We're gonna tell you the 0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:11.760 players that we think are traded, as well as who 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.360 they're gonna go to and what players we're gonna get back. 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:16.520 A lot of prospect talking this one, especially for some 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.000 other teams since the Mets are major sellers.

All right, James, I got 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.560 a pretty good list here. I've got one, two, three, 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:35.760 seven guys. How many have you got in yours? 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:40.280 I have eight guys on the list, six, five that 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.000 will be traded, three that will not be traded. 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.440 Okay, that no trade prediction in itself. Yeah, six and two. 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:48.199 So where do we want to start? I'm gonna I'm 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:49.959 gonna let you go first with a name. I think 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.640 that'suld be Freddy Peralta. Yeah, okay, Freddy Peralta where you 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:53.240 got him going. 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.240 I think that the Mets and this team have had 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.520 good relations this year, last few years. I think that 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:01.600 makes it to go there. They've won the biggest needs. 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:03.960 Freddy Pralta is going to the Chicago Cubs. 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.280 Like we've said it all along, Okay, I went to 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:07.960 the other south side. I knew you were gonna go Cubs. 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.839 I'm going Chicago White Sox because they also need starting pitching. 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.840 They're telling everyone they need starting pitching. Both both Chicago teams. 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:16.800 I think one of them is going to get Freddy Pralta. 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:18.679 That's it feels like a very good home for him. 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.600 I have another big trade with us in the White 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.160 Sox a different time on this list. 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.080 Okay, So who do you think would come back from 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.560 the Chicago Cubs in a Freddy Perlta trade. 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.600 Again, I continue to wish into the universe Pedro Ramirez. 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.640 I'm not sure if that winds up happening. I'm also 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.679 not sure how much I love your You're Jackson Wiggins, 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.920 Like he just seems like he keeps getting injured roast beef. 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:39.800 I don't know if he's roast beef. I think that 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.280 we're going to be able to shoot higher for Freddy Peralta. Again, 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.399 kind of different than what it seems like in the 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:47.400 the world right now. 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:48.120 But I just I don't know. 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:49.880 I feel like the Mets are going to really try 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.200 to make sure they get a position player that can 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.640 contribute next season, and to me, that lines back up 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.440 with either Pedro Ramirez or Matt Shaw. Whether or not 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.200 that's actually what the Cubs wind up going for me 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:00.880 to be seen, but I think the Bets are going 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.200 to stand firm on that line as long as they can. 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.120 Am I crazy and saying I have zero interest in 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.120 Matt Shaw? I think a little crazy. 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.600 I understand like being weird about Mattshaw because of stuff 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.919 he's done in the past, but he's probably a functional 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.280 He's probably you know, he's probably a probably better version 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:16.840 of Brett Baby. 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.040 Oh why you gotta say that? That hurts my That 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.160 hurts But like I guess the other thing is they've 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.160 got to be able. Like Patro Ramirez is obviously the 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.720 better player. Do you think that he's less available than 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.880 Matt Shaw? Yeah, probably less available than Thatt Shaw. I 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.920 mean Shaw has more of the pedigree. Shaw has, the 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.000 college production, the high draft pick Shaw's played plus defense 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.880 all over the diamond, even as much as he's not 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.359 been able to hit this year, he's a league average 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.359 bat plus defense in multiple positions. Trying out the outfield 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.120 now doing okay, They're kind of getting hot and cold. Thankfully, 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.320 he's changed the stance that destroyed him all of last year. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.080 He's he probably. 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.919 Does become a productive baseball player in his future. He 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.960 probably again lines up as a guy that can start 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.040 at their other second base next year. 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:58.840 Is a two to three win player. That's basically it. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.920 I think Ramirez is the same, but with more tools 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.960 and someone I think probably has a brighter future. 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.720 All right, Yeah, I mean, listen, those two teams do 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.560 seem like a good one. I'm looking at the White Sox. 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.639 I pipe dream Tanner McDougal would be great. I think 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:13.760 he's a fringe top one hundred guy. I think that's 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.680 very similar to the Cal Steven trade with the Blue 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.960 Jays last year with the Guardians and the Blue Jays, 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.160 where McDougall probably is close to making it to the 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.640 major league roster but isn't there just yet. And for 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.760 a White Sox team that would make this movie because 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:29.400 they want to win right now. I think you'd go 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.440 for a Freddie Peralta over a guy who's gonna be 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.400 a fringe Major leaguer for your roster this year but 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.600 could help the Mets in the future. He's got good stuff, like, 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.040 he's got a pretty big fastball. Fastball grades out. I 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.560 think that like sixty sixty five corn to Baseball America 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.720 an MLB pipeline, so he's thrown in the mid to 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.480 upper nineties. He's got a good curveball, good slider, not 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.280 really a fourth pitch, but I feel like that's kind 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.600 of the archetype that we're looking for in terms of 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.640 on the pitching side. Close ish to MLB ready, Yeah, 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:54.080 I agree with you. 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:55.880 I think this trade deadline's going to be about the 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.720 Mets getting close to the MLB ready guys, guys that 0:03:58.760 --> 0:03:59.480 will contribute to. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.400 This roster as soon as next season. I think that's 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.400 a huge goal for the Mets right now, especially because, 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.560 and it's gonna sound crazy in a trade deadline where 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.080 we have them both trading six or seven, six to 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.360 seven players that it's not a full rebuild. We're the 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.560 Mets are not going to enter a rebuilding mode. It's 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.000 kind of impossible to when you have two players making 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.360 over three hundred million dollars on the roster, as well 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.159 as a bunch of good young guys around them. They're 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.719 not going to rebuild, They're looking to retool. Tanner, McDougal, Pedro, 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:25.440 Miraz match all these could be all guys that help 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.040 the Mets a lot more in twenty twenty seven. 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.720 Definitely hopefully. Next one I think I want to talk 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.800 about is Luke Weaver. Yeah, he seems to be the 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.880 big hot button guy right now. He's the one that 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.960 reports today by friends of foul Territory. Robert Murray could 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.200 be the best reliever available at the deadline because the 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.200 Red Sox are not going to sell and unsure if 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.560 Mason Miller will become available for the Padres, which I 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:47.400 threw that one to the ether. 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.640 It's really catching steam these a little bit. Well do 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.160 you think it's gonna happen with Luke Weaver? I think 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:52.880 Luke Weaver's is gonna be the Pirates guy. I think 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.440 They're gonna throw them basically into that closer role. They've 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.520 just been such a mess at the back end of 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.880 their bullpen this year, and Greg Risoto had his Cinderella run. 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.120 But like at the end of the day, they do 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.039 need more quality arms and the Pirates farm system is 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.839 a little bit awkward for what the Mets could be 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.560 looking for. Like of the close to major league ready 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.200 guys we talked about Hunter Barco before, he's probably too good, 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.120 especially because Luke Weaver has another year attached to him 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.000 and the Pirates are probably gonna be a little averse 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.000 to taking on so much money, so maybe the Mets 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:22.920 would have to pay the entire thing if you want 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.800 to bring in a Hunter Barco. Truthfully, I don't think 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.760 the Mets, or definitely not myself. I don't have any 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.560 interest in the password Tamar Johnson, who are the other 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.760 kind of like knocking on the doorstep MLB guys, I'm 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.120 looking a little bit further down. Antoine Kelly would be 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.080 a fun one. Sammy Steffura is a name that's a 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:40.840 little bit further away from the major league level, but 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.159 he's had a great year at Hia. Also grew up 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.160 a Mets fan local kids, so would love to see that. 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.520 Thomas Harrington's name that's been thrown out. And then Wilburdotel 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.800 I think is another guy who's like closest to major 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:52.560 league ready. I think he's made his debut already. 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.719 But I think the Pirates would be very afraid of 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:56.680 how much money Luke Weaver's doing next season. 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.720 I mean, Bob Nutting probably should be. But also then 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.800 they take on money this year in trades with like 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:03.760 Brandon Lau and all these and a couple of the 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.480 other guys that they brought in, So maybe because it's 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.200 a little bit more palatable, or maybe the Mets I'm 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.119 assuming that if they trade with the Pirates in any situation, 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:12.760 the Mets are gonna give some money, which I think 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.080 they should to get a better prospect. They also made 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.279 a trade what like last week to save two mil. True. 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.320 Yeah, I for this reason, I think I think Luke 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:22.360 Weaver's not getting traded. 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.040 I do. I think Luke Weaver will stick with this 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.360 Mets team through the deadline. I think that he's gonna 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.039 be too high. If he's if he is considered as 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.000 the best reliever available, you have to trade him, have to, 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:31.839 you have to. 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.960 Maybe it still depends, like what the kind of prospect 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.800 package return you were just describing, and that probably would 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.520 come with the Mets paying down money of Luke Weaver. 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.240 You probably have to give the Pirates five MIL for 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:42.679 them to even think about, I think. 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:43.200 Accepting him. 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.799 But then you're to me, I don't think you're getting 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.880 a piece that's more valuable than Luke Weaver if you're 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.440 this serious about winning next season, which it seems like 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.880 the Mets are maintaining that. We've seen trades for relievers 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.320 arguably better than Luke Weaver over the last few years 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.000 that did not net the same I keep going back 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.960 to the trade the Iris probably regret making last deadline 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.400 getting a couple of fringy, major league caliber players for 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.520 David Bednar. And if that's what David Bednar got, and 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.760 I do think in the world of baseball, David Bednar 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.440 would have been viewed slightly higher than Luke Weaver. And 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.000 that was in a market last year where felt like 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:16.800 relievers were going for a lot. Even think about the 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.080 return we got the Carlins took from US Ryan Helsey 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.040 last year. I don't think that would be a return 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:22.960 that the Mets would say, yeah, that's more valuable to 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.880 us next year for Luke Weaver next year than those 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:27.120 guys will be over the next three years. 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.720 So I think that with the money. Luke Weaver is 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.000 in no trade for me. Yeah, I think he's definitely 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:33.720 on the move. I think there's I will I would 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.520 be shocked if the Mets don't move him. I think 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.120 it would be a bad move by the front office. 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:38.840 I understand what you're saying though from the play for 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.960 twenty twenty seven. But at the same time, we know 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.800 how finnicky relievers are, and while Luke Weaver's been great 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.200 this year, do we think that it's as sticky as 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.480 some of the other topper relievers in baseball. We've seen 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:50.680 this happen in his own career. 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.960 He fluctuates, But that I think is the exact thing 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:54.920 the other teams will tell you when you're negotiating with them. 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:56.480 You want a guy that's in your ten mail. But 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.040 like I don't really have that much money. You have 0:07:58.080 --> 0:07:58.720 to throw this money in. 0:07:58.800 --> 0:07:59.800 I still don't want to give you any of my 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:03.000 fit future value prospects. I think you're coming in very, 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.520 very soft on the trade deadline with what what what 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.000 guys are going to get? I know what we saw 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.800 last year. Trade deadline last year sucked. There was nobody 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.120 good moved well, I mean, and we're talking about Luke 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.360 Weaver being the best reliever available. I know, but that's 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.960 think about that. There's no there's no there's no depth, 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.120 there's nothing. Nobody else is out there. There there's only 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.000 one true seller. I think Luke Weaver's gonna get more. 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.120 I I think it's not going to be enough to 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:26.600 wind up trading him. I think we get through the 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.240 deadline with him and whether and then we're gonna get 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:29.880 leaked out the offers that came. We're gonna see what 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.800 happened with other relievers. Yes, I just think if you 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.440 don't get a player that's like better than a top 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.640 hundred prospect, I don't see them doing it. I also 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.920 don't see them getting that for a reliever. I don't 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.040 see them getting a top hunchd prospects. Oh I'm saying 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:42.360 I didn't name any top one hundred. 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.400 That's I'm saying that even close. Yeah, No, of course 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.040 I didn't think they would get a top one hundred 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:46.680 guy for Luke Weaver. 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:48.400 So I think what the Mets are going to wind 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.240 up doing because these relievers standalone value is not going 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.240 to be great. I think that they are going to 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.120 give some packages. And that's why with Freddie Pralta. I'm 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.080 never gonna quit that pipe dream for Pedro Mirez. 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:03.640 I think that's a package deal with Brooks Rayley, and 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.520 I think you you sandwich Freddy Peralta with Brooks Railey, 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.319 AJ Minter Clay Holmes with the other one, and that's 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.840 how you get your guy that you think is actually 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.200 a starving caliber player moving forward with the major leagues. Okay, yeah, 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.319 I mean I didn't pick any of the same teams 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:19.760 just because I wanted to just spread it out a 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.480 little bit more and talk about some guys. I had 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.080 Brooks Raley going to the Blue Jays. I don't think 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:24.520 the blue Jays think they're out of him. They've had 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.120 no left handed relievers basically the entire year that have 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.040 been any sort of good. So I think the Blue 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.240 Jays are an interesting team, especially because I don't think 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:35.120 that they're in the position to accept that they're not 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.560 going to be trying to make a playoff spot still 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.760 in what is a god awful American league. There's some 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.679 fun guys down the line that like you could take 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.640 a look at, maybe like a Kassovich, who's like a 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.520 top ten prospect in their organization. Middle and field corner 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.240 infield guy on the third base side. Some of the 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.960 more fun names down the list, just that are close 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.480 to major league ready. I wouldn't be shocked to the Mets. 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.800 Look at Adam Maco as like an arm that's just 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.480 like try he ready for a reliever who's going to 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.559 be thirty eight or whatever. Brooks Rail is going to 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.440 be in a hit free agency. Yeah, just someone that here, here, here, 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.560 you go, give it a shot. Charles McAdoo played at 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.000 the major league level this year, Like, that's what I 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.559 would expect for the Mets. Back is kind of that 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.840 utility depth piece guy. He was. McAdoo was last trade deadline, 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.600 he went Pirates to Blue Jays, right, Yeah, he was 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:20.440 for somewhere man. 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.679 Was he the Spencer Orwitch trade or was he? Oh 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.640 he was the IKF trade of easy to get those 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:27.160 two mixed out? 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:27.600 Of course? 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.040 Wait, so that was we was talked about. That was 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.200 portrayli All right, now, I'm gonna do the same thing 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.840 aj mintor Clay Holmes package deal to the south Side 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:40.320 Chicaguhen you were talking before, I was like, damn, we 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.040 have the same idea. Well, Southside Chicago, those two together 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:44.440 fix the White Sox. 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.320 Well, what's hilarious is I have Clay Holmes going to 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.600 the Chicago Cubs, so we go flop flop them. We 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.120 just flip flopped it, which is kind of funny. But 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.320 what do you think we're gonna get back from them 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:53.200 in that kind of package? 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.520 Big second half of the season coming up, there might 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:59.240 be a hot ticket, a rivalry series, a sold out 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.360 experience they need to get your hands on, and sea 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.360 geek is the spot for that.

I think that's 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.199 where this winds up as and I think we get 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.800 just prospects down their system that aren't you know, are truthfully, 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:13.920 I'm gonna say, this aren't that great, And I like 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.760 we need kind of some middle infield depth in their 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.319 minor leagues. William Bergola, I think he's someone that has 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.920 like a little bit of upside to be a regular 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.400 just as like a glove fit. I think that's kind 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.079 of where we would be looking. We kind of just 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.640 saw the White Sox be creative with moving Jacob Gonzalez 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:34.360 to get some stuff. I see them being similarly creative 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.360 in that. I still think Samuel Savalla could be a 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.520 center fielder in the future. But I just don't think 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.360 we're getting a ton for the half season of Clay 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.840 Holmes plus a reliever, even as much as I want 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.360 to think that there's a good piece coming back. I 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.400 mentioned David Sandlin last week as well. I think that 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.959 would be a great spot to be. Jettison Pie is 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:51.559 who they got from. I believe the Red Sox. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:52.640 I think this. 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.520 Offseason he is just a command guy, but there's no 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.000 coaxing of stuff happening. I would love for us to 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.520 coax some stuff, and I do, like Dander McDougall you before, 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.480 but I think that might just be shooting. 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.440 Too high for us. Yeah, I think if there was 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.840 ever someone, it would be Freddie over Clay that that 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.440 would get that, even though right now Clay Holmes was 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.800 pitching way better than Frey Peul that ever has this year. 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.520 But I think that's the guy who would get it. 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.319 And then I'll just I'll briefly talk about my Clay 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.440 Holmes to the Cubs, just because we've already gone over it. 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.200 Some other names I think that could be on the 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.360 move for the Cubs that are like prospectee. I think 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.679 Jonathan Long, first base prospect, could be on the move 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.679 from the Cubs. They have just kind of a logjam 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.360 of guys that are eventually gonna need to play first 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.880 base only, and I just don't really see him sticking around. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.360 James Treantos is another name that's been like fringe top 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.800 one hundred, hasn't really burst through. I think he's another 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:38.920 name that could be on a move, a utility ish 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.040 type player for the Mets moving forward, if they were 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.200 to go and trade for him. And then that's kind 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.640 of it. In the names that I'm particularly interested in. 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:47.360 There might be some other names. We'll find out more 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.520 as we move along. Yeah, No, definitely, we want to 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.720 go to next. I guess because you mentioned AJ Minter, 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.679 I'll briefly just think I think he's I don't know why. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.079 It feels like a Saint Louis cardinal. AJ Minton feels 0:13:58.080 --> 0:13:59.800 like he'd love Saint Louis. I feel like that'd be 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:03.360 a good home for him, and they're left handed pitching 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.160 options out of the bullpen. I know Jojo Romero is 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:06.920 the guy, but it just it hasn't been very good. 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.160 I think they have one of the highest left handed 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.800 bullpen relief eras and all of baseball, which against small sample. 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.840 But there's a lot of fun names in the Cardinals system. 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.240 Like do they move it to Coobi, who's kind of 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.880 not like bursting through is kind of in that four 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:24.800 A range right now. I think that would be a lot. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.280 That might be the top end that the Mets could 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.120 get because he will be a major league starting pitcher. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:29.680 But maybe we get a little bit crazy and you 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.480 go after some of the guys that they even brought in, 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.200 like a yoker for a hardo, or you go for 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:38.960 the control, controllable arm that's going to be bullpen in 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.040 his entire life. Is this the tink Kents trade? 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.760 Finally, the Tinkent's trade? Just make him a shutdown reliever 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.280 like he probably, Oh we should have been. I mean, 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.320 that's that's a funny thing with the Cardinals front office 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:49.800 that acquired so many prospects in. 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.240 Such a high volume this offseason. When you go out 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:53.400 and acquire a prospect like that. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.720 From Heim Bloom's perspective, when you first get this job 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.280 and get out your control, are you more prone to 0:14:58.320 --> 0:14:59.920 move those guys or more prone to just move the 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.520 guys who've already been in your system for a while 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.520 because you just you just refreshed with guys that fit 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.160 your mold, things that you like, guys that you've identified 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.640 more recently. And for those guys who strike out rate 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.600 has climbed kind of expectedly this season. He looks like 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.080 I do someone that probably next year becomes something like 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.800 a top hundred prospect as long as the command hopefully 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.040 maybe evens out at some point. But they they have 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.280 an interesting system, But they're another team like do they buy? 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:26.080 And I was struggling through struggling going through this because 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.520 a lot of the teams that I think need these things, 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.360 the Mets are offering starting pictures and relievers, like the 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.680 Phillies could really use reliever, especially with the Brad Keller 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.800 news that just came down. Yeah, I don't know if 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:37.600 the Mets make a trade with him. They also don't 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.360
