1 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: When you see those birds, you know it's time for 2 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: another edition of Cardinal Territory. Jim Hay is alongside Lance 3 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: Lynn and Kyle Gibson. A lot to get to on 4 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: this edition. But Kyle, if you don't mind, Lance had 5 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: a problem traveling, and I'd like to get the story 6 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: because there was bad weather in New York and he 7 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: had to spend a lot of time at the airport. 8 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: And because I care not just about the show, what 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: about you two and met holidays individuals. I would like 10 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: to hear Lance's story. 11 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 2: Oh you know, it's a lovely, beautiful New York snow day. 12 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 2: You know, you wake up on Sunday morning, You're like, man, 13 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 2: we've got an early flight. We had a beautiful you know, 14 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: we got to see the rockets. Mama Mia, the kids 15 00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: loved it. Wife loved it. Everybody's happy. Snowing. It's knowing 16 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: so bad. How you can't even see city Field from LaGuardia, 17 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: That's how bad it is. You know you came and 18 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: see it across there. So yeah, so we sat there 19 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:15,639 Speaker 2: from we sat there from six am to five pm, 20 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 2: just hoping our fight didn't get canceled because there was 21 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 2: probably half the flights got canceled that morning, and they 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 2: just kept pushing back. I saw, I saw Jeff Mathis 23 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: of all people in the airport with his family. They 24 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: did the same. Yeah, it was you know, it was 25 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: just like a little reunion in the airport. 26 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: You know. 27 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: But you know we were salomon it in the sky club, 28 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: so we weren't hurting by any means. 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 3: So you know, so so buts I got to go 30 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 3: to the sky club, got it naturally. 31 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, if you want to see former teammates 32 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: in or in New York Airport LaGuardia, it's going to 33 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: be in the sky Club or you or you're not 34 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: going to see it. So yeah, so just a good 35 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: old fashioned sky club day, you know, tough, tough tickets 36 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: for the kids. Uh, you know, they had to travel tough. 37 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 2: So the only thing would have been better is if 38 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: we went privately. I don't think we would have got 39 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: out of either. So part of the gig this time 40 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: of year in New York, you know that you got 41 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: to deal with the weather. 42 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: Kyle Ky Club membership. 43 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 3: No, no, Jim, I think Lan's going to have answered 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: that right off the rip. We don't have that clear. 45 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 2: Hey, if he did as a bragg because I know that. 46 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about clear and tsa pre check, you know, 47 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 3: last time. So I think Jim is that's kind of 48 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 3: where we're at. You know, you're in the sky club. 49 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 3: I'm in Clear, Jim is going to be in Clear. 50 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: You know. 51 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: It's we're in three different three different areas there. 52 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: No question about it. Well, the Cardinals did make a move. 53 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: They signed Dustin May to a one year free agent contract. 54 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: Twenty eight year old right hander seven and eleven last 55 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: year between the Dodgers and the Red Sox. You're eight 56 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: four point nine to six on the positive side over 57 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty two innings pitch, which is a 58 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: major high for him. Electric stuff earlier in his career, 59 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: no question about that. But the problem has been injuries, 60 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: he said Tommy John. Then he had the extra Tommy 61 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: John to fix the earlier Tommy John. He said, forearm. 62 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: He had an esophagus tear that cost him a lot 63 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: of time after he choked on a piece of lettuce. 64 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: So the talent is there. My opinion is this is 65 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: a no brainer. It's a low risk, one year deal, 66 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: high reward because this guy at his best is really 67 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: really good. And he appears to be healthy now. So Kyle, 68 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: you're nodding, I'm gonna start with you. How do you 69 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: look at this move? 70 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 3: Yeah? I like it a lot. I think he's a 71 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 3: guy that, like you said, has the upside with that 72 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: electric stuff. I think he can end up being somebody 73 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 3: that is a game changer for the rotation if he 74 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: has another full season. I haven't looked at his outliers 75 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: and kind of the advanced numbers to see, you know, 76 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 3: maybe what that fIF is. Maybe he had a couple 77 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: outings in that one hundred and thirty innings that you know, 78 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 3: inflated that era a little bit, but nearly a strikeout. Parenting, 79 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 3: He's got some funk to his delivery, throws hard, and 80 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember the most recent injury here last 81 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 3: year was that his first full season off of that 82 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 3: most recent tom of John. So I think that the 83 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 3: farther you get away from that, I think the better 84 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: he's going to be. 85 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: For him in there, too, Lance, what are your thoughts. 86 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 2: Like positive? Kyle said, you're looking at young with good stuff, 87 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: low risk because the one year you know he's got 88 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: a you know, high spin sweeper, you know, great sinker, 89 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: the strikeouts are there could even be more with this 90 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 2: stuff he has. That's something for Dusty to play with. 91 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: And uh so here's the here's the negative. I think 92 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: that you look at it, it's like, man, he threw 93 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty two innings and that's the most ever. 94 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: But as as Kyle was talking about, you're looking at 95 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: his probably is really a second full year of actually 96 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: pitching away from the last Tommy John. I think that's 97 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: when you kind of hit your stride. You look at 98 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: the age. The age is in a good spot. He's 99 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: trending in the direction of Hey, you know, if it's 100 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty innings now it's one hundred and fifty, 101 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: maybe one hundred and sixty. And the note that I 102 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 2: had on him and from get go, I gotta spend 103 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 2: a little time with him in LA when he was 104 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: dealing with all the injuries. He's a great guy. Everybody 105 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: loves him, and he comes from a World Series pedigree, really, 106 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: and you're looking at a rotation that needs somebody that 107 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: has been in situations done it. Obviously, he's you know, 108 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: could have been in more with health, but you're looking 109 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: at a guy who's been in a championship organization, has 110 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: been taught how to do a lot of different things. 111 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: When it comes to pitching, the way that the Dodgers 112 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: teach pitching could be really huge for some of these 113 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: younger pitchers. I mean, heck younger that he's only like 114 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 2: two years older than all these guys because he's only 115 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: twenty eight years old. But his ability to maybe community 116 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: with those guys and stuff like that, it's going to 117 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: be huge for a young group trying to establish themselves. 118 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 2: And he's still trying to establish himself, but he's still 119 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 2: still had success, especially in the playoffs and stuff like that, 120 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 2: and has a couple of world serious strings to show 121 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: for it being a part of a good organization in 122 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: La So I think all in all, it's gonna be 123 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 2: a good a good spot for him. 124 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: He's a ginger, I want to point that out. And 125 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: also kind of when there's a guy who was like 126 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: considered like the future for the Dodgers, right, and then 127 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: the injuries you know, getting away, and then there's one 128 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: then there's something inside each professional athlete, especially a guy 129 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: is lance point that has performed at a high level, 130 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: there's that hunger to get back there isn't there. 131 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. I think injuries are something that easily 132 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: eat it's at you as is I think, you know, 133 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 3: poor performance. You know, I think, yeah, he's gonna want 134 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 3: to go out there and and at least to himself, 135 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: even say, man, another full season, I know I can 136 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 3: pitch even better. I know I can feel even better 137 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: going to a great city, to live in a great ballpark, 138 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: to pitch in a team that you know he probably 139 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: has the ability to, you know, like Lance said, and 140 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 3: be that veteran, be the guy that you know, kind 141 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: of leads a pitching staff maybe for the first time ever, 142 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: which I know for me that was pretty exciting. That 143 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 3: was an interesting, uh dynamic. When I got you know, 144 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: signed with Baltimore in twenty twenty three, was figuring out 145 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: all right, now I can kind of put into work 146 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: here what Lance has ingrained him in the last three 147 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 3: years of being with him. So hopefully he enjoys that. 148 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 3: Hopefully that's something that you know, he can run with, 149 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: and you know, I think he's really gonna like it 150 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 3: in Saint Louis, and I think this is what we've 151 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: talked about the last couple of shows here. I feel 152 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 3: like is find these guys that have the ability to 153 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: make your players better as they get better and as 154 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: you feel like you can help them. And then if 155 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 3: you end up being a playoff team, which I think 156 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: they can, you keep him and you go the full year, 157 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 3: and now you're like, man, he just got lightning in 158 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 3: a bottle. If he throws really well and the team struggles, 159 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: he's a guy that you can trade away. And I'm 160 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 3: sure that's gonna be part of the understanding going into this. 161 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: And either way, it's a one year deal, which is 162 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: really a no brainer. And Lance, looked back on your 163 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: own career, I think twenty eight is like the ideal 164 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: age for a pitcher, especially if he can put those 165 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: injuries in the rear view mirror. 166 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, and like I said, he was brought up in 167 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: an organization. He knows how to pitch, and he's when 168 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: he's been on the field, he's been really good before injuries. 169 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: Last year was your Like, people don't realize that first 170 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 2: like full year of getting back the ins and outs 171 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 2: of how your elbow feels and the things you have 172 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: to deal with because he hadn't pitched in what two 173 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: years at that point give or take. You know, he's 174 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: had some spots here there where he's been healthy, but 175 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 2: he hasn't had time to really get his feet under him. 176 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: He had to go through some ups and downs last year. 177 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 2: You're gonna have Indians and you're gonna have days when 178 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 2: you just don't have stuff because you haven't been able 179 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: to navigate a season. It's a similar thing that we're 180 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 2: talking about Libby. Last year it was his first full 181 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 2: season doing it right. This has been his first full 182 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 2: season in a long time doing it. You have to 183 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 2: relearn who you are, and I think he still knows 184 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: he's got this stuff to do it. Now that confidence 185 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 2: is going to come because he was able to put 186 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 2: those Indians under his belt, and then he's gonna be 187 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: able to throw on top of the things that he 188 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 2: was able to learn from the Kershaws of the world 189 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: and the Dodgers of the world to be able to 190 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: not only pass those along but really start putting into 191 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 2: his game and said of hey, I just need to 192 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 2: figure out how to make my next start. Now it's 193 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: how can I get better from my last one? Because 194 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: I know how to get ready for my next one. 195 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: And you mentioned Libby, who should be at the front 196 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: of the cardinal rotation. I just wrote down some names. 197 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: McGreevy may maybe Richard fitz is in there, Lay who 198 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: I think is definite, and Ollie Marmel really high on 199 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: Lay the starter. I think that'll pan out. You got Polante, 200 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: you got Quinn Matthews, maybe hence so Kyle. As it 201 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: sits now, and obviously there could be pieces added, how 202 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: do you look at the rotation? Who do you think 203 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: in the starting five in. 204 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 2: That group go need one more? They need one more, 205 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: need two more, maybe three. I get one for sure, 206 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 2: I get one for sure, and it's a guy that 207 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: might have a little bit more. I know I'm gonna 208 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 2: get twenty five to thirty and one hundred and forty 209 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 2: to one hundred and sixty out of you. 210 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: I agree, probably a move to be made. But as 211 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: it sits right now, of the names I mentioned with 212 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: the asterisk that there could be another one, how do 213 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: you see the rotation for the first five, Because I'll 214 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: put the stipulation on there. You could go in with 215 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: six seven starters during spring training and say, okay, we 216 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: have pieces to back us up, and in most years 217 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: it's never enough. But as it sits now, how do 218 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: you see it either one of you guys. 219 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 3: I see it as early in the season, you have 220 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 3: quite a few off days built in, so a six 221 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 3: man rotation probably doesn't make sense. What I see early though, 222 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 3: especially with young guys, is maybe the ability everybody goes 223 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: that first couple starts and you're kind of limited pitches 224 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 3: just because maybe you're in cold weather. Maybe you know 225 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 3: you didn't get quite to one hundred pitches in spring training, 226 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 3: so they want to make sure they're building up that 227 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 3: endurance still. So I can kind of see a situation where, 228 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 3: especially with these young guys and guys that you want 229 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 3: to get experienced, Let's figure out which two or three 230 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 3: of these guys match up to go on the same day, 231 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 3: spread them out a couple of days, and you're not 232 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 3: doing a bullpen day, but you've got well, just I'm 233 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: gonna throw Quinn, Matthews and kink Kins out there. Those 234 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 3: two guys are going Game four, right, So it's going 235 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 3: to be after an off day. You know your bullpen 236 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 3: is gonna hopefully get a little bit of a break. 237 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: Let's not wear the bullpen out, give them two days off. Piggyback. 238 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 3: You know, destiny doesn't need to be a piggyback. He's 239 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 3: full go. But if you don't, don't sign another guy 240 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 3: that can get you the one forty or one sixty. 241 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 3: And I know Lance has a guy in mine probably 242 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 3: who could sign. If you don't get that guy, then 243 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 3: I think you go with six or seven of them. 244 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: Probably saves you from maybe needing to add a bullpen 245 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 3: arm and you say, hey, we're gonna protect you guys, 246 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 3: but we want you to get major league experienced right now. 247 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 3: And we think that you know, you can uh speed 248 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 3: up development if you're getting big lead hitters out matching 249 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 3: a guy with lehi, I think is smarter. He's throwing 250 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: what maybe one hundred innings in his big league career, 251 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 3: Like you get just thrown out the five days. He's 252 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 3: not going to go one hundred and fifteen hundred and 253 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 3: sixty innings. So either I think you go with a 254 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 3: six man later on, or you just start with seven 255 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 3: of these guys up here and you piggyback them and 256 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 3: let him get as many innings as possible. 257 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: Give us the name Lance. 258 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 2: The first thing that pops in my mind is is Gilda. 259 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: I think that he's in a proven phase of his career, 260 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 2: and I say this because I know him personally and 261 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 2: I know how he is in the game. He's very 262 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: sunny gray like in his ability to speak pitching, help pitching, 263 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 2: but he also posts him and he also knows the 264 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: you know, his ability to do the homework and all 265 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: these things that some of these young guys are going 266 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: to have to learn not only on their own but 267 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: through a coach. But it's easier to learn it from 268 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 2: a guy who's done it and done it at a 269 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 2: high level. And I think Gildo has the ability to 270 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 2: speak the language that's needed for some of these young 271 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: guys to take on these roles that they're going to 272 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 2: be given. And he you know, and he's had to 273 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: do it through that his time in UH Chicago before 274 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: I got there, and he had to learn a lot 275 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: of these things on his own, and then you know, 276 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: he was able to keep year by year building and 277 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: that's what these guys are trying to do at the 278 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: big bigue level. As Kyle was saying, is Hey, you know, 279 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 2: if we have three to four guys that are there, 280 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: and then we have four guys that we can say, hey, 281 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 2: you're going five and you're finishing it today, and we're 282 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: we're like that's kind of our thought process, because if 283 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: you get multiple innings under your belt, two to three 284 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 2: at a time, that's going to not only build confidence, 285 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: it's not gonna get you exposed as much, but it's 286 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: also going to give you a chance to actually work 287 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 2: through some things. You can go anybody can go out 288 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: there and get three outs with two pitches and good 289 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 2: stuff when they've never seen you, and they've got guys 290 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: that can do that. But how are we gonna get 291 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 2: through the lineup one time? Okay, we figured out how 292 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: to do that, and now we're gonna get through the 293 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: liamp this second time? And how are we going to 294 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 2: manage ups and downs and multiple innings and these guys 295 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 2: seeing us more And we're gonna have to be able 296 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: to change on the fly. And that comes with being 297 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 2: able to do it having guys around that can teach 298 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: you to do it too. 299 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: Intriguing stuff, you know. The name Brendan Donovan has drawn 300 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: interest from pretty much every team around Major League Baseball now, 301 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: at least according to reports, two teams have emerged as 302 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: the front runner to trade for Brendan Donovan.

No 331 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: one wants to see Brendan Donovan traded, but him is 332 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: doing a reset which made you have to part with pieces. 333 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: You're probably not happy to do so, but you want 334 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: prospects in return. And according to a report in The Athletic, 335 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: the front runners now for the services of Brendan Donovan 336 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: or the Mariners and the Giants. Both teams have plenty 337 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: of prospects that they could possibly deal. Kyle, is there 338 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: a better fit in your in your view for Brendan Donovant? 339 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, Saint Louis utility players. So I don't want to 340 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 3: see him go anywhere. I mean, if I'm being if 341 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 3: I'm saying this selfishly with my pitching coach and amazing 342 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 3: baseball mentor Tony Vitello at the Helm in San Francisco, 343 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 3: Sure go to San Francisco because Brendan Donovan is a 344 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 3: Tony Vytello player. He is gonna love that guy, But 345 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 3: the best fit is the Cardinals. That's that's just where 346 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 3: it is. 347 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 2: What do you think, Lance, No, I'm in a totally agreeance. 348 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: I hear a reset, right, you hear the reset saying 349 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 2: this guy is not like he's over thirty years old 350 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 2: and you know, on the wrong side of thirty as 351 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 2: they call it. So like, in my opinion, he's a 352 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 2: guy that hey, he's part of the now and the 353 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 2: after the reset, like he's this we're doing a year 354 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 2: reset and then we've got Donovan for another three after 355 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: that because I'm giving him a four or five year deal. 356 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: But if you're gonna sit here and say, hey, which 357 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 2: one do you like? Mark? Does he fit in San 358 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 2: fran Yes, he fits anywhere. That's the best part about 359 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 2: it because that's why he's a good player and everybody 360 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 2: wants him. Here's my thing is, if you're going to 361 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 2: get him, you better get something worthwhile for him. And 362 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 2: it doesn't need to be three double A players that 363 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: might not ever make it. If I'm trading him away, 364 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: I need Bryce Miller or somebody like that from from 365 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 2: Seattle that I know I can plug and play as 366 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 2: my I've got May Miller, Libby All of a sudden. 367 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 2: Now I can summach it if that makes sense. But 368 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 2: if I'm not, if I'm getting a this guy was 369 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 2: in Double A, this guy was in Double A, this 370 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 2: guy is in high A, Hi A, and they're all 371 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 2: top twenty prospects. Who cares? That doesn't That doesn't make 372 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 2: my team better. It doesn't make my It doesn't make 373 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 2: it doesn't make anyone better on the Cardinals because it 374 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 2: doesn't make who any of the guys that are there 375 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 2: right now. It doesn't make them better when they come 376 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 2: up by losing Donnie. Donnie's a guy that you say, hey, 377 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: he's the in my opinion, he's the next Matt Carpenter. Hey, 378 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 2: here's five year deal. You're our guy, and it's going 379 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: to be you. Mason. I even like Newt in that 380 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: in that situation, and then JJ Weatherhaak can kind of 381 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: come as he goes with it too. That's my opinion. 382 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: But if you're trading, you better get you better get 383 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: a guy that's big league ready and that you can say, 384 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: here's what we got for him, and he's worth you know, 385 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: the upsides really high. 386 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: I was looking at some of the prospects that both 387 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: teams have and to be honest, you can see a 388 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: clip here and there, but it's hard to judge lance. 389 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: As you point out, when you're dealing with guys at 390 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: the low levels of the miners, it's still a crapshoot, 391 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: even if they project out to be good Major leaguers. 392 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: But one guy that I found interesting. The Mariners have 393 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: a prospect twenty two year old Jerangelo Sindja, who was 394 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: a switch pitcher, I mean legitimately a switch pitcher, Kyle, 395 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: you ever heard of that before? 396 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 3: Absolutely? Pat Van Diddi Creighton Blue Jays played against him 397 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 3: in college, and I think he actually made it to 398 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 3: the big leagues. He either made it to the Biggers 399 00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 3: or made a higher pay pro ball. 400 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: Uh I think for a minute. 401 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, crazy, You see a six finger glove out there, 402 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 3: and you're like, is that is that regulation size? What's 403 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 3: going on out there? 404 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: Uh? 405 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's it was interesting. 406 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 2: I don't know. 407 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 3: I don't know much about him, Jim, but I if 408 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: I had to pick between the two, obviously I'm taking 409 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 3: a guy that I know is going to be a 410 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 3: staple with controllable big league experience. I look at what 411 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 3: the Angels and the Orioles do with Grayson Rodriguez and 412 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 3: Taylor Ward, and I'm saying, you tell me who's a 413 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 3: more valuable player over the next you know, however, many 414 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 3: years of control, either Taylor Word or Brendan Donovan. And 415 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 3: I think everybody's taking Brendan Donovan. So get me a 416 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 3: guy like that that you know makes the other side 417 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 3: of the trade comparable, you know, on the pitching side, 418 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 3: that's where I'm That's where I'm looking at. But sure, 419 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 3: does the switch pitcher start or is. 420 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: He a reliever? 421 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 3: What do we got here, Jim? 422 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 4: I mean. 423 00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 3: Prospect? 424 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: He switched, so maybe there's an upside to him being 425 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: a two way switch it at both positions. I didn't 426 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: do that deep a dive. I just found that interesting. 427 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: But Lance, there is something to be said for if 428 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: you're doing a reset right, and as him has pointed out, 429 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: they want to be competitive and look toward the present. 430 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: Give the fans some to be excited about. But the 431 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: best way to do that, because the biggest currency in 432 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is a controllable talent. Is stockpiling controllable 433 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: talent and building from there. You understand that. 434 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand what the concept is, but isn't that 435 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: what we've been doing since the trade deadline last year. 436 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 2: How many high AAA guys do we need to get 437 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 2: to stockpile the farm system Now. I need to see 438 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 2: something that we're getting back ready for big league players, 439 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 2: especially for guys who are not on expiring contracts or 440 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 2: not over the age of thirty. Then you're looking at, hey, okay, 441 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: you should be able to get multiple big league ready 442 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 2: players that should be on your opening A roster next year. 443 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 2: For a guy like Donovan, a guy like new those 444 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 2: guys should be big league ready players that should impact 445 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: your team next year for losing a guy like that. 446 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 2: That's my opinion. I understand the prospects, but we got 447 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 2: four low A guys in the last two trades that 448 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 2: we might not ever see right, So it's time to 449 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 2: start getting guys that we know kind of who they are. 450 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 2: Instead of oh, well he could be this, he could 451 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: be that. Well, it's like, no, you're getting rid of 452 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,719 Speaker 2: a All Star. You're getting rid of you know, a 453 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: you know, floor in New that is a very good 454 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 2: or a good major league player could be a printing 455 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 2: All Star of health and some things go better his way, 456 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 2: and then next thing, you know, hey, I want to 457 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 2: see what I'm getting back now, because that's if they're 458 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: in double A or if they're in triple A, you 459 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 2: know what you're getting. If they got a cup of coffee, 460 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 2: you've got a good idea, you've got a book on them. 461 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 2: But these high A guys and stuff like that, you 462 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: have no idea what they're going to be. And I 463 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 2: think it's risky as much as it's, oh, you need 464 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 2: all these prospects, it's very risky to get a bunch 465 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: of loway hey guys, because you really don't know who 466 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 2: how they're even going to mature enough to even handle, 467 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 2: you know, being a major leaguer, because you don't even 468 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 2: know what they're what they're like mentally. 469 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: Yet quite well taken. One of the little news tidbits 470 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: could tell Marte has a no trade, but he has 471 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: some teams he's willing to accept the trade. The Cardinals 472 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 1: are on that list. Wilson Contreras has a no trade. 473 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: Supposedly he's willing to discuss possible trade locations. We've already 474 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: done that. So I'm gonna ask you, guys, you're a 475 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: major leaguer, Kyle with a no trade, what do you 476 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: think some of the things you're looking at in terms 477 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: of what would be a good landing spot for me 478 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: and my family. 479 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean if you're looking, if you're looking family wise, 480 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 3: then you know you're calling around, talking to people that 481 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 3: you know around the league and see and that's somewhere 482 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 3: you want to live seeing if it's you know, probably 483 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 3: not asking about the family and probably not asking about 484 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 3: stuff off the field as much for that, but you're 485 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 3: trying to look at it a little bit as a 486 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 3: free agent saying, Okay, what part of the country don't 487 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 3: don't I want to go to? What type of what 488 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 3: type of market do I not want to go to? 489 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 3: Hitting wise, if you're a hitter, what kind of field 490 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 3: do you not want to play on? 491 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 2: Yes? 492 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 3: Do you want to play on? Maybe he's looking at 493 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 3: opportunity to play, doesn't want to switch positions. I think 494 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 3: there's probably a lot that goes into that. 495 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: How about you, Lance, And this is our last thing, 496 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: lance Lynn has a note trade, but they want to 497 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: trade them. What are you looking at, Lance? 498 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 2: Well, I have I have fortunately lifted a no trade 499 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 2: in my in my in my day. So you look 500 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 2: at a lot of different variables. It starts with putting 501 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 2: the list together, right. My note trade was full of 502 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 2: teams that I thought would trade for me, so I 503 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 2: can control things, maybe even a new contract. Like there 504 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: was more said than that, I didn't put teams that 505 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 2: on there were bad because I didn't plan on pitching, 506 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 2: and bad enough to where I would get traded to 507 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 2: those teams. And I was making too much money for 508 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: those teams to even take me. So my thought was, 509 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna put all the teams on there 510 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 2: that I know that we'll be looking to add a 511 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 2: veteran starter and aren't afraid of the money, and then 512 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 2: I can control the market on where I'm going to 513 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 2: go and what I can do. And that was my 514 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 2: mindset and the no trade, and then I lifted it 515 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 2: to LA. There's I would say, most every team on 516 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: my no trade a year I left Chicago I would 517 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 2: have went to So it was one of those things 518 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 2: where I had a ten team no trade, but I 519 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 2: picked at ten teams that I thought were going to 520 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 2: be in the playoffs so I can control where I 521 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: was going to go. I wasn't worried about the pirates. 522 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 2: I was not playing, and everyone's like, oh, what if 523 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 2: you would have got traded somewhere you didn't want to 524 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 2: go that wasn't in the playoffs. I was simple. Kyle's 525 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,479 Speaker 2: heard this before. I'll just take my ass home if 526 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: I don't want to go there, I'm not worried about 527 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 2: you always have a no trade jam if you don't 528 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 2: give a damn what people think. 529 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: That's awesome, that is awesome. That's gonna do it for this. 530 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: I was there. I was there when I pulled. I 531 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 2: had a no trade in Texas without a no trade, So. 532 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: You don't need a no trade to have a no trade. 533 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 3: Will never I will never forget those conversations like, well, 534 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 3: what if you go here? It's like, I'm not going there. 535 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 3: What do you mean go there? I don't have no trade. 536 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 3: I've got a no trade. Everyone's gonna what Yeah? And 537 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 3: I used that.
