Speaker 1: Welcome tobous the territory, ladies and gentlemen. I'm a little tired.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I'm a little exhausted. My brains scrambled,
Speaker 1: my brain is fried. I can't feel my face a
Speaker 1: little bit. It's been a long day. I haven't even
Speaker 1: eaten yet, I've had I finally finished my coffee that
Speaker 1: I had this morning. And it's been a long day.
Speaker 1: But it was an exciting one for the Red Sox.
Speaker 1: We were all on the edge of our seats. We
Speaker 1: were all waiting for a big move. You felt it.
Speaker 1: You felt like it was gonna happen at some point.
Speaker 1: You just with everything that's happened here over the last month, everything,
Speaker 1: you know, the completely turning around the season, the fifteen
Speaker 1: game win streak, winning just how many how many series
Speaker 1: at this point? Was it eight straight series wins or
Speaker 1: something like that. I can't remember. I can't remember anything.
Speaker 1: My brain is completely cooked. But obviously this huge turnaround,
Speaker 1: and you felt like, especially after coming off a sweep
Speaker 1: of the La Dodgers, you had to do something here
Speaker 1: and not just go after a dust In May, not
Speaker 1: just go after a Danny Jansen. You needed to go
Speaker 1: do something big. You need to go do something impactful,
Speaker 1: and Holy cal he did that here today, getting Adley Rushman,
Speaker 1: one of my favorite players in the game for a while.
Speaker 1: I've always been a big fan of Adli. I was
Speaker 1: very down when the bat went down for a little bit.
Speaker 1: He started regressing a little bit, but always, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: just one of the most solid catchers in the game
Speaker 1: going over the last five years. And that bat started
Speaker 1: picking up more this year, started getting it back on
Speaker 1: track this year. The defense was still great, but you
Speaker 1: kept hearing about Adley popping up in these trade rumors,
Speaker 1: and I kept saying time and time again, there's no
Speaker 1: way the Orioles trade him, right, There's no way, And
Speaker 1: if they do, they're not going to trade him in division, right,
Speaker 1: There's no way. And by golly, it actually happened, and
Speaker 1: by golly, it was with the team that I've been
Speaker 1: rooting for for all these years. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. We saw the initial reports, Jared
Speaker 1: Carrobas first on it, and I'm thinking, I'm still I
Speaker 1: was still processing it until I actually saw it, until
Speaker 1: I actually saw a pass and put it out there
Speaker 1: that it was a done deal. I just couldn't believe
Speaker 1: it up to that point, and when it actually happened,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, it's actually happening. Adley Rushman,
Speaker 1: I'll say it right off the bat absolutely loved this
Speaker 1: edition of Adley Rushman, especially because he has been able
Speaker 1: to get the bat on track. He ran into a
Speaker 1: little while there where Holy cow, he just couldn't figure
Speaker 1: out what to do with the plate. The numbers completely
Speaker 1: went down. You know, a guy that was still getting
Speaker 1: on base well still, you know, with ADLEI you know,
Speaker 1: the first couple of years he had in the major leagues,
Speaker 1: he was looking like he was turning into, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the next faces of the game. And then
Speaker 1: the second half of twenty twenty four, the back just
Speaker 1: took a turn for the worst. Still had nineteen home
Speaker 1: runs to end the year, but he wasn't getting on
Speaker 1: base as much. I mean, he had a three seventy
Speaker 1: four on base back in twenty twenty three, just to
Speaker 1: give some reference there. It gives some a comparison there,
Speaker 1: But then it went down to a three eighteen in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, went down to a three zero seven
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. You're thinking, holy cow, like, I mean,
Speaker 1: what has happened to Adley Rushman. Still was walking a
Speaker 1: good amount, still was keeping the strikeouts down, but something
Speaker 1: was just off. But he made some tweaks in the
Speaker 1: offseason and the numbers have gone back up, hitting two
Speaker 1: fifty one, three thirty one on base, four to thirty
Speaker 1: three on the slugging a one to fifteen WRC plus,
Speaker 1: but also still keeping up that amazing defense. Not quite
Speaker 1: back to where he was, but a guy that is
Speaker 1: getting closer to that status that he had as one
Speaker 1: of the top players in the game. And in the end,
Speaker 1: the Red Sox they needed another bat, they needed something
Speaker 1: else for this lineup in the end. You know, sure,
Speaker 1: a couple of down years, numbers still getting back up there,
Speaker 1: but a plate discipline machine at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: that's what you love. Especially you go back over the
Speaker 1: last few years or so, we've been so tired of
Speaker 1: the strikeouts, so tired of it. Was I open to,
Speaker 1: you know, taking on zach netto dealing with the strikeout
Speaker 1: so you can get that pop, that athleticism that is
Speaker 1: dealing with the frustrations. Yeah, you know what, because I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what I really want another bat.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I'd much rather all day, every
Speaker 1: day have a guy that has great plate discipline, and
Speaker 1: Adley absolutely brings that to the table. And you know why,
Speaker 1: I think obviously we know the status of a player
Speaker 1: that he is. But you know what else we've talked
Speaker 1: about this before you go back to the Curtis Mead trade,
Speaker 1: there are, believe it or not, there are actually some
Speaker 1: similarities with Curtis Meade and Adley Rutshman. Just a little bit.
Speaker 1: You might be thinking, Robbie, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: What's going on? What do you mean? What are you
Speaker 1: talking about? Well, here's what I'm talking about. When it
Speaker 1: comes to the bat of ball profile along, you know,
Speaker 1: with him getting the swing back on track, what better
Speaker 1: home than the Boston Red Sox, who've done a great
Speaker 1: job at upping the eggs of ve Low, upping the
Speaker 1: bat speed adly. As you can see here, when it
Speaker 1: comes to the bat of ball metrics, he's right in
Speaker 1: the middle of the road. Either the Red Sox. They
Speaker 1: could tap into that a little bit, maybe make a
Speaker 1: couple of adjustments, don't change too much, but don't change
Speaker 1: too much, but try to tap into it a little bit. More.
Speaker 1: As you can see with the play discipline, chase percent ings,
Speaker 1: fifth percent, strikeout percentage, walk percentage all in the Reds,
Speaker 1: but the batted ball in the Blues. But with Adlely,
Speaker 1: try and up that a little bit, tap into a
Speaker 1: little bit more power, try to get him back to
Speaker 1: that twenty twenty five home run potential along with the
Speaker 1: great defense that he already brings to the table. And
Speaker 1: you also think about the fact that he's a switch hitter.
Speaker 1: Let's play with that green monster a little bit. You know,
Speaker 1: when he's going up against the lefties, let's tap into
Speaker 1: a little bit of that pole from the right side
Speaker 1: of the plate. He's a guy that when you're looking
Speaker 1: at the pole air percentage over on stat cast. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I could be wrong on this, but I
Speaker 1: think this is his ability to pull from either side
Speaker 1: of the plate. So a right handed pole swing at
Speaker 1: Fenway Park or a green monster when he goes up
Speaker 1: against those lefties, that's a nice fit. Yeah, lefty bat
Speaker 1: at Femway Park. You know, he maybe got to tap
Speaker 1: into a little bit more there to try and clear
Speaker 1: that deep right field. But with Adley, let me actually
Speaker 1: pull up these numbers really kick really quick at Femway Park.
Speaker 1: Hope everyone's doing well. Hope you all enjoyed the trade
Speaker 1: deadline here today. Hope you're all just doing well. I'm
Speaker 1: I am hanging on by a thread here, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: I am doing the best that I can over here.
Speaker 1: But let me pull up the numbers with ADLEI in
Speaker 1: his career at Femway Park, So taking me a look.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he's played a lot of games at
Speaker 1: Femway Park. The numbers have not been amazing at Fenway,
Speaker 1: hitting two thirty nine, three twenty six, on base three
Speaker 1: seventy two when it comes to the slugging six ninety
Speaker 1: seven ops overall, but has three home runs at Femway. So,
Speaker 1: I don't know, let's see you again, if they can
Speaker 1: tap into a couple of things, try to get the
Speaker 1: back going a little bit more with ADLEI. There's I
Speaker 1: think more to tap into you here and again. You
Speaker 1: think of just a switch hitter, right, you think of
Speaker 1: getting a switch hitting catcher. Well, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you all remember the name. Jason Veritek kinda kind of
Speaker 1: gives me some good memories. Now, is Adley Ruschman gonna
Speaker 1: be getting in any brawls with you know, like Veritech
Speaker 1: did with a Rod. I don't know about that. Adley
Speaker 1: seems like a very nice fellow, but obviously with ADLEI
Speaker 1: he brings I think a lot to the table. And yeah,
Speaker 1: he has been dealing with some injuries this year. He's
Speaker 1: on a rehab assignment, I believe right now, or he's
Speaker 1: at least about to go on one. We're gonna listen
Speaker 1: to Craig in a little bit. We do have some
Speaker 1: comments from Craig. We'll take a take a seat for
Speaker 1: a second, we'll sit back, and we'll listen to what
Speaker 1: Craig had to say about all this. But he did
Speaker 1: talk about Adley obviously talking about the timetable for a return. Now,
Speaker 1: the one talking point with this trade with Adley Rutchman
Speaker 1: was the trade itself. And listen, when I first saw
Speaker 1: the trade, ladies and gentlemen, I gasped, I think I did,
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, I definitely felt like I gasped.
Speaker 1: Because as you can see here on the screen, you
Speaker 1: could be a fan of baseball trade values. You cannot
Speaker 1: be a fan of baseball trade values. I don't care
Speaker 1: what side of the coin you live on, but This
Speaker 1: was absolutely an overpay from the Red Sox point of view.
Speaker 1: I don't care what you believe on with trades, but yeah,
Speaker 1: you gave up a lot in this deal. Now, what
Speaker 1: I'm about to say is not me trying to sound
Speaker 1: like a biased Homer Red Sox fan. I guarantee someone
Speaker 1: who's gonna think I'm saying I'm trying to make this point,
Speaker 1: but I'm not. This is absolutely an overpay. But it's
Speaker 1: kind of one of those where when you look at
Speaker 1: every single player, going back to the Orioles, you can
Speaker 1: find a justification with every single one. Ironson, that one
Speaker 1: stings because obviously he's broken out, just made it to
Speaker 1: the futures game not too long ago. He's looked really good.
Speaker 1: He's had a good swinging admissibility. I mean, the numbers
Speaker 1: speak for themselves. With Anthony, iinsim he's been fantastic. I mean,
Speaker 1: looking at the numbers here, he's had good v low,
Speaker 1: good breaking stuff, good off speed. I mean, the guys
Speaker 1: look great overall this year. Twelve strikeouts per nine, a
Speaker 1: little over three walks per nine now in the tens.
Speaker 1: In the eleven games that he's pitched at double A,
Speaker 1: that command has lessened a little bit. His walk rate
Speaker 1: did jump to over four walks per nine, so that
Speaker 1: is something to keep in mind. Now, the strikeouts came
Speaker 1: down a little bit too, but they were still looking
Speaker 1: really good. At a per nine, Era was at a
Speaker 1: one point six' nine at double A fip was at
Speaker 1: a three point three to. One obviously a very good pitching.
Speaker 1: PROSPECT i mean you look at the eye. Test he's
Speaker 1: been getting a lot of swing and, miss very repeatable.
Speaker 1: Delivery stuff looks, Good Anthony, iinson looking like the real.
Speaker 1: Deal that one, stings that one does. Sting so but
Speaker 1: the justification, is like the old saying, goes if you
Speaker 1: want to get something, good you got to give up something.
Speaker 1: Good Anthony. Iinson that was, tough but you could at
Speaker 1: least justify. It next, Up. Carlosnirvias we've talked About carlosnirvias
Speaker 1: on this show for a. While we've talked about it
Speaker 1: for quite a. While graham and the, chat Oh, man
Speaker 1: that is a bad, take my, friend that is a bad.
Speaker 1: Take Painfully, WELL i don't know what you're talking, about
Speaker 1: BUT i. Disagree the numbers speak for. Themselves Carlos, Nervias,
Speaker 1: definitely we've talked about him a. Bit we've talked about
Speaker 1: him a. Bit it's been. Weird, Right you go back
Speaker 1: to the. Offseason you go, back obviously coming off A
Speaker 1: rookie of The year caliber, SEASON i believe six overall
Speaker 1: In rookie of The year, voting and you're, thinking why
Speaker 1: are they going After Kyle, Teel why are they going
Speaker 1: after j t Rel? Mute like why are these names
Speaker 1: coming up for The Red, Sox Like nervas just had
Speaker 1: a good, Season, Yeah, graham and the chat TO i
Speaker 1: don't know why we're looking at batting, average my. Friend
Speaker 1: there's a lot more of the game of baseball in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six than batting, average a lot more than.
Speaker 1: That but With carlos den, bias it's kind of one
Speaker 1: of those things where you just kind of, thought, like
Speaker 1: why why are they looking at other? Catchers it just
Speaker 1: never it just never really made sense to. Me but
Speaker 1: you kind of think back now and you just felt
Speaker 1: that there was something going on THAT i don't, know just,
Speaker 1: say we don't know the full, answer like what you?
Speaker 1: Know and you go back to the beginning of the, season,
Speaker 1: right he ended up getting benched at one, point and
Speaker 1: like you're, like what is happening, Here so LIKE i don't,
Speaker 1: know and you think here obviously landing, adly but then
Speaker 1: also sending him. Back so it's just very. Interesting you,
Speaker 1: know lost his footing as a. Starter he really struggled
Speaker 1: with the. Bat it's, LIKE i don't, know like for some,
Speaker 1: reason you, know well for a couple of, reasons, right
Speaker 1: But rarvas lost his footing as a. Starter but in
Speaker 1: the end you can justify sending him back in this
Speaker 1: kind of a deal because if you're getting Back adley's great,
Speaker 1: defense you didn't Need narvas, anymore you, know and like
Speaker 1: that that's not a knock on, him but Like adley
Speaker 1: is a great defender behind the, plate he's going to
Speaker 1: give you a lot of, value a lot of. Value So,
Speaker 1: nirvas you didn't really need that. Anymore and for The, orioles,
Speaker 1: hey they get themselves a very high floor catcher for
Speaker 1: the next few. Years So Carlos, dervias in my, opinion was,
Speaker 1: expendable AND i had brought him up over the last
Speaker 1: few weeks or, so is LIKE i wonder if they
Speaker 1: could send him, back you, KNOW i REMEMBER i talked
Speaker 1: about With Hunter. GOODMAN i remember proposing a mock trade
Speaker 1: at one, Point i'm, like could you send back nervas
Speaker 1: in this? Deal, yeah so that ended up happening Here Tyson.
Speaker 1: Witherspoon moving on to, him, now if we were to
Speaker 1: take a look at these. Numbers you, Know, witherspoon obviously
Speaker 1: he had the first round draft pick status tied. Him
Speaker 1: he was rumored to go even in the top ten
Speaker 1: at one. Point The Red sox ended up getting him
Speaker 1: at number fifteen. Overall and you, know this is a
Speaker 1: guy with pretty good, velo good breaking, stuff has some
Speaker 1: good off speed as. Well he had a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of different pictures that he could play, with a good
Speaker 1: cutter on top of, that but for some reason it
Speaker 1: just wasn't fully working in the lower levels of the minor.
Speaker 1: Leagues like he had decent strikeout, numbers but the command
Speaker 1: was a little. Off four walks per, nine you, Know
Speaker 1: elra close to a, five fit close to a. Five
Speaker 1: so you know you're looking all, right, well not off
Speaker 1: to a good start in His Red sox, career and
Speaker 1: you kind of think that now might be the time
Speaker 1: before he gets even further removed from having that first
Speaker 1: round draft pick, Status now might be the time to
Speaker 1: move on before you potentially let it go any, lower
Speaker 1: so you can justify. Him this is where it gets
Speaker 1: a Little if you love prospects out, there this is
Speaker 1: where it gets a little Dicey endy as A, Car
Speaker 1: andy as A car was a guy that really broke
Speaker 1: out for The Red sox this. YEAR i mean the
Speaker 1: guy was looking LIKE i, mean first, off what a great, Name,
Speaker 1: Dy that just sounds like a Guy Red sox fans
Speaker 1: could root four years to. Come and he was putting
Speaker 1: up some great numbers BETWEEN a and HIGH a hitting
Speaker 1: two eighty, six three forty one on, bass five point
Speaker 1: forty on the slugging eighteen home, runs eleven stolen bases
Speaker 1: at only nineteen years. Old so if you like, prospects
Speaker 1: this is a guy for. You and On fangraphs he
Speaker 1: was actually In fangraft's top one hundred. Prospects so this
Speaker 1: was WHERE i was, like, ooh, like you, know, yeah
Speaker 1: maybe you took a bit of a gut puncture irons
Speaker 1: and oh. Nerbias, okay all, right Fine, Witherspoon yeah you
Speaker 1: know you'd like to be able to tap into that. Potential, Okay,
Speaker 1: ah But, andy whoa. Man he looked really. Good he
Speaker 1: has put up some good. Numbers, man there's. Potential but
Speaker 1: the justification here is that he's really far away and
Speaker 1: you and at the end of the, day you just never.
Speaker 1: Know with, prospects especially the ones that are far. AWAY
Speaker 1: i can't think of an example off the top of
Speaker 1: my head right, now BUT i know there's been a
Speaker 1: couple where they looked really good at a ball and
Speaker 1: then they get to DOUBLE a and TRIPLE a and
Speaker 1: then things just go. South so you, know you never
Speaker 1: know at the end of the. Day i'm not saying
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen with, him but you just never. Know granted,
Speaker 1: though value, wise, sure you of course prospects are always
Speaker 1: going to have the. Risk but value, wise because of
Speaker 1: the good season that he's, having because of the good
Speaker 1: scouting reports that he's, gotten he had good. Value now
Speaker 1: with these four players that you sent, back you can
Speaker 1: make a justification for all of. Them from my point of,
Speaker 1: view surplus value, WISE i believe this was a massive,
Speaker 1: overpay huge surplus value, wise not thinking about it from
Speaker 1: an emotional point of, view not thinking about it from
Speaker 1: even just you, know just a baseball player point of.
Speaker 1: View When i'm thinking of pure, value this was a big,
Speaker 1: overpay BUT i don't mind. It even that might sound
Speaker 1: Like i'm. Coping it might MAYBE i am. COPING i don't,
Speaker 1: know BUT i am always someone that likes to spend.
Speaker 1: Wisely you, know even out there WHEN i go to
Speaker 1: the grocery, STORE i don't like THE i don't like
Speaker 1: the price of that too. MUCH i don't think that's
Speaker 1: really worth. That i'm Gonna i'm gonna go put that.
Speaker 1: Back but with trades, too you, know When i'm putting
Speaker 1: Together mott, trades you, KNOW i think about these kind
Speaker 1: of things AND i just feel like you really gave
Speaker 1: up a lot. Here but then there's a justification for
Speaker 1: that as. Well two. Justifications, one you needed to go
Speaker 1: get someone you. Needed you needed one more, Guy you
Speaker 1: needed something you. Need you needed this team with how
Speaker 1: hard they've been, playing you felt like they needed another.
Speaker 1: Bat you needed to make an, addition you needed to
Speaker 1: go get aggressive. It and you needed to go land a.
Speaker 1: Dude you got the. Dude another, justification we had heard
Speaker 1: The yankees were jumping in. On The yankees were making
Speaker 1: a play For Adlee. Rushman first, off it's just crazy
Speaker 1: that The. ORIOLES i still can't believe they traded, Him
Speaker 1: and second of, ALL i can't believe they traded him in,
Speaker 1: Division AND i was saying, That i'm, like, man there's
Speaker 1: no way they trade them to The, yankees, Right there's
Speaker 1: no way because The, orioles you think about, it it's
Speaker 1: not like they're twenty games under five hundred and ten
Speaker 1: games out of a postseason. Spot they're right there for
Speaker 1: a wildcard. Spot but obviously something with you, know In Oriols,
Speaker 1: land they weren't convinced that it wasn't it wasn't gonna get.
Speaker 1: Better SO i don't, Know So i'm, Thinking, okay, Man
Speaker 1: yankees are gonna make a play for. Him. Okay so
Speaker 1: the justification right there is you got to beat out
Speaker 1: not just another, team but another team in your. Division
Speaker 1: but not just another team in your, division another team
Speaker 1: that is near the top of The American. League so
Speaker 1: not only are you trying to beat out that, team
Speaker 1: but you're also trying to prevent that team from getting
Speaker 1: that good. Player so if you run under them in the,
Speaker 1: postseason possibly you know what that good player, making you regret.
Speaker 1: It so there are a lot of justifications and. Schules
Speaker 1: New york backed out bad. Medicals, WELL i don't. Know
Speaker 1: he's going on a rehab. Assignment, NOW i never found that.
Speaker 1: Report where was that? REPORT i never actually saw That
Speaker 1: yankee from the medical. REPORT i tried looking around for,
Speaker 1: it BUT i couldn't find. It did anyone have That Adly?
Speaker 1: Yankee let me? See Brian cashman said The yankees grinded
Speaker 1: through the catching market and had many conversations With baltimore
Speaker 1: About Adley. Rutschman we were unable to meet the, price
Speaker 1: so they did their business elsewhere. THERE i guess there
Speaker 1: were a couple outlets about the, medicals but never saw
Speaker 1: like an official. REPORT i don't, know never saw like
Speaker 1: an official report on that. THERE i saw a couple
Speaker 1: of outlets mentioning, it but never any of the big.
Speaker 1: Reporters either, way if the medicals were, concerned they were
Speaker 1: still trying to get. Them at the end of the,
Speaker 1: day they're obviously that report right there that was from
Speaker 1: this was From Brian, hoak WHO i believe is a
Speaker 1: very Reputable yankee. Source so, hey if The yankees were
Speaker 1: trying for him in the, end you got to try
Speaker 1: and beat them. Out and who, knows maybe The yankees
Speaker 1: were were also offering a monster package and you had
Speaker 1: to go beat that, out, Right SO i don't, KNOW
Speaker 1: i don't. Know either, way you didn't want The yankees
Speaker 1: to get. Them whether they were concerned with medicals or,
Speaker 1: not they were still interested in getting the. Player so
Speaker 1: you had to find a way to beat them. Out
Speaker 1: and you, KNOW i kind of wonder Was. Endy Was
Speaker 1: endy the guy that you end up adding to this
Speaker 1: deal to get a deal? DONE i don't. KNOW i
Speaker 1: wonder kind of what was the tipping, Point like was
Speaker 1: it ainsid R bias And witherspoon and then you're, like all,
Speaker 1: right we'll give You indy. NOW i will SAY i
Speaker 1: did see a report earlier in the day that That
Speaker 1: Elmer Rodriguez cruz was being talked about from The yankees'
Speaker 1: point of, view from The yankee side For. Rutshmen so
Speaker 1: The Red sox they had the advantage there With, yanson
Speaker 1: who is a higher ranking pitching, prospect and so it's,
Speaker 1: LIKE i don't, KNOW i kind of just feel, like
Speaker 1: do The Red, sox like what part of this did
Speaker 1: they get? AGGRESSIVE i would like to Think i'm not
Speaker 1: going to confirm that or, anything but you kind of
Speaker 1: wonder where they, like all, right you know what we'll
Speaker 1: give you, endy let's do the. Deal SO i don't
Speaker 1: know either, way no matter how you slice, it this
Speaker 1: is a massive, overpay absolutely is no question about. It
Speaker 1: but it's one of those only time will. Tell is
Speaker 1: that going to come back to bite The Red sox
Speaker 1: in the. End right? NOW i think with what you
Speaker 1: have in front of, you you have a shot to
Speaker 1: really make a run this, year but then you also
Speaker 1: have that strong core in place to go for it
Speaker 1: again next year as, well and you GOT adlei in the.
Speaker 1: Fold to, me, Yeah like it's one of those where it's, like,
Speaker 1: oh like, wow that is a that's a lot to give,
Speaker 1: Up But i'm still okay with. It it's weird right.
Speaker 1: Now it's LIKE i try not to let the numbers
Speaker 1: get too. Much like of COURSE i mainly focus on,
Speaker 1: numbers BUT i also, think, like was the juice worth the?
Speaker 1: SQUEEZE i do feel like it is here and with
Speaker 1: The Red sox when it comes to their player development and,
Speaker 1: scouting the ability to bring in good, talent especially, internationally
Speaker 1: and they've done, well you know when it comes to,
Speaker 1: that right exam another example being Justin. Gonzales you know
Speaker 1: they've done well in that, Department franklinarius, obviously SO i
Speaker 1: believe in The Red sox ability to be able to
Speaker 1: replenish that farm system over. Time and Obviously witherspoon aronsen
Speaker 1: another justification forgetting for moving on from these pitching, prospects
Speaker 1: you already have a a lot of pitching that is
Speaker 1: Major league ready and also a lot of it cost
Speaker 1: controlled young even getting even moving on From connolly, early
Speaker 1: you still Got Peyton totley And Jake. Bennett you Got
Speaker 1: suarez signed, up you Got crochet signed, up you got
Speaker 1: guys coming back. Here you got you, know let's see
Speaker 1: How Tanner houck is when he comes, back but you
Speaker 1: know he's gonna be back here. Eventually so there's a
Speaker 1: lot of, guys you, know and may if you've got
Speaker 1: to make another move in the off, season then you,
Speaker 1: know so be. It but you had a lot of. Pitching,
Speaker 1: again it sounds like Maybe i'm, Coping BUT i feel
Speaker 1: like while the overall package is, BIG i feel like
Speaker 1: you can justify every. Part trust, Me i'd rather Keep
Speaker 1: i'd rather Keep, endy you, know and and have him
Speaker 1: grow more into this pharmacist them and see, him you,
Speaker 1: know turn into his you, know a great player in
Speaker 1: the next couple of. Years but with what you have right,
Speaker 1: Now like you take a look at The Milwaukee, brewers Right,
Speaker 1: like take a look at The. Brewers you, know they
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to go Get trek Schoobl did they do? It, No,
Speaker 1: like despite being a great, team very good, team well,
Speaker 1: managed good talented, players but they don't go make a
Speaker 1: move and like they. Go you, know they ended up
Speaker 1: Getting Dustin may this, year while he is a lot.
Speaker 1: Better you make a couple of. Moves is that going to?
Speaker 1: Be you, know in the postseason the cream rises to the,
Speaker 1: top Is Dustin may gonna put them over the? EDGE
Speaker 1: i don't. Know and that's not a knock on The.
Speaker 1: Brewers i'm just saying it's they didn't want to swing.
Speaker 1: Big actually they give up a couple of pretty good
Speaker 1: prospects in That Dustin may deal very far. Away BUT
Speaker 1: i don't. KNOW i just feel like The Red sox
Speaker 1: they needed to swing big. Year they addressed a position
Speaker 1: of need to. Upgrade they rank near the. BOTTOM i,
Speaker 1: mean you know you can sit here and, say oh
Speaker 1: the reds Oh, adlee you, know two fifty career batting.
Speaker 1: Average you, know, yeah you can you can look at all,
Speaker 1: that but if you're looking at it from a wins
Speaker 1: above replacement, standpoint he's on pace for a pretty solid.
Speaker 1: Year he's on pace for, uh right around a three
Speaker 1: and a half wins above, replacement and he's kind of
Speaker 1: starting to trend back up. Again there's another if you
Speaker 1: want to make another comparison to The Curtis mead. TRADE
Speaker 1: i forgot to mention that comparison. Earlier Where Curtis mead
Speaker 1: you can tap into a little bit more battered ball with,
Speaker 1: him who already had good plate. Discipline same thing With.
Speaker 1: Adley but another, thing It's mead was trending. Up, Well
Speaker 1: adley is kind of trending. Backup so, LIKE i don't
Speaker 1: know they wanted to go for a player like, THAT
Speaker 1: i don't, know but The Red sox they ran near
Speaker 1: the bottom when it came to catching fangraft wins above.
Speaker 1: Replacement they needed to make an upgrade. There and, hey
Speaker 1: you get a guy that's trending back, up who has
Speaker 1: a great track record outside of the last couple of,
Speaker 1: years a year and a half or, so AND i
Speaker 1: believe in The Red sox ability to get his back
Speaker 1: going a little bit more so overall the trade, itself
Speaker 1: without to wrap this up in one little simple, way
Speaker 1: the trade. Itself i'm gonna be. HONEST i wasn't a
Speaker 1: big fan of the trade, itself BUT i like the.
Speaker 1: PLAYER i hope that makes. Sense not a fan of the.
Speaker 1: TRADE i think it's actually a pretty bad trade from
Speaker 1: The Red sox point of, view but you get. IT
Speaker 1: i think a good player and a guy that's gonna
Speaker 1: be not just also a good, player but just a
Speaker 1: guy that's great in a, clubhouse good leader on the,
Speaker 1: field you. KNOW i think he brings a lot to the.
Speaker 1: Table it was a, lot BUT i think the juice
Speaker 1: was worth the, squeeze even though you had to squeeze
Speaker 1: quite a. Bit and, Also i'll say it one more,
Speaker 1: time he's not going to The. Yankees Adley rochman coming To.
Speaker 1: Boston you gotta love, it ladies and, gentlemen you gotta love.
Speaker 1: It really. Quick i'm gonna take a quick. Breather i'm
Speaker 1: gonna grab a simple, water but we have a message
Speaker 1: from one of our. Sponsors we'll be right.

Speaker 1: Com, alrighty let's get back to. It that's not the
Speaker 1: right screen we didn't have a game here, tonight But
Speaker 1: adley coming To. Boston you gotta love. It you gotta love.
Speaker 1: It AND i did see a comment in the. CHAT
Speaker 1: i want to actually make SURE i address, This chris
Speaker 1: of the. Chat you're trying to justify the. Overpay it's
Speaker 1: not Necessarily i'm justified the, overpay but it's more like
Speaker 1: the individual parts of the. Trade you kind you can
Speaker 1: kind of make a case for, it like it's still
Speaker 1: an overpaid it's a terrible. Trade it's not a good.
Speaker 1: Trade but from a winning, perspective from a adding a
Speaker 1: good player, perspective from beating out a division rival, perspective
Speaker 1: you can make that case not a good, trade you.
Speaker 1: Know but that's where you had to get. Aggressive you
Speaker 1: had to beat out other. Teams and it is what it,
Speaker 1: is you. Know and, also you, know a part of
Speaker 1: me feels a bit more at ease about it BECAUSE
Speaker 1: i do believe in The Red sox player, development AND
Speaker 1: i believe in their, scouting AND i believe in them
Speaker 1: being able to replenish that over. Time and and also
Speaker 1: you're giving up a lot of, pitching Right, well who
Speaker 1: is the guy that just brought in this Pitching Anthony
Speaker 1: ayensen And Kyson, witherspoon the guy that just made the
Speaker 1: trade For. Adley SO i believe In craig's ability to
Speaker 1: find more pitching in the future in future. Drafts you've
Speaker 1: got to, remember we just had a draft AND i
Speaker 1: felt like they added some pretty good players. There, NOW
Speaker 1: i wonder if that also came into play a little.
Speaker 1: Bit you, know you, added, like, yeah you're giving up
Speaker 1: a good prospect And, endy but you're bringing a guy
Speaker 1: Like Jake schaffner out Of North carolina who's also very,
Speaker 1: athletic who also has a good hit, tool has the
Speaker 1: ability to play some outfield if you needed. To so it's,
Speaker 1: LIKE i kind of wonder if the picks that they
Speaker 1: had just made maybe came into. Play you, know obviously
Speaker 1: it's nice to have a un, prospects, right BUT i
Speaker 1: wonder if they're, like you, know, well, okay we picked
Speaker 1: up a couple of these. Guys, oh it's gonna be
Speaker 1: tough to get rid of, him but we we can
Speaker 1: figure this. OUT i wonder if that came into. PLAY
Speaker 1: i don't, know or Maybe i'm just. Delusional that's possible as.
Speaker 1: Well moving on From, adley, AGAIN i like the Move Marcelo.
Speaker 1: Meyer Marcelo. Meyer that is Not Marcelo. Meyer that Is Hunter.
Speaker 1: Goodman hold on a, second we got we, gotta we
Speaker 1: gotta change. That, goodness, gracious that's Not Marcelo. Meyer this
Speaker 1: Is Marcelo. Meyer let's go, here there we. Go No
Speaker 1: Hunter goodman. HERE i didn't realize that Was Hunter goodman
Speaker 1: on the, screen But Marcelo meyer going to The San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Giants this was kind of another one WHERE i was
Speaker 1: Very WHEN i first saw the, TRADE i, thought, okay,
Speaker 1: wow like that's another like the return is pretty underwhelming.
Speaker 1: Here i'll get To Eric miller in just a. Second
Speaker 1: WHO i do like by the WAY i see you
Speaker 1: in the Chat raphael for, CALL i, agree And i'm
Speaker 1: gonna get to WHY i like the addition of. Him
Speaker 1: but you all know WHERE i come. From i'm a
Speaker 1: nerd with this. Stuff. Value i've probably said that word
Speaker 1: like a million. Times but when you think About Marcelo,
Speaker 1: meyer obviously he lost his footing in The boston, organization
Speaker 1: had some issues with swing and, miss had, constant constant.
Speaker 1: INJURIES i don't, know something like just never felt right
Speaker 1: behind the, scenes like one example Being Alex kora just never,
Speaker 1: LIKE i don't, know never really warmed up to. Him
Speaker 1: there was always like this weird sort of friction going
Speaker 1: back to spring, training AND i don't, know it was just,
Speaker 1: LIKE i don't, know there was always something just iffy
Speaker 1: in the. AIR i can never put my finger on.
Speaker 1: It but you, KNOW i go. Back i've told you
Speaker 1: all this a million. TIMES i was told When meyer
Speaker 1: was within the minor league system there were questions about
Speaker 1: him getting into the weight room and you, know putting
Speaker 1: that work in and uh, SO i don't, know LIKE
Speaker 1: i always, wondered, like was there like this kind of
Speaker 1: some kind of a weird. Perception i'm not sure what it.
Speaker 1: Was i'm not, sure but obviously like he lost his
Speaker 1: footing in The Red sox, organization especially after getting hurt.
Speaker 1: There now you felt like you were kind of time
Speaker 1: was ticking On Marcella. Meyer and we had heard, him you,
Speaker 1: know popping up in rumors going back to the off.
Speaker 1: Season you, know, so oh my, Goodness luke. Subscribe, nope
Speaker 1: like and Subscribe Long, day ladies and, Gentlemen Long. Day
Speaker 1: But Marcella meyer definitely lost his footing a little. BIT
Speaker 1: i do Think San francisco is going to be a
Speaker 1: better home for him BECAUSE i think it kind of
Speaker 1: brings those expectations down a little. Bit With, boston you,
Speaker 1: know as they're you, know coming up through the, organization
Speaker 1: Right Roman, Meyer Christian, CAMPBELL a lot of expectations were,
Speaker 1: happening and With meyer when he wasn't fully hitting even
Speaker 1: minimal expectations in the, beginning you felt like the pressure was,
Speaker 1: increasing and then there were, injuries and it just the
Speaker 1: pressure just kept. Mounting SO i feel Like San, francisco
Speaker 1: with how bad of a season they've, had they're gonna
Speaker 1: be going through a reset. HERE i think that's gonna
Speaker 1: be a better opportunity for a moving. Forward it's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting where he fits in long term because they
Speaker 1: Got Willie damas at, short so Could meyer play? Third
Speaker 1: could he play second at some? Point do they move
Speaker 1: A damas at some? Point so that's going to be
Speaker 1: interesting to see how that plays out. Now value, wise,
Speaker 1: though while there are a lot of, negatives and while
Speaker 1: he has had, injuries he's obviously struggled with the, bat
Speaker 1: he still has that status of being a top fifteen
Speaker 1: prospect that doesn't happen by accident that they're not going
Speaker 1: to be putting these guys that high in prospect rankings for.
Speaker 1: Giggles you know they're not doing it for. Fun there's
Speaker 1: a reason this guy ranks so high because there is
Speaker 1: a lot of. Talent there is a lot of upside
Speaker 1: on both sides of the, ball playing a high value position.
Speaker 1: Shortstop teams build around. Shortstops why do you think they
Speaker 1: take so many shortstops and drafts because they build around?
Speaker 1: Them So, Meyern, well, yes a lot of negatives there
Speaker 1: along with the five years of, control there was still
Speaker 1: a good amount of surplus. THERE i felt. Personally WHILE
Speaker 1: i Like Eric miller a, Lot i'm very happy to get.
Speaker 1: Him and you've all heard. Me you have all heard
Speaker 1: me over how how many weeks Now i've been saying,
Speaker 1: this going back to the, OFFSEASON i felt like you
Speaker 1: needed a high leverage, lefty someone that can come in
Speaker 1: and just shut it down a little. Bit not a
Speaker 1: Rolldist chapman, necessarily but just a good lefty near the
Speaker 1: back end of the. Bullpen And Eric, Miller holy, cow
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be. Fun. Hm he might give
Speaker 1: you a heart attack a little bit. Too but if
Speaker 1: we're taking a look at the stat, cast a lot of.
Speaker 1: Red he's gonna give you a ton of e. Low
Speaker 1: he's gonna come at you with a good amount of.
Speaker 1: Sinkers he's gonna come at you with some. Sliders he's
Speaker 1: basically a sinker slider. Guy he's got good. Stuff he's
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of swing and miss in, zone
Speaker 1: get a lot of. Strikeout it's not gonna get a
Speaker 1: lot of guys to, chase believe it or. Not but
Speaker 1: his stuff is that good to where he can get
Speaker 1: guys to swing and miss in. Zone he's gonna a
Speaker 1: lot of ground, balls a lot of weak. Contact this
Speaker 1: is where the heart attack comes. In, though as you
Speaker 1: can see, here he is in the first percentile with
Speaker 1: his walk. Percentage he's walking over six batters per nine this,
Speaker 1: Year so that is a little a little. Concerning now
Speaker 1: he can work around, that nothing nothing wrong with. That
Speaker 1: he can use the stuff that he's. Got he can
Speaker 1: has the strikeout ability to kind of work around that
Speaker 1: a little. Bit and obviously he's been posting good. Numbers
Speaker 1: if you take a look, here E ahl right at
Speaker 1: two point seven to, Six fipp is like a smidge.
Speaker 1: Higher the guy's a really good reliever out of the.
Speaker 1: Bullpen but when you are comparing surplus, value it's just like,
Speaker 1: Wow like he's a reliever at the end of he
Speaker 1: does have a few years of, control so that's a
Speaker 1: nice thing. Too but relievers are just not going to
Speaker 1: have much ceiling when it comes to wins above. Replacement
Speaker 1: it's just how it. Is meyer he gives you more ceiling,
Speaker 1: there even with the downsides you might see, here like
Speaker 1: twenty eight million For, meyer it was a lot higher
Speaker 1: a little while. Ago it was like in the the
Speaker 1: fifty to sixty. Range a little bit. Ago he's come
Speaker 1: down to around the twenty five to thirty. Range so
Speaker 1: you have to just keep that in. Mind SO i, thought,
Speaker 1: personally but then, again you got to play with the
Speaker 1: market and With. Meyer you Know arius, rising you kind
Speaker 1: of felt Like meyer just he lost his, way he
Speaker 1: lost his place in the. Organization you, know story coming.
Speaker 1: Back that's a different conversation With, arius with whatever happens.
Speaker 1: There but obviously they've been getting guys stepping up for
Speaker 1: Them Shang, monasterio you. Know so it's Like meyer's, hurt
Speaker 1: but when he came, back, like you, know how do
Speaker 1: you fit him back in at this? Point, Yeah LIKE
Speaker 1: i understood that part that, yeah maybe didn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of, leverage and you, know so this was obviously the.
Speaker 1: UH i, mean who knows what other offers are out,
Speaker 1: there but on, paper this was the best deal The
Speaker 1: Red sox could. Get AM i a fan of, this
Speaker 1: of the the trade, itself not really from a numbers
Speaker 1: point of, view BUT i understand it if that makes
Speaker 1: Sense Eric. Miller at the end of the, day that's a.
Speaker 1: Night that's a really good, get really good. Get and,
Speaker 1: Yes Mysstic, SUMMER i completely. Agree they also got a
Speaker 1: decent prospect here In Carlos. Gutierrez he's a bit, undersized
Speaker 1: a bit, undersized BUT i actually think think this is
Speaker 1: a pretty underrated edition. Here he's got a good hit,
Speaker 1: tool he's got. Speed so far in the, year his
Speaker 1: batting average has really come down since going To HIGH.
Speaker 1: A he hit three point fifty one at a ball
Speaker 1: last year At HIGH. A this year he's hitting two seventy.
Speaker 1: One but he's getting on base at a three eighty five.
Speaker 1: Clip he's slugging four forty one a one to twenty
Speaker 1: FOUR wrc plus nine home runs twenty six dolen. Bases,
Speaker 1: now he's a little undersized at five foot, nine but
Speaker 1: a guy with a good hit, tool has some athleticism.
Speaker 1: There what IF i said a million times about The
Speaker 1: Red sox player, development maybe try and get a bit
Speaker 1: more out of that batter ball. Profile maybe they could
Speaker 1: tap into a little bit. More how much? More not so,
Speaker 1: sure because you know he's, undersized he's five to. Nine but,
Speaker 1: Hey madroy ended up being a really good player IF
Speaker 1: i remember. Correctly but, Anyway Carlos GUTIERREZ i think was
Speaker 1: that was a nice addition to this. Trade WHEN i
Speaker 1: saw Just Eric, Miller i'm, like there has to be
Speaker 1: more than. That, like they can't just be a. Reliever
Speaker 1: can't just be a. Reliever so WHEN i saw the
Speaker 1: addition Of, GUTIEIRAS i was, like, okay all, right that
Speaker 1: makes it a little. Better it's still at overpay from
Speaker 1: The Red sox point of, view but again you kind
Speaker 1: of understand the. Circumstances SO i get it in the, end,
Speaker 1: though to get a guy Like Eric, miller who's gonna
Speaker 1: be just nasty coming, out you, know and especially in
Speaker 1: these like high leverage spots like coming at you pumping
Speaker 1: V lo going, lefty, lefty he's gonna be really nice to. Have,
Speaker 1: yeah he might might give you a heart attack a
Speaker 1: little bit walking bators left and. Right but he's really
Speaker 1: gonna be a weapon for. You and you don't just
Speaker 1: have him for this, year you have him for next,
Speaker 1: year the year after, that and the year after. That
Speaker 1: SO i can get on board with. That so, overall you,
Speaker 1: know the trade, ITSELF i thought it wasn't like a
Speaker 1: great trade on, paper but when considering, circumstances when just
Speaker 1: thinking about it from again a baseball player team situation
Speaker 1: point of, view, Yeah i'm fine with. It you know,
Speaker 1: WHAT i have liked more to, get you, know for
Speaker 1: considering Where meyer was not too long, ago top fifteen. Prospect,
Speaker 1: yeah of COURSE i feel like you should have gotten.
Speaker 1: More But i'm okay with Getting. Miller and Hopefully Carlos
Speaker 1: gutierrez can turn into something in the minor leagues and
Speaker 1: that can kind of make you forget about how much
Speaker 1: Potential meyer. HAD i Think Carlos goudieires is a high
Speaker 1: floor kind of a. Prospect so, again ONCE i saw
Speaker 1: that in, there ONCE i saw him get, included that
Speaker 1: did make me feel better about, it not, fully but.
Speaker 1: Better so in the, End Marcella, meyer you, know unfortunate
Speaker 1: that he wasn't able to figure it out In, boston
Speaker 1: BUT i do hope he figures it out In San.
Speaker 1: Francisco and another thing too With, meyer you, know maybe
Speaker 1: that ends up being a good fit for a better
Speaker 1: fit for him, mentally you, know being from The West
Speaker 1: Coast originally he's going back out to The West. Coast so,
Speaker 1: AGAIN i think that's going to be a better fit
Speaker 1: for him long. Term, now we did have some other
Speaker 1: moves that have some other. Moves let's go through. Those Eli,
Speaker 1: white that was the blockbuster of the, Day ladies and.
Speaker 1: Gentlemen could you imagine if all they did was Get Eli? White,
Speaker 1: OH i think people would have lost It Eli. White
Speaker 1: but With Eli, white you, know he's gonna be a
Speaker 1: guy that comes off the. Bench he's gonna be a
Speaker 1: right handed. Bat but you, KNOW i think there's that's
Speaker 1: a guy that could end up possibly being a pretty
Speaker 1: nice hand for. You hold on a, second trying to
Speaker 1: pull this up. Here you, know he's not doing anything.
Speaker 1: Crazy you, know he's hitting two thirty three to eighty
Speaker 1: five on, bass he's a little bit of, pop he's
Speaker 1: got four zero six on the. Slugging but really you're
Speaker 1: bringing him in for defense and good base. Running he's
Speaker 1: a guy that's really fast as. Well he's only got
Speaker 1: four stolen bases this year in sixty nine, games but
Speaker 1: his sprint speed ranks really. Well so that's a GUY
Speaker 1: i think who could help you out a little bits,
Speaker 1: again be a good hand off of the, bench a
Speaker 1: guy that could definitely bring some value to the. Team
Speaker 1: SO i see you in the. Chat S. C. Gilmore
Speaker 1: Eli white has a zero point six and Then. Duran right,
Speaker 1: now that's kind of funny to think, about right Because
Speaker 1: duran obviously with the down. Year oh, WOW i actually
Speaker 1: Thought duran's f woar was a little. Higher, well that's
Speaker 1: actually pretty. Funny duran has a zero f wour But
Speaker 1: Eli white has a zero point six in sixty nine. Games,
Speaker 1: Interesting but, Anyway Eli, white that's a right handed bat
Speaker 1: they can put in, there you, know works his way.
Speaker 1: IN i think it was. Fine, Also Jake roger is
Speaker 1: coming along in The Adley retchman. Trade he's only got
Speaker 1: a couple of years of a couple of months of control.
Speaker 1: Left he's gonna be a free agent. Soon he's not,
Speaker 1: really he hasn't really done too much this. Year he
Speaker 1: was a guy a little while back with The. Tigers
Speaker 1: he was looking great, defensively really good, defensively and he
Speaker 1: had twenty one home runs back in twenty twenty. Three
Speaker 1: but you, know this, year there's just not really anything going.
Speaker 1: On he's got AN ops under six ops under six
Speaker 1: hundred sixty ONE wrc. Plus even his defense has kind
Speaker 1: of falling. OFF i think he's had a couple of.
Speaker 1: Injuries BUT i kind of just wonder When adley ends
Speaker 1: up coming off THE, il, LIKE i, mean you already Got,
Speaker 1: wong so, LIKE i don't know where Does rogers work
Speaker 1: into the mix, there so also mixed mystic. Summer thank
Speaker 1: you for pointing that. OUT i forgot to mention that
Speaker 1: With Eli, white that is going to be interesting because,
Speaker 1: obviously being a right handed hitting, outfielder are gonna have
Speaker 1: him And Jami. JONES i think that's something to pay
Speaker 1: attention to a little bit Because Jamai jones has been
Speaker 1: hitting really, well so something to pay attention. TO i Mean,
Speaker 1: jones he's been hitting really, well really. Well SO i don't,
Speaker 1: KNOW i wonder which way they go. There white is
Speaker 1: going to be the better, defender SO i kind of
Speaker 1: wonder if that's where The Red sox are gonna go
Speaker 1: and then you, know you stick with your you stick
Speaker 1: with the guys Like romea and and so guard off the.
Speaker 1: Bench all, right interesting to see how that all plays
Speaker 1: out extra and, yeah where where Is white gonna play?
Speaker 1: Again it's gonna be is he taking that role eventually
Speaker 1: Of Jamai? Jones but, again he's been hitting great and
Speaker 1: he's giving you that pop from the right. Side SO
Speaker 1: i don't, know could like COULD i don't, KNOW i
Speaker 1: actually don't know the answer to. That that's that's a
Speaker 1: very good. Question and, YEAH T, perk that's that's an
Speaker 1: option as. Well With Eli, white, Well Eli white has
Speaker 1: no options. Left that's something to think. About and With Jamai,
Speaker 1: jones he has no options left as. Well so you,
Speaker 1: know could that be you, know LIKE dfa and then
Speaker 1: maybe accept like a minor league, assignment you, know something like.
Speaker 1: That so, yeah Sc Gilmore jones is a D. H
Speaker 1: he's a pink shit bat that looks more locked in
Speaker 1: than roll. Me, yeah you kind of. Wonder, yeah It's
Speaker 1: i'm interested to see how they work out the bench.
Speaker 1: Eventually something to pay attention to over the next couple
Speaker 1: over the next, week especially When adley comes back and
Speaker 1: then they got to kind, of you, know kind of
Speaker 1: reshuffle some. Things we will, see we will, see but,
Speaker 1: uh we do have some comments from we are going
Speaker 1: to take a listen to.
Speaker 4: It let's take a look. Here what did Mister Craig
Speaker 4: breslow have to say here.
Speaker 1: Today i'm gonna thank Mister Tyler milliken for posting these
Speaker 1: clips here. Today you, KNOW i didn't. KNOW i didn't
Speaker 1: even think about it That craig was he would eventually
Speaker 1: talk with the media. After IF i had thought about that,
Speaker 1: SOONER i would have requested to try and be in.
Speaker 1: THAT i didn't even think about. IT i don't know
Speaker 1: IF i would have got approved for it or, not
Speaker 1: but they only kind of they tend to only approve
Speaker 1: LIKE i don't, know like people that have been around
Speaker 1: for a, While SO i don't know IF i would
Speaker 1: have been able to get. In but, anyway let's listen
Speaker 1: To Craig, breslow shall.
Speaker 5: We you, know as we've looked to to upgrade the,
Speaker 5: team that was that was an opportunity for. Us and you,
Speaker 5: know In atlie you get uh you, know impact on
Speaker 5: both sides of the. Ball he's a he's a premium
Speaker 5: defender switch, Hitter so so you, know he's a he's
Speaker 5: a great fit for for our. Park he doesn't strike,
Speaker 5: out he walks and gets on, base he can hit for.
Speaker 5: Damage you, KNOW i think there's just there's a ton
Speaker 5: to like about.
Speaker 1: Him simple as, that there is a ton to like about.
Speaker 1: Him and, yeah he's still not fully back to where
Speaker 1: he was like the first couple of years of his,
Speaker 1: career but, UH i think he's shrending in that direction
Speaker 1: for the next. One he talks about adding to the.
Speaker 6: TEAM i could have a quick follow Up craig was
Speaker 6: any of this motivated by looking at The American league
Speaker 6: in terms of competitiveness and seeing a rather wide open
Speaker 6: field where there was an opportunity for the team to
Speaker 6: make a deep run despite starting the season.
Speaker 1: Slowly you, know.
Speaker 5: The competitive environment is it's part of the equation in
Speaker 5: that you, know there are years where this record could
Speaker 5: be leading our. Division there are years where we could
Speaker 5: be firmly out of the playoff. Picture SO i, guess
Speaker 5: like implicitly it's it's part of the way that we approach,
Speaker 5: this BUT i think more it's just the way that
Speaker 5: these guys have, played the job that they've done on the,
Speaker 5: field the coaching, staff the way the fans have supported this,
Speaker 5: team and a. Turnaround you, know we felt going into
Speaker 5: this season like we had a really competitive. Team we're
Speaker 5: seeing it over the last month and a, half and
Speaker 5: we wanted to do everything that we could to give
Speaker 5: ourselves the best chance to go out and compete for
Speaker 5: A World, series.
Speaker 1: As simple as. That at the end of the, day
Speaker 1: whether you think the trade was an, overpay whether you
Speaker 1: think it was an, underpay, whatever, pay you're adding to
Speaker 1: a team to in the end try and achieve the
Speaker 1: ultimate goal of A World. Series now there's also the
Speaker 1: other part of it, too where you do want to
Speaker 1: have that sustained. Success so, yes you are giving up
Speaker 1: a lot out of this farm. System AND i see
Speaker 1: you in the Chat, Extrian Uh, extrin where was your?
Speaker 1: Comment this is probably the biggest Overpay i've ever, Seen.
Speaker 1: Robbi can you name a bigger overpay to be, HONEST
Speaker 1: i mean there's been, overpays but whoa like this one
Speaker 1: was pretty? Big this one was. BIG i WILL i
Speaker 1: will not argue with anyone about. That absolutely an overpay for.
Speaker 1: Sure so, again, yes you want to win A World,
Speaker 1: series you want you want to go for championships you
Speaker 1: want to, win you also want to have that sustained success.
Speaker 1: Too it's gonna come down to whether or not The
Speaker 1: Red sox replenish this farm system if they feel like
Speaker 1: they're still gonna be in an okay, place if they
Speaker 1: can make up for the loss of saying ndy as a.
Speaker 1: CAR i will also say this part of me does fear,
Speaker 1: that you, KNOW i am not excited for the time
Speaker 1: Where ianson ends up turning into a front of the
Speaker 1: rotation kind of a guy top half of the, rotation
Speaker 1: kind of a guy for The, orioles and he's just
Speaker 1: bowing down The Red. Sox at some point that's also
Speaker 1: like come, on like can we not just? Please, man
Speaker 1: don't let don't let that. Happen and even though someone
Speaker 1: like as a car down the road continues, developing turns
Speaker 1: into a really good player and the guy's just doing
Speaker 1: damage against The Red, sox you do have to wonder
Speaker 1: about that down the, road, Right but it is what
Speaker 1: it is in the, end you, know if you are
Speaker 1: trying to win a, championship, yeah like this is going
Speaker 1: to BE i think a move that puts you more
Speaker 1: in that. Direction but then, again you talk about the sustained.
Speaker 1: Part you have him for next year. Too so moving on, Here.
Speaker 6: Frank, is as you went into, this did you see
Speaker 6: catching as the position you most wanted to improve and
Speaker 6: was add lead your focus of?
Speaker 5: This we went in with maybe casting a broad net
Speaker 5: over a few different ways that we could get.
Speaker 3: Better.
Speaker 5: UH i found it's really difficult to try to predict
Speaker 5: the market or try to predict exactly what players will be,
Speaker 5: available especially this year when you know there are a
Speaker 5: lot of teams that still have you, know playoff. Aspirations
Speaker 5: so a lot of the work over the days leading
Speaker 5: up to today was just having incessant conversations with other
Speaker 5: other teams and just trying to understand what players might be,
Speaker 5: available what the costs might, be the way that those
Speaker 5: impact our. Club BUT i do think this year our
Speaker 5: strategy was more about targeting players that that, met you,
Speaker 5: know our needs and allowed us to upgrade areas that
Speaker 5: we felt like were could be, upgraded and going out
Speaker 5: and targeting them and trying to be aggressive and bringing
Speaker 5: them in as opposed to kind of sitting back and
Speaker 5: waiting for the market to come to.
Speaker 1: Us talking about being, aggressive, right casting a wide, net
Speaker 1: and good they they they did the right, Approach they checked.
Speaker 1: In i'm probably like so many different, players and the
Speaker 1: zero did on the guy that they thought had the
Speaker 1: right chance that they could the best chance they thought
Speaker 1: they could land without having to give up someone Like. Franklinarius,
Speaker 1: Right so it's, Interesting, paul we get a super, Chat.
Speaker 1: Paul what do we got hold?
Speaker 7: On?
Speaker 1: PAUL i don't know why it's not showing. Up there we, Go,
Speaker 1: paul love, You. Robbie we normally, agree but provide a
Speaker 1: rational argument as to why this was an. Overpay so
Speaker 1: the rational argument THAT i have is when you think
Speaker 1: about future wins above, replacement, adly you have them for
Speaker 1: two months three months here in a regular, season and
Speaker 1: then you have him for next. Year so let's say
Speaker 1: he's a let's say a let's say a four wins above.
Speaker 1: Replacement let's, say, like, wow you get a four win
Speaker 1: season out of. Adi, Right let's say ten million dollars
Speaker 1: is worth one wins above replacement is worth ten million,
Speaker 1: Dollars so a four war that's forty and then you
Speaker 1: take this, year so you add a little bit. There
Speaker 1: let's say it's worth you, know forty five. Million, right
Speaker 1: that's on the high End i'm getting on high end
Speaker 1: here based off. Projections. Right so let's say and then
Speaker 1: you combine the money aspect that he's going to be.
Speaker 1: Making what Is adley actually making for next? Year Adley
Speaker 1: adley's making seven point two five, million so he's going
Speaker 1: to get a bump for next. Year so that's a
Speaker 1: right run around what ten million, Probably so you subtract
Speaker 1: the forty million dollar projection ten, millions that's a surplus
Speaker 1: of thirty. Right then you look at, okay so you're
Speaker 1: looking at thirty million for. Reshmen now you look at
Speaker 1: what you just sent Back Anthony. Iinson let's just take
Speaker 1: a look at his FanGraph. Grade they give him a fifty.
Speaker 1: Five so that's usually that's around on, average like a
Speaker 1: two to a two and a half wins above replacement
Speaker 1: picture right in the. Future if you consider on, average,
Speaker 1: right that can obviously vary in Pro, yeah so he
Speaker 1: ends up getting called. Up he starts his clock six
Speaker 1: years two to a two and a half wins above.
Speaker 1: Replacement you're looking at, like let's just say twenty million per.
Speaker 1: Year that could end up being like one hundred to
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty million dollars in value and then
Speaker 1: obviously he's a, prospect so you got to cut that
Speaker 1: way in. Half so you, know cut it in, half
Speaker 1: and then some you, know LET'S i think it's a
Speaker 1: safe bet that he's, anywhere you, know like a thirty.
Speaker 1: FORTY i don't, know maybe even some people out there
Speaker 1: think like. Fifty, right, again you're going you don't know
Speaker 1: at the end of the, day but you're going off scouting.
Speaker 1: Grades so generally guys that are like a fifty, five
Speaker 1: research has shown that it could end up turning into
Speaker 1: around like a two to two and a half wins
Speaker 1: above replacement picture on. Average so again you kind of
Speaker 1: take the wins above. Replacement then you Consider Carlos. Denvas,
Speaker 1: yeah the bat's fallen, off but the great, defense he's
Speaker 1: a guy that could easily give you a half to
Speaker 1: one wins above replacement ten million dollars per, war four more.
Speaker 1: Seasons that's forty million dollars plus the money that he's
Speaker 1: going to end up. Making you subtract, that and then
Speaker 1: you have a. Difference, right that's just two. Players, Now Kyson,
Speaker 1: Witherspoon let's say kays Some witherspoon is like a they
Speaker 1: probably have a high grade for. Him, here they haven't
Speaker 1: been a forty, five let's say because of how he's.
Speaker 1: Pitching let's even just say Forty let's Say Kyson witherspoon
Speaker 1: has a shot at being like a one wins above replacement.
Speaker 1: Picture you, know let's say it gives you that on
Speaker 1: average over six years eventually when he comes. Up, obviously
Speaker 1: prospects cut the, risk you, know take the risk at you,
Speaker 1: know factor in the, risk take that, out and then
Speaker 1: you know you're looking at a guy with at least
Speaker 1: some kind of a. Surplus Right so you, say right, There,
Speaker 1: aronsen he's got something pretty good right, there based off of,
Speaker 1: projection off of his scouting reports and then nervas being
Speaker 1: a high, floor got a you, know being a, catcher
Speaker 1: there's going to be something there with the four years
Speaker 1: of control that he. Has, Witherspoon, yeah he's probably not looking,
Speaker 1: great but you know he's a guy that maybe could you,
Speaker 1: know maybe even be a reliever at some point at
Speaker 1: least you, know that's still worth something over at on
Speaker 1: a cheaper arbitration. Salary, eventually that's worth something over six years,
Speaker 1: then and he has a, car, RIGHT i mean that
Speaker 1: now you factor in another prospect that has really burst
Speaker 1: onto the. Scene he's a fifty grade right. Now so,
Speaker 1: again same. Thing you convert scouting grades into what research has,
Speaker 1: shown where you, know a guy that's a fifty, grade you,
Speaker 1: know good chance he ends up being, like you, know
Speaker 1: maybe like a one and a half to a two war.
Speaker 1: Player let me actually go look fangrafts. Scouting here's the
Speaker 1: article scouting explained the twenty to eighty scouting. Scale so
Speaker 1: if we're looking at this player guide right, here a
Speaker 1: fifty that's an average regular. Hitter so you're, like you,
Speaker 1: know on, average you, know like a two war kind
Speaker 1: of a. Player you. Know so again eventually he comes.
Speaker 1: Up you look at the amount of years that you,
Speaker 1: got six, Years so you see WHAT i, Mean, like
Speaker 1: you're kinda it's just adding it's not just the, players
Speaker 1: but like you got to factor in the the economics behind.
Speaker 1: It you got to factor in the logistics behind. IT
Speaker 1: i don't know if any of them What i'm saying makes.
Speaker 1: Sense i'm sorry If i'm doing a bad job at explaining.
Speaker 1: It but you just got you gotta obviously scout. Prospects
Speaker 1: they you. Are it's not a sure thing by any,
Speaker 1: means but based off of scouting based off of the
Speaker 1: grades that they've been. Given you, know that's all you
Speaker 1: can go off. Of and then you just factor in
Speaker 1: the good numbers that he's had and, yeah you, know
Speaker 1: like that's worth. Something say when you add all that
Speaker 1: together AND i see what you, Say paul and the,
Speaker 1: CHAT i still think aspects or prospects we. DID i
Speaker 1: agree with. YOU i AM i love Getting. Adli i'm
Speaker 1: not saying the trade For adli is. Bad that's, good you,
Speaker 1: yes go get that kind of a. Player i'm more
Speaker 1: saying economically the trade, logistically it's not a good. Trade
Speaker 1: from a value surplus value point of, view getting a
Speaker 1: player Like adli is, awesome AND i love. That i'm
Speaker 1: just focusing on the, numbers, Right and this is good
Speaker 1: while you, know because you can talk about these. Things
Speaker 1: this is where this stuff comes into. Play. Right so
Speaker 1: that's basically WHAT i. Mean, like it's just like you
Speaker 1: look at the scouting, grades you look at the long term,
Speaker 1: projection and just numbers, wise it's just a lot that
Speaker 1: The Red sox are giving. Up i'm more thinking about,
Speaker 1: it not from my, opinion but this is how front offices.
Speaker 1: THINK i don't communicate it as well as they. Could
Speaker 1: but that's pretty much how they think about, things, right you,
Speaker 1: know they're looking at the economics of. IT i hope
Speaker 1: that makes, sense and you absolutely are completely. Right adley
Speaker 1: is an awesome TRADE i love. It that's what. DUDE
Speaker 1: i put out a reaction today THAT i was fired.
Speaker 1: UP i was chugging a gallon of. MILK i was.
Speaker 1: LOVING i loved. It But i'm also gonna give the
Speaker 1: take from the other point of view. Too just BECAUSE
Speaker 1: i like it doesn't mean it's necessarily the best. Economically you,
Speaker 1: know that's but that doesn't that doesn't mean it's. BAD
Speaker 1: i hope that makes. SENSE i Know i'm kind of
Speaker 1: all over the, place BUT i probably had like like
Speaker 1: fifty people leave this stream BECAUSE i just went on
Speaker 1: a long and complicated. Explanation so, anyway that's pretty much
Speaker 1: Where i'm. GOING i LOVE adlei please get this guy signed.
Speaker 1: Up oh my, GOODNESS i forgot to mention that as.
Speaker 1: Well please Get Adley rutchman signed up to an. EXTENSION i,
Speaker 1: mean let's, go let's get this catcher position figured out
Speaker 1: for the next several. Years LIKE i am tired of, thinking, Like,
Speaker 1: okay who's our? Catcher please Get adlie signed. Up that
Speaker 1: would be. AWESOME i would love, that and that would
Speaker 1: make this even. Better absolutely would make it. Better like
Speaker 1: If i'm talking like surplus and stuff like. That, okay,
Speaker 1: well let's get us let's get him locked, in let's
Speaker 1: get him signed. Up you, know could you pay him
Speaker 1: like some kind of like A. J t Row muto
Speaker 1: kind of a, contract maybe a little bit less because
Speaker 1: the numbers have come down a little. BIT i don't,
Speaker 1: know could you do like some like a like a
Speaker 1: four year eighty or like a like five ninety or
Speaker 1: something like. That so, Yeah i'd love to Get adlie signed.
Speaker 1: UP i think he's a great player to have in your.
Speaker 1: ORGANIZE i think he brings so many good. QUALITIES i don't,
Speaker 1: know Like i've just always liked him as a, player you,
Speaker 1: know really, good really. Good but those are my. Thoughts
Speaker 1: those are my. THOUGHTS i know that was a lot
Speaker 1: of that was long, winded And i'm sorry if that
Speaker 1: was a little painful to listen, to and that maybe
Speaker 1: wasn't the easiest to listen. To but just to give
Speaker 1: you a quick, RECAP i love the trade Of Adley.
Speaker 1: RUTCHMAN i think it's a great. Move gives you like
Speaker 1: a guy that just has a winning mentality as, well
Speaker 1: a guy that you, know this was a guy that
Speaker 1: was being looked at as like the face of The orioles,
Speaker 1: franchise you, know, like, yeah you bring In Gunner henderson
Speaker 1: and obviously he comes up and Think Jackson, holiday, Right
Speaker 1: But adley was, always in my, opinion Maybe orioles fans,
Speaker 1: DISAGREE i always looked at him as the guy there
Speaker 1: when you think of The. Orioles, Yeah Gunner, henderson he's,
Speaker 1: Amazing but Like adle to me was like almost like
Speaker 1: like the spokesman of that, team you, know like the
Speaker 1: guy you, know kind of like How Vera tech was
Speaker 1: to The red Sox Ver tech wasn't the best, player
Speaker 1: he Wasn't manny Or David, ortiz but like he was the,
Speaker 1: guy you, know like he just brought that. Leadership that's
Speaker 1: WHAT i see In. ADLEY i think there's a lot
Speaker 1: of that big fan of the. Move, yeah, SURE i
Speaker 1: can sit here AND i can talk about the nonsense
Speaker 1: of you, know talking about the surplus values and blah blah.
Speaker 1: Blah to be, honest like in this, CASE i almost
Speaker 1: kind of LIKE i care about, it but not really
Speaker 1: in a, way because it's a it was a it
Speaker 1: was a lot to, spend BUT i think it was
Speaker 1: worth it in my. OPINION i hope that was the
Speaker 1: easiest way to say. It and Then, MEYER i think
Speaker 1: that's again the trade. Itself, no you also got to
Speaker 1: remember this is like that's kind of my stick as,
Speaker 1: Well like that's kind of what makes me a little
Speaker 1: different with YouTube and. Everything IS i explain like the
Speaker 1: pieces of a trade right to help you to help
Speaker 1: understand where the front offices are coming from a little, bit,
Speaker 1: right because they don't think like we. Do they think
Speaker 1: in completely different. Terms it's not the. Same they are
Speaker 1: on a completely different planet when you go into a front. Office, so, Yeah,
Speaker 1: meyer was the TRADE i think great, Economically, No BUT
Speaker 1: i like the addition Of Eric. MILLER i think that's
Speaker 1: gonna be great to help you win ball games and
Speaker 1: try to win a. CHAMPIONSHIP i think that's Awesome. MEYER
Speaker 1: i think when you factor in, EVERYTHING i think it's
Speaker 1: going to be a better home for him in the.
Speaker 1: End you, know what DO i give The Red sox
Speaker 1: for their trade? Deadline you, know could you have even
Speaker 1: seen them maybe try? TO i don't know what ended up.
Speaker 1: Happening in the, end we were seeing a couple of
Speaker 1: reports that maybe they could, have you, know maybe made
Speaker 1: a last second. MOVE i don't know really. QUICK i
Speaker 1: do want to listen to a couple more things From.
Speaker 1: Craig i'm wondering the bad let's injury and a potential
Speaker 1: timetable for, Return.
Speaker 5: SIR i THINK i missed the beginning of, That, chris just.
Speaker 1: About Ad lea's. Injury where things stand when you guys
Speaker 1: can expect him, back AND i guess to plan for
Speaker 1: him the next few.
Speaker 5: Days, YEAH i talked to. HIM i talked to him earlier,
Speaker 5: today and at this, point LIKE i am not going
Speaker 5: to try to put a timetable on what his return
Speaker 5: might look. LIKE i think it's best for him to
Speaker 5: kind of get under our, care you, know and get our,
Speaker 5: athletics our medical staff or athletic, trainers our doctor's hands on,
Speaker 5: him and from there we'll figure out what the right
Speaker 5: kind of course of action is. Here but you, know
Speaker 5: in talking to, him he's very, optimistic and you, know
Speaker 5: he is saying that he feels quite a bit.
Speaker 1: Better i'm, wondering all, Right SO i THOUGHT i saw
Speaker 1: somewhere that he was getting close to going on a rehab.
Speaker 1: Assignment so obviously going to a new, organization you got
Speaker 1: to kind of work through all, that, Right.
Speaker 8: Greg greg Solo meyer has been obviously a big part
Speaker 8: of this, organization you, know in the future for a long.
Speaker 8: Time so what kind of went into the decision to
Speaker 8: trade him? Today and what do you you, know what
Speaker 8: do you hope to see From eric now that you
Speaker 8: have him on?
Speaker 5: Board, yeah it was it was tough to to include
Speaker 5: him in a, deal and it's it's tough to include
Speaker 5: any of the players that we had sent out because
Speaker 5: we have relationships with, Them we've watched their. Development in
Speaker 5: many cases we've draft them or signed them. Internationally and
Speaker 5: speaking About, marcello you, know he's a really big part
Speaker 5: of this or he was a really big part of this,
Speaker 5: organization and you, know someone that that was looked upon
Speaker 5: to be part of a core AND i still think
Speaker 5: that's going to. Happen it's it's going to happen with
Speaker 5: The San Francisco giants at this. Point but he's an
Speaker 5: incredibly talented, player and you, know what we saw was
Speaker 5: an opportunity to get, uh you, know a back end
Speaker 5: reliever with control who you, know throws from from the
Speaker 5: left side with huge, stuff generates a ton of swings
Speaker 5: and misses and gets a ton of. Strikeouts and you,
Speaker 5: know as you think about a bullpen down the stretch
Speaker 5: and in potentially into into the, postseason the ability to
Speaker 5: to bring guys in who can get swings and misses
Speaker 5: and shorten the game when relievers are available almost every
Speaker 5: night because of the schedule becomes, really really.
Speaker 1: VALUABLE i do really Think Eric, miller and Again i'm
Speaker 1: going to, REITERATE i think the trade, itself like With,
Speaker 1: meyer was, yeah like technically was it an, Overpay, yeah,
Speaker 1: Technically but from just a baseball point of, view like
Speaker 1: when you're looking to win, games like having a guy
Speaker 1: Like Eric miller coming in in like the, seventh maybe
Speaker 1: even the eighth inning in certain, spots you, know, like holy,
Speaker 1: cow that's gonna be amazing to. Have you, know, sure
Speaker 1: he's probably might he might walk the bases loaded a few,
Speaker 1: nights and you might be your heart might be patting
Speaker 1: out of your. Chest but you, know we can get
Speaker 1: out of that because the guy has just got nasty
Speaker 1: stuff and you can get a ton of swing and
Speaker 1: mess and that is so important in the, postseason so,
Speaker 1: important like you need that, like you look at these
Speaker 1: teams that have been obviously The dodgers the last couple of,
Speaker 1: years but going back to the last several teams that
Speaker 1: have good stuff coming out of the, bullpen they tend
Speaker 1: to have some pretty good. SUCCESS i Think miller is
Speaker 1: a really nice addition for this, bullpen and you have
Speaker 1: him for a couple more, years, RIGHT i like that a. Lot,
Speaker 1: Uh i'm not gonna listen to that. One let, me
Speaker 1: let's listen to this.
Speaker 7: One craig on at, LEAs and in regard to his
Speaker 7: ability to receive and work with pitchers and defense defensive,
Speaker 7: metrics how big of a factor was that in acquiring,
Speaker 7: him and given how well the pitching staff had thrown TO. H.
Speaker 7: D wong and our bias the majority of the, season
Speaker 7: was there any concern, about you, know mixing things up
Speaker 7: there and bringing, uh bring him in and why is
Speaker 7: he a guy that you're comfortable?
Speaker 5: With, yeah, anytime anytime you introduce someone into into a
Speaker 5: clubhouse in the middle of a, season you take some.
Speaker 5: Risk BUT i also, think, uh you, know we did
Speaker 5: as much work as we possibly. Could you, know had
Speaker 5: some some overlap in terms of staff who had who
Speaker 5: had Known adlie and and got incredibly high marks for
Speaker 5: the makeup for the leadership or the type of teammate
Speaker 5: and person that he. Is and so you, KNOW i
Speaker 5: think the short answer, is, yes you you certainly think
Speaker 5: about trying to minimize any potential disrupt to the, group
Speaker 5: but also felt like everything that we learned About adley
Speaker 5: pointed us to him being able to step in and
Speaker 5: build relationships with the coaches and the pitching staff and
Speaker 5: settle right into our. Infrastructure.
Speaker 1: YEAH i remember we talked about this a little while, ago, like,
Speaker 1: oh if you go for a, CATTURE i, mean that
Speaker 1: could really mess up the flow of. Things but if
Speaker 1: there is a capture that you can bring in that
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about that too. Much it's
Speaker 1: this is one of them right. Here adley's amazing with
Speaker 1: behind the, plate works well with pitching. Staffs not afraid
Speaker 1: of that at. ALL i think we have here we.
Speaker 1: Go SO i Got Franklin, arias.
Speaker 6: Did you Envision craig That Aria school helped the team
Speaker 6: down the Stretche you.
Speaker 5: KNOW i hate to put those types of expectations on
Speaker 5: a twenty year. Old you, know WHAT i am very
Speaker 5: excited to say is that every challenge that he has,
Speaker 5: faced he's, met which is pretty incredible for someone his,
Speaker 5: age and what he's, done you, know at each. Level you,
Speaker 5: KNOW i just feel like we'll continue to take note
Speaker 5: of what he's, doing will continue to put him in
Speaker 5: the best development environment that we, can and if he
Speaker 5: is the person who can help, us then we'll have
Speaker 5: that conversation when it comes.
Speaker 1: Down, YEAH i, mean it's a pretty small sample At
Speaker 1: TRIPLE a right, now but he's obviously hit a couple
Speaker 1: of home runs. ALREADY i think if we See, arius
Speaker 1: it'll be you, know depending on like how things look
Speaker 1: with story when he comes. BACK i think Maybe. September
Speaker 1: that's that feels like the right spot for, me at
Speaker 1: least in my.
Speaker 6: Head in the outfield and the bullpen and behind the.
Speaker 6: Plate you did not do anything to increase the depth
Speaker 6: in the? Rotation was that a goal that maybe just
Speaker 6: kind of ran out of time? With did you come
Speaker 6: close on something? There and how do you feel about
Speaker 6: how you're situated starting pitching wise and depth wise for
Speaker 6: the final two.
Speaker 5: Months, yeah we had a lot of, conversations you, know
Speaker 5: and certainly we cast a pretty wide. Debt we're mindful
Speaker 5: of the workload that our our starting pitchers are taking,
Speaker 5: on but also feel, like, uh you, know we do
Speaker 5: have some, depth whether that's kind of currently in the
Speaker 5: big leagues and you, know you see the job That
Speaker 5: bo's done pitching out of the pen and also In TRIPLE.
Speaker 5: A and another way to uh lessen the load on
Speaker 5: starting pitchers is to add depth to your bullpen and you,
Speaker 5: know the ability to to shorten games and maybe not
Speaker 5: feel the you, know trays and, bails not feel the
Speaker 5: need to push a starter through an extra inning or
Speaker 5: to get back out there because we can turn the
Speaker 5: ball over to trusted arms in the. Bullpen is another
Speaker 5: way to do.
Speaker 1: It you Mentioned bao. TOO i didn't even think About bayo,
Speaker 1: earlier like being able to have him as a like
Speaker 1: a long. Reliever obviously we just saw a little bit
Speaker 1: ago against The dodgers, great you, know, yeah it wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been nice for them to add someone there for the. Rotation,
Speaker 1: SURE i didn't think they were gonna do. MUCH i
Speaker 1: thought maybe Like Brady singer would have been someone like
Speaker 1: someone that can come in and give you some. Innings
Speaker 1: but you, know you do Have bao where you, know
Speaker 1: if you if you're wondering About bennett's pitch, count you,
Speaker 1: know is. Innings then, yeah you kind of, think, okay,
Speaker 1: well you know we could Have bao scheduled for a few.
Speaker 1: Winnings we can limit you, Know bennett for you, know four,
Speaker 1: innings five innings and, whatever and then you Have bao
