Speaker 1: O man, oh man, did we just sweep the two
Speaker 1: time defending World Series champions. I think that just happened.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Welcome to Boss the Territory. Ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, Oh man, I'm in a good mood. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: it's not every day you sweep the two time defending
Speaker 1: World Series champions, and it's my favorite time of the year.
Speaker 1: The trade deadline is here, ladies and gentlemen. We are
Speaker 1: less than twenty four hours away. The Red Sox are hot,
Speaker 1: the Red Sox are primed. We're feeling good. I'm feeling good.
Speaker 1: You're feeling good. We're all feeling good except for dogs
Speaker 1: or fans out there. What was even the point of
Speaker 1: getting Trek schooble for crying out loud? You still get swept.
Speaker 1: He was in the house. It brought no magic. What
Speaker 1: can you do? What can you do? The Red soie hot?
Speaker 1: You can't stop the socks. But will you be able
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to keep this team going
Speaker 1: here in the second half by adding a little something
Speaker 1: something to this team, maybe even a big something something.
Speaker 1: This team absolutely deserves it. You feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: despite this great play twenty eight and five since the
Speaker 1: Nightmare Flight from Colorado Ladies and Gentlemen. It's their eighth
Speaker 1: sweep of the year, tied for second most of this season,
Speaker 1: sixth sweep in their last ten series. They deserve it,
Speaker 1: but even despite the great winning as of late, you
Speaker 1: feel like they still they could fortify a couple of
Speaker 1: things right to really bolster their chances here. Listen, you
Speaker 1: know it's crazy what's happened here since the Nightmare Flight.
Speaker 1: I mean, we were all done, all right, We're all
Speaker 1: looking you know, Patriots spring camp or summer camp, whatever camp.
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about the Celtics at that point,
Speaker 1: you know, Jaylen Brown, you know, we were all pretty
Speaker 1: much moved on. And now I realistically think you have
Speaker 1: to start thinking World Series here. Why wouldn't you. You
Speaker 1: just swept the team that has won the last two
Speaker 1: World Series and you didn't you know, yeah, sure they
Speaker 1: had a bullpen game in the first, but you got
Speaker 1: buy Yamamoto. You took advantage of a couple of mistakes.
Speaker 1: And yeah, Emmitt Shean, he's having himself a down year,
Speaker 1: but hey, countering him while Jake Bennett has been amazing.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a rookie who's not
Speaker 1: even you know, fifteen starts into his major league career
Speaker 1: going up against I would say, the best lineup in baseball. So,
Speaker 1: you know, and you found a way to get the
Speaker 1: job done here tonight, and you got to be thinking
Speaker 1: World Series here, you have to. This isn't just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, we got lucky. Now let's maybe you know, okay,
Speaker 1: we can make a couple of additions. No, let's go
Speaker 1: make a big move. Go make the big move. You've
Speaker 1: built up this farm system. Now, does that mean trading
Speaker 1: your top prospect? Franklinaris, At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it always comes down to it depends. It's a boring answer,
Speaker 1: and listen, listen. I'm not one of the I'm not
Speaker 1: a prospect hugger by any means. I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure it's a good value trade at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. While I do want them to be aggressive,
Speaker 1: I want them to be smart at the same time.
Speaker 1: If you feel like there's a deal out there that
Speaker 1: can really help you win this World Series this year,
Speaker 1: really go for it this year, but also someone that
Speaker 1: could help you over the next couple of years as well,
Speaker 1: if that's possible to not just help you win this year,
Speaker 1: but we are back in this competitive window now, there's
Speaker 1: no question about it. I'd love for them to go
Speaker 1: after someone that you can have for the next few years.
Speaker 1: Does that come at the expense of Franklin Arius? Could
Speaker 1: that come at the expense of Anthony Ironson? Arius is
Speaker 1: a difficult conversation. I can be sold on it, but
Speaker 1: it's got to be the right guy. Ironson. You can
Speaker 1: sell me on him as well, but you gotta make
Speaker 1: a move. This is the time. I don't want Dustin May.
Speaker 1: I don't want Danny Jansen. I don't want Luis Garcia.
Speaker 1: I don't want Lucas Simms. I don't want that. Go
Speaker 1: out there and go get the job done and go
Speaker 1: land a big piece. Don't get you know, don't get
Speaker 1: cute here. Let's go. I understand. The market's the market.
Speaker 1: The market is the market. You gotta play with the
Speaker 1: cards that are dealt. But you know what, You're in
Speaker 1: a good position here with good pieces, with a good team.
Speaker 1: Do what you gotta do. Listen. I'm pretty sure Craig
Speaker 1: Breslo in that front office they're gonna be up all night.
Speaker 1: They probably got the coffee pop bruin. Where's my coffee?
Speaker 1: I don't know where my coffee's gone. I can't find
Speaker 1: my coffee. I'm sipping the coffee over here as well.
Speaker 1: I'm sicking. I'm sipping on the bean juice over here myself.
Speaker 1: By the way, we are gonna be live all day
Speaker 1: tomorrow on my main channel. Just look up my name,
Speaker 1: Robbie Hyde. We'll be live all day there. It's our
Speaker 1: annual trade deadline stream. My butt will be right here
Speaker 1: paying attention to everything. We won't be live here, We'll
Speaker 1: be live on my main channel. I will be live
Speaker 1: later on after the deadline has passed. We'll be doing
Speaker 1: a reaction show here. So come on out here tomorrow.
Speaker 1: But again, go make a move. No Dustin May, no
Speaker 1: Danny Jansen, no Lucas Sims, no Luis Garcia who I'd
Speaker 1: be okay with the Stephen Matt's move. As long as
Speaker 1: you get a big piece with that. You gotta have
Speaker 1: a big day here tomorrow. They've earned it. Do what
Speaker 1: you gotta do to get the job done. Tomorrow's a
Speaker 1: big day. It is a big day. It's always a
Speaker 1: big day. The trade deadline's a big day. But man,
Speaker 1: you think back here since twenty eighteen, all of the
Speaker 1: ups and downs Man, all of them. Twenty twenty one, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you went on a bit of a magical run there.
Speaker 1: I call that the last gasp of the twenty eighteen
Speaker 1: Red Sox, Right, But then after that kind of just
Speaker 1: bouncing back and forth for a few years, you're bringing Bregman.
Speaker 1: Last year, obviously you make the postseason. Garrett Crochet was phenomenal, right,
Speaker 1: story was healthy for a full year, but you didn't
Speaker 1: have enough to get the job done. I think you
Speaker 1: have enough to get the job done this year. I
Speaker 1: think you have enough to go on a deep run.
Speaker 1: But you absolutely this is a team where I think
Speaker 1: back to that twenty thirteen Red Sox team going into
Speaker 1: that year. Go back to the predictions in twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: go back the preseason predictions. Go see how many people
Speaker 1: put the Red Sox in last place. They were phenomenal
Speaker 1: going into that deadline, and then they go out there
Speaker 1: and out of Jake Peevey, right, came at the expense
Speaker 1: of Jose Iglesias in that deal, right, who at the
Speaker 1: time was a higher ranking prospect. Right, So is that
Speaker 1: Franklinarius this time? I don't know. We'll see We will
Speaker 1: see what happens. But tomorrow's a big day that There's
Speaker 1: been a lot leading up to this point. There's been
Speaker 1: a lot of ups and downs. It's been a roller
Speaker 1: coaster this year itself. I mean, holy cow, this team,
Speaker 1: I'll say it for one more time. They've absolutely earned it.
Speaker 1: And I don't know what else you gotta do. It's
Speaker 1: really sweeping the two time defending champs. What else do
Speaker 1: you gotta do to prove it that? You got to
Speaker 1: go land a big piece and they know that. They
Speaker 1: know that in the front office they absolutely do, absolutely do,
Speaker 1: and I they're feeling that too. I think Craig is
Speaker 1: probably bugging the crap out of people left him right
Speaker 1: out there across front offices, go oh goodness, Craig is
Speaker 1: calling again. Craig has got our got all of our
Speaker 1: phone lines backed up here. I'm pretty sure Craig is
Speaker 1: doing that. We'll see if the results can come. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about the trade deadline. We have quite a bit
Speaker 1: of news to get into here tonight. Those are my
Speaker 1: opening thoughts. It's funny I'm talking more about the trade
Speaker 1: deadline here any other time I am yapping about this
Speaker 1: sweep of the Dodgers. But it's funny. It's just the
Speaker 1: timing of it. Everyone's thinking deadline. But we'll break this
Speaker 1: one down here tonight. We'll go through it pretty quickly,
Speaker 1: and then in the back half of the show, all
Speaker 1: trade deadline here tonight. I do see super chats in here.
Speaker 1: I do see super chats. We are going to get
Speaker 1: to those later on. I just want to get through
Speaker 1: the post game here. I gotta do the post game
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. I know you want to talk trade
Speaker 1: deadline to thinking. Oh Robbie, come on, quit yappin, quit yappin.
Speaker 1: But we'll go through this one pretty quick. Overall, with
Speaker 1: the offense here tonight, fantastic. We saw a lot of
Speaker 1: small ball last night. Right. We've obviously we've been seeing
Speaker 1: that a lot over the last month or so, right,
Speaker 1: executing that very well. But tonight it was a little
Speaker 1: bit more about the long ball. You saw a bit
Speaker 1: more power here tonight. Three home runs in the third inning.
Speaker 1: I've been saying it time and time again. SETI what
Speaker 1: else does he have to do? Listen? If there is
Speaker 1: any kind of a statement for a player to make,
Speaker 1: to say, listen, you gotta start looking at me. As
Speaker 1: one of the top all around players in the game.
Speaker 1: I think Seti just had that kind of a series
Speaker 1: coming into today, ranking tenth overall in Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: in fangraft wins above replacement. The guy's off the sharts,
Speaker 1: second best center fielder in f WAR this year, only
Speaker 1: behind Pete krow Armstrong seven home runs in his last
Speaker 1: fifteen games. Holy cow, this guy is just going off
Speaker 1: right now, man oh Man, Seti Seti. But then also
Speaker 1: seeing some power here from Willier Masa getting into one
Speaker 1: here tonight, Duran getting into one here tonight. You gotta
Speaker 1: love that. But you still saw a little bit of
Speaker 1: that small ball adding on some insurance in the eighth
Speaker 1: inning there. Jake Bennett rough in the early going, he
Speaker 1: was the Dodgers were jumping all over him. He just
Speaker 1: wasn't really making enough competitive pitches. He ended up making
Speaker 1: an adjustment, though he ended up settling down. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that. But Jake Bennett with another solid performance here tonight,
Speaker 1: able to maneuver around this great lineup, ups and downs
Speaker 1: with the defense here tonight, Monasterio, So I'd say more Monasterio.
Speaker 1: There was a ball hit up the middle. Looked like
Speaker 1: there was some miscommunication there got buy him and led
Speaker 1: to some runs with the Dodgers. Right but Nick Soguard,
Speaker 1: Big shout out, Nick Soguard. This guy's a true dirt
Speaker 1: dog man. I love me some Nick Sogard. Please keep
Speaker 1: him on this team for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: He's so good. Holy Cow man out of the lead
Speaker 1: off spot here tonight. This guy just brings a good
Speaker 1: energy to this team, a good vibes guy. But he
Speaker 1: just goes all out. Man. He's not gonna be a
Speaker 1: superstar by any means, but he's one of those players
Speaker 1: you just like to have on your team. You know,
Speaker 1: plays the game, hard, plays the game right. He's a
Speaker 1: good IQ player, great diving play, Holy Cow. This guy
Speaker 1: is phenomenal. We'll talk about it. If you can't, everybody
Speaker 1: hit the like button subscribe if you're new. We are
Speaker 1: trying to get to nine thousand subscribers by tomorrow. That's
Speaker 1: a lofty goal, but we got to eight thousand just
Speaker 1: this past week and we're already almost at like eighty
Speaker 1: two hundred. We've gotten over over three hundred subscribers in
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks alone. I think we might
Speaker 1: have a shot at nine thousand by the end of
Speaker 1: the day. Tomorrow we will see let's get to this
Speaker 1: here again with Jake Bennett. Let's talk about Jake Bennett.
Speaker 1: We'll get to the offense now. First time through, he
Speaker 1: was going a little heavy on the change up, a
Speaker 1: bit less on the fastball, but the Dodgers that they
Speaker 1: were just jumping on him. Second time through the order,
Speaker 1: he actually increased his four seam fastball usage, which was
Speaker 1: funny because he was giving up a lot of hard
Speaker 1: contact on the four seamer. We'll talk about that. Third
Speaker 1: time through, he was kind of mixing around all of
Speaker 1: his pictures, leaning more on the sinker, but again had
Speaker 1: a bumpy time. At the first inning, o Tany with
Speaker 1: a bass head. He struck out pa Hez and Edmund
Speaker 1: back to back. Nice change up to Pahz Edmund curveball
Speaker 1: in the dirt. But second inning Red Sox had a
Speaker 1: two nothing lead at this point Tucker with a bass
Speaker 1: hit te Oscar ground ball up the middle. Again, there
Speaker 1: was some miscommunication there. Looked like a play Monasterio could
Speaker 1: have made. It is what it is, could have been
Speaker 1: a double play. What can you do? Ball squeaked through
Speaker 1: Monthsy with a bass hit Alfonso with the ground out,
Speaker 1: made it two to one. You intentionally walk Otani bases loaded.
Speaker 1: Second straight day intentional walk for Otani if I read
Speaker 1: this correctly, only one intentional walk all year before this,
Speaker 1: and he's gotten two from the Red Sox. Why not.
Speaker 1: That's what teams are doing with Barry Bonds back in
Speaker 1: the day. Goodness gracious, But then has coming through with
Speaker 1: the base hit made it three to two. Left a
Speaker 1: sinker over the plate. After this though, he settled down.
Speaker 1: He sat down the next ten batters. And here was
Speaker 1: the adjustment I think Bennett made. He just made more
Speaker 1: competitive pitches. I mean, as as simple as that sound,
Speaker 1: I just felt like he was just trying to attack
Speaker 1: the strike zone, just trying to throw strikes, and you
Speaker 1: go look at some of the all the hits that
Speaker 1: they were getting. It was like first or second pitch
Speaker 1: of the ab But he started kind of going around
Speaker 1: the zone a little bit more, just making tougher pitches, right,
Speaker 1: just not giving him an easy time to make some
Speaker 1: good contact right, So that I really think it was
Speaker 1: just the adjustment Jake Bennett, as simple as they come.
Speaker 1: Third inning, he had a one to two three bouncing
Speaker 1: back after the previous inning. Right with the Red Sox.
Speaker 1: We'll get to the momentum they gained back there. Fourth inning,
Speaker 1: a few flyouts. Fifth inning, he struck out out Tony
Speaker 1: looking sinker outside part of the plate. Six inning, he
Speaker 1: had a six to three lead at this point, freemom
Speaker 1: of a base hit, but then he gets Mookie grind
Speaker 1: into a double play. Great night for Bennett, solid five
Speaker 1: and two thirds, six hits, three earned, four ks, two walks.
Speaker 1: Messy start, but he settled back down after that. Slayton
Speaker 1: came in and got the last out. Tay Oscar Uh
Speaker 1: with the ground ball up the middle. So Guard with
Speaker 1: a great diving stop. Absolute dirt dog man. I love
Speaker 1: me some Nick Soguard. We got we got uh, we
Speaker 1: got a true dirt dog on this Red Sox team.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the offense the Red Sox. Another good
Speaker 1: thing about here tonight is they jumped out early. They
Speaker 1: jumped out of the long balls came later on, but
Speaker 1: they built up some good momentum here to start things off.
Speaker 1: Uh so Guard with a walk, Setti with a force out,
Speaker 1: but then William with a base hit, Masa coming through
Speaker 1: with a base hit. Two and two and a left
Speaker 1: field base hit. Rafaela around third with fi games first
Speaker 1: run or what nothing Boston two masa. Man, we all
Speaker 1: love us some good old Massa. He's amazing. He's amazing.
Speaker 1: But then here comes durban Nothing. We're not gonna play
Speaker 1: that when we get an add on there. But Durbin
Speaker 1: with a base hit that made it to nothing. I
Speaker 1: love going back and looking at Durbin's numbers since the
Speaker 1: end of May when he got benched for a couple
Speaker 1: of games and he came back. The guy's been phenomenal,
Speaker 1: man like right around a one fifty WRC plus, hitting
Speaker 1: over three hundred since that time. Well, we've already talked
Speaker 1: about it enough. The guy has just had an amazing turnaround.
Speaker 1: But keeping it going here in the first inning, third inning,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers had taken the lead back three to two.
Speaker 1: In the bottom of the second, but here came the
Speaker 1: Red Sox ladies and gentlemen, they said, all right, enough
Speaker 1: of the uh, enough of the small ball. We gotta start. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, well, Set, he's been doing a great job
Speaker 1: at the long ball lately. But Set he's like, all right,
Speaker 1: you know what, let's just keep this going. The offensive
Speaker 1: side too, Satan Rafaela lays into another one deep black Field.
Speaker 1: He's done it again. My goodness, number four in three days.
Speaker 1: Fourth home run in the last three days. Incredible. SETI
Speaker 1: is just an absolute machine. He is on fire. You
Speaker 1: know what. Let me actually, let me look at the
Speaker 1: numbers here over the last couple of days or over
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I mean, holy, holy cow.
Speaker 1: This guy, over his last fifteen games has a seven
Speaker 1: nineteen slugging. Are we gonna start calling a SETI? Barry Bonds,
Speaker 1: Raphael Man oh Man seven nineteen slugging over the last
Speaker 1: fifteen games, seven home runs. Guy's incredible. He's got a
Speaker 1: nine to sixty eight slugging over his last seven games. Incredible.
Speaker 1: But they didn't stop there, ladies and gentlemen, there's an
Speaker 1: ad We're not gonna play it. Unfortunately, we got to
Speaker 1: get the show moving along. William back to back home runs,
Speaker 1: seventeenth home run of the year. Wilson I think tried
Speaker 1: to get in on one. On the next av he
Speaker 1: took a big l hack. He ended up flying out.
Speaker 1: But then here comes Masa again. That one's hit pretty well.
Speaker 1: T Pricefield, You o shit out of the puns. The
Speaker 1: third fifth home run of the year for Masa gave
Speaker 1: the Red Sox a five to three lead, three home
Speaker 1: runs in the inning, but it didn't stop there Duran.
Speaker 1: We all know the tough year Durant's been having, but
Speaker 1: he wanted to join in on the action ladies and gentlemen. Gemini. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: there's an ad there too. Fourteenth home run of the
Speaker 1: year for Jared Duran, his first since July fifth against
Speaker 1: the Angels. Been a long time since Duran's gotten into one.
Speaker 1: But this is what I've talked about with Duran if
Speaker 1: he is a trade candidate. If he is, I don't
Speaker 1: know if he's gonna end up getting moved or not.
Speaker 1: If I were to pick one way right now with Duran,
Speaker 1: I would lean towards him staying. But I think if
Speaker 1: there is some kind of a package out there where
Speaker 1: you could get a bigger piece, I do wonder if
Speaker 1: Breslo says, you know what, this might be the best
Speaker 1: shot at taking advantage of his surplus value, because if
Speaker 1: you keep letting this go on until the offseason, you
Speaker 1: are really risking that there is still a little bit
Speaker 1: of surplus value with Duran. You might think there's not
Speaker 1: there is there is some trade value with him because
Speaker 1: he has a couple of years of control. Obviously, the
Speaker 1: numbers are horrendous this year, but he still gives you
Speaker 1: some pop, as we saw here tonight. He still gives
Speaker 1: you some speed, He gives you that skill set. So
Speaker 1: the projections, yeah, I mean they've come down right, But again,
Speaker 1: the two years of control, that do mean something, you know,
Speaker 1: and obviously you know, maybe exchange the scenery he could
Speaker 1: help him out. That's kind of where I think, Duran,
Speaker 1: if he is going to get moved, I think it
Speaker 1: would be part of like some kind of a bigger pack,
Speaker 1: a bigger deal, like a package. That's the only way
Speaker 1: I think he gets moved. I don't know, we'll see.
Speaker 1: But Duran making it a six to three game. You
Speaker 1: added on a couple more in the eighth inning. Wyatt
Speaker 1: Mills out of the bullpen here, he was a little
Speaker 1: bit wild, ends up hitting Durban Mona with a bass,
Speaker 1: hit Duran with a sack bunt, but then Mills a
Speaker 1: wild pitch pass ball. Durban ends up scoring. Whenasterio ends
Speaker 1: up scoring, you got an eight to four lead. That
Speaker 1: was all they needed here tonight. Bullpen Tyrone Guerrero. Uh
Speaker 1: wasn't as sharp as we've seen. He gives up the
Speaker 1: base hit to Munsey, a slider over the plate. Nine
Speaker 1: pitch ab to Pahes but it was a good slider
Speaker 1: below the zone. But he's just having a great year.
Speaker 1: He ends up hitting a double the left makes it
Speaker 1: a six to four game at the time. Eighth inning Moran,
Speaker 1: Why certain they take care of business? Miran didn't give
Speaker 1: up a double to Alex call I would again, I'd
Speaker 1: like for the Red Sox to look at the left
Speaker 1: handed relief pitching market. I feel like, even though this
Speaker 1: was a lower leverage situation at the time, because he
Speaker 1: had a decent lead at that point. You know, I
Speaker 1: just would. I would love for them if they could.
Speaker 1: Doesn't need to be the It's not the top priority
Speaker 1: by any means. But if they could add another look
Speaker 1: at the back end of the bullpen, I'd be cool
Speaker 1: with that. And then ninth inning, Garrett Whitlock taking care
Speaker 1: of business. Hadn't pitched a few days there, so nice
Speaker 1: to see him back in. But ladies and gentlemen, Red
Speaker 1: Sox win eight to four. Good game for the Red
Speaker 1: Sox here tonight again. You know, a couple of couple
Speaker 1: of bumps. Bennett bumpy in the beginning, made some adjustments Monasterio.
Speaker 1: You know, with Monasterio, you know, he's been so good
Speaker 1: with the bat of late and heck even flashed some
Speaker 1: good glove in this series as well, you know, but
Speaker 1: you see something like that. But another thing there is
Speaker 1: Monasterio and Soguard haven't played too much together, so there
Speaker 1: is a chemistry aspect up the middle as well, you know.
Speaker 1: But I think the Red Sox, despite this hot stretch
Speaker 1: from Monasterio. While they'll take it all day, every day,
Speaker 1: all day, you wonder if they would like to get
Speaker 1: more stability at that spot. I know stories coming back,
Speaker 1: but you just never know. We'll talk about it, ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, we will talk about everything. Trade deadline. Before
Speaker 1: I get to that, let's take a couple of super
Speaker 1: chats here. I know you're waiting. I know, we got
Speaker 1: quite a few here, quite a few. Carl, what's going on? Man?
Speaker 1: How you doing? How can you not get rid of interim?
Speaker 1: For Tracy? He's given a ten to seventeen team with
Speaker 1: no offense. He's now fifty and thirty four as July
Speaker 1: was their best month ever, most likely in the playoffs
Speaker 1: and he gets Manager of the Year. That is actually
Speaker 1: I haven't thought about that. Yeah, think he's actually probably
Speaker 1: a great candidate for Manager of the Year. I didn't
Speaker 1: think about that. Yeah, why wouldn't he. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think, yeah, at this point, I think
Speaker 1: he's the favorite for it. But yeah, I think eventually
Speaker 1: that's gonna come. But obviously it's just that time of
Speaker 1: the year and things have been crazy, and you got
Speaker 1: the deadline tomorrow. I would not be surprised at all
Speaker 1: at some when everything kind of dies down a little
Speaker 1: bit in August. You got the dog days of August
Speaker 1: coming up. I think you will see something around that time.
Speaker 1: That's just a hunch. I haven't heard anything about that,
Speaker 1: but that would sound reasonable, right, you would think we'll see.
Speaker 1: But again you also got to remember, you know, there's
Speaker 1: the whole contract negotiation and everything like that too. So
Speaker 1: but again, once they have more time, I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna take a look at that for sure. Be fob
Speaker 1: it's time for the Red Sox. It's time to take
Speaker 1: the Red Sox seriously as a World Series contender. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know what else you gotta How could you
Speaker 1: say no to that again. You just swept the two
Speaker 1: time defending champs and the American League is as weak
Speaker 1: as they come. Speaking of, let's take a look at
Speaker 1: the standings, ladies and gentlemen. Are my eyes deceiving me?
Speaker 1: Or my eyes deceiving me? Does that say five games back?
Speaker 1: Feast your eyes, ladies and gentlemen. The Red Sox are
Speaker 1: more than five games of the American League East. You
Speaker 1: know what, Let's go back here really quick. I know
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to the deadline. I just need to
Speaker 1: I need to go look at this for myself. Let's
Speaker 1: go what was it. Let's July first? Were they were?
Speaker 1: They were fourteen games back July first, fourteen games back,
Speaker 1: and they're now five games back. That's incredible, Phano. Men,
Speaker 1: you got the division right there. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: see why. You know, obviously they're gonna go for it,
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, you push for that division, it's within reach.
Speaker 1: But looking at the wildcard, I mean, they're firmly in
Speaker 1: the second spot. They are a couple of games behind
Speaker 1: the Yankees to the first spot. The Twins losing again
Speaker 1: here today, the Rangers losing again here today. The Guardian's
Speaker 1: picking up a win, they got the third spot. I mean,
Speaker 1: you look at all these teams, man, I mean the Twins,
Speaker 1: the Rangers, the Mariners, the Orioles, the Tiger. The Tigers
Speaker 1: win again. The Tigers win again. Are they gonna make
Speaker 1: a run without schoobl Please call up River Ryan at
Speaker 1: some point and have River Ryan carry the Tigers to
Speaker 1: the third wildcard spot. That would be hilarious. Please give
Speaker 1: it to me. I need it. I need it. But obviously,
Speaker 1: I mean, look at this American league. I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: anything can happen in the postseason, right anything, So you
Speaker 1: never want to never want to sleep on that little detail.
Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, man, like you know, it's not
Speaker 1: a great American league. I mean, obviously, the Rays they're
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. The White Sox have obviously shown some
Speaker 1: good things this year. We just swept them a little
Speaker 1: while ago, but that's that's an inexperienced team. The Astros
Speaker 1: obviously have a lot of experience over there. I think
Speaker 1: they will be tough in the postseason. If they can
Speaker 1: add some pitching, that's gonna be a tough out no
Speaker 1: matter who who plays them. But you know the Yankees,
Speaker 1: I mean, well, we'll talk about some moves here that
Speaker 1: happen today the Yankees. Actually we actually saw a lot
Speaker 1: of moves in the Ale East here today. We'll talk
Speaker 1: talk about those. But this American league is up for grabs,
Speaker 1: up for grabs, So I agree with you one more
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna move on here, and then we'll
Speaker 1: get to super chats later. It really is a different
Speaker 1: hero every night. Also freaking Duran. You gotta love Duran
Speaker 1: stepping up man. You know, obviously, again it's been a
Speaker 1: horrendous year, horrendous year, but it's great to see that
Speaker 1: he can at least find a way to contribute every
Speaker 1: single night, like we're seeing some bunts the last couple
Speaker 1: of games. So I want to get in here today. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the home run, you know, he's obviously we've just had
Speaker 1: that incident in Sacramento, not Oakland, so you know, that
Speaker 1: was weird, I thought. But he's despite the down year,
Speaker 1: he's doing what he can and I'll respect that. At
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I'll respect it. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting leading up to six pm tomorrow, we'll see
Speaker 1: what ends up happening. All right, let's get to let's
Speaker 1: get to trade deadline stuff. Let's get to trade deadline stuff.
Speaker 1: We'll get to super chats a little bit later. Also,
Speaker 1: memberships are open if you want to stand out in
Speaker 1: the chat a little bit more. Memberships are open right now.
Speaker 1: Get a nice little Wally badge next to your name
Speaker 1: in the chat and stands out in the comments after
Speaker 1: the show as well. So memberships are open. And actually
Speaker 1: I think we had did we have a member? Did
Speaker 1: we get a new member at some point? I don't
Speaker 1: see it. I could have sworn we got a new member.
Speaker 1: I promise I'll go look at that later on in
Speaker 1: the show. But really quick, recapping some moves here today,
Speaker 1: recapping some moves we had quite a few in the
Speaker 1: Ale East. The big one here today, Freddy Peralta going
Speaker 1: to the Rays. Obviously he's had a down year, but
Speaker 1: I think a couple of tweaks you get him back
Speaker 1: on track. The stuff, you know, still look pretty good
Speaker 1: with him, you know, change up still looks fine. I
Speaker 1: think for the Rays that they'll probably tweak a couple
Speaker 1: of things, and I think you're gonna see a better
Speaker 1: Freddy Parolta. So yeah, the Rays they just got tougher.
Speaker 1: I'm expecting Parole to to be a lot better in
Speaker 1: the next couple of months. Luis Garcia going to the Yankees.
Speaker 1: This is a really nice bat for the Yankees to add.
Speaker 1: The Red Sox were in the rumor mill for him.
Speaker 1: You heard a couple of things. You ended up getting
Speaker 1: Curtis Meade. But Luis Garcia is having a career year
Speaker 1: with the bat. Eight seventy three ops, one thirty four
Speaker 1: WRC plus twenty three home runs. That is that is
Speaker 1: interesting at Yankee Stadium. That bat with the power that
Speaker 1: he's developed this year, that's an interesting fit at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 1: A guy where he is put. I don't know why
Speaker 1: stat Cast is showing here that his pull air percentage
Speaker 1: is in the blues, but he's got an eighteen percent
Speaker 1: whole air percentage. That's uh, I mean, that's above league
Speaker 1: average this year. Whatever. I guess it's right in the middle.
Speaker 1: But hey, lefty back Yankee Stadium. Let's see if he
Speaker 1: can keep producing over there. He's done it for the Nationals.
Speaker 1: You know, something to pay attention to. Right, It's an
Speaker 1: same thing with Curtis Mead. You think, okay, well, you
Speaker 1: know they're having great years, best years in their career
Speaker 1: up to this point and then they go to another team,
Speaker 1: can they sustain that success? But with Garcia, I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: he's obviously had a lot of it this year. So
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a good move for the Yankees.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, it should be a good move. We'll see.
Speaker 1: The one thing about the Yankees lineup though, to pay
Speaker 1: attention to, they have a lot of lefty bets. Holy cow,
Speaker 1: like this is like almost an entire left handed lineup.
Speaker 1: That's it. Like insane, you know, Judge hope, you know,
Speaker 1: for their sake, and hopefully he can make it back
Speaker 1: at some point. Right Bellinger, The last thing we've heard
Speaker 1: on Judge is that they have not determined when he's
Speaker 1: gonna be reevaluated next, So I mean, what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: with him? You know, Bellinger's out right now, so getting
Speaker 1: Garcia really helps bolster things for them. And then we
Speaker 1: also had Kevin Gosman going to the Chicago Cubs. Hey,
Speaker 1: Kevin Gosman, He's given us a lot of fits over
Speaker 1: the years. This guy is straight up dominated the Red
Speaker 1: Sox at times. So hey, I am not mad about
Speaker 1: him getting out of the Ale East. I know he
Speaker 1: didn't do great against the Red Sox in a previous start.
Speaker 1: But I am scared to death every time this guy
Speaker 1: took them out for the Blue Jays against the Red Sox,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, no, so Hey, that is great, that is great.
Speaker 1: That is only going to help the Red Sox possibly
Speaker 1: win some games. So but Kevin Gosman heading over to
Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs, I like that move. I like that
Speaker 1: move for them is more of a flyball picture. You'd
Speaker 1: think that should work at Wrigley. We'll see, we will see.
Speaker 1: But good move for the Cubs. I think they needed
Speaker 1: to add some more pitching there, just making sure we
Speaker 1: got caught up here. Also, we also had here today
Speaker 1: old friend Raffi Devers maybe getting some interest from the
Speaker 1: San Diego Padres an in division trade. There's no way
Speaker 1: the Giants move Raffi Devers in that contract in division.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Never say never, right, but you'd think
Speaker 1: there's no way. I don't know. Maybe we can get
Speaker 1: another Raffi shaker for the Padres. There was also another
Speaker 1: report here today that the Yankees of the Padres were
Speaker 1: talking about Adrian Morhon and Will Warren. So I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what exactly the full trade was looking like I
Speaker 1: just saw those two names. Will Warren's an interesting one
Speaker 1: because he has a lot of control and he has
Speaker 1: good stuff. I still feel like he's got to put
Speaker 1: it together a little bit more. But you know the
Speaker 1: fact that they made a run at Morehon there, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: But that also makes me wonder could Warren be moved
Speaker 1: in some kind of another deal. The Yankees have really
Speaker 1: good starting pitching, so I wonder if he's expendable in
Speaker 1: some kind of another trade. So look out for the
Speaker 1: Yankees tomorrow. Brian Cashman is always active, always, so look
Speaker 1: out for Will Warren maybe tomorrow and some kind of
Speaker 1: a deal. And you know, teams are going after Morehan,
Speaker 1: it's going to be tough to get him. Listen. For
Speaker 1: the Padres sake, I would love for them to be
Speaker 1: able to use some of that bullpen surplus to help
Speaker 1: maybe improve you know an area, like you know, go
Speaker 1: get a bat, you know, like I love that for
Speaker 1: the Padres. We'll see, we'll see. Could they even add
Speaker 1: you know, a starting picture and some kind of a deal.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they do have a bullpen surplus.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they tap into that something to pay
Speaker 1: attention to all right, so, I think we've gotten caught
Speaker 1: up on most of the news around the league. But
Speaker 1: we got some Red Sox news here, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: Red Sox news. I know that's what you're all here for.
Speaker 1: At least. Well, we almost got a thousand people in
Speaker 1: the chat. Holy cow, I didn't even see we had
Speaker 1: almost a thousand people in here. Thank you for joining,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Right on time. Let's talk some Red
Speaker 1: Sox here. You're all thinking, finally, Holy cow, Robbie can't stop. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we got a lot of things here today. Alex Spear,
Speaker 1: Tim Healy, Buster Only, Jeff Passing, Kem Rosenthal. We even
Speaker 1: had something from Rosenthal a couple of days ago, but
Speaker 1: he talked a little bit more here today. Let's start
Speaker 1: off with Alex Spear and Boston Globe. They got a
Speaker 1: tracker going on right now and uh, right now. You know,
Speaker 1: we've been hearing a lot about Otto Lopez and the
Speaker 1: latest on him is that they're not inclined to deal him,
Speaker 1: but would listen on Liam Hicks now with Auto Lopez.
Speaker 1: You know I've said before I think this is a
Speaker 1: guy you know that's not Auto Lopez, that is Xavier Edwards.
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me pull up mister Auto Lopez. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about Edwards hear in just a second and two
Speaker 1: so hard. Let me get let me get out, let
Speaker 1: me get Lopez on the screen here, all right, there
Speaker 1: we go Auto Lopez. So that's been a name that's
Speaker 1: been talked about quite a bit. But you gotta think
Speaker 1: from the Marlins point of view, he's got a lot
Speaker 1: of control left. Every day shortstops teams. While it might
Speaker 1: sound like, oh yeah, we'll go get that shortstop, right,
Speaker 1: we're looking for one that's perfect. He'd be great teams
Speaker 1: value good shortstops. It's a high value position, right, shortstop,
Speaker 1: center field catcher, right, those are prime positions. It's not
Speaker 1: gonna be easy to get these guys. And we'll talk
Speaker 1: about some other guys here in a second. But you
Speaker 1: gotta think for the Marlins point of view, they don't
Speaker 1: need to move him, you know, because like he still
Speaker 1: has a lot of control. He's having a great year,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be tough. But Liam Hicks, that is
Speaker 1: interesting and I've talked about it, and I know, you
Speaker 1: know some people out there they think, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be a good fit. You know, he doesn't
Speaker 1: really have a whole lot of pop. He's a lefty bat.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind this necessarily. And also, you know, the
Speaker 1: defense isn't like anything great, but I wouldn't if they
Speaker 1: did get him, I wouldn't mind it because it just
Speaker 1: gives you a little more something at the kecture position.
Speaker 1: It gives you a little bit more bats of ball.
Speaker 1: He's a good ab gives you a bit more variety.
Speaker 1: There a couple of righty bats with their bias and
Speaker 1: won they've gotten the job done defensively and with the
Speaker 1: pitching staff. But I'm not completely against adding a guy
Speaker 1: that fits into the Red Sox scheme of getting more
Speaker 1: bats of ball. He's gonna help reduce even more strikeouts, right,
Speaker 1: I just think he gives you more of a competitive
Speaker 1: at bat at the kecture position. Right. You just see
Speaker 1: it yesterday, you know, Connor Wong. You end up taking
Speaker 1: the lead on a Connor Wong double play. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe man, that would have been you know
Speaker 1: better if that was a base hit. You know. It's
Speaker 1: like so it's kind of like I feel like it
Speaker 1: could only help even just a little bit. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be opposed to getting Liam Hicks. Honestly, it would be
Speaker 1: interesting if they did land him. How that would work,
Speaker 1: Like do you do three catchures or I don't know,
Speaker 1: do you like I don't know, do you move wong
Speaker 1: or nervas? I'm not sure. I'd be open to the
Speaker 1: variety there, getting a bit more mixing and matching. And
Speaker 1: then Xavier Edwards, right, we've seen him pop up in reports.
Speaker 1: I can confirm that there have been discussions with the
Speaker 1: Red Sox and Xavier Edwards. I've heard Anthony Anson's name
Speaker 1: pop up there, John King, lefty reliever, I've heard those
Speaker 1: few names. We'll see if you know. Obviously, names are
Speaker 1: getting thrown around a ton at this time. But I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if the Marlins are open to Anthony
Speaker 1: iinsen because he's got swinging miss stuff. The Marlins they
Speaker 1: look for projectable upside like that, So it makes sense
Speaker 1: Bexavior Edwards, same thing. Bats of ball guy's I can
Speaker 1: thin give you really any power, but this guy's speed
Speaker 1: with the deep bright field, I could see this guy
Speaker 1: having a good old time getting some doubles, getting some triples. Right. Basically,
Speaker 1: Jaron Duran with just like a little less pop, but
Speaker 1: a guy that's not gonna strike out nearly as much,
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a lot more bats to ball. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: savor Edwards, like this is a guy you can put
Speaker 1: right in the leadoff spot Auto Lopez as well, Right,
Speaker 1: That's I've been saying that a million times. I feel
Speaker 1: like someone for the leadoff spot. If you can get
Speaker 1: someone that can, you know, just stop this revolving door.
Speaker 1: Get someone there. I don't know, maybe I'm old fashioned.
Speaker 1: I just I like having a good leadoff hitter, you know.
Speaker 1: I like a guy that can set the tone. I
Speaker 1: feel like Edwards would be a really nice spot there.
Speaker 1: And I know you got a lot of middle infielders, right,
Speaker 1: but with me, you know, that's a guy that's gonna
Speaker 1: give you a pretty good floor. The ranks top ten
Speaker 1: in f War at second base this year. He's gonna
Speaker 1: give you league average defense. But I'm looking at the
Speaker 1: bats of ball, you know, so I don't know. He
Speaker 1: could be an option at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: And I'll even you know, I've talked about Luisa Rise.
Speaker 1: We did get a report from both Mark Feinsan here
Speaker 1: today and John Haman. According to multiple executives. The Giants
Speaker 1: asking price for Luisa Rise remains high. You'd have to
Speaker 1: assume that price is going to come down as the
Speaker 1: deadline draws near. The Giants have absolutely no motivation to
Speaker 1: keep a Rise, who's a free agent after the season.
Speaker 1: John Hayman went on to say Ray's Rangers Phillies are
Speaker 1: among the teams on Luisa Rise. Who prefers to say
Speaker 1: a second base. The Yankees liked him, but I don't
Speaker 1: think they're going to go that route anymore with Luis
Speaker 1: Garcia in the fold. So could he be an option
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox. You're not hearing anything there. He
Speaker 1: the Red Sox had been mentioned with him a little
Speaker 1: bit over the last couple of days. I'm going blank
Speaker 1: on who put that out there? So, but a Rise,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're looking for a guy that's gonna
Speaker 1: give you a consistent ab in the leadoff spot, that's
Speaker 1: an option right there. And then if Roman, if he
Speaker 1: ends up coming back eventually, Man, you got Roman batting third,
Speaker 1: whoever batting second. Man, you got a Rise at the
Speaker 1: top of the order there. Pretty nice, if you ask me.
Speaker 1: I wonder good like we're seeing Hayman saying the Rays,
Speaker 1: the Rangers, the Phillies. I wonder if I wonder, like
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm thinking on the fly here, I
Speaker 1: wonder if Craig maybe sees that, and other teams too,
Speaker 1: not just Craig saying, okay, well, you know, the Giants
Speaker 1: are gonna hold out as long as possible. We can
Speaker 1: maybe put that in our back pocket for now, We'll
Speaker 1: try and swing big and if nothing else works out,
Speaker 1: Craig has shown the ability to pivot if a rise
Speaker 1: is still on the board. Could he end up pivoting?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I'm just gonna keep him
Speaker 1: in mind. Someone to pay attention to, I would say,
Speaker 1: moving on, moving on, We've got a little something else.
Speaker 1: Speaking of shortstops. Tim Healy, mister Tim Healy, friendly friend
Speaker 1: of the show. Let me see if I can pull
Speaker 1: this up here. I am not finding Hold on a second,
Speaker 1: Tim Healy, let me pull this up here. Well, hold
Speaker 1: on a second, I cannot find it. Of course, that uh,
Speaker 1: that article is not popping up for me. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go, zach Netto, Oh, yeah, I was in here. Okay,
Speaker 1: So here's this. With two days until the deadline, the
Speaker 1: Red Sox continued to face a significant asking price from
Speaker 1: the Angel So again this is a little older. In
Speaker 1: their ongoing talks for shortstop zach Netto, the Angels seek
Speaker 1: shortstop Franklin Arius to headline a package that would include
Speaker 1: other prospects. Now, Arius, he had a day off here today,
Speaker 1: so a lot of people were thinking in the early
Speaker 1: going of today, oh, man, are they keeping him out
Speaker 1: for a possible trade. Well, they said it was a
Speaker 1: planned day off. I think with me, with most of
Speaker 1: my answers, my boring answers, I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: probably somewhere in the middle there planned day off. Has
Speaker 1: been playing a lot as of late, has been playing
Speaker 1: very well. But then it's also like, okay, well we
Speaker 1: did have the playing day off. But you know, this
Speaker 1: probably works out a little bit too, because if something
Speaker 1: does happen, well, at least you know, he's not gonna
Speaker 1: risk any kind of an injury, right, So I think
Speaker 1: it just kind of worked out that way. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe they also thought, like I don't know, did they
Speaker 1: look at ahead at this and thought, oh, just keep
Speaker 1: him out on Sunday. Maybe a little bit of both, right,
Speaker 1: you know, just a good if you're gonna pick a
Speaker 1: day off for him. Maybe today was maybe not even
Speaker 1: maybe today was probably the best day to do so so.
Speaker 1: But Franklin Aaris, do you end up moving him in
Speaker 1: some kind of a deal for zach Netto. I've talked
Speaker 1: about this a million times, and I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Jeff Passon, though he had something to say about the
Speaker 1: Red Sox, the biggest name to drop outside of schoobl
Speaker 1: could be one of the shortstops who are marginally available,
Speaker 1: and the Red Sox are the biggest threat to land
Speaker 1: one of them. This article came out not too long ago.
Speaker 1: I believe in the last few hours or so, zach Netto, Otto, Lopez,
Speaker 1: even sij Abrams, the Red Sox have the pieces for
Speaker 1: any of them, and teams are hoping to be the
Speaker 1: beneficiary of Boston's aggressiveness. So again, that's kind of what
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. I think the Red Sox are They're trying
Speaker 1: to look for a big move here. I think they're
Speaker 1: really swinging big. And then you could say what you
Speaker 1: want about Craig, but at least he has shown the
Speaker 1: ability in the past to pivot. Now the Dustin may pivot.
Speaker 1: Not a not a big fan of that whatsoever, but
Speaker 1: He's made other pivots, right, Max freed to Garrett Crochet,
Speaker 1: so well, he got some help with the you know,
Speaker 1: the rest of the front office. But I do think
Speaker 1: the attention is probably on one of these guys. That's
Speaker 1: what I think. Now. I'm not going to get into
Speaker 1: the you know, the details of the fit with Netto.
Speaker 1: I've talked about it until I'm blue in the face.
Speaker 1: The right handed bat, the pop, the speed, it fits,
Speaker 1: it fits Famway Park, it fits into the scheme. He's
Speaker 1: got nineteen home runs, fourteen stolen bases. But yeah, there's
Speaker 1: definitely some some weaknesses here right, lots of strikeouts, The
Speaker 1: defense is inconsistent. I think Craig just sees the profile.
Speaker 1: I think he's looking at the skill set and thinking
Speaker 1: that just fits right. And then I don't know, you
Speaker 1: move him off? Do you end up moving him off
Speaker 1: a short or you know, if story comes back like
Speaker 1: what do you do there? I don't know, but yeah,
Speaker 1: Neto's a target passing once again naming him here today,
Speaker 1: and then he also said here about Abrams, let me
Speaker 1: pull up Abrams and let's see. Buster only had this
Speaker 1: one to say when asked the question, who are some
Speaker 1: other available players you are hearing discussed most by front offices.
Speaker 1: It depends on what you mean by available. C J.
Speaker 1: Abrams is available theoretically, and sure, if the Red Sox
Speaker 1: or some other teams go all in, the Nationals would
Speaker 1: be open to the conversation. Any trade for Abrams would
Speaker 1: have to be a blockbuster. Now, yeah, C J. Abrams,
Speaker 1: I've talked about him. I think he would be an
Speaker 1: awesome fit with the Red Sox. I mean, yeah, is
Speaker 1: Henna Is he gonna be a guy that's gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: hit dinger after dinger after dinger at Famway Park. I
Speaker 1: don't think so. But another one of these guys where
Speaker 1: he tends to pull. But I wonder, you know, he
Speaker 1: could take advantage of all the space out there in
Speaker 1: right field right be a doubles in a triples machine.
Speaker 1: He's got some good speed. I mean, he's having his
Speaker 1: best season offensively, hitting two eighty seven nine to seventeen ops,
Speaker 1: one to fifty WRC plus twenty eight home runs, nineteen
Speaker 1: stolen bases. Any team out there would love to have
Speaker 1: Abrams offensively. Now the defense, I don't know, do you
Speaker 1: move him over to second base? If you bring him in,
Speaker 1: do you keep him at short the defense is going
Speaker 1: to be messy. There's even been talked about him maybe
Speaker 1: transitioning back out to center field at some point down
Speaker 1: the road. So I don't know. Obviously that's not gonna
Speaker 1: work in Boston. But with Abrams, the Nationals don't have
Speaker 1: to deal them, you know, looking at the standings again
Speaker 1: in the wildcard brace, they are starting to slip though.
Speaker 1: Four and a half out, they've lost five straight. So
Speaker 1: now you know, obviously they've lost five straight. Just a
Speaker 1: few days ago there were like a one game behind
Speaker 1: the third wildcard spot. Now obviously they're looking like they're
Speaker 1: in a position to really listen after another loss. If
Speaker 1: the Red Sox make a good offer. They've obviously traded
Speaker 1: already with Paul Taboni. They've made a couple of trades
Speaker 1: now with Paul Taboni right bringing in Jake Bennett and
Speaker 1: obviously Curtis Speed. I think right now you could say
Speaker 1: the Red Sox are winning the Jake Bennett trade, and
Speaker 1: then the Nationals they're winning the Curtis Meade trade as
Speaker 1: of right now. Right so you can say it's even
Speaker 1: right now one to one. Do you make a third one?
Speaker 1: Do you go for a best out of three. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot to give up Abrams. Man, if
Speaker 1: you're the Nationals, you've obviously, yeah, you've been slipping, but
Speaker 1: you have exceeded expectations this year. There were like no
Speaker 1: expectations for the Nationals and the fact that they were
Speaker 1: in it for this long. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But do you give up Arius and that kind of
Speaker 1: a deal. I mean, if we were to look at
Speaker 1: a trade between the Red Sox and the Nationals, I mean,
Speaker 1: surplus value wise, when you consider the projections that Abrams
Speaker 1: is going to give you, I mean you are going
Speaker 1: to be pretty close in terms of surplus value. I
Speaker 1: mean you're almost dead even if you do something with Arius.
Speaker 1: I mean, looking at a possible trade, I mean you are.
Speaker 1: It's like a dead even swap. Because with Abrams, with
Speaker 1: the projected wins above replacement over the next couple of years,
Speaker 1: combined with his arbitration salary going up a little bit
Speaker 1: over the next couple the difference in that is still
Speaker 1: very large, right, because he's obviously one of the best
Speaker 1: players in baseball this year, offensively, fantastic, defensively, So I
Speaker 1: don't know. But then Arius obviously is one of the
Speaker 1: top prospects in the game. Is this a deal? I
Speaker 1: get a little like, this is where I don't want
Speaker 1: to be the prospect hugger. I don't like. I love prospects.
Speaker 1: I do like I love talking about the upside of prospects.
Speaker 1: When you're talking about like your top three, Ah, it's
Speaker 1: like you want to hang onto those kind of guys.
Speaker 1: If you can do you give up Arius for two
Speaker 1: years of Abrams. That's if it's like three years of
Speaker 1: Abrams where I'm like, I think, I think you could
Speaker 1: do that, But two is a long time. But hey,
Speaker 1: before you know it, he's gonna be a free agent,
Speaker 1: all right, So I don't know. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: feel like the Red Sox probably end up balking at this,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's impossible. Does Craig end up
Speaker 1: saying to himself, you know what, let's just do it,
Speaker 1: Let's just do it. Let's get bold, we feel we
Speaker 1: want he said before. If he if he's in a
Speaker 1: spot to make the team better, he's gonna do it.
Speaker 1: Does he get aggressive there? He Hey, he offered Arius
Speaker 1: last year. That's definitely a long time ago. Obviously things
Speaker 1: have changed a lot, but Abrams, I will say, at
Speaker 1: least keep your eyes open there. You're not giving up
Speaker 1: a Arius for Netto. I've said it time and time again.
Speaker 1: I don't think you should. Will they? I don't know.
Speaker 1: The one thing with Netto is you gonna have for
Speaker 1: a few years. Do you feel like his profile with
Speaker 1: half a season at Femway Park? Will that take him
Speaker 1: a step further? And maybe the Red Sox feel like
Speaker 1: they can clean up a couple of things. So, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I do think about like the Curtis Meade
Speaker 1: move right, you know, obviously having a good year, but
Speaker 1: you feel like you could tap into a bit more.
Speaker 1: I wonder if the Red Sox feel the same way
Speaker 1: with Netto. So I don't know. But is it Arius worth?
Speaker 1: That's tough. It's tough. It's tough, you know, because it's like,
Speaker 1: as you see the negatives. So it's like, and here's
Speaker 1: the thing. I'm not saying you got to keep Arius,
Speaker 1: but like I want you to use him in the
Speaker 1: right way. I want you to use his value in
Speaker 1: the right way. Is Neto the right way? I think
Speaker 1: there's an argument for both sides. It comes down to
Speaker 1: what the Red Sox for an office thinks, I don't know,
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like again getting back to the Tim Healy report, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. You feel like it probably would have
Speaker 1: happened already, right, Who knows. Maybe things can change as
Speaker 1: you get closer here tomorrow we'll see. Uh. Buster Olney
Speaker 1: also had this here to say, I feel like it
Speaker 1: kind of went under the radar a little bit. I mean,
Speaker 1: it wasn't like a huge thing here, but it was
Speaker 1: kind of like, I don't know, like I wasn't really
Speaker 1: sure what to make of it. He says here. It's
Speaker 1: not a great trade market generally, but the needs of
Speaker 1: the contenders match the market pretty well. Other than the
Speaker 1: broad need for right handed hitting catchers from teams such
Speaker 1: as the Red Sox. Well, we just talked about a
Speaker 1: left handed hitting catcher. Well, let's see Ryan Jeffers, he's
Speaker 1: off the board, Shay Langlers is out for the year.
Speaker 1: Which right handed catcher could he be referring to? Well,
Speaker 1: mister Hunter Goodman, mister Hunter Goodman having himself a bonanza
Speaker 1: of a year eight eighty eight ops, one twenty four
Speaker 1: WRC plus thirty three home runs and no, don't tell me,
Speaker 1: don't tell me because he's playing at Coors. Nope, the
Speaker 1: away numbers are a lot better. The away numbers are
Speaker 1: a lot better. And I see you with the chat. Noah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to you in just a second. I
Speaker 1: see the name, I see the name. But Hunter Goodman
Speaker 1: is that something that you could look at? Ken Rosenthal
Speaker 1: had this. Let me pull up the Ken Rosenthal article,
Speaker 1: like we go, here we go. We did have this
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. Just kind of backtracking a
Speaker 1: little bit, but cam Rosenthal pointing out here in an article,
Speaker 1: let me pull this up. Hold on, let me get
Speaker 1: this here. Here we go. So we've already talked about it,
Speaker 1: but just circling back. The staring contest between the Rockies
Speaker 1: and teams seeking to trade for Goodman is on three
Speaker 1: Ale East clubs. The Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Red Sox,
Speaker 1: and the Yankees are among the teams expressing various varying
Speaker 1: interest in Goodman. According to people briefed on the Rockies
Speaker 1: conversations but granted to be anonymous to speak freely, The Rockies, however,
Speaker 1: faced no urgency to move Goodman, so they're asking for
Speaker 1: a multiplayer package led by the team's number one prospects Alfielder,
Speaker 1: Theo Gillen from the Rays, Franklin Aarius from the Red Sox,
Speaker 1: and so on. Well, I've talked about this at length.
Speaker 1: The problem with Hunter Goodman. Listen, I want to make
Speaker 1: sure I'm very clear about this. I would love Hunter
Speaker 1: Goodman Man. Get this guy in a Red Sox uniform,
Speaker 1: get that right handed power at Femway Park. I'm all
Speaker 1: about it. The problem with Hunter Goodman it's not it's
Speaker 1: not the player necessarily I have a problem with it's
Speaker 1: it's the serch. You're probably already just he keeps talking
Speaker 1: about surplus value, but it's going, at least right now,
Speaker 1: there is a there are some limitations here because he
Speaker 1: does strike out a lot, and defensively it's not amazing. Now,
Speaker 1: that's not preventing me from wanting to bring him in.
Speaker 1: I would love that power. That'd be great. But when
Speaker 1: you're thinking about it from a front office point of view,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about my own opinion. I'm just talking
Speaker 1: about what front offices think. I'd be shocked if they
Speaker 1: gave up Arius in this deal. Because again with Arius,
Speaker 1: you know you think about the top prospect status. He's
Speaker 1: a he's a sixty grade prospect. He's a plus prospect. Fangrass.
Speaker 1: They have a chart on average that tends to convert
Speaker 1: to around like a three wins above replacement player. So
Speaker 1: you think of the value of a war anywhere from
Speaker 1: like nine to ten million on average your time's that
Speaker 1: over six years. That's a lot of value. But then
Speaker 1: you obviously factor in the risk of a prospect and
Speaker 1: so on. Right, But once you do all the math, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a high value. And with Arius, yeah,
Speaker 1: you could say always a prospect, he's a high floor prospect. Like,
Speaker 1: this is a guy that I think a lot of
Speaker 1: teams out there think that he could contribute to a team,
Speaker 1: a major league team in the next at least in
Speaker 1: the next year. So I think he absolutely has himself
Speaker 1: a pretty solid future. It's the profile with him, you know,
Speaker 1: when you think about because you're gonna think, oh, Roman,
Speaker 1: he got hurt. Meyer hasn't worked out. You know, you
Speaker 1: look at Tristan Cossas, he got hurt, that hasn't worked out.
Speaker 1: But you think about those guys, there is more projection
Speaker 1: that they leave well. Roman, obviously, I think he's as
Speaker 1: sure of a bet as anyone if he's healthy. But
Speaker 1: you think, like Meyer, there was like upside that you
Speaker 1: you could dream about with him right pop from the
Speaker 1: left side, with the good defense, but you know there
Speaker 1: was swinging miss things going on there. You know, Roman
Speaker 1: obviously there is a little bit of swing and miss.
Speaker 1: He's amazing, but you know the health has obviously caught
Speaker 1: up with him here this year and then with Casas
Speaker 1: same thing. You know, just wasn't really able to stay healthy,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's like those high projectable guys because
Speaker 1: haven't worked out. But with Ris he's a high floor.
Speaker 1: He makes a ton of contact, he doesn't really strike out,
Speaker 1: and he's added power so and good defensively, So like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a high floor. He's a good bet. Good bet.
Speaker 1: Prospects you never know, but he's a good bet, I
Speaker 1: would say. So when you factor in that value with Goodman,
Speaker 1: it's Goodman just strikes out a lot, like that's a
Speaker 1: bit of a red flag for the future. I've mentioned
Speaker 1: this comparison before cal Raley sixty home runs last year,
Speaker 1: but the swing and miss was an issue and look,
Speaker 1: look what's happened. You know, everything is just falling apart.
Speaker 1: Hopefully he gets back on track. I think you will,
Speaker 1: but it's an area to and then it's an area
Speaker 1: to think about. And then defensively, it's not like it's
Speaker 1: not j t rel Muto defense by any means, right,
Speaker 1: you know, not Alejandro Kirk defense by any means. It's
Speaker 1: more kind of like middle of the road, more leaning
Speaker 1: towards below average. So I'm not knocking the player. I
Speaker 1: would love to have someone like Hunter Goodman, but value
Speaker 1: wise it doesn't line up for Arius. If they could
Speaker 1: get something done, and the Rockies should ask for Arius,
Speaker 1: they should, they absolutely should. Who wouldn't? But is there
Speaker 1: another possible outlet to get a deal done here? I
Speaker 1: think there is. I mean, if you're thinking about the
Speaker 1: talent that you could possibly give up guys with top
Speaker 1: prospect status, like if you did Anthony Ironson, I'd be
Speaker 1: up for that. Right again, Meyer's hurt, I don't. I
Speaker 1: feel like teams are weary about him. There is upside
Speaker 1: if you could do something with him, that'd be great.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you even do like I mean, he's
Speaker 1: very far away, but do you send them back like
Speaker 1: a catching prospect in Franklin Premira, There is some question
Speaker 1: marks if he could be a catcher long term, but
Speaker 1: he has a good arm, but like still like, could
Speaker 1: that be a guy the Rockies get back for the
Speaker 1: future far away? But you know, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: feel like the Red Sox got guys that they could
Speaker 1: do a deal for Goodman and you shouldn't have to
Speaker 1: part with Arius. But the Rockies again, they don't need
Speaker 1: to move him. So it's gonna be tough. Is someone
Speaker 1: to pay attention to, for sure? For sure? Making sure
Speaker 1: I'm getting all caught. I think I've caught up on everything.
Speaker 1: I've caught up on everything here at least. Uh. I
Speaker 1: will hold on a second, Hold on a second. Let
Speaker 1: me see, is there anything that is come across the
Speaker 1: screen or are there any reports? I always go to
Speaker 1: mister Tyler Millikan, he's great Boston sports. Gordo he's another one.
Speaker 1: They always got the Uh, they're always keeping us informed.
Speaker 1: Let me check. I didn't see anything from Milliican. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen anything from Gordo. Has Carabas put anything out
Speaker 1: you know Carabas he likes to put a little something
Speaker 1: something out there. I mean they're doing a they're probably
Speaker 1: recording their episode right now, so I think that's something
Speaker 1: to tune into. They're probably gonna get that out very
Speaker 1: quick here tonight. So that's something to pay attention to.
Speaker 1: I wonder if there's a little something something in the
Speaker 1: scoop shop. We'll see. Let's get caught up on some
Speaker 1: super chats here. Let's get caught up here, Clarky. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, uh, let me get to I want to
Speaker 1: make sure I don't miss anything, uh, Exton Stone. The
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen Red Sox were never below five hundred. This
Speaker 1: one was until July. But starting to get that vibe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not like the same thing. The Red Sox going
Speaker 1: into the season didn't have a whole there was not
Speaker 1: really a lot of confidence. That was different here with
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. There was confidence in this team coming
Speaker 1: into the season, and obviously things just didn't happen, right,
Speaker 1: and you all saw what happened. But yeah, you kinda
Speaker 1: going into the deadline, right, It's kind of got that. Well,
Speaker 1: that team wasn't as hot going into the deadline thing,
Speaker 1: but they were really good. He kind of all sort
Speaker 1: of similar Clerky from the worst team of Major League
Speaker 1: Baseball to now the twenty twenty six Red Sox. They're
Speaker 1: like Fantos from Infinity War Dreddit run from it. The
Speaker 1: Socks arrived all the same. I was just watching some
Speaker 1: Avengers clips. I think Spider Man came out this past weekend,
Speaker 1: so it's kind of gotten me in like into that
Speaker 1: mood a little bit. Man oh Man man omen. But yes,
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, it feels like they can't do anything
Speaker 1: but lose, or anything but win. You feel like they
Speaker 1: can't lose at this point. Hudson, if you told me
Speaker 1: two months ago this team would sweep the Dodgers, I
Speaker 1: would have never believed you. What a great turnaround. Hoping
Speaker 1: for a big piece tomorrow again, I said it at
Speaker 1: the start of the show. I feel like, if there
Speaker 1: is ever a time to make a big move to
Speaker 1: land a guy that you're gonna have for the next
Speaker 1: two to three years, this is the time, you know.
Speaker 1: We also got a report about Ellie dale Cruz. The
Speaker 1: Scoop Shop had that first. By the way, the guy
Speaker 1: they had, they were talking about that on an episode
Speaker 1: like a week ago. So yeah, I mean the guys
Speaker 1: over at mass Live. I think the Athletic puts something
Speaker 1: about it too. Just wanted to point that out, But
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know Ellie Dala Cruz I do
Speaker 1: Arius for Ellie Dala Cruz, but you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: give up like more than Arius. So so if they're
Speaker 1: gonna want Roman and then like, oh, you gotta give
Speaker 1: us totally, I don't think I'm doing that at that point.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe someone out there would do that.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Red Sox would do it though.
Speaker 1: Next one, Follow the Blazes. This run by Sadaan is
Speaker 1: similar to the one he went on going to the
Speaker 1: All Star break of last season. He's incredible when he's
Speaker 1: locked in. You know what I love about SETI two
Speaker 1: obviously the great play lately, guys just tearing the world
Speaker 1: set in the world on fire. I just love when
Speaker 1: the guy's just spinning his glove in the outfield. The
Speaker 1: guy's just so locked in. He actually dropped his glove.
Speaker 1: They actually had the camera on and I was like, no,
Speaker 1: you can't drop the glove now. But that dude's just
Speaker 1: free and easy man King SETI. But yeah, he's doing great. Paul.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Man? I hope they do. They do
Speaker 1: not overpay for Netto. I'd rather see them make some
Speaker 1: smaller moves to improve the team. And again I think
Speaker 1: they're trying to swing big. They're trying to be responsible
Speaker 1: with it, hopefully maybe trying to knock down some prices
Speaker 1: a little bit, seeing if maybe they can kind of
Speaker 1: wait some teams out. But I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 1: you see a flurry of moves, Like if it doesn't
Speaker 1: work out for a middle infielder, you know, do you
Speaker 1: if a rise is still there, do you go for him?
Speaker 1: Like George Springer? The Blue Jays just got started here
Speaker 1: today they traded away Gosman. Could Springer be on the
Speaker 1: board for tomorrow? Like if you have like let's say
Speaker 1: you end up getting like a rise in Springer, is
Speaker 1: that a bad deadline? Springer who's hit great at Family
Speaker 1: Park in his career, He's torched the Red Sox, right,
Speaker 1: So if you get a couple of bats like that
Speaker 1: where you can fortify a couple of spots like the
Speaker 1: top of the order, and then Springer he works in
Speaker 1: a d H in a little bit of left field,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I thought of this idea
Speaker 1: as well. If you did do something for Hunter Goodman,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like would that I don't know, could
Speaker 1: you do like Duran in that kind of a deal.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Rockies would want him, but
Speaker 1: man like Duran at Cors, I feel like that's intriguing,
Speaker 1: you know, a guy with pop obviously know the whole
Speaker 1: the whole game with Duran has been down, but you know,
Speaker 1: i'd be I don't know, I feel like it'd be
Speaker 1: kind of fun to see what he could do at Cours.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's a guy that could hit like,
Speaker 1: you know, thirty home runs at course. I think that'd
Speaker 1: be pretty fun. I don't know, but like, could you
Speaker 1: do something with like like Iansen Duran and like whoever,
Speaker 1: Like let's say this, Let's say here's the thing. I'm
Speaker 1: not opposed to an overpay. By the way, I want
Speaker 1: you to know that, even though I love baseball trade values,
Speaker 1: I don't need the deal to line up exactly. Like
Speaker 1: if you I'll ask you all this, if you had
Speaker 1: a deal where you could do Anthony Ainson, Jaron Duran
Speaker 1: and like Franklin Premira for Hunter Goodman, would you do that?
Speaker 1: That's a pretty big overpay. But I think that's like
Speaker 1: an overpay I'm open to, you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: like arius, No, I don't want to do that, but
Speaker 1: I'd be okay with an overpay in that kind of
Speaker 1: a way, right. I don't know if the Rockies would
Speaker 1: do that, though, I don't know, probably probably probably no
Speaker 1: from the Rockies. Unfortunately, I need to actually see what
Speaker 1: this looks like. What would that Anthony Iinson, Franklin Premira
Speaker 1: and Jaron Duran. Probably someone's laughing at me out there,
Speaker 1: like Robbie, Come on, the Rockies aren't gonna do that? Well,
Speaker 1: probably not. This is actually a pretty big overpay, but
Speaker 1: like like this is rejected. This is a lot to
Speaker 1: give up. But I'd be fine. I'd be fine with that.
Speaker 1: While this number is twenty five, the Red Sox could
Speaker 1: have a completely different number. They could. You gotta think
Speaker 1: teams are going to have their own valuations. So the
Speaker 1: Red Sox, they could plug Hunter Goodman into their algorithms
Speaker 1: and whatnot, put them at Famway Park for half a season,
Speaker 1: and they could be spitting out, you know, a bigger
Speaker 1: number on their end. Right. So yeah, I mean just
Speaker 1: saying I see in the chat Ad Bernie, let's bring
Speaker 1: all let's bring uh Brettan Bernardino back to Boston. He's
Speaker 1: having a good year. Hey, you need a lefty in
Speaker 1: that bullpen. Let's do it, Hunter Goodman, Brendan Bendino, Iansen
Speaker 1: Premier durand uh again, this is an overpay that I'm
Speaker 1: okay with. It takes two to tango, though, it takes
Speaker 1: two to tango. Let me get back to the super chats.
Speaker 1: Moving on, What do we got? Was that the last
Speaker 1: super chat? That was the last super chat? Hold on
Speaker 1: a second, I want to make sure I think we
Speaker 1: had a couple of members. Let me go back here,
Speaker 1: because if we got a couple of members, I gotta go.
Speaker 1: We gotta play the sound. We gotta play the sound.
Speaker 1: Hold on a second. We still got now nine hundred
Speaker 1: people in this chat. Thank you everybody for joining me
Speaker 1: here tonight. We do have a couple of new members.
Speaker 1: We got three new members. Hold on, we gotta go
Speaker 1: in order here Roddy Rodny has become Roddy Crandall eighteen
Speaker 1: thirty six. Hold on a second. We gotta we gotta play,
Speaker 1: We gotta play. They got old music here. Thank you,
Speaker 1: my friend for becoming a monster member. Who's next? We
Speaker 1: got another one here? We got another one? Uh from
Speaker 1: Joe M thirty one one five Dylan g l Z
Speaker 1: five twenty one and also Joe, thank you for Monster
Speaker 1: member Dylan three new Monster members. Then I do appreciate
Speaker 1: you all joining. You appreciate that again. Memberships are open
Speaker 1: if you want to join. Hey, this would be a
Speaker 1: good old time to join. We are always open for
Speaker 1: the members. So I think, I mean, I haven't seen
Speaker 1: anything new come across here. If there is, I'd love
Speaker 1: to chew into it. Also, the Braves making a couple
Speaker 1: of moves in the last couple of days, Tyler Malley
Speaker 1: and Lane Thomas. Is Alex sanning Thopoulos trying to cook again?
Speaker 1: Is he trying to cook? Our teams out there looking
Speaker 1: out looking at the Dodgers and thinking, oh, you know what,
Speaker 1: we might have a shot here, might have a shot.
Speaker 1: Just making sure there's nothing else, because I hate when
Speaker 1: I go live at this time and then as soon
Speaker 1: as I end the show, something happens or we get
Speaker 1: something across the screen. I don't see anything. I'm guessing
Speaker 1: the section ten guys are recording right now, so I'm
Speaker 1: not sure how much Milligan's paying attention. But Gordo hasn't
Speaker 1: posted anything. I haven't gotten anything. Oh ac I forgot
Speaker 1: to mention. Also another right handed bat are a right
Speaker 1: handed catcher. If Hunter Goodman's not available, could Tyler Stevenson
Speaker 1: be available? Right believed he did he homer today in
Speaker 1: the Reds game. If that was a final AB for him,
Speaker 1: if that was his final AB or final game, that's
Speaker 1: a pretty good game to end a career with a team.
Speaker 1: But Tyler Stevenson, you know, that's a guy that has
Speaker 1: popped up a little bit. So I would imagine Craig
Speaker 1: is doing what he can to try to convince the
Speaker 1: Rockies to give up Goodman. But Stevenson, could that be
Speaker 1: a pivot? And hey, you go back a couple of
Speaker 1: trade deadlines ago, he made a move with the Reds
Speaker 1: for Lucas Simms, So could he revisit the Reds If
Speaker 1: we're looking at Stevenson, he's got good metrics. That's where
Speaker 1: I kind of wonder if he is like a like
Speaker 1: a sneaky candidate for the Red Sox a little bit.
Speaker 1: He's got good exit v LO. He doesn't chase. He's
Speaker 1: still gonna strike out a little bit, but he's gonna
Speaker 1: swing and miss a bit too, but he's gonna get
Speaker 1: some walks and he's really good defensively behind the plate.
Speaker 1: Just doesn't have much of an arm, but he's really
Speaker 1: gonna hold it down behind the plate and also has
Speaker 1: a good pole air percentage. So I kind of wonder
Speaker 1: if Stevenson could be like, yeah, you you go for
Speaker 1: the the big vat and Hunter Goodman and yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: we've talked about it, the strikeouts, the defense. It's not
Speaker 1: like it's bad defense. It's just like, no, it's it's
Speaker 1: nothing great. But I mean again, you look at the
Speaker 1: pole air thirty percent. We know Craig likes that. So yeah,
Speaker 1: he's probably dreaming about Hunter Goodman right now, and that's
Speaker 1: a guy you'd have for the next few years. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but TALLI Stevenson, could he be a pivot option? I
Speaker 1: don't see why not. I think he could. The metrics
Speaker 1: really show I've seen Adley Rushman as well. I don't
Speaker 1: think the I don't know. I'd be surprised if they
Speaker 1: moved him. I really would, I really would. I just
Speaker 1: feel like he means a lot to that organization that
Speaker 1: is a like a tight knit organization. They got like
Speaker 1: a family going over there. I remember speaking to an
Speaker 1: Orioles minor league coach at the winter meetings and he said, like, dude,
Speaker 1: like every one of this organization is just sow together.
Speaker 1: And and you might be thinking of all that we've
Speaker 1: heard that about pretty much every team. We were hearing
Speaker 1: about the Red Sox in their front office saying there
Speaker 1: were red coats in the front office for the Red
Speaker 1: Sox over a year ago. So yeah, if he's telling
Speaker 1: me that, I believe that. So I don't know. Adleage
Speaker 1: just means a lot to that team, and he means
Speaker 1: a lot to the city. I feel like if he
Speaker 1: does get moved, he'd be more of an offseason kind
Speaker 1: of a thing. And if they did move him again,
Speaker 1: getting back to the standings, I mean, like, yeah, the
Speaker 1: Orioles have absolutely had those struggles, but they're two and
Speaker 1: a half out. I don't I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: they're gonna move him. I don't know. I mean, Mason
Speaker 1: and the chat Orioles stink. I mean a lot of
Speaker 1: teams stink in the American League. But they're right there.
Speaker 1: They got a good team. They've got a good team.
Speaker 1: Saying they're going nowhere, I don't. I wouldn't count this
Speaker 1: Oriols team out. If they could add something to this team.
Speaker 1: I think that's a team that could maybe make some
Speaker 1: kind of a run of the second half. They got talent,
Speaker 1: I don't know. But the Orioles they want to compete.
Speaker 1: You can say, if they're not gonna be competitive, you're
Speaker 1: welcome to have that opinion by the end of the day.
Speaker 1: If they want to compete, well, they want to compete.
Speaker 1: So I don't think to me, i'd be surprised if
Speaker 1: Adley got moved. And if he does get moved, why
Speaker 1: would they trade him in division? He's not a rental
Speaker 1: so what are they gonna trade him to the Red
Speaker 1: Sox in division? The Yankees in division and they're gonna
Speaker 1: have him for next year too. No, they wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: The Orioles want to compete. That's the memo over there
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, Land, everybody. I'm gonna wrap it up right there.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap it up right there. I do want
Speaker 1: to thank all of you for coming out here tonight.
Speaker 1: This has been an amazing show. We still got eight
Speaker 1: hundred people in this chat right now. That's amazing. Easily
Speaker 1: one of our best shows of all time. Honestly, I
Speaker 1: mean there's not a whole lot of times where we
Speaker 1: have this many people in this chain ac what time
Speaker 1: will you be live tomorrow. I'm looking at morning time,
Speaker 1: so don't have a set time exactly, but I'm looking
Speaker 1: for the morning. So again i'll reiterate, I'm going to
Speaker 1: be live over on my main channel. I'm gonna spam
Speaker 1: in the chat in case you don't know my main channel.
Speaker 1: I've just posted it like a million times. We will
Speaker 1: be live over there tomorrow, not here. We'll be live
Speaker 1: here tomorrow night talking about the trade deadline, recapping everything,
Speaker 1: but we will be live over on the main channel.
Speaker 1: So yeah, come on out, tell your friends, tell your family,
Speaker 1: tell your dog, tell everyone to come on out here tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We've got a party here tomorrow, and hopefully we can
Speaker 1: have a happy party tomorrow. I mean, listen, I talk
Speaker 1: all things baseball, so I'm gonna be down the middle
Speaker 1: with everything. I mean, yeah, if the Red Sox make
Speaker 1: a great move, I'll be excited about it and have
Speaker 1: they like Dustin May last year. Yeah, I was not
Speaker 1: happy about that move, so I reacted not great fashion.
Speaker 1: But I stay even keeled with everything when it comes
Speaker 1: to even the Red Sox, I do. But like everything
Speaker 1: across Major League Baseball, I am always giving you a
Speaker 1: down the middle take to the best of my ability.
Speaker 1: We'll be doing that tomorrow. So if you want the
Speaker 1: best in my I mean whatever. Maybe I'm biased, but
Speaker 1: I feel like I give very realistic trade analysis. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like if you need, if you
Speaker 1: need help breaking down the trades as they happen tomorrow,
Speaker 1: I think I can help you out. So Trek Scooble,
Speaker 1: what do I think about the Terrek Schooble trade? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that definitely leans a little bit towards the Dodgers in
Speaker 1: terms of surplus value. I'm not completely I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not completely turned off about what the Tigers got.
Speaker 1: I like what the Tigers got back. I think they
Speaker 1: could have gotten a little bit more. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's this crazy fleece that people are saying out there.
Speaker 1: River Ryan, I think he's got a lot of talent.
Speaker 1: He's just got to stay healthy. That's the big thing
Speaker 1: with him. If they can keep him healthy, that's a
Speaker 1: good get zire. Hope they can clean up a little
Speaker 1: bit more of that plate discipline with him. That's a
Speaker 1: guy with a good amount of power upside. I like that.
Speaker 1: And then Brady Smith, you know, that's a guy with
Speaker 1: good strikeout numbers in the lower levels of the minor
Speaker 1: leagues right now, do I feel like they could have
Speaker 1: should have pushed for a little bit more. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you can make that argument. I don't think it
Speaker 1: was a complete fleece by any means. I've seen videos
Speaker 1: out there saying the Dodgers fleeced the Tigers. I think
Speaker 1: that word is thrown around way too much, very irresponsibly.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I'm shy, uh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't like using that now. I'll tell you if
Speaker 1: it's like kind of a lopside of trade, but I
Speaker 1: don't think that one was as lopsided as it as
Speaker 1: people might think. So anyway, that is all I got.
Speaker 1: That is all we got here, ladies and gentlemen. We've
Speaker 1: been here for almost an hour and a half. I'm
Speaker 1: wrapping it up right there. If you come of the
Speaker 1: way out, everybody, hit the like button, subscribe if you're new,
