And today that's exactly what we're 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: going to be doing. I've got the big six three 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: to trade four, three to trade away, and hopefully you 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: the big winner at the end of all of it. 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: If you guys enjoy the content, make sure that you 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: drop a sub right below, subscribe to the YouTube channel. 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: Put notifications on as well, so you can get notified 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: any time we're doing anything here because we have got 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: some awesome and fun stuff. Are you guys ready to 12 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: talk about some trades? I know you are, so let's 13 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: go do it. Number one on the trade four Tampa 14 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: Bay Ray's starting pitcher Taj Bradley. Bradther was really solid 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: in his pro debut. Though he did give up three 16 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: earned runs, he struck out eight batters and walked only one. 17 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: His curveball was on point, and that's going to be 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: the big setup pitch for strikeout numbers, whether that curveball 19 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: is setting up the fastball or that curveball is just 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: induce sing the strikeouts. Now. He was optioned after the start, 21 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: but we all know what happened to Jeffrey Springs. Unfortunately, 22 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: Tier Tier Tier, he got hurt that same day actually 23 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: that he was optioned. We haven't got an official announcement, 24 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna imagine that with both Effln and Springs 25 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: on an extended il, you are going to have an 26 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: opportunity for Bradley to get a shot, if not on 27 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: the next start, very very soon. The Rays they do 28 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: everything they can to put their pitchers in the right 29 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: situations to succeed, whether it's openers or having someone follow 30 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: an opener, and that could be a likely situation that 31 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: we'll see with him. And the great thing about Bradley 32 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: and all of this, you might actually not even have 33 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: to train for him. He might just be sitting out 34 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: on the wire for you. So so go get him. 35 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: If not, maybe you can send a nice low ball 36 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: offer to get a guy that someone might not be 37 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: sold on because he's got the stuff to go five 38 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: or six nightly and strike out six plus even if 39 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: they put him on a pitch count, and for the 40 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: opportunity for him to stick around a little bit longer. 41 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: This is why we want to go acquire ourselves in 42 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: taj Bradley number two two on the trade four Milwaukee 43 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tulez. Rowdy Rowdy was one of 44 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: my favorite preseason bats. He struggled on the early parts 45 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: of the year. He only had five hits in his 46 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: first ten games. This past Thursday through Saturday, though, Telez 47 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: put up three straight multi hit games and he's raised 48 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: his batting average up to two thirty four. Now, I 49 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: know that's not sexy, but he's sporting a one eighty 50 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: eight Babbitt, which is tied for ninth worst in baseball. 51 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: Through all of these struggles as well, guy's put up 52 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: five homers and has an over three hundred ISO, which 53 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: have really created kind of a floor during and for 54 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: these type of Rowdy Tellez struggles. There's quite a few 55 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: actually solid by low first basement out there. But Teles 56 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: isn't just buying expected stats. As he's starting to heat 57 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: up in Milwaukee. Rowdy tu les a good first or 58 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: corner infield. Buy that should be pretty cheap in the market. 59 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: My last buye here, we're going to Minnesota Twins starting 60 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: pitcher Tyler Molly. Now, Molly so far this year has 61 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: all but scrapped his cutter, which he threw a lot 62 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: last year and focused more on a slider, which I 63 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: will tell you slider's cutters, you know, obviously kind of 64 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: the same thing, but it is being defined way more 65 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: as a slider. He also obviously is focusing slider pitcher 66 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: fastball three pitches instead of four, which were double digit usage. 67 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: His ERA isn't great right now, it's four one one, 68 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: but he has an expected ERA of two twenty four. 69 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: Molly also has over a ten k per nine and 70 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: the second lowest walk per nine of his career. All 71 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: the attention to Minnesota has been on Pablo Lopez and 72 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: Joe Ryan, which we can understand and you know rightfully so, 73 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: but Molly has been a higher strikeout pitcher in the 74 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: past that just needs to be inconsistent. The pitch changes 75 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. They're contagious, and I know you're all out 76 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: there trying to get sneaky with pitchers that you can 77 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: buy left and right. But the great thing with Tyler 78 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: Moley is the cost is going to be so much 79 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: different from all of the other up and coming, rising 80 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: starting pitchers out there on the market. Ten k per 81 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: nine in Minnesota, plus he's a bye go get yourself 82 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: some Tayler Molly and shore up the back end of 83 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: your rotation. Now, let's talk about some players that we're 84 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: trading away. Doesn't mean that we hate them, doesn't mean 85 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: they'll be garbage. But this is the type of year 86 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: where we can kind of start to hone in and 87 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: focus on how things are gonna come down to earth. 88 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: And the number one player of got to come down 89 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: to earth, or at least maybe prioritizing getting your value 90 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: now is Seattle Mariners outfielder Jared Kelnick. Everything about Jared 91 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: Kelnick season has been fun. It's been tough to see 92 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: the top prospects struggle though, But so far this year 93 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: he's hitting over three hundred with four homers, two stolen bases. 94 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: Going into Sunday, He's on a career high hard hit percentage, 95 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: which is in the top four percentile of the league, 96 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: including a career high barrel percentage over twenty and an 97 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: average EV that's sitting around ninety four miles per hour. 98 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: It's crazy. So why are we selling him? You ask? 99 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: His over four point fifty babbitt is going to come 100 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: down when it does, actually might come down kind of hard. 101 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: Even in the minors. He never had higher than a 102 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: three sixty eight babbit. He's also striking out this one 103 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: I really don't like, still over thirty percent of the time, 104 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: even though he's making you know, strong barreled contact. So 105 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: does this mean that Jared Kelnick is going to go 106 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: back to being worthless. No, In fact, he might be 107 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: locked in as a twelve team starting outfielder. Why we 108 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: want to sell is the potential of a Cell hype 109 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: before things stabilize, you can go and get a better floor. 110 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: We really don't know how this is going to go. 111 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: What we know is his track record, which worries us all, 112 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: but we don't know what we're in for for the 113 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: rest of the season on Jared Kelnick. So if you 114 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: want to play the high as you can, or you 115 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: can potentially sell out now as people are looking to 116 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: get invested, this is your opportunity to cash out on 117 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: Jared Kelnick if you're worried about the struggles and you 118 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: know that four to fifty babbit coming down to earth, 119 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: which it will just to what degree? Number two on 120 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: the Cells overall. Toronto Blue Jay's third baseman Matt Chapman, 121 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: after rattling off a ten game hit streak with a 122 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: four straight multi hit streak. Inside of that, Chapman has 123 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: started the cool off period. From Friday to Sunday, he 124 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: went one for nine with a pair of strikeouts. Chapman 125 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: went into Sunday with the second highest babbit we're looking 126 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: at that again in baseball though at well over five hundred. Chapman, 127 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: by the way, a career two ninety six babbit player. 128 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: So what we know is this is going to level out. 129 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: Like many other things we've talked about over the last 130 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: three seasons, Chapman hasn't had a batting average over two thirty, 131 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: so when his over four to fifty batting average comes down, 132 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: it might crash again really hard, like the keelnic one 133 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: we talked about. Am I saying he's going to be awful. No, 134 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: it's just the fantasy player Chapman is today. It's probably 135 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: not the same player that he's going to be in 136 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: the middle of May. Third base though a little bit wonky, 137 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: so trading from any depth at that position is tough. 138 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: But that is also why he could be potentially traded 139 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: still for a king's ransom. People love that Toronto Blue 140 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: Jay's lineup. Why wouldn't you huge hard hit numbers. He's 141 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: still putting up top two in barrels per plate appearance 142 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: and overall hard hit balls, but we know the average 143 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: will come down, and what will that look like on 144 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: the counting stats. Sell out now while you can, or 145 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: you just hold tight and just get ready for the fall. 146 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: The last one on the list is Saint Louis Cardinals 147 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: starting pitcher Jack Flarity. Jack Flarity has a one to 148 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: seven to six ERA. That's fun and really good, especially 149 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: when you consider some of the offensive struggles that this 150 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: Cardinal team has had. Overall, it's nice for them to 151 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: have some good pitching numbers. Except Flerity has a five 152 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: to nine to seven x FIP, a five point nine 153 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: to seven excipt, and an expected ERA that is two 154 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: full runs higher than what he currently has. Of all 155 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: the starting pitchers as well that qualify, Flerty has the 156 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: eighteenth highest left on base percentage. You'd see his batting 157 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: average against, which is like two twenty two, and you'd 158 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: be like, wow, that's actually not too bad, considering a 159 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: guy like Julio Urius going into Sunday was pitching to 160 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: batters about a two to eighty six batting average. But 161 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: this is my favorite stat why it's going to speak 162 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: to the batting average against and just overall why he's 163 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: a cell Flerity has a higher walk per nine than 164 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: K per nine so far this season. That'll level out, 165 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: but that's absurd. He has a seven point six y 166 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: three K per nine compared to his eight point two 167 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: two walk per nine.
