Yankees, I'd be very very

725
00:33:58,520 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 2: very interested.

726
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be interesting to see how it shakes out.

727
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun winter. A lot of moves

728
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: coming real soon. Usually right around Thanksgiving is when we

729
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: see the first people signed. There might be one or

730
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: two people who sign early, but then we'll see the

731
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: relievers start to drop off in like mid November, and

732
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: then you'll see the first big position player, you know,

733
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: right around Thanksgiving, and then the Winter Meetings in early

734
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: December is when we're gonna see the bulk of the movement.

735
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: And then we'll see guys like Corbyn Burns sign late

736
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: January early February as teams are getting ready to report

737
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: to camp. Because he's gonna get the biggest contract of

738
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: any of the starting pitchers out there. So I think

739
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: that's what every team is looking for starting pitching and

740
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: obviously Juan Soto. I mean, he's the elephant in the room.

741
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: You know. If he signs with the Yankees, I think

742
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: it'll be rather soon. The longer it goes, I think

743
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: the chances that the Yankees have drops more and more

744
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: each day.

745
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see him signing during the win meetings. To

746
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 2: be honest, I think that's when a lot of stuff's

747
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 2: gonna go down. But he's gonna take his time. I

748
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: saw some Mets account was like, you know, insider, the

749
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 2: deal is done with the Mets. It's like the third

750
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: day of free agency has like look, even if he

751
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 2: ends up going to the Mets, he's not signing on

752
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 2: the third day of free agency. He's gonna take his time.

753
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 2: He's definitely gonna take his time with it. I think

754
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 2: he'll sign during the winter meetings. Maybe the Yankees will

755
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 2: get an early Christmas present. I don't know, but that's

756
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 2: probably when it gets done.

757
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate it. TK. We're gonna let TK go.

758
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: I've got to run a quick ad and then I'll

759
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: be back with your voicemails. TK. We'll talk to you

760
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: later on this winter. See you guys, Are you looking

761
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: to bring those autumn vibes into your kitchen. Have you

762
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: tried Hello Fresh. It's America's number one meal kit and

763
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: they give me over fifty recipes to choose from every week.

764

781
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 6: Melvin here in Columbus, Ohio, originally from New York.

782
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 7: What's just ask your opinion about how do you feel

783
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 7: about how So? Obviously us, as Yankees fans were always

784
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 7: trying Shane, you know, cash Man, We're always trashing Boom.

785
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 3: But I come from a management background and these are

786
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 3: all employees of How. Right, as a manager, you're controlling

787
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 3: the ship. I feel like it should be on How.

788
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 3: You know, he should take the blame for we should

789
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 3: get How the blame not cashing in Bloom because he keep.

790
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 6: These people on his payroll, you know. So I feel like,

791
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 6: in my opinion might be that you know, as the

792
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 6: Yankee things, you need to shift the blame to How

793
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 6: and have them hold these you know, Cashman and Boone accountable.

794
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 6: I want to hear your thoughts, Thank you, Derek about

795
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 6: the show.

796
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean, as you're not alone in thinking that. I mean,

797
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, how accountable can you hold people for making

798
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: it to the World Series, for winning the American League? Pennant,

799
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: I think that, uh, the Yankees definitely played sloppy baseball.

800
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: That comes down to Boone and his coaching staff is

801
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: definitely a little bit on the organization too, because they

802
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: decide what to prioritize. But how has been spending the mine?

803
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean Hall has spent over three hundred million dollars.

804
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: I mean he spent over three hundred million this this year.

805
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: He spent two ninety something last year. He spends it's

806
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: on Cashman. Now, if you want to blame Hell for

807
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: keeping Cashman around, I can get on board with that,

808
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: because I feel like Cashman should have been gone after

809
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: the two thousand and four collapse, right, I mean, the

810
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: Yankees won in two thousand and nine, but that wasn't

811
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: on Cashman. That was how buying the three best free agents.

812
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. So, I mean, I hear you, and

813
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 1: I hear the the complaint about how, But I think

814
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: Hal is doing what he can do. He stepped in

815
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: to personally sign Judge. He's getting on a plane to

816
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: California to go try and sign Juan Soto. Let's hope

817
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: that Soto gives him the answer that he wants when

818
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: he asks him, do you want to be a Yankee?

819
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: And we'll we'll find out what Hell's made of.

820
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 8: Hey, Derek, comparison. I want your thoughts about what we

821
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 8: should do in the pitching. I know in the in

822
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 8: your blueprint video you really didn't make any additions to

823
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 8: starting pitching at all.

824
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 5: I agree with you. I don't really think we need

825
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 5: to add anyone any starters.

826
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 8: I've seen a lot of people talk about getting Blake Snell,

827
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 8: but I think that would be a terrible idea for

828
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 8: a few reasons.

829
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 5: Number one, yes, Nell's peak. You know you could win

830
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 5: a cy young but now.

831
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 8: Also has those several months with a five DRA And

832
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 8: the last thing we need in our pitching.

833
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 5: Rotation right now is more inconsistency. I would be fine signing,

834
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 5: you know, a mid level starter or three four guy

835
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 5: if we know we can get solid, you know, three

836
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 5: and a half e RA baseball out of him for

837
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 5: an entire year. But as I see it right now,

838
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 5: I think our pitching rotation is set again. You know,

839
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 5: I just want your thoughts, what you think about Snell? Thanks.

840
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: I like Snell. I like Snell as a pitcher. I

841
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 1: don't think that's where the Yankees are going to allocate

842
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: their money though. I mean, they were the only team

843
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: entering the playoffs that had five healthy starting pitchers they

844
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: actually had six. Cortes not gonna be healthy next year.

845
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: He's got the elbow injury. I expect him to be

846
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: hitting the shelf by May, and then Marcus Stroman is

847
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: gonna fade down the stretch. So really you can count

848
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: on having four starters. Garrett Cole, who knows with the elbow,

849
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: Luis Heal, who knows after the workload this year, Carlos Rodin,

850
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 1: who knows period what he's gonna give you on any

851
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: given day. Clark Schmidt, he had the oblique thing, but

852
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a really solid pitcher next year.

853
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: I think the oblique thing was just kind of a

854
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: freak occurrence because he's been mostly healthy for his career.

855
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: You know, I don't see them. I don't see them

856
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: allocating money to a big time starting pitcher. I could

857
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: see him getting a back end guy like Kokuchi, you know,

858
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: or you know, somebody of that ilk, But I don't

859
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: see them spending big.

860
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 4: What's up? Derek just going in with a little reflection

861
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 4: here on the what was of the twenty twenty four season.

862
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 4: I'm probably a little bit younger than you, but I

863
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 4: was alive for all the nineties all the nineties runs there.

864
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 4: This this had to be one of the more fun

865
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 4: seasons I can remember, at least in recent history. I

866
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 4: mean obviously going back to nine, but man, this was

867
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 4: This is a good team, We had a good shot.

868
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 4: It was a fun year. It's definitely gonna look a

869
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 4: little bit different next year, and I'm kind of excited

870
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 4: to see what that brings. I'm not sure if we

871
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 4: will be the top dog bringing in soda. I kind

872
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 4: of have a feeling that that's going to be Cohen,

873
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 4: and I think that actually could be fine if we

874
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 4: if we properly fill the rest of the roster. You

875
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 4: just don't want to go necessarily too cheap. But it's

876
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 4: hard to obviously get an All Star at every single position.

877
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 4: But I think I think they got a good shot

878
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 4: to fill out another really good competitive roster for next year.

879
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 4: All right, Man, can't wait to see what happens here.

880
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 4: I hope to see some more offseason content.

881
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: Brian always with the hopeful comments. We got Adam here

882
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: in the chat who says that John Carlos Stanton is

883
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: a bust. Oh my god, we can never call John

884
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton a bust again. After the way he performed

885
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: in the postseason now a couple of times, and he

886
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: just won ALCS MVP. He carried the Yankees to the

887
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: World Series. He had a big home run in the

888
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: World Series. He's one of the only guys who hit

889
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: in the entire postseason. We you know, we got a

890
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: chill on that. The dude is now Yankee legend. I mean,

891
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, even if they didn't win the World Series

892
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: like his his postseason bona fetus alone are enough to

893
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: keep him on this roster and make him not a

894
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: bullpit or not a bus Jaden Pegance is what about

895
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: Severino to the bullpen? Why would he do that? He

896
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: can get money elsewhere as a starter. I wouldn't count

897
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: on it. I wouldn't count on it. All right, ladies

898
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, thanks for watching. Obviously, it's been a tough,

899
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: tough winter for the Yankees because we're not sure about Soto.

900
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: We're coming off of a terrible loss the You know,

901
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: if you lose a game like that in June, it

902
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: stings for a couple of weeks. And to lose a

903
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: game like that in Game five of the World Series,

904
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: with that historically bad fifth inning, it's gonna you know

905
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: some of us may never get over it, right, I

906
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: mean some of them. I'm sure Judge will never get

907
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 1: over it. I'm sure Garret Cole is gonna be having

908
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 1: bad dreams about that, you know, first first base play

909
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: for the rest of his life. But as fans, you know,

910
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: our job is to look forward to next year and

911
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: to you know, root for our guys to get better

912
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: and and support the team. And you know, I do

913
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: think that they're gonna make an effort to get back

914
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: to the World Series and hopefully have a chance to

915
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: win it. Dodgers are gonna be great. Dodgers are gonna

916
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 1: be dynasty level good, especially if they get Soto. So

917
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:13,719
