Speaker 1: the most additions and you're like, how do they keep

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:04,640

Speaker 3: a sec. What'd you say?

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: I was watching a clip on on slug Ball. I

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: was trying to see what what this is? What's going on?

Speaker 3: was part of our instagram other day and I saw that.

18
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 4: I have no idea what it is. It looked like

19
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 4: a bunch of softball players hitting home runs. And then

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know.

21
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: Maybe Ruben's part of it. We'll get him on. Rubens

Speaker 3: But how you been, man? You you're fighting through it

25
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,640

Speaker 1: as if all things are normal, which they definitely aren't,

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: but just been grinding away, trying to get ready.

32
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 6: What is it?

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 5: What's not normal?

34
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 4: I mean, you pitched great last year, you pitched great

35
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 4: last year, you were traded, you won the World You

36
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: start a game one of the World Series for the

37
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: team that won the World Series. You were healthy, unbelievable year.

38
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 4: What's not normal? I don't understand how I said I

39
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: brought you up? How many times? I'm like, where the

40
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 4: hell are the Jack Flaherty rumors? Why have I heard nothing?

41
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 6: I just don't.

42
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 5: Understand, Like you should be for me. You should have

43
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 5: been on the top of the list for twenty teams.

44
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: You know you would, you would hope.

45
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: So after you know, it was kind of okay in

46
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: twenty three, I gotta prove that I'm healthy And in

47
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: twenty four, I gotta, you know, go out and actually

48
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: be healthy and good again, because I struggled in twenty three,

49
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: Like there's no there's no hiding behind it.

50
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: It wasn't it wasn't very good.

51
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: And you know, you go into the off the off

52
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: season with a hope of you know, hopefully getting off

53
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 1: the board quickly and whatnot. And now we're sitting here

54
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: on January twenty third, with no.

55
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: Rumblings, nothing really going on, just.

56
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: Just waiting and all the other top guys are gone

57
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: and we, you know, waited for Susak.

58
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's not.

59
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: Normal in the fact that I don't know where I'm

60
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: going to go play, don't know where I'm going to

61
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: spring training. Everything else is. But in terms of why

62
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: I wish I had a really good answer for you,

63
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: it's I don't know. I wish I had a better

64
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: answer other than I don't know what's making this so difficult?

65
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 6: You said, not really, So I need one hundred percent

66
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 6: confirmation that no team has called and been like, hey,

67
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 6: what are you up to? Like they're just crickets. They're

68
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 6: like they don't even know you exists.

69
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: It's like, what are you up to?

70
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: And it's like, are we gonna have a conversation about

71
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: figuring out a deal?

72
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: Or are you just gonna ask what am I up to?

73
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: Like is what are what again?

74
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: It's just like oh, you know, and you know, it's like, well,

75
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: when is the market gonna move?

76
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: And I'm like, well, what do you mean?

77
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 7: Like?

78
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: When is when is the market going to move? It's

79
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: just like you just have to make an offer and

80
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: then that it'll go.

81
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: But just calling and checking in being like, oh, how's

82
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: it going, how are you feeling, I'm like feel great.

83
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to figure out trying to figure out

84
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: where we're gonna play next year.

85
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. It's weird. It's weird.

86
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 6: Do you feel like teams don't want to win?

87
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 7: You?

88
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 6: Do you feel like they're more because of what you did?

89
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 6: Because of what you did last year, not only did

90
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 6: you prove that you can help a team win, but

91
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 6: you won. You helped a team make some playoffs, and

92
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 6: then you helped another team in the playoffs in the

93
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 6: World Series. You are clearly a winner. You can't. You

94
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 6: grew up in a winning organization. To me, winning is

95
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 6: just all around you. You're not even thirty yet. Do

96
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 6: you feel like teams don't want to win bad enough

97
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 6: as bad as players want to win?

98
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: You know, I think teams want to win. I think

99
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: it is crazy.

100
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Part I like, I'm twenty nine. I'm gonna be twenty

101
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: nine this whole season. It's not like, uh, in an

102
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: older guy in free agency, and it's my it's my

103
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: second go around. I'm gonna be twenty nine the whole year,

104
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: just during twenty nine in October.

105
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: And it's not that I don't think teams want to win.

106
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: I think you have just a certain number of teams

107
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: that want to win, and they look and they look

108
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: at their rosters and there, and they're happy with it.

109
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: So when you have a lot of the league kind of.

110
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: Just like, well, you know, we're okay, and you've got

111
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: the the White Sox trading away Crochet, who's one of

112
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: their only pieces that they have to the Red Sox,

113
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: and like all, like kudos to the Red Sox for

114
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: going and getting him. You know, that takes a spot

115
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: away from where I could have potentially gone. They go

116
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: out and get an ace and a stud in Crochet

117
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: from a team that has, you know, we're not sure

118
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: what's going on there. They just set the record for

119
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: losses and then they now get rid of more players.

120
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: So I think teams want to win, But I also

121
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: think team just want to get into the playoffs. Maybe

122
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: maybe it's not World Series or BUS or it's just

123
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, hope we can get into the playoffs and

124
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: then kind of see.

125
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: What happens, and.

126
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: So, you know, I don't know, it was a it

127
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: was a it was a good year. Last year, it

128
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: was a good run. You know, starting the postseason we're good.

129
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 2: Some weren't. It's just kind of the way that it goes.

130
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna I'm gonna go out there and throw

131
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: until until it's time to take the ball out of

132
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: my hands. And you know, and as of right now,

133
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: we're just we're we're waiting. Not I just I just

134
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: want to play ball.

135
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're gonna play ball. Well, I gotta ask you.

136
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 4: You brought up twenty three and how it went and

137
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: did you went to twenty four?

138
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 5: What was the difference?

139
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 4: I want to know what the difference was in twenty

140
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: three and twenty four because I remember you being super

141
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: hyped as a Cardinals guy and then you obviously go

142
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 4: to Baltimore things don't work out, but then you go

143
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 4: to Detroit and you had an unbelievable start, You go

144
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: to La continue that. So what was the difference between

145
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: twenty three to twenty four and where you're at now?

146
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 2: Well?

147
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: I think even my you know, in twenty three in

148
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, uh, it was. I mean, it was a

149
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: little bit kind of the first change that we've had

150
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 1: there in terms of you know, Yati had been there forever,

151
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:03,559
Speaker 1: and I came up with him and Matt Weed and.

152
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: And was able to throw to them a bunch.

153
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: And it was a first time changing catchers, and there

154
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: was some ups and downs. And I came on here

155
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: last year to defend Wilson and the comments that I

156
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: made after a game because you know, he he truly

157
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: was awesome and really like really did work while he

158
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: was there. And then it was the first time, you know,

159
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: I changed organizations and try to change a few things

160
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: and working with a new catcher, new system and all

161
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: these things, and it just sometimes it didn't go well.

162
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: So you know, it's continuity is a great thing. And

163
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, then I switched some things in my off season.

164
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: I moved out of moved out of l a kind

165
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: of went and revamped a couple of things, revamped my mind,

166
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: revamped the way I was moving. And then go to

167
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Detroit and they do a really really good job there

168
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: with with veteran Robin ln and AJ like, they're all

169
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: awesome there and it has shown, like you know, Scuba

170
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: ands a cy young. The dude's a stud and he's

171
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: so much fun to be around as well. And then

172
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: I was just able to kind of carry that over

173
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: into LA. But you could see there was still you know,

174
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: and I think it just for me having being traded

175
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: at the deadline and guy who just got put in

176
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame what CC Sabbathy was able to

177
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: do when he got traded, and he got traded a

178
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: little bit earlier, but was he able to do switching

179
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: teams in the middle of a season. You could see

180
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of a change going from

181
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: what I did in Detroit to LA and there was

182
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: there was some up and down. Then you're just trying

183
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: to you're trying to get on board with your catcher.

184
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: You're trying to, you know, figure some things out on

185
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: the flat in the middle of a playoff run, and it's.

186
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: Not always the easiest thing to do.

187
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: But I think I was just able to to mentally reset, physically,

188
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: get my body in better places to carry it on

189
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: throughout the year and just just trust my stuff. And

190
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: when you got two teams that trust you to to

191
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: send you out there and give you the ball and

192
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: in in big situations and big games, and and AJ

193
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: left me out there and in certain games when you know,

194
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: pitch count got up there, Uh, sometimes it.

195
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: Didn't work out.

196
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: I could remember, you know, you know var Show got

197
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: me on a hit a home run off me in

198
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: the seventh inning, and you know you had to come

199
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: out and get me afterwards, and we lost the lead.

200
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: And you know, Doc gave me some some some games

201
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: where the pitch count ran up and we went a

202
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: little bit, went a little bit deeper. But and you know,

203
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: giving me the ball and won in Game five. And

204
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: both times Game five I didn't I didn't pitch well.

205
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: And uh but you know in the World Series, the

206
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: boys able to pick me up and uh, you know

207
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: we won that game.

208
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, Tigers win the American League. If you're still on

209
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 6: the Tigers, I know, it's ifs and butts and all

210
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 6: that stuff.

211
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to stay in Detroit. We had

212
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: we had conversations and I loved it there. And I

213
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: thought the combo of me and Scoob was was was incredible.

214
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: And then you saw what they did, the run that

215
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: they went on even after I got traded and they

216
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: brought all those young guys up. I think, you know,

217
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: we I mean they got to it's hard to say.

218
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: I mean they get to at least you get to

219
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: Game five with Cleveland and they got Scoop on the

220
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: mound and Lane Thomas puts one swing and that's how

221
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: that's how the playoffs go. Is as as crazy as

222
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: it as it is. Do I think we win that series?

223
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: Probably?

224
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: We probably win that series and face the Yankees in

225
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: in in the LCS, which is crazy to think about.

226
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: So we went we win that series?

227
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: I shoot, I don't know, but I think we get

228
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: I think at least we get there.

229
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: But it's it's.

230
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: Things like that, you know, but they get some prospects

231
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: in return who you know, ended up doing doing a

232
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: good job for them and have been great, and you know, it's, uh,

233
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: it was fun. It was watch what they did. And

234
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: you know, we've been talking to them and talking to

235
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: other teams and just like, hey, you know, it'd be

236
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: fun to go back there.

237
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 6: How about how about the other team that you almost

238
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 6: got traded to the Yankees? Two parts? Two parts for me,

239
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 6: Do you think it's fair that it was put out

240
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 6: there that they failed your medicals? And do you think

241
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 6: it's fair that if you were on the Yankees now,

242
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, what would you have done to

243
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 6: your Dodger boys in the World Series.

244
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tread carefully on the if it was fair.

245
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean when it came out, it was just like

246
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: it was they were still trying to trade for me

247
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: as it was going on. So they dropped that after

248
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: the trade and then but they had still been trying

249
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: to up to the deadline to make just a different trade,

250
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: like ah, we don't we don't love the medicals, but

251
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: they were still trying to make a trade. And you know,

252
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I'm in LA now, I'm not

253
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,599
Speaker 1: worried about it. And then ending up against them in

254
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: the World Series was kind of a full circle thing.

255
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: But you know, if if I'm there, do we do we?

256
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

257
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: It would have been fun playing playing against the Dodgers

258
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: and going against him and being on the other side.

259
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm happy with the way that things turned out. I

260
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: spent and it was, you know, crazy, with just the

261
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: injuries that that happened in l A, with with Glass

262
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: going down and Stony going down, and Yamamoto missing missing

263
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: some time and Kersh not being able to come back.

264
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: I was just fortunate enough to just to stay healthy

265
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: and and take the ball when I was asked, you know,

266
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: Yama gave that huge Game five start against San Diego.

267
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: He was incredible, and uh, I was lucky.

268
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: I was lucky enough in Game one to go out

269
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: and give him a good start in Game one of

270
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: the World Series gone give a good start.

271
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: So are things different maybe? And if you look at

272
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: it in terms.

273
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: Of what happens on the LA side, if that trade

274
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, if you know, it's like, did they would

275
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: they have gotten somebody else to fill those to fill

276
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: those starts or what would it have looked like? That's

277
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: that's maybe, that's that's that's the interesting part. I'm you know,

278
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: I'm happy with the way it worked out.

279
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: We won. UH got to win in the hometown. Can't

280
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: complain about it.

281
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 5: Did you uh? Did you call speaking in your hometown?

282
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: Did you call your boy Max Freed and say, listen, man,

283
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 4: they failed me. Bro be careful when you signed with

284
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 4: the Yankees for all that money, you never know, like

285
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 4: they might fail you after they sign you. Carlos Korea style.

286
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: I went over to Max's house, gave him a big hug,

287
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: right right when, right when I could he was. He

288
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: was with some family and that night I went over

289
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: to his house, gave him a big hug and just

290
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: just talk to him and was couldn't have been happier

291
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: for him. So he's they got an unbelievable guy. He's

292
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: he's a stud. He's been a stud this whole in

293
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: the league. And you just you love seeing guys get paid,

294
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, no matter who it is, you love seeing

295
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: guys get paid. You know what they're worth, and especially

296
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: with how long and how good you have to be

297
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: in baseball just to get to free agency.

298
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: And just to see guys like get what they're worth.

299
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: And I mean, I don't know, there's been not very

300
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: many long term deals given out this year. You obviously,

301
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: you know you've got Soto, You've got Max, You've got Burns, Blake, Willie.

302
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: But everything else has been has been has been pretty short.

303
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: So I'm I was, I was stoked for Max. I

304
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: could I could care less about you know, what what

305
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: happened and whatnot. They got a good one, And I

306
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: hope he goes there and thraves nice.

307
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 5: Nice.

308
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 4: I love hearing that. So then this leads you to

309
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 4: our next question. You just mentioned that a lot of

310
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 4: teams aren't given long term deals. Do we need a floor?

311
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 4: Do we need a salary floor in baseball? Because I

312
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: because the problem is is I always say, is if

313
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 4: you go floor, then the owners are gonna want a cap,

314
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 4: and that's gonna lead to a huge fight between the

315
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 4: owners and the players. So I don't know how you

316
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 4: have a cap and not have a floor or vice versa.

317
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 3: So it's a slippery slope, right, There's a soft cap.

318
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: There is there is, There is already a soft cap

319
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: in the Luxury tax Uh. And I'm not a part

320
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: of the PA anymore. I was in it for a while,

321
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: and uh I'm not. I'm not on the executive committee anymore.

322
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't want to I don't want to.

323
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: You don't want to you don't want to cap. You

324
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: don't want a hard cap because the way that owners

325
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: are operating and maneuvering right now. Uh, it's that's a

326
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: that's a weird it's a weird situation. I don't know

327
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: that you need a floor. You just need teams to

328
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: want to like to to win. And you know, the

329
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: team that just won the World Series was like the

330
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: basis of of the tweet was the team that just

331
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: won the World Series has made the most additions, and

332
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: how everybody it's like, oh, you know, they just they

Speaker 1: want to be around kersh Like, those guys were incredible.

342
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: I was lucky. You have to spend three months with

343
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: them and and win the World Series. But there's other.

344
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: Places to go that are maxic going to New York

345
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: Yankees unbelievable, Walker Goes is going to Boston unbelievable place

346
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: to go and win, Houston, Philly like uh, Like, there's

347
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: there's places to go that have won and are consistently

348
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and are consistently right there with the

349
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: chance to win. And then there's all there's everybody else

350
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: that it's kind of just sitting and sitting in limbo

351
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: and and you know, well, we're cutting payroll here, but

352
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: adding here, you know, and then like, but we're not

353
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: really gonna do any We're not doing anything else. But

354
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: the team that just won the World Series has made

355
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: the most additions, and you're like, how do they keep

356
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: getting guys Like, well, they're just getting better and trying

357
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: to go back to back, which is very clearly what

358
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: they're trying to do, and I just go back to back.

359
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: But they got show here for the next nine years.

360
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: They've got Yamamoto for the next eleven years. They're gonna

361
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: have Sasaki for I don't know how that works. I

362
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: think it's the next six years at least, they're gonna have.

363
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: They have Blake for next, so they're not trying to

364
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: go back to back. They're trying to win as many

365
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: as they can in that time frame and then who

366
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: knows what happens after them.

367
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: But you've got to.

368
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: Respect, Hey, we're not just all in for this year.

369
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: We're all in for the next whatever it is, like

370
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: nine years. I think Mookie has seven more years on

371
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: his deal. I don't know what Freddy's deal is. Like,

372
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: they got those guys and they're gonna be there, and

373
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: you got to appreciate the fact, like like, damn, that's cool,

374
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, And but you would you'd like to see

375
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: the other teams make the same additions because you would think, Okay,

376
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: we got to catch this team, we need to go

377
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: add well the top team, they just added more.

378
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 2: Pieces, and.

379
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd hope that other than you got to catch

380
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: them somehow.

381
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 6: Agreed.

382
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 4: Agreed by the way, you almost said Chicago, And that's

383
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 4: a bad choice. Teams that are going to be especially

384
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 4: one on the South Side. But I gotta ask you

385
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 4: about your your other old team while we have because

386
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 4: the Cardinals used to try to play, they used to

387
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 4: try to play in those waters, right, And did you

388
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 4: ever think there would be a day where you heard

389
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 4: the Cardinals say we're not trying this year because they

390
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 4: always have tried forever as long as I can remember.

391
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 4: And they kind of came out and said, ah, we're

392
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 4: not going to be that good this year, fans, so

393
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: everyone clambered down, We're gonna kind of reset for a year.

394
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 4: That's crazy to me because the Cardinals are the team

395
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 4: that could go do it.

396
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: I always feel like, I mean, they can and they

397
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: tried they go get Son last year, and uh is

398
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 1: Wilson's second year, and you know, and and and you know,

399
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: Nolan struggled a little bit last year, but I've seen

400
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: the way he's working and what he's going about his

401
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: business and the way new part. You know that those

402
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: guys are going to turn around. It's it's weird to

403
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: think about of them being like, well, we're going to

404
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: reset this year and we're you know, we're gonna try

405
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: to trade Nolan. Well, we haven't traded Nolan for I

406
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: don't I don't know. It's like we're gonna reset, but

407
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: where we can't trade Nolan Arnatto and for a team

408
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: to be like, no, we don't want Nolan Arnatto or

409
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: whatever that situation is is weird. Why you wouldn't want

410
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: that guy who's working his tail off this entire offseason

411
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: is one of the best guys to have in a

412
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: in a locker room.

413
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: You know.

414
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: That's Uh, that place was great. I think that there's

415
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: been interesting things going on since my last couple of

416
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: years there, and uh, you know, I got painted a

417
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: certain way by uh, you know, in my time as

418
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: I was leaving there, people were saying that I always

419
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: wanted to leave, and I always I always wanted to

420
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: go West, and yet I went and signed in Detroit

421
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: last year.

422
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: I didn't go there. I'm not.

423
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: I'm not going back to l A most like it

424
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: can do the numbers, it can do the math.

425
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: That doesn't bother me.

426
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to go elsewhere and win and see if

427
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: we can't beat those guys. Yeah, but it's it's it's

428
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: it's weird because you know that those guys there want

429
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: to win.

430
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 2: I know Nolan wants to win. I know Mason win

431
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: wants to win.

432
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: Uh, he's a gamer, He's he's gonna compete every every

433
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: single time out. You know, Sonny wants to to win

434
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: and compete. Wilson wants to win. Like they're not really

435
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: about Those guys aren't about about numbers like they want

436
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: they want to win and if they if they start winning,

437
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: those numbers are gonna they're gonna produce. And uh, you know,

438
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: it's hard when when you're not winning to it's a

439
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: lot easier to stay locked in when when you're when

440
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: you're winning than it is when uh you're not.

441
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 4: You know that you talked about that great way better, yeah,

442
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 4: way better, way easier to show up every day when

443
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, we're gonna win today.

444
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: Right when you're in a race.

445
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I have a chance.

446
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 5: And that is a und lost team.

447
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 6: That's awful.

448
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,399

450
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 3: a lot of good attention in my mind, because it's

451
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: time for some other teams to wake the hell up.

Speaker 3: So thanks for joining us. Dude, We're gonna we'll have

453
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: you back when you when you got the deal rolled out,

454
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: when someone wakes up.

455
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: Okay, I appreciate it. Guys are great.

456
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 5: Someone sign somebody. Somebody have been asking for it for

457
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 5: three months now, somebody do it.

458
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: Crazy.

459
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 3: Thanks Jack, we'll talk to you soon. But I was

460
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 3: having a conversation or just one or two back in

461
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 3: forth combos here with with Michael and the chat who

462
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 3: was saying, hey, not every team has you know, a

463
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 3: billion plus to spend in the off season. I completely agree.

464
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 3: I am totally on the same page here. Do you

465
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: think the pendulum has swung so far the other way

466
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 3: that people's expectations are tilted right where you're like, oh,

467
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 3: my team did this one little thing. Like if you

468
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 3: go back to the not so distant past, expectations were

469
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 3: higher in off seasons, and also moves were made earlier.

470
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 3: From a business standpoint, for all purposes, it makes sense

471
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 3: to sign or trade for players earlier in the off

472
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 3: season because then it impacts season ticket sales.

473
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 2: You know.

474
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: I have friends who have season tickets to teams across

475
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: the country and they talk to their ticket reps and

476
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 3: they're like, Yo, you haven't done anything. And then they

477
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: call them like March first, look, we did something, and

478
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: they're like, all right, too late. So come on, I

479
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: think you need to do a check with yourself and

480
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 3: say should this team be doing more? And did my

481
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 3: expectations go so far down that I've lost a sense

482
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 3: of reality with the off season. I think that's why

483
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 3: it was important to have Jack on. This doesn't have

484
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 3: to do with players on our show. Supporting players. Come on,

485
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 3: Jack's twenty nine, coming off a great year, pitched Game

486
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 3: one of the World Series. Is he going to get

487
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: a three hundred million dollar contracts? Is going to get

488
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: Corman Burns deal? No, But we just had him on

489
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 3: and he said he's getting phone calls from teams like hey,

490
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 3: how you doing. He's like, good, do you have an offer? No,

491
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 3: just just checking in because you know what they're doing.

492
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 3: They're seeing if he goes. You know, I just really

493
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 3: want to pitch I'll take a one year deal. Why

494
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: does he have to do another one year deal after

495
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: the one year deal.

496
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: He just did.

497
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 3: I'm genuinely curious, Like what am I missing here? Again,

498
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: I'm not.

499
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 6: Saying they don't want to win.

500
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: Oh he's got to get two hundred million dollars or

501
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 3: whatever it is.

502
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 6: They don't want to win bad enough.

503
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: I don't know.

504
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 6: I don't know.

505
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 5: I've been saying it for months. Okay, I've been saying

506
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 5: it for months.

507
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 3: I don't know, just throwing it out there, and some

508
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 3: people are gonna be like, oh, you bash owners too much.

509
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 3: I'm not even talking about owners. I'm just like, you know,

510
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 3: even it's you know, it's a team to bring up

511
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 3: because I know Braves Fins have been freaking out. We've

512
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 3: been trying to temper expectations, but they could use a

513
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 3: starter the prom with Atlanta. Do you know what the

514
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: problem with Atlanta is That I found out the other

515
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: day they are actually trying to reset and stay under

516
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 3: the luxury tax. That's fine that I'm not criticizing the Braves.

517
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 3: They've spent plenty of money, but do you know what

518
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 3: the luxury tax is. It's a soft cap, so that

519
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 3: takes them out of the mix this year for a

520
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 3: player like Flaherty, they just lost two starters. And I

521
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 3: still think they have nice arms, but I'd be a

522
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 3: little concientrated Sola.

523
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 4: Why do you think they've made some of the moves

524
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 4: they Charlie Morton walk because of what.

525
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: You just said.

526
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 3: It's the cap, that's my point.

527
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 5: And but the cap.

528
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 4: The problem with you're having a soft cap is you

529
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 4: don't have a soft floor, so you can't so other

530
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 4: teams should have to spend the month. That's the one

531
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 4: thing about the NBA. People say what they want. There's

532
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 4: like twelve men on the NBA that make like ten

533
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 4: million a year. Why because the team isn't trying, but

534
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 4: they have to spend a certain amount, so they go

535
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 4: sign the twelfth guy for like ten million. The guy's

536
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 4: like I get two minutes.

537
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 6: Never.

538
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 3: The biggest crime is that revenue sharing doesn't have to

539
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 3: be proven, not every penny with player payroll. So like

540
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 3: we just were talking about the Marlins last year, the

541
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 3: Marlins said, oh, we can't signed players because we're focusing

542
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 3: on hiring internal staff. Nobody on that internal staff is

543
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 3: making millions of dollars. And then this offseason we still

544
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 3: haven't seen anything. They already hired the internal staff. So

545
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 3: this is the kind of stuff we're talking about.

546
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 5: Zero major league players, right, zero.

547
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 3: The Marlins, yeah, last year they.

548
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 6: Signed one.

549
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 3: One for five mili t Yeah, and the Twins in

550
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: a two year span now haven't signed anyone over five

551
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: mil since. Obviously, they brought on Corey and they told Krey,

552
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 3: we're gonna we're going for it, this is our window.

553
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 6: And they spent what nine point two million since they

554
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 6: gave him the money and that promise. So not only

555
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 6: are they not trying, they're also liars. They lied to him.

556
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 3: That's why it just it pisses me off because I

557
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 3: just think the narrative is going the wrong way, and

558
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 3: I don't I don't give a crap. I'm sorry. If

559
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 3: you're if you're an ownership apologist, like, tell me why

560
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 3: you're defending Seattle Right now, no one has a real answer.

561
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: They can't sign one significant player, not one in an offseason.

562
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 6: And they're so close, they're not so close to the playoffs,

563
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 6: they're so close to winning the World Series. That's the

564
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 6: hard part. At least the Marlins just stink. Stink. The

565
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 6: White Sox think stink.

566
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 3: Back on FT with Ryan Yarborough, who might be texting

567
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 3: with a team right now, a free agent Ryan Yardborough. Ryan,

568
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 3: great to have you on, dude. Obviously we can have

569
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 3: fun with this. I don't know if you're aware, but

570
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 3: you're not alone. They're probably like one hundred people in

571
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 3: your spot that will be on a big league team

572
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 3: this year that unfortunately cannot book their spring training home

573
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 3: situation at the moment. How you doing, Bud Good?

574
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, it's a definitely crazy to think about

575
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 7: Spring training starts in three weeks right now for pitchers

576
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 7: and catchers, and we'll still know where we're going yet,

577
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 7: So it's pretty crazy to think about.

578
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 5: How does that work?

579
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 4: I mean, are you getting nervous yet? Because you're gonna

580
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,239
Speaker 4: find a job. But are you nervous yet? Is your

581
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 4: wife nervous? Is your mom and dad calling you saying.

582
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 5: Where are your ARBs?

583
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 6: Where are you gonna sign?

584
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 4: Because I know when I was a free agent and

585
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 4: once you hit like Christmas times the end sign everybody

586
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 4: every time they see you.

587
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 5: What do you're not playing next year? Does you retire?

588
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 5: Why haven't you signed with the Dodgers? Like every team,

589
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 5: every person.

590
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's uh, I feel like every new year comes

591
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 7: around and everything just rams up in general because you realize,

592
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 7: you know, the holidays are over, spring training starts in

593
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 7: a couple of weeks. But yeah, it's it's strange, you know.

594
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 7: I feel like it's harder on your family a little bit,

595
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 7: just because the drop of a hat, I could get

596
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 7: on a flight and tomorrow or in two days, where

597
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 7: you know, wife and kids, they got to figure out

598
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 7: all the logistics and kind of get everything ready packed

599
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 7: up for six seven months. So I feel like that's

600
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 7: the hardest part. But you just don't really know right now.

601
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 7: There's a lot of there's been an interest, but like

602
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 7: it's just kind of the waiting game. You get itchy,

603
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 7: but you know, like you said, it'll work out right now,

604
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 7: it's just kind of like you'd rather know sooner than

605
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 7: later to kind of get everything lined up and good

606
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 7: to go.

607
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 6: How much does your place cost extra for spring training?

608
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 6: Now that it's January twenty, they're just they're just they're

609
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 6: getting you. They're getting you on your last minute and

610
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 6: everyone's swooped up all the nice places already. So how

611
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 6: much extra I mean, got to cook that into your contract.

612
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 6: Be like, all right, I'll take eight million and fourteen

613
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 6: thousand dollars because that's how much extra my rent is

614
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 6: going to be when I get there.

615
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's you know, we paid some LA prices for

616
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 7: season out there, and you thought that was crazy. Uh. Yeah,

617
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,239
Speaker 7: the closer you get, the harder it becomes. You know,

618
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 7: being here in Tampa, there's luckily there's a few teams

619
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 7: around here that would be perfect situation. You can just

620
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 7: stay at home, but you know, realistically that's probably not

621
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 7: the easiest thing to happen with some other teams across

622
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 7: the state and in Arizona. So you know, we'll just

623
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 7: have to keep things pretty flowing pretty easily, you know,

624
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 7: like you just gotta play it by a year and

625
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 7: just hope something works out pretty well.

626
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 6: All right, this is probably way outside the box, and

627
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 6: your wife may say, tell that nerd to never ask

628
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 6: that again. But did you ever think about you're close,

629
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 6: you're close to a lot of teams. Do you ever

630
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 6: think about doing a house swap where you're like, hey, uh,

631
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 6: let's say Bregmant signs with the Yankees and you're like, hey,

632
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 6: you want to rent my house for spring training? I

633
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 6: know you're rich. I'll double the I'll double the cost,

634
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 6: like or that A is that a no fly zone? No?

635
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 7: I mean we a couple years ago we let a

636
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,959
Speaker 7: teammates stay here in Tampa. I mean it was kind

637
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 7: of a hike when he lived and he played for

638
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 7: the Tigers. So in Lakeland, I mean he was willing

639
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 7: to drive the forty five minutes to an hour, so

640
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 7: we just let him crash. Hear him and his wife,

641
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 7: So I mean someone wants to do that. I'm all

642
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 7: ears for that because you know it's gonna be a

643
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 7: nicer spot and you know, we uh, we feel like

644
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 7: we'd be comfortable letting people stay here and make that

645
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 7: pretty easy. So I'm all floor its. You got the connections,

646
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 7: christ So let me know, man, who was it with

647
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 7: the former team of mine, Matt Whistler. You know the Sliders.

648
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 5: I know Matt Whistler, Slider City.

649
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 4: Slader City went from a starting pitcher to old sladder

650
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 4: Bawler every picture, dude, he should have stayed Orlando bro

651
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 4: his uncle's Richard and hell living in Orlando, Jared, he

652
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 4: doesn't give him money, huh, rich house over here in Orlando.

653
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 3: I have a business proposal, Ryan, what it sounds like.

654
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: Arizona is obviously always the spot that the prices get

655
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 3: crazy and you can basically get a place and be

656
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: close enough to any ballpark, right versus Florida, where obviously

657
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 3: you need to know where you're gonna be. But I

658
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: do think it could be easier to get spots late.

659
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 3: Why not just get a spot, secure it in Arizona

660
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty chance that you use it. If not,

661
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 3: there's a hundred other people like you that you can

662
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 3: pass the batonto. I actually think it makes sense.

663
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, especially like you said, Arizona's just because you can

664
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 7: literally book anywhere around Phoenix and you could just make

665
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 7: it work, you know, thirty forty minute drive realistically, and

666
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 7: so that's easy. But yeah, I mean that's probably the

667
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 7: easiest play at that point, just because you got a

668
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 7: fifty to fifty chance of teams out there. So you know,

669
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 7: I haven't really thought about that. Probably my wife has

670
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 7: already thought about that, has been looking at places, who knows,

671
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 7: But you know, as long as they're comfortable, I mean

672
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 7: I could sleep anywhere. You know, we we do so

673
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 7: many different stops throughout the year and everything like that,

674
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 7: where it's just kind of wherever you can kind of

675
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 7: take a nap or get some sleep and get ready

676
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 7: to go the next day.

677
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 4: Listen, your wife is much nicer than mine. Okay, I'm

678
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 4: gonna say this right now. What because there is no chance,

679
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 4: on God's grief ever rent my house.

680
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 6: Oh, there's no chance. Any house I've ever lived in,

681
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 6: there's no chance.

682
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 4: You'd be like hey, I'd be like, hey, uh Ryan

683
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 4: Yarborough wants to come live in our house in spring

684
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 4: training and we're gonna be in Arizona.

685
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 5: She would be like, hell.

686
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 3: No, can he get the studio?

687
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 6: No, she would.

688
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 5: Never allow that ever. In a millionaires there's the urinal

689
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 5: here that doesn't matter. Still, it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter.

690
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 4: We oh man one time, yeah a player, Yeah it

691
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 4: was it was a it was a one time.

692
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 6: It happened.

693
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 4: If someone called me and I was like, no, not happening.

694
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 3: Wow, Well right, I have a place in downtown and

695
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 3: I'm not there half the time, so you're welcome to

696
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: use that if need be. But there are no teams

697
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 3: around here. Yeah, there you go all right, let me uh,

698
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 3: let me move.

699
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 5: To the club.

700
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 3: You've spent a good chunk of time with what do

701
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 3: you think of the Dodgers off season and fans complaining

702
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 3: that they're the only team that cares.

703
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 7: They're just you know, they're they're not waiting around, they're

704
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 7: not messing around for sure. You know, they kind of

705
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 7: seeing the guys they really like and they're just pulling

706
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 7: the trigger. So uh, you know, I'm I'm excited for them.

707
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 7: You know, I think there's all those guys that they

708
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 7: were kind of you're not surprised by. Even last year

709
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 7: you were talking to you know, my lockers right next

710
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 7: to Evan Phillips. I knew he was really close with

711
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 7: Tanner Scott and you're like, dude, what I would you

712
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 7: feel about that guy coming here next year? He's like, dude,

713
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,239
Speaker 7: Like I'm already trying to whisper a little bit, and

714
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 7: so like I knew he was, like and with how

715
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 7: nasty that guy's stuff was, and then everyone wants rookie,

716
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 7: so you know, and obviously bringing Tayo back and Snell,

717
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 7: you know, there's a connection there from Friedman and all

718
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 7: the raised guys years over there. So man it's it's

719
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 7: crazy to think about how deep they are and they're

720
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 7: basically you looked all the the young guys that are

721
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 7: gonna be in triple air up and down, and those

722
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 7: guys are good players too. And the fact that they're

723
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 7: kind of getting pushed out a little bit. It's it's

724
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 7: mind blowing.

725
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 6: Did you change your number? Did they not call you yet?

726
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 6: Did they not? Did they not want the Dodgers didn't

727
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 6: call you? Because if you change their number, I'll give it.

728
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 6: I'll give it to the doc or somebody so they

729
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 6: can make sure they call you.

730
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 7: No, they all got it. But you know, don't have

731
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 7: so many mouths of feet right now. Man, It's it's nuts.

732
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you're you're you don't even you don't even

733
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 6: eat that much. You're not you're not that big. You're

734
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 6: kind of on you're on the cut, You're you're skinny guy.

735
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 6: You won't eat that much. You won't even make that

736
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 6: big a deal. You just need a spot on twenty

737
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 6: six mans, right.

738
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 7: Just for me to eat some innings, you know, whenever

739
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 7: you need it. No big deal. Uh did that for

740
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 7: what four months with them last year? So they definitely

741
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 7: have a good understanding what I'm about but uh no,

742
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 7: it's it's one of those things where you know, just

743
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 7: waiting for the right opportunity. But you know, I mean

744
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 7: what they're doing over there is is crazy, the amount

745
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 7: of talent they're accumulating.

746
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 6: Talk about the Blue Jays because one of the things

747
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 6: that I brought up and got a little flak for

748
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 6: tell us you just lived it. The fact that when

749
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 6: you go to Toronto and your family, the girls are

750
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 6: you know, they're they're not afraid of traveling. They make

751
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 6: some flights. How much, honestly more difficult is it for

752
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 6: them traveling to and from Toronto because you just, like

753
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 6: you said, spring training, you're bringing your you know, you

754
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 6: can sleep anywhere. Your drop of a hat, you'll get

755
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 6: on a flight. You're on the team flight leaving Toronto.

756
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 6: How tough is it for them? Now in twenty twenty four,

757
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 6: you just you just saw it, saw it happen, You

758
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 6: just went through it.

759
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we're I think that was the craziest

760
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 7: part was anytime you get moved mid season, it's really

761
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 7: hard just because you literally have to pick up everything

762
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 7: and go and like ours was in like a two

763
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 7: or three day span and they ended up coming with

764
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 7: me and we met them in New York. We were

765
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 7: lucky enough, and I think that was the maybe the

766
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 7: toughest part about maybe with family it's going to Toronto

767
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 7: was we luckily had both of our daughters had passports

768
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 7: and they're three and one, which even I'm sure most

769
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 7: people with their kids don't necessarily have them, just because

770
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 7: you don't really think about unless you're just traveling in

771
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 7: the off season or anything. But we got them luckily.

772
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 7: When we said we had a with La, we went

773
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 7: and started the year in Korea, so we had like

774
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 7: this big like passport expos were like I might as

775
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 7: well like get the girls done like they're here, like

776
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 7: take advantage of it, because if that hadn't happened, like

777
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 7: they probably wouldn't be able to come see me at

778
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 7: all for those two months I was there. So we

779
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 7: were lucky in that aspect. But it's just an added

780
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 7: little layer of getting over the border. You know, they

781
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 7: try to make it as easy as possible, but it's

782
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 7: just still something you have to do every single time

783
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 7: you go there. It's just part of it. And then

784
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 7: there's just only certain airlines you can use getting in

785
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 7: and out because of just being in a different country,

786
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 7: so like fighting that where you have maybe more options

787
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 7: flying in the States, So just a little bit more

788
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 7: logistical things you have to take care of, and anytime

789
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 7: you do it mid season, it just makes things a

790
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 7: little bit more complicated and just kind of having to

791
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 7: stay on.

792
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 6: Top of things.

793
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 4: Right, and you're talking about Toronto and not a lot

794
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 4: of flights, but you were on the Rays for a

795
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 4: long time and also in Casey, Right, and then you

796
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 4: go to the Dodgers team with these guys, these show

797
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 4: Hey and Freddie and Mookie and the star studded people

798
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 4: that they had. What was the major biggest difference you

799
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 4: saw between the Rays following and the Dodgers following.

800
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 7: They traveled everywhere, like we literally were across the whole country,

801
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 7: and well, I mean early in the year. Those are

802
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 7: probably the coolest games I've been a part of whenever

803
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 7: you're playing in Division, especially because of the I mean,

804
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 7: I grew up in Florida. Here you don't really know

805
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 7: too much about it, hearing the beat La chants everywhere

806
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 7: no matter what the score is, and especially when we

807
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 7: went to San Diego, that's pretty incredible hostile environment coming

808
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 7: in as a Dodger player. Just the amount of like

809
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 7: support and like how they want bad they want to

810
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 7: beat you there. So those are really cool atmospheres. But yeah,

811
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 7: when we were I mean, that's just how Tampa is.

812
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 7: You'd have some people like everywhere you go, but like

813
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 7: it was like a whole different animal. Like we went

814
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 7: to Boston across the country and that was like, well

815
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 7: you can see a whole giant blue section in the stadium.

816
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 7: Like there's a certain like community I can't even remember.

817
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 7: It's like someone with the pants on blue or they

818
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 7: call themselves certain I don't want to butcher it, but

819
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 7: like they literally have a whole community that they travel

820
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 7: everywhere and they meet everywhere and they can all sit

821
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 7: together and have this community. So it was crazy how

822
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 7: they traveled and how extensively and how big of a

823
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 7: group that would travel everywhere.

824
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 6: You played in the Division against the Yankees. Now you

825
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 6: played with the Dodgers. Do you envision any time in

826
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 6: our lifetime or even in the next ten years that

827
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 6: more people start to follow the Dodgers than the Yankees

828
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,760
Speaker 6: because of what they're building out there.

829
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 7: I mean, with what they're doing right now, it's incredible

830
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 7: and I think, I mean, you probably could, especially with

831
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 7: how many like across the globe, especially with all the

832
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 7: three big name Japanese guys that they have on board,

833
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 7: and they obviously got the guy from Korea as well,

834
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 7: so they're broadening it and obviously their household name. Like

835
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 7: you think of Major League Baseball, there's a handful of

836
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 7: teams you can think of. Obviously the Yankees and Dodgers

837
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 7: are probably two of the bigger ones. So I mean, man,

838
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 7: especially with all the success they've had and the big

839
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 7: names are acquiring, it wouldn't surprise me by any means,

840
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 7: which is not to take away from anything. It's just

841
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 7: crazy what they've kind of been building and the amount

842
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 7: of talent I said, the talent that they're kind of accumulating.

843
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 3: Ryan, we'll talk to you. Of course, have to end

844
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 3: up signing with the ball club. But is there any

845
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 3: other insight that you can give us into your experience

846
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 3: throughout the off season here of what it's like to

847
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 3: be a free agent. I think the easiest way to

848
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 3: slices is that there are some guys who call their

849
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 3: agents every day. There are some guys who tell us

850
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,959
Speaker 3: they don't ask anything or want any phone calls until

851
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 3: they get a major league offer and most kind of

852
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 3: fall in between there with like the weekly check ins.

853
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 3: But how has your experience been, obviously without getting into

854
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 3: the team side of things until you sign.

855
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's I try to not bother my

856
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 7: agent too much about it. It's been one of those

857
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 7: things where he'll we've kind of talked about. It's like, hey,

858
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 7: like if I get a new information or you know,

859
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 7: when a certain team reaches out, like I'll let you

860
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 7: know and kind of what the talks are about and

861
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 7: kind of how they're gauging things. So we talk pretty

862
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 7: regularly in that end, like, hey, I heard from this

863
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 7: team for you, like and there this is done at

864
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 7: the interest level. They're they're talking to you right now.

865
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 7: So but I'm not I try not to be like, hey,

866
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 7: what have we got, you know, because there's so many

867
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 7: things out there already, like of all the rumors and everything,

868
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 7: like just from players in general. So but no, I

869
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 7: think it's been a little so just trying. I had

870
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 7: a little bit experience because I got an intent nontended

871
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 7: a couple of years ago, so you have that, like

872
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 7: it is free agency, but like you're still part of

873
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 7: the system in a way. Once you get signed, so

874
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 7: and that ended up happening pretty quickly, So like that

875
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 7: was not like having to play the waiting game, where

876
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 7: this is like a little bit more extensive and trying

877
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 7: to like just find the waiting for your opportunity and

878
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 7: your market to kind of start being created. So it's

879
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 7: just a lot of waiting and trying to focus on

880
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 7: like your lifts and your bullpens and preparing for that way,

881
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 7: but like just letting things kind of play out until

882
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 7: you'll end up in the right spot.

883
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 4: Do you prepare any differently not knowing where you're going?

884
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 4: Because do you change your bullpen schedule? Do you change

885
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 4: your lifting schedule? Because if you're already with the team,

886
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 4: a lot of teams reach out and say, hey, you know,

887
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 4: we need you to be ready to go for here,

888
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 4: for there or whatever it is. So do you change

889
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 4: anything because you don't know where you're going right now?

890
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 7: Uh No, But it is a good point because like

891
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 7: then teams will say, hey, we want you to kind

892
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 7: of stretch out or a certain bit or be it.

893
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 7: This ending is by the end of spring training, Luckily,

894
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 7: like I end up being more of a guy who's

895
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 7: been stretched out anyways over camp every year in my career.

896
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 7: So I'm just trying to keep it that the same

897
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 7: where I'm just worrying about building up and throwing like

898
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 7: eight to ten bullpens, whatever it might be. You know,

899
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 7: just like trying to work back where it's okay being

900
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 7: into camp so I can be ready to go, because

901
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 7: normally you throw a couple of lo VP's right when

902
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 7: you get to camp. So just thinking at it in

903
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 7: that regard, and then obviously whenever you sign, you'll really

904
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 7: get those talks and kind of how you really want

905
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 7: to jump start it, make sure you're you're good to

906
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 7: go right when camp starts.

907
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 6: One of the things I hear from fans all the time,

908
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 6: well why didn't you go and play for this team?

909
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 6: It's like, well they never called if you had it

910
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 6: your way? Is there a team of the of the

911
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 6: ones you haven't played for that you're like, this is intriguing.

912
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 6: I always played against them, or I love that city

913
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:26,479
Speaker 6: or my wife is from there, or I really hate

914
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 6: this team. I want to never play for them. What

915
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 6: is there a team that you want to play for

916
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 6: that You're like, hen, I hope they call, man, you know.

917
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 7: Honestly, I haven't really had that thought was we've weirdly

918
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 7: had like like you said, I've played for the Raised,

919
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 7: Kansas City, LA, and Toronto, so we've literally done East coast, midwest,

920
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 7: West coast in a different country. So like across you know,

921
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 7: the league, we can you know, we can make that work,

922
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 7: you know, across the country. So we've always just looked

923
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 7: at it as best opportunity, especially with these new rules.

924
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 7: It's like you kind of see all the places. I

925
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 7: know everyone thinks it's kind of a cop out, but

926
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 7: any kind of a boring answer, but you know, you

927
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 7: just want to go where you have a good opportunity

928
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 7: to kind of have some success and you know, play

929
