26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: long time on this episode on the show day after The,

27
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: winter when he was a potential free as. Target that

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: was a prominent, thing and it was a surprise came

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: out of. Nowhere it also makes, sense as we will

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: talk about, more and we'll kind of talk about that

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: more today because he number one is with the. Team

32
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: he was, activated he, debuted he had two hits On,

33
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: tuesday all that, transpired and then later on the show

34
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: we'll kind of get into the more normal stuff going

35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,919
Speaker 1: on with The. BRAVES a weird blown lead On monday

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: that we'll breeze. Through i'm sure a little bit of

37
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: look ahead to A rookie of The year potential showdown

38
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: On wednesday evening In. Chicago but first things, first EVEN

39
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: i waited already a little bit On, kim SO i

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: will save my thoughts AND i will tee it up to.

41
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: You what was your? TAKE i, mean it was obviously

42
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: a big, surprise but given all the money that's in,

43
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: play the commitment that you have to have to hass On,

44
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: kim all those, things what was your, reaction AND i

45
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: think you have the benefit now of what thirty hours

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 1: of a little bit of history on this thing to dive.

47
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: Into, yeah what A i, mean what a fascinating move

48
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 4: when that popped across the wire. YESTERDAY i, mean it's

49
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 4: sent a shockwave THROUGH i mean obviously our podcast and our,

50
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 4: dms BUT i mean a bunch of people THAT i

51
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: follow just out of. Nowhere and you, know this waiver

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: system is it's not revocable. Waivers it used to be

53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 4: revocable waivers a long time. Ago it's a different waiver.

54
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: System we can get into all the manifestations of that

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: if you. Want BUT i love the. Player this is

56
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: the guy we talked about a lot in the OTHER i,

57
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 4: mean you'll remember Bad we talked about this guy a

58
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 4: million times in the offseason and as probably the most

59
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: likely in terms of how much money he was going to,

60
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 4: command probably the most likely shortstop The braves could realistically go.

61
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: Get williadamez was never that attainable given the price tag

62
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: And Kim shoulder was gonna cause him to go for

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 4: a quite a bit, cheaper and he did go for

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 4: quite a bit. Cheaper he just didn't go to The.

65
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: Braves he went to The, rays and so it's a fascinating,

66
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: deal AND i really do like the players and above

67
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: average bat at, shortstop which just that alone is an

68
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 4: incredibly valuable player and above average bat at, shortstop a

69
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: good defensive. Shortstop The braves have not had that consistently

70
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: Since dansby, probably you, know more fairly To, orlando probably

71
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: that twenty three season was at that level at least

72
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 4: for half the, season but consistently they haven't had this

73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 4: and probably four years or. So so it is massive

74
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 4: news at probably The braves' biggest positional. Need the contractual

75
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: stuff is What i've find most, fascinating to be honest with,

76
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 4: YOU i saw a lot of The my main takeaway

77
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: is going to be this BECAUSE i saw a lot of,

78
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 4: this AND i had a lot of people ask me this,

79
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: question and a lot of people say it's very much

80
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: like a one year, deal AND i want to be

81
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 4: careful BECAUSE i. DON'T i don't think that's entirely. Accurate

82
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: And i've seen a lot of people say that when

83
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 4: you sign a player to a one year, deal like

84
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: The braves did With Josh, donaldson or The braves did

85
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: With Cole, hamblet The braves have done a bunch of.

86
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 4: These you have full access to both the upside and the,

87
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: downside like you have access to all the benefits that

88
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 4: come with great, performance and you hold all the risk

89
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 4: that comes with bad. Performance that's a typical one year.

90
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 4: Deal when you have a player option Like kim, has

91
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: you don't have complete access to the upside because If

92
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: kim goes nuclear this, month If kim has a two

93
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 4: FIFTY wrc plus plays elite shortstop for the rest of the,

94
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 4: month he could he could decline that player option and

95
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: go be a free and you lose him for twenty

96
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 4: twenty six for nothing in. Return you get nothing out of. It,

97
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: however on the, downside if he tears that shoulder, again

98
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 4: if he gets hurt, again if he's bad, again or

99
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 4: some combination of hurd and bad, again you're on the

100
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: hook for all of that money because he's gonna opt.

101
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 4: In you're gonna pay him sixteen, million and whether he's

102
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: good or, not whether he's on the field or, not

103
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: you're on the. Hook so it is substantially riskier than

104
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 4: just a standard one year deal because you don't have

105
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 4: full access to the. Upside because if he goes, nuclear

106
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: you could lose, him but you have all the risk

107
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 4: of the. Downside and that's why The braves give out

108
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: one year deals a, lot but never give out player

109
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 4: options because they are substantially. Riskier AND i JUST i

110
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 4: saw a lot of like it's basically a one year.

111
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: DEAL i don't think that's. Accurate it's much riskier than

112
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 4: a one year. Deal that being, said the shortstop market

113
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 4: is so dead and so hard to come. BY i understand.

114
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 4: THAT i understand the gamble they're, taking AND i THINK

115
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 4: i actually agree with, It but it is a. Gamble

116
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 4: it is a risk that they don't typically take.

117
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: For, sure AND i, think you, know in typical. Fashion

118
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: sean was a little, bit probably more positive THAN i,

119
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: was BUT i like. IT i like it. Too we

120
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: did try to lay out the risk of it, all

121
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: because there is some and, yeah it could be a

122
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: normal one year. Deal to your, point like it's if

123
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: this was done In. July if this was done In

124
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: june versus On september, first there'd been even more risk

125
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: on The brave, side because right now you're talking about

126
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: three and a half four, weeks right there isn't that

127
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: long For kim to use your parlance go, nuclear because

128
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: you're right if he goes. Nuclear but all the reporting

129
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: That i've seen AND i have my guard up right

130
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: now for. Sure you, know our Colleague Heed rosenthal and

131
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: others have kind of everyone's kind of baking in like

132
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: he's likely to pick up the option.

133
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: That is one hundred percent the most likely.

134
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: Outcoming we agree, there and also Given alex's record in the,

135
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: PAST i think there's a chance that they also renegotiate

136
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: and sign him to a couple of, years maybe a

137
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: two year deal that's for less than sixteen million, annually

138
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: but for more guaranteed money For Hassan, kim that's possible

139
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: to there is. Flexibility BUT i firmly agree with. You

140
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: like a lot Of braves, FANS i think for good,

141
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: reason are not used to talking about player options Because

142
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: alex doesn't give him. Out it's they don't do this right,

143
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: Between we never never go because they don't do. THEM i,

144
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: mean And alex has said that it's like it's almost

145
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: a policy that they don't give them, out which is

146
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: why part of why it's so. Interesting BUT i think

147
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: it's all those things that you. Said it's the player

148
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: is an appealing skill. Set he can hit while also playing.

149
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: DEFENSE i know the popular name that everyone wants to

150
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: talk about all the time is But Boba, schett, right

151
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: he's the big name on the. Market he's not a

152
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: quality defensive. Shortstop he's he's a good. Hitter he's a

153
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: really interesting. Player but if you were to go do,

154
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: that they might maybe they would have considered. IT i

155
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: have no, idea but you are sacrificing. Defense if you're doing,

156
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: that you're going offense at that. Position, traditionally The braves

157
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: have really liked to have defense at, shortstop And kim

158
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: is not maybe the upside hitter That bashet, is but

159
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: his defense is can considerably better and it's. CHEAPER i,

160
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: mean The chets have really have a good. Season he's

161
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: going to be expensive and he's really the only other

162
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: guy boring. Trades AND i don't tell you, This, steven

163
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: but just For braves, fans like it's been proven now

164
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: for a couple of, years it's really hard to get.

165
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: Shortstops if you have a good, one you don't let

166
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: them go until they're a free agent and they and

167
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: they outpace your. Market that's the only. Reason the only

168
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: time guys basically leave is if you're about to enter

169
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: a full rebuild or you're about to be priced. Out

170
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: like The. Braves Losing dansby was because he hit the

171
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: market at a time when he could make a, lot a,

172
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: lot a, lot a lot of. Money, yeah like that's

173
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: the Only Willie donmas is the same. Thing he never

174
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: Leaves milwaukee other than he priced himself out Of. Milwaukee,

175
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: yeah that's what you're talking about and The. BRAVES i

176
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: don't think The brays want to give out one hundred

177
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars in short. Stop they don't seem

178
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: to want to do. That so well we.

179
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: Are and usually when you're giving out one hundred and

180
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 4: fifty million dollars for a, shortstop he's twenty nine thirty years, old.

181
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: Where dansby, WAS i think they probably would have Paid

182
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: dansby his his his AVERAGE a value was. Palatable it

183
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: was the length of the contract.

184
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 4: Exactly and, listen defense is a young man's. Game defense

185
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 4: does not typically age. Well so you GOT i, mean,

186
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 4: listen The, padres and this matters for The braves right.

187
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 4: Now The padres Gave Xander bogarts like two hundred and

188
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 4: eighty three hundred million Dollars bogarts played shortstop exclusively for

189
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: The Red. Sox he signs this massive deal With San,

190
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 4: diego And kim immediately supplants him at shortstop because his

191
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 4: defense had fallen, Off like shortstop defense falls off fairly,

192
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: Quickly so you do have to be careful handing out

193
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 4: these long term free agent contracts that they, get AND i.

194
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 4: DO i do Think kim is the Like allen is

195
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: a good defensive shortstop you can't, Hit bashett is a

196
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: good hitter who can't really play. SHORTSTOP i do Think

197
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 4: kim is kind of that sweet spot where you're looking

198
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 4: for quality defense and somebody who can hit a little,

199
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 4: bit who can hit at a league average. RATE i

200
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 4: one hundred percent agree with. YOU i think there's a

201
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 4: very good chance they try to renegotiate this. Contract When

202
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 4: Chris sale came, over he had deferred money on his original.

203
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 4: Deal deferred money is another one of those things The

204
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: braves don't, do so they immediately renegotiated the deal to

205
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: get rid of the deferred. Money in exchange gave him

206
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: an extra year and extra guaranteed. MONEY i would not

207
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 4: be surprised at all if they did the same. Thing

208
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 4: it Is Scott prris as the, agent, which, yeah we'll.

209
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: Talk we'll talk about that. Too then, yeah.

210
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: INTERESTING i would not be surprised at. All BUT i think,

211
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 4: OVERALL i think OVERALL i like. IT i. DO i

212
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 4: think there's a little more risk that than it's being

213
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 4: talked about, widespread BUT i think OVERALL i like the.

214
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: Deal we agree on, that and we will have more

215
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: On Hassan. KIM i know people were asking, us like

216
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: if we're going. OVERBOARD i don't think we. Are this

217
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: is an emergency, situation like this is not a Normal

218
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: the way THAT i framed it on YouTube and other

219
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: comments was like people were, like is This? Amercy like, yeah

220
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: think about how you would react if The braves gave

221
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: out a sixteen million dollars average annual value contract In,

222
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: november it would be an. Emergency it would be a multi.

223
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: Show and that's they just not, effectively not exactly, done

224
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: but effectively done. Here so it's a big. Topic we

225
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,240

242
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: Up he actually debuted pitched, well scoreless inning On. Tuesday but,

243
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: uh long story, short this is a older, prospect but

244
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: a prospect and a relieving and a relief pitcher left

245
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: hander that has one of the most preposterous stat lines

246
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: you'll ever see this year In TRIPLE a and that

247
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: leads to some pretty, interesting intriguing and some legitimate buzz.

248
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: Fourteen that doesn't have too much buzz right, Now Hayden

249
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,599
Speaker 1: harris springs a lot of.

250
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: Buzz, YEAH i mean you don't SEE i think it.

251
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 4: DOUBLED i think at DOUBLE a this year he was

252
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 4: striking out like fifteen per nine.

253
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: INNINGS i have the numbers that you're ready for, This.

254
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: Stephen this is. Full this is combined DOUBLE, a TRIPLE a,

255
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: right minor league stats this. Year thirty nine, appearances forty eight,

256
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: innings so more than any per, appearance seventy three strikeouts

257
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: in forty eight, innings and an era of drum roll

258
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: please zero point five to. Six, now obviously that era

259
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: is not sustainable for anyone On, earth but seventy three

260
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: ks in fort eight innings is a good. Sign that's

261
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: it means it's more. Sustainable then if he was like

262
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: a soft tosser walking between the rain, drops this would

263
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: be so. Exciting but to your, point the strikeouts have been,

264
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: very very, appealing and.

265
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 4: He doesn't do it with. Velocity it was ninety, three

266
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 4: ninety four he pitched to night against The. CUBS i

267
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 4: was very. Keen you, Know i've obviously been following it

268
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 4: like everybody, else SO i was made SURE i was

269
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 4: fully locked in for his. INNING i think he threw twelve,

270
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 4: pitches AND i think he threw eleven. Fastballs he is

271
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 4: a high fastball usage, guy and to have that many

272
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 4: strikeouts when you're throwing ninety three to ninety four means

273
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: a you have really good shape on the, fastball which

274
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 4: is a big deal these. Days you also have something

275
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 4: unusual about your delivery or how well you hide the,

276
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 4: ball which clearly he does and a lot of lefties

277
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 4: do just you, know especially when you're three. Quarters so

278
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 4: it's gonna be. Interesting I'M i don't. Know we thought

279
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: this was gonna come like two weeks, ago and.

280
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: YEAH i don't know what they're waiting. On it's it's

281
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: very strange they waited this, long because once they waited this,

282
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: long it was, like oh, there there's not gonna do

283
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: this all. Year it's, honestly IF i guess this, morning

284
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: if they were gonna bring Up Hayden, HARRIS i would

285
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: have said, no not because they shouldn't, have but because,

286
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: like why did they wait this? Long like once they

287
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: waited this, long that might just spend next year and we'll.

288
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: See but he wasn't.

289
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 4: Even Their september call up like this was in addition

290
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 4: to Their september call. Up they just made a roster. Move,

291
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 4: yeah it didn't make any, sense but he deserved to

292
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 4: be on the major league. Roster that's he.

293
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: Does, yeah interesting. Profile the lack of velocity while leaning

294
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: heavily on a four steam. Fastball a guy that throws

295
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: as many four seas fasketball as he, does you expect

296
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: them to throw like really. Hard anything does? It it's

297
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: a very interesting and plus he's left handed and all the.

298
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: Stuff But Hayden harris very interesting player again through a

299

350
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: About Hassan. Kim you mentioned the name Of Scott. Boris

351
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: it's not a full blown, mailbag but we got a

352
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: few questions THAT i want to make sure we hit

353
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: on after the show One, monday we intentionally were going rapid.

354
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: Fire no one had talked. Yet, alex by the, way

355
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: still hasn't talked as we're. Talking it's been twenty four.

356
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: Hours he has not, talked BUT snet of course did

357
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: because they had a game. Today But Scott boris is

358
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: a name that is prominent among baseball. Fans he's the

359
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: biggest agent in the. Sport everyone knows that The braves

360
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: have not been very much in The scott bors business

361
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: over the. Years in, fact the most recent TIME i

362
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 1: believe that they have A Scott boris client Was Dallas

363
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: kykeel in twenty, nineteen and that was a very odd

364
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: situation Where kykeele wanted a long term, deal he couldn't find,

365
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: it and The braves gave him a one year. Deal

366
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: we just talked about in Like. JUNE i think it

367
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: was Like Junior july when they brought In dallas. Cycle

368
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: so that was a pillow deal for. Him this time,

369
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: around we talked a lot about negotiations and potential to

370
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: restructure in. Things Scott boris is not a restructured. Guy generally,

371
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: speaking it may not be as easy For alex to

372
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: restructure and talk to talk to your. Options so is

373
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: there any bearing on your reaction to the deal knowing

374
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: That Hassan kim has an agent Named scott Borsk.

375
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 4: Not, really because like you just play it out as

376
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 4: if the sixteen million dollar player option is. INEVITABLE i.

377
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 4: THINK i, mean, again there's risk here regardless of who

378
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 4: his agent. Is but it is one hundred percent true

379
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 4: That Scott boris is usually hesitant to give away any

380
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 4: free agent years for. Anything Now i'll say. This you,

381
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 4: Know Hassan kim is in a little bit of a

382
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 4: different situation with the. Injury you, know he's, Older it's

383
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 4: not like He's it's not like The braves would be

384
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 4: trying to lock him down for an extra three or

385
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 4: four free agent, years like they would be trying to

386
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: add one more free agent. Year, again they would pay,

387
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 4: forward he would get guaranteed. Money Like Scott boris is

388
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 4: a bit of a, BOOGEYMAN i think to a lot of.

389
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 4: Fans he's just trying to get his player the best.

390
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 4: Deal and, like if The braves go to them and, say, hey,

391
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 4: listen we want to get rid of this player, option

392
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: but in exchange will give you an extra, year extra

393
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 4: guaranteed money at this, rate they just make a value

394
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 4: judgment that's either worth it to them or it. Isn't

395
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 4: it's not like it's not like he just, hates you,

396
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 4: know doing business with The. Brave he's just looking for

397
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: the best deal for his. Guys SO i don't think

398
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 4: of it as as much a negative as other people.

399
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 4: Do it does probably make it a little less, likely

400
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 4: but at that point then you just got to assume

401
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 4: the sixteen million dollar option player option is inevitable and

402
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 4: factor that into how you value the, deal.

403
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: Right and that's something that we talked about yesterday, too

404
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: but it's worth. Emphasizing if you're The braves And alex

405
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: again hasn't talked, Yet i'm sure he would acknowledge. This

406
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: when you claim Hasan, kim you have to be prepared

407
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: to pay him sixteen million dollars next, year full. Stop

408
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: like you don't do this pickup if you're not prepared

409
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: to pay that. Money and obviously there are downside scenarios

410
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: where he gets hurt in the next month and he's

411
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: out for a. While that would really be the worst case.

412
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: Scenario as long as he is. HEALTHY i almost don't

413
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: care if he plays. Badly i'll just said plays hits.

414
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: BADLY i think his glove's gonna be fine to it.

415
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: Tonight it's. Fine BUT i, stressed AND i still believe,

416
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: This LIKE i Think Braise bench should not panic About

417
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 1: Austin kim if he has a bad two. Weeks, LIKE

418
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: i just don't care about that particularly. Much but no matter,

419
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: what you gotta be paid to, pay prepared to pay

420
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: the contract as. Is there's a chance. Herastructure there's a

421
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: chance he opts. OUT i, Mean i'm not saying it's gonna.

422
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: Happen it's likely, not but there's definitely a. Chance it

423
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: only takes. ONE i, mean he signed that deal With.

424
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: Tampa it was always kind of an odd. Deal tampa

425
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: is a weird place for him to him to have,

426
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: landed but it was because he got the best of

427
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: both worlds that he. Could so he got he got

428
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: short term money and the flexibility of the player, actually

429
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: so basically he could lock in thirty ish million dollars

430
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: will also having the ability if he had had a

431
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: great second half this, year you could opt out and

432
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: go get the same money that he was corrected to.

433
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: Get and not to repeat, everything but there were projections

434
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: out there from credible places last winter that he could

435
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: get four for eighty or five for one, hundred like

436
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: he was that kind of level. Phraging if he had been,

437
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: healthy he would have gotten. THAT i think if he

438
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: hadn't gone into the off season with his shoulder, surgery

439
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: he would have gotten a lot of money last. Winter

440
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: and that's all interesting like, context but one question actually

441
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: had Got i'm sure you probably got, two BUT i

442
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: know we as a show we got it was like

443
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: people were, like, wait how did this happen? Again like

444
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: why was he on? Waivers like did we know he

445
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: was on? Wivers and the answer to that is the

446
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: braves due and people inside the league. Know but there

447
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: are different kinds of not different kinds of. Waivers but

448
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: he wasn't like announced as A. Dfa this wasn't like

449
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: they were cutting. Him there is a process And i'll

450
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: let you talk about, it like where guys can be

451
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: placed on waivers and clearly The rays were hoping someone

452
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: would claim him to save the. Money The rays are famously. Cheap,

453
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: yeah and that's probably that was their end. Game but

454
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: no one In tampa. KNEW i, mean the organization, knew

455
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 1: but like The vidias didn't, know the fans didn't. Know

456
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: that's why it was such a. Surprise if he had

457
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: been if he had been, defated if we knew he

458
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: was on, waivers that had been a show for, us

459
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: like On, saturday, like, hey should The braves should The braves?

460
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: Claim it's Like kim would have been a talking, point

461
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: but nobody.

462
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: Knew so you know, this there's like ten people in

463
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 4: the world that care about this. Stuff it's it's a

464
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 4: little bit procedural With Major League, baseball but you, know

465
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 4: like five years, ago there was something called The august

466
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 4: trade deadline and revocable, waivers where you would literally teams

467
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 4: would put their entire roster on waivers On august. First

468
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 4: and the whole point was if somebody, claimed like The,

469
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 4: braves if this was five years, ago The braves would

470
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 4: have Put ronald koona junior and Special swallenbach and medalson

471
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 4: and everybody on. Waivers and if any of those guys got,

472
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 4: cleimed you would just revoke the, waivers pull them, back

473
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 4: and you're. Fine and the reason they would do it

474
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 4: is because if somebody got through those, waivers as in

475
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 4: didn't get, claimed that person could then be traded after

476
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 4: The july thirty first trade. Deadline they were Called august

477
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 4: waiver trades that went, away revocable waivers went away and was.

478
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: Gone there used to be two deadlines for, trades no.

479
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 4: One now there's, one and so now what teams. Do

480
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 4: and this really became famous a couple of years ago

481
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 4: with The angels where they started putting a lot of

482
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 4: their more expensive guys on waivers In, august not to

483
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 4: make a trade because you can't make a trade After

484
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 4: july thirty first, now but just to clear the, money

485
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 4: just to clear the money of whatever they're going to

486
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 4: owe that guy the rest of this. Season and obviously

487
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 4: he's got good yeah and. Beyond and that's what The rays, did,

488
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 4: Obviously Like brad just, said The rais are famous for

489
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 4: trying to clear. Money they Put kim on waivers hoping

490
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 4: somebody would claim. Him if you claim a, guy you

491
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 4: also claim his. Contract and so The braves then inherited

492
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 4: this sixteen million dollar player option That i'm sure The

493
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 4: rays wanted absolutely nothing to do, with and The braves,

494
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 4: said all, right that's a gamble will. Take and so

495
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 4: that's how we got. Here it was not announced. Publicly

496
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 4: most of the, time it's not announced. Publicly usually the

497
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 4: only time you ever hear about it is if an

498
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 4: agent leaks, it or if it's somebody you. Know you

499
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 4: you have some of these organizations that are just absolute

500
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 4: sieves that leak. Everything most of the, time you don't

501
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 4: hear about any of this stuff until the conclusion of,

502
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 4: it which is the other team claims. It SO i

503
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 4: know it is, confusing and it is a little it's

504
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 4: changed in the last few, years but you, know it's

505
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 4: all very normal. Stuff it's happened before it became famous

506
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago with The. Angels but, yeah

507
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 4: that's how The.

508
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: Braves one more point on this is really actually interesting

509
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: and notable for this. Year the waiver order is reverse. Standings,

510
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: yeah SO i think there's a decent chance that a

511
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: team better than The braves this year would have also

512
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: claimed how s that came.

513
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 4: Yea.

514
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: And that's probably Probably Jake.

515
00:24:58,600 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 4: Frayley The braves are like playing.

516
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah Jake freile is the same, thing lower, profile of,

517
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: course But Jake freley was a guy that, like, YEAH

518
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: i mean that was an auto. Claim like he's not

519
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: some like twenty million dollars, player but he's a real

520
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: best piece like. That that's a real guy to have

521
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: on your roster with platoon. Advantages and we were trying to.

522
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: Talk we talked about that when when they got, Up,

523
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: well that's a nice ad for where they. Were that's

524
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: one of the only advantages to being bad is that

525
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: you have high priority in. Waivers and this is the

526
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: second time and again the most high profile. Time just

527
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: to say this out. Loud, Also kim is the, best

528
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: most high profile player that has gone through waivers have

529
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: been claimed in the league this. Year he's The he's

530
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: the biggest.

531
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 4: Probably a few, years well since The angel did in twenty.

532
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: Three, yeah and even then he might have been as

533
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: good as THOSE i Think LUCAS.

534
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 4: I, think like famously Like Lucas. Giolito oh, right that's.

535
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: Like an all star year and the you remember. That,

536
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: yeah and The angels were. Bad but all to, say

537
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: like The braves are. Tough you, know they're five or

538
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: six on the waiver order right, now and decent chance

539
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: that another team would have been, like, yes but The

540
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: braves beat them to it because they Are that's one

541
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: way to wield being.

542
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 4: Bad and let me, see let me say, this just

543
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 4: because he's got a player option does not mean there's

544
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 4: not a path where this works out really well for The.

545
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 4: Braves like there is still a path where you, know

546
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 4: If kim kind of has an Average, september picks up his,

547
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 4: option they go into next, year own him sixteen million

548
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 4: dollars and he just has like a normal Hass On

549
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 4: kim year two or three win player that is a

550
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 4: win for that sixteen, Million and to this move one hundred. Percent,

551
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 4: oh very, clearly just because the player option is scary and,

552
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 4: riskier that doesn't don't that doesn't mean there's not a

553
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 4: path where The braves come out on top on.

554
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: This this is not a this is not an exact.

555
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: Science But fangrafts has this value calculator that's tied to

556
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: war AND i will just read you the amount of

557
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: money that he was quote unquote worth according To fangrafts

558
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: in the three previous. Seasons so twenty twenty two he's

559
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: worth twenty nine point one million dollars twenty twenty, three

560
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: thy three point seven million dollars twenty twenty, four he

561
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: got hurt at the end of the, year didn't even

562
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: play a full, season and was still worth twenty one million.

563
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: Dollars so if he's just like the guy he not

564
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 1: even a guy he's, been if he's eighty five percent

565
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: of the guy he's, been he is worth sixteen million.

566
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: Dollars like and especially when you factor in the one

567
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: the one year of it, All like if we get

568
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: to that point and we will know in five weeks from,

569
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: now basically well not five minutes from. Now it's The World,

570
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: series so eight weeks from, now we'll know if he's

571
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: opting it or. Not and at that point in, time it's, Like,

572
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: okay if it is the expected outcome of one, year

573
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,239
Speaker 1: sixteen million, dollars we'll probably talk about this exact. Thing

574
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: i'll probably ask, You, Okay, stephen would you do this right?

575
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: Now if he was a free, agent would you give

576
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: him this? Contract and once he's probably gonna be, YES

577
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: i would guess.

578
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 4: Once he opts, In and it really is just like

579
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: a one year signing a guy to a one year

580
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 4: free agent.

581
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: Contract once at that. Point, yes once we.

582
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 4: Get past that, decision it's a lot easier to discuss

583
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 4: because the things are. Certain but, yeah that's exactly that's exactly.

584
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 4: Right you're you're trying to you're basically trying. To you

585
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 4: need to get through the next. Month make sure he

586
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 4: doesn't get. Hurt that is the that is the, Downside

587
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 4: you're basically.

588
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: That's the biggest. Thing. Stay, yeah and when and when,

589
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: again our Guy ken Rose all reported it was, like

590
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: by the way he's getting he's ready to come off

591
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: THE i l. Okay and then he literally reported came

592
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: off and played and looked fine. Today so hopefully that's the.

593
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: Case hold your breath for the next four, weeks one

594
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: more thing and then we can move on and we'll

595
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: come back to him many more times in the next four.

596
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: Weeks this is kind of funny to me that he

597
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: was even like a tucking. Point But Brian sticker was

598
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: asked if he was going to play shortstop in the

599
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: in the lead up, today and to his, CREDIT sti

600
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: did not even do like the Fake well we'll see

601
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: what he was. Like, no we got him to play

602
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: short AND i appreciate it ABOUT. Si he didn't stick

603
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: didn't do the. Wobble he was, like, no he's he's

604
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: gonna play shortstop and then he started up the first.

605
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: Day we all knew, That, steve And i'm just saying

606
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: it out loud for anybody that was worried about CAUSE

607
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: i know he, look he has played other positions in the,

608
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: past but if you look at The bridge, roster it's,

609
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: like obviously he's gonna play. SHORTSTOP i, mean why wouldn't.

610
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 4: He maybe he's not if he's not playing shortstop every.

611
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: Day i've Got i've got some i got several.

612
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: Questions the way That snip framed it was, basically he's

Speaker 1: Foul, Okay, stephen let's get on to other topics briefly

643
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: before we get out of. Here in those two, days

644
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: The braves have played two. Games The braves have lost two.

645
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 1: Games takeathon, wise that was good if you are one

646
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: of the people rooting for. Losses The braves are NOW

647
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: i believe tied for second or maybe third in The

648
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: tikeathon race for lottery ping pong. Balls The White sox

649
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: are locked in number, one so there's a ceiling on

650
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: where you could go through The, braves but they have

651
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: the ability to get to as highest number two in that.

652
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: List monday's game was very twenty Five. Rapes they had

653
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: a six to one lead and blew it and lost

654
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: in ten innings and added another one run. Loss by the,

655
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: way these are both one run losses The, BRAVES i,

656
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: believe in, FACT i know they. Did they expanded their

657
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: league leading total of one run losses to like thirty

658
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: three or thirty four one of. Those it's, jarring but

659
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: anything he wanted to. ADD i, mean the specially trader

660
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: was probably the biggest thing to talk about From. Monday

661
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't terribly, sharp he didn't get killed or, anything

662
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: but he was probably the one like lead story of that.

663
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 4: Game, yeah so again we've been kind of Tracking spencer

664
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 4: what he's doing in all these. Starts he went he

665
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 4: went back. Up you, know in the last start Against,

666
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 4: miami he had really changed up his pitch. Mix he'd

667
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 4: gone down to like thirty eight percent fastball, usage which

668
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 4: is a huge drop for. Him he was back. UP

669
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 4: i didn't get it at the very end of the,

670
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 4: game but like with a few batters, left he was

671
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: at like sixty sixty one percent fastball usage On monday.

672
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 4: Night so again that's just we're just tracking. It at this,

673
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 4: point there was not really too small data to conclude.

674
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 4: Anything he wasn't. Great his his velocit has actually dropped

675
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: a little bit. More he was doing a lot in

676
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 4: like ninety three ninety four On, Monday SO i don't

677
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 4: know if he's getting. Tired we've talked in the past.

678
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 4: Before is there gonna be a point where they you,

679
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 4: know at what point do you kind of pull the

680
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 4: plug On spencer's twenty twenty. Five you, know we'll talk

681
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 4: about that when it, happens but it doesn't seem to

682
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 4: be going to happen anytime. Soon so, yeah he was just,

683
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 4: average and you, know the bullpen had a rough. Night

684
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 4: offense actually scored some, runs which was their problem In,

685
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 4: philadelphia but, bullpen you, know gave it. Up cubs are,

686
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 4: good like we talked, about and, yeah two more one

687
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 4: run losses to add to the lead leading.

688
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: TALLY i saw Some Pierce johnson consternation he allowed to

689
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: Run homeber to tie the game in the eighth On,

690
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: monday just to say this, out, well has been, really really.

691
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: GOOD i know he gave up to leave in that,

692
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: game but in his previous twenty seven innings of work

693
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: AN era of zero point eighty. Seven, people AND i get,

694
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: it it's, natural but there's always tendency when a guy

695
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: has a bad night to say he's stinkd or, something

696
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: and it's, like, well, no he's been quite. Good hisra

697
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: even with that is like in the mid twies for the,

698
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: season Like Kris, jahnson it's been.

699
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 4: GOOD i think A, Glaciers johnson and Ken. LEY i

700
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 4: have to go back and look at the, numbers BUT

701
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 4: i think in the second half all those dudes have

702
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 4: been Incredibly.

703
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: Oh i'm finding it now On. Twitter IS i tweeted

704
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: this out? Today, YEAH i Saw. Iglesias it's been about

705
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: three months. Now his last thirty two and two thirds,

706
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: innings he has AN era of one point six y

707
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: five A fip of one point seven, eight with thirty

708
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: six strikeouts and four. Walks he has been like utterly

709
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: dominant prime rcell for three months. Now basically does that

710
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: matter for the. Season, No but it's just another guy

711
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: where it's like people just form their opinions of the

712
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: season and then stop thinking about it and only, Remember,

713
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: oh when he has a bad night there Remember like

714
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: With pierce has always been weird to, me like there's

715
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: a Continued it's like dcy stinks and he just. Doesn't

716
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: he just. Doesn't he's a he's a good. Reliever he's

717
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: not a dominant. Believer he's not the best guy in the,

718
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: league but he's obviously. Good so.

719
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 4: And we don't talk about it a, lot BUT i

720
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 4: mean it doesn't. Matter like they have a five million

721
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 4: dollar club option on Ken lee for the, season so like.

722
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: How he, PITCHES i Want kinley and seven On. PIERCE i,

723
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: mean we Think johnson is gonna come back as a

724
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: long As pierce as, HEALTHY i think he's probably gonna

725
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: get opted. In But kenley is the one that IS

726
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: i think With scott AND i did a segment on

727
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: this last week, maybe but it was, like, yeah this

728
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: is notable because he's been good with The braves and

729
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: that was the whole thing when they got, him was

730
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: like this is a free shot and a guy that

731
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: could fix. Him relatively not super, cheap but five million

732
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: dollars if he's a good, reliever is that's a good.

733
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 4: Price and now they Have Hayden harrison the. Bullpen they've

734
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 4: Got munos in the.

735
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: Bullpen, Yeah Rony munos made his debut along With in,

736
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: fact The braves had two debuts today On september, second

737
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: and both pitch twelve and.

738
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 4: So made you look At Adam, Dylan, lee Dasbel Hernandez.

739
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 4: Joejamenez maybe like you can start seeing the outline of

740
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty six bullpen. Already they you, know they're

741
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 4: gonna have to have somebody to close. GAMES i don't

742
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 4: know who the manager is gonna be or how they

743
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: feel about having an established, closer but if it's anybody

744
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 4: kind of old, school they're gonna want an established. Guy

745
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 4: could Be. Iglesias but you can start kind of seeing

746
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 4: the outline of the twenty twenty six.

747
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: BULLPEN i can already see the takes if they Signed

748
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: glesias In, November, yeah CAN i see that. Coming that'll

749
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: be for another.

750
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 4: Show.

751
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: Uh we already mentioned that they lost today On tuesday

752
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: four to. THREE a couple home runs bo solo shots

753
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: From ozzie And Eli. White ozzi has been quietly, good

754
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: says The All Star break ops about eight, hundred like

755
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: he's showing all the signs that you need to. See

756
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: you made a. Point i'm gonna throw it to you

757
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: to give this point on the. Area it's a good.

758
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: One before we started recording about potential of the impact

759
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: on The ozzi decision by the arrival Of Hassan, Kim

760
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: what do you think about?

761
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 4: That, yeah so there's been. This you, Know ozzie is

762
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 4: not a good, defender and so if you have a

763
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 4: bad defender at, shortstop if they were targeting Like bobashitt or,

764
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 4: somebody it's tough to have like A bobashet and An

765
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 4: Ozzie albi's up the middle at the same. Time, however

766
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 4: if you have a really good defensive shortstop and The

767
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 4: braves at this point it seems like they're going to

768
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 4: have a really good defensive shortstop In Hassan kim next,

769
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 4: year it is a much easier to pair him With

770
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 4: ozzie up the, middle and b it gives you some

771
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 4: call certainty about what it's going to take to put that.

772
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 4: Together making the seven million dollar club option On, azzi

773
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 4: which was already very likely to be picked up because

774
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 4: of the four million dollar. Buyout it just adds it

775
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 4: just creates. Clarity and then you add in the fact

776
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 4: That ozzie has just looked substantially better in the last you,

777
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 4: know month or, so maybe go further back than, that

778
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 4: it has become at least in our. Opinion we don't

779
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 4: know for sure until it, happens but it seems much

780
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 4: much more likely at this. POINT i don't know if

781
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 4: it was ever, unlikely but it seems much much more

782
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 4: likely at this point That ozzie's getting picked.

783
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: Up, yeah there was a report By Mark fines in

784
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: last week or two weeks ago that it was. LIKELY

785
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: i always was in the camp Of ozzie shows anything

786
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: they're going to keep him because there's the the loyalty.

787
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: Factors that's probably the wrong, word but like they know

788
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: him that there's a substantial. Buyout everyone Loves. Ozzie the

789
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: history has been. GOOD i know people have maybe memory hold,

790
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: that but he was basically a star level player several.

791
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: Times he's still relatively, young so unless he was just

792
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: awful and that Was, look he was awful for a

793
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: while this, year so that's but what's that, CONTINUED i

794
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: thought it was always, likely but, YEAH i mean the

795
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: combination of we think, again not for, sure but we

796
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: think spending a short stop And ozzie's bounced. BACK i

797
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: would be. Surprised i'd be very surprised now if they

798
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: did not pick up the.

799
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 4: Action and there's a world now WHERE i, mean you've

800
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 4: you've Removed Nick, allen you've added pro far to, left

801
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 4: you're gonna probably get A Dh like there's a world

802
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 4: where now you could Bet ozzie. Ninth like there's a

803
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 4: world Where ozzie's now the worst hitter on the, lineup depending.

804
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 1: On when that, Possible, yeah depending on What.

805
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 4: Michael harrison is doing in that. Night you, know there's

806
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 4: there's a much are that, month, right there's a very

807
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 4: good chance every night you come to the, Park ozzy

808
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 4: is probably your worst. Hitter and so if if he's

809
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 4: your worst, hitter it's a little bit different than when

810
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 4: Like Nick allen's your worst. Hitter he's just got to

811
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 4: he's got a baseline to him that he's not gonna

812
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 4: get too far. Below SO i do think it's more

813
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 4: likely now.

814
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: It's only forty four, games but, HIM i think a

815
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: seven ninety eight ops in the last forty four, games

816
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: which is say sales heart. Break that's something that with

817
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: due Respect Nick allen cannot do for forty four. Games

818
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: like even for forty, four which is a full, season

819
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: he can't do. That ozzie is capable of doing this

820
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: for full, season like it would not It's september, Second

821
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 1: it would not surprise me next year If ozzie always

822
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: hit twenty five homers and was a four wind, player,

823
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: like it wouldn't surprise. Me i'm not SAYING i wouldn't project,

824
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: that but it's that's a that's a reasonable outcome for

825
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: a guy who is still it seems, impossible but he's

826
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: still with twenty eight as we're.

827
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 4: Talking but and it just matters, Less like it matters

828
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 4: a lot when you're batting, sixth which is Where ozzy

829
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 4: is batted for a lot of this when you're batting,

830
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 4: ninth the impact is a. LOT i, mean it just doesn't.

831
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 4: Matter you don't have to be that good to still

832
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 4: justify you being on the team paying that. Contract so

833
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 4: like the fact that they've raised the floor of the

834
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 4: lineup With profar And kim allows them to Carry ozzy

835
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 4: maybe more than it would if they hadn't have made those.

836
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: Moves, yeah and also well more time to everyone always forgets.

837
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 1: This his the buyout on his option is like half

838
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: of the. Option more, so it's it's really a it's

839
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: a three million dollar decision and that makes it even

840
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: the bar even lower to keep. Him, basically all, right

841
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: before we get out of, here we're not gonna do

842
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: The Drake balwin ran, again but he sat again. Today

843
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: i'm just he sat again today Against, lefty just saying

844
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: that out. Loud, uh last. Thing, wednesday we're going This tuesday.

845
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: Night The braves play the serious finale against The cups

846
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: On wednesday In. Chicago it's a pre normal game other

847
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: than The braves are Facing Cad. Horton and if you

848
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: don't know What Kate horton, is he's a rookie for

849
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: The cups and he also happens to be the co

850
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: betting favorite basically right now With Drake baldwin For rookie

851
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: of The. Year so it's only one, start but The

852
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: braves can do double. Damage if The braves t off

853
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: On Kate, horton that would Help Drake baldwin's case and

854
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: by proxy help The braves. ALSO i think, Uh baldwin

855
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: will probably be in the. LINEUP i would have mentioned

856
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: if he's not going to be. Furious it's a right handed.

857
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: Pitcher i'm sure he'll play. Tomorrow So Mike kingdom for

858
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: A Drake baldwin home run Off Kate horton On. WEDNESDAY

859
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: i don't know if that's gonna, happen but it would

860
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: be what you want to see if you're a rook

861
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: if you're rooting For rookie of The, year that would

862
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: be a. Bit there's a potential for a statement game On.

863
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 4: Wednesday, yeah listen WEEK i, mean we're tracking these odds.

864
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 4: Daily at this. Point this race literally changes by the.

865
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 4: Day that's how close this. Is you. Know in The American.

866
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 4: League Nick kurtz wrapped this up months.

867
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: Ago Nick kurts is currently two hundred to one At Draft,

868
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: kings which.

869
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 4: Is four homer day will do.

870
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: That, SORRY i should say one to two, hundred not

871
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: two hundred. One one to two. Hundred he is that's

872
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: much of a. Favorite But drake is the favorite right, now.

873
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: Narrowly But drake was not the favorite two days. Ago,

874
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: yeah it's really he wasn't his.

875
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 4: Favorite If Kate horton goes out and throws eight shutout

876
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 4: innings And drake goes over.

877
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: Four it's gonna flip.

878
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 4: Again so this is literally a day by day thing

879
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 4: at this, point unless one of them gets really hot

880
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 4: and one of them gets really, cold you, know with

881
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 4: the playing. Thing, Listen i'll say. This when you get

882
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 4: to the end of the game and you Have Eli

883
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 4: white on them at the, plate and there's a right

884
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 4: handed closer for the other, team and you Have Jake

885
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 4: frayley sitting on the, bench you need to Get Jake

886
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 4: Jake freley off the. Pitch AND i don't you, Know

887
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 4: Snit snitt is very very particular about these. Platoons Eli

888
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 4: white started tonight because there's a lefty on the, mound

889
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 4: but then there's a righty on the mound in the,

890
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 4: game there's the tying run on base And Jake freyley doesn't.

891
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 4: HIT i HAVE i. Have we've been doing this With

892
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 4: snit for like seven eight years. NOW i have yet

893
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 4: to figure out the logic this man.

894
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: Uses, yeah there's some things he's like religious about the

895
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: about the platoon, stuff and it's something it's not like

896
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: and just sa as a. REFRESHER i know people will

897
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: have not really maybe gotten used To Jake frailey Yet

898
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: Jake fraley is a, specialist, yes like he mashes right handed.

899
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: Pitching he has a career ops of like eight hundred

900
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: against right handed. Pitching like he hits.

901
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 4: Righty's that's.

902
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: That's why he's on the. Team so it's, like you're,

903
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: right use him in that. SPOT i don't really get. It,

904
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: Uh baltwin hit against the lefty late in the, game

905
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: Which i'm fine. With he hit For Nacho, alvarez, like,

906
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: sure sign me, up but like you're Sitting baldwin presumably

907
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: only because the left handed pitcher on the mound and

908
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: then he pitch it gets. LEFTY i don't. Know so

909
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: also just to say this when THEY i think we,

910
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: forgot not forgot to pitch this. Earlier uh profiles on

911
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,479
Speaker 1: the paternity, list so he was not available, today which

912
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: means it was even weirder that ball wouldn't. Play it's,

913
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: like can we please play ball when When permer's not even,

914
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: playing LIKE i understand they would played was whatever ran?

915
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: Over but, yeah another one of the, Situations, stephen where

916
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 1: if these games, mattered we might we might have spent

917
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,759

927
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,239

928
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: still kind of in the race For aki of The.

929
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: Year he's third in the betting. Odds he's a twenty

930
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: eight year. Old it's just always been a weird. CANDIDACY

931
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: i think it's probably gonna Be baldwin Or, horton but,

932
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: uh Hopefully ball just runs away with. IT i would like,

933
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: that but also there's some job if he, doesn't so.

934
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 4: Yep obviously big, draft you, know ramifications and all of.

935
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 4: That The, BRAVES i, think The, pirates The, braves The,

936
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,240
Speaker 4: orioles AND i think The twins are all at sixty

937
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 4: two wins right.

938
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: Now, yeah there are four teams basically, tied and then

939
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: The a's have sixty four wins. Yea so basically those

940
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: five TEAMS i think are the only real KID i

941
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: mean Maybe Miami mimy's had sixty sixty five. Wins so

942
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: there's The braves could go anywhere between second and six

943
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: or seventh in odds entering the, lottery and that's a

944
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: decent size. Difference Like i'm not gonna say that's the

945
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: end of the world if they finished six or, seventh

946
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: but second or third would be better for. That, so,

947
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: yeah they lost five of six, now SO i mean

948
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: any of the, like there was some real good vies

949
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: for a while when they were. Winning they were thirteen

950
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: and five and one stretch that has come to an.

951
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: End now they've lost five out of six and now

952
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: it's just straight. Development it's young guys making, debuts It's Drake,

953
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: bowin It's Hassan kim of, course and it's lottery. Odds

954
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: and we'll.

955
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 4: Se, yeah The braves finishing with the second best odds

956
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 4: And drake Winning rookie of The year to get the extra,

957
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 4: pick versus The braves finishing like with the seventh best

958
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 4: odds And drake not Winning rookie of The year and

959
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 4: not getting that extra. Pick the difference there in like

960
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 4: draft pool, Money, oh pretty. Substantial so, yeah the, yeah

961
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,440
