1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Just wanted to cook at chel. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. I am here 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 2: tonight with MLB content creator extraordinaire Robbie Hyde, who is 4 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 2: unfortunately donned himself in Red Sox gear. We got a 5 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 2: little bit of a rivalry night here. But don't hold 6 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: that against him. Don't hold that against him. 7 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 3: How's it going on. 8 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 4: We're doing good, man, We're doing good now. I you know, 9 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 4: over the years since I've you know, done a channel 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 4: of mine and you know, been kind of going through 11 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 4: all of it over baseball for the last four and 12 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 4: a half five years, the one thing I've consistently gone 13 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 4: was praise from Yankee fans, believe it or not, because 14 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 4: I really try to look at things as down the 15 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 4: middle as I can. 16 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 3: Believe it or not. 17 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 4: My best friend, who I basically grew up with, is 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 4: a massive Yankee fan. He's a Bernie Williams lover. So 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 4: we we lived together at one point. So I think 20 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 4: having that friendship with him over the years, it's kind 21 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 4: of made me not just respect the Yankees more over 22 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 4: the years, but it's kind of forced me to look 23 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 4: at things down in the middle because he is the 24 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 4: same way, right, He'll say to me all the time, like, 25 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 4: why are the Red Sox doing anything? What are they doing? 26 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 4: They have the money, go get some star, you know, 27 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 4: So we kind of look at both. We look at 28 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 4: things down the middle. 29 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: So I hear you. 30 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: The best friend at my weddings, best man at my 31 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: wedding was a Red Sox fan, and I dated a 32 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 2: Red Sox. 33 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 3: Fan one time. Natalie Holloway. 34 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: All right, so let's talk a little bit about who's 35 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: out there. You are keeping your ear to the grindstone. 36 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: Obviously you cover all of Major League Baseball. I'm more 37 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: of a Yankees focus channel. But you do have a 38 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: Red Sox podcast, Fenway Faithful, which just launched, so good 39 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: luck with that. But let's talk a little bit about 40 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: some of these names that are out here. Does anyone 41 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: stand out maybe from the free agent list that you 42 00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: think is a good fit for a team. Maybe that's 43 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: in contention with you know, the Yankees, Red Sox, or 44 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: for the Yankees and Red Sox themselves. 45 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 4: You know, I gotta I gotta shred carefully here, right 46 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 4: because we had the full throttle thing last year. Hopefully 47 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 4: that is done over with never coming back, right, But 48 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 4: you know, there have been a lot more positive, a 49 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 4: lot more positive words this offseason for the Red Sox. 50 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 4: They're more aggressive. You're still kind of the interest Kings 51 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 4: until you do something. 52 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 3: They pulled off the. 53 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 4: Big Trayvor Garrett Crochet. But anyway, I don't wanna, I 54 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 4: don't wanna. I never want to sound too greedy as 55 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 4: a Red Sox fan, because you know, it's easy for 56 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 4: me to say, oh, we're gonna get this player, this player. 57 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 4: You know, over the years, I think the Yankees have 58 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: been more like that. The Red Sox have been like 59 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 4: created great points, right so, but you know, I don't 60 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 4: want to get too greedy because you know, again we're 61 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 4: not too far removed from the full throttle. But if 62 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 4: I have my eyes on a few guys here right, 63 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 4: Cordon Burn's right there, they need a clear cut as 64 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 4: at the top of the rotation. Tanner howck good year 65 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 4: for him last year, you know, took a big star forward. 66 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 4: He showed a lot of good things. But really, I 67 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 4: mean you're looking at him more of a two or 68 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 4: maybe a three in a rotation depending on who's in 69 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 4: front of him. But you need a workhorse guy in 70 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 4: Corbin Burns, John Henry over the years. Usually doesn't sign 71 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 4: off on the big money free agents, big money free 72 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 4: agent pitchers out there, minus David Price, but not usually 73 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 4: so I don't know if we're gonna get him or not. 74 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 4: But another guy that I see, Taoscar Hernandez, I think 75 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 4: that is someone that could be realistic. You know, we've 76 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 4: been hearing Dodgers for a while now. The Yankees got 77 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 4: brought up at one point. I think the Red Sox 78 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 4: are a perfect fit for him. He's always hit well 79 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 4: a Famiway Park, big right handed bat for the monster there. 80 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: They need a right handed bat in the lineup. It 81 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 4: makes so much sense. I think out of all these 82 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 4: free agents here, you're probably looking at Taoscar being the 83 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 4: most realistic. Maybe Anthony Sontan dare switch hitter. We'll see 84 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 4: kind of. I don't know. It's gonna be interesting when 85 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 4: it comes to how long of a contract he'll want. 86 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 4: Ta Oscar, I could see the Red Sox maybe, you know, 87 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 4: if it doesn't go past four years, I think they 88 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 4: could maybe see something there. And then if I were 89 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 4: to list off one more guy, I would love it. 90 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 4: Who knows if it happens. Alex Korr would love him 91 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 4: based off of the words that he has said recently. 92 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 4: Alex Bregman, you know, they could use a guy that 93 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 4: could be a bit versatile around the infield. They could 94 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 4: use improvement add defense with third base. Rafael Devers, in 95 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 4: my opinion, is more of a DH Maybe you could 96 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 4: do with Kevin Nucleus, kind of a thing where you 97 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 4: stick him at first base. 98 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 3: We'll see. 99 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 4: But in the end, you know, I think the Red 100 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 4: Sox there's definitely free agency here that'll make them better. 101 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 4: Will they spend I don't know. 102 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: I can't see anyone else in our division adding Corbin Burns. 103 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: I don't think he's going back to Baltimore. Nobody wants 104 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: to play in Canada. Rays are obviously out on it. 105 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: So you know, the UH Red Sox probably the biggest 106 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: threat there. I don't think the Yankees are in on him. 107 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: I've heard that San Francisco could be a good fit. 108 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: Rosenthal seems to think that's where he's headed. I guess 109 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 2: with Susan Slusster was on foul Territory today, she was 110 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: basically hinting at that being a good matchup. You know, 111 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 2: apparently he's got a house in Arizona, likes it out west, 112 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 2: but He would be a pain in the ass to 113 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: have in the division for even longer because he was 114 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: tough this year. You know, Jack Flaherty could be a 115 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 2: good good fit for you guys. Ta Oscar Hernandez I 116 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: like that idea for you guys. Obviously, the Dodgers want 117 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: to bring him back. I figured that when they missed 118 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: out on Soda, you would hear about tay Oscar re 119 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 2: signing right away. He never did. But you talk about 120 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: a guy who's tailor made for Fenway with that swing. 121 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: What's the thought on Roki Sazaki with you guys. Have 122 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: you guys been linked with him at all? 123 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 4: I think, you know, you always have that link with 124 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 4: the guys from Japan coming over because you know, we 125 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 4: had dice k Mania way back when. You know, we've 126 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 4: had hedeck Yo Kujima koji Uehara before, so you're always 127 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 4: gonna have that connection. My same thing with the Yankees, 128 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 4: right They've brought in guys from Japan before that have 129 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 4: been successful. So I feel like Red Sox Yankees are 130 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 4: always going to be connected with the guys from Japan 131 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 4: no matter what we'll see. You know, we've been seeing 132 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 4: some things with you know, Roki in his possible market, 133 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 4: maybe he's more of a mid market kind of a guy, 134 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 4: small market. Honestly, I've been kind of thinking that way 135 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 4: the entire time. You know, as someone he's the age 136 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 4: of a you know, a guy that's in you know 137 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 4: what double A. He's obviously so good, he'll be at 138 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 4: the major league level when he comes over, but you know, 139 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 4: he's so young. So I could imagine this is a 140 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 4: guy where you know, he maybe goes to a bit 141 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 4: of a lesser market. Otani went to the Angels instead 142 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 4: of a team like the Dodgers. I know they had 143 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 4: the whole DH thing, but you know, he didn't go 144 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 4: to the Yankees or anything like that. So I wonder 145 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 4: if Roki maybe takes a bit of a step back 146 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 4: when it comes to the market. Could you see him 147 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 4: maybe go to a team like the Tigers where they've had, 148 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 4: you know, a bunch of advances with their pitching development 149 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 4: over the last few years. 150 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: Kansas City, I could see something like that. Kansas City. 151 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: I mean, they gave the Yankees a fight in the 152 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 2: Division Series this year. I felt like, yeah, almost every 153 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 2: one of those games could have gone either way at 154 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: one point, and it would terrify me to see him 155 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: and you know, added to that stable. Yeah, so, I 156 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: mean Tanner Scott obviously is an option. The big market teams, 157 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: you're gonna beating on him. I could see him going 158 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: to Boston. I think the Yankees are probably out because 159 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 2: they got Devin Williams unless they're trying to build like 160 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: some kind of Super Bowl pen, but they still need offense, 161 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: so I think, you know, I can't see him going 162 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: to the Oriols. They don't seem to want to spend. 163 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: What is with that they got these new owners and 164 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: they're just not spending. 165 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 4: I guess there was a report recently. You know, you 166 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 4: got people out there that don't really buy it too much, 167 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 4: but it was something from Picture List, where they have 168 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 4: a pretty big following over there. 169 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: They've always put out pretty. 170 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 4: Good content, right, especially when it comes to the analytics, 171 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 4: you know, with pitching and whatnot. But they had an 172 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 4: interesting story over the weekend where supposedly, you know, the 173 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 4: new owner of the Orioles, he has given the green 174 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 4: light to spend, but Michael Aias I guess, doesn't really 175 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 4: seem to want to according to the sources that they've 176 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 4: been talking to. 177 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 3: You know, who knows. 178 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 4: Everyone's been really tough on sources over the last couple 179 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 4: of years, and rightfully so. Because Otani was on a plane, 180 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 4: Soto was looking at apartments in Boston, some guy named Mick, 181 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 4: Who the heck is Mick? You know, playing a bit 182 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 4: of a bit for his podcast, you know, so I 183 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 4: get it people people are questionable for you know, these reports. 184 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 4: But that's an interesting one. If you go to that, 185 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 4: it's on picture list. There's a lot of very small details, right, 186 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 4: It's it's like, whoa how would you make that up? 187 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 5: Right? 188 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 4: You know, saying where michaelias he wants to build something 189 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 4: from the ground up, where he wants to prove to 190 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 4: people where he doesn't have to buy a world series 191 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 4: that he can build it with development. 192 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 6: Right. 193 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, So very interesting article, you know, of No, if 194 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 4: you don't want to believe it, I'm I think that's fair. 195 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 4: But it's interesting because you know, they got Tyler O'Neal, 196 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 4: But where is Corbin Burns? You know, I thought that 197 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 4: was a slam dunk, like to bring him back, you know, like, 198 00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 4: but who knows? 199 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: One other domino that we haven't seen fall yet that 200 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: I think could lead to some other pieces phone into places. 201 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 2: Christian Walker, Texas was supposedly interested in him. I think 202 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: that would open up a market for Nathan Lowe that 203 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 2: the Yankees would be interested in. I've seen a number 204 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: of teams into the Mariners were apparently interested in Walker. 205 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: Have you heard anything? Is there a do you have 206 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 2: a favorite in mind for Walker? 207 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 4: I think with the Mariners, the thing that's going on 208 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 4: with them, Alex Spear of the Boston Globe, he's been 209 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 4: pretty plugged in with everything going on with the Red 210 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 4: Sox and the Mariners talking some trade lately. Right Louis 211 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 4: Castillo's popped up. I guess the Red Sox have been 212 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 4: poking them about maybe Bryce Miller or Brian who I've 213 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 4: been wanting to come to the Red Sox for over 214 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 4: a year now. I think those guys would be perfect, 215 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 4: But the Mariners don't want to give up pitching, so 216 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 4: I don't know, but it looks like, look, Luis Castillo, 217 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 4: who is owed with the vesting option if you'd count that, 218 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 4: or nearer one hundred million dollars over the next four years. 219 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 3: So the thing is with. 220 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 4: The Mariners as they're looking to maybe move that so 221 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 4: they can go after someone like a Christian Walker, right 222 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 4: pitcher friendly Park. They could use a power guy there. 223 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 4: A right handed power bat would make a lot of sense. 224 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 4: But I think other things have to happen with the 225 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 4: Mariners for them to go after someone like Walker or 226 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 4: maybe Pete Alonso. 227 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 3: I don't know. 228 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 4: It seems like Walker would probably be the more appropriate 229 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 4: fit for them money wise, but uh, you know, the 230 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 4: Nationals have been plugged in a little bit with Christian Walker. 231 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 4: I've been thinking here with the Nationals, right, I think 232 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 4: either Alonso or Walker would be perfect for them. Right 233 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 4: They're about to maybe put their toe into a competitive 234 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 4: window and got some young players. Think a good veteran 235 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: guy like one of them would be perfect. They need power, 236 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 4: so I could see the Nationals maybe coming in. 237 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. 238 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 4: The Pirates would be perfect for Christian Walker, but they're 239 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 4: not gonna spend money, right, He's a Pittsburgh guy. They 240 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 4: need a first baseman perfect, but that's not gonna happen. 241 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 4: So in my opinion, I feel I think the Yankees 242 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 4: could make a lot of sense. I do want to 243 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 4: ask you your opinion about the first base option with 244 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 4: the Yankees, because you got ben Rice dj Le, may 245 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 4: you I don't know. How do you feel about that? 246 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 4: I feel like Walker would be a great fit for them. 247 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 4: But what's gonna happen with DJ? Ben Rice there? 248 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 2: Well, DJ, I think is finished. It'll surprise me if 249 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: he makes it out of spring training next year and 250 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: makes the team. He's just he's been awful since he's 251 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 2: started having foot injuries. I mean, it's just completely altered 252 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: his swing. He's got no thump anymore. Ben Rice has 253 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: a good swing, but he's also got a couple of 254 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 2: gigantic holes in his swing which were exposed this year. 255 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: He's also kind of a novice at first base. I 256 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 2: like Christian Walker's peripherals, you know, everything that I've looked 257 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 2: at highlight wise, he looks great. But we even burned 258 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: by too many guys at thirty four or thirty five 259 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 2: years old. You know, you know Beltran McCann and then 260 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 2: you know, to shaa ay rot all these guys. DJ, 261 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: I just want to stay away from signing anyone who's 262 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 2: a bit too old. I really like Cody Bellinger, who's 263 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: been you know, in the news a little bit. I 264 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 2: like him for first base, yeah, but I also like 265 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: him in the outfield. 266 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 3: He could play two positions. 267 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: I'd have no problem, you know, plugging him in left 268 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 2: field or at first base, but I think I'd rather 269 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: go with an established, established bat over there. 270 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 3: But it might they might be stuck with Ben. 271 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: Rice if they signed Bellinger are unable to add a 272 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: different first basem, and then you go with Rice, and 273 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 2: I just hope that he hits uh, you know. Other 274 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 2: than that, I mean, I haven't heard much about Walker. 275 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 2: It's just kind of one of those pieces that you know, 276 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: I think once he settles in, you're gonna see see 277 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 2: some pieces move. Let's talk a little bit about trade 278 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 2: candidates because we've got a lot of names here. Aeronauto, 279 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 2: what's the latest you're hearing on him? 280 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 4: Well, we have been getting kind of Alex Spear, like 281 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 4: I said, has been plugged him with the Mariners. Sean 282 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 4: McCadam of Mass Live. He's been diving in a little 283 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 4: bit more, it seems with the Cardinals front, where Aeronato 284 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 4: is consistently a name that comes up with his articles 285 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 4: that he puts out the latest for the Red Sox 286 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 4: and Aeronato, well, we heard the Astros rumor not too 287 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 4: long ago, and uh where that what was that? A 288 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 4: few days ago? Where like maybe that was getting serious, 289 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 4: but then everything went cold. By the way, everything was 290 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 4: as cold today, like. 291 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 3: There was no news. 292 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 4: I was just dead that today, Like it was awful, 293 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 4: Like I was sitting around just staring at my phone 294 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 4: and nothing happened anyway. But Aeronatto supposedly the Red Sox 295 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 4: have been discussing him as maybe an option at first base, 296 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 4: which I think is ridiculous. The only thing I think 297 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 4: that could even be true with that is more he's 298 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 4: like a backup at first base. If they did acquire him, 299 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 4: he would be like the second option on the depth chart. 300 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 4: Where because I I'm getting the feeling because you're consistently 301 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 4: hearing the idea of Raffi moving off a third base, right, Uh, 302 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 4: that has just been a It's been coming up a lot, right. 303 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 4: Tristan Cassas has come up a lot in trade rumors, 304 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 4: not just this offseason, but it feels like every off 305 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 4: season Cassus is popping up, Right. He popped up a 306 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 4: couple of years ago with the Marlins, and now it's 307 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 4: it seems like every week he's popping up. So I'm 308 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 4: getting the idea that maybe the Red Sox really want 309 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 4: to try and use Kassas as a trade piece to 310 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 4: get some pitching, and they probably think Raffi, like I 311 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 4: said earlier, can be someone like Kevin Euclus Yankee legend, 312 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 4: Kevin Nuclis my goodness. Yeah, but he can move over 313 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 4: to first Maybe Korra loves versatility, he loves guys that 314 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 4: can move around, and he probably, in my opinion, kor 315 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 4: was a guy that played everywhere, so he probably thinks 316 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 4: Rafi can do it no problem. 317 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 3: So I don't know. 318 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 4: I guess there hasn't been a conversation. But Eronatto, in 319 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 4: my opinion, would be more of a backup at first base, 320 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 4: you know, if you needed him there for a day 321 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 4: or two or whatever. 322 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 3: You know, I don't know. 323 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: I think he wants to play every day. But speaking 324 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 2: of Tristan Casas, I mean, twenty four years old, gonna 325 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: be twenty five soon, six five, two forty four. Yeah, 326 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 2: that kind of swing plays well at Yankee Stadium. Too bad, 327 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: we're not the GMS. We could swing a little sing 328 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 2: a little dil a reno here, Luis Ariaz. We're hearing 329 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: more about him on the trade market. I'm not like 330 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: blown away by and I know a lot of people 331 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: love the batting average, and they hear the batting title 332 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: this and and and you know three next Tony gwyn that, 333 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 2: but he doesn't do anything else. 334 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 3: Well, he can't feel. I have a friend who's a 335 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 3: Padres fan. He was. 336 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: He would text me all the time like, this guy's 337 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 2: a trojious on defense. He ended up dhing a lot. 338 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 2: I just where to see him going. Do you think 339 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 2: the Padres are gonna hang on to him? Think they're 340 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: gonna move him? Supposedly, they're kind of, you know, put 341 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: him out there to make him, make him available. 342 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 4: The only team really anytime I think second base, I 343 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 4: think the Mariners. Honestly, I think he would be perfect 344 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 4: for that lineup. I think they need a guy that 345 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 4: can just get on base, make a ton of contact. 346 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 4: That's that doesn't strike out that he is the perfect 347 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 4: guy for the Mariners in my opinion, Labor. 348 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 2: Torres, that's that's your guy. I've been saying he needs 349 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: to I wonder. 350 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 4: Where Labor is gonna go. That's an interesting one. 351 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 3: I heard that. 352 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 4: I guess he popped up as a third base off 353 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 4: the Nationals, and that's yeah, yeah, I can't see he 354 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 4: was unwilling to go to third when the Yankees traded 355 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 4: for Jazz Chisholm, So, you know, I think he just 356 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 4: wants to play second base. 357 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: I think the Mariners could be a good fit for him. 358 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: But yeah, I agree with the Luisa rise. You put 359 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: him in Seattle with that big park, probably hit three 360 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 2: point fifty Luis Castillo on the market today. That's interesting. 361 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 2: Yandy Diaz, I think he's probably gonna get moved. I 362 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: could see Yanni Diaz going to Boston. 363 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 3: Honestly. Yeah, oh man, Yeah. 364 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 4: You know again, it really depends do they move Cassus. 365 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 4: That's really what it comes down to again. There, you 366 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 4: know this right, over all the years that we've seen 367 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 4: the rumors with the Yankees and the Red Sox, anytime 368 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 4: there's smoke, there's usually something to it, right, usually see 369 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 4: something happen. We'll see if anything happens with Casus. But yeah, 370 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 4: I could see Yandy maybe being a guy. Possibly, we'll see. 371 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 4: I think for the Red Sox they really would like 372 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 4: to add a power bat from the right side, you know, Yandy. 373 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 4: They could probably get a bit of pop out of him. 374 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 4: I'd be okay with that, honestly, we'll see. 375 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about Juan Soto because you 376 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 2: mentioned it. The Red Sox were in on Juan Soto. 377 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 2: Apparently he was a big priority. There was for two 378 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: or three days there. Like you said, there was some smoke, 379 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 2: there was some chatter, and it seemed like it could 380 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: be real. I'm not gonna lie. I was sweating it 381 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 2: a little bit. I would much rather he went to 382 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 2: the Mets than the Red Sox because I think he 383 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 2: would have absolutely destroyed Fenway Park with that wall and 384 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 2: the way he hits the ball. The other way it 385 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 2: would have I mean, he really would have hit three 386 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 2: sixty with about forty five home runs a year, like 387 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: it would have been insane. But he HiT's pretty well 388 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 2: in city field, and he's getting paid a lot of money. 389 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 2: He's getting paid I think too much money for even 390 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 2: a generational type of hitter, great hitter as he is. 391 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: I think we both dodged a bullet. Your thoughts. 392 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say for the Red Sox, they weren't 393 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 4: even they weren't even supposed to be in it, you 394 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like that they were like coming 395 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 4: into the offseason. Top got top bat on my list 396 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 4: was ta Oscar So Soto came up. I'm like, oh, okay, 397 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,959 Speaker 4: what is this. Okay, I'm excited all of a sudden. 398 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 4: But I would say for the Red Sox, I would 399 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 4: say it's probably somewhere in the middle where they could 400 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 4: have dodged a bullet, but maybe they could have also 401 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 4: used him as well, because I felt like they do 402 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 4: need a guy right, a face, you know, someone that 403 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 4: you can market, someone that you can Raffi doesn't want 404 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 4: to be that guy, right. Raffi has always been more reserved. 405 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 4: I would say he likes to plait an ice cream 406 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 4: cone after the game, and he likes to kind of 407 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 4: keep to himself a little bit. That's just how he's 408 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 4: always been. 409 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 6: You know. 410 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 4: Alex Korra has tried to push that with him, but 411 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 4: you know, doesn't really see himself that way. 412 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 3: I think Sodo. 413 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 4: Would have been a really cool addition. It's very possible 414 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 4: that at the end of that deal probably wouldn't have 415 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 4: been great. You know, that's probably how it would go anywhere. 416 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 4: I would say for the Yankees, you know, I could 417 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 4: see the argument there too, where they could they dodge 418 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 4: the bullet. Would have been great to have him around, 419 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 4: but you always think of the back end. You know, 420 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 4: it's tough. I think the Yankees more so probably dodged 421 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 4: a bullet than the Red Sox. Is the Red Sox 422 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 4: I think needed him someone like him more, if that 423 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 4: makes sense. 424 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean as great as it would have 425 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 2: been to continue to watch that tandem, and it was, 426 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 2: it was an unbelievable tandem to watch him and Aaron 427 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 2: Judge all year. Ninety nine home runs combined, Sodo walking Judge. 428 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 2: It in a two run shot in the first inning, 429 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: happened about eighteen times. 430 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 3: It was crazy. 431 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 2: But you have to fix the roster in multiple areas, right, 432 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 2: I mean, even if you commit forty seven million dollars 433 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 2: to this guy, there's no way you pick up a 434 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 2: Max Freed. You probably don't pick up a Devin Williams. 435 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: I mean there's other guys that you need. And look, 436 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: the Dodgers just proved that you can win a World 437 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 2: Series without Jan Soto on your team. Right, if you 438 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 2: have a really well built roster, you bees exactly So. 439 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 2: By the way, just some breaking news to Oscar Hernandez 440 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: sounds like going back to the Dodgers. According to uh 441 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: Dave Roberts says they're very close to re signing him. 442 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: So oh, standby on that. Hopefully we'll have some news here. 443 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: Unfortunately for the Red Sox. 444 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 4: Well brought up a name, Yeah, brutal, you brought up 445 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 4: a name there. I'm actually I'm wondering what's going on 446 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 4: here with Max Freed. Are we getting a little worried 447 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 4: about a lack of an out announcement here? 448 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 6: Well? 449 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 2: No, no, so, Actually I already's traveling. He's out of 450 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 2: the country and that's why they were having their meetings 451 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: via zoom. He's supposed to return to the country I 452 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 2: think right after Christmas, at which point they're going to 453 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: do you know, all the medicals and stuff. So I 454 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: don't think he's had his medicals yet, and that's why 455 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: everything's been kind. 456 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 3: That's just what I heard. 457 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 2: But yeah, so i'd imagine we'll hear something about that soon. Yankees, 458 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 2: Red Sox. You know, in my opinion, baseball is at 459 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: its best when the Yankees and Red Sox are duking 460 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 2: it out, you know, much more so than the Yankees 461 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: and Orioles. Come on, ninety nine and two thousand and 462 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 2: three and two thousand and four were some of the best, 463 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 2: you know, seasons of my life. Obviously, oh four didn't 464 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 2: go the way. You know, it's a shame they canceled 465 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 2: the series the Alcs after three games. I wish I 466 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 2: could have seen how that ended. But I think baseball 467 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: is better when these two teams are duking it out. 468 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: So let's take a look at the offseason additions here. 469 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: You want to take us through what the Red Sox 470 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: have done so far. 471 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, Garrett Crochet, I mean, that's one of the top 472 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 4: moves of the entire offseason so far. I don't think 473 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 4: that's me being biased. I think a lot of people 474 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 4: can agree with that they needed a guy at the top, right. 475 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 4: I would still love for the Red Sox to go 476 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 4: out and get someone like cordyin Burns. That's a guy 477 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 4: you know you can hand the ball to every fifth day. 478 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 4: You know, Garret Crochet obviously had Tommy John not too 479 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 4: long ago. He didn't have a great second half, but 480 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 4: the stack cast numbers are off the char it's the velocity, 481 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 4: the stuff they needed. As lumberlone, he likes to say, 482 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 4: a pig at the top of the rotation, absolutely a 483 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 4: great move. I think, you know, maybe I am being 484 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 4: a little biased here, but I think Garret Crochet could 485 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 4: be a cy young contender next here. I'm just saying 486 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 4: now an oldest Chapman. I mean, I gotta hear your 487 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 4: thoughts on this one at Chatman for the Red Sox, 488 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 4: this is a it's an interesting Boston reacted very interesting 489 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 4: with this one because of the off the field issues. 490 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 4: But they needed a big lefty at the back end 491 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 4: of the rotation bullpen. But from a pitching standpoint, they 492 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 4: did need someone like a Roldist Chapman. From an off 493 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 4: the field standpoint, it's been you know, it's been interesting 494 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 4: seeing what people have had to say. He's stayed out 495 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 4: of trouble for the last eight years. And I can 496 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 4: say this about the Red Sox. They will do their 497 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 4: homework like ten times right. They will go everywhere. They 498 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 4: will check every nook and cranny to make sure that 499 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 4: you know, for the most part, if a guy has 500 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 4: been doing well after you know, off the field issues 501 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 4: and he's seems like he's in a good place now, 502 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 4: you know, yeah, I say what you will about that before, 503 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,959 Speaker 4: but you know, obviously not great. What happened with him 504 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 4: a long time ago, not good at all, actually, But 505 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 4: you know, but they needed a guy, they needed a 506 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 4: big lefty and they probably just didn't want to spend 507 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 4: the money on Tanners Scott. So it is. 508 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 2: I would say he's still got great stuff. I mean 509 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 2: I watched him this year a few times. He's still 510 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 2: thrown over one hundred miles an hour. I mean, he 511 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 2: can still strike guys out, but in the big moment 512 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 2: he will hang a slider occasionally. And as a lefty 513 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 2: in Fenway, who's he's only getting older, you know, I 514 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 2: could see I could see a couple of tough losses 515 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 2: at the hands of O all this Chapman off the 516 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 2: field stuff. I mean, obviously he's had his issues, but 517 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 2: I mean, like you said, it's been almost a decade now. 518 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 2: Who hasn't grown in the last decade, right, So hopefully 519 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 2: he's just got his life back together. I don't think 520 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 2: it should be, uh, you know, death penalty to have, 521 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: you know, slight indiscretions that that you know, you serve 522 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: the penalty for and then you're back on the field, 523 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 2: and if you screw up again, there's more penalties, right, 524 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 2: and they're worse. So he's done a good job for 525 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 2: his nose Queen. The one thing I didn't like about 526 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: his ten years the way it ended. There was a 527 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 2: optional team practiced or not, there was a mandatory team practice. 528 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, and a Ralas Chatman did not have a 529 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 2: secured spot on the postseason roster because he had a 530 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 2: tough second half and so forth. Yeah, and so he 531 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 2: just skipped the practice. He said, if you're not going 532 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 2: to guarantee me a spot on the roster, I'm not 533 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 2: going which to me, I mean, that was the end 534 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: of the line with him as a Yankee. He was 535 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 2: not renewed, obviously, and I just felt like that was 536 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 2: a very selfish thing. It's like, you know, everybody else 537 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 2: had to earn it. You obviously had a bad second half. 538 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 2: Come earn it, you know, And you know that's just 539 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 2: kind of where I sat with that. But I look, 540 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: Yankees and Red Sox, we need them to compete next 541 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 2: year and get rid of these pesky orioles. Let's talk 542 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 2: a little bit about the Al East. We went through 543 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 2: the oriols there supposedly you know, able to spend, but 544 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 2: not doing it. Blue Jays, have you heard much about 545 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 2: this this contract situation with Laddie. I mean, it sounds 546 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 2: like they've they've made him some some pretty big offers 547 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 2: and he's, uh, he's kind of standing Pat. I don't 548 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 2: blame him given what Soto just did. I mean, he's 549 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 2: gonna get a big, big, big, big pay day somewhere. 550 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on the Blue Jays this year? 551 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 4: It's so interesting, right because you know they already had 552 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 4: to battle the aspect of just being in a different country. Right, 553 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 4: But if you go back a few years ago, you know, 554 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 4: when they've landed some of these guys like Gosman the Springer, 555 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 4: you know, they were at a better place. Farm was 556 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 4: looking good. You had guys like Vladdie Bo you know, 557 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 4: coming off very good seasons, looking very promising for their future. 558 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 4: Things are looking good for the Blue Jays, you remember, 559 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 4: I mean everyone was starting to crown the Blue Jays 560 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 4: already the off season World Series champions. Things are looking 561 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 4: very bright for Toronto at one point, but the farm 562 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 4: has regressed. You know, got like Ricky Tiedeman was their 563 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 4: top pitching prospect. He ended up getting Tommy John or whatever. 564 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 4: I can't remember if it was Tommy John or the 565 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 4: brace surgery, I can't remember, but he went down. You know, 566 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 4: things have just not been going. 567 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 3: Great, right. 568 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 4: They've stagnated, right this past year under five hungred Boba 569 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 4: Schett had a very down year, a lot of injuries, 570 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 4: so it's they're already they were already battling that, the 571 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 4: fact that guys had to move to a different country 572 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 4: to go play there. But now things aren't looking all 573 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 4: that great. So I'm not surprised to see that someone 574 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 4: like cordyin Burns or even Moan Soto had mega offers 575 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 4: and they're like, you know, we'll probably rather play somewhere else. 576 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,199 Speaker 3: Right, I don't know. 577 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 4: The Blue Jays, it's interesting, I don't know. You know, 578 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 4: they just had to make a trade for Andre Semenez 579 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 4: where you know, they had to go make a trade 580 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,719 Speaker 4: like that, They had to take on a lot of 581 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 4: that contract. They did not do very well in that 582 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 4: trade in my opinion, but they kind of have to 583 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 4: make moves like that to improve their team. It's kind 584 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 4: of interesting the downfall of the Blue Jays that we've 585 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 4: seen over the last couple of years after they were 586 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 4: just so high up there. 587 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 2: So yeah, if I were the Blue Jays, I would 588 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 2: trade Vlattie because I think he's gonna get Cohen money, 589 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 2: just like Soto did. I think that's why we haven't 590 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 2: seen Pete Alonso re signed. I think that the front 591 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 2: office there saying, hey, if you just wait through this year, 592 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 2: you know, bring in Vlattie next year. 593 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 3: He's still young. And then you've got. 594 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 2: A core of Lindor Soto and Vladimir Guerrero Junior. And 595 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 2: that is a nasty, nasty, three headed monster to get 596 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 2: through in that lineup. And we'll see how Vientos is. 597 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 2: He looked like the real deal to me too. But yeah, 598 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 2: ray's gonna be weird seeing them play at Steinbrenner Field. 599 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 2: I am so glad that we don't have to watch 600 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 2: the trop though, honestly, I would rather have it feel 601 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 2: like a spring training game than have it feel like 602 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 2: they're playing in a warehouse. The one thing is gonna 603 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 2: be all the rain. We're gonna get so much rain, 604 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 2: so many, We're gonna probably have four or five rain 605 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: outs this year here. 606 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. 607 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 3: Well, you know, for me, I believe it or not. 608 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 4: As big of a Red Sox fan as I am. 609 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 4: I live in Florida, and I used to live in Massachusetts, 610 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 4: but then my family made me come to Florida. And 611 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 4: you know, it's hot, but it is what it is. 612 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 4: But no, I like living here, but no, it's been 613 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 4: cool because over the years, I've been to Tropicicana a 614 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 4: ton of times. 615 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 3: Right, I actually kind of like. 616 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 4: Tropicana in a way because of ac It's nice. We're 617 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 4: always out in the heat, so when we get to 618 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 4: go sit inside somewhere, I'm like, hey, I'm all about it. Right, 619 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 4: cheap tickets usually, right, So I like Tropic Canna. To 620 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 4: be completely honest, I'm actually kind of sad that I'm 621 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 4: not gonna be I'm done with Tropic Cana. My career 622 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 4: at Tropicana is uh not. It looks to be done now. 623 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 4: I've seen so many games over the years there, so 624 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 4: I mean, I know I'm gonna have to get the 625 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 4: sign Brenner Field this year. Yes, there are definitely beautift outs. Yeah, 626 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 4: I mean I'm excited to go there. I've never gone. 627 00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see. 628 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 4: But the you know, the Rays, they're always making interesting moves. 629 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 4: You know, they're always making the low key moves. You 630 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 4: know they're gonna be just such a pain in the 631 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 4: blot man. 632 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw they just dealt Jeffrey Springs to the 633 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 2: ass are aggressive this year. I think they have raised 634 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 2: the salary so that they wouldn't get like a grievance 635 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 2: filed because they were just basically taking in all this 636 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 2: revenue sharing money and not spending any of it on players. 637 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 4: Could you imagine? Could you imagine? I hate to put 638 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 4: this thought into people's heads. It's probably not gonna happen, 639 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 4: but let's say it does. Could you imagine in some 640 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 4: way somehow the A's the Rays, they pull off just 641 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 4: great seasons and they run into each other in the 642 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 4: division round. Oh man, then you got minor league stadiums 643 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 4: in the playoffs. Amazing. I mean that sarcastic lake. Could 644 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 4: you imagine that? 645 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 6: I can. 646 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 3: It's embarrassing.

All right, let's get to your voicemails here. 688 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 6: Hey, Derek, just calling with the possible trade for the Yankees. 689 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 6: I think it would help both teams. I'm suggesting Stephen 690 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 6: Quan and Kate Smith for Luis Heel and Carrera, the 691 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 6: hid outfielder that we have in tripa A. I think 692 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 6: it would help both teams. We need a left handed 693 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 6: and lead off hitting left fielder and a good relief pitcher, 694 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 6: and they could be potentially getting an All Star or 695 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 6: even a Hall of Fame pitcher, almost like Ryan for Fagocie, 696 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 6: except I'm appreciate we're not getting Fagotie. Let me know 697 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 6: what you think. 698 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 2: I think that's an interesting baseball trade, right, It's a 699 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 2: baseball move. It reminds me of when the Yankees traded 700 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 2: Heyesus Montero to the Mariners from Michael Pineda, a young 701 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 2: catcher the Mariners needed offense. Yankees got a young pitcher 702 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 2: and Paneda, and both of these guys you know as 703 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 2: prospects did not pan out. Paneda injured his labram and 704 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 2: Montero through any cream sandwich at a human being. So 705 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 2: it didn't work out. But I like your creativity. I 706 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 2: can't say that I expect Stephen Kuan to get dealt 707 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 2: and I don't think the Yankees are anxious to trade 708 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 2: Luis Hill just because he was involved in the Kyle 709 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 2: Tucker trade talks. Kyle Tucker is one of those special 710 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 2: talents too, and I think that we got to remove 711 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 2: Nestor from the real here too. I think that Kyle 712 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 2: Tucker is one of those special talents that if you 713 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 2: can get him, you can. But hopefully the Yankees will 714 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 2: be interested in free agency. But love the creative idea. 715 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 8: Hey, Derek ki John, I'm calling from Virginia Beach, Virginia. 716 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 8: A big plan of yours big fans Yankees for the 717 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 8: past pick plus years. I just want to make this 718 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 8: known to all Yankee fans. Our farm system need to 719 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 8: get chances to move up. We got to give those 720 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 8: Olive purrahss in Northern Rest with a young man out 721 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 8: there in the farm. 722 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 6: System a chance, Big Leaves. 723 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 8: We got some good guys down there that need a chance. 724 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 8: The Yankee Ordination organizations is one thing. They can not 725 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 8: give chances to these young kids. Give them a chance. 726 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,760 Speaker 8: Ben Rice had his He makes prose with us, Olga 727 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 8: pros is up and down. Come on, we got to 728 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 8: give these kids a chance. We might have a shiny 729 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 8: star in there somewhere, give him a chance. Come on, Yankee. 730 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying, and I sympathize with you. Look, 731 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,959 Speaker 2: the Yankees are going to give a chance to Jason 732 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 2: Domingez this year. He's probably going to be the opening 733 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 2: day center fielders as the roster stands right now. We 734 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 2: gave a chance to Austin Wells last year. He did great, 735 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 2: although I felt like in the beginning of the year 736 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 2: what you're saying applied. They were slow to trust him 737 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 2: in the first couple of months. But once the injury 738 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 2: to Trevino happened. He took off, you know, and like 739 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 2: you said, they gave him a chance and he did well. 740 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 2: The Garrett Cole injury opened the door for Luis Heel 741 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 2: to get a chance. He wasn't going to be on 742 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 2: the roster if the Yankees a healthy starting five. So 743 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 2: you're right, sometimes guys will step up when the door 744 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 2: presents itself. Is Paraza gonna be one of those guys? 745 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 2: Maybe we'll see, you know, ben Rice, Maybe I do 746 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 2: think that the Yankees are gonna have to use some 747 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 2: youth on this team, and I think it's a good idea. 748 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 2: I'll say this about Parazza. He's very athletic, and he's 749 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 2: got speed, and he picks up the ball on defense. 750 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 2: These are all things that the Yankees need, and we've 751 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 2: seen that he has power. I think that if you 752 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 2: did give him a chance and played him at second base, honestly, 753 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 2: he'd be better at shortstop and I'll be better at 754 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 2: second base. But as somebody who they're skeptical on, you know, 755 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 2: whether or not he can stick, they probably put him 756 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 2: at second or maybe third, and move Jazz to second. 757 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 2: I wouldn't hate it. I wouldn't hate it. I mean, 758 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,760 Speaker 2: at least would be fun to watch a young guy develop, 759 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,359 Speaker 2: and I think he would play well, so good thought. 760 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 5: This is David hey Dark this different from Texas. Again, 761 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 5: what do you think of the idea of Brian Reynolds 762 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 5: in left field and maybe someone like Nolan Ornado for 763 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 5: third base? Because the moves that the Yankees are making 764 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 5: are legit moves like this is like how the team 765 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 5: was when they were like the you know, dynasty teams. 766 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 5: Like all these moves are just making the Yankees so 767 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 5: much better at each position. So I just wanted to 768 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 5: get your take on what do you think about those players? 769 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 5: Those man, I love. 770 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 3: Your show, appreciate it. So Brian Reynolds is not going anywhere. 771 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 3: He's beloved in Pittsburgh. 772 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 2: I believe he just signed a long term extension and 773 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 2: I'm also pretty sure it has a no trade clause. 774 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 3: But he's not going anywhere. 775 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 2: Look, the Yankees when they lost Juan Soto had to 776 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 2: pivot to Plan B, and Plan B obviously involves strengthening 777 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,760 Speaker 2: the run prevention. So far, Max Freed and Devin Williams 778 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 2: love that. I still think they need one more relief 779 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 2: pitching piece. I hope it's Tim Hill. I hope they 780 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 2: bring him back. They brought back Lewiseiga dream Weaver is 781 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 2: going to be excellent, And it wouldn't shock me if 782 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 2: they picked up a couple of under the radar kind 783 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 2: of guys, you know that, you know, like Ian Hamilton was, 784 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 2: or like Luke Weaver was when they picked him up, 785 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 2: or like Clay Holmes when they got him and he 786 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 2: had been struggling. So I look for that type of 787 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 2: move also. And Cody Poteit. I don't think he's been retained. 788 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 2: He's somebody that I could see the Yankees bringing back 789 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 2: for relatively cheap. He gets injured a lot, Clayton beat 790 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 2: her good arm. I could see him being a factor. 791 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 2: So I think the pitching is is pretty close to done. 792 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 2: But they've got to add offense. You've got to replace 793 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 2: I don't know how many it was forty one home 794 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 2: runs for Soto. You can't replace his on base percentage, 795 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 2: but you can you can get close. You know, get 796 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 2: somebody with a three sixty, maybe three seventy. It's not 797 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 2: gonna be easy, or you know, get better at multiple positions. 798 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 2: You know, get an outfielder and a third baseman, and 799 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 2: a first baseman. There's, as Brian Cashman say, it says 800 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 2: a lot of ways to skin the cat. So we'll 801 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,919 Speaker 2: see how it shakes out, but I do think we'll 802 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 2: have some news pretty soon.
