We're gonna talk about everything going on 0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:14.320 the aj mint trade, as well as some new rumors 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.440 that are circulating.

I have not been on Twitter, 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.000 just did my research on the players. It feels super 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.600 adequate for three months of a believer who throws like 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:43.639 ninety two miles an hour. 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:43.879 Yeah. 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.320 I mean we were joking about it before because a 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:49.040 lot of people online which probably shouldn't really be paying 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:50.840 too much attention to it, but I am because that's 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:52.600 the world that we live in. A lot of people 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:54.960 underwhelmed by the package back, being like we got no 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.320 big prospects. I don't know what you guys were truthfully expecting, 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.320 Like you said, for two months of a life tended 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:01.760 reliever throws ninety two miles an hour. 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:02.800 Aj Minter's good. 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:04.680 This is nothing against the quality of the player that 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.600 he was, but he's like the nineteenth best, twentieth best 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:12.319 left handed reliever in baseball on a rental. I just 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.399 I don't really know what people were expecting back, And 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.000 I do think that it was a pretty fair of 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.119 like package back that the Mets got, And I think 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:23.040 that there's even some like outside upside for what these 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.000 guys could eventually be. But I understand why on the 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.880 surface people are like underwhelmed. But if you take a 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.080 deeper look under the hood, you know why this was happening. 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.080 Yeah, it's basically just it's kind of something you've been 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.200 saying a lot off air that you want from this deadline. 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.440 Just give me a trait, give me something that a 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.440 player is very good at, and see if you can 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.119 do something with it. And between these two players, Brewin 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.720 Agbayani is is a big piece in this deal. He's 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.640 dealt with some shoulder injuries. He hasn't played much over 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.880 since being drafted in twenty twenty five. Signed out of 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.560 high school, Twins took him away from University of Michigan. 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.240 He just makes an obscene amount of contact. 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:57.960 Yes, and he has good back speed. His bat speed's 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.600 above average. I saw it was very low. Oh well, 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.080 coming out of high school. They said it was above 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.440 average bats. That's interesting. But also they talked about I 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.200 think at the combine he flashed like a one oh 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.480 nine max exit velow as an eighteen year old, So 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.720 that's something to keep an eye out onto. I think 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.920 that being a contact plus guy this young is a 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:16.520 lot better than when it's like a twenty four year 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.520 old who's a contact plus guy, because there's room for 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.239 development and growth. But yeah, it seems like a contact 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:25.080 first player who's gonna maybe play second base, maybe shortstop 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.560 for a little bit, but he's gonna need some improvement 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.320 if he wants to stick there. But he's a he's 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.680 a contact first bat for a guy that again was 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:32.440 a two month rental. 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.480 Yeah, just give me some again, very very small samples 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.880 here of what he's done so far in a ball 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.519 he has a ninety four percent zone contact rate and 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.200 a fifteen percent with right Those are both some of 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.320 the best marks at the entire level. But that's come 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.959 with literally almost no power whatsoever. Again, not much sample 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:50.760 here whatsoever, but that's that's kind of what this is. 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.000 And he's a left handed bat, so at least in 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.079 terms of player archetype, if you want to look at 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.440 some kind of, you know, bench piece who can mix 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.359 it in second base and also be a lefty bat, 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.760 strong sideplatoon guy, that's at least something that you can 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.600 see and you can squint in if a player like 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.120 this can edd strength, get healthy off their shoulder, can 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.960 maybe dream on being some kind of first division semi regular. 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:13.800 And I do think that it's worth noting to like 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.560 what he's been scouted as in the past two especially 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.520 for a guy who hasn't played very much. So the 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.600 scouting report is a little bit weird right now because 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.120 you just haven't seen a lot of the professional level. 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:24.280 But coming out of the draft, he was like a 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:28.160 top four hundred player according to Baseball America, which basically 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.760 puts him in like that top ten round range, which 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.960 isn't too bad. They said at the combine he looked 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.560 pretty good has a chance to stick at shortstop, but 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.600 mostly going to probably move to second base or even 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.160 the outfield. While he doesn't have like one carrying tool. 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.080 The hand speed's good, the quality of contacts, good line 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.680 drive hitter. These are things that if the Mets truly 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.920 believe in their minor league hitting development, especially because he's 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.080 a big dude. He's six foot two, like one eighty 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.800 five close to two hundred pounds. Good power, Yeah, you 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.880 could find some power here. And you mentioned the shoulder injury. 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.640 It's hard to get a lot of power when you 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.800 come off of a shoulder injury like that at a 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.400 young age, developing learning. 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.680 I like the Agbayanni poll. Also cool because it's Dad 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.560 Betty Agbayani. I like that. I like a good story 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.200 when you trade a nothing for nothing. 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.200 And again this is also seventy four play appearance is 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.400 at low way. He's still nineteen years old, so a 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.760 lot a lot of the story left right here. And 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.160 then going to Billy Ammick. He played one year at Tennessee. 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.520 Big power, big swing and miss a right handed corner. 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.560 Guys who don't like that kind of player. Yeah he's 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.480 gonna fait first base. Yeah, he's gonna be a first 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.360 baseman who his for power and does tons of swings 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.880 and misses, the complete opposite of bruin Agbayani, where whereas 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.880 an amix zone contact rate amis just his zone contact 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.880 rate seventy percent double A this year. At the same time, 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:40.840 he's twenty three home runs and that's an eighty six 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.479 games nearly four hundred played appearance is. 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:43.680 So that's something cool. 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.440 But he's just gonna he's good to swing for the 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:46.680 fences and hope something good happens. 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.320 Yeah, I think he's flashed some eggs of vilos at 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.640 like one twelve, which would be above average power. The 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.520 swing and miss is definitely a concern, and again, he's 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.840 gonna play like what we consider to be like a 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.839 not valuable position when you're evaluating prospects, being truthfully at 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.400 first base, but he's not gonna be at three base 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.039 as already as alrighty, but going back to it again, 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.480 like he was a top thirty player in the twenty 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.120 twenty four MLB draft. Obviously, the swing and miss stuff 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.080 is very concerning when you're looking at him projecting for 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.080 the future, because if you're swinging and missing this much 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.200 at double A, it can be a concern of what 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.599 you would swing and miss at against major league pitching. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.760 But I just don't think that there's necessarily this big 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.800 concern in terms of we traded aj Minter for him. 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.560 I love to see that we got big power potential 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.040 and that's something that we're gonna have to develop now 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:30.039 is more back to ball. 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.680 Yeah, it's again, it's the way it works for a 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.719 seller at the trade deadline, not really in a great spot. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.359 You don't really get tons for rental relievers. It's just 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.720 the nature of the beast here, so they get anything 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.640 with mild intrigue. And also Amick was he was drafted, 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.280 I have it right here out of Tennessee was the 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.080 second round, sixtieth overall pick. He signed for the complete 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:51.040 slid value of that pick. Like it's it's guys, you're 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.400 adding to a minor league system that if one of 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.960 them reaches the majors and gives you big contribution, like ah, sick. 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:56.440 Yeah. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.679 And also like this is gonna be a like really 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.440 really crazy conversation now to have about the future. But 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.680 like you gotta fill up your farm system with more 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.800 capable players, and right now the bottom of the Mets 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.360 system is super super weak. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.280 There's a big gap right now. Bottom is strong, the 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.880 middle is weak. Well, the bottom is not really that 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:14.640 strong either. 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.560 I think the middle is stronger than it is the 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:17.960 bottom because you look at the bottom of the Mets 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.800 farm system right now, and it's like Marco Vargas, Cam Tilly, 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.400 Antonio Jimas, it's a lot of I like Tilly when 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.599 you're saying bottom, I'm thinking like the DSL guys. 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.320 So there's the only guy's flashing on our system right now. 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.279 No, I'm talking about I'm not talking about like in 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.159 terms of age. I'm talking about in terms of like 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.400 rankings across the publications, like from. 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.640 Twenty to thirty. It's very very very. 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.400 Open all Yeah, different conversations there. Yeah, which is again 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:41.720 that that's just something that has not clicked over the 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:42.840 last few years, which is a shame. 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.320 If the Mets ever become a good baseball team again, 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:46.520 these are guys that could be on the move to 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:47.200 go get. 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.560 AJ Mintors of the future to help us win games. 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:51.600 Next year if we are good enough to want an 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.960 aj mintor. Theoretically now we could possibly get an h 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.000 Minter yeah for nothing. And last year we did this 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:58.840 and this offseason, we did this, so we traded away 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.400 a lot of those guys who you trade for AJ minters. Yeah, 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.320 just by as frank Ela Salt, like the what was 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.480 the guy from Harvard? We keep forgeting that guy's name, Truan, Paul, 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.159 Truman Paul. With these the guys you trade to get 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.680 your AJ mentors, you're Louise Roberts, your guys that you 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.320 add to a contending team. That's just nature of the business. 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:18.200 We also have underdog MLBST. I think Michael Marino. 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.600 Oh, really shout out her point, Mike what they cite him. 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.600 With of Freddie peralta for George Walcow as a proposed rumor. 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.960 Okay, I mean I like Walcow. He's got talk about 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.440 a dude who has legit power. Walcow's got major power. 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.280 I think he got like a sixty or seventy grade 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.680 coming out of the draft. Also, I'm biased because he 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.600 was committed to the University of South Carolina, so I 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:37.520 always love to see that. 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.600 The name sounds like something that be on the game 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:40.520 Cock baseball team. 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.080 But he's a He's an Illinois boy through and through. 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.040 Eighty grade raw power. Yeah, that's sick right now. He 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:47.800 has a sixty grade power. That's awesome. 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:49.920 He's never I mean, he's he's pretty. He's still striking 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:51.440 out thirty two percent of the time in Hya. Probably 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.160 i'd still shoot higher for Freddy. I think that they're 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:55.600 gonna get higher for Freddy too. 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:57.120 I think another one of the rumors that came out 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.280 about Freddy Praulta over the last few hours is that 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.560 the Mets are looking for a top one hundred prospect 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.880 and another piece as well, exactly we've. 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:05.680 Been saying months now. 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.240 I think that that's nice that the reporters out there, 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.000 possibly this is all smoked green stuff just for the 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.680 Mets to put that's price out there. But it does 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.320 seem like the Mets are going to get a lot 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.360 more for Freddy Peralta than a lot of us Mets 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.600 fans might think, which is nice because he's. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.680 He's a pitcher. He's still our best asset. He's definitely 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.280 our best asset, there's no doubt about it. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.640 Especially to day, you just want something, your best traded asset. 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.400 Yeah, we're seeing what rental relievers are getting. It's not 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.800 going to ever be particularly much, and the Mets don't 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.440 have the elite rental reliever. They've got Luke Weaver, who's 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.640 gonna be the best one that is available. But because 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.079 the money, you probably aren't going to still get those 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.640 top top prospects that Mets fans are hoping for. I 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.120 that's one thing that I see, like the conversation about 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.040 the returns back, Like, guys, you gotta know that it's 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.520 not going to be getting the next great Mets outfielder 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.320 or starting pitcher on the market this year. 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.600 You're hoping that's for Freddy maybe Clay Holmes. Possibly. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.600 It's also the kind of thing, like we've talked about 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.320 a lot, like the Mets really good chance leave this 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.000 trade deadline without acquiring a single top hundred prospects. 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:04.480 It's very possible, but it's. 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.880 The kind of thing where like, hopefully by next July, 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.319 you look at like the seven prospects the Mets got, 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:10.960 you're like, all three of these guys actually are sneak 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:12.080 into the back of the top hundred. 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.200 And I think looking at what the Mets have done 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.960 with their farm system over the last few years, even 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.360 a guy like aj Ewing, who want when he came 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.240 into the system, he was not a top one hundred guy. 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.600 He just started to flash in the bottom top one 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.000 hundred last year. 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.720 Like, things can change very very quickly. 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.000 And if the Mets do believe in the process that 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.960 they have in the farm system, which has proven itself 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.679 to be pretty good so far, get us guys, get 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.839 us pieces, get us more people in there. And I'm 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.480 thinking that by them trading and identifying and being able 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.560 to hand pick the guys that they want, they see 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:43.600 a vision with them. 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.600 It's also kind of like, again, remember when we were 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.520 in this spot last season as buyers rather than sellers, 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:52.040 and we made a trade of Jose Boutteau, played Blade Tidwell, 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.120 and Drew Gilbert for Tyler Rodgers, who still since then 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.000 has been one of the best believers in all baseball 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.920 in terms of effectiveness, And people like the Mets got fleeced, 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.600 and all three of those guys are contributing very little 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:03.920 at the. 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:04.880 Magic level there. 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.480 Honestly three of them are DFA candidates, yes literally. So again, 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.760 it's just when you're in this spot as the seller, 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:12.680 it's a little bit more difficult to recoup value the 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.120 buyer wins a trade deadline deal, Like I mean, except 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.679 for my friend Zach Scott, like eighty percent of the 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.760 time by A Scott. No, we'll talk about that in 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.280 a second here, but that's just what this. So you 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.160 have to try and get something that you think can 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.800 grow into something it's not you're not going to get 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.280 I mean, I don't know if you guys do mercantilism 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.439 when you were doing APUs history, like. 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.480 I got it. I was APUs history. 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.280 You're not getting finished products when you're making trades for 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.760 relatively non value bleassets and rental relievers. Like, you have 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:44.920 to get something that you can figure out some way 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.079 around to develop, to grow, And eighteen months from now 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.600 you're like, oh, Brunock Baiani's flashing at double A, Like 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.440 that's the goal. I want to say that sentence on 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.120 this podcast. By the end of next season. 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:54.840 Yeah, that'd be great. 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.640 Be like ooh, like a top two hundred prospect Brewock 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:58.680 Baiani amazing. 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.280 Yeah, like brun BEHINDI might actually have enough to mix 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.280 in at the major league level of twenty twenty eight. 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.640 Like, which would be great. And oh, who've been traded 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:06.840 for him? Oh? Yeah it was aj Mentory. 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:08.480 Oh Dan, that was cool that the Twins missed the 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.559 playoffs by a game, like two games with him? 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:11.920 Yeah, And then like, oh, Billy A. 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.240 Mctriple a has thirty Homer, Sure call him up, see 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:15.880 what's going on, See if he can be hot for 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:16.640 a couple of weeks. 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.080 Maybe we can get a reliever for Billy Emick this 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.240 offseason something like that. Yeah, why not? 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.360 I think that the process is good right now. From 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.520 the trades that we have seen, We're obviously gonna see 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.559 a lot more. Might even be back later today to 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.720 talk about some trades because I have a feeling Freddy 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.040 Perlt is gonna be traded today. 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.040 I mean, I don't want him to start tonight. He 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.840 should not be starting to. I still can't even believe it. 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:36.760 I have that. 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.680 But again, like you're just not going to get monster 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.000 returns for three months of ann Elie reliever. 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.559 No, And I'm gonna prepare you guys to Brooks Raley. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.760 It's gonna be similar ish. 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.480 Yeah, unless we can package Brooks Raley together with Freddy Pralt, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.720 which is why I've advocated for that this entire deadline 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.560 coming through, and it does feel like there's more steam 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:58.319 around packaging Luke Weaver with Clay Holmes together to get 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.600 a near Pringe borderline. 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.160 Top hunch ofd prospect kind of guy. That's how the 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:03.280 Mets should should operate. 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.199 I think, I don't know, Like at the end of 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:06.720 the day, we're not gonna talk too much more about 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.199 this because it's an aj minter trade. 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.200 But now you guys are sickos listening to us, so 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.560 we love you. Yeah, and again quick fifteen minute and 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:13.920 I hope you guys do the work day. I wanted 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:15.360 to say, Zac Scott tweet really fast. 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:15.640 Yeah. 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.599 Sure, So in case you guys didn't know, James and 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.800 Zach Scott getting into it a little bit kind of 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.440 I mean, so we shouted out Noah Danglar, he's a 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.959 Mets fan, lives in the city, he's doing sabermetric stuff, 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.679 and he had a good tweet that we literally read 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.040 out in the podcast last week about the combined war 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:31.960 of all the Mets bad players and how much money 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:32.600 they're making. 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:37.400 Yes, Polanco, Simeon, Sanga, the whole squad. And then Danglar's 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.920 tweet was tweeting out about how upset he still was 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.040 about the PCA have you bias trade? Which that was 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:44.720 That was a funny moment for us to because remember 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.200 on camera, I was freaking out. 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:46.800 We were not. 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.199 Happy because we saw we got Haavier bias. We're like ooh, 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.320 and then we're like, please don't be PCA. And then 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.559 the news came through and someone's gonna tweet us the clip. 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.400 I know someone has it right now, so please tweet 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:56.600 out if you can so we could use it. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.960 But it's we tweeted PCA, no oh, why did we 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.200 do that? Holy shit? We were right? Yeah. 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.440 So that I responded to Noah because he was like, 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.960 how did this trade happen? What was Zack Scott thinking? 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.440 And I said, on you know, late night on Thursday, 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.240 finished up my work on Wednesday, Thursday morning. Wednesday night, 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.319 he talks about the new podcast every month you get 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:16.920 an answer soon. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:18.839 That was kind of funny, little tongue in cheek. 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.080 I think it's one of those where, like Zach Scott, 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.280 if you are listening to this, I don't think there 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.520 was any malice ment. No. I think it's like and 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.679 you should be able to laugh about that, like at 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:29.160 this point. 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.920 It also was really ironically funny that that day he 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.640 went on Salakaya's podcast Yes talked about this trade in 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.600 many other trades because he had a fruitful careers and executive. 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.240 We had Zack Scott on ours and he talked about 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:41.520 it too. 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.439 This is what everybody wants to talk to him about 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.280 because this is objectively one of the worst trades of 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:47.160 the last five years. 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.959 Yes, and it's a shame that that becomes the lasting image. 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.600 Of a guy who I did have a fruitful career 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:53.680 in baseball front offices. Sound in front office and he 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.920 responds to me, don't be a sarcastic prick to people 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:58.240 who gave your pod their time. 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.880 Fair. Fair, it's so fair, such a fair response. But 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.520 also at the same time, like, can I have a 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.400 little thickers that come on? Yeah? I just I don't know. 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.680 It kind of makes me feel bad like his ex Scott, 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.360 like name searching. This is he really in the depths 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.120 here because he hasn't following me. I don't follow him? 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:14.000 Yeah, like I don't. 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.160 I don't think Like you're like, I'm so sorry He'sax 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.160 Scott to you, But also at the same time you're like, 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.520 I hope, I wish you didn't take it personally. 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.040 It wasn't meant to be a personal shot. 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.400 It's more of like I'd be upset this made you 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.520 feel bad because this is again, this is now his 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.000 lasting image and that sucks. 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:31.040 Yes, that sucks. 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.600 So Zack Scott formal apology. Yeah, apologies. I bo the 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.000 sarcastic preck. Sometimes I can be a sarcastic prick.
