1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of fair Territory. We are eight

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: days from the deadline, just eight days now, eight days

3
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: before the deadline. That actually is an eternity. So a

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: lot's going to change, I would imagine over the next

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: week or so, but a lot won't, and we'll still

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: be talking and speculating and wondering what the heck is

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: going on. So let's start today with the number one

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: story in the sport. Whether show hey Otani will be traded,

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: I will tell you as of this moment, and again

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: things can change. It's looking increasingly unlikely. Why is it

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: looking increasingly unlikely? Well, take a look at where the

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Angels stand and where they are going since the All

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: Star break. They are six and three, six and three,

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: pretty good upcoming their upcoming schedule. They've got three in

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: Detroit should be a fairly easy series, you would think

16
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: for them, and then three in Toronto. Not an easy series,

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: but you have shohe Otani lined up to start the

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: first game there. So the Angels are looking pretty good

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: right now. They're on an upward trajectory. Of course, they're

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: going to get trapped back at some point. And when

21
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: you look at the wildcard standings, and forget the fangrafts

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: playoff odds for a second, they're fourteen percent. The wild

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: card standings show you that they're four games out in

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: the wildcard Tampa Bay leading, Houston and Toronto are the

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: other two teams currently holding positions, then the Red Sox

26
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: and the Yankees, and then the Angels again four games out,

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: not insurmountable by any means. You go on one nice

28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: streak and actually they're on a nice streak and those

29
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: playoff ods start to rise. So that's part of it,

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: and that's just from the team perspective, from the individual perspective,

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: from Otani himself. Let's keep in mind where he is

32
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: right now, and where he is right now is in

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: the middle of a historic season. This dude is on

34
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: a fifty eight homer pace, and while he hasn't pitched

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: as well of late, he's still one of the elite

36
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: pitchers in the game. So if you're Ardi Moreno and

37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: you're sitting on all this, you're thinking, am I really

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: going to deprive my fans of a potential sixty homer season?

39
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: Am I going to deprive myself of the revenue that

40
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: that chase might generate? Skeptical again about that one. So again,

41
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: things can change in a week, and certainly if the

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: Angels go south, the speculation is going to rise, and

43
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: I expect the speculation is going to continue right up

44
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: until the deadline, because teams will come at the Angels.

45
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: But at this point they keep going, and they should

46
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: keep it going against Detroit, you would think, although they

47
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: have it atwater Rodriguez and Lorenzen pitching against them in

48
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: this series. Well, we'll see where this goes. But right now,

49
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: if I had to guess, Otani stays. The Angels, of course,

50
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: are not the only team on the bubble. As we

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: get closer to the deadline, there are a number of

52
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: other teams as well, still kind of not exactly sure

53
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: where they are. I'm not including the Mets in that

54
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: they are not declared sellers yet, but with the Mets

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: no boss enough already, they are not going to be buyers.

56
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: They're not playing well enough. They are not good enough now.

57
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: I don't expect them to trade Shures or in Verland

58
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: or it's just too complicated, as I've said before, but

59
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: they can do some lesser things. David robertson FAM and

60
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: maybe Josekintana. They're not a team that I consider on

61
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: the bubble anymore. But let's look at three teams that

62
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: I do consider to be on the bubble. Start with

63
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: the Mariners, four and a half games back. They've got

64
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: a tough road here, Minnesota and Arizona both on the road.

65
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: Not an easy situation. This is a team they're five

66
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: and five since the break. Yeah, they're twelve and seven

67
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: in July, but just when you think they get it going,

68
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: they don't. The Cubs are more interesting. Cubs have won

69
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: five of their last six, and just when you thought

70
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: they were done, here they come again. Now are they

71
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: a World Series contender? I would say the answer to

72
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: that is no. But are they playing well enough? You

73
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: see their upcoming schedule not that difficult to force their

74
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: front office to keep Cody Bellinger and Marcus Strowman to

75
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: shame them into it. Yeah, they're playing well enough to

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: do that. In the final team on that list was

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: San Diego, and San Diego is a team that, again,

78
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: five and five since the break. You're not firing just yet.

79
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: You don't know what they're going to be, but they

80
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: still have playoff odds above thirty percent. They still are

81
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: immensely talented and their gmaj Preller has basically signaled, as

82
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: as their owner Peter Sidler, that they're not going backwards.

83
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: So barring a collapse in the final week with them,

84
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't expect them to trade Blake Snell or Seth

85
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 1: Lugo or Josh Hater. I expect them to try to add.

86
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: Now how they're going to do that, how dramatically they

87
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: can move that remains to be seen. But this is

88
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: still a team that has invested in an awful lot

89
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: in the season, and I know the Mets have two,

90
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: but the Padres mindset seems to be different. Steve Cohen

91
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: is basically said, as Mets owner, Hey, if it's not

92
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: looking realistic mathematically, we'll sell. Padres haven't said that. Now.

93
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: What they say and what they do often are two

94
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: different things in the deadline, but I still expect the

95
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: Padres to push forward now some non deadline stuff. One

96
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: of the things about Hall of Fame weekend that is

97
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: so great is that it reminds us of how much

98
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: we love the game. Right when you hear those speeches

99
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: by Scott Rowland and Fred McGriff and the day before

100
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: by the BBWA career excellent swinner John Lowe and Pat

101
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: Hughes from the Cubs The Frick Winner. You just kind

102
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: of fall in love with baseball all over again. You

103
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: remind yourself of why we love this game so much.

104
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: And there was another thing that happened this weekend that

105
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: reminded me again of why I love the game so much,

106
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: and that was being present in Milwaukee on Saturday for

107
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: South Friedlich's major league debut for the Brewers. Now, it

108
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: wasn't the only debut in that game. Alan Wining's made

109
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: his debut for the Braves as a starter. This guy

110
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: was a minor league rule five pick pitch pretty well.

111
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: And then Forrest Wall came in made his debut for

112
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: the Braves, stole two bases, nothing compared to what Freelich did. Now,

113
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: I love debuts, one of my favorite things to cover.

114
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: I've had some fun moments over the years for Fox

115
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: covering debuts, interviewing parents as their sons did some big things.

116
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: Cole Tucker several years back for the Pirates. It was

117
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: the same day that Brian Reynolds debuted for the Pirates.

118
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: Cole Tucker had a home run. I interviewed his parents.

119
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: It was a just a memorable memorial situation.

120
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: Well, that didn't compare even a little bit to what

121
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: Freelick did. Freelick goes three for three, give to the

122
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: game tying RBI, the go ahead RBI, which was on

123
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: a sacrifice fly, proved the eventual game winning RBI, and

124
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: also made.

125
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: Two spectacular catches in right field. Playing in the stadium

126
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: where he had never played before, American Family Field, that

127
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: was just an amazing day. I got to interview his

128
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: dad during the game, Jeff. We had fun doing that,

129
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: and I injured Freelick after the game. You might have

130
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: noticed the gatorade. Yeah, here it comes for once. I

131
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: saw it. Hey, that's moving pretty quick for an old

132
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: man right there. I'm not talking about South Freelic, I'm

133
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: talking about me. But anyway, it was just a blast,

134
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: and again I was so excited after the game that

135
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: we got to witness that. It was a great game too,

136
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: went right down to the end. Devin Williams striking out

137
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: Ozzy Alby is just a blast all around. So South Freelick.

138
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: He provided a moment this weekend, as did the Hall

139
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: of Famers, just to remind us why we are so

140
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: passionate about this sport. Why when you go to the

141
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: ballpark each day. You don't know what will happen and why.

142
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: When you're Scott Roland and Fred mc griff and you

143
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: go through your career, you're not necessarily thinking about the

144
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, but you know what you're do enough

145
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: to get there. This is why we love baseball. The

146
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: deadline is why we love baseball as well. Time out

147
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: for the Inside Dish. This is the part of the

148
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: show where I go inside a story or maybe give

149
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: you some insight into what I'm working on something along

150
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: those lines. Anyway, this week, I want to talk about

151
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: the trade deadline and covering the trade deadline because it

152
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: always seems to me when I talk to fans that

153
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: they're fascinated by this. They're really interested in how guys

154
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: like me, reporters like me, gather information at this time

155
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: of year and report it. Now. I'm not going to

156
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: give away all of my secrets. In fact, I'm not

157
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: going to give away very many secrets at all. While

158
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: saying that this is not rocket science recovering, this is

159
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: baseball reporting. So the secrets at the level of the

160
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: secrets that only goes so far. At the same time,

161
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: it is an interesting process and I'll try to give

162
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: you a little bit of insight into how it works now.

163
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: People wonder how it is that reporters like myself get

164
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: to the point where we can get information. Well, I've

165
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: been doing this a long time. Most of the people

166
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: in my position have been doing this a long time

167
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: as well. I've been a national baseball for twenty three years.

168
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: That's almost a quarter century. And over time, you meet people,

169
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: you build relationships, and you start to talk to them

170
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: and maybe they'll trust you with information. That's kind of

171
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: how it works now. The deadline is a very tricky

172
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: thing to cover. It's tricky because no one wants to

173
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: tell you anything for the most part, and sometimes when

174
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: people tell you things, it's with an agenda. So you

175
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: always have to be careful keeping that in mind. And

176
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: I always try to tell people to as much as

177
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: people like myself think we know and try to project

178
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: that we know, we really don't know a whole lot

179
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: about what's going on about all of the individual conversations.

180
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: We'll catch wind of stuff, but quite often we don't

181
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: get the true story until much later. And I'll give

182
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: you a couple of examples of that. Let's go back

183
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: to twenty eighteen the trade deadline. No one knew at

184
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: the time that the Nationals were trying to trade Bryce Harper,

185
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: the potential free agent. They were talking about it, We're

186
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: talking about it, but the talks never really seemed to

187
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: gather any momentum and it was kind of a non story.

188
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: Well four months later, look at this. I found out

189
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: that the Nationals indeed were talking about trading Bryce Harper.

190
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: They had to trade in place with the Astros for

191
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, but the Nationals ownership at the time said no.

192
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: It was kind of a similar thing with Otani. They

193
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: didn't want to trade Bryce Harper, like the Angels don't

194
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: want to trade Shoe Otani. Yet the general manager, Mike

195
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: Rizzo did of a deal in place. JB. Bekoskis was

196
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: the main piece. He was going back to the Nationals.

197
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: There were two other minor leaguers involved, one of them

198
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: was possibly Garrett Stubbs Catcher. Now with the Phillies backup,

199
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been a great deal for the Nationals. As

200
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: it turned out, they didn't even get the draft pick

201
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: for losing Harper because when they signed Patrick Corbin as

202
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: a free agent that offseason, well, they lost that pick

203
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: regardless That was an example of how sometimes you find

204
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: out things much later. There was another example right at

205
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: the end of the World Series last year. Jeff Passen

206
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: of ESPN reported the day after the World Series ended

207
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: that the Astros had a deal in place to acquire

208
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: Wilson Contraras from the Cubs for Jose Katie. That deal

209
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: was mixed by the Astros owner Jim Crane, and that

210
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: story was meaningful in a couple of different ways. Obviously,

211
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: that trade was very interesting on its own right, but

212
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: also it further exposed the riff between Astros owner Jim

213
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: Crane and the general manager James Click, which ultimately led

214
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: to Click's departure. So we talk about these things. We

215
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: try to get as much information as we can, but

216
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: often we don't have the full story until later, if

217
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: we ever get it at all. Now, at this time

218
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: of year, you'll often see people report things like this

219
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: team has interested in this player. I don't often do

220
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: that because my general theory is every team is interested

221
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: in every player, every available player. If you're a contender,

222
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: you're checking in on all these guys and guys even

223
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: that you might not think are available. Other reporters have

224
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: different views of this They might think there is some

225
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: news value in saying that TMX has interest in player

226
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: why But to me, nothing is really real until there's momentum,

227
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: until a deal is close and when that happens. Different story. Now,

228
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: real time reporting, which has come about with the advent

229
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: of social media, is really difficult, and it can lead

230
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: to some mistakes, and at times I've made them myself.

231
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: The most notable, the one I will never forget involved

232
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer. Two years ago, I reported that the Padres

233
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: were close to getting Max Scherzer. At the time, I

234
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: followed my normal process. I thought I had enough to

235
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: go with that, and obviously I was aware of the

236
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: implications of reporting that and how meaningful it was. And

237
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: it turned out, of course that Max Scherzer did not

238
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: go to the Padres. He went to the Dodgers with

239
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: trade Turner in a massive blockbuster. Now, you could say, well,

240
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: I only reported it was close, I didn't report it

241
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: was done.

242
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

243
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: True, I could use that excuse, But the bottom line

244
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: is generally when I report something as close, I think

245
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: it's happening. It didn't happen. To this day, I still

246
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: don't know why that report proved inaccurate. Maybe I was played,

247
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: though I don't think so. Maybe I just misinterpreted what

248
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: someone was telling me, though I don't really think that

249
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: happened either. Maybe the padres were making progress and I

250
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: caught Windo something but the timing was just off. I

251
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: don't know. But anyway, that was the day before the deadline.

252
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: The next day was the deadline. More was going to happen.

253
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: I had to go into MLB network and do my

254
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: normal thing report, be on television, try to break trades, etc.

255
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: It was one of the most difficult days of my

256
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: career because I was still hurting from not getting it

257
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: completely right the day before. So what do you do.

258
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: You go on, You do your job as best you

259
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: can and hopefully you'll live and learn. And people always

260
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: say on Twitter when mistakes are made and other reporters

261
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: make them as well. Like I said, real time reporting

262
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: is really difficult. You live, you learn, And yes, it's

263
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: definitely more important to be right than to be first.

264
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: We all know that. But it's the time of year

265
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: when people want information, they crave information. We're all vying

266
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: for information, and I've said that the impact of being first.

267
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: I've said this in different interviews in the last couple

268
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: of months is not what it once was. If I

269
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: report a trade today, everyone else is going to confirm

270
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: it within two or three minutes most likely. It's pretty

271
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: rare when you have a scoop that lasts longer than

272
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: that in this day and age. At the same time,

273
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: as I just said, hey man, everyone wants to know

274
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: what's going on, and it's our job to do our

275
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: best to try to let you know what's going on. Twitter, though,

276
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: is only so effective. It doesn't give you context. It

277
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: doesn't really give you background. That is why at this

278
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: time of year, I write probably more often than I

279
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: usually do, trying to give context, trying to explain what

280
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: is going on, why things are happening. No, it's not easy,

281
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: but I love it. I love the action, and I

282
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: look forward to an active deadline. I know people are

283
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: saying this one it's a weird year, of course, because

284
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: of all that's going on. We've got high profile, expensive

285
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: teams that aren't performing well, surprise teams emerging, the sports

286
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: teams upside down. The sellers aren't offering very much because

287
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: they don't have very much. That said, I still expect

288
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: it to be active. It is always active, and I

289
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: will not be sleeping much. In the next week, time

290
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: out for Dude and Dork of the Week. The dude Well.

291
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: I talked about this guy earlier. He could be the

292
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: Dude of the Week. South Freelik one of the most

293
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: incredible major League debuts we'll ever see, but I'm going

294
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: to give it to Austin Riley. Home runs in five

295
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: straight games this week, tied in Atlanta Braves record. That's

296
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: a pretty proud franchise that has had some great players

297
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: over the years, and it comes at a time for

298
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: Riley when he was not performing to his usual level.

299
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he was struggling, it's because ops was

300
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: still eight hundred, but he told me before the broadcast

301
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: Saturday that he was kind of too much in his

302
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: own head. He needed to stop over analyzing, needed to

303
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: start having fun again. And it might sound crazy when

304
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: a guy is performing at that level, a guy who

305
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: had two top ten MVP finishes, might sound crazy for

306
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: him to feel that way, but that is how he felt,

307
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: and it just kind of reinforced me how difficult the

308
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: game is. Here's a guy, Austin Riley, one of the

309
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: biggest stars in the game, and struggles by his standards,

310
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: we're getting to him and I mentioned that to him.

311
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: I said, Austin, for you to feel that way, it's

312
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: kind of nuts. And he said, well, we're kind of

313
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: a crazy breed. Austin Riley due to the week my

314
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: dork of the Week, and this one, I must admit

315
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: it pains me. In April, I wrote a story about

316
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: Jared Kelnick and it was one of the more fulfilling

317
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: stories I've written in a while. He was one of

318
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: the best interviews I've done in a while, just the

319
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: way he spoke so maturely. He was talking about his breakout,

320
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: which at the time was happening. He since faded, of course,

321
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: but for a twenty four year old kid, the way

322
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: he spoke so eloquently, passionately, it was really impressive to me.

323
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: Jared Kealnick is still going to be a guy who succeeds.

324
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: But I have to give him dork of the week

325
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: because he kicked a water cooler and he broke his

326
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: left foot. Jared, I know you're passionate, emotional, all that,

327
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: but you can't do that. Knows all this, He apologized

328
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: the next day. He actually, in his little press conference

329
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: with reporters, was really emotional fighting through tears. It was

330
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: just an awful circumstance for a team that needs him

331
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: to be in that position. He's gonna learn from it,

332
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: of course, but just a reminder to all the players,

333
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: if you're gonna explode emotionally in the dugout, do it.

334
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: I guess like Tommy Canley did it with the Yankees

335
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: and Anaheim the other day. He took his glove and

336
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: he threw it at a fan, A dugout fan, not

337
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: a fan fan, an actual operating fan, one that spins

338
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: around generates air. And at least he protected himself from

339
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: further harm. Jarrett, I hate giving you a dork of

340
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: the Week, but I'm gonna give it to you, knowing,

341
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: of course that in the future you will be a

342
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: strong candidate for Due to the Week again. Looking me

343
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: ahead this week on Fox Yankees at Orioles, and I'm

344
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: really excited about this for one reason. Camden Yards is

345
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: the ballpark where I've worked more than any other park.

346
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: Why because I for so many years lived and worked

347
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, and it's always cool to go back. Now

348
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: it's not going to be so cool this weekend because

349
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be nine hundred degrees in Baltimore, as

350
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: it always is this time of year, and the game

351
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: before the deadline, the broadcast before the deadline is always

352
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: really difficult for me because there is a lot going on.

353
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: Put it that way, I don't know that I'll be

354
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: so focused on the action on the field because I'll

355
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: be trying to figure out what is going on off

356
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: the field. But still, this is a great matchup. And

357
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: the Orioles, my goodness, three or four from Tampa Bay.

358
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: They are on fire, best record in the American League.

359
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: It is just so impressive what they have done. And

360
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: it's going to be so interesting to see what they

361
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: do with the deadline, because, as I've written on several occasions,

362
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: they are loaded folks. They've got more players than they

363
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: know what to do with. They've got duplicates. If you're

364
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: a fan of there saying oh, we can't trade our kids,

365
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: stop it. They can trade kids, and they've got plenty

366
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: more kids left. All right, now it's time for grilling.

367
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: Can for your questions. Here we go. First question comes

368
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: from Jace Bean. He asks do teams get more aggressive

369
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: on trading for more controllable players this deadline due to

370
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: the weaker particularly with Bat's free agent class this winter.

371
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: That's a good question, and it's looking ahead, and it's

372
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: kind of identifying that, yeah, things this winner might not

373
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: be as rambunctious, at least on the hitting side as

374
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: they've been in the past. So Jace really I plawed

375
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: that question. As for the desire of teams to get

376
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: controllable players, that to me is not affected by anything

377
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: because it is always there. Teams want controllable players period.

378
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: They want them this deadline, and I expect we're going

379
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: to see some interesting trades involving major leaguers going back

380
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: and forth with controllable players. It's just the desire of

381
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: every team to have a guy that they can keep,

382
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: not just for this season, but beyond. I don't know

383
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: that the free agent market and the lack of quality

384
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: on the free agent market, perceived lack of quality, will

385
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: affect that very much. Next question comes from Tyler Fraser.

386
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: Tyler asked Mariners buyers or sellers. Great question, Tyler. I

387
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: alluded to the Mariners earlier and I talked about their

388
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: difficult trip ahead Minnesota and Arizona, and it's almost to

389
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: the point with them where they're a game over five hundred,

390
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: and I'm guessing their front office would like them to

391
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: go either six and zero or zero to six to

392
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: get some definition here. Jerry Depoto, President Baseball Operations, always

393
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: one of the most active traders. I expect him to

394
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: be active again, even though he's kind of indicated that

395
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: he might not do much because of the team's position.

396
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: It's kind of an odd position. They're not either here

397
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: nor they're sort of as far as contending. But I

398
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: just don't think the Poto is going to sit still

399
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: and let a deadline pass without him having some say

400
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: in it. He is a guy who might try to

401
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: get controllable hitters for the future. And they've got pitching right.

402
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: They have great young pitching. I don't know that they

403
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: want to trade any of it, but they have the

404
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: ability to do some things because of that. So it's

405
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: interesting the Mariners, because of their great young pitching that

406
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: it's currently in the majors, can think we might contend

407
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: at any point here if we can just get our

408
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: offense hot. Of course, they've been waiting for their offense

409
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: to get hot all season, so I'm not sure what

410
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: to make of them just yet. This week might give

411
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: us some more insight, but I do expect them to

412
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: do some things. And finally from Adam, Adam asked how

413
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: desirable of a trade piece would Jake Croniworth be. Should

414
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: Preller on the Padres decide to sell at the deadline,

415
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: Number one. I don't expect Preller and the Padres to

416
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: sell at the deadline, or at least not outright sell.

417
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: Maybe they trade some pieces trying to create some payroll flexibility.

418
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: Maybe they take one of their potential free agents and

419
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: try to get some things for something else. I don't

420
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: know exactly obviously what they're going to do, but I

421
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: don't see them as outright sellers. Crona worth seven years,

422
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: eighty million. He signed that deal in April, and guess what,

423
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: that deal doesn't begin until next season. He is having

424
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: a down year for whatever reason. Maybe it's the move

425
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: to first base that affected him. No one seems to

426
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: know for sure, but I don't see a team wanting

427
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: to take on Jake Corona awards eighty million, and when

428
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: questions have been raised about just what kind of player

429
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: he's going to be going forward. So the Padres jumped

430
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: on that one. They moved really early on Jake coronerworth

431
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't a free agent until after twenty twenty five,

432
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have deliver this and hope he is

433
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: the player that they thought when they signed him to

434
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: that deal. I want to thank you guys for all

435
