1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: Lady and genuine avoiding her old moment, and then more

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: and more and welcome to Massa Territory, ladies and gentlemen.

3
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: We are a little late here tonight. I do apologize

4
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: about that. But better late than never, like they always say,

5
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: and listen, it is never too late to talk to

6
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 1: some rumors. We got some rumors and news going on

7
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: at the general manager meetings this past week so far,

8
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: over the last couple of days, you know, we've been

9
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: hearing a lot of things, more so needs that Craig

10
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: Breslow has been talking about here. Nothing new, nothing different

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: by any means from what we've heard up to this point.

12
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: He did talk about adding a middle of the order

13
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: bat maybe even too. He actually did touch on that

14
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: as well. He talked about starting pitching for the top

15
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: of the rotation what we've been hearing. But I'll give

16
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: you my thoughts on even though he may be repeating himself.

17
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: I'll give you my opinion on how I'm feeling about that.

18
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in just a little bit. But

19
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: also there's some news about Kyle Schwarber out there, Robert

20
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: Murray giving us the inside scoop. He is there. I

21
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: think he's still there. I'm not sure. But he had

22
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: a few things to say about Kyle Schorber and the

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Red Sox. I'll talk about that and just a little bit.

24
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Craig Breslo also talked about a potential maybe when it

25
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: comes to dealing from the surplus when it comes to

26
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: the outfield. He was kind of didn't really give you

27
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: a definitive answer. He was kind of bouncing around back

28
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: and forth. And that's what Craig usually does anyway, when

29
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: it comes to, you know, giving you a straight answer.

30
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: I actually feel like he's been giving you a couple

31
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: of straight answers here the last couple of days. But

32
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: he did dance around this one. I'll give you that

33
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: comment and a little bit. We also got something on

34
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan. He is a target for the Red Sox

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: this offseason. But the president of baseball Operations of the Twins,

36
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Derek Falvey, he did touch on Joe Ryan. Give you

37
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: my thoughts on that. And Scott Boris. Scott Boris is back,

38
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. He is back. Is better than ever.

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: The right way to say it. I feel like every

40
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: year he's got all these new puns. And he gave

41
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: us a couple of puns here today. Those are always

42
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: fun to dive into. But he did talk about Pete Alonzo,

43
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: did talk about Alex Bregman. We'll touch on that. And

44
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: we also have a little a couple of little tidbits

45
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: about Devin Williams as well. We got a little something there,

46
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: and Christian Campbell. We actually got something on him in

47
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, so I'll dive into that.

48
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: That was a mouthful to start off the show, but

49
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: that just shows that we got a lot to talk

50
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: about here, a lot to talk about. But if you

Speaker 1: can help me out, hit the like button, subscribe if

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: you're new, A lot of familiar faith to here in

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: the chat. Believe in Nicks, Phoenix, what's going on? White

54
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: Beard signs? How we doing? Hello, Moose? How you doing?

55
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: My friend? Hello? Hello? But everybody, let's get to it here,

56
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: and let's start off with Craig Bresla and going over

57
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: the needs. And like I said, you know we already,

58
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: we already know what the needs are. But he did

59
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: continue to touch on them. The first one thinking big

60
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: with the starting pitching, adding to the top of the rotation,

61
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: says here starting adding, starting pitching, and particularly someone we

62
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: feel can start alongside or slot in behind Garrett and

63
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: start a playoff game for us. Because of the depth

64
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: that we've built up over the last couple of years,

65
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: we feel pretty good about overall starting pitching and numbers

66
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: three ish through tennish. And that's not to take away

67
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: from the guys who are certainly capable of doing more.

68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: It's just to say, I don't think we're gonna spend

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: a ton of time trying to add a number four,

70
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: number five. If we're gonna make a starting pitching edition,

71
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: it I think it should be somebody who can pitch

72
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: at the front of the rotation. Goes on to say

73
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: here when it comes to individual names were brought up

74
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: here saying we'll see what the trade and free agent

75
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: market markets dictate. They are compelling opportunities in both we

76
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: think we are also mindful of while we believe we're

77
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: in a window to contend and to compete for the

78
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: postseason World Series championships, we're also mindful of keeping one

79
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: eye on the future. Trading away for really good young

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: players for starting pitching is one way of pulling those

81
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: wins forward, and there are times we showed last year

82
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: being one of them that you have to do that,

83
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: but we also don't want to be in a position

84
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: where we're having to do that year after year. And

85
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: then he goes out and talk about a big bat

86
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: as well. He says here, I don't want to get

87
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: anchored to this idea that the only way to score

88
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: runs is home runs. We showed that isn't the case.

89
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: I think we did talk about this the other night

90
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: as well, But that said, a disproportionate number of runs

91
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: in the postseason are scored va the home run, and

92
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: that's not something we can ignore. And we got a

93
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: little something here. Let's kind of dive into a couple

94
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: individual topics. Right when it came to the outfield surplus.

95
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: We all love using the word surplus when it comes

96
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: to the outfield. Right. When asked about that, he said

97
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: that he doesn't feel overly compelled to trade one of

98
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: his four outfielders, but teams have expressed interest, and he

99
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 1: will listen. He says here, going back to the trade deadline,

100
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: teams have expressed interest in some of our players. I

101
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: don't think that's surprising. And other teams recognize where we are,

102
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: so we'll stay open minded with those conversations. But again,

103
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: We're going to hold a really high bar, ladies and gentlemen.

104
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: This is a classic example of leverage right, keeping your

105
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: leverage high, keeping a good strong position when it comes

106
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: to negotiations with trades. Right. To be honest, I think

107
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,119
Speaker 1: this is exactly what he should say. The Red Sox

108
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: showed you last year that it was completely fine having

109
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: four outfielders. I'll be honest with you, I would not

110
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: be surprised at all. I mean, I know this might

111
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: not be the answer you want to hear, but I

112
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: really wouldn't be surprised if you still had all four

113
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: of these guys in the fold. I really wouldn't. I

114
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: do personally think Craig he is gonna want to get

115
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: what he feels like is good value back for either

116
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: Duran or Willier. All Right, I don't think Seti is

117
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: gonna get moved. I think his name could come up,

118
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: but I think it's either gonna be Duran or will

119
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: Or if they were to move one. Listen, they got

120
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: good value, they have good they have good surplus trade value.

121
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: He's not gonna give him away for pennies. Right. I've

122
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: been seeing some ideas out there, you know, I've been

123
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: seeing like you know, Vinnie pas Quentino popping up out there.

124
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where that originated from because I haven't

125
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: even seen one report that the Royals would want to

126
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: do that. I'm not sure where that idea started. I

127
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: don't see the Royals doing something like that. Well, so

128
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: there was also a connection with the Royals yesterday that

129
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: they are gonna be in the market for an outfielder,

130
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: which they should be, right they need to improve that

131
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: outfield offense. But I've been seeing people say, oh, well,

132
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: you can trade Duran or Willier for Vinnie pass Quentino. Well,

133
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm gonna hold I'm gonna pump the brakes

134
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: right there. I even see it in the Shack Tristing

135
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: trade for Vinnie pas Quentino. I'm gonna push back a

136
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: little bit. The Royals ranked bottom ten when it came

137
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: to home runs last year. Why would they trade a

138
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: guy who's got over thirty home runs? I don't really

139
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: see it. And also when it comes to trade value

140
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: surplus value, when you're factoring in the projections moving forward

141
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: for Vinnie Duran Willier, Duran and Willier are going to

142
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: have higher projections moving forward because they play a higher

143
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: value position. Vinnie pass Quentino's the first baseman. First baseman

144
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: simply are they're gonna lose a lot of value because

145
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: of the positional the adjusted field value when it comes

146
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: to the position right now, with Vinnie, he's gonna give

147
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: you some pop. But when it comes to his overall offense,

148
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: the WRC plus it's pretty good. I believe it was

149
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: at like a one fifteen one sixteen last year. He

150
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: gave you over thirty home runs. But you're kind of

151
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: hoping even for more from a first baseman there. You're

152
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: really looking for more offense than that. So Pascuentino, he's

153
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: gonna have some decent surplus value when it comes to

154
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: a trade, But Duran is gonna be way higher. Willier

155
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be way higher. And I don't see why

156
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: the Royals would move an offensive play one of their

157
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: best offensive players, especially one that is giving them home

158
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: runs where they ranked near the bottom. So trade for Duran,

159
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean, will You're sure that could put some power

160
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: back in the lineup, that could give them some defense

161
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: out there as well. I think you could make the

162
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: argument to Duran he could be a pretty good fit

163
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: at Kaufman for half a season because that is more

164
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: of a gap friendly park, and Durant I think could

165
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: fit pretty well. Kind of reminds me of Ben and

166
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: Tendi a little bit. He played very well there, but

167
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a In my opinion, I think

168
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: it's a lateral move right because they need to add offense.

169
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,599
Speaker 1: I don't see why you would take offense out to

170
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: just put another bat in. In my opinion, if they're

171
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: gonna go after Duran or will Yer, I think they

172
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: need to use pitching right because they got a lot

173
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: of pitching over there, right, So if they're gonna be

174
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: trading from a surplus like the Red Sox trading from

175
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: a surplus, I think they would in my opinion. Maybe

176
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I definitely have been wrong a lot, but

177
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: I think it would be better for them to move

178
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: from their surplus of pitching. They also have a couple

179
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: of good catching prospects as well. I don't see why

180
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: the Red Sox would want one of them. But that's

181
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: just me. So I don't see Vinie pas Quentina. To

182
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: be completely honest with you, again, I don't know where

183
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: that came from. I don't think the Royals want to

184
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: trade it. If you ask Royals fans all over the place,

185
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: they pretty much say no on Vinnie. I don't see

186
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: the point of getting rid of a guy hitting over

187
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: thirty home runs for so like Duran. Sure, he's gonna

188
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: give you speed, he's gonna give you you know, he's

189
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: gonna be able to play the outfield for you. He

190
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: can hit a lot of doubles for you. Over from

191
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: a wins above replacement standpoint, Duran would actually be the

192
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: better option than Vinnie. But why but the Red Sox

193
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna look at that trade and be like, well,

194
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: we're losing on that trade because Vinnie's trade value is

195
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: not as high as Duran's. I don't think that's a match.

196
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: Could you do Vinnie and maybe a picture? Would the

197
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: Royals want to do that? I don't know, I don't.

198
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: I think the Royals more likely. I think they're a

199
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: better trade partner for an outfielder with the Angels, I

200
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: think going after Taylor Ward or Joe Adell makes a

201
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: lot of sense. Taylor Ward, He's gonna give you some

202
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: good power there, which I think the Royals they obviously

203
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: need more of. They need to add power, not subtract power.

204
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: Ward I think would make a lot of sense for them,

205
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: And because he only has one more year of control,

206
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: his surplus value is not gonna be anywhere near as

207
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: high as Durance. Same thing with Joe Adele. Adele is

208
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: coming off a good season where he hit almost forty

209
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: home runs, but he lacks the track record, so his

210
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: value is not gonna be It's gonna be good, it's

211
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: gonna be decent, but it's not gonna be as high

212
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: as say Duranz, where he's coming off ten wins above

213
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: replacement combined over the last couple of years. So I

214
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: don't think the Royals and the Red Sox are great

215
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: trade partners when it comes to anything with either of

216
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: these guys. Vinnie, I don't see it. I don't think

217
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: it matches up very well if they were willing to

218
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: Chris Bubick. I know if people have mentioned him as well.

219
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: Chris Bubbick just had a rotator cuff injury last year.

220
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: So are the Red Sox even interested in that, I

221
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think they line up very well.

222
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: That's just my opinion. I think the Red Sox are

223
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: better off going after someone like Pete Alonso in the

224
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: free agent market. But at the end of the day,

225
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: anything can happen. The Royals, sure, could they maybe pull

226
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: off something for Duran or Willier? Of course they can

227
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: any You never say never to anything. I just don't

228
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: really see a perfect match with them. I think the

229
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: Angels and the Royals would match up better because the

230
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: Royals have some pitching that they could send back right.

231
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: The Angels need pitching right, So I think that matches

232
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: up very well. And the Red Sox they're looking for

233
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: more top of the rotation guys Chris Bubick shoulder injury

234
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: last year. I don't know. If you want to talk

235
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: Cole Reagan's, well, okay, I'm game for that. I'll talk

236
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Cole Reagan's any day of the week. Absolutely. I think

237
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: that you could get pretty uh if that were a

238
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: real conversation. Yeah, I think that could. I don't know.

239
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think the Royals are going

240
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: to do that though, so why would they want to

241
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: trade Cole Reagan's their best picture? So I don't know.

242
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: I think the Royal is gonna go after a dell

243
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: or Ward. That just makes more sense to be where

244
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: was I There was a lot going on there anyway,

245
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: But the Red Sox. They're gonna be looking for a

246
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: lot when it comes to Duran or Willier, because again,

247
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: they have a lot of value, right, So Craig, he's

248
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: not gonna sell them for pennies, right, He's gonna look

249
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: to get back very good young players that I think

250
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: he would rather have that can help you now, right,

251
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: not just prospects, but guys that can contribute to the

252
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: team now. I think the perfect situation is to possibly

253
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,599
Speaker 1: use one of them in a trade to land a

254
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: number two. I think that would be the perfect situation.

255
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: That's just my opinion though, But we also had this

256
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: he was asked if the Red Sox could sign two

257
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: big hitters two big hit Hey gave it a pretty

258
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: interesting answer. He said, we could. I think we're gonna

259
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: be very open to every conceivable path to improving the team,

260
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: specifically what that looks like or who the names are

261
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: that fill those roles. I think we'll see how the

262
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: offseason plays out. And he did talk about Bregman a

263
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: little bit as well, so probably not surprisingly, I'll void

264
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: getting into specific conversations, but this is a great opportunity

265
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: to meet with a bunch of people, a bunch of

266
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: representatives Scott certainly being one of them. And we know

267
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: Alex intimately based on what he did for us last year,

268
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: so we'll know how the offseason plays out, but recognize

269
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: the fit that he provides. I'm gonna be very honest

270
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: with you. I think the Red Sox when it comes

271
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: to Bregman, I think they're just gonna be very patient.

272
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: I think again, I've been looking at this, I've been

273
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: looking at all the possibilities for Bregman out there. I

274
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: don't see a better fit than the Red Sox. I

275
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: really don't. I mean sure, could you say the Phillies, Well,

276
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: they got they got to figure out Boem and do

277
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: they want to add a big contract and they want

278
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: to bring back Schwarber. We'll talk about him in a second.

279
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean they've been over the Phillies

280
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: have been over the CBT for four straight years. Are

281
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: they just are they gonna just keep giving out contracts

282
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: like Candy? At some point it's like, so are they

283
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a good fit for Bregman. I don't know

284
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: the Mets. I mean, I think David Stearn's I think

285
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna be looking for different things. I think he's

286
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: gonna be looking to focus on the pitching. He's got

287
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: to do something about first base if Pete Alonzo ends

288
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: up going elsewhere. I don't know. I don't see the

289
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: Mets very much. The Mariners. I mean, the last time

290
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: they spent big, what was signing Robbie Ray for five years,

291
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: one ten or one oh five or whatever it was.

292
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: Are they gonna hand out a big contract to Bregman.

293
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't really see that great of

294
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: a fit. The Cubs they got Matt Shaw. The Tigers.

295
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: Could they revisit it, Yeah, I think, you know, could

296
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: see them making a phone call. But I think at

297
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: this point you have a younger player in Bobachett that

298
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: could fit a need for them, whether that's a shortstop

299
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: or second base. With Kevin McGonagall coming up soon, so

300
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: I think the Tigers could Bobachhett be more of a

301
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: target for them if they were to go after a bat.

302
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: I don't see a great fit for Bregman, to be

303
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: honest with you, I think it's somebody and I talked

304
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: about this the other night. The Kansas City Royals. They

305
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: popped up at one point for Bregman. I think John

306
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: Hayman put it out there. That screams to me that boris.

307
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: He told John Hayman, hey, hey go put the Royals

308
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: out there. We need to we need to start trying

309
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: to beef up this market for him a little bit.

310
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: The Royals. The Royals. They're not gonna sign Bregman. I

311
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: mean maybe a short term deal, but I don't know.

312
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: That sounds kind of wacky if you ask me. I

313
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: don't think there's a market for Bregman, but I don't

314
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: think it's a strong market. I think the Red Sox

315
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: they check off all the boxes, so I think they're

316
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: just gonna game. I think they saw this right, especially

317
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: after the quad injury. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

318
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 1: At the front office. At one point after that injury,

319
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: they said, hey, you know what, obviously it stinks losing him.

320
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: Obviously we want Bregman to help us out, but hey,

321
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: come off season, it might kind of help us out

322
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: in the long run, right. And of course there's gonna

323
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: be worries about Bregman with the durability moving forward, but

324
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: the guy's already after it the offseason, man, I think

325
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine. You know, Hey, stuff happens injuries happened,

326
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: but he's just been so solid, and he was great

327
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: before he went down with that injury. It wasn't as

328
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 1: great when he came back, but he came back early.

329
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: He was out of his groove. I'm okay on Bregman

330
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: moving forward personally, but I think the Red Sox have

331
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: the best fit. I think they're just gonna wait it out,

332
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: and who knows. Maybe, of course, he could always go somewhere.

333
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: That's just the way I'm feeling about it right now.

334
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: I think they just wait, They let things play out,

335
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: and they'll go from there. But in the meantime, could

336
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: they possibly go after another bat? Of course they could.

337
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber, Peter Alonzo or Euhenio Suarez are among the

338
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:19,239
Speaker 1: top power hitters available on the free agent market. And uh,

339
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: we got a little something on Kyle Schwarber. And listen,

340
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: Kyle Schoorber. You know I've been on record saying Pete

341
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: Alonzo I think is a great fit for many reasons.

342
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't need to keep repeating the reasons. Obviously, hits

343
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: for power can play first base for you. When Tristan

344
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: Costas comes back, you can slide back in first base,

345
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: DH whatever it may be, don't have to give up

346
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: a draft pick. I think Pete Alonzo checks off a

347
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: lot of boxes, right, He's played in the big market,

348
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: so I think he makes a lot of sense. But

349
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: we did get something from Robert Murray taking a look here.

350
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: Everyone I'm talking to here at the GM meetings believes

351
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: that the Red Sox are going to be a big

352
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: player for Kyle Schwarber this offseason. And that is absolutely

353
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 1: a team to watch for him, though a reunion with

354
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Phillies is very possible. Listen, Kyle Schwarber, I'm

355
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: all about it, of course. You know I've been on record.

356
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso, of course, but Schwarber, you could absolutely make

357
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: that work. You're gonna have to figure out what to

358
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: do with Massa at that point. I think you try

359
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: to move in him. If you can't trade him, you

360
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: dfan at that point. But Schwarbert, he is just as

361
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: good of a fit in my opinion. And actually Breslo

362
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: did talk about this as well, and I think I

363
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: have the quote here. Did he put the You know,

364
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: I might not have the quote available on the screen,

365
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: but I do you have it here on the good

366
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: old iPad. He said, here on the possibility of adding

367
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: a designated hitter without talking specifically about a certain player.

368
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: In one scenario, we like the flexibility of being able

369
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: to rotate through the DH spot, whether that's any of

370
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: the four outfielders or being able to mix and match

371
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: and give Alex multiple ways to deploy the roster. There

372
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: are certain talents that are elite enough that you commit

373
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: that spot to them. David Ortiz was an example I used.

374
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: If you have David Ortiz as your DH every day,

375
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: you just pencil him in. So yeah, I mean, Kyle

376
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: Schwarber's Kyle Schworber, and you're gonna see people out there

377
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, man, that bat's not gonna age

378
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: very well. Schwarber, at least in my opinion, when you

379
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: just take a look at what he just did this

380
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: past year in his age thirty two season, Schwarber is

381
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: one of those guys. I think he's just gonna stay

382
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: strong in his thirties. You know, he's a guy that

383
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: just knows how to hit a home run. It's one

384
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: of those things, man, you're just born with it. The

385
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 1: guy just hits for a ton of power. He just

386
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: knows how to hit a dinger. Right, it's not even

387
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: just having the strength and the power, but it's also

388
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: just he just knows what to look for. He just

389
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: knows himself so well at this point, he's like mastered

390
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: hitting the home run. And it kind of reminds me

391
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: of David Ortiz obviously, right, staying so productive through his

392
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: age thirty years. You look at Nelson Cruz, I mean,

393
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: even look at Jim Tellmey in his thirties. Those guys

394
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: hit for a ton of a ton of power and

395
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: they just stayed very strong during their thirties. Right. I

396
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: think Schwarber is gonna end up being the same thing.

397
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: I fully believe that. I don't know just the way

398
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: you why the dude just hits dingers like he's just

399
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: so good at it, right, He's a master of hitting

400
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: the homer. So Shoreber I definitely think makes a lot

401
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: of sense. But I've talked about it at length. It's

402
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: gonna come down to the Phillies. I think are they

403
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: going to spend the money to hang on to him?

404
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: I just mentioned there. The Phillies have been over the

405
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: CBT for four straight years. John Middleton wants to win,

406
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: He absolutely does, right, that guy he's been wanting to

407
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: bring a World Series to Philadelphia for how long. Now,

408
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: if you lose Schwarber, you're losing not just a big

409
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: part of your team statistically, but you're basically losing the

410
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: heart of your team. Right you could say Bryce Harper

411
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: is the soul of the team. Schwarber is the heart,

412
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: right He's just you could you could say the lungs.

413
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: If you take out his home runs, the Phillies there's

414
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of power at that I mean,

415
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: they'd have to go out. I mean at that point,

416
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: if they lost Schwarber, I could totally see them going

417
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: after Enio Suarez right like, they would have to pivot

418
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: to someone like him. You would be losing too many

419
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: home runs at that point. Next guy up was Harper

420
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: with twenty seven or twenty eight, can't remember the number,

421
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's good. That would be a big loss

422
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: for the Phillies. But at some point, business is business.

423
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: I know, we can all sit here and say, oh, well,

424
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: you gotta go sign this guy, this guy, this guy.

425
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: But when you're over the CBT for four straight years,

426
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: you're getting hit with all these taxes and you haven't

427
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: brought it, and you haven't gotten the championship that you're

428
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: looking for. At some point you gotta make some kind

429
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: of an adjustment. I'm not saying the Phillies are gonna

430
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: just go under the CBT, but just going out there

431
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: and just giving out contracts to guys it hasn't gotten

432
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: it done. Now. Could they clear out Castianos Taiwan Walker.

433
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: Maybe they trade Alec Bom that could clear off some

434
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: payroll and they could use that towards Shober, right, But

435
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, they know they gotta figure out j t

436
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: rel Muto too. So it's like, I'm not saying they

437
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: won't or can't sign Schoorber, it's how far are they

438
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: willing to go that? That's what I wonder about, because

439
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: they do have other needs and they got to focus

440
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: on that. They got to focus on that aspect as well.

441
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: If the Red Sox are willing to throw down the

442
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: bucks for Kyle Schober and they're willing to just keep

443
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: outbidding them, I mean, I know, you know, we've all

444
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: we've all been pretty hesitant about the Red Sox with

445
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: their spending over the last couple of years, But hey,

446
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: you just saw them throw down a high aav on

447
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: a short term deal for Bregman just last year. Would

448
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: they be willing to throw down, you know, say for

449
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: a four year deal, five year deal, you know, thirty

450
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: five per year. Could you see the Red Sox do that? Maybe?

451
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: You know, Cora loves Schoorber, the front office loves him.

452
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: He'd be a perfect fit. He's already shown he can

453
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: play at Familyay Park. I think it'd be great so,

454
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: but I think the one thing that keeps the Red

455
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: Sox in the hunt from a financial point of view

456
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: is it wouldn't be this long term deal. I think

457
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: it would be five years tops. Maybe he doesn't even

458
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: need that. Maybe he's all right, we're just getting a

459
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: four year deal. I don't, uh, who knows. I think

460
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: the Red Sox can absolutely do it. But if not,

461
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: if the Phillies are too much, I think Alonso is

462
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: the guy that you gotta watch out for. So it's

463
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting here. But that is again the fact

464
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: that Robert Murray, he's always dialed in. He's at the

465
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: GM meetings and he's saying that everyone's talking about it,

466
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: that the Red Sox is gonna be a big player.

467
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: I think it's a big sign. I think it's a

468
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: good sign. We'll see what ends up happening. So we've

469
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: got a few more things to talk about here. We'll

470
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: get to Scott Boris up next, but we do have

471
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: a word from our sponsor. I'll be right back.

00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's get to it here, shall we. And Scott

489
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: Boris is back, Ladies and gentlemen, Um, good old Scott

490
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: bors Man, Good old Scott bors gotta gotta love it.

491
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: He brought the puns back here today. He had a

492
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: couple of puns that listen, I love me a pun,

493
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: all right. But there's just something about when Scott Boris

494
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: does it. We all know this man is looking for

495
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: all the money. He's looking for all the moolahs. So

496
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: to me, you know, I love me a good dad joke.

497
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: I love me anytime just my dad or whoever're out there,

498
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: they lay out a good pun. It always makes me laugh.

499
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: But there's something about when Boris does it. Oh, I

500
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: just just rubs me the wrong way, probably because he's

501
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: been so difficult to deal with all these years. But

502
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: he had this one about Pete Alonzo. This one was

503
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: a doozy. I think Pete at this point in his career,

504
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: he's about winning, No doubt had that question a lot.

505
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that Pete's pursuers are prime to pay

506
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: the power piper Pete picked a perfect period. I'm sorry,

507
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: I'm emphasizing all the peas to play preeminently at a

508
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: really pre primary position, a playoff parched plethora. Jeez man

509
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: will pounce to participate in the polar plunge. First off,

510
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: how did he is he reading these in the mirror

511
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: in his hotel room, in his nice suite, wherever the

512
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: whatever floor he's on. Is he practicing this in front

513
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: of the mirror? He has to be. He's probably just

514
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: having a good old time, just sitting there in front

515
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: of the mirror, just reading off, probably on his he

516
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: wrote down on his iPad or whatever he's got on him.

517
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: How does he even remember this? Like, there's no way

518
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: he just came up with that on the spot. But

519
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: we also had this one about Alex Bregman. He focused

520
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: on the coffee, Uh, Duncan the beans. He focused on

521
00:28:54,280 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: a more a Boston themed sort of a statement. Prior

522
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: to twenty five, Boston has been the kind of club

523
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: that has Duncan well below the playoff line. I think

524
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: it was a bad roast in Beantown. I think it

525
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: was a bad roast in Beantown. Give the owners credit

526
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: in twenty five, they went out and spent some Starbucks

527
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: to bring in a Bregman blend that led them to

528
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I'm sure the Boston fans don't want this

529
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: to be a cup of coffee, and no one wants

530
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: a Brexit unbelievable. Gotta love that. But if you're watching

531
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: with us on Nesson, I do have to wrap it

532
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: up right there. But if you want to see the

533
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: rest of the show, coming over to YouTube monsteron Territory

534
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: and see what I gotta say. But everyone on Nesson

535
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: I'll to see next time. But uh, lots of coffee

536
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: talk with Alex Bregman. But you know what, I think

537
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: that that was a good one actually talking about a

538
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: cup of coffee. Allright, listen, I don't want it to

539
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: be a cup of coffee. I want Bregman to stick

540
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: around for a while. I think he brings all of

541
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: the boxes that you're looking to check on the field.

542
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna give you a solid batnanar at the top

543
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: of the order. He's gonna give you good defense. He's

544
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a good guy to have in the clubhouse,

545
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: a leader, a face of the franchise kind of a

546
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: guy that's the kind of guy I want in Boston

547
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: for the long haul, all right, So yeah, I agree.

548
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: I don't want it to be a cup of coffee.

549
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to brexit. I think he'll come back eventually. So, however,

550
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: we did have this on Pete Alonzo from Tim Healy

551
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: from Tim Healy, now writing for the Boston Globe, former

552
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: Mets writer, and he says here Scott Boris indicated that

553
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo is indeed amenable to d hing some starting

554
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,479
Speaker 1: in twenty six, particularly in the right situation for a

555
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: winning team. Ladies and gentlemen. If that doesn't scream Red Sox,

556
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what else does. That's exactly the kind

557
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: of situation that the Red Sox have to offer. It's

558
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: perfect again, I don't even repeat it. Right, Cassus he

559
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: comes back whenever he is good to go, whenever he's

560
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: feeling right, whenever the bat is looking all right. He

561
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: can just slide right in, no pressure. And I actually

562
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: think that would actually be a great situation for Cassus

563
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: because coming into this past year, a lot of people

564
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: were focused on him. Granted, you know, he does like

565
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: to say some things and he does draw some attention

566
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: to himself. I think we can all agree that that's

567
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: a I think that's a fair statement to make. He

568
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: does draw a out of the attention. But with that,

569
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people were focused on, Okay, what was

570
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: the production like? Right? And he has shown the good

571
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: power before obviously, I mean, my goodness, I think back

572
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: all the time to the home run that he hit

573
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Guy's got power for days. But I

574
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: actually think if you bring in Alonso, that would really

575
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: take a lot of pressure off of him, because they

576
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: put him right there in the middle of the order

577
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: to be a guy, a thumper there, and he was

578
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: struggling big time. So I think if you bring an

579
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: Alonso or Shoreber, however they do it, that would actually

580
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: be good for Kassas and he wouldn't have to rush

581
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: back more so, if you bring in Alonso, he wouldn't

582
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: have to really focus on trying to get back as

583
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: quickly as he could. He can just kind of take

584
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: his time at that point, and whenever he's ready and

585
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: good to go, there you go. There's your path and

586
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: you can kind of just stick him more towards the

587
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: bottom of the order at that point, or you know,

588
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: a little lower maybe you know, fifth or sixth, seventh even, right,

589
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: and he can kind of just focus. I'm not trying

590
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: to do too much, right, not trying to be the

591
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: cleanup hitter for the Red Sox, because that's what Alonzo

592
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: would be. So I like that situation overall. And if

593
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: he is okay to dhing and that has been a

594
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: talking point, is is he going to want to be

595
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: a full time first baseman? And I've said, you know,

596
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: we've talked about the defense with him. It's been some

597
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: of the worst defense at first base going back over

598
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. He needs to be dhing more. Now,

599
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: I think, you know, putting him at first base when

600
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: you're working the righty lefty matchups, however you do it,

601
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think it's fine to put him

602
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: out there from time to time, right, I think it

603
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. Right. So that was I

604
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: think some underrated news here today regarding Pete Alonzo. Now,

605
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: we do have a little something on Devin Williams. Devin Williams,

606
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, funny enough, we did a mailbag segment last

607
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: week a couple of weeks ago, can't remember, but we

608
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: actually had a question about Devin Williams. And funny enough,

609
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: the question was, you know, do you see the Red

610
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: Sox adding Devin Williams. And I said to that question,

611
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: I can't remember the exact answer I gave, but I said, listen,

612
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: you know the ability that Williams has. The guy strikes

613
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: out a lot of dudes. Right, he had it up

614
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: and down you were the Yankees. But the metrics looked

615
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: very good with him still thirteen strikeouts per nine, right,

616
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: still getting a lot of whiffs. He had some is

617
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: shoes in the closer role. He seemed like he did

618
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: better in the setup role. But that is a reliever

619
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: statistically that would help the Red Sox. Right, And funny enough,

620
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: we actually got this report from Will Salmon of the

621
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: Athletic saying that the Red Sox and the Reds are

622
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: among roughly a dozen teams that have expressed early interest

623
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: in Devin Williams. The Dodgers as well, and then also

624
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: Kevin Barrawl linked the Marlins to Devin Williams a few

625
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago. There's absolutely going to be a market form.

626
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: I think the Tigers could do someone like him as well.

627
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: I think you would actually fit very well in a

628
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: picture friendly park like that. The Giants, I think would

629
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 1: be a good fit. They could do some arms. There's

630
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: a lot of teams that would like to have Devin

631
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: Williams because the metrics looked very good with him and

632
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: with the Red Sox, he would help. They were nineteenth

633
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: in strikeouts per nine this past year and that was

634
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: with a role to Chapman. The bullpen was nineteenth in

635
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: strikeouts per nine, so they could use a bit more

636
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: swinging miss there. So that tells me, even if they

637
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: don't end up getting Devin Williams, that shows where the

638
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: Red Sox are looking to improve when it comes to

639
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: the bullpen. They want more strikeouts, not just Chapman, but

640
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: they want to improve in that area. So I think

641
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Do I think they're gonna end up landing

642
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: Devin Williams. I'll probably say no, because the Red Sox

643
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: they got bigger fish to fry. They're looking for the

644
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: middle of the order bat They're looking to add to

645
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: the top of the rotation. Could that be a trade?

646
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: Could that be a starting picture on the free agent market,

647
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: like Dylan sees. Possibly? Sure. I think though the Red

648
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: Sox they're gonna be looking for more swinging miss I

649
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: do think they need to add to the bullpen, and

650
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: I have talked about it. I think they need to

651
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: add a lefty to the bullpen. Justin Wilson. Is he

652
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: gonna come back? I'm not sure, but I think that's

653
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: something they could focus on. I'll be honest with you,

654
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if the Red Sox at some

655
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: point they just pulled off like some random trade for

656
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: a lefty reliever, kind of just like an out of

657
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: nowhere kind of like last like when the Red Sox

658
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: signed Justin Wilson, it was sort of like this under

659
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: the radar kind of a move. I could see that

660
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: happening again this offseason. We'll see. But you know, the

661
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: you know Craig, you know, sure he's got to go

662
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: after the big names, but don't doubt Craig when it

663
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: comes to finding some diamonds in the rough, right, So

664
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes. Let's get to the last

665
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: topic of the show, and now Christian Campbell. Yes, Christian Campbell,

666
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 1: he is still around. Ladies and gentlemen, we're talking Coyle,

667
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: schwar Repeat, Alonzo, all the pictures out there, but uh,

668
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: we got a little Christian Campbell here and also, I'm

669
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: gonna be touching you know what. Actually, really quick, let

670
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: me pull up the did I I don't I think

671
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: did I touch the Joe Ryan story? Oh? You know what?

672
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: I did not touch on the Joe Ryan story. So

673
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: hold on, let me pull this up here, let me here.

674
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: We got I think I clicked out of it. I

675
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: gotta touch on that. Yeah, we gotta. We gotta talk

676
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: about that one. Here we go. This is important, right,

677
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: this is something you got to pay attention to, and

678
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: let's read it first. So Derek Falvey, he talked to

679
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: the Athletic not too long ago. He said, My our

680
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: focus and my goal has been figuring out how to

681
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: add around the group we already have. We think our

682
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: starting pitching is the strength of this team. We know

683
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: Pablo and Joe have been real anchors for us the

684
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,479
Speaker 1: last couple of years when healthy, with Bailey Ober coming

685
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: back in a healthy spot, and then all the young

686
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: pitching that we acquired, whether it's todj Bradley and Macabel

687
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: who had just acquired to join Zebbie Matthews and Simon

688
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: was Richardson, excuse me, and David Festa and others. We

689
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: like that group. I have been on record. I've been

690
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: on record here now I've been on record saying I

691
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: think that they should trade Joe Ryan. But I have

692
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: absolutely said that the Twins have good young talent there.

693
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: That's a team. Just because they traded off a whole

694
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: bunch of guys in the deadline, do not write them

695
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: off in twenty twenty six. They got young talent there, right,

696
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: brooks Lee first round pick couple of years ago. I

697
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: could see him definitely getting going a bit more. They

698
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: got one of the top prospects in the game, Walker Jenkins.

699
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: He's getting close, you know, pulling up their roster here.

700
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: And uh, you know Luke Keashel very underrated prospect last year.

701
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,919
Speaker 1: The guy was hitting great. Royce Lewis, he's shown, has

702
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: shown good things in the past, went healthy. If he

703
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: can stay healthy, that's that's a big question mark. But

704
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, they got guys here. So that's why I

705
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: was saying, like I, you know, if you were to

706
00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: trade for Joe Ryan, could you do someone like Iran

707
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: or will you or bray you? Because they have good

708
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: talent here right, it's young, but you could add a

709
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: guy like that under control that can help them compete

710
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: over the next few years. But yeah, they have a

711
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 1: solid rotation here. I mean Pablo Lopez, Joe Ryan, Bailey,

712
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: Ober Zebbie Matthews. You know, the overall numbers weren't great

713
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: last year, but he's shown some good things. Mick Abel

714
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: he looked a lot better last year. They got him

715
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: back in the Phillies trade, so they got guys. So

716
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: I think with Joe Ryan, I think they will move him.

717
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: That's what I think. But I think it's again it's

718
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: the leverage game, right. This is another form of leverage.

719
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: This is Derek Falvey saying we're not gonna be giving

720
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 1: up Joe Ryan easily. We're not gonna be just trading

721
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: this guy for nothing. Right. Yeah, they obviously made a

722
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: lot of moves of the deadline, but he doesn't want

723
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: to go into this offseason thinking, all right, everyone's up

724
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: for grabs, show me your best offer, Like, no, you

725
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: want He's gonna put out there. Hey, yeah, we like

726
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan, we like Pablo Lopez. We want to add

727
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: to this group. They just brought in Shelton as the manager,

728
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: so they have every reason to hang on to him.

729
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: They don't need to move him now. I think they.

730
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: I think they will. I think they should at least, right,

731
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna be cheap to acquire him. It's

732
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna take a bit. It's gonna probably take right around

733
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: what it took to get Crochet, to be honest with you,

734
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: right around that price, right, probably four for one and

735
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: including a top fifty prospect, maybe even the top twenty five. Right,

736
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: So we'll see you. But I have been on record

737
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: as well saying, you know, I've wondered if the Red

738
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: Sox did they miss their chance on him. Man, I

739
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: hate to keep saying it, but not only could the

740
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 1: Twins just hang on to him, but teams out there

741
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: like the Mets could absolutely get a deal done for right,

742
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 1: So I wonder what is going to be the direction

743
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: here for the Red Sox. I'm very intrigued about that. Right,

744
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: but little water thrown on the Joe Ryan sweepstakes. You're

745
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to keep an eye on that. So we

746
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 1: will see. Now. Last story, Christian Campbell talking about where

747
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 1: his best defensive fit is. Craig Breslo said, that's something

748
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: we're actively discussing. Even if that may not be the

749
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 1: case long term, perhaps in the short term, just giving

750
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: him some stability and certainty to where he's going to play,

751
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: and maybe easing some of the kind of mental demands

752
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: on trying to play multiple positions at the same time.

753
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: You know, last year when they were having him taking

754
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: some reps at first base, I thought it was cool.

755
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: But you get me, and I love how open he

756
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: was to doing He say, hey, wherever you want to

757
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 1: put me, man, put me out there, right, But man,

758
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: you gotta think. You know, this had a lot of

759
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: hype coming into the last year, and he got off

760
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: of that hot start. Teams figured him out. He was

761
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: playing all around. He was playing up the middle, he

762
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: was playing in the outfield, and people Red Sox Nation

763
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: last year we're all saying, like, why is he playing

764
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: in center? Like stop moving him around? I think it

765
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: was only hurting him in the end, and he was

766
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: just having too much going on. But he did say

767
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: here in terms of the position. That's an ongoing conversation,

768
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: and some of it might be dictated by the roster

769
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: construction as what we believe to be best for him.

770
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: I think he's incredibly athletic. Sometimes the way he goes

771
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: about the swing or defense is a bit unorthodox in

772
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: terms of the optics, but he has been a good

773
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: defender in the upper levels of the minor leagues. Whether

774
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: that ultimately is in the infield or the outfield, will

775
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: figure it out. We saw him play above average defense

776
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: at second base in the minor leagues. He played a

777
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: little bit shortstops some outfield. Last year. He struggled in

778
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: the big leagues base. If you think about where his

779
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: athleticism may play in the short term, I think in

780
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: the outfield, he feels pretty comfortable as a chance to

781
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: just kind of let the instincts take over, right I

782
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: think that probably, I think you need to figure that out,

783
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: But I think that is the right way to go

784
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: for right now because the Red Sox an underrated thing

785
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: they need to address this offseason is improving the defense

786
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: up the middle. Story had a really tough September that

787
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: just made his defensive numbers tank. Second base has been

788
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: just basically a black hole for the Red Sox over

789
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Campbell looked great there, you know,

790
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: at least with the bat for the first month, but

791
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: the defense, he was having issues out there. I've said

792
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: it a million times. I think Marcella Meyer needs to

793
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: be the second baseman. I think he just sures that

794
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: up completely. And I think Christian Campbell working into the outfield.

795
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: I know we've talked about this outfield surplus, but I

796
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: think that's right now. I think that's the way to go.

797
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: And with his right handed bat, you know, let's say

798
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: you end up hanging on to Duran, Willier or however

799
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: whoever they hang on to, that could be a way

800
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: for him to work into the lineup right having the

801
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: right handed bat. You know, Cora, he likes the matchups

802
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: like that. So that's how I think, at least right now,

803
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: based off of how things look, that's probably what you're

804
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna see from Christian Campbell, right, just working into the

805
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: lineup in those kind of ways. Someone goes down with

806
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: an injury, you call upon him, and hey, if they

807
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: end up hanging on to Willier, Duran, whoever it may be,

808
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 1: especially Willier he had some injuries last year, right, Duran,

809
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: he didn't hit very well against lefties last year. You know,

810
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: same you could say the same thing with Willier. Right. So,

811
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be opportunities for Campbell, and I

812
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: think when his opportunity arrives, I think he's gonna be

813
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in Christian Campbell. Very high on him.

814
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: I think he's got a good head on his shoulders,

815
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: very athletic, and he's just got to get in the

816
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: lab this offseason really smooth out some things work on

817
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 1: that approach, trying to pull the ball a little bit more.

818
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: I think we'll get there. I'm very high on him.

819
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: I think he still has a bright future. So but

820
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: that's all we got here for tonight, ladies and gentlemen.

821
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,520
