Speaker 1: Welcome to Boss the territory, ladies and gentlemen. Red Sox
Speaker 1: lose unfortunately final score four to three. Record at fifty
Speaker 1: five and fifty one. Today, I would say is uh,
Speaker 1: this has been probably one of the worst days in
Speaker 1: a while if you're a Red Sox fan. We had
Speaker 1: the terrible news of Curtis Mead today, two abs into
Speaker 1: his Red Sox career and he fractures his wrist or
Speaker 1: going on the IL with a wrist fracture. Return indefinite.
Speaker 1: Who knows how long that's gonna take, but yeah, when
Speaker 1: you got a broken risk, that's gonna take you a
Speaker 1: little while. He had the same injury back in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three. Believe that took him around sixty days to
Speaker 1: get back. So if that were a similar timetable, you're
Speaker 1: probably looking like right at the end of the season,
Speaker 1: beginning of the postseason. Of course you got to make
Speaker 1: it there first. But obviously awful news with that here today.
Speaker 1: I've already touched on that a little bit here. Chris
Speaker 1: Katillo joined the show for about ten minutes earlier today.
Speaker 1: If you want to go see that, go listen about that.
Speaker 1: That is available to you. It's in the video section
Speaker 1: here on this channel. It was not a live it
Speaker 1: was just a regular video. So yeah, we talked about
Speaker 1: it there. We talked about possible plans for the trade
Speaker 1: deadline coming up, so again listen to Chris Katillo's thoughts
Speaker 1: on that. But yeah, I'm just touching on it real quick.
Speaker 1: It's obviously terrible. I mean, how unlucky can you get?
Speaker 1: You know, how unlucky can you get? It's very unfortunate.
Speaker 1: But what do the Red Sox do from here? Again,
Speaker 1: did talk about it with Chris Katillo. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you some of my thoughts here tonight. We're also going
Speaker 1: to try and get through this a little quicker here tonight.
Speaker 1: It's very late. I'm very tired. I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: running on fumes right now, but I'm getting that adrenaline.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it. We'll go over this game here
Speaker 1: very quick. You had a good pitching matchup coming into today,
Speaker 1: Gay Jump. Sure, he's been struggling as of late, but
Speaker 1: a very talented young lefty in the game. And you
Speaker 1: saw that first hand here tonight, going up against another
Speaker 1: very talented young lefty in the game, Jake Bennett, who
Speaker 1: we've had the pleasure of watching. And he did great
Speaker 1: here tonight. Pretty much one bad pitch for him here
Speaker 1: tonight in the seventh inning, Brian servhim with a home run.
Speaker 1: Did him in the Red Sox had a chance there
Speaker 1: in the ninth Connor Wong he was due for a
Speaker 1: long dong. He actually he got one, and hey, you
Speaker 1: know what if if you feel like you're struggling for
Speaker 1: a home run, go to Sacramento and try to get one.
Speaker 1: And he did there tonight. Hey, you brought the Red
Speaker 1: Sox within a run. Unfortunately close but no cigar, but
Speaker 1: gay jump. Hey, tip of the cap to him tonight
Speaker 1: he did very well. But Bennett, he did have a
Speaker 1: good night. Lots of pitching to contact as usual as
Speaker 1: we've seen with him. The villa was actually up a
Speaker 1: little bit here tonight, feeling pretty good. He was throwing
Speaker 1: strikes getting weak contact. If you were to maybe look
Speaker 1: at it from an analytical point of view, you know,
Speaker 1: I know, we all we love looking at the analytics, right,
Speaker 1: but couldn't you have maybe argued after six innings his
Speaker 1: picture count was on the lower side. I'm all four
Speaker 1: guys trying to go deeper into the game. But if
Speaker 1: you were to have an analytical look at it. Couldn't
Speaker 1: you have maybe taken him out there instead of having
Speaker 1: him go up against Boltay for a third time. Who
Speaker 1: was really seeing him well tonight, And you know, he
Speaker 1: got it started there in the seventh, you know, and
Speaker 1: that ended up leading the home run. So, you know, bullpen,
Speaker 1: they did use a bit of it last night. Again,
Speaker 1: I think it was okay leaving Bennett in. He was
Speaker 1: the pitch count was low, but you know, you kind
Speaker 1: of wonder if you maybe could have gone a different
Speaker 1: route there to start the seventh inning. It is what
Speaker 1: it is, But yeah, a couple of guys were really
Speaker 1: getting to Bennett here tonight. Boltay White again serve him
Speaker 1: with the home run, but then Jump, you know, you
Speaker 1: couldn't really get anything going against him. You know, in
Speaker 1: the first you were moving a little bit against him,
Speaker 1: but we weren't able to capitalize. He ended up settling
Speaker 1: in gauge. Jump is nasty. He really struggled the last
Speaker 1: few starts, last four or five starts coming in. But
Speaker 1: this is a guy you saw at firsthand here tonight.
Speaker 1: Very good deception. He's got a bit of like a
Speaker 1: short arm motion. He hides the ball really well. So
Speaker 1: he's very tough to pick up. He's got good life
Speaker 1: on his fastball, not a lot of extension, but he
Speaker 1: just gets some good carry on it. He's got a
Speaker 1: good slider. He was getting a ton of swing and
Speaker 1: miss here tonight. When he has his control. He did
Speaker 1: walk a few guys here tonight. But when he's got
Speaker 1: the control right, he's very tough to pick up. And again,
Speaker 1: you saw that here tonight. So we'll go over it.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Jake Bennett, we'll talk about the lack
Speaker 1: of offense, we'll talk about that late run, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk about some trade news for this one. If you
Speaker 1: count everybody, it is late. So all I ask just
Speaker 1: hit that like button for me. It really helps out
Speaker 1: with the algorithm. We got members here, Paul Roberts, what's
Speaker 1: going on? How we do it? Don't do it? Is here?
Speaker 1: How we doing buttered sausages? Here? How you doing? Hello? Hello?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody? What's going on? Let's move on,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, here we go. Let's get to you know,
Speaker 1: let's start off with the offense here. I mean, like
Speaker 1: I said, here, like I said, just you just had
Speaker 1: a really tough time. Really give me one second here
Speaker 1: making sure we're all set, all right, okay, but yeah,
Speaker 1: you just had a really tough time against gay Jump
Speaker 1: here tonight. First inning, Jami Jones with the double, Wilson
Speaker 1: with walk. See you had something going, but then row
Speaker 1: me with a ground out, row me, you know, not
Speaker 1: an amazing night for Romei here tonight. We'll get to
Speaker 1: another unfortunate event later in the game, but row me
Speaker 1: with a groundout, and then will you're with a double play.
Speaker 1: Second inning. You know, Durbin had a base hit, he
Speaker 1: stole second to get in a score position. But Seti's
Speaker 1: striking out swinging. Moda did have a walk, but then
Speaker 1: Duran ner Bias striking out. Third and the fourth inning,
Speaker 1: all six batters get sat down. Fifth inning, Duran with
Speaker 1: a bass hit, but then he gets picked off. Monasterio
Speaker 1: Jones striking out six inning. Romey Wilson's striking out Jump
Speaker 1: was just very effective here tonight. He walked a few
Speaker 1: guys six innings, three hits, four walks, but he had
Speaker 1: seven strikeouts. He was doing really well here tonight. He
Speaker 1: was doing really well. And then seventh thinning, Medina came
Speaker 1: in from the bullpen, said he had a base hit
Speaker 1: Durban with a sack bunt, moves Seti over to second base,
Speaker 1: but nothing after that. We'll get back to the eighth
Speaker 1: and the ninth in just a second. But let's talk
Speaker 1: about Jake Bennett. You know again, like I said, you know,
Speaker 1: it was kind of more of the same for Bette.
Speaker 1: You know, he's as simple as they come. He had
Speaker 1: a one two three first inning. Second inning, you know,
Speaker 1: White had the bass hit Thomas with a sack bunt,
Speaker 1: moves him over to second base. Boltay with the RBI
Speaker 1: bass hit absolutely hammered at one hundred twelve miles an
Speaker 1: hour off the bat to center field. Made it one
Speaker 1: nothing in the third and the fourth inning, he went
Speaker 1: on a set down the next six of the next
Speaker 1: seven batters. Fifth inning, he worked around a Boltay base
Speaker 1: hit in a steal. He struck out Servant on a
Speaker 1: fastball up and in. Again. You know, that's what we've
Speaker 1: seen with Bennett. He works up with the fastballs, he
Speaker 1: works low with the change ups, very simple. He mixes
Speaker 1: in some breaking pictures here and there. So he was
Speaker 1: looking really good. Here six inning, he strikes out Kurtz
Speaker 1: on a fastball up and away. It did get challenged.
Speaker 1: He won the challenge, struck out soda straw on a
Speaker 1: very nice change up. So he looked good here through six.
Speaker 1: But then again, you know, could you have gone a
Speaker 1: different route maybe for the seventh inning. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: okay with Bennett going on for the seventh, but Boltay
Speaker 1: gets on again, who had been a tough ab for
Speaker 1: Bennett here tonight, and then serve him with a home
Speaker 1: run makes a nothing and uh, he sat on it.
Speaker 1: And this is one of those where the simplicity can
Speaker 1: come back to bite you. But this is what has
Speaker 1: made Bennett so effective because he he executes even though
Speaker 1: yeah he's going fastball up, change up down, he locates
Speaker 1: really well, all right, he executes his pitches very well.
Speaker 1: Here the fastball just wasn't up enough. But then it
Speaker 1: was also you know again the sequence he goes, change
Speaker 1: up down, fastball up, change up down, and then the
Speaker 1: four seamer just not up enough. So you gotta be
Speaker 1: able to execute those pitches when you have such a
Speaker 1: simple approach, and serve him just sat on it, sat
Speaker 1: on it. But in the end, Jake Bennett, I feel
Speaker 1: like had himself a good night enough to win the
Speaker 1: game here tonight six and a third, six hits, three earned,
Speaker 1: four strikeouts, two walks. Like the usual, he saw a
Speaker 1: lot of four seamers, saw a lot of change ups,
Speaker 1: saw some sinkers. I do you know, I do kind
Speaker 1: of want Bennett to start working in a few more
Speaker 1: breaking picks. He'll work in like a few of them,
Speaker 1: you know, he'll mix in the cutters and the sinkers.
Speaker 1: But I would like to see some breaking pictures just
Speaker 1: to you know, just to you know, get a little
Speaker 1: bit more variety, right, listen, I love me a fastball changeup, combo.
Speaker 1: I like, I like working in some different looks on
Speaker 1: the fastball. But if you can get some breaking pictures going,
Speaker 1: I think that that'll just make him even better. Right,
Speaker 1: he's been so good. But getting back to the offense here,
Speaker 1: getting back to the offense. Now, you had something cooking
Speaker 1: here in the eighth inning mass with the bass hit
Speaker 1: Segler with a walk, but then romy with double play.
Speaker 1: You know it's that completely just ruined that momentum. Just
Speaker 1: uh yeah, that was a momentum killer right there. Romie
Speaker 1: not having a good night. But then you keep it
Speaker 1: going here Wilson with a walk. Will you're with the
Speaker 1: base hit. It makes it three to one off the lefty.
Speaker 1: But then Seti's striking out. Not a good night for Seti.
Speaker 1: Ninth inning, Durbhom with a strikeout out. But then Duram
Speaker 1: with the bass hit Monasterio with a k and here
Speaker 1: comes mister Connor Wong let off with a single.
Speaker 2: And now Wong rockets one left field to the wall
Speaker 2: and Dine the Red Socks are within a run on
Speaker 2: a laser from Connor Wong. First pitch swinging here for Connor,
Speaker 2: he just jumped all over this fastballs Harrisman hitting that
Speaker 2: spot down and in barreled this ball in the line.
Speaker 1: The only question was what's going to be high enough?
Speaker 1: I mean, Connor Wong hit this one on the screws
Speaker 1: one hundred ten miles an hour, absolutely nailed it. Also,
Speaker 1: I forgot to say this yesterday. Mike Minaco in the booth.
Speaker 1: This guy's great. He is awesome. You know, Dave O'Brien,
Speaker 1: you know that's uh, you know that that is his job.
Speaker 1: But if there is a next man up, man, oh man,
Speaker 1: you gotta get Mike Monaco in there. Man. He is
Speaker 1: so good, so good. I can't even explain it. It
Speaker 1: just he just sounds right, he feels right. He just
Speaker 1: has like a you know, just a good voice throughout
Speaker 1: the game. But then he really pumps up the energy
Speaker 1: on those kind of moments. I really love that. But
Speaker 1: unfortunately after that, Siegler, he had a pretty hard hit
Speaker 1: ball ninety eight miles an hour off the bat out
Speaker 1: to deep left center. There's not enough power warning track
Speaker 1: power in that end of the game. Uh, you know Bullpen,
Speaker 1: you know Moran Watson. You know, Watson ended up giving
Speaker 1: up another another RBI double to Lawrence Butler in the
Speaker 1: AH thing. So I ended up being some really good
Speaker 1: insurance for the A's. Again. You know, if you if
Speaker 1: you don't, if you, if you don't give that up,
Speaker 1: then you're looking at possibly a high game in the
Speaker 1: ninth inning. So it is what it is I see
Speaker 1: in the chat. Don't do it Duran picked off? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know Duran, he there's this times man where but
Speaker 1: again jump, he's one of these guys that he he's
Speaker 1: a really deceptive dude, really deceptive in a way. Like
Speaker 1: I don't like making these comparisons. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's fair, but I like to have fun with it.
Speaker 1: He this isn't the best way to put it, but like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's more of like a feel thing
Speaker 1: he kinda in a way sort of yeah, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like I get that feeling almost like Andy
Speaker 1: Pettitt in a way, like he he's just like very deceptive,
Speaker 1: he's crafty. You know. It gives me that sort of
Speaker 1: a vibe in a way, not fully but like a
Speaker 1: little if that makes sense. But yeah, I mean Duran,
Speaker 1: you know, he just he just got him over there.
Speaker 1: So it is what it is. But that was it
Speaker 1: here for today's game. Tonight's game, Ladies and gentlemen, Red
Speaker 1: Sox lose four to three, record at fifty five and
Speaker 1: fifty one. Taking a look at the standing and I believe, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Yankees did win here tonight, taking another one against
Speaker 1: the White Sox. So looking at the wildcard pitcher, Red
Speaker 1: Sox still in the second spot, still in a comfy spot.
Speaker 1: Game in half up. The Minnesota Twins winning their third
Speaker 1: straight game. They came out and they said, hey, we're
Speaker 1: gonna be looking to buy, which you know, I was
Speaker 1: kind of expecting coming into the year. No, I was
Speaker 1: not expecting that. But the Twins, you know, they've looked fantastic, well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say fantastic, but they've looked very gritty,
Speaker 1: and they've gotten some good offense, very good offense this year.
Speaker 1: Starting pitching has been pretty good. Bullpen, though, need some help,
Speaker 1: and it looks like they're gonna be looking for some
Speaker 1: bullpen helps. So here are the Twins. There are half
Speaker 1: game behind the Guardians right now for the third Wildcard.
Speaker 1: Astros are a game out. They've won a couple of here.
Speaker 1: The Mariners, I mean, they're just I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on with the Mariners lately. They've been more of
Speaker 1: like a second half team. I feel like over the
Speaker 1: last couple of years, so getting interesting, getting interesting. But
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox for now, still looking all right.
Speaker 1: You know, this loss here tonight wasn't the end of
Speaker 1: the world. We are going to get to some trade news.
Speaker 1: We are gonna get some trade news really quick, just
Speaker 1: just in case I forget. It's late. It is late,
Speaker 1: so I want to make sure I don't forget the
Speaker 1: super chat. What have we got here? My friend Steven,
Speaker 1: who is worse offensively, Duran and Norvias they both see
Speaker 1: like almost guaranteed outs at this point, I think you
Speaker 1: gotta lean narviias there, right, because Duran he gets into
Speaker 1: these hot streaks, you know, but he Duran overall. I
Speaker 1: you know, I'd rather leave. I'd rather lean Duran at
Speaker 1: this point. But you know that's not really saying much
Speaker 1: because again, he's been so streaky and he's having the
Speaker 1: worst season of his career for a while. Be on nervas, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you're you really have nervas in there for
Speaker 1: the defense and working with the pictures. At this point,
Speaker 1: you know, Duran at least he gives you. He's driving
Speaker 1: in runs, he's giving you good base running, he's stealing
Speaker 1: some bags. You know, a guy that can run from
Speaker 1: first to home. So yeah, like Duran, I would lean him.
Speaker 1: But obviously he's having the down year. So really quick, everybody,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break. We'll talk about the trade
Speaker 1: news coming up. If you can't hit the like button,
Speaker 1: subscribe if you're new, we'll be right back. We are back.
Speaker 1: We are back really quick. Before we get to the
Speaker 1: trade news, do you want to go over tomorrow's game?
Speaker 1: We got Patrick Sandoval going up against Jacob B. Lopez. Also,
Speaker 1: I did notice in the chat. Sorry, Mike Monico, I
Speaker 1: it's late. I'm sorry I boxed that one, Mike Monico.
Speaker 1: That guy's amazing when that guy's in the booth. But
Speaker 1: moving on to tomorrow's game, Patrick Sandoval going up against
Speaker 1: Jacob Lopez. Now, Sandoval, the he's been all right for
Speaker 1: the most part, but the problem with him is he
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to go deep into these outings. You
Speaker 1: really hope hoping for a bit of a longer outing
Speaker 1: here tomorrow. He's kind of always been that way in
Speaker 1: his career, just command wise. You know, it's never really
Speaker 1: helped him get deeper into the games consistently, you know,
Speaker 1: But overall so far, you know, he's been alright three
Speaker 1: point two one over the three starts to fourteen innings.
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily walking guys that's been a problem. It's
Speaker 1: more so limiting the pitch count, right. You know, Batters
Speaker 1: just tend to drive up the pictures against him. He's
Speaker 1: not getting a whole lot of swing and miss. He's
Speaker 1: not getting guys to chase, so you know, there's not
Speaker 1: really a whole lot of extensions. So batters tend to
Speaker 1: pick him up a little easier. But again, he's not
Speaker 1: walking guys. He's limiting barrels, he's limiting the hard hits,
Speaker 1: he's limiting the eggs of v LO, so he's getting
Speaker 1: the weak contact. So it's just a matter of man,
Speaker 1: if you can just kind of put the command together
Speaker 1: a little bit more. You know, that's a guy I
Speaker 1: would love for him to go out there and give
Speaker 1: you six innings tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. Coming
Speaker 1: off his last start, you know, he worked around some
Speaker 1: bass hits against Toronto. Five hits in four and two thirds,
Speaker 1: three k's, two walks. It wasn't a bad outing. Hopefully
Speaker 1: Ryan Watson going here today, so you know, hopefully Sandoval
Speaker 1: can give you a little something middle relief. You know,
Speaker 1: hopefully you won't have to you know, with Watson, a
Speaker 1: guy you know that can give you bulk innings. So yeah,
Speaker 1: hopefully Sandoval can go a little longer there tomorrow and
Speaker 1: going up against mister Patrick Sandoval. We got Jacob Lopez.
Speaker 1: He has not had a whole lot of success so far.
Speaker 1: Sixteen games, thirteen stars. It's elra above a six fit
Speaker 1: at a five point six eight. He's actually coming off
Speaker 1: a good start though against the Twins on the road,
Speaker 1: five innings one hit, he did walk four, but he
Speaker 1: struck out four. So but overall with Lopez, he's limiting barrels,
Speaker 1: he's limiting the hard hits. The guys are not hitting
Speaker 1: the ball hard off of him, but he's just not
Speaker 1: really getting any swing and miss. He is in the
Speaker 1: twenty six percent tile with his fifth percentage, only seventh
Speaker 1: percent tile with his chase percentage, and then seventh percent
Speaker 1: tie with his walk percentage. He's a very odd picture.
Speaker 1: He's not giving up hard contact, but the command and
Speaker 1: swing and miss it's just not there. So comes off
Speaker 1: to me just very erratic from the left side. A
Speaker 1: strikeout to walk ratio of seven point four to five
Speaker 1: point six. So he's giving up the long ball. So
Speaker 1: you know, realistically, we'll see how it goes. You know,
Speaker 1: Gage Jump. He's looking like, like I said, looking like
Speaker 1: Andy Petnett here tonight, Jacob Lopez. You know, going from
Speaker 1: the left side, you should be able to take advantage
Speaker 1: of this matchup. You're gonna see those ridings back into
Speaker 1: there tomorrow. I would imagine Romie. I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: be back in Monasterio. I think he's gonna be in there. Obviously,
Speaker 1: also I forgot to say so Guard came back up
Speaker 1: here today for the Red Sox with Curtis Mead going
Speaker 1: on the iel, so wonder if you see him in
Speaker 1: the game tomorrow. We'll see but uh, that's a picturing
Speaker 1: maxshup for tomorrow, same time in game time. Here's the news.
Speaker 1: Here is the news. We got some trade rumors. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go through this pretty quick because it's bedtime, ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. It's bedtime. Also, if you are watching from this,
Speaker 1: good morning, I hope you're having a good morning so far.
Speaker 1: Buster Only Buster Only coming out here today connecting Otto
Speaker 1: Lopez to the Red Sox, Mark Fine Song coming out
Speaker 1: here today talking about the Marlins maybe being open to dealing.
Speaker 1: Liam Hicks mentioned the Red Sox as a possible destination. Now,
Speaker 1: before we really get into this, what is the strategy
Speaker 1: going to be for the Red Sox after this injury? Right, Well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing bright side. Curtis Mead luckily has four
Speaker 1: more years of control, so there is that, right, that
Speaker 1: was one of the perks of bringing him in. Obviously
Speaker 1: you'd like for him to help this year, and obviously
Speaker 1: that's a huge blow. That's a bummer but if you
Speaker 1: are looking for a silver lining, you got him for
Speaker 1: four more years, right, So that was one of the
Speaker 1: perks of bringing him in. So it is what it is, though,
Speaker 1: But when it comes to this season, comes to this season,
Speaker 1: what is the approach going to be? Well, do you
Speaker 1: see possibly a more aggressive Craig Bresler now that you've
Speaker 1: had this injury, or do you see him still staying
Speaker 1: the course, kind of doing what he's doing, or maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of both maybe
Speaker 1: kind of you know, find a happy medium between the two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: get aggressive, But does that mean necessarily like, oh man,
Speaker 1: we just lost Curtis Mead. Now we gotta go pull
Speaker 1: off a blockbuster for for Bobby Wick Junior. We gotta
Speaker 1: go get that done. We gotta go do it now,
Speaker 1: don't I don't think so necessarily. Chris Catillo did mention
Speaker 1: earlier today he wonders if they could get aggressive in
Speaker 1: the rental market. I think that could be a bit
Speaker 1: of a happy medium, right, kind of a thing. Here's
Speaker 1: here's the thing with Crank. He is someone that doesn't
Speaker 1: react emotionally. He is as analytical as they come. Right.
Speaker 1: He is not going to be someone that I am
Speaker 1: sure he was bummed out about that. I like we
Speaker 1: all were frustrated about it. Right, he did it probably
Speaker 1: did a lot of to get that trade done, right,
Speaker 1: and for that to happen, that's awful, right, But Craig,
Speaker 1: he is someone where he's gonna stay on the path
Speaker 1: and but yeah, but could he uppers efforts for you know,
Speaker 1: someone on that rental market, possibly like a Luisa Rise, Right,
Speaker 1: Curtis Mead was looking like he was gonna get looks
Speaker 1: at second base. Well, how long is he going to
Speaker 1: be out We don't know. But does he go out
Speaker 1: there and go after maybe someone like Luisa Rise who
Speaker 1: would really fill that leadoff spot I've mentioned him as
Speaker 1: a possibility before, or could he still swing big and
Speaker 1: go for one of these shortstops like Zach Netto or
Speaker 1: cj Abrams who scouts think that you know, he could
Speaker 1: be better off moving to second base or Jeff Passing
Speaker 1: even mentioned here today. You can move him out to
Speaker 1: center field eventually, all right, Yeah, that is one thing
Speaker 1: about him. He's very athletic. I believe he has played
Speaker 1: a little center field in his pro career. But anyway,
Speaker 1: either way, you know CJ Abrams or could he still
Speaker 1: go after someone that's under a lot of control, but
Speaker 1: wouldn't cost as much as say Zach Nedo or cj. Abrams.
Speaker 1: Someone like Otto Lopez, who we've just talked about with
Speaker 1: Buster Ony connecting him to the Red Sox here today.
Speaker 1: And I mentioned Otto Lopez in a prior episode. I
Speaker 1: actually do think and I'll repeat myself on that, I
Speaker 1: do think he's a good candidate for the Red Sox,
Speaker 1: to be honest, because he's one of these guys that's
Speaker 1: trending up right. That was the same thing with Curtis
Speaker 1: meat Right, a cost controlled guy that is lacking track
Speaker 1: record but has really gotten himself going. So there's that
Speaker 1: a time where you really go for it when he's
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction. A guy that's really good
Speaker 1: play discipline, he makes a lot of contact, a guy
Speaker 1: that's gonna be just a he's gonna do some stuff
Speaker 1: for you, he's gonna give you speed at the end.
Speaker 1: That's a guy that I think you could put in
Speaker 1: the leadoff spot for the Red Sox. Right, so again
Speaker 1: more of a contact guy, but that's someone where I
Speaker 1: wonder if he's a good fit for the Red Sox
Speaker 1: organization because you could where the Red Sox have been
Speaker 1: comfortable is trying to improve bat speed and the batter
Speaker 1: ball metrics. You kind of feel like he's a perfect
Speaker 1: candidate for that. And again he's having a good season
Speaker 1: in a three twenty eight, eight fifty four ops a
Speaker 1: one thirty three WRC plus. Now he does have a
Speaker 1: very high babbit so I imagine over time that's gonna
Speaker 1: come down a little bit. You tend to see regression
Speaker 1: with those kind of guys. But again, you know, he
Speaker 1: kind of fits into what the Red Sox have been
Speaker 1: really looking to do ever since Chad Tracy came in,
Speaker 1: putting more of the bat on the ball, using your
Speaker 1: athleticism again with him, like he's not gonna walk a
Speaker 1: whole lot. He's very aggressive up there, but he's not
Speaker 1: going to strike out. He's not going to swing and
Speaker 1: miss a whole lot. He squares up the ball very well.
Speaker 1: But again, it's improving the batted ball, so you know.
Speaker 1: And another thing without a Lopez too, is he's been
Speaker 1: playing a good shortstop this year, five outs above average
Speaker 1: on the year. But he's also capable of playing second base,
Speaker 1: where he's played a lot over the last few years.
Speaker 1: So you know, he has that versatility. So Story comes
Speaker 1: back and okay, Story is the vet, so he's got
Speaker 1: to go to Short. You can have the argument over
Speaker 1: the numbers, but he's still he has the I mean,
Speaker 1: he's clearly got the versatility. So if you need to
Speaker 1: move guys around, you know, and and honestly like you
Speaker 1: kind of wonder without a Lopez if long to you know,
Speaker 1: second base, just you can say the same thing about
Speaker 1: Story too, right, but the arm strength isn't there, So
Speaker 1: either Lopez or Story that you could say they profile
Speaker 1: better at second base, but whatever, someone that can play
Speaker 1: up the middle for you. I think Otto Lopez is
Speaker 1: definitely someone to pay attention to if you're looking for
Speaker 1: someone that's not a rental but not going to be
Speaker 1: as expensive as the top tier guys. You know, listen
Speaker 1: for zach Netto for c j Abrams. Uh. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: you would have to, You would have to, you know.
Speaker 1: I've I've said, realistically, I don't think I don't see
Speaker 1: the Red Sox giving up Arius for those guys. I
Speaker 1: just don't. I don't see it. The only way I
Speaker 1: could see Craig giving up Arius who Homer today, By
Speaker 1: the way, first Home Renn at Triple A. The only
Speaker 1: way I could see Craig giving up Arius is for
Speaker 1: Ellie Da La Cruz. That's the only way I could
Speaker 1: see it. And I think the Section ten guys have
Speaker 1: been kind of hinting at it a little bit. But
Speaker 1: I do want to put this out there that Rob Bradford,
Speaker 1: he actually put out a tweet saying, for those wondering
Speaker 1: about Ellie d La Cruz, inquiring teams are being told
Speaker 1: not to bother. So, you know, figured i'd mention it
Speaker 1: because at least, you know, one of the guys, one
Speaker 1: of the one of the reporters out there did put
Speaker 1: it out there. Tyler Milliken did repost it, though he
Speaker 1: did quote it saying, you know what, I am going
Speaker 1: to bother? I don't know. I don't know what that means,
Speaker 1: but yeah, Ellie Dayla Cruz, like I feel like he's
Speaker 1: the only guy at this point I would give up
Speaker 1: for I would give up Franklin Arrius for I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe you all feel differently. Maybe you'd give him up
Speaker 1: for Arius. Would you give him up for Abrams or
Speaker 1: or sorry, would you give him up for Netto or Abrams?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I see you in the chat, Colton
Speaker 1: Francona gonna give us a deal. Come on, Terry, come on.
Speaker 1: We know you still love the Red Sox deep down.
Speaker 1: I know the exit was great, but come on, help
Speaker 1: us out, help us out. But yeah, Raphael and the
Speaker 1: chat Ellie Sells Jerseys. I don't see the Reds moving him.
Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if they move him. I know he's
Speaker 1: gonna go and get himself a massive contract. But the
Speaker 1: Reds want to win. They want to compete, and that's
Speaker 1: like I've said that time and time again. Teams want
Speaker 1: to compete. You know, Ellie Dayla Cruz is one of
Speaker 1: the top players in the game. He does, so yeah,
Speaker 1: would he be great for the Red Sox. Absolutely pretty
Speaker 1: much checks off all the boxes that you need, but
Speaker 1: takes two to tango right now? Is anything impossible? No,
Speaker 1: you never say never to anything. But if you were
Speaker 1: to ask me, likely or unlikely. I don't think Elli
Speaker 1: Dyla Cruz is going anywhere. It feels even weird just
Speaker 1: mentioning this as a possibility, but heya, a man can dream, right,
Speaker 1: But again, the only reason I'm bringing him up is
Speaker 1: Rob Bradford did put that out there today, so so
Speaker 1: want to make that clear again. Go back to ot Lopez.
Speaker 1: He feels like that happy medium. If you're not looking,
Speaker 1: a rental would be the cheapest, right Luis Arise, He
Speaker 1: realistically wouldn't cost you a whole lot. So that's where
Speaker 1: I do wonder if you know, especially with Curtis Mead
Speaker 1: now on the IL, if they could turn to him
Speaker 1: as a possibility, I feel like you would be lower
Speaker 1: on the totem pole, Like I feel like they're going
Speaker 1: to look at other guys first, and if they feel
Speaker 1: like they're not going to be able to obtain those
Speaker 1: guys at whatever the Red Sox feel comfortable giving up,
Speaker 1: then I think Arise could eventually be an option. And
Speaker 1: you know, if you're looking at a timeline wise, right,
Speaker 1: Arise is going to be a rental. Curtis Mead you
Speaker 1: have him for four more years. So if that's a
Speaker 1: guy that you're going to give a chance a second base, well, Arise,
Speaker 1: you just got him for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: When Curtis Mead comes back, he works his way in
Speaker 1: as a righty bat that DH is and if you're
Speaker 1: in the postseason, he works his way in in different spots, right,
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't count out the possibility of a rise.
Speaker 1: That's a guy that I think could be a guy
Speaker 1: you put in the leadoff spot. But then you know,
Speaker 1: but if you wanted to go for someone that you're
Speaker 1: gonna have for longer, I think Otto Lopez really makes sense.
Speaker 1: You know, I thought about him the other day and
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, it depends on what the Marlins do. Though,
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do? I don't know. But with
Speaker 1: Peter Bendix coming from a Raise organization, you know, you
Speaker 1: know how the Rays are the Rays. They march to
Speaker 1: the beat of their own drum. They are looking yet
Speaker 1: to compete now, but they're always looking at the future, right, So, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have Otto Lopez under control, But could this be
Speaker 1: a situation where Bendix sells high and really looks to
Speaker 1: bring in projectable talent back, Like, could you do something?
Speaker 1: You know with Marcelo Meyer here? Could you possibly You're
Speaker 1: not gonna give up Arius for Auto Lopez. There's no way.
Speaker 1: This is not enough track, right, but someone like Meyer,
Speaker 1: who you know, you feel I could maybe use a
Speaker 1: change of scenery. Things just haven't worked out. I feel
Speaker 1: like just going back to his time coming up through
Speaker 1: the organization so many injuries and then yeah, he's shown flashes.
Speaker 1: But I wonder if like that's someone Bendix, who'd be like,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of upside with him, right, because there
Speaker 1: is there is upside with the bat, there is upside defensively,
Speaker 1: would he be interested in tapping into that someone he'd
Speaker 1: have for a little bit longer than Auto Lopez, right,
Speaker 1: someone like has more power upside. But I'd understand if
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be interested in someone like Meyer because obviously
Speaker 1: hasn't really been able to show much up to this point.
Speaker 1: So but I think Lopez is someone you could obtain again,
Speaker 1: He's a trending up kind of a guy. Really fits
Speaker 1: that same kind of category as Meat. Not much track record,
Speaker 1: really good year control, kind.
Speaker 2: Of a.
Speaker 1: Kind of fits that bill. We'll see. But as for
Speaker 1: Liam Hicks, I've been mentioning him a little bit. I
Speaker 1: put him that's not Liam Hicks. That's not Liam Hicks either.
Speaker 1: Oh man, hold on a second, Well that's a von Herrera.
Speaker 1: Well I'll pull up Liam Hickson just a second. But
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, according to Mark fin Son, they could be
Speaker 1: open to moving some catching. They have a lot of
Speaker 1: catching within the organization. Herrera. Now, he's an interesting one,
Speaker 1: right He bats on the right side of the play.
Speaker 1: If I remember correctly, he homered at Femway Park last year.
Speaker 1: He's gonna give you a little bit more pop from
Speaker 1: the catcher and DH position. From the right side. He's
Speaker 1: got some power upside. He's having an ok year ops wise,
Speaker 1: hitting seven thirty nine one to thirteen ops or one
Speaker 1: thirteen WRC plus. He's not much of a poll guy.
Speaker 1: He tends to go a bit more center and opo.
Speaker 1: That's where he homered, I believe, into the bullpen at
Speaker 1: Fenway Park, if I remember correctly. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: you know, that's someone that can give you a little
Speaker 1: bit more pop, you know. But then, hey, Connor Wong,
Speaker 1: you just see a Wong Dong here tonight. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but yeah, Herrera, he's an option. He also mentioned Pedro Pahz,
Speaker 1: but I don't see him because there's not really much
Speaker 1: of a bat with him. He gives you good defense,
Speaker 1: but you already have that with a narbias, So maybe Herrera.
Speaker 1: But I personally think Hicks is a guy to keep
Speaker 1: an eye on because taking a look here with Hicks,
Speaker 1: he's a guy that can give you a bit more
Speaker 1: balance offensively at the catcher position. He bats from the
Speaker 1: left side, but he also fits into that same mold
Speaker 1: of what I was just talking about talking about with
Speaker 1: a couple of things. He has a good amount of
Speaker 1: troll left a guy that's also kind of trending up
Speaker 1: this year. He's having a good year at the plate,
Speaker 1: but he also fits into that same hit or mold,
Speaker 1: a guy that makes more contact. He's not going to
Speaker 1: strike out very much. He's got good plate discipline, but
Speaker 1: you could see a bit more with the batter ball profile.
Speaker 1: In fact, you could see a lot more actually, So
Speaker 1: that's where the argument for him at Femway. It might
Speaker 1: not be great because there's not power, and you need power.
Speaker 1: If you're going to be a lefty bat at Fenway Park,
Speaker 1: you do need some power, right, But maybe they feel
Speaker 1: like they could up that a little bit, I don't know,
Speaker 1: over the next couple of years or so. Maybe they
Speaker 1: can get tap into a little bit more there. But
Speaker 1: if you did want a bit of balance at the
Speaker 1: catcher position, he's a lefty bat, you can pare him,
Speaker 1: you know, with nervaas there. I don't know long I
Speaker 1: don't know if that how would you could you make
Speaker 1: all three work? I don't know so, but Hicks gives
Speaker 1: you that balance. Not amazing Defensively, he's got he's got
Speaker 1: a bit of an r. He's thrown some guys out
Speaker 1: this year, but you know, overall defensively going back to
Speaker 1: last year, it's not amazing. Yeah, you're really looking at
Speaker 1: more of a contact guy where maybe you could improve
Speaker 1: the batted ball pairs well lefty righty with the catcher right.
Speaker 1: But again, defensively, I don't know, but I think someone
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on personally. We'll see how it
Speaker 1: all goes. But again, you know, kind of getting back here,
Speaker 1: what is the strategy going to be, especially after the
Speaker 1: Curtis meet injury. That's kind I feel like that's what
Speaker 1: my gut's saying. Would it be awesome for Craig to
Speaker 1: go pull off a move? Absolutely, I don't think it.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna dismiss that. I think if the if
Speaker 1: the right move is there for a blockbuster for say
Speaker 1: a Netto or an Abrams, one of those guys, then
Speaker 1: why not. Again, I don't think Craig is I don't
Speaker 1: think it's impossible, but I don't think he's gonna over
Speaker 1: extend himself to get a deal done like that. I
Speaker 1: just feel like that's I don't know, you just haven't
Speaker 1: really seen that very much, right. But could he find
Speaker 1: the right package for someone cheaper like Auto Lopez. I
Speaker 1: feel like that's a bit of a happy medium there.
Speaker 1: Auto Lopez one more time fits that batter ball mode
Speaker 1: or fits that batted ball profile a little bit. And
Speaker 1: if I'm actually looking, let me see where he's He
Speaker 1: mostly batted for the Marlins this year. He's been leadoff,
Speaker 1: so that would solve your leadoff spot. I think he
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. Would I like for them
Speaker 1: to go after more of the blockbuster kind of a move?
Speaker 1: Of course, of course I would. I would love that.
Speaker 1: Listen if they got Abrams or Netto, I'm doing cartwheels,
Speaker 1: but with an A. Lopez, I'd be happy about that too.
Speaker 1: He's having a good year, good year. He's gonna give
Speaker 1: you defense, he's gonna give you contact, he's gonna give
Speaker 1: you speed, and he fills a need in the leadoff spot,
Speaker 1: has versatility in the middle infield. I like that, or
Speaker 1: maybe a rise, but I'm open to anything at this point.
Speaker 1: I just don't think the Curtis mead injury is going
Speaker 1: to all of a sudden like make Craig go crazy
Speaker 1: like and just go bananas like aj Preller. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a bit more. He's not gonna let
Speaker 1: the emotions get the best of them, I think personally.
Speaker 1: But those are my thoughts. We got some super chats
Speaker 1: before we wrap things up here. Let me get to
Speaker 1: these super chats here, Paul, do you think there's any
Speaker 1: chance at a top bat with buyers being so desperate,
Speaker 1: sellers can ask for the world. It's a boring answer.
Speaker 1: It just comes down to the right deal. I think
Speaker 1: they are pretty much at a point they do not
Speaker 1: want to deal Arius. I mean, if you're asking for
Speaker 1: another possible answer, Curtis meads out. I mean, you could
Speaker 1: already have someone within the organization in Arius. I don't
Speaker 1: want to put those expectations on him. But listen, the
Speaker 1: guy just looks great, he's looking awesome. You you might
Speaker 1: already have the answer in the organization. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't want to put but if he comes up,
Speaker 1: possibly at some point, if he earns a promotion and
Speaker 1: they give him a shot, we'll see. I would rather
Speaker 1: them go after someone to give you more of that
Speaker 1: that that guaranteed insurance. We were hoping for that with
Speaker 1: meat and obviously that didn't work out. So you know,
Speaker 1: you never know what could happen. Right, But if you
Speaker 1: bring up, if you bring an Auto Lopez for example,
Speaker 1: or Netto or Abrams, even when story comes back, I've
Speaker 1: talked about it before, you'd have you know, those two
Speaker 1: guys up the middle, and then Ivarius is ready to
Speaker 1: come up and say story struggling or whatever. Then you
Speaker 1: then that's even more insurance. Right, So I think it
Speaker 1: makes sense to bring in someone for the middle infield.
Speaker 1: We'll see, and I agree Colton in the chat catcher
Speaker 1: I think is the most needed and Reliever. I do
Speaker 1: agree with reliever. I think absolutely they need to do that.
Speaker 1: I think they will they clearly, I think need to
Speaker 1: bring in a for me personally, a high leverage lefty,
Speaker 1: high leverage lefty. I think that would be awesome for
Speaker 1: them to get that catcher. They've just they've had a
Speaker 1: good thing going here with the pitching staff. I think
Speaker 1: that's such an underrated part of the cacture position. The
Speaker 1: pictures have worked so well, everything is kind of flowing.
Speaker 1: I would hate for that to get interrupted. But I
Speaker 1: understand though offensively if you if you're looking for a boost, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to it. We'll see, uh super chat
Speaker 1: buttered sausage. Can we take a few minutes at Abrams, Robbie,
Speaker 1: I think you'd be an amazing fit, incredible this year.
Speaker 1: Love the content, ghost socks. I love CJ. Abrams too.
Speaker 1: I love C. J. Abrams. He's awesome. I mean, look
Speaker 1: at this year that he's having, I mean good, just
Speaker 1: feast your eyes. Hitting two ninety four nine thirty one ops,
Speaker 1: one fifty two WRC plus twenty seven homers eighty two rbs.
Speaker 1: Would the power go down at Famway Park a little bit? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it would. I think I think you'd see a little
Speaker 1: bit of a decrease there. I mean, it's not like
Speaker 1: it's bad at ball profiles bad pulling this up. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have a bad at ball profile. But it's not
Speaker 1: bleeding red like a Roman Anthony right well, Roman of
Speaker 1: last year or David Ortiz obviously. But you know, I
Speaker 1: think with Abrams, I think at Femway Park, I think
Speaker 1: he could play those those gaps really well. I think
Speaker 1: that speed that he has eighty second percentile sprint speed.
Speaker 1: I think that would play really well. That's a guy
Speaker 1: that can get a lot of extra base hits, a
Speaker 1: lot of triples. Also, getting back to the power part,
Speaker 1: the reason I say that is because he has a
Speaker 1: pole swing, a pole lefty swing. At Famway Park, you're
Speaker 1: hoping for more power with Abrams, though, I still think
Speaker 1: you can make that work. Again, I think he can
Speaker 1: shoot into the gaps and I think he use that
Speaker 1: deep right field pretty well. You know, you could definitely
Speaker 1: see guys that you know they'll like kind of go
Speaker 1: deeper on them, and uh, you know, so, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wonder how outfield alignments, especially right fielders would play
Speaker 1: him at Famway Park. You know, maybe they back up
Speaker 1: a little bit so because they know it's not going
Speaker 1: to go past their head, probably more often than not.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. It'd be interesting like how they
Speaker 1: would play him. But then again, you know if they
Speaker 1: back up on him, well then he's just got all
Speaker 1: the base hit possibilities, right, So it's interesting. It's interesting.
Speaker 1: I think Abrams would be a good fit there. I
Speaker 1: would love to see him. I think you'd be electric.
Speaker 1: I think again, like you said in the chat, Rafael
Speaker 1: triple triples for days. I agree. I think he's a
Speaker 1: guy that can make a lot of things happen. You
Speaker 1: could bat him third, you can bat him lead off.
Speaker 1: I think it'd be great. And I think, if I
Speaker 1: remember correctly the Section ten guys, they said just because
Speaker 1: he made a trade with the Nationals Curtis Meade doesn't
Speaker 1: mean someone like Abrams is off the board. But again,
Speaker 1: you know, the Nationals getting back one more time. I
Speaker 1: keep saying it over and over and over again. They're
Speaker 1: right there, they're one game out. They won tonight, They're
Speaker 1: right there, they're two games over five hundred. Connolly Early
Speaker 1: is coming back soon, you know. Like I think he
Speaker 1: threw a bullpen today in Washington. He arrived there today,
Speaker 1: so they're gonna be getting him back, so they're gonna
Speaker 1: have more pitching down the stretch. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced they're gonna move him. It'd be great,
Speaker 1: but I think, my guess the only way they would
Speaker 1: trade him is if they got an Arius. That's my
Speaker 1: that's my thinking. Uh. Stephen Craig thoughts on twenty twenty seven,
Speaker 1: twenty seven season not happening. I don't buy it. To
Speaker 1: be honest, I think there's a lot of fear mongering
Speaker 1: with that whole thing. Listen, I just think as as
Speaker 1: a former teacher. And again, you know, I'm not gonna say.
Speaker 1: You know, who knows how this lot, how long this
Speaker 1: lockout could be. But I've seen unions go back and
Speaker 1: forth with each other. I've seen the counties going back
Speaker 1: and forth with the teachers Union. Oh my goodness, I
Speaker 1: would get so many emails left and right when they
Speaker 1: were doing in their collective bargaining sessions. I would get
Speaker 1: emails all the time, Oh, the county is terrible. They
Speaker 1: don't want to help you, they don't look out for you,
Speaker 1: they don't want to pay you. They're terrible, terrible. And
Speaker 1: then the county would send us emails, Hey, we are
Speaker 1: working with the teachers Union. We are we are fighting
Speaker 1: as much as we can for you, and you know,
Speaker 1: we're also looking out for the county. And I'll just
Speaker 1: be back and forth all the time. Like I I
Speaker 1: think eventually they're going to figure something out. Could you
Speaker 1: have a bit of a lockout in the off season
Speaker 1: like we saw back what was it four or five
Speaker 1: years ago? Sure? Maybe? Yeah, Like I think you could
Speaker 1: you know, could you end up missing a little bit
Speaker 1: of the season. Sure, I think there's just too much
Speaker 1: money on the line, and I think there's just it's
Speaker 1: baseball is going in a good direction. I think it's
Speaker 1: so so bad for them to let you know, to
Speaker 1: to miss games, like how ridiculous. But then again, you know,
Speaker 1: major League Baseball they've shot themselves in the foot over all.
Speaker 1: You know how many years you know, they at any
Speaker 1: time they take a step forward, they just take a
Speaker 1: step back, you know, one step forward, two steps back.
Speaker 1: It feels like that's happened with Major League Baseball over
Speaker 1: the years. But I do think a lot of what
Speaker 1: you see in the media, it's you got these guys
Speaker 1: are gonna be putting stuff out, you know, owners, players, union,
Speaker 1: They're all gonna be saying stuff because that's what that's
Speaker 1: a strategy. It's using the public right, it's to create
Speaker 1: that pressure. It's a tactic. It's just what it is.
Speaker 1: You know, that's anywhere, that's any union out there, that's
Speaker 1: that's just what you do. You know. Anyway, I would
Speaker 1: like to think that they're not gonna miss Yeah, could
Speaker 1: you see see the gates close for a little bit? Sure?
Speaker 1: I am not fully expecting they're gonna miss games. I
Speaker 1: just don't. I don't know. Maybe who knows, maybe you
Speaker 1: miss a little bit of time. But I keep seeing
Speaker 1: people in all twenty twenty seven seasons gone. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I think that's a little crazy, Like sure, could it
Speaker 1: get bad, of course, of course it could. I just
Speaker 1: think there's too much money at stake. I think eventually
Speaker 1: someone will say something, be like okay, come on, like gotta,
Speaker 1: we gotta there's too much money here. Let's get this
Speaker 1: figured out. Anyway, moving on, Oh, you had another part,
Speaker 1: and if that's affecting trades, I think the only thing
Speaker 1: would be for guys that are like, have one more
Speaker 1: year of control, like Joe Ryan for example, right, he
Speaker 1: has one more year of control. So you gotta think
Speaker 1: like if owners and organizations they're wondering about next year,
Speaker 1: if there is a little bit of worry there and
Speaker 1: they trade away prospects for someone that has one year
Speaker 1: left of control like Joe Ryan, who is not looking
Speaker 1: like he's gonna get moved. I'm just using him as
Speaker 1: an example that could come into play a little bit
Speaker 1: like oh, well, we don't even know how long we're
Speaker 1: gonna have him for next year, So I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know that I think could come into play with
Speaker 1: those guys. But if you got guys like it our
Speaker 1: under control for a few years, Baseball is not gonna
Speaker 1: be locked down for three years, all right, So I
Speaker 1: think we can all agree on that. Those guys I
Speaker 1: don't think are gonna be affected at all. Reynolds, They're
Speaker 1: not gonna be affected. So yeah, guys that are under
Speaker 1: control for next year. Sure I could see those guys.
Speaker 1: Maybe it creates a little bit of a problem. But anyway,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, I'm out of here. I'm gonna wrap
Speaker 1: it up right there. I wanted to go as quickly
Speaker 1: as possible here tonight. I'm very tired. It's already one
Speaker 1: twenty in the morning. Oh I gotta go get some sleep. Everybody,
Speaker 1: Thank you all the members that came out here tonight.
Speaker 1: Thank you for everyone that came out here tonight. Thank
Speaker 1: you for the super chats. Do appreciate that. I'm going
Speaker 1: to bed, everybody. We'll be back here tomorrow, same time.
Speaker 1: We'll see you then. Tada
