00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he didn't want money. He wanted my body.

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: They didn't want money.

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 2: First time I ever entertained a scam call because they

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,680

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,520

Speaker 2: I'm on low sleep.

43
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: Let's get to a little bit of news. They did it.

44
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: Do you see this shirt?

45
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: I know, I can't believe you're wearing that North Side Territory.

46
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: The cub did it.

47
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: It's the great show, by the way, should check it

48
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: out or the merch Alex Bregman is a Chicago Cup.

49
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: How shocked were you and you were in Chicago on

50
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: the scene. We almost went live to Pruzinski on the

51
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: scene in Chicago and.

52
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: Soldier Field and snow Yeah Live to AJ watching those

53
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: Packers lose and then crying about it. Poor guys. I

54
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 3: didn't really this didn't really come out in the stadium

55
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 3: until the game was kind of over ish, and so

56
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: then people as were as I was walking out, because

57
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 3: if you've never been to Soldier Field, you got to

58
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: walk out like two miles to get anywhere because we

59
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: didn't park, we didn't drive a car at a car service,

60
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: so you have to walk like forever to get out,

61
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: and that people were kind of clamoring about it as

62
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: we're walking. Then I just checking my phone and I

63
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: was like, oh, wow, this is pretty awesome. But you know,

64
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: the Bulls won, the Blackhawks one, the Bears one, and

65
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: the cub signed Alex Bregman in like a twenty five

66
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 3: minute span. So it was a pretty pretty cool moment

67
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: to be in the city of Chicago and people were

68
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 3: very excited. Listen, I love this song. It's a lot

69
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: five one seive. What do you do with Matt Seawan?

70
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: Now?

71
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: Do you trade them? Do you make them a super

72
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: utility guy? What do you do there?

73
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? Trade Matt sha so young?

74
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: Okay, do you trade Nico.

75
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: Horner, then I wouldn't.

76
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: There's a great article by Northside Territory hosts Jadeve Sharman

77
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 2: in The Athletic about why they should.

78
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: Just roll with it.

79
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: I agree, Listen, I think they're finally act. This is

80
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: finally a move they act like a big market team.

81
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: So I love this move for the Cubs. And that's

82
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: hard for me to say, as everyone knows he brings leadership,

83
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: he brings defensive third, he'll hit you some homers, and

84
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: from everything you've talked to hear from people is he

85
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: makes every player better, a younger players, better, veterans player

86
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: because of his preparation and the way he teaches people

87
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: what he looks for. So this is a great move

88
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: for them, and the congratulations code fans. He actually Cubs

89
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: actually are acting like they're the Cubs, and this is

90
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: a move that they did that. And to me, I

91
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: think with the moves they've made Drenth in the bullpen,

92
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: adding rotation, and now you add Bregman, there's got to

93
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: be the favorites in the central Really, people say the Brewers,

94
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: the Brewers, the Brewers. Yeah, this move, the moves they

95
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: made with Hunter Harvey and some of the other bullpen

96
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: moves they made, and then strengthening some positions like benchwise.

97
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 3: I think they're probably the favor right now. I know

98
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 3: Krats is gonna say no, and everyone else is gonna

99
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 3: say what the Brewers find a way to do it

100
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: every year, But I mean this move really helps. It does,

101
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: especially if the Brewers trade Freddy p then I'm.

102
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: Like, that's what I wanted to ask Krats. Krats, do

103
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: you think that the Cubs are the front runners in

104
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: the division now? And if the Brewers trade Freddy prawlte

105
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: does that change your mind?

106
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 4: Oh, the Brewers trade Freddy p Yes for sure, because

107
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 4: everybody else you're just trying to fill in that rotation.

108
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: Nobody would fill in for what Freddy gave them last year.

109
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 4: Are the Brewers in eighty seven win team this year

110
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: like they're predicted?

111
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

112
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 4: Like, obviously we're not supposed to bet against the Brewers

113
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 4: because they just keep showing the naysayers wrong. But the Cubs,

114
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: the Cubs, to me, they're not quite back offensively to

115
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 4: the point where what they what they had from Tucker

116
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: last year, even though he faded in the end. Bregman's

117
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: not going to give them all of that, but you know,

118
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: is this an upgrade, It'll be an upgrade based on

119
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 4: how they deploy the rest of their roster, their rest

120
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 4: their roster, their position player roster is. To me, it's

121
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 4: it's really good. Is it better than last year? And

122
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: last year's offense was clicking, was holding them together, and

123
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: then you know they went.

124
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: Through some ups and downs.

125
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 4: So I think, are they the are they the favorite?

126
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: I would kind of lean towards yes, but I'm not

127
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 4: one hundred percent convinced yet, just because it seven straight

128
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 4: years the Brewers have done, you know, have won more games,

129
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: and everybody thinks they're gonna win.

130
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: Well and fruit offensively. They lose Kyle Tucker, but.

131
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: They can't do anything for him the entire second half.

132
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: He was hurt. Yeah, it did to almost nothing in

133
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: the first July on he was really he didn't do

134
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: a whole on there and honestly their whole production window.

135
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were I think twentieth in runs in the

136
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: second half after I think they finished all really high

137
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 2: mark like maybe five six something like that, and run scored,

138
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: and I know run scored is not the perfect stat

139
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: you know, factor in ballpark, all of that although the

140
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: Cubs ballpark can get so pretty dicey, uh these days

141
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: for hitters, Yes.

142
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: My thing is, my thing is doesn't make them. The

143
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 4: question is are they better? Do you get another year

144
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 4: of like Matt Shaw? Offensively, yes, Bregman's a an upgrade

145
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 4: over him, But like in the second half, you talk

146
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: about what they didn't do in the second half, PA

147
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 4: all Star, he creator, he started creating a little bit

148
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 4: before the All Star Game. Saya Suzuki should have been

149
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 4: an All Star. Cratered in the second half as far

150
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 4: as like number stats wise, Kyle Tucker was obviously going

151
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 4: through injuries that have been well documented. So does signing

152
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 4: Bregman somehow help the whole team from not cratering in

153
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 4: the second half.

154
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: I don't know. But if you're looking at.

155
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 4: Making it, because they make teams right now in the offseason,

156
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 4: they make them based on projections, based on your war

157
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 4: what kind of defensive value you're gonna get in everything?

158
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 4: And Bragman is not an upgrade over Tucker? Is he

159
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 4: an upgrade to this team without Tucker? Obviously he's an

160
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 4: upgrade just hand in hand to Matt Shall. Yeah, people

161
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: are gonna argue Shaw's war was pretty close to the same.

162
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 4: He had good defense. I get it. But to me,

163
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 4: this is a good job by by Jed Hoyer looking

164
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 4: ahead and saying, Nico Horner is gonna be a free agent.

165
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 4: We signed him to a nice little three year, thirty

166
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 4: five million dollar deal to get this one extra year

167
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 4: of free agency, and next year he'll be a free agent.

168
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: Does that mean Shaw moves a second? Does that mean

169
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: Bregman moves the second Shaw comes back to third? To me,

170
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 4: if i'm them, I don't trade any of those guys.

171
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 4: It is a good thing to have a lot of depth.

172
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 4: It's gonna suck for somebody to not get the full

173
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty at bats that you know you're

174
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 4: probably gonna lose. But then next year they slot in

175
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: and they play. You know you have your second and

176

198
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: mean Bregman played what one fourteen this past season. Depth matters,

199
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: and yes, it might suck for a year. If everybody

200
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: just happens to be super healthy and wants to play

201
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: every day, somebody is going to be pissed off. But

202
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: let that be the worst problem, because the Cubs should

203
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: be a more successful ball club. I just don't see

204
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: a world where the Cubs are going to get better

205
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 2: by trading Nico Horner. If they're going to trade him,

206
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: they're likely getting minor league specs back. Is that really

207
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 2: what you want to do at this point? If we're

208
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: playing the numbers game right in baseball and you're looking

209
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: at the war statistic, I mean, I believe Nico Horner

210
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: was at or above Bragman. He was definitely above him

211
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: on baseball reference to.

212
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: This past season he was.

213
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: He was six point two on b WAR, fourth among

214
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: NL position players. I'm bringing this up because a version

215
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: of this is what many front offices look at. So

216
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, if you add Bragman, you freaking keep Nico

217
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: Horner and also have a super tight defense.

218
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: Look at that defense now, they're.

219
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: All about run saved. Yeah, defensive tight Yeah.

220
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: So I don't even think you entertain it. Nico's making

221
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 2: twelve million dollars this coming season. All good operate like

222
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 2: a big market ball club, have a good time, and

223
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: enjoy a guy who has looked at as one of

224
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: the team leaders.

225
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: Craig Council spoke about him at the winter meetings.

226
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: This was Insideed Charma's article, and he said, Nico's great

227
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: at something I think other people think they're good at

228
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: and they're not good at it.

229
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about just players. I'm talking about people.

230
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: When he's talking about reps and completing it perfectly and

231
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: all of that, right, and he's saying, some guys think

232
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: they're good and they're not that good at all of

233
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: the press.

234
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: By the way, as much as we're hyping through Cubs

235
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: at this, what about the Red Sox.

236
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the Red Sox have Pap joining

237
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: us soon.

238
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 3: The Red Sox, this is a this was a huge

239
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: piece of their team last year. What do they do?

240
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I know they went on and got Sonny

241
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: Grand I know they went out and got Wilson and Treres,

242
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: but they they have a whole at third base and

243
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: second base right because they were most I think I

244
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: think most Red Sox fans were like, Ah, we'll keep Bragman,

245
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: We'll bring Bregman back and then we'll figure out second base.

246
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: Whether so, does this bring Boba shit into the Red

247
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: Sox land of opportunity?

248
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna cost more and there's other teams involved.

249
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: My thing is, if you really wanted Bregman, you couldn't

250
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: just figure this shit out.

251
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 3: I love Chris Catillo's text too or tweet by the way.

252
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 3: What so they traded Devers for a one year of

253
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: Alex Bregman and now they don't have either one correct

254
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: and now they're searching for a third baseman.

255
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: Again, had that opt out go? Here's the thing I.

256
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: Think, I honestly believe that every Red Sox fan the

257
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: last path when he comes on, thought that this was

258
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: a done deal, like he's oh, he's coming back, he's

259
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 3: good too. Why would any why would anybody ever walk

260
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: away from the high and mighty Red Sox. Why would

261
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,479
Speaker 3: anybody ever leave the Red Sox, especially we made the playoffs.

262
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: Him and ac are tied, Alex Cora and now all

263
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: of a sudden, here he is boom on the Cubs.

264
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: Five years, won seventy five mil, seventy million dollars in

265
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: deferrals for Bregnant and what it seems like, and this

266
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: was first I think reported from Sean McAdam, is that

267
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 2: the Red Sox would not go past five years, one

268
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: sixty five mil. That was their final offer, with significant

269
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 2: deferrals that were going to be paid out later than

270
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: the Cubs too. So it actually then his present value gets.

271
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: It to distant.

272
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: The Red Sox made an offer early in the off season.

273
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 3: Whatever that was, let's say five one fifty. I don't know.

274
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 3: These are not the real numbers. Okay, I don't know

275
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: the real numbers.

276
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: Okay.

277
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 3: They made an offer at Alex Pragman early in the

278
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: offseason and said here it is, and then his camp

279
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 3: kept going back saying that's not our market. Our market's

280
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 3: higher than that, and it made Alex a little bit

281
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: mad and they would not move. So then the Red

282
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 3: Sox were like, okay, well take it or leave it,

283
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 3: and they will not budge. Then Bregman's camp with Boris

284
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 3: goes back to him and says, hey, we have a

285
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: higher offer and we're gonna probably take it, and the

286
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: Red Sox were like, we don't believe you. If you

287
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: can do it, do it. And then they said, okay,

288
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 3: well we're gonna sign. We're not telling you the number.

289
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: We're gonna sign with a different team. And that's when

290
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 3: the Red Sox went to this five one sixty five.

291
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: But Bregman was already one mad and two had a

292
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: higher offer. And the longer the more they tried to

293
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 3: stretch it out, the longer and farther down the road

294
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: the deferrals got so Bregman's like, I'm getting more money

295
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: in a shorter amount of time. I'm going to the cob.

296
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: What does he owe the Red Sox Nothing, That's what

297
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 3: I'm saying. But the Red Sox literally would not move

298
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 3: and would not budget, really wouldn't negotiate until it was

299
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 3: almost Well, it wasn't almost too late, it was too late.

300
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: And now they're like, uh, we messed that one up.

301
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: And now obviously Red Sox fans are flipping out about it.

302
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Cubs fans should be thrilled. They went through

303
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: this last year, Kratz. Last year, the Cubs were trying

304
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: to play ball for Bragman and very interested in him

305
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: and didn't land him.

306
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: So did the Tigers.

307
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: And the Tigers, from what I heard, did this to

308
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: Pregmant last year, the same thing that the Red Sox

309
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: did this year. They said, here's an offer, take it

310
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 3: or leave it. We don't know who your market is.

311
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: Six s one point five, by the way, was the

312
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: number last year.

313
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, they wouldn't move though, again that was.

314
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: The highest they'd go.

315
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 3: They wouldn't move. Yeah, And so Bregman was like, well,

316
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: I can get opt out or do you get this

317
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 3: opt out deal with the Red Sox. And then he

318
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 3: got his five one to seventy five, so we got

319
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 3: six almost two hundred you count the one year in Boston.

320
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, two hundred plus and deferrals make it a little murky,

321
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: but he got way whatever he got more. Yes, it's

322
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: sometimes difficult to do the present day value on the

323
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: fly like that when you're doing comps from past years.

324
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: But regardless, yeah, he did better. He got what he

325
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: wanted deal done.

326
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: And actually when you look at it, it's not crazy, right,

327
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: five one seventy five and there's deferrals there, So we'll

328
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: figure out what the exact n.

329
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: Hit we hit the Ballinger later in the show. I

330
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 3: want to talk about some stuff too there just one

331
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: could affect the other and how this just because we

332
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: had a whole thing on this on Friday, Crawts, you

333
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: were on, but I went on a little bit about

334
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 3: Bellinger and what, you know, what his market might look like.

335
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: And I've talked to some people and it's been clarified

336
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: a little bit for me. So we'll see how Bregman

337
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: affects Bellinger. Talk about it.

338
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: But for Bregman, no trade clause, no opt outs. This

339
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: is it good?

340
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it, Fred and seventy five million Alex. This

341
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: is it baby, all right?

342
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: So what's next? Who is next to sign? Will it

343
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: be the Yankee signing Cody Bellinger?

344
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: Not?

345
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: According to Buster Only, He said the Yankees are now

346
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: operating under the assumption that Bellinger is going to sign elsewhere.

347
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, posturing by the Yanks to be like, well, that's it.

348
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: They just they have a five year deal on the

349
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: table and now they're like, oh, he's not taking it,

350
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 3: so we're gonna move on.

351
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, we think it's five thirty and they're like, ugh,

352
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: you don't appreciate it.

353
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: Has not been offered a six year deal according to

354
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 3: the Numeros sources, so maybe it's five. Okay.

355
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: If it's not six, then it's four or five.

356
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: Much right now? And I learned. I've learned a lot

357
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 3: since we talked to Bellinger last time. First of all,

358
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: I was told that the Bragman signings should open up

359
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 3: the free some free agents signings other ones. Now there's

360
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: a little bit more of an established market. Second of all,

361
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 3: we had a whole conversation. I was like, if you

362
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: go back this many years. You know, da da da

363
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: da dad. What I was told is teams usually an

364
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: agents only go back three the last three years for

365
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: comps for comps.

366
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: Now agents do that or teams do that?

367
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 3: I think both both.

368
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: Okay.

369
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: So then the other thing that's interesting to me is

370
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: you can make an argument, and certain people make this

371
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: argument that Bellinger for the last three years has actually

372
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 3: been better than Bragman. Andy's two years younger. I'm not

373
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: saying that he gets more than Bragman, but I'm saying

374
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: some people out there could think it could make You

375
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 3: could make a case that he should get more than

376
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 3: break What about the no longer? Don't you think that's

377
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 3: where they year the seven years?

378
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Bregman also has a sauce to him.

379
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 3: That I'm not I'm not. I'm just I'm just saying

380
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 3: what people are saying.

381
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I understand that, but agree or disagree Bregman

382
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: and say Kyle Schwarber right in different ways a little bit,

383
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: but have a certain sauce that people afies their value.

384
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 3: I'm not going to the media and people in their

385
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: clubhouse have come out and said Bregman makes everyone better,

386
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 3: Charmer makes everybody better. So teams see this in the

387
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: media repeatedly and they're like, Oh, he can make our

388
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: team better, let's bring him in.

389
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: I think that it.

390
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 3: Matters because then if you have if there's a guy

391
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: out there and like, oh, he doesn't really make anybody better, Oh,

392
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: we don't want to touch him.

393
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: Bellinger's cool. I gat he's not. We know everyone would

394
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: say that.

395
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 3: No, but he's better defensively. Yeah, he earns a lot

396
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: of his war defensively. He's better defensively than look at

397
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 3: his war, B war, D war, whatever it is.

398
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean, different positions.

399
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: But it doesn't matter who had a higher war last year,

400
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 3: Bregman or Bellinger Bellinger.

401
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: Okay, Bregman also played a hundred and what fourteen games

402
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: and how many?

403
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: But he had almost a two war less one three

404
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 3: point five to five point Wait.

405
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: Wait, way close, Okay, I'm sorry.

406
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: I mean Bellinger over the last three years nine point

407
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: nine twelve point one.

408
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: Wait.

409
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 2: I just want to document history right now. I am

410
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: on a different side of the coin.

411
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 3: Here they had about the same war.

412
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: AJ is calculating war.

413
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 3: I'm just saying this is how teams look at it.

414
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: Ops plus one twenty eight one sixteen one twenty two

415
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: for Bregman and for Bellinger one thirty nine to eleven.

416
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 3: Better for Bellinger last three year. I'm just going last

417
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 3: three years. I'm not Plus he plays center field, Plus

418
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 3: he can play first base. Plus he'll steal your bases.

419
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 3: I'm not listen. I'm not making the argument one's better

420
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 3: than the other. I'm just saying the way I was

421
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 3: told for people. This is how market teams and agents

422
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: look at it, and they say, well, if the market

423
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 3: for Bellinger or for Bregman is five five, you can

424
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: make an argument Bellinger is actually better. He should get more, longer,

425
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 3: longer term, and more.

426
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 2: Who do you want over the next five years? I mean,

427
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: it's a show. We have to do it all. Who

428
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 2: do you guys want over the next five years? I

429
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 2: take Bregman both. No, you can't do that.

430
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 3: I can't tell me what I can and can't do.

431
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, But if you're upstaining, then you're obstaining krats.

432
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 4: Who am I? Who am I putting? What team am

433
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 4: I putting him on? Am I putting?

434
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

435
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: But you guys are doing defensive fits like, oh, he's

436
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 2: a better defender than him, Like they're playing two different positions.

437
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: We're supposed to be equal, though, Scott, at your end,

438
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 3: all be.

439
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 2: All stat Okay, so you have an opening in the

440
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: outfield and at third base.

441
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 3: Which team, which which park and which team because parking matters.

442
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 4: Bellinger doesn't need to be the Alex Bregman of the

443
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 4: team because they have judge. So to me, Bellinger is

444
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 4: more valuable to the Yankees. So I take Bellinger if

445
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 4: you're making me choose, I love I love breg I

446
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: think I think Bregman to the Red Sox is more

447
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 4: valuable than Bregman to the Cubs. People are gonna be like,

448
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 4: what does that even mean? You're an idiot, But to me,

449
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 4: it's all based on how if you're using that like

450
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 4: intangible Kyle Schwarber, Alex Bregman. They got the sauce, like

451
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 4: you said, Scott, that plays at different places. That is

452
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 4: a if there's already an established leader on the team

453
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 4: that plays at different places, and maybe the Cubs needed

454
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 4: that guy. We just heard that maybe Nico Horner was

455
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 4: probably that guy for them, or you know, Danzy Swanson

456
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 4: is that guy, whatever it is. But I think your

457
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 4: your sauce fits on a team a certain team differently

458
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 4: and I think breg I think Bellinger's ability to back

459
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 4: up Ben Rice at first base if he goes to

460
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: catch a few games, gives him versatility. The fact that

461
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,239
Speaker 4: he can play center field. If Trent Grisham has a

462
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 4: down year, something happens, they're slotting a center fielder into field,

463
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 4: and he doesn't if he lacks that Bregmann leadership or

464
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: Swarber leadership, which is rare, elite type of leadership that

465
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 4: we hear.

466
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: In the game.

467
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: Judge has already got that.

468
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 4: Judge is already the guy, and he's not going to

469
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 4: step on Judge's toes.

470
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: It's a good explanation, and I want to double down.

471
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 2: I like Cody Bellinger, and I think he's worth thirty

472
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 2: million dollars per year. We did this exercise on Friday together.

473
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: We were like, if the Yankees are not offering him

474
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: five years, shame on them. Yes, if Belly's asking for seven,

475
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone else is going to give

476
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 2: him seven at that rate, that's just my guess.

477
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: We don't know everything. And then six we were like, Okay,

478
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: I can see.

479
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 3: That we also didn't have the Bregmann contract. Now to

480
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: look at either sure and I know they're different players,

481
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 3: different positions at the ages, but I'm just saying, if

482
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: you're younger, if everyone's if you go back and look

483
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 3: say numbers, it changes.

484
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 2: Six at one thirty. Didn't we literally said six at

485
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 2: thirty or one eighty, And I think everyone's happy, didn't

486
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: we say that?

487
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, nobody's gotten to six yet. Then, so then

488
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 3: if they say it's listen Bellinger, then if that's all

489
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 3: you got, you gotta take it, right.

490
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: If that's all you have, you got to take it.

491
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: But if you've got some other team lurking Cubs just

492
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: did with the Red Sox.

493
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: Well, the Cubs have always been a rumored team for Bragman.

494
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: It's not like they just came out. We had always said, oh,

495
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: Bregman would fit last year. Remember we said, oh Bregman

496
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: wuld fit nicely on the Cubs. We said that last

497
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 3: year and the Tigers and the Tigers, and the Tigers

498
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 3: definitely weren't pulling that trigger in the Cubs we didn't

499
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: think would either. Yeah, right, so then but then after time,

500
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, the Tigers.

501
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: Did pull the trigger. They just came up short on

502
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: last year.

503
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: Not this year. But then this year but then for

504
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 3: Bregman this year with the Cubs, like everyone again it

505
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 3: goes back to every Red Sox fan just assumed he's

506
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 3: going to be a Red Sox again.

507
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so then they missed.

508
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're trying to figure out the place for him,

509
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: and it does still feel like the Yanks, and so

510
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: they're just having a good old fashioned stare down right now.

511
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: There's other spots.

512
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 3: I mean, that'd be great on the Angels.

513
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: Angels would be big. Oh my gosh, they Met's Angels.

514
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: Met's is a fit. Yeah, shake it up.

515
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna get to some quick hitter news.

516
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 2: So let's start with Freddie Freeman actually dropping out of

517
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic for Team Canada for personal reasons.

518
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 2: I mean, what are the reasons, I don't know. But

519
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 2: also Freddy's in the playoffs every year, he's getting up there.

520
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, you want a reference your thing

521
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: that's fair dying to go back in fairness, I can

522
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 2: say this with confidence. Team Canada is not winning a

523
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic. I know that's not in a great excuse,

524
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 2: and you want to see Freddy there. But two years

525
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: ago I was going through the ankle I don't know.

526
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 2: You never know what someone's going through, and he wants

527
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 2: to be geared up for the Dodgers this year to

528
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: try and repeat.

529
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: How is Jamison Taian Canadian?

530
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: What do you mean?

531
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 3: He just is born He's from Houston. He is born

532
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: in Florida.

533
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: Wasn't he born in Lakeland?

534
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean Lakeland's not I mean a metropolis, but

535
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 3: it's also not Canada.

536
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: You did your homework on that.

537
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: I think he played. I think he played. I mean

538
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 3: he was.

539
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 4: He was with that like original crew of really good start,

540
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 4: like Francis ty On and then uh like Filipo Mont

541
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 4: like they had some Ryan Dempster, LaRue well after Dempster,

542
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 4: but Chris LaRue like all those guys.

543
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: This is I think the same connection that Freddie Freeman

544
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 2: has because Freddy never lived in his parents his parents,

545
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: and for Jamison, his mother is Canadian, so there was

546
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: no living in.

547
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: Living in is not a requirement.

548
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 3: I just didn't know what the connection was there. So

549
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 3: good for him, Liten, you get to play and if

550
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 3: you're not going to be in USA, I mean Freddie

551
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: probably maybe could have been on USA, but he's also

552
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: said I'm playing for Canada. The last two times, so

553
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 3: he was definitely someone the Canadians were counting on. Good

554
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: for Freddy whatever, we'll ask him when we go to

555
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 3: Dodger camp.

556
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, huge blow to the Canadian team obviously.

557
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: Then he went.

558
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 4: Ernie WIT's been a manager for Team Canada for every

559
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 4: year for WBC. For the qualifiers, Ernie went Larry Walker,

560
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 4: two Stalwarts, and uh and Leaper Leaper the third base

561
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 4: coach for the Padres, and then Stubby Clap Canadian legends.

562
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: Well, Canada's got a good right now with baseball, so

563
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 2: they might not win the WBC, but the Blue Jays

564
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: are looking damn good.

565
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's do quick hitter signings.

566
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start with Ryan Stanek going to the Saint

567
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: Louis Cardinals.

568
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: Like me, okay, I mean, well, good for Ryan Stannick.

569
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's coming off.

570
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 3: It's gonna have a down year for Him's gonna happen.

571
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 3: He's gonna go out and ball out and in July

572
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: they're gonna be like, hey, Ryan, you're going to a new.

573
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: Tea Bingo one year, three and a half million and

574
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: a six million dollar club option for the year after.

575
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: That's actually big.

576
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 2: I mean, if you performed well he could be worth

577
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 2: that number, but yeah, he's coming off again.

578
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: I know Ja is not the end.

579
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: All, be all for for reliever, but it was one

580
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: of his worst year's era wise, five three zero. The

581
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: walks were up, but stuff wise, there's still a lot

582
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: to light there. I mean, the big fastball, splitter, a

583
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: couple breaking balls that play. So the Cardinals have actually

584
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: had some success with this. Philm Ayton last year, this

585
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: is we.

586
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 3: You should do if you're not trying to win, which

587
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: the Cardinals have kind of said, we're not really trying

588
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: to win. Right, You go out and you sign these

589
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 3: veteran guys to cheaper deals, and then you trade them

590
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 3: at the deadline and you get something back. Maybe that

591
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: person helps you this year, next year, two years from now.

592
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 3: And they said, man, we got this guy for Ryan

593
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 3: Stannick for those three months where we had Ryan Stannick.

594
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 2: It's exactly what you should be doing if you're the

595
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: Cardinals and you're in rebuild mode. Next up, the Cincinnati

596
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 2: Reds woke up this off season after falling asleep post

597
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 2: losing the Kyle Schwarber sweepstakes, and they signed Pierce Johnson

598
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: one year, six and a half million Bucks great for

599
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 2: the Reds bullpen to strengthen it a little bit. They

600
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: also brought back Amelia Pagan, so the Reds bullpen should

601
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: be strong. They've done a really nice job in terms

602
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: of pitch talent. You know, it's something that you thought

603
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 2: you'd never see, right, there were times in life where

604
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: you'd watch the Reds and be like, damn, I mean,

605
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 2: you just it's so difficult in that ballpark. All the

606
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: pitchers get lit up, and you're like, all right, maybe

607
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: the ballparks changed and maybe like in terms of you know,

608
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: how the baseball is playing there. But also this team

609
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: is I think put a pretty strong emphasis on improving

610
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 2: their pitching, not I mean development, of course, but also

611
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 2: craps just spending more on pitching, drafting, pitching very consistently.

612
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: Right the famous move of Chase Burns over Charlie Condon,

613
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,479
Speaker 2: which might turn out really well for them. So thoughts

614
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: on the Reds doing a little high leverage reliever ad here.

615
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 4: This I mean, I love the high leverage reliever ad

616
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 4: every every team needs it. They had a taste of

617
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 4: the playoffs, so you know you need that when it

618
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 4: comes down to it, and you got to find somebody

619
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 4: you got to find somebody that's like, ah, you know,

620
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 4: this guy didn't work as a starter, so we threw

621
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 4: him in the pen and he became our third guy.

622
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 4: If you have Pegan and you have Pierce Johnson and

623
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 4: then you have that guy, now you have a three

624
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 4: headed beast at the end. But they started this back

625
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 4: in two thousand and nineteen after the eighteen season, when

626
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 4: they brought Derek Johnson over. You talk about a team

627
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 4: the Reds, who you're like, oh, you said it, Scott can't.

628
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 4: Nobody can pitch in Cincinnati. It's too small. No pitchers

629
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 4: want to get there. They went out and they got,

630
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 4: in my opinion, one of the best pitching coaches available,

631
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 4: and in DJ Derek Johnson, who was the pitching coach

632
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 4: for the Brewers, and they said, we're going to give you.

633
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 4: The industry gives out whatever two year deals to pitching coaches.

634
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 4: They gave him an extra year. Like they went above

635
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 4: and beyond in an area where it was like, oh,

636
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 4: it's a weakness to be you know, have some good

637
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 4: pitching in Cincinnati. And since then they've kind of build

638
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 4: it to what it is. You've gotten a lot of

639
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 4: value out of the extension. That you signed from Hunter Green.

640
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 4: He seems to like he seems to be taking the

641
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 4: next step. Can they continue that? To me if they

642
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 4: do continue it, because they have over the last three

643
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 4: years of just slightly increasing and changing and making adjustments,

644
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 4: each pitcher getting better and better. And then finally the offense,

645
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 4: which I thought was going to be the part of

646
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 4: the organization that carried them. Maybe some of those guys

647
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 4: step up, those young guys that everyone's so much promise

648
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 4: had this year this injury. Now they got to come back,

649
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 4: steroid use all that stuff. They should score runs, But

650
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 4: right now they're just run prevention.

651
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're about short in my mind, from feeling really good.

652
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 2: And maybe they continue to play the song and dance

653
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 2: with the White Sox over Luis Robert. Maybe there's someone

654
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: else there involved. And you always see that connection with

655
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: those two where clearly they're not in line, and I'm

656
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: betting they're not in line, more on the money side

657
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: than the prospect side, but trying to improve at the margins.

658
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: If there's one thing you know Pierce Johnson can do,

659
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 2: it's sling a curveball. Yeah, he's at i mean now

660
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: two years of about three quarters of his pitches the curve,

661
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: so you like the bride and of the bullpen.

662
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: If you need a curveball guy, you got him.

663
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 4: Are we supposed to Are we supposed to look at

664
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 4: the Red lineup and go, yes, all these guys are

665
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 4: just mediocre.

666
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 3: One point two to one point you.

667
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: Know, five win players or one hundred and seven ops plus,

668
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 4: Like when is O'Neil cruz gonna take the next step?

669
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 4: Is mcclean's surgery The injury had to his shoulder, the.

670
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: One that's say, what did I say, O'Neill?

671
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 3: I meant Elliot.

672
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: Yep.

673
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 4: But you know, Spencer Steer has always been the guy.

674
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 3: T J.

675
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 4: Friedel's a guy that drives in a ton of runs,

676
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 4: kind of more of an unassuming player. Noelvi Marte made

677
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 4: some beautiful plays in right field last year as he

678
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 4: made that transition. Is where his numbers before inflated because

679
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 4: the steroids like, I don't think there's an organization. I

680
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 4: don't think there's a position player corps that's as young

681
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 4: and underachieving as the Reds, probably not to the extent

682
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 4: of like the Orioles. The Orioles, you know, they have

683
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: a great young core that you're like all right, these

684
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 4: guys need to take the next step too. But in

685
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 4: that in that case, you know, Gunnar Henderson's has taken

686
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 4: the next step. Gunner Henderson's proven he can be a star.

687
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 4: Who in this reds Cores can prove that they're gonna

688
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 4: be a star or are they all just kind of

689
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 4: like Ellie where it's like so much, so much potential,

690
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 4: but nobody wants to take that next step.

691
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: Solid players.

692
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 3: They of course, it would be nice to see him.

693
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 3: I know they tried for Shorebert Bushit or Bellinger or

694
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 3: somebody like that, just a veteran guy that could really

695
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 3: do some damage. It won't happen, but they found a

696
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 3: way because they said, oh, Schwarbur would help us sell tickets. Well,

697
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 3: so Boba shit and so Cody, why would.

698
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 4: He help sell tickets because he's there? Because he went,

699
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 4: I mean, what are you gonna get. You're gonna get

700
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 4: to local, you know, Cincinnati High School Local night? You

701
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 4: sell an extra thirty tickets? Like, I think that's a if,

702
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 4: that's if that's really what they're saying to me. I

703
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 4: think that's a tired excuse. He's gonna help the team

704
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 4: because of all the things I just mentioned. They have

705
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 4: a good young core that he's gonna get these dudes

706
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 4: to be, Like, I don't want to say be out

707
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 4: there every day because like that's not fair to that

708
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 4: team to say, oh, they don't want to be out No.

709
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 4: I think guys Ellie played through injuries last year, Matt

710
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 4: McLean was coming back from his shoulder surgery. Like, there's

711
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 4: a lot of things. I just think. I just think

712
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 4: there is that piece, and I think Schwerber would have

713
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 4: been an awesome piece to add to that. But some

714
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 4: of these guys need to step up. And I think

715
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 4: if they do step up and they hit closer to

716
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 4: their potential, I think the Reds are dangerous even in

717
00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 4: the central with Bregman.

718
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: Go to the Cubs. Good call. Let's hit hot Corner.

719
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 2: On Friday at three two pm, two minutes after Vowel

720
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: Territory Live ended, we received a press release that Max

721
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: Kepler has been suspended eighty games for ped usage. He

722
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: is a free agent, as John Hammond noted Captain obvious,

723
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: this will not help.

724
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: His free agency.

725
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: He tested positive for something that I don't even know

726
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 2: how to pronounce, so you can go online and look

727
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 2: up more on it. We're not going to do science territory.

728
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: That show doesn't come out until June of twenty twenty seven.

729
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 2: But in all seriousness, not good for the player.

730
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 3: No, no, not good Nope, pen I mean now a

731
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 3: team will be like, hey Max, we'll sign you for

732
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 3: one year, one million, and no, by the way, you

733
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: lose half of that before you start. I mean that's

734
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 3: basically what he's gonna have to do and then suck

735
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 3: it up for eighty games. He was, you know what

736
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 3: he was hoping. He was hoping he would sign before

737
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 3: this news broke A lah jerks and Profar Right.

738
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Profar, you think tested? I think that.

739
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what the timing that's that's at again again,

740
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: I don't know the timing the league will give. I

741
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 2: mean they're probably not. I don't know how it all

742
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 2: goes behind the scenes. But if somebody did test positive,

743
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 2: I feel like a team would.

744
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: Know about it. Is that what you know?

745
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 3: Absolutely not?

746
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: So then you would just sign him and then find out, Hey, surpriseps.

747
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 3: They don't know.

748
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 4: Team knows nothing about it. Even if you're on a team,

749
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 4: team knows nothing about it. You're the first one, only one.

750
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 4: So anytime it's ever released beforehand appealing or anybody that's

751
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 4: been released by the player, so there's no they could

752
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 4: have signed them. They could have signed them. And then

753
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 4: they've been like, wait, you knew about this to me

754
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 4: this timing. It was an off season test. And we

755
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 4: might talk about Andrew mccutchon's offseason test before, but this

756
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 4: because you always get an appeal process.

757
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: You get in.

758
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 4: Whether whether players take it or not, you know, that's

759
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 4: that's up to them, whether they want to fight it. No,

760
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 4: it was I went to Mexico, I had a steak.

761
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 4: I didn't do it. I don't know who knows what

762
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 4: he did, but they they are the only ones to know.

763
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 4: Teams do not know. The league does not know. Players

764
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 4: Association does not know. I think the players Association is

765
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 4: actually the second maybe they're the second one notified, but

766
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 4: I know the teams do not know.

767
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: Y'all.

768
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 3: Steak in Mexico it gets me every time, and that's

769
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 3: I need steaks in Mexico.

770
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: Now I can have them. I don't care. That's me.

771
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 3: But in all seriousness, listen, can we show the Andrew

772
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 3: mccutch and stuff, because I find this this is the part.

773
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: We can't talk about this at all anymore. That's it.

774
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, what are you gonna say, mex number,

775
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 3: don't cheat, you got caught. Bang, that's it. People in chatter,

776
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 3: I don't know his numbers, saying numbers went way up

777
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 3: in July, so maybe that was it. But anyways, this

778
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 3: is what happens if this was an off season test.

779
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 3: I don't know Krafts. I'm sure he got tested in

780
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: the off season. But they call you and they say, hey,

789
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: I got five kids in church.

790
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 2: But let's get that urine sample real quick, UNC, and

791
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 2: then you give us more update. I didn't give enough

792
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 2: of the year in sample. So I'm currently outside in

793
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 2: this Pittsburgh weather shirtless to see if that will speed

794
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: this process up.

795
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: I live for this update. That worked.

796
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in.

797
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: You have to let them know if you're well.

798
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 3: They call you. So you get a number they you

799
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 3: get this random phone call and they'll be and they'll say, oh,

800
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 3: this is CDT blah blah blah. Are you home. And

801
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 3: if you say yes, they say, okay, well there'll be

802
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 3: a guy at your house or a girl. There'll be

803
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 3: a CDT agent at your house in the next forty

804
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 3: five minutes. Or if you say no, I'm out of town,

805
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 3: I'm on vacation. I'll be home Tuesday at eight o'clock,

806
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 3: they'll be like, all right, there'll be someone there at

807
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 3: eight thirty. I remember one time at my house the

808
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 3: guy showed up at like seven in the morning and

809
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 3: I had breakfast for him. I'm like, you want some

810
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 3: donuts and some coffee while we're sitting because when you

811
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 3: wake up, you pee. Most people wake up when they

812
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 3: urinate when they get we have to wake up. So

813
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 3: then you're like, all right, well, how do I get

814
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 3: this to get right? So you gotta start drinking water

815
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 3: and you just got to sit there because the guy

816
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 3: just sits there and watches it. In your house, he's

817
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 3: just like sitting at a counter like so.

818
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: You guys share some donuts and coffee, and then I.

819
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 3: Mean, what are you gonna drink too much? You can't

820
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 3: go anywhere drink too much?

821
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: Too much?

822
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 4: What because it couldn't It could get diluted. If you

823
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 4: can't pee enough, then you drink too much, and the

824
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 4: samples too diluted. The one time they got, they got

825
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 4: me in the afternoon, and every time I would go

826
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 4: work out, I work out from I drop my kids

827
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 4: off at school, work out from eight to eleven, and

828
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 4: I would drink a gallon of water while I was

829
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 4: working out. My pea's pretty clear. The guy calls. I'm like, okay,

830
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 4: he comes over early afternoon. Nope, sorry, sample's too clear.

831
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 4: Stop drinking. They'll stop drinking, but you need more pea.

832
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 4: So I'm supposed to be dehydrated. I got one time

833
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 4: I got the samp, the CDT guy, and they had

834
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 4: to coordinate. Somebody'd come and take my blood at the

835
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 4: same time, so they had two people sitting in my

836
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 4: house taking blood, taking pea. Another time I was on

837
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 4: a I was in a at a conference out in

838
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 4: uh Colorado Springs. Beautiful hotel ran on the lake. I'm

839
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 4: not even sure what the hotel was called five star hotel.

840
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 4: This dude's got to come to the got to come

841
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 4: to the either public bathroom. Because they called me and

842
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 4: they're like, are you home. I was like no, I'm

843
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 4: in Colorado Springs and they said, well, we need to

844
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 4: come and visit you in your hotel. So I'm at

845
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 4: this conference with my wife, Professional Athletes Outreach it was called,

846
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 4: and they were like, well, can we go into the

847
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 4: public bathroom in the hotel. I was like no, I'm

848
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 4: not going into a bathroom with another dude. So we

849
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 4: went up to my hotel room and I'm in my

850
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 4: hotel room and I'm like, why am I in my

851
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 4: hotel room with a drug testing guy? Like what is

852
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 4: this happening? Like what is going on? So yeah, they're

853
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 4: everywhere and they'll find you. They will find you. They

854
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 4: called me after I quit. Yeah, they called me after

855
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 4: I quit. They were like, hey, we're gonna come to

856
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 4: your house.

857
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 3: Are you home.

858
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 4: I was like I quit, playing longest pause ever. The

859
00:39:53,920 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 4: woman on the phone was like, all right, that was it.

860
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 4: She ain't got the news.

861
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 2: Do you want to know why you were in a

862
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 2: bathroom in your hotel room with a tester? Max Kepler

863
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 2: Jerkson profar, let's go down the line. This is why

864
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 2: because they catch.

865
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 3: But see here's what people used to do. And this

866
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 3: is something that needs also be said, is what the

867
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 3: the reason why they have the dilution test and all

868
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 3: that is what guys would do is when they were

869
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 3: doing things, and then they stopped allowing you to go

870
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 3: in the hot tub, and they stopped allowing you to

871
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 3: going to the cold tub because guys were doing stuff,

872
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 3: and then they would drink but they would be like, oh,

873
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 3: I don't have to pee. They go, well, I got

874
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 3: to get my work done. Postgame, they go in the

875
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 3: hot tub, they go in the cold tub, they drink

876
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 3: a ton of water, and they'd pee in the hot

877
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 3: in the cold tub until and they just keep drinking water.

878
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 3: I can't pee, I can't pee, I can't pete. And

879
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 3: then it would come out to where it was clear

880
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 3: and it was too diluted to test, and they'd be like, okay,

881
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 3: well you can't test today or too diluted. And that's

882
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 3: how they would get that's how the guys got past

883
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 3: these things. So now they banned you post game from

884
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 3: going in the hot tub in the cold tub because

885
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 3: they're like Nope, you got a pee and you got

886
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 3: a p first before. These dudes follow you everywhere. They're

887
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 3: their pregame. They follow you everywhere you go. They're right

888
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 3: behind you on the field, they watch you on the field,

889
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 3: they watch you come in.

890
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: They're heroes though, because they have saved so many hot

891
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: tubs and cold tubs from being just yellow piss nastiness.

892
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 4: No people would drain them. You knew if the hot

893
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 4: tubs were drained in the middle of the day that

894
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,479
Speaker 4: that's what was going on. Somebody was trying to clear

895
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 4: their system. Saw it plenty of times. I saw pictures

896
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 4: go out to the bullpen. The the guy can't go

897
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 4: into the bullpen, so he watches you and they would

898
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 4: go out to the bullpen and they would pee in

899
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 4: the bullpen bathroom. They would make they would make the

900
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 4: the testing guys stay all day long and look like

901
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 4: people are all talking talking about the fact that he

902
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 4: hit two sixteen, like he's on steroids.

903
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 3: You know that those steroids sucked all that stuff.

904
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 4: Or maybe he hit two sixteen and he was like,

905
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 4: I don't want to do that again, and he was

906
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 4: looking for a performance and answer.

907
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 2: Then yeah, do you guys start to think, oh, how

908
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 2: long has this been going on? When you hear about this,

909
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get the.

910
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 3: Players has been going on. It's been going on since forever.

911
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 2: With the individual person, Like, oh, when he shows up

912
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: to camp, if he signs a deal, is everybody going

913
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 2: to be like, well, I'm looking back that that.

914
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen when he took off.

915
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 3: You know what, it's always a question happened. It's always

916
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 3: a question now forever, but forever. Rob I look at

917
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 3: the biggest example of well a Rod we all know

918
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 3: in his whole thing, Like when did he start? You

919
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 3: know he says, oh, I only hit five homers. I'm like,

920
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 3: oh god, dude, Like I know people that said you

921
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 3: were doing them way back way back in the day, right,

922
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 3: so you never know, Robinson Cano. That's a big thing

923
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 3: with Robinson Cano, like, oh, he tested positive in Seattle,

924
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 3: but was he doing them with a Rod back in

925
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 3: New York. It's we're not blaming or accusing anybody, but

926
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 3: those are questions that are asked now kind of like

927
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 3: especially players, right, players are like this guy doing these

928
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 3: because this back then we don't know. So it's always

929
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 3: going to be there once you test positive and it sucks,

930
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 3: but don't don't do drugs kids.

931
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 4: But it also, I mean, it's also it's just as

932
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 4: applicable as anything else in life. Very rarely does somebody

933
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 4: get caught for a DUI. The very first and only

934
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 4: time they went had some drinks and they went and

935
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 4: dropped drove like you've been testing the limit for a

936
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 4: little while. Like the guys that I the guys that

937
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 4: I know that have tested positive for steroids were not

938
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 4: one time offenders. They had snuff, especially now, especially now

939
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 4: with all that we know about masking agents and everything,

940
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 4: and always being ahead of the testing, the testing, trying

941
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 4: to keep up all that stuff they're skirting by. Nobody

942
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 4: ever tests me, like I live in this place. Nobody

943
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 4: ever tests. You know, I'm here, like I'm willing to

944
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 4: take the chance for what a kepler get ten million

945
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 4: dollars until all the money is taken away from guys

946
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 4: who test positive, You're always going to have it out there.

947
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 4: And as soon as so many tests positive, Scott, your

948
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 4: question was, do you think it's you know, it was

949
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 4: more than that. Yeah, I do, I do, And I

950
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 4: think my view has come way down from when you

951
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 4: know two thousand and eight two thousand and nine, where

952
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 4: everybody that had a career year, I was like, hmm,

953
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 4: career year, came into camp best shape of his life,

954
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 4: twenty pounds bigger. I'm like, I'm grinding away in the

955
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 4: weight room, no weight change, no like body change like that,

956
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 4: and these dudes come in and they're just completely different units. Yeah,

957
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 4: Like that was that was what I thought all the time,

958
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 4: and I voiced it before with Jackson Profar, like, you

959
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 4: just don't gain, Like there's anomalies in the sport, but

960
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 4: those anomalies are like dudes who make swing changes at

961
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 4: twenty two not at thirty in your platform, and then

962
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 4: you get fifty million dollars.

963
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: Right.

964
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 2: It causes suspicion and that's why as funny as some

965
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 2: of the processes, it's important for the game wise, even

966
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 2: more dudes would be doing it.

967
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: And Ryan in the chat said, WHOA, WHOA are we.

968
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 2: Listening to two former players picking up on suspicious things

969
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 2: teammates did to avoid failing a DREADS test.

970
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: Is that enabling cheating? Then?

971
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 2: I don't think everybody's locked into to YouTube right now,

972
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 2: being like I gotta get tips from Krafts and AJ

973
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: on what they saw their teammates doing.

974
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it's it's that far making like.

975
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 4: He was he saying that I enabled it because one

976
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 4: of my teammates, oh decisions. I think that's what he's

977
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 4: saying is I should have turned my teammate in for

978
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 4: for what, Like there was other things that guys took,

979
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 4: not just steroids, like that they wanted to get out

980
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 4: of their system, Like they're testing for more than just steroids.

981
00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 4: So like that's like if I make am I making

982
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 4: like judgments based on what my teammates are doing, Like

983
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 4: you saw it and you went about your career, you

984
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 4: knew that other guys were doing it. I told the

985
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 4: story before here. I knew one of my ex teammates.

986
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 4: He gave me his he gave me his apartment, and

987
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 4: my wife went and got groceries while I was on

988
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 4: the road. She got back and started putting them in

989
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 4: our new apartment in our fridge, and there was HGH

990
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 4: vials in the I mean, the the syringes were in

991
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 4: the refrigerator. Like, was I supposed to turn in my

992
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 4: ex teammate who wasn't on the team anymore because he

993
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 4: was taking HGH? Like I don't think that I'm not

994
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 4: supposed to do that, am.

995
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: I not your job?

996
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 3: No, listen, there's one you want to I tell you

997
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 3: what you want to lose faith in all your teammates

998
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 3: really fast talk about things that are happening in a clubhouse,

999
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 3: on the road whatever, like they nobody's business. It's not.

1000
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 3: It's not, it's not. And it also unless I actually

1001
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 3: see somebody injected themselves and I know exactly what's in

1002
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 3: the the needle and all that, I don't know what

1003
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 3: they're doing. They could be diabetic and they got to

1004
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 3: get some I don't.

1005
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: Know what they're playing.

1006
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. You can't. It's like, okay, it's like

1007
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 3: when I do a game for Fox, right, someone gets hurt.

1008
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 3: I don't speculate on what they hurt because I don't know,

1009
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 3: and I don't want to be wrong right, because I

1010
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 3: remember we did a game not long ago. I did

1011
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 3: a game and our stat guy had heard that so

1012
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 3: and so broke their arm, and the Telly by play

1013
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 3: guy goes, oh, they broke their arm, and I'm like, no,

1014
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 3: they didn't. Like let's you can't. You just can't speculate

1015
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 3: on that kind of stuff because you don't know.

1016
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: YEA, not with the medicals, medicals.

1017
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 3: And I don't know guys are doing. And you know what,

1018
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 3: it's none of my business what people are doing.

1019
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 2: No, no, And it's just not your job. I mean

1020
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 2: the league's job. That's the point of the league. And

1021
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 2: I mean this is a joint thing, the league and

1022
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 2: the player side. They come up with an agreement on

1023
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 2: who's going to police this, and then there are paid

1024
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,280
Speaker 2: professionals and the organization gets paid a lot of money,

1025
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 2: the CDT to.

1026
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: Regulate all of this stuff.

1027
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 2: All right, anyway, I want to get to two more

1028
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 2: things quick here too well moves. Tyler Kinley signs with

1029
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: the Braves one year. I was just getting rid of

1030
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,919
Speaker 2: all of the weekend news. Here on my checklist four

1031
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 2: point twenty five million And for Kinley, Brave fans were

1032
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 2: shocked that they let him go.

1033
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: They declined the option. It was for five point five million.

1034
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 2: And this actually plays to Kratz's whole collusion thing because

1035
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,240
Speaker 2: like the teams, they all have like the same figures

1036
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 2: on what the guy's worth. So they let him go

1037
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 2: and then they're like, we'll be able to get him

1038
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 2: for a little bit less, and they did. I'm not

1039
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 2: blaming the Braves I'm just saying that's how the whole

1040
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 2: system is. Everybody probably has him at the same number,

1041
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 2: and then he hits the free agent market and gets signed.

1042
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: So good for the Braves. He was lights out with Atlanta.

1043
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 2: He was traded to them at the deadline. He had

1044
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 2: an O seven to two ERA in twenty four appearances

1045
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 2: out of the bullpen with more breaking ball usage, slider curve.

1046
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: He was vac.

1047
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 3: He was gonna.

1048
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 4: I thought he was gonna be one of the big

1049
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 4: pieces at the trade deadline and the and the Braves

1050
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 4: got him because I went to the gate he was

1051
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 4: lights out for the Rockies and I was actually at

1052
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 4: the game. I think he gave up in Boston. I

1053
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 4: think he gave up like five or six runs. I

1054
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 4: remember telling my son, who was sitting next to me,

1055
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 4: I was like, this guy could be a huge, huge

1056
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 4: trade piece because he's having a great year. He looked

1057
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 4: over at me after he gave up a bunch of

1058
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 4: runs and I was he was like, ooh, sorry, Like

1059
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,959
Speaker 4: I didn't jink him, but he had.

1060
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 3: A really good year.

1061
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 4: I know you're gonna look at the numbers from Colorado

1062
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 4: and you'd be like, but so another great another great pickup.

1063
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 4: Don't don't forget Atlanta gets their job, gets a lot

1064
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 4: of their free agency stuff done early. They have put

1065
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 4: together a banger of a bullpen right now. And to

1066
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 4: go with that, starting rotation should be healthy this year

1067
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 4: and that position player corps.

1068
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 3: Don't don't sleep on the braves.

1069
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. They'll have I mean a little chip.

1070
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 2: It was a rough year for them, no playoffs, and uh,

1071
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 2: they brought in Robert Tuirez. Rice Eglesis is back. But

1072
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 2: it's a good looking bullpen right now. And then lastly,

1073
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 2: Jake McCarthy traded from the Diamondbacks to the Rockies. He'll

1074
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 2: get playing time.

1075
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 3: Mm hm.

1076
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 2: He's had some moments, yeah, and then he kind of

1077
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 2: fell out of favor. You know, he lost some pt

1078
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 2: this past year with the d Backs. But you know,

1079
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 2: it's kind of like a make it or break it situation.

1080
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 2: He had a really down season and then only ended

1081
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 2: up going let's see two hundred and twenty two played apartment.

1082
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,319
