1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: From the Berkshires to the South, from wherever you live

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: in MLB America. This is inside the Parker. You give

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: us twenty two minutes and we'll give you the scoop

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: on major League Baseball. Now here's Baseball Hall of Fame

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: voter number eight six, Rob Parker. Welcome into the show.

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: We have a great podcast for you today. I'm your host,

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Rob Parker. Coming up on the program, we will talk

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: with New York Post and MLB Network analyst Joel Sherman.

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: He'll have the winners and losers of the trade deadline

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: that has come and gone. Also will revisit Shawlie Hayes

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: and his son Keith Brian Hayes, who made his major

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: league debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in grand fashion. That

13
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: and much more. Let's go up to lead off. It's

14
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: getting Rob. Keep him on the three biggest stories in

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. Number one, the Yankees and raised or

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: added again Tuesday night. They got into a bench clearing

17
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: uh tay to tay at the end of the game

18
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: a Yankees win. But no, this is not over. I

19
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: mean both sides there's are definitely a heated rivalry and

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: today major League Baseball was not happy with what it saw,

21
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: so a all this, Chapman and Yankees manager Aaron Boone

22
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: were both suspended, so was Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash

23
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: for the incident Tuesday night. Chapman got three games, while

24
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Boone and Cash each got suspended for one game each,

25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: and all three received undisclosed fines. And uh, this is

26
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: just Chapman through a hundred and one mile our pitch

27
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: at a pinch hitter while closing out his first save

28
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: in the game. The umpires, of course issued a warning

29
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: and uh, it was just the an ugly ending of

30
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: a game. Obviously, head hunting is is never should be

31
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: a part of the game. But these two have gone

32
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: back and forth even uh. A couple of years ago,

33
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: when C C. Sabathia retaliated in the game against the Raise,

34
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: the Rays have had the Yankees number have beat him

35
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: up pretty good, winning seven of the first nine games

36
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: that they played. Cash even went on the record basically

37
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: saying that his team would retaliate on Wednesday night. That's

38
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: yet to be seen, but yes, there is bad blood

39
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: as these two teams are vying for the American League

40
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: East title and this will be interesting to see how

41
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: this plays out these suspensions, though, should calm things down,

42
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: It's very unlikely we'll see another brew ha ha when

43
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: day Night number two say it isn't so. But the

44
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: San Diego Padres have a better offense than the Los

45
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: Angeles Dodgers. I know people are gonna pooh pooh it

46
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: say I'm a sugar ar, I'm crazy, especially since the

47
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: Dodgers said a National League record for home runs in

48
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: the month of August with fifty seven dingers. That's right,

49
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: But the Padres, are you ready have actually scored more

50
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: runs than the Dodgers. How is that even possible? Fernando

51
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: Tattoos Jr. Is a reason why. That's the guy who

52
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: was named the National League Player of the month. They

53
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: are writing Tattoos Jr. They are writing Manny Machado. They

54
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: lead in a lot of the other categories other than

55
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: the run differential, which the Dodgers have a better run differential,

56
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: But the Adres have actually scored more runs. That's how

57
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: potent that offense is. Tattoos Jr. Has been a one

58
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: man record machine and uh this past month he batted

59
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: three thirteen eleven home runs rb I and an ops

60
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: of one pot oh five seven. Yes, It's not a fluke.

61
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: It's a real deal. To prodres have played half the season.

62
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: They are the best offensive team in the National League,

63
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: not the Los Angeles Dodgers. Number three, Who is the

64
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: best closer in Major League Baseball? I bet you nobody

65
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: knows that answer. I'll stop you. It's a guy from Milwaukee.

66
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: He plays for the Brewers. I know you think it's

67
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: Josh Haydor, right, that only makes sense, especially since Josh

68
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: Haydor hasn't given up a hit going into Wednesday Nights Action.

69
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: And no, he hasn't given up a hit all year.

70
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: But it's not him. Devin Williams. Have you heard of him?

71
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: He has a devastating changeup which is so nasty. Going

72
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: into Wednesday, he had lowered as e r RD to

73
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: zero point six four. Here's more, he had twenty nine

74
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: strikeouts in fourteen innings, more than two per inning, and

75
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: walking way fewer and suppressing the other team's batting average

76
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: as well. Yes, this year old sophomore set up man

77
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: has been tremendous for the Brewers. He right now is

78
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: the best closer. You need to go to YouTube and

79
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: take a look at that changeup. It is almost unhittable.

80
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Remember the name Devin Williams Number four. Baseball lost a

81
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: true legend on Monday. We found out on Wednesday that

82
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: the great Tom Siever, the greatest Met of all time,

83
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: died at the age of seventy five. Yes, he was

84
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: called Tom Terrific because he was that great. Three hundred

85
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: and eleven wins he was uh. He had three thousand,

86
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: six hundred and forty career strikeouts, won three Side Young Awards,

87
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: and he was the guy that people always remember as

88
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: the leader of that miracle Mets nineteen sixty nine championship team. Yes,

89
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. As a kid growing up in New York,

90
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: I used to take the bus and the train to

91
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: Shake Stadium just to watch his watch him pitch. And

92
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, the Mets weren't good, but

93
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: they still had Tom Siever and he always gave them

94
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 1: a chance to win. He was that great. Many many

95
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: New Yorkers, many many Mets fans, will always have a

96
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: soft spot in their hearts for Tom Terrific. He was

97
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: exactly talk about the perfect nickname, Tom Terrific. He was

98
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: terrific and he will be missed. Baseball lost a legend.

99
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: It's time for the pocket Protector Centrum. The analytic numbers

100
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: you need to know. Well, maybe Anthony Masterson is his name,

101
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: b S Analytics is his game. What do you got

102
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: for me, Anthony? Or with the trade deadline passing in

103
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: this wild sprint of the season earlier this week, it

104
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: kind of thinking about other deadline deals that from the

105
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: fortunes of certain franchises, even from me. For a couple

106
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: of months CC Sabati's in Milwaukee, you went assessed, But

107
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: it's any seventeen whole months of the medicine, including nine

108
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: September that team went to the World Series. Sometimes you're

109
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: looking to rebuild. How about the White Sox, Landy Alloy

110
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: Jimenez and don't cease for those day Cantana the way

111
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: he's getting Tyler glassnew and Austin Meadows for Chris Archer.

112
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk about one of the best mid season acquisitions ever,

113
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: the Mets, sending franchise icon Tom Sieber to the Reds

114
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: in June of the nineteen seventy seven season. It was

115
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: a dispute about money. Fever wanted an increase on this

116
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: two D twenty five thousand dollar salary and ownership baulked

117
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: shipping into the Queen City. All Severer did that season

118
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: was still fourteen complete games with the Reds alone, including

119
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: four shutouts, garnering five and a half wins above replacement

120
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: justin Cincinnati, most of any mid season acquisition in the

121
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: divisual era since nineteen Now on the offensive end, Rickie

122
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: Henderson's mid season trade from the Yankees to the A's

123
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: in n nine not only brought a World Series title

124
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: to Oakland, but Henderson himself was worth five point one

125
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: war just for the A's, most of any acquisition again

126
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: since sixty nine. Now, Ricky always said acquiring Ricky was

127
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: a good idea. Now, could Mike Clevinger be that guy

128
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: for the Padres this year? It's gonna be a fun

129
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: month to find out. And when that ball is it

130
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: was a big week in the Big League. Who's Who's

131
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: is it followed? Or is it fair? And now Here's

132
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: shadow league dot Com MLB insider JR. Gamble at age

133
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: thirty seven, Robbie Cano from the New York Metses batting

134
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: three eighty and off to his best start through a

135
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: hundred plate appearances in his career. Jr. Is it foul

136
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: or fair to say He's the best second baseman in

137
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: baseball in this modern era. Fair that's a fair ball.

138
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: I still think Joe Morgan and Roberto Alamar were better

139
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: all around players, but Canoe is probably a superior heater.

140
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: It's hard to discredit Canoe's careers anything less than all

141
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: of fame worthy, and what he's doing at this age

142
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: through the first half of the season is just amazing.

143
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm a two and ten at the age of twenty seven.

144
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: To his first ninety nine played appearances, can know was

145
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: batting three eight two, eight homers, eighteen r b I

146
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: and in eleven fifty four ops. He finished third in

147
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: the MVP voting that season. Ten years later, the batting

148
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: average is similar, he has one less homer and the

149
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: RBIs are identical. Prior to his t D suspension in

150
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen, Canno rob was probably already on his

151
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: way to the Hall of Fame. He raised statistically with

152
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: the best second baseman to ever do it, and his

153
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: power numbers are off the chart. He's just twenty one

154
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: homers away from breaking Jeff Kent all time career home

155
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: run record five second baseman fifty one and should eclipse

156
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: that sometime next season probably has all the accing Ladies,

157
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 1: All Stars, Championship brings, silver sluggers, you name it. And

158
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: he played for the Rolling Stones of Baseball, the Yankees

159
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: for the first nine years of his career, but in

160
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: order to overcome the stick months of getting caught using

161
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: later in his career, because don't has to have a

162
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: few more seasons like the one he's having this year.

163
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: For the Ultra Conservative Baseball Writers Association of America to

164
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,079

169
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: This trash is coming from Tony in Los Angeles. He tweeted,

170
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: I'm trashing the New York Yankees. They tried to buy

171
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: a championship again and load up on players, Judge Stanton Savareino.

172
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: All look good, but they're actually an outdated box of cookies.

173
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: The problem is that the New York Yankees thought they

174
00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: were getting players, but they actually got gingerbread men. End quote.

175
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: I guess he's talking about all the injuries Anyway, if

176

Speaker 1: trash talking Twitter, hit me up at Rob Parker FS

178
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: one on Twitter. When Rob was a newspaper columnist, he

179
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: lived by this motto, if I'm writing, I'm riffing. Let's

180
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: bring in a writer and broadcaster, older new all right,

181
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: let's welcome into the podcast one of my favorite people,

182
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: a guy I've known for a long time, Joel Sherman

183
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: from the New York Post and MLB Network. Joe, welcome

184
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 1: to the podcast. It's good to be with you. When

185
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: yet another medium, Rob, you know it, Joe, all Right.

186
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: Winners and losers Baseball trade deadline. We're halfway through the

187
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: sixty game season, and the Padres were the big winners. Right.

188
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: I think we tend every year, whether it's the off

189
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: season free agent market of the trade market, to say

190
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: that the winner is the team had acquired the most

191
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: known commodities, and I wonder how many times that has

192
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: turned out to be accurate. I believe between the two

193
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen and fifteen off season, if we were

194
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: ranking winners, we would have ranked the Padress winners. Remember

195
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: Matt Kemp called UM the new GM at that time,

196
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: A J. Pela a rock Star general manager. He brought

197
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: in Matt Kemp, Justin Upton and Craig Kimball and James

198
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: Shields and a few other guys without seven or eight guys,

199
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: and everyone was like, he's rebanking the Padres, and the

200
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: Padres I think won seventy four games the next year,

201
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 1: three games less than they won the year before. I

202
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: would say, what's different at this time, Rob, as he

203
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: was building from sands back then. This year he's building

204
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: from something substantial. For Nando's Tatty is right now in

205
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: the conversation for the best player in the world, and

206
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: he's playing short stuff every day. Manny Machado is playing

207
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: at the height of his game. And over the last

208
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: five years, A. J. Peller has has built quite a

209
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: theater system in the minor leagues, good enough to not

210
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: even touched the top of the system and go out

211
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: and make all the moves they've just made. I think

212
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: it makes them obviously locks them into the playoffs this

213
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: year and a real threat to do some damage in

214
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Did the Indians get enough for Clevinger was

215
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: or did they just give them away? I don't think

216
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: the game away, Rob, I think that when you're the

217
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: Indians and you're dealing with their market, one of the

218
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: things you're always doing is you're managing today and tomorrow.

219
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: The strength of today and tomorrow for their roster is

220
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: they're starting pitching. If you think about it, over the

221
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: last couple of years, they've traded Corey Kruber, Trevor Bauer,

222
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: and now they've made this trade at the deadline with Clevinger.

223
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: That's three very top of the rotation guys, and yet

224
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: they've stayed a pretty strong team throughout. They always have

225
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: to manage for tomorrow. Clevinger was a guy who, even

226
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: before he got in trouble with them, was not a

227
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: guy who wanted to do all. You know, they couldn't

228
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: reach a long term deal with him. They tried, uh

229
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: and look, quite frankly, I don't think people should think

230
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: the only problem the Indians ever had with this player

231
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: was during the COVID nineteen stuff. I think if there was,

232
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: he might still be an Indian today. That being said,

233
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: they decided to try to live in today and tomorrow.

234
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: They got a couple of pieces in Naylor and Clontrell's

235
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: who have a lot of control but will play instantly

236
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: on their team and provide something and then a lot

237
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: of pieces for tomorrow. And for a team like the

238
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: Indians as opposed to the Padres, a lot of this

239
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: trade will be judged by tomorrow, not today. How about

240
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: the Oakland A's. Did you like what they did? They

241
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: picked up to all stars, right, former nineteen All Stars

242
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: to their team, right, But one of those All Stars

243
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: that Mike Minor, was one of the worst starting pitchers

244
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: in the sport this year, and now he did pitch

245
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: well against a very good offense and the Dodgers before

246
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: he before he was traded, in his last start before

247
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: he was traded. And I do think that Oakland's got

248
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: it going on raw they already kind of organization. When

249
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: they acquire someone, I fully expect that player to perform

250
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: better for them than they did in the previous place.

251
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: Whatever Pixie Ducks they have, they are very good at

252
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: taking parts and making those parts aid better and be

253
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: work with their group well. And so it would surprise

254
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: me not at all if that happened. We're talking with

255
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: Joel Sherman from The New York Post, of course, a

256
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: baseball columnists and analysts for MLB Network. Joel, when we

257
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: talk about some losers. The Rangers, it was, you know,

258
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: widely talked about that Lance Lynn, the righting would would

259
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: be available. And I think that they outpriced themselves because

260
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: they wind up not trading them. And apparently the Dodgers, Yankees,

261
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: and White Sox were amongst some of the teams interested

262
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: in him. Yeah, I think we have to look even

263
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: broader than that, rob In. You know, the last four

264
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: years at the trade deadline, as a not very good team,

265
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: they have had one of the better starting pitchers to trade.

266
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: They traded you, darbish right to the Dodgers, and we

267
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: could look now and say that was not very much,

268
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: That was not enough. They didn't get enough for you, darbish.

269
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: They traded Carl Hamiles to the Cubs. The next year,

270
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: they did not get enough. Now last year they made up.

271
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: Maybe because of those two failures, they put a very

272
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: high price on the guy we were just walking about,

273
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: Mike mine or just after he had been an All

274
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: Star in two thousand nineteen, and they didn't trade him. Now,

275
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: is it me or is it uh me and you?

276
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: When I say that the Yankees and the Rays feel

277
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: like losers because they didn't really do anything. Obviously, the

278
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: two of the best teams in the American League. Was

279
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: it cool enough for them to just stand pat Yeah? Again,

280
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: I think I think people always assume action as best.

281
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: I mean, the day the Yankees acquired John Carlos Stanton,

282
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: everyone is declaring them a winner. I think that that

283
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: trade is going to haunt them for a decade, and

284
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: in this season in particular, in the American League. We

285
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: know who the eight playoff teams are today, right, and

286
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: the Yankees and the Rays are both in. And if

287
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: we're looking at a playoff year where there's very little

288
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: home field advantage, right, because there's gonna be no crowd,

289
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: and the likelihood is that the at least of the

290
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: later rounds of the playoffs are going to be played

291
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: in a neutral site. The value of the beteen finishing

292
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: first or with the sixth or seventh or even eight

293
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: best record in the league, it's not that big deal.

294
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: And I could just speak for the Yankees. They're gonna

295
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: slow play. They're they're in. They're not gonna rush somebody

296
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: like Judge or James Packs and are standing back. They're

297
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: gonna like and they're not going to over abuse their pitching.

298
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: They know they're in the playoffs. And it's just not

299
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: gonna matter if you're the one seed or the eighth seed.

300
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: So like, and and in this season that could be

301
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: shut down tomorrow, that Tampa Bay or the Yankees should

302
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: overpay when they already know they're in the playoffs. That's

303
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: a tough thing to tell a team to do, especially

304
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: if you think about it. Next year, we're looking at

305
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: almost every team is likely the lower their payroll next season.

306
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: Right Like, there's no fan revenue this year. At best,

307
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: fan revenue will be down next year, if not non

308
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: existing again unless we get COVID under control in the country.

309

348
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 1: is playing great. He is one of those shining new stars.

Speaker 1: have been more proud of his son, uh following his

378
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: dad's footsteps. And the best part is they say that

379
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: the keep Briant Hayes could be also a Gold Glove

380
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: third baseman. Charlie was an excellent third baseman, but they

381
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: say that his son could actually be even better with

382
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,320
