1
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: Nightingale's notes.

2
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: Here comes Bob Nightingale from USA Today and and FT

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: insider here joining us frequently. Bob, great to see you.

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: And let's start out with fifty million dollars per year

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 2: for Kyle Tucker. Do you think that's going to happen?

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: Do you think that he'll end up with the Mets

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: or this mystery long term Blue Jays offer will surface

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: and become the thing for him.

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 3: I think the Blue Jays make much more sense than

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 3: New York. I think he liked me in Toronto more

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 3: than New York. Kind of quiet personality. You know, the

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 3: Cubs weren't crazy about him, thought he was okay. I

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: think they thought or kind of hoping, you'd have more

14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 3: outgoing personality with them. I think his whole demeanor fits

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: Toronto better than the Mets. And with your Mets, so

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: you're really going to have, you know, one hundred million

17
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: dollars worth of right fielders. You know, Tucker's defense is

18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: starting to slip a little bit too, just like Soto's.

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: So I'd like him much better in Toronto than mess.

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 4: Wow, what's the hold up here? What's the whole if

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,639
Speaker 4: you have three years of one hundred and fifty million,

22
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: fifty million a year on the table staring you in

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: the face of this report is true, and there's been

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: multiple people that have reported this. Why would you not

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 4: sign that? And if it has opt outs built into it,

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: you know, after year one, after year two, if you're

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 4: Kyle Tucker, are you really does he just want more

28
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 4: years to get a little bit more money. But I mean,

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 4: do what Peter Alonso did do it, Alex Bregmant did

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 4: do it, Blake Snell did do it, Mattchhaman did take

31
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 4: that one year, go out, have a great year and boom,

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: then re hit the free agent market a year later

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 4: and get that big long term contract.

34
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: I just think he wants to do that.

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: I don't think he wants to go through the whole

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: pre agent process again. You know, it's not a fun experience.

37
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: I'm sure he thought there'd be more offers and you

38
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: know what happened to those you know, four hundred and

39
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: five hundred million dollar you know deals that you know

40
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: were talked about last summer.

41
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: So I think he's waiting for the blue Jays up

42
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: the A. So okay, if the blue.

43
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: Jays are offered six or seven years, you know, get

44
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: them to hike it up. An they're five or ten

45
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: million a year, you know, obviously I can go to

46
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: the Mets level, but they can certainly raise it.

47
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: I think that's what he's waiting for.

48
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 5: But also, if it's fifty million a year, everybody feels

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 5: like the Dodgers can match that, And would the Dodgers

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 5: be willing to go to that because if that's the case,

51
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 5: is Tucker all the things you said about Tuckers he

52
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 5: a better fit in LA, not wanting to go to

53
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 5: New York and saying, hey, you know what I'm gonna

54
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 5: hop onto a world back to back World Series champions.

55
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean get you know, you get lost his

56
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: shuffle there, which I think he likes all the stars

57
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 3: in LA obviously in Toronto you got Blad Guerrero there.

58
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: I just think you of the Dodgers, hey just won

59
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: two ruled surges about the guy.

60
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: You don't need them.

61
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 3: Maybe nights lecture and to have you know, if he

62
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: wants to come as say forty years forty, maybe even

63
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: forty five, so be it. But I don't think they're saying, hey,

64
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: we're can get a Benning or with the Mets, do

65
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: you want to be here or not. Do you want

66
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: to win a World Series or not? You know, he

67
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: lives in the Tampa area too, so you would think

68
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: that with screen training, you know, both in Toronto and

69
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 3: New York and Florida, that's got to be a little

70
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: bit of advantage too, not having come all the way

71
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: to LA.

72
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 5: Is it possible? Obviously anything's possible, But is it possible

73
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 5: that there's another team that would be willing after everyone's

74
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 5: heard about this Mets offer to go that again? Not

75
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 5: maybe not a bidding war, but maybe in the forty

76
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 5: seven million dollars a year range.

77
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't see it. You know. I checked with the

78
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: Houston I thought, well, maybe Houston might be that team.

79
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like, you know, they've they're interested in

80
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: bringing them back, certainly not that kind of money.

81
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: So there certainly could be, but I don't know where

82
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: it would be.

83
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, it's not going to be Philadelphia or

84
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: some of these other big market teams, so I don't

85
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: think so. It's not the Cubs, So I think the

86
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: teams are hearing are really the only teams involved.

87
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 4: Bob with Toronto and you mentioned the AAV, do you

88
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 4: think they'll get to a point with Tucker, because they've

89
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: already done a lot of things this offseason with seas

90
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: and Ponts and some of these other things moves that

91
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: they've made, right, So do they have the money and

92
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 4: would Tucker? Would they have to choose between Tucker and Bashett,

93
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: And obviously they prefer Tucker over Bashett because of the

94
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 4: possibility of our show and Springer leaving at the.

95
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: End of the year.

96
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's exactly what. I think They've already

97
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 3: made their choice. They want Tucker. I think Bichette's the

98
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: only chance to go back is that they don't get Tucker.

99
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: And I think Tucker wants to make a decision here

100
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: in the next few days too.

101
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, they can certainly raise or offer I mean,

102
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: they're not going to raise it to fifty million dollars

103
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: a year, you know, you know, paying him like you

104
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: are one Soto, but they can certainly hit the forty

105
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: million dollar mark or eclips that barrier. And maybe that's

106
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 3: what he's waitning for, just you know, one long term

107
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: contract so you don't have to go through this, you know,

108
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 3: year a year like the other guys did with those

109
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: opt outs.

110
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 5: Talking about who ages is brought up Boba Schet cautiously

111
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 5: optimistic for the Phillies. Is that something that's you know,

112
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 5: more from the Phillies department or is this a market

113
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 5: that Boba Sheet's needing to kind of get himself out there,

114
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 5: to get the market going so that he's in a

115
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 5: place in spring training.

116
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he expected a bigger market too. Uh.

117
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: The Phillies are the ones costally optimistic. They liked the

118
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 3: zoom call that they had with him. They think that

119
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: he's genuinely interested and they you know, conveyed that, Hey,

120
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: they're generally interested in him.

121
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: It's not just to put some pressure on JT. Realmudo. Uh.

122
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 3: He's not using them to get more money from the

123
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 3: Red Sox or somebody else. So I think it can happen.

124
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: I think he'd be great for the Phillies us to shake.

125
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: That thing up.

126
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: I mean, if you know, Gon bounced out early the

127
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 3: playoffs here the last couple of years with pretty much

128
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: the same lineup. If you don't bring him in, it's

129
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: pretty much the same group of guys, uh for the

130
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: most part. So I think be great for the Phillies

131
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 3: to grab Bischett and just really shake that thing up

132
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: give him a better chance to you know, get back

133
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 3: to the World Series.

134
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 4: Well, if that happens, does I mean Alec Bohm is gone?

135
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 4: Does I mean real Muto's gone? Can they signed Bishett

136
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 4: and real Muto JT and bring him back or would

137
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 4: that would they have to go and then go find

138
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 4: possibly a catcher and then trade either Stot or Bom.

139
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 4: I mean if that's why the Philly fit to a

140
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: lot of people is an interesting one because in Dombrowski

141
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: would have to possibly make other moves to make this

142
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: all fit together and work.

143
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't have to shake up things that are hurry.

144
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 3: I think Bone would be gone. It could be stopped,

145
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: but I think Bone would be gone to go get

146
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: a catcher.

147
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: Uh.

148
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 3: You know, I was told that if they do sign

149
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: Bischett that real Moto is gone. Uh, They're not that

150
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 3: close to negotiations. I think there's been some tension there,

151
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 3: just like it was years ago. I think there's more

152
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: tension now. And so if they do sign bi Hit,

153
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any way they bring him back.

154
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: You really have to drop down in his demand.

155
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: Whatever he's acting for, and I'm not sure it's in

156
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: a market for a thirty five year old catcher.

157
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,280

Speaker 2: Hello Fresh.

178
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. As a former thirty five year

179
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 4: old free agent catcher, you sign a lot of one

180
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 4: year deals. So that's where it gets interesting because you know,

181
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 4: I'm sure he wants a multi year deal, but I've

182
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 4: been there and it's one year deal offers and you

183
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 4: do the best you can and try to go from there. Well,

184
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 4: there's another name on the Phillies that no one has

185
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 4: talked about, and he and a rough ending in Philadelphia,

186
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: and that's Castianos. Have you heard anything about his market

187
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 4: because everyone, everything you read and everything you see, everyone's like,

188
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 4: there's no way Nick Castianos is back on the Phillies. Well,

189
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 4: we haven't heard his name mentioned anywhere. Is this going

190
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 4: to be a salary dumpy kind of thing like the

191
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: Cardinals just did with Ronado or is there actually going

192
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: to be some interest to Nick Castianos for a year.

193
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a big time salary top.

194
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: I think they're going to have to eat the minimum

195
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 3: seventeen million to twenty if not.

196
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: You know, eighteen or nineteen. I have not heard his name.

197
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: I would think as we get closer to spring training,

198
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 3: I don't think the Phillies won them back in camp.

199
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: I think they move him. Then you know, maybe a

200
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 3: team like to say Anygo Podres or you know, someone

201
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: could use some outfield help. They would make sense. I mean,

202
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: the Potters wanted Ernando two, they just didn't want to

203
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: pay the eleven million dollars that the Diamonbacks paid, So

204
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: they're really in a money crunch, and I think it

205
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 3: would be a great fit. I think the real risk

206
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 3: for a team is if you bring Caslanos in, you

207
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 3: better play them every day or he's gonna be upset

208
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 3: and could cause disturbance in the clubhouse, which is what

209
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: happened in Philadelphia.

210
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 5: Let's say the Phillies do get Boba shot j t

211
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 5: Romuto is gone. According to Bob, what does that market

212
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 5: look like out there for the Phillies. I asked Ken

213
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 5: yesterday and he talked about Victor care teeny. Does Ryan

214
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 5: Jeffers say, okay, yes, that's the guy that we would want,

215
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 5: we have to go get him. Do the Phillies have

216
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 5: the pieces to go get a guy who's a starting

217
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 5: catcher because the team he's coming from needs a starting

218
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 5: catcher too. So that's my That's like where I'm like

219
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 5: it's a catching position is usually figured out by November,

220
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 5: and now we're into January and the Phillies are in

221
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 5: no man's land.

222
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got to go get another catcher.

223
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 3: It might be someone's backup or somebody who plays you know,

224
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 3: sixty percent in the time.

225
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: You know, a little bit like the Cub situation. Grab

226
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: you know a guy like that.

227
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 3: But you know you're gonna have to mix and match

228
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 3: of the catchup position, which is fine, but you better

229
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 3: You're got to get that trust from those Philadelphia pictures

230
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: in a hurry.

231
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you got a lot of money invests in

232
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: that rotation. They're used to real mudo.

233
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: That's the big danger here is now that catcher and

234
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 3: pitchers got to get to know each other in a hurry.

235
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: Here, Okay, well let's go. Let's go on to another

236
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 4: team that made a big move. That's the Cubs. Cubs

237
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 4: brought in Alex Pregman. Red Sox fans thought they had

238
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 4: him and he was gonna come back for sure. The

239
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 4: Cubs swoop in steal him away from the Red Sox.

240
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 4: Does this mean they're gonna have to trade Nico Horner?

241
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 4: Are they gonna run with Horner? Swansby, Dansby, Swanson and

242
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: Pregman in the infield, Michael Bush obviously at first, and

243
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 4: then what do you do with the Matt Shaw, who's

244
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 4: a young player show promise in the second half. They've

245
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 4: been high on him forever. Does he just slot in

246
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 4: automatically to your utility role that they've had.

247
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: I was told that.

248
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: Horner stand put. Uh, you know that they want they

249
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 3: want him there. Uh, so he's got one more year

250
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 3: to their left. I think he stays put. I think

251
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: Dodd Man out his Shaw. I don't think they trade him,

252
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: but I think he bounces back and forth between the

253
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 3: miners and uh a super childey player. Uh, he's gonna

254
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 3: have to have a great spring just like he did

255
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: a year ago to make the team and uh and

256
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 3: show he can play multiple positions. If nothing else, you'll

257
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 3: go to Iowa and just be that, you know, that

258
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 3: reserve guy, you know, break for him. But I think

259
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: that's what's going to have to happen for this next year.

260
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: But I think Horner definitely stays put.

261
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 5: Is framber Valdez's phone is it off? Like is it broken?

262
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 4: Is there?

263
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 5: We haven't heard anything? Has he been getting calls or stuff,

264
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 5: waiting for something else, the first shoe to fall, and

265
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 5: then something happens.

266
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's strange. I mean, once he's got the two ten,

267
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: you figure, Okay.

268
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 3: Valdeza's going to come in right around the same thing,

269
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: and you've heard nothing. I mean, it seems like you'd

270
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: be a great fit for you know, a number of teams,

271
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 3: particularly particularly the Mets. Uh, the Red Sox too, But yeah.

272
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

273
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 3: You know how much that hurt during the season with

274
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: the with the incident with the catcher in Uh, you

275
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 3: know that they're prying around saying, winn now is he

276
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 3: going to fit into our clubhouse? So, uh, we'll see.

277
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm surprised. I think the biggest surprise of

278
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: all this whole free agency is just the starting pitching market.

279
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 3: Just how slow it is.

280
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 5: The Red Sox. You said, the Red Sox possibly on

281
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 5: frame or you know, it's always a possibility, but it's

282
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 5: starting pitching where they because they've already made the move

283
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 5: with Sonny Gray and they got I'm blanking out right

284
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 5: now anyway, the second move in Now they got Wilson Contrens,

285
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 5: but they got another starting pitcher too, Johan Oviado. That dude,

286
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 5: got your boy, I know I forgot. It's okay, It's okay,

287
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,599
Speaker 5: you forget things. Me and Bob.

288
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 2: That's his favorite picture.

289
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 5: Yes, But anyway, would they go to the starting pitching

290
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 5: market or the fact that they just missed out on

291
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 5: a bat that was a key part of their lineup,

292
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 5: So they need a bat.

293
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: In a bat but you know they could add another arm.

294
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, through eight or ninety starters anyway,

295
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 3: you know why not? But yeah, they need a bat somewhere. Uh,

296
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 3: you know, I know that Diamondback said, hey, we're not

297
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: trading get but you know what surprise anybody's screen trending

298
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 3: if the Red Sox come back and say, you know what,

299
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna be willing to give you this we weren't

300
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: gonna give to you before, We're gonna give it to

301
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 3: you now. I can't believe the door is completely shut

302
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: on the Martete trade talks.

303
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 4: Okay, the Mets. The Mets have been roomed for Tucker

304
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 4: fifty million a year all that stuff. Bob, why are

305
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 4: they not going after more starting pitching and why will

306
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: they not go after some of these guys guys like

307
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 4: that that they might have to give is that just

308
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 4: David Stern saying I refuse to give a long term

309
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 4: deal to a starting pitcher because from Ravallo does I

310
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 4: think would fit nicely in that rotation, Ranger Suarez, you

311
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 4: know him, well, he's in your division for the last

312
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: five six years. Why would they not go out and say, hey,

313
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 4: we need to really focus on our starting pitching. Yes,

314
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 4: Kyle Tucker is nice, but we need some pitching somewhere.

315
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

316
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure they're in on all these guys and say, Okay,

317
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 3: here's a three year or four year deal.

318
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: Who wants to take it?

319
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: And maybe they're gonna have to say, you know what,

320
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: We're just gonna weigh give.

321
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: You the opt out clauses too.

322
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 3: I think they're just betting the market not being there obviously,

323
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 3: you know, and as a materialized like those guys thought,

324
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: and someone's gonna have to bite.

325
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: So I think at some point we.

326
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: Got less than a month before fishes and catches your port,

327
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: someone's can get nervous here in sign and saying I

328
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: don't get to take the mess offer.

329
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: You know what's next. So I think they're just trying

330
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: to play it smart, play shrewd in the sense that

331
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: someone's gonna take our money and let's don't bid against ourselves. Uh,

332
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: they've got to get least one more pitch, if not too.

333
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 4: So that's what she thinks happening to a lot of

334
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 4: these guys as teams are just sitting back saying don't

335
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 4: panic and that. Meanwhile their agents are saying, don't panic, guys.

336
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 4: The money's there or it'll get there eventually. So which

337
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 4: one wins in the end? Is it the teams because

338
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 4: the team's not saying collusion, But we've talked to some

339
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 4: guys and they've had a lot of the same offers

340
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: from multiple teams. Right, So our teams just sitting back

341
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 4: and then you have every agent because I've been through this,

342
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: and teams you get you get to once you hit Christmas,

343
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 4: everyone says, oh, man, are you gonna sign you're not

344
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 4: playing anymore? Or are you going? The wife starts hitting

345
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 4: you up for where are we going for spring training?

346
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 4: I got to find a place to live. So are

347
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 4: the teams just counting on full panic setting in and

348
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 4: they can maybe get some deals out of this?

349
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: Yeah?

350
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: I used to be like you said, a j full

351
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: pin up for a Christmas you know, Now it's more

352
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 3: towards spring training, we're seeing a lot more signings, but

353
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: it's a lot more important for these pictures to signally

354
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: because one spring training starts. You know, there's kind of,

355
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 3: you know, a track record of guys that show up late,

356
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,359
Speaker 3: aren't ready, they have poor things. You know, look at Montgomery,

357
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: what happened German Gunmy with the Diamondbacks, that sort of thing.

358
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: So I think a teams are waiting for the players

359
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: or pictures to panic and say, Okay, we don't like

360
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: this software. We'll take it, giving me, give me a

361
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 3: opt out, and I'll go hit that market again next year.

362
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's worked for guys, but for picture it's

363
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 3: a lot more important to get to camp on time,

364
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 3: and it's a position player.

365
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 5: How much validity is it when we hear stuff about

366
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: the Giants looking for a second basement because there's two

367
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 5: out there on the market. Obviously, I don't think that

368
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 5: Martees going out there and you just said, Nico Horner,

369
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 5: is there a aggressiveness from the Giants to make that

370
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 5: trade to get that second baseman that they're possibly looking for?

371
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: Good?

372
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: They've got a nice farm system and uh, you know,

373
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: we see toads and spring training all the time.

374
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: You know, why not, why not wait and get a guy.

375
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: Uh, there's always guys that fall to the cracks and

376
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 3: stuff like that, injuries, So I think they you know, wait, uh,

377
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: you know, maybe they. I can't see the Diamax trading

378
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: Marta to San Francisco. I'm not being the same division.

379
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 3: But there'll be guys out there, and uh, the way

380
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 3: they always operate, at least the Giants, you know, under

381
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: bust or Posey is just take your time until you

382
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 3: get that right guy.

383
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: So I don't think there's an urgency to get the

384
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: guy right now. And I think you know, a Saint

385
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: Louis is aggressive.

386
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 3: They've been dealing guys, you know, why not just wait

387
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: to see if you know, Brendan Donovan falls in your lap.

388
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 4: But why where's the Giants fan?

389
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: Uh?

390
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 4: You know, Buster Posey, we got this, we do this

391
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 4: was their move getting Devers last year. Where is the

392
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 4: Giants been? Because the Giants are that team that's always

393
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 4: rumored to you know, oh, they're gonna get this guy,

394
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 4: and they might they're sneaky, gonna sign this guy and

395
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 4: do this. And this offseason they've been relatively quiet, especially

396
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: on the big name guys.

397
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the exactly is that Devers was their

398
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: big guy.

399
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: If they signed him during the Winner, people say, oh,

400
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: what a great move, sign a Domas to the big

401
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 3: time contract last year. So they've been spending some big

402
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 3: time money. Uh, you know, didn't pay off for him

403
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 3: last year. So I think there's they were always playing

404
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: and just do it kind of quietly that Hey, they

405
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 3: weren't going to go out and get a big time

406
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: free agent. They were just gonna kind of work in

407
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: the margins and see who falls in there. Obviously they

408
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: already have a big payroll. But yeah, they've never in

409
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: on any of these guys. Uh, you know, could they

410
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 3: be a sneaky team on Bichette, possibly, but I haven't

411
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: heard that at all.

412
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 4: Well, they need a second baseman, they did, there's your

413
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 4: second basement. There's another star you can add to the mix.

414
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 4: There you go, Bob, Bob said it here first man.

415
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 4: Oh shit, to the giants. There's been no links there,

416
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 4: no at.

417
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: Least at all.

418
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 4: No.

419
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean it is uh it was. You know,

420
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 3: market isn't what he thinks it's gonna be. You might

421
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 3: as well throw your name of the fire and see

422
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 3: what happens. But yeah, I mean, but yeah, Philadelphia is

423
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 3: very very optimistic, or at least more than Caution is

424
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: optimistic now that big ship.

425
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: Could be a perfect fit for him.

426
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 3: I think people in Philadelphia and the front office are a

427
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 3: lot more excited about Bishett now than they were two

428
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 3: weeks ago.

429
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: Bob, are there any trade names that you feel are

430
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 2: a definite over the next few weeks to actually happen?

431
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: And we put the catel Marte trade talks to bed.

432
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like Schoogle's happening, although maybe this arbitration

433
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: battle kicks that up. Freddy Paralta, Brendan Donovan or anyone

434
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: else we're missing, I.

435
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: Mean Paralta Stills, I think that part's gonna be off

436
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: there at all. Spring he's not dealt before.

437
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 3: I think the mess are just waiting for someone to

438
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 3: overpay and using somebody will I he's not making money. Uh,

439
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: you know, obviously David Stearns knows sham. Do they make

440
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 3: a run for pro Alta?

441
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: Why not? Uh?

442
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 3: You know, but you kind of wonder what the what

443
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: the Cubs have done there. We're getting Cabrera, getting Brugman

444
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 3: Brewers fans. I think we'll go bonkers if they trade

445
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 3: away pro Alta, Like, what are we doing here? We've

446
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: dominated this division, we believe going to raise a white

447
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 3: flag here and not go for it again.

448
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: So I think being a hard pr sell right now

449
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: to trade Pralta, Bob, good stuff.

450
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: We appreciate it as always great to check back in,

451
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: and still a ton more to go over the next

452
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 2: few weeks.

453
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: It'll be busy.

454
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 4: We'll talk see all right.

455
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: Sounds good, Thank you guys,
