1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Cage would I cannot wait to see you in a 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Dodgers uniform. 3 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 2: A lot of all right. 4 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 3: Could give you week I can't give your doork of 5 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 3: the week just for that last comment. Hello, everyone, welcome 6 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 3: to the Thursday edition of Fair Territory. I'm Ken Rosenthal 7 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 3: here with a lot of rizzo, a lot of good 8 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 3: to be with you. Happy June teenth to everyone, and 9 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 3: what we have to discuss today are some rather interesting 10 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 3: developments in some races that I would say were unanticipated. 11 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: Go Ahea's funny that you say that, Ken, because we 12 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: thought that the New York Yankees were gonna run away 13 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: with the Al East. It looked like they were going 14 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: to do so, but it seems that we actually have 15 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: a much closer race in that division. 16 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 3: We do, and it's all because the Yankees have a 17 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 3: six game losing streak and the Blue Jays and the 18 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 3: Rays in particular are playing well. The Rays of one, 19 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 3: twenty of twenty seven, the Yankees have lost six straight. 20 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 3: And let's show you the difference in the standings from 21 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 3: one week ago until today in the AL East, because 22 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 3: it's rather striking. Here are the Yankees still leading the division, 23 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 3: but at the same time on June twelfth, they had 24 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: a four and a half game lead over Toronto, a 25 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 3: six game lead over Tampa Bay. Okay, let's look at 26 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: today and what this looks like, because it is rather different. 27 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 3: Tampa Bay was six out, now one and a half out. 28 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 3: Toronto just two out, just swept the Arizona Diamondbacks. So 29 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 3: we have a race, and we have a race in 30 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 3: large part because the Yankees have stopped hitting inexplicably. They 31 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: still lead the American League in runs per game, and 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 3: yet over the past week Ilana, they have scored seven 33 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 3: runs in seven games. I want to show you the 34 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 3: difference in their offensive output over the last week because 35 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 3: it's so dramatically different from where they were for the 36 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 3: rest of the season. Here it is first sixty six games, 37 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: five and a half runs per game. That's a productive, 38 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: robust offense. Last seven games, one run per game. That's 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 3: going to get it done a lota. 40 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: Now that offense is offensive. Ken Rosenthal, the Yankees, I 41 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: always feel we'll get things going, but it has been 42 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: horrible for them the last week and change. So we 43 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: talked about the Yankee slumping, but they're not the only ones. 44 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 4: Ken. 45 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: If you take a look from the al east to 46 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: the NL west. Both the San Diego Padres and the 47 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: Arizona Diamondbacks, who you just mentioned were swept by the 48 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays. They seem to be on a downward spiral. 49 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: What's going on with them? 50 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 3: It's so interesting, Alana, because at the start of the season, 51 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 3: remember the NLS teams, even the Giants could include them 52 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: in this particularly discussion, they all came out firing, they 53 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 3: all came out really hot. And yet since about mid April, 54 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 3: both the Diamondbacks and the Padres really haven't played all 55 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 3: that well. They've been below five hundred. I want to 56 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 3: show you what I'm talking about here because it's kind 57 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: of again striking to see what these teams have sort 58 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,839 Speaker 3: of disintegrated to since mid April. What we're talking about 59 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 3: with Padres and the Giants are again two sub five 60 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 3: hundred teams. Here we go, Padres since April fourteenth, twenty 61 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 3: five and thirty two Diamondback since April seventeenth. Then yes, 62 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: I'm picking random dates twenty four and thirty and with 63 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: these teams have in common, Alana. And what is so 64 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: interesting to me about this situation with both they both 65 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 3: have two starting pitchers that are eligible for free agency 66 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 3: that are really good Zach Gallen and Merrill Kelly for Arizona, 67 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 3: though Gallon isn't having the best of years. Dylan Cees 68 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: and Michael King for the Padres, though King is currently 69 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: injured and not expected back until the All Star break. 70 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 3: So you might ask, Okay, are these teams looking at selling. No, 71 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: they're not looking at selling, and one reason is the 72 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: National League wild card standings are rather close. If you 73 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: look at the standings and how they are bunched together 74 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 3: the teams that are involved, it's pretty revealing as well, 75 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: and it will tell you why these teams are not 76 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: going to necessarily concede. Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen has 77 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: already said, we consider ourselves buyers. We don't plan to 78 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: sell now. They could buy and sell. They could trade 79 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: a Juheno Suarez, open up third base for Jordan Lawler 80 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 3: rather easily. That's not a problem, and that would be 81 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 3: a buy cell type move. You're selling, but you're also 82 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: maybe buying some other things. They need bullpen. But the 83 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 3: Diamondbacks they just placed today Gabriel Moreno on the injured 84 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 3: list along with Corbyn Burns, along with Justin Martinez and 85 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 3: so many others. They're in a tough spot. They've been 86 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 3: very streaky, they haven't played all that well. Corbyn Carroll, 87 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 3: I'm sorry got hit on the hand last night. We'll 88 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: have to see how that goes. And then there are 89 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: the Padres. And the Padres still have some of the 90 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 3: best players in the game, Tatisan Machado and Jackson Merrill 91 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: when he is healthy, but their depth is not what 92 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: it was, and their rotation without King and you Darvish, 93 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: they were lying on some inexperienced pitchers. And then you 94 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: look at left field. That's a hole. The bench needs reinforcement. 95 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: So I don't expect aj Preller ever to sell. And 96 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 3: right now the Padres hold the third wild card position. 97 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 3: They should not be even thinking along those lines. The 98 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 3: question is, with a farm system that is not as 99 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 3: strong as it once was, can he buy effectively? Can 100 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: he plug his holes? And can the Padres be this 101 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 3: wrecking ball that they were early in the season. Jurry 102 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 3: is out on both these clubs. 103 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike Haysen certainly isn't the selling type. We know 104 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: aj Preller loves to move and shake. He's always a buyer, 105 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: especially they're still in this thing, Ken, So we'll see 106 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: what the Padres do. I did want to make one correction, 107 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: a mistake that I made. The Arizona Diamondbacks have lost 108 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: the first two games of the series against the Toronto 109 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: Blue Jays. Not quite a sweep yet by the Blue Jays, 110 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: but they have effectively won that series. With the Diamondbacks, 111 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: all right, talking about earlier the Tampa Bay Rays and 112 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: how well they're playing, there is some movement in terms 113 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: of perhaps selling the team, Ken, what can you tell 114 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: us about that? 115 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 3: First of all, on it. Don't kick yourself for that mistake. 116 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 3: That was my mistake, So that's on me. 117 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I went with it. 118 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 3: Of the Tampa Bay Rays, we've been hearing rumors about 119 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 3: this for quite some time now, but they issued a 120 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: statement yesterday revealing that they are in exclusive discussions with 121 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 3: the Jacksonville home Builder to purchase the team. A couple 122 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: things are worth noting here. One, the Rays have kind 123 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 3: of gone down this road before, and having completed the sale, 124 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: this seems to be a little bit more advanced, a 125 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 3: little bit more serious than some of the other things 126 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: that they've explored. And the other thing is if they 127 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,239 Speaker 3: do get sold and the reported price is one point 128 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 3: seven billion. Where do they end up. I don't know 129 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 3: that anyone expects them to end up in Saint Petersburg, 130 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: which is, of course where they have played their entire existence. 131 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 3: Tampa would be the obvious possibility. Maybe Orlando as a 132 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 3: long shot, but one we have to see if the 133 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 3: sale goes through. Two, they have to be approved this 134 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: new group if this does go through by a Major 135 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: League Baseball's ownership. And then three the biggest question, where 136 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 3: do they play, how do they finance the stadium? What's 137 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 3: it going to look like? It's good news for the 138 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 3: Rays because, as I've written, while Stuart Sternberg has been 139 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 3: a good owner for them, they've competed under him. I 140 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: know he might not spend the way others do, but 141 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 3: he puts together a competitive team every single season, it seems. 142 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: But it just seems like they've gotten to the end 143 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 3: of the road with his ownership. They lost the deal 144 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 3: in Saint Petersburg for a stadium, They kind of backed 145 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 3: out of it, honestly, and he has been unable really 146 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 3: to ingratiate himself with officials in Tampa Bay. I'm sorry. 147 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,239 Speaker 3: In Tampa and Saint Petersburg, you could say Tampa Bay 148 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 3: to get a new deal done for a stadium, so 149 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: they need new ownership. We'll see if this step, obviously, 150 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 3: is one that gets taken to completion. 151 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: Ken is it interesting though, that he has had a 152 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: perennial contender really and doesn't spend a ton of money, 153 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: yet his team is valued at one point seven billion dollars. 154 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a team obviously that isn't known 155 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: for spending, but that's quite a hefty price tag. I mean, 156 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Dodgers were purchased back in twenty fourteen, 157 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: I believe for two billion, and here we are, you know, 158 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: with this unbelievable price tag for the Tampa Bay Rays. 159 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: One point seven billion is also what the Minnesota Twins 160 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 3: are asking, and it is a big price. At the 161 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: same time, a lota, as you know, to the Los 162 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 3: Angeles Lakers, sold to the Los Angeles Dodgers ownership group 163 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 3: yesterday for ten billion. That's where the valuation is on 164 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 3: that one. They took over a majority stake and that's 165 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 3: going to happen. So these things are all relative. But 166 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 3: when we're talking billions of dollars, let's just say the 167 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 3: industry is healthy and let me point out one more time, 168 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 3: and I will point this out repeatedly before the expiration 169 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 3: of the CBA in twenty twenty six. You tell me 170 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 3: why this sport needs to shut down when it's a 171 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 3: twelve billion dollar industry, when teams like the Tampa Bay 172 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 3: Rays are selling for one point seven billion. 173 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: Eight men to that, and there is your answer also 174 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: as to why teams can spend seven hundred million on 175 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: Shohyotani and why teams can spend seven sixty five on 176 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: Juan Soto because as much as the players get, the 177 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: owners have more, much more to come on Fair Territory 178 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: with Ken Rosenthal will be back right after this break 179 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: from our guys at Foul Territory. 180 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 5: It is summertime. We are in the thick of golf season. 181 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 4: It's always golf season down in Florida, but we're in 182 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 4: the thick of golf season across the country and someone's 183 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 4: looking to get a new club. 184 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 5: That logo should say it all PXG.

It's a free chat app. Go 206 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: to foul Territory dot chat. It's totally free. Join the conversation. 207 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: So we start there for justin Eyamas, why isn't there 208 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: more chatter about Gore Mackenzie Gore being traded than Nats 209 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: are terrible. I believe they've lost eleven in a row 210 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 1: and he's a free agent in two and a half 211 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: years with Scott Boris as an agent. 212 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 3: Justin you ask an excellent question, and I raised this 213 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 3: point in a calm a couple of weeks ago that 214 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 3: Mackenzie Gore is in the same service position service time 215 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 3: position as Juan Soto was when he was traded by 216 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: the Nationals two plus years remaining. That's when the Nationals 217 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: traded Sodo. Now, I don't expect them to even entertain Gore. 218 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: They're in the middle of this rebuild which has not 219 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 3: really gone all that well. To be perfectly honest, outside 220 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 3: of that one trade, Mike Rizzo's contract has to be 221 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 3: exercised the option in July, as does Davey Martinez is. 222 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: Their ownership has been rather disinterested and stagnant, and I 223 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 3: just don't see them taking that kind of step. That 224 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: would be an admission that this hasn't gone well and 225 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 3: they're trying to build, so they say, and they claim 226 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 3: it's getting better, So they say, I advise you to 227 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 3: read Ricuoli today in the athletic. 228 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a good point. Bridge really does a 229 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: tremendous job on that, and that is a good article, 230 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: all right. Daniel Rothenberg Ken Rosenthal says this, which team 231 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: should go all in this year, even if it means 232 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: trading their top prospects? 233 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 3: Basically win now, Daniel, we don't want to give any 234 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: heads of baseball operations nervous breakdowns, and the word gives 235 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 3: them a nervous breakdown. I'll give you one team that 236 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 3: I do expect to be aggressive, more aggressive than maybe 237 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 3: we would expect. That's the Cincinnati Reds. They've invested a 238 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 3: lot in this team already, they've got really good pitching, 239 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 3: They've got more pitching coming, and they're a team that 240 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 3: seems to be at least one bad way, but a 241 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: team with some promise. And with Terry Francona, you've invested 242 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 3: in him as a manager. I would expect they're going 243 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: to do some things. But no team goes all in anymore. 244 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 3: That kind of thing doesn't happen because it's frankly too risky, 245 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 3: and most heads of baseball operations are risk averse. 246 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: Hm, risk averse. That's an interesting phrase, all right. A 247 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: question from our YouTube chat Ken Rosenthal, this one in 248 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: regards to the Houston Astros. Hope you can see that 249 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: chat come up here. Louis Cortes says, how are the 250 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: Astros still winning? I asked myself this question all the time, Louise. 251 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: They have half of their roster on the IL, and 252 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: they don't have Kyle Tucker, and they don't have Alex Bregman, 253 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: and they don't have Ken. How are they doing it? 254 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 3: Louise. I'm glad you brought this up because I wanted 255 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 3: to mention the Astros in the lead segment, and frankly 256 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 3: I forgot. This is a team that now has a 257 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 3: five and a half game lead in the American League 258 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 3: American League West, and because the Yankees have stumbled, they 259 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 3: now have the second best record in the American League period, 260 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 3: without your Don Alvarez, without Bregman and Tucker, as you 261 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 3: just mentioned, with a number of pitchers on the injured 262 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 3: list as well. What they've gotten is good work from 263 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 3: the bottom of their lineup, guys like Dubon and Cam 264 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 3: Smith and Janer Diaz of course, but it's been surprise. 265 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 3: It's kind of amazing what they do year after year. 266 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 3: It's like you can't kill them no matter what you do. 267 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 3: They keep coming back. And good for the Astros. They're 268 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 3: playing really well and shame on the rest of the 269 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 3: Aos for allowing this all to happen. 270 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like a cockroach. Ken. They just won't die. 271 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: Those Houston Astros, they just won't die. There is not 272 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: a can of raid big enough for the Houston Astros. 273 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: They always win. Obviously a very very good club. All right, 274 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: Next question is in regards to extension talks, if you 275 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: will for certain players. Bubbs wants to know question for 276 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: Grill and Ken and a time where we're seeing more 277 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: extensions of young star players, i e. Bobby Witt junior, 278 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: who do you think is a prime candidate for a 279 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: big extension? He's thinking of Donovan for Saint Louis Donovan. 280 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: Brendan Donovan is a really good player and certainly someone 281 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 3: I would think the Cardinals would want to keep and extend. 282 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 3: He's not necessarily young, but he's a guy that, yes, 283 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: is outstanding. Extension talk is interesting because a year ago 284 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 3: you would have said, Hey, the Orioles have to extend 285 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 3: Adlie Rutchman, ADLEI Rutchman, He's come on a little bit 286 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 3: of late, But that question now is kind of an 287 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 3: open question. So I don't necessarily see anyone with the 288 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 3: Orioles getting extended, though their fans would like that to happen. 289 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 3: Gunner Henderson represented by Scott Boris, he could be the 290 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: next big contract that Boris negotiates. Off the top of 291 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 3: my head, I can give you any number of players 292 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 3: who could be worth extensions. Certainly a guy like Elie 293 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 3: Dela Cruz would qualify, But I don't know that we're 294 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 3: going to get anything like that done at this point 295 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 3: of the season. This is the time of the year 296 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 3: when it's trade talk. Actually it's draft talk. First. The 297 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 3: draft is at the All Star break. Then you hear 298 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 3: more trade talk. Extensions generally are negotiated during the offseason 299 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 3: and especially as we get into the arbitration period in 300 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 3: January and February. 301 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: All Right, Video Game Nation, great handle here on the 302 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,359 Speaker 1: Utibe Tube. Chat Ken wants to know this. It's regarding 303 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: the San Francisco Giants. We all know Dever's now a Giant. 304 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: They're going to meet up this weekend with the Boston 305 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: Red Sox. Do you think the Giants can make another 306 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: blockbuster trade at the deadline. Basically, Buster Posey moving and shaking. 307 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: Is he done. 308 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 3: I had a GM point out to me yesterday Alana 309 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 3: that the Dever's trade is probably the biggest trade we're 310 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 3: going to see before the deadline. I thought that was 311 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 3: a reasonably intelligent thing to say and a good way 312 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 3: to look at it. I don't know that Buster Posey, 313 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 3: as President Baseball Operations with the Giants, needs to make 314 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 3: another blockbuster trade. They've got lineup balance, now, they've got 315 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 3: the slugger that they needed with Devers. They're pitching has 316 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 3: been excellent all season. Verlander came back last night. It 317 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: was just okay, Buddy's back. I don't know that they 318 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 3: need to do anything major. They're probably going to play 319 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 3: pretty much with the team that they have, maybe tweak 320 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 3: a little bit at the deadline, but they made one blockbuster. 321 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 3: I don't know that they need to make another. 322 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, as a Dodger fan, I hope that they don't. 323 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: But that's neither here nor there. I know nobody was 324 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: asking me about that, all right. Next question here is 325 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: in regards to the Saint Louis Cardinals, and it isn't 326 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: regards of course, to Nolan Ronado. I feel like this 327 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: kid's name has come up every single time. Not so 328 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,239 Speaker 1: much a kid anymore, But John Shank wants to know. 329 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: Are there any contending teams that would want to trade 330 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: for Nolan Arenado? 331 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 3: Depends on the price, And clearly Arnado has a no 332 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 3: trade clause. Let's not forget that, so he can direct 333 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 3: his fate in a way that honestly, Raphael Devers could not. 334 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: Devers did not have a no trade clause. Arnado is 335 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 3: still an elite defensive third baseman. He's not quite the 336 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 3: hitter he once was, of course, and yes, there are 337 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 3: teams that could use him. But the question becomes, Okay, 338 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 3: what about the remaining dollars? How are those dollars divided 339 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,959 Speaker 3: between the trading team and the acquiring team, And as well, 340 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 3: what are you giving up in terms of prospects? That 341 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 3: is the expectation of any team entering talks for an 342 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 3: Arnado or any player with a big contract. So it 343 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 3: seems to me it would be possible. The Cardinals have 344 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 3: slid back now, They're not quite where they were, They're 345 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 3: still in the middle of the NL wildcard race. But 346 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 3: if you're looking at this realistically, are they going to 347 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 3: win the World series this year, probably not. They're getting 348 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 3: ready for him Bloom to take over as Baseball head 349 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 3: of operations. They should be looking at it Arnaudo trade. 350 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 3: Whether they get one done or not remains to be seen. 351 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: Every year the question comes up, is Nolan Arnatto going 352 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: to be traded? Where is he going to go? Is 353 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: it going to be before the season, at the deadline, in 354 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: the offseason? What's happening? All right? Final question here on 355 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: Grill and Ken from Mason windu Ken. With the CBA 356 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: expiring after next season, are we going to see more 357 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: teams avoid free agent signings and contract extensions until a 358 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: new collective bargaining agreement is in place? 359 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 3: Very good question, and I don't know the answer, but 360 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 3: my expectation is that nothing will change. Teams will operate 361 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 3: business as usual because frankly, they have to put their 362 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 3: best possible teams together. They're going to be to do that. 363 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 3: Might some teams refrain, Yeah, it's possible, because certainly with 364 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 3: the new CBA, regardless of whether the owners get their 365 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 3: beloved salary cap or not, there will be almost certainly 366 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 3: new rules in place or tweaks to the current structure. 367 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 3: That said, generally speaking, you don't see teams necessarily back 368 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 3: off when a CBA is coming. You remember a couple 369 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 3: of years ago actually going into twenty two CBA when 370 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 3: they had that deadline, we all knew the lockout was coming, 371 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 3: and teams went crazy signing players. That's when the Rangers 372 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 3: signed Seeger and Simeon. So I don't expect anything really 373 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 3: to change. 374 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: All right, much more to come on foul territory or 375 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: fair territory rather with Ken Rosenthal, we're gonna do Dude 376 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: and Dork of the Week right after this. 377 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 5: It might be that time. 378 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 4: If you're looking for a new car, there's one place 379 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 4: to go that is going to take care of you, 380 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 4: and it's car Gurus. 381 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 6: Yeah, looking for a car should be fun, not exhausting. 382 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 6: Everywhere else it's exhausting.

Doogie Howser is the 403 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: name I was looking for? Who is your dude? 404 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 3: Buster Posey Giants president of baseball operations. Now you can 405 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 3: talk about how he took all the money here, the 406 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty five million remaining on Dever's contract. 407 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 3: You can talk about, oh my gosh, he even gave 408 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 3: up assets while taking on that money for players. Guess 409 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 3: what The Giants for years, for years, have struggled to 410 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 3: find a slugger, to get one to come to San Francisco. 411 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 3: This was the avenue to do it, the way to 412 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 3: do it. He did it. More power to him. Buster 413 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 3: Posey to me is a very worthy dude of the 414 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 3: week because he showed something that not a lot of 415 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 3: heads of Baseball operations show. He showed boldness, guts. 416 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: Yes, he showed guts, and that moxie. They missed out 417 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: on show, Heytani. They missed out on Aaron Judges. They 418 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: were missed out on a lot of folks. They got 419 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: Rafael Devers. All right, My dude of the week is 420 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: a younger man, m As cage Wood of the Arkansas Razorbacks. 421 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: He threw the third no hitter in College World Series history. Ken. 422 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: He did it on on one hundred and nineteen pitches. 423 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: He struck out nineteen batters. The only base runner was 424 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: a hit batsman in the eighth. It was the first 425 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: no hitter since nineteen sixty. Then LSU went on to 426 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: eliminate Arkansas last night. But that's okay. The Tigers are 427 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: going to face Coastal Carolina in the College World Series Final. 428 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: It starts on Saturday. But cage Wood, I cannot wait 429 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: to see you in a Dodgers uniform. 430 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 3: All right. 431 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: For the John Fishner dork of the week. 432 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: A lot of all right, week, I could give you 433 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 3: dog of the Week just for that last comment, but 434 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 3: I will not be with the Baltimore Oriols last night 435 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 3: did something historic. They blew and eight nothing lead, lost 436 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 3: to the Tampa Bay Rays twelve to eight. And I 437 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 3: want to show you just how historic this was, because 438 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 3: our friends at Opti Stats came up with an amazing 439 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 3: way to describe how this loss was so just shocking. 440 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 3: All right, here's what they said. There have been over 441 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 3: four hundred and fifty instances in the modern era of 442 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 3: an MLB team allowing eight plus runs in an inning 443 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: to open the game scoring going down eight nothing. Only 444 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 3: one of those teams allowed no runs or hits the 445 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 3: rest of the way and came back to win. That 446 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 3: team was the Tampa Bay Rays Rays baseball last night. Now, 447 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 3: the Orioles were the team that had no runs or 448 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 3: hits after going up eight nothing. You lose twelve eight. 449 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 3: You're talking about how we're trying to get back in 450 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 3: the race. No, no, no, no, no. Dorks of the Week, 451 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 3: you cannot do that. Get no runs after four and 452 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 3: eight go ahead. 453 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 1: Long, Yeah, that's unbelievable, My dork of the Week is 454 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: the both sides of the Red Sox and Raphael Dever's equation, 455 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: the way that this has been handled the entire season 456 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: into coming into the season when they signed Alex Bregmann, 457 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: didn't really communicate that with Rafael Devers, the whole situation 458 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: about how all of this has gone public, how Rafael 459 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: Devers then gets traded to the San Francisco Giants, and 460 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: then how he says that he's willing to play anywhere 461 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: on the field as long as it helps the team win. 462 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: The whole it's just a mess. The whole situation is 463 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: just an absolute disaster. You know, there's a lot of 464 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: different reports about things that actually happened, things that didn't happen, 465 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: But I tell you, it's just messy. It's ugly. The 466 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox fan base is unbelievably upset. Good for 467 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: the Giants, bad for the Red Sox, and it just 468 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: seems to be a pattern, as you had so eloquently 469 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: talked about on foul Territory, how the Red Sox getting 470 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: rid of star players and fan favorites is a pattern. Obviously, 471 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: Mookie Betts Xander Bogart's not getting him back, and now 472 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: Rafael Devers. The whole situation is just awful, all right. 473 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: A little bit more to come on Fair Territory with 474 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: Ken Rosenthal. For now, we will say goodbye to our 475 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: friends watching over on nesson Sports at Pittsburgh and nesson Nation. 476 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: We're going to say bye for now, all right. So 477 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: those of you still with us, Hello, Hello, Hello, don't 478 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: forget Ken that we can see a live Friar Territory 479 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: episode following last night's ninth inning loss to the Dodgers' 480 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: former padres, Mike Cameron and Heath Bell joined Friar Territory 481 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: episodes each week.

Okay, 485 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: your early thoughts, Ken, you're gonna be on the East 486 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: Coast this week for your game with Fox. Your early 487 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: thoughts on the Mets and the Phillies. A good division battle. 488 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 3: Well, it's very interesting to see where these teams are 489 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 3: right now, Alana, because the Mets, of course, through the 490 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,479 Speaker 3: early part of the season. Their rotation carried them. Suddenly 491 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 3: they're in a bit of a rotation crisis. Canning's not 492 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 3: pitching as well, McGill's not pitching as well. You've got 493 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 3: Frankie Montas on a rehab assignment and he is getting 494 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 3: lit up. And you've Code Sanga Kodea I Sanga on 495 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 3: the injured list. So they're in a little bit of 496 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 3: an uncertain state there, as are the Phillies with their bullpen. 497 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 3: The Phillies their bullpen of course without Alvarado who has 498 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 3: been suspended for a ped violation, and Jordan Romano, he's 499 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 3: been up and down lately, down again, So they've got 500 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 3: in the back of the bullpen match Strom or Iron Kirkery. 501 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 3: But other than that, it's kind of shaky. So these 502 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 3: are two powerful teams, and of course Bryce Harper remains 503 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 3: on the injured list, but there are teams that are 504 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 3: not without questions. And when you look at the power 505 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 3: and strength of the NL West, the National League remains 506 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: this fascinating case study. And who is going to be 507 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 3: the one that survives this, who is going to win 508 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 3: this game of survival of the fittest, We will see. 509 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 3: But the Mets and Phillies Right now, they're a little 510 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 3: bit down from where they've been, at least in different 511 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 3: parts of the season. 512 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of feel like the entire division is 513 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: a little bit down. I was hoping that Atlanta, of course, 514 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: would be better as well. Obviously the Marlins are the Marlins. 515 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: Don't forget. You can catch the Philly Show also here 516 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: on the Foul Territory Network. Ken let me ask you 517 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: before we say goodbye a couple of super chats where 518 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: Loando Martinez Junior wanted to ask you, can the Yankees 519 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: make it a trade for switch hitter third baseman Brandon Donovan. 520 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: I don't believe he is a switch hitter, right. I 521 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: think he's left. 522 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 3: Handed right, and that would be a player I'm sure 523 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 3: the Yankees would love to have. But if I'm the 524 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 3: Saint Louis Cardinals and I'm entering this kind of rebuilding phase, 525 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 3: we just talked about a possible extension for Donovan, that 526 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 3: is the direction I would be taking with him. You 527 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 3: have to have some veteran type players who can set 528 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 3: an example for your younger guys. You can't just go 529 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 3: all young. The Red Sox know that too, by the way, 530 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 3: So I would not be trading Donovan. I'm sure the 531 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 3: Yankees are lusting after Donovan as they lust after every 532 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 3: good player, as the Dodgers lest after every good players. 533 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 3: A lot of you just mentioned. But those two teams, 534 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 3: they can't have them all. 535 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: Sorry, no, yeah, you can't, and it's not good for 536 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: baseball get all of them. Let me ask you this though, 537 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: before we let you go and say goodbye. There is 538 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: another question on teams going all in, Daniel, rothenberg Helo, 539 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: welcome back to the show. A's two from him. Why 540 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: don't teams go all in more? It's risky, but windows 541 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: close fast. Just ask the Cubs. Chapman helped win one title, 542 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: but they never got back. And I think you kind 543 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: of alluded to this before, right, there's folks that don't 544 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: like to go all in, Daniel. 545 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 3: It's a fair question, and it kind of relates to 546 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: your previous question, if I'm not mistaken about that going 547 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 3: all in. The Oils are a great example of a 548 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 3: team that should have gone harder with what it had. 549 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 3: A team coming off back to back playoff appearances, and 550 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 3: their off season was simply not good enough. And their 551 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 3: thinking has always been, well, next year will be better 552 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 3: than this year. Our young players will be even better 553 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 3: than the year after that will be better than the 554 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 3: one before. It doesn't always work like that. Progressions of 555 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 3: players are not always linear, and different things happen along 556 00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 3: the way, injuries, regressions, all kinds of things. So yes, 557 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 3: teams do need to be more aggressive when the opportunity 558 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 3: is there. And keep your eyes on the Detroit Tigers, 559 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 3: because that's a team as good as they are. They 560 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 3: can reinforce themselves to the deadline and should. 561 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: Oh I would love to see that. I would love 562 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: for the Tigers to have a strong second half like 563 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: they did last year towards the end of it. But 564 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: they've been playing so well the entire season. 565 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 5: All right. 566 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: Fair Territory with Ken Rosenthal is done.
