We touched on not that 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.400 long ago that he was a former waiver claim and 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.480 a guy that has more good than bad during his 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.280 tenure with the team, had been a staple of this 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.520 bullpen all year long, and again on a high note, 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.360 headed into the deadline, goes to a Pirates team that 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.160 had known to be very needy for relief help. So 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.800 he's gonna immediately be a significant piece of that pen 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.160 of a team that is still in the race alongside 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.640 the Marlins in the pursuit of wild card. And I 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.000 think we're still gathering the final details about the return 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.120 Manlds getting three prospects of some kinds in return for Lake, 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:30.960 who has a lot of years of control still ahead 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.839 pre arbitration eligible history says that you know, those don't 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.480 matter as much with relievers as other positions, So this 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.080 is more about just a bed on him being a 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.399 good reliever right now in a enoughgrade for this fired's team. 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.399 We're not again, we can't really be surprised at all 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.160 about the Monalds trading relievers of some kinds, and it 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.280 does the vod Nick trade now makes more sense just 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.360 a few minutes later as kind of the corresponding move. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:57.080 So any final thoughts on on Bakras as we wait 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.480 for the final details about who's coming back for him? 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.960 Before I talk about Boker trade, is this the first 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.400 Peter Bendix buying trade of his career with Miami, right, 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.680 this is the one that's the first career buying. 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.959 Move, right, Yeah, yep, damn, I can't think. I can't 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.000 think of another one. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.359 Deadline deadline speaking. 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.200 Because no, yeah, he's any trade. 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.440 Actually, this is the first win now quote unquote move. Okay, 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.480 that's fine, great, It is technically major leaguer for major 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.919 league if you consider nor be that. But with Lake Balker, 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.160 he was the Marlins really like him, and I heard 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.359 going into today that Balker and Fouchet were guys that 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.640 they were gonna maybe try to listen on a little 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.359 bit other believers as well. Peter Bendix, we spoke with him. 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.359 We always know how every GM likes. He likes to 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.120 use the deadline to trade their relievers. That would have 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.959 been shocked had they not dealt a single one. So 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:49.480 this sort of makes a little bit of sense. At 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.280 least they deal one of them and they got We'll 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.280 see what the return ends up being for Lake Balker. 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.000 But that's another example of Peter Bennis just picking someone out. 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.400 I remember the first day he was traded or he 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.880 came to the Marrow organization. We thought it was a 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.400 made up name, Lake Barker joining the Miami Marlinds and 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.119 he ends up bringing netting in three prospects of some kind. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.160 Like Eli said, We'll have to wait and see what. 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:09.760 The report is. 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.160 But all in all, all things considered, I got to 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.280 give this deadline day a solid beat, eighty five out 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.239 of a hundred. I think they did good. 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.720 Yeah, I mean when he come to think of the 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.720 way that Peter Bennix acquires these guys, I mean, Boker 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.480 is literally the perfect example. He was acquaed late in 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.960 twenty twenty four. The Wilds are way out of it 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.160 at this point, claimed them off waivers from the Padres. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.240 Only appeared in a couple of games. He was fine, 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.480 He showed some signs of life and Latin and last 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.400 year he was really good and this year he I mean, 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.320 you can make the case he really saved this team 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.480 during that month in June where they really had no 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:48.880 starting pitching and he had to go out there and 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.440 start every fifth day and go four or five innings 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.440 of relief, and he really saved them. So a lot 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.000 of credits to go to him. I think his numbers 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.800 are inflated so because of the absolute disaster class after 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:05.400 that yearie, after the yeary perfect game situation. But yeah, 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.360 no good. You know he's gonna go into Pittsburgh where 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.680 they needed bullpen help, and he's gonna go into a 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:11.600 postseason race. 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:12.440 Yeah. 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.400 I mean, the guy was in the Padres minor league 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.240 system since twenty fifteen, and like you said, Kevin really 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:18.640 build his team out. He did a lot of things 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.279 for these guys. I mean, saved games, pitched high leverage, 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.400 gave him a lot of lamp they needed, started games. 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.440 Like you said in June, they really needed him a lot. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.920 So yeah, props to Lake balker Man. Like you said, 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.080 this is the prototypical Peter Benwitz apposition out of the bullpen. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.520 I feel gutted for Tyler Phillips. I know those guys 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.280 are best friends, so it's gonna be a shame to 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.719 see him go. But a guy like le was he 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.719 from eastern Illinois, so it just makes a little bit 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.719 closer for his family travel to Pittsburgh compared to Miami. 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:44.960 So good for Lake. I'm interested to see who these 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.680 three prospects are. But he who had told me on 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.960 the wronger what forty games under in twenty twenty four, 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.000 and then they called the guy we might even not know, 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.120 like a guy from Major Lead. Pretty much, that's some 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.200 three prospects years in the future. Hard knots deep plea, 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.760 so best of lout to Lake in Pittsburgh to end. 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.200 To sum it up, it is eight total prospects that 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.320 the Marlins acquired on this deadline day. It was two 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.800 for Braxing Garrett, it was three in the Leam Hicks trade, 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:12.080 and three still to be identified guys in this pirates 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.919 trade as well. And I don't know exactly what to 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.279 expect in terms of the quality of those guys. It 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.480 is a pirates scene that is really eager to win, 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.560 and this is addresses a very specific need that they had, 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.080 So it wouldn't shock me if their turn is comparable 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.920 to what they got for Hicks. Well, yeah, we'll find out. 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:27.160 Surely. 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.440 We'll stay on for a few minutes longer to try 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.159 to get to that, even if the trade doesn't become 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.240 official until a little while later. 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:34.960 And yeah, busy day. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.520 Four deadline trades to day for reference, remember back in 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.320 twenty twenty four they made six of those on deadline day, 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:45.440 so pretty good. Not exactly measuring up to that, but 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.200 relatively close. And for a team that was in this 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.000 very limbo position that we didn't know precisely what all 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.440 these moves were gonna look like, they still made it interesting, 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.360 shook some stuff up. I think as we look at 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.880 the roster situation, that they opened up three forty men 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.320 spots off the top of my head, if I have 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.640 that right, because Norb for Vodnick was a one for one. 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.280 They opened up a forty man spot by trading Liam Hicks, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.440 they opened up a forty man spot by trading Braxton Garrett, 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.600 and they were opening up well, we'll see exactly what 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.680 they're getting returned for Barker. I would assume that was 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.039 some one guy that they must be getting somebody forty 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.880 man guys, some advanced player that either could do it 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.040 now or very soon in return. Otherwise, it does give 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:23.520 them a lot of different directions that they can go 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.080 for corresponding moves. 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:25.719 It uh. 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.560 I think there's all but confirms that Josh Ecnes is 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.920 going to be readded to the bullpen right away. You'll 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.240 just find on his rehab he's ready to return. So 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.719 that's another guy that has in the vein of Vodnik. 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.960 That's a guy that has really nasty stuff and a 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.279 lot of swinging mis potential that we'll get a longer 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:46.840 look at the stretch of this season his rookie year. Yeah. 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.000 So three other prospects for Barker. 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.600 It's a right handed pitcher, Brendan Bedoi. 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.680 Infielder of how you sung Lee out feel like Bryan. 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.560 Yeah, another. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:00.800 Happened last time. 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.760 That's right, the last time these teams made a deadline 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.880 deal two years ago, Brian Dela Cruz for John suck 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.920 sim and Garrett Forrester who's still in the organization. Made 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:18.080 up to Trimplake, but not a particularly highly regarded prospect 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.000 at this point. It's Will Salmon of the athletic that 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.400 has this return for us. So we're just learning about 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.360 these guys kind of at the same time as you 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:29.080 are out there too. In terms of the quality that 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:30.560 Monds are getting in return. 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:34.800 For Baker, it doesn't look like. 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:37.240 Any of them are ranked. 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:38.560 I assume not. 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.760 None of them are ranked at least on pipeline. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:41.560 Mm hmm. 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.320 Quantity over quality, baby, that's a Peter Bendix motto. 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:47.640 Fine by man this case. 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.640 Yeah, I mean, you get anything for the fact that 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.280 they got three guys for Lake. Baker says a lot, 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.240 But I mean, wudn't you rather one solid guy anyway? 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.680 I guess, But I mean we also knew that they 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.680 were trying to really juice up the arms system with 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:01.880 some lower level guys. 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.760 So all right, that seems to be a that's it. 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.560 Yeah, And as I suspected, biddoy if that's how you 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.440 pronounced it, bid wah bidwa. 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.360 It's Brandon bid wah good wah. Yeah. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:18.160 Learning just now thanks to Baseball Reference, very a very 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.880 shameless plug for our partnership with them as as Baseball 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.800 Reference Ambassadors. They have the pronunciation of his name right 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.920 on his player page. I did not realize he has 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.760 the big league experience. He's pitched fifteen games out of 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.520 the Pirates bullpen this year did not do well whatsoever. 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.240 It was a second three to era, was a seven 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:39.960 to eighteen FIP, home run issues and control issues simultaneously, 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.360 so he was in the minors. He goes onto the 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.319 forty men rosters. The Marlins value him somewhat, but I 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.960 would say that that is the most marginal piece of 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.600 this deal. For the moment that twenty five year old 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.319 right hander who was up at the triple at level. 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.400 Let me see what I can find very quickly on 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.160 these other guys that they're acquiring on the law. 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.439 Is this first Australian in Marlin's history? But wha, he's 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:03.720 from Australia. 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.559 That's a good question. I think he's on a very 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:11.640 short list. If he isn't unprecedented in that regard, that's 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.240 a fun fact. Then with Lee, he's South Korean on 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.160 the opposite end of the spectrum, eighteen years old infielder 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.600 in the Pirates organization, just as second year in pro ball, 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.400 playing at Low A as of recently and struggling with 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.000 that transition. But he was lighting up the FCL earlier 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.640 this summer. So that guy's I guess that's a bit 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:35.000 of a Shim comp right there, because they also acquired 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.559 Shim when he was very early in his career and 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.280 he ended up mainly due to injuries. Not announcing to 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.840 anything but Lee, at least for the moment he's healthy, 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:44.400 he's at the low A level. 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:45.120 I'll be interesting to. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.840 See where exactly he fits there in terms of what 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.480 position they play him at down the stretch, especially because 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.360 they got to incorporate all these draft picks at the 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:56.000 low A level as well, and then on Brian Sanchez, 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.640 the final piece of this deal. He's a guy that 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.679 is ounce through a few different organizations. Twenty two year 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:07.240 old Venezuelan outfielder who was at that High A level 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.240 this year, and he's been doing pretty well at High 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:14.319 A overall, at least offensively, mainly playing almost perfect balance 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.880 between centerfield, left field, and right field. So all three 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.679 of those spots for Brian Sanchez, so quick intro at 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:26.000 a quick glance, it's more quantity over quality, I would say. 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:30.160 But at least one guy in bid Wah, make sure 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:31.880 I'm pronouncing that right. Bid Wah is the one that 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:33.439 we might see at the big league level this year. 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.760 The other ones are going to take quite a long 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.080 time to see how that pans out. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.120 The Pirates man really going for it. I like to 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.120 see it there. That's going to be a tough team 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.280 to beat, or at least the leaf Frog and the 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.319 standings that they got a devall who gave him a 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.920 home run his first appearance as a Pirate. But Pirates 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.920 are are putting all the pushing all their chips in 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:57.959 and you like to see the small market teams do that. 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.960 They'll be in town one a week from today, right, yeah. 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:07.600 Oh yeah, well Lake the great friends get ready Luke 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:14.040 Weaver two mm hmmm yeah Weaver, Doval, Barker. What about 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:14.440 that trio? 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.720 So I would assume that Bidoir would report to Triple 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:22.360 A solely because Ecnes is commings, as is Vodnick. So 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.359 I don't think right now there's room unless sparring another injury. 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:26.880 Would need to make They need to make a roster move. 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:35.160 But I'm assuming the make option. Oh yeah, sorry, yeah, 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.160 because you have to add two relievers Vodnick and Ecnes 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.320 unless they option acts to Triple A. But I don't 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:41.160 see that being your case. 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:42.640 No, they're not going to option act to Triple A. 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:43.840 But yeah, they need to make a move. 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.080 I would I would. 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:48.400 Probably say that Bidoir goes to wall to learn his name, 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.680 He'll go to Triple A Jacksonville if I had to 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:52.720 make an educated guess. 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:53.720 But I'll confirm that today. 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.440 Yeah, as we stand, I think it is worth referencing 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.600 this point from Marquis about the starting pitching, like, even 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.360 though I think our intel was pointing to the fact 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.760 that they weren't going to be adding a starter. It's 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.559 a team that is three games over five hundred, is 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.719 right in the mix of the wild card race that 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.800 maybe didn't believe in Braxton Garrett. But at the same time, 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.480 their rotation at the major league level is so within 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:21.000 they are behind Sandy and Yuri. There's so many question 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.760 marks between how Tyler Phillips will sustain as a starter 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.800 of the rest of the year, Jansen Junks kind of 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.640 limited upside, and Ryan Gusto. Ryan Gusto is still occupying 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.600 a rotation spot unless a shocking trade breaks the next 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:37.040 few minutes, and the alternatives in Jacksonville, there's now one 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.800 less alternative, The best, most qualified alternative that they had 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.440 downe there just got traded and they didn't make a 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.200 corresponding move to add another starter. 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:47.800 So I guess we'll go with Sean. 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.560 Just your thoughts on that, the fact that they made 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.520 through the deadline, there wasn't a whole lot of optimism 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.760 that they would add. But this is it's like getting 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.760 around the fact that this is a vulnerability for this 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:01.960 team down the stretch. The team that is, they're going 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.320 to be good enough to stay in this race, but 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.199 if they get one more injury, especially to Sandy or 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.640 Uri Like, it's what are they going to do about it? 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.439 Yeah, I mean it's that's disappointing, and it's I think 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.080 that's a factor. And why you only saw one, you know, 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.520 bullpen arm moved off the bit of the roster and 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.640 why you bring in you know, Vodnik is the way 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.120 they've been managing their making their pitching work for so 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.120 much of the season has been you know, that makes 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.880 the match after you know that have pretty much most 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.400 of the year having two pitchers you trust, you know 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.439 too on the provide that length. You know, a lot 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.120 of overlap there for Urie missing when Max is available 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:45.000 or vice versa. So they've they'll get to continue doing that. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.440 But I would I would have loved again kind of 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.240 warm body in the rotation, you know, back there, just 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.280 for what they would have meant to the Marlins relative 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:57.079 to other teams with their just to you know, that's 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.480 doing better than Ryan Gusto. You know, you know they're 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.920 not looking to add a top of the market starting pitcher. 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.000 It's just someone better than Gustav. But do you feel 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.880 more confident in me and providing that length? 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:06.520 Yeah? 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.319 Right now I feel better about it. But yeah, the yeah, 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.600 the DIC move has me feeling a lot better than 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:17.480 I did I'm fifteen minutes ago about their their pitching situation. 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.480 Yeah, any anybody else about uh is the fact that 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.600 they they're riding with who they have on this starting 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:29.520 pitching front, and they've been getting amazing numbers. Uri I 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.280 saw was well, Sandy won National Legue Pitcher of the 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.760 Week and Uri was he was a prime candidate to 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:36.760 win n I'll picture the month for July. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:40.360 He was really that consistently amazing. So those two. 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:44.280 But just the fact that things are so perilous once 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.240 you get beyond those two, especially if Max isn't returning 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:48.440 from his injury anytime soon. 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:50.560 Yeah, it's a little disappointing. 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.200 I'd say that was one of the main things I 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.720 wanted to see Miami do was acquire a controllable starter again, 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.280 not a rental. They were never going to be in 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.080 the Robbie Ray sweepstakes or anything like that, but a 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.400 guy that you know you look down the road twenty 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:08.080 twenty seven, twenty eight, he's in your organization and can 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:12.000 compliment the core for the next couple of years in 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.840 which you hope to make a playoff run. Obviously you'd 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.720 love to sneak in the playoffs now, but twenty twenty seven, 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.480 this team should be competitive without a doubt. That should 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.400 be the expectation, So a controllable starter for me. I 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.800 was looking at someone like Reed Debtmers. I was willing 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.760 to pay some prospect capital and cash in on some 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.480 of these guys to go out and trade with a 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:38.800 terrible Angels team who made questionable moves all the time 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.320 and said debtmars is available for a while, and then 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.240 I guess they didn't see what they were looking for, 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:49.160 But that was my target. Really, any high upside pitcher 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.400 who's under contract for a couple more years would have 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.520 been a good fit. The Vodnik fit I really love. 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.440 I will emphasize this. I think he's he's gonna thrive 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:03.880 and grows so hard. The pitching development in Miami is 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.320 always a plus. So it's kind of cool to see 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.320 the Marlins quote unquote by for the first time in 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.880 a few years. But yeah, i'd say I would say 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.560 it's a little disappointed on that aspect. 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.440 M And I guess the final thing you should touch 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:21.760 on is as dust settles, Pete Fairbanks is still here. 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.120 The one pending free agents and ends up moving even 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.440 though it pitched so well before the deadline. I guess 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:29.960 it's you can look at a two ways. Maybe that 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:33.000 wasn't enough of a sample to convince teams that he'd 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.080 be that to pay up what the Marlins are looking for. 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:39.360 Or yet maybe the Marlins just set a really unrealistically 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.160 high priced because they believe that he is now rounded 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:43.800 in the form, relatively close to the guy that he 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.400 was supposed to be. But they're gonna end up. I 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.200 think they would have ended up having to eat quite 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:50.680 a bit of the money owed to him anyway, even 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.040 if they did trade him. But now they are on 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.960 the hook for four plus million dollars that he's owed 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.840 down the stretch, and uh yeah, for given how well 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.560 he's pitched that of late, it's a little himself as 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.480 the closer of this team, Michael Peterson, who we spent 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:04.840 a lot of time talking about on the last Dream 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:06.359 Kevin and I like he's going to be one of 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.320 their prime set up guys, especially with inherited runners now 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.760 vod Nick. Even though his performance this year has been 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.520 a little shaky. I think he's going to very quickly 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.040 move into some high leverage opportunities at least in the 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.000 short term, while Anthony Bender is still owed and while 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:22.960 Lake Baker is gone. Yeah, so that's that's where we're at. 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.040 And I think Alex Carver wants us to stall for 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.640 a few more minutes while he is able to join 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.840 us at the very end for some final thoughts. So 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.000 I'll yeah, I'll just go through the chat and see 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.040 if there's any other comments that strike my attention to 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.000 get at. I do kind of echo some of the 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.879 sentiments that you guys shared about the starting pitching and 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.680 how if I guess, if nothing else they could Colin 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.240 put out in a question here is that they could 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.120 just claim somebody off waivers over these coming weeks. It's 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.240 just that the quality of the players you're going to 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.159 get all off waivers kind of speaks for itself, like 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.679 these aren't guys that have a high probability of helping 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.879 you right away, even for a Marlin Seam that is 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:01.879 good at pitching developments. 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.320 So it's it's possible. But what's going on Heremiah? 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.320 Well, I like that comment said, if if the Rangers 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:12.919 ever do dfa Calvin Fouche or not Calvine. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:17.040 The guy cal Kwan. Then the Marlins, you never know, Carver, 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:17.560 where are you. 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.480 We've been on here for five more minutes, and Carver's 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.760 a little bit get here, then well we'll hear his 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.720 thoughts as well, because we do have people in the chat. 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:28.679 Brian wants to hear it from Carver. A lot of 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.080 people do on the side, especially in the deadline. One 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:34.000 of the Marlins said, a lot of their strategy was 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:35.840 on picking up young talent for the future that we're 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.840 not going to see this year, but are big investments. 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.240 You know, some mixed reactions to the Baker trade. So 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:42.879 I'm saying that a bit of a middle finger to 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.560
