Speaker 1: Yeah, but she is going back to Callie. She is

Speaker 1: now at the Athletic for their beat writer. But for Katie.

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: The news on our end, Kratz is how she did

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: an incredible job building up Cardinal Territory, and we've transitioned

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: that show with Jim Hayes and his cast of pretty

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: VIP characters. So maybe we will see Katie pop up

00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: again in the future, you know what I'm saying within

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: the Foul Territory network. But for now, that's why Cardinal

15
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Territory looks the way it does.

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: I hope she doesn't get too Hollywood on us. I

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: mean she was holding down Cardinals Territor. I mean got

18
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: the Cardinals fans through these tough years where the Cardinals

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: aren't winning at the pace that Cardinals fans are used

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: to winning at, or the organization caring she got. She

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: got all Cardinals fans through, and now she's gonna go Hollywood.

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,200

36
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: as well.

37
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,000

Speaker 2: Louis. I love you, I love Jim.

42
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jim's Jim's one of the best sideline slash pregame

43
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: postgame reporters there are out there, and I had nothing

44
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 4: but respect for Jim, he was he was solid.

45
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: Jim was one of.

46
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 4: Those guys and people that you meet in your career

47
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 4: and you're like, I.

48
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: Get why this guy has a job.

49
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 4: And he has the job that he has because he

50
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 4: gets along with everybody and he understands the fact that

51
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 4: his job is to report what's happening. And that was it,

52
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 4: and he got to be friends with the players, and

53
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: he got to where he respected the players and he

54
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: did it right.

55
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: And I love Jim.

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he did it so right that as

00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: he can tinus with his role, he also has cardinal

58
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: territory and he's able to make phone calls and bring

59
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: in all of these pretty big names to be co

60
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: host with him on the show. So I recommend everyone

61
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: check it out. And again, congrats to Katie. We are

62
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: our teammate here at FT and also over at the

63
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: Athletic for her move to the Dodgers. And now let's

64
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: get two baseball moves about. There's a new general manager

65
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: in Colorado. Look at the Rockies. Go yes, I like

66
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: that impressed face from Eric Kratz. That's not one, but

67
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: aj two, Yes, two front office executives that they've brought

68
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: in over the past few weeks that were not hired within.

69
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: I know it must have been painful for them, but

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: they finally are seeking external candidates. And here comes Josh Burns,

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: who has been a GM with the Diamondbacks and with

72
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: the Padres. It's been a minute, but he's also coming

73
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: over from the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he's been an

74
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: ex vice president of baseball operations there for quite a

75
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: while now working under Andrew Friedman in that front office.

76
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: He knows the nl West as much as anyone in

77
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: baseball over the last what twenty years or so, and

78
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: now he'll work with Paul Deepodesta. I'm starting to like

79
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: this a little bit more. With Paul, you're like he's

80
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: been out of the game for a while. Josh is

81
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: very much in the game.

82
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 4: Did Dee Podesta and Burns do they work together anywhere along.

83
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: The way.

84
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: Gone through the resume here?

85
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 4: I don't think they did. Do they know each other?

86
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,239
Speaker 4: They have to know each other obviously. So Deep Adesta

87
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 4: took over as what president of Baseball ops, right, and

88
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 4: then Josh Burns is now the new GM. Listen, it's

89
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: somebody outside the organization, somebody that knows the nl wes

90
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: very well, and he worked in Colorado, so he's got

91
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 4: some ideas and he's done a lot of things, and

92
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 4: he knows the Dodgers and he's broken up or he's

93
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 4: been a part of it, so he knows what it

94
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,239
Speaker 4: takes to win. So I like this move for the Rockies.

95
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: Plus the biggest Like I just said, it's someone outside

96
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: the organization. It's outside someone that they would normally hire.

97
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: So good for you Rockies. Now, will the family that

98
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 4: owns the Rockies come out and give them money to

99
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 4: make this organization successful?

100
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: That's gonna be the key thing.

101
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 4: Will he have the pieces in the parts and the

102
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: opportunity to do things that will help this team be

103
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 4: successful in this franchise, That's the key.

104
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: He's gonna he's gonna need some chapstick because he's gonna

105
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 3: go all over the place like this, like what how

106
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: do you huh? You guys don't have this? Okay, we're

107
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: like the Dodgers are on like step like the seventh step,

108
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: and the Rockies are like you guys actually give the

109
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 3: analytics to the players. That's interesting, let's talk about that. So, yeah,

110
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 3: you want somebody with a good a good track record

111
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: of being with an organization hasn't been a GM, but

112
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: he's been in the discussions. I think the Phillies all

113
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: almost hired him, I think in twenty twenty, whenever Donbrowski

114
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: came twenty two. You know, so he's been coveted. I

115
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: think it's something that for him, he really clearly wanted

116
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: to be a GM, because if we go from the

117
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: Dodgers in any role to the Rockies, you're like, Okay,

118
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: I see a chance for me to be a GM

119
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: again and maybe do some good in the Rockies organization.

120
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's tried to pick up some other roles outside

121
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: of what he's done with the Dodgers. I'm surprised he

122
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: was with the Dodgers for this long. He's been with

123
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: LA now for twelve is years before moving on to

124
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: Colorado with this news. You started that job in twenty

125
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: fourteen within the front office for the Dodgers, And like

126
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: you said, Kratz, you can point to a number of

127
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: scenarios where he's been in the mix for a role,

128
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: like President Baseball Operations Paul Taboney got the job for

129
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: the Nationals. Burns was in the running for that one.

130
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: He was at one point in the running for Mets

131
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: front office leader the Red Sox Mets was twenty twenty one,

132
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: where he was in consideration Red Sox in twenty twenty three,

133
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: and now he gets the GM role. So he's not

134
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: leading the front office. He's the number two guy in command.

135
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: But I do think that he will be a very

136
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: powerful number two based on what he's done and who

137
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: he's been around, right aj, based on the GM track record,

138
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: so he's actually made those decisions on his own. At

139
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: one point, he was a GM long enough ago that

140
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: we just had GMS and we didn't have President of

141
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: Baseball opps and GMS. That's how long it's been since

142
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: he was back in that particular seat. So the GM

143
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: role is a little bit different. He doesn't have the

144
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: final say, right he goes to Deep Podesta Deep Podesta

145
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: and then gets permission from the Montfort family to pull

146
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: off a transaction. But he's going to be involved in

147
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: the nitty gritty, the day to day, and he's the

148
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: one guy in there who comes from the outside and

149
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: happens to come from the best organization in baseball, and

150
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: I think he'll hold a ton of weight within that order.

151
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: Greed agreed. I agree. I think I think both of them.

152
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: I think Burns will actually be able to go to

153
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 4: Deep Adesta and the mom for a family and say, hey, we.

154
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: Need to make this.

155
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 4: By the way, if you guys hear that noise in

156
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: the background, I know the phillies are all into this water,

157
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: but when someone knocks it over, it makes a lot

158
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 4: of noise. And then there's glass all over the floor.

159
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 4: So if you hear someone cleaning ladies that are doing

160
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 4: a great job of cleaning up, I may or may

161
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,559
Speaker 4: not have spilled on the ground on a tile floor.

162
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: Oop. Oops.

163
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: It's water though, true.

164
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 4: But if you hear they're like under my feet right now,

165
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 4: getting all.

166
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: The glass yards out off. So if you see me,

167
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: kind off the move. But I love the Rockies move.

168
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: I love Deep Adesta coming back to baseball from the Browns,

169
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 4: and I love Josh Burns getting away from La again.

170
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 4: He's in the n Os, so he knows it coming

171
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 4: to the Rockies. Something different, something different for the Rockies

172
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 4: other than what they've been doing.

173
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 2: KP.

174
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: The website is Chuck shorts dot com. The brand is Chubbies,

175
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: but it's not just shorts.

176
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't be fooled by the website's name. This is

177
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 5: a one stop shop for all things that I love,

178
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 5: swimming trunks, golf polos, and even flannels. It fits me perfectly.

179
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 5: One stop shop is the place to go.

180
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: Yes, Sir KP. I've been wearing their flannel overshirt. It's

181
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: like my favorite flannel and your softest sweater having a

182
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: little baby. It's the best of both worlds. Classic flannel

183
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: look with the warmth of a fleece. And we know

184
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: it's that time of year to pull that off. The

185
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: Chubbies flannel overshirt. It feels like your favorite flannel, but

186
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: with the warmth of a cozy sweater. And for a

187
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: limited time, Chubbies is giving our listeners twenty percent off

Speaker 1: of an even bigger markdown during their exclusive Black Friday sale.

191
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: Just head to chubbies shorts dot com and make sure

192
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: to support the show by telling them that Foul Territory

193
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: sent you. So finished with this while we mute AJ

194
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: because this is pretty tied into what's happening here. You

195
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: hear glass shards being cleared away, crats your Burns right

196
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: now taking over as GM of the Rockies. And you

197
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: compare this with Deepodesta, how do you clear all of

198
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: the shards of class You mentioned some issues already. Hey,

199
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: we should get a modern system of how we pass

200
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: along information to our staff and to our players. But

201
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: anything from a personnel perspective for Colorado, I'll do the

202
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit. The Rockies make money, they do well

203
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: on attendance numbers, even when they're terrible. I'm not saying

204
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: they should go out and get the next Chris Bryant

205
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: in terms of money signings that did not work out

206
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: well for them, and they're not in a position to

207
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: compete right now. But do not undervalue getting those one

208
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: year contracts on players if you can convince them to

209
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: come and even overpay them a bit, and you bank

210
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: on guys that you think are going to have a

211
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: good first half and then you try to trade them.

212
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: I know it is not easy to convince certain players

213
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: to come over to Colorado, but money talks, and there

214
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: are a lot of good parts of being out there

215
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: in terms of the lifestyle. So if a player can thrive,

216
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: more likely a position player for the first half of

217
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: the season, then they're able to flip that player. The

218
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: pitching can certainly be an issue. You really have to

219
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: convince someone via cash to bring them over. And right

220
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: now it's like, hey, I know this place sucks to

221
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: pitch at and we're terrible, but want to sign with us.

222
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: No, that's honestly not the first thing I do. Yeah,

223
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 3: you gotta have some guys. I gotta put some guys

224
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: on a roster. I'm saying, Okay, we're gonna get a

225
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: couple of one year deals. Nothing crazy. I don't even

226
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: want to I don't even want to use up my

227
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 3: cachet with the ownership.

228
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: I don't want to come in the first year. I

229
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: gotta buy. I gotta buy.

230
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna say, we obviously got to look under

231
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: the hood. You gotta see what's going on. You got

232
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 3: you gotta trim the fat of you know, the coaches

233
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: that are just hanging on because they have a job.

234
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: And Dick Montfort doesn't fire people, but to me, it

235
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: starts in the minor leagues. Something that I know he's

236
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: seen with the Dodgers since he's been there. In twenty fourteen,

237
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: when they started clearing out clubhouses for healthy food for

238
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: Dodger minor leaguers, like there's so much low hanging fruit,

239
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 3: not talking about analytics, not talking about how somebody coaches

240
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 3: somebody on the field, or free agents that you go

241
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 3: and get little stuff, how you treat your minor leaguers

242
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: because the organizations, like you said, gonna have a tough

243
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: time finding pitchers. So after I do that and I

244
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: set this like new groundwork foundation, I'm gonna say, what

245
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: are we going to do? What is going to make

246
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: the Rockies the best? How are we going to pitch?

247
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 3: And he's already been a GM. It's okay if you go,

248
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: you know what. I think, this is how we're going

249
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: to pitch. All of our pitchers have to meet these

250
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 3: requirements before they make it up to the big leagues.

251
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: Because they're in the big leagues. The field is not

252
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: conducent to this. We have to make the adjustments when

253
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 3: we go on the road, all that stuff. That's where

254
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: I start free agents whatever. I'm not looking to put

255
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 3: a bad team on the field, but I don't think

256
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: the Rockies are at a place where it's like, oh,

257
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: we got to, you know, flip them for a twelfth

258
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: prospect at the trade deadline to me, you get bigger dividends,

259
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: spending time building that minor league system like the Dodgers have.

260
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: M HM fair and talking to your owner into basically

261
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: buying up anything that teams like the Dodgers have from

262
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: a resources standpoint, every team can spend on that. Those

263
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: expenditures are not small, but they're nothing like signing any

264
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: kind of free agents. They are small in the grand

265
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: scheme of things. And I know that the Rockies have

266
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: cheaped out on some things that in the past. I

267
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: know from some people who have been close there, so

268
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: maybe they're able to talk them into a change.

269
00:13:53,480 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: Show me the money.

270
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: Some people are like, who, who's this guy? The Blue

271
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: Jays end up signing yet another pitcher, so Dylan Cees

272
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: is on board. I would say more of a proven

273
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: commodity and a very durable commodity that they signed for

274
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: big money right high one hundreds mili in net present value.

275
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: This is Cody Ponce on a three year contract thirty

276
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: million dollars. Went overseas, pitched in Japan, didn't really have

277
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: success there, ends up moving over to the KBO, the

278
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: Korean League, the top league in Korea for baseball, and

279
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: he thrives in fact, this past season he was the MVP,

280
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: and it's I don't want to tell a tale aj

281
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: of someone going down a level, down a level, right

282
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: because like the KBO is not as good as NPB

283
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: in Japan, and PB in Japan not as good as MLB,

284
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: because there is a story here of him continuing to tweak.

285
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: So he's getting three years thirty million, and for a

286
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: reason many teams believe in the way that the stuff

287
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: is elevated. He's six', five two fifty. Five he spent

288
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of time in The pirates. Organization that's

289
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: actually usually appealing to, teams especially if you're going like

290
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: five years. Back they're, like, okay a commodity that probably

291
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: wasn't tapped into correctly back. Then back then he was

292
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: like sitting ninety. Three now he's mid to upper. Nineties

293
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: he added a kick change up that's become his primary.

294
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: Pitch there's a lot here that changed v low stuff

295
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: mechanical tweaks your thoughts on someone like this as an

296
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: expensive lottery, ticket but one that could end up being

297
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: a big part of The Blue jay's.

298
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 4: ROTATION i, mean good For Cody ponts first of. All

299
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: but my question is if you're The Blue, jays you're

300
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 4: coming off winning The World, series and who are your

301
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 4: free agents on this pitching staff that you have for

302
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 4: The Blue, Jays Chris, Bassett Max scherzer now and Then.

303
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 4: Brios what are you going to get out Of? Brios

304
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 4: Does Cody ponce fill the need that you have for

305
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 4: The Blue jays in to that?

306
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: IS i don't.

307
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: Know but if you, know having proven commodities and a

308
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: guy Like Max chers Or Chris, bassett you can get

309
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 4: them from one year at a time instead Of Cody

310
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: ponce for three. Years which one do you? CHOOSE i don't,

311
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 4: know because AGAIN i don't know enough About Cody. PONCE i, mean,

312
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 4: great he had a great year In. Korea But i've

313
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: seen guys From korea come over and they've been. Okay

314
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 4: Eric fetti went over, There he's okay when he came over, here,

315
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 4: Right so good For Cody. Ponce but is this the

316
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 4: move that's going to get The Blue jays The World?

317
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: SERIES i don't. Know, maybe maybe, not we'll.

318
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: See, yeah they're accumulating arms, crats so they bring everything back,

319
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: right and they face A dodgers team that was loaded

320
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: with talented arms and you could bring them, in you,

321
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: know even if they had just pitched Like yamamoto Or

322
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: glass now popping up, right like when you get if

323
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: you're able to get to a longer playoff, series having

324
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: starters definitely, matters but also having as many as, possible

325
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: being that injuries occur and you can always use those

326
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: starters in a variety of. Ways, Right, so do you

327
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: feel like this is a good way for them to

328
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: acquire pitching? Talent and if he does, HIT i mean

329
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: ten million bucks per year for a, guy let's, say

330
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: who turns out to be a number three, starter that

331
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: would be pretty damn.

332
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 3: Good and his, stuff like because of the day and

333
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: age of our analytics and all that.

334
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: Stuff this is where it really.

335
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: Helps this is where, guys you, KNOW i think he

336
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 3: was seventeen and one when he was over.

337
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 2: There he won The Triple crown for, pitchers he won THE.

338
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: Mvp he was.

339
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: Dominant before you'd look at it and go it Was,

340
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 3: korea you, know maybe not as good as. Talent now

341
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: you look at his. Stuff the kick. Change everybody thought he.

342
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 3: Was everybody thought he was a. Pronator he can't, pronate

343
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 3: so he can't turn the ball over this way for

344
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 3: a change. Up now he's throwing this kick change the

345
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: VIDEO i, watched it looks like a. Splitter it looks

346
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: like a splitter that dives kind of down and into.

347
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 3: Lefties and when you increase your, velocity when you say

348
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 3: you sit in ninety one to ninety, three it's not

349
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: gonna it's not gonna play right, now especially when you're

350
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 3: when your ball's moving left to. Right but he upticked his.

351
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: Velocity it looks like he's more balanced over the rubber

352
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 3: and through his pitching. Mechanics to, me it's a it's

353
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: a no. Brainer you need as A dodger showed six

354
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 3: or seven starters to make it through the. Year now

355
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: they just paid For Dylan, ceese who makes all his.

356
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 3: Starts they're Paying, gosman who makes all his. Starts you

357
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 3: don't know what you're gonna get From Hosey barrios and

358
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: You savage is. Young he's not gonna give, you even

359
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 3: if he's, healthy he's not gonna give you all the

360
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 3: innings you. Need so if you, can if you can

361
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: accumulate six quality, starters to, ME i think this is

362
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 3: a no. Brainer it's a great it's a great contract for.

363
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 3: Him But it's also great for where The Blue jays

364
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 3: are in their. Rotation they don't need him to like

365
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: step up and be the number one.

366
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: Guy. Yeah.

367
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: Aj the thing THAT I i feel like organizations have

368
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: struggled with over the past quarter, century which is why

369
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: you don't have back to back champs since The, dodgers

370
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: and you don't often have someone pop back up in

371
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: A World, series is the way that pitching bounces back

372
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: the year after they go essentially the. Distance and that's

373
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: what The Blue jays had to do with their pitching. Staff,

374
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: so Like kratz, Mentioned, gossbinson he's not young. Anymore in

375
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: the bigs your savages on the other end of, that

376
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: where you haven't built up a significant innings, workload and

377
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: they used him a ton in the. Playoffs of, Course

378
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: brio's coming off, Injury bieber's coming off injury and then

379
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: returned obviously during the trade deadline stretch run for The

380
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: Blue jays and then the, playoffs but again coming off you,

381
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: know a missed year plus ceases your. Durability. Guy so

382
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: Here's Cody ponce added to the. Mix nobody's looking and being, like,

383
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: oh why nobody does this? Anymore why would they do

384
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: a move like. This there's no room For Cody. Ponts

385
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: there's always room for. Starters you need way more than, five,

386
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: six seven starters to get through an entire. Season so

387
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: they like this. Enough AND i will point this, out

388
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: AJ t your point Of scherzer And bascet being free

389
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: agents after this, Year like this coming, Season Kevin gossman

390
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: is a free, Agent Shane bieber will be a free,

391
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,959
Speaker 1: agent And Jose burrias will be a free. Agent So

392
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: ponce could be even more valuable for twenty twenty seven

393
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty, eight depending on who they're able to

394
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: bring back and. Not, plus The Blue jays are freaking.

395
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: Rich they made a ton of money during the playoffs

396
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: and they're flaunting their cash right.

397
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: Now that's.

398
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 4: FINE i, said good for, Them good For Cardy, ponce

399
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,160

00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,000

407
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 4: there hasn't been a guy who's gone over To japan

408
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 4: or gone over To korea yet that's come back and been,

409
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 4: Like i'm gonna he's gonna win A Sai young or

00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 4: CODY i love this move for The Blue jays's depth.

414
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 4: Feast but if you're A jays, fan don't go out

415
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 4: there thinking, like, oh we Got Cody. Ponds here we,

416
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 4: Go we're Gonna we're going back like they're gonna they're

417
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 4: still gonna need some other.

418
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: Pieces and we're seeing the questions flow in Here kratz

419
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: asking about Am i Or Zach gallen or planning on

420
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: stretching Out. VARLAND i think. THAT i think there's a

421
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: chance That jays could still go after another big name.

422
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: STARTER i don't think it's as likely as them going

423
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: after two pretty solid relievers that cost. CASH i think

424
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: that's going to be the next expenditure For.

425
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: Toronto what about, You, YEAH i mean The varlin. Thing

426
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 3: The twins tried. IT i think The twins tried it

427
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: twice and it just. Wasn't it wasn't the Dominant varlin

428
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 3: that you see out of the, bullpen so you, go, eh.

429
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 3: Okay but to, ME i think they're JUST i was

430
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 3: trying to do the math what you guys were. TALKING

431
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 3: i think there are a few inning. SHORT i think

432
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 3: they're a few inning short because of the amount of

433
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 3: starts that you think you're gonna get from Trey Ya,

434
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: savage the amount of starts you think you're gonna get From.

435
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 3: Bieber Maybe i'm. Wrong maybe You savage gives you thirty two.

436
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 3: Starts Maybe bieber gives you thirty two. Starts barrios gives

437
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 3: you thirty. Two gozman and and Uh dylan sees they

438
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: all give you thirty two, starts and then and then you're,

439
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 3: fine like you don't you don't need. Anybody that's not the.

440
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 3: Reality that's not the reality of how this game. Works

441
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 3: that's not the reality of how you're successful into the.

442
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: Playoffs AND i think If Cody ponts this year becomes

443
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 3: even let's say they get one more they get one more,

444
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: starter and he becomes that long guy in the penn

445
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 3: look at What Nick, Martinez AND i Know Nick, martinez

446
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: he went to he went To, japan and he came.

447
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: Back he's been the, ultimate all, ultimate Like Swiss Army.

448
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 3: Knights he, swings he, starts he comes in a. Bullpen

449
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 3: Cody ponts is to is to a t the exact

450
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 3: type of, picture except he throws a little bit harder

451
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 3: And nick probably has a little bit better. Control but

452
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 3: that's that's yet to be. Seen so to, ME i

453
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 3: love this. MOVE i love what they've, done AND i

454
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 3: think they'll still be in the market for a, starter

455
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 3: maybe not necessarily unless it's a high end closer like

456
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 3: a like A Robert.

457
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:35,760

480
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: things really well in the playoffs Without, Bo so of

481
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: COURSE i think there's a good. Chance, no you don't think.

482
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: SOCRATS i mean they got through a good chunk of

483
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs WITHOUT. BO i MEAN i think even if both,

484
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: returned this is still a really strong ball. CLUB i

485
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: do think that they're the most likely team to retain.

486
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 3: HIM i think they did did do nice things Without

487
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 3: bo getting through The American. LEAGUE i think they don't

488
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 3: have bow in The World. SERIES i think IT'S i,

489
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 3: Mean i'm Not i'm not going down on a. LIMB

490
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 3: i don't think it's a it's the same type Of World.

491
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: Series he was a big he was a big, piece

492
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 3: and if you had to get through The National league

493
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: teams are gonna they're just gonna be. Better, so, yes

494
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 3: they got through without, him but they need. That they

495
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 3: can't just, say, oh it's, okay we Have Anthony Santon.

496
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: Dare we're not going to replace bow at. All we're

497
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 3: just gonna Go Ernie, clement you're sliding at second And Andre.

498
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 3: Simenez it's. Short i'm not saying they need to get.

499
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 3: Him i'm saying they need to get a bat to

500
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 3: replace what he did From april to the beginning Of

501
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 3: september for the entire, season OR i think they could

502
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 3: end up a little offensively, short.

503
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: Right that's. FAIR i mean two hundred hits it means,

504
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: something and there's some pop there that came back for

505
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: him eventually. Too, okay let's get to some other starters,

506
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: here some more names that you might not know or

507
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: you might be, like, oh that guy's Back Anthony. Kay

508
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: do you remember the name former first round pick by

509
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: The New York mets in twenty, eighteen two years twelve

510
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: million bucks another one and a half million that he

511
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: can make in incentives with The Chicago White. SOX aj

512
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: it's Another Eric fetti. Special you mentioned it, earlier but

513
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: they did this With fetti for. Them they look At

514
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: fetti as a big. SUCCESS i think why because he

515
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: pitched well for what first, half and then they traded

516
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: him away and got prospects for, him and that's what

517
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: The White sox needed to. Do So fetti faded in

518
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: his time With Saint. Louis FOR. K this is the

519
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: guy who pitched in the big leagues about eighty five

520
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: innings forty four appearances For, Toronto chicago and The mets

521
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty. Three then goes over

522
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: To japan and was good the first year and then

523
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: was dominant past year in THE, npb second BEST dra

524
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: among starters at one seven four one hundred and fifty five.

525
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: Innings he LET mpb and starting. Pitching strikeout percentage IS

526
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: k twenty one point nine, Percent so his walks came

527
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: down from what he used to be really good, at

528
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: limiting quality of, contact all of the things that make

529
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: front offices. Deel it's just that he had a pretty

530
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: long stretch in the majors and didn't pitch, well and

531
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: yeah there's been stuff, tweaks but maybe not to the

532
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: extent that team saw With Cody. Putts that's why you

533
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: get the price of two, years twelve million. Bucks what

534
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: do you?

535
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,440

Speaker 4: japan and there's a reason why they were In, kbo

544
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 4: whether it was a, control whether they didn't have a second,

00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: the off. Season so they did, Spend.

573
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,200

575
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 5: Money you.

576
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: KNOW i Like Anthony KAM i met.

577
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: HIM i met him rape before he got caught up

578
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: to the big, leagues back WHEN i was still.

579
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 2: Playing good young.

580
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: Guy probably a little naive in the sense of, like,

581
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 3: hey you know, WHAT i didn't spend that much time

582
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 3: in the minor, leagues just gonna go out and throw my.

583
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: Slider he was out there slinging the, rock slaying the.

584
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 3: Rock AND i think it's something that guys go To

585
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 3: japan and they learn how to. Pitch that doesn't mean

586
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 3: like they didn't know how to pitch, before but some

587
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 3: guys throw and they threw better than everybody, else and

588
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 3: then they make it to the big leagues and it's, like,

589
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: Whoa NOW i got to learn how to. PITCH i

590
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 3: gotta learn how to take care of my. BODY i

591
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 3: gotta learn how to make twenty four starts like he

592
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 3: did last. YEAR i think he made a few starts

593
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 3: up in the big leagues and then he got up

594
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 3: moved to the. Bullpen it's not gonna work out like

595
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: you got a consistent twenty four star arts throughout an

596
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: entire season Over. Japan now you come back and you've

597
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: re established yourself as like that. ROUTINE aj will tell

598
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: you the guys that don't have routines don't stick in

599
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 3: the big.

600
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 4: Leagues, true BUT i, mean twenty four starts is out

601
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 4: what they're counting. On twenty four whole.

602
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 3: Starts, no just a consistency that he only. Started he

603
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: didn't go and pitch out of the bullpen because his

604
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: first two starts didn't go well and then oh we

605
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: need you Back White sox get if they get twenty

606
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 3: four starts out of, them you can't tell me that's

607
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: not a successful.

608
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: Season twenty four starts at A i would say even

609
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: for a six million a year, pitcher twenty four starts

610
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: in the four of z array is a bargain in the.

611
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 1: Sport at six million bucks per, YEAR i, mean as

612
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: a back end, STARTER i think most teams would take.

613
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 4: That, okay if you GOT i mean sure, AGAIN i

614
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 4: hope it goes. GREAT i hope this is one of

615
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 4: the best signings of all.

616
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 2: Time, yeah, yeah.

00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: Everybody i'm just providing as much AS i can. Here

618
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: none of us are going to act like we're WATCHING

619
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: npb OR kbo. Games so we get, highlights we get scouting,

620
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: reports we read, articles and that's how we can break

621
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: guys like this down versus the major leaguers that we

622
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: get to watch more. Consistently so while we're on the,

623
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: topic we've got a little theme here in money Moves Ryan.

624
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: Weiss what does the name mean to? You probably not,

625
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: much but The astros sign him up major league. Deal

626
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: they have a club option on that one for twenty twenty.

627
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: Seven for twenty twenty, six it's one year about two

628
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: and a half million. Bucks he pitched in THE kbo

629
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: the past two. Seasons his story is more unique To.

630
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: KRATZ i mean this says the true underdog story written

631
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: all over. It so he never made it to the,

632
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: majors so this will be his first time in the

633
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: majors coming up this. Season he made it up To

634
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: TRIPLE a both with The royals and The Arizona. Diamondbacks

635
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: organizations wasn't working for him twenty twenty Three Indie, ball

636
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: Then Chineese Professional Baseball league before finally signing over In.

637
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: Korea so this guy has clearly made the rounds and

638
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: he's figured it out in terms of being successful in THE,

639
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: kbo and The astros are going to give it a.

640
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: Shot we'll get into The astro side of the equation

641
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: here and how they are going to think about shopping for.

642
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: Starters but this is the guy who has a chance

643
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: to crack the rotation this coming.

644
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: Season ALL i can go by is his.

645
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: NUMBERS i love the story, though the fact that he

646
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 3: went to The Chinese Professional, league that is he was.

647
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 3: Grinding he was. Grinding they like just he had he

648
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: had a chip in the. Chair he kept he kept,

649
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 3: throwing he stayed. Healthy he made thirty two starts this.

650
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 3: YEAR i was looking at his, numbers two hundred and

651
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 3: eighteen strikeouts in one hundred and seventy, innings like that's.

652
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: Good, again we're not only going by. Numbers we can

653
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: go by the.

654
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 3: Analytics they have track, man they have all the similar

655
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: stuff that they have in the big. Leagues in these,

656
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 3: leagues and so they teams can, see, hey you know,

657
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 3: what this is what we really. Like, yes we get.

658
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 3: It his walk rate was probably a little bit higher

659
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 3: than we, want but his durability gives us another starting.

660
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 3: Option and good for, him got himself a big league.

661
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: Contract some of these, guys you, know they have to

662
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 3: figure OUT i they're going to sign to go back

663
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: To korea Or. Japan so that's why these, contracts these

664
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: these signings are. Happening and there's there's guys that have

665
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 3: success and come over just because they get a consistent.

666
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 3: Opportunity LIKE i said About anthony k not everybody is

667
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 3: a superstar and gets consistent playing time or. Starts so

668
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: good for these guys cashing it in when they go over.

669
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: There, yeah and, actually to your, point there were multiple

670
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: reports That kay turned down bigger money From, japan and

671
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: sometimes that's like agents flaunting. THAT i actually believe it

672
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: because you can't afford a picture like that IN. Npv

673
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: if he's top, three they will try and keep those.

674
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: Guys but he wanted to come back to The. States,

675
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 1: okay last piece of the puzzle here On Ryan weiss

676
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: for the starting rotation as a potential option for The.

677
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: Astros but do you have on The astros this? Offseason

678
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: aj Fran bravaldez is going to sign. ELSEWHERE i think

679
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: that's going to be a divorce that we're just waiting

680
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: to get. Official he'll sign with another ball club And

681
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: Chandler rome part of Crush shitty, territory And The athletic

682
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: reported that The astros are not going to play for big.

683
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: Starters as we, Know Jim crane generally treats that luxury

684
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: tax number like a salary, cap like a little below,

685
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 1: it a little above, it but like he really sticks

686
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: to that, number and that numbers two hundred and forty four.

687
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: Million this season or this coming. Season The astros have

688
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: clipped about SIXTEEN mili from their, payroll with guys Like

689
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: Mauricio dubon moving over to The braves via trade and

690
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: So chandler says they're about twenty five million under the

691
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: first luxury tax threshold according to outside. Approximations they've gotten

692
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: some interest on some of their, outfielders Like Jesus, sanchez

693
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: who was brutal for them in the second half of

694
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: the year once he got traded over, there And Jake,

695
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: myers who actually had his offensive, season is a pretty

696
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: solid defender in center. Field but what do you think

697
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: The astros need to do to get back in the?

698
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 4: Playoffs sign a, Picture sign a starting. Pitcher you need hate,

699
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 4: healthy you need to bray you. Healthy and they need a.

700
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 4: Bat wherever that bat. IS i think they need a.

701
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 4: Bat they Need alvarez obviously to play the whole, year

702
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 4: and they Got. Korea they have. Pain you have another good.

703
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 4: Year Al tuove is going to do what he. Does

704
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 4: diaz behind the plate is going to be, okay but

705
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 4: they need to find somebody in the outfield that can do.

706
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 4: Something and if they have to trade J, myers they

707
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 4: might need to somebodies to do. Something and then they

708
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 4: need a starting pitcher Because Hunter brown is. Great some

709
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 4: of these other guys are, great but they need a

710
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 4: bona fide starter if it's not From, bravaldez and where

711
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 4: do they find.

712
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 2: That that's going to be the.

713
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 4: QUESTION i think the bullpen will be all. RIGHT i

714
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 4: think the offense will be, okay but they need a

715
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 4: bat in the outfield that can really do some damage

716
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 4: because they their outfield for years has been kind of

717
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 4: a struggle struggle. City so what will they find they

718
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 4: can take over in the, outfield and then a starting

719
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 4: pitcher to pair With Hunter? Brown is the rest are?

720
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 4: Okay whoever those people are at the back end will be.

721
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 4: Fine The asters can kind of figure that. Out they've

722
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 4: been good at, it but they need someone. Else it's

723
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 4: a stud at the front of the end for an

724
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 4: end of that rotation appear With Hunter. Brown, YES i

725
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 4: think that. STARTING i think that starter is key for.

726
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 3: Them BUT i also felt like their bullpen was a

727
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 3: little short when When montero never really came, back they

728
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 3: were you, know that was like the three headed. Monster

729
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,479
Speaker 3: it Was presley a bray. You montero he fell off

730
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 3: a Bray you is still the stud and he's still

731
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 3: getting his sixty five to seventy. Appearances hater getting hurt

732
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 3: at the end of the year killed.

733
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 2: Them it killed.

734
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 3: Them they finished three games. Out not saying it was

735
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 3: because a Bray you or somebody else's blowing. GAMES i

736
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 3: just think if you can't count on you can't have three.

737
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 3: GUYS i think it was like a Bray, You oakert

738
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 3: And hater that were leaned. On When hater goes, Down

739
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 3: now all of a, sudden you're leaning on Caleeb or

740
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 3: a little bit more who ended up getting hurt at

741
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 3: the end of the, Year you're leaning On Brian. King

742
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 3: like these are names that are good, pieces but when

743
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 3: thrust into a larger, role you need a little bit more.

744
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 3: Depth similar to when they went and Got hater and

745
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 3: they still Had. PRESLEY i get it they got rid

746
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 3: Of presley, then but it's okay to have really really

747
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: good options in the same role because you figure it,

748
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 3: out you get the best.

749
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 2: Players and that's what The astros have always.

750
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 3: Done they've gotten the best players and they put that

751
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 3: team out in the field and they've consistently. Won and

752
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 3: you're talking about a team that doesn't want to just

753
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 3: make the. Playoffs they want to win The world.

754
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: Series, yeah you're, right it was getting dicey. There, yeah

755
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: you had hater then he got hurt of bray You,

756
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: King Steven, Okert bennettuza emerged a little bit for, them

757
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: but they could do some work there in the. Bullpen

758
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: and from a position player, perspective Is Cam smith going

759
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: to take a? Step he was really he was not,

760
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: good then found it for what maybe a month or,

761
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: two and then wasn't even getting much playing time down the.

762
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: Stretch but a young kid WHO i don't, KNOW i

763
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people expected to even be

764
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: in the big leagues as fast as he. Was maybe

765
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: was rushed a little bit as he cracked the team

766
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: and had a good spring. Training but we'll see if

767
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: he can emerge as an outfield piece for. THEM a

768
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: lot of the other positions do seem to be. Set, Peina, Albarez, Altuve,

769
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: Correa Issak parades who some people have thrown rumors of

770
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: trades for, him AND i do not think they're going

771
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: to trade. Him Dana brown has thrown that. Down they love. Him,

772
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: hey we've got a little shake up going on with

773
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: That angels rotation they're working. On of, course The Grayson

774
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: rodriguez addition that they made and now adding that With Alec.

775
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: Manoa so they signed him to about a year and

776
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: two million bucks. Guaranteed he's twenty seven years. Old remember

777
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: he had it all a few years, ago injuries and,

778
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: effectiveness the whole. Deal he didn't pitch in the majors

779
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: this past. Season braves had scooped him up late and

780
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: they ended up non tendering. Him so krats to The

781
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 1: angels have some lottery tickets that could hit this coming.

782
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 2: SEASON i, mean, yeah why? Not LIKE i.

783
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 3: DON'T i don't See Grayson rodriguez as the same lottery.

784
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 3: TICKET i also don't. See and this is the ignorant

785
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 3: player in me and not the scout BECAUSE i haven't

786
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 3: Watched Alec manoa when he was In TRIPLE a. Throwing

787
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 3: does he Have does he have that? Confidence and we

788
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 3: called it. Swagger he was on the mic at The

789
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 3: All Star. Game he had all that to throw his

790
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 3: pitches in the. Zone when he came, back people will, say,

791
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 3: oh you, know he put on his. Weight he never.

792
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 3: Had he never really had to work too. Much like

793
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,959
Speaker 3: all that stuff is just it's eyewashed unless he says,

794
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 3: it unless it's out of his. Mouth it's just people

795
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 3: trying to figure out why he didn't do. Well the

796
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 3: reality was his slider was not in the zone as

797
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 3: much as it was early when he was An All.

798
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 3: Star so at twenty seven years, old you have plenty

799
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 3: of time to figure it. Out angels could have could

800
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 3: get a super huge fifteen to twenty starts out of,

801
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 3: him which would read which would recoup reboot his career.

802
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 3: Again but he's got to come in ready because there's

803
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 3: times when you, know prospects come into spring training and

804
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 3: they just kind of get it going as the season

805
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 3: you know spring training is, going he's got to come

806
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 3: in right away for him to fit in again with With,

807
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 3: kakuchi With Josey, soriano with the fact that they Have Grayson, Rodriguez,

808
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 3: like you have to be ready to, go AND i

809
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 3: think he has a lot to. Prove and to, me

810
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: a past an Ex All star who's still twenty seven

811
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 3: years old is crazy to say. THAT i said it, twice,

812
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 3: like still twenty seven years. OLD i JUST i have

813
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,600

814
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 3: i've been wrong, Before BUT i guess it's just the

815
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 3: player in.

816
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 2: Me, yeah it's a.

817
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,400

821
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 4: Mike maddox now is In Los angeles with The. Angels

822
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 4: he's a great pitching. Coach i've had him, before so

823
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 4: maybe he can figure something out For Alec manola because

824
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 4: he was fun to.

825
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: Watch but, first BET mgm Futures National league, Pennant so

826
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: who would represent The National? League is this? Right plus

827
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: six hundred for The mets six to one.

828
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 3: Odds they're they're, appreciating they're appreciating what they, Think oh,

829
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 3: Uncle Uncle stevie's gonna. Do they're already pushing it. Forward

830
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 3: if it's plus, six that means that The dodgers are

831
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 3: probably up. There that means that The phillies are up

832
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 3: there and they're gonna probably be the they'd be the

833
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 3: third team in The National.

834
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 2: League is what there? Is what they're.

835
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 3: Thinking the team that missed the playoffs last year in The,

836
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 3: mets still haven't added a starting pitcher. Yet i'm not

00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: they just did last year to putting them at six

841
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: to one odds to represent The National. League i'm not

00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 2: This so that's why they're might not be exactly. What

00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:53,480

862
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 2: About, Okay Cincinnata.

863
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: Reds braves are ten to one. Odds reds are twenty

864
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: to one, Odds diamondbacks are thirty to one. Odds padres

865
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 1: And brewers are twelve to one. Odds so, Again i'm

866
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: not SAYING i think The mets are in the mix

867
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: with those teams as. Sure could they just totally turn it,

868
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: around buy a bunch of pitching over the next few

869
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: weeks and be different next. Year no doubt the talent's,

870
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: There but six to one that's already kind of banking

871
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: on The mets completely going nuts this offseason in my.

872
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:04,440
