1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,640 Speaker 1: I disagree. 2 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 2: You put the stadium in the right place, you do 3 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 2: the right thing, people will come. I promise you. Look 4 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 2: at the Ray's TV ratings. They're great attendants. Not so 5 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 2: great because of the ballpark. 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 3: Charge. We are charging the mound and the Tampa Bay 7 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 3: Race might need a name change soon. So we get 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 3: the news officially from the press release in AJ's dancing 9 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 3: because this puts them one step closer to perhaps another city. 10 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 3: But here's Brian Hoak saying the Rays announced they're not 11 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 3: moving forward with a new ballpark in Saint Petersburg. How 12 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,599 Speaker 3: Steinberner has said the Yankee spring training facility is only 13 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 3: a one year solution. And I did read the whole 14 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 3: press release. It essentially said, hey, not working out with 15 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 3: Saint Pete. Clearly they're still fighting about the money and 16 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 3: they're excited to get back into the trap because that 17 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 3: falls on Saint Pete to put that together. Here is Dan, 18 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 3: and I don't know how to say Dan's name, but 19 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 3: he's a smart fangrafts writer. On some level, you have 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 3: to admire them for having the nerve to thank their 21 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 3: fans for the support. The press release that's along witted 22 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 3: sat way of saying thank you, And it's not think 23 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 3: so anyway. AJ, we get this news actually much earlier 24 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 3: than expected. The deadline for them to come up with 25 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 3: the money and the deal here with Saint Petersburg was 26 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 3: March thirty. First, we're weeks out. Do you think this 27 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 3: means that something might change. I we've had so much 28 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 3: back and forth for twenty years with the Rays, for 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 3: twenty years with the a's MLB's waiting for this stuff 30 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 3: to happen. The latest negotiation, back and forth. Essentially I'm 31 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 3: paraphrasing here on what's going on is that you had 32 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 3: a hurricane. It stalled things. It makes the project cost more, 33 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 3: and the Rays don't want to foot the bill for 34 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 3: the extra money. And Saint Petersburg's like, this is it. 35 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 3: We are not giving you any more public tax dollars. 36 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 37 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: That and I don't know that Sternberg has the money. 38 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: He has to come up with what's seven hundred million 39 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: dollars or some crazy number for half of the range, 40 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: yeah or whatever was So I mean there's rumors also 41 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: that they weren't sure that he had the money. So 42 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: I think this is a combination of a lot. I 43 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: don't think they're going to be back in Saint Pete. 44 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: You've already seen rumors of Manfred be saying, hey, you know, 45 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: other owners saying, hey, we got we got to get 46 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: a new ownership group in there to make things happen. 47 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: And I think that's the most logical step. Nest Is 48 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: is stew and his group of people have to sell 49 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: to the highest bidder and then they have to figure 50 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: it out because whether it's in Tampa, whether that's in Orlando, 51 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 2: wherever it is. But they want to keep the team 52 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: in Florida. They just don't know where it's going to be. 53 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 4: Now. 54 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 2: Tampa makes obviously the most sense because they already have 55 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: a built in fan base of being the Tampa Bay Rays. 56 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: But if that can't they they've been trying to get 57 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: a stadium there for twenty plus years and it hasn't 58 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 2: worked out. But hey, there's a town not far down 59 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: the street. Does it starts with the know and ends 60 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: in Orlando that would welcome them gladly? 61 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: Do we think this is done? Like, does this press 62 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 3: release really tell us the raise. 63 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: And it's done with this? It's done with the ownership group. 64 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: To me, I believe I think this is the end 65 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: of because don't forget. The mayor of Saint Peter already 66 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: came out and said, you know, we've done everything we can. 67 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: We're at the end of our row. It's time for 68 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: them to do something right. It's time for Sternberg and 69 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: his group to do something. So I think, to me, 70 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: the mayor jumped it and said, hey, I'm not going 71 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 2: to be the mayor that loses the team, so I'm 72 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 2: gonna put the pressure on them, and then the Rays 73 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: to come out and say thank you for all your 74 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: support and whatever, and then Brian Hoak saying it's only 75 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 2: a one year situation and them saying, oh, we're not 76 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: pursuing this because let's not forget. There's a lot of 77 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: real estate people that had big plans for this area. 78 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: I mean was across the street in the parking lot 79 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: they were looking at like a battery type of thing. 80 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: So for them to come out and say it's not happening, 81 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: it's a big blow to the city of Saint Petersburg, 82 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: But it's also a big blow to money people in 83 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: the city of Saint Pete in that area because people 84 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: had invested money in it. So that's why I think 85 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: it's dead. I don't know, can you revive it possibly, 86 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: but I think it's time for them. They're gonna have 87 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: to figure out another situation. 88 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 3: Yeah if I mean, perhaps a new ownership group can 89 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: revive it if they take over and say, hey, we're 90 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 3: going to honor that deal. But that's got to happen 91 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 3: in the next few weeks. The team's not getting sold 92 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: in two and a half weeks. 93 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 4: No, not getting sold and not like you can't just 94 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 4: find that kind of money, Like it's hard to be like, 95 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 4: you know, I got five hundred million, but where am 96 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 4: I going to come up with the other two hundred 97 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: and sixty million to suffice what I need for the stadium? 98 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 4: To me, I think it's a great job by the 99 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 4: government whoever made I think the mayor made the made 100 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 4: the decision. Governor made the decision to stand firm like, no, 101 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 4: we can't pay more. We've already committed a lot. And 102 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 4: in this case, you own a business, you want to 103 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 4: have it somewhere, you have to step up. And if 104 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 4: he's not willing to step up, go ahead and move 105 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 4: on because this isn't just like, this isn't just sell 106 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 4: the Rays and that's it. Manford's already drawn a line 107 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 4: in the sand and said, if we don't get the 108 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 4: situation with the a's and rays taking care of first, 109 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 4: we can't go to expansion. So now you have the 110 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 4: head honcho saying, okay, we have to push this so 111 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 4: that we can each get our two billion dollar expansion 112 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 4: fees for all the owners. It's a lot of money. 113 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 4: Four billion dollars for two new expansion teams. It'll be 114 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 4: under Manford's legacy. 115 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, there has to be a competition in order for 116 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 3: MLB to get what it wants with public tax dollars, 117 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: real estate, et cetera. Right, So, just to explain this, 118 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: let's say the top two contenders on the west side 119 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 3: of the country are Portland and Salt Lake City, Okay, 120 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 3: And on the east side it's one of the big 121 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 3: cities in the Carolinas, Right, like a what have you 122 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 3: been talking about Riley Durham, Charlotte, Charlotte, Yeah, kind. 123 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: Of a national World or Nashville. 124 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 3: You can't eliminate one of those top contenders because then 125 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 3: it takes leverage away, right, because they're going to say, hey, 126 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 3: for example, Portland, Salt Lake City, let's break down the finances. 127 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: Which city is giving us the most money, Which city 128 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 3: is giving us the most realist state, the best project 129 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 3: around the stadium, that includes owning everything possible to make 130 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: this as lucrative as possible. That is what happens in 131 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 3: this analysis when they're figuring out which team is going 132 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: to get a new team or right, which city is 133 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 3: going to get a new team AJ So it can't 134 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: just be one city. So anyway, that's why they want to. 135 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: Get it for Vegas. 136 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: They already lost Vegas because that was one that was 137 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 2: rumored for an expansion team. That's why the A's saying 138 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: we're gonna move to Vegas kind of put a you know, 139 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: a hitching their gideo so to speak, right, because that 140 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: was the one city where everyone's like, oh, Vegas is 141 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 2: the place they'll figure out how to get the money 142 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 2: like the Golden Knights did. And the Vegas people were like, yes, 143 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: we'll take an expansion team, we just don't want to 144 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 2: use team like the A's. So that's why when the 145 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: A's announced, oh We're going to Vegas, then they're like, oh, man, 146 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: who else can we come up with on the west 147 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: coast because you kind of got to do one east 148 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: and west. That's where Salt Lake is kind of embidding. 149 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 2: Portland's kind of out there, right, and you have Nashville 150 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 2: and the Carolinas, whether it's Roley, Durham or Charlotte, so 151 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 2: that I'll put them in. I don't know what's gonna happen, 152 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 2: but I think that the fact that you have two 153 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: teams playing in a minor league park this year is 154 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: crazy to me. Two major league teams are playing in 155 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: minor league parks. That's insane to me. And also, you 156 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: got to figure out Tampa. You got to figure out 157 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: when Vegas is finally done, and if you want to 158 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: do expansion, I think it's a few years away because 159 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: of all the other things going on. But you got 160 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: to find the right fit for these teams, because you 161 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: don't want an expansion team going let's say to Portland 162 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: and I'm just using Portland or Salt Lake or wherever 163 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: it is, and then five years from now saying no, 164 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 2: this is viable, we can go to the other one 165 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: that also bid. You don't want that.

I mean, we're close 194 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 3: to two decades of staring matches and projects that have 195 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: not happened. Right, this was sigin seal delivered. We did 196 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: the whole press release. Let's talk about it. Spend a 197 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: nice fifteen twenty minutes on FT how awesome this is 198 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 3: going to be. They deserve a new park. The trap 199 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 3: is not pretty. I mean, this is seventeen plus years 200 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 3: now of working on this. So I do actually think 201 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: I agree with you that at this point you're not 202 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 3: going to see this ownership group figure it out with 203 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: Saint Pete. I mean, they've made that quite clear. And 204 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 3: the other side of the equation here is will they 205 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 3: actually sell and will they do it soon or will 206 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 3: it get ugly with MLB and even the MLBPA because 207 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: part of this whole equation is revenue sharing money and 208 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: it's estimated that the Rays got about sixty million dollars 209 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 3: per year in free money from the league to operate 210 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 3: as a smaller market franchise. There are also other smaller 211 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 3: market franchises that are pissed about it. 212 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: I want to know why the Rays are considered small market. 213 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 2: Explain that to me, because they're in the top I 214 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 2: think they're twelve in TV markets. 215 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: They're twelfth. 216 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: They're not like Vegas is like I think fortieth or 217 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: in the late thirties. Tampa Bay Area is twelfth in 218 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: a TV market, So why are they considered small market? 219 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, it looks like they're they're top twelve. 220 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm on Wikipedia real quick for TV markets 221 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 3: right now, and it looks like Tampa Saint Pete is 222 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 3: number eleven and the Bay Area is number ten. You know, 223 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 3: in the A's obviously had been getting all that kind 224 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 3: of money for. 225 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: A long time. 226 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 5: You know. 227 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: The funniest the A's didn't get that money. That's why 228 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: when they moved to Sacramento, they did get the money, 229 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 2: because that's why they had to spend the money. 230 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: Right It's like Miami. 231 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 2: Why is Miami not spending the money where Miami's like 232 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 2: top ten markets. 233 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 3: No, they're well They're listed as eighteen, so they're a 234 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 3: little bit. 235 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: So they're eighty, so they're smaller than Tampa. Okay, but 236 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: Miami's been getting money and they're not spending it, So 237 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: why don't Why are they not getting why are they 238 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 2: getting a pass right? That's why I think this is 239 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 2: so frustrating and confusing to people is because nobody really 240 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 2: knows who gets what money. No one's really coming out 241 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: and saying, oh, well, Pittsburgh gets money this why would 242 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 2: Tampa get money? They're tough, they're eleventh and TV size. 243 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: Isn't that supposed to be a big market? 244 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 4: Yeah? 245 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 3: What about the people that say, hey, Florida doesn't care, 246 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 3: they can't support baseball. 247 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: I disagree. 248 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 3: Disgree, I disagree too. 249 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: I disagree. 250 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: You put the stadium in the right place, you do 251 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: the right thing, you build up the area around it. 252 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: I mean, listen, Miami has a great new giant stadium. 253 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: They put in a bad spot. If say what you 254 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 2: want about where the Dolphins play in Lauderdale, but you 255 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 2: can draw from Palm Beach, Oca Lauderdale and Miami in Miami. 256 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 2: Nobody from Lauderdale in North is going to drive down 257 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: to Miami to a stadium that, quite frankly, isn't easy 258 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 2: to get to. There's really bad parking, and it's not 259 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: I mean, listen, it ain't in the greatest area. Okay, 260 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: I mean you remember where the old Orange Bowl was. 261 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: Got you went to the University of Miami. 262 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: It's Note Bowl. 263 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and I don't mean that rudely at all, 264 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: but it just isn't in a great spot. And then 265 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: you take Tampa. Nobody from Tampa and East Orlando ish 266 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: and even you can you throw Sarasota in them in there. 267 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: Not a lot of people want to go over the 268 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: Giant Bridge, the Sunshine Causeway, which is the huge bridge, 269 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: and nobody wants to go over one of the other 270 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 2: bridges from Tampa because they always get backed up and 271 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: it could take you thirty minutes, it could take you 272 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 2: three hours. You just never know, and it's just a pain. Yes, 273 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 2: they've done a lot to spruce ub Saint Pete, but 274 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: there's not a ton around the ballpark, so you have 275 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: to go into Saint Pete. It's not it's just if 276 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: you build it in the right place, people will come. 277 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 2: I promise you. Look at the Ray's TV ratings, they're 278 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: great attendants not so great because of the ballpark. 279 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 3: Well, just because we're Florida residents and obviously you're mister Orlando, 280 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 3: but you know the state really well. I've seen comments 281 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 3: on clips when we talked about this topic, and some 282 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 3: people have said, well, there would be plenty of traffic 283 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 3: issues in Tampa and it's not like Orlando as a 284 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 3: breeze with traffic either compared to many other spots. What's 285 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 3: your response to that, Like, if it does end up 286 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 3: in one of those places, will it be easier? 287 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: It depends again where they put it. 288 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 4: Now. 289 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 2: There's main thoroughfares in both of those spots, right in 290 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 2: Tampa where some of the projected stadiums have gone. But again, 291 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 2: if you build up the area around it and make 292 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: it a nation like they did in the Battery, because 293 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: guess what they said about the Battery in Atlanta. 294 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: Oh, it's traffic, da da da da. People go there 295 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: all the time. 296 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: We've seen how much money the Braves have made off 297 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: off the truest park since they put it in. Right, 298 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 2: look at Saint Louis with ballpark village. There's not much 299 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 2: around there, meaning highways and traffic and all that. But 300 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 2: guess what people go because there's a bunch around it. 301 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: That's the key. 302 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: You have to be able to put it in put 303 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 2: something around it. I know some of the places they've 304 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 2: talked about. In Orlando, there's multiple multiple major highways. They've 305 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 2: talked about putting a train station in there on the 306 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 2: light rail so people can get in from Tampa and 307 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: Miami and everywhere else to come to games. And in Tampa, 308 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: you'd have to do the same thing. You just have 309 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: to make it a spot where it's not just a ballpark. 310 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: It has to have other things around it so people 311 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 2: can get there at four o'clock, five o'clock, go have dinner, 312 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 2: then go to the game. It's a day gaming, go 313 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: have lunch, stay after, have dinner after the game. Right, 314 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: So it's not just in and out. It has to 315 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 2: be something where it's a destination with other things to 316 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: do besides just the baseball. Yes, the baseball would be 317 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 2: the main attraction, but you have to be able to 318 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 2: have concerts that the people want to go to. You 319 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 2: have to be able to have hotels, apartments, whatever it is. 320 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 2: You have to have that other attractions. That's how you 321 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: make it a destination. 322 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, Restaurants, bars, right, in Atlanta and Atlanta Cobb County 323 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 3: where the Braves play. I mean, that's its own community 324 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 3: with great food, great drinks, the whole deal. And let 325 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 3: me tell you, I have been there plenty of times, 326 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 3: including for the World Series. It ain't easy to get 327 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 3: out of the ballpark right after the game. So what happens. 328 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 3: It's a party in that area and you just plan accordingly. 329 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: In Florida, you could do the same thing like AJ mentioned, 330 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 3: it just has not been drawn up correctly.

We sent you out 507 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 3: there for this inside info. 508 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 509 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 2: I did parking his when I was with when we 510 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 2: were at Dodgers camp on Monday. I did come over 511 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 2: here and I knew he wasn't here, so I did 512 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 2: park in a spot, took a picture and send it 513 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 2: to him, and he's he said, wow, I'm surprised they 514 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 2: remember who I am. 515 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: And I'm like, you're on the. 516 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 4: Team, dude, idea what he looks like? So I'm glad 517 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 4: you're there, not me. 518 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: You don't know what he looks like. You don't know 519 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: what Jerry looks like. 520 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: Really, really, if you saw him, remember when they won 521 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 2: all the Bulls Championships and the White Sox championships. 522 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: He looks the same. 523 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 4: I remember that guy. 524 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, same guys. It's the same day, all right. So 525 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 3: let's get to better than box scores. Because I'm scrolling 526 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 3: through the news sites, you know, USPN, CBS, ETCATRA right 527 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 3: where you're just looking at sports news, and I see 528 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 3: something about Bruce Bochie and the phantomiel, And I'm like, 529 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 3: is this from our show yesterday? So I click on 530 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 3: the article and it, indeed is. There was some fan, 531 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 3: especially Mets fan, feedback on a quote from Bruce Bochie 532 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 3: on our show yesterday. So here's one of the headlines 533 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 3: in CBS. Rangers plan to keep to ground fresh could 534 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 3: include using the il to skip starts. So Boach just 535 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 3: was casually talking about. 536 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: How did he say that? 537 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I dug up the quote, you know, and at 538 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 3: one point like he's I'll just read it real quick 539 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 3: because it's not that long. But he said, we're going 540 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 3: to have him at the back end of the rotation season, 541 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 3: so when he got in there, we have those days 542 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 3: officers for his first five starts to all that that 543 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 3: extra day off. We'll just try to watch his workload. 544 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 3: He's a key for our success. We know what we 545 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 3: got to take care of him try to get as 546 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 3: many starts as we can. Now during the season, if 547 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 3: we have to skip a start or put him on 548 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 3: the il to miss a couple starts to keep him fresh, 549 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 3: we'll do that. To me, this is the essence of 550 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 3: how this works and how casual it is in our sport, 551 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 3: which we've told everyone about for the first two plus 552 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 3: years of this show, aj and how it's so casual 553 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 3: that we just keep going in conversation. But part of 554 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 3: the world stops, like didn't Billy Eppler got in trouble 555 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 3: for this with the Mets. 556 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 2: Okay, first of all, Jacob vc Grum's coming off Tommy 557 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 2: John so every team on Earth will find a way 558 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 2: to limit his innings. And the Rangers would rather have 559 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 2: him healthy at the end of the year when they 560 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 2: believe they're going to be playing for a postseason birth 561 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 2: and have him into the playoffs in the World Series. 562 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 2: So this isn't This was not news to me. Every 563 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: team does this with guys that are coming off surgeries 564 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 2: and injuries and whatever it is, and pitchers in general. 565 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 2: I mean, gosh, Doug, I remember back in two thousand 566 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 2: and five, we used to have to skip ol Duke 567 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 2: because he was older, and we wanted Brandon McCarthy to 568 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 2: come up and start, and so we had al Duke 569 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 2: in the postseason, which he had one of the biggest 570 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: postseason innings of all time. 571 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: So listen, this is not this isoldn't be a story. 572 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 2: I think this is ludicrous and we're making this into 573 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 2: a story. But I mean, come on, he's not talking 574 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 2: roster manipulation. He's talking about trying to keep a guy healthy. 575 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 2: That's what the AL is for, to try to keep 576 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 2: a guy healthy long term for his team. 577 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 4: I don't know if that's what the al's for, because 578 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 4: Billy Eppler got a six month vacation for it, lost 579 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 4: his job. 580 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 3: Like I. 581 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 4: There has to be some type of stipulation because you 582 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 4: can't just say, well, we're going to punish the team 583 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 4: for having a player who's recovering from an injury. Isn't 584 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 4: this the epidemic of baseball is just all these injuries 585 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 4: and reoccurring injuries. So let's try to curtail it here. 586 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 4: Let's make sure we have some caveat in here, because 587 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 4: teams abuse this. This is not a case of abusing 588 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 4: it by the Rangers and Jacob de Grum this is 589 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 4: a case that this is how it should be used. 590 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 4: Other teams abuse it to manipulate the amount of people 591 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 4: that they can have on their big league roster. 592 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 3: Amen, that is correct, and we're not just for the 593 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 3: record making a story of this. National headlines were making 594 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 3: a story out of this, alluding to our conversation yesterday, 595 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 3: so I felt like we had to double down on 596 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 3: it and explain what's going on. Not defending anything. I 597 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 3: more just feel like part of the obligation of our 598 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 3: show with you guys is to just give people a 599 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: peek behind the curtain, to say I got no big deal. 600 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 4: I got put on the phanom my l as Bochie 601 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 4: was my manager. Boachie was my manager when I was 602 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 4: on that team. They were like, we need a third catcher. 603 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 4: We don't have a spot for a third catcher. 604 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 3: Boom, there you go. And boach doesn't give a crap. 605 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 3: He's like, Yo, I got too much dirt in my cleats, 606 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 3: too many rings on my hand to really worry about 607 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 3: this stuff that MGM futures, What do we like with 608 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 3: the al West. I want to keep reminding people will 609 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 3: do official predictions when we get closer to the season, 610 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 3: But we're looking for value here. Houston listed at plus 611 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 3: one sixty, Texas plus two hundred, the Aattle plus two 612 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 3: twenty five, the Aths at plus twenty two hundred, and 613 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 3: the Angels are expected to finish in last place by 614 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 3: bet MGM Odds at plus twenty eight hundred. What do 615 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 3: you like here? 616 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: Aj Aths? Are you kidding me? 617 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,239 Speaker 2: If you watched the show from Clutch last night had 618 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 2: Seth Brown and Gunnar hoggling on and I was like, uh, 619 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: I love the A's so yes, I think plus twenty 620 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 2: two hundred. I think they're young, they're hungry, they made 621 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 2: some nice additions. I think another year of Lawrence law 622 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 2: Dog as you guys call them in there. I think 623 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 2: Langaliers will take another step, Brookers back for another year. 624 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: I think I love what they did. They got springs 625 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: from Tampa Bay. I love what Oakland did, and I 626 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 2: think they're going to be excited. They're going to get 627 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 2: to play in front of a bunch of people in 628 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: a packed howls almost every game. Cots they got an extension, 629 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 2: I mean plus twenty two hundred, Are you kidding me? 630 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 2: I mean that seems like this is one of the 631 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 2: easier bets because if you throw money down, you win. 632 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 2: But that's the one where you can make a lot 633 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,479 Speaker 2: of money off of it. You know me, guys, when 634 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 2: we get into the locks of the day, I'm going 635 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: for the big home runs. I'm not going for the 636 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 2: the Crats and the scot bron you know, minus one 637 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 2: oh five to win one hundred. I'm looking for the 638 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 2: plus three four hundreds. 639 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 4: That's fair. I appreciate that I was a plus man 640 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 4: all year last year, but it's okay. Don't worry about it. 641 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 4: You roll your dice, that's what you do. I wish 642 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 4: the Mariners were like at plus four ten four to 643 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 4: twenty gggity, but they're not. So I'm taking the Rangers. 644 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be. I think it's be 645 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 4: a close race the whole season, I really do. I 646 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 4: don't think anybody's running away with this division. 647 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 3: I don't think it would be crazy to see the 648 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 3: A's win the division this year. I really don't. So 649 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,719 Speaker 3: I'm with AJ. If you're looking for value and you 650 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 3: buy that you want to put a little that way, 651 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 3: I mean, look at the return you're getting. I do 652 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 3: not think that's crazy, Angels, that's crazy, right. The difference 653 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,479 Speaker 3: between those two is not enough for you to be like, oh, 654 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 3: I think the Angels are going to win the division, 655 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 3: because that ain't happening anyway. Bonus code foul if you 656 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 3: want a place up to fifteen hundred bucks paid back 657 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 3: in bone bets if you don't win your first bet 658 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 3: when you sign up, in deposit at least ten bucks 659 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 3: into a bet MGM sportsbook account, a new account on 660 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 3: the app or at betmgm dot com, and if you 661 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 3: lose that first wager, you can get up to fifteen 662 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 3: hundred bucks back in bonus bets if the bet loses 663 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 3: depends on how much you place. Of course, gambling problem 664 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 3: more concern called one in hundred gambler. It's March thirteenth, 665 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 3: and we finally have the last team to sign a 666 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 3: major league or this offseason. It's not really the offseason anymore, 667 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 3: but the Saint Louis Cardinals sign up Phil Aton, who 668 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 3: finished really strong last year in the regular season, obviously 669 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 3: had some playoff moments too good and bad. One year, 670 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 3: two million dollar contract, seventy one appearances last year for 671 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 3: the Rais and the Mets, including a one to nine 672 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 3: to nine ERA in his final forty two regular season 673 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 3: appearances should be part of, you know, a higher leverage, 674 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 3: mid to high leverage role with the Cardinals. And it's 675 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 3: a team that didn't do anything this offseason because they 676 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 3: were just sitting waiting for a team to bite. On Aaronato, 677 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 3: they got one team to do it. He said, no, 678 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 3: I'm good, and they're in a weird mode. But at 679 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 3: least they added someone who should be helpful. And I 680 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 3: think you can book it. He'll be traded in July 681 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 3: and they'll get a prospect out of it. 682 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 4: This screams, well they told us to not that Phil 683 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 4: Yiton shouldn't be a big leaguer and get a big 684 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 4: league contract. To me, he's a soft thrower that gets 685 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 4: extremely soft contact. So why he was sitting out here 686 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 4: this long? I have no idea the way he turned 687 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 4: his season around after I think the end of the 688 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 4: previous season twenty three he had a little hiccup, but 689 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 4: don't quote me on that. On now I'm second guessing it. 690 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 4: But either way, like it almost feels like the Cardinals 691 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 4: were told you gotta sign somebody like this looks bad. 692 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 4: I mean, the Marlin's even got somebody. 693 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 3: And Katie Wu, who hosts Cardinal territory will go over this, 694 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 3: I'm sure with an episode at some point this week 695 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 3: she was tweeting about it because I guess some fans 696 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 3: are like, let the young kids pitch. I'm like, one 697 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 3: film a time, signing is not going to hurt anyone, Okay. 698 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 3: One veteran in the bullpen, and and Olie Marmol was 699 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 3: asked about it actually had a good answer where he 700 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 3: was like, Hey, some dudes aren't ready, So we are 701 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 3: going to put our development in a bad position if 702 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 3: we don't fill a spot or two here with veteran 703 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 3: arms like a minor league contract guy and like a 704 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 3: major league deal, which is what we see here with 705 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 3: Phil Maton. So I'm like, hold up, we want a 706 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 3: youth movement, but an armor two is okay. 707 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 4: Yes, you need to complete the innings. You do not 708 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 4: need to rush pitchers. You need to give position players 709 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 4: some leash, give them at backs. Giving pitchers leash and 710 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 4: throwing them out there is only going to get them 711 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 4: hurt because they're going to try to do something that 712 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 4: they're not capable or able to do. Yet. 713 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 3: Bingo looks like it's getting a little stormy out of 714 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 3: the back man. Yeah, it didn't rain. 715 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 4: It didn't rain. When we heard the Dodgers side of 716 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 4: side of camp. I'm just saying, just just make sure 717 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 4: we realized it was like sunny birds were out. We 718 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 4: go to White Sox camp and it's like, can't can't 719 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 4: get anything done. They're getting all their work in White 720 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 4: Sox side, cloudy, rainy, windy, No birds. Not one bird 721 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 4: the whole day, No kind of wild. And I wore 722 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 4: a minor League hat because I couldn't find my White 723 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 4: Sox hat. 724 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 3: Well, you can show it now, what did you wear? 725 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 3: Or you don't want to show it. That's one of 726 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 3: those new ones, were there? 727 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, it does, the new ones, the new ones with 728 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 4: the mistakes on it. Oh my goodness, that is hilarious, 729 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 4: just because of the words that it spells. 730 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that that one. That one's an issue. It was 731 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 3: covered in depth on Fair Territory today, so if you 732 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 3: want to check it out. There were some mistakes. The 733 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 3: main point I want to make is just that I 734 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 3: don't understand sometimes how things get approved. You know, how 735 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 3: something would get past so many people and then be 736 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 3: produced and then get noticed. 737 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 4: It's not like on our show, where like aj Or, 738 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 4: I look at a tweet and go, oh, what somebody 739 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 4: sold the rais Oh wait, no, nobody sold it like that. 740 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 4: That didn't happen. It was a fake tweet. Sorry, Like 741 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 4: you don't just like fake make a hat and be like, oh, whoops, 742 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 4: we put a we put ass on a hat. 743 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 3: Come on, officially licensed. Doesn't the league have to approve 744 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 3: that too. 745 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure. 746 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 3: I'm actually positive they do. They do approve anything somebody 747 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 3: that's got their stamp on it. So this is multiple 748 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 3: checks and balances and a lot of people in trouble 749 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 3: for those hats that went viral. 750 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 4: And that's not even the worst one. Everybody needs to 751 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 4: go to look at the Texas hat. Just look at 752 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 4: it and then we're golate. 753 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, apparently they're selling online for a ton 754 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 3: of money, just as a collector's item or whatever, right, 755 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 3: because it's just crazy that something like that would get 756 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 3: all the way to production and sale online. Anyway, this 757 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 3: was fun.
