Instead, it's going 12 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: to be Dodgers Blue Jays beginning and Friday night. And 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: here we are The Philly Show, and we are talking 14 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: about twenty twenty six. Asked you for your questions, and 15 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: you have a lot of questions. Let's jump right into it. 16 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: It's time for the Park's First Pitch. Pitch is brought 17 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: to us exclusively by our partners at Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's 18 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: number one casino. More, here we go, let's start. Let's 19 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: start with the question. And I chose this one for 20 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: first pitch just because I keep watching and thinking about 21 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: what the Dodgers did in these first three rounds of 22 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: the postseason with they're great pitching. This is from flip 23 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: flips to stock on threads. After seeing the Dodgers starting 24 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: pitching depth up close, he can't possibly expect us to 25 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: be okay with letting Ranger go because they have five 26 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: starters already. I guess I guess he might be Dave Nebrowski. 27 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: If Wheelers healthy, Nola regains his form and painters actually good, 28 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: can he, in other words, can he really just let 29 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: Rangers wear as walk? We've talked a lot about Ranger. 30 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: Do you guys have he concerns? I know the price 31 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: tag is going to be steep, but are you a 32 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: little bit, maybe a little bit worried about that rotation 33 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: once Ranger goes. 34 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, we've talked about it in time and time again. 35 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 4: Depth is there's great value in having depth, and we 36 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 4: wonder if they have enough depth. 37 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 3: But you know, the Dodgers do have that that depth. 38 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 4: And they also have that four hundred million dollar payroll 39 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 4: that the Phillies aren't going to have. They also have 40 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 4: questions about Rangers' long term durability. I'm sure they'd love 41 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 4: to have him back on something. Rubens talks a lot 42 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 4: about the old pillow contract, but you know, just kind 43 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 4: of checking out the lay of the land and you know, 44 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 4: surveying that you believe he's gonna move on, especially you 45 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 4: know they've got Painter coming and it'll open up a 46 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 4: spot of for him. 47 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: But would it be great. 48 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 4: To have all that depth yeare, and treat it like 49 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 4: the Dodgers treat it like watch really watch their inning 50 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 4: in the regular season. I mean, they have so many 51 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 4: fresh arms out there because they just didn't tax them 52 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 4: throughout the regular season. They're starters that these guys are like, 53 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 4: you know, workload wise in mid season and they have 54 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 4: plenty of fire left in those arms. 55 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: And you can do that when you have depth. 56 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 4: But I don't know if the Phillies can be the 57 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 4: Dodgers in terms of what they spend. And that's a 58 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 4: big reason that the Dodgers have assembled that depth is 59 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 4: because they just spend spend. 60 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 5: I just think it's we have to deal with some 61 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 5: reality here. The Phillies have been working over budget and 62 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 5: operating over budget for several years here just to keep 63 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 5: this group together and to continue to add on to 64 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 5: this current group. It's been good enough to get to 65 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 5: the World Series and to win the World Series they 66 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 5: just haven't been able to play the appropriate baseball at 67 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 5: the right time to get there. It's hard to win, 68 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 5: and it's I mean, you can't just keep spending and spending. 69 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 5: They just cannot do it. Just it's not like an 70 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 5: open wallet. It's not how it works. The Dodgers have 71 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 5: an open wallet. It's a totally different ownership group. It's 72 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 5: a totally different ability to drive revenue. The Phillies don't 73 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 5: have that big of a marketplace, but they've been operating 74 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 5: above budget for a long time. And yeah, it'd be 75 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 5: great to hire sign all of them, sign Rangers, sign 76 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 5: fram Burvaldez, sign Cease, sign them all. 77 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: That doesn't happen. 78 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 5: You don't know why, because there's a reality, there's a 79 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 5: stop button, there's a fault that turns off at some point, 80 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 5: and a. 81 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: Lot of it is gonna be dependent on what happens 82 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: with Schwarber. 83 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 5: I think he's your priority, and what happens with Schwarber 84 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 5: and JT. I think they're the number one and number 85 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 5: two priority for them. And after that, if they have 86 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 5: some money to work with, or if they can move 87 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 5: some money and to figure out a way to bring 88 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 5: other pieces onto the program, then maybe Ranger and or 89 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 5: other pictures will be part of this process, but otherwise 90 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 5: it's not just an open faucet. 91 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 2: That's not how it works in Philadelphia. 92 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 5: They cannot generate the kind of revenue that other teams 93 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 5: can generate. And while they've been operating at a very 94 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 5: high rate in like second or third in payroll, now 95 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 5: they're getting text like double. Every time they spend a dollar, 96 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 5: it's gonna be another dollar they have to spend on 97 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 5: the threshold. I mean, it's just let's deal in some 98 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 5: reality here, and part of the reality is that they 99 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 5: don't have an open book, open checkbook. 100 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would be curious to see what Ranger ultimately 101 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: ends up signing for. You know, I was looking at 102 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: some numbers the last four years, Rangers thrown five hundred 103 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: and eighty eight in the third innings, and the big 104 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: talk with Rangers, right, there's some durability or he hasn't 105 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: you know, made thirty starts in the season twelve point 106 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: one war. But then I was looking at Blake Snell, 107 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: who's had an unbelievable postseason. His four years before free 108 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: agency with the Dodgers. He threw five hundred and forty 109 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: and two thirds innings, So he actually threw less than 110 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: Ranger by forty eight innings in his four years leading 111 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: up to free agency, and his war was twelve point two. 112 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: So he got five years, one hundred and thirty six 113 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: and a half million dollars. I'm not saying he's going 114 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: to get that or beat that, but. 115 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 5: Snell was a cy Young Award winner, and he's got 116 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 5: bringing missed stuff that Ranger Suarez doesn't have and. 117 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 2: The health issues, and I think they held him back 118 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,239 Speaker 2: as far as his innings are concerned. 119 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 5: Because that's what the Tampa Bay Rays did. They didn't 120 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 5: allow their guys to go long. I mean, you saw 121 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 5: what happened in the playoffs with Kevin Cash took the 122 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 5: guy out in the fifth inning. 123 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: He was dealing whatever else was, and he still regrets it. 124 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 2: I'm sure he's allowing to pitch. They're allowing him to 125 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: pitch now, and. 126 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 5: They're letting him go because he's able to do it physically. 127 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 5: And now he's throwing seven or eight innings and. 128 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 3: He's keeping his pitch counts more in check. 129 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: Getting better. 130 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's improved so and Rangers just hasn't been healthy 131 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 5: for a full season. 132 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: I know there's other pitchers that are getting paid a 133 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: lot of. 134 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 5: Money who haven't been healthy for full seasons, like glass 135 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 5: Now and others. That's those are risks that the Phillies 136 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 5: can't afford to take because they can't buy over them 137 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 5: like the Los Angeles Dodgers can, or maybe the New 138 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 5: York Yankees of the past. 139 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: Makes sense. 140 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,119 Speaker 4: We are off and running and that was first pitch 141 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 4: presented exclusively by our partners at Parks Casino, Pennsylvania's number 142 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 4: one casino.

This is a long one. This is 306 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: from Paul Rudman on Facebook. He said, who are the 307 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: Phillies trade ships? Best Phillies trade ships this offseason? They 308 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: seem to be unwilling to move the highly regarded prospects 309 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: like Mill or Painter or Crawford. They have contracts and 310 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: no trade clause that seem to prohibit any trade involving Turner, 311 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: Harper Nola. Guys like castiy Allence and Taiwan Walker won't 312 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: bring you much of anything in significance. Back, he said, yeah, 313 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: Bowe was shopped unsuccessfully last offseason, and he's a free 314 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: agent after twenty twenty six. Paul says, Bryce and Stott 315 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: he's got two more years of team control. You guys 316 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: have any thought? Nebraska says he sees Stotts as an 317 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: everyday second basement but with Sosa camp impossibly with Miller, 318 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: all on the roster. At some point in twenty twenty six, 319 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: does mister A Okay become dispensable? 320 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 4: Oh, I think I think they would listen on Stott 321 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 4: big time. I don't know they have a great trade 322 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 4: ship because they're going to be protective of Miller and 323 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 4: Crawford and Painter, So those are your best best ones 324 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 4: that I think they need to get younger. 325 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 3: They'll be protective of those guys on the big league roster. 326 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 4: You know you're not going to trade Sanchez, young, talented, good, 327 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 4: not too expensive, so he's not a trade Probably Bowman, 328 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 4: Staut and I don't know that they're great trade ships. 329 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 4: And maybe Stott Marcaus came along a little bit in 330 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 4: the second half, plays an excellent defense, two years of 331 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 4: control left. 332 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 3: I guess maybe Stott Ruin Yeah. 333 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 5: I mean Stott and Marsha are three guys that you 334 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 5: would consider. I don't know if they're their best trade chips. 335 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 5: That's why I'm so fascinated by this offseason. They put 336 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 5: themselves in a position with you know, the long term 337 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 5: contracts and the no trades that it ties some things 338 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 5: up a little bit without question, And maybe you want 339 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 5: to be tied up. 340 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 2: To these guys because they're still pretty good players. 341 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 5: I think the reality of it is that they're going 342 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 5: to try to I think they're going to try to 343 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 5: be as open minded as possible. I think you have 344 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 5: to listen on everything, and you know, they want to 345 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 5: get a little bit younger. I'm sure they want to 346 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 5: get a little bit better. I'm sure. But it's not 347 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 5: going to be cheap. And so, you know, there's not 348 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 5: a ton of guys out there on the free agent 349 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 5: market that really float your boat. There's some people that 350 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 5: we will certainly help your team, and there's some impact players, 351 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 5: but you know, the dollars associated with bringing some of 352 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 5: those impact players are going to be prohibitive. A lot 353 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 5: of it's going to start with schober as we talked 354 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 5: about Schobert and JT, and see where their payrolls are 355 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 5: after that and kind of go from there and see 356 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 5: how they can move the pieces around. You know, it's 357 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 5: like having a piece of pie. You got to have 358 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 5: a full pie at the end of the day, and 359 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 5: you've got to figure out, you know, what pieces of 360 00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 5: that pie are you going to get back and which 361 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 5: one are you going to discard. 362 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 2: And it's not gonna be an easy task for I 363 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: need to come. 364 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 4: Out of this winter with a right handed bat in 365 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 4: the middle. Sorry, yeah, you know. 366 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: How you love to have a guy like Bregman. But 367 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 2: do you have to trade? You know? 368 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 5: Do you have to start going through the path of 369 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 5: like moving a big contract like. 370 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 2: Harper's or or Turners to do that? Is that robbing 371 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 2: Peter to pay Paul? 372 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 5: I just don't know if they have the I just 373 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 5: don't think they have the payroll flexibility to be able 374 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 5: to bring on a guy like that or a big 375 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 5: right handed bat. But there might be one out there. 376 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 5: Tampa Bay might have a right handed bat that they 377 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 5: feel is you know, and arbitration is going to be 378 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 5: too heavy for him and they can make a trade 379 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 5: with them. 380 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 2: There's some bats out there. 381 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 5: I just don't know all of them. But it's gonna 382 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 5: be fascinating to see if they how they go about 383 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 5: their business as far as movie some of the pieces 384 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 5: around so that they're not coming back with basically the 385 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 5: same team. 386 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: Right. Well, this is a Steve g four to twelve 387 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: on X. They lose Schwarber. We talked about this earlier 388 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: and this was a fun little episode. But I'm gonna 389 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: ask you Ayes again, do they go for Alonso or 390 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: do they trade Boone to sign Bashett or Alex Bregman. 391 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: I would I mean, Pete Alonso in this lineup hitting 392 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: behind Bryce would be just a lot of fun, a 393 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: lot of fun. 394 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 4: But if if I lose Schwarbro, don't retain Schwarber, you 395 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 4: need a DH. I think Petere Alonzo's turnkey. There probably 396 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 4: a little first base now and then when you want 397 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 4: to rest Price. 398 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 2: I agree with that. 399 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 5: I also, you know, I also think that you you 400 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 5: you know, the fact that I think that they're gonna 401 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 5: leave Bryce at first base that ties him up a 402 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 5: little bit. It sounds like after hearing them Brown speak 403 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 5: that they want to keep him at first base. And 404 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 5: you know, a lot of it will depend on how 405 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 5: these guys come back and play. I mean, Dombrowski talked 406 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 5: about it. I think Bryce will have a better year 407 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 5: this year coming up. He had a good year, didn't 408 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 5: have a great year, and they're hopeful that he bounces 409 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 5: back and becomes a guy who you know, becomes great again. 410 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 4: Correction, Rob said that Bryce we'll have the best season 411 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 4: of his career. Dave wondered aloud if he was right, 412 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 4: good or elite right, the challenge heard around the world. 413 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: That's the general. 414 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: Gene Morris on Facebook. Who's the starting center fielder on 415 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: opening day? Bader, Crawford, Marsh, someone else. 416 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 3: That's a great question. 417 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be I think it's going to 418 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 2: be somebody else. 419 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 5: I don't think. I don't think it's going to be 420 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 5: Batter and it's not going to be Marsh. And I 421 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 5: think Crawford is ticketed to play left field. I think that, 422 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 5: you know, I think that's my gut feeling, and it 423 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 5: might be somebody completely different. It could be your boy 424 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 5: Loreano or someone like that, Jim. I just have a 425 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 5: feeling that it might be a different center fielder, and 426 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 5: I like for them to maybe mix it up a 427 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 5: little bit. But Marsh and right, Crawford and left another 428 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 5: guy in center, whoever that is, go from there. 429 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 3: I agree. 430 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 4: I mean, there's a multitude of candidates. I wouldn't rule 431 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 4: out something happening with Batter and then figuring out a 432 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 4: way to retain them, just because it's nice to have 433 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 4: somebody who can really go get it and has an 434 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 4: idea at the plate. Rojas could go get it. He 435 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 4: didn't really have an idea to play. 436 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: We didn't even talk about Rojas. 437 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 4: So I kind of wonder if I kind of wonder 438 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 4: if they might figure out a way to retain Beta, 439 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 4: maybe just sweeten up that one year deal and move 440 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 4: the option back a year. 441 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: It's a possibility. 442 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 4: I don't know if a guy in his thirties would 443 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 4: do that, if that makes good business sense. 444 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 5: But I like the outfield of Beata and center Crawford 445 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 5: and left in Martian, right. 446 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 2: I like that. I like that option. 447 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: You'd be great defensively, you know that. 448 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, get some speed out there. 449 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 5: I don't know how much offense you're going to get 450 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 5: out of Crawford in his rookie year, but you're gonna 451 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 5: get some some speed and you'll get some athleticism out 452 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 5: there in the outfield. 453 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: It'll be a very good defensive outfield. Yeah. 454 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 4: Bater's bounced around so much, you know, I wonder what 455 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 4: his market will look like, how much demand there would 456 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 4: be for him, and if this might be. 457 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 3: The best place for him. It's a great point. 458 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: Age thirty one season, you know, by far offensively the 459 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: best year he's had in a long time. So yeah, 460 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 1: I think I mean, if I was a GM, I 461 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: would be asking all of my people, do we believe this? 462 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: Do we believe that this is who he is? Before 463 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: we offer him three years forty five and you know, 464 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: he goes back to hitting two thirty with an eighty 465 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: eight OPI you know what I'm saying, or whatever that 466 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: number three years thirty even, you know, whatever it is. 467 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 5: But the point that you make is a good one 468 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 5: because the agent's going to be saying, this is going 469 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 5: to be the last time I'm going to be able 470 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 5: to cash in on Harrison batter because I don't see 471 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 5: him signing like a two year deal and then having 472 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 5: better numbers than he put together this year. 473 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 2: Offensively, it could happen, but this. 474 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 5: Is his best offensive year and he's going to want 475 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 5: to try to cash in on a multi year deal. 476 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 5: Who knows what the marketplace is going to be out 477 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 5: there for him. We just have to wait and see. 478 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, this was this was out there, but I just 479 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: wanted to mention this. Rob Jones on Facebook. Would you 480 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: trade Nolan Aernato for Nick Castiano's kind of a sunk 481 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: cost versus sunk cost? I mean they're going to do 482 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: something with Nick Castianos. I don't see why the Cardinals 483 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: would want to do that, other than they would get 484 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: rid of two years of Nolan Aernado. 485 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 3: But it depends what happens with Bomb boomynh. 486 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 4: I know Aeronauto is going the other way, but I 487 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 4: wonder what a fresh start a contender would do for him. 488 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 3: But what is the money. I'd have to look up 489 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 3: the two moneies. 490 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: Well, Nick Nicks owed one year obviously twenty million. He's 491 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: got twenty million left on his deal. 492 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 2: Okay, and no thirty something, isn't it. 493 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: He's thirty four and he's got two years left on 494 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: his deal. 495 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 2: Just almost seventy million. 496 00:25:53,920 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 4: I think I'm not and I'm not sure that off 497 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 4: his own high end, Bloom would want to. 498 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 5: Have n that's right, might want to if he can 499 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 5: move him, but I don't think that's the type of 500 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 5: move that he wants to make. 501 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,959 Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like his type of player. 502 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want to mention because that's a name 503 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: that will get mentioned, especially if the Boom trade talks. 504 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: Who's going to play third base?
