1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: I can't think of any bargains right now at a 2 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: time when backup catsules are getting eight and. 3 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 2: A half a million dollars. 4 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: Daddy Yans we got eight and a half million. Gary 5 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: Sanchez got eight and a half million. Neither had a 6 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: particularly great years. 7 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 2: Welcome everyone to the Thursday. 8 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: Edition of Fair Territory on Ken Rooseveal here with Alana Rizzo. 9 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: As you can see, I am still at the Winter Meetings. 10 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: Don't ask me why, but Alana, we had an action 11 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: packed week. It was actually a lot of fun, starting 12 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: with the Sodo signing. We had of course the Max 13 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: Fried signing, de Andres Him ANDZ trade, all kinds of 14 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: things happened, and topped by the big Garrett Crochet trade yesterday. 15 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: But I want to look a little bit ahead, Alana, 16 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: to see what might be next on tap for baseball. 17 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 3: And I think a lot of that depends on where 18 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker decides to go. 19 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: Ken. 20 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 3: Obviously, the New York Yankees missing out on Juan Soto 21 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,959 Speaker 3: not for lack of trying, but he is a New 22 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 3: York met Kyle Tucker remains the biggest free agent out 23 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: there if you're talking outfielder, Am I correct? In saying 24 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 3: that where's he going, Well. 25 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 2: He's not a free agent. He is still a member 26 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: of the Houston Astros. 27 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: The question is will he be traded now? He is 28 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: a free agent after next season. So the Astros are 29 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: in a really interesting spot right now. Remember George Springer left, 30 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: Carlos Carrell left, Garrett Cole left, and Alex Bregman looks 31 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: like he might leave all of those guys left without 32 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: getting traded, without the Astros getting anything in return. Now, 33 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: part of the reason this happened is the Astros have 34 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: been so competitive, if had such a strong club that 35 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: they've wanted to keep those guys until the ends of 36 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: their contracts. 37 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: In the case of Reregman, if he leaves. 38 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: They're in a kind of crossroads position, a different kind 39 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: of position for them. 40 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 2: And that's why. 41 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: Actually, regardless of whether Bregman signs or not, facing the 42 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: loss of Tucker after this season, facing the possible loss 43 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: of Fromer Valdez as well to free agency, they are 44 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: looking at things. And Kyle Tucker is not Juan Soto, 45 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: but he's pretty darn good. He is an excellent defensive 46 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: right field or goal glove wind. He's a guy who 47 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: can steal thirty bases, and he is a top offensive 48 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: player as well, really a very underrated guy, one of 49 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: the top. 50 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 2: Ten players in the game. 51 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: So where is he going? This is a good question, 52 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: the big question. The first question is is he going? 53 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: Is Jim Crane the owner, going to allow this to 54 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: happen and say, okay, let's kind of retool on the 55 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: fly a little bit, see what we can get for 56 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker, maybe even see what we can get for 57 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: fromer Valdez and take it from there. I don't know, 58 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: No one knows what's going on inside Crane's head right now. 59 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: But if Kyle Tucker is indeed moved, and it's certainly 60 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: being discussed, then the Yankees are in, the Cubs are in. 61 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: We've heard other teams being in as well. This is 62 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: a guy that, like Sodo a year ago, will be 63 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: in high. 64 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: Demand, and like Soda was a year ago. Ken, I mean, 65 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 3: you could think about Kyle Tucker sustince he is under 66 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 3: control by the Astros at least for one more year. 67 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 3: Does it make sense to get Kyle Tucker as a 68 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 3: rental and then let him and you know, hit free 69 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: agency after next year. Do you take that approach? If 70 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 3: you're a certain team, if you're going to get him 71 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 3: just for one year. 72 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: It's a really good question, Alana, especially as it applies 73 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: to the Yankees. 74 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 2: Remember they gave up a lot for Sodo, Michael. 75 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: King, Drew Thorpe, who brought the Padres, dylancies to other pitchers, 76 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: who gave the Padres at least some good innings last year, 77 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: and Kyle, like Gastrioko, all of that for Sodo. 78 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: Now he Wasjan Soto. 79 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: We all get it, and Kyle Tucker is not quite that. 80 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: But it's going to take a lot. And you've heard 81 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: the name of Louis Heal lived to a possible trade 82 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: for Kyle Tucker, the American League rookie of the Year 83 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: with the Cubs. We reported this yesterday. Is Zach Parades 84 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: is a guy that's come up. Say Azuk Zuki is 85 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: a guy that's come up. Cam Smith, their top draft 86 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: pick last year, is. 87 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: A guy who has come up. 88 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: So obviously to get Kyle Tucker, you're going to have 89 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: to give up quite a bit, not the usual rental price. 90 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: And then the question is can you resign him with 91 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: Soto The answer was no, he was always going. 92 00:03:58,920 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: To free agency. 93 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: You knew that because his agent was Scott Boris. Tucker 94 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: is represented by Excel. They're an agency with a history 95 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: of extensions for players. 96 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmidt was one. 97 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: There are many others as well, so I would think 98 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: the team that acquires him would have a better chance. 99 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,679 Speaker 1: But it's certainly not a guarantee. And if you're Kyle Tucker, 100 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: you just saw Wan Soto get seven hundred and sixty 101 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: five million, you probably want to test the open market 102 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: and see if you can get I don't know, four 103 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: hundred five hundred. 104 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 2: Who knows what the number might be. 105 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 3: I know by next year, who knows it could be 106 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: in the billions. I'm kidding, not for Kyle Tucker, but 107 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: I tell you what, the salaries are astronomical. Good for 108 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: the player if they can get a lot of questions 109 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: surrounding the Houston Astros and Foul Territory. Has you covered 110 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: Ken because we have a brand new show. It's a 111 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 3: new show alert. Welcome Crush City Territory to the Foul 112 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 3: Territory Network. Chandler Rome, who you know very well, of course, 113 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 3: Tyler Stafford. Their debut episode those in depth on the 114 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman and from Bervaldez rumors that Ken 115 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 3: was just talking about subscribe on Apple and spo sify 116 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: and follow at Crush City pod on x for the 117 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 3: latest on your Houston Astros. All right, we change our 118 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 3: focus from what the astros are doing or not doing 119 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 3: to another guy on the market. Right now, from a 120 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 3: pitching standpoint, Ken, when you talk about Corbyn Burns, obviously 121 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 3: Blake Snell is now with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Max 122 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 3: Freed is now a member of the New York Yankees. 123 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 3: What's the latest with Corbyn Burns? 124 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: A lot of this one is really interesting because the 125 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: Red Sox yesterday certainly acquired a starting pitcher who will 126 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: be at the. 127 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: Top of the rotation. 128 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: Now, could they sign Corbyn Burns as well as adding 129 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: Garret Crochet? 130 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: I would say that they should. I don't know that 131 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 2: they will. 132 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: Their owner, John Henry is not a fan of long 133 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: term contracts for pitchers. Got burned with David Rice, got 134 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: burned with Chris Sale, might not want to do it again. 135 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,239 Speaker 1: And it's going to be really interesting if they signed 136 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: Crochet to an extension for that very reason. 137 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: So the Red Sox, their focus is still pitching. 138 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: Will they turn to a trade or a lesser free 139 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm not so sure that they're 140 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: going to be hot on Burns. The Baltimore Orioles, Burns's 141 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: previous team, they want him back. The same time, they're 142 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: not a team that I don't think is going to 143 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: go to two hundred and fifty million or whatever the 144 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: number is going to be for Corbyn Burns. 145 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 2: And then there are the Toronto Blue Jays, who've. 146 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: Been trying to get their moneys taken by some player 147 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: or some free agent all winter long. Really for two 148 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: inters now hasn't happened. And I'm not sure Burns wants 149 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: to go there because the thing I've heard in recent 150 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: days is that he would prefer to return to the 151 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: West Coast. He has a home in Arizona. He's from Bakersfield, California. 152 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: He attended Saint Mary's in the Bay Area. He's a 153 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: West Coast guy. The Giants are the obvious fire. It's 154 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: all lining up for them. The question is do they 155 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: want to pay him? Are they willing to go to 156 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: the lens that is going to be necessary to get 157 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: Corbyn Burns under contract. The only other West Coast team 158 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: I can see getting in on this would be believed 159 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: it or not the Los Angeles Angels because every once 160 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: in a while Artie Moreno as the owner, that's something 161 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: that we don't expect. 162 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 2: Now, I don't think this is going to happen there. 163 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: I don't know that Burns would want to go to 164 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: the Angels. But there's no other West Coast team that 165 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: is spending to that degree. The Dodgers have spent. They're 166 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: not going to do it again for Corbyn Burns I 167 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't expect. So this is going to be really interesting 168 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: because the question to me is which club is going 169 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: to pay. Will the Red Sox step up, will the 170 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: Oriole step up? Or will the Giants the most logical destination. 171 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: In my opinion, be the team for Corbyn Burns. 172 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: Ken Let's circle back to the Red Sox for a second, 173 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 3: because you, as you mentioned, you went from the Chicago 174 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: White Sox to the Red Sox and you mentioned also 175 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: that John Henry's not necessarily the guy that likes to 176 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 3: extend pitchers. However, does it make sense to extend Crochet? 177 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: Now that's my first question in regards to the Red Sox, 178 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 3: and also are they done? Could they be looking for 179 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 3: another bat? Another top tier arm. I mean, what do 180 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 3: you think is next for the Red Sox. In addition 181 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: to will they extend Crochet now instead of waiting until later? 182 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: I don't know that they'll do it now. I would 183 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: wait frankly, and I understand that it's two years out 184 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: and let's see how he adapts to Boston. I don't 185 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: expect it'll be a problem, but let's see how it 186 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: works out. Let's see if he stays healthy. And yes, 187 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: the price will rise as he gets closer to free agency. 188 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 2: It will become more difficult. 189 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: But I don't know that I would want to do 190 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: it right now. The other big deed that they have 191 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: is a right handed bat. We've been talking about this 192 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: since the season. Mid season really and you might say, well, 193 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: why not Alex Bregman. Alex Korra, the manager, talked up 194 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman big time here at these meetings. They've also 195 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: been linked to Tayorz Anthony Santander. They definitely need someone 196 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: from the right side to compliment Devors as a great 197 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: left handed slugger that he is. 198 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 2: They're two left handed, They're overly left handed, but. 199 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: Yet right now their focus is still pitching, so to 200 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: me for them, a trade for Louis Castillo makes a 201 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: lot of sense. I don't know if the Mariners want 202 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: to do it, And they talked off season about how 203 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: they don't want a trade from their pitching blah blah blah. 204 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: Well give them enough in returnable trade from their pitching 205 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: and CASI guy. 206 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: Three years. 207 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: That's not ten years or six years or whatever it's 208 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: going to take for some of the free agents. So 209 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: I would think that's a route that they are at 210 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: least exploring. It's been reported that they are exploring that route, 211 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: and that one might make the most sense for them, 212 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,479 Speaker 1: but they have to address their lack of right handed. 213 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: Hitting as well. 214 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 3: I wonder where Louis Castillo is going to be today's birthday, 215 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 3: by the way, but I think that Jerry Depoto can 216 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 3: kind of be talked into anything. The man loves to 217 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 3: wheel and deal as far as trades are concerned. Let 218 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 3: me ask you this, when you talk about the Red Sox, 219 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 3: you automatically have to talk about the New York Yankees. 220 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 3: Obviously they missed out on so not from lack of try, 221 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 3: and they gave him a very very honorable deal, but 222 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 3: they end up getting Max Freed which I love that. 223 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 3: As far as the Yankees are concerned, what is their 224 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 3: next move, as far as their next pivot, what do 225 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 3: they need? You don't spend seven sixty or seven to 226 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 3: sixty five on Sodo. So you can get a first baseman, 227 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 3: you could get a infielder, you could get a couple 228 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 3: of pitchers. What's next for them? 229 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 2: A lot of I don't know. 230 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: And what's really interesting about them is they are in 231 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: a position and they are taking advantage of this position 232 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: where they can explore everything that they want to explore. 233 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: It might not transpire the way they want it, but 234 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: they've been linked to Bregman, to Christian Walker, to Tayo 235 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: Hernandez to all of these different players. They still need 236 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: to address their bullpen as well. 237 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 2: And really, in my. 238 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: View, Tucker is the perfect fit because unlike the Red Sox, 239 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: they're overly right handed. They need a left handed bat, 240 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: not to give them what Sodo gave them, but a 241 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: guy to balance the lineup a little bit more. Cody 242 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: Bellinger makes a lot of sense for them in a trade, 243 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: and that's been talked about as a possibility. You get Tucker, 244 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: you get Bellinger, you fix the bullpen, You sign a 245 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: first baseman. Well, maybe Bellinger plays first base. It's a 246 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: pretty interesting group. It's a different team. It's going to 247 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: be a different team then they've had in the last 248 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: year or so, at least with Sodo, because it's not 249 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: going to be the same kind of offensive force that 250 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: the Yankees have been. But they can get better defensively 251 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: with Tucker and Bellinger. They can also do some things 252 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: with the pitching that may make them a better run 253 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: prevention team. So I kind of like where the Yankees are. 254 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: But at the same time, let's make no mistake, Alana. 255 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: After this all happened with Sodo, some people were writing, 256 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: some people were saying, and you even hear this from 257 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: some Yankees people, Ah, this is the way it turned out. 258 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 2: For the best. 259 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: We wanted it this way. 260 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: It's okay. 261 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: No, you offered Juan Soto seven hundred and sixty million dollars. 262 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: You wanted Jon Soto, that was your number one target. Now, 263 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: there are ways to make a really good team without 264 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: Jan Soto, and there is a history of teams doing 265 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: really well after losing free agents the caliber of Wan Soto. 266 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: But let's make no mistake, the Yankees wanted it once. 267 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 3: I mean if jan Sota was a Yankee, the that 268 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 3: would have been like, this is the greatest thing ever. 269 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 3: We did everything that we could. We got him here. 270 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 3: We are all right, Let's move on to Grill and Ken, 271 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 3: and guys, don't forget to get your questions in for 272 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 3: Ken Rosenthal as he is wrapping up his time at 273 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 3: the winter meetings there at the Anatole in Texas. And 274 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 3: we have a question. The first one, Ken is on 275 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 3: the Toronto Blue Jays. I mean, this is a team, 276 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 3: as you mentioned, the last couple of years, they're like, 277 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: please take our money. This year in the off season, 278 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 3: last year in the off season. Nobody seems to want 279 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 3: to go to Toronto. So the first question we have 280 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 3: here for Grill and Ken from Ryan Roberts, does he 281 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 3: men is in Toronto? Mean Baschett's days in Toronto are numbered? 282 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: I thought Bachett's days in Toronto were numbered even before 283 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: this trade. But what this does for them is give 284 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: them an alternative season if they want to move Bhit, sorry, 285 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: move him in as over to Baschette's position after he 286 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: possibly departs as a free agent. Now, this trade was 287 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: really interesting and some people thought, well Toronto took all 288 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: that money. Jimenez has not hit the last two years. 289 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 2: But no, I like it. 290 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: I like it for Toronto because Jimenez is a really 291 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: good player now. He's an elite defender, a top five defender. 292 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: He's been a Platinum Glove winner. He is a magician 293 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: at second base, which is one reason I wouldn't be 294 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: so inclined necessarily to move him to short when he's 295 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: so good at second. But I know the offense has 296 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: been down, but the Blue Jays expected to rebound some 297 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: and I think that's a reasonable expectation. 298 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: They didn't give up much. 299 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,359 Speaker 1: They give up Spencer Horwitz and a minor league outfielder, 300 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: and in a time when they've had a difficult time 301 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: getting free agents to take their money, this is a 302 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: guy that they'll pay five years, ninety six point five million. 303 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 2: It might be a little bit above what he deserved 304 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 2: in this market. I'm not so sure it is. 305 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I feel like everyone's overpaying, right. 306 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: I love Andres Jmanez and the Blue Jays. 307 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: I've questioned their strategy. 308 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: I don't love the way they've gone about it. 309 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: But if you're looking for a movie that's gonna help you, 310 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: this move should help them now. He might be the 311 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: infield version of Dalton var Show, great defender who doesn't 312 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: hit much. 313 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 2: Okay, but I still like the trade. It was a 314 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: good trade for them. 315 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you. I like the way that 316 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 3: he's a please, a scrappy player, much like most of 317 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 3: the guys on that Cleveland Guardians team is. Here's another question, 318 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 3: this one from Jay. If no Tao meaning Taskar Hernandez, 319 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 3: could the Dodgers trade for Rooker? Also, could Aronado and 320 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: Munsey if healthy, cover Tao's production? Arguably Ken, as a 321 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 3: Dodger fan myself, I really thought that Tao was the MVP. 322 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 3: Aside from show Hey o Tani in the first half 323 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 3: of the season, Tao was everything for the Dodgers as 324 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 3: far as that lineup was concerned. A. Why hasn't LA 325 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 3: signed him yet? Does the Confordo signing make it seem 326 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 3: like Tao's not probably going to the Dodgers again? And 327 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 3: then to answer Jay's question, could Ronado and Munsei if 328 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 3: Arnato actually goes to LA, could that cover Tao's production 329 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 3: that they would lose without him in that lineup? 330 00:14:58,920 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 2: Okay, first of. 331 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: All, Rooker not getting traded David forst the HGM has 332 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: been very clear about that. As for Arnado, that is 333 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: not a path. I foresee the Dodgers going down that 334 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: Max Monsey to play third base. They can solve the 335 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: need for another right handed bat in that lineup another way, 336 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: and it's in the outfield. 337 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: I fully expect Tao to be back there. 338 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: I know we're going through the machinations of free agency 339 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: and the leverage plays by both sides. It's typical stuff, 340 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: but I still expect that at the end of the day, 341 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: he's going to be a Los Angeles Dodger, and the 342 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: signing of Confordo, who's a left handed hitter, doesn't really 343 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: affect that at all. Tao is still a perfect fit 344 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: for them from the right side, and he wants to 345 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: be there. He's been very vocal about wanting to be there. 346 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of getting to the right place 347 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: with the contract, and I expect that they will. The 348 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: other thing to watch with the Dodgers we've written about 349 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: is having on DAYA has written about this. They are 350 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: hot on a late inning reliever, whether it's signing Tanner 351 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: Scott as a free agent or trading for Devin Williams. 352 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: I expect them to do one of those two things. 353 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, Andre Friedman typically doesn't give 354 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 3: massive contracts to relievers. Tanner Scott's probably going to warrant it. 355 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 3: Do you think Tanner Scott's a legitimate fit there or 356 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 3: do you think they go more of the Devin Williams 357 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 3: route for a shorter period of time. 358 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: Devin Williams is one year, Tanner Scott could be what 359 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: three or four, and you're right, Andrew Friedman does not. 360 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: Like to go that route. 361 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: They've had good success at finding guys like Evan Phillips 362 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: and Jessa and guys who really weren't big names, and 363 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: they've turned them into quality relievers. At the same time, 364 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: they know all about Tanner Scott. He was the Otani 365 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: kryptonite in the playoffs. He is a guy that has 366 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: had command issues and at times doesn't throw enough strikes. 367 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 2: But he's very much coveted right now and rightly so. 368 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: I expect him too well in free agency, but I 369 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: don't believe that will deter the Dodgers. It seems to 370 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: me that they're in on him, and yes, the alternative 371 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: or maybe is to trade for Devin Williams. I'm not 372 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: sure Devin Williams a pretty good solution, no doubt. And 373 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: as a one year guy, a one year reliever, who's 374 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: gonna pitch what sixty sixty five innings? 375 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 2: You're not gonna have to give up the farm. So 376 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: it would takes quality. It would take some. 377 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: Quality to get Devin Williams out of Milwaukee. But at 378 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: the same time, it wouldn't be the same type of 379 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: price that you would pay for Tanner Scott, which would 380 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:23,959 Speaker 1: be sheer dollars. 381 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, and of course this is an addition to Blake 382 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: trying and going back on a two year, twenty two 383 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 3: million dollar deal. Part of those Dodgers' bullpen dogs all 384 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 3: another question here in regards to staying in the same division. 385 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 3: But this in regards to the Padres. Kadzilla wants to 386 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 3: know what the Padres trade to Tease Junior or Machado. 387 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: No, but they are in the middle of yet another 388 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: singing payroll crunch, and Dennis Lenna the Athletic wrote yesterday 389 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: about the possibility of trading Dylan Cease. Now, I remember 390 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: last year they traded for Dylan ceas he was a 391 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: big part of what they did. But because the Padres 392 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: are in this kind of weird position, financially, because Dylan 393 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: State is a free agent at the end of this season. 394 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 2: It's something that they are at least exploring. 395 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: And the teams that miss out on Burns, Red Sox Orioles, 396 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: Blue Jays, Giants, whichever teams miss out and other teams 397 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: as well, would be. 398 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 2: On Dylan Ceas. 399 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: I would think the Cleveland Guardians would be interested in 400 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: the trade for Dylan Ceas. I would think the Tampa 401 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: Bay Rays would be interested for one year of Dylan Sees. 402 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 2: That's a good deal for a low revenue team as well. 403 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 2: So Tatisa Machado aren't going anywhere. 404 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 1: They both have long deals and they both have no 405 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: trade clauses. That's not where they're out the Padres, But 406 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: a trade of Cease that could be something that we 407 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: hear more about in the coming days, and that. 408 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 3: Might be something that the Padres can withstand because they 409 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 3: do have such a good starting rotation and still be 410 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 3: able to compete and you know, kind of get rid 411 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 3: of that contract as well. All right, Jersey Joe once 412 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 3: the top free agent sign Who were the best bargain 413 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 3: free agents out there this year that teams should be 414 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 3: looking at. So who's the best bargain on the board 415 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 3: right now. 416 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: Ken, Wow, that's a great question, Alana, And off the 417 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: top of my head, I'm not exactly sure, but Jack 418 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: Flowherty is intriguing to me. 419 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 2: Now. 420 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: I don't expect he's going to get six years. He 421 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: probably will get three to four years. He's still relatively young. 422 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to be a bargain. So 423 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 2: maybe he. 424 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: Doesn't fit the criteria here, but he's one guy that 425 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: we haven't talked a lot about and yet is going 426 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: to be somewhat in demand, no question about that. I 427 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: can't think of any bargains right now at a time 428 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: when backup catchers are geting eight and a. 429 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 2: Half a million dollars. 430 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: Danny Janson got eight and a half million, Gary Sanjez 431 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: got eight and a half million. 432 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 2: Neither had a particularly great year. 433 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: So we're talking about bargains, we'll probably stretching a little bit, 434 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: but I don't know. Maybe the team that gets Austin 435 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: Hayes will be the team that gets him relatively cheaply 436 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: and is happy with that move. 437 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know a couple of catchers that would like 438 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 3: to be playing in this overpaid market. As far as 439 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 3: that's concerned. All right, So from Girl and Ken, let's 440 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 3: make our move to dude of the week. 441 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: Dude, dude, dude, all. 442 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 3: Right, a great opportunity for Ken and I to give 443 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 3: kudos to a dude or dudet of the week. Who 444 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 3: do you like this week? 445 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: Ken? 446 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: My dude of the week? 447 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: Actually two people the gms who completed that trade yesterday 448 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: between the Red Sox and the White Sox. That would 449 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: be Craig Breslow from the Red Sox and Chris Gets 450 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: from the White Sox. Those two guys both had taken 451 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: some heat. Chris Gets because of the trades that he 452 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: made at the deadline, the one involving Fetti and Fam 453 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: and Michael Kopek didn't. 454 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 2: Seem to get a great return there. 455 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: And Craig Breslow because well, he had not really made 456 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: a big move and people were wondering is he willing 457 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: to get uncomfortable? 458 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 2: He got uncomfortable yesterday. 459 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: He created a pretty good package, a really good package 460 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: in the estimation of some to the White Soide to 461 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: get two years of Garrett Crochet. 462 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 2: So they are due to the week. 463 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 3: All right. We can finally put the will Garrett Crochet 464 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 3: trade rumors to bed. Yes, he got traded. Finally we 465 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 3: can move on from that, all right, My dude to 466 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 3: the week. We don't talk about this enough. I would 467 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 3: have loved to have seen Willi Adamas and a Dodgers' uniform. 468 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,479 Speaker 3: But my dude of the week is the San Francisco Giants. 469 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 3: I mean a couple of years. Obviously, they didn't get 470 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 3: Aaron Judge, they didn't get Carlos Correa. I'm sure they 471 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 3: are happy about that, but there's been a lot of 472 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 3: turnover in that organization as far as front office obviously 473 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 3: and managerial stuff. And I think Willi Adamas for the 474 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 3: San Francisco Giants is an unbelievable fit. I think he's underrated, 475 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 3: probably because he was in Milwaukee. Maybe a lot of 476 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 3: folks don't know, you know, how good of a guy 477 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 3: he is, how good of a player he is. I 478 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 3: think this is a really nice get for the Giants. 479 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 3: Can I don't know what you feel about it, but 480 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 3: that they're might due to the week for the Giants. 481 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: Good call. 482 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: I love Willia Damas and he's certainly a guy that 483 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: I don't know that he's a great player. 484 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 2: He's a really good player, and he's going to help them. 485 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: They're gonna have left side field with as and Matt Chapman. 486 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: The doamas has this infectious energy about him. The metrics 487 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,239 Speaker 1: defensively last year weren't as good as they had been 488 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: in the past. 489 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 2: That's a concern. But he'll be energized there. He'll bring 490 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 2: a lot of energy to that team, to that city. 491 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 2: And to me, that was a big move by San Francisco. 492 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 2: I liked it. 493 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, they needed to do something. Okay, now it is 494 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 3: time for our John Fisher Dork of the week. All right, Ken, 495 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 3: you get the honors. 496 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 2: Well, I hate to name this guy dork of the week, 497 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 2: but after looking at. 498 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: Him in the mirror of this morning again, after pondering 499 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: what happened yesterday when I reported returned for the trade 500 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: with Crochet, I'm gonna have to name myself dork of 501 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: the week. Now here's the problem with this tweet, the 502 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: original tweet. I've got the White Sox getting Crochet. No, 503 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: the White Sox high Crochet, and I've got the Red 504 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: Sox getting all those problems. 505 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 2: Have those prospects. Now, I'll explain why this happened. There's 506 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 2: no excuse, all right, there is no excuse. 507 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: Everybody could tell what was going on before I set 508 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: the second tweet out. But let's face it, you're trying 509 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: to go fast, and you're trying to go as fast 510 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: as you can to get those names out as quickly 511 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: as possible. I would maybe have not named myself dork 512 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: of the. 513 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 2: Week if I hadn't done it the day before. As well. 514 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 2: With Nick Sandlan, I had him going to the wrong team. 515 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 2: He's trade, so dork of the week. 516 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,239 Speaker 3: Ken rosenall, that's all right, It's no worse than when 517 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 3: I said I think that the Dodgers should get rid 518 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 3: of Tommy Edmond and Max Munsey and getting Olon Arnado. 519 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 3: And then I completely had a brain fart and was like, 520 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 3: what am I doing? So I get it. Sometimes you 521 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 3: have to point the finger inward, Ken, Sometimes you have 522 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 3: to point the finger inward. All right, my dork of 523 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 3: the week, I actually have two. My first one this 524 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 3: made me laugh. Jim Salberry, the co host of The 525 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 3: Philly Show, captured this at the Winter Meeting four dollars 526 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 3: for a banana. It reminds me of that skit that's like, 527 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 3: how much is whatever that ten dollars for a banana? 528 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, what are we doing, What are we doing? 529 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 3: A banana's four dollar? But that made me laugh. It's 530 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 3: just ridiculous inflation, man, it's getting everybody. And then the 531 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 3: second one is David Frost denying the report that the 532 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 3: that made the A's look like they were willing to 533 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 3: spend so Martin Diego's saying that the David forced rather sorry, 534 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 3: said the reports of the A's aggressively pursuing Max Freed 535 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 3: were untrue. Why do you say no, Let people think 536 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 3: you're actually trying to spend money. 537 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 2: Let people think. 538 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 3: That you're like, yeah, you're in it, You're you know, 539 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 3: you got you got Severino. Why not go after you 540 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 3: know a couple of other other folks. People don't know 541 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 3: that you're not. 542 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: That would quite an ex that. 543 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 2: Would create false expectations. 544 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: And they are trying to spend a little bit. We 545 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: detailed that in the story this week, that they have 546 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: to spend in compliance with the CBA and the revenue 547 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: sharing money that they're getting, But they weren't about to 548 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: spend on Max Freed. 549 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 3: That wasn't that's so funny though. They're like I would 550 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 3: have been like, yep, we're trying. We're totally trying, even 551 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 3: though we know that that's absolutely not happening.
