1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: He brings just a lot of things to the table

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: that the Red Sox need right now. They need that

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: balance in the lineup. They also need a little bit

4
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: better defense in the infield as well.

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 2: You know how many news shows or total shows we're

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,159

Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like exactly the puffy jacket you would expect

Speaker 5: I don't know.

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, but you're taking it off.

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 3: Well now now we made youself conscious about your jacket.

00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 5: on your face.

26
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: It is like a high of forty seven today here,

27
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 3: which is precoculous.

28
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I don't like to talk about the

29
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: weather all day long, but it is quite cold in

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: all parts of the Northeast or the East coast, I

31
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: should say in different ways. But we're about to be

32
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: up north. We both have flights later. Sadly Saturday. Mark

00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: your calendars while you're inside freezing your butt off. Seven

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: talking to Baseball Royalty.

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 5: What time do I have to be there?

36
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 2: I don't know. Six, Okay, actually maybe a little before six,

37
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: because we'll probably going to get five.

38
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 3: Because I was thinking, like I had to be there

39
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: like three.

40
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: No, no, no, we're getting fair with that. Some TV

41
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 2: places in the past would have big events and they'd

42
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: be like, you have to be here eight hours before.

43
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, you need me there eight hours before, Like

44
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be tired by the time we want to

45
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: go on air. So no, we're pretty fair with that

46
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,240

00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: am excited about going to the awards show. I'm just

60
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: not excited about the cold weather y'all have up there.

61
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: Like I can't wait to get to New York and

62
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: do the awards and do that whole thing and get

63
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: to walk around New York for three days and have

64
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: a great time. Mark's even buying dinner, which is like

00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: wait to get up there and.

67
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: Find Mark always buys dinner. You don't ever, you don't

68
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: ever come to our events.

69
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 5: Oh maybe that's why I didn't know.

70
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: Man, it was weird. I was in Borgado last week.

71
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 3: I swear it Mark didn't buy But that's weird.

72
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: I think you did.

73
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: I was too busy winning. I was too busy winning

74
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 3: poker turn Sorry, I'm sorry about that.

75
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: Busy winning a meal. Yes, we catered a meal. We

76
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: we feed our people. All right, let's starry we got.

77
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: Before we go on. Chrosch was talking about more people

78
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: needing to know about the awards thing.

79
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 5: Right.

80
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: I saw something on Twitter today. I think Claudia has

81
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: the picture of it, and I think it fits perfectly

82
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: for what he just said about not enough people knowing

83
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: about stuff? Can we can we show that the picture

84
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: of Lindor Francisco indoor. Did you see this photo? It's unbelievable.

85
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a fashion week okay. If Lebron James,

86
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: if Tom Brady was there, there would be wall to

87
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: wall coverage. I barely saw this. I only saw it

88
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: because it's a badass picture of them into.

89
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, no doubt.

90
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: How does MLB not have that post it?

91
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: That should be every did post it?

92
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 5: Yeah?

93
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: But I mean it should be blasted everywhere.

94
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: This is a bigger problem.

95
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: With us, That's what I'm saying. Like the same with

96
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: the BBWAA thing that we're doing on Saturday. It should

97
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 3: be blasted everywhere. Now, we're helping to blast it on Saturday.

98
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 3: But the fact that one of our biggest stars in

99
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: baseball was that fashion Week in Paris, and I only

100
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 3: know because I was fortunate to scroll across it on Twitter,

101
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: that's wrong. There's some wrong with that. You think if

102
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: Lebron James wasn't there taking that picture, that wouldn't it

103
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: would have been on every channel everywhere.

104
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: Very different league approach. Okay, I'm just saying, NBA lets

105
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: everyone use all of their highlights. NBA considers players partners.

106
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: It's very, very different. The way that they run their league.

107
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: NBA and MLB are opposite. The way that they have

108
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: run their league in the past fifteen years is completely

109
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: opposite in terms of business media, it's time, et cetera.

110
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: Just letting you know, but we're gonna give this thing

111
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: the attention that it deserves. And a also one of

112
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: a friend of the show just signed let's charge.

113
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 5: Charge a.

114
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: Friend of the show, Paul Stewalt and known nice guy

115
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: in MLB, because you know he's up there in that category.

116
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 2: When you see people actually tweet that, I saw some

117
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: people be like one of the nicest guys in the league,

118
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: and I do fullheartedly agree with that if that was

119
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: a word. Seven million dollars over one season to the

120
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: Cleveland Guardians. The Cleveland Guardians spending a little dough And

121
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: if I recall aj, their bullpen was pretty damn good

122
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: last year. So this helps.

123
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 5: What helps because a lot of their bullpen was young.

124
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 5: Plus they lost a couple of those guys would they

125
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 5: lose They.

126
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: Traded away Eli Morgan right right right, and the other

127
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: they lost the other guy to Esque. Oh my gosh,

128
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: does it starts with an s. Sandlan like that?

129
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: Nick Allen nick Clan.

130
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, So they lost those two guys, so they needed

131
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 3: a righty. And the other thing you have to understand

132
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: about bullpens is their guys were young last year other

133
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: than Class A, and so they're bullpens kind of go

134
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: like this. You're never going to have a historic bullpen

135
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: like they did last year forever. So I think this

136
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 3: is a great signing for the Garden. It brings in

137
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: a veteran guy who has closing experience of God forbid,

138
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: So appams a Class A. He can pitch the seventh, eighth, ninth,

139
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 3: whatever you need him to pitch. And he's a veteran

140
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: guy to stick down there to talk to these guys.

141
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: So I love this signing and seven million, good for you, Paul, yep, easy.

142
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 4: That's an easy signing for me. Unfortunately, Cleveland's not going

143
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: out and getting those big bats. They brought back Santana,

144
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 4: but they were never going to make a big move.

145
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just Cleveland's mo besides the Edwin, Edwin

146
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 4: and Carnacion signing back in fifteen sixteen somewhere in there.

147
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 4: You know, they never make the big move unless it's

148
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 4: a trade. And I like when good teams double down

149
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 4: on what they did really well. If you have good defense,

150
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 4: a add to it, add a goal Glover at a

151
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: platinum Glover, and to me, I think they had an

152
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 4: incredible bullpen and his veteran leadership. He's been to the playoffs,

153
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 4: He's pitched in big games. He's had success in big

154
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: games and failures in big games. So I think he's

155
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 4: a great addition to that group.

156
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: So last year, Seawald had a four to three to

157
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: one E ninety eight RA plus. The RA is not

158
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: everything for relievers. We talked to Griffin Jacks about that

159
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: in yesterday's show. The thing that stands out to me

160
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: for Seawald is that he did hit a pretty big

161
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: speed bump last year around July, so you're like, ah, man,

162
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: what happened. But it's one thing if you see a

163
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: reliever pop up and have a bad year overall, never

164
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: really shine. His first eighteen appearances last year produced an

165
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: five to four era. He was eleven for eleven for

166
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: saves through June. So for me, I'm usually like, you

167
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: got off kilter. Cleveland sees something thinks that they can

168
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: get him back on track from what happened at the

169
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: second half of the season, So I'm like, good signing. Yeah,

170
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: you know, it'sund like you looked at him last year

171
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: and they can fix them.

172
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: They can fix them though, because Cleveland has a history

173
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 3: of kind of fixing guys a little bit, so especially

174
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: bullpen guys.

175
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 5: So I love that Carl Willis is great there.

176
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: Stephen Vote gets it. Stephen Vote probably knows him from

177
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: Seattle days. It's never guess Steven Vote was in Seattle

178
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: when Seawall was playing there.

179
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 5: So I love this signing for the Guardians. I think

180
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 5: it's a good one.

181
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 2: Where are we at on the Guardians. We haven't talked

182
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: about them a lot this offseason. They did have you know,

183
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: arguably the best bullpen in baseball last year. Maybe not

184
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: even that much of an argument. And I know you

185
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: mentioned a couple guys gone, but most of their big

186
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: boys are there and are young. You know. Obviously Kate

187
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: Smith and his fastball ridiculous Class A is still a stud.

188
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: You add see Waalds. There are a lot of names

189
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: in that bullpen that really stand out. So do we

190
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: feel like the Guardians are still the team to beat

191
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: in the American League Central?

192
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 5: No?

193
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: No, No, I think the Royals.

194
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 4: I think the Royals are the team to beat. I

195
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 4: think the Tigers and Guardians. You wonder if they can

196
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 4: capture what they had last year? Can they go a

197
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 4: whole because because the the rhetoric behind them is, oh,

198
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 4: that bullpen unbelievable. The bullpen pushed him. Can you push

199
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: the same group of guys, same with the Tigers too,

200
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 4: Can you push the same group of guys to make

201
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 4: another run like that? Can Carlos Santana step up for

202
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: what Josh Naylor? Josh Nayler didn't only have good numbers, clutch,

203
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 4: he had clutch homers. He had so much Any big

204
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: RBIs for this team, Who's gonna step up?

205
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 5: And be that.

206
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 4: Protection for Jose Ramirez who down the stretch kind of

207
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 4: you know, for Jose Ramira's style, he slumped a little bit.

208
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 5: But I just feel like there's too much.

209
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 4: It's too there's too it's too tenuous to be able

210
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 4: to say, oh, yeah, we're gonna we're gonna definitely repeat

211
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 4: what we did after.

212
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 5: I think the Royals have improved.

213
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 4: I know they got rid of Singer, but I think

214
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 4: they improved an area that they needed to improve in

215
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,599
Speaker 4: with getting India. And I think it's to me, I

216
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 4: think it's a Royals division because Bobby WIT's only going

217
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 4: to get better because he's still super young.

218
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: That's true level for Bobby Whitt.

219
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: There is, but I just don't know that again, Seth

220
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: Lugo is going to have the same year, right. I

221
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: mean there's a lot, there's a lot that goes into it.

222
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: I love where the Royals around and the hell they've done.

223
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: They spent some money and done some things. The Tigers

224
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: to me, are the team that should be taken that

225
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: next step, and they didn't go out and sign it

226
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: to people that they needed to sign so far, So

227
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: to me, I think they're missing the boat. Now, what

228
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: will the Twins. Let's not forget the Twins had a

229
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: lead in this division and were right there until the end.

230
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: They kind of choked it at the end and then

231
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: it kind of took it. They did choke it at

232
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 3: the end. So the Twins still believe.

233
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 5: In what they have.

234
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: They didn't have the division, the playoff's division whatever. They

235
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: playoff for a while with the Guardians too.

236
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 3: They were close, right, so they had a chance and

237
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: then they choked it away. So will they step up

238
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: and make a signing here at the end of late

239
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: night Twins kind of under the radar signing.

240
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 5: I don't know.

241
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 3: I know this for a fact. There's one team in

242
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: that division that ain't winning it. There's four other ones

243
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: that have an opportunity, but there's one in that division

244
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 3: that is not winning that division.

245
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: They don't like the Tigers.

246
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: I just said, the Tigers need to take that next step.

247
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm gonna do this here. If

248
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 2: this is okay, just baby signing. John Birnie signed. He

249
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 2: got major league money. Did you see that?

250
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 5: Yeah? Good for him.

251
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 2: He's a Cub.

252
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: He's their big move. They're in the eighth inning right now.

253
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: The Cubs offseason. They got Kyle Tucker and John Birdie.

254
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: They're in the mix for a lot of relievers. We'll

255
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: get to that actually in spreading rumors next. But two

256
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: million dollar base salary up to one point three million

257
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 2: in incentives, need depth.

258
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 3: Good for him big league, Yeah, a lot of positions,

259
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 3: Concilia Bass it's good, good, good pick up for the Cubs.

260
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 4: Surplus value create surplus value, definitely. I was gonna say

261
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 4: created surplus value, but he also created his career. He

262
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 4: wasn't getting a much many opportunities, kind of squandering in

263
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 4: the minor leagues a little bit, and then he finally

264
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 4: got his opportunity as an older player, and he's stuck

265
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 4: and been I know, he's hurt. Last year, probably would

266
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: have won the World Series had had he been healthy

267
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 4: for the whole wait. He did play in the playoffs,

268
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 4: but then they benched him.

269
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, picked up a half a win of Baseball Reference

270
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: war in twenty five games last year with the Yankees.

271
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: So I'm sure their projection model has him as a

272
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: whatever two win player if he plays a full season,

273
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: and so they're going there's.

274
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 5: Also a thing called overexposure two wins.

275
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: If we value we win.

276
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 5: It at ten.

277
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: Over exposure. I mean, I know he no, he knows

278
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: his role, he's yeah. I mean I hate what you

279
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: can't project that out because if you had the same guy.

280
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: Sometimes guys that played twenty five games and do great,

281
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: if they have to play one hundred and twenty five,

282
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: guess what crafts they figure out you can't hit the slider,

283
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: but they figure out that something about you. Whereas if

284
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 3: you come in for them and you're hitting eight in

285
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: the bottom of the order and you're like, oh, there's

286
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 3: this guy. We don't really know much about him, even

287
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 3: if you're a veteran guy, because the crawts will tell you.

288
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: There's times as the catcher and as the pit you're like, ah,

289
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: Eric Krautz is up just throwing sliders down the way.

290
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: If we have to throw fastball, you know, just make

291
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: sure he can't hit it or whatever. You don't you

292
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 3: just go all right, next, let's think about it, right right, Like,

293
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 3: there are times and that's where you can as a

294
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 3: bench player, you can kind.

295
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 5: Of sneak attack some guys sometimes.

296
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 4: That's why it's smart smarter older players, not young prospects

297
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 4: coming to sit on a bench. They don't understand that

298
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 4: guys are going to do that. That is I mean,

299
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 4: I can I can show you so many of my highlights.

300
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 4: There's very few highlights of my big league career. Most

301
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 4: of them are exact situations that you talked about AJ, Like,

302
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 4: you know, we just got to get through this eight

303
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 4: to nine hitter Kratz back Homer.

304
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 5: Dang it, I should have paid a little more attention.

305
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: Spighting rumors. Sadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney from The Athletic,

306
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: along with the hosts their dual role as North Side

307
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: Territory hosts, posted about the Cubs interest in a number

308
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: of different relievers. Chandler Rome quote tweeted them, said, the

309
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: Cubs are among the teams that have shown interest, inquire, acquiring.

310
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: I can't talk today, Ryan Presley, I'm too cold. Who

311
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: is still being very actively shopped by the stid Astros.

312
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: Other names, I don't want it. I'm not asking for it.

313
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 3: That name Electric Bough, I'm not turning on the heat.

314
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: Other names being mentioned for the Cubs Kenley Jansen, David Robertson,

315
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: basically every reliever on the market, philm Ayton, Ryan Stanik

316
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: Brooks Rally. I do think the Astros are going to

317
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: end up trading Ryan Presley.

318
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 5: He's valuable right now.

319
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: They're just gonna have to eat a little bit of money,

320
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: not a lot, maybe a few millions, because.

321
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: If you look at if he was on the free

322
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: agent market, he'd probably get more than what he would

323
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 3: get for one year. So I don't necessarily agree with that.

324
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: You think they'll just be able to trade him straight.

325
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: I think if they find the right trade partner, they

326
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: should be able to. But why are they trading them?

327
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: Why don't they just write it out one more year?

328
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: Trying to maintain their budget?

329
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 3: Come on, what you make thirteen this year?

330
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: I think it's fourteen coming up?

331
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 5: Oh? Sorry, one? I think it's fourteenth.

332
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: Okay, excuse me.

333
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 5: Sorry.

334
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 3: That one million is really going to put Jim Crane

335
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: out of business if they have to eat, If they

336
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: have to eat some of that money, I think I

337
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: think the market is broken.

338
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't I don't see why. I

339
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 4: don't see why Ryan Presley would have to make less

340
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 4: than fourteen million.

341
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: Would you rather have him or or I'll just Chapman.

342
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: I don't think it's closed. Yeah, I take Presley. So

343
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: Chapman got a little under eleven and Presley's due to

344
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: make fourteen. I mean, what are we doing here? Good picture?

345
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 5: Surplus value?

346
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: And and oh if the playoffs.

347
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 5: Come along, don't have any surplus value.

348
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: Now, if the playoffs come along, check out the track record?

349
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah pretty good? All right? Next up, the Reds are

350
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: talking to Carlos to Steves. It sounded like the Blue

351
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: Jayson Cubs have been interested in him as well as

352
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: most people should be interested in a Stebs fifty seven

353
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: saves the past couple of seasons. I like that for Cincinnati.

354
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 5: I love that for Cincinnati.

355
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love one comment.

356
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 5: I love it.

357
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: One comment was like they already have Alexis Dz.

358
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 5: I'm like, so what, so what? I love this? Are

359
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 5: you kidding?

360
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: Guys? You need to stop.

361
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: Anti has a great opportunity this year with Tito coming in,

362
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 3: kind of like what Cleveland did. When Cleveland brought in Tito,

363
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 3: they actually did spend. They brought in Swisser. Remember, they

364
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 3: brought in some other guys to try to make that

365
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: team better that year when Tito was there, they tried

366
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 3: to sign me and I didn't end up going there

367
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: because I was like, what happened?

368
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 5: Eh?

369
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 3: I ended up in Texas, I think which worked out

370
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 3: better for me. Yes, but they got yeah exactly, I

371
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 3: got young.

372
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: Hold up, but I'm just saying, huh, you were like

373
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: Dallas or Cleveland? Is that what happened?

374
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: No, No, it was. There was way more though, but whatever.

375
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: But I love this because you know, you get Tito,

376
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: you gonna get Brady Singer. Okay, right, You're allegedly gonna

377
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 3: have McClean back. You're gonna have all the young kids

378
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 3: coming up, all the guys off totally suspensions, a lot

379
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: of arms, keeps healthy, okay, and then if you can

380
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 3: get another bullpen piece and Carlos and Stevens who has

381
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: great track record of closing games out and is pitching

382
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 3: the postseason, go do this Cincinnati, please now, like you

383
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 3: just be done already because you have a chance to

384
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 3: win the division because the Brewers have gotten worse. I

385
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: think we all agree the Cubs haven't made the moves

386
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 3: to take them.

387
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: Huh.

388
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean they haven't. There were eight, you know,

389
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 3: but I don't have they taking a large enough steps exactly.

390
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 3: The Pittsburgh still Pittsburgh. I mean, I love this one

391
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 3: for Cincinnati. You like the Reds this year, don't you,

392
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 3: I pick the reds of wind last year they.

393
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 4: Okay, My only fear, my only fear with Carlos Estevan

394
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 4: is not the strikeouts, for the role that he's going

395
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: to be playing in and in that division, I mean,

396
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: in that in that field at Great American Small Park.

397
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 4: Little fear full of that. But to me, you add

398
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 4: and I would go and what Aj said, I completely

399
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 4: agree with everything except for he said for this year.

400
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 4: They have an opportunity to win for quite a few years,

401
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 4: in my opinion, and adding a Carlos to Stevez if

402
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 4: it's on a one year deal, if he's a guy

403
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: that you can get for two years, like this is

404
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 4: how they have to be thinking because their window is

405
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 4: now and their window to me is probably like a

406
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 4: three year window.

407
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 2: Can I counter your point on a Stebez because I've

408
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 2: seen quite a few write ups that are like, well,

409
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: a strikeout numbers are down, agreed, But he doesn't walk anyone.

410
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: And if you're in Cincinnati, can not put players on

411
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 2: or runners on base, right, you cannot walk dude. Three

412
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: passes in Cincinnati gets.

413
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 3: Big outs too, and he's done it for this isn't

414
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: a one hit guy, one year guy.

415
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 5: He's done it.

416
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: He's gonna give up some contact. Okay, fine, he's not.

417
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: He's not going to get the Tanner Scots.

418
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: So does Edwin Diaz, and he strikes out the world,

419
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: but he still gives up contact after walking three guys

420
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: and gives up a home or sometimes. I mean stuff

421
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: like that happened. Yeah, Craig Kimberl forever. That's why he

422
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 3: was so great. He struck everybody out when he started

423
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 3: walking guys and took one hit and he blew a.

424
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: C I think some Philly fans thought he was going

425
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 2: to be like invincible, right.

426
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 5: It's good for them though.

427
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: He was good, but he wasn't amazing.

428
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 4: Right that well, I mean compared to who he was

429
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 4: putting a bullpen with. I think they thought they were

430
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 4: getting like a lockdown closer. But when you're comparing them

431
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 4: to Strom and Hoffman, like dudes weren't giving up runs

432
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 4: for like entire months at a time.

433
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 5: He's not on that level. But he has experience. He

434
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 5: has the bit like you need more than one closer.

435
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 4: Everyone who says Alexis Diaz like, hey, awesome, great job,

436
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 4: You need two more guys if you want to be

437
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 4: a true playoff contender, not just ooh, make the playoffs

438
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 4: like a playoff contender.

439
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 5: You need that.

440
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 2: One more rumor. A report yesterday from Dennis Lynn and

441
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: Dan Hayes, who cover the Padres and the Twins. They

442
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: said there could be a deal with the Padres acquiring

443
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: Christian Vozcuaz, who's making ten million dollars coming up this season,

444
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: so the Twins are going to have to eat some

445
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: of that money. The even more interesting part to me

446
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 2: was that the Twins are looking into Dylan Cees, but

447
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: they'd rather give up quantity over quality. I'm like, okay, well,

448
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: good luck with that. If the Padres are trading Dylan Sees,

449
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: who is a young candidate type, then aj Preler is

450
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: going to get him some quality over quantity when you're

451
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 2: making a trade like that, and Preller's actually pretty good

452
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: at that in prospect deals in the past. He'd rather

453
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 2: get one name he really loves than four names. You know,

454
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: look at the difference between his deal, his James Shields deal,

455
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: and the Pirates Carrott Cole deal. That should tell it.

456
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: All Pirates get like four or five prospects. I don't

457
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 2: think any of them panned out. He gets tatist. That's

458
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: the type of player that he looks for. He'd rather

459
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 2: take one over four. Anyway, thoughts on any of this.

460
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 2: I mean Boz because obviously makes sense for them. They

461
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: lost Higgy can't Usano.

462
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: Struggle the worst catcher in baseball after defensively.

463
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 2: He has struggles on d and they know it.

464
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 3: I mean, Vescue has makes sense. He's hadn't hit for

465
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 3: a couple of years. Since he's gone to Minnesota. He

466
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: hasn't hit a lake. He's actually struggled.

467
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 5: They haven't.

468
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 3: He got of got to play a lot either offend.

469
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he lost a job to Jeffers, but the pitchers

470
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: I think like working with him still.

471
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, Christophvskus, is that a nice career. He's

472
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 3: done some things, won a World Series? So I like

473
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: this move for San Diego. But the ten million, if

474
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: they don't have any money, why would they take ten

475
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 3: million on cellar? The Twins are gonna have send some

476
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 3: money with them.

477
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're gonna probably have to eat half

478
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 2: the contract. Crats.

479
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 4: He's won two World Series actually, and there's value in that.

480
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 3: There's forgot about There's Boston and Houston. I forgot about

481
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 3: I forgot he was in Houston.

482
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I mean, is it a good pick up? Yeah?

483
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 4: To me, I thought I thought San Diego needed to

484
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 4: bring higgyback. But clearly as the off season goes on,

485
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 4: you're seeing that they are strapped for cash and they're

486
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: not able to add so going outside the box looking

487
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 4: at a trade, and I think his time is up

488
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 4: in Minnesota. Jefferson's really stepped up and been really really

489
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 4: good behind the plate, and Christian Vasquez is going to

490
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 4: give you. To me, what Scott said was perfect five million,

491
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 4: I think five million for Christian Vasquez is is very

492
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 4: good because I think it still gives Campusano time to

493
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 4: maybe become what they hope he was. He has so

494
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 4: much movement at the plate, and behind the plate, he

495
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 4: looks too stiff. It looks like he's like panicked a

496
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 4: little bit. Maybe a young guy that just needs to

497
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 4: needs to play more and needs to continue to improve.

498
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think the Twins would take that five

499
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 2: I think that's the number they're gonna settle on. Right now.

500
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 2: They're battling. I'm sure that's the situation they're battling on

501
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: what the number is that they're gonna eat. But the

502
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 2: seas parts super interesting too. It would be crazy to

503
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: see the Padres giving cease to the twins. But anyway, we'll.

504
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 5: Step the prospect. No, that happened.

505
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 2: I actually do think they have the prospect capital to

506
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: make that happen. I don't think they will trade that.

507
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 3: I asked why they traded for him last year, and

508
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 3: they almost beat the Dodgers and made them So I'm

509
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 3: gonna ask why would they trade them this year when

510
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 3: he's gonna be a free.

511
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 2: Age thirteen point seventy five mil. There's there's something going

512
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 2: on there.

513
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 3: You trade Dyllancy's for let's say, for Christian Vasquez.

514
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: No, they're not the same. I don't think that's in

515
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 2: the same trade.

516
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, but either way, the money goes either way. Okay,

517
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: if he goes thirteen point five Yeah, and even if

518
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: they have the five, so you're gonna trade Villancies away

519
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 3: to save eight million dollars.

520
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: To me, it's crazy that I would not trade. To me,

521
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,719
Speaker 2: I just saying, look back started the off season when

522
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 2: some people threw his name out for rumors, I was like,

523
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 2: that's insane. Why would you trade him? He could be

524
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: a top three cy young guy. In the National League

525
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: this year, and he's in his platform season, which you

526
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 2: always like. I don't want to spend a whole segment

527
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: on this, but I did want to bring it up

528
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 2: during a break. Did you see Roki Sasaki's press conference

529
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: yesterday and the part that stood out to most people

530
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: that watched mm hmm, he said, I didn't it that

531
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: no stability in the front office was a really important

532
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: factor with him, which was obviously a dig at the

533
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: Padre strife and even the Blue Jays with front office

534
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: guys that are lame ducks in their contracts. Meanwhile, Shoeo

535
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 2: Tani has a clause in his contract that if ownership

536
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: or president of Baseball Operations moves on, he can opt out,

537
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: So I do understand that part it matters. At the

538
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 2: same time, I think that was pre coordinated, Like, if

539
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: you really felt that way, why were your three finalists

540
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 2: the two of them having that kind of issue.

541
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 3: Because there was nobody else who was going to ex.

542
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: Well. No, the point of this that I bring up

543
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: is Padres fans, I feel for you here because I

544
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 2: think he's taking a shot that is unnecessary at you.

545
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: Oh well, I ultimately made this call because you know,

546
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 2: I want stability. Come on, then why are you dragged?

547
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 3: Has a better question. Jeremy has the better question. Worse,

548
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 3: why did he go our Sazaki? Because there is there

549
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 3: another Sazaki on the Dodgers? Like is there?

550
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, I didn't catch that. That's the

551
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: specific stuff where you guys see right there boom.

552
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 3: I want to know what kind of car he was

553
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 3: brought in?

554
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 5: A black car?

555
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 3: Oh Uber select, maybe Uber Black.

556
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 2: There's some articles including al the Gonzalez's story from yesterday

557
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 2: that he spoke to more team officials and they're really

558
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 2: pissed that they gave up proprietary info on how he

559
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: can get his fastball groove back like his velo and spin. Yeah,

560
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: they're like, we gave up our proprietary.

561
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: And you know what, this plays me back to when

562
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 3: the White Sox didn't in interview anybody for their GM,

563
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: like they think about it, they could have got proprietary influence.

564
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 2: That's why you do it. I know, you play that

565
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: process out And if you really really thought he had

566
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 2: no chance of signing with your team, then you should

567
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 2: have called Sazaki and his agent and said, bug off,

568
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 2: we don't believe you.

569
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 3: So do you think if by moving your wrist a

570
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 3: quarter an inch, Like, do you think the Dodgers ain't

571
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 3: down on the same stuff?

572
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: Come on on both sides of the spectrum. Here on

573
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 2: that side, I'm like, you don't have crap. He's fine,

574
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: he knows what he's got to do from the Dodgers

575
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: on the other side of it, no matter what excuse

576
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 2: he says, I don't believe that he had any other

577
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: real team in mind beside the Dodgers. We all talked

578
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 2: about that for three freaking months half corner time. This

579
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 2: one got some attention this week. Comps Brian Giles and

580
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: Juan Soto, and it was during a period of hold

581
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 2: on the same whatever it years.

582
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 3: Brian Jails ninety nine to two thousand and five, okay,

583
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 3: and won soto is first six years is what it

584
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 3: was basically.

585
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: So for the crowd that listens later just.

586
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 5: Is also older at this time.

587
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: That's the key is that we did get. But it's

588
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: applied tweet to this that said, through age twenty five

589
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: season Brian Giles Baseball War one point seven through age

590
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: twenty five season one, Sodo thirty six point four baseball bar.

591
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: But just comparing their seasons for a six year span

592
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 2: or whatever it is, seven year span. What do we have?

593
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 3: Well, here's my question, I don't understand. I mean, they're

594
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 3: very similar. Actually, Brian Giles beats him in a lot

595
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: of things. If we can put that back up again,

596
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: my question is this is what I don't understand about

597
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 3: how war is calculated. And again I'm confused with this

598
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: because I don't understand how whoever you know, and how

599
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 3: people can have different things of war? Can we can

600
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 3: we show that again though back to back?

601
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: Remember war is all categories.

602
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 5: I understand. Okay, Okay, okay.

603
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 3: My question is is Brian Giles beats him and everything

604
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: listed right except OBP by three points?

605
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 5: Okay?

606
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 3: How does Wan SODA's ops plus nine points higher than

607
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 3: Brian Giles? And how does Brian Giles have less war

608
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 3: than one Soda? When he played more games and more hits,

609
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 3: more homers more? Are you has more stolen bases?

610
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 5: More?

611
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 3: His opp is three points lower? Better? Slug?

612
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: I have an answer, Okay, want soon is not a

613
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 2: good defender either. I have an answer, and I'm just

614
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: the messenger. Okay, So he has the ops plus advantage

615
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: at one sixty versus one fifty one because OPS plus ways,

616
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 2: ballpark ways the time period, right, So they're taking everyone's

617
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 2: numbers right during certain eras and being like, okay, those

618
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 2: numbers look great, but offense was up a little bit

619
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 2: during that time period, right, or you were in this

620
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: ballpark versus this ballpark. That's what the stat does ops plus.

621
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: So that's that side of it. The other side is,

622
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what they had for base running in

623
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: defensive metrics for Sodo versus Giles, but that's what will

624
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: give him a little boost. But also in fairness, I mean,

625
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 2: Soto's out a thirty six point four during this time

626
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 2: period and Giles at thirty five point eight. So I

627
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: don't get into too many semantics when they're that close,

628
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: I understand.

629
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 3: But still if you look at the numbers though, and

630
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 3: I know they're different ages, I get it. But Brian

631
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 3: Jones beats him in everything, so I know defense does

632
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 3: to matter, but he still beats him in everything except

633
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 3: for OBP by three points.

634
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 2: He's got nine points on him on ops plus. That matters.

635
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 3: Okay, So that goes into war. Oh yeah, okay, So

636
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: again I'm gonna you know what, I'm gonnaide a crafty

637
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: me and you were gonna come up with a stat

638
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 3: We're gonna make like some guy look really good on

639
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 3: some stat.

640
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 5: We're just gonna make some stat.

641
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: Up because I get it, But it just it does.

642
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 3: This is why I think people look too much into

643
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 3: war sometimes because it just doesn't make sense all the time.

644
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 5: Too.

645
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense all the time. It's they're trying

646
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 4: to they're trying to make it easier, and it.

647
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 5: Convolutes a little bit.

648
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 4: But I'll be honest, I had no idea Brian Giles

649
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 4: had it like this. I saw him at the end

650
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 4: of his career. He had kind of got deflated a

651
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 4: little bit. I had no idea his numbers were like this.

652
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: They're elite numbers like and he's pretty much the age

653
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 4: when he had started his career.

654
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 5: He's the age Soto is now.

655
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 4: So if Soto has the same years and like equals

656
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 4: what Brian Giles did, then they're getting Then they're getting some.

657
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 5: Of their money's worth, not all their money's worth, but

658
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 5: some of it. But man, I had no idea.

659
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would have gotten a lot more money back

660
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 2: then if you hit the free agent market at the

661
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 2: right time. Different error, But just throwing it out, let's

662
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 2: bringing our next Yep, well that's true. That's the big

663
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: difference is the age, So that's why peaked. Yeah, let's

664
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: bring in our next guest, and we are going to

665

Speaker 2: So it's been a long time coming. We've been talking

00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: about this for a minute. So why don't you let

676

Speaker 2: bringing to the table this coming season. And of course

678
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: you can use a comp you can use their rival

679
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: for a comp to give them an idea of what

680
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: it'll look and sound like.

681
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

682
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: So obviously on the Foul Territory Network you have Pinstripe

00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: Territory and we're going to be Monster Territory we're gonna

Speaker 1: Sox news. I mean day, we'll be talking something over there.

686
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: Uh you know in this offseason if we've already had

687
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about, so it's it's only gonna

688
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: get busier as the season goes on.

689
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 5: So I'm excited for it.

690
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 3: Podcast battle, podcast battles, Derrek and Robbie. Let's go, let's

691
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: go Red Sox.

692
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 5: Let's go like the old days.

693
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: All right, I'm surprised he let me on a show

694
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago.

695
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 5: I thought I was, but now we got through it. It

696
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 5: was pretty good.

697
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: It's pretty good.

698
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 5: Okay, he loves the Red Sox. Anyway, so.

699
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 3: You haven't had much to talk about. They made the

700
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 3: Girt Crochet move, but since then it's kind of been

701
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 3: the Red Sox are in on this guy Buehler.

702
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 5: Okay, I forgot about Bueller, but you know they've been.

703
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 3: In on this guy. They're in on this guy. They're

704
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 3: in on this guy. They're in on this guy, and

705
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: they never get them. Now they went and traded for Crochet.

706
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 3: They got Bueler for on a short term deal. What

707
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 3: are the Red Sox doing and where is John Henry

708
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 3: putting his money? Is it under his mattress?

709
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 5: I mean, who knows?

710
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: It could be hidden in some little corridor around Femway Park.

711
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 5: I'm not really sure.

712
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: But Alex Bregman is the guy right now they need

713
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: a right handed hitter in the lineup. He brings just

714
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: a lot of things to the table that the Red

715
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: Sox need right now.

716
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 5: They need that balance in the lineup.

717
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: They also need a little bit better defense in the

718
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: infield as well, but they really do need a big

719
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: voice in that clubhouse in my opinion. You know, Raphael

720
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: Devers is the guy that you know people look to,

721
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: but he said himself, he doesn't.

722
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 5: Really want to be that guy.

723
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman has that championship pedigree, a lot of success

724
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: in Houston. He's hit very well at Fenway Park in

725
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: his career. To me, he just makes all the sense.

726
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of are they going to open

727
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: up the check book. I'm not sure. I don't know

728
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: if they're going the JD. Martinez playbook from what they

729
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: did back in twenty eighteen. We'll see what ends up happening.

730
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: But Bregman is the guy that Red Sox fans are

731
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: hoping for right now.

732
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: So you recently connected with Alex Korra. People can hit

733
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 2: up your channel and check out That interview was really good.

734
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: I listened to it yesterday. Did you get any inkling

735
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: of his interest in Bregman? I know he talked about

736
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: him in the past. What do you think that he's

737
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 2: pleading for with the front office. I do think he

738
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 2: has more influence than most managers, do. Do you agree?

739
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 5: Yeah? I would agree on that.

740
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: And they're very good at hinting at things without actually

741
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: saying it out loud, and I felt like I got

742
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: that in the interview that we had, where you know,

743
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: we're talking about adding a right handed hitter. He brought

744
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: up the jad Martinez situation from twenty eighteen, you know,

745
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: go back to that time. You know, they were looking

746
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: for two hundred million dollars and the Red Sox called

747
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: their bluff and he was saying, just be patient, you know,

748
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: just like try and wait this out. And you know,

749
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: I've felt like he was sort of hinting at that possibility.

750
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: But you know, there are teams would who would also

751
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: love to bring him in, So we'll see what ends

752
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: up happening. But it you do get a strong inclination

753
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: that Korra, he really would like to have him on board.

754
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 4: How about what Alex Cora said when he was on

755
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 4: your show about Jared Duran, Is that the sentiment that

756
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 4: you feel the same about being a top three most

757
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 4: dynamic players, if not top three best players in the

758
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 4: American League.

759
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

760
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: I mean when you just take a look at the

761
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: growth of Duran, that's kind of to me is where

762
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: Cora was getting at with him, because he's really come

763
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: a long way over the last few years. You know,

764
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: you take a look at the you know, the bad

765
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: defensive plays that happened. There was one game against Toronto.

766
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: I think they lost like eighty two to one or

767
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: something like that. But you know, that was a moment

768
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: where he was getting, you know, pretty drugged on by

769
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: the fans, and you know, and take a look at

770
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: the year that he just had going to the All

771
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: Star Game. He is very highly of him and he

772
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: but I think most of all, he's just seen him

773
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: mature and grow into the.

774
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 5: Player that he is today. So I think he's very

775
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 5: excited about him moving forward.

776
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 2: Wait just quick look, so I can see a case

777
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 2: for maybe even top five coming off this season, Yeah,

778
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 2: Judge and Wit, and I think he then considered him next.

779
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give Gunner Anderson the edge. And I know

780
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: it's not like he's been doing it forever, but I

781
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 2: think top five is probably a more reasonable space to

782
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 2: make a case for cool. Are we good at that? Okay?

783
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 5: Cool? Lussy.

784
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 3: He's got a sweet attitude, which I love.

785
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: So he came on our show and he was bringing.

786
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 5: It in special. That's fine.

787
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 3: But Robbie you mentioned I think mentioned Tristan Casss. What

788
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 3: do we expect from him? Is he going to be healthy?

789
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 3: You know, he does all the quirky things. He goes

790
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 3: out there and sche mask and grounds himself and does

791
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 3: yoga with his shirt off and all these quirky things.

792
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 3: But at some point you have to play. You have

793
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 3: to be healthy and you have to be out there

794
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 3: is this year where he takes that next step and

795
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 3: becomes the first round pick and the first basement of

796
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 3: the future for the Red Sox. You know, getting back

797
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 3: to Duran here, right. You know, Duran has been a

798
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 3: guy that's you know, miss time in the past two

799
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: and he was able to put it together this past year.

800
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of high hopes for Casas.

801
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 3: You know, he has been in the rumor mill a

802
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 3: lot this offseason. But you know, Craig Breslo, he's come

803
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 3: out and said, you know, I don't know where this

804
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 3: is coming from. You know, who knows, you know how

805
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 3: truthful he's being there. But in the end, you know,

806
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: Casas does have a ton of upside with the bat.

807
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 3: Breslo himself has said, you know, forty home run power

808
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 3: per season, this is a big year for him and

809
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 3: he needs to show that he can stay on the

810
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 3: field and be consistent, and quite frankly, they need that,

811
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 3: you know. They they lost him a lot this past

812
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 3: year and they're going to need that power production in

813
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 3: the middle of the order.

814
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: So well, Robbie, great analysis as always a lot more

815

Speaker 1: You know I'm wanting to cover the Red Sox for

828
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: a long time now, and to have this opportunity, it's

829

Speaker 1: and I'm excited for this season.

831
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 2: How ironic we're in that Jim Marlin's wint right off

832
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 2: that conversation, sixty three and a half. We're all going under.

833
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: They're gonna be freaking terrible. What's the number market, sixty

834
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 2: three and a half.

835
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 3: They don't even have losing one hundred.

836
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 5: I know, what did I say? What did I say?

837
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 3: My gosh, under under under, under, under, under, under.

838
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: Bucket, under look at it.

839
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 5: I never I thought it would be like fifty eight under. Wow, okay,

840
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 5: boy got him at I previewed this.

841
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 4: I previewed this like their only hope is that Uri

842
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 4: Perez and al Contra come back and do well, and.

843
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 3: Then they're gonna get traded.

844
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 4: They're gonna get rid of those guys like two dudes

845
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 4: coming off with Tommy John when I when I locked

846
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 4: in the other one the other day for us, I

847
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 4: told you guys, I would lock it in. I stumbled

848
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 4: across the Marlins and I was like, oh, I've said

849
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 4: it like three or four times.

850
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 5: Please, I can't wait until we get to the Marlins.

851
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 5: Sixty three and a half under under under under.

852
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 2: Look at theirs? How much did I put down? Yep? Wait,

853
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 2: I want people to be serious and look at the

854
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 2: islands or don't look at the Marlins roster and really, right,

855
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 2: even if you're a hardcore baseball fan, as long as

856
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 2: you're not a Marlins fan, tell me how many players

857
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 2: you can name in their starting lineup?

858
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 3: Better question. I'm going to ask this question though, Dude,

859
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: are they able to beat the White Sox record last year?

860
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 2: No, they won't hit.

861
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 3: That Now there were some White Sox players you could name.

862
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 2: They won't hit that number. And I do think all

863
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: Contra gets moved, but Uri Prez doesn't. I think he's

864
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 2: still making league minimum. They're not going to move that.

865
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 2: I mean, they need somebody to throw innings. They had

866
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: one shy of the record I think for most starters

867
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 2: used in the season last year. So yeah, it is

868
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 2: an abomination and the game plan is ridiculous because they

869
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 2: think they're going to copy the Rais even the Rays

870
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: of kind of internally I'd heard this the other day said, hey,

871
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 2: like we were ahead of the curve, but like a

872
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 2: lot of places that caught up, the Marlins are like

873
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 2: twenty miles behind, being like we're gonna do what the

874
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 2: Rays did in twenty ten or whatever. It's like, dude,

875
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: we're so far ahead of you. It's this is a mess.

876
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,080

Speaker 2: one hundred has Rookie Sasaki at the number one spot,

889
00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 2: Roman Anthony two. There's some Red Sox in there. Christian

890
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 2: Campbell number four overall prospect four. But that's why you know,

891
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 2: Korra wants Bregman, but the Red Sox want Campbell because

892
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 2: they think he's going to be ready soon. That's the

893
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 2: battle that's going on. I know they're just prospects, but

894
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 2: the Red Sox think they have to impact players for

895
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, and Baseball America agrees, Roman Anthony and

896
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 2: Christian Campbell. That's why I think Bregman's signing with Detroit

897
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 2: or Toronto, not Boston when March twelfth. I don't know.

898
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 3: I mean, pregnant can rant your apartment. These signs of Detroit.

899
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 2: It's close enough to Lakeland, not that far. I guess.

900
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like he can do better.

901
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 2: Let him downtown. But Travis Bozana popped up at twenty

902
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 2: four on their list in JJ Weatherholt twenty five. Just

903
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 2: some notable names from the draft last year. Chase Burns

904
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 2: Reds twenty seventh. I don't know. There's a difference, though,

905
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: Why you think Jack Kags should be higher on their list.

906
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 2: We've got two more minutes.

907
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 3: We've got a guy that have hit forty plus homers

908
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 3: in the SEC. Yeah, and you got JJ weatherhold nothing

909
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 3: against Jj, but he's a five eight slap hitter to

910
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 3: play short stuff, no offense.

911
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 2: I don't know.

912
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like, I mean, he's a great hitter,

913
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 3: but I just for me, I want the guy that

914
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 3: would hit me forty especially in Kansas City, these are

915
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 3: hard those guys are hard to find.

916
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 2: Is it swinging misconcerns?

917
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 3: He didn't swing and miss. I told him to stop

918
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 3: swinging and miss, and he stop swinging and.

919
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 5: Missing last year.

920
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 2: No, I'm not I know I'm high.

921
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just don't understand Jack.

922
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 5: I don't get why. I don't know.

923
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 3: I don't know how prospect rankings work. But whatever, it's a.

924
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 2: Good question for JJ. Maybe next week we can get

925
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 2: one of the Baseball America people on there and we

926
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 2: can pick like five guys a bit. Why is this

927
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 2: player so high? Why is this player so low? Trying

928
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 2: to see if there's anyone else on the list that

929
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 2: stands out for being too high or too low. You

930
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 2: got Andrew Paynter in the top ten Philly's prospect if.

931
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 4: He's healthy, all he has had four Elli's had four

932
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,479
Speaker 4: in a top hundred. That's pretty good for a team

933
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 4: that's spent so much in the big league team.

934
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 2: You're right, Aiden Miller is one of the fastest rising

935
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 2: prospects in the sport. If you want to look up

936
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 2: what he's up to and just what the swing looks like.

937
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 4: Prospects, I mean, if we if we mentioned every time

938
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 4: that a prospect fizzled out, they're they're they're something to

939
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 4: build your organization. Look at the Dodgers. The Dodgers have prospects,

940
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 4: they trade them to get the big leaguers that are

941
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 4: established and ready to go right away. That's okay. It's

942
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 4: okay if the Orioles trade from some of their prospect depth.

943
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 4: They're not all gonna they're not all gonna pan out.

944
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 4: You're really lucky that you already have Adley and Gunner

945
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 4: in the show. Like to me, that's that's where that's

946
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 4: where the value is with the prospect. It's okay, be

947
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 4: okay with them succeeding somewhere else. They don't have to

948
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 4: just succeed in only your organization.

949
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm with you. We're back, she said.

950
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 3: We're out seeing New York people. Yeah, well fly from

951
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 3: New York. It's Saturday night.

952
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:16,919
Speaker 2: J Prazinski.

953
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 3: Oh man, I can't believe I'm going to New York.

954
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 3: Do I need anything?

955
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 5: Mark? Do I need? Do I need? What? Do I need? Here?

956
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 2: Marks? A frozen.

957
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 5: Like it's not even that cold.

958
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 2: For AJ, it's cold, and for me it's cold, even

959
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: though I spent most of my life up there. One
