Speaker 1: So trade Deadline.
Speaker 2: You heard Dan Bayer give you some of the updates,
Speaker 2: I mean as far as impactful. Hey, if you want
Speaker 2: to discuss what you think are the biggest ones, Like
Speaker 2: I mean, could you say that Philly got a lot
Speaker 2: better than the Red Sox are in it to win it?
Speaker 2: They got Adley Ruschman. You could say that schoobl to
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. Clay Holmes to the Cubs is a big one.
Speaker 2: This there's Freddy Peralta to the Rays giving them another
Speaker 2: starter Cavino as we go down the stretch. That's pretty
Speaker 2: big in the Al East for sure. But the biggest,
Speaker 2: most sexiest move by far was school Bulls the first
Speaker 2: announce they got out the way the other pieces could
Speaker 2: fall do it again, and we're of course going to
Speaker 2: discuss is this good or bad for baseball? I heard
Speaker 2: they might get skeens. Just kidding, but seriously, come on, ridiculous.
Speaker 2: But here's the question you when you say to yourself,
Speaker 2: is this fair or not? I and the first guy
Speaker 2: to tell you in the nineties and two thousands, when
Speaker 2: people would say the Yankees are buying championships. As much
Speaker 2: as I hated the Yankees and I'm a Mets fan,
Speaker 2: I never loved that narrative completely because so many of
Speaker 2: the Yankees that were part of that dynasty, from you know,
Speaker 2: the Jeters, to the Marianna Rivera's they were, to the
Speaker 2: Bernie Williams. They were homegrown guys. So you couldn't I
Speaker 2: hate it when people say the Yankees bought it. They
Speaker 2: did buy players. There's a huge difference. And you can't
Speaker 2: compare the Evil Empires. You really can't, because they had
Speaker 2: the core four of Pasada, Jeter, Pettit, and Mo Rivera,
Speaker 2: plus Bernie O'Neil was a Yankee from ninety one or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know he was.
Speaker 2: Red at heart, but he was on the Yankees playing
Speaker 2: with maddingly back in the day. Like they had a
Speaker 2: lot of dudes that were there for a long time
Speaker 2: and in the farm system and then filled in the pieces.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers do not have as many homegrown people, let's
Speaker 2: be real about that. But still they're doing good business.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to take anything away from them. I'm
Speaker 2: just saying they're making it really hard to beat them.
Speaker 2: Still possible, but that's still the biggest move by far.
Speaker 2: A rise to the Phillies. That's a big move because
Speaker 2: he's a coveted piece. You know, he's a guy that
Speaker 2: gets on base. I know, batting average doesn't mean a
Speaker 2: lot in today's game, but you still need dudes to
Speaker 2: get on base and you know, be there on base
Speaker 2: when people are hitting home runs. So props to them.
Speaker 2: But man, I can't believe that the Dodgers did it again.
Speaker 1: I really can't. That's still the biggest story.
Speaker 2: I mean, according to Las Vegas, besides the Dodgers, your
Speaker 2: Yankees and Dan Bayer, your Brewers are are number two
Speaker 2: and number three based on what they think the odds
Speaker 2: are for a team to win the World Series this year.
Speaker 3: It's been quite the weekend of the narratives, especially with
Speaker 3: Milwaukee losing out on Schooble and now they just lost
Speaker 3: out on Clay Holmes. You get Dustin May earlier today
Speaker 3: in a deal with the Cardinals. But yeah, there are
Speaker 3: a lot of angles on the school thing, just as
Speaker 3: like a Brewers fan. The Brewers were swept by the
Speaker 3: Dodgers last year in the NLCS, and I almost think
Speaker 3: it was more important that they kept Schooball off of
Speaker 3: the Dodgers than maybe even acquiring him themselves.
Speaker 2: It's like in football, if you could keep a guy
Speaker 2: out of your division, sometimes you even care if he's
Speaker 2: on your team. Get him out of my division, and
Speaker 2: now you gonna have to see him again, and he's
Speaker 2: on the team that's already the team to beat. But
Speaker 2: on the flip side to that, yeah, keep him off
Speaker 2: the team. But even if he was on the Brewers,
Speaker 2: that would have been a big time difference maker him
Speaker 2: and the miz would have been tough to beat in
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So yeah, it's really tough to see that
Speaker 2: dude on the Dodgers, But I think it puts a
Speaker 2: bigger target on the Dodgers' back, makes you want to
Speaker 2: beat them even more, you want to root against them.
Speaker 2: But does say that more so about what's going to
Speaker 2: have to happen in the off season and hopefully baseball
Speaker 2: doesn't strike and you know, but we know what we
Speaker 2: see coming down the down the road.
Speaker 1: Oh not rich, because you know it is good business.
Speaker 2: You can't be mad at the Dodgers for being good
Speaker 2: at business and making it count and making those moves
Speaker 2: and striking while they're hot and keeping that streak going.
Speaker 2: They're going for three in a row. You got to
Speaker 2: commend them. We all wish our teams were that aggressive, right,
Speaker 2: I gotta remember that entice. You got to remember when
Speaker 2: you when you get upset about these things. I always
Speaker 2: want to remind myself, am I jealous or am I
Speaker 2: mad at something?
Speaker 1: Legit? And a little of both? It's okay, a little true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I look at Danny g I look at
Speaker 1: your Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Danny. Just the other night I called you and I'm like,
Speaker 2: you have a little jealous He sent me a video
Speaker 2: of Edwin Diaz walking and I'm like, you don't even
Speaker 2: care about him. He was the only thing the Mets
Speaker 2: cheered about, the little Timmy Trumpet's entrance. And now like
Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz is just like another star your team has,
Speaker 2: Like that's not even.
Speaker 4: Like there are some question marks. So I know that
Speaker 4: Dodger haters are out in full force. But look at
Speaker 4: how they just got swept by the Red Sox, and
Speaker 4: the reason is because their second half of their starting
Speaker 4: pitching rotation right now is pretty horrible. You still got
Speaker 4: Glass now out injured, and Blake Snell has not seen
Speaker 4: the mound similar to last year how he was out
Speaker 4: injured for most of the season. O. Tawny has not
Speaker 4: been on the mound either because of that knee injury.
Speaker 4: So yeah, he's been batting, but he's no longer pitching
Speaker 4: right now. So that was the reason why we speculated
Speaker 4: last week that the Dodgers would pull the trigger with
Speaker 4: some of those prospects they have.
Speaker 2: I look at it this way, though, You know, the
Speaker 2: question is is it bad for baseball? And your thoughts
Speaker 2: as teams make these money moves. Trade deadline, Monday eight seven,
Speaker 2: seven ninety nine, O. Fox, Why did we watch Floyd
Speaker 2: Mayweather fights right to watch him lose? Of course, Dodger
Speaker 2: fans are going to root hard, But doesn't it make
Speaker 2: you want to root against the Dodgers that much more?
Speaker 2: Don't you want to tune in to watch the Dodgers lose?
Speaker 2: Aren you enticed to see somebody they've crossed? The Dodgers
Speaker 2: they've crossed the line. What is that a old Is
Speaker 2: it a Batman thing?
Speaker 5: Or I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm not a superhero guy, but like you, you live
Speaker 2: long enough, you go from hero to villain, sure or
Speaker 2: something like that. Sorry, I wasn't I didn't go see
Speaker 2: Spider Man this weekend. But no, there's a sense of
Speaker 2: the Dodgers of Riches.
Speaker 1: In't a hero guy. He's more like a mister Bean guy.
Speaker 1: I think mister Bean said that Rich fool me once,
Speaker 1: shame on me. I won't get fooled again.
Speaker 6: Guys, shame on, shame on.
Speaker 2: You can't get fooled again.
Speaker 1: That's what it was.
Speaker 2: But but the reality is they've stuck herround long enough
Speaker 2: as a hero that essentially, you know they have to
Speaker 2: pull a Hollywood Hogan.
Speaker 1: They're the bad guy now.
Speaker 2: And when you go through all the stars on their team,
Speaker 2: I did see the meme like everyone else did, floating
Speaker 2: around and Danny, you hit me up with it. So
Speaker 2: it's it's made the rounds when you look at the
Speaker 2: stars on this team. Mookie Betts traded because the Red
Speaker 2: Sox didn't want to give him an extension. The Braves
Speaker 2: chose Matt Olsen as their future over Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 5: And dropped the ball in those negotiations.
Speaker 2: Aut Remember Freddie Freeman was crying about that he didn't
Speaker 2: want to go in. Yeah, the Angels really didn't handle Otani,
Speaker 2: couldn't build a winner around him, even though they tried.
Speaker 5: And got nothing in return.
Speaker 2: And the Yankees had every shot at Yamamoto, but insisted
Speaker 2: on Garrett Cole being their ace. They paid more and
Speaker 2: Yamamoto went to the Dodgers. The Yankees had a chance there.
Speaker 5: Ardi Moreno, Yeah, he vetoed that Pajez trade.
Speaker 1: Remember the Rays didn't want to pay Glass. Now, the
Speaker 1: Cardinals gave up on Tommy Edmond.
Speaker 2: The A's just reassigned Maximun See I have we've done
Speaker 2: with you and the Tigers. Remember the arbitration deal was
Speaker 2: the biggest gap of money between the player and the team.
Speaker 2: Like remember they were, Yeah, we're gonna give you a
Speaker 2: ninety two dollars, that'll be what a SAMs clip, that'll
Speaker 2: be a ninety two dollars.
Speaker 5: Oh, that'll be uh.
Speaker 1: Four dollars.
Speaker 2: Close cry about it, and a lot of people are, no, man,
Speaker 2: good luck. Enjoy the rest of the season because there's
Speaker 2: not gonna be one next year, or you could just
Speaker 2: root harder and hope that someone in the NL even
Speaker 2: stops from from making the World Series. Man, it's not impossible,
Speaker 2: Like danyg said, it's not an automatic, dude, it's not.
Speaker 4: People were upset over Kyle Tucker and he's been tracked
Speaker 4: maybe the Dodgers worst.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you Kyle t.
Speaker 2: It's gone so on to the radar because they're just
Speaker 2: still the best team in baseball record wise, But Kyle
Speaker 2: Tucker that has not worked.
Speaker 3: Out, also struggling in the outfield, what's up debates? I
Speaker 3: would I would also just say two things. Number one,
Speaker 3: the Dodgers were two outs from losing the World Series
Speaker 3: last year. You know, like they there wouldn't have been
Speaker 3: a back to back if the Blue Jays could shut
Speaker 3: it down in the in the ninth inning.
Speaker 2: And they were up and down foot they were a
Speaker 2: Will Smith right, a Will Smith heeled down on the plate.
Speaker 2: I remember how dominant you Savage was last year against them.
Speaker 1: So it's not impossible.
Speaker 3: No, But I'll play I'll play Devil's advocate to the
Speaker 3: list that Rich read Off is the alternative for all
Speaker 3: of those players. The Dodgers are options and a lot
Speaker 3: of teams aren't.
Speaker 5: So you have the Red Sox.
Speaker 3: It's the Red Sox fault for not wanting to extend
Speaker 3: Mookie Bets. Not every other team is in on Mookie
Speaker 3: Bets and bringing him in there. The Dodgers are in
Speaker 3: all those conversations. Now that bit, maybe you know inherently
Speaker 3: because they're in LA or the Dodgers. And I feel
Speaker 3: like the Otani signing here, there really wasn't anywhere else
Speaker 3: that he could go. I thought that really made a
Speaker 3: fit outside of the Dodgers, and I think others felt
Speaker 3: that way. But I wouldn't say that the people who
Speaker 3: would like point to that list as saying, well, you
Speaker 3: know my you know my team. The Brewers wouldn't have
Speaker 3: been in on every one of those players, even though
Speaker 3: they were in on Schooble. And I think that's what
Speaker 3: some people have problems with. I think you're absolutely right.
Speaker 3: You being jealous, I think is the most honest thing
Speaker 3: about anything, because I think people try to craft their
Speaker 3: own arguments on why they should be right when the
Speaker 3: realization is yeah, just sometimes just sucks.
Speaker 5: Trust it to be into the spot.
Speaker 2: In the late nineties, I was I was a high
Speaker 2: school kid as a Mets fan. When the Yankees were
Speaker 2: winning every year, I like, I even then knew deep
Speaker 2: down inside, I'm like, I'm just jealous. I'm jealous because
Speaker 2: everything from the glory I saw my Yankee fan friends
Speaker 2: having in the three Peede and Jeter and winning, and.
Speaker 1: We used to joke that, like.
Speaker 2: You would even go to Yankee Stadium, it'd be like
Speaker 2: good looking women everywhere you go to, you know, city Field.
Speaker 2: There was a bunch of like like moms for long Islands.
Speaker 2: Like it was like everything about the Yankees was awesome,
Speaker 2: And I remember being like, man, deep down inside, I'm
Speaker 2: just Joe's you know what rich, That's fine, like Dan
Speaker 2: Byr said, if we could at least honestly admit that.
Speaker 2: But you know what, there is something we said though
Speaker 2: that if you are a free agent, and I guess
Speaker 2: that's just what are you gonna do? Los Angeles is
Speaker 2: an appealing place to live. We all moved out here.
Speaker 1: Everyone here.
Speaker 2: It's not like school Bowl volunteered to go those in
Speaker 2: tears but saying how much he's going to miss his
Speaker 2: teammates in Detroit. And by the way, Detroit gave up
Speaker 2: nothing for the dude. But is there a sentiment behind
Speaker 2: the scenes that which also makes me want to barf again.
Speaker 2: Was there some agent talk in that Schooble would likely
Speaker 2: want to sign with the Dodgers, so everyone else looked
Speaker 2: at it as a potential rental.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure of it.
Speaker 2: It's like if if the Dodgers know, hey, if it
Speaker 2: goes well, school is going to stay here, this would
Speaker 2: be where he'd want to be versus well, that's part
Speaker 2: of the way.
Speaker 4: It's part of this conversation Covino, because what is it,
Speaker 4: nine million dollars, so literally any other MLB team could
Speaker 4: have afforded.
Speaker 1: That as well.
Speaker 4: They didn't want to give up those prospects the way
Speaker 4: the Dodgers did just for a rental.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody's hanging on tight to the to the nobody's
Speaker 2: who rarely pan out, Like Michael Li says, a lockout
Speaker 2: is likely to happen anyway, so might as well get
Speaker 2: school ball on your way out the door and get
Speaker 2: another get a three peed in there, so you know
Speaker 2: there's a there's a decent chance that might happen regardless
Speaker 2: of these.
Speaker 3: But the end sentence isn't just these teams didn't want
Speaker 3: to give up the prospects for Scooble. It's also none
Speaker 3: of these teams are going to be in on scooball
Speaker 3: and in the off season. Yeah, and that's like the
Speaker 3: other issue.
Speaker 2: When Scoba wants, you know, eighty million dollars a year
Speaker 2: for eight years or whatever, You're right, the Raisin Brewers
Speaker 2: aren't going.
Speaker 5: To be in on him in the off season.
Speaker 1: Here's a question. I mean, it's above our pay grade.
Speaker 2: But how does Major League Baseball solve this and really
Speaker 2: try to prevent some terrible holdout and strike and no
Speaker 2: one plays? And because that, it seems like everyone says
Speaker 2: it's inevitable, you know, enjoy it now, will Is it
Speaker 2: simply a salary cap floor and ceiling? A lot of
Speaker 2: the players are saying, no ceiling. They don't want a
Speaker 2: salary cap. Is it a substantial luxury tax where these
Speaker 2: teams could spend but the taxes are going to be
Speaker 2: astronomical where it does make it less appealing for these
Speaker 2: big market teams to spend the money.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like.
Speaker 2: You're also going to have to balance out your international
Speaker 2: players and what's enticing to them, because Dodgers have a
Speaker 2: clear example, not only geographically, like beautiful weather that entices
Speaker 2: people in beautiful place to play. They're closer to Japan
Speaker 2: with a superstar named show Hey there that everybody wants
Speaker 2: to play with. So, like, are you gonna put some
Speaker 2: sort of some restrictions there as far as who can
Speaker 2: go where and how many international Japanese players you're allowed
Speaker 2: to get.
Speaker 1: I'm a break.
Speaker 2: I'm all about capitalism and you know, make your money,
Speaker 2: you know, but there's got to be some type of
Speaker 2: sharing because there's no way that longer term, these small teams, well,
Speaker 2: like you said, they won't even be in on guys
Speaker 2: like this unless something changes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you.
Speaker 1: Can't expect you can't bank on Dan.
Speaker 2: You're very lucky that your team has great chemistry and
Speaker 2: somehow has run such a way where even without the
Speaker 2: big star names the Brewers. That's why the Mets they
Speaker 2: had something with Sterns because he came from you guys.
Speaker 2: But yeah, how do you how do you expect some
Speaker 2: of these teams to really compete? Like our buddy Mauser
Speaker 2: who lives in Cincinnati, he takes his kid to the
Speaker 2: Reds games were a wildcard last year, you know, for
Speaker 2: because the Mets are so bad that they won a
Speaker 2: wildcard eighty three wins. How do you expect the Reds
Speaker 2: to compete nowadays?
Speaker 1: It's going to Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's almost like a guy like Ellie Da La
Speaker 2: Cruz isn't in the back of mind, like, well, it's
Speaker 2: a countdown till he's somewhere else.
Speaker 3: That was, you know, the Cavino started off the show
Speaker 3: and talking, and that was the joke with schemes dating
Speaker 3: back to when he made his debut, right, I went to, oh,
Speaker 3: it's a pirate.
Speaker 1: Until until when could be a Yankee? The countdown?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and by the way, the Dodgers weren't the team
Speaker 3: used in those jokes. It was always the Yankees, right,
Speaker 3: you know. So it's so it has changed recently.
Speaker 2: How do you feel, Cavino, You're not the hottest girl
Speaker 2: in the club anymore.
Speaker 1: I think it's a big epiphany that we're all coming to.
Speaker 2: I think there's a huge sense of envy and jealousy
Speaker 2: when it comes to them being the hot girl. But
Speaker 2: as long as we acknowledge it, yeah, you know, and
Speaker 2: the players don't want a salary cap. I don't know
Speaker 2: how they're going to fix it. But like you said, Rich,
Speaker 2: that's not our job. To figure out our job is
Speaker 2: to I mean not only root for your team, but
Speaker 2: you might as well still root for the Brewers to
Speaker 2: beat the Dodgers. I mean, there's still teams out there
Speaker 2: that could beat them, and they might be one piece
Speaker 2: away from making that happen.
Speaker 3: I'll say just one thing, and I'll try to make
Speaker 3: it quick. I think it's going to be impossible if
Speaker 3: they were to go to the NFL model, and if
Speaker 3: you went to the NFL model, I don't know if
Speaker 3: that's good for baseball. When we look at the NBA,
Speaker 3: I think that we're off this high of the Knicks
Speaker 3: winning and how great that was, and maybe this current
Speaker 3: system allowed the Knicks to win this title. But I
Speaker 3: would also make an argument that the previous winners of
Speaker 3: the last five years or so benefited from what the
Speaker 3: NBA is now, and I don't know if that's necessarily
Speaker 3: good for the NBA, who also thrived on dynasties in
Speaker 3: top teams. I think it works great for football to
Speaker 3: have parody, but I don't know if it works great
Speaker 3: for the NBA and for Major League Baseball to have
Speaker 3: that sort of parody.
Speaker 2: And by the way, great stuff dbat Dan Byer is
Speaker 2: Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio. We'll get to your
Speaker 2: phone calls eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Is
Speaker 2: it safe to say that no one's cleared house, cleaned
Speaker 2: house more than Mets. You got Luke Weaver on the Pirates, right,
Speaker 2: you got Clay Holmes to Chicago. It's like they're just
Speaker 2: they're just getting rid of every pretty peralta to the race,
Speaker 2: peralta to the race. Are they the team that Tyrone
Speaker 2: tailor Tyrone Taylor to the Cubs?
Speaker 1: It seems that way right.
Speaker 2: It seems like the Mets had a lot of pieces
Speaker 2: that could benefit other teams. So some some of our
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes man, he's he could be dangerous in the
Speaker 2: right situation. Clay Holmes has been the former Yankee now
Speaker 2: former Met. Clay Holmes has been a very reliable middle
Speaker 2: of the rotation guy. And as you know, he formerly
Speaker 2: was a great guy out of the bullpen. So Clay
Speaker 2: Holmes is a great pickup.
Speaker 3: So Yankees just acquired Elie Ramos from the San Francisco Giants,
Speaker 3: so adding a bat to.
Speaker 1: The nice Can I tell you it's checking his stats? Right?
Speaker 1: It's such a.
Speaker 2: Dude, It's such a mind f when your team is
Speaker 2: on the bad side of the trade deadline, because then
Speaker 2: you're even thinking about football more right, Like if you're baseball,
Speaker 2: if you love all your sports, you know relatively equally
Speaker 2: if your baseball.
Speaker 1: Team is in it, Danny g.
Speaker 2: As much as you're pumped about the Raiders trade deadline
Speaker 2: and schooball and everything, your Dodgers are doing like you're
Speaker 2: locked in yo, if you're on the right side of
Speaker 2: the trade deadline. When you're on the weak ass side
Speaker 2: of the trade deadline.
Speaker 4: It's like you told this last week, this is what
Speaker 4: you wanted. I just said, you'd rather they fall on
Speaker 4: their face.
Speaker 2: I rather the Mets win sixty something games would be
Speaker 2: so bad that they just have to, you know, kick
Speaker 2: the Eskavino used to do when he was losing a
Speaker 2: Nintendo game.
Speaker 1: Kick the restart button with your toe.
Speaker 2: I'd rather the Mets kick the restart button with their
Speaker 2: toe and just figure out a new fresh start. But
Speaker 2: they trip over the power cord by accident. Oh sorry,
Speaker 2: I guess we're gonna have to restart. But Eli o'ramos
Speaker 2: by the way to sixty four with nine home runs
Speaker 2: this season, and yeah, I guess the Yankees could use him,
Speaker 2: but still they need that right handed bat. These here's
Speaker 2: what's interesting about today. There's still gotta there's still moves
Speaker 2: being made. Of course, you know, so I think this
Speaker 2: is this is just to start for the Yankees. They
Speaker 2: still got got to get that right handed catcher to
Speaker 2: guarantee they're getting somebody. But I mean, that's that's a
Speaker 2: hard ask, like who are they right handed catchers that
Speaker 2: are solidists? You know, on standby, fingers crossed, we'll find
Speaker 2: Maramos is good, but he's not that guy they needed.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, hey, eight seven, seven, nine to nine
Speaker 2: on Fox, Danny is on stand by waiting to say, hi,
Speaker 2: if you want to chime in on the trade deadline
Speaker 2: and your thoughts on the Dodgers. Can you admit you're
Speaker 2: jealous or do you think there's genuinely a problem in
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball? Because there's one of two ways you
Speaker 2: can look at it. As Dave Roberts didn't Dave Roberts say, hey, listen,
Speaker 2: we're just a well run The front office is.
Speaker 1: Just oh, there's a lot of tower pusses.
Speaker 2: Like as much as I like the guy, Sports Illustrated
Speaker 2: or former Sports Illustrated writer Jeff Pearlman. He went on
Speaker 2: this rant on his social media page, like I just
Speaker 2: don't get it. There was a lot of pride in
Speaker 2: a team, scrappy team. He used your eighty six Mets
Speaker 2: as a good example of like a team, right, a
Speaker 2: team that struggled but then got the right pieces, made
Speaker 2: some solid moves, groomed a few key players, and they
Speaker 2: played together to make it happen something to cheer about
Speaker 2: because it wasn't expected.
Speaker 1: It's like a miracle team that went all the way.
Speaker 1: He's like, when.
Speaker 2: You buy all these players, or get all these players,
Speaker 2: however you want to look at it, and you create
Speaker 2: these super teams just full of all stars, It's like,
Speaker 2: I just don't get it. So I see that look,
Speaker 2: but it is a sour puss sort of look. That's
Speaker 2: just how it is. So either you're gonna complain about
Speaker 2: it or you're gonna compete. Ask yourself, do you rather
Speaker 2: do you rather root for a team where it's like
Speaker 2: you're rooting on there, like underdog run or like there
Speaker 2: are times where the team is projected to be so
Speaker 2: good that anything less is like a disappointment, And yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that. I don't know Danny, Like, you're a Dodger,
Speaker 2: so you're the Dodgers red of the room.
Speaker 1: Are you expecting a three PI jet promans?
Speaker 5: Like what do you what are you rooting for?
Speaker 2: Like you're just buying, you're just creating super teams. I
Speaker 2: don't feel that way, Danny. Just make it clear, like
Speaker 2: that's the Flips.
Speaker 4: They have likable guys in their clubhouse, including their manager,
Speaker 4: and still need chemistry. You do need chemistry, and you
Speaker 4: got to produce on the field. The bottom line, you
Speaker 4: could be a paper champion all you want. We saw
Speaker 4: what happened three and a half four years ago the
Speaker 4: Dodgers out, Exit, exit, and they were called chokers. Everybody
Speaker 4: laughed and made jokes about them. And it's so it's
Speaker 4: surprising to me that now three and a half four
Speaker 4: years later, we're into this conversation.
Speaker 2: Man, and because the business side of things is a
Speaker 2: big part of what we're looking at, you know, but
Speaker 2: the chemistry still matters. Your thoughts will get to your
Speaker 2: feedback next Cavino and Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: We'll take your thoughts on the Dodgers. Like I said,
Speaker 2: and I have thoughts about the NFL where I'm I'm
Speaker 2: turning the page. Man, my Mets there even I can't
Speaker 2: even name everything. They had an everything must go liquidation
Speaker 2: sales today you know they're like they're like, uh, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know. Or Halloween when spired Halloween just has like
Speaker 2: you can buy anything like a dollar mess Rich.
Speaker 4: Your Mets are the perfect example of not being able
Speaker 4: to buy a championship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, I mean it does it work that way?
Speaker 1: Doesn't work that way?
Speaker 2: I mean the Mets on paper, right, you would be like, dude,
Speaker 2: it paid Soda all the money, Lindore, Oh they got
Speaker 2: Simon and Polanco and oh they got Freddy Peralta for
Speaker 2: their rotation. Who's stunk? Like it just it doesn't mean
Speaker 2: it works out. But for the Dodgers when it does
Speaker 2: work out, it looks unfair because we're all secretly jealous
Speaker 2: the and by the way, dude, if we root against
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, right, which is going to be more fun
Speaker 2: to do, and they, let's say they fall short, what
Speaker 2: a great lesson in proving that you can't just buy
Speaker 2: these things and make these things happen. And how great
Speaker 2: is that going to be? When they say Rich, the
Speaker 2: bigger they are, the harder they fall. That's a hard
Speaker 2: fault to have all those players and not win it all.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's something to look out for me, and
Speaker 2: it makes it more interesting.
Speaker 1: Just not a starter. That rotation I saw.
Speaker 2: I saw a little graphic on Instagram where they were
Speaker 2: going over the best starting pitching rotations of all time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they put that my expectations.
Speaker 2: They put that nineties Braves team in there, where like,
Speaker 2: you know, if you weren't facing Maddocks, you were facing
Speaker 2: Glavin or Smaltz or I remember Steve Avery had his moments,
Speaker 2: and then the old school Dodgers back in the day,
Speaker 2: like you had Don Drysdale and there was even a
Speaker 2: who else was in this meme? But they said, now
Speaker 2: the current day Dodgers could very well be that rotation.
Speaker 2: Y'a'm a Moto Snell.
Speaker 1: It's insane, you know.
Speaker 2: I was like, Uh, did you talk to your mom
Speaker 2: about a thing like or is someone who really just
Speaker 2: doesn't know what's going on? I'm like, put it this way, mom,
Speaker 2: he just went back to back cy Young Awards and
Speaker 2: he's probably the best pitcher in the league and the
Speaker 2: Dodgers got him. Now, by the way, the last raining,
Speaker 2: he guesses I have a trivia question for you, and
Speaker 2: I'll give you the answer on the way back. What
Speaker 2: was the last time When was the last time a
Speaker 2: reigning Cy Young Award winner was traded that next season
Speaker 2: during the deadline.
Speaker 5: I have a guess.
Speaker 1: All right, well you know what. Hold that guess.

Speaker 1: Go was oh samees sast Oh the land.
Speaker 5: And the hole.
Speaker 1: I love how the other.
Speaker 2: Absolute worst national anthem these ears have ever heard. Frank Dreben,
Speaker 2: Enrico Palazzo sang a better Leslie Nielsen sang a better
Speaker 2: national anthem than Carl Lewis hearted it. You gotta you
Speaker 2: gotta feel bad. No, I don't feel bad. Someone's not
Speaker 2: doing their jobs. There was no test run. Someone couldn't
Speaker 2: step up and say maybe next time.
Speaker 1: There had to be that. That's all.
Speaker 2: Now, that's someone's like probably mom or grandma. So was
Speaker 2: an older black woman. This isn't to make a wish
Speaker 2: national anthem. Get out of here, man, like you have
Speaker 2: to earn that. Get out of my face with that.
Speaker 1: That's their first ever national anthem.
Speaker 2: It was the women's professional baseball league debut this weekend,
Speaker 2: and that's how they kick it off. Dude, dude, I
Speaker 2: know that reminds me of that reminds me of the
Speaker 2: Twilight zone because this do Do Do Do?
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have.
Speaker 3: I would I wouldn't have known this league made its
Speaker 3: debut without that national anthem?
Speaker 1: What and it seems women playing baseball pretty cool?
Speaker 2: So that's that's the Dan Byer makes a great point,
Speaker 2: he really does, because this is the most you've seen
Speaker 2: about it. But it's something very cool and we should
Speaker 2: be talking about it.
Speaker 3: It's also fitting one of the teams. Their name is
Speaker 3: Starving Coyotes, and so no, I'm kidding that, but that's
Speaker 3: what it sounded like. It sounded like the pack that
Speaker 3: live up in Santa Clarita.
Speaker 2: I make sounds in the bathroom that sound better than that.
Speaker 2: I'm no, you're gonna this is gonna blow your mind.
Speaker 2: How did this fun fact drop past me? That's Martha Reeves,
Speaker 2: who is the lead singer of the motown group Martha
Speaker 2: and the Vandellas, who is a famous motown group back
Speaker 2: in the day.
Speaker 5: So now, Sam emphasis on back in the day, we'll
Speaker 5: play some Now.
Speaker 2: There must have maybe an earpiece issue or something. It
Speaker 2: doesn't seem that way though. It just seems like Boston
Speaker 2: leadership issues. Someone should have said, you know what, Martha,
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, but maybe not this year. Maybe next time, dude,
Speaker 2: someone needs to step in. Was there not a sound check?
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like, that's bad, bro, That's just bad. So sorry to
Speaker 1: subject you to that.
Speaker 2: But it's gone very viral and and Dan's right now

Speaker 2: weekend women's baseball, which is kind of cool man, so
Speaker 2: very cool.

Speaker 1: Guys, back to you, No thanks, T Baby and dB.
Speaker 2: The Cubs, like you said, got my dude, Clay Holmes
Speaker 2: honly a Clay Holmes Cubs are Cubs are on pace
Speaker 2: for over ninety wins himself. So there's a couple of
Speaker 2: National League teams.
Speaker 1: That could be sneaky and you never know. I guess
Speaker 1: I know they look unbeatable, but you never know.
Speaker 2: Kove, speaking of the Cubs, you know, congrats Clay Holmes
Speaker 2: has a lot of potential. He's going to help their
Speaker 2: team definitely. But watching the Yankees play night games at Wrigley,
Speaker 2: some interleague play over the weekend on Fox, his felt
Speaker 2: so big, dude, It felt like playoff atmosphere.
Speaker 1: It's just felt really cool to see. So just just
Speaker 1: a observation I.
Speaker 2: Made over the week, is that one of those like
Speaker 2: you know you're old when you remember when Cubs only
Speaker 2: had day games. Well yeah, absolutely, but you know, just
Speaker 2: the national coverage it just felt and they were picture
Speaker 2: duels all weekend just felt really cool. So we're getting
Speaker 2: into the nitty gritty of it and moves are still
Speaker 2: being made. So stick around for dB he's got your updates,
Speaker 2: and stick around for showtime homes Trivia, but you know,
Speaker 2: live from training camp. But we got to go to
Speaker 2: the phones. Dodgers, Evil Empire? Are you jealous?
Speaker 6: Is wrong?
Speaker 1: Is it okay? Your thoughts? What do we got?
Speaker 5: Danny? Louis in Vegas, Louis, what's up? Louis?
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, I love the show.
Speaker 1: Oh thanks man? What's up?
Speaker 7: Relatively new list and rapping list you guys every day
Speaker 7: for about a few months now. But I just you guy,
Speaker 7: You're very easy to relate to, you know, being in
Speaker 7: my forties, you know, just the old school WWE references
Speaker 7: all that kinds of stuff. To love this show, you guys,
Speaker 7: my new number one show. So love it perfect anyway, oh,
Speaker 7: talking to Danny g about this, It's just no one's
Speaker 7: really you haven't ever seen anyone talk about it. But
Speaker 7: in the playoffs typically you go with the four man rotation.
Speaker 7: So the way I'm seeing is Scooball, Yamamoto, Otani, Snell
Speaker 7: is the Glass down out of the rotation.
Speaker 1: Could you mean a guy that would be other teams?
Speaker 5: Ace?
Speaker 7: Right? I assuming everyone's healthy, obviously, but I meant if that,
Speaker 7: you know, comes to fruition.
Speaker 2: That's the thing I think the met Uh, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: are just getting these big names for insurance because they
Speaker 2: don't know the health of a lot of these dudes.
Speaker 4: But still, if if fall healthy going, everybody was healthy,
Speaker 4: Glass now would probably be the odd man out.
Speaker 5: He'd be in the bullpen.
Speaker 2: Or maybe maybe a guy like Otani is suited to
Speaker 2: do that. Remember Yamamoto, he wanted to He could pitch
Speaker 2: whenever you want him to. That guy, Remember he was
Speaker 2: willing to go love that. Yeah he gave seven. So anyway,
Speaker 2: let's see as we got Danny.
Speaker 5: Let's talk to Gary. He's an upstate New York.
Speaker 1: What's up? Yeah, state in New York? How sorry, man, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: how you doing?
Speaker 6: What's up. I'm in a weird situation. I'm in a
Speaker 6: weird situation. I grew up in Cincinnati, a diehard Reds fan.
Speaker 6: I've lived in southern California several times. So my Dodgers
Speaker 6: are the second team, right. I'm in full favor of
Speaker 6: a hard salary cap and a hard salary floor. Make
Speaker 6: these broke owners sell the teams to somebody who cares
Speaker 6: and wants to win.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I never feel bad. I never feel bad for billionaires
Speaker 2: that don't want to spend. But from a standpoint of like, well,
Speaker 2: do we really want to limit how much they could
Speaker 2: pay people?
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe you have to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we've talked about the numbers before I realize.
Speaker 4: I understand the Dodgers have a little more money than
Speaker 4: everybody else, but we've talked about how they reinvest seventy
Speaker 4: what is it, seventy three percent of their revenue back
Speaker 4: into their roster. And there's other teams that spend twenty
Speaker 4: thirty percent, you know what I mean. So you have
Speaker 4: to have an owner that's willing to put a lot
Speaker 4: of the money made back into the team.
Speaker 2: What trade deadline moves come to mind for you with
Speaker 2: your team I bet you for dam Bayer when the
Speaker 2: Brewers got CC and he went on a tear. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they made the playoffs that year for the first
Speaker 2: time in over twenty five years. Sabathia down the stretch.
Speaker 2: Remember when the Astros got Carlos Beltron ended up going
Speaker 2: to the World Series. M hmm, Eraldus Chappie Chee you boy,
Speaker 2: Chappy Kavino Chapman went to the Cubbies. Oh, bro, you
Speaker 2: posed a trivia question before it didn't even go to
Speaker 2: the answer, your bonehead. Oh the answer The last time
Speaker 2: a reigning saw Young Award when it was traded mid season.
Speaker 2: Justin Verlander twenty twenty three. Look at at Justin Verlander.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's exciting. Man, it's exciting. And dan Meyer
Speaker 2: will keep you posted. I keep refreshing the news and
Speaker 2: the phone and man, well make me nervous. Well we'll
Speaker 2: get to all that and more. Plus I have thoughts
Speaker 2: on NFL. I've a Deebo Samuel deep thought. Plus we'll

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio.
Speaker 2: Danny g Iowa, Sam, of course, the infamous Rich Davis.
Speaker 1: What up is this? The amazing voice that's saying the
Speaker 1: national anthem this weekend. How's that possible?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I say that's impossible. Of course it got your updates
Speaker 2: sixty years ago, dude, something something went wrong with the
Speaker 2: national anthem at the Women's Professional Baseball League.
Speaker 1: Debut over the where to run to? I know, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, no where to hide? That was upsetting.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: Now I'm here in Jersey and I'm hopping on a
Speaker 2: flight right after this. Maybe watch some project Hail Mary
Speaker 2: on the flight.
Speaker 1: We'll see man.
Speaker 2: And speaking of Hail Mary's, Rich has a football rant.
Speaker 2: He wants to go on showtime. Maholmes is gonna be
Speaker 2: here giving away prizes next hour, live from training camp,
Speaker 2: so stick around for that. But before you talk a
Speaker 2: little football, Rich, Danny g has an interesting point. He's
Speaker 2: the Dodgers fan, right. I think a lot of us
Speaker 2: admit we're just jealous. We're jealous they're making moves good
Speaker 2: for them, But we also admit there's no guarantee.
Speaker 1: Dude, there's just not.
Speaker 2: So how great is it going to be when the
Speaker 2: Giants fall? I don't mean the San Francisco Giants, I
Speaker 2: mean the Giants, the Dodgers fall, you know, because they
Speaker 2: could lose. There's no guarantee they're gonna win. So, Danny
Speaker 2: g what's your gripe or what's your angle here?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not a gripe. I just don't understand.
Speaker 4: As a Dodger fan and all the other Dodger fans,
Speaker 4: are we supposed to also join in on the This
Speaker 4: is ridiculous. It's the end of Baseball's ruining it. We
Speaker 4: need a salary cap. Are we supposed to pile on too?
Speaker 4: Because in the chat I'm seeing, don't justify these shenanigans,
Speaker 4: Danny Gug, Dodgers, Michael Jordan, all that is evil. So
Speaker 4: if the Dodgers, you know, are sitting there and they
Speaker 4: know they're gonna get hate, who cares? Are they supposed
Speaker 4: to sit on their hands and be like, well, you
Speaker 4: know what, we're having issues with the starting pitching staff
Speaker 4: right now due to injuries. You know what, though, let's
Speaker 4: not make any moves because a lot of baseball fans
Speaker 4: already hate us.
Speaker 1: Yeah you can't not Yeah, what do you?
Speaker 2: Dodgers are still trying a three pat They're not gonna
Speaker 2: be like, well, you know, we don't want to upset anyone.
Speaker 4: You know, because then imagine they go on a horrible
Speaker 4: losing streak the way that they just got swept by
Speaker 4: the Red Sox because of the second half of their
Speaker 4: starting us.
Speaker 2: Don't be silly, now, don't don't talk about don't talk
Speaker 2: ridiculous like, oh, they're gonna fall out of one.
Speaker 5: But I'm just saying, what record?
Speaker 4: But what if they fell on their face because of
Speaker 4: those injuries to their starting rotation, And then what would
Speaker 4: fans say, Well, the Dodgers weren't all in on that
Speaker 4: three peat. They didn't make moves at the deadline. Dodgers,
Speaker 4: you can't win as a fan of that team, right,
Speaker 4: Dodgers are.
Speaker 2: Ten games up in the division, They're gonna win the division,
Speaker 2: and they are one thousand percent. Moves don't always translate though,
Speaker 2: All right, Well, maybe players don't always work out.
Speaker 1: Maybe not a lot of question mark, maybe not one
Speaker 1: thousand percent.
Speaker 2: Get the one or two seed because the Braves, the Brewers,
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers are all within two games of each other,
Speaker 2: so hey, they could be forced to play in that
Speaker 2: wildcard round, right, and then if you're forced to play
Speaker 2: the wildcard round, it's best of three, right, only two teams.
Speaker 1: Danny G. I, I got advice for dogs.
Speaker 2: Only only two teams get that buy. Am I correct
Speaker 2: in saying that right, only two teams get to buy.
Speaker 2: The third division winner has to play in the wildcard round.
Speaker 2: So realistically, Danny, the bad way this could go bad
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers is if the Braves and the Brewers
Speaker 2: finish ahead of them, and now all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you got to play three series to get to the
Speaker 2: World Series.
Speaker 1: And then you know, anything could happen. But pitching so
Speaker 1: deep to glass now is like in your bullpen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's if everything, if all the pictures will turn healthy.
Speaker 2: If people are given Dodgers fans a hard time, you know,
Speaker 2: like Danny G said, what is he supposed to do?
Speaker 2: That's when you pull the Connor McGregor and say, you'd
Speaker 2: like to apologize to absolutely nobody because it's not your fault.
Speaker 2: Your team is kicking ass and they're making moves and
Speaker 2: they're going for three. It's not the family. You know
Speaker 2: the advantage of Dodgers have it. I'll end it with
Speaker 2: this and then we'll move on to NFL. We're an
Speaker 2: NFL football zone this week. The best way to think
Speaker 2: about it Coveno is you know, like you have to
Speaker 2: line up a series in the playoffs, like your third
Speaker 2: starter might have to start a series just based on
Speaker 2: how it works out. No matter where the Dodgers start
Speaker 2: the rotation, it's an ace and that is a major
Speaker 2: advantage in any series anywhere. There's no like, well, we
Speaker 2: got to start the divisional round with our number three guy.
Speaker 1: You number three guys? What? Oh tani geez more covenon
Speaker 1: Retch next
