1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: He went from like, ooh, this is going to be

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: a process too. Is this guy the best defensive first

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: baseman we're watching right now? And he's probably not the best,

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: but he's up there. Welcome into north Side Territory, Foul

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: Territory Networks Cubs Podcast. I'm Sahad Sharma with my partner

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: Patrick Mooney, where your Cubs beat writers over at the

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: Athletic Patrick. It's been a busy week. A lot has happened.

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't think we've have we recorded, Oh, we did

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: record an emergency Kyle Tucker podcast, But even after that,

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: there's been plenty. We've had press conferences, We've had another trade.

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: We've had the Carson Kelly signing be official, that Matt

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Siss trade, Oh dear. But the most recent thing we've

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: been teasing this, I don't think it comes as a

14
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: surprise to anyone who's been paying attention, but Cody Bellinger

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: has finally been traded. It's been traded to the Yankees.

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: There's no surprises here. I think if I'm surprised about anything,

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: it's about I guess how little money the Cubs gave

18
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: up and how you know, I don't know, I don't

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: know how to pronounce his last name properly, But Cody Cody, Like,

20
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot about him, so I don't

21
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: want to, you know, talk down about him. But he's

22
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: you know, a fungible, you know, swingman, it seems like,

23
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: is how best to describe him. I didn't see anything

24
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: that stood out. I saw some people talking about a sweeper.

25
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna spend a lot of time

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: talking about him until the season starts and we see

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: him play. Right, But this is about Cody Bellinger going

28
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: to the Yankees and the Cubs freeing up a little

29
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 1: money here or a decent amount of money, I should

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: say yeah.

31
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: I mean clearly they were rooting for him to opt out, right,

32
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: I mean they.

33
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: Get rid of.

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: That money clearly by having the Yankees take on that

35
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: much salary, it reduces the return. And I think fungible

36
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: is a good word for the incoming Cody here. It's

37
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: kind of wild after all the time spent on you know,

38
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: will they trade him? Will they won't? Going back to

39
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, where's he going as a free agent?

40
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: Is he gonna opt in or out? You know, their

41
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: trade rumors out there last summer as well, and for

42
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: him to just wind up on the on the Yankees,

43
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: a team that was really after him at twenty twenty

44
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 2: three for a pretty minimal return, is kind of kind

45
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: of funny. But yeah, I guess you can't really evaluate

46
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: it until we see what they do next and ultimately

47
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: where their payroll ends up next year, because right now

48
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: it just kind of looks like a salary dum.

49
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: Right. I agree, you cannot. It's hard to valuate this

50
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: trade on its own, Like, on its own, it doesn't

51
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: it looks bad right on its own. It's not like

52
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: it's not a positive thing. It doesn't. It doesn't make

53
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: the team better, but that's not the point of the move. Essentially,

54
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: the Cubs would have had to pay, like if he

55
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: would have opted out, they would have had to pay

56
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: him two and a half million dollars, right, So that

57
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: was part of it, right, So essentially they're sending another

58
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: two and a half million to the Yankees, plus whatever

59
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: Cooditt is gonna make this year and the value he

60
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: brings to the team, right, they can't ignore that, whatever

61
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: that may be. So they have they have essentially a

62
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: little less than what they would have had had he

63
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: opted out. So It's kind of like it's the situation

64
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: that I described before, right that this is kind of like, Okay,

65
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: now they can go make the moves that they had

66
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: in their mind or try and do the things they

67
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: had in their mind. And part of it was probably

68
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker, Right, that's part of it. What's the what

69
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: is the point of having Kyle Tucker, says Azuki, Michael Bush,

70
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: Pete Crow Armstrong and Katey Bellinger? Like how are how

71
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: are you gonna play all those guys? It's like it

72
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: just doesn't it doesn't work well, Like none of those

73
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: guys are part time players. You shouldn't be sitting those guys,

74
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: any of those guys two or three times a week.

75
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make sense. Uh so it Yeah, I

76
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: guess you could have gotten creative. But one thing that

77
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: I can't remember who asked the question, but Michael Bush

78
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: is their first baseman. I saw some speculation online people

79
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: talking about that. It never made sense to me. They

80
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: said it last year. Uh they said it coming into

81
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: last year, and they could have used a third basement.

82
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: They could have used it there. It's not like like yeah,

83
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: there's no like they could have used his versatility at

84
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: plenty of times last year, and and Jed said he's

85
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: a gold love first baseman. They see him as a

86
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: goal globe first baseman. I don't disagree. I was talking

87
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: to someone at the winter meetings, like, I haven't seen

88
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: that type of improvement over the course of the season

89
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: defensively by a player that often. He went from like, oh,

90
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: this is going to be a process too. Is this

91
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: guy the best defensive first baseman we're watching right now?

92
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: And he's probably not the best, but he's up there.

93
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: He got really good over the course of the six

94
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: months of baseball he played last summer. I'm just curious

95
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: what else happens here. I agree with you, we cannot

96
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: judge this in a vacuum. It's not fair, but it

97
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: like optically, I understand why someone would a with the

98
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: history recent history of the Cubs and how they spend

99
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: I get it, like you want to see that money spend.

100
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: It's like just seeing like Tody Bellinger brought a lot

101
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: of fun to this city at different points. Right, he's

102
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: a fun player to watch when he's healthy and and

103
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: and looks good out there. But uh yeah, I think

104
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: it made all the sense in the world to kind

105
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: of they had to make a move here, we'll we'll

106
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: see what We'll see what's next. I don't I don't

107
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: think this is purely a salary dump in this in

108
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: the traditional sense.

109
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, well, yeah, we'll reserve judgment until right,

110
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: you know, but the track record is a little spotty.

111
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 2: And I do I do wonder you know what happens

112
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: if seales O hurts his obleague again in spring training

113
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: and Pikrow Armstrong runs into the wall making a great

114
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: catch and his sidelined.

115
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: And I think they are putting a lot of faith in.

116
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: Michael Bush, but they were kind of kind of stuck

117
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: with all these no trade and guys on kind of

118
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 2: like hefty AAVs on these kind of medium term.

119
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: Arrangements.

120
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: And you know, part of why the return seems a

121
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: little less than is that the baseball industry is sort

122
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: of split or a little skeptical on Cody Bellinger, right,

123
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: Like that's why he came back to the Cups, because

124
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: he didn't get that huge deal and the more analytically

125
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: inclined teams were always going to be a little suspicious

126
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: of some of his bat atball data. And then just

127
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: the kind of wide variance in his performance from year

128
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: to year. It's a hard guy to you know, kind

129
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: of go all out for. And that's why he's been

130
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: on kind of one year deals or multi year deals

131
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: with you know, escape patches stuff like that. So that said,

132
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: I think he winds up in an awesome place for him, right,

133
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: I mean, his dad played at awesome Yankee teams, Yankee stadiums, dimensions.

134
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 3: He fits that team really well with his you know, versatility.

135
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: So I think once again, it's if he ops into

136
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: his contract for the twenty twenty six season event something

137
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: went clearly wrong and that the Yankees and Bellinger and

138
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: Scott Boris would all be expecting a monster platform or

139
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: for him from him.

140
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and obviously having him as as depth or making

141
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: your lineup versatile would would be great, right I There's

142
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: a couple of things I would wonder in that situation.

143
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: I don't think these guys are all like the type

144
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: to complain a ton, but it is hard, like it

145
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: is when you have those types of players as depth.

146
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: I think it can be hard, right like it like

147
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: the clubhouse can get a little clubhouse dynamic can get

148
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: thrown off. So I think the other part of that

149
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: is Jed Hoy's been talk about this for a while.

150
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: He wants the young players to be deaf. Yeah, that's

151
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: a good point, right, And Kevin Alcantra and Owen Casey

152
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: can fill those in theory, hopefully fill those spots that

153
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: we're talking about when we say, like when you and

154
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: you bring up very valid points like would I be

155
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: surprised if if Peter arms around, goes too hard in

156
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: spring training and like strains and oblique because he runs

157
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: into a wall.

158
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: No, but that was I guess part of the thing

159
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 2: with Balinger too though, So I mean he always get

160
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: banged up as well the way he plays.

161
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: But you have, like you have to eventually like find

162
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: a way to get those guys in right or guess

163
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: you're creating them. So so I think like that's it's

164
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: it's fair to want like it's fair to look at

165
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: them as depth now. And I think it great you

166
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: have at least some sort of path for some of

167
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: these guys to get into the game and and and

168
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: help this team.

169
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 4: This holiday season. I want to give a gift to

170
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 4: my loved ones that makes them feel special and unique.

171
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 4: That gift is story worth.

172
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 5: Here's how it works. Each week story Worth emails your

173
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 5: loved one a thought provoking question that you get to

174
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 5: help pick things like what's the bravest thing You've ever done?

175
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 5: And what's the farthest you've ever traveled. All your loved

176
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 5: one needs to do is respond with a story, long

177
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 5: or short, it doesn't matter. After that year of fun,

178
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 5: story Worth compiles those stories and photos into a beautiful

179
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 5: keepsake hardcover book that you'll be able to share and

180
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,120

181
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 5: to pass along at family gatherings or read with your kids.

182
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 5: It is beautifully orchestrated by story Worth, and that's why

192
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: Obviously, what makes Bell and You're expendable is Kyle Tucker.

193
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker, we finally got to talk to him Tuesday.

194
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: We talked to Jed on Tuesday. There was Kyle Tucker

195
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: extension talk, right, you know, Jed. Jed kind of pushed

196
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: that to the side, you know, always willing to talk.

197
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: Same with Kyle Tucker. I'm willing to talk. I don't know.

198
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't think we're getting at Kyle Tucker extension anytime soon.

199
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: I don't think I appreciate Kyle Tucker saying what he said.

200
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, he's open to listening. If you pay

201
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: him open market value, like like, okay, go above and

202
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: beyond and give him that deal, maybe he'll listen. Even then,

203
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: I think it's like, we don't know what open market

204
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: value is because a year from now, if he has

205
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: a monster season, like, there is going to be a

206
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: bidding war. So I think these types of players bet

207
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: on themselves. But he said the right things. He didn't say, no,

208
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about this city. I don't know

209
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: anything about this team. What if we stink I don't

210
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: want to be here. Right. He's not gonna say that

211
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: because he's not an idiot, but he he cracked open

212
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: the door for the optimists. I guess yeah.

213
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: He definitely had the talking points down, and his agency,

214
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: EXL Sports Management, negotiated leieve the two biggest deals in

215
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: franchise history in Jason Hayward and Dansby Swanson. Okay, however,

216
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: if you combine those two deals, the values like three

217
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty one dollars and do you think that

218
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: do you think do you think I would get it done?

219
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 3: Does it have to? Is he gonna shoot for a four?

220
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean?

221
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: And those two deals combined were the length of are

222
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: the like Juan Soto's entire contract?

223
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: So I think in a pre Soto.

224
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: World there's probably a little more a bit more credibili

225
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: in that, I know, Excel maybe a little more flexible

226
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: than say Boris Corp.

227
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: But like, how did Dansby Swanson get paid?

228
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: It was by leaving his hometown team and testing the

229
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: market and finding a team that was way more desperate

230
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: than the Braves. Jason Hayward obviously played it out so

231
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: that he would reach free agency at a very prime age.

232
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: He left his hometown team and kind of, you know,

233
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: you know, we should go back and look at what

234
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: Jason Hayward's quotes were when he was first traded to

235
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: the Cardinals, because I'd imagine it was somewhat similar of,

236
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 2: you know, great franchise, you know, excited to win.

237
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: I'm open, we'll see what happens.

238
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: And you know, the Cubs what didn't even make the

239
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: highest offer and you know, still got the player. It was,

240
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: you know, similar ballparks or whatever.

241
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think this will be.

242
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: An ongoing storyline with a very predictable ending. And I

243
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: think you know, you can't judge everything off of Zoom,

244
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: but from what you know, you and I have both

245
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: heard about Tucker.

246
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: He's pretty down to earth, low key.

247
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: Guy that I don't think there's going to be a

248
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 2: whole lot of uh drama surrounding him.

249
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: He just knows he's got to be right numbers right,

250
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: Is that?

251
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah? Yeah, I've heard the saying. I

252
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to do any posturing in the media,

253
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: pushing for an extension or saying like or even openly

254
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: saying like, I don't want to sign. I want to

255
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: hit free agency and make all the money I can.

256
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: It just doesn't seem like from everything I've heard and

257
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: even listening to him, he's not going to give us

258
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: a splashy headline with his quotes, and that's fine. You know,

259
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: it's it's a bummer for us. I don't think the

260
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: fans care, nor should you go like you you want

261
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: him to perform, right, I get that. Uh, that's that's

262
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: kind of he fits into this clubhouse. I mean, how

263
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: many of these guys are going to give us this huge,

264
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: splashy headline. Uh, it rarely happens in that clubhouse. I

265
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: think Council, even with his dry sense of humor, is

266
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: the only one that's that that on occasion will give

267
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: us a headline. There. We got to build ninety one teams, right.

268
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: Uh but yeah, he you know, it's it's exciting that

269
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: the Cubs made this move. I think there is a

270
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: sense of fear among the fan base that it's won

271
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: and done.

272
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 5: Uh.

273
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: You know, I'm very like, I don't think like there's

274
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: going to be a change in tenor and so an

275
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: extension happens. Uh. I just can't rule it out because

276
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: I've been surprised so much in baseball before. No matter

277
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: what I hear things, shiit, I just like, it just

278
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: does not seem like this is leading to that.

279
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

280
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: You know, fans are going to cling to what he said.

281
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: I think I think the optimist will cling to what

282
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: he said. I think realists kind of know this guy's

283
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: hitting free agency. The question becomes, how does Jed Hoyer

284
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: react if Jed Hoyer is still around? I guess depending

285
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: on what type of season the Cubs have. And I

286
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: guess we can get into.

287
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: As your question on the zoom yes, one of your

288
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: questions on the video conference.

289
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: Right, and and you know, I'm not I think it's

290
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: a very obvious question. I don't think I was coming

291
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: up with anything crazy here by Yeah, yeah, you go

292
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: get a great player. I understand all the reasons why

293
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: you make this move, but it is fair to wonder

294
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: Jed Hoyer's contract is up at the end of this season.

295
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: Do they have to make moves to save your jobs?

296
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: You know, like the whole front office is under the

297
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: microscope right now. It's no longer nobody's blaming David Ross.

298
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: Nobody's blaming you know. I mean you can, I think

299
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: you can put blame on the players at times. But also,

300
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: Jed Hoyer built this team. There's no superstar and now

301
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: there is. Okay, he went and got that big thing

302
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: that we were all complaining to him about how many

303
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: times did he mention that during the presser, like, we've

304
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: talked about this a lot, we talked about this this player.

305
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: You guys have asked me a lot about this type

306
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: of player. And he said, no, this is not a

307
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: move that has anything to do with his job. He's

308
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: looking at how to make this team better. I didn't

309
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: expect anything else, right, I wasn't expecting to say, like

310
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: I got a the clock is ticking time for me

311
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: to make some moves otherwise I'm out of here. You know,

312
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: the Cub's best in don't matter. It's how do I

313
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: save my ass? He'd never say that. I understand that.

314
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: I just needed to ask him that, and I thought

315
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: his answer was fair and and pretty accurate. I you know,

316
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: I tweeted it out this morning and some people said, like,

317
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: what do you expect him to say? Or or also like,

318
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, he's never made a move like this. Obviously

319
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: it's it's to save his job. Look it. Maybe it

320
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: like he, like I said, he's not gonna come out

321
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: and say that. I don't expect him to. And it

322
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: may maybe it had some part in it, But I

323
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: also think you can't say he's never made.

324
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 5: A move like this.

325
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: This has to be like I don't think you have

326
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: to connect it to He also has never made a

327
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: move like this because the team wasn't set up to

328
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: in his mind, to be good enough to justify a

329
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: move like this, and the system wasn't set up like

330
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: I I thought. An underrated part of the press conferences

331
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: was listen, it's a little over the top, you know,

332
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: to to like when when he goes out and praises

333
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: everyone in the organization, When when the team hasn't made

334
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs in so long, but they did a good

335
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: job setting themselves up to be in this situation. They

336
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: like people. I don't think people fully understand not only

337
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: were like not only may have they not been willing

338
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: to make some of these moves in the past. The

339
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: organization was not set up, the farm system wasn't good enough.

340
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: The major league team didn't have a player like Easak

341
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: Paradas that they'd be willing to move that was valuable out,

342
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, to other teams. Jed pointed out that Houston

343
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: called them before the trade deadline after they acquired Paradas,

344
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: asking about him if they could still get them like

345
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: they had desirable players both on the major league roster

346
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: and in the minor league system. It just hasn't been

347
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: the case they've drafted well despite only having one top

348
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: ten draft pick in the past, since they kind of

349
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: sold off the core right card, right yeah, right, yeah,

350
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: done a good job there, Like this is that's the reality.

351
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: They were in position to make a move like this.

352
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: It made sense. Yes, I also think it's hard not

353
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: to wonder despite what he says, like these guys are

354
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: fighting for their job. But I also think it's it's

355
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: the right move, you know, like, well, you can't sit

356
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: on prospects all day all your life like it. Eventually

357
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: this is not the race, right, They're not. Like at

358
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: least we criticize them so much for behaving like the

359
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: Guardians and the Rays and the Brewers. This is not

360
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: a Guardian's raised Brewers move. So I think they deserve

361
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: at least the credit for like just go out there

362
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: and do something to like make this team better immediately

363
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: that like obviously makes the team better. And they did that.

364
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: So if it's to save his job or not, I

365
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: like the move, right, Yeah, I think.

366
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 3: It's totally disingenuous.

367
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: It would be for us to say, oh, the Cubs

368
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 2: need to start and constantly point out how they don't

369
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: have that guy, and then when they go do it,

370
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, but you gave up Cam Smith, someone who, like,

371
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, raise your hand if you've ever seen

372
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 2: Cam Smith play, right, Okay, he might be really good

373
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: in twenty thirty or he might not. I mean, these

374
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 2: players we've seen it. I think kind of on the

375
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 2: front end of our kind of professional career. We got

376
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 2: to see that build up to twenty sixteen and then

377
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: how it cratered. And I think it's hard to not

378
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: keep that in your head of like players have moments

379
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 2: like it's very rare to have like those guys that

380
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: just go off and have a really sturdy tenure career.

381
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: And so you know, best of luck to Cam Smith.

382
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 2: I would encourage our listeners to read Chandler Rome's interview

383
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: with Cam Smith on the Athletic. Chandler's our teammate both

384
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: on the Athletic and here in the Territory Network, and

385
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: I thought it was a really insightful look at Cam Smith,

386
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 2: and you know how he's excited for his opportunity and

387
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: so sure Jed is aware that the Cubs haven't won

388
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 2: a playoff game in quite some time. I think he's

389
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: generally aware of some of the discourse out there. But

390
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 2: to your point side, this is just a natural outgrowth

391
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: of what they've been building towards for years and so.

392
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 3: I think we've talked about this before.

393
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 2: I think we forgot to include in one of our

394
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 2: recent stories on the athletic But the problem wasn't trading

395
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 2: Dylan c Snela Jimenez. It was not having more there

396
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: there of like giving you the options. And you know,

397
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: I think Jed should get some credit for a roster

398
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 2: that when we went to the GM meetings looked pretty

399
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: stuck between Ballinger's salary and then no trade clauses and

400
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: stuff like that, to where they have created some new

401
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: opportunities here.

402
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 3: Both for the young guys like you mentioned and as

403
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 3: well as like all the stuff that's to come. As

404
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 3: he said, we're not done.

405
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: Right right, and you're right, I think we are hard

406
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: on them deservedly so. They haven't made the playoffs in

407
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: a full season since twenty eighteen. It at times has

408
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: looked like the roster was stuck, or that they weren't

409
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: being aggressive enough. We have to give them credit when

410
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: they when they prove us wrong or just do the

411
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: things that we've been asking them to do right, like

412
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: they were creative. They've been creative for the past year,

413
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: I'd say, right from the Michael Bush trades to the

414
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: east OC creators trade. Yeah, Kyle Tucker trade. If you

415
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: want to maybe it's maybe it's not creative, Maybe it's obvious, right,

416
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: go get good better players, Go get good players. But

417
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: it's but it's opportunistic and aggressive. And these are the

418
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: types of words I've been writing in my stories same

419
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: as you like. I've used these words because we've demanded

420
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: it like time to behave like a real team. Are

421
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: they spending three hundred million dollars? No? Are they spending

422
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: the way we expect them to? Not yet, No, I

423
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: don't see it. We haven't seen it. But Jed Hoyer,

424
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: Carter Hawkins in this front office are behaving in a

425
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: manner that is you know, that shows that there's a

426
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: sense of urgency finding ways to make the team better

427
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 1: and getting impact talent. And you're right there there There

428
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: will be more. Uh. Jed Hoyer was clear about that.

429
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: I think, uh, we'll see, like what, well, we'll talk

430
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: more about that. Maybe by the time we record another podcast.

431
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: We'll actually have another move to talk about, because that's

432
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: how rapid fire this has happened, and it's you know,

433
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: I think people joke about it, but people like to

434
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: get their work done, A lot of their work done

435
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: before Christmas. They do. They don't want to be sitting

436
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: at Christmas dinner and suddenly they're firing rough text you know. Uh,

437
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: we've heard from front office people that you know, the

438
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: families don't love, uh love the activity during the holidays.

439
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: So so we'll we'll see what happens before this weekends.

440
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: We'll we'll have another podcast for you before this weekends.

441
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: Perhaps there's another big move or two. Uh, They're they're going,

442
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: like I would be shocked if they don't spend the money,

443
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: you know that they just saved. If they don't spend

444
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: the money. That criticism I was just talking about is

445
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: coming back in full force right where we're not going

446
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: to sit on our hands and be like, oh, yeah,

447
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: of course, yeah, but but yeah, this this team is

448
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: not finished. I think they're a better team and they're

449
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: headed to being perhaps a much better team than they

450
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: were last year. And I think i'd love to hear

451
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: from Craig counsel. We won't hear from him, probably until

452
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: until Cubs convention. But I think he has to be happy,

453
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: right like he he he made statements. They weren't these

454
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: planned out statements, but they were pointed right and and

455
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: and he was just speaking his his the truth, how

456
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: he felt about things. And I think this is a

457
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: better team now. So got some action, got some behavior

458
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: that I believe we all needed to see from this organization.

459
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: And we'll see, we'll see what's next. Thanks so much
