Speaker 1: Hello and welcome Awaken Jake, myself, Jake's story, Ellie, David
Speaker 1: Mendelssohn aka BBD producing his buns away. And it is
Speaker 1: trade season. It's the season of the trades, and I
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk through what we have currently where we're at.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get a live one. We had a couple
Speaker 1: during Talk and Baseball today, quick recap, get some thoughts
Speaker 1: on each one, and then a little bit of what
Speaker 1: we're hoping to see get done in the next twenty
Speaker 1: four hours. Speaking of twenty four hours, also a little
Speaker 1: Warehouse promotion. We're going live Thursday, August first and noon.
Speaker 1: We're playing a blitzball game to one hundred, so that
Speaker 1: as long as it takes to get done is what
Speaker 1: we've signed up for. Myself, Jimmy and Joe's McFly versus
Speaker 1: the we got ice boys, Jackson and Shelfy being called
Speaker 1: the longest footsball game ever. So every time I talked
Speaker 1: about this for so long, and now the realization is
Speaker 1: really sinking in our five of blitz bal might be
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a scene a couple old bodies out there,
Speaker 1: So come check that out on our Warehouse Games YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: Let's talk trades, and let's even go cron pot on it,
Speaker 1: because I think that's important a man. So this is
Speaker 1: where we move the needle here on Waking Jake. The
Speaker 1: AJ Puck trade two my Arizona Diamondbacks. Okay, let's see
Speaker 1: a little bias from the start, because you know I'm
Speaker 1: a snake sky. Let me see where we're at by
Speaker 1: the end of this episode, and especially by the end
Speaker 1: of the trade deadline, which we'll be recapping I think Wednesday,
Speaker 1: maybe late Tuesday. See if we want to get folkish
Speaker 1: in the mix, get jolly involved. No way, Maybe I
Speaker 1: think there's a chance we look back at the AJ
Speaker 1: Puck trade. Oh God, this is such baseball loser stuff,
Speaker 1: and say it's a good trade. AJ Puck started this
Speaker 1: year as a starting pitcher. This guy was an uber,
Speaker 1: like a highly rated prospect, a's six seven lefty gross
Speaker 1: arm angle. Like if there was a guy you thought
Speaker 1: would be the next kind of Chris Sale, it's kind
Speaker 1: of AJ Puck. And he has had set success success
Speaker 1: as a reliever before. So that first month April, they
Speaker 1: kind of roll him out there as a starter, bail
Speaker 1: on it, and since then and now he's with the
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks too, and he's got two clean innings there, which
Speaker 1: we like. Thirty games, thirty two point one innings pitched,
Speaker 1: thirty seven strikeouts, one one fifty opponent's batting average. I
Speaker 1: think as people are fighting over Tanner Scott and we'll
Speaker 1: see what other relievers become available. Aj Puck kind of
Speaker 1: could have went under the radar as a wipeout, nasty
Speaker 1: lefty more than a strikeout peranning one nine to five YRA.
Speaker 1: Since he's gotten kicked to the bullpen that I think
Speaker 1: we could look back at that and say that's one
Speaker 1: of the better value picks of the deadline. Let's see
Speaker 1: if I believe in that. In a couple minutes, so
Speaker 1: that happens, Ghost Snakes go. Remember how strong their bullpen
Speaker 1: was last playoffs. Things are starting to happen in Arizona.
Speaker 1: I think fifty five and fifty one, it's coming the
Speaker 1: next one. And while we're talking trade deadline, I would
Speaker 1: just like to say currently positioned pretty well. Bring you
Speaker 1: back to expectations are everything in life you go to expect.
Speaker 1: I said this before I went to see Tropic Thunder.
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be the funniest movie I've
Speaker 1: ever seen our DJ Doctor Doom. I'm hip on social
Speaker 1: media that reveals actually cool. Even if you're not a
Speaker 1: Marvel nerd God. You want to see a bunch of
Speaker 1: people excited about something, go check out the Robert Downey
Speaker 1: Junior reveal of him being Doctor Doom. Anyways, we expected
Speaker 1: this deadline to stink. All these teams were like in
Speaker 1: the mix, We're like, is anyone gonna deal? We're trying
Speaker 1: to think of these eyeball deals. We're having a deadline.
Speaker 1: We still need a couple more big fish to drop.
Speaker 1: And this was never crazy. This was never gonna be
Speaker 1: an A plus deadline. This was never gonna be Sodo
Speaker 1: or Surezer Turner Machado. But yeah, I think we wondered
Speaker 1: if we would even get to this point. So thank
Speaker 1: you Tampa Bay Rays as they traded Randy Rose Arena
Speaker 1: to your Seattle Mariners. Seattle Mariners needed some hitting. Randy
Speaker 1: apparently likes wearing those color uniforms, so that's huge for
Speaker 1: him and the Randy Rose Arena story. Similar to aj Puck,
Speaker 1: for the past couple months, he has been bawling out,
Speaker 1: let's get some numbies for you, because that's what the
Speaker 1: people like to start this year. Uh. He had a
Speaker 1: four to sixty one OPS in April, March awful, a
Speaker 1: six to ninety nine OPS in May. Unfortunately close to
Speaker 1: league average this year, although the stats are ugly, uh
Speaker 1: the last two months June two ninety one, four eight
Speaker 1: ninety three ops, July two eighty six, three seventy eight
Speaker 1: nine ten ops. I don't expect those numbers to stay.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: I expect Randy Roseoranna to be good. I think he
Speaker 1: got off to a bad start this season. I don't know, luck, injury,
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. Uh, but he turned it around
Speaker 1: on the year. He's having technically a plus season. And
Speaker 1: for the past two months he has been all star
Speaker 1: level and Seattle has needed hitting. And I've been really
Speaker 1: tough on the Mariners and Randy's come in and he's
Speaker 1: had a couple of good games for them already. So excited,
Speaker 1: excited for Mariners, excited for Randy. I hope Seattle does more.
Speaker 1: They've got a couple more trades with a little bit
Speaker 1: of funk to them. But Randy Rose Arena for the
Speaker 1: price they paid. And I'm if you're looking to talk
Speaker 1: prospect capital, I'm sorry, I'm in it with some of
Speaker 1: the big names. We were laughing on Talking Baseball today
Speaker 1: that maybe we need some more prospect ranking updates because
Speaker 1: all these prospects are like, you know, Jeff Passon's calling
Speaker 1: people out on the internet. Oh, you think he's a
Speaker 1: nobody because he's the eighth rank pitcher. Well, you don't
Speaker 1: know ball, And it's like, well, maybe I know ball,
Speaker 1: but maybe I haven't been tracking Phillies double A baseball
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 2: The go to websites do a preseason and postseason list.
Speaker 2: It feels like we could do like a monthly update
Speaker 2: just to how about.
Speaker 1: An All Star breakup date? That seems fair. Sorry to
Speaker 1: prospect nerds, sorry for putting a little more work on
Speaker 1: your table, but I think you're It's one of those
Speaker 1: it's like when your parents are teachers tell you that
Speaker 1: you're leaving more work for yourself. Yeah, like by I
Speaker 1: don't want to say half asking it. I think you
Speaker 1: guys are doing a great job. I just think we
Speaker 1: need to do the job again.
Speaker 2: Just just it's just the ordering them on the website.
Speaker 1: No what it is. It's like, it's it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: if you mow the lawn and you let the grass
Speaker 1: grow out really long, and there's a bunch of stuff
Speaker 1: on the outside that you gotta trim and take care of,
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, if you actually just did it
Speaker 1: one more time, it's the same amount of work, just
Speaker 1: spread out.
Speaker 2: Like and the Yankees instance, the trade Augustin Ramirez a
Speaker 2: big part of their trade. He was ranked twentieth. Right,
Speaker 2: he's had a big breakout year, like people like people
Speaker 2: in baseball obviously knew like he was a prospect. He's
Speaker 2: probably the most valuable realistic he traded prospect. Yeah, people
Speaker 2: immediately places like number four in the Marlin system now,
Speaker 2: and I think they fixed it reading about him. They
Speaker 2: were saying that he was going to become like a
Speaker 2: top one hundred prospect because he was a twenty two
Speaker 2: year old catcher at Triple A with twenty homers.
Speaker 1: So the scouting thing's funny. And the other thing that
Speaker 1: I always point to an example of how not perfect
Speaker 1: this whole process is, you know who became a top
Speaker 1: ten prospect after not being one? Randy Rose Arena, because
Speaker 1: he played really well in the playoffs and he instantly
Speaker 1: went from like not prospect to top ten in the game.
Speaker 1: So we're still figuring all this out. It's part of
Speaker 1: the beauty and part of the weirdness of this sport
Speaker 1: we enjoy. So yeah, Aiden Smith, Brody Hopkins, and player
Speaker 1: to be named later. I don't know, but I do
Speaker 1: know Randy Rose Arena, and I know Seattle needed it,
Speaker 1: and there is upside there. And I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: if Seattle can get to the postseason, know who the
Speaker 1: other team does not want to see at the plate,
Speaker 1: Randy Rose Arena. So let's see if they get a
Speaker 1: little more done. James passed into the Socks for a
Speaker 1: seventeen year old nice sick. This one turned some heads
Speaker 1: in the baseball world. Austin Hayes, former Gold Glover. I
Speaker 1: believe double checking and a solid righty contact bat almost
Speaker 1: ten career war take that, Trevor Ploof unnecessary, unnecessary, one
Speaker 1: time All start twenty twenty three. So another All Star traded.
Speaker 1: He gets traded from Baltimore to Philadelphia. Been rumored for
Speaker 1: outfielders for Sir Anthony Domingez. So this is what I've
Speaker 1: been daydreaming. I've told you guys on here. As this
Speaker 1: deadline was coming up and looking funky, I was trying
Speaker 1: to find team strengths with team strengths that lines up.
Speaker 1: But it's it's one of those things that it's I
Speaker 1: think it's impossible to predict. Unless it's truly like an
Speaker 1: extra starting pitcher, then a team would trade them, and hey,
Speaker 1: Seattle can still be won over. Austin Hayes goes over
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia a year and a half of Austin Hayes
Speaker 1: if they want it. He kind of gets paid for.
Speaker 1: Sir Anthony Dominguez, who you've probably seen in some pitching
Speaker 1: some big innings for the Phillies in the past years,
Speaker 1: along with Christin Pasche the outfielder that I think him
Speaker 1: and Johann Rojas became slightly redundant for the Phillies. I
Speaker 1: don't know. The other part that's fun here is like
Speaker 1: kind of got some butts on the line, right, Sir
Speaker 1: Anthony Dimingez kicks in a gear with Baltimore and becomes
Speaker 1: their seven to eighth, ninth dominant guy. I think Philly
Speaker 1: fans are gonna be like, wait, we really traded Sir Anthony,
Speaker 1: Like that guy's been wipeout for us Baltimore. I guess
Speaker 1: a little less off their back, Which that's a weird phrase.
Speaker 1: What is that is that, like, does that go back
Speaker 1: to bad times?
Speaker 2: It doesn't evoke kind imagery.
Speaker 1: Skin off my back, skin off my teeth, the idiom
Speaker 1: no skin off my back means something is not a
Speaker 1: big deal and the speaker doesn't care too much. Uh oh,
Speaker 1: it looks like there's a reddit that says the origin
Speaker 1: is pretty gruesome. So I'm not gonna click that, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no skin off my teeth.
Speaker 2: The word whip is part of the first sentence there,
Speaker 2: which I was starting to come out.
Speaker 1: Maybe we need to get better. Maybe that's that's one
Speaker 1: of those phrases that you say as a grandpa and
Speaker 1: your grandkids are like, oh my god, how did he
Speaker 1: say that? And You're like, I don't know, we all
Speaker 1: just said that. Okay, so I'm canceled. Austin Hayes goes
Speaker 1: over to the Phillies. Uh. The Orioles have outfield depth
Speaker 1: in droves. It's been a tough year for Hayes league
Speaker 1: average ops that you know, he's normally a tick up
Speaker 1: from there. But I just think it's in the world
Speaker 1: of the future of the Baltimore Orioles. I don't know
Speaker 1: how much of a future. Rousin Hayes has been there,
Speaker 1: and they potentially get a high leverage reliever for themselves.
Speaker 1: So I think people tend to like this more for Baltimore, however,
Speaker 1: and we don't know the outfield trade market, and I
Speaker 1: will break our cron pod, which you know I hate
Speaker 1: to do. This company is built on cron pods. The
Speaker 1: Phillies got and they trade for Carlos Estevez, who Trev
Speaker 1: said maybe the most impactful trade of this deadline so far,
Speaker 1: like a contender getting a player that will affect it,
Speaker 1: which okay, kind of rude jazz Chisholm. We'll get to that.
Speaker 1: They trade for Carlos Estevez, who I think there's a
Speaker 1: chance he is looked at as the the number one
Speaker 1: reliever that comes out of this. His whip is zero
Speaker 1: point seventy three five right now. He's got a two
Speaker 1: three eight ERA this year, twenty saves. He's been closing
Speaker 1: the last two years. Came up as a Rockies guy
Speaker 1: from sixteen to twenty two. How many o the Rockies
Speaker 1: pitchers do you know that like survive. He's gone over
Speaker 1: to the Halos and he's been a productive player for them,
Speaker 1: And man, I think it's funny the Phillies have crazy
Speaker 1: bullpen depth, but in a way, the ninth inning is
Speaker 1: open for whoever wants it. Jeff Hoffmin's been incredible, but
Speaker 1: he kind of came from nowhere. Alvarado's had his ups
Speaker 1: and downs, so Philly and these were the prospects that
Speaker 1: Jeff Passon was yelling about. So maybe they gave something
Speaker 1: up here, but it seems like they upgraded their bullpen piece.
Speaker 1: They brought in the outfielder they're hoping for, and we'll see.
Speaker 1: I know trev was daydreaming of a marsh Hayes platoon,
Speaker 1: and they could still bring in another outfielder. We'll see.
Speaker 1: It's the Phillies, it's the land of Riches. So I
Speaker 1: think they could be done and be okay. I think
Speaker 1: they could also get in the mix. The team of
Speaker 1: the trade deadline so far your Tampa Bay Rays, and
Speaker 1: they unloaded Zach Efflin zephln here to the Baltimore Ool
Speaker 1: so in Division trading and some good notes here on
Speaker 1: the ESPN which has a nice little updated trade deadline
Speaker 1: season going. Baltimore had three starting pitchers undergo elbow surgery
Speaker 1: in June. Bradish means in Wells, so they are looking
Speaker 1: for some innings and potentially more. They have Burns and
Speaker 1: Gray Rod Dean Kramer. The thing that was surprising, and
Speaker 1: I guess put this as a little notch in your
Speaker 1: future Baltimore belts. Who's got future Baltimore belts. Zach Eflin
Speaker 1: is making eighteen mill next year, So Baltimore signed up
Speaker 1: for that, which, whether you're talking about future signings or
Speaker 1: re signings or whatever, it may be, Baltimore willing to
Speaker 1: pay that for zach Eflin, who has been the model
Speaker 1: of consistency. The Baseball Reference was pretty shocking how consistent
Speaker 1: it's been. That for the Oriols, it's a little bit
Speaker 1: of you know, in baseball, we say you never know
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get, like a box of chocolates. Some
Speaker 1: might say you kind of know what you're getting with
Speaker 1: zach Eflin at this point, and hey, maybe he does
Speaker 1: tick up in Baltimore. That massive left field always speaks
Speaker 1: to me. But you're getting productive and slightly plus innings
Speaker 1: from him. So they didn't have to give up any
Speaker 1: of their top prospects, and for the raise, it's kind
Speaker 1: of a win win. They get to bring in a
Speaker 1: handful of prospects. They got a ton of pitchers on
Speaker 1: their way back, and they're not on the book for
Speaker 1: Zach Eflin for next year, which they backloaded that contract.
Speaker 1: Those tricky, tricky Rays very clever. We'll get back to
Speaker 1: them in a second because we have to talk Seattle Mariners.
Speaker 1: Where I'm going to Uh, I'm gonna double down on
Speaker 1: the trade because I think they made Mariners fans go
Speaker 1: eh because they trade away Ryan Stannik two the New
Speaker 1: York Metropolitans. Okay Stannik. The the numbers aren't too flashy
Speaker 1: this year four nine to five Era got hit in
Speaker 1: his first appearance with the Mets. Tough was four to
Speaker 1: three eight the other day. More strikeouts than innings pitched.
Speaker 1: He's made a career as a major league reliever of
Speaker 1: three to six Era. He had one dominant season in Houston. Also,
Speaker 1: Yankee fans probably remember he was he was an opener
Speaker 1: guy in eighteen and nineteen. He started fifty six games
Speaker 1: as the opener.
Speaker 2: So that's weird.
Speaker 1: That's just weird. That's gonna be a bad jolly olive video. Unsubscribed.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of hostility in the office right now.
Speaker 1: Mets are good. It's the trade eche ligne. Trev's here today.
Speaker 1: You get a proven MLB bullpen arm, which I get
Speaker 1: that there's volatility to that position. Ryan Stanek got rocked
Speaker 1: in his first appearance. He could get rocked in his
Speaker 1: next five and the Mets might have to dfaan. He
Speaker 1: could also go on from this point to have a
Speaker 1: ten appearance scoreless streak. Life of a reliever, but he's
Speaker 1: an MLB guy. Mets needed arms. They just had a
Speaker 1: couple guys go down, they get it done, and I mean,
Speaker 1: that's you're not paying a premium price. Tagners and I
Speaker 1: had had to head tilt myself because if you're gonna
Speaker 1: add Jimmy Garcia, you might as well keep Ryan Staniic. No,
Speaker 1: although Seattle'll be the first to tell you we're a
Speaker 1: bullpen factory. Nice they give up Jonathan class a eighty
Speaker 1: grade speed for Reemy Garcia. He's good. There's times where
Speaker 1: he set up for Toronto. I feel like there's times
Speaker 1: I was excited to see him in a game as
Speaker 1: a reliever. I feel like there's times I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to see him in the game as
Speaker 1: a reliever. I was gonna be tough on Seattle because
Speaker 1: it's like, are we really doing the trade away reliever
Speaker 1: things again? But I just mentioned it. With Philly, they
Speaker 1: went from Sir Anthony to Carlos Estevez, which, like I said,
Speaker 1: with relievers, Sir Anthony could outpitch Estevez, Like it's just
Speaker 1: how it works sometimes. But I like the move for
Speaker 1: Philly that I'm gonna I'm gonna lean. I like the
Speaker 1: move for Seattle. I think Garcia is a better relief
Speaker 1: pitcher and he's already had two clean sheets for them,
Speaker 1: so welcome home people. Are people do have that one
Speaker 1: noted as the prospect could come back to hurt them.
Speaker 1: They say, like I said, eighty speed. If you know
Speaker 1: the MLB scouting world, that's as high as it gets,
Speaker 1: and they don't give those grades to people that if
Speaker 1: he can figure out any other aspect of the game,
Speaker 1: could be a useful guy and catcher. Jacob sharp I
Speaker 1: mentioned Stannic for Ryland Thomas. Here's a big one. The
Speaker 1: New York Yankees have traded for Jazz Chisholm. H you
Speaker 1: heard us mention this before. Augustine Ramirez headlines it with
Speaker 1: short King Jared Serna and my guy honest A Ramirez.
Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm to the Yankees, a guy that has probably
Speaker 1: sometimes drawn f ire from fans. Fair ire. I don't
Speaker 1: even know if iron works like that. What's the definition
Speaker 1: of ire.
Speaker 2: And I or would be just like anger anger?
Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, that kind of makes sense to draw
Speaker 1: ire from people. Some people probably dislike jazz for the
Speaker 1: wrong reason. Some people probably dislike jazz for okay reasons.
Speaker 1: Some people love jazz that I think where jazz Chisholm landed.
Speaker 1: Uh he had to quote this year calling out Mickey Rowe,
Speaker 1: who's one of the most beloved guys in the game. Uh,
Speaker 1: what it is on paper is a guy not making
Speaker 1: a ton of money that's under team controls the er
Speaker 1: two and a half years.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, two years after this.
Speaker 1: Year, twenty six years old, has power and speed. He's
Speaker 1: had some injuries in his past two that should be noted.
Speaker 2: If we're if we're getting into the ARB situations because
Speaker 2: of what he's done so far, Like, he's not making
Speaker 2: a crazy number, right, he doesn't project to be a
Speaker 2: guy who like is breaking any ARB records.
Speaker 1: You know, twenty two All Star that was a limited year.
Speaker 1: He only played sixty games. He's been around a league
Speaker 1: average hitter for his career. When you factor that in
Speaker 1: with his speed, in versatility can be a very plus
Speaker 1: ballplayer to a ball club interested to see how the
Speaker 1: Yankees handle that they needed athleticism, they could use the
Speaker 1: versatility slash major league bat that Jazz might be walking
Speaker 1: into a real nice situation where he also doesn't feel
Speaker 1: like he has to carry the Marlins offense because the
Speaker 1: Yankees have two guys carrying it at a historic level.
Speaker 1: Never mind if other guys start to contribute thirteen steals
Speaker 1: or excuse me, thirteen homers twenty three steals now on
Speaker 1: the year for the Yankees, it's going to be interesting
Speaker 1: to see the next pieces. This bodes well, Like people
Speaker 1: were throwing out trade ideas or you know, we were
Speaker 1: talking about him on the train and Jimmy was running
Speaker 1: through things that the Yankees have money coming off the
Speaker 1: books this year. But if you're signing Juan Soto's currently
Speaker 1: making thirty one million dollars and let's say you signed
Speaker 1: one soda to forty million a year, you know, with
Speaker 1: the number that could be coming off between a glabor
Speaker 1: potentially Rizzo and there's one or two other guys in
Speaker 1: there like you have other positions that need to be
Speaker 1: filled that every dollar goes away from filling another position.
Speaker 1: And go look at how much free agents go per year.
Speaker 1: That Jazz Chisholm, who's making two and a half mil
Speaker 1: this year, I think he's projected for four next year.
Speaker 1: So weather jazz Chisms. Weather jazz Chism's next year, second basement.
Speaker 1: Maybe something clicks at third, Maybe it's the outfield, maybe
Speaker 1: it's a super utility. Tell me how many guys as
Speaker 1: talented as jazz Chism go for that four million dollar mark.
Speaker 1: It's not so this was I think Yankees fans got
Speaker 1: a little excited that if you're in the weeds on this,
Speaker 1: this is a plus move for re signing Juan Soto.
Speaker 1: I think this is a plus move for this season.
Speaker 1: I think this is the right environment for this guy.
Speaker 1: We will see could be singing a very different tone
Speaker 1: in a little bit. And it's crazy that it'll be
Speaker 1: dictated mostly from the results of sixty games, which we've
Speaker 1: seen players be amazing for sixty games. We've seen players
Speaker 1: be bad for sixty games. Go check out Randy rose
Speaker 1: Arenas for sixty games this year, really bad. But it
Speaker 1: sets up the Yankees for flexibility on their next move.
Speaker 1: It sets up the Yankees for flexibility and their upcoming
Speaker 1: off seasons. And hey, he's a guy that does have
Speaker 1: potential to tap into a little more. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that sounds like Yankees BS to you, but whether
Speaker 1: just ballpark factor, whether it's having other guys in your lineup,
Speaker 1: whether you believe in like off the field leadership and
Speaker 1: that the Yankees have a captain and they've got you know,
Speaker 1: if you don't respect Judge and Sodo, you're in the
Speaker 1: wrong sport.
Speaker 2: And Jazz is comes to entering mid mid to late
Speaker 2: twenties and being healthier, right.
Speaker 1: He, like Jazz has said all the right things so far.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe this is the opportunity both sides are
Speaker 1: looking for. Maybe Jazz is a superstar in his own
Speaker 1: right full on baseball wise, maybe not. But you know,
Speaker 1: like Nestor won over the crowd in New York big time.
Speaker 1: And although he's a name kind of on the block
Speaker 1: right now, let's see where Jazz lands with its team.
Speaker 1: Yankee fans are excited. They do want more always, that's
Speaker 1: what being a Yankee fan is about. August and Ramirez
Speaker 1: go be great for the Marlin same with you, Jared Serna,
Speaker 1: I'm okay, would have oka.
Speaker 2: Needed to be added to the four party man after
Speaker 2: this season anyway, So that's also some math. We didn't
Speaker 2: get to mention in the immediate.
Speaker 1: Reaction and waken Jake. People already knew Jared Serna because
Speaker 1: foolish Bailey threw him in a fake Tanner Scott trade.
Speaker 2: Marlin's you just got him last week from us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so funny how the world spins sometimes, Danny said,
Speaker 1: passing Yes.
Speaker 2: The Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates are finalizing a
Speaker 2: deal that will send Quinn Priester to Boston, okay for
Speaker 2: infield prospect Nick York. Interesting that a twenty first round pick.
Speaker 1: That's prospect for prospect. Quinn Priester's debuted, but I think
Speaker 1: he's a former first round pitcher, so that's uh, that's
Speaker 1: an interesting one. Aren't the people running Pitts.
Speaker 2: He was twenty Pirates twenty nineteen first round pick.
Speaker 1: The people running Pittsburgh used to be Boston, right, isn't
Speaker 1: it like Cherrington, Like didn't he go to time?
Speaker 2: I forget when exactly everybody took over whatever, But I
Speaker 2: mean they have good relationships.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I'm not fully trying to depict overlap,
Speaker 1: especially on this trade with recent ballplayers, but that's an
Speaker 1: interesting one young hitter for a young pitcher. Last time
Speaker 1: we saw a trade like that, what is it? Zach
Speaker 1: Gallon for Jazz Chisholm. We've seen a couple more, but
Speaker 1: you don't see a lot of teams put themselves out
Speaker 1: there like that. A Rosearina for Massy Liberatory comment below.
Speaker 1: What other trades you like? Danny Jansen's a red sock
Speaker 1: great crushes the Yankees, So I don't like that. We
Speaker 1: did ask the as Jesse Winker to the Mets. I
Speaker 1: love it. I gave Jesse Winker my award today half
Speaker 1: because we forgot to talk about the trade. Jesse Winker
Speaker 1: has been bashing this year. Jesse Winker has sneaky bashed
Speaker 1: his whole career except the past year and a half,
Speaker 1: which that's how baseball works. But not this year, not
Speaker 1: this season. One ops plus Mets. It's gonna be interesting
Speaker 1: to see how they handle the rest of the deadline.
Speaker 1: If they stay with this, it means Bader probably goes
Speaker 1: to the bench slash platoon vers lefties in defensive sub
Speaker 1: while Jesse Winker. Man, these Mets are already banging that.
Speaker 1: If they add another twig to the lineup, they're a
Speaker 1: scary team to play, especially right now. And they gave
Speaker 1: up Tyler Stewart, so I don't know what you do
Speaker 1: with that. He's six foot nine, he was a reliever
Speaker 1: in college that's now starting, So there's that. I think
Speaker 1: there's gonna be teams that are very jealous they didn't
Speaker 1: trade for Jesse Winker. I'm not even saying he's gonna
Speaker 1: have a big second half because right now he might
Speaker 1: be fighting for playing time on the Mets. There was
Speaker 1: a rumor the Mets might still flip Chady Martinez and
Speaker 1: Winker comes their DH interesting twenty four hours coming from
Speaker 1: Metropolitans fans okay, our race get back in the timeline
Speaker 1: as they trade reliever Jason Adam for three prospects from
Speaker 1: Tampa or excuse me, from San Diego. And I think
Speaker 1: two of them are kind of prospected prospects, including a
Speaker 1: first round pick arm which I read Preller has traded
Speaker 1: eight of his last ten first round picks. So I
Speaker 1: don't know a little bit of Seattle Seahawks old approach.
Speaker 1: Let's let's bring in guys we know who are gonna
Speaker 1: be good. And one of those guys also Meryl Merril
Speaker 1: Jackson Jackson, Merril Jackson, Merrill, I was getting weird in
Speaker 1: my head. Jason Adams Gross may not like the cat,
Speaker 1: but he he is a three pitch reliever. It's tough
Speaker 1: to guess along with him when he's pitching because he
Speaker 1: has the three wipeout pitches. He could give you multi
Speaker 1: inning if you needed it. Pairing him with Suarez on
Speaker 1: the back end can be a nice little, nice little
Speaker 1: duo for San Diego. And I want to be surprised
Speaker 1: if they tried to add some more bullpen for ideally
Speaker 1: cheaper than Adam. But yeah, this this was a big
Speaker 1: haul for reliever. And now they get Adam I believe
Speaker 1: for a year and.
Speaker 2: A half, might might even be longer.
Speaker 1: And he's, uh, yeah, it might be two and a half.
Speaker 1: So that's that's where the price tag kicks in. Uh
Speaker 1: and man, what uh I mean? Raise funny business?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: And Adam credits them. He was granted his release by Chicago.
Speaker 1: He hadn't done much before that. Oh, I guess he
Speaker 1: had a nice twenty nineteen with Toronto twenty three games. Sure,
Speaker 1: but yeah, he's been wiped out the past couple of years.
Speaker 1: Eat him again. He's he adapted raised bullpen lifestyle of
Speaker 1: kind of wherever whenever we're meant to be together, I'll
Speaker 1: be there and you'll be near. Shakira.
Speaker 2: Kenenthal has tweeted a three team trade in which the
Speaker 2: Cardinals would acquire Eric Fetti, the Dodgers would acquire Tommy Edmund,
Speaker 2: and White Sox would acquire prospects. Is close.
Speaker 1: I have to think if Kenny's putting that out there
Speaker 1: that it's close. That's my announce sounds like he's reporting
Speaker 1: guys going to multiple teams. So Fetti to the Cardinals
Speaker 1: and that's obvious.
Speaker 2: Okay, Fetti to Cardinals, Edmund, Tommy Edmund.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Dodgers will make use of that. Yeah, I can
Speaker 1: play a little shortstop too, if I remember correctly. That's
Speaker 1: what they need, shortstop, centerfield, middle endfield. Okay, Fetty to
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, Yeah, everywhere, that's obvious. Okay, let's see some
Speaker 1: of the prospects involved. Good for the Padres. I think
Speaker 1: this is the number one trade people have circled as
Speaker 1: this one could hurt in a couple of years as
Speaker 1: relievers tend to run out and like Dylan Lescoe, I
Speaker 1: think was a first round pitcher last year. Homer Bush junior.
Speaker 1: You might know that game name from Homer Bush, which
Speaker 1: then led us to probably the most significant trade IMO
Speaker 1: so far, Estoc Parades, twenty five year old all star
Speaker 1: third baseman for your Tampa Bay Rays gets traded to
Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs for chrispher Morell on two pitching prospects.
Speaker 1: Interested to see the Rays devil magic here, love me
Speaker 1: some Chris Morrell. I think before the season, if you
Speaker 1: said Chris Morrell or Esock Parades, I think people would
Speaker 1: have leaned Parretes. And that's why people like this trade.
Speaker 1: For the Cubs, Pretas is locked in as plays a
Speaker 1: good enough MLB third baseman, mashes the guy you don't
Speaker 1: want to see at the dish Man. Speaking from experience
Speaker 1: as a Yankee fan, chrispher Morel feels kind of streaky
Speaker 1: as a hitter. He's been having a tough year this year.
Speaker 1: Doesn't have a position locked in yet. He's one of
Speaker 1: those versatile but almost in a bad way. Currently.
Speaker 2: He's like athletic, you feel good trying him anywhere, but
Speaker 2: he hasn't looked great at any specific position.
Speaker 1: You like to think something's gonna click. I don't know.
Speaker 1: They're also is money and years factor here. There's another
Speaker 1: year in Morell while parades is starting to get kind
Speaker 1: of paid for them. While the Rays get their hand
Speaker 1: on two more prospects, two more pitching prospects that we
Speaker 1: kind of know how that organization handles them. Cubbies, Let's
Speaker 1: see if they can find some juice this year. You
Speaker 1: change something up and you bring in more of a
Speaker 1: bona fide player. I don't know. I've kind of been
Speaker 1: out on the Cubbies this year in their front office.
Speaker 1: This isn't a move just for this year. And we'll
Speaker 1: see if the Cubs sell off any parts because they
Speaker 1: get parades for a little bit. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've got a little front office just gut here. I
Speaker 1: really like Chris morel. It's people are saying he has
Speaker 1: more natural pop than parties. That if the Rays can
Speaker 1: tap into whatever that is, which we've seen them do
Speaker 1: with a couple of ballplayers. Hell, we saw them do
Speaker 1: with Esach parties to get him trade value, a lot
Speaker 1: of trade value, and that parade's good.
Speaker 2: Good for him and the Rays. They figured out a
Speaker 2: way to maximize his skill set time. Everything about his
Speaker 2: scouting report has like you need to do kind of
Speaker 2: these specific things to be really good, and he's done
Speaker 2: that very well basically his whole time in Tampa.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tigers gave up on him and they turn him
Speaker 1: into this so Hey Swanson, Horner and parties. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of talent in that infield. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: talent around that Cubs team. Maybe the light bulb goes
Speaker 1: off soon and it all looks very pretty.
Speaker 2: And you know, he's like Parade's original organization. Let's see
Speaker 2: Marlins Cubs. They might have they liked, not wanted to
Speaker 2: give him up in the first place. Jack Flaherty was
Speaker 2: scratched from his start. Okay like that, and they have
Speaker 2: said in protection for a trade. Yeah, got they're not,
Speaker 2: they're not. He's not hurt.
Speaker 1: We're here. Uh And speaking of we're here, Michael Lorenzen
Speaker 1: got traded live to the Royals today. Instant reviews on that.
Speaker 1: Our Royals are just getting insurance for what's been a
Speaker 1: strong starting pitching. Their bullpen had a couple injuries over
Speaker 1: the weekend and I don't know it was an interesting note.
Speaker 1: I think for my guy Bradford Doolittle, that Kansas City
Speaker 1: has gotten the least amount of contributions from its rookies
Speaker 1: this year. Are my negative war from all their rookies
Speaker 1: this year, Which that's where your depth comes from in baseball.
Speaker 1: So Michael Lorenzen gives them depth, bullpen when they need it,
Speaker 1: starter if they need it. Texas gets to save a
Speaker 1: little money. We'll see what else they do, because it
Speaker 1: seems like they have more pitch on the way. Nobody's
Speaker 1: really sure. They were kind of one of the wild
Speaker 1: cards of the deadline, and we just broke the the
Speaker 1: other live trades to you, so uh, I think I
Speaker 1: I want to circle up on the next twenty four
Speaker 1: hours or so and what we're gonna see. We'll be
Speaker 1: live on our Talking Baseball Channel h recapping where we've
Speaker 1: gotten to and what's coming next. Uh down the line.
Speaker 1: Baltimore as big of a threat as anyone. Boston, I
Speaker 1: don't know, just swap prospects. Let's see what else they
Speaker 1: got up there. Sleep They brought in Danny Jansen in Paxton,
Speaker 1: which Hey, that was my ask, was Boston, show you're involved,
Speaker 1: they're involved there.
Speaker 2: They seem to be trying to make smart moves.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be surprised if something else happens. White Sox keep
Speaker 1: emptying the chamber, although after Fetti, like we talked about,
Speaker 1: there's you know, there's some smaller parts or Luis Robert
Speaker 1: that I would love to see that trade happen, or
Speaker 1: one of the other White Sox. That's I don't want
Speaker 1: to say fallen from glory, but like i'd love to
Speaker 1: see Eloy in a New Jersey. How do I make
Speaker 1: that happen?
Speaker 2: Just get him somewhere else.
Speaker 1: I know the money feels different. Tommy Fams currently on
Speaker 1: those white socks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna go.
Speaker 1: Does someone think Andrew Vaughn can tap into something Michael
Speaker 1: Kopek in the back end of their up bullpens, so
Speaker 1: they should be doing more Cleveland, nobody knows. Cleveland fans
Speaker 1: got mad at me for saying that front office I
Speaker 1: can't believe in them making them doing a deal. They
Speaker 1: reference trades from like twenty eighteen. Sorry, I think they
Speaker 1: like what they got and they don't like to spend money,
Speaker 1: which is a tough trade convo. Tigers. You just heard
Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty. That's the big one. They also have bullpen pieces.
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if one of those either gets attached
Speaker 1: or just traded, because bullpen pieces are getting returns.
Speaker 2: Any any team might have reliever come and go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're seeing some of the contenders do it. Houston.
Speaker 1: I'm super interested to see. Man they are they are
Speaker 1: always just snake in the grassing. Man are they gonna
Speaker 1: add pitching? They could, They can add, and they cannot,
Speaker 1: and they're fine either way. They're sick org And if
Speaker 1: you're looking for something to watch tonight, Paul Skins versus
Speaker 1: your Houston Astros, Uh, they've got it. They should add
Speaker 1: some pitching. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happens
Speaker 1: for Houston. Kansas City's you've been in the mix. They
Speaker 1: were supposedly in the Jazz Chisholm mix, so it is Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Those teams are both looking to add cost effective hitting.
Speaker 1: That's what I said about jazz chism. I think some
Speaker 1: one of those teams is gonna give in for Brent Rooker.
Speaker 1: I really think they should. Brent Riker's got a lot
Speaker 1: of positive numbers there that I think I think they
Speaker 1: could angels hard. They got pieces Polar will run, heathho
Speaker 1: and Ward go Tyler Anderson. Yeah, there's a lot more
Speaker 1: deadline coming. I'm pretty hype. I didn't think this deadline
Speaker 1: was gonna give us anything. Twins nervous should be adding
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of complications. Yankees still looking for
Speaker 1: impact ads. Minimum we're looking for still at this point
Speaker 1: is pitching. There's some hitting options that can figure themselves out.
Speaker 1: Scary would ideally like another infielder and some pitching. Oakland
Speaker 1: not as crazy hard cell as you think, like Andrew Horror,
Speaker 1: maybe Brent Rooker. I'd love if they would, but they're
Speaker 1: asking for a big price. There's a couple bullpen arms,
Speaker 1: but I.
Speaker 2: Don't know the time of year, you never know what's
Speaker 2: being said. It's just like a leverage play.
Speaker 1: Right, So, I mean they don't have to move Rooker.
Speaker 1: They don't and Rooker. I could see where teams are
Speaker 1: probably trying to lowball on Rooker. I threw some shade
Speaker 1: that way. Doesn't have a great defensive position. You could
Speaker 1: say it feels flukey, even though it's like not like
Speaker 1: it's been there for a year and a half now,
Speaker 1: and this was a former big time prospect. Let's see
Speaker 1: what goes on there. Seattle, get me more hitting, Tampa,
Speaker 1: keep mixing it up, Texas complete wildcard, probably gonna stand
Speaker 1: mostly pat Yeah, sold Lorenzen. They don't have a lot
Speaker 1: of open just spots.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll like it. Obviously, they've already done some traits.
Speaker 2: It's but it's just a kind of shuffling of the deck.
Speaker 1: A little bit. Arizona could be good. Let's see. They
Speaker 1: added they've been playing better baseball. They could be in
Speaker 1: the mix. Braves. Everyone kind of thinks they're gonna do
Speaker 1: a nuclear move, or they thought they were gonna do
Speaker 1: a nuclear move as it gets closer to the deadline,
Speaker 1: I don't know. The Braves keep things close to the chest. Uh.
Speaker 1: I would I would expect them. Okay, Atlanta's got to
Speaker 1: do something right like the Mets caught them at one point.
Speaker 1: I would expect the Braves to either do and I
Speaker 1: referenced this before anyone in any line of business business
Speaker 1: references what they did before Braves traded for a hodgepodge
Speaker 1: of players. They ended up being the best offense in baseball.
Speaker 1: They ended up winning the World Series. Could they do
Speaker 1: a polar couple? Other guy grab bag and try to
Speaker 1: figure some things out. Sure, could they do the big move?
Speaker 1: Could they do a crochet or something like that? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: they're the Braves. Uh So I didn't realize this to now,
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm doing this exercise. But I would
Speaker 1: expect the Braves to do significant something or some things
Speaker 1: in the next twenty five hours. If they don't, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think if you want losers and winners, people would
Speaker 1: really be head till at Atlanta. Coubbies, I don't know
Speaker 1: that me and that franchise are struggling right now that
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's jameson Tyonne selling rumors. Can you
Speaker 1: still do that? I don't know. Cubbies fans, if you're
Speaker 1: tuning in, I guess what do you do? You want
Speaker 1: to see them hard by at this point? I mean
Speaker 1: Prede is for morel That's that's buying. They got Nate Pearson.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just tough for me. Fangrafts has
Speaker 1: them as a seven point seven percent shot to make
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and I don't know. Something about that organ
Speaker 1: has just felt a little off to me. Let's see
Speaker 1: what else they do, Reds. I think our stan pat
Speaker 1: slash soft sell don't have a ton of pieces. India
Speaker 1: would be fun. I guess that's been rumored now for
Speaker 1: a year, though, you know, make it happen.
Speaker 2: The gel v Argus is going to the White Sox
Speaker 2: is part of that trade.
Speaker 1: Good for them man, good for him, good for him,
Speaker 1: good for them. Get some run, be good quick hands
Speaker 1: like that. Uh So the Dodgers got Edmund. Huh they
Speaker 1: get Edmund? Yeah, I guess you could slot him. I
Speaker 1: wonder you can slot him anywhere. That's the beauty of
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Right Edvan can play in field, outfield.
Speaker 2: Or they want to do whenever Mookie's back, whenever ever
Speaker 2: WOOKI wants to play when he is back. I hate
Speaker 2: to be rude.
Speaker 1: I liked watching Mookie play right field.
Speaker 2: Is that ever special field?
Speaker 1: If that ever happened again, I'd be open to it.
Speaker 1: But he was also fine up the middle, So whatever. Uh,
Speaker 1: Marlin's still a couple relievers, maybe a big picture to sell.
Speaker 1: I feel like we've talked about that for years now.
Speaker 1: If there's ever a time like they're selling selling.
Speaker 2: Seems like the White Socks are gonna walk away from
Speaker 2: that with a couple more prospects in that trade. As well,
Speaker 2: But I think Vargas is the only name we know. Okay,
Speaker 2: it is the only name we're liking right familiar with.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen any other names period.
Speaker 1: But Milwaukee'll do something kind of weird and we'll shrug.
Speaker 1: They traded for Nick Meher's reliever from the Rockies, so
Speaker 1: expect him to go nuts the next couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: next couple years. Probably Milwaukee's got the good sauce, Mets,
Speaker 1: interesting soft ads. So far, is there gonna be any Flippies?
Speaker 2: Dodgers get Michael Kopek a update.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be good for them. Back to you, guys
Speaker 1: in the booth.
Speaker 2: White Sox joined the party.
Speaker 1: Today, Arm Talent Times, Dodgers Times, leaving organization not known
Speaker 1: for success.
Speaker 2: Unclear, unclear to me if that's a separate move or
Speaker 2: part of all, part of the reay.
Speaker 1: Edmund and Kopek. Okay, Okay, Dodgers, I smell you. I
Speaker 1: would have been interested if those two players went to
Speaker 1: the Yanks. So good on you. Then good for the
Speaker 1: White Sox forgetting a name people know. Matts jazz us up.
Speaker 1: Do something fun, Phillies, You're always in the mix. Go
Speaker 1: get Luis Robert. Otherwise, I think they could be done
Speaker 1: and be fine.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: I could see them getting another starter, Tyler Phillips feeling
Speaker 1: in great for them. Kobe Allard currently in the rotation,
Speaker 1: can't have enough arms. Come October, Pittsburgh gets some hitting man,
Speaker 1: get a bat. What is we doing? Jesse Winker was
Speaker 1: there for cheap, cheap, cheap.
Speaker 2: You can get Josh bellf for back for just want
Speaker 2: to pay his money.
Speaker 1: San Diego, Pop Andres are supposedly inn on Snell, so
Speaker 1: they're in on anything. I guess they're looking for pitching.
Speaker 1: Their lineup is sneaky, like they've been doing it, sneaky,
Speaker 1: just locked in. Like right now, Tatus is on the
Speaker 1: I L So if you wanted a new catcher for
Speaker 1: Campusano and Higgee, sure, although Higgey has been killing it
Speaker 1: this year and Campusano's you know, was a real prospect
Speaker 1: and there's no catchers available. So arrives Profar Croninworth, Machado,
Speaker 1: Bogart's Merrill uh Tatis when he's back, Hassan Kim like
Speaker 1: they're they're good. Maybe if there was ever a kronin
Speaker 1: Worth flip for a more first baseman first baseman, but
Speaker 1: that's my guy, and we're not doing that.
Speaker 2: David Hensley to the Marlins off waivers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, I'm gonna skip one team because I want
Speaker 1: to come back to them. Saint Louis. So, what did
Speaker 1: Saint Louis sell or? No, they got fetti, They got Fedi.
Speaker 1: They're in a year and a half of fetti. Cardinals
Speaker 1: are in. They love themselves. A veteran pitcher, A veteran.
Speaker 2: What does he fit into that rotation?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he will like it there, good ad by them.
Speaker 1: I like that Nationals. Let's keep selling h you moved
Speaker 1: Winker a couple bullpen pieces. People have their eyes on
Speaker 1: their lane. Thomas feels like the time would be now.
Speaker 1: Let's let's see what that looks like. The team I
Speaker 1: skipped the San Francisco Giants. Let's see snell is back,
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray is back. They both had nasty outings. Kyle
Speaker 1: Harrison just had a nasty outing. Logan Webb one of
Speaker 1: the best most consistent pitchers in baseball. It feels like
Speaker 1: it's coming together. They're fifty three and fifty five. It
Speaker 1: says they have a twenty percent chance to make the postseason.
Speaker 1: I like the Snakes, like the Padres, the Giants, Tyler
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald going nuts for them. So Lair's been playing better.
Speaker 1: Chapye been good man. I think they're gonna hold on
Speaker 1: and hope. I don't know if it's the right move.
Speaker 1: Maybe they do some retooling. They've kind of have pitching depth.
Speaker 1: Now that we talked about this before the season, that
Speaker 1: there was gonna be a day when Robbie Ray came back,
Speaker 1: that things were gonna feel different. I wonder if they
Speaker 1: put themselves in the mix, they'd be a sneaky, great
Speaker 1: Vlattie team. If I was doing clickbait, you know, could
Speaker 1: they give up a real prospect package to go get
Speaker 1: Vladdie and kind of get the star they've been looking for.
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's some deep end. I've got my
Speaker 1: eyes big time on the San Francisco Giants to see
Speaker 1: what they do in the next twenty four hours, although
Speaker 1: my guess is not much. Atlanta's got to do some shopping.
Speaker 1: I'm excited for that. I've fallen into that. The Dodgers
Speaker 1: just made their move fantastic. I'm obviously watching my Yankees.
Speaker 1: We'll see if Houston gives us something and will one
Speaker 1: of the teams really cash in on chips like a
Speaker 1: Seattle starting pitcher. Baltimore's real prospects. Until then, I might
Speaker 1: see on talking baseball. We'll see it here on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: maybe with a jolly or a fool. Otherwise, tell them
Speaker 1: about Dan.
