Speaker 2: That might be my number one sport like everyone else,

83
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: But if you grew up playing baseball, you just have

84
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: this love and passion for the game. I think baseball

85
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: is just a beautiful sport. Everything about it, everything, every

86
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: little thing about how they magically worked it out one

87
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: hundred plus years ago, that a ground ball to shortstop,

88
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: if played cleanly, you're out by a step, like the measurements.

89
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: Everything about baseball is freaking perfect, perfecto.

90
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: Even though they're taking away the Kazon this year and

91
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to be like, was that a strike.

92
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 5: I don't know.

93
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to go back to like the old

94
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: timey time, you can have to go back to the

95
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: twenty tens when there was no Kazon.

96
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: But Tony Clark's in the news, and this is no way.

97
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: This is not good news.

98
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: Because the baseball season that's coming up, you better embrace it,

99
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: you better love it, because I don't feel good about

100
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 2: where things go from here. The equity to enrich themselves

101
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: is that someone in the way of saying he stole money.

102
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: Well, that's only part of the story.

103
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is sort of a juicy story, and much

104
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: like a juicy heine, as we already mentioned, people love

105
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: a juicy story. Yeah, and Tony Clark, who was a

106
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: great player in Detroit, speaking of Detroit sports, played for

107
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: my Yankees. Yeah, hit a ground rule double that could

108
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: have prevented the whole two thousand and four the bacle

109
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: with the Red Sox grew out of Beard in retirement,

110
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 2: became the head of the MLBPA. He's the head of

111
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: the MLB Players Union and he's resigning now. For me,

112
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: it's a two part crazy story because he got his

113
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: sister in law hired.

114
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: A few years ago, like three years ago.

115
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: Turns out he's having relations with her, took her to

116
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: a Bangladesh. That's a no no on multiple levels. Right,

117
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 2: that's the whole company inc thing and scandalous. And it's

118
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: his wife's sister. Like whoa hey, slow down, Tony Clark.

119
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: And now he's under federal investigation because they used licensing

120
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: money and equity for themselves, so allegedly allegedly his wife's sister.

121
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so that's what I'm saying.

122
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: So, yeah, he's scamming money, yeah, a little allegedly, little

123
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: oral and then you know the old BJ Sirhoff was

124
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: in full effect, little bj Upton. You know he was

125
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: doing all sorts of shenanigans behind the scenes. Gett a

126
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: little sticky, icky icky.

127
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: What's worse?

128
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: By the way, when when you said sister in law

129
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: would have been worse if it was his brother's wife

130
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: or his wife's sister, why I didn't need to know?

131
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: Is there a worse facts here? Let's see, wife, they're

132
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: both bad. If you're so bad, let's play it that,

133
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: let's speak. I was trying to figure out what was worse.

134
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: I don't think there is a worse one, all right,

135
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: let's play there is, actually there is.

136
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 5: There is.

137
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: If you were to sleep with your beautiful girlfriend Jordan's

138
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: sister or your brother Tommy's girlfriend, my brother Tommy's girlfriend,

139
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: that'll be worse because that's my brother.

140
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: You're betraying your brother.

141
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: You can't betray your brother. You can't betray your brother

142
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: like that. And I'm not saying betraying your wife is

143
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: even is better, but it is. It's a little worth

144
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: less worse. You're betraying your wife in both cases, yeah,

145
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: but in this case, you betraying your wife and your brother.

146
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: See the difference. One is betraying your wife and brother.

147
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: One's betraying just your wife. So I guess he took

148
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: the lesser of the two evils because he was with

149
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: his wife's sister.

150
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 3: That he got higher. He deserves a pat on the back.

151
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 5: What a great guy.

152
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: That's so shady, dude, Like, you can't be pulling favors

153
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: for your uh, sexual pleasures or something.

154
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: So he got his wife's sister hired in the MLB.

155
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: She was part of the MLB Players Association, apparently having relations.

156
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: And that's scandalous enough. And then when you hear the

157
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: rest of the story, you're like, oh, Well, the phrasing

158
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: I saw was equity to enrich themselves insinuates allegedly some

159
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: type of money grab correc Sam, whuld you say that

160
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: siphoning of sorts equity to enrich themselves sounds like some.

161
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 3: Legal skimming off the top? Yeah, little money here, little

162
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: money there.

163
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 5: Man.

164
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 7: By the way, guys, and infidelity leads to home wrecking,

165
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 7: but it also leads to getting into your work.

166
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 5: It's also it's work wrecking as well.

167
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: Home and work wrecking a reminder to uh, don't dip

168
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 3: your pen and company, inc.

169
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 5: That you know not.

170
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: Everything's like an sleazy eighties comedy where you know you

171
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: your proper up on the photocopy here, there's no sanctuary anymore.

172
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: Don't do it. It's not worth it.

173
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I say, don't proper up on the photo like

174
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: it looked fun in some eighties movie that you saw.

175
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: But it's not worth it.

176
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: By the way, how many times has that been a

177
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: plot line in like a stupid show or someone took

178
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: if someone took a success someone took.

179
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 3: A copy of Budgets. No, it's not worth it. I

180
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 3: don't care how hot she is.

181
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: And you know what, ninety percent of the time I'm

182
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 2: just making this thatt up ninety percent of the time.

183
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: According to this guy that you heard on the radio,

184
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: it's what we call relative proximity hot.

185
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 3: What does that mean? She's not that hot. You're risking

186
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 3: your career and reputation on a person.

187
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 2: This goes both ways. This isn't towards the ladies. Ladies,

188
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 2: this goes towards the men too. They're relative proximity hot.

189
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: They're hot for the office. They're just hot for the office,

190
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: and outside of the office they're not even that hot,

191
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: and you're risking it all. And listen, MLB doesn't need

192
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: this headline, doesn't need this story. Things are good. I

193
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: can't say, listen, if there's money skimming, then I don't

194
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: feel bad for him.

195
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: But the relationship part, by.

196
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: Goodness, this how many men, and you can say women,

197
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 2: but how many men have have let their pursuit of

198
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 2: boutet bring them down?

199
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: Bring them down?

200
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: Politics, sports, entertainment, family members, friends.

201
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: How many people do you know, really.

202
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: Let let's be honest ask get in the way of

203
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: their whole life as like we are just you know,

204
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: there's something just so stupidly primal about guys.

205
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's like I got life like this is a

206
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: guy stupid. This guy had life by the nuts. Tony Clark,

207
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: he did.

208
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: He was a professional athlete that was successful. And it's

209
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: how easy to make that transition from l to head

210
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 2: of the MLBPA. Respected good guy, but you've seen it

211
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: with politicians and athletes and important people. By the way,

212
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: fifteen years in the league. He had a great career.

213
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: How many home runs you think Tony Clark had over

214
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: or under three hundred?

215
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: I was going to say two forty seven?

216
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 6: Wow?

217
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, I don't know. I have the number five

218
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: to my head. You're close to fifty one.

219
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: Have you noticed I have like some odd knack for

220
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 2: these little guests the game. I mean, you got that

221
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 2: giant head at least his field with something. Because I

222
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 2: was like no, But when you said tony clock, I'm like,

223
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 2: probably about three hundred, but not quite.

224
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, do you all right?

225
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: I'll push on a spot again since you like this

226
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: game so much?

227
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: Was his career high?

228
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 5: Performed this on Mondays on our afternoon show one.

229
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: I know how many career high home runs?

230
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 5: Yeah?

231
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 3: We have like twenty eight thirty four? Okay, yeah, I

232
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: mean you're in.

233
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 2: The ball and he had like two seventy two the

234
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: years career, Yeah, close to sixty two.

235
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, but he was a solid solid in Detroit.

236
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: He was a he was a force. Again.

237
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: He grew out that rip van Winkle beard and became

238
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: a big dog in the MLB.

239
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

240
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: So, I mean he had a great reputation. That's what

241
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 3: really stinks.

242
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: It not I'm not making excuses for dudes at all

243
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: or women. It's just it really is wild to think

244
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: how many people.

245
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: Really let what's in their pants control their brain? What's

246
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 3: in your pants? Let me come on pulling up our

247
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 3: feedback on the into chat right now.

248
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 2: Like I said, if anything from this story is you

249
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 2: got to keep your fingers crossed for the MLB. The

250
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: timing's bad. Let's you gotta remind yourself that, Yeah, I

251
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: get it. That dude in the office, or that woman

252
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 2: who's strutting her little business booty down the hallway, Yes

253
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: she looks great and all, but it's not worth it.

254
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 2: Get a grip Arrowsmith style, Get a grip and focus

255
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: on I don't know, work. Aren't you supposed to be working?

256
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: It's not worth it, guys. Now, let's talk about the

257
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 2: real ramifications of baseball because this doesn't only affect the

258
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: livelihood and personal life of Tony Clark. This guy, you know,

259
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: made some mistakes. We're all human, so I'm not going

260
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: to come down too hot on the sky. But wife's sister, man,

261
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: my goodness, Luise MLB, this guy's horned up.

262
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: My goodness.

263
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: That's the other thing. There's so many people out there.

264
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: You had to go at your not only someone you

265
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: work with, someone in your family. Dude, calm down, relax.

266
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: Formal CBA negotiations are expected to begin in the spring.

267
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: If no new deal, shout out to FDR on President's

268
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: Day week. If there's no new deal, If there's no

269
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: new deal reached by December first, my dad's birthday.

270
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: What's up Dad?

271
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: Of twenty twenty six after the season, so we are

272
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: safe for one full baseball season.

273
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: But if there's no agreement reached.

274
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: By December first, I'm sure people know, but we could

275
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 2: be looking at a lockout, a shutdown, and a possible

276
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: delay of the twenty twenty seventh season. And here's the big,

277
00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: like elephant in the room, salary cap. Not one in

278
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball or any sport for that matter, wants

279
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: a salary cap. Salary cap just means players that are

280
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: gonna get Pryce Harper definitely doesn't want. Yeah, remember he

281
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 2: told the commissioner and get the f out of the

282
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 2: locker room, and like tell you, I think he gave

283
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: the throats. I think he gave the commissioner a wedgie.

284
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: He said, don't even think about it. But no player

285
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: wants salary caps. Flapped him because you're what you really

286
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: want is the most money possible. There's a narrative going

287
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: around that this kid gets sticky icky because no player

288
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: in the Union is gonna want a salary cap. And

289
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: they're saying, every owner except maybe three or four teams.

290
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: You took Dodgers, he took a thirty teats and who

291
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: else they're saying, maybe twenty five Danny of the thirty teams,

292
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: the Yankees, I know, they're being a little stingy. So

293
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: the Yankees, they're saying, are back and forth, like the

294
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: Yankees will spend, but they wouldn't be opposed to a

295
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: salary cap.

296
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: So who's the third team.

297
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: It's like the Dodgers Mets, and they're saying Steve Cohen

298
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: just yesterday was like, you know, Dodgers, I could spend too.

299
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 5: I know, I don't think the Blue Jays would be

300
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 5: down with.

301
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: Is that the thirteen they're saying the Phillies might be

302
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: open to spend. But Danny, even Steve Cohen historically as

303
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: a Mets fan, I know this, He's gone back and

304
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: forth on Listen.

305
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: I'm willing to spend.

306
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: But just because I'm a billionaire doesn't mean I have

307
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: like an open wallet and it's just endless, like I'll

308
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: spend when and how I can to make my team

309
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: try to win. Yeah, So the timing of this is

310
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: bad for baseball because if you got Tony Clark resigning

311
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: like that doesn't help anything, doesn't help negotiations here.

312
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 3: What's what's the solution here?

313
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: Since Tony Tony Gonzalez, since Tony Clark is out the mix,

314
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: what do you think happens this year? Do you think

315
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: unfortunately with baseball poppin O, Tawny Judge Soto, Bobby Witt Junior,

316
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: all these young stars of the game, the schemes and

317
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: all the way you just named without even thinking about it. Yeah,

318
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: the top four hitters projected in the World Baseball Classic

319
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: this year.

320
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 5: Look at that.

321
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 3: I'm on the pulse.

322
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: Those are the top four hitters, not in the correct order,

323
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: but you just named them without even knowing it like that.

324
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: Do you want to throw the fifth out there just

325
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: to see you're right? So I said, all right, you said,

326
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: you said Judge, Shohy Witch Junior and Sodo the fifth.

327
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: Who's the fifth top hitter in the WBC in twenty

328
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: twenty six next month?

329
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: That's a great question. I'll give you a hint. He

330
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: plays for ten USA no Usay, no, I know Mike

331
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: Tratt's not playing.

332
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 5: You got this.

333
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: We talked about him all year. We talked about him

334
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 3: all year. Yeah, you got this.

335
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: It just proves how forgettable he is. National League, American League,

336
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: American League. I'm not putting you on a spot because

337
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: when you when I tell you, you're like, all hold on,

338
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: it proves to you.

339
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 3: Gunderson, No, I don't know, you know what.

340
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 5: I do want the projected to talk about him? You

341
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 5: want to?

342
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: I want to talk about if we have time today.

343
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: If not, you got to check us at our regular

344
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: time five to seven on the East tomorrow.

345
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 3: Don't tell me.

346
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 2: Hold on, I could top the top hitter rankings for

347
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 2: the WBC came out.

348
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 3: I could take thirty seconds.

349
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 5: To figure this out.

350
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: Sure, I named all I named the top four, all right,

351
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: Bobby Wood Jr. Soto and then I'm sure the top

352
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 2: two are Judge and Otani. You pick your poison.

353
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got.

354
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: I got an issue with how they ordered him. So

355
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 2: if we have time, I want to talk about it.

356
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: If not tomorrow, Yeah, who's the fifth Judge? O'tani? I

357
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: said he plays for Team USA Soto with junior Team

358
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: USAM USA stacked. By the way, And if you're not

359
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: pumped about the WBC, then you must not have watched

360
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: the last one because Japan won and ended with sho

361
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: Hey striking out Mike Trout just as a reminder that

362
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: it was so dope. I know it's not my boy,

363
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 2: Polar Bear Pete on the on the Orioles, Now you're

364
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 2: gonna hate yourself, come on Rich again. That he proves

365
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: how oh how ridiculous our conversations were last year, George Springer,

366
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: No I tour conversations.

367
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 5: You're back and forth. You're arguing on the air.

368
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: We thought about it for like months.

369
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 5: You took one side, but you were genuine about it.

370
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 5: But you were on the other side.

371
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: When he proves he's not in the conversation.

372
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 2: There.

373
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 5: It is your debate about that which.

374
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 3: Proves, yeah, he had a great season last year, but

375
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 3: was he really the MVP? Can I tell you no,

376
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 3: it's so far off my radar. That's man, I'm sorry,

377
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 3: great hitter. They have him ranked fifth.

378
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 4: Our year end special. Your guys' argument about that made

379
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 4: that special.

380
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: According to the WBC hitting rankings, not player rankings, hitter rankings,

381
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: he's fifth. And I'm not going to debate that guy

382
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: hits bombs?

383
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 3: Do you guys think that?

384
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, in twenty twenty seven, we're going to see a

385
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: delay to the baseball season.

386
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 3: You think they'll you think.

387
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: That's that's I guess the core of this, even though

388
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: people want to talk about the scandalous part of it,

389
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 2: well the scandal, the scandal's part makes you realize that

390
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: without Tony Clark, who's a big cog in this, in

391
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: this machine, he he's.

392
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 3: The rep right danergy, he's like the main dude.

393
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: So now and when the union and the players talk

394
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 2: to the owners, which is supposed to these negotiations are

395
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 2: supposed to start, like I don't like now almost did

396
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 2: you say a big conquer hog? Would you say, why

397
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: did they do interview the sister lull. I mean he's

398
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: walking around like it. Okay, I just hope baseball much

399
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 2: like the I was saying. You're a WNBA guy because

400
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: you're a Kitlin Clark fan. Sure you don't think it's

401
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 2: counterproductive if they don't get things figured out, like when

402
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: does that?

403
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 3: When does that supposed to start? Oh, it definitely puts

404
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 3: a dark cloud, overcast cloud over.

405
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to be the most counterproductive thing

406
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: for the momentum that baseball has right now, just like

407
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 2: the WNBA, like w n B A and I and

408
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: I hate. I'm again, I'm not trying to be mean.

409
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: If the w NBA stops playing, I feel like no

410
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: is ever gonna watch it again.

411
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 3: It might be the end of the league.

412
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: Because in my mind, it's like I mean, in my

413
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 2: in my mind like we were just starting to come

414
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: around to it. It's like w NBA is hot, We're

415
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: finally people get it, trying to sign network deals, doing everything.

416
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 2: If the w NBA stops playing, do you think people

417
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: are gonna go people stopped watching baseball during the strike

418
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: in ninety four, you think they're gonna go back to

419
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 2: the w NBA.

420
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 3: Get out of town.

421
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 2: Man, I feel bad for the expos fans, that was

422
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: their season. I feel bad for the WNBA if they

423
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 2: don't think. I feel good for is Paul on Ill

424
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 2: because he ended up with a batting title.

425
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 3: It doesn't even count.

426
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 5: It does count.

427
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 3: Ninety four?

428
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Tony Wasn't it Tony Gwynn that could

429
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: have batted four hundred and ninety four because he was

430
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 2: he was real hot around that time. Coulda should have,

431
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: would have. You don't want to deal with that kind

432
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 2: of headache again because of the timing of this Tony

433
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: Clark resignation. I just I just hope baseball figures it out.

434
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: But what say you, buddies? Do you think you think

435
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 2: baseball comes to some type of conclusion. It's almost like

436
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 2: Danny And by the way, doesn't it also remind you

437
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: not only are people a bunch of hornbags, right man?

438
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: That a bunch of horned Like he's apparently allegedly under

439
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: federal investigation because they use licensing money and equity money

440
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 2: for themselves. Like people are just scamming off I said

441
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 2: line for their own power. Name is Steven Sagall movie.

442
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: Did Tony Clark think he's above the laws? And now

443
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: he's under siege.

444
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: Aren't killed.

445
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: It's just like you can't trust anybody, man, man, you

446
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: think you think you know, you think you know someone.

447
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 2: I do think it would be so counterproductive. Do you think,

448
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: because they're so far apart guys, that we as fans

449
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 2: would be delusional to think there's an easy resolution. If

450
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 2: every player on Planet Earth is like, yeah, no, sellar

451
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 2: cap yep, ninety percent of the owners are like, no,

452
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: we should probably do some type of cap.

453
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: I think everyone thinks there should be a floor.

454
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

455
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 2: It becomes a debate, Danny g of you know our teams,

456
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: like the Dodgers ruining the game or are they just

457
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 2: better at business?

458
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 5: Right?

459
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: So it's just a matter of how you look at it.

460
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: And I am one of those guys that says, Yo,

461
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are just better at business.

462
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up. And I'll give

463
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 4: Collins some credit for this. I heard him talking about

464
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 4: it a couple of weeks ago, and I looked at

465
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 4: the numbers for myself.

466
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 5: This is what makes it complicated.

467
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 4: The Dodgers earned around seven hundred and fifty million dollars

468
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 4: last year. They spent seventy five percent of that profit

469
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 4: on their roster. The Yankees round the same amount of

470
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 4: earning seven hundred and thirty million for the season, they

471
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 4: spent around forty eight percent going into for their roster.

472
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 4: So yeah, they're going into this next season exactly. You

473
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 4: can't you can't tell owners exactly what to do with

474
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 4: their money. But a lot of this comes down to

475
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 4: who's really invested in putting that money back into their business, back.

476
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: Into their team.

477
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: You know, what sho heeo Tani did for the Dodgers

478
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 2: also helped them greatly, right, gave them a lot more

479
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: to play with.

480
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: Props to them. I'm not one of those guys hating

481
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 3: on that.

482
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: I think they figure out of loophole that works, and

483
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: they're doing great business. They're not playing by different rules,

484
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: so that makes it fair, That makes it even an

485
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: even playing field. They're talking about a bunch of rich guys,

486
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 2: billionaire owners. Now feeling sorry, Now, can I give you

487

00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of times with negotiation and

489
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: contract stuff, whether it be free agency, arbitration, all these things,

490
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of fans just like, yeah,

513
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:35,480

00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: and he has wisdom, so he shares that wisdom with you.

577
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: Mike's Wednesday Words of wisdom. And if you could repeat

578
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: it word for word, that's all you gotta do. Repeat

579
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 2: it word for word, make it really difficult, verbatim as

580
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 2: they say, you win a prize, pack some mini nerve,

581
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: Football's koozies, the whole deal, all right, it's simple. The

582
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 2: numbers eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. So we

583
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: got lots to get to. But you promised Cliff's notes, Yeah,

584
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: I said, I would give you the the one minute

585
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: rundown of where the big discrepancy with salary cap, salary floor,

586
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: baseball players and baseball owners, and where all this is

587
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: going to lead to with or without Tony Clark. And

588
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: now without Tony Clark, who, as we said, is the

589
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: big story on a slow spot. That's what we're having

590
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 2: a lot of fun talking about other stuff. The big

591
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: story is Tony Clark having an affair with his sister

592
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 2: in law, perhaps skimming money, allegedly equity to enrich themselves.

593
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: To me, sounds like taking money, right, That's right? I mean, yes,

594
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 2: that's just the fancy way of saying it.

595
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 5: I guess.

596
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: So while Rich prepares his cliffs notes to catch you up,

597
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: I own to remind you that we're laughing the Fox

598
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: Sports Radio studio and for over forty years, ty Iraq

599
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 2: has been helping customers find the right tires for how,

600
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 2: what and where they drive, ship fast and free back

601
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like

602
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 2: mobile tire installation tire Iraq tyraq dot Comy tire buying

603
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: should be okay, remember when you were in school and

604
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: they're like, all right, who read chapter four last night,

605
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, no, don't.

606
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: Call on me, don't call on me. But I was,

607
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 3: and I was like, no, speak angly.

608
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 2: I was always ready with my cliffs notes. So let

609
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: me give you the breakdown quick. Here's what's happening December one,

610
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. Between now and then, the players, owners,

611
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: everyone needs to come to an agreement of how baseball

612
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: will proceed in twenty twenty seven.

613
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: We could see a work stoppage, a strike, holdout, a lockout.

614
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: And the unfortunate part of that is we've seen it

615
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: before in ninety four, and momentum is on baseball's side.

616
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: Baseball has been great in the past few years, so

617
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: this would be really bad timing.

618
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 3: Unfortunately.

619
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: How many people back then said, you know what left

620
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: a bad taste in my mouth, and it took them

621
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: forever to come back to baseball. And you could argue

622
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: in the last decade those people are back. You know,

623
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: fool me once, can't get fooled again. Don't do this again, baseball.

624
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 2: We saw what happened in ninety four. A lot of

625
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: people are like, f baseball greed money, These guys are rich.

626
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 2: No one wants to see an NBA an NFL, AN, MLB, NHL.

627
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: No one wants to see a professional lockout because the

628
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: perception with fans is that these guys.

629
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 3: Are rich, stop at play.

630
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: And what makes it worse again is the Tony Clark

631
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: resignation and the controversy surrounding him. So here's where the

632
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: big discrepancy happens. When you look forward in baseball, people

633
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: love to say, oh, the Dodgers and teams like that,

634
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 2: the Mets, Yankees, Phillies, the Blue Jays now are ruining baseball?

635
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 2: Are they ruining baseball by spending so much money and

636
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: not allowing teams like the Pirates and you know, the

637
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 2: A's and the Royals to compete.

638
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. There's no salary cap. Again, I'm giving

639
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 3: you cliff notes. This is for the casual. I don't

640
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 3: get it.

641
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: There's no salary cap, meaning, unlike basketball and football, one

642
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: team could spend the bazillion dollars on their payroll and

643
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 2: some other team could spend ten million dollars. There's no limit,

644
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: there's no ceiling, there's no basement. Well, what happened if

645
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: like a Turkey Ali chic wanted to get involved in baseball?

646
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 3: I've thought about that with college. What putting that out there? No,

647
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: because think about it, that would be yeah, that would

648
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 3: be the problem.

649
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 5: Right.

650
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 3: It would take another guy to be like, Okay, I

651
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 3: buy millions.

652
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: I've heard people speculate what if what if some rich

653
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 2: guy with an endless cash supplayer Sam forget pros.

654
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 3: What if he took the weakest ass college of all time?

655
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: It was like anil money out the ass where they

656
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: just they got every elite college athlete and all of

657
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: a sudden, like some weakass school.

658
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 7: Buys the Iowa Hawkeyes and they win the national championship

659
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 7: every year.

660
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 2: That's the issue, right, No, no cap, no basement. And

661
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: now people are saying there should be a basement and

662
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: there should be a cap. People are now saying.

663
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 3: There's no basement in the Alamo and in MLB.

664
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're saying maybe there should be a minimum

665
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: team spend and a maximum team spend that is a

666
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: salary cap and a salary basement. Here's the thirty second rundown.

667
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: Forty eight percent of net local revenue is put into

668
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 2: a pot. So whatever deals the Dodgers have with TV

669
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 2: and radio deals, ticket sales, local sponsorships, stadium revenue is

670
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: put into a pot forty eight percent of it. Forty

671
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 2: eight percent of the Pittsburgh Pirates put in the pot, Mets, Dodgers, Cardinals, Brewers, Rays, you.

672
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 3: Name the team.

673
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,479
Speaker 2: Forty eight percent of the net local stuff is put

674
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 2: in a big pot and then divided equally by thirty.

675
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: So there are teams like the Dodgers and the Mets

676
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 2: and the Phillies Yankees that end up having to pay. Now,

677
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: if you go over the salary cap, there's even more

678
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: of a penalty because you have to pay a luxury tax,

679
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: an additional tax. The smaller market teams will get a

680
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 2: check for their portion, where teams like your Yankees will

681
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 2: have to pay. A team like the Pirates could be like, hey,

682
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 2: here's one hundred million dollars check. Yankees might have to

683
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 2: pay that that's not good enough because they're saying these

684
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: local deals and that's forty eight percent. They're saying it's

685
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: just not enough. Local small market teams can't compete. Now

686
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 2: the luxury tax then sell the team. Luxury tax Turkey

687
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 2: only penalizes teams that exceed a certain payroll threshold. It

688
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: doesn't prevent teams from spending. Now, a team like the

689
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: Dodgers could say we'll pay show hey Otani, We'll pay

690
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 2: show hey o Tani a billion dollars. We'll make the

691
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 2: money in fans around the world, in Japan, merchandise, everything,

692
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: So they'll say, yeah, please remember he deferred his money.

693
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: He's getting two million a year, right, two million a

694
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: year for the best player in baseball. That rule applies

695
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: to everyone in MLB. It's about getting the right player

696
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 2: that's willing to do that for your team. They're saying

697
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 2: small good business, saying small market teams, even if they

698
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 2: reach that tax line, it's a stretch. Local TV revenue

699
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: is the real divider here. Okay, here's what they're saying.

700
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Yankees TV deals like the Yes Network in

701
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 2: New York or Danny g What are the Dodgers play

702
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: out on here?

703
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: What's the local spectrum?

704
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 5: Right?

705
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: They're saying those TV deals are worth hundreds of millions

706
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: of dollars a year, where it's not even close for

707
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: like the local Royals TV deal, So you may rev

708
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: share it and put that money in a pot, but

709
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: it's still substantial. Teams like the Rays and Pirates are

710
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 2: a fractioned of that. Big market teams have an easier

711
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: time retaining star athletes. But again, that's good business. The

712
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 2: S network was owned by the Yankees Entertainment Sports Network.

713
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 3: They're saying with that for.

714
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: Net local rev and the way it's set up now

715
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 2: with the luxury tax for the high spending teams is

716
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 2: not even close to erasing the gap. They're saying, it

717
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 2: reduces it just a little bit. I know. The answer

718
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 2: I think always is, well, if you're going to be

719
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 2: a billionaire and own a team, don't buy a team

720
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 2: if you're not willing to spend. But they're saying, it's

721
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 2: just an uncompetitive advantage for a team like the New

722
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 2: York Yankees versus a team like the Pittsburgh You know what,

723
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: and here's what happens. Let's say there is a cap,

724
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: a salary cap in baseball. It's going to change baseball

725
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 2: as we know it. That's that's the crazy part about it.

726
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: But you know what, we fear change, and you know what,

727
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 2: life goes on and fight end up being fine. And

728
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 2: you know, we talked about it recently. Anytime there's a.

729
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: Change like oh no, I'm gonna hate it.

730
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: The new iPhone update. No new iPhone update, they just

731
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 2: give you two more notes and then and then we

732
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: can move on. But it's fun to break this stuff

733
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: down because I think a lot of us forget why

734
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 2: this is even happening.

735
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 4: Right, you brought you brought up the Pirates really quick though,

736
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 4: rich and you've used them as an example before. And

737
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 4: obviously they make one hundred of millions less than the Dodgers,

738
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 4: the Yankees, the Mets. But guess how much approximately as

739
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 4: percentage wise, they spent on their payroll last season? How

740
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 4: much I told you Dodgers what seventy almost seventy five

741
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 4: percent of profits, Yankees almost forty nine percent, twenty six percent.

742
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what That's what the Pirates spent on their roster.

743
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 3: Damn. So so no wonder you can't keep a pulp scheme.

744
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 4: No, it's almost like, yeah, you'd have to almost put

745
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 4: You can't put all your revenue, all your earnings.

746
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 3: But you got to put money back into your own business. Sometimes.

747
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: Here's what they're saying, Danny though. They're saying that star

748
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 2: retention is harder in a small market. They're saying the

749
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 2: cycle of develop star compete briefly at a high level,

750
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 2: then those big stars leave is the repeat cycle These

751
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 2: small market teams are on plus risk tolerance. They're saying

752
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 2: the Yankees or the Mets or Dodgers are a big

753
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 2: market team could absorb a real ass contract like if,

754
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 2: like for the Angels, Rendon doesn't work out, no skin

755
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: off the Angels back. They're in La California market team

756
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 2: where if a small market team has a star bust,

757
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 2: it could ruin that franchise for years. So what the

758
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 2: solution is, Hey, that's above my pay grade. But these

759
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: are the reasons why baseball's in big trouble because it

760
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 2: seems like the players are like, yeah, not our problem.

761
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: We want to get paid and play, and the owners

762
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 2: are like, we want to cap, and the player like no, no, no, no, no, no,

763
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 2: we want to If anything, the players want a floor,

764
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 2: meaning like even the bunk bottom level team should have

765
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 2: to spend a certain amount of money like the A's

766
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 2: wasn't did there something like like Juan Soto or like

767
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 2: you know, Darren Judge, are certain guys were making more

768
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 2: than the whole roster? Oh yeah of like the A's,

769
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. But the problem is too the MLB

770
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: should have done this like thirty years ago. They really

771
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 2: should have. Well, we'll see what happens. That's the issue.

772
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: That's that's your breakdown, your thoughts. We'll take your feedback. Next,

773
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: we'll have some more funn we'll talk about and if

774
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: Tony Clark timing noo. Yeah, that not a good time

775
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 2: to sleep at your sister's wife's sister. There you go, right,

776
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 2: we got more Cavino rich next. Fox Sports Radio in

00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,160

810
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 2: God, you said Manny Mchatto, Danny, Not just because he's

811
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 2: a Padre and you're a Dodgers fan. We're talking about

812
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 2: the salary caps and how baseball could be, you know,

813
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 2: in store for a letdown after the season.

814
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 3: Enjoy the twenty twenty sixth season. As Billy Madison would.

815
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 2: Say, stay here as long as you can, because you

816
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: know we may not come up with a deal with

817
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 2: the players, the union and the owners because Tony Clark's

818
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 2: out now.

819
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 3: And he also said sun tanned lotion good for me.

820
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 2: He did say that. He did say pro tech me

821
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 2: also say chlorofill more like Mori Phil. Then he said

822
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 2: shampoo is better anyway. Manny Machatta with the punchable face, Machado,

823
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 2: who's a Padre. And the Padres have backed off their owner,

824
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 2: who I believe passed away, right, didn't Padre's own There

825
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 2: was like a dude run and everything. Well, they're still

826
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 2: in it to win it, Padre spend money. Machado says

827
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: he is in love what the Dodgers are doing. He said,

828
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 2: I f and love it. Every team should be doing it.

829
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: S is f and great for the game. I think

830
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 2: every team has the ability to do it.

831
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 3: They just don't.

832
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 2: That's what I said before. It's not like the Dodgers

833
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 2: are playing by different rules, the same rules for everybody.

834
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 2: So what did we learn, guys? Here's what we learned

835
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 2: thanks to Tony Clark. If you're going to sleep with

836
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 2: your wife's sister, don't do it in the middle of

837
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: a big negotiation. Right, isn't that the moral of the story.

838
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 2: Of course, don't sleep with your sister. I mean you're

839
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 2: what I say last hour, Sam, he said, some gibberish,

840
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 2: I miss folk. Yeah, people are like I heard this

841
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 2: guy on the radio talking about sleeping with his sister.

842
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 2: What not a good time to sleep with your sister's

843
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: wife's sister. There you go, Well, don't sleep with your

844
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 2: your wife's sister. Don't see me your sister. And we

845
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 2: also learned that it's worse. Let's set your stepsister and

846
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 2: that's the category you like. As far as sleeping with

847
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: your sister in law, we discovered that it's worse to

848
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 2: sleep with your brother's wife than it is your wife's sister,

849
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 2: because it's double betrayed. It's double the trouble. Yeah, you

850
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 2: follow that you betrayed your brother and your wife. I

851
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: guess if you sleep at your wife's sister, you just

852
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: betraying your wife. If you sleep with your brother's wife,

853
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: you're betraying your wife and your brother.

854
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 5: It's home wrecking, and it's work wrecking.

855
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 2: And by the way, Tipping Company, Inc. And let's keep

856
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 2: our fingers crossed for baseball. Yeah, let's go baseball. Love

00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 2: Dan and the dan Nets.
