1
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: Today, we are predicting where the top forty one free

2
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: agents in our opinion, will sign this offseason. We've got

3
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: a list. We're gonna tell you every player, every team,

4
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: go through them a little bit different, have some fun.

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: The Mets will be very involved in some of these.

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: Of course still a Mets channel, but we want to

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: do a little more broader baseball topic here because I

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: think even if you're not a Mets fan, or if

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: you are a Mets fan, you care about where the

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: rest of the guys are going to be going. They

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: could be going up against your favorite team at some

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: point this year. James, let's start off number forty one here.

13
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: Carlos Estevez, where did you put him?

14
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: Carlostevz going to the Chicago Cubs definately need a back

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: end reliever. I think that he's for sure going to

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: leave the Phillies because the last thing he did is

17
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: a Philly was give up a Grand Salem, the Francisco

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: Lindor to lose the NLDS, So there's no way he's

19
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: going back there.

20
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Easy fit for.

21
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: The Cubs, probably cost ten ish million year, maybe blow

22
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 2: that three years. I think it's just an easy move

23
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: for a team that needs to get he have some

24
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: money and needs closer.

25
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I thought, Similarly, I do have the Cubs

26
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: getting a closer at some point in this video. I

27
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: did not have them getting Carlos Estevez. I went with

28
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: him going to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Similarly, they need a

29
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: back end guy, they need a closer, they need somebody.

30
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: I know Justin Martinez is a guy who's probably gonna

31
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: end up being a closer there, but until he's officially ready,

32
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: feels like Estevez is a good guy that you could

33
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: pay for a couple of years and he could eventually

34
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: fall back into that set up man role, and he

35
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: is a good reliever, like I think the Diamonbacks can

36
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: very much use him. So I went Arizona, You went Chicago.

37
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: Next up, Carlos Santana double Carlos off the top him.

38
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: I went Diamondbacks because they I think they're going to

39
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: lose Christian Walker to another team I have listed later

40
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: on the show. And Carlosanna and Sneaky had an amazing

41
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: season last year, whe the most productive his career. The

42
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: on base percentage was high, the ops was high, the

43
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: defense is good, the leadership is good, that team kind

44
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: of just loves to get the aging veteran no one's

45
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: looking at, but who can give them like legitimate value.

46
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: And he seems like a really good fit to just

47
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: spend the last two years of his career in Scottsdale.

48
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Carlos Santana's gonna be highly sought after

49
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: despite being like nearly forty years old. You mentioned the

50
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: on base percent every single year, plays good defense at first. Basically,

51
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: he's just a very good ballplayer. That's why I have

52
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: him going too the Astros. I feel like the way

53
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: that organization's go and the way they've been moving, I

54
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: could totally see that front office being like, we need

55
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: a guy like Carlos Santana in this lineup in this team.

56
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: In first base has been a black hole for them.

57
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: The last few years between Jose Brew and John Singleton

58
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: has been great. Carlos Santana, I've got going to the

59
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: Houston Astros break it into the top forty. Now a

60
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: role this Chapman the Cuban missile crisis. I got him

61
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: going down south close to home Miami. I think he's

62
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a Miami Marlin. I think this is going

63
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: to be a quick hope you pitch as well, flip

64
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: them deal. Peter Bendix, their GM and president of Baseball Ops.

65
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: I think he's smarter than what they've had there the

66
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: last few years in a while. He's a smart dude,

67
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 1: and I think he sees that Chapman could have value

68
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: at the deadline. Let's bring him in and maybe he

69
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: gets a couple more Cuban fans in the park.

70
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: Okay, similar but different. I have him going to the Braves.

71
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: It's just a dirtbag for a dirtbag organization. Like Ressell

72
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: iglaziest fellow Cuban at the back of the bullpen right there.

73
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: The Braves lost Minter, they're going to need the lefty.

74
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: Joey Menniz also is out for a full calendar year.

75
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: He's not gonna pitch it all in twenty twenty five.

76
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: I just think that they're gonna look for someone who

77
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: can give high upside but cheap for a back end

78
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: or labor.

79
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: I like that. I could see that. I like it because,

80
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: of course, the Mets also own a role as Chapman.

81
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: So always haven't always will Number thirty eight now Jesse Winker,

82
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: former Met, I sadly do not have him returning to

83
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: the Mets because I had to have them getting it

84
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: some other outfielders as we go along this, but I'm

85
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: going to Pittsburgh Pirates.

86
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: Same Yeah, it took us four guys if we matched them.

87
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: How the hell did we both pick the Pirates. I

88
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: want to hear your reasoning.

89
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: I think that first of all, of course, they always

90
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: need a bath. They always use a DH or corner outfielder.

91
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: I think they could use some nasty. I think that's

92
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: for this team to get to the next level. They

93
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: need some nasty. And I think Winkers a good twenty

94
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: five home or bat three fifty on base percentage nasty.

95
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: I think that's just a perfect right there, good fit. Dude.

96
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo's the Pittsburgh of New York, and it just feels

97
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: like if you're if you're a Buffalo guy, you're gonna

98
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: go to Pittsburgh at some point in your life. He

99
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: just feels like he's a Pirate. I think the jerseys,

100
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: the everything, the attitude would be so big for that. Yeah,

101
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: the hair would be so big for that organization. Rightfield

102
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: is a short little porch over there. Hit some balls

103
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: into the alleghany. I think it would be a perfect fit.

104
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: That's crazy that we both just were like, Jesse Winker

105
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: won't be a met He'll be a Pittsburgh Pirate. All right.

106
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see which other ones we're gonna

107
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: agree on here, Frankie Montas? Are we going to in

108
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: a row? James? Who do you got for Frankie Montas?

109
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies? Oh? Okay, no, we disagree, We disagreed.

110
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: I just think he's going to the Phillies. The Phillies

111
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: are gonna need the back again, Starlther. They kind of

112
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 2: went the whole last year rotating their fourth and fifth guys. Really,

113
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: the Taiwan Walker contract has become one of the worst

114
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: in baseball. Shockingly, no one could have seen that coming

115
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: besides you and I somehow, But Mantas offers a little

116
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: bit of upside. He Scott a little. He coached a

117
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: little bit of that out last year with the Brewers.

118
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: You probably only need to give him a one or

119
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: two year deal, which would be nice for the Phillies

120
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: as they have very blow the contracts at the top

121
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: of their roster. And he still throws like ninety seven

122
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: miles an hour with a great splither and a slider.

123
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: So so again, I see some upside. Frankie Botas, I

124
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 2: think the Phillies are a good spot together.

125
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that feels like a good fit, especially because

126
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: they're not quite sure what Andrew Painter is going to

127
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: be able to give them going into next year or

128
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: just yet or when. Yeah, I know he pitched in

129
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: the Fall League. I had Frankie Montas going to the

130
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland Guardians just feels like a Guardian guy where it's

131
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: like a pitcher with good stuff, similar reasons that you

132
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: mentioned for the Phillies, a team that had a good

133
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: enough starting pitching last year, but when you got to

134
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you want I think bigger game pitchers, and

135
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: Montess just feels better than Ben Lively. And I think

136
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: you'd rather give the ball to Frankie Montas every five

137
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: days and the guy like that and Stephen Vote. I

138
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: think they played together in Oakland, so like I always

139
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: like to have a little bit of connection with these guys.

140
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: He caught him. If he thinks he's good, I'm sure

141
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna tell them to go after him. And he'll

142
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: be cheap. Don't think he's gonna be expensive. No. Justin Turner,

143
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: former New York met where you got him going.

144
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: Boca Ratone to play pickleball. I don't think Justin Turner

145
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: is playing major League baseball next year.

146
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. And I put if he's

147
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: going anywhere, I think he just goes back to the Maritors,

148
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: because yeah, whatever, who cares? I played well out here.

149
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: If they want to pay me, I'll take it. Yeah. Now,

150
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: next one, J J.

151
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: Martinez, same pickleball, I don't I think I think the

152
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: goose is cooked on J. D.

153
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: Martinez. Sadly, Yeah, I had to pick in my video

154
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: that did my YouTube channel just because I don't do

155
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: retired necessarily. I just sent him back to the Diamondbacks.

156
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: I don't know they could use a DH kind of.

157
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: They also Loyd's Carielle, who just can't who can't play

158
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: the field at all. You think he has another year

159
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: or two of that contract.

160
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

161
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: Those two guys I put together and I'm just like,

162
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: who's yeah, yeah, yeah, what's gonna happen there? Next on

163
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: the list, I think there is a super interesting one

164
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: as fits into this offseason.

165
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: Paul Golschman. Where'd you have Paul Golschman going? I actually

166
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: have Paul Golschman being that aging veteran first baseman going

167
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: to the Arizona Diamonbacks. He's going back. He's running it

168
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: back one more time. Not happy with how he's ending

169
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis. I think he's gonna be sought after

170
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: two just because he's not gonna cost very much. There

171
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: could be something maybe still left there. I know the

172
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: last year and a half has been devastatingly bad for

173
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmidt in terms of everything. He's just not been

174
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: a good baseball player for eighteen months now. But I

175
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: think if there was ever a chance go back to

176
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: where it started, Arizona Diamonbacks, they need a first baseman,

177
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: I can see giving him one more shot. Yeah, I

178
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: like that. What's gonna happen with this?

179
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: We're playing a ton of musical chairs with who needs

180
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: certain positions, first base being an obvious one because I

181
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: had Paul Golschman going to the New York Yankees.

182
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: Oo.

183
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: I think he just looks and feels like Yankee. This

184
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: is literally the next version of Anthony Rizzo. This is

185
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: exactly the next Anthony Rizzo. They're going to get him

186
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 2: and perfectly slide him into first base. You're gonna squit

187
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: to be like, is that Anthony Rizzo? Oh No, it's

188
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: actually Paul Goldschman, he's already Yeah, it's.

189
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: The guy from Delaware who swings right handed. All right.

190
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: Another former Met here, a lot of former Mets in

191
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: this free agent class. Michael CONFORDO. Where is he going?

192
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: And will it break our hearts? Seattle Mariners Ooh okay,

193
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: Oregon boy.

194
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, stay in the West coast. Get a one year deal.

195
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: See if he can ever coax out another couple of

196
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: year deal for rest career. But for the way the

197
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: Max ex Velosi last year he hadn't hit hi about

198
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: four years. He had also his highest nine percent of

199
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: eLEGS Velossi in the last four years. He had the

200
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: one twelve WRC plus in the season he hit lefties

201
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: bett than he ever had in his entire career, which

202
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: is a funny thing hearing from Mets fans because we

203
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: saw that firsthand for.

204
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: A very long time.

205
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: But I think in four of those one of the

206
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: more underrated in general powerheaders. The team like the Mariners,

207
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: who could use a corner outfield guy, would be very

208
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: would really welcome him in a one year, ten million

209
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: dollars deal.

210
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that fit for sure. I

211
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: went with the Los Angeles Dodgers. I think they're gonna

212
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna need to replace they Oscar Hernandez

213
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: out on the outfield. Not that Michael Confordo is even

214
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: close to as good as Tay Oscar is as a hitter,

215
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: but when you run him in a platoon, when you

216
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: run him out in the corner outfield in LA and

217
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to hit in the middle of that order,

218
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: I think he gives so much needed depth and length

219
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: to this Dodgers lineup, and it just it feels like

220
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: something where they're gonna be sneaking, like, Wow, ten million

221
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: dollars from Michael Confordo. Yeah, sure, we'll take them, no problem.

222
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Dodgers getting a much more annoying player later on.

223
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: But moving on next one, Harrison Bay there. I don't

224
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: think he's one of the forth the best free agents

225
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: at all, but we gotta put the Mets on. Here

226
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: is the Mets the podcast. I also have character Baana

227
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: come back to the Mets. Really, I've been saying this

228
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: a lot on this show that I think that based

229
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: on the outfielder's the Mets have on the roster now

230
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: and outfielders we hope or expect them to possibly pursue

231
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: really heavily. They still need someone the play center field

232
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: on a semi daily basis, And it was true last offseason.

233
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 2: It's true again right now. I think they need I

234
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: don't know if it is Harrison Bather, but they need

235
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: a Harrison Bather to be on this roster and scoop

236
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: up those flaball at centerfield.

237
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, I still think the Mets are going to

238
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: look for other opportunities, Like we mentioned Cedric Mullins in

239
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: a previous video, and Drew Gilbert I think has a

240
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: pretty good shot to make opening day if he has

241
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: a hot spring training, and he would be a natural

242
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: platoon with Tyrone Taylor. Left you righty. I have Harrison

243
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: Bader just because I love doing this going to the Angels.

244
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: I love the Angels just taking dudes just like simply

245
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: on vibes or looks or just like charisma. We know

246
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: Harrison Bader's city boy. He's got to conquer La. I

247
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: know it's Anaheim, but I think he'd have a lot

248
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: of fun out on the West Coast. Could do him

249
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: some good.

250
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no Newport, Newport to LA. It's not the worst

251
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: uber for Harrison Bather. I'm getting one year, ten million

252
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: dollar contracts every year. He could definitely pull that off.

253
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Kirby Yates, where do we have him?

254
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: I think this is actually one of the more underrated

255
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: free agents right now in the market. He had a

256
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: phenomenal year last year with the Rangers.

257
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: I think so too, but he's also thirty eight two

258
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: Timmy John's. But I have him going to be an

259
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: absolute bona fide closer. To Toronto Blue Jays.

260
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: Ooh, okay, they have their bulb.

261
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: They have a decent team, but it really just it's

262
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: good at the top gets very bad very quickly. They

263
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 2: need deposition players. They probably need one more starting pitcher

264
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 2: at least for depth.

265
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: They may need four or five relief pitchers.

266
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: I think Kirby Yates is the one who headlines a

267
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: big offseason of the Blue Jays acquiring relief pitchers.

268
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: So I have him going to the Phillies. I think

269
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: he is going to be their stop gap, get a closer.

270
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: Right now. We know that we can get some good

271
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: innings out of this guy. He's been great and I

272
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: don't think he gives up many home runs either, which

273
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: that ballpark obviously is a big thing. Kirbyates feels like

274
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: a cheapish reliever that the Phillies could get some some

275
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: saves out of which I think they desperately need because

276
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: we know the end of the games have always been

277
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: a little bit shaky the last couple of years.

278
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: Yes, very bad, very bad. Next up, Near and dear.

279
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: Favor of the podcast, favor of most of you guys listening,

280
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: Jose Iglesias. Oh my god, I can't not put him

281
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: back to the Mets.

282
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: I have him gone back. Yeah, yeah, he's come back.

283
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: And I think it's one of those things where one

284
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: we know a little inside your organization, there's no way

285
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: they let omg go anywhere else. Two he doesn't really

286
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: He's not gonna cost you anything. It just makes sense.

287
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: It seems like the organization loves them, seems like the

288
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: team loves them. I think just from a veteran leadership standpoint,

289
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: from a vibe standpoint, from a just being around the

290
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: young players. We know how important he was to Mark

291
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: Vientos in Triple A and how great he was for

292
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: growth there. He doesn't hurt you to have and he

293
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: can play every infield position like that's valuable. And it's

294
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: the end of the day.

295
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 2: It's probably better for the Mets because they're going to

296
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: want to compete next year to be able to give

297
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: Luis an Helicunya and Ronnie Mariscio a soft landing spot.

298
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: Let them just start the season triple A, no pressure,

299
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 2: no worry about it. Make Jose Glacis this year's version

300
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: of Joey Wendel one year, three million dollars and just

301
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: let everyone coast into the season and if anything happens,

302
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: they're ready to go. But let them let them be

303
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: able to take them take their mind off of early

304
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 2: this holiday season.

305
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: I want to give a gift to my loved ones

306
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 3: that makes them feel special and unique. That gift is

307
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 3: story Worth.

308
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 4: Here's how it works. Each week, story Worth emails your

309
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: loved one a thought provoking question that you get to

310
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 4: help pick, things like what's the bravest thing you've ever

311
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,000

328
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah no, I totally like that. That makes the most sense.

329
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: I think the Mets will do that all right. Another

330
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: met here, another Jose Jose Kingtana. Where do you got

331
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: him going? The Pittsburgh Pirates again?

332
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I think this is one where the Pirates are

333
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 2: like one year, eleven mil throw one hundred seventy innings

334
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: for us, please, so come up, yeah, eat these innings.

335
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: Keeping in the same division, I went Cincinnati Reds for

336
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: the exact same reasons of throw one hundred and seventy innings,

337
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 2: have a four or five ra you have a couple

338
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 2: of good starts for us, and they back into their

339
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: rotation just like the Pirates is just so juggling. It's

340
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: a Graham ash Craft and it's what's the guy Lion

341
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: Richardson Like, they just throw anybody at the back end

342
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 2: of that rotation. Brandon Williamson gets in there every once

343
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 2: in a while, posea Kantana will give you some stability

344
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 2: for a team that isn't that far away from being

345
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: an NL central competitor.

346
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: No, not far at all.

347
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: But again it's a similar thing where these small and

348
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: mid market teams just really have trouble building out the

349
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: middle and bottom of the roster, which is where the

350
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: big market teams. You guys can hear lie of the

351
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: same teams over the next twenty five twenty eight free

352
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: ages we're going to name because they're gonna sign them all.

353
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: But next up, Tyler O'Neill, this is gonna be annoying.

354
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: I have him going to.

355
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,479
Speaker 1: The Dodgers, whoa okay interesting.

356
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: I have him oddly being like slightly cheap pantioskar Harnandz

357
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: while also probably being better both in the field than

358
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: possibly even not to plate.

359
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I've got him going back home Canada. Oh, Canada.

360
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: He is a Canadian. I think he's gonna get multiple

361
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: years from the Blue Jays, and I think because of

362
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: that multiple year security, he's like, yeah, happy to be here,

363
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: happy to play for the nation's team where he's from.

364
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: And they desperately need a corner raulefielder because George Springer

365
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: right now is really the only one That outfield is

366
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: super weak Offensively, it's Springer, Dalton Var showing like Joey

367
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: Loperfido or Nathan Lucas. You can't feel great about that outfield.

368
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: Tyler O'Neil's a dude who will make that lineup instantly better.

369
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: You mentioned very top heavy. He makes that spread out

370
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Okay, Yes, Jerks and profar. Is

371
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: there a world where he is not playing for the

372
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: San Diego Padres next year because I don't see it. Nope,

373
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: I have won the Padres. Cool, move on to the

374
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: next one. Walker. Is there a world where Walker Buehler

375
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: is not playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers next year

376
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: because I don't see it.

377
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he's gonna be back. Wow, really okay,

378
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be back to with give him

379
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: the qualifying offer.

380
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: I think that was clear his day. The thing that

381
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: can endlessen rumors on the inner that it's whatever. It's

382
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: just saw that Walker Brules like happy to come back

383
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: to LA and apparently the Dodgers are happy to have

384
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: him back too. So when I saw two happy people,

385
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: I just go Dodgers again. But I'd love him on

386
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: the Mets, Yeah, I did.

387
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: I didn't see that about the qualifying about about him

388
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: being happy, because for them, then you would just have

389
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: him back if you off from the qualifying off and

390
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: there wouldn't be a risk, Like why even let this

391
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: happen out there. I think that he is going to

392
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: want them AULTI year deal and no one's going to

393
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: give it to him. And he's gonna sign a one

394
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: year deal with the team who thinks can help him

395
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: the best for one year development and that'll be the

396
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: Baltimore Orioles. He'll be able to pitch one of the

397
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: biggest parts in the league. I mean again, it's all

398
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: hard of them against the lefties because that's still not

399
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: a hard place for lefties at home runs. But I

400
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: think it's like a one year deal with the Orioles.

401
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: Prove that everything he saw in the playoffs was real,

402
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: Prove that he could still be a top end pitcher

403
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: at least a real two to three, and do that

404
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: for a year.

405
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: Okay, I can say it'd be a nice little fit

406
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: there in Oriols. And he's starting pitching always. That's the

407
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: one thing that they just haven't been able to really

408
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: figure out. Okay, Top twenty five here Jeff Hoffman, where

409
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: do you got him going? James, This is a weird

410
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: one podcast.

411
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: I have Jeff Hoffman being the number three or four

412
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: starther on the Mets. WHOA I think we're gonna give

413
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna give Jeff Hoffin like eleven or

414
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: twelve million dollars a year, similar to what we've been

415
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: doing the last few years with Seve Reno and Sean

416
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: Maanaya and even going back for Coda Sanga two years ago,

417
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: and we're gonna be like, you're going back to the rotation.

418
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: You've never really started in your career outside of Colorado.

419
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: Besides a brief stain Cincinnati. You figure out better moving

420
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: on your slider, better moving on your splither. You coaxed

421
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: more velocity on your fastball. That velosity will pull back

422
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: a little bit as you come back to rotation. He

423
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: sat ninety six ninety seven last year. That means we're

424
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: gonna hope he sits ninety four as a starter. If

425
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: he drops below ninety three, we're gonna be in trouble.

426
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: But I trust the slither. He needs to get more

427
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: comfortable to splither, and he started throwing a two seamer

428
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: last year that I think he will also be able

429
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: to throw as a starter. This will be a fad

430
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: these next few years because worked a lot in the

431
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: last few Jordan Hicks was really good for two months

432
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: and he stopped being good. Ronaldo Lopez was amazing as

433
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: the start of the last year.

434
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: Seth Lugo.

435
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: We've seen him be cy Young caliber since moving back

436
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: to rotation. Shout out the Mets. But again, not a

437
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: problem is just the fact that to someone else did

438
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: it's like, damn, maybe we should have done that. I

439
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 2: think we're going to do that. Try to write that

440
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: wrong with Jeff Hoffman this offseason.

441
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't hate that take. That's an interesting one.

442
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: I know that there have been talks about him being

443
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: pitched as a starting pitcher to try and get him

444
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: to sign a longer deal with a team. I have

445
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: him gone to the Angels. I don't know why. It

446
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: just feels like Angels. I love giving the Angels like

447
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: there's nothing Ardy Moreno loves more than being like, who's

448
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: the sexy new like relief pitcher that came out of nowhere.

449
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: He gave Robert Stevenson a ton of money and he

450
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: hasn't pitched a game. I think for the team still,

451
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: Jeff Hoffman feels like the next guy. Maybe for the

452
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: Angels where it's like ooh, Jeff Hoffman, sparkly, like cool name,

453
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: Maybe he could be a starting pitcher again, feels like

454
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: ARTI Moreno all over it.

455
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: I'm just so into him being a starters because also,

456
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 2: I think a team like the Mets, where you're gonna

457
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: get really really close to these luxury tax thresholds, you

458
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: have a chance for an upside star that for like

459
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: eleven twelve million. Yes, And if you do, you trust

460
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: the internal development year after year, which we have been

461
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: able to get these pictures in and make them better

462
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: pretty instantly.

463
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm into that move, okay. I like it. Where you

464
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: got Clay Holmes going.

465
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: Also to the Mets. Baby, let's do it. Clay Holmes

466
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 2: is gonna want to stay in New York. He's not

467
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: gonna get the high end reliever money that he hopes

468
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 2: to get in the open market from teams like the

469
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 2: Angels and who else. I think he's gonna wind up

470
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: signing like a one plus one deal with the Mets

471
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 2: for like eight million dollars a year, and that becomes

472
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: someone who is again we could trust as a legitimately

473
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: good setup man for Edmond ds See.

474
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: I priced Clay Holmes out of the Mets. I think

475
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna get multi years. I think he's gonna want

476
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: to be a closer, and I think he's gonna be

477
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: a closer for the Chicago Cubs. That okay. That team

478
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: has had a major issue with the bullpen the last

479
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: couple of years. They love keeping the ball in the park, obviously,

480
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: they love guys who can do that, play homes that sinker.

481
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: I know he got a little home run happy this

482
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: year in Yankee Stadium, but that can happen. Put him

483
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: in Chicago, put him in Wrigley Field, let that sinker

484
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: work some good defense behind them. I think he'll be

485
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: just fine out there, and I think he's gonna I

486
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: think he's gonna take a multi year deal.

487
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: I think a weird poll with this is that the

488
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: Mets just hired the Yankees' assistant pitching Copes Dessi Drewschelle,

489
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: and I think that that's someone who had a really

490
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: good relationship with Clay Holmes. He can see Clay homes

491
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 2: similar to what happened lastyear. LUs Saverrino being like, I'm

492
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: not seeing a deal I want. I don't want to move.

493
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: I trust the scenes development, I trust the scenes vision,

494
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: I trust the ballpark, I trust the defense. There's a

495
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: good spot for me.

496
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, this is That's stuff I love doing

497
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: all the time. On these predictions. Is like when you

498
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: had your best year, who is your pitching coach? Where

499
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: is he now? Yeah, I think it's gonna happen. Next up,

500
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: we have got another reliever, Blake Trin, and I've got

501
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: him going to the Kansas City Royals. I see them

502
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: being like, we gotta get some arms out in this

503
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: bullpen again. We got Lucas urseg send him to Kansas City.

504
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: This is my Los Angeles angel. Well, okay, that's just

505
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: won the World Series the Dodgers.

506
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 2: Peramin Agen sees that. He's like, wow, I'm gonna get

507
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 2: one of the best clothes in baseball. Then we're gonna

508
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: win the World Series next and his arm is going

509
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: to fall off that I could see that. That totally checks. Yeah,

510
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: all right. Next up on the list, favor of mine,

511
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: also favorite of yours Glabor Tores, Baby Mark, Where do

512
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 2: you got Labor Torres?

513
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: Landing? Miami Marlins? Get ready to learn? Miami buddy? How

514
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: many second basement can one team have a million? A million?

515
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: And I think I think the reason is, like, Okay,

516
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: you see that there's a good player in there. I'm

517
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: not as high on him. I think at the end

518
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: of the day, he is a very professional Major League

519
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: Baseball player, and it seems like someone where the Marlins

520
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: are like we can just count on him every single day,

521
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: like Otto Lopez stinks. You look, they have so many

522
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: second basement they're all so much worse than Labor Torres,

523
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: Like they're not really particularly that good. The only thing

524
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: that I think would make it not make sense is

525
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: if the Marlins have some short stop that they want

526
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: to play because Xavier Edwards can't play shortstop. He had

527
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: like negative fifteen OAA and sixteen games at the position.

528
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: He is a second baseman maybe, Like I don't know

529
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: what he can do defensively. He's a good hitter, good

530
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: offensive guy. That would be the only thing that kind

531
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: of stares steers me away. But I remember they were

532
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: linked to Glabor in the past too, Like, just do

533
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: it already, get a room, you two.

534
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: I have a weird one here the Blue Jays.

535
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: Ooh okay.

536
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: I think the Blue Jays are to have holes all

537
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: across the field. They coul definitely use a second baseman.

538
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 2: I think right now Will Wagner is Pennsylvan to be

539
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: the starter there in opening downs. Kid, Yeah, Billy's kid.

540
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: I just think that they're gonna have a bag of

541
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: money that they're gonna not be able to throw at

542
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: the exact guys they want to throw that. Then they're

543
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: gonna be panic stricken like habits the Blue Jays every offseason,

544
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: and they're gonna wind up giving Labor tor As a

545
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 2: four year deal for no reason.

546
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: Oh god, four years. I was like Marlin's one year deal.

547
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: Glabor just wants to prove it and play every day.

548
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: Four years would be crazy thin.

549
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 2: They're gonna give him like a four for like seventy eight.

550
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: God, Okay, there's a lot better players out there. I

551
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: would not give him that. You say, Kakuchi, where you

552
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: got him going?

553
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: This is your boy, Sam Francisco Giants, and he's gonna

554
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: be fucking awesome. I would love Kakuchi to be on

555
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: the Mets, but just kind of planning out the way

556
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: I put these prices for guys the Mets are getting here,

557
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 2: I kind of priced them out of what Grekkuchi's going

558
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: to land, which is probably around twenty million dollars a year.

559
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 2: Really good pitcher went to the Astros last year. They

560
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 2: stopped made him stop throwing his curveball through tons more sliders.

561
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: His fastball is explosive. He's thirty four years old. We

562
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: just pitched better than he ever has in his major

563
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 2: league career. I don't care about the four point seven

564
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: career Yra. I really care about the thirty three percent

565
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: striker rate in the second half last year after he

566
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 2: adjusted this pitch micks. I think he's gonna be one

567
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: of the best bargains on the market. And I think

568
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 2: he's gonna land very comfortably on the West coast with

569
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 2: the Giants.

570
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: See, I have him going to the Mets. I think

571
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: he will get meta. I think this is a guy

572
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: that just makes a lot of sense Japanese connection code

573
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: I sanga uh. I think what also is super important

574
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: with the Giants and Kokuchi, I have them getting pictures.

575
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: They definitely need to get some pictures in that rotation

576
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: because shockingly they don't have enough. Buster Posey is their

577
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: president of baseball ops. He's gonna build that team old school.

578
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna be like, how did we win the World Series?

579
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: And I think you say, Kakuchi's gonna see that four

580
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: seven era. He's gonna completely not even look at what

581
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: the second half was. It's gonna be malpracticed by Buster Posey.

582
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: But that's why I don't have him going there. I

583
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: have them getting some other pictures. I'm in Kakuchi I

584
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: think would really like New York, although apparently he like

585
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: sleeps like an insane amount. That could be tough in

586
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: New York City.

587
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: He needs to live on like the forty third floor

588
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 2: like building in like Queens. Not even Matan put him

589
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: in Connecticut or something.

590
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, just.

591
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 2: Bust and bust into the gamer. I did forget about

592
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: the posy thing that pot. I was still thinking about

593
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: the old Giants. I totally forgot the hard buster posed.

594
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: To be the poo.

595
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: I think that probably won't happen. I honestly might now

596
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: flip two guys I have coming up next. Okay, like,

597
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: just just bear with me for a second. I'm gonnaut

598
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 2: kakuo right now to the Los Angeles Dodgers. I'm gonna

599
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 2: put the different players the Giants later on, I think.

600
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 2: I think I see in California, I see hit team.

601
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: The Dodgers will need one more starting pitcher. I don't

602
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 2: have them resigning Walker Bueller, and they'll be like, oh,

603
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 2: thirty three percent tracker right in the second half. This

604
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 2: will be sustainable. You might start game two of our

605
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 2: playoff series.

606
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: Okay, I like it. I like it. Tanner Scott, you

607
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: got Tanner Scott.

608
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: Gowing, Boston Red Sox Boston all right. I think they're

609
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: gonna open up that check book. I think they're ray

610
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: of the role. I truly think they are. I think

611
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: that I think they're pissed off. I think there's time

612
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 2: to go all these prospects are coming up next year

613
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 2: the year after this is gonna be a team that

614
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 2: I think soon gets back to not full prominence, like

615
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: not where we're seeing the Red Sox from like ten

616
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 2: years ago, but I think we're gonna see the Red

617
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: Sox have an era of prosperity in general starting this season.

618
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 1: Breslo is their guy right now, right, Yes, former former reliever.

619
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: I could see that. I could see that. I had

620
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: him going to the Toronto Blue Jays similar reasons that

621
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier. They're gonna have to spend money. This

622
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: team is not good. Jordan Romano gets hurt every single year.

623
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: You can't really rely on him. And I feel like,

624
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: and this is this is me, but I feel like

625
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: they might be stupid enough to give Tanner Scott like

626
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: four or five years for like way too much money,

627
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: just because they're like, our bullpen's been so bad, we

628
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: need to fix it. Who's nasty? Tanner Scott Tars Scott's great.

629
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: I just don't know about giving him a big contract

630
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: like that.

631
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that they just I think they're gonna

632
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 2: settle in just a tier lower with the relievers money wise.

633
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 2: That's why I had him going to site the second

634
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: tier reliever. Who had him going with it was it

635
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: was Yates. I think, yeah, that just seems like a

636
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: better fit thing that's around.

637
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: The Blue Jays, Dube. I do see your logic there,

638
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: because they're going to just get star panic spending, oh

639
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: for sure, because they've lost the last three off seasons.

640
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: The only guy they've been able to spend money on

641
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: is who James George Springer. George Springer, and he's frendous.

642
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: He's been terrible.

643
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: Bet the family farm on that. Next up, Luis Severino.

644
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: I think that has to be the Mets, right, Yeah,

645
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: I put Mets question the qualifying offer. I don't see

646
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: him getting more than twenty one million dollars on the market.

647
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: I don't see the only way he would is if

648
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: he got multi years. But he's gonna be taking less

649
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: aav there's kind of really no reason for him not

650
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: to take the contract with the Mets.

651
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 4: No.

652
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 2: I think also you could put him, Nick paved and

653
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: Nick Martinez all in the same category. We're like, oh,

654
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: we got the qualifying offer, Yeah, I'll take twenty one

655
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: million dollars.

656
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we I didn't put Pavetta or Martinez on

657
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: this because it just feels like there are locks to

658
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: go back where they are.

659
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: I think Severino as well. Next up, I think this

660
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: is a really interesting guy saw season, Christian Walker, where

661
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: you got.

662
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: Bronx got him going to the Yankees. I think because

663
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: there's a chance that they could lose out on the

664
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: big fell out and right field Juan Soto. I think

665
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: that they are going to need to improve offensively where

666
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: I know you gave them gold Schmidt and you're like,

667
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: it's look at Anthony Rizzo. I think they want to

668
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: get better out of that position. They have little to

669
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: no depth right now in terms of major league ready infielders.

670
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: Like Ben Rice. They didn't play him at the end

671
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: of the year almost at all. I don't think he's

672
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: really a player that you can rely on to get

673
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: that many at bats. And Christian Walker is a good ballplayer.

674
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: He's really good, great first basemen, great defensively, awesome hitter.

675
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: Barrel rates are through the roof. He would really really

676
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: help this Yankees lineup. The only thing is, like I

677
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe they they're afraid of being so right

678
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 1: handed heavy in that lineup, which could be a concern.

679
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did have them get Goulschmith though for those

680
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: same reasons. Christian Walker also is a Northeast guy. He's

681
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 2: from Pennsylvania. I don't know which side of the Pennsylvania.

682
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 2: I just know he's in from Pennsylvania. So the game Cock,

683
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah game Cock. So maybe does like the South. I

684
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: could be very in New York if very not New York.

685
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 2: But I have him going to the Astros. Okay, yeah,

686
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: again one of the business I considered. Yeah, this is

687
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 2: our musical chairs, the first space and that we're talking about.

688
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: I think the Astros are just gonna like, maybe see

689
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 2: they're going to to toe with Yankees and still one

690
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: to be able to beat them if they can.

691
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: And they're gonna put.

692
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 2: Everything they had this off season into Christian Walker because's

693
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: not really any other places they're gonna be looking to

694
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 2: vastly improve. This is just the obvious spot for them.

695
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: Yep, definitely I agree with that. Pay Oscar Hernandez where

696
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: you got him going.

697
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 2: Weird one Detroit Tigers ooh, okay, readie to make a play,

698
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: need some power and could use DH could use a

699
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: corner off field as someone who could do both of

700
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 2: those things. Just kind of want to send a signal

701
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 2: to the team to the fans did like last year

702
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: wasn't a mirage, Like we're ready to fuck around and

703
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: play some ball.

704
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: I like that. I think that would be huge for

705
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: their offense. That would be a massive, massive ad. I

706
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: always get worried about free agents going to Detroit that

707
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: are hitters, just because you know that's like a hell hole,

708
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: so you kind of have to pay a little.

709
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 2: I won't take him fancy baseball, no chance.

710
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: No, absolutely not. I have him going to the Boston

711
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: Red Sox. I think you can stick him in left field.

712
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: He doesn't you don't care about his range. I know

713
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: you'd have to learn how to play off the Green Monster.

714
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: But stick him in left field. Let him just pepper

715
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: balls off the Green Monster all year long for the

716
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: next four or five, six years, whatever contract it is.

717
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: I think that's the guy offensively that they're like, let's

718
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: give you a boatload of money. Let's make this offense

719
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: really get good. Hot take.

720
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: I think I think Romananthy's gonna be playing in Boston

721
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: by May fifteen.

722
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. There's I've seen some rumors

723
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: that maybe they trade Willie or brew on his peak

724
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: right now and try and get some pitching for him,

725
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: or get some younger, younger players. Roman, Anthony's a dog though,

726
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna be playing for that team at

727
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: some point this year.

728
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 2: Incredible, all right. Next up on the list, Jock Peterson.

729
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: Where you got a little Jock man? I was I

730
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: was really flip flopping between like fifteen different teams because

731
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: I think everybody could use a Jock Peterson, the Mets included.

732
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: I gave him to a division rival, the Washington Nationals.

733
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: I think that get hot in that ballpark, the summer

734
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: balls fly to right field. I think Jock could have

735
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: a really nice season. And if they're not competing, easy

736
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: trade deadline piece to move. Yeah, no, very easy.

737
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 2: I've one to the Royals for just the same.

738
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: That was one of the teams.

739
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 2: One of the same reasons you said, just another team, like,

740
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: let's just get a bat. We don't have that much money,

741
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 2: so I don't want to spend too much money on it,

742
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: but just give me a bat.

743
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: Give me a bat, right now.

744
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 2: Let's let's let's improve this line up drastically for ten

745
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: million dollars.

746
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: So you talked about improving the line drastically, Anthony Santon,

747
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: there I've got him going to the Kansas City Royals.

748
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 2: I had him Royals and I flipped him just now

749
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 2: last second, and now I have him going to the

750
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. Okay, Yeah, so it's for all the same

751
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: reasons you just have with Tyler O'Neil. Yes, again, same

752
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: musical Channis stamposition, the same kind of vibe. I just

753
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: think that they're I I don't know, I think that

754
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if Antony There's better than Tyler O'Neal,

755
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: but I think some teams think he is.

756
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: I think the Blue Jams might be one of them.

757
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: And again, they're gonna have a big hole burning in

758
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: their pocket and they're gonna be willing, willing to make

759
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: mistakes with it.

760
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: The thing that concerns me about Santandre to the Royals,

761
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: like it just conceptually feels right to me, but he's

762
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: he's like really a DH at the end of the

763
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: day's pretty awful out in the outfield. And Salvor Perez

764
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: is gonna play for the Royals until he dies, and

765
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: he plays a lot of DH two. That's how they

766
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: get his bat in the lineup. A lot is having

767
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: him at the DH spot. Santander in the outfield sketchy.

768
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: It's one of the biggest outfields in all of Major

769
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: League Baseball. The fit there doesn't make sense. But the Royals,

770
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: I think saw what they had last year, saw that

771
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: they had a chance to really make some noise. And

772
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: they're definitely gonna spend money. Like you said, you think,

773
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: Jock Peterson, I want.

774
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: Some think it would be one year and like Salve Perez,

775
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: one year. You can still kind of figure it out

776
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: for a batch of dh move everybody around a little bit,

777
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: especially with the lefty righty stuff. But I can't see

778
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: them pushing in that hard. That get I see them

779
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: pushing in, but they just I just don't simply think

780
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: they have enough money to do it as much as

781
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: they want to.

782
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: Sneaky, sneaky rich owners. Now they got the Mahomes partial

783
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: group in there, and I think they want to win.

784
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: But we'll see. We'll see Hassung Kim, interesting free agent.

785
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: Where do you think he's gonna go? This one's gonna

786
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: piss you off. But the Atlanta Braves, oh wow, No,

787
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: I don't see Wow Braves. That will never even cross

788
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: my mind.

789
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: I just think that it's very obvious they need a

790
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: shortstop they made vocally clear that they need a shorts up.

791
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: Don't think they're gonna want to spend the money on

792
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: the top shortstop. And I think that they're just gonna

793
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 2: settle in with Hasan Kim. Let him hit eighth, and

794
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: he's just gonna be a thorn in the metside for

795
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: the next four years while he play shortstop. Yeah, I

796
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: mean he was a thorn in our side when he

797
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: was with the Padres and he wasn't much of a hitter.

798
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: Then he's a good ball player, good ball player. I

799
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: have him going to the Giants. Aren't like him and

800
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: junghu LEI aren't they like brother in law's. I think

801
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: I think there's some sort of relations between.

802
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 2: The two that would that would be kind of funny

803
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 2: if they are.

804
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: Put the put the family together. I think I think

805
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: that's what it is. I have him going to the

806
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants, and the Giants could really use batter

807
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: who could play like every position.

808
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: So this also, I mean, shame on me again for

809
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 2: forgetting that Buster posed he was the president of baseball operations.

810
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: I remember over the weekend or like last Friday, he

811
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 2: gave a quote where he was like, yeah, Nick fits Gerald,

812
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: not a short stop. We're gonna be looking for a

813
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: short Fitzgerald. We gonna look for short Like, why would

814
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: you say that? Don't tell people that. Now you're gonna

815
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: bet and you've lost all your leverage.

816
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, tydlerth for Cherald Butcher at shortstop and the hitting

817
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: was definitely fake. But he had a nice little season. Okay,

818
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: a couple former meths, well, actually we got a list

819
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: of former Yeah, Justin Verlander, he's still kicking it, he

820
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: still wants to pitch. I've got him going back to

821
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: the Tigers, little aj Hintry Union.

822
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 2: I had a close one there, but had the astros. Okay,

823
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: you just think exactly. It seems like they seem vocal

824
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: like he's gonna come back, come back. But next player

825
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 2: on this list, Max Scherzer. I have him going to

826
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: the Tigers. WHOA, Okay, so I'm coming home. So I

827
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: originally did.

828
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: I had him going to the Tigers at one point

829
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: in this, but I think he's gonna go to the Giants.

830
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: And my reason being is that Buster Posey is gonna

831
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: be like, we need a winner, we need a dog,

832
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: Like who's gonna be our mad bum in this rotation

833
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: right now and Max Schers are wild. I don't think

834
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 1: he's not an asshole by any means. Madison Bumgardner major douchebag,

835
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: but I think Max is gonna be the guy where

836
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: he's like, we need a veteran leader who can push

837
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: this pitching staff to new heights. He's gonna get in

838
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: Logan webs Head. They're kind of both like Logo webs

839
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: more of a douche, but they're more like like super

840
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: intense guys. Max Schuers is a giant in my opinion.

841
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 2: Mad Bum's earned earned the right to be an asshole.

842
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: He of course from the great things I've ever seen.

843
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 2: All right, Next on this list is gonna be emotional one.

844
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 2: Peter Morgan Alonzo have him.

845
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: Or he's a met. He can't go anywhere else how,

846
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: even if they get Juan Soto, they have the money

847
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: for Peter Alonzo, Pee Alonzo's and New York Met. He'd

848
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: better be I don't want to see him anywhere else,

849
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: God forbid he goes to the Washington Nationals. I have

850
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: to root against him, and I know you're picking the Nationals. Yeah,

851
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: I knew it. I know I had him going to

852
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: the Mets.

853
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: And I started doing the math of where all this

854
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 2: money wound up, and I was just like, it's gonna

855
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 2: bind up being Pie Alonzo or a pretty good starting pitcher.

856
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 2: And I think at the end of the day, it sucks.

857
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: The mess might prefer the pretty good starting pitcher.

858
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,719
Speaker 1: Man, don't don't make me root against Pete. If he's

859
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: not gonna sound with the Mets, go fucking to Seattle,

860
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: Go to the Angels, I don't know, Go somewhere where

861
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: you're not gonna hurt me. I don't have to boo you.

862
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: The Rockies, Oh god, I'd love him on the Rockies.

863
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: If he's not on the Mets, he would break the

864
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: home run record, all right.

865
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 2: Next up on the list Nathan Valdi.

866
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: I've been seeing a lot of rumors that the Braves

867
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: would love to Bringathan Evaldi in, and I think that

868
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: does make sense. You're losing Charlie Morton, you're losing Max Freed.

869
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: You need to get some innings of Waldi's a big

870
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: game pitcher. I think the Braves are a really good

871
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: fit for him.

872
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: He's the guy who I have going to the Giants

873
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: for the same reason you got shares are going there. Yeah,

874
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: that's the old guy, that's the bad bum, that's I'm

875
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: gonna study this rotation. We're gonna bring some playoff prominence

876
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: to the team like he And originally I had him

877
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: as a Dodger for all these reasons, but then you

878
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: reminded me about both. You remind me about Posey, and

879
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: I flipped flip flop Ofvaldi and Kakuchi.

880
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: Also Evaldi Chris Sale, former teammate, also had a little

881
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,239
Speaker 1: bit of arm issues this past year. Braves got Chrysale right,

882
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: maybe they get Nathan Evaldi even better.

883
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: Think of all these he had the injury prone label

884
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: and he deserved it for the early part of his career.

885
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: He's got a five years of pretty pristine health.

886
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: I know, but his his miles, his velo just keeps

887
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: going down and down and down. It's like it's gonna

888
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: break at some point. He's still really effective.

889
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think he's just one of

890
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: these teams again, like Braves, Dodgers, Giants, Matts. I think

891
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: these teams are expecting to be in the postseason. Phillies

892
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: will be happy to give him a short term deal

893
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: where they're like, all right, you take the game in

894
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: Game three, we're not gonna throw up.

895
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: Definitely, uh Jack, oh no, Jack, Flarry's on next. But

896
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: shawm andyah shamaniyah. I have him going to the Detroit Tigers.

897
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: I think I think this is gonna be a picture

898
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: that they give some money to. I think that ballpark,

899
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: not that he has an issue with it, but just

900
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: like it with City Field, I think that ballpark would

901
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: do him wonders. I think playing the American League Central

902
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: would do him wonders. He is a top of the

903
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: rotation pitcher. I think the Tigers will pay him like

904
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: one because they kind of they have terror skool ball.

905
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: He's almost a little bit of insurance for him if

906
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: he if he doesn't end up staying. He's also Midwest guy.

907
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: Yes he's Indiana, but well he went to Indiana, DA.

908
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: And I don't know where he's from.

909
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 2: Oh yes, he's from from Valparaiso. Shout out my ex

910
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 2: also from Valpariso. But you have to remember mind it

911
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 2: every time. I think he can stay with the Mets. Okay,

912
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 2: I love him back, but this was kind of my

913
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 2: thought prize here. This was the next to my decision making.

914
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 2: It was kind of became shaman and I or p Alonzo,

915
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: and I think that's gonna be a not enviable spot

916
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 2: for the Mets. I think they're gonna be like, we

917
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: can get Shan Ma Andyah for less years and less

918
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 2: aav and we think there's an outside chance he's more valuable,

919
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: depending how the rest of the roster fills out.

920
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: Yes, it does depend how the rest of the roster

921
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: fills out, because of course, I mean, I think I

922
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: know what we're doing with the top guy, but we'll

923
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: get there at some point. Jack Flarity, where do you got,

924
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: Jack Flerity going angels? Baby?

925
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: This is the one five to the angels and he's

926
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 2: going to stink.

927
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I I told I was between the giants

928
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: and the Angels. I went giants. I went with the giants,

929
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: just similarly like California kid. I know West Coast is different,

930
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: but giants need they do need more arms. You look

931
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: at the arms of the back end their rotation right now,

932
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray, You're like relying on is still I think

933
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: a little scary just because you believe. Yeah, I couldn't

934
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: believe that Logan Web is still a beast, but I

935
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: think he is the who do you have going to

936
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: the giants? Recently the name what do we say I

937
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: have Pavaldi, He's kind of he's kind of my Evaldi,

938
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: where like you're just you're gonna be able to get

939
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: some innings out of him. He's gonna be fine in

940
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and we know that he's fake. He's kind

941
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: of fake good. You can be really fake good in

942
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: San Francisco because that parks huge. I also think those

943
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: two are basically in the same tier of pitcher free agents.

944
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: Valdi and he's a pumpy will take flair of these incredible.

945
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: I'll just I've never seen it.

946
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: Next one really interesting. The last video we did in

947
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 2: this channel, Rokie Sodgers.

948
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get it out before Dodger until

949
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: he's not a Dodger.

950
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 2: He is a Dodger, and I'm just gonna say that too,

951
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 2: So when he is a Dodger, I won't be really

952
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: upset by it. But yes, I don't know, maybe he

953
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 2: wants to go be his own star somewhere.

954
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.

955
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 2: Same agents. Coe is saying, I don't know. Next, Willia

956
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: Damas Atlanta Braves. I think they spend on the shortstop.

957
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 2: I think Willia Damas is the guy. Uh, they just

958
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 2: you can't roll out Orlando Arcia anymore.

959
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: He's bad. He's a bad baseball player. He's not good.

960
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: And Willia Damas, while he's gonna cost a lot of money,

961
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: they don't pay anybody else on that team any sort

962
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: of money. So they've got it. They can spend it.

963
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: Willia Damas is gonna haunt my dreams for for years

964
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 1: and years. Yeah.

965
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 2: I didn't want to accept that mentally that could ever

966
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: be a possibility. So I put him going to the

967
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 2: Giants for all those same reasons, but for a different team.

968
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 2: And I think him going to the Giants again. This

969
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 2: is a similar now back of the stop process buster pose, like,

970
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: this is shortstop, this.

971
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: Is our guy.

972
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: You could have him. You can get Matt Chatman. Now

973
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 2: we have Yeah, we have a real infields ballplayers.

974
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: I have a super funny take in my predictions video

975
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: on my channel where I just have the Giant signing

976
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: Brandon Crawford and putting them at shortstop again.

977
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 2: I can see that, I mean buzz pos like, I

978
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 2: know that guy can play shortstop all right? Next up,

979
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 2: top five free agents now, like, hey, you ranked these too.

980
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 2: I think I would put Domins in my top five.

981
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 2: But I do like how you put these guys here. Uh,

982
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 2: Max Freed, where.

983
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: You got them? I've got him going to the Dodgers.

984
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 1: He's been hanging out in LA, He's been hanging out

985
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: with all the players, and it just I think he's

986
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: a California kid.

987
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 3: He is.

988
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: He's something with Harvard Westlake. Yeah, he was with Jack

989
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: Flaherty and Gilito I think in that same high school. Yeah,

990
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: in high school, which is that's so fucked imagine going

991
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: up against Giolito, Flerity and Max Reied high school Like

992
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: that's these are three first round picks. What are we doing? Uh? Yeah,

993
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: I just the Dodgers need some more consistent innings. And

994
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: I know Max Reied necessarily isn't that guy. But he's

995
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: young enough where I think the Dodgers think they can

996
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: fix that injury issue that he's had.

997
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have him the Chicago Cubs. Okay, Uh, just

998
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 2: seemed in a Cubs Jersey just seems.

999
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: Like so many that's the one thing. The love that shit.

1000
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Brasdowski has been saying that Max Free

1001
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 1: data says he's a Cubs pitcher, Like it just makes sense.

1002
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 2: But don't like they don't. They go against the velocity.

1003
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 2: They love the breaking balls, they love the commands.

1004
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: Breed steel, Imanaga, and I think there's one more left

1005
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: to them for getting that rotation. I'm like, my god,

1006
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: like just so many lefties.

1007
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 2: Mah, maybe I don't know, Yeah, maybe that is true.

1008
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 2: But just he feels he just feels like a cub

1009
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: in my heart.

1010
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: I can see it.

1011
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 2: And Dansby connection, Yeah, dancy connection. Next up, I think

1012
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 2: there's a fascinating one. I have no fucking idea where

1013
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: this guy's going to sign. No Blake's now.

1014
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: I went with the Boston Red Sox. I think, spend

1015
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: money on a pitcher, this should be the guy. If

1016
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: it's not going to be Cordin Burns. I think, if

1017
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: you're going to go out and and let's just even

1018
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: say overpay for a guy who at his top is

1019
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: the best pitch, one of the best pitchers in baseball.

1020
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: When he's not throwing one hundred and eighty innings, he's

1021
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: kind of just whatever. You get a little bit all

1022
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: over the place with him. I think this is the

1023
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: guy the Red Sox go for. And you look at

1024
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: their rotation, they are still missing an Ace. Yeah.

1025
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 2: I I like all that logic. I'll talk about that soon.

1026
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: I have Blake Snell going to the Orioles.

1027
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: Ooh, okay, so you're gonna have Corpen Burns go to

1028
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Yes, I think I think Blake Corbyn

1029
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: Burns going to the Orioles. Bang, there we go.

1030
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 2: So there's the flip flop right there, the musical chairs.

1031
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 2: I just think that they're gonna look at while they

1032
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: have a newly rich owner, they've still been unwilling to

1033
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 2: spend a ton of money for reasons unbeknownst to me.

1034
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: I think that they're gonna look at Blake Snell, look

1035
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 2: at Corbyn Burns and be like, in a three year

1036
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 2: World Series window, Blakesnell simply might might be a better picture.

1037
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: He might not.

1038
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 2: But we're gonna get them for half the amount of years.

1039
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: Stay flexible. Let's get Blake Snell right now. And I

1040
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 2: think that they're a team that believes in the depth

1041
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 2: that they're coaxing out of their minor legal so they're

1042
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 2: more willing to take us risk on health, where Corbyn

1043
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 2: Burns is more of a safety on health, not a risk,

1044
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: but slightly more of a risk than Blake Snell in

1045
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: any printing effectiveness where Snell, you don't know how many

1046
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 2: things are gonna get. But when he's out there, he's

1047
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 2: gonna be a fucking monster.

1048
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: Be honest, I like your take better than mine. I

1049
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: like those fits for both those guys better, especially organizationally.

1050
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: He could call James well done. I'll take I'll take

1051
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: that one right there. And number three, what do you

1052
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: get this Alex Bregman, Washington National. I think he's gonna

1053
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: be the free agent that they spend money on. They

1054
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: have a massive hole at third base right now, and

1055
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's really anybody. I know. They have

1056
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: Brady House, who I think will eventually would be a

1057
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: third baseman, but I don't know what it is. And

1058
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman's also talk about he's willing to play second base.

1059
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: I know they have Louis Garcia, who's our boy. We

1060
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: love Louis Garcia, even though he haunts the Mets. But

1061
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: Bregman has been hanging out in Washington too. I don't

1062
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: know if he saw this on Instagram this past weekend

1063
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: left hand up. He was at the Commander's game, so

1064
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: that means he is talking to the Washington Nationals.

1065
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 2: I think also that just means he loves LSU and

1066
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: he loves Jaydon Daniels.

1067
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think that's a combination.

1068
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think, but happy at the same time,

1069
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 2: I don't think he does either of them individually.

1070
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: Where was he for Joe Burrow's game? Huh? I don't

1071
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: think that.

1072
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean Joe bur Joe now high Jane Daniels

1073
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 2: right now. I just don't think Alex Bregman's a guy

1074
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 2: who's gonna willingly accept playing on a dogship baseball team.

1075
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: I just don't see that. But also he's won. I

1076
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: think he's done. Go get your money, right.

1077
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: I think he's going to get a bag, And I

1078
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: think he's going to get a bag from the New

1079
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: York Yankees. Okay, I think the Yankees are going to

1080
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: have a situation where they're going to be like, oh, Ship,

1081
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 2: we need to spend some money. Right now, we do

1082
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 2: not have a third baseman even near the major league roster.

1083
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 2: But well, I think again, you talk about breakingan shorts up.

1084
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 2: I think Jazz would be very comfortable playing either third,

1085
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 2: second or center field, because you don't have one of

1086
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 2: those either. Yeah, because I think Jazz right yeah, they judge,

1087
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 2: if judge Kee's playing center field, that Brian Casher should

1088
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: be taken out behind the barn.

1089
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: But they just they need, they need to make a splash.

1090
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 2: I think that they're not gonna make another one, so

1091
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna have to make this one.

1092
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: I can I can rationalize that. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

1093
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't got them geting want Soto, so neither.

1094
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 2: Next up we talked about before Corbyn burns again, I'm

1095
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 2: going to Red Sox.

1096
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: We have the Orioles. But yeah, I think that they're

1097
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 1: just gonna be like we want. We want like an ace.

1098
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: We want a real ace.

1099
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 2: A guy looks like a sounds like an feels like

1100
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 2: an ace. We want a guy who's gonna keep the

1101
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: ball in this really big ballpark, someone who's really good

1102
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 2: at stopping the hard contact and fly balls. That color

1103
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: is gonna be lethal and Famway Park.

1104
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: He feels like a red Sock. You got that beard.

1105
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: He looks like he could be the real next.

1106
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: Generation to lead the Red Sox their next era of prominence.

1107
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just haven't gone back to the Oriels

1108
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: because I think simply the Orioles have to keep one

1109
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: of their pictures like if they want any sort of

1110
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: chance at competing next year for the Al East. They

1111
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: lost it to the Yankees this year. I don't know

1112
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: how they did it, but they weren't good enough. They

1113
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: didn't have the pitching. And I think they have to

1114
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: keep Corden Burns. He was pretty much the only guy.

1115
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 2: In that rotation where you're like, oh, awesome, well again.

1116
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 2: Also because Grayson and Bradish both got hurt. Grayson will

1117
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: be back this year, Bratish will miss most of the year,

1118
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: now all of the year. Sadly love Kyle Bradish as

1119
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 2: my boy, but I think that they're going to try

1120
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 2: and be more flexible with the Red Sox. Will be like,

1121
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: oh my god, I forgot where the Red Sox And like.

1122
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: I said, I like your take actually better than what

1123
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: I have, So I didn't think of it. I didn't

1124
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 1: think of it. This is why we did the podcast.

1125
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: All right, then, move, I've been waiting for drum roll, please,

1126
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: Ruan Soto is a New York Bay Come on, Yeah, Okay,

1127
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna say some crazy things. I feel

1128
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: very confident that he's gonna be in New York met.

1129
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: I feel very confident and I just simply from the

1130
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: fact that I think Juan Soto is going to just

1131
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: take whoever will give him the most money, and there

1132
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: is nobody who is going to give more money than

1133
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: Steve Conan the New York Mets. And if Steve Cohen

1134
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 1: doesn't have the top offer, there might be a mutiny.

1135
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: I think Mets fans will. I think he has some

1136
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: explaining to do. I think, all of a sudden, Steve

1137
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: Cohen is not the big bad wolf that he thought

1138
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: he was. You have to give Wansta the most money.

1139
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: If he goes somewhere else and you gave the most money,

1140
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 1: it will suck, it will hurt. But I can sleep

1141
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: well at night knowing that he did not want to

1142
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: be a New York Met, and I can hate this

1143
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: guy for the rest of his career. But if you

1144
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: don't give the most money and he goes somewhere else,

1145
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden becomes a Steve Cohen in

1146
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: Mets issue, not Juan Soda. I almost think it's worse

1147
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: if you give him more money and he doesn't leave

1148
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: that wait, wait, and he doesn't leave, and he doesn't

1149
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: if he if you offer the most money and he

1150
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: takes less money to still be a Yankee. That's much worse. Well,

1151
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: that's fuck him. I don't care. I hate you. You

1152
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: didn't want to be true.

1153
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 2: But I think that I don't know what. I might

1154
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 2: just be drinking like dumb, dumb guide you U right now?

1155
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 2: Every single day I feel like it's a little bit

1156
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 2: more likely. I just I just keep getting more confident.

1157
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: I might be completely delusional. I might be so I'd

1158
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 2: be just eluding myself to a point where I can't

1159
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: even like see reality anymore. And I'm ignoring all shreads

1160
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 2: of logic. But I think Yankee fans are doing this too,

1161
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 2: for the exact same ways. But every single day, like

1162
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 2: seeing that pass and report that like Lindor has been

1163
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 2: recruiting him, like Mendoza is gonna meet with him, like

1164
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 2: be part of that meeting. Like I think seeing the

1165
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 2: triumviran of Cohen Sterns, Lindor, Mendoza. I just think that,

1166
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 2: like you, we're like there's a there's a culture there

1167
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 2: that don't think the Yankees. I think Yankees think they

1168
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 2: might have I just don't think they have it. And

1169
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: I think it helps the Mets so much that we

1170
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 2: went on this playoff run this year. Yes, huge, because

1171
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 2: now you're showing one. So though, like, if you're on

1172
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 2: this team and we have all this stuff together, we

1173
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 2: were gonna win.

1174
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: We are going to win.

1175
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 2: You were just on the team with the Yankees and

1176
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 2: you did not win, and you didn't even get that close.

1177
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 2: Didn't even feel like it was that possible. They won

1178
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 2: the Al Central. My uncle tried to tell me out

1179
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 2: over the over the weekend that you know, the Yankees,

1180
00:44:58,400 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 2: they're one pitch away for winning that series.

1181
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: Ah.

1182
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 2: He said, He's never seen a closer five game series.

1183
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 2: That was like you, the Yankees, the Guardians, the Dodgers,

1184
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 2: you guys are all like one step away from each other, right,

1185
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 2: He was like, Oh, I wouldn't go that far.

1186
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: We were.

1187
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 2: There was not a moment in time I thought we

1188
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 2: were gonna lose that serious to the Guardians. I was like,

1189
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 2: do you think there was a time of the Dodgers

1190
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 2: to lose that serious?

1191
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: To you? The best closer in baseball play two games.

1192
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Yeah. Crazy. But I'm gonna also

1193
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: bring up a couple d I'm gonna bring up a

1194
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 1: couple bullshit things, but I'm using them as my copium

1195
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 1: that one, so is gonna be a Met. I remember

1196
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 1: a friend of the podcast, photographer Chris Simon uh took

1197
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: a picture of him that Wan Soto ended up posting

1198
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: on his Instagram when he was Washington National with his

1199
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: back looking at the Apple and center field at City Field,

1200
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: and it had something along the lines of basically like

1201
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: New York Fields like home, like I love this stadium,

1202
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, okay, Wan Soto. Second thing

1203
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: when he went to the MLB store and shot a

1204
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: video or a TikTok with them and he went around

1205
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: buying jerseys. The first jersey he grabs is at New

1206
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: York Mets jersey. All I'm saying, all I'm saying, sometimes

1207
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: you gotta read the tea leaves, and I think the

1208
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: leaves are telling me that, uh, he's gonna be a

1209
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: New York Met again.

1210
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 2: Like again, I might be really stupid, and it just

1211
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 2: feels like it.

1212
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: And you know how, like Okay, there's there's the narrative

1213
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: of Wan Soto's gonna use the Mets to get the

1214
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: offer up on the Yankees, right, He's gonna use the

1215
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: Mets deal for the Yankees to have to give him

1216
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: more money. I think that there's a world where he's

1217
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: gonna be where he went to the Yankees. You saw me,

1218
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: I was miles away, you could touch it. You can

1219
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: come out on a Wednesday night and you can see

1220
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: me hit home runs for the New York Yankees. You're

1221
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: gonna give me so much fucking money because you have to,

1222
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 1: because I was right here and you can't let me

1223
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: out of your grasp. And there's also I get I

1224
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: think this is also stupid.

1225
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if I even believe this, but now

1226
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 2: I'm just taking all these things, like you just went

1227
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 2: to this playoff run. The guy who's supposed to be

1228
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: the batman to your Robin dis Bold crumbled. Where you

1229
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 2: look across town and Francis g. Lindoor is hitting game

1230
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 2: winning home runs. Yeah, it's smacking the ball around. Mark

1231
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 2: Fiantos is emerging. Like just there's a world right now

1232
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 2: where if you take one so the wolf of both

1233
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 2: of these rosters. I I mean, Mets have so many

1234
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 2: pitching free agents. The Garrick Cole fact there is legitimate,

1235
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 2: But do you just take the position players. I definitely

1236
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 2: take the Mets guys over the Yankees.

1237
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I think the Mets future with

1238
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: or without Wan Soda looks brighter than the Yankees right

1239
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: now without if they if neither have one, So yes,

1240
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: if neither have one soda, I think the Mets future

1241
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: looks brighter than the Yankees. And they'll have more money. Yeah,

1242
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: And I think there's just there's a lot.

1243
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: There's a lot of really good reasons.

1244
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: Uncle Steve just open up the check book handed to him,

1245
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: say write a number, put it on beat. What do

1246
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: you want to get beat? Anything? Anything?

1247
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 2: Anything, anything anything. He's the most important free agent maybe

1248
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 2: in Mets history ever ever, besides show time. It wasn't

1249
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: even a real free agent most free agent times journing

1250
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 2: free agent ever.

1251
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: Yes, that doesn't also pitch. That's it. That's our free

00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 1: agent predictions. You can less know in the comment section
