1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: The Dodgers beat them, and then they talked about beating

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: them and they were like, yeah, we knew we were

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: gonna win. They suck, basically what they said. So I

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: love this from Marin Boone. He's basically not only standing

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: up for his players, his organization, and he's also saying,

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: if we play y' all again, we're coming to whoop

7
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: your ass.

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's nice.

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 3: The sound of a baseball hitting the inside of a glove.

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 3: One loyal FT fan yesterday said, were you guys aware

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 3: there's a team in camp as of Sunday? Not one

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 3: shot from Arizona? Did you even mention it? One picture

13
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 3: of a random player during a combo about uniforms. What

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 3: the heck, boys, it's baseball season. I'm going to take

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 3: that in a positive and be like, let's go stealthy Jim.

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 2: Here it is.

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: Little ASMR to start off the show. I do think

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: we mentioned it yesterday and said bye football, see you never.

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 3: But hello everyone, bron Presentski and Krafts. It's a nice sound.

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: Though.

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna let Crafts go first, because this guy's

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: gonna about to get it, get it. Oh.

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 4: I love when baseball starts with the crack of the minute.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 4: It's funny that they're doing it on a lined football field.

25
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 4: At the end of football season, you know, it's the

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: agility fields, but now there's always music playing and everything.

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 4: Spring training is so exciting to me.

28
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: Spring change sucks, but as a former player, I hate it.

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: But what was that guy's name? What was his screen name?

30
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: I just want to no, no, no clubs Vikes. Okay,

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: First of all, you're a Cubs fan, clearly, so that's

32
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: enough said with that. Second of all, you're from Chicago

33
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: and you're a Vikings fan. Another thing, enough said, So

34
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: clean it up, Jim, stealthy Jim. And then finally, all

35
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: we've talked about for two weeks is we can't wait

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: until football is over and we could talk baseball and

37
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: everyone's getting ready to report, And we had jameson tie

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: On Live from Cubs camp, and we've had guys every

39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: day talking about when they're leaving to go to spring training.

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think we've discussed it just a little bit. Yeah,

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: we haven't shown anybody because we are not there, but

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: we are going to camp soon enough. But we're not

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: going to go to camps when nobody's there. Jim, So

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: clean up your fandom, Jim, and clean up your tweets.

45
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: And Helbie also tries to block like any highlight that

46
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: anyone posts, which is the weirdest thing of all time.

47
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: We could do eight hours on the background of that

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 3: because other leagues don't do that. But that's for another day.

49
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: But Jim, we are with you. We love that noise,

50
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: except for AJ because he loves that noise when it's

51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 3: the regular season. So this is the other thing, and

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 3: then we'll start on the signing. We do have a distraction,

53
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: and it's called off season trades and signings. They're still happening,

54
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: and that's what causes this little mess that we have

55
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: right now. I will say it's not the worst thing

56
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: in the world because sometimes training in terms of news

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: can get slow. So we do still have a lot

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: of activity. We're still going to cover. I would say

59
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: at least twenty major league signings. Some of them might

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 3: be small, right, like we might just spend a couple

61
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: minutes later on in the show, maybe even during commercial

62
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: break going over Scott Barlow.

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: But the headliner here, let's charge the damn mound.

64
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: We have a double digit million signings charge about double

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: digit millions, signing one year ten million dollars. Ken Lee

66
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: Jansen to the Angels. Ben Joyce is a stud. Now

67
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: he's going to move back a little bit. Let him

68
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: kind of simmer and learn in a high leverage role.

69
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: Also smashes arbitration number down because he won't get as

70
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: many saves. But I want to do the positive first, Yes, exactly.

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: That's why we bring up everything on this show, the

72
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: positive first. Aj The Angels have been more active than

73
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: a bleed twenty five other teams this offseason, and even

74
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: though it's not a super attractive roster, they're at least trying,

75
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: which is what we said about the Royals last year,

76
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: not trying to make a comp But the Royals tried

77
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: last offseason and how did that go for them?

78
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: Well, they made the playoffs. But let me see this,

79
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: who'd you mentioned Joyce? Right? Ben Joyce?

80
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: And Joyce was a billion, one hundred and thirty two

81
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: miles an hour.

82
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: He should be the closer. I love Kenley Jansen, but

83
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: why if you're the Angels and you're an Angels fan,

84
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: why do you sign this guy? Don't you want Ben

85
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: Joyce to learn how to close games? He's going to

86
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: be your closer of the future. They pretty much already

87
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: said that. By the way, what a beautiful what a

88
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: beautiful picture here in star Vegas. But yeah, yeah, I

89
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: mean the leaves are not looking like that today. But

90
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, if you're the Angels fans, why are

91
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: you excited about this? I mean nothing, This is not

92
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: a knock on Kenley Jansen at all. I love Kenley,

93
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: great guy, he's come on the show, He's awesome to

94
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: talk to. But why, I just don't understand this. You

95
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: if you have Ben Joyce, you're not You're probably not

96
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: going to win this year in that division. So why

97
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: bring in Kelly? Yes, I know you want him to

98
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: teach Ben Joyce how to do it this and that.

99
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you rather have Ben Joyce in safe situations getting

100
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: the ball in the ninth inning, trying to learn how

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: to save games on the field, rather than have Kenley

102
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Jensen say all right, kid, go get go get the

103
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: eighth for me so I can clean up the ninth

104
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: And yes, it is a way to also hold down

105
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: his salary a little bit because he's not going to

106
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: rack up the saves that he should and he'll just

107
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: get hold instead.

108
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: I'm hard against you on this one only because I

109
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: would rather have both, and now we do have both.

110
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: If it's other positions, I'm.

111
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: Kenley's not gonna pitiate. But Kenley's not going to put

112
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: a pitch the eight. He wants to close games because

113
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: he's thinking about us Hall of Fame resume, right, That's

114
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: the thing to me. So he wants to close. But

115
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Ben Joyce as my closer of the future,

116
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: which they all said he is. I want him to

117
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: close games. I want him to start out closing games

118
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: because he needs to learn how to close games. He

119
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: needs to learned when he blows one, how to bounce back.

120
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: He needs learned how to Oh, I came in with

121
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: a one run lead and second to third no outs,

122
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: how to get out of it like that? Anyone can

123
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: talk about it, but until you've actually done it, it's different.

124
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: But the Angels want to make some noise, at least

125
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: in the first half crats and then if things turn

126
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 3: out like perfectly, Trout's back thriving. I don't know, Rendon

127
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 3: finds it. Yon Mancata is the next big thing. Everything

128
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: works out for them cool, it's a great story. And

129
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 3: then they have a deeper bullpen. If it doesn't, perfect

130
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: guy to trade at the deadline.

131
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 4: Oh, definitely, perfect guy to trade. Did you know Kenley's

132
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: middle name is Geronimo? Just found that out today. Just

133
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 4: just look that up. That's a that's I think, a

134
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: pretty freaking cool fact. But he said on our show,

135
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: he said, I want to go back to la Last

136
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: year when he was with Boston and everybody freaked out,

137
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 4: Oh he doesn't want to be here, blah blah blah.

138
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 4: He didn't say you wanted to go back to the Dodgers.

139
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 4: He said he wanted to go back to La here

140
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 4: on the show, And to me, the ten million says,

141
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: there was other teams that were interested, because you look

142
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 4: at it, you say, man, there's some teams that really

143
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: use a closer, back end of the bullpen kind of guy.

144
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 4: But what Aj said building his resume, I can't wait

145
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 4: till he's back on again.

146
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 5: But I would love to know if.

147
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: Other teams maybe were better teams, maybe more playoff contending

148
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 4: teams than the Angels. Didn't offer him the guaranteed closer role,

149
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 4: just offered him a back end spot.

150
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: Rats, do you like spending an hour on grocery shopping.

151
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 5: Nope, speed up the process. Please introducing Hungry Root to

Speaker 3: I stacked my Hungry Root box with items like gluten free,

157
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: dairy free blueberry waffles for breakfast, shrimp veggie bowls for lunch,

158
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: and a little filet mignon with potatoes and broccolini for dinner.

159
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 4: You can also say just hey, Hungry Root, I eat

160
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: paleo or I'm vegetarian, and they load up your car

173
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna say this weren't the Red Sox. Everyone

174
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: in the chat is like, oh, they're gonna trade him

175
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: in July. Wasn't that supposed to be the plan for

176
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: the Red Sox last year? And he didn't get traded,

177
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: So don't always say like a world as chatman with

178
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: the Pirates, right. That was another one Rowdy tells. We've

179
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: talked about these some of these guys, they don't end

180
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: up getting traded and then they end up going down

181
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: and getting stuck, you know, in a team that doesn't

182
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: end up doing anything. That was the plan for ken

183
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean all we heard last year at the trade

184
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: ded line Kenley Jensen to this team, Kelly Gens of

185
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: this team, Kenley Gents, you're there not necessarily, So don't

186
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: get all excited because Angels fans that they're gonna trade

187
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: him and get something, because they might end up keeping them.

188
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: And listen again, I love Kenley Jensen. I hope he

189
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: has a great year, but I just think for the

190
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: team in this situation, unless he's gonna mentor him and

191
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: not pitch the ninth I think you need Ben Joyce though,

192
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning, even even a.

193
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 4: Guy like Kimberl came up to the big leagues, Like

194
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 4: he was one of the only guys in my time

195
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 4: playing that I saw in Triple A as a closer,

196
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 4: went to the big leagues as a closer and obviously

197
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 4: had a Hall of Fame type of career.

198
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 5: His first twenty innings he wasn't closing. So maybe that's

199
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 5: kind of the thought process.

200
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 4: But I'm more on the on the camp of like,

201
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 4: look like this is this is completely holding his salary down.

202
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 4: They're able to have another back end reliever, and they

203
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 4: don't really care if Benjys doesn't get the doesn't get

204
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 4: the saves, because that's value in their pocket. Oh and

205
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 4: then second year, second full season in the big leagues,

206
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 4: then he gets his Then he gets his saves and

207
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 4: starts racking him up.

208
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think he could get dealt if

209
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: they have a really bad first half pretty easily. And

210
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: if he's good, if he looks like he does the

211
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 3: last two years, he's got value.

212
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying about Chapman for example.

213
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: AJ But the pirates thought they were in it even

214
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: if we didn't and no one else did. They did

215
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: acquire help, right, They got Brian de la Cruz, who

216
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: was mostly terrible for them, and they picked up by

217
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: Kif who was some depth.

218
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 2: For the pirates.

219
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: That is what they call pushing their chips in. So

220
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 3: that's why they weren't going to trade someone like that away.

221
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: What about the ript What about the Red Sox and

222
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: Ken Lee last year?

223
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: The Red Sox have been weird for trade deadlines for

224
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 3: years and I don't know what's going on with them

225
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: right This has been like three or four years in

226
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 3: a row now and people were blaming Bloom in the past.

227
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: I start to think that maybe there are just too

228
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: many cooks in the kitchen on decisions like that. But

229
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 3: maybe it'll change now. Also, I don't think they were

230
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: completely out. Did they sell? Did the Red Sox sell?

231
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 5: No?

232
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 3: So that's really what it comes down to. If you're

233
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: a clear cut seller at the deadline, this is an

234
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: easy conversation. You're at July whatever, and of July, he's

235
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 3: got four ish mill left on the deal, and if

236
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: he looks like he usually does, that's an easy trade

237
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: away for the Angels and pick up a prospect for

238
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: a team that Baseball America just ranked as the thirtieth

239
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: best farm system. There's thirty teams in Major League Baseball.

240
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 3: That's not good. So I give him credit because I

241
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 3: want them to at least give the fans a reason

242
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: to come to the ballpark. Their owner, Arty Moreno likes names.

243
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: Ken Lee is a name. I bet you there's just

244
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 3: like a little Actually, there's probably a lot inside him

245
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: that says, I'm gonna get that Dodger guy. I'm going

246
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: to bring him over here. I mean, look at the

247
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: Dodgers twelve years ago in the Angels and now where

248
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: those two franchises are. The Dodgers have been a powerhouse.

249
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: Now they just want a World Series. They've got star power.

250
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: The Angels are in a big market. I mean, they

251
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: could do more. And they are your team.

252
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: And they're in LA. They're in Los Angeles somehow, some

253
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: weird way.

254
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the LA.

255
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: Listen. I'll say this, which is still one of the

256
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: craziest things of all the time, but I want to

257
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: say this. Ron Washington wants to win. He wants to win.

258
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: He's I think he only signed about a two or

259
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: a three year deal. They didn't do so good last year.

260
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: He needs to win. He needs to win and figure

261
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: it out. So yeah, Ron Washington's like, give me Kenley Jansen,

262
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: Give me Tim Mantererson, I can fix them. Give me

263
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: yo want, give me yo on? Wait, sorry, give me

264
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: Anthony rend and Health.

265
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 5: Give me no.

266
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just I mean, somebody said it's a game

267
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: five million dollars, so I don't know, but it's crazy

268
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: to me. It's crazy. I mean, listen, Washington wants to win,

269
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: so he's like, bring veterans. I don't want to deal

270
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: with young guyser, you got to teach him, which Ron

271
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Washington's great at. But you have a usually have a

272
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: better chance of winning if you have veteran guys that

273
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: have been there and done that.

274
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: Could we agree on this?

275
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: Here's how I want to finish the point because I

276
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: think that the way we look at off seasons has changed.

277
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: So many teams do nothing in an embarrassing fashion that

278
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 3: I don't want to smash a team for trying and

279
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 3: doing things now. In the past, when more teams were

280
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: involved in off seasons, you could be more critical and

281
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: be like, I like the way they spent, I don't

282
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 3: like the way they spent. But nowadays it's like half

283
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: the teams do nothing. So I'm going to say the half.

284
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: The teams that do nothing are down here. The teams

285
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: that do something that I like are here. And I'm

286
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 3: going to say, there's the teams in the middle where

287
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, at least they improve their roster. Is it

288
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: how I would have spent their money? Not necessarily, but

289
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: that's my point. It's a top ten offseason. They have

290
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: had a top ten off season, maybe the top five.

291
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: It's a big close.

292
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 5: I give them a B. They have a closer.

293
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 4: They have a bonafide power threat justin Jorge Solaire and

294
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 4: Kenley Jansen, whatever you think of them as players, those

295
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 4: are two bonafide positions in the game on the field.

296
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 4: Whatever you want to say, That wills to really effected

297
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: the team. And they made those moves.

298
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 3: Do you guys want to see how it affects their

299
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: Pakoda projections. We're gonna go over that next with real gold. Well,

300
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 3: we'll let you guys have fun together.

301
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 4: Well.

302
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: Signing the other major league signing today, Scott Barlow to

303
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Reds. I like the way they're stacking pitching depth.

304
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 3: You need it in Cincinnati. Sixty three appearances last year

305
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: for Cleveland. Jesse Rodgers broke the story one year, two

306
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 3: and a half million bucks. Barlow last season at a

307
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: four two five ERA, the ra plus was just under

308
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: league average at ninety six. He's been eating innings for

309
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: a good chunk of his career fifty five. I mean

310
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: out of the bullpen. I should say he's been durable

311
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 3: out of the bullpen for several years. And if you

312
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: type in Scott Barlow stat cast, you can see why

313
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: he gets several million dollars for technically giving you a

314
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: bit below league average production. There is still some serious

315
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: promise when it comes to we contact, high width percentage,

316
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: good strikeout numbers, those kind of metrics that teams are

317
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 3: looking for. Sixty eight k's and fifty five innings, low

318
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: hard hit, high ground ball, high extension. It's all the

319
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 3: sexy stuff for the front offices. It is so good

320
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: for Cincinnati to add none. Too many walks.

321
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 5: That's a problem. Okay, walked.

322
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: And you're thinking that.

323
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: To be a league Yeah, he's thirty two. Can you

324
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 3: figure that out.

325
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: He's got a great arm. My question is is we

326
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: didn't even get to this with Craig because we had

327
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: to go. But he's got Cincinnati at seventy four wins,

328
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: seventy three point nine wins. That's it, seventy three point nine.

329
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: We're all hyping them up?

330
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 5: Man?

331
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: Are we all way off? Are they right? Scott Barby

332
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: moved the needle to seventy five.

333
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 5: I don't know how.

334
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 4: Many of those guys, how many of those guys stay

335
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 4: on the field. You talked about the things that give

336
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: give you, like how many guys played one hundred and

337
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 4: sixty games last year? One hundred and fifty games. So

338
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 4: that's probably where the projections are buying low. And I'm

339
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 4: getting seasick AJ's camera.

340
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 5: Camera.

341
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: It's like Scott's what.

342
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: When I was on a boat. My camera's been behaving lately.

343
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: It's so good that we might get you won for

344
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: the road, But anyway, I like that.

345
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: Would cost money. We're like the Marlins.

346
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 3: I would say we're more like the Mariners. We've at least,

347
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 3: you know, spent on our core, but as far as

348
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 3: new acquisitions, it can be difficult. Sometimes Leo Rodriguez got paid,

349
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 3: JP Crawford got paid. That we're going year to year

350
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: with our pitching staff. So I would say more like

351
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: the Mariners, which is not frustrating at all. But anyway,

352
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: I'm with you ad I think the Reds should be

353
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: good in the Weeds, Believe it or not. The Cubs

354
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: have discussed other options if Alex Bregman elsewhere. Justin Turner's

355
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: name popped up. Apparently there's some interest from Boston and

356
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 3: Detroit and Turner two. This one came out last night

357
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 3: from Kenny Ballgame. Rosenthal and Patrick Mooney part of Northside Territory.

358
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: Both part of the Athletic Kenny Ballgame. Of course, Rosenthal

359
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 3: on Fair Territory. Other notes from this one. Justin Turner

360
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: and fam are intrigued about the Chicago summers and he's

361
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 3: been in a lot of fun big markets. This would

362
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: kind of complete the tour New York, LA, Boston, Toronto, Seattle.

363
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 3: Seemed like the Mariners might have happened. They certainly talked

364
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: that way towards the end of last season, but the

365
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: Mariners are broke. They instead got Dona Vislano. The redsbur

366
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 3: in contact with Turner. The Cubs, of course have Matt

367
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: Shaw and Craig Counsel did say yesterday Shaw gets the

368
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 3: first shot, at least that's what he said for now,

369
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 3: and there are other options in camp like John Birdie,

370
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 3: who we spoke to on the show the other day.

371
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 3: All right, take all of that and tell me what

372
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: you got, krats. Who are the Cubs going to bring in?

373
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 3: And also, of course Turner's not playing third really much anymore,

374
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 3: if at all.

375
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: I don't see the Turner thing other than the fact

376
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 4: that the dude, it has always been kind of in

377
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 4: the limelight. He's played the big markets. Now the White

378
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 4: Sox will be a bigger market than the Cubs, but

379
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 4: that won't That's not where he's gonna sign. I don't

380
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 4: see the Cubs going. I don't see the Cubs getting

381
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 4: either of these guys. And this isn't me cub hating.

382
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 4: This is me Matt Shall loving. We heard Craig talk

383
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 4: about when they were doing their Pakoda projections. I watched

384
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 4: this guy play for Team USA, not when I was

385
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 4: with him, just recently in this last tournament they played in.

386
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 4: It's got a really really nice swing. I think this

387
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 4: is something that they don't see. The extra added value

388
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 4: for delaying his delaying what he can do, bring him up,

389
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 4: show what he can do, and I think that's I

390
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 4: think that's the route that the Cubs go, and maybe

391
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 4: this is where the value for Craig council is they

392
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 4: saw all the young guys, all the minor league guys

393
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: get called up to the Brewers and have success. Maybe

394
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 4: the Cubs are like, hey, we have a really good

395
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 4: prospect here. This is why we're paying Craig eight million

396
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 4: a year. Get the value out of this kid.

397
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: You know what I loved about that whole thing. He's

398
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: got a really nice swing.

399
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 5: What I mean, how how can I mean.

400
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 1: A lot of people have nice wings. That doesn't mean

401
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: they can hit. I mean I played with a lot of

402
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: guys with nice wings. I played Hunter pen said the

403
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: worst swing of all the time. He got a lot

404
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: of hits in the big league. So I don't know.

405
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: I just thought that was funny. Uh yeah, I think.

406
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I think Shaw is the

407
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: answer for the Cubs to start the season. Craig Councils

408
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: came out and basically said that yesterday. So I don't know,

409
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: unless they get bragmant, which I'm not sure that's going

410
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: to happen at this point. But justin Turner's a nice fit.

411
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: He's a good clubhouse guy. He still can swing in

412
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: certain situations we need him to. I think he fits

413
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: on a lot of teams. But the real question to

414
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: me is why hasn't he signed yet? Why has the

415
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: team not offered him, especially a team looking to win,

416
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: because again, come off the bench, play multiple positions. He

417
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: can hit, he can teach some of your younger guys

418
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: how to hit. And I think he'd be okay at

419
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: this point of coming off the bench and showing guys

420
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: how it's done.

421
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 4: Clubhouse guy, a clubhouse guy, that's what the Cubs need.

422
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 5: Who wants a clubhouse guy. He's forty years old, he's old.

423
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 4: Like there's there is definitely value for Turner on this team,

424
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 4: not as a starting third baseman.

425
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: I just I didn't say that. I said as a

426
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: clubhouse guy and coming off the bench. But you're too big.

427
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: He's a good fella. He won the Roberto Clemente Award.

428
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: I saw him.

429
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 5: He's definitely a good fellaw Right.

430
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: That definitely makes you a good fellow. It's like winning

431
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: the Walter Payton Award just automatically makes you a nice guy.

432
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 5: Just you're in and year out. It's not you don't

433
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 5: ever slump in the good guy awards.

434
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: Nope, nope, not if you win one of those.

435
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: Hey, let's show the tie on quote last thing here,

436
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: because you got a tiptoe. Jed Hoyard didn't really do

437
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: much with it a couple days ago when the media

438
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: was asking him about Bregman. You know, he kind of

439
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: brushed it off for the most part. I don't think

440
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 3: there was much to it. But Tyon took a long pause. Well,

441
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 3: here's Jesse Rodgers with the tweet while looking into the

442
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: cameras after being asked about teammates like Tucker and Presley

443
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 3: recruiting Bregman. Quote, those guys speak very highly of him,

444
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: and I've definitely heard them communicate that out loud.

445
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they'd love to see him run through

446
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: that door.

447
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: But I'm still confused about the offer situation, Like do

448
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 3: the Cubs have a six year offer or are we

449
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 3: just getting wrong reports right? Like we got the report

450
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: the other day that he wants six or seven years.

451
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 3: So if he wants six or seven years, it sounds

452
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: like he's got that from the Astros for a while now.

453
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 3: And I think Toronto is what people keep guessing. So

454
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: pick one. We think the Cubs or the Red Sox,

455
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: or I guess the Tigers. I don't know where they're at.

456
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: Are going to suddenly up their offer once they see

457
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 3: people in camp and go, I.

458
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: Feel like we're one bat short. I don't feel like

459
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: teams do that anymore.

460
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: I do think they do that if someone gets hurt,

461
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: but relying on a pitcher to get hurt versus a

462
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: position player is a much different game. Not a ton

463
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 3: of position players get hurt. With long term injuries, your

464
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 3: percentage chance in spring training is much lower. Arms drop

465
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: like crazy. Position players.

466
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 4: Are Presley and Tucker telling Bregman, Hey, you gotta come here.

467
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 4: I know we're both only going to be here for

468
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 4: one year, but dude, you got to come here for

469
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 4: five years. Let's say the Cubs offer is five years

470
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 4: he wants six, he doesn't get it, or six years

471
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 4: he wants seven, doesn't get it. Bregman's going to be

472
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 4: there and be like, wait, you guys. You guys aren't

473
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 4: here anymore.

474
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 5: Like I don't.

475
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 4: As much as they might be boys, I don't know

476
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 4: what their relationship is. I don't know that that should

477
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 4: move the new for Bregman.

478
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: It's it's contract, it's money.

479
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 5: He did this.

480
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 2: Here's my thing about Brenan ready the first time around.

481
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: Here's my thing about Bregman. I've said this, If he

482
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: has this magical six year deal out there, why hasn't

483
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: he taken it? Apparently, no team's going to go to seven,

484
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: No team's gonna move at this point. If he's been

485
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: sitting on this six one fifty six that we've heard

486
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: about for I don't know, months and weeks and whatever October,

487
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: nobody's nobody has. Nobody obviously has taken it to the

488
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: next level. So why has he not taken it? That's

489
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: my question. If it's really on the table at this point,

490
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna beat that, right, I mean, let's Scott Boris

491
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: pulls something out of his hat, a rap it out

492
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: of his hat, So that seems to be the team

493
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: you got to go to if that's there. Alex, I

494
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: love you. You're a great guy, You're a good fella. You've

495
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: had a great career in Houston. But whoever has the

496
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: six one fifty six, I don't understand why he hasn't

497
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: taken it yet.

498
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 3: It sounds like that even got pushed up a little

499
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: bit closer to the one sixty range. So again, where

500
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 3: are we at? So we'll see, we'll see that sounds

501
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 3: like an attractive offer, especially if he wants to stay there,

502
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: you gotta bump up a little bit of money for

503
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 3: the state income tax two because you're in Texas, so

504
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: that helps. So if there's an offer that's better than it,

505
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 3: and it's coming from say Toronto, it's got to be

506
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 3: x percent better, right, ten percent something like that.

507
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 4: To be fair to AJ's point there, Let's say he

508
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 4: can get the exact same whatever, whatever the tax diff is,

509
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 4: fourteen percent from Toronto, Texas. If he can get that

510
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 4: fourteen percent offer from Toronto on paper, like, hey, this

511
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 4: is what we're gonna give you. Whatever fourteen percent of

512
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 4: one hundred and sixty million.

513
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 5: Is, let's seventy sixteen.

514
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 4: Another twenty million, I think he would want to take

515
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 4: that back to the Astros and say, give me half

516
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 4: of the extra what they're giving, give me the extra

517
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 4: ten million, put it on and I'll sign it today.

518
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 2: I think the as ago we're making the same offer.

519
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: If if you get to the finish line of what

520
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: this money is, it's the same offer. They do that.

521
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 3: So it's a good little battle going on right now.

522
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: It's no exactly, I think that's what's gonna happen. They're

523
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 3: gonna be like, yo, we've got the same offer. We're

524
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 3: not gonna outbid ourselves. This one's for age. A. Jesse

525
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 3: Rodgers is at all the camps and he spoke to

526
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 3: Chris Getz today or at least got a quote quote,

527
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: I think we'll win more games this year.

528
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 2: What do you think about the no stradamus call out?

529
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope so, because if you don't win

530
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: more games, you're setting another record. I mean you can't possibly.

531
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean it was Garret Crochet's fault. We all learned

532
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: that from Chuck Carfind. You know, we ruined the bullpen.

533
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: So let's not forget that, okay before we take into this,

534
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: but they better win more games.

535
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 5: If they win.

536
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: Think about this. If they win, if they only lose

537
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten games a year, that's an eleven

538
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: game improvement. People are most teams that prove eleven games?

539
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: You're like, man, they had a great offseason. Look at them.

540
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: They're really on the rise now. They imagine if they

541
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: win twenty more games they only lose one hundred and

542
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: one games. Think how much of an improvement that is?

543
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: Will Venable Manager of the Year, Why?

544
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 5: Why? Why are they gonna win more games?

545
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 4: What besides like blank out, blackout last year, blank out

546
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 4: all of history that has nothing to do Andrew Bennettende's

547
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 4: not like, we are not gonna do this. I know

548
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 4: history and I know baseball. We are not gonna what

549
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: on this roster is gonna convince me? Mike Tuckman the

550
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 4: sock man, he's not throwing any late innings. Like because

551
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 4: the bullpen improved at the end of the year last year,

552
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 4: they have less started pitching. Why are they gonna win

553
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 4: more games just because nobody's done it before, nobody's lost

554
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 4: more than that.

555
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, they can't. As check our find said, they're

556
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: incredibly unlucky. And I always believe everything Chuck says because

557
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: he's on TV.

558
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 5: But yes, that's.

559
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: Why, because they can't be as bad and as unlike Tannis.

560
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: Travis Janikowski's not gonna jump over the leftfield wall Rob

561
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Andrew on of a potentially game winning homer in the

562
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: ninth inning. Okay, it's not. There's just so many things

563
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: they can't go. Oh, what they think they finally won

564
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: a game like in September trailing after seven innings, Right,

565
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: there's just so there's so many things that were impossible

566
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: to have into the White Sox. They have to get

567
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: even if they just get a smidge better crowds, just

568
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: a smidge, if they win two games after the seventh inning,

569
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: they'll win more games than they did last year.

570
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they don't have fetti to win games. They

571
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 4: don't have crochet to win games. They lost all those games.

572
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 4: Didn't you listen to Chuck?

573
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 5: Chuck is wrong wrong.

574
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 2: I just hope they get did the doctor evil?

575
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: We will win more games this year, more games games.

576
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 2: They're gonna have one hundred.

577
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: That's four win improvements. That's the four win improvement. The

578
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: CODA only hasn't losing ninety.

579
00:27:54,880 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 3: Nine BEMGM futures stolen bases Lawrence Butler nineteen and a

580
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 3: half over under for law Dog, who came on real

581
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: strong in the second half last year. Good dude made

582
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: the adjustments that he needed, ended up with wait for it,

583
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 3: eighteen stolen bags last season in four hundred twelve abs.

584
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 3: How many played appearances four hundred and fifty one played appearances.

585
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 3: I do not know where he's going to be hitting

586
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 3: in the lineup. One thirty one ops plus. Just to

587
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 3: help tell the story of a guy who had a

588
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 3: ridiculously good year at the plate. If you think he's

589
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 3: going to be healthy, is he not going to get

590
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: to that shiny twenty number. Guys that are at that

591
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: eighteen nineteen, right, don't they want to hit the twenty?

592
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

593
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 4: Over, for sure, this dude's looking to step up to

594
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 4: be an All Star. He's not looking to like hit milestones.

595
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 4: He's gonna and his plate discipline improved as the season

596
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 4: went on, creating harder contact, creating more times that they

597
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 4: had to. You know that they're going to pitch around

598
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 4: him where he's gonna you know, obviously, if Roper's hitting

599
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 4: behind him, you know you might not get walked as much.

600
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 4: But this is a dude that improved as a season

601
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 4: went on. Easy over, I'm locking it in today.

602
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: Agreed. Agreed.

603
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 5: He's young.

604
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: Although the A's didn't really want to steal bases, he's

605
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: a guy that can steal bases. I think I think

606
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: he's a I think he's a twenty five to twenty

607
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: five guy.

608
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 2: Right.

609
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 3: That's what holds you back a little is the team approach.

610
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: And also he's actually about mid range. On stat cast

611
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: metrics for his sprint speed, he's fifty eight percentile from

612
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 3: last year.

613
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

614
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: I feel like he's faster than that, so I'm giving

615
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 3: it to him.

616
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 5: Zero caught stealing.

617
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 4: That's the other reason the a's will let you run

618
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 4: if you're I think it's eighty two or eighty seven percent,

Speaker 3: more concern called one hundred gambler.

630
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what he said.

631
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: That's what he said.

632
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 5: That's what he said.

633
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: That's what he said. That's what he said again.

634
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: Aaron Boone talking today about the Dodgers quote, hopefully we're

635
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 3: in that position next year and handle things with a

636
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 3: little more class.

637
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: Woe.

638
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: Eric Kratz, you know Boonie, well, you played for him

639
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 3: your thoughts.

640
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 4: He said it with his chest. They didn't appreciate didn't

641
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 4: appreciate it. Like Alex Rdugo is probably not like upset

642
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: about it, Anthony Rizzo is probably not upset about it.

643
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 4: But Boonie is still with the Yankees, Aaron Judge is

644
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 4: still with the Yankees. Dudes that feel like they were disrespected,

645
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 4: they should feel disrespected by what the Dodgers said. And

646
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 4: I think Boonie I gave a lot of credit for

647
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 4: Boonie for being honest in this situation.

648
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 5: I love it.

649
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: I freaking love it, you know I love it. We

650
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: need more trash talk and let's go, let's get rivalries

651
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: going again. Like yeah, you know what, they beat you,

652
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: and then they talked about it, and they talked about

653
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: how they were gonna beat you, and they knew they

654
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: were gonna beat you, and they weren't afraid of it.

655
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: I mean, who do we have on here? Someone from

656
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: the Yankees the other day and they were talking about

657
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: Kinley somebody and they were like, yeah, we didn't really

658
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: appreciate that very much, you know, right, Like the Dodgers

659
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: beat him, and then they talked about beating them and

660
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: they were like, yeah, we knew we were gonna win.

661
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: They suck, basically is what they said. So I love

662
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: this from Aaron Booney. He's basically not only standing up

663
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: for his players, his organization, and he's also saying, if

664
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: we play all again, coming to whoop your ass.

665
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: And the Yankees like to use that word, you know,

666
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: we're gonna hand it with a little more class. We'll

667
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 3: see if they end up obviously taking them down. I mean,

668
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 3: the one thing the Dodgers can reply with is, yeah,

669
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,719
Speaker 3: but we're not going to be as sloppy as that

670
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 3: fit thing, So you're not going to be able to

671
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 3: trash us the same way. That was part of it.

672
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 3: They were like, yo, they weren't playing good baseball. It

673
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 3: was part of it. That part was true. I also

674
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 3: just appreciate the transparency from them from the Dodgers.

675
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 4: The Dodgers didn't only just say, oh, it was a

676
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 4: bad fifth inning. They said the whole time. Well, yeah,

677
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 4: they were drinking too, you're right, AJ, But they said

678
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 4: they said, we talked about it in our meetings. So

679
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 4: that's like a I mean, that's like a full team

680
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 4: diss a full team like hey, Saturn report said, just

681
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 4: put the ball in play. And they're not going to

682
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 4: make the play I think is what is what one

683
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 4: of the Dodgers said. I'm not sure who said that,

684
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 4: Chris Taylor maybe, but they drinking. They were sitting on

685
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 4: the couch. Microphones are always hot.

686
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it all right.

687
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get to a few questions here because

688
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 3: once the show is done today we are done at

689
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 3: two fifty seven Eastern time. Armand who had a better

690
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 3: off season? The Angels or the Cubs? AJ first, Cubs.

691
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: I just want to say it, Oh, the Cubs.

692
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: The coach, they got Tucker, they got a bat they needed.

693
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: They also with Presley, and then if they get Breman.

694
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I said it the other day, is an

695
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: a plus offseason for the.

696
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 4: Cubs Without Bregman, they still had a better offseason. I

697
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 4: mean anytime you had Tucker. The reason the astro has

698
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 4: got rid of Tucker's because he's gonna be way too costly.

699
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 4: After they see what won Soto got, you add that

700
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 4: to your lineup.

701
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 5: That is big. Definitely the Cubs. I love here and

702
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 5: AJ say it's so easily too.

703
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 3: Willard said, Scott, can you explain I the guest on

704
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 3: foul Territory said, only pure hitters in baseball are Soto

705
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 3: and Tani and Judge and you guys being professionals at

706
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 3: it got cut off.

707
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 2: But I don't remember this part.

708
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 5: No, I asked.

709
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 4: I asked Craig about where they had who who the

710
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 4: top hitter was besides Otani, or who the top player

711
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 4: was value wise, and he said Judge and Soto is

712
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 4: a top projected value player players.

713
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 5: I don't remember them talking about your hitters.

714
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you there. Good glad we cleared that up.

715
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 3: And lastly, one more prediction Carlos asking where does Bragman

716
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 3: sign updated predictions Houston A J Houston.

717
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: With a baseball team. I don't know, with a baseball

718
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: you know what he's getting. You know what I love

719
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman. I've said this, We're getting to the one

720
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: SODO point where I'm just like, just sign already. I'm

721
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: tired day.

722
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 5: I actually think.

723
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 2: There might be a fight over they opt out.

724
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 3: Maybe he wants an opt out and the Asters are like, nah,

725
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 3: it's six one sixty, say they got to now, but

726
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 3: no opt out, so we'll see.

727
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 4: Okay, you don't know where he's gonna go.

728
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 5: Also knew I.

729
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 3: Mean, but predictions, predictions, because then people hold you to them.

730
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 3: We all said Houston, but man, I would love to

731
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 3: see Detroit get him. I just think that would really

732
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 3: put them over the top in a division that is

733
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 3: up for grabs. I feel like they could be a

734
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 3: little bit short. They have such a hole at third

735
00:35:39,760 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 3: base two. Whatever, it's just money.

736
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 2: Let's slap.

737
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 3: Least surprising news ever, Kershaw's at Dodgers facility playing catch this.

738
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 3: According to Alding and Zalees, he and the Dodgers have

739
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 3: agreed to terms on a contract. Per source, he still

740
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 3: has to finish going through his physical. So Kershaw's back.

741
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 3: We'll see when he returns to the team, maybe mid

742
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 3: season ish. What are you confused about krats that they

743
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 3: already agreed.

744
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 4: Can't they just say we're waiting till the time when

745
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 4: we can put them on the sixty day I L.

746
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 4: And we don't have any forty man roster spot. Don't

747
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 4: say we're waiting on a physical.

748
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 3: Do you think they're gonna flunk Clayton Kershaw's physical, got.

749
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 4: A chance or put him right on the sixty day

750
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 4: I L. So they don't have to use a forty

751
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 4: man spot. That's why they haven't announced it. You'll just

752
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 4: get to show up and play catch at the Dodgers facility.

753
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: All right, he might, mister.

754
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 5: Might, he might, he might actually Okay, Okay, he might

755
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 5: he might. You're right, he might be the legend.

756
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 2: He can do it regular people. Turn your hat around exactly,

757
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: kratz hats.

758
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,600

Speaker 4: the Boston Hat.

763
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 5: I can never get a one shot now.

764
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 4: I can't get away from a one shot with a

765
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 4: red Sox had on Monster Territory.

766
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 5: Don't be afraid to watch it.

767
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, Monster Territory, great news show.

768
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,479
Speaker 2: Check it out. Do I see?

769
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 3: Is that Fort Myers on the side for you krats?

770
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 3: I know it's on the side of the Gators hat America?

771
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 5: No, no got.

772
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 3: I thought there might have been an FT, which would

773
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 3: have been no
