1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Now we do what ever about it? Hello? Hello, Hello, 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: it is a good day everybody. Well it's nighttime right now? 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: What time is it? Even? It's eleven fifty? I mean 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: I have lost complete dragon time. Hello. The Red Sox 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: have signed Alex Bregman. My goodness, I'm still in shock. 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: I'm still processing this. Still a lot of emotions going on, right. 7 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 1: You know, the Red Sox coming into the off season, 8 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: you knew they were gonna start making some moves, but 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: you just wondered how far were they willing to go. 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: You know, the Wan Soto stuff came out of nowhere, 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 1: and you're thinking, Okay, this could be realistic. Could we 12 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 1: actually land the big dog in Juan Soto ended up 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: falling short. He went to the Mets. But then you 14 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: make the Garrett Crochet trade. Then you go out there 15 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: get Walker Bueller. You start making some respectable signings, right, 16 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: you know, all roll this chatman coming in to beef 17 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: up the bullpen, justin Wilson. But you felt like they 18 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: were still lacking something. You knew they needed one more guy, 19 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: and you knew they needed a right handed bat. Right 20 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: you know, there were some other right handed bats on 21 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: the market. You had Taoscar Hernandez out there. Willia Domas 22 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: was out there as an option at one point, and 23 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: then the market started dwindling, and you're thinking, Okay, who 24 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: is this right handed back gonna be? Alex Bregman is 25 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: still sitting there. Has the Alex Cora connection. Cora was 26 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: raving about Alex Bregman at the winter meetings. There was 27 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: a clear connection there. He's always hit well at Famway Park, 28 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: perfect ballpark for him, and he's still just sitting there. 29 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: And then you think back to the last five years 30 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: or so. You lost out to Zach Eflin, you lost 31 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: out to Seth Lugo, to two small market teams, might 32 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: I add, and you're starting to think like, okay, are 33 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: the Red Sox actually gonna pony up the money for 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: mister Alex Bregman. When the Detroit Tigers were involved, and 35 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: supposedly they made a big offer according to John Hayman, 36 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: I guess over one hundred and seventy million bucks. That 37 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: caught me by surprise. I was thinking maybe the Blue 38 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: Jays were a team that made a pretty good offer. 39 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: In the end, you have the Tigers there. The Cubs 40 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: came in late. You know, they were trying to figure 41 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: out some kind of a creative deal. You know, like 42 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: I said, the Blue Jays, maybe they return to Houston, 43 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: But you're still thinking Alex Bregman, he's perfect for Femway Park. 44 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: If you're gonna do a short deal with opt outs, 45 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: why not Femway Park because that's a place where he's 46 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: always hit well in his career. You could juice up 47 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: his numbers for a whole year and then if you 48 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: want to go back out into the market again next year. 49 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: I mean, to me, the Red Sox were the perfect 50 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: landing spot. But the only question was would they spend 51 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: the money to get it done. That was the only thing, 52 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: and go back. Like I said, Zach Efflin, Seth Lugo, 53 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: you didn't know they were gonna do that, and they did. 54 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: They got the monkey off their back with this. You know, sure, 55 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: it's not a long term deal. You know, it's not 56 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: a Wan Soto deal by any means, but this is 57 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: a lot of money. We're gonna break this down everyone. 58 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: We are here tonight brought to you by the Foul 59 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: Territory Network.

It really helps us out. 66 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: But let's dive into this, shall we. There is a 67 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: lot to talk about here. We're gonna talk about the contract. 68 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about you know, the impact he brings 69 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: to the lineup. You know, where's he gonna play right? 70 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: You know we've been talking about second base, but could 71 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: there be another option out there. We're gonna break this down. 72 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: Let's get to it here. So here we go. Look 73 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: at that, Look at it, Look at look at this. 74 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: If you're with us live on YouTube, look at Alex 75 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: Bregman in that Red Sox jersey. Look at that jersey swap. Ah, 76 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: it's beautiful. It's beautiful. Oh oh, it's great. But here 77 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: we go. The one to break it, I believe was 78 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: Chandler rum. Now, if we were to go here, he 79 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: said here Alex Bregman's contract with the Red Sox is 80 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: for three years and one hundred twenty million dollars, sources 81 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: tell the athletic. That is a pretty hefty penny right there, 82 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. That is it took me in my head. 83 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: I think at first I thought I thought I saw 84 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: four one twenty, so I was thinking thirty million in 85 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: my head. But then I looked a little closer and 86 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, oh, that's forty million per year, and 87 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: that made me think, Wow, the Red Sox, they really 88 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: really stepped up there in the end. They got aggressive 89 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: in the end. I'm waiting to hear the fallout of this. 90 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: I'm waiting to hear the fly on the wall stuff here, 91 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: unless there's already some stuff out there that I've completely missed. 92 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: But I want to know what this whole process was like. 93 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: Was this a late charge from the Red Sox, Like 94 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: did they come in hot at the end and get 95 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: the deal done? John Henn putting out his wife putting 96 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: out a picture of that man smoking a cigar. That's amazing, 97 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: that's amazing. We needed the old John Henry, we needed that. 98 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: They needed that, and he stepped up and they got 99 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: it done. But again, I am waiting to see how 100 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: this ended up coming together. I'm very interested, you know, 101 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: was this something the Red Sox. You know, were they 102 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: in this ballpark the entire time or did they just 103 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: make a phone call and say, all right, you know what, 104 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: we're done with this. We're done playing the games forty 105 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: million per year, opt out after each season, take it 106 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: or leave it, or we're going after Aeronato. Funny thing, 107 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: I guess if you really think about it, did they 108 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: use the Aeronato trade talks as leverage this entire time? 109 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: Kind of seems like it now or was that a 110 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: realistic possibility, you know, was that something that could have 111 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: had happened? It felt like it. You were starting to 112 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: hear Aeronauto all over the place, you know, everywhere. Everyone 113 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: was talking about it because you're thinking, are the Red 114 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: Sox going to spend the money? And in the end 115 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: they did, you know, and you know, Aeronaudo sure would 116 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: have been nice. I would have liked the defense at 117 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: third base. I would have liked to see what the 118 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: bat could do at Fmway Park. I think you would 119 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: have seen a revitalized Aeronauto at Fmway. But either way, 120 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: I would have been completely okay with him. I feel 121 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: a lot better about this one though. This is what 122 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: I wanted from the start, you know, going back, you know, 123 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: early on in the off season, I would have been 124 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: okay with say Oscar Hernandez. I would have been okay 125 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: with Willia Domas. But you know, one thing to bring 126 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: up with those guys is while I would have liked 127 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: those additions, the Red Sox really needed to work on 128 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: the strikeouts. They were a high strikeout team this past year. 129 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: That's one benefit Alex Bregman is going to bring to 130 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: this lineup. And that's just one of many benefits here. Now, 131 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: if we're going to really break this down, this is 132 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: a big impact here. This is there's a lot coming 133 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: to the table here that I think people don't even realize, 134 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: like how much he is bringing to the table. First off, 135 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: right handed bat, That's what the Red Sox needed. They 136 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: needed balance in this lineup, right. You had too many lefties. 137 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: There's lefties all over the place. You needed an every 138 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: day right handed bat. No, not Randall Grickschik, No, not 139 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: Justin Turner. I love my Jinger brother, I missed that man, 140 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: but that's not the bat you needed, right You needed 141 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: it an every day right handed bat to balance out 142 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: this lineup. And Craig, he's been telling us that from 143 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: the get go. He's been saying that for a while. 144 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: He was just saying that what yesterday saying yeah, we're 145 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: engaged trying to find, you know, an impact right handed bat. 146 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: A lot of people were thinking, this guy's full of bs, 147 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: this guy's you know, he's just missed word salad, you know. 148 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: But in the end, Craig was telling you right to 149 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: your face that they were working on it, and he 150 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: got it done. So I think there needs to be 151 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: a little bit more faith with Craig Breslo moving forward. 152 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: He got the big trade done this offseason, and he 153 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: got the big signing done. It was a buzzer beater signing, 154 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: but he got the deal done. So Bregman strikeouts, that's 155 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: going to help out. But where Bregman is really going 156 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: to bring the impact is how good that bat plays 157 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: at Femway Park. If you're looking for a bat that 158 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: fits perfectly at Fenway Park, it belongs to Alex Bregman. 159 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying he's gonna be Manny Ramirez by 160 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: any means, but when you look at the batt ball 161 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: Max Strickx, you know, pretty middle of the road last year, right, 162 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: you know, in Houston he had the Crawford boxes fitting there. 163 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: So you know that a lot of people were thinking, well, 164 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: is Camerica going to be a good fit for him? 165 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: Will Wrigley Field be a good fit for him? But 166 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: you look at Femway Park and you go to the 167 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: park factor for right handed hitters, they were very good 168 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: when it came to park factor. Right I think they 169 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: were third overall when it came to right handed bats. 170 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: You have the Green Monster there. He's a guy that 171 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: is going to be a pole hitter. He's always been 172 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,599 Speaker 1: a pole hitter, but he is He's definitely going to 173 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: use that to his advantage. At Fenway Park, I was 174 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: getting at least thirty doubles, maybe he even approaches forty. 175 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: I could see a twenty five home run guy from Bregman. 176 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: The bat is going to bring a lot of impact. 177 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: He has always hit well at Fenway Park over a 178 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: twelve hundred career ops at Fenway Park in his career. 179 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: There's no question this is a great fit. Now, Like 180 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: I said, I would have liked to have seen what 181 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: Aeronado could have done. I was thinking that was going 182 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: to be the more realistic option because I was thinking 183 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: in my head the Red Sox didn't wanted to spend 184 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: the money. They would have gone for the cheaper route 185 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: with Aeronata. But this is definitely the better option, right, 186 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,359 Speaker 1: You getting a guy that's a few years younger than Aeronato. 187 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: This is just so much better across the board is 188 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: so much better now. Where Bregman is also going to 189 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: impact the Red Sox is the defense. Defensively, he has 190 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: always been very good right third base. You got to 191 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: remember with Bregman coming up, coming up with the Astros, 192 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: Cora was the one, you know, he talked about this 193 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: when he came on the show and he said, Hey, Bregman, 194 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: this is a guy that we needed at third base 195 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: at the time, right, because you already had kra you 196 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: had two v They had to move Bregman out of necessity. 197 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: You gotta remember, Bregman was a short stop coming up 198 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: at LSU. God's a great shortstop. He is gonna be 199 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: perfectly fine if second base is his home moving forward. 200 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: U Core has even talked about this. He says he 201 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: sees Bregman as a guy that's a perfect middle infielder, right, 202 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: perfect guy for second base. Right. So let's see if 203 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: this is the route they end up going we'll talk 204 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: about third basing just a second, but if he ends 205 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: up playing second base, he's gonna be some good defense 206 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: over there. The Red Sox really needed improvement with that, 207 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: especially if Trevor's story is back for a full year. 208 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: I mean, my good. If you factor that in as well, 209 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: the defense is going to improve so much in the 210 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: middle infield. I can't tell you enough how important middle 211 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: infield defense is. You need to have that spine of 212 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: the field strong. You need good defense in the middle, 213 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: end field, catchure, you need to be good there, center field, 214 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: you need to be good there. They're doing pretty good 215 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: overall when it comes to the spine of the field. 216 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: Now it's gonna be interesting with Raffael Devers. Now, the 217 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: big talking point with Aeronato was RAFFI would move off, 218 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: probably go to DH. If they ended up moving Cossas, 219 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: who was hot on the trade block at one point, 220 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: maybe they could have him play first base. Obviously that's 221 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: not gonna happen now. But when it comes to Raffia third, 222 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: could you still see a scenario where Bregman ends up 223 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: playing third base. I think it's possible now. I thought 224 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: about it because I'm seeing people talk about it, and 225 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: I think in the end what's gonna end up happening 226 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: is he ends up playing a little bit of third 227 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: base here and there, right to give Raffia a day 228 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: off or whatever, you know, whatever they do there, right, 229 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: however they shuffle the lineup, I think Bregman will play 230 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: a little third base here and there. I could see 231 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: him playing like, I don't know, ten twenty games, you know, 232 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: maybe thirty. I could see something like that. However, another 233 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: wrinkle in this is what's gonna happen with Christian Campbell. 234 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: If Christian Campbell checks off all the boxes in spring right, 235 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: it's not just about the numbers, It's about the It's 236 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: about the little things, right. It's the swing decisions, the 237 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: quality of contact, right, the plate discipline. You know, there's 238 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: a lot of factors that they're gonna be looking at 239 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: when it comes to Christian Campbell because they are not 240 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: going to rush this guy. I'm gonna tell you that 241 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: right now. They are not gonna rush Christian Campbell, especially 242 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: now that they have Bregman in the fold. However, if 243 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: Campbell balls out in spring training and this guy is 244 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: just checking off all the boxes and he's looking great, 245 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: there could be a conversation where Christian Campbell could be 246 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: at second base, Raffi moves off a third, Bregman goes 247 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: the third, and then what happens with the Yoshida That 248 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: is something to consider right now. I'd say, the way 249 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: you see the lineup here with Bregman at second, Raffia third, 250 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: I think that's what it's gonna be right now. But 251 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: look out, look out for a possible conversation. If Campbell's ready, 252 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: there could be something there. We'll just have to wait 253 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: and see as spring training unfolds. Full squad workouts haven't 254 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: even happened yet, so let's wait and see another impact. 255 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman brings to the fold with the Red Sox, 256 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: and honestly, you know, yeah, I love the bat. Sure 257 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna improve the defense. I love all that, but 258 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: I would actually argue what I love the most is 259 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: what he brings to the team as a competitor, as 260 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: a person, and what he's gonna bring in terms of 261 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: competitive attitude. Right, Alex Bregman coming up, This is a 262 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: guy where you know his parents I believe we're in 263 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: the uh you know, I believe they were attorneys or whatever. 264 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: You know, He's always been in a competitive environment, right, 265 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: you know, growing up as a kid. Then he goes 266 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: to LSU obviously a big program there in college. Guy 267 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: that was just built to win, right, comes up with 268 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: the Astros. Guys just winning left and right. You know whatever, 269 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: Say what you will about the trash cans. I don't 270 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: want to talk about it. That's a whole different conversation. Whatever. 271 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: But still the Astros, they won a lot of games, 272 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: you know, one another World Series in twenty twenty two. 273 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: This guy's a winner. And that's what the Red Sox needed. 274 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: They needed a guy like this. They didn't need someone loud, 275 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: they didn't need someone boys Terriss, but they needed a 276 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: guy that has swagger and they needed a guy that 277 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: knows how to win. They needed, in my opinion, something 278 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: close to Dustin Badroya. And that's the closest thing you're 279 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: going to get to Bedrooya. I will always love Patroya 280 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: obviously for what he did on the field, but what 281 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: he just brought to the team in terms of his 282 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: competitive nature, his leadership, the fire that he brought to 283 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: the team. Bregman is gonna give you a lot of that. 284 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: He's gonna give you that chip on his shoulder. This 285 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: is a guy that wants to win. He's gonna be 286 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: great for this clubhouse. I can't even say it enough. 287 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: And they need that. You know, the Red Sox, You know, Suirre, 288 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: they got some veterans here, but you got a lot 289 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: of young guys as well. You know sure Trevor's story. 290 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: He's a veteran as well, but you know story over 291 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, he's been trying to figure 292 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: himself out when it comes to the injuries. Right, Bregman, 293 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: I think this is a guy that you can count 294 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: on when it comes to being on the field, and 295 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna bring that competitive edge to him. Right, He's 296 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: gonna keep guys in line. He's gonna want the best 297 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: out of these guys. Right, had a lot of success 298 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: in Houston. He's gonna bring that over here to Boston. 299 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: Right obviously has a good relationship with Alex Corr already. 300 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: He brings so much, not just as a player, but 301 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: as a person. And I think that's exactly what the 302 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: Red Sox need. They needed someone like this in the clubhouse. 303 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: They needed a voice in the clubhouse, a guy that 304 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: will also not just have a voice, but lead by 305 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: example as well. This is what they need now. Yeah, 306 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: RAFFI obviously this guy. The guy's phenomenal. Right, Trevor Story 307 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: love Trevor story Right. I think he brings a lot 308 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: of good things as a guy in the clubhouse. But 309 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: you needed a guy like Bregman who's been there, done 310 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: that knows how to wing championships, knows you know, talk 311 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: with these guys in the clubhouse, even just a conversation 312 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: about just hitting right philosophy, right strategy. You know, Bregman 313 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: is a dude, and he's gonna be awesome for this team. 314 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: I can't stress enough how important that's gonna be. This 315 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: is such a great signing. It's so good. Now, if 316 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: you want to, you know, let's talk about the contract, right, 317 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: three years, one twenty. Yeah, that's pricey, that's pricey. You know. 318 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: I was talking about it saying, hey, I'm glad the 319 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: Red Sox they just stepped up and got it done. 320 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: I yes, I see the forty million dollars per year. 321 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: That's a lot of money. However, this is what you 322 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: need to do to get the deal done. This is 323 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: what the Red Sox have been lacking. You had, Like 324 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: I said earlier, you had all these teams involved, you 325 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: needed to make a move like this. You needed to 326 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: slap down an offer that this man could not refuse. 327 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: Great move from a front office point of view, because 328 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: you have to. You have to get aggressive if you 329 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: want your guy just like the dog. You know. Here's 330 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: another thing too. I want to point this out because 331 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: I'm seeing people say, oh, this is this is too 332 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: much money. Forty million dollars per year. This is the 333 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: same amount of money that Aaron Judge is making per year. 334 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: Well that's completely different. But those same people are the 335 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: ones that are, you know, looking at what the Dodgers 336 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: are doing this offseason, and they're praising the Dodgers. You know, 337 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: all this money they're shelling out for Blake Snell, you 338 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: know taoscar you know all these guys. They're praising these guys. 339 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: They're praising what the Dodgers are doing. But then I 340 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: see these same people that they're hating on this. It's like, well, 341 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: what can we are we just never gonna be happy? 342 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: Is that just? Is that just a thing? I don't know. 343 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: I'm glad they did this. Yeah, that's a lot of money, 344 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: but it's a three year deal. Opt outs after twenty 345 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: twenty five and twenty twenty six. But it's a three 346 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: year deal. This is great. This is such a win 347 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: in every single way possible. I can't even stress how 348 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: amazing this entire situation is. And there's gonna be money 349 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: deferred according to reports, so you know like it. It's 350 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: it's such a win. I can't even say it enough. 351 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: How much of a win this is. Now, let's talk 352 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: about the red Size in league. Things just got interesting. 353 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: Things got interesting all of a sudden, the Red Sox 354 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: in the major leagues. They now have the seventh best 355 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: projected record on fangrafts, where they are usually pretty conservative. 356 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: They got them at eighty five and seventy seven. They 357 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: got the Yankees at eighty seven and seventy five. All 358 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: of a sudden, ladies and gentlemen, the American League East 359 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: just got interesting. I think the Red Sox are absolutely 360 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: gonna be contenders for this division. Absolutely. You know, they 361 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: were a team that you were looking at before Bregman. 362 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: You're thinking, Okay, they have a good shot at a 363 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: wild card, right, they could probably get the third, maybe 364 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: they could get the second, could they get the first? Well, 365 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. You got teams like Baltimore there. You know, 366 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: whatever happens with the Yankees and Baltimore with the East, 367 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: the other one, you know, is probably gonna get that 368 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: first wildcard right of some other strong contenders in the 369 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: American League as well. All Right, so you're thinking, okay, 370 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: the Red Sox, they have a shot at one of 371 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: the wildcard spots, probably two or three. But now, all 372 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you had a guy like Bregman who 373 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: is a four win player, wins four wins a bu 374 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,719 Speaker 1: replacement on fangrafts over the last few years, and I 375 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: expect him to keep doing that for the next couple 376 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: of years. He just brings so much in terms of 377 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: just a balanced profile offensively and defensively. He just made 378 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: your team that much better. And all of a sudden, 379 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox are a bona fide division contender. 380 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: This is what Sam Kennedy talked about. This is what 381 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: he was saying. They did it, Sam Kennedy told you. 382 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: And that's another thing, you know, I said, we got 383 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: to have a bit more faith in Craig now moving forward. 384 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: But now let's start having a little bit more faith 385 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: in Sam Kennedy. Because those words just got back to 386 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: what he said at the beginning of the offseason. He said, 387 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: we will go. If it takes going over the CBT, 388 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: then so be it to go after the division. They 389 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: just did that. The Red Sox just went over the CBT, 390 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: which sounds kind of mind boggling the way they've been 391 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: going about the payroll over the last few years. The 392 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: Red Sox now have a payroll on Fangrafts. It's at 393 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: two forty nine point seven million, probably on the Red 394 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: Sox payroll account on Twitter, he probably has it. It's 395 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: probably a little higher than this, probably around twos and 396 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: fifty five million. They just backed up their words, and 397 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the feelings are so good with 398 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,959 Speaker 1: the Red Sox, and I think the Yankees they just 399 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: got a they saw this, and I think the Yankees 400 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden think, okay, all right, here we go, 401 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: Red Soize, Yankees, We're back. Baby. It's gonna get juicy 402 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: this season. This is a great move, you know, And 403 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm not just saying, you know, trying to sound like 404 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: a biased Red Sox fan. I think it's as a 405 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: baseball fan, this is a great move should be widely praised. 406 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: I can't say enough how great this is. There's so 407 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: many good things. I'm very excited about the Red Sox 408 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: moving forward here. I was excited about them before this, 409 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: you know, I was waiting to see, you know, kind 410 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: of how this team could go. But I saw some 411 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: good things, a lot of good things. But now that 412 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: you do this, all of a sudden, my excitement went 413 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: from like a seven, I'd say a seven out of ten, 414 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: eight out of ten, ten out of ten, Like, this 415 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: is what we've been waiting for. A well rounded team, 416 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: good veterans, lots of potential with the young guys. We've 417 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: got some pitching. Now, we have an ace in Garrett Crochet, 418 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: a bullpen that's been beefed up. I do wonder if 419 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: there could be another move for the bullpen. I know 420 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: that might be asking for a lot right now, considering 421 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: obviously just spent the big money here, but I do 422 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: wonder if a bullpen move could be on the horizon. 423 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: Maybe that could be a deadline kind of a thing. 424 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: That's another interesting thing to think about now, because the 425 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: Red Sox, they have put themselves into a position to 426 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: compete for this division. What are things going to look 427 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: like at the trade deadline. They're gonna. I would imagine 428 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna be right in the thick of things for 429 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: the division. I could see the Red Sox maybe going 430 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: after you know, a pretty solid name out there. Now 431 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: they've beefed up this farm system a bit over the 432 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: or not a bit a lot over the last few years. 433 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: Could they make a big splash of the deadline, you know, 434 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: if the bullpen, if they're having maybe you know, I 435 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: could see the bullpen being a slight question mark here 436 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: because you don't know how Hansricks is going to be Chatman. 437 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: I don't really see as a closer Slayton. Can he 438 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: replicate replicate what he did this past year. I don't know, 439 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: right Whitlock's coming back or you got Folmer coming back. 440 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: You got some guys, you know. But I wonder if 441 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: this bullpen could end up being an area that they 442 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: take a look at at the deadline. If Ryan Helsley's 443 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: still out there, could that be a possibility. Maybe who knows, 444 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: Maybe they have some injuries in the rotation, you know, Yeah, 445 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: the rotation is looking a lot better, but maybe some 446 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: guys go down. You never know how things are gonna unfold. 447 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: Could they go after a guy maybe like Sandy All Kintara, 448 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We'll see. But the Red 449 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: Sox all of a sudden, just like that, got that 450 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: much more exciting. There's so many things to think about 451 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 1: right now. I'm still processing this in my head. Let's 452 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: go to the super chats here. Scott Braun is in 453 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: the house. Thank you for the support, my friend.

I think we had another one. 462 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: I love the name here, stressed out Red Sox fan 463 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: two dollars. If Laddie doesn't get extended, is Boston going 464 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: after him? That is a good question. I think that's 465 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: pretty interesting. I wasn't even thinking about that. I don't know. 466 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,479 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd have to think about it now 467 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: They got the opt out. You know, that's another thing. 468 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: You know, who knows that? I don't know. Man for Bregman, 469 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: I mean, the only way I could see him opting 470 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: out because maybe he wants to get a bit more 471 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: long term set here. Forty million bucks. I mean, that's 472 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: a lot of mullah that you'd be leaving on the 473 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: table if you opt out. But I could see the 474 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: opt out for wanting that longer deal, you know, kind 475 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: of like what Matt Chapman did. I could see it. 476 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: So who knows if he ends up opting out, you know, 477 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you got forty million 478 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: dollars coming off the books. Maybe we'll see. But uh, 479 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, Vlad, I mean, Vlad's bad at Famway Park. 480 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean, crying out loud if you're looking for the 481 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: next Manny at Famway Park, and we'll look no further 482 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: than Vland Junior. I think it's I mean, I I'm 483 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,719 Speaker 1: gonna give you the boring answer, but I wait and see. 484 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you got to see how this plays out. 485 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: But right now, I'm gonna process what we got right now. 486 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: You know, hey, Vlad Junior, if that ends up happening 487 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: down the road, then Okay, Well we'll cross that bridge 488 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: when the time is right. Right now, I'm too excited 489 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: about this. This is great, so many emotions right now. 490 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: I'm going to be falling asleep a happy man, and 491 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be waking up saying to myself we have 492 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman and we could actually make some noise in 493 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: this division this year.
