1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Quick question on Roman. I'm curious if you guys have

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: any concern you know, given it's his first full season,

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: but we know how big of a part of the

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: offense he is.

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 2: For you guys, just any.

6
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: Concern about the amount of pressure maybe if the organization

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: is putting on him, or maybe vice versa, if he's applying,

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, any to himself. Just any concern along those

9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: lines now.

10
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 3: For things first, as an organization, you know, we're not

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 3: putting uh expectations or numbers, right. We just want him

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 3: to be him and show up and then.

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 4: And perform the way he's capable of.

14
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 3: It's on me and the coaching staff to to help

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: him throughout the process. We understand it's his first full

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 3: season and that's part of the the evolution of the player, right.

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 4: But so far, so good.

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: He's been here since last week going through everything.

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 4: You know, he's worked out and hitting all that, and.

20
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: There's the same kid met a few years ago, you know,

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: very humble, hungry and ready to go.

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 5: Hey, Alex, I got a question for you here from

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 5: Mansta Territory looking back to twenty twenty five. What are

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 5: you looking to really hammer on for this spring training

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 5: to get ready for twenty twenty six.

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: There's a few things that we have to do in

27
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: every aspect of the game. Control the running game from

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: the pitch and mound. You know, our conversion is a must.

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: Although I felt like we were okay defensively, we made

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,919
Speaker 3: too many errors, but when we had to make plays,

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: we made plays. Offensively, be better with many scrum position

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: as base runners, be more efficient. So we we're not perfect.

33
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: Nobody out there is perfect. And you know, I think

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: last year we took a great step forward as an organization.

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: But you know, there were a few things we didn't

36
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: do in those three days in the playoffs that you know,

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: we cost us advance to the next round and uh

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: and obviously a new group, a new season. But the

39
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 3: principles and the things that we believe can help us,

40
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: you know, get us too deep into October. We understand

41
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: what we have to do and we'll we'll execute.

42
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 5: So Alex, it seems like as of right now, one

43
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 5: through four in the rotation is set. Are you looking

44
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 5: for anything in particular when it comes to the fifth

45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 5: spot in the rotation and equalities that you're looking for there.

46
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: Just get a cutter and then Sandy healthy and we

47
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: go from there.

48
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 4: We got a lot of guys in the equation. We

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 4: cannot take.

50
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 3: All the starters to Cincinnati, and as you guys know,

51
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: last year, we felt that we had a lot in

52
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: spring training and then we didn't. Right, So that's the

53
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 3: nature of the business. So get guys healthy, get them

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 3: out there to come heat, and we'll take the fight.

55
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: Guys that you know, we feel they're going to help

56
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: us win as many games as possible early in the season.

57
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 6: Hey, Alex, what are you hoping to see from Wilson

58
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 6: Contraras this year? What's your expectations for him?

59
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: Just go out there and be you.

60
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: That's the most important thing, Hi, Heidi, is we traded

61
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: for a guy that can hit the ball hard as

62
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: Warner Wolves sears before in a big market. I think

63
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: he's going to enjoy the experience of family at first base.

64
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: He was capable, more than capable actually last year. We

65
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: got some great feedback from players that play with him

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: last year.

67
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 4: So just be you.

68
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: Don't don't come here thinking or expecting to carry the offense.

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: So be the leader the phase of the franchise. I'll

70
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: take Wilson as as who he is, and uh if

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: he if he can do that.

72
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 4: You know, we're going to be in a great spot.

73
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 6: So just strictly as a first baseman. No no catching, no.

74
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: No catch him.

75
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 6: How's Tristan doing.

76
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: He's okay, He's going through his progression, feeling better, doing

77
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: a lot of things on the field. But obviously it

78
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: was a major injury, so we have to to make

79
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: sure we check all the boxes. But so far, so good.

80
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 6: And then one last question for me, Sorry, I don't

81
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 6: know how to use the race hand function for anyone

82
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 6: on zoom with with Bregman. Everyone said last year, a

83
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 6: lot of the younger guys said he had such a

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 6: leadership role on that team for how short of amount

85
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 6: of time he was there. Who do you expect to

86
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 6: fill that leadership void?

87
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 3: We'll figure out. But Trevor was part of the equation

88
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 3: last year too. Trevor played one hundred and fifty something games.

89
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: Him and Alex they did an all standing jump in

90
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: the clubhouse. And so Trevor, he's been here for a while,

91
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 3: you know him, Woodlock Crouchet. So you know this is

92
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: part of the business, right. A lot of teams have,

93
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: you know, guys that come and go and uh, it

94
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: just happens that Alex is with the Cups.

95
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: We wish him nothing but the best. But we're in

96
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 4: a great spot. We have a good baseball.

97
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: Team and somebody will will we'll come out of that

98
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 3: clubhouse and be the leader. But Trevor, Trevor, I mean,

99
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: what he did last year was amazing and we expect

100
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: him to do the same thing.

101
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 7: Sorry, hello, Alex, Hey, I was wondering what you thought

102
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 7: of your starting rotation after all the moves that were

103
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 7: made this winter.

104
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 4: We're in a good spot.

105
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 3: Uh, starting with Gert of course, and then after that,

106
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: you know, Suarez and Sonny.

107
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: Been there, done that.

108
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 3: You know, different, different type of guys is UH is

109
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 3: a versatile rotation, it is, and you know we got

110
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: we got Balio, Suarez, Sonny and and Crochet. We'll decide

111
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: what we do with the fifth spot later on in camp.

112
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: But we got some guys that we we we want

113
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: them to get healthy, you know, Cutter, Crawford and Sandoval,

114
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: and then we got the kids.

115
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,119
Speaker 4: You know, so it's a deep group.

116
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: But as as you know, last year, we were deep.

117
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: We thought we were deep in spring training and all

118
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you know, Early was starting Game three

119
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: of the World Card series.

120
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 4: So, uh, the more the better. We just have to

121
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: keep him healthy. But we're in a good spot, you know.

122
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 3: And the thing that I really like is a versatile

123
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: rotation is different stuff every single day, and that plays

124
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 3: at the big league level.

125
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 8: I know you have good outfield depth. Was it hard

126
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 8: to give up Garcia in the trade for a Viedo?

127
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 8: I mean, I know he's a pretty good looking young outfielder.

128
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: Garcia Garcia, Yeah, yeah, I mean, but shoot, right now,

129
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: we got five outfields in the big ladies. Yeah, Masa,

130
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: we got Saddan gold Glover, Willier gold Glover, Roman and

131
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: and Jaron. So that's that's how you that's how you

132
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: build winning teams, right, You trade from your strength, right,

133
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: And at that point he was from the outfield death,

134
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: and then after that he's been from the pitching death.

135
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: So I think Craig has done an amazing job in finding

136
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: ways to improve the roster. And I truly believe, and

137
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: people might be like, no, no way, I truly believe

138
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: we are a better team right now than the one

139
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: we had at the end of the season last year.

140
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 8: How do you think Garcia will do if he gets

141
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 8: a chance to play in the big leagues.

142
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: Good defenders, yeah, good defender, good base runner.

143
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 9: Uh.

144
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: He just needs to control the strike zone. That's something

145
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: that we were preaching to him the last few years.

146
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: He had a lot of home runs, but at the

147
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: same time he's wrong to miss a lot too.

148
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: But the overall athlete, they're gonna.

149
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 8: Like, thank you, Alex, appreciate it.

150
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: Always always.

151
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: Easy.

152
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 10: I ax that sorry, Ah, thanks thanks for taking my question.

153
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 10: I wanted to see what do you think the team's

154
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 10: identity is going to be this year? More pitching driven,

155
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 10: aggressive base running or defensive which is gonna.

156
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 4: Saist from our end?

157
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: We need to do everything well, that's that's what good

158
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: teams do. You see the Dodgers and the Blue Jays

159
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: all around teams that they perform well in every aspect

160
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: of the game based running wise, defensively, offensively, on the mount.

161
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: So we're trying to emulate what they did last year

162
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 3: and if we do that, we're going to be in

163
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: a good spot.

164
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 5: So, Alex, with the lineup currently for this year, you know,

165
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 5: Roman excelled last year in twenty twenty five. Are you

166
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 5: kind of playing it by year with the lineup right

167
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 5: now or what are you thinking there?

168
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: We just have to wait and see what happens during camp,

169
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 3: but I have a pretty good idea how are we

170
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: gonna line up. We just have to make sure we

171
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: stay healthy. But we got a bunch of lefties, a

172
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: bunch of righty's, make some match, create balance and go

173
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: from there.

174
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: He's a ikf comments the other day, You've got a

175
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: little bit of traction essentially, you know, saying he's happier

176
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: to face the Yankees last year compared to you guys

177
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: you had Sonny Gray Yankees' comments in his intro pressor

178
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: how do you feel about how candid some of the

179
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: comments and you know, responses from some of your players

180
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: have been so far.

181
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just got here.

182
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: So if they thought that last year, yeah, well, it

183
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: doesn't make it any better for us. It doesn't make

184
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: me feel better because we did an advance, right, So

185
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 3: the Yankees they were better over a three game series

186
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: and they.

187
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: Played the Blue Jays.

188
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: The Jays uh with Sonny, Yeah, that's how he feels, right,

189
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,599
Speaker 3: So I think people enjoy this. At the end of

190
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 3: the day, it really doesn't matter, you know, like we

191
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 3: know what we have to do in this division. It's

192
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 3: not only New York we got Baltimore in Toronto on

193
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 3: the race. You know, there's a lot of good teams

194
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: in this division and there's been a dog fight since

195
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: I can remember, right, I joined this division in two

196
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: thousand and five, and that was the way he was

197
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 3: when I play, and uh since twenty eighteen is the

198
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: same way. So I think people are enjoying, you know,

199
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 3: the back and forth. He's great for the rivalry. And

200
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: you know they had the upper hand last year. They

201
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 3: beat us in the playoffs, so they finally did it.

202
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 3: Since you know, we got here, and you know, we'll

203
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: see what happens, uh this season.

204
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just have one more. How do you currently

205
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 5: see Masataka Yoshida's role as of right now?

206
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: I think it's too early to be talking about roles.

207
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: The good thing that he's healthy. This is his first

208
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: healthy off season in a while, well since he got here.

209
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: He was banged up his first the second part of

210
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 3: the season. You know, he had the big surgery before

211
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: last year, and you saw what happened.

212
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 4: To the end. You know, he was our best hitter.

213
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 4: So I saw to the v VP hit the ball

214
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 4: in the air.

215
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: He's ready to go for for the WBC, and uh,

216
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 3: you know, I think you guys are going to hear

217
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 3: this a lot this this camp. You know, he is

218
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: part of the solution. You know, he's not a problem.

219
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: He's part of the solution, and he's a great freaking hitter.

220
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 10: More question for you, Alex, what do you think the

221
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 10: group needs to show the most improvement compared to last season?

222
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 10: Because there are a couple of mistakes in the playoffs,

223
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 10: But when do you think.

224
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the mistakes were from the best defensive

225
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 3: outfield in the big leagues, you know, So it's just

226
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: two plays, right that we didn't make and uh it

227
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 3: cost us.

228
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 4: Uh it was.

229
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: The line drive by Judge and then the pop up

230
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: by Bellinger that I opened the door for them in

231
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: that beginning in game game three. So every screen training,

232
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: you come with ideas and you know, things that you

233
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 3: want to improve. One of the things that we're challenging

234
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 3: the guys is controlling the running game. That's something that

235
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: around the league obviously is a must.

236
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: Were living in a in a running environment now with

237
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 4: the new.

238
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: Rules, and you know, the less opportunity we give to

239
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: the old position, the better it's gonna be for us

240
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: offensively cash in.

241
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: I think, uh, you know you.

242
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 3: Saw it too in game Game two of the wild

243
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: Card we had first and second no outs after we

244
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: tie the game, and uh we're in cash in, and

245
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 3: uh that was kind of like, you know, uh, a

246
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 3: reflection of who we were throughout the season. So those

247
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: are two things that come into mind. There's more, of course,

248
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, we'll keep working getting better in

249
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: every aspect of the game.

250
00:12:46,679 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 11: Alex is aes or Dominicano and my companions pas.

259
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 4: Easy.

260
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 5: But how's Marcela Meyer looking so far? In your eyes?

261
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: I haven't seen much. Uh he's been on the backfields.

262
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 3: I've been with the pictures the first few days. So

263
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 3: you know, tomorrow they have physicals and we'll get going

264
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: on on Sundays. So I have a better better answer probably.

265
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 8: In a week.

266
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 12: Breslow is now here in joining us, we can start

267
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 12: right in with questions.

268
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 6: Hey, Greg, I'll jump in here. With so much movement

269
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 6: at this point in spring training, so many teams are

270
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 6: still making trades, making signings. Do you feel like your

271
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 6: roster's pretty set or are you guys still kind of

272
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 6: on the prow Yeah.

273
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 12: I think the best way to answer that is to

274
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 12: say that we like the group that we've got here

275
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 12: in camp. We're confident in that group.

276
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 9: Feel like, with a number of outfield options on this roster,

277
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 9: and with the trade for contraras and the pending return

278
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 9: attrition causes, how do you balance the playing time between

279
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 9: the outfield, d H and first base this season?

280
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 12: Sure, we've got a number of very capable outfielders. I

281
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 12: don't think that's a secret or a surprise.

282
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: Uh.

283
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 12: And we value all of them, you know. I think

284
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 12: the outfield depth is certainly a strength of this team,

285
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 12: and having too many good players is not a problem

286
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 12: that anyone in my seat or Alex the seat will

287
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 12: complain about. Uh. So you know, we'll we'll evaluate, you know,

288
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 12: And I think Alex does a fantastic job of managing

289
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 12: expectations and keeping guys fresh and using the entire twenty

290
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 12: six guys on a roster to give us the best

291
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 12: chance of winning games. And I think that's how how

292
00:15:58,920 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 12: we'll approach this.

293
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 9: I have another question, sorry, I also have another question

294
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 9: about Caleb Durban. What did you see from him that

295
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 9: gave you the confidence to make the trade for him?

296
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 12: Sure, so we think that he is a very good

297
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 12: and versatile defender. You feel like he is. He's very

298
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 12: capable of playing above average defense at second base and

299
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 12: third base. He's a very good base runner, and the

300
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 12: offensive profile is such that he addresses a problem that

301
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 12: we had over the last couple of years, which is

302
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 12: just too much swing and miss and particularly strikeouts with

303
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 12: runners in scoring position. He's got an incredibly low strikeout rate,

304
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 12: gets on base, and then we think that the batted

305
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 12: ball profile is one that could benefit from playing in

306
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 12: our park because he does pull the ball and he

307
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 12: does hit the ball in the air.

308
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 5: Craig, with Caleb Durban, do you envision a scenario where

309
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 5: instead of seeing him at one position more often, could

310
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 5: you see him bouncing around the infield.

311
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 12: That's something that Alex and I will will sit down

312
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 12: and talk to Kate a little about. We've had some

313
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 12: initial conversations, just you know, outlining that that's a conversation

314
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 12: we'd like to have. So I think before committing to anything,

315
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 12: it's really important that we have that communication. He's obviously

316
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 12: going to get work at multiple spots early on in

317
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 12: camp here, we'll have uh, you know, we'll have conversations

318
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 12: with him, and we'll figure out what works best for

319
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 12: the overall roster construction. He's not the only guy that

320
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 12: can play a number of positions, and I think you

321
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 12: always try to balance uh, stability and certainty on one

322
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 12: side with the ability to evolve and adapt to create

323
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 12: the best matchups that we can, and we've seen Alex

324
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 12: be a wizard at that. From the manager seat.

325
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 10: Hi Graig, what would define a successful twenty twenty sixth

326
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 10: season in your opinion?

327
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 12: Sure? So, you know, we believe that our goal is

328
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 12: to build a team that's capable of winning the World Series,

329
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 12: you know, and so competing for the division, making a

330
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 12: deep postseason run, putting ourselves in a position to do

331
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 12: just that is kind of the ambitious goals that we've set.

332
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 12: But at the same time, I think those are the

333
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 12: goals that we share with our fan base, you know,

334
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 12: with with our players and staff, and so that's what

335
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 12: I think our fans have come to expect. That's you know,

336
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 12: I think the benchmark for the Boston Red Sox is

337
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 12: competing for a World Series championship.

338
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 5: So, Craig, one underrated aspect I believe for the spring

339
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 5: training is the World Baseball Classic. You know, multiple players

340
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 5: some Red Sox are going to be competing in that.

341
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 5: So do you see this as a situation where, you

342
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 5: know a lot of guys could you know, really earn

343
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 5: some playing time on the major league roster.

344
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 12: I think it will give us a great chance to

345
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 12: evaluate the guys that that we do have in camp.

346
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 12: You know, typically we're trying to balance getting the veteran

347
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 12: guys and the guys that we know are going to

348
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 12: be a lock for the opening day roster, the meaningful

349
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 12: at bats, you know, kind of ramping them up, making

350
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 12: sure that they're seeing as strong a competition as possible,

351
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 12: and that can be difficult, uh, you know for some

352
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 12: of the guys that are maybe more trying to compete

353
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 12: for playing time or compete for roster spots. Given that

354
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 12: you know, majority of our outfield and uh, you know

355
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 12: a number of our our starters and some of our

356
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 12: our keep open guys will be away from camp. It

357
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 12: is absolutely an opportunity for us to evaluate players against

358
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 12: other team's best competition.

359
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 9: Hey, Greig, I want to touch on something that Alex

360
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 9: Cora responded when I ask him about Ranger Suarez h

361
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 9: and what he's seeing from him so far in camp,

362
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 9: and he talked about how he feels that he could

363
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 9: be a good, uh source of support for a pitcher

364
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 9: like Brian Bail. Can you can you elaborate on that

365
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 9: a little bit?

366
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 12: Sure?

367
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 3: Uh?

368
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 12: You know, Ranger is has been an incredibly productive major

369
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 12: league starter for a long time, someone that we obviously

370
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 12: brought in here because of what he's accomplished on the field,

371
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 12: but also just the deep understanding of pitching and his

372
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 12: ability to manipulate pitch shapes and navigate at bats. I

373
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 12: think it's going to have a really positive impact on others.

374
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 12: We saw that in today. He just threw a live VP.

375
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 12: I was joking that I think he threw twenty pitches

376
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 12: and got forty outs because he's just so efficient in

377
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 12: his ability to keep the ball off the barrel of

378
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 12: the bat is truly impressive. And I know that he's

379
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 12: already spent some time with Brian talking about change up

380
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 12: grips and talking about how to manipulate pitch shapes, and

381
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 12: you know, any chance we have to to kind of

382
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 12: foster those types of relationships, and we've seen Sonny do

383
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 12: the same thing. I think it's going to put us

384
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 12: in a better place.

385
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 9: Also, one last thing, is there any updates on Marcelo

386
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 9: Meyer interesting costs us in their injuries.

387
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 12: Yeah, both are progressing very well in a credit to

388
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 12: the work that each of those guys did this offseason.

389
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 12: You know, Marcello is kind of a full go at

390
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 12: this point, you know, pretty unrestricted in terms of his activities,

391
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 12: and Tristan is getting there offensively.

392
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 7: Uh.

393
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 12: You know, he's swinging the bat with with great intensity

394
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 12: and working really hard.

395
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 11: You know.

396
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 12: I think the last box to check there will just

397
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 12: be some of the running and particularly base running and

398
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 12: cutting those those types of more agility based moves. Uh,

399
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 12: And then we'll want to get him into games as uh,

400
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 12: you know, as he progresses. But it's a credit to

401
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 12: both guys that they are where they are right now.

402
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 5: Corregt just following up on my last question about the

403
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 5: World Baseball Classic. One signing recently was Brendan Rodgers on

404
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 5: a minor league deal. Could you dive into him a

405
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 5: little bit? What are your thoughts on what he can bring?

406
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 12: Sure? So, uh, you know, I think obviously he comes

407
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 12: with pretty significant pedigree and has been a very good

408
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 12: big leaguer, you know, in in the court over the

409
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 12: course of his career, has battled some injuries and and

410
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 12: you know, the performance hasn't sustained at the level that

411
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 12: it was at one point. But very versatile defender, a

412
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 12: guy that you know can can provide above average defense

413
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 12: at multiple positions, and we've seen some upside in the bat.

414
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 12: You know, I think being completely healthy is the right

415
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 12: place to start for him. He's made some swing changes

416
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 12: through the years, but all of that seems to have

417
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 12: been stifled a bit by injuries. So getting him in camp,

418
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 12: giving him a chance to compete and evaluate, you know,

419
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 12: I think is the right place to start. But we've

420
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 12: seen the ceiling of being a very good big league

421
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 12: in fielder.

422
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 4: And another question for.

423
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 10: You, pray, what's the biggest variable that you can will

424
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 10: determine how this season plays out?

425
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 12: Sure? I think I think if you ask this question

426
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 12: to thirty different teams, they might all give the same answer,

427
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 12: which is injuries, you know, keeping keeping guys healthy. I think,

428
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 12: in particular for our team, some of our key guys

429
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 12: have missed significant time over the years, whether that's you know,

430
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 12: Trevor early on in his tenure here or Roman and

431
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 12: Willier last year. But especially for us, because we're a

432
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 12: team that's largely going to be built on pitching, keeping

433
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 12: our pitching healthy is critically important. And then also just

434
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 12: making sure that we've got the depth to be able

435
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 12: to withstand injuries, because unfortunately, injuries are a pretty inevitable

436
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 12: part of the course of a season. And knowing that

437
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 12: we've got not just a deep pitching staff, but also

438
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 12: quality depth is certainly reassuring. Quest Hi, well, I have

439
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 12: a quick question.

440
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 2: I know Yoshida is going back to Japan for the

441
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 2: Double Bash at some point, but exactly when what day

442
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: he's going to leave the camp.

443
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 12: I believe he is leaving in about ten days and

444
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 12: was just taking some swings out there in LIVP today.

445
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 12: Looks good, completely healthy, completely ramped up, and I think

446
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 12: excited to compete in the WBC.

447
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: Ten days means twenty thout, maybe the twenty second, I think, okay,

448
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: thank you, sure.

449
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 11: Okay, Hi Greg, Hello, My question is about Andrew Monasterius.

450
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 11: What are your thoughts on him as a player and

451
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 11: how much can he contribute to the team in a

452
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 11: utility run.

453
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 12: Sure, so, as has kind of emerged as the theme here.

454
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 12: Really versatile defender and a guy that we believe can

455
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 12: play above average defense at multiple spots and brings his

456
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 12: his outfield glove out there with him every day as well.

457
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 12: But you know, a guy that actually last year was

458
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 12: very effective against left handed pitching, which is something that

459
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 12: you know drew our attention, but also can play defense

460
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 12: at second, short, and third, and just a phenomenal teammate.

461
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 12: Got rave reviews from from people who had played with him,

462
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,239
Speaker 12: from former coaches, from some of our guys who had

463
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 12: him with Chicago early in his career. So we're really

464
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 12: excited about the energy that he brings, the strong defensive

465
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 12: presence and versatility, and then also a very good base runner.

466
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 5: I asked this question to Alex about the rotation. It

467
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 5: looks like one through four is set in the rotation

468
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 5: for the most part. What qualities are you looking for

469
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 5: in particular when it comes to the fifth spot in

470
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 5: the rotation?

471
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 12: Sure, you know, I think there there's going to be

472
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 12: competition for that fifth spot, and we've you know, we

473
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 12: got a glimpse of what Connolly Early and Peyton Totlly

474
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 12: are capable of doing. But also you know guys who

475
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 12: are who have been very good major league starters, who

476
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 12: are getting healthy, and guys like Cutter and Sandy both

477
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 12: had big days today and Santaval through LIVEVP looked excellent.

478
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 12: Velo up to ninety four I think and really pounded

479
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 12: the strike zone, so that was a great hurdle for

480
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 12: him to overcome. And Cutter was up and down in

481
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 12: his bullpen today. Uh and then Oviedo, you know, a

482
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 12: guy that we're really excited about, just given the improvements

483
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 12: that he's made post Tommy John. So I think what

484
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 12: you know, what we'll what we'll be looking for is

485
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 12: is some level of consistency. But also I think that's

486
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 12: a chance to to chase some upside just given you know,

487
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 12: we feel like those first four guys are going to

488
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 12: keep us in series and keep us in games and

489
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 12: give us a chance to win, you know, and knowing

490
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 12: that we do have some some options for that fifth spot,

491
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 12: like let's let's go ahead and get the guy that

492
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 12: you know kind of if we realize the best outcomes,

493
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 12: there has a chance to shut down an offense. Thank

494
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 12: you Craig, Thank you everyone for joining us. Thank you

495
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,399

497
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,680

498
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 8: Uh.

00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,800

502
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 5: media scrum here at famway Fest. Obviously I was there

503
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 5: all day, but this is my first ever Zoom media scrum,

504
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 5: so that was pretty interesting anyway. But everybody, I'm gonna

Speaker 5: wrap it up right there. We are gonna have a
