1
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Crats Look who I found.

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: It's the Todd. The painting was a gift Todd.

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 3: I'm keeping it and I'm gonna keep it. What's up, Cratzy.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 3: Good to see a big doggie.

00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: Good to be seen kid. You look refreshed, rejuvenated.

Speaker 3: And I'm in the hood for sure. This nice hood.

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 4: But vacation a little longer vacation than I wanted to.

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 4: But actually no, it was a good, good, long vacation.

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 4: I shouldn't say I didn't want to. I wanted to.

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: You wanted to and you were warm. It was it

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: was nice, yeah, very nice Florida sunshine.

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 4: It was delicious. You've been there a bunch of times.

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 4: We had we had one bad day, but that was

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 4: the day we went. Uh you know that that tour

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 4: you could take, You know, you can hop on all

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 4: different parks in one day. You get your private tour,

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 4: so you know what, Yeah, so you get behind the

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 4: scenes action, like we went to.

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: Where do we go to Safari? First we went to the.

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 4: Animal Kingdom, right, and that was great. They say, go

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 4: in the morning, the animals are just waking up. You'll

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 4: see a lot more animals. Then we went to Magic

23
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 4: Kingdom and went on Tron and we're like, you know what,

24
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 4: we want to go on again, So we go right

25
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 4: back to the front of the line. So then we

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 4: went to Epcot. At the end, we wanted to go

27
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 4: on Guardians the Galaxy. We went on three times. That

28
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: probably my most it's the most famous, most famous ride ever.

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 4: You love it, my most favorite ride ever.

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: Super cool, like.

31
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, you get that that flavor where you don't have

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 4: to wait on lines. They take you behind the scenes

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 4: where the workers park and they they're like, dude, you

34
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 4: can go on this five times in.

35
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: A row if you want. We just kept going. That's

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: the ten of us. It was great.

37
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: That's the Bougeye Hyperpass right there.

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: Cotch, Yeah, they have they have the pass and then

39
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 2: they got the Fraser Pass and the frame.

40
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: Anybody can get it though anybody can can six kids.

41
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: It was. It was nice.

42
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: Anybody can get it. Todd, you gotta hit some diggers.

43
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: You gotta hit more diggers than I hit to be

44
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: able to afford that. Let's put that way.

45
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: Listen.

46
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 4: I talked to the guy, I got his number four.

47
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 4: You I got your little hook up. If you really

48
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: want to.

49
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: Go the Fraser front of the line pass I'll take.

50
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: Beauty. We're gonna have some fun. Todd Father's on with

51
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: us tomorrow as well, and we actually are going to

52
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: have quite a few moves. It's the non tender deadline tomorrow,

53
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: so you'll see some players cut, some names that we know.

54
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: You'll see some players traded away, including one that we're

55
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: going to get to in a moment. Let's charge charge

56
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: multiple Braves moves. I want to start with friisel Iglesias.

57
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: The Braves opted to not trade him at the deadline. Instead,

58
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: they keep him even though they weren't in contention. He

59
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: pitches very well down the stretch, and now he's back

60
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: to a team that's contending in twenty twenty six one year,

61
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: sixteen million bucks. This is a good barometer of approximately

62
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: where the price will go for a closer like this.

63
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: There are better ones out there, so they might be

64
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: pushing twenty plus a year. But Mark Bowman helping us

65
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: out with the final forty five appearances in twenty twenty

66
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: five for Rice Ilglacia's Todd Father that is pristine one

67
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: two five ERA thirty percent K percentage twenty one out

68
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: of twenty two saves in those final forty five appearances.

69
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: This was him answering a question from a fan wondering

70
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: if he would be a setup guy if the Braves

71
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: land a legit closer. I think this is their closer

72
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six, and they're paying him the same

73
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: that they paid him in the previous season sixteen million

74
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: bucks to bring him back. One other thing to add

75
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: before you comment is some think that he was more

76
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: prone to signing with Atlanta because they kept him. Do

77
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: you think that's the that's a thing of players.

78
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: I love this question because I'm sure it's in a

79
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: lot of people's minds, fans and you know, other guys

80
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 4: that have played. But listen, I've been a part of

81
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 4: six team crats. He's been a part of a bunch more.

82
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: I think you're more susceptible of trying to link back

83
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 4: with that team. And I say this knowing that won

84
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 4: the relationships and too comfort just being comfortable. And I

85
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 4: know when I was a free agent, I was a

86
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 4: guy that basically said, hey, listen, you know we haven't

87
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 4: got much offered these first month, month and a half.

88
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 4: Let's go back to the teams that I was with

89
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: and see maybe there's a connection there. You know, maybe

90
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: I'll take a little less just to go back to

91
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 4: there because I know the place. Yeah, it's just about

92
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 4: being comfortable about knowing your surroundings and do you like

93
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: the people around you, And I think that that was

94
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 4: a major cause of this. I think it's a perfect

95
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 4: place for him. I love Ross Ayo. He's a really

96
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 4: good dude, Scottie. He's fun loving dude. He can pitch.

97
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 4: I know he's had some injuries over the years, but

98
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: this is a guy. I mean, shoot, one year, sixteen million.

99
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 4: What happens if he does it again what he did

100
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: in the back half, You never know. Then he can

101
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 4: get a bigger deal. But yes, I think this is

102
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 4: a great sign the Braves keep doing this. This is

103
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 4: like you know, you know, day Drave all over again

104
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 4: with with this. Like last year, they were the first ones.

105
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 4: They came out and got the right handed pitcher from

106
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 4: the White Sox. I'm just having a little brain fard

107
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: here of who it was, but they came out and

108
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: I think it was low Pez right right now, Lopez,

109
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: and we're like, man, what a great what a great

110
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: deal for them. So they're they're they're firing right now

111
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: early and they're gonna be firing offten.

112
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: We'll see.

113
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: Well, they kept Lopez. They got him a couple of

114
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: years ago, right, and then he had a great movie.

115
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: They kept him. On The point is Anthopolis likes to

116
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: do his business early in the off season.

117
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 3: He wants to go on vacation.

118
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: He wants that Phraser pass.

119
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: He knows how much he wants to pay. And I

120
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: don't know necessarily that Russell has gotten, you know, gave

121
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 2: the team a team discount on this one. I just

122
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: think your question, Scott was, do you feel some type

123
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 2: of way because the team didn't trade you? No, Like

124
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: I've been traded, cut, rehired, fired again, re signed, like

125
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: I've pretty much gone through every type of transaction. Like

126
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: I was pissed that the Brewers got rid of me

127
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: in nineteen. I was pissed that they went and got

128
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: YASMANI Grandal had the Brewers called me like at the

129
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: end of nineteen and when I was a minor league

130
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: free agent in the middle of the season, I'd going

131
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: back there like I had while I was pissed at him,

132
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: you still want to be in the big leagues. Rycelle

133
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 2: Iglesias doesn't have that issue. If he was, you know,

134
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: maybe he was mad he didn't get traded because he

135
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: didn't get to go play in the playoffs. Like sometimes

136
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: guys would be cool like I'm fine getting traded, like

137
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: we ain't going nowhere this year. Our team is brutes mcgoots.

138
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: But so the whole like feeling, ah man, I feel

139
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: it's different when a guy's been with an organization for

140
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: six years and then they're like, ah, he left in

141
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: free agency, no way he comes back, or he gets

142
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: traded part way through. You don't want your big time

143
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: free agents, which risell is not to go and test

144
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: the other waters, to go and see and talk to

145
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: a team like hey, what's this clubhouse? Like what's your travel? Like?

146
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: How's that different? Especially you know when you have a

147
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: guy that has to be resigned for a decent contract.

148
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: So I just think this case is it's not the

149
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: same case. But I'm sure there are people who would

150
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: be like, no, I'm not resigning back there if they

151
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: traded me. Screw those guys, which, you know, check your

152
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: feelings a little bit.

153
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: Check the MYSA.

154
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: Do you have a microphone on?

155
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

156
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 3: He does, Yeah, which is great on the screen.

157
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: Okay, we're just getting a question, all right, so I'm

158
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: in between here. Ready, Ready, If I sell Glaciers gets

159
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: offered one year twenty million to a different team, he's

160
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: probably gone there. Sure, right, Sure, one year seventeen million. Also,

161
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: let's keep in mind taxes are thing, right, So it

162
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: depends on the stage where you going.

163
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: This was a team he was a free agent or

164
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: was he not free agent? Free agent?

165
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 4: And they went one year sixteen and he said yes, yeah,

166
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: And everybody understands that he's thirty five years old.

167
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, this is a free agent who's making this decision? Right?

168
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: And I think it depends on where you are, how

169
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: much money you've made, how much is the difference between

170
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: what you're being offered and what other teams are throwing out?

171
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: There are other teams even throwing anything out there. And

172
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: the reason I ask that is many teams are kind

173
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: of softerly on in the offseason and they just dance.

174
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: They call the agents, they tickle, They say, oh, we

175
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: like this part about him, we don't like this part

176
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: about him. This is the range that we think. We

177
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: talked a lot of free agents right over off seasons

178
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: and they tell us about the whole little tap dance

179
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: that they do, and he gets a call, Hey, here's

180
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: a real offer. Maybe you'll get a few mill more.

181
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: But if you want to wait and be the last

182
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: man standing out of the closer carsel, which there are

183
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: many of them, you might not get the number that

184
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: looks like this. This is a comfortable spot. They go

185
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: for it, so I give them credit on that front.

186
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: You have one more pointcraft and then I want to

187
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: get to what else the Braves did.

188
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 2: I love sixteen I mean we'd even hit on it.

189
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: I love sixteen million for a closer right now at

190
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: thirty five years old. Chappie signed an extension for thirteen

191
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: a year last year and he's he's the closer of

192
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: the year for the American League. Like for him. I

193
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: like that Alexanthopolis has always done this. There's certain organizations

194
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: that say we'd love to have you back. Some organizations

195
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: say we'd love to have you back, but at a

196
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: little hometown discount. There's other organizations and I know AA

197
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: Alexanthopolis is that type where he's like, here's what I

198
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: know you're worth. You go out and pedal that deal,

199
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: come back to us, and that's what we'll give you.

200
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: As long as everybody's honest and upfront. That's all they're

201
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 2: looking form.

202
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: Hey, with Iglesias, I think you made an adjustment too.

203
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: You give a lot of homers in the first half

204
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: of the season. There were quite a few sliders catching

205
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: a little too much of the plate. You didn't see

206
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: as much of that in the second half of the year.

207
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: You look at some of the pitches that missed for

208
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: him in the first half of the season that led

209
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: to homers. They had quite a few what Fangrafts calls meltdowns.

210
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: That's a new stat that we'll have to get to

211
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: at some point. They pegged him at eleven. That's a lot,

212
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: but a lot of action on the wrong side came

213
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the season, which happened to be

214
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: bad timing for an Atlanta team that played much better

215
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: down the stretch. But they kind of lost it early. Okay.

216
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: So step two for the Braves is the trade they

217
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: make with the Astros two very good defensive players, moving

218
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: Nick Allen from the Braves over to Houston right, and

219
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: he played really good shortstop defense for them last year

220
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: at one of the weakest bats in the Bigs. Mauricio

221
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: Dubon goes the other way, super utility guy who can

222
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: play a number of different spots and play it well.

223
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: And he's a better offensive player than Nick Allen. Some

224
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: people online are like, oh see, this is their backup

225
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: option for shortstop. I think the Braves are going for

226
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: a little more big game hunting on their every day

227
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: starting shortstop. But Dubon gives you a ton of insurance.

228
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: Todd Father, it's not just at short as the Allbeasts

229
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: dealt with a number of injuries over his career and

230
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: he's coming off surgery. Austin Riley's dealt with some injuries lately.

231
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: So this is the guy you can plug in just

232
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: about anywhere for Atlanta and he kind of what some

233
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: people will say, ups your floor, right, This is a

234
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: better hitter than Nick Allen and a guy who should

235
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: play comparable enough defense at a number of different spots

236
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: to make you better.

237
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think having that one guy that can

238
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: play different spots is key, especially for a Braves team

239
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 4: that has the injuries, that has the guys on the

240
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 4: team where you're like, oh, I hope he hope he's

241
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 4: healthy all the way through the year, so this guy

242
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 4: can step in. He's not afraid to play any position.

243
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: I love Nick Allen played with him in the USA

244
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: team when we want a silver medal. But you know,

245
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: his defense is great. It's got to pick that bat up.

246
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 4: I think he will. You know, he's not the home

247
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 4: run hitter. He's not the guy who's going to drive

248
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 4: in you know, eighty runs a game or a season.

249
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 4: Excuse me, but again, you know, I don't know, you

250
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 4: know what Houston was kind of thinking around this part.

251
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: But you know, we never know. We never know what

252
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 4: a team's thinking. They're trying to set up room for

253
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: somebody else. But again, Dubam is a really good athlete.

254
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: He's a good player. Is he going to wow you

255
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: with the bat? No, but he is a pretty decent

256
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 4: offensive player.

257
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: I know what they were thinking, let's save a good

258
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: chunk of money so we can spend it elsewhere. Because

259
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: Houston is actually one of those team sprats that dances

260
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: around the soft salary cap number. So those that don't

261
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: think it works, it doesn't work on everyone, right unless

262
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: you have a super hard cap, which the NBA doesn't

263
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: even have if you keep your own guys, Houston dances

264
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: around what is the luxury tax number. Jim Crean does

265
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: that sometimes over, sometimes under, but that's the game that

266
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: they play, and he really treats it like a salary cap.

267
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: He does. And I think this move was precipitated by

268
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: the fact that they got Carlos Korea. They got him earlier,

269
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: and it's like, well, you know what, if we take

270
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: this on, we got to dump a little bit salary later.

271
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: So moving around the cap, or moving around the CBT

272
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: tax threshold as they want to call it. I hope

273
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: it doesn't come back to Burnham because Houston's Houston's been there,

274
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: They've been around that area the whole time, but they're

275
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: paying some of their stars a little bit more. And

276
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: when you have injuries and you're not willing to go

277
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 2: over that cap, not willing to go over that threshold,

278
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: sometimes you don't have the backup plans and du Bond's

279
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: not going to light the world on fire at the plate,

280
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: but he gives you gold Glove utility defense, which for

281
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 2: the Astros it kind of mitigated some of those injuries

282
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: and able to him to step in and sit through

283
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: there till their starter came back. But the Braves now

284
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: have been a team that have dudes that play one

285
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 2: fifty five to one sixty two all year maybe they're seeing, Hey,

286
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: you know what if we bring a guy like this in. Yes,

287
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: we're still going to go after a shortstop, but now

288
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 2: we have a guy who can step in and do

289
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 2: bond and give everybody a day off. So instead of

290
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 2: our one to fifty five's, we're playing one forty one

291
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: forty five and we're staying healthy the whole time.

292
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: The one other thing here is Ken wrote about how

293
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: war wins Abo replacement strength for this position doesn't necessarily

294
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: have to be super high for you to be a

295
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: successful team. He pointed to the Mariners, the Yankees, Milwaukee, Cleveland,

296
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: and Detroit as ranking in the bottom ten in Fangraft's

297
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: war at the shortstop position, and he added the Toronto

298
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: Blue Jays, who in September turned to Andre Semenez over

299
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: at shortstop, who was one of the worst offensive players

300
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: in the sport this season. I see all of that,

301
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: but I would still rather have a shortstop that can thump.

302
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: I think you could say that about almost any position, right,

303
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: Like you could be a team that's a World Series

304
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: team and doesn't have a great player offensively at one

305
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: particular position, but like you'd rather have a dude that

306
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: can mash and handle the position defensively, so I don't

307
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: want that to be used as a cop out. I

308
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: think the Braves are looking for shortstop. I just think

309
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: that they want Kim. He might want to go somewhere else.

310
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: There aren't a ton of great options out there this year.

311
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: Trademarket pending. I mean, Ken mentioned Corey Seger in his

312
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: in his article, I don't know if that's a feasible spot,

313
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: and he also mentioned how they're actually on Seegers no

314
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: trade list. That doesn't mean he wouldn't wave it, but

315
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: we also don't know if he's necessarily available. That's a

316
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: whole other world. But can we just agree that if

317
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: you have the option of a shortstop kit that can match,

318
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: you rather have that.

319
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you?

320
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes you a better contending team, there's no

321
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: doubt about that. And there are guys who can play ond.

322
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 2: And you don't necessarily have to get that offense from

323
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: another position. Catching position is tough. Well, the Blue Jays

324
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: had Alejandra Kirk down the stretch there who was giving

325
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: you offense from the catching position? And the reason the

326
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: Blue Jays got to where they were was because Boba

327
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: Schett was driving in tons of rounds, So I get it.

328
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: Andre Sementez helped them win throughout that stretch without Bo

329
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: playing short. But I don't know, not a big fan

330
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: of that stat there, Ken, but it's a great defensive position.

331
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: Braves have really struggled there in the last well since

332
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: they got rid of Dansby.

333
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. Yeah, Orlando Rcio was in that spot,

334
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: and I mean was one of the worst shortstops for

335
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: the year that you played. Yeah, I mean it all

336
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: starts him the next year he wasn't good. But yeah,

337
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: I got it. So we can debate it with Ken

338
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: on Friday. He'll join us. Hey, there were a number

339
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: of rice agreements announced yesterday for MLB, so adjust your

340
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: screens accordingly. Twenty twenty six through twenty twenty eight, ESPN

341
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: has the MLB Dot TV package. They also have thirty

342
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: games which I believe are all exclusive and can be flexed.

343
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: They have the Little League Classic, a Todd Father Special

344
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: NBC and Peacock at Sunday Night Baseball, the Draft, the

345
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Futures Game in the Wildcard round, Netflix gets the home

346
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: Run Derby Opening Night in the Field of Dreams game,

347
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: which returns Fox and FS one get the All Star Game,

348
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic, and a number of playoff rounds

349
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: including of course the World Series, TBS getting the LDS

350
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: and LCS on the other side of what Fox gets,

351
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: and then Apple Fridays. So there's a lot there. If

352
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: you want to sort through it with us, we will

353
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: do that tomorrow with someone who does this for a living,

354
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: and that's Andrew Marshand, who covers sports media for the

355
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: Athletic Nice.

356
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 3: That's a lot we.

357
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: Still get taught. Missed the Little League, I.

358
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 4: Know, and I know the Little League is a whole

359
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 4: nother entity, which is great. So that'll be on ESPN

360
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 4: at least till twenty thirty. So nice World Series. But

361
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 4: it's good to have the Classic paired with. Yes, literally,

362
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 4: you're always out there for that. And how cool is

363
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 4: it when all the big boys show up. It's great.

364
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 4: It's a great event, and it's thrilling for the kids.

365
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 4: You know, whoever wins the game, it really it matters,

366
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 4: of course, but at the same time, for the kids

367
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 4: to have that experience, it's truly incredible.

368
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 3: But yeah, this is a whole big ordeal.

369
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 4: I know we're going to get more into it tomorrow,

370
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 4: but yeah, there's a lot of changes going on, and

371
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 4: better get them apps out voice.

372
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe there's a lot to look at, a lot

373
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: to pay attention to.

374
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 2: There's a lot a lot of different channels. Hi, why's

375
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: the Valies game on it? Why isn't it on? Why

376
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: isn't it on an NBC Sports Philadelphia? What's the deal?

377
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: I hate it when it's on this I hate it

378
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: when it's on like, get with the program. It's okay,

379
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 2: I'll never watch it when it's on that one. Really well,

380
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: then you're just not going to watch the game.

381
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean that's just the state of sports

382
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: right now. The only part I always laugh at is

383
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: at one point I'm paraphrasing, Manford was almost acting like

384
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: he's like testing out all these spots. It's like, you're

385
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: not testing out this pot, You're just getting the best deal,

386
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: and that's okay. I mean he sometimes talks about rev

387
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, just tell it like it is. You don't

388
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: want it to be on ninety different places, but you're

389
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: going to sell it to the places that make sense,

390
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: and that's fine. I'm fine with that, and I think

391
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: people know that. But acting like it's like, oh, we

392
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: just want you know, one appetizer on the menu, like

393
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: we want all ten on the menu from each spot

394
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: because that'll please our palette. Come on, all right, we're

395
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: back on the non tender list. There was one article

396
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: that had Alec bohms him as possibility. Are resident Philly

397
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: guy or krats? No way. I mean, even if the

398
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: Phillies don't want to keep him, that's that's a big

399
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: league ballplayer. Team's not going to take that on. For

400
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: what is he going to make in his final season?

401
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: I mean I don't even know if he I don't

402
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: know if he eclipses the ten million mark. To me, yeah,

403
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: I don't see why they would non tender the people.

404
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 2: I think people just looked at it and they go, oh,

405
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: you know, his ops plus his only you know, league

406
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 2: average and stuff. But before this year, and I spent

407
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: some time on IL this year, he's back to back

408
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: ninety seven RBI seasons. Like you don't you don't need

409
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: all superstars in every facet of your lineup. You need

410
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: dudes that can do some other things. And like his

411
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 2: defense is continually improving, Like I'm giving Todd's third basement

412
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 2: love here, Like keep that man around.

413
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he might get traded. But I mean, I think

414
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: he's going to be okay on on keeping his job.

415
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: Eight.

416
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: We'll see that headline tomorrow bless you, but not beyond

417
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: tomorrow because I might be sick, bless you.

418
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 4: I don't know what is it the weather changes and

419
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 4: I become this time unnatural human being.

420
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: Side you're sick all of that. You have a cough,

421
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: a sneeze, or your face just looks sweat. But Boom,

422
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: all the stuff about Boone getting traded, like last off season,

423
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: it wasn't people. It wasn't the Phillies trading him. It

424
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: was teams calling for him, like and everyone's like, oh

425
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: they hate Bomb. He had that temper tantrum, he got

426
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: sad at the end of the year. Other teams were

427
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: calling for him. So they're not just they're not just

428
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 2: getting rid of them. They're not just giving me away

429
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 2: for free.

430
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: I know a good show that has more on this.

431
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: It's called The Philly Show bottom left corner of your screen.

432
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: One other quick question I didn't get to for Mike

433
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: g was a little in the weeds, he said, ref

434
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: Snyder seems like the perfect left handed mashing fit to

435
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: platoon with Owen Casey and right field in Chicago keeps

436
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: saying the h any rumblings of this. Yeah, I could

437
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: see the Cubs dancing like that. We gotta wake up crats.

438
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: Oh they playing every day? Can we can we let

439
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: every day you know, play every day?

440
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: Yes. His his ability is to take the ball to

441
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 2: the opposite field. I don't care if it's left or

442
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: left right. All right, whatever your whatever your issue is,

443
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 2: Like platoon, Cubs shouldn't build a platoon. They should build

444
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 2: a team that will mash the entire NL Central So cool, awesome.

445
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: I hope they get Rob because Rob is a good player,

446
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: but Jacob.

447
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: Days injury suck.

448
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

449
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: We had some news that broke from Nick Krawl, the

450
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: president baseball operations for the Reds. He informed people that

451
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: Elliot de la Cruz was dealing with a partially torn

452
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: quad and that sounds pretty significant given that his production

453
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: dipped off significantly in the second half of the season.

454
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: He had a long power draft, his defense wasn't as

455
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: sharp eggs of Vila numbers not as good. Right, Almost

456
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: everything was down across the board, not to mention stolen

457
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: bases sixty seven, which led baseball in twenty twenty four.

458
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: Todd Father he totaled thirty seven stolen bags and he

459
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: played a full season. He didn't look the same, and

460
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: this does help to explain what the problem was.

461
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you think about a couple of different scenarios,

462
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 4: like why not just come out and say it so

463
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 4: you know understandably, it's like, all right, well, knowing he

464
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 4: doesn't beat out that ground bowl or he's not stealing anymore.

465
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 4: Instead of having all this speculation two you get say, hey, man,

466
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 4: you know gritty hard Nos, I love it. Everybody loves

467
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 4: us about him.

468
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 3: He's great.

469
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 4: He fights through paying this and that I mean I

470
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: hear partially torn or torn. To me, it's not that

471
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 4: big of a difference because it's not fully healthy. So yeah, yeah,

472
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 4: he played through it. I give him credit for him kudos.

473
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 4: I think that's awesome. But you know, maybe there was

474
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 4: a time you could have, you know, understandable if everybody

475
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 4: kind of knew about it. You give him a day

476
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 4: or two off. All right, yeah, and we understand what's

477
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 4: going on. But for him to go out there and

478
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 4: keep battling through it, even though the numbers were ticked down,

479
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 4: goes to show to side of a person he is.

480
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: Man.

481
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 3: I give him respect for that.

482
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: So I do want to mention this before Kratz comments.

483
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: He said the comments on Wednesday or radio show, right,

484
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: he said, I think a lot of people don't know this.

485
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: At the end of the year, like towards the end

486
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: of July, he was dealing with a partial torn quad.

487
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: He's been rehabbing at the ballpark basically every day in

488
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: the offseason, and then on Thursday he said it was

489
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: a left quad strain, which is a partial tear. And

490
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: he didn't want to make it sound like the injury

491
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: was too serious. I mean, I'm not a doctor here.

492
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: We just play that little ding at the top of

493
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: the segment. But Kratz it does sound like it impacted

494
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: him definitely.

495
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: And a player will always put let's put it this way,

496
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: a player that you want the field or on your

497
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 2: team will always play through injuries. Todd knows there's dudes

498
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 2: that don't play through Jack. They're like, ooh no, no, no,

499
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: not gonna make it through this one. You know, they

500
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 2: look on the mound and it's probably Trek Scubele or

501
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: Chris Sale. But there's dudes that play through everything. So

502
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: that's awesome that he wants to play through this that

503
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 2: he wanted to be out there and felt like his

504
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,239
Speaker 2: eighty percent was better than anything else that they were

505
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: going to put out there. This is where the training staff,

506
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: the manager, the front office, the coaches need to be

507
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 2: able to step in and say, we get it. You

508
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 2: could be a franchise player for us. We have other

509
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 2: people like Noel Vie Marte used to play shortstop. I

510
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: don't think he's a shortstop anymore. They pushed him the

511
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: right field. So a half a eighty percent Ellida Cruz,

512
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 2: it's short is probably better than a lot of guys.

513
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 2: But is there a chance that they could have gotten

514
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: him off his feet, that they could have gotten him

515
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 2: when he's in the middle of a slump of two

516
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: hundred and one at bats where he had one home

517
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 2: run like that, they could have said, hey, you know

518
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: what this thing's really We can tell it's really bugging

519
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 2: you and you're not one hundred percent, and we'll slot

520
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 2: Noel v Marte in for a week. You'll come back,

521
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 2: you'll be banger ring. He might fight you, he might

522
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 2: say no, I want to play because I play. That's

523
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 2: what I do. But you got to be able to

524
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 2: make that decision. What's best for the team because the

525
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: Reds clearly needed every single game to get to where

526
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 2: they got to.

527
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he played a full one sixty two. It's the

528
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: whole balance of who would play instead of Ellie for

529
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: that time period and would that be enough versus Ellie

530
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: getting the rest and then maybe being more of a

531
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: version of himself previously. We don't know the answer. What

532
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: we do know is he was not close to one

533
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: hundred percent. So yeah, all right, let's get two yes,

534
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: last word.

535
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: No, no, no, you just you had a guy that

536
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: could step in. We're not talking the whole season, just

537
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 2: to step in.

538
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: That's it, right, right, all right, so we'll see the

539
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: real version of Ellie again. In spring training, Texas native

540
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: and now angel Grayson Rodriguez was asked if he'll be

541
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: ready to pitch a full season. His response, absolutely. I

542
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: had some bone spurs removed back in August this year.

543
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: That was something that's kind of lingered with me for

544
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: about three or four years now. I've held I've had

545
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: them for a while, and I kind of just got

546
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: to the point where I couldn't really pitch through it.

547
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: Pretty sure. That's kind of what was causing some of

548
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: the lat injuries. So just being able to get those

549
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: out of there. My arm feels great right now throwing.

550
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: There's really no question for me to be ready for

551
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: spring training. Gratz, have you seen the guest list for

552
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: tomorrow Friday show.

553
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 2: I have, and I'm so glad that Grayson's coming on.

554
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: I mean that was ironic. He was going to be

555
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: coming on anyway, and he's still coming on. And I'm

556
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 2: so glad that I have gotten eviscerated on Twitter for

557
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 2: the comments I said about the fact that Grayson Rodriguez

558
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: is still a good pitcher and the fact that the

559
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 2: Orioles should not have gotten rid of him. I mean,

560
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: everybody's very much. You know, what have you done for

561
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: me lately? And you know what, he hasn't been on

562
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 2: the field. I'm gonna double down and I'm gonna say

563
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: careful what you wish for their people, just saying Grayson

564
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 2: Rodriguez can pitch a baseball pretty well.

565
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: Kratz is describing my Thursday morning at like eight am,

566
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: going through YouTube comments, going back and forth with people.

567
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to save most of it the Baltimore side.

568
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: We'll talk about. Since Ken Rosenthal put out a notes

569
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: column that included some aggressiveness coming up for Baltimore. We

570
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: will get to that. I just want to go back

571
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: to the Grayson side for one more minute while we

572
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: have it before we return here for the Angels. Come on,

573
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: you gotta take a flyer, oh player like this. This

574
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: is a no brainer, no brainer stuff. We've seen it

575
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: play in the big leagues. He's gone through injuries. It's

576
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: nothing out of the ordinary that we have seen from

577
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: other young pitchers in the sport. There is a very

578
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: good chance that Grayson Rodriguez figures out his health and

579
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: then is a very effective picture for the Angels.

580
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: Nope, no chance, Twitter says, no, there's no way. You're wrong.

581
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 2: Scott is wrong. You're wrong. You're an idiot.

582
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: What else idiot?

583
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: Cooked? Favorite word cooked? Army is cooked? Oh really, twenty

584
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: six year old arm with what how many innings in

585
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: the big leagues is cooked already?

586
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 2: Okay, six foot four two and thirty pound specimen. I've

587
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: seen guys be hurt. I've seen it. I've also seen

588
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: him figure it out. I've seen him figure it out,

589
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: and I mean, I can't wait to ask Grayson. I

590
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: can't wait. But the Orioles just keep saying, eh, pitching's

591
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: not that big a deal. We'll get We'll get Chicano.

592
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: Pitching's not that big a deal. We won't give the

593
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: extra year to Corbyn Burns, who really liked it in Baltimore.

594
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 2: So come on, Twitter, bring it on.

595
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: An Angels fan should be excited. I texted with some

596
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: and some people in the media world that were really

597
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: excited for the Angels to pick up a guy like

598
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: this who's not gonna cost much. You would think he's

599
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 1: He's never gone more than like five to seven starts

600
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: in the big leagues. I mean, you know, is two

601
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: seasons here before missing twenty twenty five, twenty three starts,

602
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: twenty starts, well over a hondo innings. It's not like

603
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: he hasn't pitched.

604
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: The Dodgers call that a complete season for there guys.

605
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: True, just time, four crats hats.

606
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 4: What's he wearing? It's like a I think Tigers. It's

607
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 4: like a lightish orange, probably Phillies.

608
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 3: Oh I was right, Burn, Absolutely.

609
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 4: You can go with that. What college team can you

610
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 4: go with that one? Come on, let's se Come on,

611
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 4: it's orange. Come on, baby, come on, last chance? What'd

612
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 4: you say?

613
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: Cles? No?

614
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, thank you not Orange Princeton.

615
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,280

616
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: about them, I know, come on, such a Ruckers guy.

617
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: I just can't get my mind off the Scarlet Knights.

618
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: All right, here we are, we're back. We got a

619
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: few extra minutes. Then we'll throw you to Dodger's territory,

620
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: firing up with that show at three o'clock. Okay, we're

621
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: looking at the non tender candidates for the deadline, which

622
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: happens to be tomorrow night. Maybe we'll get some moves

623
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: as the day continues during the show tomorrow and we

624
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: can talk about either trades or players that get cut loose.

625
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: One name that could be cut loose Jonah him So

626
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: MLB trade rumors hasn't met about six million bucks, and

627
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: you know his defense and offense has declined in the

628
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: last couple of years. It's not big money, but it's

629
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: been talked about.

630
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 3: I have no idea why.

631
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: I don't know where his decline came from. You're talking

632
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: about an all star gold glover and they brought Higgy

633
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: in and Kyle Goshioka ended up getting a lot more

634
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: time than him, I mean, and it's really I feel

635
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: like it's like the Eli Manning theory, Like Eli looks

636
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: like he's like, oh, he's not even into it, and

637
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: then he wins two World Series. Jonah, Him's like body

638
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: language has always been the same, very calm, very controlled,

639
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: and when he was swinging it from both sides of

640
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 2: the plate, that was a guy. And there's been kind

641
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: of a steep decline really the last like season and

642
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: a half season three quarters for him. So six million,

643
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: they feel like it's too much, but he's a big

644
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: league catcher. He'll he'll latch you on somewhere.

645
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,719
Speaker 1: I'll give you a couple other names. I think it's

646
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: almost a lock that the Royals won't hold on to

647
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan India just because he's probably going to make seven

648
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: eight million dollars. So now we can say that trade

649
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: was a win for the Reds to get yourself a starter,

650
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, a mid to mid range to back end

651
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: starter in Brady Singer. Toy eat up innings and pitched

652
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: decently in Cincinnati, India just didn't work out for the team.

653
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: Was sub one hundred, was at eighty nine ops plus

654
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: this year. You know, the defense and base running is

655
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: not stand out there, so you just had a pretty

656
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: rough year. And Kansas City is not going to keep

657
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: a player at that number.

658
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 3: And I see these guys, these older guys. Man, it

659
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: gets harder and harder as you're getting older.

660
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: Crazy, Yeah, how old do you think he is? Twenty

661
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: twenty nine? In a couple of weeks, I'd.

662
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: Say older guys. I mean, I guess now it's older.

663
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: But happens fast, man, it happens fast.

664
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: Another one. You get from Sinceni to KC two, that's

665
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: a tough stadium. And India is about grinding it out.

666
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 2: As soon as he didn't do well and the team

667
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 2: was kind of not as good, and you know he

668
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: started losing some playing time and consistent at bats.

669
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: One more name and this place to what you guys

670
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: were talking about with holding on to everybody. But Ryan

671
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: Mountcastle will probably get cut loose on the Orioles. He

672
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: was a point one wins above replacement player this year,

673
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: eighty three ops plus two eighty six on base. I mean,

674
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't think they're paying him seven eight million bucks,

675
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: which is his approximate number. So he'll get cut. He'll

676
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: get picked up by another team for a few million bucks.

677
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: And then remember the one year he had to deal

678
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: with what they call it Mount Baltimore and then they

679
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: addressed it a little bit. Still. Yeah, Mountcastle didn't turn

680
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: into what they thought he would be.

681
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 4: I remember, I have much time. Yeah, the guy there

682
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 4: was a card show going on. The guy flipped over,

683
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 4: he had the orioles flipped over like a one on

684
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 4: one signed Mountcastle, and somebody told him I'd bought it

685
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 4: off you for twenty thousand right now, and the guy said, no,

686
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 4: so what Hopefully I'm not I'm not going down that road.

687
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 4: But yeah, we'll see. Hey, listen, it's his for his collection.

688
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 4: But that was when he was he was mashing right,

689
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 4: and he was a young buck coming up.

690
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: There was probably a Bowman chrome or something like that.

691
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 4: It was a nasty looking car, meaning good it was

692
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 4: a really good looking car.

693
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: Damn. Hey, things change quickly. So we'll go over some

694
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: of that stuff tomorrow. Good show tomorrow. By the way,

695
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: for a Friday, we got Ken Rosenthal, Grayson Rodriguez just

696
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: traded over to the Angels and Andrew Marshand, who will

697
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: join us to talk about all of the MLB content

698
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: deals that were just signed and sealed. See you then,
