1 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: Things that make me sad, news breaking two minutes after 2 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: a show, Things that make prats danced, which is why 3 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: some people watch the show. I kid you not, news 4 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: breaking minutes before a show. 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 2: Finally, finally, yeah, finally, we have a Nolan Arnaudo trade, 6 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: which was supposed to happen last year. 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: Let's hit it. Let's just let's hit it as soon 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: as we can so we can just get right into it. 9 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: Chuck it out, he go. 10 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: If you're a Cardinal fan Nolan Arnaudo, I mean, Listen's 11 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 2: been a garula nice player for a long time. People 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: are starting to wonder whether he's on the decline. But 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: the Arizona Diamondbacks don't believe. So now, they didn't give 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: up a ton Jack Martinez, right handed pitcher, but I 15 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 2: think the Cardinals are eating thirty thirty one a forty 16 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: two million. Oh so they two years they just kind 17 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 2: of wanted him out and the area is so the 18 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: Cardinals saves some money. Jack Martinez gets to go to 19 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: the Cardinals and there you have it. So thirty one 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: of the forty two Okay, But. 21 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: For Arizona, I mean in baseball money, that ain't a 22 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: lot five mil this year and six mil next year 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: for a. 24 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: Guy that's still productive. Defensively, he's still good, and offensively 25 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: he's still productive bust, but he's not. Listen, he's not 26 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 2: the Nolan Arnado that we came to expect for about 27 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: ten years. But he's still a good player. 28 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: He can still pick it at third. He's not he's 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: not as good as he was no, but he's still 30 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: what an above average defender and close to league average bat. 31 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: So that's what that gets paid on the marketplace. Diamondbacks. 32 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: We're in the running, and we don't know how much, 33 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: but in the running at least to some extent for 34 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman, and we quickly see this pivot crats to 35 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: go get themselves. A third baseman who is super well respected, 36 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: wants to play every day gamer, will set up great 37 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: tone and join a very talented infield. One of the 38 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: best infields in baseball in my mind. Perdomo was a 39 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: top five MVP finisher last year and Cautel Marte is 40 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: arguably his best second basement in baseball. 41 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 3: I mean, they're tremendous up the middle. Let's make sure 42 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 3: everybody knows that Nolan Ernado's going to give the Diamondbacks. 43 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: Everything that he has, how much is it? 44 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: You never know? 45 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 3: Look what George Springer did this year, everyone was like decline. 46 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 3: He signed a contract with the Blue Jays, he goes 47 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 3: into a different lineup. Who was protecting him in the 48 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 3: Cardinals lineup? Was he expected to be the guy in 49 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: the Cardinals lineup? Yes? 50 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: I get it. 51 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: Contraras was there, but like he has a little bit 52 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: more around him. Perdomo put up the year that he had. 53 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 3: He I mean offensively, he took giant leaps last year. 54 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 3: Kutel Marte is an MVP candidate. I think Corbyn Carrol 55 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 3: if he takes away like a month and a half 56 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 3: of the last two seasons, he's an MVP candidate. So now, 57 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, if you have Nolan Ernado hitting 58 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 3: fifth or sixth, there's a lot less expected of him. 59 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: I guess this is the player side of me thinks, 60 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 3: why not? Why couldn't he be you know, he was 61 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: a little bit above average offensively, Why couldn't he be 62 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:27,119 Speaker 3: you know, a one ten ops plus one fifteen ops 63 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: plus with the same defense, Because I don't think his 64 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: defense is going to decline like crazy here, and he 65 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 3: knows the national League West. 66 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the thing, he hasn't He wasn't league 67 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: average last year he was eighty seven ope les plus, 68 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: So it's not about who was hitting behind him. The 69 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 2: problem is when the Cardinals got Nolan Arnado years ago, 70 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: he was a twenty twenty one. They got him after 71 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: the COVID year. He was good. He was really good. 72 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: He was a one to fifty one that year or 73 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: one nineteen twenty one, twenty twenty two he was a 74 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: one to fifty one ops. It was one o eight. 75 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: Then twenty four he was one h two. So the 76 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: numbers have kind of slowly gone down a little bit. 77 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: And then last year he was in eighty seven and 78 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: he only had twelve homers. The problem with him and 79 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: the Cardinals people say it is he's lost his power, 80 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 2: Like he'll hit you some singles, but he has no power, 81 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 2: so you throw him into this Diamondbacks line up. He 82 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: doesn't strike out a lot, which is nice for the Diamondbacks. 83 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,119 Speaker 2: He does take his walks, he puts the ball in play. 84 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: He's not a high he's not a ton of an 85 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: OHIGOOBP guy. His defense will be solid and if you 86 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: put him in the six, five, six, seven range in 87 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 2: that lineup. I think he'll be fine. I think especially 88 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: going to Arizona from Saint Louis, which listen, in Arizona 89 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 2: is a better place to hit than Saint Louis. Power 90 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,119 Speaker 2: might go up a little bit. He gets some games 91 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 2: in Colorado, he gets some I think this is a 92 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 2: nice move for the Diamondbacks. Listen, they were allegedly rumored 93 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: to be in on Bregman. They clearly weren't going to 94 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 2: the numbers that Pregnant got. So this is not a 95 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 2: bad fallback option for the Diambacks. It's only two years. 96 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: It's only two years. 97 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: I agree. I think that's fine. I feel like we 98 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: actually call this one out. We were like, yeah, if 99 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: you got him for I don't know, three, four or 100 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: five million bucks, yeah great. I mean this is still 101 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: a productive big league player. He's not a star anymore, 102 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: but this is a productive big league player with a 103 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: lot of dirt and his spikes, who knows how to 104 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: win some ball games. We got a super chat here. 105 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: Tim is cooking for us in Saint Louis Is from Brandon, 106 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: I'm ready for JJ Weatherhold at third sucks. We're gonna 107 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: lose s BRender Donovan two, but opens up second full 108 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: time for Nolan Gorman. Where's Donovan going super Chat, We 109 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: don't know yet. Actually, perhaps the shirt I'm wearing today 110 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: Giants perhaps splash territory Giants respond well. 111 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: The question for me is Donovan was supposed to be 112 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: traded a long time ago. As you know, we all 113 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 2: thought Donov would be traded for Arnatto. 114 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: Can tell Marte was supposed to tread. 115 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: Too, but then they pivot into are keeping him. We 116 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: could be pretty good. 117 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: Teams are stingy with their prospects. 118 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 2: Teams are stingy with stars too. 119 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: I think Donovan's going to get traded because I think 120 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: they are going to be enough teams that feel like 121 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: they didn't do enough. So I mean, I think the 122 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: Red Sox could be in play for him. I think 123 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: that we've already heard about the Royals, the Giants. There's 124 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: another team that Mariners. Yes, so there's a market there. 125 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: He's good for what hein. Bloom is good at what. 126 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: I'll give him Bloom credit for this. I mean, remember 127 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: he had to trade Looky Betts. Yeah right, I mean 128 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 2: he and he didn't although the return wasn't that great 129 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: for what he got from Loky Betts, but he's very 130 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: able to find and places to send guys. At other 131 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 2: times they don't think they're tradable. Like Rookie Betts. He 132 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 2: made that he got traded. He has now had to 133 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 2: trade Arnado right on the job. Right he traded Sunny Gray, 134 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: he traded mostly Contreras. These are all guys that had 135 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 2: no trade clauses, and he convinced them all like, hey, guys, 136 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: we're not going to be very good. You guys should 137 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 2: all get traded. Gray and controus both went to the 138 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: same place in Boston. Arnatto goes to the Diamondbacks. It's 139 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: it's fascinating. Hei Bloom is Heine bloom Is. I love 140 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: Heine Bloom.

And I think the Red 172 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 3: Sox so I was there in twenty one and I 173 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 3: saw some of the changes that he made, changes that 174 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 3: he was very surprised coming from the Rays. Wow, the 175 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 3: Red Sox don't have this. Wow, the Red Sox don't 176 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: have this analytics system. Yes, they had their own analytics system, 177 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 3: but they had you know, it was very like, it 178 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 3: was very private to the coaches in front office, and 179 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 3: the players are like, I want it. I wanted I 180 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 3: want it. Other teams are getting this, and so he 181 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 3: started kind of developing that infrastructure change. That's all we've 182 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 3: heard about the Cardinals for twenty years. They've kind of 183 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 3: been like, Hey, we're successful, why do we need more 184 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 3: of this? Why do we need more of that? And 185 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 3: then all of a sudden they woke up and they 186 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 3: were eight years behind, you know, knowing some people from 187 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 3: behind the scenes and the Cardinals they were years behind 188 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: on some of that stuff because they had certain things 189 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 3: established in the big leagues. The minor leagues are just like, Okay, 190 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 3: we'll just keep status quo, status quo. So he has 191 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 3: to change that infrastructure and what people need to understand too. 192 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 3: He's been at it for a year talking to him 193 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 3: outside of the show, because I wasn't on the day 194 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 3: that he was on. There's been a lot of change 195 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 3: that's already like, hey, you know what, we can keep 196 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 3: some of these coaches, but we need to add more 197 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 3: in this area. We've seen success added in this area. 198 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 3: And so for me, if I'm a Cardinal fan, I say, 199 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 3: heck yeah, time Bloom, Heck yeah, we got all this 200 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 3: money off of our roster. It's almost like getting free agents, 201 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 3: Like they freed up this money off the roster. And 202 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 3: I don't think the Cardinals are going to spend it, 203 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 3: but I think hein Bloom. His one chance of setting 204 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: an organization back on the right track was with the 205 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 3: Red Sox, and you look where they're at now. 206 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're laking less money this year to the Cardinals. 207 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: They're part of that. 208 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 2: The one thing about the Cardinals is they've always drawn 209 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 2: really well at Bush Stadium, not anymore, not in this 210 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: past year they didn't. And now this year they're signaling 211 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 2: again they're not going to be any good. Cardinal fans 212 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 2: will come out if you're decent, if heck, if you're 213 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 2: five hundred Cardinal fans That's one of the craziest plays 214 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 2: I ever played. You can be ozer for fifty and 215 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: they'll give you a standing ovation. And because they're like, oh, 216 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: we'll get it hit eventually, most teams are booing the 217 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: crap out of you there. They don't, right, but they 218 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 2: don't come out if you're not saying you're going to 219 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: be competitive. And for the last about twenty years, the 220 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: Cardinals have signal they're going to be really competitive. And 221 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: this is the first year where they really kind of 222 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 2: just said, you know what, let's give him Bloom a 223 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 2: chance to cook. We're going to trade most of our 224 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 2: guys and we're going to start over and let him 225 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 2: build this roster the way he wants to build it. 226 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: And it sucks if you're a Cardinals fan, but I 227 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: think you guys have one of the right guys in 228 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: the right place in charge to help this go faster 229 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: than some other teams can do it. 230 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: Hey, they couldn't trade an olanar and Otto last year. 231 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, it took him fifteen months to pull 232 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: this off. Remember they had a deal to Houston and 233 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: they ended up Houston pivoting quickly to Christian Walker. They 234 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: couldn't find a spot for an Olan and he Zach paratees, Yeah, 235 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: they added him too, that's true. And then apparently this 236 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,599 Speaker 1: time around, according to Katie Wu, who writes for The 237 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: Athletic and is a host now on Dodgers' territory, but 238 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: it is very connected with the Cardinals, she said that 239 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: the talks this time around were like, Hey, we need 240 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: more flexibility on your no trade list, and in exchange, 241 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: we will be more flexible about how much money in 242 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: the contract we eat so that we can make sure 243 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: a deal gets done. They were not going to go 244 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: into another season with Nolan there. It's not like he 245 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: was bad for the club. They just want to move on. 246 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: They want to get the youth movement going, they want 247 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: to save money. They're not a playoff team this year, 248 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: and so credit to both sides for agreeing to make sense, 249 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: get this done, send him to a spot that he's 250 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: probably pretty happy with. As we talked about many times 251 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 1: in the show, most guys are a West Coast guy, 252 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: go to Arizona. He's a West Coast guy. 253 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: Arizon. Other thing is when you can live and play 254 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: in the same thing for spring training and the regular season. 255 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: And let's not forget I don't know where Nolan lives 256 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: in the offseason, if he still lives in California, But 257 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 2: if you can move, he can buy a place in 258 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: Arizona and live there all year round and never have 259 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 2: to move, which is one of the huge, huge perks 260 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: of the Diamondbacks to people. And excuse me, it is 261 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 2: one of the wonders why Tampa used to do this. 262 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 2: Tampa doesn't do it anymore. But Tampa Bay used to 263 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 2: have their spring training right next to the TRUP. Now 264 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: that's in Port Charlotte, obviously, but if you can do that, 265 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 2: it is a huge perk, especially if you want to 266 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: try and sign free agent guys. The Rays don't do 267 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: that obviously the same level of the Diamondbacks do. 268 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: But it helps. 269 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: Tell my wife is a player. Hey, honey, guess what, 270 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: you don't have to move for spring training. You don't 271 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 2: have to move for the season. You just have to 272 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 2: find one place for the whole year or for multiple years, 273 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 2: and you can buy that house and you save the 274 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 2: spring training move you spring, save the spring training money, 275 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: You save the headache that usually falls on not the 276 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: player but the significant other of the player, and the 277 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: kids don't have to move their stuff they can go 278 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: to school year round in one place. It's a huge thing. 279 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: Man INSIDEED insider and FT insider Robert Murray reporting the 280 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: Mets have offered fifty million dollars per season to Kyle 281 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: Tucker on a short term contract. We don't know the years, 282 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: but fifty million dollars, didn't We talk to Ken earlier 283 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: and he was waiting to Will Salmon on maybe three years. 284 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: So if we want to guess maybe three years one fifty. 285 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: Is there opt outs? 286 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: There's definitely opt outs. 287 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, why would guy sign that entered the 288 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 2: wuld you just take one year fifty, have a good year, 289 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: and then then redo it like everyone else has done. 290 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: What if the Blue Jays are offering three hundred? Do 291 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: you want three years? 292 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: Again? 293 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: Trust years three hundred? 294 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: How much do you trust yourself? 295 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: What would you do yourself? What would you do? Okay? 296 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 2: If I had six years three hundred on the table 297 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 2: and three years one. 298 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: Fifty, well I'll say like eight years three hundred because 299 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: otherwise the AAV doesn't match up. Yeah, but but eight 300 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: years three hundred or three years one fifty. 301 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 3: I take the eight years, crats, it's going to be 302 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: more like ten years three hundred. I would take the 303 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 3: ten years three hundred. Like guy's been hurting, the guy's missed, 304 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: he played hurt. He's like, well that didn't work out. 305 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 3: I was having an awesome year and then I had 306 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 3: to play through the injury. And the year before he 307 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 3: was having MVP start to the year and then he 308 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 3: got hurt. I'm not saying don't bet on yourself. It's 309 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 3: not at all saying don't you believe in yourself. But 310 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 3: anybody that says I'll just go one year deals if 311 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 3: you get fifty million a year for the next ten years, absolutely, 312 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: but three hundred million, three hundred million for ten years, yes. 313 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: Please agreed. Agreed. By the way, can we just spreading rumors? 314 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: A little thing in a jigger front end a fee 315 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: that you guys call it front end? Is that chunky 316 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 2: peanut butter? Because nobody really likes chunky peanut butter. 317 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: They if you ever request smooth, then you can make 318 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: that request. 319 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 2: It likes chunky. Nobody like because they get the little 320 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: chunks get stuck in your teeth and stuff like chunky 321 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 2: peanut butter is not.

Like Kratz 340 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 2: talked about earlier with Ken Rosenthal, you gotta take what 341 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 2: you get. And if you can get three one fifty 342 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 2: with opt out after year one, a year two, and 343 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 2: you can go two years and get one hundred and 344 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 2: then be thirty one years old and maybe get another 345 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: four or five year deal. If there's nothing else out there, 346 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: you grab that and you go go to Fort Saint 347 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: Lucy and smile. 348 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: I still think the blue Jays have a longer term 349 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: offer going his way. I don't think the Blue Jays 350 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: are operating like the Mets and the Dodgers where they 351 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: do the short term AAV and the contract looks like 352 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: an opt out situation. So I know, you guys say 353 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: he was hurt right two years ago, I get it. 354 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: Seventy eight games, that's about half of the season. Although 355 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: using metrics that front office is like, I know you 356 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: guys were playing the war game all day yesterday. He 357 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: was almost a five win player in the season that 358 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: he was hurt. Ten win players insane, right, And that 359 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: was the season that he was hurt. In the seasons 360 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: before that, he was pretty solid games played and a 361 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: five plus win player one fifty seven fifty one. This 362 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: past season, I know he dealt with what was it, 363 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: the heel calf. One hundred and thirty six games played, 364 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: five hundred and ninety seven played appearances, two sixty six average, 365 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: three seventy seven on base four sixty four slugging eight 366 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: forty one ops one forty three ops plus, don't discount 367 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: that the Cubs ball park played very pitcher friendly this 368 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: past season. It's not like looked and said, oh man, 369 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: this guy's got to prove it. I mean, Alex Reigman 370 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: didn't have to prove it. Kyle market tells much better 371 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: season than him, and he's younger than him. So why 372 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: does Kyle Tucker have to prove himself after an age 373 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: twenty eight season like that? 374 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: Because the market tells him he does? Okay, that's why. 375 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: There's no other reason he shouldn't have to. But if 376 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: the market dictates, the market dictates what you were. 377 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: So you have a one year contract to prove it, 378 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: and you're going to go to a team that is 379 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: in a what at least top ten pitchers ballpark and 380 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: just lost quite a bit of AMMO. I'm not saying 381 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: they're bad. Obviously the Mets should be a contender, but 382 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: they certainly have lost quite a few pieces. Yeah, you've 383 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: got so, you've got Lindor. But is that the selection 384 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: that you make in a high. 385 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 2: Pressure that your best opportunity? 386 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: Yes, I don't think that's his best opport I think 387 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: Rogers something out there similar and the blue Jays. Here's 388 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: the thing, And I've said this multiple times and I 389 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: continue to believe this because Kyle Tucker not want to 390 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: go to Toronto. I have it in my head. They 391 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: definitely have the best offer, and it's a longer term offer. 392 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: I don't know how long, but there's definitely something there. 393 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: I don't think the blue Jays fuck around. Do you 394 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: tell me I'm wrong? I don't. 395 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: I don't think here. 396 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: I don't think it's like, oh, well, the blue Jays 397 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: only threw him three Okay, If. 398 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 2: It's not the blue Jays or the Mets and who else, 399 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 2: well that he's don't seem interested. 400 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: Those three teams are clearly there's a third involved, the Mets, 401 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: the Dodgers, and the blue Jays. 402 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: The Dodgers don't have a history of throwing long term 403 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 2: contracts out there, so I don't think that he's the. 404 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: Dodgers doing the same thing as Mets. They're saying, hey, 405 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: if you want to come here, we'll pay you a 406 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: lot for a season, and then you hit free agency again, 407 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: we'll give you one, two or three years. That's probably 408 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: what they're saying. The Mets are going hey, I mean, 409 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: here's my guess. Ready, Dodgers are throwing two or three 410 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: years at I don't know, forty ish a year. Mets 411 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: are like, cool, we love the Dodgers. We want to 412 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: do what they're doing. We'll do three years fifty MILLI year. 413 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: And then I think he's had an offer, or at 414 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: least a conversation about an offer from the Blue Jays 415 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: for a while now about a longer term contract. Kratz, 416 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: what do you think? 417 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 3: I think if it is in this range, if it's 418 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 3: fifty million dollars for one not one year, but if 419 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 3: it's fifty million for three years, I don't see how 420 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 3: the Mets. I don't see how the Mets take this down, 421 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 3: because my assumption would be the Dodgers would say, heyo, 422 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 3: you're moving over to left field. We were willing to 423 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 3: put twenty million into Michael Conforto for a single season. 424 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 3: We'll definitely do a single season type of contract and 425 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 3: put you in right field. I think it's so to 426 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 3: me if this is where he's at and he doesn't 427 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 3: want to take say seven years, two hundred and twenty 428 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 3: from the Blue Jays, just speculating, just questioning, then I mean, 429 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 3: I think it's I think the Dodgers would take this down. 430 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 3: I think the Dodgers would take it down over the Mets, don't. 431 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think that number could get 432 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 3: too high for the met for the Dodgers in a 433 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 3: one year thing. And I think that's where he would 434 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 3: where he would My guess is that's where he would 435 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 3: want to go over. 436 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 2: The Mets. 437 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: Front offices do a great job of analyzing and really 438 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: picking apart players. 439 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 2: Right. 440 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: Oh, this part's great, but we hate this part of him. 441 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: I mean that's common, that's what they do, especially nowadays 442 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: in free agency with almost everyone. There are two players 443 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: in the sport that have about an even strikeout to 444 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: walk ratio over the last two years with the five 445 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: hundred plus slug percentage. It's Kyle Tucker and Wan Sota. 446 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,959 Speaker 1: Wan Soto received a lot of love last offseason. What 447 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: am I missing here? You think it's just injury related. 448 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: Teams are not trusting the durability suddenly over the past 449 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: couple of years. It's not like he didn't play last year. 450 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean almost six hundred played appearances. 451 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 3: I don't know collusion. 452 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 2: I don't know why he's not getting the money. 453 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: Just doesn't have the suitors right now. 454 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, sometimes it comes down and who's 455 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: after you? 456 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: I don't know. 457 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 2: I wish I knew the answer that's got because I 458 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 2: want every player to get every dollar they can. 459 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: This is a confusing one for me. 460 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 2: Okay, I don't Okay, I don't see it. 461 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 3: I don't You can you can make any any reason 462 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 3: to say yes, he's not worth it. You made reasons. 463 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 3: AJ made some very valid points of why Jan Soto 464 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 3: shouldn't get the money that he got. It takes one 465 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 3: owner to say yes, I'll go ahead. You know, before 466 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 3: Soto signed, we were like, come on, over seven hundred million. 467 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 3: That's a crazy number, Like, how can you lock up 468 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 3: one guy for over seven hundred minute? How can you 469 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 3: give Kyle Tucker four hundred million dollars? Like to me, 470 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 3: I I truly thought he was a ten year, three 471 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty three hundred and forty three hundred and 472 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 3: fifty million dollar type of player. That's that's what I thought. 473 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 3: That's what I thought. The consistency was plays an all 474 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 3: around game. People say he's hurt, I'd be like, all right, 475 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 3: well where else are you going to get this high? 476 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 3: Of a ceiling from any player, and right now, teams 477 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 3: are not teams are not bouncing in that category. And 478 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 3: I think your first question was do you think teams 479 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 3: don't don't believe in him? Or I forget exactly what 480 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 3: you said, Scott, but to me, I think he's he's 481 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 3: overvalued by the market in the sense of they're not 482 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 3: willing to or he's overvalued himself in the market where 483 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 3: if a team has come to him and said, we'll 484 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 3: give you two hundred and forty million, he says, I 485 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 3: mean unless his number starts at three, I don't even 486 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 3: want to talk. Obviously, we don't know what's going on 487 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,959 Speaker 3: in those conversations. 488 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: And hey, maybe he does take fifty million for this season, 489 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: crushes it with a team and then the right suitor 490 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: comes to mind. Sometimes it's not about the platform season, 491 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: but it's also about the market. Right there's a team 492 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: that really needs, you know, a star outfield, just seems 493 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: like some of those teams are going to play for him. 494 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: And it's a large, large ask if he is in 495 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: the three hundred plus range. There are just not many 496 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: teams that want to dance like that right now. In general, 497 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: in baseball, no teams are forced to do that. Okay, 498 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: let's get to the next rumor. Cody Bellinger conversations continuing 499 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: with the Yankees. John Hayman reports this morning that talks 500 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: have continued into this week. The Yankees are trying to 501 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: bridge the gap in years by enhancing their latest offer, 502 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: which is a five year offer. They're offering an opt out, 503 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: They're offering a nice signing bonus. They're offering no deferrals. 504 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: Parties have possible options, but effort being made to stay together. 505 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: I continue to think this is the marriage that stays strong. 506 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed, both sides need each other. 507 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can up things. I don't know, does 508 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: the opt out do anything for you? I guess if 509 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: it's after one year and he bangs again, and I 510 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: don't know. 511 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 2: How because he's done it at years now, I don't 512 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 2: know that he wants to do that. 513 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: Again, you know. But if it's if it's that same 514 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: Let's say, let's say he can't get the sixth year, 515 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: it just can't figure it out with another team whatever, 516 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: and it's five and then he says, cool, I want 517 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: an opt out in case I have another superstar season. 518 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: And then things change with the next CBA. He could 519 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: do that. The Yankees might be like, well, we're committing five. 520 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 2: Years plus, Like I don't want to give you. 521 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. Maybe maybe they say 522 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: after year three, right, but then his free agency is 523 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: not looked at the same way that exactly. 524 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't I don't know. This is Bellinger 525 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 2: is an interesting one because again this goes back to 526 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 2: what other teams are interested. All we've really heard is Yankees, Yankee, Yankee, 527 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: Yank Yanks. 528 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: At that level, I'm not sure. Clearly the Mets like 529 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,719 Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker a lot more than Cody Bellinger. 530 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 2: I think that's you mentioned the Angels. But would they 531 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 2: want to do that Dodgers or they want to bring 532 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 2: him back he was already there and then't bring him back. 533 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: He's going to cost potentially five to one fifty, which 534 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: is the same that the Mets probably are offering Kyle 535 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: Tucker over three years right now with an opt out. 536 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,479 Speaker 1: But Tucker is a better player, better track record, So 537 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: we'll see. This is interesting. This is heating up. 538 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 3: Why not the Mets? Why not the Mets? Jorge Polanka 539 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 3: is the answer at first base, Like they have a SUDA, 540 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 3: they have a need in center field? 541 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: Is it? 542 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 3: Is it the years? Is it five years? Is it 543 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 3: the look that woh whoa, whoa? You gave Cody Bellinger 544 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 3: six years to get him over there. Why couldn't you 545 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 3: have given Pete money? Like to me, I think the 546 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 3: market should be out there for Cody, I because the 547 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 3: whole time it was like the end of his LA career. 548 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 3: You look at his war the last three years. You 549 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 3: look at his ops plus it was one twelve forty 550 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 3: four both injuries shortened years, and then eighty one ops plus. Yes, 551 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 3: he had to rebuild his back. But how many times 552 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 3: does Cody Bellinger say, yeah, go on, how many times 553 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 3: do I have to rebuild my value? 554 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: I feel you? I mean, hey, remember the Cubs traded 555 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: him to the Yankees a year ago and they had 556 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: to eat some money. You know, things can change very 557 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: quickly up and down to the free agent. 558 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of all that, we're sprinting rumors, 559 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 2: we haven't heard any from ber Valdez rumors. Very few 560 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 2: Rangers Suarez rumors. 561 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: Orioles and Mets have been linked to those two for 562 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: a long time, but nothing like they're in a stalemate. 563 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: You know why, because they think that they need to 564 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: get closer to the Dylanc's contract and they're not going 565 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: They're not. 566 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, those are some pretty big names that 567 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 2: just haven't even really I mean, we haven't talked about 568 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 2: a ton. 569 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: Those deals are not going to be as big. I 570 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: think with Suarez it's some injury history, and with Valdez 571 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: it's other things that we've talked about in the past. 572 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: Let's get to one more rumor before we finish up. 573 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: This is a juicy one. Jeff Passon reporting the Giants 574 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: are aggressively pursuing a second basement and had been engaged 575 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: in talks with the cub on Nico Horner and the 576 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: Cardinals on Brendan Donovan. An infield of Matt Chapman, Willia 577 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: Domas and either Donovan or Horner plus Rafael Devers would 578 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: be among Major League Baseball's best. Now we're talking Giants, Hello, 579 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: welcome to the off season. This is definitely something they 580 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: should be doing, and I think that they probably land 581 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan if they're serious. I don't think the Cubs 582 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: are going to trade Nico Horner, but Donovan would be 583 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: a great fit out there in San. 584 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: Francisco and guess where Nico Horner is from is from? Yeah, 585 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 2: he went to Stanford. 586 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: But it's not up to him. I mean, the Cubs 587 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: are going to ask for a boatload of prospects, and 588 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: if I'm the Cubs, I do not disrupt that just 589 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: flow right into the season. 590 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 2: I say they are, But if they do, I mean, 591 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 2: this would be a nice San Francis is gonna be 592 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 2: a nice landing spot for Nico Horner. 593 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: It would, But the Cardinals want to trade Brendan Donovan. 594 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that the Cubs want to trade Nico Horner. 595 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: They're just doing their job to listen. So that's why 596 00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: I wore this shirt today to do something. Splashit territory 597 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: shop dot com. 598 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 3: Is this a little No? He worked because they woke up. 599 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 3: He worked because they woke up, and there they have 600 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 3: a chance to do something. But both those guys would 601 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 3: be awesome types of players in San Francisco. Yes, Willie 602 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 3: Domas went out and hit his hit, his thirty dingers. Yes, 603 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 3: Raffie Devers is gonna hit thirty dingers next year in 604 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 3: San Francisco, which is a tough power park. We get that. 605 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 3: But two guys in Brandon Donovan and Nico Horner if 606 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 3: they could land one of those guys. To me, they 607 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 3: go and get value from a guy more than if 608 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 3: he were to go play at another you know, one 609 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 3: of those guys would go play at another home run 610 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 3: friendly park. Like those guys put the ball in play. 611 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 3: They know how to hit. It's the hit tool that 612 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 3: very got. Very few guys have right now and very 613 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 3: few guys know how to use. So to me, I 614 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 3: love that if Buster Posey's going after that type of player. Yes, awesome, 615 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 3: because you get like I could tell Marte not that 616 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 3: he would go from the Diamonbacks Giants, but then it's like, Okay, 617 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 3: does his power get squashed a little bit in San 618 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 3: Francisco for eighty one games. I tend to think yes, 619 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 3: But he's a big doubles guy too. But I would 620 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 3: love both of those guys playing at second base for 621 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 3: the Giants. 622 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: It appears the Giants are done on the starting pitching side, 623 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: so it's Logan Web, Robbie, Ray Tyler, Molly who they signed, 624 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: Adrian Houser who they signed, and Landon wrote and then 625 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: whatever lineup wise, they're missing a bat Junghu Lee Willia Domis. 626 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: I'm just going through the fangraphs one through nine. Devers, Chapman, 627 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: Ramos had a nice season. Bryce Eldridge, I guess they 628 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: have put at DH right now, a rookie DH. And 629 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: then Kasey Schmidt is put in at second base. That 630 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: could be your utility. Patrick Bailey, who hasn't shown the 631 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: bat but obviously is an amazing defender. And then they 632 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: got Louis Montos right now in right field. They're at 633 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: bat short. That would lengthen the lineup quite a bit. 634 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: Donovan at second and can float around the blow little bit. 635 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: So I'm into it. Go get it done. San Francisco. 636 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: They're asking for a lot, and you're gonna have to 637 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: give up a lot.
