1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: You have to what's the worst case. What's the worst

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: that happened. If he doesn't get.

3
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 2: Traded, they put him on the aisle and he doesn't pitch.

4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 3: They're not gonna avoid this contract. They're not gonna nothing's

5
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 3: gonna happen.

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: Vegas, Baby, Welcome everyone. It is Ft from Vegas. We're

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: playing a little poker tournament.

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 3: Later.

9
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm actually broadcasting it. We'll have a live stream.

10
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: You must really suck it.

11
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: No, I didn't play major league baseball. I don't know

12
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: if you, so.

13
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: I figured you would figure out a way to get

14
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: into the I.

15
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: Ever acted like I played major league baseball.

16
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: I actually feel like you nicknamed yourself the other day, Braun.

17
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't even remember that anyway, real poker player down there,

18
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: how you feeling? Yeah, he does. I don't doubt this

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: is part of his gimmick.

20
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: Though. My gimmick is.

21
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 4: Flying to Vegas and we have a two thirty three

22
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,280

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 4: so I'm kind of angry. I'm kind of tired, and

25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 4: I'm kind of gonna kick everyone's.

26
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 3: Three hours of sleep is a Tuesday for Scott three hours.

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: I wish I would have got three hours of sleep.

28
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: I woke up at five am actually, which is really

29
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: eight am.

30
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: That's nice. Don't do that. Don't do that, you can't

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: go true. I was up at three hours. I can't

32
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: stand when people do that.

33
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: Boat ci.

34
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a different it's actually eight o'clock. It really no,

35
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: it's actually five. Yeah, it's five. It's actually five, and

36
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: you don't get jet leg the.

37
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: First time I've woken up at five in a while. Anyway.

38
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: The one thing I would do want to tell everyone

39
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: is we will have a lot more bonus content for

40
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,760

00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: but we'll have a ton of former players joining us

00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: over the next couple of days on this show and

44
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: then also on this live stream. It's kind of like

45
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: watching World Series of Poker and you get to know

46
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: the cards on the screen and the guy's all playing.

47
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: We did this a few months ago, but we'll have

48
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: it on the FT YouTube channel, So more info coming

49
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: soon on that. While Aj is angry, I have the

50
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: perfect article that just came out for him. Let's charge

51
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: talk about the war is on between Commissioner Rob Manfred

52
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: and the players. The war is officially on. It had

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: been brewing for a while. An article came out this

54
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: morning from Evandrelik in The Athletic documenting what Manfred told

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: some investors. I think for a Braves call, that part

56
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's public info since he spoke to people

57
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: about it and it's not off the record. He just

58
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: basically laid out he knew anyone could watch right right,

59
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying, so it's public records. I'm saying it was

60
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: in an investor call, but it's public. He basically laid

61
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: out his plan for how he's trying to take players down. Period.

62
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: He laid out his plan for everyone that he had

63
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: been talking to players over a three year span, and

64
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: each year he gets a little bit more aggressive and

65
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: tries to tell them how they have significantly lowered the

66
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: percentage of how much money they make, how much they

67
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: share in profit right with Major League Baseball or revenue

68
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: forty seven percent on players. It used to be sixty

69
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: three percent the first deal when Manford was chief negotiator

70
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two. So after punching them all

71
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: the way down to forty seven percent. His hey, let's

72
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: be friends tour is listen to me on everything, and

73
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: I will lead you to more money. How did I paraphrase?

74
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: Pretty close?

75
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: Spot on?

76
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: Why isn't his job to get more money for the owners?

77
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: He works for the owners?

78
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: Correct, But he's telling players, let me help, help me help.

79
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 4: Numbers can't be right, then, that's what Tony Clark responded

80
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 4: with them, the numbers are not right, because why would

81
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 4: he tell everybody publicly? This is also why he has

82
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 4: certain ex players on his staff now to be able

83
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 4: to talk directly to players and get them to come

84
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 4: over to his side.

85
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: So, I don't know, this is going to be bad.

86
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: This is not a good way to start negotiations when

87
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: everyone already is expecting a lockout or a strike or something.

88
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: Company And how do most players perceive him.

89
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 3: Like the enemy, like somebody that's not to be trusted.

90
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 3: I mean he said tells players they've lost billions. He

91
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: should have said they've stolen billions from him, well from

92
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: the players.

93
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: If they lost billions, how did that happen?

94
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 5: Right?

95
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: He didn't say, oh, like we've lost that money as

96
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: a sport. He's saying we've captured more of that as

97
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: an ownership group and as a league. So if he's

98
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: saying that, whose job is to do that?

99
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 4: But what he's saying is is the owners are being

100
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: cheap and they're not spending what they're supposed to spend.

101
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 4: That's what the players argument is going to be, like,

102
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 4: we'll tell your owners to spend more. We don't need

103
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 4: a salary cap to tell your owners to spend more.

104
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 4: Then he's going to go back and say, we'll give

105
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: you if you give us a cap, we'll give you

106
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 4: a floor to make it like other sports, the NFL, NBA,

107
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 4: they all have a cap, but they also have a floor.

108
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: And then player associations would say, why don't we just

109
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: spend more? And then and if I'm Tony Clerk, I'm

110
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 4: going with the teams to spend get the big attendances

111
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 4: and they win usually, So if you would tell the

112
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 4: guys that don't spend.

113
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: Also, if you want to make more.

114
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: Also, the owners can share money however not however they want.

115
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: It gets bargained. But if they feel like there's a

116
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: disparity and team bottom feeder needs more money, that gets

117
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: negotiated with revenue sharing.

118
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: YEP.

119
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: So that's their choice. They can present that to the

120
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: union and say, hey, we would like to give the

121
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: Guardians an extra thirty million bucks a year from the

122
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: top three teams whatever. Right, I'm paraphrasing here on a

123
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: much more complex issue, and they would say, great, you're

124
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: giving them more money. Cool?

125
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Okay, they can totally do that. But he's

126
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: talking about the money that is split between players and

127
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: owners has gone down. It's directly from him. Correct, He's

128
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: the one that's doing this. And you're talking about like

129
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: a guy. You're talking about like money that if you're

130
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: truly trying to create a relationship. That is what he says, Hey,

131
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: trust me. You can't start off of trust a relationship

132
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: build on trust with a dude that's like, actually, I've

133
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 3: been swindling you since what did he say, two thousand

134
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: and two the first time he was part of a negotiation.

135
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: That's who you want to trust start a relationship off

136
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: on like I know, I haven't really trusted this guy

137
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 3: because of the things he's done to us with our money,

138
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 3: but I think now would be the time.

139
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: All Right, Harry's is going to get an award here

140
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: MVP in the shaving world and aj if you want

141
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: to equate it to things that we talk about. It's

142
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 1: not expensive and it's super versatile right the company itself,

143
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: because there's other products that you can get on the

144
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: site doodorate, body wash, et cetera. But for your everyday

145
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: shaving needs, Harry's has you covered. And you look at

146
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: the pricing, you look at the quality, and you're like, wait,

147
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: why was that using the old classic brand for a

148
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: long time.

149
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 4: Listen as somebody right now that needs a Harry's. I've

150
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 4: just been lazy. Harry's. I have plenty of them lined

151
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: up or need to use. You can use them for

152
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 4: more than one shave, which is huge for me, and

153
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 4: the pricing is right. I gotta go get my Harries

154
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: because my neck beard is sick. But Harry's will fix that.

155
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 4: It'll line me up straight in no bumps, no cuts.

156
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: It's exactly what I need for a great price.

157
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:23,240

Speaker 1: fowl for a six dollars trial set.

163
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. You use the Guardians as an example.

164
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 4: Right, just because they give the Guardians thirty million, doesn't

165
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 4: mean they have to spend it on anything other than

166
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 4: going to the owner's pocket. That's that was the big

167
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 4: great with Oakland for years and other teams Miami Islands, yep.

168
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: Where they say, oh, Pittsburgh, Oh they're getting forty to

169
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 4: fifty million a year and that's just going in the

170
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: owner's pocket because they're not respending it back into team.

171
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: Well, they say, we're spending it on the team, doesn't

172
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: get directed towards the Pirates, right.

173
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: The Pirates. The Pirates are the perfect example. They they

174
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: had a I saw it because I was on the

175
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: Players Association. I saw the proposal that they gave to

176
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: the Players Association of why the money that they're receiving

177
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: isn't being allocated into into their big league payroll, it's

178
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: being allocated into their team. And they were building up assets.

179
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: They redid Pirate City down in down In Florida.

180
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: While they improved real estate basically.

181
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: Essentially improved real estate, which has their you know, that's

182
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 3: an asset that improved. They built a pirate City down

183
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: in the dr to improve their Dominican Republic slash Venezuela

184
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: and slash Latin American footprint. To grow the team. And

185
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: that's how they're going to grow their team, all assets.

186
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: That's like said, Yeah, frustrating, it's very frustrating.

187
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a wild article to read. How aggressive

188
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: if it just became with some of what he said.

189
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 4: Right, you don't see with the CBA fight looming, you

190
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 4: don't usually see one side or the other jump out

191
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 4: this big this early, right, I mean Rob, Rob must

192
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 4: think that he's got the goods on people. You know,

193
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 4: it's gonna be fun at the All Star Game this

194
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 4: year when because he normally shows up at the players party, is.

195
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: He going to show up at the players No doubt.

196
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: They'll show up and play it all cordial. It's like

197
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: watching some some fancy schmancy show.

198
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: I get them to commit on the show again and

199
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: coming on.

200
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: Correct, he said, I'm in. We went deep into scheduling

201
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: and then he.

202
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: Was out through seven hundred hoops.

203
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you should trust him. How does a player

204
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: react a in a meeting like that? Because we've heard

205
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: about these meetings for the last few years where he

206
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: rolls in and basically just spits as much game as

207
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: possible about how following anything he says will cure all.

208
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: Also as if we have like this massive, massive issue,

209
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: like the sport is dying. Right, He comes in with

210
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: tons of negativity and then b he tells the public

211
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: about his plan and how he's trying to play them

212
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: like a fiddle. How do players react to this? Are players,

213
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, does he think players are

214
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: this stupid? That's how I want to put it.

215
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 3: There are some players who are that disengaged that he

216
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 3: believes that this will work. Okay. He believes that there

217
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: is a discord, there's disconnect from the upper level earners

218
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 3: and the lower level earners. And I would agree that

219
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: there's always factions. There's you know, in some of the

220
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 3: other labor strife, there was black players, Latin players, white players.

221
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: Now there's high big earners, little earners, rookies, and now

222
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: it's you know, Latin American player, whatever it is, there's factions.

223
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: And if he feels like he can split those factions

224
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: like last year or I mean last CBA, they voted essentially,

225
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: the executive board voted, no, we don't want to exit this.

226
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: He saw it as a bunch of one hundred million

227
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: dollar players that said, no, we don't, we don't want

228
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 3: to accept this. And so he's to me, he's attacking

229
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 3: the disengaged player. He feels a disengaged player or the

230
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: uninformed player are the younger players, which really is eighty

231
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: five percent.

232
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: Of the league.

233
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: And he's going, Okay, well I can get you guys

234
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: more money. Well, if you're making a million dollars and

235
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: he can get you twenty thousand extra, oh okay, well listen. So,

236
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 3: in my opinion, the union has to make sure they're

237
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: informing and engaging those younger players. Oh wait, they brought

238
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: the minor league players into the union already, so they've

239
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: been engaging those guys. You're in the minor leagues, you're

240
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 3: starting to hear that stuff. How that goes across, I

241
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 3: don't know.

242
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 4: That is the one thing though, I know we have

243
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 4: to other break but this is the one thing in

244
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 4: this article that I found interesting that he admitted that

245
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 4: only the top players get paid, because.

246
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 2: That's been something I've talked about for years. There's no

247
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: middle class.

248
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 4: If you're either really good good you get paid a lot,

249
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: or there's a young guy in a rookie or you're

250
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 4: a non roster invite guy, so you have like six

251
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 4: to seven years of big league service time, you can't

252
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 4: get a job because they'd rather pay the seventy eight

253
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 4: hundred thousand to the rookie for a bench guy when

254
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 4: the bench guy's more valuable.

255
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: But who created that? Both sides did, right.

256
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 4: Both sides did because they, oh, look at these huge

257
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 4: top salaries Wan Soto show, Hey, Vlad Guerrero, right, but

258
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 4: they don't look at the guy that was that's a

259
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 4: good player that could help a team, you know, the

260
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 4: three four five million dollars, like, oh for that five million.

261
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 4: Because of the GMS and the way they spit numbers out,

262
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 4: they're like, we can get a rookie that are almost

263
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: as good, almost as good, but nobody's going to really

264
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 4: notice the difference.

265
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: Projected one point one war versus one point three war.

266
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: These are the conversation if you.

267
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 4: Look at But if you look at the teams that

268
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: are good, they're the teams that have those veteran guys.

269
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 4: Obviously they usually have more money, but those are the

270
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 4: teams that have those veteran The Dodgers, right, they have

271
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 4: they have the key key Hernandez type of guy that

272
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 4: can play different positions, it bounce around, right and who another.

273
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: I mean the Braves when they won, right, they brought

274
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 4: in those all those outfielders to do specific roles that

275
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 4: were a little bit older, but they'd filled roles. You

276
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 4: need those guys because you can't just throw rookies out

277
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: there and say, oh, fill in or pinchitty what well,

278
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 4: they've never done it.

279
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: Oh no, that you can't. You can't. We're just gonna

280
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: keep doing it because it really doesn't matter to them

281
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: to win that. Ultimately, you want to you want to

282
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: come onto the player's side with the CBA, like you

283
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 3: want to help the players figure out how to get

284
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: all thirty teams to think the same way the players do.

285
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: It's to win. I was never gonna get won Soto's money.

286
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 3: I was probably not going to be in the minor

287
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: leagues my whole career. So somewhere and there is my earnings.

288
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: It is what it is. I wanted to win. Players

289
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: want to win. Owners want to make money.

290
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: That's right, right, there's some that want to win.

291
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 3: That's where the negotiation needs to start. If you want

292
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 3: to really get on the players side learn what it

293
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: means to want to win.

294
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, but also I mean I would be firing back

295
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: if I'm in the clubhouse and the commissioners talk, It'd

296
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: be like, why don't you guys figure out sharing the

297
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: money yourself instead of trying to suppress salaries for twenty

298
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: five years and get us to hate each other. That's

299
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: essentially what he just said. I've been trying to bash

300
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: you down, and now you should let me lead you

301
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: to another place that will bash you down further, right,

302
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: Because also keep in mind the game is changing. A

303
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: lot of this is shifting to real estate being the

304
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: real profitability of the team. How much is that going

305
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: to be shared? None?

306
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 3: Exactly?

307
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: What chan a brain dead claim?

308
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 4: How are you going to get I know we got

309
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 4: to go, but Rob Manford, how are you going to

310
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: get the Yankees? You have Yes Network, Cubs have Marquis Red,

311
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 4: Sox have Nessing, Dodgers have sports at LA. Are you

312
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 4: going to get them to give that up and say, oh,

313
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 4: we're gonna go into a centralized TV deal where we're

314
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 4: all gonna split it When way more people watch the Dodgers,

315
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 4: the Cubs, the Mets take.

316
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: It a step further half the teams on tons of

317
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: real estate all around, and none of that is going

318
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: to go into this. You can't even quantify that. You're

319
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,360

321
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,920

00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: He takes like really really hard shots at the players

326
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,080

330
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: to me, that's a failure on our part. So what

369
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 4: it's fun banter.

370
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: But it was.

371
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: Twins also are a team that so I think should sell.

372
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: So right, they're not catching the Tigers.

373
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: They're not sorry, they're starting pitching crumbled this month over.

374
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 4: If they don't, If they don't sell, I mean they're

375
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 4: gonna basically run the same team back again next year.

376
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: It hasn't proven right for the last two years.

377
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: Time to switch things up. This is the time right

378
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: where the buyers.

379
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 4: It's a seller's market if you get the right if

380
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 4: he has the right pieces, yeah, I mean some stuff

381
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 4: for some guys.

382
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: There's a few, including obviously Duran who still has years left.

383
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: Jackson Jackson jack They were willing to move one of

384
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 2: their starters. They could get some stuff too.

385
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this could be that kind of time. Can

386
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: we show this graphic of James Wood and Taoscar Hernandez.

387
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: Obviously you have the crowd out there that's disappointed with

388
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: how some of the voting went with the All Star process,

389
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: and James Wood is having a year. Also, yesterday he

390
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: got intentionally walked four times, getting the Barry Bonds treatment.

391
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: He's got better numbers than to Ascar Hernandez. Tayo had

392
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: a big season last year with the Dodgers, part of

393
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: the World Series winning team. You're gonna get out voted on.

394
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: There's a problem.

395
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 4: Don't get mad at the All Star voting because it

396
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 4: comes down to fans, and the fans have to vote

397
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 4: more people, sorry to say it, pay attention to the

398
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 4: Dodgers and what Tayo did last last year than what

399
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 4: James will just done. Now, James Wood's gonna go out

400
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 4: in a great career. But here's the thing, he'll get

401
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 4: in who eventually get in. But here's the thing with Tayo,

402
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: He's also the All Star Game is also a reward

403
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 4: for sometimes what you did last year. It doesn't There

404
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 4: are many times where guys got into the Ulstar Game

405
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 4: of starters voted in because they had a good year

406
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 4: of the year before and had nothing to do with

407
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 4: the year they're having that year.

408
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: The Star Game to me is they're like, oh, you're

409
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 2: a seven time. Also we're like, eh, I mean it's cool.

410
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 4: But also there are times where certain guys should have

411
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 4: got in and other guys got in.

412
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: It all the time, all the time. Every year we

413
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: talk about snubs or a guy that should have made

414
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: it and didn't. I mean, Francisco Lindor has finished what

415
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: top five MVP years. He's had great years the last

416
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: few years with the Mets, and I think this will

417
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: be the first year that he gets in with them, which, hey,

418
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: it is what it is. But also there's a popularity

419
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: contest to it. People know they don't know James Wood exactly.

420
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

421
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: Year spreading rumors were about a month away from the

422
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: trade deadline and we might add Luis Severino's name to

423
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: the list for a ball club. It's complicated, but USA

424
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: today is Bob Nightingale essentially that the A's cannot wait

425
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: to trade him. Months after signing him, they cannot wait

426
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: to trade him. And Luis has been very vocal, very

427
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: transparent about how he does not like organization in the

428
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: way that the setup is. He went from the bougie

429
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: Mets to the minor league ballpark A's and he knew it.

430
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: He signed a three year, sixty seven million dollar contract.

431
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: He's got a player option on that third year, so

432
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: he was well aware of what he was getting himself into.

433
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 4: No, I don't think he was. No, I think you're

434
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 4: wrong about well. I think really I didn't think he

435
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 4: thought it would be just bad. I thought, I don't.

436
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't even know if he took a

437
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 4: visit there before he signed. He did they well, they

438
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 4: did at Cutterfield that he did his press conference.

439
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he'd already agreed by that point.

440
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, flunk your own physical to get out

441
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: of it.

442
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, though, what he says, though, it's

443
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: not the same. We don't have a lot of fans,

444
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 2: which they don't. They're not drawing.

445
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: Neither did Oakland Fair for that big at.

446
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 4: Least was a big stadium, and it felt like a

447
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 4: big league park, right, and then you go our clubhouses

448
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 4: in left field, which is a pain in the ass.

449
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 2: People can say, oh, it's a big leagues. It's a

450
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 2: pain in the ass.

451
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 4: Players go in the clubhouse all the time, trust me,

452
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 4: especially pitchers. Pitchers go up there and sit in.

453
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: The air conditioning between innings and do things.

454
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 4: And players go up there all the time, and so

455
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 4: don't give me. The players sit and dug out, some

456
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 4: players sitting and dug out more than others.

457
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 2: Okay. And then the other thing is.

458
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 4: Sacramento is getting played on every single day when they

459
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 4: go on the road. The A's go on the road,

460
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 4: the Giants, Triple A comes into place, the field is

461
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 4: getting beat up. How many pitchers have complained about the mound.

462
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 4: It's just it's a minor league park. I'm sorry. And

463
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 4: the difference of people say what about Steinbreder that's the

464
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 4: Yankees park, the Yankees versus the Athletics and even the

465
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 4: Giants to an extent, and Triple A are gonna spend

466
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 4: more money to make Steinbrender field because the Yankees want

467
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 4: the best of the best. So Savarino played for the

468
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 4: Yankees in Steinbanner, he knows what it's like. Then he

469
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 4: played for the Mets. They're spending money on everything, and

470
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 4: then he goes to the A's that are like, eh,

471
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 4: we're gonna get by in Triple A.

472
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: For But nothing that you just said is something that

473
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: I was unaware of, and that.

474
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 3: But he didn't know it was going to be this bad.

475
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 3: You don't know the extent of it because we're talking

476
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 3: about little things that really make you. He never threw

477
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: a pitch. Nobody threw a pitch on that mound, which

478
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 3: has come out to say, Uh, Pablo probably hurt his arm.

479
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: Zach Wheeler said he had to throw all arm. You

480
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 3: didn't know that the air conditioning in the locker room

481
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 3: wasn't going to work. You didn't know what that walk

482
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 3: from left field is. Least Everena has been a big

483
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 3: leader for a long time to say you're going back

484
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 3: to a minor league field, How bad could it actually be? Like,

485
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: teams don't totally understand unless you talk to another player.

486
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: Players talk all the time. Hey, what's it like to

487
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: be with the Marlins? Well, you know what, we don't

488
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 3: have TV or air conditioning on our team plane. Here's

489
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 3: a picture of here's a picture of me and Yelli

490
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 3: sweating with our shirts off on the actual team flight

491
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 3: with Marlin. WHOA, I don't want to go there, but

492
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 3: we love this manager. Whatever he did not know. You

493
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: can't know the little things that make one hundred and

494
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 3: sixty two games a grind, that make every seven days

495
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 3: when you're like, we're going back home a grind. And clearly,

496
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 3: based on his numbers, he's feeling that, and the and

497
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 3: the A's want to trade him because they did. The

498
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 3: only reason they signed him was so they could get

499
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 3: to their mandatory minimum threshold. Yes they were. They were

500
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 3: told to spend the league's money, which they were given,

501
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: and they did, and they said, see we did it.

502
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: Now let's trade them. We'll go get another guy, and

503
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: we're just going to keep checking all our boxes until

504
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: we can sell the team when we move it to

505
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 3: Las Vegas.

506
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 4: Here's the thing you have to understand. Also, road teams

507
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 4: going there for three games, you can get through anything

508
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 4: for three days. I'm sorry, you can get through.

509
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 3: But they got it.

510
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 4: They know not only they're this year, they're their next

511
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 4: year and the year after that and maybe longer on

512
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 4: how construction goes. So it's a different grind. That's why

513
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 4: the raised situation is different. Again, they're only there for

514
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 4: one year. They're like, okay, we can get through this

515
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 4: one year. And again they have every I know Major

516
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 4: League Baseball tried to make Sacramento as good as they can,

517
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 4: but the Yankees have had this infrastructure in there for

518
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 4: years to make their place the best. And to be

519
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 4: honest with you, the Ras are still in their general

520
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 4: area of Tampa Bay, so they still get fit. They

521
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 4: they're for the size of that stadium. They packed that stadium.

522
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying that I feel

523
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: like it was pretty obvious Age overpaid to go somewhere.

524
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 4: Didn't know would be this bad. You can't little There's

525
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 4: an old thing in baseball. Little things equal big things, right,

526
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 4: So the more little things that get on his nerve

527
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 4: like oh the mound, this, the arens, just then it

528
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 4: turns into man, this place sucks, and then it turns

529
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 4: into this. You know, crowds like little things that up

530
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 4: to huge things.

531
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 3: You're there every day, every day for hours.

532
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: I actually think him speaking out is smart. If he

533
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: doesn't say anything, you kind of skate by and maybe

534
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't get dealt right. This gives first of all,

535
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: proof on the A side, if there's a grievance, they

536
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: can say this guy desperately wanted out. We have it

537
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: documented he essentially demanded the trade without demanding one. Right now,

538
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna get tricky. They're gonna have to eat some

539
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: money right now. I mean, the market wasn't going to

540
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: pay him at that level, So they're going to have

541
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: to eat some money to accomplish a trade. But he

542
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: could help some teams. I would trade for Luis Severino

543
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 1: with the work that he's put together on the road too,

544
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: Sign me up. So don't you think it's smart for

545
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: him to be a little vocal about it if he

546
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: is pissed, Yes, because then it does give him a

547
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: chance to get moved. If he doesn't say anything, he's

548
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: probably not going to get moved.

549
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 3: Right.

550
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: So there's a reputation portion of this where a lot

551
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: of people are looking at the case being like, dude,

552
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: stop whining. You got sixty seven million bucks to go

553
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: over there. But he's got nothing to lose by saying something, right,

554
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: you have to what's the worst case? What's the worst

555
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: that happens? He doesn't get traded, they put him on

556
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: the aisle and he doesn't pitch.

557
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 3: I mean, they're not gonna avoid his contract, They're not

558
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 3: gonna nothing's gonna happen, and he has enough of reputation

559
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 3: going into this a great dude, hard worker.

560
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: Mets would take him back, not for the same money,

561
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: though it won't be the same money, right you're saying

562
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: some money back. Matts could definitely use him, and I

563
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: think he would thrive there. Yankees, maybe plenty of teams

564
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: could use the Luis s Everinadris.

565
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 3: Said some things. He said some things.

566
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 2: Padres leaving the Yankees. He'd likes to talk. He's a

567
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: good guy. We've had him on our show in Arizona.

568
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: Guys should have been there.

569
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: Oh wait, Marcus Stroman said some things and he's on

570
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: the Yankees.

571
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 2: They can't move him.

572
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 1: No, no, no, even before he arrived. Before he arrived,

573
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: remember that he said something. It was him and Cashman

574
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: had some beef because.

575
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 3: He wasn't player. Savarino was a player on the Yankees.

576
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 3: Left and said, well, these guys are doing this differently.

577
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 3: So I'm not saying they won't take them. I'm saying

578
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 3: it's something to remember and think about.

579
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: Okay, Hey, this episode is sponsored by Hewle, so I'm

600
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: you guys see Max Kepler over the weekend voicing his

601
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: frustration about playing time. So you got a response from

602
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: Rob Thompson as well, talking about how you know, they

603
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: have played him a lot. But the case from Kepler

604
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: is that in the off season they told him he

605
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: would play every day, and after I'm exaggerating a little cratz,

606
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: but after like a week, they basically just said we're

607
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: platooning him and he's not going to hit against lefties.

608
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 3: He say, but he's not.

609
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: He's not playing well in general this year. He said

610
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: over the weekend, Hey, I'm not used to sitting like

611
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: this in my career. Should I go on?

612
00:28:59,480 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: Continue?

613
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: And he had a stretch coming up where he's sitting

614
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: four in a row stuff like that. He's like, I've

615
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: never done that. And I was told that I was

616
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: going to play every day, and now I'm getting platooned

617
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: pretty much from the jump of the season.

618
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 3: Hmmm. So not playing every day is tough. Don't go ahead, continue,

619
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 3: no doubt.

620
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: Not playing every day is tough from what I've heard.

621
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: But can we go back a step if if you

622
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: did tell a player, hey, come here, we're going to

623
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: play every day, we don't think you're a platoon player,

624
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: which actually, on the record, they did say over the

625
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: offseason we don't consider him a platoon player. We want

626
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: him to play every day.

627
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 2: But then your numbers are what your numbers are, and

628
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 2: they're like.

629
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 3: You know what, change your minds.

630
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: But the way they pivoted fast though, they they gave

631
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: him like a week, they gave him like three games,

632
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: and then they were like, nope, not hitting against them.

633
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 3: They want to win, they want to win the division.

634
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: I agree. I'm just stating his case, like should he

635
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: should he shut up?

636
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: He no, I would never tell somebody to shut up,

637
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 3: but I would tell somebody from.

638
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: What they told him and they recruited. Is I'm just

639
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: throwing the case out there. This is not my call.

640
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 3: Okay, he feels dupe, that's fair. You can say that.

641
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 3: You can say that, but he also knows that what

642
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: did you say two o seven two O seven eight

643
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 3: two o seven in it? You want that to go up,

644
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: or you want your playing time to go up? Make

645
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 3: that go up? Outo Kemp has historically hit lefties in

646
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 3: the minor leagues. Well, so their predisposed idea is, you

647
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: know what, We're gonna start moving him to left field.

648
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 3: See if you can stay when Harper comes back. Recently,

649
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 3: because Auto Kemp's been playing first base, there's a chance

650
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 3: Otto Kemp starts taking some of those lefty at bats.

651
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 3: This has been a struggle for the Phillies. Left field

652
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 3: slash center field is how to get offense consistently nine

653
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: in and nine out. And they were hoping Max Kepler

654
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 3: was gonna be that guy. But Max Kepler also has

655
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 3: to understand he came up with the Twins. He saw

656
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: guys with the Twins that get money. Just keep playing

657
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: the Phillies. You get money, that's just gonna keep throwing

658
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 3: you out there. They're gonna try to find somebody else

659
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 3: that's gonna do it. And maybe that means Rob Thompson

660
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 3: has to mix and match. It just hasn't It just

661
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 3: hasn't happened.

662
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't have a good track record against left handed pitching. Anyway,

663
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: it happens fast. What where they say, hey, we're plataining you.

664
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: Yes, especially in a big market and a team that

665
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 2: has other options. Guess what. It happens fast.

666
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 3: His argument would be a chance, But.

667
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 4: They let go back and look your track records. So

668
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 4: we're doing the same thing you've done your whole career.

669
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 4: It's not good enough. We thought you could help, you'd

670
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 4: be better, and you're not time to go.

671
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: But he's saying, we just had a conversation before I

672
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: signed where I chose to sign here. Obviously you got money,

673
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: but he's like, you told me I would play every day,

674
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: and I assume that if I can't hit lefties, I'm

675
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: gonna get sat eventually. But five minutes, how.

676
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: Soon happens fast.

677
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 3: Everybody gets some of Pete or nobody knows who pet

678
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 3: Or is Canadian Canadian, he said, everybody, and it was

679
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: a great quote. Everybody gets an opportunity. You just don't

680
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 3: know when your opportunity is. And everybody's opportunity is a

681
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: different size. Max Kepler's track record coming in, he didn't

682
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 3: hit lefties very well. You know what you have to do.

683
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 3: You have to smash lefties right away, and starting in

684
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 3: spring training. That's what I'm saying right away. I'm not

685
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 3: talking about like even if you're facing number ninety eight

686
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 3: as a left handed as a left handed batter is

687
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: a left handed pitcher in spring training, they're watching it.

688
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: The first impressions are tough, tough to kill when you

689
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 3: already have that predisposed idea coming in. This guy doesn't

690
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 3: hit left as well, okay, so he has to it.

691
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: It's a playoff team. He gets hot a couple games

692
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: against a lefty, he might find himself in there more.

693
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: They're looking for options. They're not saying you're not the option.

694
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 3: They're saying, we want somebody to step up.

695
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're on the phillies. They don't have time

696
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: to experiment that part. Get all right, people, let's slap

697
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: first off, same lit day here on FT. We've got

705
