Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Waken Jake. We're gonna post game
Speaker 1: Winter Meetings. See what we missed? I mean on Waken Jake,
Speaker 1: we haven't talked since Kyle Tucker is now a cub.
Speaker 1: I need to think about that a little more. Devin
Speaker 1: Williams is a New York Yankee. I've thought about that
Speaker 1: a lot. The other odds and ends that kind of
Speaker 1: didn't get closed at Winter Meetings, like Alex Bregman seemed
Speaker 1: like he was gonna sign Christian Walker. Those felt like
Speaker 1: they were in the Winter Meetings timeline, and now they're
Speaker 1: in the post Winter meetings Abyss. Are you trying to
Speaker 1: get a deal done before Christmas? Are thing's gonna start
Speaker 1: to leak? I mean the number Corbyn Burns has to
Speaker 1: want should be above Max Freed and who's gonna get there?
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about all of that, what remains, what's
Speaker 1: coming next. I just having a good Monday over here.
Speaker 1: When I say good Monday, I mean that in the
Speaker 1: bad way. We had tech Monster going on. Went out
Speaker 1: for lunch and it was like lightly raining, It's like
Speaker 1: I'll be fine, and then it really started raining and
Speaker 1: that wasn't as fine. Ordered my lunch from the wrong location.
Speaker 1: That was a tough break. Yeah. Yeah, so we're in it.
Speaker 1: But we're here watch a lot of football too, So
Speaker 1: we'll wrap up with that. But let's get into ball talk.
Speaker 1: We'll call it coming out of the Winter meetings. They
Speaker 1: I think it was a standard winter meetings, like the
Speaker 1: signings and trades began. We had some good movement.
Speaker 2: Felt a little extra juice because last year was famously
Speaker 2: a wow nothing happened Winter meetings.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I guess I didn't appreciate that because I was
Speaker 1: I was down in Mexico and we got the won
Speaker 1: Soto news, so that's all I wanted, selfish And now
Speaker 1: he's dead to me. Okay, Kyle Tucker is the best
Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs since fill in the blank Hovey Bias had
Speaker 1: back to back six war seasons in eighteen nineteen, I believe.
Speaker 1: But otherwise you're looking at Brizzo in like their best season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess Bryant's MVP year.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna beat that one Kyle Tucker there, But yeah,
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker comes in gives the Cubs a lot of
Speaker 1: outfield ian happ gold Glover friend texted him over the
Speaker 1: weekend because he played a golf course I want to play.
Speaker 1: He said it was hard. There was a lot of wind.
Speaker 1: Kind of the end of the convo, it was a
Speaker 1: choppy one. I was hoping it was going to be
Speaker 1: a little looser. We'll work on it. It's the off season,
Speaker 1: you know, holiday grind. Everyone's out of rhythm, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: So maybe I'm going to follow back up on that today.
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger, will he be there? Say this is zoop?
Speaker 1: He was rumored to be in trade talks. He survives.
Speaker 1: Our guy, Pete Crow Armstrong is still on that team.
Speaker 1: So the Cubs have a lot of outfield depth that
Speaker 1: we will see what their next move is. The rumor
Speaker 1: is they want to dump Belly somewhere. New York Yankees
Speaker 1: may be interested. We'll see who else would be interested.
Speaker 1: Right now, their lineup lists out as hap good, Kyle
Speaker 1: Tucker very good, Saya Suzuki sure his numbers ended up
Speaker 1: in a really good place last year for eighty two
Speaker 1: slug three, sixty two on base, twenty one homers, sixteen steals.
Speaker 1: Everyone does a little bit of something on these Cubbies.
Speaker 1: You slide Dansby down the lineup, Michael Bush coming off
Speaker 1: his twenty one homer campaign and then Nico Horner is
Speaker 1: still involved in the team and we'll see is he
Speaker 1: gonna survive this offseason. People thought Matt Shaw was going
Speaker 1: to take over his spot. Currently they have Matt Shaw
Speaker 1: listed as the cubs starting third basement. So the Cubs
Speaker 1: have outfield depth. They'll need to turn that into some
Speaker 1: some more infield their rotation. And they signed Carson Kelly,
Speaker 1: so okay, there's eighty one games showed him in Auga, Steele,
Speaker 1: James and Tyne, Matthew Boyd and Javier Assade, so they
Speaker 1: can have work to do on the pitching staff if
Speaker 1: they roll in with that pitching, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: They had to move one of their depth pieces to
Speaker 1: go get Kyle Tucker along with trading the other prospect,
Speaker 1: Camp Smith. Trev was in on Camp Smith kind of randomly.
Speaker 1: Sure played like very few minor league games, but why
Speaker 1: not Hayden Wesneski form Yankee farmhand. He was the depth
Speaker 1: I was talking about. He had good at ERA and
Speaker 1: limited action last year, and trading a picture to Houston
Speaker 1: still has a scary.
Speaker 2: On Houston's end. I think they're very excited to get
Speaker 2: Wesnavsky is essentially a throw in in the trade.
Speaker 1: I think that slider slides and then Estak pretis who
Speaker 1: they traded for from the the Rays. Esack broke out
Speaker 1: with them after kind of being a bust with the Tigers.
Speaker 1: Estock turns on the ball one of the funnier spray
Speaker 1: charts you'll look at if you go check out baseball.
Speaker 1: Savant should play well with the Crawford boxes and we'll
Speaker 1: see what they do. Uh. Could they keep him at third?
Speaker 1: Could they move him at first, bring back Bregman trade
Speaker 1: or add someone else. Houston's just joining the party. They
Speaker 1: currently have lost Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman coming off
Speaker 1: an eighty eight win season like Houston's Houston, and they
Speaker 1: still won the West last year, and they deserve an
Speaker 1: extra level of respect. But Houston needs to go to work,
Speaker 1: and I do expect them to go to work because
Speaker 1: their outfield is empty right now. No offense to Chas McCormick,
Speaker 1: Jake Myers, and I think they were listing our guy,
Speaker 1: Taylor Tremmel.
Speaker 2: I was just about to say, uh, seems like at
Speaker 2: least one infield or one outfielder coming in.
Speaker 1: Maurcio Mauricio Dubon still on the team and will play
Speaker 1: a lot and make great plays. But yeah, they're they're
Speaker 1: very interesting because they can go a lot of ways
Speaker 1: with this Still, I kind of like Santan Dare for Houston,
Speaker 1: kind of short down both lines. You can hide them
Speaker 1: in left field if you need to, like Bregman could
Speaker 1: come back the Astros. They have pitching right now, their
Speaker 1: rotations listed as Framber, Hunter Brown, Reno Blanco spend at
Speaker 1: the Luis Garcia and then, like I said, yeah, they
Speaker 1: got Weiznsky in the trade. At some point LANCEM Colors
Speaker 1: Junior expect him to be playing baseball again. I don't
Speaker 1: know when that is. And they still have hater A
Speaker 1: Brady Presley on the back end with Taylor Scott who
Speaker 1: broke out last year. Let's see, let's see because there
Speaker 1: was there was some Framber trade rumors. Does Houston operate differently,
Speaker 1: they don't give out long contracts. Let's see how the
Speaker 1: rest of their offseason goes. I would say, let's see
Speaker 1: where the rest of the pieces fall before we see
Speaker 1: what happens with them. But they have a lot of opportunity.
Speaker 1: They can go lefty or righty with it. They've got options.
Speaker 1: Whatever falls to them, they can go with the Cubbies.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of the same, but the talent
Speaker 1: took a leap with Kyle Tucker. Like, it's kind of
Speaker 1: my theory with bullpens, when you add a good guy
Speaker 1: in the ninth or eighth inning, it takes a little
Speaker 1: bit of pressure off everyone, and your guy pitching in
Speaker 1: the eighth inning is pitching in the seventh and it
Speaker 1: just the ripple effect you can feel. And I think
Speaker 1: in this line up, Kyle Tuk will be expected to
Speaker 1: be the man. He had the second what would have
Speaker 1: been the second most homers on the Cubs last year,
Speaker 1: but he did that in three hundred and thirty nine
Speaker 1: plate appearances. Happer six fifty seven plate appearances for those
Speaker 1: twenty five home runs, that's nice. No qualms, Gold Glove
Speaker 1: check on it.
Speaker 2: That outfield defense is gonna be crazy.
Speaker 1: I sent him, I don't know, it was clunky yesterday.
Speaker 1: Let's see, we'll text, all right, you know what, I'll
Speaker 1: reveal it. I'll reveal the people. I texted him Friday night,
Speaker 1: a little later than I should have, but I wanted
Speaker 1: to inquire about the golf. And it was like, honest, story,
Speaker 1: so I went for it. I started off the convo
Speaker 1: with Kyle Tucker. Period nice, he said, very good for
Speaker 1: the Cupies. I said, I want to know how the
Speaker 1: golf was. But I also didn't I said, I also
Speaker 1: realized it's getting late. The next morning he texted me, Dude,
Speaker 1: that place a special. I said, another course record for you.
Speaker 1: He said, I wish that wind is tough. So I
Speaker 1: didn't respond to that. So do I? I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I don't know. I'm just gonna leave it interested
Speaker 1: to see what feels like a pivotal off season for
Speaker 1: the Cubbies. What more do they have in the tank?
Speaker 1: Can it all come via trade? Like if they do
Speaker 1: the Bellinger trade right, if they get Nico Horner involved
Speaker 1: in it, it feels like they can get to a
Speaker 1: strong place. I really would love if they got another
Speaker 1: starting pitcher you could look at and even of the
Speaker 1: native all deal who he signed back with the Texas
Speaker 1: Rangers twenty five MILLI year for three years. Keep twirling
Speaker 1: in Nate, but someone else you could look at him,
Speaker 1: be like, do I big game postseason start? Do I
Speaker 1: want that? Like? No shots fired at jameson tyone our
Speaker 1: friend and he's in the gaming world now. I think
Speaker 1: we had him streaming over the weekend. Look where Jamo's
Speaker 1: numbers landed last year. Three two seven.
Speaker 2: Okay about sixty five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not a ton of strikeouts, not a lot of punches,
Speaker 1: But I Jamo throw some funk up there. I really
Speaker 1: enjoyed him as a Yankee more than his stats would
Speaker 1: tell you. Uh. If they could bring in one more
Speaker 1: high leverage starter trading out of their their depth, I
Speaker 1: would really like that for the Cubbies. And I don't know.
Speaker 1: The NL Central continues to be an exercise because the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: we were told by Katie we were doing nothing. If
Speaker 1: maybe unloading pirates we're looking for hitting their rumor to
Speaker 1: be listening on Jared Jones, I don't. I don't know,
Speaker 1: pirates do something. The Brewers are just the class. Even
Speaker 1: while they're trading people away and they lose Williadomas and
Speaker 1: free agency, they train away Devin Williams, they continue to
Speaker 1: find a way to persevere that these these cubs, if
Speaker 1: they make the next trade properly, it should be go
Speaker 1: time for the Cubs. And I'll I'll believe it if
Speaker 1: I like the pieces back because Kyle Tucker. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of different ways you can chop up his stats,
Speaker 1: but I I think he's got the fifth most war
Speaker 1: of outfielders since he's gotten run and it's like Judge
Speaker 1: MOOKI I think Jordan counted. So Kyle Tucker is an
Speaker 1: absolute stud. If you're listening to this program, you already
Speaker 1: know that, and you just subscribe to the channel. Thank
Speaker 1: you that this was a big move for the Cubs.
Speaker 1: I've called them out about not putting the chips on
Speaker 1: the table. Kyle Tucker for one year. Let's see if
Speaker 1: the Cubs will run out the wallet after that. But
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker for one year an impact piece in the
Speaker 1: NL Central.
Speaker 2: I mean we I think coming into this offseason for
Speaker 2: the Cubs would have said, like, hey, there's no specific
Speaker 2: spot that this has to come from, but they kind
Speaker 2: of need a new best player. And I don't think
Speaker 2: it's unfair. So Kyle Tucker is that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean defensively, offensively, and yeah, it gives
Speaker 1: them just a little bit more threat and identity that
Speaker 1: I think those Cubs were missing. So let's see the
Speaker 1: next move on both sides of those I think both
Speaker 1: those sides are going to get the hype train going
Speaker 1: the rest of this offseason. The other big one that
Speaker 1: happened while you were sleeping was Devin Williams to the Yankees. Sure,
Speaker 1: the Yankees get their closer and Devin Williams another one
Speaker 1: year deal. We did have to send out a couple
Speaker 1: of sweet princes. Nestor Cortes, who won over Yankee fans.
Speaker 1: Hearts in a unique way with his pitching style, his
Speaker 1: general look and demeanor kind of as fun as it
Speaker 1: gets on a baseball field, so that'll be missed. But
Speaker 1: he was kind of up and down this year the
Speaker 1: season stats landed in a very solid spot, and that's
Speaker 1: kind of what this trade turned into. The Milwaukee Brewers
Speaker 1: ran out of starting pitchers last year, they add Nestor,
Speaker 1: Devin Williams goes out. The money's similar. I think they
Speaker 1: even get some money in the deal. And the Brewers
Speaker 1: have a plan for one sixty two. It's we're gonna
Speaker 1: play a ton of defense and we're gonna pitch a lot,
Speaker 1: and our bullpen is going to be nasty with or
Speaker 1: without Devin Williams, and it will be because they've figured
Speaker 1: that part out and it's a huge advantage for them.
Speaker 1: So to be paying Devin Williams on the back end,
Speaker 1: knowing you're probably gonna lose him as a free agent.
Speaker 1: Devin Williams missed it uncle Las year. He only threw
Speaker 1: twenty one point two innings. That they have the other
Speaker 1: McGill brother over there save twenty one games for them,
Speaker 1: and they will fill out that bullpen like they do
Speaker 1: every year. Their rotation, I mean, you have to have
Speaker 1: a little bit of beer goggles on. It's like a
Speaker 1: it's a hot beer goggles rotation, like Freddy Peralta. You're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that. Brandon Woodruff. Bounce him back, Let's see
Speaker 1: what he looks like. But you know, Brandon Woodruff had
Speaker 1: his peak. He was he was killing it. Aaron Savale
Speaker 1: they traded for him at the deadline. He pitched really,
Speaker 1: really well for them. Tobias Myers was their breakout guy
Speaker 1: last year, twenty five starts a three flat era and
Speaker 1: Nesser Cortez one hundred and seventy four innings a three
Speaker 1: seven seven. So it's five guys who have all done
Speaker 1: it at a high level at different points in the
Speaker 1: major league season. I don't predict all five of them
Speaker 1: doing it, but you could say that three are and
Speaker 1: again that would be a big step up for Milwaukee
Speaker 1: where their rotation landed by the end of last season.
Speaker 1: And so not only that is Devin Williams for Nestor
Speaker 1: Cortes on paper warwise and how the innings were will
Speaker 1: sort out. It's a discussion. I mean, you'd want Devin Williams.
Speaker 1: He's has an argument to be one of the best
Speaker 1: closers in the game. For Nestor, who you're on his
Speaker 1: good season, he's gonna be a.
Speaker 2: Three on a very competitive team.
Speaker 1: Yes, on a good team. Yeah, on a playoffs start
Speaker 1: on a good team. When he's at his best, Nestor's
Speaker 1: a dog, you know, and almost I don't want to
Speaker 1: say worst case, but as like a five starter even
Speaker 1: swing if you need to. And I think the other
Speaker 1: thing that's interesting for Nestor, he's going from one of
Speaker 1: the worst defensive teams in the league to one of
Speaker 1: the best defensive teams in the league. So uh, that
Speaker 1: should help out Nester. Don't be surprised if he becomes
Speaker 1: a fan favorite in Milwaukee. That yeah, the beer goggles
Speaker 1: on that rotation. Okay, Milwaukee, and then they get prospect
Speaker 1: Caleb Durban, who would become a fun joke and talking
Speaker 1: Yanks land listed five to six. But he's supposedly everything Brewers.
Speaker 1: He plays great defense at multiple positions. The rumor is
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a shot at third, the third base position,
Speaker 1: even though he plays pretty much every in field outfield
Speaker 1: like every Brewers player. He steals bases like every Brewers player,
Speaker 1: and he has great swing discipline like every Brewers player.
Speaker 1: So he's gonna fit in perfectly there. And Yankees fans,
Speaker 1: whether it's fair or not, a prospect like Caleb Durban,
Speaker 1: Yankee fans don't believe in them panning that guy out,
Speaker 1: and it's it's a pretty simple mix, like he's not
Speaker 1: gonna get the opportunity or the that probably a young
Speaker 1: player needs to be successful. Like Bryce Terrang with the
Speaker 1: Brewers is a fantastic example. Bryce Terrang's first season was
Speaker 1: atrocious and like, the Yankees, don't let that happen. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's get some of the numbers because the people like that.
Speaker 1: Bryce Terrang one hundred and thirty seven games his rookie
Speaker 1: year too eighteen batting average, a two to eighty five
Speaker 1: on base a three hundred slug five eighty five ops.
Speaker 1: This is over four hundred at bats like they let
Speaker 1: Bryce Terrang out there, and Bryce Terrang took his lumps
Speaker 1: the next year. It does suck for Bryce that the
Speaker 1: numbers came back down earth, but he had almost a
Speaker 1: five war season because his speed in defense is that valuable.
Speaker 1: Fifty stolen bases from Bryce Terrang in eighty five ops
Speaker 1: plus and he won the Gold Glove. So that's that's
Speaker 1: what the Brewers can do that the Yankees don't allow
Speaker 1: themselves to do. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Probably bad that Caleb Durbin has a much better chance
Speaker 1: of success with the Milwaukee Brewers than he did the
Speaker 1: New York Yankees. And again, maybe that's the Yankees' philosophical problem.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's one of the slight curses of the Yankees
Speaker 1: being able to sign whatever free agents they want and
Speaker 1: constantly putting a contender out there. But that's why it
Speaker 1: was a win for Milwaukee. They get their starting pitching
Speaker 1: innings next year, they don't have to pay nineteen mil
Speaker 1: for a guy in the free agent pool. They get
Speaker 1: a prospect that could play for them for the next
Speaker 1: half decade, and the Yankees. The Yankees get a closer
Speaker 1: Captain America, he was Team USA, is closer. He'll slot
Speaker 1: in assumed he'll slot in behind Luke Weaver because Luke
Speaker 1: Weaver was a great breakout player for the Yankees last year,
Speaker 1: but he can't pitch multiple innings. The Yankes have had
Speaker 1: that guy in their bullpen now the past couple of
Speaker 1: years between Jonathan Lewisega who just resigned with the Yankees,
Speaker 1: Chad Green, Michael King, who he now sees the number
Speaker 1: two for your San Diego padres that I think the
Speaker 1: Yankees value having that multi inning swing guy. So if
Speaker 1: the bullpen, if the rest of the guys in the
Speaker 1: bullpen are down, if you can get two out of
Speaker 1: that guy or two point one and reset the whole pen,
Speaker 1: that's huge. But man, if Luke Weaver looks like he
Speaker 1: did last year, which there were clear changes starter going
Speaker 1: to the bullpen, he changed his motion, it felt like
Speaker 1: he You haven't seen a lot of guys want the
Speaker 1: role more than Luke Weaver. Him and Devin Williams. Seven
Speaker 1: eight nine is as lockdown as the Yankees have had
Speaker 1: in a while, because even when it was Chapman with
Speaker 1: more of his powers and Zach Britton there was something
Speaker 1: Chapman was wild and Britain was contact that it was
Speaker 1: like it almost fell out of your out of your hands.
Speaker 1: Most of the time. This will work, this is this
Speaker 1: is gonna be good. These guys are like I wanna say,
Speaker 1: legendary Chapman. Is Britain has a season? Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: was like, okay, Zach Britain, there's gonna be two balls
Speaker 1: in play these first two hitters. If they get through,
Speaker 1: we're in trouble. If not, we're fine. And Chapman it
Speaker 1: was just when when are the strikes gonna come? Uh
Speaker 1: that Devin Williams and Luke Weaver should have the ability
Speaker 1: to shorten the games. The Yankees trade from their pitching
Speaker 1: depth with Nestor Uh to lock up and we'll see
Speaker 1: if they add anything in the bullpen. But the Yanks
Speaker 1: are gonna pitch Garrett Cole, Max Freed, Rodan, Luis Heel
Speaker 1: and then you still got a Stroman or Schmidt there. Man,
Speaker 1: if Jonathan Lewisaca can come back and look good, and
Speaker 1: I'm I'm nervous. I've been hurt by Johnny Laza one
Speaker 1: too many times. I had him and the Michael King. Wait,
Speaker 1: this guy throws three pitches. Let's let's bring him back
Speaker 1: to being a starter. But the injury history is just
Speaker 1: pretty intense at this point.
Speaker 2: Big injury history, but his nasties as good as anybody's,
Speaker 2: and I think there were teams interested in trying him
Speaker 2: out like that. I think a lot of them would
Speaker 2: have settled on the injuries, probably sticking the panel, but
Speaker 2: that doesn't stop some of these teams. So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out what makes a team like
Speaker 2: certain guys for move back to the rotation because like
Speaker 2: Clay doesn't fit that description, but the Mets are plenty
Speaker 2: to do that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: The Clay stuff is interesting and I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know how much we got of that on this program yet,
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I mean it's tough because he has
Speaker 1: a go to pitch. He is a sinker that he
Speaker 1: throws fifty percent of the time. That's a pitch that
Speaker 1: gets put in play and pitch they can get a
Speaker 1: lot of outs. But Clay's secondary stuff always felt like
Speaker 1: just filler for the sinker. He threw a sweeper and
Speaker 1: a slider, so you know, there's some very pitch variety there,
Speaker 1: but nothing going away. From the left. He's outside of
Speaker 1: the sinker. So I'm super interested to see what the
Speaker 1: Mets do. And like you said, the contract at three
Speaker 1: for twenty eight, like, that's less than Jordan Hickscott. So
Speaker 1: if he just ends up being a reliever of the
Speaker 1: setup guy for Edwin Diaz, that's still an okay number.
Speaker 1: Like what's Tanner Scott about to get? And I can't
Speaker 1: I can't guarantee you Tanner Scott will be better than Clay.
Speaker 1: I know he's showing the strikeout stuff and he's left handed,
Speaker 1: but I mean, Clay's had a decent a good track
Speaker 1: record the past couple of years. And part of our
Speaker 1: biggest complain about Clay, besides them not taking him out
Speaker 1: of the closer spot, was that the defense the Yankees
Speaker 1: had didn't help Clay, and we saw that magnified on
Speaker 1: the biggest stage that all parties should have been slightly offended,
Speaker 1: and I think they now are. So those were the
Speaker 1: two biggies since we last spoke. Yankees still need a
Speaker 1: lot of work to do in the lineup, probably one
Speaker 1: free agent, one trade, maybe in one more other whether
Speaker 1: whatever that means to you or them. Who's on the
Speaker 1: other side of Milwaukee.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, it all screams Brewers move.
Speaker 1: They'll sign someone and we'll shrug. Or they'll they'll trade
Speaker 1: Reese Hoskins to Houston and then they'll sign Christian Walker
Speaker 1: and he'll be amazing. It's they get to do a line.
Speaker 2: Trust. Yeah, they mine trust.
Speaker 1: And they deserve it. Uh So for the rest of
Speaker 1: these upcoming moves outside out of winter meeting, I'm interested
Speaker 1: to see how they trickle in. We still have game
Speaker 1: changing free agents out there. Corn Burns the number one pitcher,
Speaker 1: believed number one pitcher on the market, whether it's Baltimore,
Speaker 1: whether it's the Mets trying to send a message, whether
Speaker 1: it's you know, I think the Texas Rangers had a
Speaker 1: crazy number out there for Max Freed. Washington Nationals looking
Speaker 1: to make their splash and get in the mix. We
Speaker 1: will see there will be a Corbyn Burns market. I
Speaker 1: don't see it getting into the ugly is free agent
Speaker 1: or is spring training sneaking up on us? I hope
Speaker 1: not for Corbin Burns because there's no need for that
Speaker 1: with his resume. I know there's some numbers about his
Speaker 1: strikeout rate has gone down, and a couple other numbers
Speaker 1: but a team's gonna go get him. Alex Pregman. Surprise,
Speaker 1: he's still a free agent. The Willia Damas numb seven.
Speaker 1: These are two guys that were supposed to have similar
Speaker 1: free agencies. Fangrafts projected him to get two million more
Speaker 1: per year. I was a little thrown off by that,
Speaker 1: just because I thought Willy Willy, being younger and the
Speaker 1: ability to play shortstop, I thought that was going to
Speaker 1: allow him to cash in a little more, and he
Speaker 1: did with the San Francisco Giants. I guess for Bregman,
Speaker 1: it seemed like there was a perfect storm. It seemed
Speaker 1: like we were about to get the tweet at winter
Speaker 1: meetings like Heymn Morosi, all these guys, the Yankees are interested,
Speaker 1: the Red Sox are interested. Houston had the offer out
Speaker 1: there like originally Bregman was supposed to be the Mets guy.
Speaker 1: Bregman was going to be like the part of the
Speaker 1: change in Queens. Bregman is still out there. Uh. And
Speaker 1: all those teams I mentioned are the teams you want
Speaker 1: interested in you. So let's see the next steps there.
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo, same same but different. But we the rumors
Speaker 1: haven't gotten there yet. It seemed like there's three or
Speaker 1: four teams out there that have Pete Alonzo as their
Speaker 1: plan C and they haven't gotten there yet. Again Washington Nationals,
Speaker 1: who we don't know if they're going to get in
Speaker 1: the mix, but look at that lineup. They're missing a
Speaker 1: little bit of pop and their young guys are ready
Speaker 1: to go or do you like the Mets like, are
Speaker 1: we just overthinking it? And the Mets are like, hey,
Speaker 1: we got Soto, like bring back Pete and let's break.
Speaker 2: I was sort of surprised. I was, uh listening to
Speaker 2: John John Hayman and Joel Sherman, and they both agreed emphatically.
Speaker 2: They're like, well, signing Soda makes it much more likely
Speaker 2: they keep Pete. I was like, all right, I believe
Speaker 2: that I had been thinking is a situation of like
Speaker 2: you know, Yankee Houston. There's a few of those teams
Speaker 2: out there that are like, if his market comes down
Speaker 2: and he's ends up in a spot where he's taking
Speaker 2: like the belly structure of a deal, if he's willing
Speaker 2: to do that, Mets probably just give him that same
Speaker 2: deal and he would go back. Oh that's where I
Speaker 2: keep landing on it. But who knows how negotiations go
Speaker 2: and feelings happen and.
Speaker 1: All of that. Yeah, and I guess I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: bail from the peat boat yet. I think some team
Speaker 1: is gonna pay for those homers because every team wants
Speaker 1: to hit homers, and Pete hits homers. That's when he does.
Speaker 1: He'll give you those homes. He hits homers. Ta Oscar
Speaker 1: is still out there. I'm starting to in my head
Speaker 1: that felt like easy La wondering where his market is at.
Speaker 1: Because again, a couple of those teams that have keep
Speaker 1: coming up Houston Boston, especially with those short left fields
Speaker 1: like Taskar doesn't have the most range arms pretty good
Speaker 1: that those would be nice. Those are nice hitting environments
Speaker 1: for ta Oscar and limiting his defensive I want to
Speaker 1: say lie ability, but it's not a strength in Houston
Speaker 1: and Boston. Boston really needs a right handed hitter, and
Speaker 1: that's what this guy does. Houston has a couple of
Speaker 1: ways they can go in the outfield that he is
Speaker 1: going to have a big market. I believe Santander is too.
Speaker 1: I think the switch hitting is so underrated. He hit
Speaker 1: so many home runs last year and I don't think
Speaker 1: I think people are scared of the on base percentage
Speaker 1: that it's probably not going to be a longer contract
Speaker 1: that why wouldn't you, you know, if he's going to
Speaker 1: land at those if it's four years, he's probably not
Speaker 1: getting one hundred million. Juan Soto got eight hundred. Obviously,
Speaker 1: different players, whole different story, but Santander can still change
Speaker 1: a lineup back into the pitching Manaia Flaherty both have
Speaker 1: a lot of upside. Manyah breaking out in his age
Speaker 1: thirty two seeds and Jack Flaherty bouncing back his age
Speaker 1: twenty eight season. Expect both of those guys. I think
Speaker 1: the Mania market is hot. I want to be surprised
Speaker 1: if he's one of the next free agents to go down.
Speaker 1: Seems like every team has a spot for Sean Andya.
Speaker 1: And then the other one that I can't believe hasn't
Speaker 1: happened yet is Christian Walker. That was another one the
Speaker 1: winter meeting smoked seemed very clearly there.
Speaker 2: It got very hot in the streets for that one night.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know if that's rumor mill I
Speaker 1: wonder if are teams starting to get cold feet about
Speaker 1: the age, because I've been having cold feet about the age,
Speaker 1: like does Alonso have to happen first? Like it was
Speaker 1: kind of a great debate, Like Christian Walker, everyone was
Speaker 1: kind of conceding he was the plan a at first base,
Speaker 1: which offensively and defensively for one year. I think people agree,
Speaker 1: But like I, I wonder didn't these contracts skew his market?
Speaker 1: Is he looking for a fourth year because I'm I'm
Speaker 1: scared to give the guy three And I know that's rude,
Speaker 1: but it's just being honest. I've seen too many guys
Speaker 1: fall off.
Speaker 2: And like seeing you know, everywhere you look that does
Speaker 2: any sort of contract projection, every single one of them
Speaker 2: has three in the sixty to sixty six ish range.
Speaker 2: And usually when everywhere agrees that it's three, whichever team
Speaker 2: gets goes to fourst who gets them? So I have
Speaker 2: no idea where that's going to land. I'm guessing when
Speaker 2: the market got hot on him for a night, I
Speaker 2: think other teams are like, oh, you're ready to negotiate,
Speaker 2: and hop back in the mix. And then they created
Speaker 2: a little bitting more and some more teams dropped and
Speaker 2: some jump back in excited to hear whenever it does
Speaker 2: happen for him.
Speaker 1: But Paul Goldschmidt an emergency option. Forever loses out on
Speaker 1: Walker and Pete. I got Glavers out there. There's then
Speaker 1: the depth pitching of these guys are all gonna get
Speaker 1: paid paid Paveta, Walker, Buehler. I think the market is
Speaker 1: out there. We'll see if Charlie Morton does whatever he
Speaker 1: wants to do. Has On Kim. I can't tell if
Speaker 1: a smart team or a dumb team is gonna sign
Speaker 1: Jerkson profar. I have no clue. You could talk yourself
Speaker 1: into both sides, like did a breakout happen at age thirty?
Speaker 1: Because across the board, his numbers look good, his savant
Speaker 1: looks good. The defense leaves you lacking a little bit. Again,
Speaker 1: a lot of the same teams I've been matching, Boston
Speaker 1: and Houston. I think those are two teams to keep
Speaker 1: an eye on the rest of the way. One of
Speaker 1: the Braves, they signed Brian de la Cruz. We don't
Speaker 1: know the number on it yet. He currently slots in
Speaker 1: to be there right fielder, which I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know what that does for the Braves. Maybe they've
Speaker 1: got something to tap into, but I want to I mean,
Speaker 1: they just lost Max Fred like the Braves are going
Speaker 1: to be back next year. Ronald Lacuna Strider maybe later
Speaker 1: in the year, like the the Braves can't be done.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Philly's been awfully quiet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's been very little there.
Speaker 1: They signed Jordan Romano, who you know, we've seen him
Speaker 1: be an impact reliever. I think between him, Strom, Kirker
Speaker 1: and Alvarado, that would be your If he's healthy and
Speaker 1: looks like himself, that would be their closer. So that
Speaker 1: could be significant. But again, this was supposed to be
Speaker 1: a potential Outbaum Tray. This is potential Alec Bregman signing spot.
Speaker 1: Luis Robert has been rumored there for two years now.
Speaker 1: That are the fighting Phil's need to get in the
Speaker 1: mix of all this. Nobody knows what the Padre is doing.
Speaker 1: Supposedly Dylan Cease would be available. I guess that's what
Speaker 1: I'm interested to find out. We talked ourselves into an
Speaker 1: exciting trade market Tampa, Yandi and Lowe. Will Toronto move
Speaker 1: someone like Bobaschett. Texas is up to something. They added
Speaker 1: Jake Berger for Schlitz and Giggles.
Speaker 2: Seems like they want at least one more bat In
Speaker 2: and which they could use a going out to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you look at their lineup and they can be.
Speaker 1: They're more than comfy. Their bench right now is Zeke Duran,
Speaker 1: Josh Smith and Leoti Tavares, which that's like a dream bench.
Speaker 2: The the one I heard for them is that there
Speaker 2: they'd be a good.
Speaker 1: Jock team Jacques dh and then I get.
Speaker 2: It'd be it'd be figuring out what the Nate Low
Speaker 2: trade is, Baseman, Is there a piece that's easiest to
Speaker 2: trade that you could like get the most from two
Speaker 2: years left?
Speaker 1: If the Yankees could do that one, I'd like it that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Texas is up to something. They were supposedly in on
Speaker 1: Max freed to the end. Uh so were the Red
Speaker 1: Sox before they got Crochet the last time we spoke
Speaker 1: with you, Yeah, I don't know what they've got. And
Speaker 1: then we'll Seattle actually trade one of the pictures. Well,
Speaker 1: how desperate is Minnesota to dump money? Does Kansas City
Speaker 1: have a deeper pocket than we like to think? And
Speaker 1: they can add a like Pete or Santander or someone
Speaker 1: that was that was someone their rumored to but doesn't
Speaker 1: like fit their organization. The sleeping Detroit Tigers, I think
Speaker 1: they can sleep, Alex Cobb, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And the team everyone's talking about the athletics, Seve and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Springs.
Speaker 2: They're at least adding some amount more money.
Speaker 1: Jolly likes them. It's a young prospect team. It's a
Speaker 1: video game team. If you like prospects, if you don't, they're.
Speaker 2: Nice like blank Canvas team.
Speaker 1: My snakes have been awfully quiet, e Rod Monty. Can
Speaker 1: they move off one of those? They need to replace
Speaker 1: Jack Peterson and Christian Walker. And Christian Walker.
Speaker 2: They get back in the mix for either of them.
Speaker 1: You're removed from the World Series. So interested to see
Speaker 1: the next step. I don't know if the trade market
Speaker 1: is going to continue to pick up steam like we've seen.
Speaker 1: Is it just going to be a trickle the rest
Speaker 1: of the way. We will find out together and if
Speaker 1: there's a big one to break, with you eyes, let's
Speaker 1: all do it together. Let's suck a little foosball because
Speaker 1: I watched like whole day Soup to nuts forwards and backwards,
Speaker 1: because why not. I also have an announcement to make.
Speaker 1: Went to the Yukon game Saturday night, Yukon and Zag
Speaker 1: at the Garden that place with Yukon was worth ten
Speaker 1: to fifteen points. That place was going nuts. I was
Speaker 1: making some jokes that were getting my buddies just because
Speaker 1: they I walked up to the game, or I got
Speaker 1: off the train, and this is five thirty. This is
Speaker 1: an eight pm game. You know, the fellas we're gonna
Speaker 1: have We're gonna grab one drink and then we're gonna
Speaker 1: get head in because our tickets supposedly had food, so okay,
Speaker 1: might as well do that. And we're getting old, so
Speaker 1: you get one, you get away from the crowd. I
Speaker 1: got my buddies, I said, I knew Yukon won. I
Speaker 1: got off the train. There was some dads we all
Speaker 1: have the dad image in our head, wearing those you know,
Speaker 1: those fake Nike Dad shoes and all that. They all
Speaker 1: had on their old Connecticut gear, you know, like sick
Speaker 1: swaggy jackets if you're in college that dads were wearing.
Speaker 1: And then one dad was wearing like full under armor
Speaker 1: like neck and they were just looking at buildings, like
Speaker 1: not specific New York City buildings, but just any building
Speaker 1: that was a building. And that's a sign that the
Speaker 1: good people of the state of Connecticut were out in
Speaker 1: the City and they were ready to take this game,
Speaker 1: and they did. The crowd was nuts. When anyone ever
Speaker 1: asked my favorite sporting event to go to, well, I
Speaker 1: say the HOMERWN Derby's fun, but my favorite one. I've
Speaker 1: been to Yukon, Michigan State, Madison Square Garden Elite eight
Speaker 1: game Draymon On Michigan State a Yukon wins, but I
Speaker 1: was like, it's the perfect balance. It was like it
Speaker 1: was like seventy thirty Yukon to Michigan State. So when
Speaker 1: Michigan State would go in a rally like the crowd
Speaker 1: would still pop. It was probably eighty twenty. But Gonzaga
Speaker 1: they still had enough pop to him. But they were
Speaker 1: just in the wrong place at the wrong night. I'd
Speaker 1: highly recommend even if you're not a Yukon fan, that
Speaker 1: fan base really brings it. I'm not saying I said
Speaker 1: things to Gonzaga fans. I regret. I did ask a
Speaker 1: few of them why you even bothered to come? Knew
Speaker 1: what was gonna happen here today? You know, thought about
Speaker 1: throwing out you guys are a Timu Yukon, but I
Speaker 1: just don't need that in the stands. So that was
Speaker 1: Saturday night. That was a blast. Go Huskies, they are back.
Speaker 1: You could sprinkle a little on them for the title.
Speaker 1: I haven't yet. I need to see a little more,
Speaker 1: completely different team. And they had the two best players
Speaker 1: in college basketball last year. The football weekend the Niffle
Speaker 1: if you will start off Thursday, barn Burner twelve to six.
Speaker 1: We got duped before the game. The reports were sixty
Speaker 1: chance of rain. The first half was a monsoon. Nobody
Speaker 1: could move the ball. It was a disaster. So they
Speaker 1: go in at halftime. Things clear up, but it was
Speaker 1: still a slog type of game. Twelve to six. The
Speaker 1: Rams beat the forty nine Ers. As the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers sadness continues. The Rams eight and six tied atop
Speaker 1: the division with Seattle, who lost last night. God, that's
Speaker 1: an ugly box score looking back at it. Niners man,
Speaker 1: my guy Debo, you know for the long time, and
Speaker 1: jakers A. I always thank you. But you guys know
Speaker 1: I rave about Deebo, the way he run, his style
Speaker 1: of play. He became my favorite player to watch in
Speaker 1: the NFL. There's a reason why those guys become your favorites,
Speaker 1: because not a lot of guys can do that and
Speaker 1: it's not sustainable, Deebo. Maybe he's hurt and I'd love
Speaker 1: to be wrong next year, but man, it has been
Speaker 1: a fall from grace of sorts from my guy, Deebo.
Speaker 1: I do hope he bounces back, but it's not looking good.
Speaker 1: That leads us to Sunday. Chiefs. Browns are the Chiefs
Speaker 1: gonna slip up? Or is Jamis this Jamis Judy connection?
Speaker 1: Is it real? I wasn't the Browns trump Ford try
Speaker 1: to carry them late after Chubb gets hurt again on
Speaker 1: Judy and Jamis hooked up a lot. Eleven catches one away,
Speaker 1: but Chiefs pulled ahead in this one twenty one. The
Speaker 1: seven is your final. Mahomes gets banged up late. Let's
Speaker 1: see what it is. They're saying he could miss a week.
Speaker 1: He could not. People were laughing. This is the Chiefs
Speaker 1: first non one score win. It's against Cleveland, it's in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: They still look okay, just not really losing. They'll be
Speaker 1: there come the end. Bengals Titans not really ugly one
Speaker 1: early one of my buddies in fantasy was getting ripped
Speaker 1: for starting the Bengals defense because they were getting lit
Speaker 1: up by Tennessee early and then they should have had
Speaker 1: two scores. They had one of the first dropped balls
Speaker 1: while about to score a touchdown of the day through
Speaker 1: the end zone, so instead of six, you give the
Speaker 1: ball back and Jonathan Taylor Broncos No, I mean Bengals
Speaker 1: put up a ton of points. Their defense is suss.
Speaker 1: Giving up twenty seven to Tennessee is still very bad.
Speaker 1: Chase Brown looks good, his stock going up for next year.
Speaker 1: Commanders almost blow it to the Saints. They go up
Speaker 1: seventeen to nothing in New Orleans. The Saints had sexy
Speaker 1: Jake Hayner running the show. His pictures were making the
Speaker 1: rounds on the internet. Those were tough. I think he
Speaker 1: openly admitted those are tough and he regrets them, so
Speaker 1: like good for him. But Spencer Rattler comes in and
Speaker 1: the Saints get a little bit of juice, including a
Speaker 1: free play at the end that brings them down one point.
Speaker 1: They go for two because their season doesn't matter and
Speaker 1: they they don't get it, so Washington walks away with
Speaker 1: a win. Yeah, sexy Jake Hayner, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. That's two sexy. That one is criminal. He
Speaker 1: can't have it for the YouTube go. Lee Kamara made
Speaker 1: six sick catch in this game. Washington could have run
Speaker 1: the ball. Washington just got Latimore back from the Saints,
Speaker 1: and he's supposed to kind of change their pass defense.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm I don't want to say everyone
Speaker 1: football loves fraud watch. I don't think the Commanders are
Speaker 1: fraud I just think they're a little above average and
Speaker 1: they've won a couple of close ones that have them
Speaker 1: at nine and five. But you know, they came close
Speaker 1: to losing this one. They should have lost to the Giants.
Speaker 1: Like it's it's not pretty. Jaden bounced back and looked
Speaker 1: pretty good. They'll take a win on the road in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Ravens blow out the Giants. Just no Lamar
Speaker 1: for five touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Giants fan wanting to tank spent too much of my
Speaker 2: week being nervous that they would just somehow win that game.
Speaker 2: And yeah, thank you to the Ravens for quelling that quick.
Speaker 2: Yeah the veto leaves it's have they fumbled the third
Speaker 2: play of the game. Yeah, then it was fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Cowboys Panthers. This was a fun one for sports gamblers.
Speaker 1: The Panthers favored the first time in thirty four games.
Speaker 1: Cowboys came in and they were the better team. They
Speaker 1: win thirty to fourteen. Bryce Young with a step back
Speaker 1: game after he'd been chipping away and climbing the ladder up.
Speaker 1: Cowboys six and eight. Technically not eliminated, but they are.
Speaker 1: Jets beat the Jaguars. No, it was ugly early on
Speaker 1: and I kind of told you guys this. I was like,
Speaker 1: if you need to miss the one o'clock because I
Speaker 1: mean we had Mac Jones out there slinging it everyone
Speaker 1: for the Saints, the Giants, the Titans, the Browns. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't a murderer's row for a while. The kind
Speaker 1: of fun one Texans Dolphins. Texans end up winning twenty
Speaker 1: to twelve. They improved to nine and five Miami. They
Speaker 1: just the over five hundred team, under five hundred team
Speaker 1: for them is insane and it just continues to go
Speaker 1: on and to us, sometimes he looks absolutely brilliant and
Speaker 1: other times it's shockingly bad that they are. That franchise
Speaker 1: in general is just in a weird spot of what
Speaker 1: are they gonna do? So the one PM Slate ay
Speaker 1: for being honest. Four PM A couple big ones. One
Speaker 1: that wasn't the big one Broncos Colts Battle of the Horses.
Speaker 1: The Colts are dominating, They're about to go up twenty
Speaker 1: to seven, with the Broncos offense looking ugly, and Jonathan
Speaker 1: Taylor the second one of the day scored, which should
Speaker 1: have been a touchdown, almost sealing the game. I mean
Speaker 1: not really, but close to the way the Broncos looked. Instead,
Speaker 1: the Ponies get the ball back and they just ran
Speaker 1: away with it thirty one to thirteen. Colts run a
Speaker 1: trick play pass back to Richardson that just gets inter
Speaker 1: that if you're playing backyard football, everyone would be really
Speaker 1: sad about this was in the pros. Uh. The fact
Speaker 1: that Colts lost this game thirteen to thirty one is
Speaker 1: disgusting all around. Hey, Broncos, it's the NFL. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have ugly halfs, you're gonna have ugly quarters. It was
Speaker 1: an ugly first half for them. They bounced back and
Speaker 1: they had a strong second half and they're looking like
Speaker 1: a lock for the playoffs. So Bo wasn't pretty, but
Speaker 1: they found a connection late with him and something I'm watching.
Speaker 1: I'm watching Broncos. Let's persevere the games that everyone wanted
Speaker 1: to watch. Eagles Stillers the Battle of Pennsylvania. Uh in
Speaker 1: this one, you know, people were starting to get the hey,
Speaker 1: you know, Sirianni and these Eagles are starting drama. It's
Speaker 1: kind of the opposite of the Steelers, right, like Tomlin's
Speaker 1: the man he controls everything. These are two different I mean,
Speaker 1: the Steelers are an average team with a good coach.
Speaker 1: The Eagles are like a great team with maybe a
Speaker 1: good coach. And the thing I used to yell about
Speaker 1: the Eagles was get back to rushing the ball. I
Speaker 1: think they showed in their last thirteen games they've rushed
Speaker 1: the ball more than they've passed it leading up till yesterday.
Speaker 1: There they did technically call more pass plays, but they
Speaker 1: win twenty seven to thirteen. AJ Brown and Avante Smith
Speaker 1: both with big games through the air. Jalen Hurts come
Speaker 1: to the mic. Is that what you wanted to see?
Speaker 1: The Eagles have their swag and I really don't know
Speaker 1: how you stop it because when they need a fourth
Speaker 1: down conversion, it's instant. When they need a third down conversion,
Speaker 1: it's instant. No team is built to stop them. Everyone's
Speaker 1: built to stop the pass. That Nothing's talked to me
Speaker 1: off of the Eagles, just yet the other one, Bill's Lions,
Speaker 1: highly touted Let's go golf God in the guys, Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: Bills jump out to a fourteen to nothing start and
Speaker 1: that changes the game. Like the Lions fought back late
Speaker 1: and made it kind of close for a fun Jake
Speaker 1: Bates on sidekick. But the Bills win forty eight to
Speaker 1: forty two back to back weeks with forty points for
Speaker 1: the Bills. Golf throws for four ninety four, five touchdown,
Speaker 1: zero interceptions, first quarterback with that stat line to lose
Speaker 1: a little sign of today's NFL. Amen Ra is a
Speaker 1: beast and can't be stopped. I love him. He's so fun.
Speaker 1: In the Bills. They just got this weird thing, man,
Speaker 1: where everyone's a weapon, but nobody's the weapon. Ty Johnson
Speaker 1: had five catches for one fourteen out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: Kean Coleman won catch sixty four yards. Don Kinkaid four
Speaker 1: for fifty three on his first one back. Shakir is
Speaker 1: a problem only six for thirty nine, but that guy
Speaker 1: has some shifty speed to him that I really like.
Speaker 1: James Cook, Dawson, Knox, Ray Davis that Josh Allen can
Speaker 1: just put it where he wants that. He threw for
Speaker 1: three sixty two two touchdowns. He also ran for sixty
Speaker 1: eight and two on the ground, James Cook getting seven
Speaker 1: and a half yards per rush, one hundred yards on
Speaker 1: the ground. The Bills are nicy, John Gruden, those videos,
Speaker 1: What the hell man? I get a doolo wup man?
Speaker 1: Patriots Cardinals not really Cardinals. They beat the now three
Speaker 1: and eleven Patriots. Kyler got banged up, but James Connor
Speaker 1: running the ball well and Trey McBride's good. That's that's
Speaker 1: the update there. Bucks a little bit of the yell
Speaker 1: ol same Bucky Irving one hundred and seventeen on the ground,
Speaker 1: Mike Evans one nine two touchdowns. It's unreal what he
Speaker 1: does regularly. They shut out the Chargers in the second half.
Speaker 1: The Bucks are gonna The Bucks could upset on that
Speaker 1: first playoff weekend. They are one of the more fun
Speaker 1: teams in football to watch. And speaking of if you're
Speaker 1: looking for a Super Bowl hype team to sneak in,
Speaker 1: and I mean this isn't something that's gonna surprise you,
Speaker 1: but what the Packers did last night, talk about just
Speaker 1: a bunch of options that feel the same. We're gonna
Speaker 1: punish with you. With Josh Jacobs on the ground, sure,
Speaker 1: Christian Watson and Romeo Dobbs, Okay, whichever one's open, give
Speaker 1: them a chance and they there's a good chance they'll
Speaker 1: make the play. Dobbs has two scores in this game,
Speaker 1: one insane catch, Watson had a crazy sideline kid and
Speaker 1: then Jaden revees kind of the let's do everything. You
Speaker 1: might get a screen, you might get a handoff on
Speaker 1: Tavian Wicks. I feel like you could put him in
Speaker 1: a similar boat that they are. They love their targets.
Speaker 1: Tucker Kraft has earned some fantasy love this season that
Speaker 1: the Packers are going. All their losses are to really
Speaker 1: good teams Eagles, Vikings, Lions. I could put that in
Speaker 1: a good boat, in a bad boat if I needed to.
Speaker 1: But they are good. They play a fun brand of football.
Speaker 1: Jordan Love, it's really good. It's crazy that the Packers
Speaker 1: get quarterbacks Bears. Sorry about you, but they played tonight
Speaker 1: against some Minnesota Vikings. That's at eight pm and then
Speaker 1: Falcons Raiders at eight point thirty done getting hurt by
Speaker 1: the Falcons. And I don't know if the Vikings can
Speaker 1: do anything that will make me actually believe in them.
Speaker 1: But they're another team that whole division Man Lions, Vikings, Packers,
Speaker 1: and Bears. Oh my, So let's tune in tonight. Let's
Speaker 1: see if we get any breaking baseball news. Until then,
Speaker 1: we thank you, make sure you're subscribed, and we'll definitely
Speaker 1: hear from us Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Uncle Dan, Wake and Jakes's production of dam
Speaker 2: Patrick Productions, John Boy Media, and Workhouse Media
