1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, Welcome to another episode of Monster Territory, brought

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: to you by the Foul Territory Network. Listen, everybody, everybody.

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: We were so happy for a few days there. Man.

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: I literally tweeted, well like a few days ago, the

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: day after the Alex Bregman signing, saying, you know, I've

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: been a Red Sox fan for so long now, over

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: twenty five years, and I've seen a lot of happy times.

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: But the way Red Sox fans were on social media

9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: after the Alex Bregman signing, you know, a day after,

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: a couple of days after it was some of the

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: happiest times I've seen, mainly because you know, the last

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: few years have just been, you know, so down, and

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: obviously we're on such a high with Bregman, you know,

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: happy times. We're all over the place and I'm thinking, man,

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: it can't get any better than this. And then we

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: had today, and there's a lot to bite into here

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: today with Raffael Devers and uh Raffi saying no to

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: moving off third base. I'm gonna give you my thoughts

19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: on that. We're gonna break it down. There's a lot

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: to bite into with that one. We're gonna go over

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: the Alex Bregman press conference, give you my thoughts on that.

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: We haven't done an episode since the Alex Bregman signing.

23
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: It has been a few days now, so I'm gonna

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: give you my thoughts. The biggest takeaways I thought personally

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: from that press conference. You have a lot of people

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: speaking there, and hey, Dylan Cease is in the news

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: as well. Is the Red Sox offseason even over at

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: this point Sam Kennedy, he touched on a couple of

29
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: things in the last couple of days here. We'll talk

30
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: about that as well. But a lot to talk about

37
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: shall we. Let's dive into it. So, man, there's a

38
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: lot to bite into with this Raffi thing. But but

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: you know, before we get into that, though, let's kind

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: of work our way back. Let's talk a little Alex Bregman. Uh,

41
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: let's kind of go over the biggest takeaways from that now,

42
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman. I mean, first off, I just got to

43
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: say that the man is looking uh, he's looking quite

44
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: handsome in the Red Sox jersey. I must say. I mean,

45
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: my goodness, he's looking looking quite good. I gotta say here.

46
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing with Alex Bregman that he talked

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: about in this press conference was winning. Also, shout out

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: to the guys over at mass Live, Sean McCadam, Chris

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: Catillo and the other guys there, that you're doing a

50
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: great job. They covered so much. If you need you

51
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: know anything when it comes to quotes or whatever about

52
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: from this press conference, they were all over it, so

53
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: go check it out here. But Bregman, the one thing

54
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: he was talking about here was just winning, and it

55
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: felt like he said that word at least a million

56
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: times personally. The quote he said here, I've been fortunate

57
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: enough to be in the playoffs the first eight years

58
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: of my career, and I plan on continuing to do

59
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: that here. I'm a winning player. This is a winning organization.

60
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: We have winning players here, winning coaches, and I plan

61
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: on winning here. I mean my goodness, how many times

62
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: are that five? Six times? I feel like I have

63
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: a great opportunity here, you know, And that kind of

64
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: makes me think about the contract a little bit as well. Yes,

65
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: it is a short term deal, three years, has opt

66
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: outs after each year, you know, but when you consider

67
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: the money that's involved, I wonder, you know, if he

68
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: sees the potential of the Red Sox here. Yeah, you know,

69
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: let's feel it out after the first year. But there's

70
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of things going on well right now

71
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: with the Red Sox. Obviously, you know, a good amount

72
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: of talent on the team. Now, you have obviously the

73
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: number one farm system in all of Major League Baseball.

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: He sees a lot of good things here, and I

75
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: would not be surprised at all to see Bregman stay

76
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: for the entire three years, and who knows, maybe they

77
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: even work out some kind of an extension similar to

78
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: what Matt Chapman did with the Giants after signing that

79
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: short deal. So I wouldn't be surprised about that whatsoever,

80
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: you know. Knowing Bregman, I think that's a big thing

81
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: that a lot of people weren't thinking about. Yes, we

82
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: were talking about how he brings a winning pedigree to

83
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. But you gotta think this is a

84
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: guy that has pretty much pretty much been to the

85
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: postseason his entire career, you know. I mean, I don't

86
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: think the guy missed the postseason once with the Astros.

87
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: He only knows going to the postseason. So I think

88
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: when he was looking at the teams out there, you know, obviously,

89
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, we've showed into this so much, obviously going

90
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: to the Red Sox here, but you know, the Tigers

91
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: were involved, the Cubs were involved, you know, you were

92
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: probably he was probably thinking where is the best spot

93
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: to where I can go make the postseason every year?

94
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: And you know, the Tigers, they had a big offer

95
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: on the table and he definitely could have taken that

96
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: if he wanted the security, he could have taken that

97
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: six year deal, and it looked like a pretty strong

98
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: offer overall. And in the end he took a short

99
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: deal with the Red Sox because I think a part

100
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: of him, Yes, the money I think came into play

101
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: a little bit. Obviously a big pay check there, but

102
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: he saw a great opportunity here and again he said

103
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: the word winning like a million times in this press

104
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: conference and then he went on to say about the contract.

105
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: When it came to the short term deal, he said

106
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 1: he believed in his abilities. Right again, I've talked about

107
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: how Bregman he comes off like Dustin Madroya, right, I

108
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: would say, a more toned down version of Padroya. A

109
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: guy that's going to compete a compete. He's got a

110
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: swagger about him. You know, he's a guy that just

111
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: has a chip on his shoulder. So I think a

112
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: part of that he almost likes that short term deal

113
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: because it gives him that motivation, right to know, show

114
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: everyone what he can do. And speaking of Bedroya, he

115
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: actually touched on Bedroya and how Padroya uh was recruiting

116
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: him to come to Boston. He said, here, my favorite player,

117
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: Dustin Badroya UH did recruit He reached out a few

118
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: times this offseason and talked to me about how special

119
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: it was to be a part of the Boston Red Sox.

120
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: That was pretty cool to talk to him, as well

121
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: as so many other former players here in Boston and

122
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: current players on the team as well. It was great, man.

123
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: You know, I think when you think about what Paedroya

124
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: can bring to the conversation, there, you know, in a

125
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: recruitment process. You know, padroy is one of those guys

126
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: that players you know in the past today they just

127
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: respect the heck out of the guy because he was

128
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: just a dirt dog player, you know, a guy you

129
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: know that was that undersized player, you know, compared to

130
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: the norm. You know, and Padroya ended up having just

131
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: a great career. And you know, when he had as

132
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: much success as he did with the Red Sox, I

133
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: think his voice, you know, it was probably very loud

134
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: with Bregman. Gotta love that to me. Anytime there's a

135
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: story on Petroia, I think it's so cool. Scott Boris

136
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: actually touched on this as well. I thought it was

137
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: pretty funny when Boris had the hat on that. That's

138
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: something I never thought I would see. But Boris did

139
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: touch on a lot of things here. He talked about

140
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: how Bregman this is a kind of a contract that

141
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: works for him. He says here, there's some players you'd

142
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: never do this for. With a guy like Bregman, he

143
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: has just built with an understanding of himself, his confidence.

144
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: So again, you know, in a way, not surprising, right

145
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: to see him take this kind of a deal to

146
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: bet on himself. He goes on to say, in Bregman's case,

147
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: the demand for his talent, his resume and all of that,

148
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: he got long term offers, he got optionalities such as

149
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: this contract we did with Boston, and he had to

150
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: make a tough decision. We're talking about millions of that

151
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: he could have guaranteed. Yet he chose to come here,

152
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: certainly greater annual potentials, but he certainly sacrificed a lot

153
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: of the guarantee to be a Red Sox. Now again,

154
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think obviously money was a big factor here.

155
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: I think Bregman, you know, thinking about it from a

156
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: financial point of view, he sees, Okay, yeah, I can

157
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: make forty million bucks. Right, there's gonna be some of

158
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: it deferred as well. You know, he probably sees that

159
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: as well, like, all right, well, cool, I'm gonna make

160
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: forty million bucks. I can opt out of the deal,

161
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: we can rework some kind of a contract, uh, if

162
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: that ends up being the case. But but yeah, you

163
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: know that, Uh, that's something I think came into play

164
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: there where. Yeah, you know, he's getting forty million bucks.

165
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: So but again, I think the type of contract fits

166
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: very well with his personality. I'm not sure what's going

167
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: on here in the chat. Listen, if we're gonna be

168
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: saying some stuff about people signing, let's not be spreading

169
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: around any any weird stuff out there. Please leave that

170
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: out of the chat, please, So he goes on to say,

171
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: here the idea of it that there was a bit

172
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: of a charge. Oh sorry, I lost my train of

173
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: thought there. Boris actually talked about the Red Sox here

174
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: a little bit and how he noticed something different from

175
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, and he said here there was a

176
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: bit of a charge, meaning the Red Sox a bit

177
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: of an onus to really return back to winning. It

178
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: was probably a conversation I had with John. He expressed

179
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: a sincerity and more of a passion, saying we're missing

180
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: something here that should be here, that has been here,

181
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: something that's been lost, and we have a strong intention

182
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: to return to it. That, to me, I think spoke

183
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: volumes that John Henry, you know, go back to obviously

184
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: the picture that Henry posted with the cigar or his

185
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: wife posted it. I thought that was pretty funny, but

186
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: I think you know the way things have been going

187
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: in Boston here. The Red Sox are very big on

188
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: public relations very big on PR and they saw kind

189
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: of what was going on. They probably also even noticed

190
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: maybe some of those ticket sales going down a little bit.

191
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, but you know, when it came to

192
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: the Red Sox and the way you know, these past

193
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: three seasons have gone, they knew they needed to make

194
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: a change. They knew coming into the sofseason they had

195
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: to do something. Now, I didn't expect them to land

196
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: want Soto by any means, but there was definitely a

197
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: different energy about them. And I'm glad John Henry read

198
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: the room and I'm glad, you know, he saw what

199
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: needed to be done, because it felt like John Henry

200
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: wasn't even in the picture, right, you know, bringing in

201
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: theo Epstein. I feel like that was a forgotten thing

202
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: here a little bit. And I actually read a story

203
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: today about theo Wepstein and how you know, he's been

204
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: very big for Craig Breslo as of late. So you know,

205
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: I think that was a big thing, and I think

206
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: John Henry even saw something then, thinking, Okay, you know

207
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: Craig obviously, you know he's a very smart guy, a

208
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: guy that you know, could be a pretty good president

209
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: of Baseball. Operations, but I felt like putting him with

210
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: THEO one of the most successful GMS and president of

211
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: Baseball operations of all time. Pairing him with Craig I

212
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: think it was a big thing. And I think John Henry,

213
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, was a big part in making that happen.

214
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: And I'm glad, you know, John just again read the

215
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: room and new exchange needed to be made. And you

216
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: know Scott Boris talking about that. You know, say what

217
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: you will about Scott Boris, and you know the way

218
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: he's you know, handled negotiations in the past. But when he,

219
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, says something like that, I think it speaks volumes.

220
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: So glad to see that John Henry is back in

221
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: the fold. He also or John Henry's a bit more,

222
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: a bit more focused with the Red Sox. Now. It

223
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: seems Scott Boris did add on saying I think it

224
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: was after Juan Soto signed. I could tell from knowing

225
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: John back from the Marlins that he had a real

226
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: onus about we need to do things differently than we've

227
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: done before. I knew from the ownership level that they

228
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: were really looking to correct what's happened the last five

229
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: or six years, you know, go back to the whole

230
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets thing that was obviously, you know, sure, maybe

231
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: the timing of signing Mookie to an extension didn't really

232
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: line up with where the organization was. Obviously, the pharm

233
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: system was completely wrecked at the time. You didn't really

234
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: have a base there. But still I feel like you

235
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: could have made a better, better effort at bringing back Mooki.

236
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: You know, John Henry, there's been a lot of misses

237
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: over the last five years, so glad he's been stepping

238
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: it up here. Now, moving on, let's get a little

239
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: bit more into the position side of things. You know

240
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: where we're going with this. We'll get into raffiings just

241
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: a second. But when it comes to Bregman and where

242
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: he plays, obviously that's still an unknown. But Kora did

243
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: touch on the whole position side of things. He made

244
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 1: a few quotes here about where Bregman is going to play.

245
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later on, and again he said

246
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: that a few days ago. Right now, there's a lot

247
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: of stuff going on as far as we're going to

248
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: be roster wise, We'll make the decision when we have

249
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: to make it. He's a gold glove third baseman. He

250
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: hasn't played second base in the big leagues. I do

251
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: believe he can be a Gold Glove second baseman too.

252
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: There's other stuff that comes into play as far as

253
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: roster construction and what's better for the team and what

254
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: can be the best lineup. Competition comes into play. And

255
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: then he ended up by saying, I'll play in Texas.

256
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that he'll be in the lineup.

257
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: Where we'll talk about that later. Now let's get into

258
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: the story of the day, shall we. Let's get into

259
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: the story of the day. And also they did touch

260
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: on Christian Campbell a little bit as well. There's a

261
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: lot of noise about Christian Campbell right now. There's a

262
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: lot of noise going on with him. Rob Bradford actually

263
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: tuned it out today. Christian Campbell told me this morning

264
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: he has been working out pretty much exclusively at second base.

265
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: Keep that in mind. I think the Red Sox are

266
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: very high on him. All the reports suggest that the

267
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: Red Sox they see a lot in Christian Campbell, and

268
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: they see a guy that could absolutely contribute to the

269
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: Red Sox this year. The way he went through the

270
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: minor leagues last year, My goodness, the guy has just

271
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: been absolutely incredible right now, Christian campbe, let's see, seems

272
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: like he has a pretty open lane to winning the

273
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: second base job. Obviously, I know Von Grissom is in

274
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: the mix as well, but there is just so much

275
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: I would even use the word is electricity the right

276
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: now with Christian Campbell. There's just a lot of a

277
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: lot of good I don'ill say not heat, that's not

278
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: the right word. There's a lot of good heat right

279
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: now with Campbell. Uh, he's building up steam and if

280
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: he ends up having a good spring training then uh

281
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: then yeah, he's obviously going to be a part of

282
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: this conversation. But moving on to Raffi right, moving on

283
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: to Raffi here, and uh, you know when it comes

284
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: to Raffi third base. You know this has been a

285
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: talking point for a little while now when it comes

286
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: to Raffie Oldever's at third base and everyone, while I'm

287
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: pulling up the story here, while I'm getting everything set,

288
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: if you can just hit that like button for me,

289
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: that that's really gonna help out when it comes to

290
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: the algorithm here on YouTube. But get to the story here.

291
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: Rafael Devers third base. He has not been a good

292
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: third baseman over the years, and actually I have the

293
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: numbers to show you, just to just to make sure

294
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: you understand here. Over the last three seasons, out of

295
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: one hundred sixty third baseman that have played third base,

296
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty third basemen that have played at

297
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: least one hundred innings at third base, Raphael Devers ranks

298
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: one hundred fifty eighth with negative twelve outs above average.

299
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: Jake Berger comes in dead last with negative fourteen, followed

300
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: up by Patrick Wisdom. But Raffie Devers, the numbers don't lie.

301
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: I've always said this. Numbers are or facts are loud.

302
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: Numbers are louder. Sure, Raffi, you know when it comes

303
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: to errors and whatnot, I mean, yeah, you know, errors whatever. Yeah,

304
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: he got those down a little bit. But when you're

305
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: looking at the advanced metrics, when you're looking at the

306
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: outs above average, when you're looking at the fielding run value,

307
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: when you're looking at you know, his range out there,

308
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: his consistency with his throws. There's been a lot of

309
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: moments with Raffi over the last few years where even myself,

310
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: I've wanted to pull my hair out. I will never

311
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: ever say anything about the bat. We all know the

312
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: bat is amazing with Raffi, but fielding wise, I mean,

313
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 1: this has been a conversation now for a while, and uh,

314
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what ends up happening with Christian Campbell,

315
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: who knows, you know, maybe who knows, maybe he even

316
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: you know, has himself kind of a down spring, still

317
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: needs to go work on some things, and then this

318
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: conversation works itself out. But the Red Sox are obviously

319
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: very high on Christian Campbell at this point. And then

320
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: you bring in Alex Bragman, where the talk with him was, yeah,

321
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: he could be the second baseman. But if they really

322
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: want to push Campbell to the major leagues, if they

323
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,959
Speaker 1: feel like he is ready, that he can handle it

324
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: well on paper, the best thing to do would be

325
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: to put Alex Bregman at third base, a gold glove

326
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: third baseman, right. You know, if you look at the

327
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: metrics with Bregman, not the best arm you know, among

328
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: all third basemen out there, but a guy that you

329
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: know makes a great play, you know, a guy that's

330
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: very consistent at the hot corner. Bregman is clearly the

331
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: better third baseman than Raffi Devers. Unfortunately, Raffi took to

332
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: the bench today and I just pulled this up from

333
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: Boston Sports Gordo because he's amazing at just giving you

334
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: the news, and he pretty much broke it down here.

335
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: Raffi was adamant that third base is his position. When

336
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: asked if he would DH or play first base, he

337
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: just said no. Right. It was almost like, you know,

338
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: it was almost like in a way, it sounded like he,

339
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, was insulted at the question. And I get it, right,

340
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, if you're looking at it from a pride

341
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: point of view, a guy that values him self very highly.

342
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: Obviously he's the highest paid player on the Red Sox

343
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, this is a guy that he's very

344
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: prideful about himself. And you also have to think here

345
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: from Raffi's point of view too, he's in a pretty

346
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: vulnerable position. I feel like this is not something people

347
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: are talking about a lot. You know, Yeah, we can

348
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: look at the numbers, whatever, but you got to think

349
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: from his point of view, he's kind of like on

350
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: this little island, right, you know, you're bringing in Bregman.

351
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: Everyone's you know, very happy about that move, right because

352
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: it makes your team better. But from his point of view,

353
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: a guy that you know, still has a lot of

354
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: good things left to do in Major League Baseball and

355
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: a guy that sees himself as an everyday third baseman.

356
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: He's kind of right now at the center of this

357
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: talking point where everyone's you know, saying he stinks at something,

358
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: and you got to kind of put yourself in his shoes, right,

359
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: If you are very prideful about something that you do

360
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: in your own life life and everyone is saying to

361
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: you that you need to stop doing that and you

362
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 1: need to, you know, go do something else, well, then how,

363
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, how are you gonna feel? Right? So I

364
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: think that's something we need to consider as well. With Raffi. Obviously,

365
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: he's a huge part of the organization and I think

366
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna go down as one of the best Red

367
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: Sox players of all time. But you know, if you're

368
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: looking at it from the point of view, what is

369
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: going to be the best for the team, it's clearly

370
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: Bregman at third base, clearly, you know. And Raffi, you know,

371
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: it's almost like today when he was talking about it,

372
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: it's almost like it took him by surprise. But in

373
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: a way he it's like he almost knew at the

374
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: same time, this has clearly been a conversation, so you know,

375
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot of layers with this, right. Another point

376
00:20:54,720 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: to look at is Alex Korra. Alex Korra was pretty

377
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: stern about this, right Raffi. You know, he pretty much

378
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: just said no. He also said here, I also making

379
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: sure I say everything here. He said he wouldn't rule

380
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: out that you could have some conversations moving forward, but

381
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: if you kind of listen to the way he was speaking,

382
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: he pretty much said, no, I'm the third baseman. You know,

383
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: maybe we could have a conversation about it, but you

384
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: know whatever, you know, there's always room to have a talk.

385
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: But I'm the third baseman, right, you know, it is

386
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: what it is. Also, I believed Chris Katillo asked him

387
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: if this could lead to maybe asking for a trade.

388
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of people getting on to Chris

389
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: Katillo about that today. It was kind of one of

390
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: those things where Okay, well, if the Red Sox want

391
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: to have Bregman at third base, but Raffi doesn't want

392
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: to move off third base. I could see where the

393
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: question comes from, because it's like, okay, well, what's the

394
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: next step here? If you if you're not moving, if

395
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to move, well, then what are we doing? Right?

396
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: So I saw a lot of people say maybe the

397
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: question was a little bit too much. I can understand it,

398
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, was it needed? You know, there's an argument there,

399
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: there's a debate there, you know, but from a reporter's

400
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: point of view, if they're trying to get as much

401
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: information as possible, you know, uh, you know, I get

402
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: it right. I could see though maybe it was a

403
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: little bit of a bit of an interesting question to ask.

404
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: I'll say, it is what it is. But he did

405
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: say that, you know, he basically hinted that he wouldn't

406
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: rule it out anyway. I don't think Raffi's getting traded.

407
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: Let's just we'll talk about that in just a second, now.

408
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: Court he was very stern about this. He pretty much

409
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, when asked about this and Raffi. Another thing

410
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: that he said was he was promised that he was

411
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: going to be the third baseman right when he signed

412
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: the extinction, that they gave him his word, and he

413
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: felt like, it's not good business to go against your word.

414
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, yes, When you you know, one

415
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: of a man's best things is his word, right, and

416
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: if you give your if you give a man your word,

417
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: then you should live by it. However, that man is

418
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: not here anymore. In Hein Bloom Heim Bloom was the

419
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 1: guy here in charge when they got the extinction done. Now,

420
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: I know, obviously at the same ownership group, but in

421
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: the end, when it came from a baseball decisions point

422
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: of view, HEINM. Bloom was the guy. He's now with

423
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,959
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. And that's what Alex Corus said here today.

424
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: He made it clear that Hein Bloom was no longer

425
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: there and he was in Saint Louis, pretty much hinting

426
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: at the fact, Yeah, Craig Bresler runs the show. Now,

427
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,959
Speaker 1: we have different people in the organization now that are

428
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: making baseball decisions. They want him off at third base. Well, again,

429
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: those aren't the people that gave him their word, right,

430
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: different organization or different people running the show now. Now.

431
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of people today talking about what

432
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: the actual timeline of this. Again, there's layers to this, right,

433
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: There's some things you really have to unfold. And I

434
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: feel like Jared, Jared corrab Is, he actually put out

435
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: a pretty good tweet here. This is kind of how

436
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: I feel a little bit. I have a couple of

437
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: different things to say about this, But Jared put out

438
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: a tweet saying the Red Sox were right to have

439
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: the move off third base talk with Raphael Devers when

440
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: they did. You're not going to have that talk unless

441
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: Bregman signs here or aeron Otto was traded here. Can't

442
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: blame the Red Sox for the timing of the conversation.

443
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: Can't blame Devers for feeling blindsided. Now I agree, because

444
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: because it's kind of an awkward situation when you could,

445
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: let's Bregman's not signed yet, Let's do a hypothetical. Let's

446
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: kind of play this out here in our heads. Bregman's

447
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: not signed, no Aeronaudo trade. Do you go to Rafi

448
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: hey Man, you know, we know you're our franchise guy,

449
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: but we're looking to make a move for third base, right,

450
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: we want to go maybe sign Bregman, maybe trade for Aeronado.

451
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: Raffi obviously knew these things were going on. I mean,

452
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: come on, obviously, in this day of social media, he

453
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: knows he hears things. But if you if you have

454
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: that conversation with him prior and then one of those

455
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: moves don't happen, well, then you kinda you're in a

456
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: bit of an awkward spot now because now you almost

457
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: have to backtrack, right, I could understand the point of

458
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: view where, you know, have the conversation with him. Listen,

459
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: we want to we want to try and add someone.

460
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: Would you be okay with moving off? Of course, you

461
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: would ask him how he feels, and if he says no,

462
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: But then you're kind of in it. You're kind of

463
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: stuck in no man's land at that point because well, okay,

464
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: well what do you do about your pursuit now for

465
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: Aeronauto or Bregman and of course the whole second base

466
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: thing with Bregman. But Christian Campbell is lighting the world

467
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: on fire. So it's like if you kind of go

468
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: to Raffi prior, you're basically stuck, you know, if he

469
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: says no. So that's where like kind of really the

470
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: best thing to do was to just go make the

471
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: move and then have the talk. You know, I've seen

472
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: some people say, oh, they waited too long to talk

473
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: with him after well, you know, you know, things are happening,

474
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: things are going on, and maybe that was the best

475
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: time to have the talk with him. Again, I think

476
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: this is interesting because I don't really have a problem

477
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: with the timeline of the talk personally. It's just my opinion,

478
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: but I also see other opinions out there as well.

479
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: But in the end, and this is kind of my

480
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: thought here, this is where I'm at when it comes

481
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: to Raffia at third base. Like I said, facts are loud,

482
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: numbers are louder. I've and my eyes don't lie to me.

483
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: I've watched Raffi now every game for how many years now. Yeah,

484
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: he makes some good plays here and there. There's definitely

485
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: been a couple of highlight reel plays where it's like, wow, Raffi, Okay,

486
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: But I think you could argue that, you know, some

487
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: of those pretty good plays, maybe even a pretty good third,

488
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: a good third baseman out there maybe makes that a

489
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: play like that look easy. You know, I'm not taking

490
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: anything away from Raffia and the good plays that he's made,

491
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: but you know, when you look at it from guys

492
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: out there that are just so good defensively, you know,

493
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: they make hard plays look routine. And but again, Raffi,

494
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: he has made those good plays. But if you're looking

495
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: at it from a consistency point of view. I've seen

496
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: so many times ball goes off his glove, he charges in,

497
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, on a on a weak grounder doesn't come

498
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: up with it, maybe comes up with a weak grounder,

499
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: makes a bat throat to first. It's it's been countless times.

500
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: I can't, like, I can't even think of how many

501
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: times something like that has happened because it's been so many.

502
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: It feels like it was almost like every night. It

503
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: wasn't every night, but that's kind of how it felt

504
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: with how many times I was seeing something from Raffi

505
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: from a consistency point of view, Yeah, where maybe you

506
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: want to pull your hair out. To me personally, I

507
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: think from a numbers point of view and from my eyes,

508
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: from the eye test, Raffi should not be at third base.

509
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: You should put the better defender at third base. And

510
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: I think from Raffi's point of view again, I understand

511
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: he's coming from a vulnerable point of view there. You know,

512
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: he's coming from like a kind of a like a

513
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 1: no man's land situation where like everyone's against him. But

514
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: to me again, I get it, like you're prideful and

515
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: then you know you should be that way. And I'm

516
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: gonna also put that as well. You should be that way.

517
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: You should take pride in what you do. If you

518
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: feel like you're good at something, you put the you

519
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: put the walls up, you put the foot down and say, no,

520
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: this is this is my job. I want to keep

521
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: getting better at this, you know, I want to show

522
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: people what I can do. You know, the end of

523
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: the day, he is one of the you know, best

524
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: overall players you know a major league base Well, I

525
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: don't say overall when you count the defense, but when

526
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: you take a look at the bat, he's one of

527
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: the best overall hitters in Major League baseball, you know. So, yeah,

528
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: he takes pride in what he does, and I think

529
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: he should be reacting this way. However, I do think

530
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: eventually there needs to be, you know, there there needs

531
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: to be, what's the right way to say this, a

532
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: realistic moment where where you look at yourself in the

533
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: mirror and you look at what's going on with the team,

534
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: and you look at just all the good vibes that

535
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: are happening, and you got guys that are just better

536
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: at the spot that can help you. RAFFI should put

537
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: the guard down at some point. And again, that's nothing

538
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: against him. But if the main goal is winning, if

539
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: you want to win, if you want to bring championships

540
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: to Boston, the best move is to go to DH.

541
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: You're not going to first base because I don't think

542
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: Tristan Cossas is getting moved. Maybe at some point that

543
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: could be the happy medium where I've talked about that before. Again,

544
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I don't think you're moving Casas

545
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: at this point. I know he's come up in trade

546
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: rumors a lot. Could there be some kind of a deal.

547
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think that's gonna happen.

548
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: And even if you did move, make him with Cassas.

549
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, is this really enough time to get ready

550
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: for first base? Wouldn't you want to have an entire

551
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: offseason to get ready for first base? Probably? I don't know.

552
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert by any means, but I would

553
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: imagine you would at least want to know going into

554
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: the off season that there's a good shot you're playing

555
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: first base, right, so you have the whole winner to prepare,

556
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: not just one spring training. Then again, who knows, maybe

557
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe he could even handle I don't know,

558
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: but that's just my opinion. D h s right now

559
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: seems to be the best fit. You know, that's just

560
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: kind of where I'm at. You know, you figure out

561
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: what to do with Yoshida. I do hope Raffi comes

562
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: around at some point, you know. Loom Marloni he did

563
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: touch on a story where John Valentin the shortstop when

564
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: no more Garcia Para came up. Valentine was not happy

565
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: when he was told that he was going to be

566
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: moving off short and Loum Marloney actually said in his

567
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: Walk the Dog video a little bit earlier, he said

568
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: that Valentine went home for a couple of days, right

569
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: that was quite a while ago, but eventually he came back,

570
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: ended up making the move, and everything was hunky dory.

571
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: I feel like that is what is gonna happen here

572
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: at some point. I think, you know, once you get

573
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: a couple of sleeps, you have a couple of conversations.

574
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: I do think there will be a conversation at one

575
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: point behind closed doors. I think there's gonna be a

576
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: sit down, a kumbay, a kind of a thing. I

577
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: think they'll figure this out because in the end, the

578
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: goal is to win, and if you have a better

579
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: third baseman, defensively clearly better, that's who you go with,

580
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: especially if Christian Campbell is ready. That is a bit,

581
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: that is something you know that we should not take lightly.

582
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: You know, don't just think Christian Campbell is just right

583
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: off the bat. He's your second basement, right. He does

584
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: have to show he's ready, but you should be ready

585
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: to make that move if the time is right, and

586
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: RAFFI should be open to that. Again, it's all about winning.

587
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: It's all about the team. Whatever you can do. And

588
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: to me, if I'm Rafi, you know, I take on.

589
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: I take that on by the horns. Man. If you

590
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: tell me that I'm a d H we need bragman

591
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: at third base, I'm gonna be the best freaking d

592
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: H alive. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go out there

593
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: and try to put up better numbers than Otani. I'm

594
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: gonna just go take the world by storm. If that's

595
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: what you're gonna give me, all right, fine, I'll show

596
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: you how good I can be at that, right. I

597
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: think in a way, trying to shandle it is motivation.

598
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,239
Speaker 1: It's kind of where I think. You know, again, I'm

599
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: not rap. I don't know Raffia. I don't. I don't.

600
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: You know, I'm obviously not rafi. I'm not gonna speak

601
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: for him, but I do hope that is the way

602
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: this conversation goes. I do hope that we see a change,

603
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, in the in the tone here. Today was

604
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: not a good day. It was not a good day

605
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: when you saw the way he was sitting there, you know, defiant,

606
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, a guy that was not giving it up.

607
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: You know. Uh, he wanted to stay strong, and I

608
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: respect that. I think that's, uh, that's what he should do.

609
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: But I do hope the tone of the conversation turns,

610
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: and I hope that you don't have this being a

611
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: distraction in spring training. You don't want, especially Bregman, coming

612
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: into the fold, you know, and you got a thing

613
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: from Bregman's point of view, think about this too, think

614
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 1: about this. I wonder actually how he feels about this. Bregman,

615
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: he was in a bit of a different spot when

616
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: he first came up to the major leagues. But remember

617
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: he was a shortstop and Alex Korra, you know, the

618
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: guys there, they said, hey, we need you to be

619
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: at third because we got Carlos Korea. I mean, did Bregman.

620
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: I mean, sure, Bregman. I would imagine there is probably

621
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: something there, that competitive nature that he has. He probably thought,

622
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: I'm better than Carlos Korea, I'm a better shortstop than him.

623
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 1: But well, you know what, I'll go be the best

624
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: third baseman I can be, and look what's ended up happening.

625
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: He's had an extremely successful career, So I wonder what

626
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: he thinks about this, all right, he kind of he's

627
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: obviously the new guy there. He doesn't want to step

628
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: on any toes. But I just don't want this to

629
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: lead to anything in the clubhouse. That's what you don't want,

630
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: So you don't want, you know, you don't want to

631
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: get off on the wrong foot. I hope they figure

632
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: this out. I think they will figure this out. Cora.

633
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: He's one of the best managers out there when it

634
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: comes to this, Cora. If you're going to listen to

635
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: anyone about where where you should be playing, that man

636
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 1: is the best man to talk to. That guy played

637
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: every single position pretty much, you know, besides catcher and picture.

638
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 1: Really you know, did he play first base? I can't

639
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 1: even remember. He probably did at least an inning, But uh,

640
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: I think they'll figure it out. I think Korra he'll

641
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: get on the same page. I think Raffi will come

642
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: around at some point, because in the end, you want

643
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: to win, you got to put the best team on

644
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: the field. And listen, I've been saying this the entire offseason,

645
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: and I've been mentioning this too. You know, you see

646
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: words like Craig Breslow. He wants to bring the most

647
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: wins to the team, right He wants to put the

648
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: best team on the field. He does want the best lineup.

649
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: He wants the best team, so you gotta think of offense

650
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: and defense. He's been saying that so much this offseason,

651
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: you know, recently saying, you know, he wants to you know,

652
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: have the best team offensively and defensively. You know he's

653
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: even said that, So I'm not surprised to see this

654
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: come up. I made a prediction in the beginning of

655
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: the offseason that Raffi was gonna get moved off a

656
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: third because it was the right time to do it.

657
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: You go back to David Ortiz. I know David Ortiz

658
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: was not a third baseman. He was a first baseman.

659
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: But go back to that twenty eight years old, he

660
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: was playing a little first base that year, but they

661
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: eventually took him off because they're like, all right, you know,

662
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: you can't be on first. I don't think he was

663
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: as prideful about playing first base as Raffi is playing third.

664
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: But still you can go to that DH spot at

665
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: twenty eight years old. You're not too young to do it.

666
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: You just gotta build that mindset. I honestly really think

667
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: if you put Raffi as the DH, I think that

668
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: guy ends up giving you insane numbers because he can

669
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: just focus on the bat. He's already so good with

670
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: the bat playing third base. Imagine what he can do

671
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: focusing on that all the time. And then also another

672
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: part of this is I think he ends up staying healthier.

673
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna get him off the field. You're gonna get

674
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: him off his feet a little bit. You know, the

675
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: guy once again, he's his shoulders are bugging him again

676
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 1: this offseason or this spring training already. I think it's

677
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: it keeps him healthy. You know, we're gonna have to

678
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: make sure, you know, because you're not going out there

679
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: onto the field every day, you're gonna have to, you know,

680
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: make sure you're keeping the weight in check a little

681
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: bit David Ortiz, he did a great job at that

682
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: throughout his career. RAFFI, he would have to do the

683
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: same thing. But again, I'm rambling about this. I think

684
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: they figured this out eventually, and they'll get it worked out.

685
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 1: They'll get it worked out. But everyone, everyone really quick

686
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: before I do move on here, before I do move on,

687
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: I just want to go over tonight's sponsor and got

Speaker 1: But everyone, let's go to our last story of the night. Here,

720
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: we got a little Dylan Cease in the news. What

721
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: the heck is going on here with mister Dylan Cease. Well,

722
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: we got a little something something here from Sean McCadam

723
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: the other day. Actually, Jared carav Has had this first

724
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: on Twitter. He actually said to someone on Twitter that

725
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: he was hearing at the Red Sox like Dylan Cease,

726
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: and then aw Sean McCadam. He followed up with it

727
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: with an article on mass Live and confirming that this

728
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: is very interesting. This was a big talking point over

729
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 1: the weekend, a big discussion, big debate over the weekend.

730
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: I saw a lot a lot of different opinions on this, like,

731
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 1: way too many different opinions on this. You pretty much had,

732
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, half of the people thinking Nope, nope, it's

733
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: only one year of Dylan Cease, not worth it, not

734
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: worth giving up the players. And but then I saw

735
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: other people thinking, hello, we're trying to win a World

736
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: series over here, for crying out loud, like why would

737
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: we not go after Dylan Cease. I'm kind of in

738
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: the middle, right Obviously, I would love to have someone

739
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: like him in the rotation. You would have to figure

740
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: out the rotation at that point. I mean, if you

741
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: bring him in and you're not giving up say like

742
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: Cutter Crawford, I mean you got to figure out like

743
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: who's going where? Right, You know, Lucas Giolito, is he

744
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: the long man in the rotator in the bullpen or

745
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: like you're paying him that much money to be, you know,

746
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: your sixth starter pretty much your swingman out there. I

747
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: don't know about that. I don't know if E would

748
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: even if he would even want to do that, So

749
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: you know, there would be a logjam there a little bit.

750
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: But Dylan Cees, no doubt would upgrade your rotation. However,

751
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: I do think what you're giving up matters. But this

752
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 1: is where I could see maybe you could figure something

753
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 1: out when it comes to the Red Sox point of view. Right,

754
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we're talking about Christian Campbell here a

755
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: lot in this episode. Don't forget about Roman Anthony. Don't

756
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: forget about him. Let's say they feel Roman Anthony is ready,

757
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: he is ready for opening day. This is a guy

758
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: that can contribute to the Red Sox on Day one,

759
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: just like Jackson Merrill did for the Pores last year, right,

760
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 1: Jackson Curio did for the Brewers. If they feel like

761
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony is ready to go, well, then you got

762
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: a surplus of outfielders at that point. Sean McCadam. He

763
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,439
Speaker 1: did mention in his article that maybe someone like will

764
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: you're a bray you could be an option right the Padres,

765
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: you know, losing Jackson profile of this past offseason going

766
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: to the Braves, all they did was bringing Jason Hayward

767
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: and Connor Joe. Maybe someone like him could be an option. However,

768
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: that's a big ask, right because you know, that is

769
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: asking a lot of Roman Anthony from day one, I

770
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: would imagine, you know, especially with the way the Red

771
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: Sox have always done things, they like to ease these

772
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: guys to the major league level. You know, maybe you

773
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: know someone like Christian Campbell that's a little bit different.

774
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: You know, Jackie Bradley Junior, go back to him. They

775
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: were pretty aggressive with him. They put him on the

776
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: opening day roster in twenty thirteen at a spring training

777
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: because he was just hitting so well that spring, so

778
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: they were aggressive with him. You know, I could see

779
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: them doing that with Campbell here because he's just made

780
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 1: such good strides over the last year, and the guy

781
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 1: the numbers were off the charts. But maybe they feel,

782
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: like Roman Anthony, you know, there's no need to rush him,

783
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: so maybe they would be a bit more comfortable just

784
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: putting him in tripa a to start off the year

785
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: where right now, the Red Sox. You know, you got

786
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: Von Grissom at second base, so you know you could

787
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: who knows how he's gonna perform. I mean, that's another

788
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: thing to pat sanction to this spring. But you know,

789
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: if you really wanted to fill a hole, second base

790
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: has been a hole for the Red Sox, so you

791
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: could be aggressive in that situation. So getting back to

792
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: the point again, it really comes down to is someone

793
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: like Roman ready. If he is, if they feel like

794
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: he's ready to take that mantle, then maybe someone like

795
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,479
Speaker 1: WILLI or bray You could be a guy you send back.

796
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: Right personally, I could see where that might be a

797
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: little bit too much value wise right now, at least

798
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,439
Speaker 1: they do line up pretty close. To my opinion, Dylan

799
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 1: Sees is one of the best pictures in baseball. He's

800
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: been one of the best pictures over the last few years.

801
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,439
Speaker 1: This is a guy that could give you. He could

802
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: be a five wins above replacement picture would be amazing

803
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:47,479
Speaker 1: for the rotation. So one year of him, at least

804
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: value wise, based compared to the projections of a bray

805
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: You moving forward, you know, they're pretty I would say,

806
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: pretty close, right because Dylan sees is that good all right?

807
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 1: Will you? You never know, he could take a big

808
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: step forward and he could end up being even better

809
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: than he was this past year. So I do see

810
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: the risk there. But then I also just see how

811
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: much of a surplus you have. So usually when it

812
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: comes to the rental guys, I think it's best to

813
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 1: deal from a surplus right where it's not gonna hurt you. Yes,

814
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: it stings, but because you already have other internal options,

815
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a hindrance on you long term.

816
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: So that's where a Bray you. I could see the

817
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: logic of that, But then again I also wonder, getting

818
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: back to the point with Anthony, if you feel like

819
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: he needs a little time, or you just want him

820
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: to really perfect those little things, you bring him up

821
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: later in the year. Maybe someone like a Bray you

822
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: doesn't need to get moved right now. Maybe you could

823
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: wait until the deadline, maybe you know, hold off, and

824
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: then when someone else becomes available you go for it.

825
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: Then you know, maybe Dylan Ceese is still on the

826
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: Poreys and uh, you know, they did just bring a

827
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: Nick Pavetta, So it seems like the Paureys they're wanting

828
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: to compete, but let's say they're kind of falling out

829
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: of it. Cees could be an option at the deadline. Well,

830
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, at that point, maybe you could revisit some talks.

831
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: You know, maybe someone like a bray You could be

832
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: an option, or you know, someone like Sandy Alkintara. If

833
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: you feel like you need to go get a starter,

834
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: maybe someone like him you could send, you know, Willier

835
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: to the Marlins. I think that would be a pretty

836
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: good get for them. So I think right now it

837
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: would be cool to add Cease, But I feel like

838
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: you don't need to make that move at this moment

839
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: because you already have so much starting pitching now. I

840
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: know Cutter Crawford, he's got some stuff going on with

841
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 1: the knee, So that's something to pay attention to. Who knows,

842
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: maybe later on in spring you could maybe revisit this.

843
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: Rob Bradford did put out today that, uh, Dylan Cees

844
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: to the Red Sox is a long shot. Red Sox

845
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: have no intention of including Willy or bray You in

846
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: any such deal. So again, you know, when you're looking

847
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: at it from a roster point of view, with Anthony

848
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 1: Willier could make some sense to use in a deal

849
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: at some point. But I could also see the argument

850
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: where you would rather use him to go land a

851
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: guy that's under more control, right because he already has

852
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: so much control of his own So maybe someone like

853
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: Sandy all Kintara could make some sense, you know, do

854
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: a package with Willier, maybe a couple other guys, and

855
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: you can go do something there. We'll see. I feel

856
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: like Dylan Ceese is probably not gonna happen unless an

857
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: injury happens. If you find out Cutter Crawford could miss

858
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 1: a lot of time. But then again, the Red Sox,

859
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: you got guys like Richard Fitz, maybe even Quinn Priester

860
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: can do something there. You have guys. I feel like Cees,

861
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: you don't need to do this right now. Maybe later on.

862
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: That's kind of where I'm at. Would it be cool?

863
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: Would it be cool to go live and be like,

864
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, the Red Sox just traded for Dylan Ceas.

865
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that'd be awesome, right, it'd be exciting,

866
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: But I feel like you don't need to do it

867
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:15,720
Speaker 1: right now, you know, And maybe the Red Sox again,

868
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: maybe they're making a phone call and uh, that doesn't

869
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: mean That doesn't mean you have to do something at

870
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: this moment. There's always time. I know other teams get

871
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: in the mix. But we'll see. But then again, you

872
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: ask some other teams out there. Right Frankie Motaz with

873
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: the Mets, he's down. Maybe the Mets make a phone

874
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: call here and uh they feel like, you know, they're

875
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: a team that could be a bit more aggressive the

876
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: Red Sox. They don't need to really be aggressive right now.

877
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: I don't see it happening. You know, it was pretty

878
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: fun to talk about over the weekend. I just don't

879
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: see Will. You're being used as a as a guy

880
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: here for a one year rental because you know Dylan

881
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: ces is going out to the free agent market. He's

882
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 1: a Scott Boris Klient, right. You know you're not gonna

883
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: give up Will. You're easily. He's a good player. You

884
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. You don't even though you

885
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: have Roman there, you don't do that right now. I

886
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: think right now, you keep that stability out in right field.

887
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: He's a very good right fielder for you. He's very

888
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: good defensively. He's gonna give you a good bat from

889
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: the left side. Let's see how he does against left

890
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: handed pitching this year. But no, you don't give up,

891
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 1: will You're right now. I don't think this is the

892
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: right move to make, just my opinion. I see the

893
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: idea though, behind it, so if it happened would be

894
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I don't see it happening though, Lox smart.

895
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why the hate on Richard Fits. Do

896
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: not hate on my man, Richard Fits. I'm not gonna

897
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: say the nickname out loud because this is a family

898
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: friendly show. But do not hate on the man Richard Fits.

899
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 1: That guy could do some things. He's pretty good. But everyone,

900
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap it up right there. There was a

901
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. I know, I was kind of

902
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: bouncing around a little bit. There's a lot of layer

903
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: with the Raffi stuff. That's gonna be interesting. I'll say

904
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: one more time. I do think that's gonna work itself out. Hopefully,

905
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: hopefully this isn't turn in anything. You know, I'm not

906
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: even gonna get into the conversation of trades. We're not

907
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: doing that. He's not getting traded. There's no that's not happening,

908
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: no way. Even though people talked about it today, I'm

909
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: not gonna dive into it. Because I just don't think

910
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:31,000
