1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. Like I've always said, it's never too 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: early to talk trades on this channel. It's April seventh, 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: and we got ourselves a trade to bite into, the 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: Brewers acquiring Quinn Priester for prospect, your Ferry Rodriguez, a 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: competitive balance pick and a player to be named later, 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: along with some cash. Now, when it comes to the Brewers, 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: so far this year, they're pitching has been absolutely mangled. 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: They got a lot of guys on the IL as 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: of right now, their rotation is in shambles. You know, sure, 10 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: you got Freddy perraulta, you got a couple of guys 11 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: doing some things here. But look at all the guys 12 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: they have on the IL here. You know, Nestor Cortez 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: recently getting a bit of an elbow problem, Savali with 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: a hamstring issue, Aaron Ashby not too long ago, d L. 15 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: Hall who they got last year for Corbyn Burns, Brandon 16 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: Woodruff still trying to make his way back. They got 17 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: a lot of injuries right now, and the Brewers are 18 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: trying to get as much pitching as they can. Now. 19 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: When it comes to Quinn Priester, you know this is 20 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: a guy former first round pick eighteenth pick overall back 21 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, just hasn't fully been able to find 22 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,639 Speaker 1: his way within the Pirates organization and the Red Sox 23 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: organization for the past you know, eight months or so. 24 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: You know, when it comes to Quinn Priester, this is 25 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: a guy where if he can get the VLO up 26 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, try and up that stuff, 27 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: I think this is a guy that could take the 28 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: next step. Still only twenty four years old. As you 29 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: can see here, you know, he does very well at 30 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: limiting the barrels. He gets a lot of ground balls, 31 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: he does walk a lot of guys, but as you 32 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: can see, you know, only averages around ninety three miles 33 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: an hour on the fastball velocity. He's not really getting 34 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: a whole lot of swing and miss barely any strikeouts. Really, so, 35 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: Quinn Priester, you know, if the Brewers can figure something 36 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: out with him, this could be a big get for them, 37 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: considering how bad the starting pitching has gotten with them 38 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to the injury front. Now taking a 39 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: look at the trade overall, now, the Brewers, because of 40 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: their low leverage situation here, you know, they're desperate for 41 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: starting pitching. They had to give up a decent amount 42 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: in this trade, So Quinn Breester going to the Brewers 43 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: and to the Red Sox, I think they did very 44 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: well here. Excuse Draftnick, Robbie, but I really think they 45 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: did a great job here. They got a pretty solid 46 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: prospect in your Fery Rodriguez, number seven in their system 47 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: on MLB Pipeline, number fifteen on Baseball America. And they 48 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: also got a competitive balance pick which is gonna be 49 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: in the thirty range. I believe, thirty third overall in 50 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five draft. This is a huge win 51 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: for the Red Sox in my opinion. Now, it definitely 52 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: could be a win for the Brewers as well if 53 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: they can find a way to get Priester to take 54 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: that next step. But they've done pretty well with young 55 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: pictures in the past to get more out of them. 56 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: I think that could end up being a good home 57 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: for him. But like I said, the Red Sox here, 58 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: I think they did really well. But they had a 59 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: lot of leverage to play with here, because the Brewers 60 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,839 Speaker 1: are desperate now taking a look here at your Ferry Rodriguez. 61 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: You know, when we're taking a look at the scouting report, 62 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: this guy's a pretty decent hitter as a fifty five 63 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: hit tool. He has pretty solid play discipline for the 64 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: most part. He's not really getting chase outside of the 65 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: own has a pretty good swing from the left side, 66 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: makes pretty good contact overall. He just needs to up 67 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: the power a little bit. You need to see a 68 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: bit more thump with the bat. You know, maybe the 69 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: Red Sox, you know, with their history of getting more 70 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: out of position players, maybe they could figure something out 71 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: with him. But this is a guy that also has 72 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: some pretty good speed. He's a pretty decent outfielder for 73 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: the most part, more of a corner outfield projection down 74 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: the road. But also, you know, I think for the 75 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: Red Sox here the fact that you know, someone like 76 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony one of the top prospects in the game. 77 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: He is going to be graduating from the minor league 78 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: levels soon. So I think this is a good young prospect, 79 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: good young outfield prospect to get back into their system, 80 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: you know, especially with Anthony going to the major leagues 81 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: pretty soon. It also clears up a forty man spot 82 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: for the Red Sox, you know, getting Quinn Priester off 83 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: of the forty man roster. So overall, I think The 84 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Red Sox did very well in getting a prospect like 85 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: this who could have himself a pretty decent ceiling, but 86 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: they also got a competitive balance pick for the draft. 87 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: The draft, you know, when you take a look here 88 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: at guys like Christian Campbell, he was a competitive balance pick. 89 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: You know, you are getting so much more talent in 90 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: the draft now. I think every year the draft is 91 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: just getting more and more important, especially with how talented 92 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: these guys are at such a young age coming out 93 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: of high school. You know, guys that are in college. 94 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: You know, you take a guy out of college and 95 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: this is a guy that could help you at the 96 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: major league level, you know, within a year. I mean, 97 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: these guys are so talented. And look what Christian Campbell 98 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: is doing already out of Georgia Tech just a couple 99 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: of years ago. Again a competitive balance pick. But the 100 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: Red Sox they have a good history of competitive balance picks. 101 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony they got him as compensation. Michael Kopek was 102 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: a competitive balance pick, and remember they used him in 103 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: the Chris Sale trade. Who ended up being great for 104 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Jackie Bradley Junior, he was a competitive 105 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: balance pick, helped them win the World Series in twenty eighteen. 106 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: Jacoby Ellsbury, he was compensation, helped them win the World 107 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: Series in two thousand and seven and twenty thirteen. Remember 108 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: Clay Buckles, you know, this is one of their you know, 109 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: top pitching prospects back in the day. He ended up 110 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: helping the Red Sox. He was very good in twenty 111 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: thirteen before getting hurt, but ended up helping them in 112 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: the postseason in twenty thirteen to win the World Series. 113 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: So the Red Sox, they have a very good history 114 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: with these picks and the fact that you've got a 115 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: pretty good outfield prospect in your Ferry Rodriguez. Who's not 116 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: going to help replenish the farm system, especially when Roman 117 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: Anthony comes up to the major league level and you 118 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: get a competitive balance pick. I mean, my goodness, I 119 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: think the Red Sox did extremely well. And here this 120 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: doesn't even include the player to be named later or 121 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: the cash so I mean, take a look at the 122 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: values here. You know, Quinn Priester, he's gonna have a 123 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: little bit of value, but as of right now, he's 124 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: considered more as an organizational depth guy. You know, like 125 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: I said, maybe the Brewers can get a little bit 126 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: more out of him. But you know, you got to 127 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: say the Red Sox won this trade here, at least 128 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: as of right now, I think they did very good here. 129 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: You know, when it comes to the Red Sox right now, 130 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not, you know, trying to go Draftnick 131 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 1: Robbie on everyone right now, but vibes are very good 132 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: for the Red Sox right now, playing great baseball here 133 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 1: in the early going. You signed Alex Bregman of the offseason, 134 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: you trade it for Garrett Crochet signed him to an extension, 135 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: just got an extension done for Christian Campbell eight years 136 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: and then a couple of club options on top of that. 137 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: The Red Sox are just doing a lot of good things. 138 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: They're pushing all the right buttons right now, and I 139 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: think they did absolutely fantastic in this trade. And hopefully 140 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: for the Brewers, you know, Quinn Priester can be a 141 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: guy that can finally find his way there, and the 142 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,799 Speaker 1: Brewers they've shown they can get that out of guys 143 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: in the past. But everybody, let me know your thoughts 144 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: on this trade, you know, tell me your thoughts here. 145 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: Do you think the Red Sox won this trade? Do 146 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: you think the Brewers are going to end up on 147 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: top down the road. You know, tell me what you 148 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: think about Priester with the Brewers. Do you think you 149 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: can help get the pitching back on track in Milwaukee? 150 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: What do you think about the Red Sox hall here? 151 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: I think again, this is a great trade for the 152 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: Red Sox. And also while I'm here, I got to 153 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: talk about the Vlad Junior extension with the Blue Jays. Now, 154 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: I had dreams of Lad Junior being in a Red 155 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: Sox jersey for years to come, hitting moonshow over the 156 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: Green Monster at Femway Park. But I'm very glad the 157 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: Blue Jays got this done. Fourteen years, five hundred million dollars. 158 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: They needed to get this done, and I'm glad they 159 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: figured it out. And it just goes to show, you know, 160 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: never trust when a guy says he's got a deadline. 161 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 1: Remember I Vlad Junior had a deadline going into spring training. 162 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: But you know, that's just leverage at the end of 163 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: the day. It kind of makes me think. Also, you 164 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: know Bob Nightingale putting out that tweet saying, you know, 165 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: close friends of Ladd Junior said that he would love 166 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: to play for the Red Sox. It's all leverage at 167 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: the end of the day, Ladies and gentlemen, it's all 168 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: negotiation tactics at the end of the day. But again, 169 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm glad they figured this out. I want more players 170 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: to be signing extensions with their team, you know, homegrown talent. 171 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: I think they need to stay with their teams. Man, 172 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: it just makes such a big difference when it comes 173 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: to just the fan base. You know, it's just massive, Man, 174 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: keep your stars. Lad Junior one of the best players 175 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: of Major League Baseball. This guy with the bat is 176 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: going to be an absolute force for years to come. 177 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: Only twenty six years old, you know, this is the 178 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: guy the Blue Jays needed to hang on to to 179 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: keep him in the middle of the order. But it 180 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: gives them their star player for years to come. You know, 181 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: if they had lost Lad Junior to, say, the Red 182 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: Sox in Division, I mean, like what a blow that 183 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: would have been to the Blue Jays, not only losing 184 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: your best hitter, one of the best hitters in baseball, 185 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: but losing him to the Red Sox in division. You know, 186 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: even if he went to the Mets, I mean, my goodness, 187 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: it's like, you can't lose a player like this. I'm 188 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: just glad the Blue Jays got it done here. It 189 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: is a massive contract, fourteen years, five hundred million dollars, 190 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: aav of twenty eight point five million dollars per year. 191 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: You know, I was seeing a lot of people saying, oh, 192 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna get one Sodo money. No, Blad Junior was 193 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: not going to get anywhere near wan Sodo money. At 194 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: the end of the day, he is a first baseman. 195 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: You know, let's see what he's doing here. In about 196 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: five six years, he's still going to be at first base. Well, 197 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: he dh more often. You just have to wait and see. 198 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: But it is going to be starting at thirty five 199 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: point seven million at starting in twenty twenty six, so 200 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: he is going to see a bit of a pay 201 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: bump there, and then for this year it's at twenty 202 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: eight point five. So for Vlad, you know, big win 203 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: for him. I'm glad, you know he was able to 204 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: get his contract and you know, and hopefully the Blue 205 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: Jays they can start making more moves to really build 206 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: around him. They had a pretty good offseason. They just 207 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: got to find a way to keep it going. They 208 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: got to get that farm system replenished a little bit. 209 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: But in the end, it's a good win for the 210 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: Blue Jays here and very happy for Vlad
