1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: The less time at the beginning of some type of

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: arm injury, the less time at the end of it.

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: So hopefully they can calm this down. Nerves are nerves

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: are weird.

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: Hey, how are we doing?

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 3: First of all, we're very excited to be going to

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 3: Cincinnati for a few days later this week, So I

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 3: just want to remind everyone about that.

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: You're not going I.

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: Get invited, So don't did they invited?

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 4: I didn't get invited. I didn't get invited either.

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: I got invited.

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 4: You don't invite for me.

14
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: Anyway. Don't start mondays off like this. You guys are

15
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: still my friend, right, I mean you can't just say, hey,

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: you're still my friend. Like that's that's.

17
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 5: Why didn't we Why didn't Krats and I get invited?

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 5: That's that's more of the question, is Krats and I

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 5: didn't get invited?

20
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 4: Why? I want to know why we didn't get invited.

21
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: I know what, Todd in Cincinnati is way cooler than

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: either one of us and who else? Oh yeah, Danny

23
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: Graves is going to be there, So the pictures aren't

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: that cool?

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: Don't try to if we do one at the Brewers,

26
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: you're so invited.

27
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: He's cool in his own mind. Danny Graves is cool

28
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: in his own mind. It's not that like compared to

29
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: like catchers and stuff. Yeah, sure it's not.

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: It's close for a ja, I mean, if we're doing

31
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: in Chicago, Minnesota, et cetera. But maybe next time it

32
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: will not be most likely our only trip to Cincinnati.

33
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: So how about that.

34
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: Hey, when you got todd, you need to do it,

35
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: hm exactly.

36
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: So anyway, more details on that later on, but we

37
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: did break it last Friday. That will be there for

38
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: shows on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, so stay tuned for

39
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: more information on that front. We will be live on

40
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: the scene for opening Day. And there is a scramble

41
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: going on right now. We'll trade We'll get to an

42
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: aspect extensions which hadn't really been formulating for most of

43
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: spring training like they usually do, and now all of

44
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: a sudden, they're hitting hard fast, so let's charge him out,

45
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: charging out, AJ, Can you explain this one for me?

46
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: Cleveland traded Nolan Jones several years ago to the Rockies,

47
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: who had a breakout twenty twenty three down twenty twenty

48
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: four for a number of reasons, both on the field

49
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: and off, and then the Rockies trade him back to Cleveland.

50
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: Guardians need pop for Tyler Freeman, utility infielder heading to Colorado.

51
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: Now, they acquired.

52
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: Juan Brito for Nolan Jones a couple of years back,

53
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: so now they traded Jones, they get him back. They

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: still have Brito. And I'm not knocking Tyler Fremant. Nice

55
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: serviceable utility player, plays good defense. But the upside of

56
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: Nolan Jones is still high. Right, he's not thirty nine.

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: I think he's like twenty six.

58
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 5: There must there must be something we don't know about,

59
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 5: because I don't understand why they would make this deal.

60
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 5: The best part of this is they were on the

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 5: phone texting each other, Hey, I got traded. I got

62
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 5: traded too, and then boom, they got traded for each

63
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 5: other and didn't know. I think it's awesome. I think

64
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 5: it's hilarious. I don't know what they're doing. I mean,

65
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 5: we've had, you know, questionable questions about the Rockies and

66
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 5: what they're doing and where they're headed.

67
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't. I don't know. I really I don't.

68
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 4: I don't.

69
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 5: I just don't understand this one. Two years ago, he

70
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 5: hit twenty homers sixty Arbis at a nine thirty ops

71
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 5: last there was a down year, But I don't know.

72
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 5: I like his chances and he's gonna fit in great

73
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 5: in that Cleveland outfield because they don't have any pop

74
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 5: in that outfield.

75
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 4: They ain't all the pop they can't get.

76
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, without putting big Christmas out there, you're you're struggling

77
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: to really get much pop. And I think the the

78
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: upside is really big on Nolan Jones. Tyler Freeman is

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: a big league player. But I'm just I'm wondering did

80
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: they feel like they had too many outfielders the Rockies,

81
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: because it just run three dudes out there in that

82
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: outfield in that altitude, you're just gonna You're just get

83
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: worn out. You just can't play. You can't play the same.

84
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: You almost have to have a mandatory four man rotation

85
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: out there, no matter what I mean, Brent Doyle gold

86
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: glove out there. Maybe they didn't think Nolan Jones's defense

87
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: was that great, but to me that this is this

88
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: is a good for Cleveland because they were like, oh,

89
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: you know what, I think we're just gonna let this

90
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: guy go. He strikes out too much in the minor leagues,

91
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: Little little cup of coffee in the big leagues. Then

92
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: he went to the Rockies and they're like, ah, crap,

93
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: maybe we won them back. I think it's a great

94
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: pickup for Cleveland.

95
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: For Colorado, a j their outfield according to fangrats right

96
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: now is Doyle like Crawd's mentioned, Jordan Beck and Nick Martini.

97
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: I know Zachvine's been hitting well in spring training.

98
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 3: So I don't know what his situation is, but it's

99
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: not the outfields of your dreams.

100
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 5: I mean, what position is Chris I enlisted as the

101
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 5: first base dh.

102
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: Dh m.

103
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Okay?

104
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 5: I mean beans Bean's the guy who bat flips and

105
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 5: almost kills pitchers, So I mean he's he's got to

106
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 5: make the team right.

107
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: So much slag, bro, He's.

108
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: Got a little swags. I don't know.

109
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 5: I thought Nolan Jones was a great bounce back candidate,

110
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 5: especially being in course field, but now he's going to

111
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 5: go to Cleveland and get to play a lot and

112
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 5: voter knows how to It seems like put guys in

113
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 5: the right situations make guys feel comfortable.

114
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

115
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 5: I like this move for Cleveland. I don't get it

116
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 5: from the Rocky side, but we don't get a lot

117
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 5: from the Rocky side.

118
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: We don't, but Cleveland's side of it. They've been looking

119
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: for a platoon for Big Christmas. As much as I

120
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: joked about it with with Voter when we were in

121
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: the Bbwa's like, the dude needs more at bats and

122
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: if they're not willing to give that to him, have

123
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 1: a strict platoon only versus lefties. And then Nolan Jones

124
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: gets alrighty, so I think I think it's a big

125
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: for him. So AJ.

126
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: The Guardians have a little bit of rays of the

127
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: Midwest vibes to them with the way they've been able

128
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: to develop pitching and operate on a really really small

129
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: budget and have some success lately. I mean last year's

130
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: a good example that was a super low budget team

131
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: made it to the ALCS.

132
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: Pitching was fire.

133
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: They made some really smart transactions over the last several years.

134
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: To me, it was one of those.

135
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: Cases where the Rockies clearly have not or should not

136
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: be receiving benefit of the doubt. Get a phone call

137
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: from a team that already had Nolan Jones regrets trading

138
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: him away and seeing him thrive in twenty twenty three,

139
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: calls to get him back. What should they have done, most.

140
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 4: Likely wondered what they did wrong and maybe have them.

141
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 5: I mean, if I'm if I'm the if I'm the Rockies,

142
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 5: I'm wondering why the Guardians won him so badly.

143
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 4: You know.

144
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 5: It's like when you make trades with the Rays, you wonder, man,

145
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 5: do they know something we don't know? That's what you

146
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 5: always hear, Like when did raise call? Don't answer because

147
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 5: they know something you don't know. It seems like it

148
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 5: always works out for him. Not always, but it just

149
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 5: seems that way.

150
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 4: I don't know.

151
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 5: It's a weird trade for me, but we'll see how

152
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 5: it plays out. We'll see what the Rockies end out.

153
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 5: But it's definitely not a standard trade that you would

154
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 5: think would a team like the Rockies that needs all

155
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 5: the help they get would make, especially offensively.

156
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: And not not a back issue. Last year.

157
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 3: I know he was dealing with something off the field too, right,

158
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 3: a family issue.

159

Speaker 2: I don't have to get into it, but back.

160
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,360

161
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: this is it. This guy's going to be seventy five

162
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: ops plus cool, But at twenty six, I look one

Speaker 3: one hundred and six games.

166
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: By the way two years ago, I mean he couldn't

167
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: be happier. Get out of Colorado, not because the team's

168
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: bad or the organization, but because if you have back

194
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 3: extension season Tanner Biby, who's their guy right now? I mean,

195
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 3: I know Biaber's working his way back. But here's the

196
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: contract details from Zach Mizell. Five years club option for

197
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: twenty thirty. It guarantees him forty eight mil over those

198
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 3: five years. There's a signing bonus the club option. Excuse me,

199
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 3: I'm allergic to extensions, but for Bibby, I mean it

200
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 3: could end up being let's see if they take the

201
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 3: sixth year, six years sixty eight mil, so it's at

202
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: least five years forty eight mil. We always have to

203
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: do our reminder aja to everyone that this is not

204
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: the same as a free agent contract. Don't look some

205
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: free agent picture and say how does that person get this?

206
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: And Bibby only get that this guy who still has

207
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: plenty of years of team control left, but they take

208
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 3: up at least one free agent year, maybe two if

209
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 3: they pick up that club option, which would run things

210
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 3: through twenty thirty. I was looking back at how he

211
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: did last year and really has been good for a

212
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: couple of seasons. Last year he made thirty one starts,

213
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy three and two thirds innings. Nowadays,

214
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: that's a workhorse. Cleveland in his starts was twenty four

215
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: and nine. I know you hate wins and losses for pitchers,

216
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: but can I sell you on the team record?

217
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: I do.

218
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: On the team record twenty four and nine.

219
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: AKA, this guy pitches, then they go to the bullpen,

220
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: which was elite, and they win games.

221
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 5: He's their ace. Listen, you said it, he's their guy

222
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 5: right now. I don't care what you can put. You

223
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 5: can throw any number you wont him.

224
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 4: He's got.

225
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 5: This guy pitched the game one of every playoff series

226
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 5: that he was eligible to pitch. He was their guy,

227
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 5: and he deservedly so he kind of came out of nowhere.

228
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 5: I think it was last year, geez, because I remember

229
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 5: I had one of his first starts and I'm like,

230
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 5: who is this bibby bibb ribberdy bibberty guy right, And

231
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 5: they're like, no, it's baby, And then we got to

232
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 5: talk to him and he was awesome. And then we've

233
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 5: had him on the show and he's great. I think

234
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 5: he finished what second in the Rookie of the Year

235
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 5: last year ago.

236
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: You're mixing up two years ago. Two years ago he

237
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: came on the scene and you were like, what is

238
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: this guy?

239
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, two years ago.

240
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 5: Sorry, there's been a lot of there's been a lot

241
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 5: of games I've done in the last two years, so

242
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 5: kicking a lot of guardians, I'm serious. So yeah, but listen,

243
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 5: this guy's great. We had him on the show last year.

244
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 5: He was unbelievable interview and you know, he's got the glasses,

245
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 5: he's got the whole look. He's got he's got the

246
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 5: fastball that he throws at the top of the zone.

247
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 5: He's got to break him on a change hup off

248
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 5: of it. He ain't scared. He throws it over the plate.

249
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 5: He started in playoff games for him last year, and

250
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 5: this is a great extension for him and for the Guardians.

251
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 5: It keeps him under team control. They know what he's

252
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 5: gonna make for the next five years. And you know what,

253
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 5: it also makes him easier to trade if it comes

254
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 5: down to it, because other teams know what he's gonna make.

255
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 5: So congratulations, Tanner, you got your first one gradulations Guardian.

256
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: You just got another trade ship down.

257
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: The Essentially, the Guardians just paid twenty six million if

258
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: I do my math right, for the rest of his

259
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: time as a Guardian, because as a free agent, he

260
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: would have been gone anyway. They cost certainty his time

261
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: with the Guardians. The extra whatever twenty one million in

262
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: nineteen would be his first free agent year twenty one

263
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: club option. All that does is make him super valuable

264
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: to trade. Guardians are never gonna pay him twenty one

265
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: million dollars. There's a chance they don't even pay him

266
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: the ten million, depending on how the twenty twenty eight

267
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: season goes. And I know that's morbid. You know it's

268
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: looking terrible, like, oh, he's not going to be here.

269
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: They did a great job of locking it up because

270
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: with the signing bonus, it's twenty seven twenty six million

271
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: that you're gonna pay him for four years. Get your

272
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: number one for six a year. Yeah, yeah, pretty dee.

273
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: Because if he goes and he goes in top five,

274
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: top ten and cy young in the next two years,

275
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: it's just gonna skyrocket's already because he was number two

276
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: in Rookie of the Year voting and he already got

277
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: that whatever million, million and a half bonus pool because

278
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: he got that. But yeah, it was crazy, crazy good

279
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: for good for both of them because he's locked up,

280
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: he's young, and he's not really giving away. Pitchers are

281
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: getting six year deals when they're thirty years old. He'll

282
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: be a free agent at thirty one.

283
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you're a pictuer at that age, you take

284
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: some cash first, right, Oh.

285
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I don't know if it's even just pictures.

286
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: You got anybody, I think anybody. I mean, it wasn't

287
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: like he was a high pick. He was a fifth rounder.

288
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: There's there's there's just a lot. I'm not telling everybody

289
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: to take an extension. I'm just saying, get your money.

290
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: Don't don't necessarily think, oh, this is gonna last forever

291
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: because it might not. And then he's not. He's not

292
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: giving away you know, his age thirty to thirty five

293
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: season through this contract. It's a lot of money and

294
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: good for him.

295
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: I just think, AJ, it's how much easier case for

296
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 3: a pitcher for two reasons. One, pitchers get hurt more

297
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: than position players and those injuries could be career ending.

298
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: And two, pictures like kratz Is mentioning, can get paid

299
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: a little easier in their thirties. The trust factor, if

300
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: you do make it into your thirties and you look

301
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: really good, is higher from teams than if you're most players,

302
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: besides the superstar outliers, they look at you if you're

303
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: in your thirties as a position player and say, hey,

304
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: we're counting down the days until that batsuite slows down.

305
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 4: Yes they are. I mean they'd call you old at thirty.

306
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 5: Nowadays, that was like, well, a lot of times the

307
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 5: guys are coming into their prime because they were smarter

308
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 5: and they knew how to hit. Now it's like, oh,

309
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 5: you're thirty, you're so old, in which I disagree with,

310
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 5: especially for position players, but yeah, they're almost like pitchers. Now, Oh,

311
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 5: has he had a Tommy john Oh okay, well yeah,

312
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 5: so okay, Well then he's already he's thirty, so we

313
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 5: know we can get four or five more years at

314
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 5: him because he's had a Tommy Johnny might have a

315
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 5: second one, but he'll be fine and come bounce back

316
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 5: from that too. So again, I love this deal for Tanner,

317
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 5: I love it for the Guardians, and it's good for

318
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 5: these guys to get their first contract because it matters.

319
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 3: Yep, I'm with you, and much more to hit in

320
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: terms of signings extensions, all of that later on. Kyle

00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: The spring training injuries happened, a lot of them. This

346
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: one sucks.

347
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: Shane McClanahan looked like the Shane McClanahan from a couple

348
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: of years ago, but he left his last start. It

349
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: did not look good and the news is somewhat positive,

350
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: it seems because when you saw that outing and when

351
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: he was leaving, it looked like it could have been

352
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: some type of retear, but instead it's an inflamed nerve

353
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: and it's left triceps. According to Kevin Cash, of all

354
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: the potential outcomes, after he left yesterday's game in Paine,

355
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: Jeff Passing the ESPN said, this is perhaps the best

356
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: base scenario. You will start the season on the IL,

357
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 3: but shouldn't miss significant time. So instead, the opening day starter,

358
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 3: by the way, will be Ryan Pepio.

359
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: Dodger.

360
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 5: Great, okay, I mean it looked like when he looked

361
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 5: like he got shot. I mean seriously, like I mean

362
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 5: when when he walked off the mountain, You're like, man,

363
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 5: did he just did his arm just explode? Like you

364
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 5: know what was Dave Graveki god forbid? Or Tom with

365
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 5: Tom Browning? I think were the two his arms like

366
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 5: exploded that remember when they were pitching. And this is

367
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 5: great that it's not going to miss a significant time.

368
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 5: Now significant time is what a few weeks, a few months?

369
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 5: I mean, he's gonna have to miss a couple of

370
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 5: weeks at least to start the year, right, So I

371
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 5: don't know, it's good news, but it's bad news because

372
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 5: mclanann has been through so much and he means so

373
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 5: much to this team and if they have any chance

374
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 5: in the Al East, they're going to need a healthy

375
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 5: Shane mcclanann. So we'll see, but this is yeah, best case,

376
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 5: I guess scenario best of the worst cases.

377
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: Can we go blessing in these guys because they weren't

378
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: going to push him to one hundred and even sixty innings,

379
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: which is workhorse status, So maybe he I just don't

380
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: see arm injuries that guys don't miss a month, and

381
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: a month is not significant when you talk about like

382
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: what it looked like it could have been. At first,

383
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: I thought maybe it was an obleaque because he put

384
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: his arm straight down and then he like put his

385
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: hand up on his oblique. But he wasn't going to

386
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: get all these innings anyway, so maybe there's a little

387
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: leeway here where he can miss the first month because

388
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: even if he's out for two weeks, two weeks, you

389
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: have to then build back up for two weeks and

390
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: then you're able to pitch off the mound. So the

391
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: less time at the beginning of some type of arm injury,

392
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: the less time at the end of it. So hopefully

393
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: they can calm miss down. Nerves are nerves are weird.

394
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 3: My only thing is aja, where will the rays be

395
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 3: at that point? I mean, you know, let's say he

396
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: comes back in a month or two. Hopefully they're in

397
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 3: decent shape. I just think the Rays are going to

398
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: have to have a lot of things, or at least

399
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: a good amount of things go their way to be

400
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 3: able to survive the Ale East this year.

401
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: The division looks really damn.

402
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 5: Good, agreed. I mean, you know, Yankees Red Sox are

403
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 5: much improved. Baltimore. Now we need Gunner back and Grayson

404
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 5: to come back. But the Orioles are good, the Blue

405
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 5: Jays should be better, and the Rays are always the Rays,

406
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 5: so it's a tough division. They can't afford any many

407
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 5: more injuries. The Rays, we know, always survived it, but

408
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 5: there comes a point where you're everyone's depth runs out

409
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 5: and keep taking hit, taking hit, taking hit, And the

410
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 5: Rays didn't go out and do kind of what the

411
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 5: Rays have done, which is make trades for younger guys

412
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 5: that are controllable that they can mold into what they want.

413
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 5: They were kind of counting on McClanahan and Pepio and

414
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 5: some of these other guys to come back, Todge Bradley

415
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 5: to take the next step, So we'll see how this

416
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 5: affects him.

417
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 4: But this is a big blow for the Rays no

418
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 4: matter how long he's out.

419
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Because I mean the offense on paper, compared to

420
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 3: some other offenses in the division, looks maybe a step

421
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: behind it.

422
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: I think that's how it always looks. Yeah, and then

423
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: you look up at the end of April and they

424
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: have the most in Major League Baseball. I mean it

425
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: was just two years ago that they were first team

426
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 1: to ten wins, twenty thirty, forty fifty all the way

427
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: at the sixty.

428
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 2: Wins, and then they bombed in the playoffs.

429
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 5: So they also started thirty. They also started thirteen to

430
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 5: know that year. Yeap, I mean they had they had

431
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 5: teams that year, Oh right, right?

432
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 4: The game didn't they didn't play anybody. They didn't play anybody.

433
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry that I've I have my pillars. AJ.

434
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 3: I believe in strength of schedule no matter what time

435
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 3: of year, and it doesn't just go off of the record.

436
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they had a lighter schedule at the start.

437
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 3: Of the season, and that can help you because some

438
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 3: teams that start off the season with a West coast

439
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 3: trip taking on all l West teams, like I think

440
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 3: the Braids have that coming up this year. So if

441
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 3: the Braves start the season three and six and people

442
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 3: are like, what's wrong with the Braids, it's going to

443
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 3: be like, well, they played the Dodgers the Diamondbacks, Like,

444
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

445
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 4: I just started with the Padres.

446
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 3: I know that, right, Padres first, then they go to

447
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, and then so it's two, it's Padres and Dodgers.

448
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: But my point is, you know, if they start off

449
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 3: two and five, I'm gonna be like, I don't care,

450
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: They're fine because of who they played.

451
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: Just throwing that out though.

452
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: Anyway, let's get to the next one. On the Dodgers topic.

453
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 3: Did you see this with Mookie Betts. I mean, we

454
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: knew he was sick, and he's given us more information

455
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 3: on what's happening. I mean, he can't keep any food

456
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 3: down and it's been a while now, so he's lost

457
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 3: twenty plus pounds I think almost twenty five pounds. He's

458
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 3: at one hundred and fifty seven pounds now because of

459
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 3: the illness. So age, I don't know if you ever

460
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 3: dealt with some serious stomach issues or whatever at some

461
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 3: point in your career, but assuming they figure this out soon,

462
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 3: how much do you think it's going to affect him,

463
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 3: at least at the start of the season to be

464
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 3: down that much weight, like five pounds. I feel like

465
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: can be a lot when you're sub two hundred twenty

466
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 3: twenty five pounds.

467
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 5: That's crazy. I'm gonna say this because I know it'll

468
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 5: make crats mad. I've been really dealt with stomach problems,

469
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 5: so I can eat stuff, Scott unlike you. I can

470
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 5: eat all kinds of stuff. It doesn't bother me.

471
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 4: But this is weird.

472
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 5: This is crazy to me because Uki can't afford to

473
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 5: lose twenty five pounds. He's not big enough anywhere to

474
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 5: afford to lose twenty five pounds. And what's also crazy

475
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 5: is they haven't diagnosed him with anything.

476
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 4: What's wrong. LA's got the best hospitals in the world.

477
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 4: We can't figure out what's wrong with this dude.

478
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 5: I mean, I know when he was in Japan they

479
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 5: said he had a viral something, but what kind of

480
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 5: virus doesn't go away? I mean this is like, this

481
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 5: is just crazy to me, And we need Mooki back

482
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 5: on the field if you're done.

483
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 4: I know they won two and oh, but they need

484
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 4: Bookie back.

485
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: I've also never dealt with stomach problems like iron stomach,

486
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: so I'm on AJ's like. I talk about it all

487
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: the time because there's kids. There's kids on my baseball

488
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: team at school that like missed two practices a week

489
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: because they're sick. I'm like, I missed one game in

490
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: my career because I was sick one game.

491
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 3: And then this is my specialty, is that I didn't

492
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 3: miss much, but I did have stomach issues for a

493
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 3: long time.

494
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

495
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know enough about his specific medical case,

496
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 3: but there could be a billion reasons why there's a problem.

497
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: There could be a parasite, there could be some type

498
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 3: of serious virus, there could be some type of food allergy, whatever.

499
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: It could be a lot of different things.

500
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 3: But they have so much medical like it's so much

501
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: better things out it is, yes, but it's so much

502
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 3: like every every day people.

503
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: You're an everyday person who doesn't have a medical team

504
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: on call. It takes time. Okay, make an appointment, Okay,

505
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: see a specialist, do this test. You're talking a month

506
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: out at the earliest. They're on it right away, and

507
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: they still can't figure out what this is. Right.

508
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 3: That's the problem for them and for the Dodgers. You

509
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: know how they're going to approach this. They're going to

510
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 3: take their time. They are the organization that does that

511
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: because they kind of look around and say, we're sweet,

512
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 3: We're probably gonna make the playoffs anyway, let's finish injuries

513
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 3: suck here because we want to have time later. Gunner

514
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: Henderson officially going to be on the IL to start

515
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 3: the year.

516
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: That sucks.

517
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: AJ It sounds like it's going to be more day

518
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 3: to day than week to week according to Michael Lias,

519
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 3: who runs the front office. But you know you had

520
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: that side strain from February and he's just not ready.

521
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it sucks. By the way, crowds them as zero

522
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 5: days my career for sickness. Just want to throw that

523
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 5: out there, just because mister I missed one? How did

524
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 5: you miss one? I don't get it. Just go to zero? Uh,

525
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 5: I mean I played through some serious I played through

526
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 5: some serious car sickness too. Just FYI as I tell

527
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 5: my kids when I don't feel my best. But yeah,

528
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 5: this sucks for the Oreoles and for Gunner. It's been

529
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 5: a long time. The thing is, that's interesting. I know

530
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 5: we're gonna get to Kyle Gibson, but we haven't got

531
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 5: an update on Grayson in a while either. That's another

532
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 5: one that is he worse than what they're saying because

533
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 5: they were just like, oh, elbow inflammation. Then they go

534
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 5: out and sign Kyle Gibson, so is that a thing?

535
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 5: But the Orioles they need Gunner obviously, they need Grayson,

536
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 5: they need both these guys. They need both their g's

537
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 5: in there to make them go in a tough al East.

538
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 3: And one more, you, Darbys is going to miss the

539
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 3: start of the season. We hadn't gotten to that last week.

540
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: Elbow inflammation preame, so you can see there. I don't

541
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 3: know if there's been an update on the competition, but

542
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: Kyle Hart, Stephen kolek, Randy Bosquaz, none of them, are

543
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 3: you darbish?

544
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 5: No, no, they're not. It's interesting to see what happens

545
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 5: with the Padres, what they do. I'm out there on

546
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 5: Saturday and we saw Michael King and Dylan Ceaster one too.

547
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 5: But then who's gonna be that third day. That's that's

548
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 5: gonna be an interesting battle for the for the Padres.

549
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 3: I feel like it's weird, but people are sleeping on them.

550
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 3: I know there was some turnover. Yeah, I mean some

551
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 3: power rankings I've looked at have them way down the

552
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: line in the National League, and I'm like, hold up,

553
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 3: that's all.

554
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 5: I mean, they lost a lot though, I mean I

555
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 5: will say that they did. They It's not like they

556
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 5: brought back their whole team. They did lose some people significantly.

557
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: They're going to be the best team in the NL.

558
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: I mean that's Braves, Phillies, Dodgers, Diamondbacks. Maybe right, there's

559
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: some other teams that look better. I'm just saying they

560
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 3: should be well in the playoff. Makes that would be

561
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 3: surprised if they're not even two years ago obviously had

562
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 3: the sick team that underperformed and they missed it. They

563
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: were in the mix for most of the year. I

564
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 3: just I think they'll be good and quick update. Grayson

565
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 3: is throwing this week, so he resumed flat ground throwing.

566
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 4: That's great, that's great news.

567
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that still means he's like I mean, he's like

568
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 5: a month away from being being able to pitch off

569
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 5: a mound though, I mean, you know how slow they

570
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 5: take it.

571
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean I don't know if they said

572
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 3: the exact timetable, but probably May or June would be

573
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 3: my guess.

574
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

575
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.

576
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: Other spring training stuff, the Royals acquired Mark Kanna from

577
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 3: the Brewers for a player to be named later.

578
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: Yes, on base, that is the keyword.

579
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: Or two.

580
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 3: Mitch Hanneger was cut by the Mariners. He was owed

581
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 3: fifteen and a half million dollars this season. Remember that

582
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 3: was the Robbie Ray deal where they jumped that contract

583
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: and said it was going to work out. And then

584
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 3: Manny Margo was cut by the Brewers and he's headed

585
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 3: to the Detrait Tigers. I mean, the one that I

586
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 3: lock in on is Mitch Hannager because we'll see how

587
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 3: Robbie Bay looks this year. He's healthy, aj, he's damn good.

588
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: George Kirby's hurt to start the year. Hey, you do

589
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 3: what you gotta do. But that was a money dump

590
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: in my mind. We all kind of felt that way

591
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 3: at the time, and that's what it's looking like now.

592
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

593
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 5: But Mitch Haniger to me, was a great Mariner for

594
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 5: a few years. Like he was a guy they were

595
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 5: counting on, especially last year to come back and really

596
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 5: hit for him and he didn't do it. So I mean,

597
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 5: is this how Rowdy got to make the team? Rowdy

598
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 5: hurt in other guy's feelings so he can make the team.

599
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 5: I feel bad for Mitch.

600
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: You know, that's an outfielder but if you can have

601
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: when I mean, somebody's gonna pick up Mitch Haniger for

602
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: the league minimum I think of the leagu's minimums seven

603
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: twenty or seven thirty five, now seven something.

604
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can ask Andrew Miller next for the league.

605
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah he might know. Yeah I doubt it, but he's

606
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: doing more important stuff than that. But that's a great

607
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: right handed bat that you can add to your lineup.

608
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: Not you know, he might not be the All Star

609
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: that he was, but to me, you know, he's still

610
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: He's thirty four years old this year.

611
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 3: Can I just make the counter just because we're being

612
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 3: realistic here, I mean, the last couple of years he

613
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: hasn't hit.

614
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so the.

615
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 3: Last good season was twenty twenty two with Seattle. Right,

616
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 3: he was not good in San Francisco. Seattle brings him

617
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 3: over and even factoring in ballpark and all that stuff,

618
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 3: he was well below league average.

619
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: Okay, here's your two four because this is how teams

620
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: look at it. We have two players who are worth

621
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: seven hundred and twenty thousand dollars to our salary cap.

622
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: You're calling up a minor leaguer, or you're calling or

623
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: you're going to get.

624
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: Mitch Niger depends which team who's the minor leaguer.

625
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: No, that's not that's not the question.

626
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 5: Also, but here's the question for me. Is you mentioned

627
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 5: but I mean, how much do the Mariners owe him?

628
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 5: Fifteen and a half apparently, so they just have fifteen

629
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 5: and a half they can just give away. See what

630
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 5: I'm saying, Like whether they were talking about we don't

631
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 5: have any money, but there's fifteen and a half, it's

632
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 5: just going out the window for nothing.

633
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm sure, yeah, they offset it with the radio.

634
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 6: But also AJ, I mean they clearly said this this

635
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 6: bat doesn't look like it's going to be good enough. Yeah, Hey,

636
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 6: congratu Christian Campbell, who is the Baseball American number four

637
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 6: overall prospect in this sport.

638
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 3: He made the Boston Red Sox. That's awesome, Super excited

639
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 3: for him. And it actually plays to what Andrew was

640
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: just saying.

641
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: AJ.

642
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 3: The service time manipulation game might turn into Christian Campbell

643
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: obviously getting the opening day no and playing throughout the season,

644
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 3: but also could turn into an extra first ish round

645
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: pick for the Red Sox if he becomes a star

646
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 3: in season one.

647
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 5: Agreed, this was the question. Remember going into spring training

648
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 5: and I thought Devers would stick at third base. I

649
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 5: was wrong, right, but Christian Campbell put his way onto

650
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 5: the team. Bregman's at third Devers is going to d

651
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 5: age cost Us at first.

652
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 4: Listen.

653
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 5: If Campbell can hit the way they say he can

654
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 5: hit and do the things he can do, this is

655
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 5: a huge plus for the Red Sox and I love

656
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 5: I love when young guys get the opportunity, especially on

657
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 5: a team like Boston because they have veteran guys around

658
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 5: him to make it easier of a transmit transition for

659
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 5: him into.

660
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 4: The Boston market. I love this and I love what

661
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 4: the Red Sox are doing.

662
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 5: And I hope he has a great year because you

663
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 5: know why I want him to have a great year

664
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 5: because of what you just said, Scott. It incentivizes teams

665
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 5: to have these guys come up at a younger age

666
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 5: and get her opportunity and give them an opportunity because

667
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 5: guess what it helps him in the long run.

668
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: Red Sox. Let him play that. You had a second

669
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: basement come up a few years ago that struggled the

670
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: first month and end up being a Red Sox Hall

671
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: of Famer in Dustin Pedroia So I'm not saying they're

672
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: the same player. Just let him play. You're in a

673
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: big pressure cooker. It might be a little tough. You know,

674
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: he might have a blip in the road learning the

675
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: big leagues. But you know who said this, this would

676
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: be your bet MGM Lock of the Year guy said,

677
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: Pap said, Christian Campbell's making this team out of camp

678
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: I did.

679
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: We don't care, I said.

680
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 5: You know what I love though, Just what else he is?

681
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 5: What did I keep saying the Red Sox needed? What

682
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 5: do I keep saying? They need a right handed power?

683
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 5: Guess what they got, Yes, Bragmant and Christian Campbell. They

684
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 5: got two right handed hitters, right, That's what they needed.

685
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 5: They found them. And this is a guy. I'm telling

686
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 5: you right now, this is a guy everyone's talking about

687
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 5: Meyer and what Roman Anthony is the other guy?

688
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 4: Right that?

689
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 5: They were left handed guys. When I talked to Alex

690
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 5: Kora last year, he said, watch out for Christian Campbell

691
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 5: because he can play the infield and he's right handed

692
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 5: and we need right handed.

693
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: Bats out great athlete, you can play the outfield too

694
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: if need be. And he soared through the miners last year.

695
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 3: They did a lot of mechanical work with him to

696
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: get much better. And it was a steal of a move.

697
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 3: I think I'm sure it was Heyan Bloom during his time, right, Yep,

698
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 3: it was so. I was a fourth or fifth round pick.

699
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 3: That's not fourth round out of Georgia Tech. In twenty

700
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 3: twenty three.

701
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: Nailed it.

702
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 3: Hot coinner time. Alejandro Kirk got an extension. Extension season

703
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 3: will tend him out. Let's start with Kirk, because we

704
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: have two catchers on this show. Five years, fifty eight

705
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: million dollars. The deal includes a six million dollars signing

706
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 3: bonus for Kirk and this starts next year. This year,

707
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 3: the money is already locked in for him, so they

708
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: didn't rip it up and start again. He's making four

709
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 3: point six mil this year, and then just sign this

710
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: up over the weekend. It'll take him through the twenty

711
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 3: thirty season. There's no options involved on either side. He

712
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: would have been a free agent soon after twenty twenty six.

713
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: Now he's not a free agent until after his age

714
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 3: thirty one season. And AJ he's the guy Danny Jansen

715
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 3: he gone.

716
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: Obviously.

717
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 3: They traded Gabrielle moreno years back, and he's been pretty

718
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 3: much a star for Arizona. Last year, Kirk had a

719
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 3: ninety four OPS plus and one hundred and three games.

720
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 3: Stat Casts has him as one of the better framing catchers,

721
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 3: so they like his defense.

722
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 2: What do we think about this one?

723
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 5: Oh, good for Aleejandro perst of all, let me say that.

724
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 5: Good for him. You know, it's weird when you look

725
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 5: at these numbers. It's hard to quantify. Krafts could maybe

726
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 5: speak on this a little bit better than I can,

727
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 5: but I mean, framing is getting paid because his offense

728
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 5: last two years hasn't been that great. You know, they said,

729
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 5: now he's finally going to get to play every day.

730
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 5: What the heck was he doing in twenty twenty two

731
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 5: when he had five hundred and forty one at bats, right,

732
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 5: I mean one hundred and twenty three and one hundred

733
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 5: and three games. I mean that's playing pretty much every day.

734
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 5: So I don't I don't understand that. But good for him,

735
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 5: he got paid. I don't know, I mean good for

736
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 5: good for Kirk. And to me, this just seems like,

737
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 5: I don't know they needed to do this. I think

738
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 5: they could have waited another year if.

739
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 4: You're the Blue Jays.

740
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 5: But Ross Atkins and Shapiro have been on the hot

741
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 5: seat for not signing Blad. So they're like, hey, we

742
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 5: made we signed an extension. Oh wait, it wasn't Glad.

743
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 5: It was for ale Kirk. But congratulations, Alejandro. Get every

744
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 5: dollar you can. Grab the headlines, grab the headlines.

745
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: Blue Jays extend, Blue Jays extend blue Jay prospect. Oh wait, no,

746
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: not Glad.

747
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 2: But not a prospect.

748
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: I mean that was with the with the organization homegrown

749
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: talent extension for Blue Jays. Wamp womp, not blatty anyway. Yes,

750
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 1: the framing, the framing metrics are definitely there. It's something

751
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: that he was not very good at early, even in

752
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: his All Star season. His All Star season was because

753
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: he was raking. He has not raked the last two years,

754
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 1: but he's elevated his war, he's elevated his value based

755
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 1: on that framing. Unfortunately, you can go and get elite

756
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: framing for much less than this. So for Alejandro, this

757
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: is tremendous. My guy's locking in. You don't know what's

758
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: gonna happen, especially at a catching position. Shortstops they age

759
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 1: fine that you know. Shortstops don't steal a ton of bases.

760
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: Age fine. Catchers, you got it. You can't just you

761
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: can just fall into playing games. To me, this the

762
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: catching position. Unfortunately for catchers, teams have been able to

763
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: find value there in the war of wins above replacement area.

764
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: Look at Kyle Higashioka getting is getting a contract to

765
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: pair with jonah Heim. Jonah Heim is one of the

766
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: best receiving catchers in the game. They have a lot

767
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: of value there, a lot of value to the team,

768
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: but also at a low, low price. Maybe the Jays

769
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: may be overpaid a little bit here.

770
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 4: Okay, let me ask you this, what happens when ABS

771
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 4: comes in?

772
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 5: What happens when ABS comes in next year and you

773
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 5: don't have that framing, you know, frame like cal Rawley

774
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 5: is what nine for nine? I think every time cal

775
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 5: Rawly goes like this, you just know it's gonna be

776
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 5: the opposite of what the umpire says. So what happens

777
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 5: next year when ABS comes in? Because you say they're

778
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 5: not doing it, they're doing it. We should have asked

779
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 5: Andrew Miller because guess what, next year we're gonna have ABS? Right,

780
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 5: So does this take away the value of what Kirk

781
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 5: has brought to the table that was gonna be My

782
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 5: other point was that this might not be now. The

783
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 5: value not going to be completely gone. We're not going

784
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 5: robo umpires. The value is still going to be there

785
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 5: because there's you know, two you know, arguments, three challenges,

786
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 5: whatever it's going to be. You do have to make

787
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 5: sure the umpires still getting it wrong and the team

788
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 5: has to challenge it.

789
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: So there's still value there. But that value is going

790
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: to go way down, and the value in blocking is

791
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: going to be there.

792
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 3: Sure, okay, but you're getting the prime years of a

793
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 3: guy who even last year, for example, like sure, not

794
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 3: a great offensive season, but it was close to the

795
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 3: league average on OPS plus and for a catcher that's

796
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 3: above average because most catchers, but you know, they're probably

797
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 3: I think the average is probably in the eighties or

798
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 3: something like that for OPS plus for catchers.

799
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: But again, if the ABS comes in. When the ABS

800
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: comes in, yeah you're going to have different types of

801
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: players coming behind a dish a.

802
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,280
Speaker 2: Little more offense.

803
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 3: But my only point here on Kirk is we did

804
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 3: see it a couple of years ago, AJ, and at

805
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 3: least you know, some of the scattering reports late are

806
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 3: front office darling because he hits the ball hard, he

807
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 3: does make contact too many ground balls. That's like the

808
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 3: simplistic right up that you'll see from some fans, Right,

809
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 3: where's the slug? Well, he's got to get more left

810
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 3: on it? And you see this a lot with players.

811
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 3: Sometimes it does actually blossom and in spring training apparently

812
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 3: it's been better this year, and sometimes it doesn't, and

813
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 3: the dude never gets off the ground ball ways. But

814
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 3: I mean, wasn't Christian Yelich obviously a very different player,

815
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 3: But wasn't Wasn't he a guy who had ground ball city?

816
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: But it was a contact He hit the ball hard,

817
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden he went from really

818
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 3: good to superstar.

819
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: He started driving the ball in the air.

820
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, poster boy for that, But I'm just saying, could

821
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 3: that happen with someone like this who has completely figured

822
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 3: out his offensive profile? Not yellish, but again I get that,

823
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 3: But I'm saying, is there more in the tank here

824
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 3: where this could be more of a four to fifty slugger?

825
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 5: They hope, so believe, always believe it. The Blue Jays hope,

826
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 5: So that's why they signed him with this deal. He's

827
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 5: only twenty six, is young?

828
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: Yep?

829
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 5: He came up super young too, don't forget. And he

830
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 5: kind of came out of nowhere if you remember, right,

831
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 5: So I don't know. Listen, I'm happy for the guy.

832
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 5: I'm always happy for players when they get money. We

833
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 5: just done Andrew miller On who works for the We're listening.

834
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 5: We're pro union, we're pro players, so I'm all for play.

835
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: But I respect you guys for putting that out there.

836
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 3: They're like, hey, I don't know, we'll see. It's not

837
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: like it necessarily looks like a bargain.

838
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: That's fine.

839
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 3: At MGM Futures, you know, you can put a little

840
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 3: cash on comebat player of the Year. So I'll read

841
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 3: it out real quick for the podcast crowd listening later.

842
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: Ronald Kuenan Junior is at plus two point fifty. Spencer

843
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 3: Strider plus four hundred. This is the NL obviously, Sandy

844
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 3: al Contra plus four fifty, Matt McClain plus five fifty,

845
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 3: Brandon Woodrick plus six fifty.

846
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: What do we like? I love Matt McClean there. I

847
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: can't get out Contra why because he might not be

848
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: in the National League at the end of the year.

849
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: And players, this is a player voted thing. Players, you

850
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta go with the biggest name. So it's

851
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: either a Kunya or Stryder.

852
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 3: Contra could win it aj because he's gonna give you

853
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 3: a full season. So if he's a top five young guy,

854
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 3: doesn't he win it.

855
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was gonna say, I was gonna say, Strider

856
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 5: to me is the one that stands out at Cunya.

857
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 5: To me, they're gonna play him slow. He's not going

858
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 5: to steal as many bases. He's already come out and

859
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 5: said that. So I feel like I feel like Stryder,

860
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 5: once he comes back, is going to be full go,

861
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 5: and that dude is filthy when he's full go. So

862
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 5: I feel like Strider is the easy pick here. Our

863
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 5: Contra is probably the best odds or McClain because McClain

864
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 5: is going to get to play every day on a

865
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 5: team that just you know, could surprise some people in

866
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 5: the red. So I just feel like Strider is your

867
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 5: best bet. But there's some other options. This is a

868
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 5: tough one because there's a lot of options that are

869
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 5: tough good on this on this which sucks because that

870
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 5: means there was a lot of.

871
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 1: People that missed significant time. Stars stars at miss significant time.

872
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, to me, it's going to be a

873
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: coon yartrider.

874
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 3: I like all contract value wise plus four fifty. He's

875
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 3: going to pitch the whole season. He's in Miami, and yeah,

876
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 3: he might be pitching for a new team, but there's

877
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 3: a fifty to fifty chance that he's in the National

878
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 3: League and then he could win that N'LL Comeback Player

879
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 3: of the Year.

880
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember, dudes, we're telling it. We're like

881
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: when we were filling out Comeback Player of the Year

882
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: is part of you know, the awards that you write out.

883
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: Somebody goes, well, who'd you pick. I was like, I

884
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: forget who it was that year, but they were like, oh,

885
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: I picked Matt Kemp. I'm like, Matt Kemp had the

886
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: exact same year he had the year before, Like, why

887
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: did you pick Matt Camp? He goes, well, that's what

888
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: those guys were putting down. And I'm like, I think

889
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 1: they're just part of the vote.

890
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 3: I don't know for a fact, but I think there's

891
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 3: a few people maybe still yeah, I think the leagu's

892

00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 3: to come out on a Friday night.

905
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 2: That is when you put out the stuff that you.

906
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 3: Don't want to get covered a ton, But we're going

907
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 3: to still give it a little bit of time right now.

908
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 3: Julio Arias was arrested what was it, on September sixth,

909
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, placed on an admin lead.

910
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 2: This is not the first domestic violence incident for him either.

911
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 3: So the lead came out and announced that he has

912
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 3: been suspended through the twenty twenty five All Star break

913
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 3: for violating the Joint Domestic Violence Policy. Okay, so he

914
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 3: is technically able to sign with the team after the

915
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 3: All Star break. We're not going to talk much about

916
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 3: the case. Obviously, this is this is a problem, This

917
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 3: is awful. We don't condone any of this crap. My

918
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 3: question for you guys is do you think he will

919
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 3: ever play Major League Baseball again?

920
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 2: Will a team signed this guy? I mean, I wouldn't.

921
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's gonna sign it.

922
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 5: And this is not a knock on him personally. I

923
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 5: don't know enough about the case, but I just don't

924
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 5: think they will. We've seen, we've seen the President already

925
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 5: said with with you know another guy that everyone begs

926
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 5: why is so?

927
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 4: And sown up?

928
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 5: And the guy's over pitching in Japan right now, Everyone's like,

929
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 5: why is so and so on up pitch. I'm not

930
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 5: gonna say his name because people are going to go crazy.

931
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 5: So yeah, I just think the President is there. I

932
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 5: don't think you know, this is this is a tough

933
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 5: it sucks. I don't know all the all the logistics

934
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 5: of the case, but I just I'm gonna say.

935
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: No, said two issues.

936
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 3: I just don't think the team's going to be like, yeah,

937
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 3: we're going to give another chance here.

938
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm all about forgiveness, but you got to show a

939
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: willingness to change something that is different. This is this

940
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 1: is serious stuff. Not even knowing anything about the cases,

941
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: it's serious stuff and it's not just willy nilly. The

942
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: league's like, oh, well, we'll just hand it out here

943
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: and not there like that. They set a precedent and

944
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: that they continue to set that precedent and they continue

945
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: to keep it. Yes, I know it doesn't look like

946
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: a long enough suspension, if you know, but I just

947
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: don't see. I don't see how he gets back in

948
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 1: without some serious forgiveness.

949
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 3: People can say whatever they want, Oh, well, you can't

950
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 3: prevent him from playing. Sure, but these are teams that

951
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 3: are you mentioned last week. It's a monopoly teams that

952
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: are run by essentially one person per team, right, there's

953
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 3: a control that runs each team.

954
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: They don't have to sign anybody that there could be one.

955
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 3: There could be one player that just genuinely pisces them

956
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 3: off in life, or one player that was mean to

957
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 3: an owner and they go, that's my freaking toy, I.

958
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: Ain't signing him. So it makes sense.

959
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 3: So if you're going to complain about anything with him

960
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 3: or Bow or anybody else it you then ask each

961
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 3: individual owner, tell them to speak to the public and

962
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 3: ask them why they won't sign them, because it's their choice.

963
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 3: And let me tell you, if it was me, I'm

964
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 3: the same way. I'm not say case by case some

965
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 3: guys go through crap and then you go okay. I

966
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 3: feel like, like you mentioned, this guy has learned lesson

967
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 3: from that particular situation, in this domestic violent situation, multiple offender.

968
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: Sorry, I don't even need to read that much into it.

969
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 2: I'm out not for me, and guess what, most of

970
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: the league's doing the same thing.

971
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 3: Not worth the crap that I will have to deal with,

972
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 3: obviously publicly, and I don't like it.

973
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: I don't like.

974
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 3: What's been done. It's happened multiple times, So there you go.

975
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 3: Other guys, they'll.

976
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 5: Wait, hold on, let me ask this. Let me ask

977
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 5: this though, certain people that have done things and they're

978
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 5: still playing. That's why there's a lot of people in

979
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 5: the chat and in general that are like, why does

980
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 5: this guy get still playing? This guy still play, but

981
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 5: these other guys not get to play. I mean, that's again,

982
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 5: we don't know all the specifics of the case, so

983
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 5: I can't answer that. So when people say why is

984
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 5: this guy playing this guy?

985
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 4: I don't know. It's not my team. I don't get

986
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 4: to choose it.

987
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 5: I'm just going off president when I say I don't

988
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 5: think you'll ever play again, I'm just going off past president.

989
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 4: It's been set.

990
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 5: Guys that have been suspended for this type of stuff

991
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:00,479
Speaker 5: haven't usually come back.

992
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm naive, but I trust that the investigations

993
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: that they do are thorough what exactly went in the situation.

994
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: And you know what, people can call me naive for

995
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: believing in that, but there is the degrees to what happens,

996
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: and they have somebody has to make the decision. It's

997
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: not just a blanket. It's not a blanket statement, but

998
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: they have major League Baseball is drawing a line. And

999
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, there's been other times where, you know, non

1000
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: domestic violence stuff, guys have been blackballed from being signed

1001
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: back by any team. Looking at the numbers from the

1002
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: year before, you're like, how is this guy not I

1003
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: get it, he's you know, he can be a problem

1004
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: or whatever, but how does this guy not have a team?

1005
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: This is major League Baseball. This is not everybody gets

1006
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: the same chances. Whether that's fair or unfair to me,

1007
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: I think major League Baseball did the right thing here.

1008
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 2: But also ad I just think they're a threshold.

1009
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: Right.

1010
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 2: Sometimes there's a player who's super.

1011
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 3: Annoying and bad in the clubhouse or gets in trouble

1012
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 3: all the time, right, And then.

1013
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: They're like, because I mean, I don't know, I'm not

1014
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 2: going to start calling out names.

1015
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 3: But my point, I know there are players, you know

1016
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, right like, and even there are sometimes

1017
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 3: players who get in trouble and then people are like,

1018
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 3: I don't understand why he's not playing again, and I'm like, well,

1019
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 3: maybe there's more to it, not even just the case.

1020
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 3: Maybe teammates were sick of this person, maybe this person

1021
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 3: was a problem in the clubhouse, and they're.

1022
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 2: Like, okay, we're going to add this up.

1023
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 3: He's just okay, he's gotten in trouble and he's a

1024
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 3: problem anyway. So they do the math and they say

1025
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 3: I'm done, so that that's all there is to it.

1026
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 3: Not every single player in the league is perfect and

1027
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 3: has never had gotten in any trouble. And also I

1028
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 3: don't necessarily agree with every player that's been on a

1029
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 3: team or not so anyway, it's an interesting story, but

1030
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 3: it's also one where after the All Star break, if

1031
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 3: a team wants to sign him, that's their right, but

1032
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 3: it wouldn't be mine my decision, and I just from

1033
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 3: knowing they don't think anyone's going to sign him, just

1034
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 3: my thought, that's the prediction.

1035
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 5: Look at the guy we just we talked about the

1036
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 5: Blue Jays Azuna, right when he went to Houston, he

1037
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 5: had his problems, right, all the problems that caused within

1038
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 5: the clubhouse, in the front office, I mean, right, and

1039
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 5: in the media. I think teams look at past precedents

1040
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 5: and it sucks for the players. But you know, listen,

1041
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 5: none of us are saints. All right, Let's just let's

1042
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 5: establish that. So none of us are perfect. So we

1043
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 5: all make mistakes and we are about forgiveness. But at

1044
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 5: the same time, you know, teams make these decisions and

1045
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 5: we can't control them at all.

1046
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 2: Yep. Also they're different levels of mistakes.

1047
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 3: All right, we're back an extension that we'll do right

1048
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 3: now for three minutes, since we didn't have time earlier.

1049
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 3: Justin Martinez, who has an electric arm five years, eighteen

1050
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 3: million dollars, two options for seven million and twenty thirty

1051
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 3: nine million and twenty thirty one, so it could be

1052
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 3: as much as seven years, thirty nine million dollars. I mean,

1053
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 3: he's early in his nervous time, so he gets the

1054
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 3: guaranteed money as a reliever. And aj I haven't read

1055
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 3: a ton into this, But my guess is that this

1056
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 3: makes both sides happy because of the way that saves

1057
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 3: are a mess with arbitration. Right now, look at the

1058
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 3: Kyle Finningen case, right, It's like, yes, in arbitration, it

1059
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 3: matters more about your saves, where in real life it

1060
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 3: matters more about your stuff.

1061
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 2: And if you're a high.

1062
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 3: Leverage guy, So now the Diamondbacks can use him as

1063
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 3: their closer for years and it's cost controlled and on

1064
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 3: his side, he gets the guaranteed money.

1065
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 2: I think this is awesome.

1066
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 5: And there's nothing more volatile than relievers. Look at I mean, yes,

1067
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 5: you have your ones that are really good. Those are

1068
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 5: the ones that get super paid. But if you look

1069
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 5: at numbers of relievers, a lot of guys go like

1070
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 5: this good year bad, You're a good year bad.

1071
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 4: You're even Andrew Miller.

1072
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 5: We had on had really good years and had some

1073
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:46,919
Speaker 5: mediocre years, but then he had really good years.

1074
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 4: Right.

1075
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 5: So nothing is more volatile probably than a reliever. And

1076
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 5: it's freedom for him. It's freedom for the Diamondbacks they

1077
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 5: know what they're gonna pay this guy. And it's freedom

1078
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 5: for Justin Martinez because he goes out there and he

1079
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 5: get pitch and he's like, yes, I have this much

1080
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 5: money in the bank and I can just go out

1081
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 5: and throw a billion.

1082
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: No worse, no worse. You don't know if a guy

1083
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: is gonna become a a Brian Shaw who can pitch

1084
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: seventy two to seventy eight appearances a year for six

1085
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 1: straight years and make it to free agency. Yeah, those

1086
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: guys get paid big salaries. That's very few and far between.

1087
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: You don't know if you're gonna stay healthy. Good for him,

1088
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: he's young. That's a lot of money, and now he

1089
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: can go out and be a closer that if at

1090
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: the end of this contract, yes, he's gonna left a

1091
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: lot of money on the table. If he's that closer,

1092
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: thirty five saves a year, he's gonna get paid exactly.

1093
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a win.

1094
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 3: And for the Diamondbacks, if you're watching them, you're gonna

1095
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 3: see a lot of this.

1096
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 2: Guy, a lot.

1097
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: Something they didn't even really happen when they went to

1098
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: the World Series. They didn't really have a dude like this.

1099
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: Now I get it. He struggled throwing makes at the

1100
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: end of the year. Maybe I heard some stuff that

1101
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 1: he was getting tired towards the end of the year.

1102
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: Last year realistic, realistic. Now he's got another, he's a

1103
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 1: full year under his belt. He can be that guy

1104
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 1: for them, along with Ginkle, along with you know, some

1105
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: of their rotation pieces who had to slide into the bullpen.

1106
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we'll get into that maybe tomorrow.

1107
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 5: I mean, when calarburn Burns is your fifth starter, you're

1108
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 5: in a good spot that trip.

1109
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 7: We'll cover that tomorrow.

1110
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 3: Let's lap and actually spend a few minutes on one

1111
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 3: more signing that we didn't get to that also went

1112
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 3: down on Friday. Kyle Gibson does sign, So we'd been

1113
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 3: talking about guys like Gibson. Of course Lance Lynn is

1114
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 3: still a free agent. But Gibson signs for one year

1115
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 3: five point two to five million dollars with the Baltimore Orioles.

1116
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 3: There's some performance bonuses in there as well, about one

1117
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 3: and a half million bucks. And AJ Grayson Rodriguez is

1118
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 3: hurt right now. Obviously Kyle Bradish went down with the

1119
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 3: big injury last year. They lost Corbyn Burns. Can we

1120
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 3: sometimes have signings where the guy isn't necessarily going to

1121
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 3: start a playoff game, but he can get you to

1122
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 3: that point by eating up one fifty to two hundred

1123
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 3: innings for this team.

1124
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, these guys are valuable, and I think they've

1125
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 5: lost their value. And I think that's one of the

1126
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 5: big issues that a lot of the players have talked about,

1127
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 5: is the players that are like this, that are really

1128
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 5: valuable and can do special things for you, aren't getting

1129
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 5: an opportunity because teams aren't giving him an opportunity. And

1130
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 5: I think these guys are valuable. Kyle gives him, has

1131
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 5: pitched in Baltimore. They loved him in Baltimore. Remember he

1132
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,760
Speaker 5: helped come up with the whole sprinkler and the bird

1133
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 5: bath thing. So I mean, I love the signing. You know,

1134
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 5: let's let's hope he's ready and he can go out

1135
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 5: there and hit those incentives.

1136
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 1: I love when I look at the guy's Baseball reference

1137
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 1: page and it goes thirty one, thirty two, twenty nine,

1138
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: thirty two, twenty nine, thirty thirty one, thirty three thirty starts.

1139
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: That way, you don't have to do that to a

1140
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: minor league guy. That way, you don't. You can figure

1141
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 1: out how to get those innings. You have to complete games.

1142
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: You save your bullpen. Guys that make their starts every

1143
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: single day super value. Here and Gibbee and I've heard

1144
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: he wonted five million, so good for him. He got

1145
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:27,240
Speaker 1: more five.

1146
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 3: Yep, no il since from twenty twenty two to twenty

1147
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 3: twenty four, over seven hundred innings in the lap from

1148
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 3: twenty one through last season ranks eighth, so top ten.

1149
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 2: He eats innings and he keeps you in games.

1150
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 3: And the Oriols have should have a good lineup and

1151
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 3: good defense behind him too. Real quick, let's shout out

1152
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 3: Trevor mayshow maybe he'll talk about it later, but may

Speaker 2: It's part of the FT network.

1159
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 3: All right, we're back up tef fam final couple minutes here.

1160
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 3: We just want to send out thoughts, prayers and really

1161
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 3: just talk about an awful, devastating situation. News from the weekend.

1162
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 3: We learned that the Gardeners lost their youngest son, Miller,

1163
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 3: at the age of fourteen.

1164
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 2: Crazy.

1165
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 3: Not a ton of questions or not a ton of answers.

1166
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,399
Speaker 3: You know, the Gardner family came out with a statement too,

1167
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 3: and here's the one from the Yankees, but he said,

1168
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 3: the Gardener's Brett and Jessica. We have so many questions,

1169
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:37,320
Speaker 3: so few answers.

1170
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 2: We know.

1171
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,760
Speaker 3: He passed away peacefully asleep on the morning of Friday,

1172
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 3: March twenty first.

1173
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 2: They were away on I think a vacation, and I

1174
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 2: think multiple people got sick. And that's about all we know.

1175
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 3: But also just besides that, just awful, awful to lose

1176
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 3: someone with so much life left to live. Brett Gardner's

1177
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 3: a special part of the baseball family for a long time,

1178
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,760
Speaker 3: and just want to let them know that we're thinking

1179
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 3: about them.

1180
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: It's brutal. It's brutal when this happened to anybody, and

1181
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: when you spend a season with people, when your families

1182
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: spend a season together, the different ups and downs the

1183
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 1: season for everybody, you know, visiting from North Carolina, visiting

1184
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: from Virginia, as our wives would going into the playoffs,

1185
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: you're kind of like in a bubble, not like the

1186
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: COVID bubble which we were in, but you're in a

1187
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 1: bubble and you're in a group, like a safe group,

1188
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: so your kids they become close. Like he's two years

1189
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: younger than my youngest son, two years older than my daughter.

1190
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: Like it's stuff like that that you're like, you just

1191
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: you don't know it's going to happen. You don't think

1192
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. And it was just like it

1193
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: it rocked me. It was tough, awful. Nobody should have

1194
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: to go through that.

1195
00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 3: No, so just wanted to let and our family know

1196
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 3: we're thinking about you. And uh, it's it's tough news

1197
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 3: to even cover or talk about, but and you know,

1198
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 3: privacy wise, they released this, so felt comfortable talking about

1199
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 3: it here, just talking about what they sent out to

1200
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 3: the world. But rest in peace to to young Miller.

1201
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 3: Have gone way too soon. Crappy way to end a show,

1202
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 3: but awful, awful news for the family. All Right, we

1203
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 3: will say everyone tomorrow on FT.

1204
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 2: Love you,
