How you doing. I hope you're all 4 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 2: having a good week so far. It's Wednesday evening at 5 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 2: the time of this recording. The last time I checked 6 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: the score between the Mariners and the Blue Jays, Toronto 7 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 2: was going to town. I think it was an eight 8 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 2: to two lead the last time I checked. So it's 9 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: looking like the Blue Jays we're gonna be clawing their 10 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: way back into that series just a little bit. The 11 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: Doctors took a two oh series lead against the Brewers yesterday. 12 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: They're gonna continue their series tomorrow. We're getting closer and 13 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: closer to the World Series. But uh, unfortunately we can't 14 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: be talking about the Red Sox in the World Series. 15 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 2: But we got a couple of bits of news to 16 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 2: talk about here. Nothing really surprising on the Alex Bregman front. 17 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 2: We'll talk about him opting out of his contract with 18 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 2: the Red Sox, hitting free agency, and spoiler alert, I'm 19 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: not really worried all that much. I'll give you my 20 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: thoughts on that, and there could be a surprise trade 21 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: candidate on the horizon this coming off season, the Red Sox. 22 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: We've talked about it left and right. They need someone 23 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: behind Garrett Crochet and maybe a possible option has popped up. 24 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 2: I'll give you my thoughts on that as well. And 25 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 2: we got the Gold Glove finalists. We got three Red 26 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: Sox making the cut. We'll go over that as well. Everybody, again, 27 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: thank you for joining me here. If you can hit 28 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: the like button, subscribe if you're new. Let's get to 29 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: it here, shall we Let's talk a little Alex Bregman. Well, 30 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: like I said, no surprise here, Alex Bregman opting out 31 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: of his contract with the Red Sox. I mean we 32 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: saw this pretty much when he signed the contract last offseason. 33 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: I know it was a very exciting time when that happened. 34 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: When they got the deal done, we were all we 35 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: were all celebrating like they had won the World Series 36 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: for crying out loud. But when we saw that there 37 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 2: was an opt out, we're thinking, oh, man, there's gotta 38 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: be a good shot he's gonna opt out. And here 39 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: he is opting out. And we know the deal with 40 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 2: Bregman this past year, right ended up getting hurt for 41 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: a little while and honestly probably came back sooner than recommended. Right. 42 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 2: I think he missed about five weeks and he probably 43 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: could have used even another few weeks or so to 44 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: get himself fully right. He came back, you know, he 45 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: was okay after coming back, right, but the power was 46 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: down a little bit, you know, the speed obviously he 47 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 2: was keeping that in check running around the bases and whatnot. 48 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: But with Bregman, we all saw what he did before 49 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: he went down, right, the guy was putting up some 50 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: of the best numbers in all of Major League Baseball. 51 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: In the first half last year. He was right there 52 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: at the top when it came to the wins above 53 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,839 Speaker 2: replacement leader boards. So over a full season, Bregman time 54 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: and time again, going back over the last several years, 55 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: has been one of the better players in all of 56 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. Now, when it comes to the contract 57 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: that I think Bregman is going to be looking for, you, Hey, 58 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: he was looking for a long term deal last offseason, 59 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 2: wasn't able to get it. I think this time around 60 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 2: he's gonna get himself that contract he's looking for. I 61 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: would imagine it's gonna be five six years right, is 62 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 2: it gonna be seven to eight? I'm not so sure 63 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: about that, right. You know, you got to think here, 64 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: he's gonna be turning thirty two near the start of 65 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six season, so I would think, you know, 66 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: teams they might not be willing to go past six years. 67 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: I could see teams even thinking they don't want to 68 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: go past five five years. So that's kind of where 69 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: I think, got five six years tops now. When it 70 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: comes to the AAV for Alex Bregman here, right, I mean, 71 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: if you go back to twenty twenty two, right, twenty two, 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: he put up a five point four war, twenty twenty 73 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: three at four point four, twenty four, four point two. 74 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: In this past year with missing time, a three point five, 75 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: so on average, he's been around a four wins above 76 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: replacement now in Major League Baseball, as of right now, 77 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: the average cost for a for one win above replacement, 78 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: you're looking at an average of nine million dollars per 79 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: and that can vary between different organizations, right, some teams 80 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 2: may even you know, go higher than that, but on 81 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 2: average it seems to be right around nine million per year. 82 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: So if he's a four win player, that's an average 83 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: of about thirty six million dollars of value per year. 84 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 2: So if I'm putting together, let's say a five year 85 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: contract for bregnant Ray, I do think over the first 86 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: three years of the contract, I think it's safe to 87 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: say he would average around a four wins above replacement, 88 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: So that's a value of thirty six per season. But 89 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 2: then you're gonna see some regression after that, right, you know, 90 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: you're probably gonna tick down a Knox right as he 91 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 2: gets a little older, Right, he starts to get into 92 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 2: his mid thirties, and I think in the end something 93 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: around I don't like a five year like one sixty 94 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 2: to a one seventy one hundred and seventy million dollar contract. 95 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: I think that makes sense. That would be an AAV, 96 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 2: you know, right around thirty two thirty three million per year. 97 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: You know, if you were to go that six years, 98 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 2: who knows, maybe it could end up being some kind 99 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 2: of an option or whatever for that six year. You know, 100 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 2: then you would probably see a lesser AAV. I would say, 101 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: anywhere you know, thirty to thirty two million at that point. 102 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 2: So I'm thinking it's either going to be a five 103 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 2: year one sixty to one seventy something in that range 104 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: or for six years. I think you could see it 105 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: anywhere around like that one eighty to a one ninety mark. Right, 106 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: And for me personally, I think the Red Sox need 107 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 2: to pay him that he came to Boston this year 108 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 2: and you just felt the difference. You felt the difference 109 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: on the field, especially defensively at third base. He saw 110 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 2: how good the bat was at Famway Park. But you 111 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 2: saw the leadership that he brought to the team. You 112 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: just saw this different energy, more just business like mentality. Right, 113 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: you know what, we're expecting good things from this Red 114 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 2: Sox team. He just came in. He just changed that 115 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 2: culture a little bit, all right. The Red Sox I 116 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: took a step forward this year, getting back into relevancy right, 117 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: getting back into contention where they should be every single year. 118 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: I think the way he set the tone from a 119 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 2: performance point of view this year, from a leadership point 120 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 2: of view, from a clubhouse point of view, he absolutely 121 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: deserves the contract. Not much else left to say. Will 122 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: the Red Sox pay him the contract? Well, I think 123 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 2: they will. I think for the reasons I just mentioned, right, 124 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 2: I think they see those those attributes as well. I 125 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 2: think they're in the end going to figure out how 126 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: to get a deal done. Listen, if they got it 127 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: figured out how to get him to Boston. I have 128 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 2: confidence that the front office is going to find a 129 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: way to keep him around. Right now when it comes 130 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: to Bregman, will he want to stay with the Red Sox? 131 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: So I think he will. I think he wants to. 132 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: I mean, you go, you know, you look at what 133 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 2: he did this past year off the field, right doing 134 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: a collib aboration with Sam Adams. I mean, you know 135 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: who's going to do that when when they expect to 136 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: only stick around for you know, less than a calendar year, 137 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I think he has confidence that, uh, 138 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 2: he's going to be staying here for the long haul. 139 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 2: At least I think he at least hopes that's going 140 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: to be the case. And you go back, right, remember 141 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 2: when they were playing The Angels earlier in the year, 142 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: Scott Boris is in attendance. He was just lingering around, 143 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: he was hanging around, and uh, but you know, people 144 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: were starting to wonder, Okay Boris is in town. Well, okay, 145 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: maybe the Red Sox are trying to work on some 146 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: kind of an extension with him. Right. You know, nothing 147 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: ended up coming to Fruition there, but Chris Catillo he 148 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: did get some comments from Bregman around that time. Uh. 149 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 2: He said Bregman would be listening, would be willing to 150 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: listen to anything the Red Sox had to say about 151 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: long term talks. I think when you when you word 152 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 2: it like that, when you use the word anything, right, 153 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: I think that shows he would like to stay long term. Uh. 154 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: Said he expected to love playing here and definitely has 155 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 2: loved playing here. 156 00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 3: Uh. 157 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: Then Gatillo asked him if it was a goal that 158 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: his next deal, in some form or fashion, would allow 159 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: him to find a place he could call home for 160 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: the rest of his career. He said, for sure, for sure, 161 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 2: that's definitely a very high priority. So I don't think 162 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: it's a secret, you know, you know what I mean. 163 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: He likes it here, he wants to be here. It's 164 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: gonna come down to the dollars. And I think both 165 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: sides see that. It's just a matter of what is 166 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: the dollar amount going to be? Where can they find 167 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: the compromise in the middle. Right, you know, Boris he's 168 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: gonna be looking for all the money. But I think 169 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: about Max Chapman, right, you know, went to the Giants, 170 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: had a similar kind of a deal, but they ended 171 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 2: up getting a deal worked out. Right. You know Chapman, 172 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: you know, he loved his time up to that point. 173 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: He was a native to the area as well. Remember 174 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: he played with the Oakland A's for a while, so 175 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: that felt like a match made in heaven. And eventually 176 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: they found out that they figured out the right deal. 177 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 2: And I think the same thing's going to happen here 178 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: with Bregman because I'm also looking at, you know, some 179 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: other teams. You know, at this point, I don't know, 180 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 2: I look at the other teams that would be in 181 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: the mix, and I'm thinking to myself, I don't know, 182 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 2: they just don't like last offseason. Some of these teams 183 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: that I'm gonna mention, they felt like better fits last 184 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: off season. Right, it was so much more wide open 185 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 2: at that point, like the Tigers. Right, They offered him 186 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 2: a long term deal, pretty serious offer. Even got to 187 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: the point where you know, Bregman and Boris, they ended 188 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: up countering with the Tigers, right, So he was at 189 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: least willing to go back and forth a little bit 190 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: with them. Right in the end, they weren't aggressive, and 191 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: he took a short deal with the Red Sox, and 192 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: you know the Tigers, they are gonna need a bat. 193 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 2: But if they weren't willing to go as far as 194 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 2: Bregman wanted last offseason, what makes them gonna do that? 195 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 2: What reason are they gonna have now to you know, 196 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: go further? Right? Yes, sure, they just got knocked out 197 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 2: in the division round. There is a bit of urgency there. 198 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 2: But from a dollar point of view, are they gonna 199 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: go further this time around? And is it gonna be 200 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: even enough to get Bregman away from Boston. I don't 201 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: think so, I don't. I don't see it right. And 202 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: then you think about Schooball. He's getting closer to free agency. 203 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: So Bregman might look at that and be like, I 204 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 2: don't know about that. This past year, sure, I'm looking 205 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: at the Cubs. You know, they got into the sweepstakes 206 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: last offseason as well. They ended up not really wanting 207 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 2: to go as far as they wanted either. You've got 208 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 2: Matt Seaw in the mix. He showed some good things 209 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: this past year. I don't know. I feel like the 210 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: Cubs are probably not gonna be too much in the picture. 211 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 2: I do look at the Phillies. I think there could 212 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: be something there. They have an interesting offseason coming up. 213 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber is he gonna stick around? Alec Baum has 214 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: been on the trade block it seems the last couple 215 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 2: of off seasons. Could you do something there with Bomb? 216 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think Philly could be an 217 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 2: interesting possibility. And then I'm looking at the Mariners, right 218 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: we're talking about the Mariners playing the Blue Jays here, 219 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: Yenio Suarez is gonna be hitting free agency. Bregman I 220 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: think would be a fit there obviously on paper, but 221 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: are the Mariners gonna pay the money Orley? They usually 222 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: don't pay the money, And I don't know. I feel 223 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 2: like as well the ballpark that's more of a picture 224 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: friendly park. And I know Bregman, he has been on 225 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: record saying he could hit anywhere, right, but listen, he's 226 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: a better fit of Famiway Park. The green Monster suits 227 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 2: him perfectly. If it's like a glove, right, he would 228 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 2: be much better at Famway Park for half a season 229 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: compared to Seattle for half a season. And I mean, 230 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 2: it just seems like a no brainer. I think Bregman 231 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: is gonna end up staying in Boston. Not surprised about this. 232 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 2: I saw, you know, people in the media, they're trying 233 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 2: to you know, oh my goodness, Brugman, he opted out. 234 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: Wasn't really a surprise, you know, wasn't really a big deal. 235 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be a big deal in 236 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: the end. I think he's gonna end up staying with 237 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 2: the Red Sox. It's just a matter of finding the 238 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 2: right dollar amount. There's not really any other team out 239 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 2: there that makes a whole lot of sense. I just 240 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: don't see him going anywhere. I think the relationship is good. 241 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: Too many boxes are being checked off. It's just a 242 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 2: matter of what are the numbers gonna look like on 243 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: the contract, what is the pay gonna be. I think 244 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: they'll figure it out. I think they're hammer it out. 245 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 2: I think it'll be in Boston for the long haul. 246 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 2: I'm not really worried about this one. But we do 247 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 2: have a couple more stories to get to here. We 248 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: do have a couple of words from our sponsors tonight, though. 249 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 2: I'll be right back. 250 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: This is for everyone listening right now. What are you 251 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: wearing right now?

It's ridiculous, Like I don't even understand 257 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 4: what kind of material it is. It's got to be 258 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 4: something space age for. 259 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: Your butt signature. Super Soft micro Modal fabric, breathable, stretchy, 260 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: unbelievably cozy, and now you can even get glow in 261 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: the Dark part of the Halloween line.

That's 267 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: made for fall. 268 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: Alrighty, let's get back to it here. So there could 269 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: be another picture possibly on the market this coming off season. 270 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 2: Right we've talked about all the options at nauseum up 271 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: to this point in the free agent market. You got 272 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 2: guys like Dylan Cees that could be a possibility and 273 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 2: has a ton of swing and miss. The Red Sox. 274 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: They're very much into that. When you look take a 275 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 2: look at the trade market. Joe Ryan, he's been the 276 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 2: hot name for what feels like forever. Now, going back 277 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: to the trade deadline, Sandy al Contra maybe could be 278 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 2: a guy. But there's another guy that's popped up here 279 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: and it's a surprising one. And before I actually get 280 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: to him, I do want to mention here Craig Breslo. 281 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 2: He actually went on three ten to left here with 282 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: Tom Karen and Alex Speer, you know, just talking a 283 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: little offseason. And one of the interesting things that he 284 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: said that that stuck out to me was when it 285 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: came to landing pitching, he said he likes the depth 286 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 2: of the Red Sox organization. We just talked about this 287 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 2: the other night where ESPN saying, oh, the Red Sox 288 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: they need to improve the depth of the pitching. It's like, no, 289 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: they have a lot of depth, right, Connolly, Early, Peyton Totley, 290 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 2: you know, Crawford Sandval coming back next year. Don't forget 291 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: you still got Fits Dobbins, right, they got a lot 292 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: of depth. And don't forget about Kyson Witherspoon, who they 293 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: just drafted. I mean with the way the Red Sox 294 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: have been able to develop pitching over the last couple 295 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: of years. They've been fast tracking some of these guys, 296 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 2: Kyson Witherspoon, who could be even in the mix. Luis Parles, 297 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 2: one of their top pitching prospects coming back from injury 298 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 2: late this past season. He's going to be in the mix. 299 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: They got a lot of pitching right, We've set a 300 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: time and time again they need to improve the top 301 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: of the rotation. And that's what Craig said as well. 302 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: I'm kind of a pair of phrasing here, but he 303 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 2: basically said they need to get guys that are going 304 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 2: to move the needle for the Red Sox. That's very obvious. 305 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 2: So ESPN, I still don't know what the heck you're 306 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 2: talking about that with that, but Breslo mentioning that, and 307 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: it just so happened that in the last couple of 308 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: days we got an article from Mark Sheldon, he's the 309 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: beat writer for the reds on MLB dot com, and 310 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 2: he asked general manager Nick Krawl an interesting question. He 311 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: said here when asked if Hunter Green could get traded, Yes, 312 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: your years are not receiving you Hunter Green. If he 313 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 2: could get traded, asking of major league talent would have 314 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: to come back to make it work. Krawl basically gave 315 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: a big old non answer, saying, I don't want to 316 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 2: speculate on anybody that's gonna get traded or not get 317 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: traded at this point because we haven't had any conversations 318 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 2: with other clubs. I don't know what the needs are 319 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 2: out there. I don't know what people are available as well. Well, 320 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: that's the biggest when asked specifically about a player. I mean, 321 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 2: that's quite the non answer, right. I'm not saying Hunter 322 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 2: Green is gonna get traded, right, We'll talk about Hunter 323 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: Green in just a second. But the fact that there 324 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 2: was not an answer given you just I mean, to me, 325 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 2: this is one of these guys where you flat out 326 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 2: say no, he's not going anywhere, right, So that tells me. 327 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 2: The fact that he didn't even address the question. I 328 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: mean he kind of did, but sort of didn't write 329 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: specifically about Green. I think all options are on the 330 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 2: table for the Rets this coming off season, and that's 331 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 2: a team that's really looking at take a step forward. 332 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: With Terry Francona in the fold, right, they somehow made 333 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: it into the postseason this year but they made it 334 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 2: and now they're looking to better their chances moving forward. 335 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: So Hunter Green, Now, why would Hunter Green be on 336 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: the table If the Reds are trying to make the postseason, 337 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: if they're trying to be a competitor for years to come, 338 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: why in the world would they trade Hunter Green. Well, 339 00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 2: here's a couple of reasons, right, why, I do think 340 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 2: it could be a possibility. Now with Green, the numbers 341 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 2: have been very good with him in this year. He 342 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 2: was posting some of the best numbers of his career 343 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 2: up to this point. Very short career up to this point. Right, 344 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: he's only been in the majors now for a few years, 345 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: but nineteen starts this year EL eight a two point 346 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 2: seven to six fit at a three point twenty seven 347 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: eleven strikeouts per nine, two walks per nine, one point 348 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,719 Speaker 2: two to five home runs per nine. Again, that is 349 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 2: at a hitter friendly park in Cincinnati, right where home 350 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: runs galore over there. But Hunter Green, yes, he's extremely talented, 351 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: has a ton of v lo nasty stuff. But for 352 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 2: the Reds at this point, they need bats. They need 353 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 2: to improve the lineup. They had a lot of inconsistencies 354 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 2: in that lineup this past year, they had some injuries 355 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 2: as well. They need to solidify that lineup with a 356 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: bit more power, guys that can do some things offensively. 357 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,239 Speaker 2: And when it comes to the Reds rotation, you know, 358 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 2: they have a lot of guys in the mix here, 359 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 2: Hunter Green, obviously, Andrew Abbott, Nick Lodolo, Chase Burns, he 360 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 2: was the second overall pick in the draft not too 361 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 2: long ago. Electric Arm. He's gonna be probably in a 362 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 2: full time role for next year. Brady Singer they got back. 363 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 2: He ended up being pretty decent this past year. And 364 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 2: don't forget you got some prospects as well. Rehet Louder right, 365 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: he was looking really good before he had to go 366 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 2: get arm surgery. Chase Petty, he's got an electric arm. 367 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 2: So they got arms in the mix. And you know, 368 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: with how well Andrew Abbot did this past year, Nick 369 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 2: Lodolo flash some good things as well. These young arms 370 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 2: that you know could be behind them, go out free agency, 371 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 2: you know, go get yourself. You know, maybe a bit 372 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 2: of a cheap arm or whatever it may be out there, 373 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: and the Reds could still be in good shape when 374 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 2: it comes to their rotation. And Hunter Green, as good 375 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: as he is, he's so good that he could help 376 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 2: the Reds land a very good out there, right, a 377 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 2: guy that is going to be a game changer in 378 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 2: their lineup. Hunter Green has a ton of trade value, right. 379 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 2: He's on a very friendly contract, six years, fifty three 380 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 2: million dollars aav at eight point eight three, has a 381 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: club option for twenty twenty nine, only twenty six years old. 382 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 2: I mean, there is a ton of trade value here. 383 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 2: But that's very good if the Reds want to try 384 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,239 Speaker 2: and take advantage of that to try and land a 385 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 2: premier offensive player out there. Right, And actually, let's take 386 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 2: a look. And when it comes to baseball trade values, 387 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 2: you all know I love baseball trade values. Now for 388 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: the Red Sox, I think they line up perfectly when 389 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 2: it comes to a trade. We all know about the 390 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 2: surplus in the outfield. Roman Anthony said, I'm Rafaela. We'll 391 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 2: talk about him just a little bit, will you or Bray? 392 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 2: You Jared Duran? I mean you could even look at 393 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: the password O Stinson Garcia. Right, they got a lot 394 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 2: of outfeelers in the mix. We all expect someone like 395 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: Jared Duran, Will you or bray one of those guys 396 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 2: could be on the table for this coming off season, 397 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: duram is coming up near the trade deadline, ended up 398 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 2: hanging on to him, ended up working out right. Roman 399 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 2: Anthony went down, So yeah, it was a good thing 400 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: they didn't trade Durant. But this coming off season, the 401 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 2: Red Sox they're looking to add to their rotation. The 402 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 2: Reds they're looking to add to their lineup, and both 403 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 2: teams have very good trade value that will help out 404 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 2: each other. You could do something where you build a package, 405 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 2: however you do it from going from one end to 406 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 2: the other. Hunter Green, Jaron Duran, they're very close in 407 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 2: trade value. You might be thinking some of you out 408 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 2: there Jaron Durant, Well, you know, hey, had you know 409 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 2: he goofed up in the playoffs this past year right 410 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 2: against the Yankees, made a critical error. He was very inconsistent, 411 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say very inconsistent, more so inconsistent at times 412 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: with the bat right, but still with Jared Duran, you 413 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: saw still a very dynamic player this past year. Not 414 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 2: quite the numbers that he did back in twenty four, 415 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 2: but still very good overall. He was right around a 416 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 2: four wins above replacement player, and Durandy's still on the 417 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: younger side, not making a ton of money, you could 418 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 2: expect Duran, at least over the next few years to 419 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 2: be a guy that can average right around a four 420 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: wins above replacement. I do think that. So when you 421 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 2: take the performance into account, not really making a whole 422 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 2: lot of money under control, still at a good age, 423 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 2: Duran is gonna have a ton of value. Now Hunter Green, 424 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 2: he would have a lot more value. The problem with 425 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 2: Hunter Green has been staying on the field. That has 426 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: been something that's been dogging him. Right, last year he 427 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 2: got to one hundred and fifty and the third innings pitched. 428 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: That's okay. But this past year, right, he's dealing with 429 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 2: hip injuries. He was having a pretty tough time staying 430 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: out there. He made it back for the postseason, ended 431 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 2: up getting knocked around by the Dodgers. But you know, 432 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 2: he's just had trouble staying on the field. But that 433 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: is going to affect his value. Now, if he was 434 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 2: a guy that was throwing one hundred and seventy hundred 435 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: eighty innings per year, I mean you're looking at Hunter 436 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 2: you know, with a surplus trade value in the Hungarians 437 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 2: at least, right, But until he can show that he 438 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 2: can go a full season. His value is gonna is 439 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 2: gonna lag a little bit, but this is still incredibly high. 440 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: That just shows how good he actually is. It's just 441 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 2: about staying healthy for him. But getting back to the point, 442 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 2: I think the Red Sox and the Reds absolutely line 443 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 2: up on a deal. If not Jaron Duran, you know, 444 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 2: you could build you know, maybe something around around will 445 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 2: You're break, you know, will you r. Bray has solid 446 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 2: value as well, still needs to kind of get out 447 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,239 Speaker 2: of that platoon status a little bit, still dogging him 448 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 2: a little. I wonder if the Red Sox would want 449 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: to move on from him because they're trying to add 450 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 2: power to the lineup. 451 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 4: I don't know. 452 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 2: I think it comes down to do they want to 453 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 2: keep Duran's dynamic ability where he brings that speed to 454 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: the table, or would they rather keep a bray you 455 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 2: where he's gonna be the bopper from the left side 456 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 2: and they hope that he can end up being a 457 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 2: guy that can start to a lefties and he's gonna 458 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 2: give you that great defense on right field. So I 459 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 2: think either one of those guys you could go with. 460 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 2: I will say this, I actually wonder I was playing 461 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 2: around with this earlier. I wonder if you could do 462 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 2: a scenario where, because Duran has such a high value, 463 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 2: I wonder if, you know, could this be an opportunity 464 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 2: for the Red Sox maybe if they wanted to clear 465 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,239 Speaker 2: Massa Taki Yoshida off the payroll, could this be an 466 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 2: avenue to do it? Right? I mean, if you were 467 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 2: to clear that whole salary for the next couple of years, 468 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 2: I mean, that would really help out the Red Sox, 469 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 2: but it would also help out the Reds too, because 470 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 2: you could see the Reds maybe they look to try 471 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 2: and add a couple of bats this offseason. Right Massa, 472 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 2: he could be their dah South Stewart, he can move 473 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 2: over to first base, Spencer Steer, you can kind of 474 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 2: put them wherever else. I wonder if they could make 475 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: that work. I just a thought, you know, nothing, not 476 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: probably not the greatest idea, but just a thought. You know, 477 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 2: could that even be an avenue you know, throwing Massa 478 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 2: maybe like a little bit of cash or whatever it 479 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 2: may be maybe a prospect to go along with it, 480 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 2: you know, could you do something like that to try 481 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 2: and land Hunter Green where that could really help out 482 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 2: both sides? Right, Maybe the Red Sox could include a 483 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: little bit of cash with Masa. Maybe you know, a 484 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 2: younger picture as well. Like we just said, the Red 485 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 2: Sox have a lot of depth when it comes to 486 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 2: the pitching, so maybe they could include a guy to 487 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 2: send back to the Reds. You know, I think they're 488 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 2: very good trade partners in this situation. Now. You know, 489 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 2: we talked about Andrew Abbott Nicolodolo, but to me, the 490 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: ceiling of Hunter Green. I like Abbot, you know he's slid, 491 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 2: but a guy that's not gonna give you a ton 492 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 2: of V low. He's gonna give you some good off speed, right, 493 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 2: he's gonna give you some good secondaries, but not a 494 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 2: guy that's gonna blow your way with V loo. And 495 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 2: I wonder if the Red Sox they would they see 496 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 2: him as a two right, he's a very solid guy 497 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 2: to have in your rotation, But do they see him 498 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 2: as a like Craig said, a needle mover, someone like 499 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 2: Hunter Green with the just the upside that he has 500 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 2: with the vlow that he has, the nasty stuff that 501 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 2: he has, nasty slider, He seems more of that needle 502 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 2: mover kind of a guy. Definitely gotta keep an eye 503 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 2: on this, you know, Nicolodolo, could you do something with him? Again? 504 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 2: It comes down to what are the Red Sox see. 505 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 2: I think there's a very good chance they could see 506 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 2: Hunter Green as a guy that could absolutely be just 507 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 2: a dog in the rotation for them. Garrett Crochet, Hunter Green. 508 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 2: Oh Man, what a one two punch that would be. 509 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 2: We'll just have to wait and see, but something to 510 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 2: definitely pay attention to for this coming off season.

We got 539 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 2: the finalists and the Red Sox they got a few 540 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 2: on this list. You got Carlos Dervis, a finalist for catcher. 541 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: Sayda'm rafaela for center field and will you or bray 542 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 2: you for right field? Do I think they're gonna win it. 543 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 2: I think there's a very good chance. I'll give you 544 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 2: my thoughts on that in just a second. But if 545 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 2: you are with us on Nesson, I do have to 546 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 2: wrap it up right there we are at a time. 547 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 2: But if you want to see the rest of the show, 548 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: coming over to YouTube Monster Territory and see what I 549 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 2: gotta say. But everybody on Nesson, thank you for watching, 550 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 2: and we'll catch you next time. But here on YouTube, 551 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 2: let's finish this up. Carlos Dervis, I find him very 552 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 2: interesting in this. Do I think Nervius is gonna end 553 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 2: up winning it? I don't know. I think he has 554 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 2: a good case, I really do. He's very balanced. I 555 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 2: know he had a lot of the catcher's interference or 556 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 2: the catcher interference this past season. I think that's something 557 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 2: that could end up coming up when it comes to deciding. 558 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 2: But overall, he was very balanced. 559 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 4: Right. 560 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 2: He had ten defensive run saved, pretty solid. When it 561 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 2: came to the framing, he had seven runs prevented through 562 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 2: stolen bases, and that actually led all catchers, not just 563 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 2: in the American League, but all of Major League Baseball. 564 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 2: Among catchers that caught at least five hundred innings, so 565 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 2: there was that going for him. I just wonder, you know, 566 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 2: Dylan Dingler, I think he's gonna make a really good 567 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 2: case as well. And Alejandro Kirk. I just always wonder 568 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 2: about when it comes to the voting, if there was 569 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 2: a little bit of the name value involved as well. 570 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 2: Alejandro Kirk definitely has that name value. He's been around 571 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 2: for a little bit longer, and he was very good 572 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 2: this past year. Right, he had nine defensive run saved. 573 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 2: He was an excellent framer as well. He just made 574 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 2: a lot of good plays. He actually had five runs 575 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 2: saved from good fielding plays according to Fangrafts, so that's 576 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 2: going to come into play. You know, had negative one 577 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: when it came to the base runs saved, so I 578 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: don't know if that could be an issue there when 579 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 2: it comes to the voting. My guess is Kirk is 580 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 2: gonna end up winning it, especially with a good year 581 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: that the Blue Jays had and he's been around a 582 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 2: little bit longer. I feel like he is probably gonna 583 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,479 Speaker 2: end up winning it. But I think Narvas definitely deserves votes, 584 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 2: and if Nirvas does win it, I wouldn't be surprised 585 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 2: at all. He's got a very balanced resume here rookie season. 586 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 2: I think that's incredible. My guess though, is Kirk is 587 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 2: gonna end up winning it now when it comes to 588 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 2: right field will you or Bray. When it comes to 589 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 2: right fielders in the American League, he led and out's 590 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 2: above average with eight. He had fifteen defensive runs saved 591 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 2: that was only behind Adole's Garcia. And when it came 592 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,719 Speaker 2: to the arm or what runs saved or saved runs 593 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 2: above average. When it came to the outfield arm Bray 594 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 2: who led that as well, he was tied with actually 595 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 2: Addison Barger. I think will your Abs absolutely has a 596 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 2: case here. I think he's gonna end up winning it. 597 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 2: I think he was just so good this past year. 598 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 2: He also had that highlight reel play out in right 599 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 2: field out with Sadan Raphael. I remember that. You know 600 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 2: they like to include those little highlight plays. But he 601 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 2: just did so many good things with the arm this 602 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 2: past year. He just ran so many good routes out 603 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 2: there as well. He was just such a he's as 604 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 2: close to a sure thing as you can get out 605 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 2: in right field. And the fact that he also plays 606 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 2: it at a tough right field in Famway Park, I 607 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 2: think that's gonna be the thing that puts him over 608 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 2: the ege for this, I think will your will end 609 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 2: up winning it. Now, when it comes to Sadam raphael 610 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 2: he should win the award for center field. I'm just 611 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 2: very afraid about Julia Rodriguez. Listen, major League Baseball. They 612 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: love their stars and they absolutely see j Rod as 613 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 2: one of the faces of the game. Nothing against Sadam raphaela. 614 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 2: I'm just looking at it from the lens of Major 615 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 2: League Baseball. That's just what they do. I think, Saydan 616 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 2: probably should have been an All Star this year, and 617 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 2: Jay Rod, even after a slow start in the first half, 618 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 2: he still made it to the All Star Game. I 619 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 2: don't know. I just wonder about stuff like that. But 620 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 2: to me, Sadan absolutely should be the Gold Glove for 621 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 2: right field. Twenty two outs above average, a twenty two 622 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 2: fielding run value, twenty defensive runs saved, save five runs 623 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 2: of the arm. There's no reason why he shouldn't win this. 624 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 2: It's not even close. I think he is gonna end 625 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 2: up winning this award. I think after the outrage of 626 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 2: him not making it to the All Star Game, I 627 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: think this is gonna be like a bit of a 628 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 2: Constellation prize of sources. Okay, you didn't go to the 629 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 2: All Star Game, all right, you get the Gold Glove, right. 630 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 2: I think I think that is gonna end up happening 631 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 2: at I think he should win it. It's not even 632 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 2: a discussion for me, it's not even an argument. And no, 633 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 2: that's not even biased, just because I you know, we 634 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: love the socks here right from a numbers point of view, 635 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 2: and just with so many just outrageous plays that he 636 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 2: made out there, so many highlights, real plays. He's got 637 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 2: the numbers, he's got the highlights. He should win this award. 638 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 2: It would be a travesty if he doesn't win this award. 639 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 2: Those are just my thoughts. But everybody, I'm gonna wrap 640 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 2: it up right there. We are out of time here 641 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 2: for today's episode of Monster Territory.
