I'll give you my thoughts. 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: Coaching staff. We did have an announcement on the coaching staff. 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 2: One minor change. That was it, but a lot of 27 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: people questioning one of the coaches there why there wasn't 28 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: a change. I'll get into that in just a little bit. 29 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: And then we got some off season predictions for the 30 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: Red Sox from ESPN. ESPN they're always putting out some 31 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: interesting things. If it's not Jeff Passon, there's always some 32 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: interesting takes coming from ESPN. I'll react to those. I'll 33 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: give you my thoughts on those by the end of 34 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: the show here.

This is what Scott 45 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: Boris does every single offseason. We saw with Alex Bregman 46 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: last offseason, you know, looking for multi year deals. 47 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: That's how it always is with. 48 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: Scott Boris clients. He's looking for all the money, he's 49 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: looking for all the years. He's looking for a yacht. 50 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 2: He's looking for silk pajamas on top of that yacht 51 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: with some you know, some fancy I don't know whatever else. See, 52 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: he's looking for everything, mister Scott Borises, and this is 53 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: no different, right go back to Jad Martinez in twenty eighteen. 54 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: That offseason he was looking for seven years over two 55 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars. People are like, wow, you know, yeah, 56 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: Jad Martinez very good hitter, but man, oh man, that's 57 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 2: a lot for a guy that's pretty much gonna be 58 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: a DH And what if Jad Martinez end up getting well, 59 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 2: he ended up getting a five year, one hundred ten 60 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 2: million dollar deal. Let me go back to the last 61 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: off season, Alex Bregman looking for multi year sense of 62 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: settling for the short term deal high aav We've seen 63 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: it time and time again when it comes to Scott 64 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: Boris's clients, and I don't think this is going to 65 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: be any different. 66 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: Here's the thing with Pete Alonzo. 67 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: Now, some of you might be asking, well, why couldn't 68 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo, you know, get himself a seven year deal, 69 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: especially you know with the run production that he's been 70 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: able to bring to the table, the power that he's 71 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: been able to bring. 72 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. 73 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: When it comes to first basement, especially ones that are 74 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: going into their thirties, you know, power hitting first baseman, 75 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: they tend to wear down a little quicker than other 76 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: players out there. Pete Alonso, big guy, he's the polar bear, right, 77 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: and they just tend to have that track record tied 78 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 2: to him, right. And you take a look at some 79 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,119 Speaker 2: of the bigger first basement contracts over the years. Yes, 80 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: I know, vlad he just got a massive contract from 81 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 2: the Blue Jays before the start of last season this season, 82 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 2: But that's different, right, that was an extension, homegrown player. 83 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: They wanted to keep him around for life, and you know, 84 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 2: still young. It's a little different circumstances there, right, But 85 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: when it comes to free agents, you have not really 86 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: seen those eight year, nine year, ten year deals for 87 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: a lot of those first basement on the market. Yes 88 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: you have seen them, right, You go back to Albert Pooholes, 89 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 2: that massive contract that he got from the Angels, Prince 90 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: Fielder got that big old contract. But look at how 91 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: those contracts ended up turning out not very good all right. Now, 92 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman, he got himself a six year deal with 93 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: the Dodgers, right, Paul Goldschmidt he got an extension. He 94 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: was getting close to f agency, but they worked out 95 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 2: a five year deal. So I think that's what you're 96 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 2: gonna end up seeing with Alonzo. I think it's gonna 97 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: end up being probably around five or six years. That 98 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: is my prediction, just based off of the track record. 99 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: Now with Alonzo, how much is it going to cost 100 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: to get this guy? Well, you know, there's a couple 101 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: of factors that come into play, right, you know when 102 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 2: it comes to thinking of what a contract. 103 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: Could look like. 104 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: Right, we already went over the years, but what could 105 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: the dollar amount be? Right, Well, if you take a 106 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: look at Pete Alonzo here this past season hit two 107 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: seventy two, three forty seven on base, a five to 108 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: twenty four on the slugging a one forty one WRC 109 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: plus very good numbers overall, a three point six wins 110 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 2: above replacement. Now, that would have been a lot higher 111 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: if he was somewhat good defensively, but Pete Alonzo one 112 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: of the worst defensive first basement out there. Now, first 113 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: base doesn't necessarily have a high fielding value when it 114 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: comes to the positions out there, right, but still you 115 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 2: would like your first baseman to still play good defense, right, 116 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: still play good defense. You look at Freddy Freeman, you 117 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: look at Matt Olsen. Those guys are very good over 118 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: there at first base, right. So Pete Alonso, when it 119 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: comes to wins above replacement, over the last four years, 120 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: he's averaged right around a free war all right. And 121 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 2: in today's game, the average cost per win according to Fangrafts, 122 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 2: you're looking at right around nine million dollars per win 123 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: above replacement. So Alonso, he's been averaging right around a 124 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: three wins above replacement over the last four years. I 125 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: think it's safe to say, you know, he's gonna be 126 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 2: turning thirty one years old. Here, I think he still 127 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: has a few good seasons, few very good seasons left 128 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: in the tank. I think you could say he could 129 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 2: be a three war average over the next three seasons. Right, 130 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 2: So if you do the math again, it's on average 131 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 2: nine million dollars per win. It's gonna it's gonna vary 132 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: from organization to organization, but on average, right, three war 133 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 2: times nine million, you're looking at around twenty seven million 134 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: per year. But then you got a factor in the 135 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: regression on the back half of the deal. 136 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: Let's say that war. 137 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: Drops down maybe anywhere from two to to two and 138 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: a half, you're looking at around twenty two to twenty 139 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: three million dollars per year. Add all that up together, 140 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: you're looking at one hundred and forty eight and a 141 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 2: half million dollars over a six year deal. 142 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: Right. 143 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: Add in a bit of a bit more, you know, 144 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: when it comes to the bidding the market, right, maybe 145 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 2: say ten percent, Right, I'm sure Alonso's gonna have some 146 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: bidders out there, and Scott Boris, you know what he 147 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: does every offseason, He's gonna hold out into the very 148 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: last moment, right, And uh so, maybe add maybe ten 149 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 2: percent on that. I wouldn't be surprised at all of 150 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: Alonzo ends up getting anywhere from one fifty one sixty, 151 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: maybe one seventy, but I highly doubt he's gonna get 152 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 2: higher than one seventy. I think somewhere one fifty to 153 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: one sixty that sounds about right. And I think with 154 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: Alonzo as well, well, you gotta think last offseason did 155 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: not go his way. And I think if they get 156 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: an offer, if he sees something on the table where 157 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: he's like, okay, you know what, I think that sounds 158 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: pretty good. Let's let's not try to push this. Let's 159 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 2: take that right. So, I think if he sees something 160 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: that he thinks is fair, and especially after our last 161 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: offseason went, I. 162 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: Think you'll see him sign, right. 163 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he's obviously not Jan Soto by 164 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: any means, but Juan Soto, Scott Boris client. You know, 165 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 2: he didn't hold out the entire offseason, right, They got 166 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: that done pretty quick. So I think Alonso, that's what 167 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 2: I think he's gonnaded up getting. I'd say one to 168 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 2: one sixty. I think that's fair. You know, six year deal. 169 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: You know, let's say Max, I think if it's a 170 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: five year deal, I think you'd see anywhere from like 171 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 2: one thirty to one fifty. That's what I'm thinking for 172 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 2: mister Pete Alonzo. Now, should the Red Sox spend that 173 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 2: kind of money. Well, I've talked about this with Pete Alonzo. 174 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 2: I think it'd be a great fit. The power back, 175 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 2: right handed bat at Famway Park. It makes a ton 176 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: of sense. He said very well at Famiway Park in 177 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: his career, he does very well with the runners in 178 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: scoring position. Even if you you know, sign Peter Alonzo 179 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: and you know, still hang on to Nate Low, you 180 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 2: could still make that work for this coming year. Right, 181 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: they can share time between first base DH. You know, 182 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 2: Nate Low he can play mostly against the righties. You 183 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: can bring in a right handed bat as your DH 184 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 2: right against left handed pitching, you know, and Alonso he 185 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: can split time between first and D. I think it 186 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense to bringing Peter Alonzo. We'll 187 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: see though, We'll see, but I see the Red Sox 188 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 2: being aggressive. That's going to tie into what we're going 189 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: to talk about the ESPN predictions by the end of 190 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: the show. But yeah, Peter Alonzo, I think makes all 191 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: the sense in the world for the Red Sox. We'll 192 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 2: see how it ends up going though. I think a 193 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 2: lot of teams are going to be in the mix. 194 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised, you know, obviously the Mets. I 195 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: think they're gonna want to keep him around. I wouldn't 196 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 2: even be surprised at all. Of you see a team, 197 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: maybe even it's a small market team, but like the 198 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds. I mean, I think Alonzo would mash in 199 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 2: Cincinnati if there was ever a time for the Reds 200 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: to maybe splurge. 201 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: I wonder if this could. 202 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: Be a moment right where they need power in that lineup, 203 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 2: and I don't know, well the Reds outbid, you know, 204 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 2: a team like the Red Sox to get it done, 205 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. I got to look out for the Yankees. 206 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 2: Could the Yankees be in play, right? They got a 207 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 2: few guys becoming free agents, you know, could you see 208 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: something like that possibly? 209 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: I think so. 210 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be teams in the mix when 211 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: it comes to Pete Alonso. I think there's gonna be 212 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: a decent market for him. I think the Red Sox 213 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 2: make a ton of sense. So let's move on here, 214 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: Let's move on. We have a bit of news when 215 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: it comes to the coaching staff, and you know, we 216 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: were all kind of wondering about this. You know, what's 217 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 2: the Red Sox coaching staff gonna look like after a 218 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: successful season and you know, now that you're firmly in 219 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 2: a competitive window, people will wondering, Man, what's gonna happen 220 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: with Kyle Hudson as a third base coach? 221 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: Had he had a few issues this past year. 222 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: Well, Kyle Hudson, He's staying in the Fold. And there 223 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 2: was only one coaching change for twenty twenty six and 224 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 2: that is assistant hitting coach Ben Rosenthal. 225 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: He will not be coming back. You know, I don't know. 226 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: I'm not sure what the reasoning is for that. A 227 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: lot of people also were mentioning up Peter Fatzi, you know, 228 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: should he come back. Remember the Red Sox offense, they 229 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: were very up and down in the beginning of twenty 230 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 2: twenty five. They ended up getting their act together. Roman 231 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: Anthony obviously helped out a lot of things. But the 232 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: Red Sox with Roman Anthony in the fold, they had 233 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: a top ten offense. They were top they ranked top 234 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 2: ten in WRC plus when Roman Anthony was in that lineup, 235 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 2: So Fatcy I know there was a lot of inconsistencies 236 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: there in the beginning. Let's see how they end up 237 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 2: doing for twenty twenty six fats. He's been there for 238 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: a while now, and obviously they did produce again when 239 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 2: Roman was healthy. But as for Kyle Hudson, there were 240 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: a couple of little blunders that, especially one of the 241 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: postseason that we saw that a lot of people were thinking, 242 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 2: what is going on here with Kyle Hudson as the 243 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: third base coach. Well, you go back to the postseason, 244 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 2: right Game two against the Yankees, Nate Eaton not being 245 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: sent home. He was rounding third looking like, okay, that 246 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 2: could have been a you know, it would have been 247 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 2: a close play at the plate, and you know, Jazz 248 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: chism there was a groundball from Masa ended up bobbling it. 249 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 2: He made an off balance throw. Ben Rice ended up 250 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 2: dropping the ball. Hindsight, yeah, Nate Eaton would have scored. 251 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 2: But let's say that the Yankees, you know, let's say 252 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: Ben Rice ended up catching it right, ended up being 253 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 2: a clean play from him, but because and again it 254 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: was a bang bang play, but Jazz was off balance there. 255 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: You know, I just feel like personally, that would. 256 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 2: Have been a moment to send Eaton home because the 257 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 2: guy's got speed, uber athletic. I think it would have 258 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: made a lot of sense, but he ended up holding 259 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 2: him there. You know, in a big time moment like 260 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: that in the postseason, I felt like that was the 261 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: time to be aggressive, but Hudson and up holding him, 262 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 2: and a lot of Red Sox fans are unhappy about that. 263 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 2: You go back to a couple of moments during the season. 264 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: There was that one game against the Orioles, I believe 265 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: it was extra. 266 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: Innings kind of the same thing, ended up holding eating. 267 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 2: A third base, and uh, you know, people were wondering like, oh, 268 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 2: what's going on here? I don't know, Maybe they get 269 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 2: a little bit more aggressive for next year. But here's 270 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 2: the thing, this is why Kyle Hudson is back in 271 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: the fold. The Red Sox were fourth and base running 272 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 2: this year. When it came to base running runs above average. 273 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: They were fourth overall in all of Major League Baseball 274 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: this year. 275 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 2: So yes, I know, you know, when you're putting things 276 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: under a microscope, when you see, you know, a few 277 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 2: glaring plays ended up working against you, you're gonna think 278 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: about those, right, especially. 279 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: In a big time moment in the postseason. 280 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 2: But when you're looking at the whole picture, the Red 281 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: Sox were a good base running team. Yes, you know, 282 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 2: they had some guys with speed that definitely helped things out. 283 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: It's that doesn't fully represent the base running coat or 284 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: the the base coaches obviously, But for the most part, 285 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 2: they were a good base running team. And I think 286 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: when you look at the larger sample size, Hudson probably 287 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 2: he did better than you would think, right, And obviously, 288 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 2: you know, they just had those couple of glaring plays 289 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: that really stood out. I think in the end, you know, 290 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 2: going to twenty twenty six that this past year will 291 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: be a learning be a learning experience, right, And I 292 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 2: think you'll see more often than not we're you know, 293 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 2: they'll they'll get aggressive, right, and they'll send some runners home. 294 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: Right. That's what I think. 295 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 2: That's what I think the reasoning is really the Red 296 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: Sox this year they made There were a lot of 297 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 2: positives with this Red Sox team. We've already talked about 298 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty five Red Sox at nauseum at this point, 299 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 2: you know, we're moving on here. But there were a 300 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 2: lot of good things. In the end, lack of you know, 301 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: a lack of a number two in the rotation. Injuries 302 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: did not help out this team at all. You know, 303 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: key injuries as well to big don players like Roman right, 304 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: Marcela Meyer also going down that didn't help. So, you know, 305 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 2: I don't I don't think the coaching staff was necessarily 306 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: you know, I think when you're looking for scapegoats and 307 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 2: when you have those big glaring moments like that, especially 308 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: on the on the on the big stage, you know, yeah, 309 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: it's gonna be easy to point fingers. 310 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: I get it. 311 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 2: Kyle Hudson, he did make a couple of a couple 312 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: of bad moves, right, but let's see if they can 313 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: adjust in twenty twenty six. Also, Jason vera Tek his 314 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: contract is up as well. We'll see what There is 315 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 2: no announcement on that yet. I would imagine he's still 316 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 2: gonna be around and he's gonna be with the Red 317 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 2: Sox for life. So I'm not worried about that whatsoever. 318 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: I think Vera Tech will be back. It's just a 319 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: matter of at least in my opinion, it's more when 320 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: instead of if, right, we're gonna get to the ESPN 321 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: article here in just a second, we do have to 322 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 2: talk about tonight's sponsor.

Obvious, we just talked about it earlier. 330 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: The Mariners going to town here on the Blue Jays. 331 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 2: They went with a final of ten to three here 332 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 2: today to take a two to zero series lead. That's 333 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: pretty crazy, man. They're going back to Seattle. I mean, 334 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: they play so well in Seattle, that pitching staff, I mean, 335 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: the Mariners are in really good shape here. The fact 336 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: that they went to Toronto and they took two This 337 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: is gonna be tough here. The Blue Jays, they had 338 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 2: a ton of momentum going into that series. We'll see 339 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: what ends up happening, but you can catch that on 340 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 2: Fox One.

Like 355 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 2: I said, Jeff Passing. Jeff Passon's the man. We all 356 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: love Jeff Passing, but when it comes to other opinions 357 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: from ESPN, it's been a little a little hit or 358 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 2: miss at the very least, right Passing, He's put out 359 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 2: some very good stuff over the years. But we had 360 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: another one here today. We had another one here. It 361 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 2: was actually from multiple contributors. This article on ESPN today. 362 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 2: It was off season questions for eliminated teams. So they 363 00:17:58,960 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 2: talked about the. 364 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: Cubs, the Tigers, right, the. 365 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 2: Phillies, Yankees, they got the Reds here as well, Guardians 366 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: Padres and he got the Red Sox down here. 367 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: This is from Show. 368 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 2: And Field on on ESPN, and uh so, I found 369 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 2: some of these to be very interesting. Let's kind of 370 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 2: go through this here, right, you know, you list the 371 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 2: key the key free agents. Alex Bregman, who I do 372 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 2: think is gonna opt out, Lucas Giolito has the mutual option, 373 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 2: Rob Refsnyder, Dustin May, Stephen Mattz don't. I don't think May, 374 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: Steven Mattz. I don't think they're coming back. 375 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: Rev Snyder. 376 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: I think it's really just a matter of what he 377 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 2: wants to do. I'd be shocked if he ended up 378 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 2: going to a different team. I think he's either gonna 379 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 2: come back to the Red Sox or just retire at 380 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 2: this point. But those are the key free agents. And 381 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 2: then he has the next section, the biggest offseason priority, 382 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 2: and he says re signing Bregman if he opts out, 383 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: and improving the starting pitching depth. Now, for me personally, 384 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 2: I agree, I think Bregman coming back is a priority, 385 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 2: but I look at it as a one A, one B, 386 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 2: one C kind. 387 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: Of a thing. 388 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 2: I think they need to get a number two for 389 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 2: the rotation, and I think they need a middle of 390 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: the order bat. And I do think the defense needs 391 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 2: to be improved in the infield with this team. But 392 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 2: I wouldn't necessarily put Bregman ahead of getting a number 393 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 2: two for the rotation as well as the middle of 394 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 2: the order bat. I think they're all kind of clustered 395 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 2: together there at the top. Now, when it comes to Bregman, obviously, 396 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 2: the batfit's a Fenway Park. 397 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: He saw what he did when he was healthy this year. Man, 398 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: that bat fit like a glove at Feenway Park. He 399 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: was great. 400 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 2: But what he brought to the table in terms of 401 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: his leadership, what he brought to the culture. You very 402 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 2: much appreciated the entire package that Bregman brought to the 403 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 2: Red Sox in twenty twenty five. But they absolutely need 404 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 2: a number two for the rotation. I'm gonna keep saying 405 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: that until I am just blue in the face. I mean, 406 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 2: we all know this. You need to get that done, 407 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: and you need some power behind Alex Bregman in the lineup. 408 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 2: But I agree, resigning Bregman is definitely a priority, but 409 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 2: it's not the only priority. 410 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: Now, this is where I disagree. 411 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 2: With this take when it comes to the pitching, improving 412 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: the starting pitching depth, well, no, I don't think the 413 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: depth needs to be improved at all. Like I said, 414 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 2: you need someone behind Garrett Crochet, you need someone for 415 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 2: the top, right. You know, you see a lot of 416 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 2: situations where you see a lot of top heavy rotations 417 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 2: and they lack depth. Well, I think the Red Sox 418 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: are a bit opposite. But yes, obviously they obviously have 419 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 2: a great option at the top with Crochet, but I 420 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 2: think they need a little bit more there. They have 421 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 2: plenty of depth there, right. You got Bao Giolito. If 422 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: he comes back, right, that's going to be even more depth. 423 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: But totally early. 424 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: They flashed some very good things this past year. Don't 425 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 2: forget about Cutter Crawford. He should come back at some 426 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 2: point next year. Patrick Sandoval should come back at some 427 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 2: point next year. Don't forget about Hundred Dobbins, Richard Fitz 428 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 2: those guys are going to be back at some point 429 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. You got Louis Parles pitching and 430 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 2: fall ball right now. There were talks of maybe even 431 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 2: Parles joining the Red Sox at the end of the 432 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 2: season last year. I mean that's that's something, and they're 433 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: very high on him. He's got an electric arm, He's 434 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 2: got good stuff. The Red Sox they have depth, Like 435 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 2: the old saying goes, you can never have too much pitching, 436 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 2: But they need someone at the top of the rotation, 437 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 2: not necessarily depth. When I think of depth, I think 438 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: of A three, A, four, A five, A six, seven. Right, 439 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 2: guys in the you know triple A that are on 440 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 2: the cusp. That's the depth that I think of, Right. 441 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 2: You need a number two like Joe Ryan on the 442 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 2: trade market, maybe Sandy al Contra. I'm looking at guys 443 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 2: on the free agent market, Dylan Ceeese. 444 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: You know. 445 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: The Red Sox they like that swinging admissibility. Will they 446 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: pay him the kind of money that Boris is gonna 447 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 2: be looking for? 448 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not sure about that one, right, but. 449 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 2: There are definitely gonna be options out there, and we'll 450 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 2: be talking about that plenty this coming off season. 451 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: Now. 452 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 2: When it comes to a couple other things that he 453 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 2: mentioned here, right when it came to his off season prediction, 454 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 2: he says, I think the Red Sox will play it 455 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 2: safe and bring back a similar roster. Well, I don't 456 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 2: agree with that. I really don't agree with that whatsoever. 457 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 2: Play it safe and bring back a similar roster, starting 458 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 2: with resigning Bregman. He goes on to say they could 459 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 2: then slide Meyer to second base. That would still leave 460 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: four outfielders plus Campbell, who started the season with a 461 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 2: lot of helium after making the opening day roster. But 462 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 2: his defense at second wasn't good and he didn't rip 463 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 2: up triple A after getting sent down. If anyone is 464 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 2: the odd man out, it's probably him. So he's the 465 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 2: one most likely to get traded. All right, So let's 466 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 2: unpack these couple of things here. Let's start off with 467 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 2: the playing it safe part. Of course, the Red Sox 468 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 2: they're gonna play it safe, I think in multiple ways, right. 469 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 2: I mean they're not gonna I mean they're not gonna 470 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 2: blow up the top of. 471 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: Their farm system. 472 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 2: I don't think necessarily to you know, go Land, you know, 473 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: someone along the lines, like like Paul Skeene. So I 474 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 2: don't think it's even gonna be available, or Trek's Scooble. 475 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 2: He's been the talk of the town here since the 476 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 2: Tigers have got knocked out. I don't see the Red 477 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 2: Sox necessarily doing something like that. But I could see 478 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 2: them giving up a couple of prospects for someone like 479 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 2: Joe Ryan. I think that's absolutely on the table. Now, 480 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 2: could you give up Connolly earlier Peyton totally? Now, if 481 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 2: you gave up one of those guys, I'd say you 482 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 2: are pushing the envelope. 483 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: A little bit right there. 484 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's I think they're gonna go a little 485 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 2: bit more than just playing it safe. We've seen this 486 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 2: over the years of the Red Sox. Right when they're 487 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 2: going into these competitive windows, they go out there and 488 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 2: they make those moves. You go all the way back 489 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 2: to two thousand and four, right when they're on the cusp, 490 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 2: they go out and go get a Kurt Shill and 491 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: Keith Folk. Right you go, they obviously went in two 492 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 2: thousand and four and seven. Right, You're getting all this 493 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: young talent coming up the pipe, right, Jacoby Elsburry, Dustin Bdroia, 494 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 2: Jonathan Paplebond looking great. 495 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: You get all these guys coming up to help that 496 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: core group. 497 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 2: They go out, they go get Dice, k jd Drew, 498 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 2: Julio Lugo, big off season right, twenty ten, very good 499 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,719 Speaker 2: core group. You know, you got some promising young talent 500 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 2: Obviously twenty eleven did not work out. They had multiple 501 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 2: injuries that year, but they tried to reinforce that roster 502 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 2: by going after Adrian Gonzalez Carl Crawford, landing both those guys. Right, 503 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 2: even you go twenty thirteen, they still had a good 504 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 2: core group, obviously after the nightmare Bobby Valentine's season, but 505 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 2: they went out there and made multiple moves to reinforce 506 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 2: the roster. Yes, they were kind of question marks, guys 507 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 2: like Mike Napolis, Shane Victorino, Johnny Gome, Stephen Drew, right, 508 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 2: but they still went out there and they made multiple moves, 509 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 2: and look what ended up happening. Right, you go back 510 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 2: to when they entered that competitive window after twenty fifteen, 511 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 2: good young talent, looks like they're ready to take a 512 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: next step. They go out and get David Price. Next offseason, 513 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 2: they go get Chris Sale, JD. Martinez. We've seen this 514 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 2: time and time again. Now that they're in a competitive 515 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 2: window once again, they have a good core group, they 516 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 2: got young talent here. I think you're gonna go see 517 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 2: them being a bit more aggressive. I don't think they're 518 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 2: just gonna sit there and play it safe. I mean 519 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 2: when I think play it safe, I think, okay, make 520 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 2: a couple of moves. You know, he mentions here you 521 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 2: go get someone like Meryl Kelly. Well, I disagree with 522 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 2: that one. I think Merril Kelly, I think he's gonna 523 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 2: go back to Arizona. Right, this is a guy that 524 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 2: he wants to go into his season in Arizona. Right, 525 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 2: He's an Arizona native, he's getting towards the end of 526 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 2: his career. Arizona's in a competitive window. I see that 527 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 2: probably happening. So I don't think the Red Sox are 528 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 2: just gonna go out there and go sign Merril Kelly 529 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 2: and calling a day's That's what I think he's saying here, right, 530 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: bring back Brugman and you know, stuff like that. But 531 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 2: I think the Red Sox are gonna do more than that. Personally. Again, 532 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 2: we've seen this under the John Henry ownership. They've gone 533 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: out there and made moves when they are in that 534 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 2: competitive window. Now that they are in it, I think 535 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 2: you're gonna see them push the envelope. But everybody watching on, nesson, 536 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 2: we do have to wrap it up right there. We 537 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,959 Speaker 2: are at a time. But if you want to come 538 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 2: see the rest of the show coming over to YouTube 539 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 2: moster territory and see what I gotta say. But everybody on, nesson, 540 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 2: I'll talk to you next time. When it comes to 541 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: the Christian Campbell take, I disagree with that one too. 542 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 2: I just don't agree with that. And I think that's 543 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: more so you're just looking at it from the perspective 544 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 2: where Okay, yeah, after the great April that he had, Yeah, 545 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 2: he kind of fell flat, right, Pictures figured him out. 546 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 2: They realized he couldn't pull the ball. They realized he 547 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: wasn't recognizing the off speed the breaking pictures as well, 548 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 2: and they went to town on him and they figured 549 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 2: him out. And that's what good pictures do in the 550 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 2: major leagues, right, they make adjustments. But I think the 551 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 2: Red Sox are still high on Christian Campbell very much. 552 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 2: I don't see why they would give up on him 553 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 2: at this point, especially after they just signed him to 554 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 2: a long term extension. There's a good player there, there's 555 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 2: a lot of talent there, and sure he kind of 556 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 2: fell on his face this year, but why would you 557 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 2: give up someone like Christian Campbell who has a lot 558 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 2: of promise with the bat, very athletic, has the ability 559 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 2: to play multiple positions. He's also a quick learner, and 560 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 2: he's also willing to go out there and go do 561 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 2: whatever it takes to help the team. I think there's 562 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 2: just a lot there where. Sure didn't really work out 563 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 2: this year, but you're just gonna give up on him 564 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 2: after one year after you kind of did rush him 565 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 2: through and he tried to be a bit aggressive, you know, Yeah, 566 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 2: he had to go back down to the minors, and 567 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 2: even if he ends up staying in the minor leagues, 568 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 2: next year, has a fresh start, starts at Worcester, and 569 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 2: then at some point, you know, maybe he can come 570 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: back up and. 571 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: Help the Red Sox. 572 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 2: Right, we just saw it this year, Marcella Meyer going down, 573 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 2: Roman Anthony going down. Why would you trade someone like 574 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 2: Christian Campbell who was just one of the top prospects 575 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 2: in all of Major League Baseball. Sure there were some 576 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 2: adjustments that he had to make this coming this past year, 577 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 2: but you go back to the last couple of seasons, right, 578 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 2: very good metrics down to the minors. There's no reason 579 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 2: in my opinion, to give up on Christian Campbell at 580 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 2: this point unless there is a trade that is just 581 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 2: way too good to turn down and they want Christian Campbell. Right, 582 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: of course, that could always happen. But to me, the 583 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 2: fact that he can play multiple positions, the fact that 584 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 2: he has that versatility, he's still very young, has upside 585 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: with the bat. You have some injury concerns on the 586 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 2: major league roster, Trevor Story, you know, listen, he had 587 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 2: a great year, but who knows, could story end up 588 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 2: having something else? You know, he made it this year, 589 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 2: but could something happen here in twenty twenty six. What 590 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 2: if he goes down Marcella Myers slides over to shortstop 591 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: and then Christian Campbell can take over a second, right, 592 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: So you have him in the fold, and then you 593 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 2: know that doesn't necessarily mean that's what his future is 594 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 2: going to be. Just backup, kind of a guy story. 595 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 2: He is gonna be a free agent after a couple 596 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: of years, right, And if you give Campbell a couple 597 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 2: of years, really, you know, try and figure things out, 598 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 2: mature more, you know, into this great player that I 599 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 2: definitely think he can be, and who knows, maybe he 600 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 2: can be that long term second base and maybe something 601 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 2: ends up happening with the outfield this year. 602 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: Right. 603 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 2: Jared Duran Willi or Brave They're definitely gonna be on 604 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 2: the table, but who knows, you know, maybe something else 605 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 2: happens that What if you end up having a situation 606 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 2: where maybe both those guys could end up being on 607 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 2: the table and then or one of them, you trade 608 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 2: one of them and then one of them goes down 609 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: next year. Campbell can go out there and play some 610 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 2: left field, you know. So he has that ability, and 611 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 2: I don't think the Red Sox are just gonna give 612 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 2: that away lightly. I think this is the guy they 613 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: are very high on still despite the down year, and uh, 614 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 2: I think they're gonna hang on. 615 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: To So I disagree with this take. 616 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 2: I don't think Christian Campbell is gonna be traded. I 617 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: do think he could be the odd man out in 618 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 2: the beginning, but I don't think he's gonna be the 619 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 2: odd man out forever. And also just give things time. 620 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,959 Speaker 2: So I just disagree with that take. We'll get to 621 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 2: the last couple of parts here, but we do have 622 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: one more word from our sponsor tonight. 623 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: I'll be right back, KP. 624 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 3: We both love Omaha Steaks my latest order six private 625 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 3: Reserve filet mignons it sounds bougie because it is.

Now, I disagree 646 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 2: on Franbravaldez right, had that whole situation with his catcher 647 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 2: in Houston, had the cross up situation. We had reports 648 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 2: that there were people very unhappy within the organization. I 649 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 2: have a hard time seeing Fraan Ravaldez going back to 650 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 2: Houston at this point. 651 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. 652 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 2: My guess is, if something like that happened, you've probably 653 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: had other instances where there's been some issues. I'm not sure. 654 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: That's me speculating. I would imagine and if there was 655 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 2: like just this one time thing, and yes it was bad, 656 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 2: but if people are very upset within the organization, that 657 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 2: kind of makes me wonder if maybe there's been some 658 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 2: other things that we just haven't heard about. I don't know, 659 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 2: that's just my guess. I'm speculating there. And we've also 660 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 2: heard other reports too that you know, I believe it 661 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 2: came from Bob Nightingale not too long ago, that there 662 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 2: are teams that are no longer interested in Framber after that. Right, 663 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 2: it was a very poorly handled situation. I don't know 664 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 2: what the heck happen. You've had cattures come out former 665 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 2: cattures and they've talked about that, right krats here on 666 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 2: the Foul Territory network. You know, he's talked about it himself, saying, yeah, 667 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 2: that was what the heck was Framber doing in that situation. So, 668 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 2: you know, the Red Sox, you know, with how good 669 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 2: the clubhouse was this past year, with how close guys 670 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 2: got that. That is a thing when it comes to 671 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 2: front offices, right, you're looking at performance, obviously, you're looking 672 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: at all the animal the projections, right, but you're looking 673 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 2: at chemistry. That is something that does come into play, 674 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,959 Speaker 2: right how You never know how teams are gonna mesh fully, 675 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 2: but they do look into that as one of the factors, right. 676 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. 677 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 2: I guess have a hard time seeing the Red Sox 678 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 2: going after him after something like that. 679 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:19,719 Speaker 1: I don't know. 680 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 2: I mean, Cora obviously used to be with Houston, so 681 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 2: maybe there could be something there. 682 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I don't know. My guess would be no. 683 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 2: Shane Bieber. Here's the thing with Shane Bieber the Red 684 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 2: Sox that they were very interested in him last offseason. 685 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 2: But with the Red Sox, do they want to go 686 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 2: for more ceiling at this point, I've already mentioned the 687 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 2: names Joe Ryan, Dylan Cees, Right, Shane Bieber, he'd be 688 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 2: very good to add, and yes they were interested in him, 689 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 2: and they ended up getting Walker Buehler. But at this point, 690 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 2: is Bieber the guy you want to go after. I'm 691 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,719 Speaker 2: sure he'll be on their list, but I see him 692 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 2: more as like a fallback guy. So again, if if 693 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 2: they do want to spend bigger, which I do think 694 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 2: they're going to, I think they're gonna go out there 695 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 2: and make some moves. I don't think these guys would 696 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 2: be at the top of the list personally. I think 697 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 2: you're gonna see other guys out there. That's just the 698 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 2: way I see it. But overall, when it came to 699 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 2: these predictions, again, I don't agree with the fact that 700 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 2: they're just gonna play it safe. 701 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: I think they will in some ways. 702 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna go just absolutely crazy and 703 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,760 Speaker 2: just shell off their whole farm. 704 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: And you know, I don't think you're gonna do that. 705 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 2: But I don't think they're just gonna sit around and 706 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 2: go sign Merril Kelly, you know, bring back Bregman, gi Alito. 707 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 1: You know. 708 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna keep it at just that. 709 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 2: I think you'll see a bit more than that. I 710 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 2: think you'll see a lot more than that. Now, how 711 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 2: far well, I'm not sure, but I think it's gonna 712 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 2: be a lot more than just keeping it safe. I 713 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 2: don't think Christian Campbell's gonna get traded unless it's something 714 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,399 Speaker 2: where you just you're looking at it, You're like, man, 715 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,439 Speaker 2: that's just too good to turn down, right, Like, could 716 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,879 Speaker 2: you maybe see Christian Campbell and say, like a Joe 717 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 2: Ryan kind of a trade. 718 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 1: I don't know. 719 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 2: I'm not sure what the Twins are gonna be looking for. 720 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 2: I would imagine they're gonna look for pitching back in return. 721 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 2: They could use more pitching within the organization. It comes 722 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 2: down to preference. I don't know if Campbell would be 723 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:21,479 Speaker 2: a preference there. 724 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he has more more trade 725 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: value than someone like Sandy Alcontra at this point, So 726 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that makes a whole lot of sense. 727 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just don't see a scenario where 728 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: Christian Campbell gets traded. 729 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 2: That's just the way I think. But everybody, I'm gonna 730 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 2: wrap it up. I'm gonna wrap it up right there. 731 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 2: That is all we have here today for Moster Territory. 732 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 2: Brought to you by Fox One.
