1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Thady any Boyding her Old Long and then Wade morn Mark.

2
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to boss A Territory, Ladies and gentlemen, how you

3
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: doing everybody? Hello, Hello, welcome to another episode here. I

4
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: hope you all had a great weekend. Uh man oh man.

5
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: The wrestling fan and me had to witness the John

6
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: Cena John Cena's last match. It was a bit of

7
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: a sad weekend for me and hopefully the Red Sox

8
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: can start making some moves here to cheer me up

9
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. And we did get one move tonight.

10
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: We got a trade and not to trade any of

11
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: us were expecting. Craig Breslo getting yet another massive moose

12
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: of a picture. My goodness, how many of these massive

13
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: pictures is Craig Brezlo going to acquire this offseason? And

14
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: I mean it feels like we got like ten guys

15
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: that are like seven feet tall. It feels like we'll

16
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: get into it. The Red Sox acquiring Jake Bennett from

17
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: the Washington Nationals, sending Luis Paralis, highly tatted prospect for

18
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: the Red Sox over the last couple of years. So

19
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: that's an interesting one. A rare picting prospect swap I'll

20
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: give you my thoughts on that. Jared Duran is the

21
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: idea of possibly going to the Kansas City Royals still alive,

22
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: if very well could be even after the Royals made

23
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: a trade for Isaac Collins this past weekend. I'll get

24
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: into that. We got a couple of free agent news. Well, actually,

25
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: I guess you could say a few news, a few

26
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: bit of news here on the on the desk for tonight.

27
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: We got one late one here right before the start

28
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: of the show from Jared Crabs and I'll dive into that.

29
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: I'll give you my thoughts on that. We do have

30
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: an update as well on Katail Marte and uh listen,

31
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: Ka tell Marte still very high on him, and we'll

32
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: talk about that as well. Everybody, if you can hit

35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: We're trying to get the six k by opening day.

36
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: I think we can get there if you can help

37
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,040

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: chat tonight? We got UFC Dana White. My goodness, Dana

00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: White is here in the chat. TD. How you doing,

40
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 1: my friend Justin Brady, what's going on Sovereign's son. Hello,

41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: my friend, how you doing. Uh, let's get to it, everybody.

42
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: We got a lot to talk about, and let's get

43
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: to this trade first and foremost. Like I said, Craig

44
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Breslow getting himself just just another one of these massive pictures. Craig,

45
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: you know, we have lots of bets to you know,

46
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: be taking a look at this offseason, and it feels

47
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: like all he's doing is looking to get a minus

48
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: Sonny Gray. He's just stocking up on these guys here.

49
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: And here's another one, Jake Bennett from the And this

50
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: is an interesting one, right, Louis Paralis. This has been

51
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: a pitching prospect that we've been talking about for the

52
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: last couple of years, the last few years. He had

53
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: Tommy John not too long ago. He came back this

54
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: past year and there were talks of him even, you know,

55
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: maybe even being in the Red Sox bullpen by the

56
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: end of the year. Very good stuff with Louis Parrales,

57
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: good Villo, good breaking stuff as well. My dishes are

58
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: done in the background. I don't know if you can

59
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: hear the beeping in the background, but my dishes are done.

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: Sorry about that, everybody, but Louis Parous this is a

61
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: guy where you know, I was very curious about, like

62
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: I said, electric good Velo guy was you know, a

63
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: very electric arm to have the organization, but you know,

64
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: more smaller stature. And you know, if you take a

65
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: look here, over the last couple of years, Breslo, they

66
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: have been really stopping stocking up on these big guys, right, Uh,

67
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: Peyton Totley, that's the one that really jumps off the page.

68
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: You know, a guy like Marcus Phillips they took in

69
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: the draft as well. You know, you take a look

70
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: at uh, just the just the amount of size that

71
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: he's been adding. You know, guys that are like six

72
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: foot five, six foot six, and Jake Bennett guy stands

73
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: at six foot six. He's got massive extension. And uh,

74
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: the Red Sox they are really leaning into this. And

75
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: you take a look at Peyton Totally when they first

76
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: took him out of TCU, a guy that was more

77
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: in the low nineties with his v LO and they

78
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: got him in the lab and they worked on a

79
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: couple of things, and Peyton Totally's got one of the

80
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: most electric fastballs in the game. Now, all right, you know,

81
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: still Visa develop on the secondaries. But you know he's

82
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: a prime example of that. So, you know, we just

83
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: take a look at all the pictures now that the

84
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: Red Sox have taking a Lookxie, hold on a second,

85
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: there we go. So, I mean, you know, you bring

86
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: in Johanno Viedo not too long ago. You know, a

87
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: guy with the Pirates had shown some flashes of brilliance.

88
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: You know, a guy that does have good stuff, just

89
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: a massive frame behind him. And you also take a

90
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: look at who they just acquired in the Rule five draft,

91
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: Ryan Watson An. They're just big guy, right. You know.

92
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: It's funny because I've talked about this with the Red Sox.

93
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: Sorry if you can't see my screen here, but I

94
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: have talked about this with the Red Sox here, you know,

95
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: several times, you know, going back to you know, ever

96
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: since they took Peyton totally, they're looking for these guys

97
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: that have these big canvases, right that you can just

98
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: work with because you know, these big bodied guys they

99
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: are gonna in my opinion, and I think, you know,

100
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: you go back and look at the history right of

101
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: guys like Roger Clemens, they are just gonna be more

102
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: durable I think, right, these are guys that can really

103
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: handle a workload. And because they have those big frames,

104
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, they got a lot of potential behind them

105
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: that they tend to, you know, have that big extension

106
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: where the release point is getting closer to the plate.

107
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: And uh, Jake Bennett, he's an interesting one, right he

108
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: you know, kind of what I said really about Peyton,

109
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: totally not a lot of v low with him. He's

110
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: gonna sit more in the low nineties as of right now.

111
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: He can get it up to around ninety six ninety

112
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: seven according to the scouting reports. But there is a

113
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: bit of life on the fastball, and that is because

114
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: of the extinction that he has. He's able to just

115
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: get that close release point, you know, to the batter,

116
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: and there is a bit of life there. Right with Bennett.

117
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: This is a guy that's had some really good numbers

118
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues up to this point. He was

119
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: taken to the second round back in twenty twenty two,

120
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: forty fifth overall picking that draft, and he'd been pitching

121
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: really well. I mean twenty twenty three, he started off

122
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: in a ball he was in high A. He looked

123
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: really good in a ball. Then the numbers. Took a

124
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: bit of a dip in high a there, but then

125
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: you know, I believe he got I'm not sure why

126
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: he did miss all of two twenty four there. I

127
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: believe there was something with the arm. I can't remember

128
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: exactly I miss that. But twenty twenty five he came

129
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: back and he looked really good. Overall, nineteen games, eighteen starts,

130
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: e l rad a two point twenty seven fit at

131
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: a two point nine to six. However, if you take

132
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: a look at the strikeout rate, only seven point six

133
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: strikeouts per nine. That's not really a whole lot, and

134
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: I believe that is more so, I think you could

135
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: look at the v LO. There's not really a whole

136
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: lot of swing and miss with it. But he does

137
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: have a very good change up. Baseball America gives it

138
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: a sixty grade. So if you can get that velo

139
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: up with the good change up that he has, that's

140
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: gonna give you some good separation there and hitters are

141
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a hard time picking him up. He has

142
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: a slider in there as well. But another good thing

143
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: about Bennett, and this is something else that the Red

144
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: Sox really like. He's a strike thrower, right the Red

145
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: Sox want not just big body guys, but guys that

146
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: can attack the strike zone. Bennett, this is a guy,

147
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: all right. This past year two walks per nine this

148
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: past year, two point two overall in High A and

149
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: Double A this past year. You even go back to

150
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three when he made fifteen starts two point

151
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: twenty nine walks per nine. So the guy's gonna throw strikes.

152
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: He is pretty much a guy you just want to

153
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: get in the lab. You want to work with a

154
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: couple of things, right, try to get that villa up

155
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. And this is a guy that could

156
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: have some potential for the Red Sox down the road. Now, listen,

157
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: I like Luis Parraus Like I said, you know, electric arm.

158
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: But he got the Tommy John. He came back late

159
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: this past year. There were talks of him possibly being

160
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: in the Red Sox Bullpen. He went to fall ball

161
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: in the Arizona Fall League, and he actually was not

162
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: looking very good at all. Let me pull up the

163
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: numbers here. Hold on a second, I had the numbers

164
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: pulled up. Well, on a second, let's pull these up.

165
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: They were no bueno ladies and gentlemen, so well, a

166
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: very small sample eleven innings pitch and fall ball. But

167
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: in Elray, over a ten right eleven and a third

168
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: innings pitch, you give up sixteen hits, give up thirteen runs,

169
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: two home runs. He had nineteen strikeouts, so the strikeout

170
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: rate was still very good, but he was also walking

171
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. He had eight walks per nine

172
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: over that eleven innings pitch, so overall that was eleven

173
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: walks in eleven and a third innings pitch. So he

174
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: was battling with a command. He was getting hit pretty hard,

175
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: and you know, yeah, so he did miss a lot

176
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: of time. But I kind of wonder if maybe the

177
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: Red Sox they were kind of watching, They're like, I

178
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: don't know, there was just something they weren'tking, and maybe

179
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: this opportunity came up where you got to remember Paul Taboni,

180
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: he went over to Washington. He knows Parles well, and

181
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, this is kind of just a classic case

182
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: of Hey to Boney probably likes the stuff of Parrales,

183
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: but the Red Sox like the stuff of Bennett. So

184
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, a lot of people were

185
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: reading into this as you know, oh, maybe the Red

186
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: Sox are you know, making a trade to you know,

187
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: to set themselves up, you know, for another trade. Right,

188
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: they're adding another big lefty here, another big arm right

189
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: to this just plethora of pitching they've now built over

190
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. I'll be honest, you know,

191
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to really read too much into it.

192
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: It could you know the fact that you're getting someone

193
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: like Bennett who has a similar frame. I would say

194
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: Peyton totally, he's a he's the bigger stature guy overall,

195
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: but Bennett he does have the similar size.

196
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 2: You know.

197
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: Could they be setting themselves up to possibly make a

198
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: move where maybe you're moving one of these other guys, right,

199
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: he is a lefty, you know, so maybe you're setting

200
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: yourself up to you know, move someone. I don't think

201
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna move totally, but could they be setting themselves

202
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: up to move someone like Harrison, you know, or whatever

203
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: it may be. It's interesting, But what I think overall, really,

204
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: I think just for the most part, the Red Sox

205
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: they just saw more upside with Bennett and they felt

206
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: like he would be a good fit within their organization. Right.

207
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: I think Paralys just is what he is I don't

208
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: want to say is what he is at this point.

209
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: But you know you got the high v low. You

210
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: know you got the wicked splitter there. He's got a

211
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: cutter that he mixes in as well. He's got the stuff, right,

212
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: But I wonder how far the Red Sox thought he

213
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: could go. And there was one interesting comment that Craig

214
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: Breslo may talking about Bennett, and that was he saw

215
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: him as a guy that has potential to be a

216
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: starter in a rotation. So that kind of made me

217
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: think maybe they saw Paralys as more of a long

218
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: term reliever. I wonder if that maybe came into play

219
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: well in the end, it was an interesting trade. I

220
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: don't think there's too much into it. You know, maybe

221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: it could be a little bit of both. Maybe they

222
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: are trying to acquire more pitching that they like, you

223
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: know that obviously is under a lot of control, that

224
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: could maybe set themselves up for something else. I think

225
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: you could say maybe it's a little bit of both, right,

226
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: because obviously they have a lot of assets to move here.

227
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: They are set up well, you know, to go for

228
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: a trade, whether that's someone like Caatel Marte or possibly

229
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: another arm to upgrade the rotation more towards the top

230
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: behind Crochet, maybe a little bit of both. I think

231
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: maybe somewhere in the middle there. But I think Bennett

232
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: really just fits the mold of what they're looking to

233
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: build there in Boston. So but that is it for

234
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: that interesting trade. So what have we got here in

235
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: the chat? Over two hundred of people joining us here tonight,

236
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: igb says, give us Reagan's. Hey, you know what, I

237
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: would love Cole Reagan's. I would absolutely love that man.

238
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: And you know what, that's a good little segue. That's

239
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: a good segue here. Let's talk a little Jared Durant,

240
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: Jared Duran popping up in the news yet again, and

241
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: uh taking a look. The Royals continue to explore the

242
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: outfield market. Now, in case you were living under a rock,

243
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: this past weekend, the Royals did make a trade for

244
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: an outfielder. No, not Jared Duran, No not will you're

245
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: a brave but Isaac Collins from the Brewers. Interesting trade.

246
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: Isaac Collins was very good for the Brewers last year.

247
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: I like this move for the Royals a lot. So

248
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought, okay, well, all right, that

249
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: might be it when it comes to the Royals adding

250
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: another outfielder, right. However, if you take a look here

251
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: at the Royals lineup, I mean you know you might

252
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: be thinking, all right, yeah Collins there. Yeah, they're probably

253
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: pretty much set, but you know what, they could still

254
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: make it up great. Here you got Kyle Isabel out

255
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: in center field. Now, he's gonna be very good defensively,

256
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: but a seventy nine WRC plus last year and that's

257
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: not really gonna cut it. So maybe they see an

258
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: opportunity to still upgrade this offense here in Kansas City.

259
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: And according to the reports, well, the Royals are still

260
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: exploring the outfield market, and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic

261
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: he says that the Royals could still be a factor

262
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: for Jaron Durant. He also talked about Cole Reagan's there.

263
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: Rosenthal suggests that the Kansas City Royals balked at putting

264
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: Star Southpaw Cole Reagan's in a Durand trade. Whether the

265
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: Red Sox would insist on Reagan's inclusion isn't known, as

266
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: the Athletic report indicates that Boston executives viewed the team's

267
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: talks to date as preliminary. I believe Chris Catillo said

268
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: that one or Tim Healey, I can't remember now. Also

269
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: speaking of Tim Healy, friend of the show, he said, here,

270
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: it's clear the Red Sox are putting a lofty price

271
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: on their top outfielders, and they should. They should, And

272
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, I see a lot of people out there saying, oh,

273
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, they don't really have a lot of leverage.

274
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: You know, they haven't really been making a whole lot

275
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: of moves this offseason. That doesn't matter. You set a

276
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: high price for Jaron Duran. The guy's had a ten

277
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: wins above replacement over the last couple of years. He's

278
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: a good player, you know, whether or not you want

279
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: to look at the era that he made in the postseason.

280
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: You know, he was inconsistent defensively all year out in

281
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: left field. The bats a bit inconsistent as well, had

282
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: some trouble against lefties. But in the end, the guy

283
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: was ranking near the top and it came to the

284
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: doubles and triples over the last couple of years. Still

285
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: had himself a very good season. He's gonna give you

286
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: a lot of speed out there. Duran's gonna cost you

287
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot, especially because he has the three years of control. Now,

288
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: could you do Duran for Reagan straight up, No, absolutely not.

289
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: The Royals would be insane to do a swap like that. No,

290
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: Reagans would cost a lot. Yes, he had some injuries

291
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: this past year, but Cole Reagan's was just in the

292
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: top five with Cy Young voting a couple of years ago. Yeah,

293
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: Cole Reagan's is very good and he has a few

294
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: years of control left. So no, it's gonna take Duran

295
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: and a lot more to get Cole Reagan's. It's not

296
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: gonna be easy to acquire him. Now. If the Royals

297
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: don't want to move Reagans, which I understand that, you

298
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: know they they've come out and said, hey, we see

299
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: Cole Reagans as a Game one starter in the postseason,

300
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: and they should absolutely feel that way. He's very good.

301
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: But if they want to acquire someone like Duran, straight up,

302
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: they don't really have a whole lot of assets to

303
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: acquire Duran that the Red Sox would want. Yes, they

304
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: have some prospects, you know, they got a couple of

305
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: catching prospects, right, got Carter Jansen, he got Blake mit Schell.

306
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: You do have a young arm like Noah Cameron, who

307
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: showed some things this past year. But when you look

308
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: the Red Sox needs, well, I mean they've been adding

309
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: catchers left and right. We're talking about how they're adding

310
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: all these massive pitchers. Well they've been adding a lot

311
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: of catchers to a lot of catching depth to the organization.

312
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: I mean, could they add a Blake Mike Sure or

313
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: Carter Jansen Maybe. I don't really see it though, especially

314
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: when you already have Carlos Norias, right, And Noah Cameron,

315
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: that's not really a needle mover for the top of

316
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: the rotation. Good year this past year, but the era

317
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: did outpace the metrics, so I think there is a

318
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: bit of regression possibility there with him next year. So

319
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: Noah Cameron, I don't think that's a guy you're gonna

320
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: be putting behind Garrett Crochet. So really, you know, and

321
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: people say Bubick all the time, Well, the problem with

322
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: Bubick is he has one more year of control. He's

323
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: coming off a rotator cuff injury. I'm sure he's gonna

324
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: be fine this year, but still there's not a lot

325
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: of value with him. There is value, but not Jaron

326
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: Duran value. So the Royals are kind of stuck when

327
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: it comes to getting a deal done. Straight up, unless

328
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: you did Cole Reagan's for Duran and more. The keywords

329
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: there though, were straight up now. Someone said this to

330
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: me on Twitter, and you know, I've thought about the

331
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: Royals as a candidate for a three team trade. We

332
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: also had a report there. I forget who mentioned that. Actually,

333
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: I think JJ Bicolo said that himself. I think he said,

334
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he could do a three team trade.

335
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: So there is an avenue for the Royals to acquire

336
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: Duran without giving up Cole Reagan's. Hey, since we're talking

337
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: about the Nationals, well, could you maybe do something with

338
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: the Nationals here right where Duran? You send him to

339
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: Kansas City. The Red Sox can get McKenzie Gore, and

340
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: then the Nationals can get a bunch of young talent

341
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: right mainly from Kansas City. There. Maybe you could send

342
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: back Noah Cameron, who is a young arm who has

343
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: a lot of control, right, Maybe do send a package

344
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: with him to Washington. I could see that being a possibility,

345
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: Or maybe call the Reds someone like Andrew Abbott. If

346
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: you want Hunter Green, it's gonna cost a lot more,

347
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: but Andrew Abbott I think is pretty even value wise

348
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: with Duran. He's got a few years of control. Actually,

349
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: I think he's got four more years twenty twenty six,

350
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine. Yeah, so he's got

351
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: four more years of control, and he was solid last year,

352
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: so I think he's pretty close value wise with Duran.

353
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: So maybe you could do some kind of a swap

354
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: there where Duran goes to kc Abbot can come to

355
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. But I don't know. I think the

356
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: Reds would want major league talent backs, so I'm not

357
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: sure how you would do that. Or maybe you can

358
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: call the Twins again about Joe Ryan May. Maybe they

359
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: lighten up at some point and they say, all right, fine,

360
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: what can we do? But here's the problem, right, most

361
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: of the value would be going to Kansas City, and

362
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan, I would say, is closer. I think Ryan

363
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: probably has a bit more value than Duran, considering he's

364
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: one of the better starting pitchers in the game. Maybe

365
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: you could say they're actually pretty close when it comes

366
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: to the value. So the Royals would have to send

367
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: back a package there to Minnesota. That would be basically

368
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: an in division trade sort of kind of, but the

369
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: Royals would have to send a whole bunch back to Minnesota,

370
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: and I don't know when they do that. So it's

371
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: interesting if I were to think of a three team swap.

372
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: You know, I wonder if Gore could be that guy.

373
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll see. But I do think there is an

374
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: avenue here for Duran to go to Kansas City. I

375
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: think he's still on the table. We'll see. They definitely

376
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: seem to be holding on to Cole Reagan's tight, but

377
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: you never know how the offseason can go. You never know,

378
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: very fluid things change. Maybe after Christmas all of a sudden,

379
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: Bacolo feels a little bit different and right, Okay, all right,

380
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: let's figure something out with Reagan's but you're gonna have

381
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 1: to give us a lot more. There are avenues here.

382
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: We'll see if Duran ends up being a guy that

383
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: can end up in Kansas City. So before we get

384
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: to the rest of the show here, we're gonna be

385
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: talking about Cantel Marte and a couple of well a

386
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: few free agents out there. Before I do, though, we

387

00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: Alright, Katel Marte, let's talk about Katel Marte. Well, nothing

411
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: is really bruin out there. Nothing's bruined. But we did

412
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: have an update with the Diamondbacks this past weekend. Merril

413
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: Kelly going back to the Diamondbacks on a two year,

414
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: forty million dollar deal. And uh, I don't know if

415
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: people were wondering, oh, bok okay, because they're paying him

416
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: twenty million bucks a year, they could they maybe look

417
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: to move the salary of Kutel Martin. Well, I don't

418
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: think that really has anything to do with it, really,

419
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: But there was an update when it came to Marte's

420
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: no trade list that includes the Athletics, the Yankees, the Pirates,

421
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: the Giants, and the Cardinals. Well, I mean, you know,

422
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: the Giants, that was a team that I think could

423
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: be a fit there. The Pirates need bats any way,

424
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: they could, and the Athletics, you know, they already got

425
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of young talent there. I mean, could they

426
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: have maybe pursued Marte? Sure? But and the Cardinals, I mean,

427
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals aren't looking to make a move like that anyway,

428
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: so I never considered them. The Yankees obviously, they have

429
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: jazz Chism there who's also been in the rumor mill.

430
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: So I didn't really see the Yankees getting involved there,

431
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, unless they I don't know, unless they moved

432
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: Jazz back to third base, you did something with McMahon either.

433
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: I never really saw it as a fit. It doesn't matter.

434
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: The Yankees aren't as no trade list, so good use

435
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox. Theyre not on this list. And listen,

436
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: I've been I've been looking everywhere everybody. I have been

437
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: poking around as much as I can with a couple

438
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: of little birdies that I have out there, and uh,

439
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: not really much. Right. It was, I'll be honest, it

440
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: was getting a little warm last week based off of

441
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: one source that I spoke to. I already talked about this.

442
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: Last week, I had a positive report on Martea. I'm

443
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: not really going to go deep into it because I

444
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: had some pushback from other sources. So I'd say, really,

445
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: the conclusion that I came to with Marty and the

446
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: Red Sox is there is dialogue happening, right. I had

447
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: one positive report, but then I had a couple pushback

448
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: saying maybe not so fast here, right, We'll see what

449
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: happens with Marte, but I do think he is a

450
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: guy the Red Sox need to get here. Right, We'll

451
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: talk I'll get back to Marte. Let's actually circle back

452
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: to him, because we do have something else to talk

453
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: about in just a little bit. Before I do get

454
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: to that topic, let's talk about a couple other free

455
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: agents out there, and uh, Michael King. Michael King. This

456
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: has been a name that people have been looking at

457
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: over the last year or so because, you know, people

458
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: knew he was gonna be going into free agency. Here.

459
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: He didn't have a great year this past year. He

460
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: had some injuries. You know, he was battling knee stuff,

461
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: arm stuff. It was just a you know, not a

462
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: fun year for Michael King. But fifteen starts, light was

463
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: still okay at a three point four to four, the

464
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: FIP was a full run higher at a four point

465
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: four to two. His strikeouts did go down, and he

466
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: was giving up home runs. But to me, the fact

467
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: that his walk rate was still pretty healthy and his

468
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: home run rate jumped. I think the injuries just being

469
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: on and off the field like that, he just wasn't

470
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: fully in a rhythm. Because Michael King has had a

471
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: good history of keeping the ball in the yard. He

472
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: has a career home run rate under one home run

473
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: per nine, and this past year it jumped up to

474
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: a one point four to seven per nine. So I'm

475
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: not really too worried about the year that Michael King had.

476
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: I would say, really, it's just it's the injuries, right.

477
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: I would like to know that he's going to be healthy.

478
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: But this is interesting here. I've talked about Michael King

479
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: coming into the off season. I thought going back to

480
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: the Pasres was a sure thing, because obviously he's familiar there.

481
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: I would imagine he would like to restore his value.

482
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: But then we got reports of the Pasres saying, well,

483
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: there might be some issues of the payroll. Right, they

484
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: did offer him the qualifying offer, but he wants what

485
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: it looks like he's looking for a bit longer, right.

486
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: I thought maybe he could have taken the QO just

487
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: again to rebuild value. But let's say he's looking for

488
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: a little bit more. And according to reports from the

489
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: Boston Globe, I believe from Pete Abraham, the Red Sox,

490
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: Yankees and the Orioles are showing interest. Now could this

491
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: be the Red Sox being interest Kings. I know everyone

492
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: likes to throw that term around. The Red Sox are

493
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: the interest Kings. Well, ladies and gentlemen, listen I'm not

494
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: trying to sit here and defend the Red Sox and

495
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: be a homer for the Red Sox. But every team

496
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: shows interest in everybody. The Red Sox they just happen

497
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: to be that big market team that you got all

498
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: these guys at the Boston Globe, Mass Live. They're always

499
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: putting stuff out there, so it just so happens the

500
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: Red Sox. You're gonna hear more about them showing interest. Right,

501
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: It's just kind of how it is, right, big market

502
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: team stuff gets leaked, right, But could this be another

503
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: case where the Red Sox are poking around and then

504
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: they end up coming up short in a way sort

505
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: of reminds me of like Efflin a few years ago,

506
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: Sorry to bring up a sore subject, when they lost

507
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: out to the to the Rays. For Eflin, I kind

508
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: of just wonder, you know, here's the thing with the

509
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: Red Sox, right, And this is where it's a little frustrating.

510
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: They are being so disciplined to the point where I

511
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: actually can respect it because at least they're consistent. But

512
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: they are being very disciplined. Go back even to last year, right,

513
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: they don't just seem to want to go that extra mile, right,

514
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: so I wonder if King is looking for like a

515
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: three year deal, are they just going to offer him too.

516
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: It's like every free agent, right, it's always all right,

517
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: that guy's getting four, all right, we'll offer or we'll

518
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: offer him three. Mac Freed got what was it seven years? Okay,

519
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: we'll offer him six or was it eight years? I

520
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: can't remember. It's always like one less right. The Red Sox,

521
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, they are at the point where they just

522
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 1: do not want to budge, and they just don't wanna

523
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: They don't want to give in right, and they want

524
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: guys to come to Boston on their terms. It's a

525
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: little frustrating, right, But I just wonder if this is

526
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna be the case with King. I wonder because of

527
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: the injuries that he had last year, or the Red

528
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: Sox really gonna push. And you also think about the

529
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: fact too that the Red Sox they have a lot

530
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: of depth. Is King that number two that they're looking for?

531
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: Because you also you think about the guys that maybe

532
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: you could make a move for. There's gonna be there's

533
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: still guys out there. Is King that number two that

534
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: they feel like they want to investigates if you bring

535
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: in King it's like, Okay, what else are we doing here?

536
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. That's kind of where I

537
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: have a little bit of pause. And another report is

538
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: that because he is a Rhode Island native and he

539
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: went to Boston College, he would like to come to Boston.

540
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: But then I think again with the Red Sox, right, Oh,

541
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: he wants to come here? Okay, well he can come

542
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: here on our terms. I don't know do they meet

543
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: him in the middle. So it's interesting. I wonder if

544
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: King ends up coming here. I could see the Orioles

545
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: being a pretty good fit. To be honest, I do

546
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: think they need to take a chance on someone for

547
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: the rotation out there. But I wonder if King would

548
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: want to go there. You know, the Orioles have not

549
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 1: been great when it comes to the development of pitching

550
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: over the years. You know, they've had a lot of

551
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: injuries there, So is that a place he would want

552
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: to go? Would he take less money to possibly go

553
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: to the Red Sox? And he got the Yankees involved too,

554
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: The Yankees are obviously familiar with him. I don't know.

555
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm not very confident with it. I think it is possible.

556
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: I do think it can happen. Because hey, you know what,

557
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. I'm not trying to be biased here,

558
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: but they have done well on the pitching side of

559
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: things the last couple of years, and maybe this could

560
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: be something for King. Obviously Walker Bueller didn't work out,

561
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: but maybe this could be kind of like sort of

562
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: like that Walker Bueller signing. Not really so much, because

563
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: Bueller had fallen off quite a bit, right he had

564
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: come back from Tommy John for a second time. That

565
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: was going to take a lot more work. But King,

566
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: there's definitely more of a floor there than Buehler, So

567
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's interesting. I would like to have

568
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: Michael King. I just wonder where the Red Sox are at.

569
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: We'll see. I think it could be a pretty fun signing.

570
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: I think that could definitely help out the rotation if

571
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: he stays healthy, of course, but again I wonder if

572
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: the Red Sox are maybe just shooting for more upside

573
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: with the rotation. I don't know, because they just have

574
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: so many guys right now. We'll see, we'll see. But everybody,

575
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: if you are with us on nesson, I do have

576
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: to wrap it up right there. We are going to

577
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: stay here on YouTube. We have one more story to

578
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: talk about, and uh we have we have a couple

579
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: more things to talk about. So if you want to

580
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 1: see the rest of the show, coming over to YouTube

581
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: Mansa Territory and see what I gotta say. But everybody on, nesson,

582
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: I'll talk to see you next time. But let's get

583
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: back to the free agent news. We have another one

584
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: out there, Evan Phillips. Evan Phillips, he was a very

585
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: solid reliever for the Dodgers for a little while, putting

586
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: up good numbers, but he had to get elbow surgery.

587
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: I believe UCL surgery not full was it? No, No,

588
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: he did get Tommy John. Sorry, you got Tommy John.

589
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: So he's gonna be missing all of twenty twenty six,

590
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: most likely coming back more for twenty twenty seven. But

591
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: the Red Sox they've been open to those kind of deals.

592
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: Did it with Liam Hendrix, Patrick Sandoval right where you

593
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: signed him to like a two year deal and then

594
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: then you just say, Okay, we'll see you next year, right,

595
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: Evan Phillips, Hey, this is a guy who's had a

596
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: lot of success. He's got some good stuff. Right, you

597
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: go back to the last few years. I mean, what

598
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers I mean, the guy was just lights out,

599
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: very good strikeout numbers, pretty healthy walk rate, a guy

600
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: that could absolutely be someone that could be a force

601
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: at the back end of your bullpen if healthy. Right,

602
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: had a lot of success with the Dodgers. So we'll

603
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: see if the Red Sox do that. I wouldn't be

604
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: surprised if they did. Again, They've been one of them,

605
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, one of the teams and one of the

606
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: few teams that have been opened to a deal like that. Right,

607
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: They've done it the last couple of offseasons. So Evan

608
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: Phillips I could see being a possibility. Now let's get

609
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: to the news that just came across the screen not

610
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: too long ago. And no, this wasn't from the Boston Globe. No,

611
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: this wasn't from Mass Live, the Boston and Harold jeff

612
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: Passon Hayman. It was actually from Jared Carabas and we

613
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: got to take a look at this. He says here,

614
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: starting to get a little concerned about a Breggy reunion.

615
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can see that on my screen?

616
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: Can you there?

617
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: You go?

618
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: Okay, you can see that better. We talked about this

619
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: in was it Friday? When we went live last time.

620
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: At the winter meetings last week, I had a couple

621
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: of conversations, A couple of conversations, one being I was

622
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: told by someone that I trust very much they wouldn't

623
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: be surprised that Bregman ended up going elsewhere. I was

624
00:34:55,120 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: told by someone else that the Cubs are definitely interested

625
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: in Alex Bregman. That's all I got on that. But

626
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: after kind of, you know, putting two and two together,

627
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh, man, that's the timing of these two

628
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: things here. H I don't know, I'm getting a little

629
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: weird on Bregman. I mean, I saw the tweet here

630
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: from Jared and it just made me think back. I

631
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: even put it earlier today, I was responding to someone

632
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: on Twitter saying, you know, hey, I'm I've actually got

633
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: my eye on the Cubs. To be honest, the Cubs,

634
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: you might be wondering with them, Well, well, Robbie, they

635
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: got Matt Shaw. They got Shaw a third base. Well

636
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: here's the thing with Shaw, very athletic player. Could you

637
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: do a situation where he kind of moves around a

638
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: little bit, Maybe you can put him in the outfield.

639
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he got Ballistero's there in the

640
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: DH spot. But maybe you could do some kind of

641
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: a I don't know, maybe they could do something there where,

642
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, Sayah goes more of a DH roll, you

643
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: figure something out with ballasteros and then Shaw kind of

644
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: moves around between the infield and the outfield. I don't know,

645
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: but here's the thing. On paper. It might not look

646
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: like the most amazing fit. But we just saw with

647
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: the Orioles bringing Pete Alonzo, they had Kobe Mayo and

648
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: Ryan Mountcastle on the major league roster. So you're thinking, well,

649
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: how are they going to add a first basement and

650
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo? Well, well they freaking did. They did that,

651
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: and then some five years one hungred what was it,

652
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: fifty five million, So now they got three third basement

653
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,479
Speaker 1: on their roster. So they got to figure out something

654
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: with Mayo and Mountcastle. Who knows what they do there.

655
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: Why couldn't the Cubs do that? I mean, listen to

656
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: Cubs Kyle Tucker going elsewhere most likely, I don't know

657
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be going back. Seems to be the

658
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: Dodgers in the Blue Jays for Tucker. Really at this point,

659
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: you know, maybe another team could jump in. I don't

660
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: think the Phillies are gonna jump in now. They just

661
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: brought in a Dully's Garcia, so I don't know if

662
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. I don't see Tucker going back to

663
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: the Cubs unless maybe, like I don't know, they offer him, like,

664
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, the short term deal to come back. But

665
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: if they really wanted to put that money somewhere, they

666
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: could give it to Bregman. They made a push for

667
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: Bregman last offseason, right, Yes, the Tigers they made the

668
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: longest offer, but the Cubs they made them. So they

669
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: made a four year offer, right, I believe near thirty

670
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: million per year. I think it's gonna come down to

671
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: the years here. I see Bregman getting anywhere from twenty

672
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: eight to thirty two million per year, somewhere in that range.

673
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: If the Cubs give him five year deal after he

674
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: just made forty million bucks, you know. So let's say

675
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: he takes like a five year I don't know, a

676
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: five year one forty five or something like that, that

677
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: would end up being like a six year one eight five, right,

678
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: which was I believe, which I believe was better. Then uh,

679
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: I just got distracted, which I think would What was

680
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: the Tigers offer last year was like six years, one

681
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: eighty something. I don't know, but maybe the Cubs do that.

682
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, they just made it to the postseason

683
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: this past year. They got knocked out by the Brewers.

684
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: This is a team where they got a lot of

685
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: talent there, right, Who wouldn't want a guy, especially a

686
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: team like the Cubs where they're in a window, Who

687
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 1: wouldn't want a guy like Bregman to come to that team.

688
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: He's bringing playoff experience, he's bringing that postseason caliber kind

689
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 1: of a player. I could definitely see the Cubs because

690
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: they showed interest last year and they could find a

691
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 1: way to fit. I talked to someone at the winter

692
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: meetings and there is definitely interous on the Cubs side.

693
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: That's not even I'm not even reporting that the Cubs

694
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: had a zoom meeting that was reported by someone else.

695
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: So hey, Max Freed had a zoom meeting with the

696
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: Yankees last year that went well, and all of a sudden,

697
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: Max Freed was a Yankee. And getting back here to

698
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: what I was just saying about the Red Sox, they

699
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: don't seem to just want to budge on anything, right,

700
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: this is our offer if you want to play for us,

701
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: take it or leave it. I mean, listen, if they're

702
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: doing that, if they didn't want to go the extra

703
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: mile for Alonso, I mean, I know Alonzo's different, he's

704
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: on the outside right, Bregman was already here. But listen,

705
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: it's not like it's not like Craig would be lying

706
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: to us. Craig has said we are going to be disciplined,

707
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: and he's been very consistent with it. So if they're

708
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: not gonna budge pass like a three year deal they

709
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: gave they offered, I think the report was three years

710
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: with an option for Alonso. If they're only offering that

711
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: for Bregman, who's around the same age coming off the

712
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: quatt injury, and the Cubs offer him a four or

713
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: five year deal flat, I don't know, man, I don't know. Listen.

714
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: I if he ends up going elsewhere, I'm gonna feel

715
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: pretty silly because I fell all year that Bregman was

716
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: perfect in just so many ways. But I figured the

717
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: Red Sox would be a bit more flexible coming into

718
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 1: this offseason. You're in a competitive window, you would make,

719
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: you know, a bit. I don't wanna say effort. I

720
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: don't want to say that that's not the right word,

721
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: but you know, push a little bit more. I figured

722
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: that maybe they would do that this time around, but

723
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: based off of kind of what we saw there with

724
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: the Alonso sweepstakes, and they met with Alonso too in

725
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: person at the winter meetings. They sat down with them

726
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: and that was it. You know, like, I don't know,

727
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: I worry about the Cubs. To be honest with you,

728
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: you still got the Tigers. I mean, what are the

729
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: Tigers doing? I mean, the Tigers doing anything. I have

730
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: no idea, but you know, the whole Schoobel thing is

731
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: that something that comes into play if they do offer

732
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: him something. Does that come into play where Schooble, you know,

733
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: having that guy long term that'd be really nice. I

734
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I just think the Cubs they might

735
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: have something cooking. I haven't been told specifically that the

736
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: Cubs are about to land him that. I've not been

737
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: told that, but I'm kind of just looking at the

738
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: tea leaves. I hope the Red Sox make an effort.

739
00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: Right in the end, they made the effort to get

740
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: Bregman to Boston. Maybe they could do something different here,

741
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: or maybe they could make a bit of a push.

742
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 1: Maybe that you know, how many times have we seen

743
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: that over the years, right where it looks like a

744
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 1: player is gonna go somewhere. Look at Mark to Scherf

745
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: it looked like he was coming to the Red Sox

746
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, I'm not sure. I

747
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: don't remember what the story was exactly. I think what

748
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: was it Someone in the Red Sox front office, I

749
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: guess made him unhappy about something I don't I don't remember,

750
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 1: and then he just went to the Yankees. That's obviously

751
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: different case, right, But we've seen many teams, you know,

752
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, he looked like he was gonna be going

753
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: to the Giants, right, and then Arsen Judge went to

754
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: the Giants. So maybe the Red Sox can actually make

755
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: a push here in the end. But like Jared said,

756
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't feel great about it. Now, let's circle back

757
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: to Cotel Marte. This is where I think, man, you

758
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: have you have got to bring this guy in. You

759
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: have got to make the trade Listen, if you don't

760
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: want to spend the money, well then you got to

761
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: use the assets that you have. You have a lot

762
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: of assets here. I mean, I know a lot of

763
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: people would not be happy trading Marcelo Meyer. Well, here's

764
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: the thing. I wouldn't trade Meyer if you're not gonna

765
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: get Bregman back. I'm keeping Meyer absolutely. But you know,

766
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: you have a lot of young position player talent there.

767
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: You know, even someone like you know, Christian Campbell. I

768
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 1: hate to say that because I still think there's a

769
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: lot of upside with him. You got guys like Franklinarius

770
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: that you could include, right, and obviously all the pitching.

771
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: I've talked about this a million times. I'm not going

772
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: to go into it further. There's a million different ways

773
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 1: I think you could acquire Marte. It feels very similar

774
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: to Crochet last year, where there's just so many roads.

775
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: Usually those teams that have more roads to get a

776
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: deal done are the ones that end up getting that player, right.

777
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox have the best shot to

778
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: get Marte. They have so many guys they can include

779
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: it in the deal, so many, so many. Boba Schett.

780
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I've said this before. I have this

781
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: weird sort of feeling about Boba Schett. Here's the reason why,

782
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: coming off a great year, good bounce back year, would

783
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 1: move over to second base. Most likely. I'll be very

784
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: honest with you, though, if the Red Sox did bring

785
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: in Bushett that up the middle would scare me a

786
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: little bit. Bashett probably a better fit at second base,

787
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: but I still wonder how is the defense gonna be.

788
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be more just league average? That's fine,

789
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: you don't. I don't necessarily think you need to have

790
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: like a you know, Saydan Raphael at every single position. Right,

791
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: if you could play league average defense a second base,

792
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. You know a story he had

793
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: some miscues towards the end of the year. You kind

794
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: of wonder about that. You're right, But Bashett, if there

795
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: was a guy you're gonna offer a contract to where

796
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: you could well, I could see the Red Sox being like,

797
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: all right, let's push a little bit more. I wonder

798
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: if Bushett could be that guy, because he's about to

799
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 1: only turn twenty eight years old, so he's under thirty.

800
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: The Red Sox many times over the years they have

801
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: made pushes for guys that are under thirty. Right just

802
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: brought up Mark to share he was under thirty when

803
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: he went to the Yankees. Right dice K back in

804
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, who was another one. They I'm

805
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: leaving off someone on that list, right, I'm going blank.

806
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: But they tend to make more of a push for

807
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: a guy where they're on the right side of thirty.

808
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: They seem to be hesitant. And we actually just got

809
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: the report not too long ago saying they don't want

810
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: to give out long term deals. I think that's more

811
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: so they don't get locked up into stuff. When these guys,

812
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, they're going into the thirty five thirty six year,

813
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: and you know historically you tend to regress in those years. Right.

814
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: Obviously there are guys out there that are still playing

815
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: well at that age, but more often than not, you

816
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: tend to see regression. Right, So that's where with Bo.

817
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, just about a turn twenty eight has

818
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: a history, his family has a history in Boston. They

819
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: need an answer at second base. Could it be him?

820
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: I'd love Boba Shet, I mean, listen, I'd love Bregman,

821
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 1: but I would love Bo too. I think bo could

822
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: be a great fit with the Red Sox right right

823
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: handed bat. I could see him just attacking that monster constantly.

824
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: I think it'd be a great fit. But will they

825
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: go the extra mile? I'll say this, I think there

826
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: could be more of a chance that they offer him

827
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: a stronger offer compared to what they offer Pete Alonzo

828
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: or Bregman. I wonder if they would push and wonder.

829
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: I think that the thing with Boushett is I wonder

830
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: what the market is with him. Obviously the Blue Jays, right,

831
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: I think the reunion is still very possible. But the

832
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: Blue Jays are also in the Kyle Tucker mix, so

833
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: I think those two correlate. The Braves just brought back

834
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: Hassan cam so I think you can cross them off

835
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: as a possible landing spot. I mean, the Dodgers, they

836
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: seem to be all set. I think of anything they

837
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: land Tucker on a short deal. I don't know. I

838
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: think that the Red Sox, I know, this offseason feels

839
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: really weird because there were a lot of expectations coming

840
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 1: into this offseason. But it feels like to me they

841
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: are just waiting stuff out, or they are trying to

842
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: take that same approach that they did with JD. Martinez, Right,

843
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: they just waited them out Bregman two last year. I wonder,

844
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they're trying to they feel like they

845
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 1: have a good read on the market. And listen at

846
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: the winter meetings. I had heard that the Red Sox

847
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:10,919
Speaker 1: are definitely interested in Bashet, So we'll see. You still

848
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: got Kazuma Okamoto, you got Munataka Murakami. I think either

849
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: of those guys could fit very well with the Red Sox.

850
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,439
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, they're unknowns, they are question marks coming

851
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: over from Japan. Okamoto I think has more of a floor.

852
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: Murakami I think has more of a ceiling because of

853
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: the power potential. But I could see the Red Sox

854
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: liking either of these guys right. Okamoto's gonna give you

855
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: that versatility, that right handed bat that should fit well

856
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: at Femiway Park. Munataka Murakami, he's got the big left

857
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: handed power that has the ability to clear that right

858
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 1: field in Famiway Park. Get them into their organization, into

859
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: their system. Maybe they feel like they can improve that

860
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: plate discipline. I wonder if they could be an option.

861
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 1: And I'll say this right now. My number one guy

862
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: is could tell Martek I think he is at the

863
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: top of the list. I think you need to figure

864
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: out a way to bring him in right, whether you

865
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: bring back Bregman or not. To me, I think Marte

866
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: is a guy you figure that out. No brainer. I mean,

867
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: coming off a great year, twenty eight Homer is a

868
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: one forty five WRC plus a four point six at

869
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: four overall. Yeah, there were some clubhouse issues. Who knows

870
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: what exactly that was. But Marte, to me, I think

871
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: is an absolute no brainer for the Red Sox, right listen,

872
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: if it ends up being bo I mean, I think

873
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: the Red Sox I think they would prefer Bow prefer Marte.

874
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 1: That's my hunch. Maybe I'm wrong on that. Who knows

875
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 1: mart or Bashett does have the advantage when it comes

876
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 1: to the age, but Marte is on the cheap deal,

877
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,800
Speaker 1: so that's kind of the difference there. But if you

878
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 1: bring in Bushett, well you're not doing You're not doing Marte.

879
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: So listen, I'm gonna be I'm gonna say this right now.

880
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:08,720
Speaker 1: I am preparing myself for a world without Alex Bregman.

881
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm preparing for it. Could you see if they were

882
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: to bring in two bats, which I do think they're

883
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: going to. I think they're going to. I think they're

884
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: just waiting this market out. Maybe that ends up being

885
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 1: a stupid line on my part at some point down

886
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: the down the road. I do believe two bats will

887
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: be in Boston at some point. Could that be Marte

888
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: and then Kazuma Okamoto. Could that be Bashett and Munataka Murakami,

889
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 1: could be Marte and Murakami, whatever it may be. I

890
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 1: think there's two bats. I think there's gonna be two bats.

891
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm also gonna say this. I'm also gonna say this. Nah,

892
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: I don't okay, you know, I was. I was. I

893
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: was thinking, you know what, maybe that could be a possibility.

894
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: I was even thinking about guys like Ryan O'Hearn or

895
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: even I'm sorry, I'm sorry to do this. I don't

896
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: say that's not fair. But Paul gold Schmidt, Paul Goldschmidt,

897
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: I that would I think Red Sox fans would probably

898
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: flip out over that one, because he is getting towards

899
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: the end of his career. Big fan of Paul Goldschmidt.

900
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: But I wonder if he ends up being like a

901
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 1: cheaper option for the Red Sox at some point. I

902
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see. I think, though, they need to

903
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: get Marte. If it's not Marte, you gotta go get

904
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: a shit. And then I would not mind at all

905
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: one of these Japanese bats. I know Masa. He's had

906
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: his issues, but I think Okamoto fits very well with

907
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: the Red Sox at Firmway Park. And I think Murakami

908
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: that power profile is just so interesting to where if

909
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:54,720
Speaker 1: they brought him in, I'd be I'd be pretty excited

910
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: about it, to be honest. Listen, the guy hits absolute frickin'

911
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: dingers man, and that's the kind of power from the

912
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 1: left side that you want at Femway Park. We'll see,

913
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: I see when the chat Phoenix, Paradis makes no sense.

914
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: Paradus could be an option as well. I think he's

915
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: lower on the totem pole for me. I think his

916
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:19,439
Speaker 1: bat fits well at Femway. I don't know. I feel

917
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: like the Astros would rather move Christian Walker because he's

918
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: on that contract. Paratus is a lot cheaper, I don't know,

919
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: you know, And they got Paradus in that trade for Tuckers,

920
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: so I feel like a part of them would like

921
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: to keep him, you know, they got him and cam Smith.

922
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,280
Speaker 1: We'll see what the Astros do, but I think Paradis

923
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:44,240
Speaker 1: could be an option. We'll see what happens here, But everybody,

924
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap it up right there. That is all

925
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 1: we got we had over three hundred people for most

926
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 1: of the show here tonight. Do appreciate that, really do

927
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: a lot of familiar faces here still with us in

928
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 1: the end. Appreciate all of you, and we've got a

929
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: super chat Bay Socks Bombs full ninety nine. Why do

930
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 1: I have a feeling the Dodgers may be secretly in

931
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: on Bregman? Hmm? Could the Dodgers be in on Bregman?

932
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know about that one because

933
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: you brought Muncie back, so I don't know. I mean,

934
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, You're always gonna be scared about them for everyone,

935
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: But I don't know about that one. I think they're

936
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: I think they're probably all set there. I think if

937
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: they can get Tucker on a short term deal, that's

938
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: where I think they'll go. I think I wouldn't worry

939
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: about the Dodgers or Bregman, but it is the Dodgers.

940
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: You can never you can never turn a blind eye.

941
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 1: But thank you for the super chat, my friend. Do
