1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Chase that Lee.

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: This is a Philly Show.

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Ruben Tomorrow, Junior, Jim Salisbury, Todds, The Lucky, It's the

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Philly Show. It is Friday, February thirteenth, twenty twenty six.

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: But we are doing a little bit of an emergency

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: pod on Thursday night posting on Friday morning because the

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Phillies have finally officially parted ways with Nick Castianos. They

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: announced on Thursday afternoon that he has been released. A

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: relationship that was unsalvagable finally comes to an end. What's

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 1: your guys immediate reaction to this?

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: We all knew it was coming. We knew it was

12
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: coming as soon as the season ended. We knew it

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: was coming. But now it's finally happened.

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, A good word in your part. Unsalvagable. That to

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: the point where they had to eat twenty million dollars

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 3: and move on. There were no takers in the trade market.

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 3: Not surprised there, because you know, when a team is

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: so public about wanting to move a guy, you say,

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: I'll just wait till they release him. But when a

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: team is so public about moving a guy, you say, well,

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: do I really want this guy? I still think he

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: could swing the bat possibly help someone. But this was

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: an unavoidable circumstance that had been building all of twenty

24
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: twenty five and obviously reached ahead in Miami when Rob Thompson,

25
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 3: one of the most easy going managers in the history

26
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: of baseball, was forced to react and bench a guy,

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: thus ending his long consecutive game streak, just because the

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: actions in the dugout that night were so egregious that

29
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: he had to move in that direction, and things remained

30
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: tense for the rest of the season. Dave Dombroski right

31
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: after the season indicated that a change of scenery was coming.

32
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: He was unable to facilitate that via trade. So the

33
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: end of a end of an era.

34
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 4: Again not surprised.

35
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 5: I mean, it was very obvious that Nick Castianos and

36
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 5: the Phillies front office and the staff were no longer

37
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 5: a fit.

38
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: And I guess there was enough tension.

39
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 5: And enough quote unquote animosity, difference of opinion, almost a

40
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 5: little bit like a divorce where you you just don't

41
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 5: see eye to eye and you don't agree with some

42
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 5: of the things that were going on, and then relationship

43
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 5: basically deteriorated to the point where they had to release him. Unfortunately,

44
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 5: he wasn't as productive that as they would have liked

45
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 5: as a player over the last couple of years. Otherwise

46
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 5: he probably would have had some value on the market.

47
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 5: Not a whole lot of right handed bats out there

48
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 5: to be had, but he hasn't been a super productive

49
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 5: player as of late. Uh. He was given every chance

50
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 5: to play pretty much every single day for a long

51
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 5: long time.

52
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 4: And you know it's time to part ways.

53
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 5: And and you've got to give John Middleton uh and

54
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 5: and Dave Nebrawski a lot of credit in that they're

55
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 5: respecting I think probably the wishes of the staff, meaning

56
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 5: the coaches and the manager. Uh And they are also respecting,

57
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 5: you know, so sort of eating the money, which is

58
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 5: a significant amount of money for the betterment of the collective.

59
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 5: And uh, I think they're moving forward without him in

60
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 5: a way that uh, I think that the Phillies feel

61
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 5: is positive.

62
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: And aren't they making the statement as almost any business would,

63
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: that gross insubordination cannot be tolerated absolutely.

64
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 4: I mean, there was some real egregious stuff that went on.

65
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 5: I know that Nick Castianos didn't refer to with some

66
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 5: of the stuff on on Instagram, but I don't think

67
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 5: the entire picture was painted there.

68
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 4: There was more to be said.

69
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 5: There was a lot of disrespect that was created from

70
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 5: Nick Castiano's to others, and I think they finally said

71
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 5: that's enough.

72
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: So I want to mention real quick if you're watching it,

73

Speaker 1: Recently, we're trying to get to fifteen, so we appreciate

Speaker 1: your support, and as always, go to the Philly show

77

Speaker 1: Shop dot com right there. But so it's like Nick

78
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: had these you know, remember when he signed it was

79
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: a five year, hundred million dollar contract of March two,

80
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: twenty two, he gave.

81
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: This very interesting press conference. You know, I don't have

82
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 2: a college degree.

83
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: I hit baseballs for a living, and it was like,

84
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: oh man, this guy's going to have an edge.

85
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: And he had such wild.

86
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: Ups and downs, these wild high these incredible highs and

87
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: these incredible lows. When he was bad, he was bad,

88
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: he admitted he was bad. But when he got hot, man,

89
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: he could carry a team. I remember in the twenty

90
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: twenty three postseason, you know, he had all those you

91
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: know that nlds and I think he homered in his

92
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: first at bat in the twenty twenty three NLCS against

93
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks, I'm like, oh, my god.

94
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: The Phillies of the World Series. And then he was

95
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: like oh for twenty three the rest of the NLCS.

96
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: So he had these crazy ups and downs, got cheered

97
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: a lot, got boot a lot, and then you know,

98
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: when he did struggle. I remember Rob dropped him to

99
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 1: as low as eighth in the lineup at one point.

100
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: I think that might have been in twenty twenty three,

101
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: and he was not happy about it.

102
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: You know, he wasn't happy last year. I think when he.

103
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: Kind of rebounded finished the season strong in twenty twenty four,

104
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: and I think he started last season hitting seventh in

105
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: the lineup. So there were some frustrations there on Knicks

106
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: part in terms of you know, hey, you know, the

107
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: least she was given or whatever, right or wrong you.

108
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: Know, he had.

109
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: There was some frustration there and he expressed it at times.

110
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: As you guys know, as everybody knows, he was never

111
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: afraid to voice his opinion. He was very blunt, very open.

112
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: He could be a difficult interview at times.

113
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: He could be a fun.

114
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: Interview at times, but he could be very, very harsh

115
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: in terms of his opinions, and that I think that

116
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: all kind of culminated into what happened in Miami in June.

117
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 3: You know, it's okay to be blunt and opinionated in

118
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: a difficult interview, sometimes an entertaining interview. So it's okay

119
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: to be quirky. It's not okay when your manager makes

120
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: a decision to remove you to try to help win

121
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: a ball game and replace you with a better defender.

122
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 3: It's not okay to go off on the manager in

123
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 3: the dugout and the coaches in the dugout. And then,

124
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 3: you know, crack a beer that symbolically was I don't know,

125
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: what do you think, Reuben, he gave him one of these?

126
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I've never heard of a player bringing a

127
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: beer into the dugout. I've heard of players, you know,

128
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: they can pulled out of the game, or reliever gets

129
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: out of a game, the starter gets out of the game.

130
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: They might have heard of that before, but but never

131
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: heard of a player the dugout.

132
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 3: I have no problem with.

133
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 4: Not agreeing with the manager or authority.

134
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: I do have a problem with dealing with it in

135
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 5: an unprofessional way.

136
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 4: And it was pretty clear that that's what happened.

137
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 5: And uh, you know, love or dislike Casianos she had.

138
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 5: He had an edge about how he played, and he

139
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 5: had some really highs, you know, big big.

140
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: Moments for the Phillies at times.

141
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 5: But I think at the end of the day, it's

142
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 5: about the whole body of work. And I guess the

143
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 5: feeling was, if you're not going to be super productive

144
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 5: and you're not going to be a positive in the

145
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 5: in the doug in the dug out, in the clubhouse,

146
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 5: and you're going to be a negative, then you sort

147
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 5: of have to be removed.

148
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: And that's the decision they made.

149
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: And it's it's okay to question the manager. It's okay

150
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: to stand up to the manager. It's okay to offer

151
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: your opinion, it's okay to bang heads. But there's a

152
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 3: way to do it. It's done, you know, at at

153
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: one in the afternoon behind a closed door or midnight

154
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: after a game behind a closed door. We've all walked

155
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: through clubhouses and heard shouting, but you know, it's behind

156
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: closed doors, done the right way. So his objections to

157
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 3: being taken out of the game that night, we're just

158
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: part of the decision on the Phillies part. But it

159
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: wasn't handled correctly, and it was the right decision.

160
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 4: I mean totally.

161
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 3: I don't agree with every single move.

162
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 5: That Rob Thompson makes. I do think he's an excellent manager.

163
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 5: I like the man, I like the way he goes

164
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 5: about it. That particular decision was the right decision. He

165
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 5: put a better defender in on a game that he

166
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 5: needed to win, and frankly, I was surprised he hadn't

167
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 5: done it before.

168
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you mentioned that, Ruby because I wrote

169
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: about that a little bit on on Thursday that you know,

170
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: we had been asking Rob for a long time.

171
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how far back.

172
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: But hey, in a close game, laid in the game,

173
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: would you take Nick out for defensive purposes? And then,

174
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: you know I always go back, and we've talked about

175
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: this before. Who was in left field when the Phillies

176
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: got the final out in the two thousand and eight

177
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: World Series.

178
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: It wasn't Pat Burrow. It was Eric Bruntlett.

179
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: Eric Bruntlett I think finished almost every game in the

180
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: postseason the left field because he was a better defender

181
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: and left than Pat Burle was.

182
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: And you never Patt never complained. He I'm sure, I

183
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: guess he.

184
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess he didn't like it, but he also

185
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: didn't like hate it.

186
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: And make a big story.

187
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 4: Pat knew was best for the team.

188
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: Right.

189
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 4: The same thing happened with Greg Lezinski over the years.

190
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 5: Jerry Mark, I mean, you know, I think I just

191
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 5: feel like, listen, you have to make moves that.

192
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 4: Aren't necessarily popular are going to help, you know, win

193
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: the baseball game. And that was one of them.

194
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, you look at Nick's you know that,

195
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: and then after what came out of that afterwards, I

196
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: remember Nick was had asked for the Phillies to supply

197
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: him all of his defensive metrics and whatnot. And but yeah,

198
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: to me, it was an obvious decision.

199
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 4: It was.

200
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: And it was like, hey, why why had this not?

201
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: Why had this Why hadn't this happened?

202
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 5: I would say this, So, you know, Mitford worked very

203
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 5: hard on his defense. I mean, he made himself very adequate.

204
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 5: But it wasn't really about the issue of the of

205
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 5: his effort. It was more about his overall ability to

206
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 5: cover ground. He just didn't have the foot speed much

207
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 5: like Pat Burrow, that was a very good left fielder,

208
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 5: I thought, with tracking the baseball and what have you

209
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 5: good throwing arm through the ball. Well, the problem was

210
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 5: that he just didn't have the overall speed necessary to

211
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 5: cover enough ground to be a plus defender. And so

212
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 5: that's sort of the same thing you had with Castianos.

213
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 5: And you know, you want to have some you want

214
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 5: to have, you know, some somebody who can cover some ground,

215
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 5: someone who has some range, and someone is a better

216
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 5: player out there when when when the game's a lot.

217
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: But I feel like this transaction, the performance was only

218
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 3: part of it, small part of it really, just the

219
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: relationship had soured. He was unhappy with his role. There

220
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: was an incident, there was other comments he made that

221
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: night in Arizona where he strongly insinuated the manager, who

222
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: was a very good communicator, was not a very good communicator.

223
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: I mean that stuff just you know, kind of bills

224
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: and bills and becomes like a wave. And it would

225
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: have just been too difficult to have a person with

226
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 3: those grievances against the leader. You're against leadership come back

227
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: into your into your clubhouse.

228
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 5: And this is a GM supporting his manager in a

229
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 5: lot of ways.

230
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 4: And in my in my mind, it's the right thing

231
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 4: to do.

232
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 3: What was it? Todd paint the scene a little bit

233
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 3: down there today if you could, Well, you kind.

234
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: Of knew it was coming down, of course, right, I mean,

235
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: Philly's first full squad workout is Monday, and players are

236
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: already starting to come in. It's like, you know, he

237
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: didn't have a locker, they'd taken down some of his

238
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: pictures in the clubhouse, and so you.

239
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 2: Knew it was imminent.

240
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, we get a heads

241
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: up Thursday afternoon, like, hey, they're going to release Nick

242
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: in a few minutes. You know, Dave de Browse, he's

243
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: going to come and talk to you guys. And so

244
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: we met Dave right outside the press box and he

245
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: talked for maybe like I don't know, seven ten minutes

246
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: something like that, and you know, just kind of he

247
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: kept saying, we just needed to have a change scenery.

248
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: We needed to have a change of scenery. And you know,

249
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: he said that they had tried to trade him, they

250
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: had some interest, but when it came down.

251
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: To it, obviously they could not close the deal.

252
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: And it was it was kind of asked like why

253
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: did it take so long, But it was like, well,

254
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: we thought we could make a trade here for Nick,

255
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: trade him to somebody and he pointed out, He's like,

256
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: we weren't looking for a lot of money in return.

257
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: We weren't looking for a lot of prospects in return.

258
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: We were looking for minimal return in money, minimal return

259
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: prospects to try to trade him, and it didn't happen.

260
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 2: You know, I did ask him at one point, I.

261
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 1: Said, was there any because this is important because and

262
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: Dave did say this, He's like, this was more than

263
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: just the Miami incident. He's like everybody's making a big

264
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: deal about the Miami incident. It wasn't just that, And

265
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't just that. I mean, go back. They tried

266
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: to trade him now three consecutive off seasons, including this one,

267
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, so they've been tried to trade him for

268
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: a while. But I said, was there any attempt after

269
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: the season to say, hey, is there any way that

270
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: we can work this out? In other words, like hey,

271
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: if you open the season as a platoon player, we'd

272
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: still love to have you. We still think he can

273
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: be productive. Could you be a platoon player for us?

274
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: And he basically said, we never had that conversation, So

275
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: that that to me, said.

276
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: They you know, it was more than just one moment

277
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 2: in time.

278
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: It was just a culmination of things like we're done,

279
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: you're done, we're done, we're moving on.

280
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: You're moving on.

281
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, I'm gonna be very interested

282
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: to see what kind of season he has.

283
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 4: I think he's in a lot of ways.

284
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 3: In a lot of ways, he's just what they needed.

285
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: They needed a right handed bat in the outfield. I mean,

286
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: if you could subtract the periods of you know, the

287
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: periods when he wasn't producing, if you get some more consistency,

288
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: it's just what they're looking for. But I just think

289
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: it was all based on where the relationship had gone.

290
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 3: Do you think there's going to be you think he

291
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: lands somewhere? What do we think.

292
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 4: I think he's got an opportunity to go somewhere.

293
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 5: In a lot of ways, Yeah, it's going to be

294
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 5: interesting to see what kind of season he puts together.

295
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 5: But sometimes sometimes you have to sort of be smacked

296
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 5: in the head and the mirror.

297
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 4: Has to break for you realize that you really have

298
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 4: been struggling.

299
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 5: And I think this is probably a little bit of

300
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 5: a wake up call that the team could not move

301
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 5: the man. You know, it's interesting he had a two

302
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 5: to fifty batting average for the season seventeen home runs,

303
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 5: seventy two RBIs. He only had a two ninety four

304
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 5: on base percentage, which is probably the lowest on base

305
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 5: percentage of any everyday player or close to it that

306
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 5: played pretty much every day, someone with over five hundred

307
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 5: plate appearances. But I would not be surprised if it

308
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 5: sort of lights a fire in him and the player

309
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 5: for somebody, it's very very possible that.

310
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: You know, it's odd. He gets hot, he makes.

311
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 5: Some adjustments and does some things and puts some I mean,

312
00:15:59,360 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 5: he has a bill.

313
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 4: There's no question the man was a first rounder.

314
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 5: He's had a lot of success over the course of

315
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 5: the his career. You know, he's thirty three, he's not forty,

316
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 5: and so keeps himself in pretty good shape. I mean,

317
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 5: I would be I would actually be surprised if he

318
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 5: didn't have some sort of productive season because I even

319
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 5: though he's guaranteed the money, he's probably gonna want to

320
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 5: play after twenty twenty six, and I.

321
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 4: Now wants to show the rest of the world that

322
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 4: he can.

323
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I yeah, it's funny because we all had

324
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: people saying, why don't they just release them? They're not

325
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: going to be able to trade him. I'm like, well,

326
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: I think that they think that they can. You know,

327
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: somebody is going to see some potential there. Even with

328
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: the whole incident, I'm sure. I think most people in

329
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: baseball probably had heard something about what had happened in

330
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: Miami and how the relationship had soured and whatnot. But

331
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, I said this, everybody said, tell you what

332
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: if I was a GM on another team and I

333
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: could get Nick for two million dollars per Phillies, two

334
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: million dollars if there was other interests and I needed

335
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: a right handed bat. I think he'll be on better

336
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: behavior this year, you know, in terms of all of this,

337
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: because he's a free agent after the season. I think

338
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: he's going to be motivated again, like you said, Ruben,

339
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: because he's going to want another contract beyond the season.

340
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: And I think Nick is the type of guy who's

341
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: going to play with an edge, and he would love

342
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: nothing more than have a big season that shove it up,

343
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: shove it up to Phillies butts. I think he would

344
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: absolutely love that moment.

345
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 5: And I would love to do that based on what

346
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 5: I know of him and how he's reacted to other things.

347
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 4: I think he would love to do that, and he

348
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 4: may very well do that.

349
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 3: Question, Rubin, how much does a general manager in his

350
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 3: front office way the potential of some right handed production

351
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 3: when he's hot, with some adjustments, et cetera. How much

352
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: do you weigh what you could get from the player

353
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 3: with how it ended in Philadelphia, with the stuff off

354
00:17:59,400 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: the field.

355
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 5: This is where if I was another GM looking for

356
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 5: a right handed bat with some production and a veteran guy,

357
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 5: where this would be require a flight to his.

358
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 4: Home, a discussion with him, a face.

359
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 5: To face and a very very candid discussion about what happened. Why,

360
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 5: knowing about much of the things that happened, but why,

361
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 5: and whether this is the right.

362
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 4: Fit for my team.

363
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 5: Some teams can, you know, don't get affected by guys

364
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 5: like this, even if he has a little bit of

365
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 5: an edge or whatever. You don't like totally like the makeup.

366
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 5: But I mean, listen, I was never afraid to, you know,

367
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 5: go and take a chance on somebody like this, especially

368
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 5: who is going to probably pretty pretty motivated to show

369
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 5: the world that he's a better player than he has

370
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 5: been the last couple of years.

371
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 3: Motivated to show the Phillies, motivated to get another contract

372
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 3: correct in stay baseball. I mean I could see somebody

373
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 3: rolling the dice on him. Who has a need Padres

374
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 3: trying to think who else but I? And if it

375
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: doesn't work out, you release him. You're on the hook

376
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 3: for you know, seven fifty grand.

377
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 5: And you're not taking big of a real big chance

378
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 5: on the guy obviously because you're paying him the minimum.

379
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 4: But no harm, no foul by giving him an opportunity.

380
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 5: But I think it would precipitate a very very candid

381
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 5: conversation for sure.

382
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: For sure, and you know it's going to be fun

383
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: to watch this season. Wherever he lands, people are gonna

384
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: be looking at that box square.

385
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: We're not going what Nick do? What Adulis Garcia do?

386
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: Not not?

387
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 6: It's not necessarily no doubt Garcia yea yeah, because I

388
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 6: mean this front off, you know, they they they're rolling

389
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 6: the dice on Garcia coming off of two down years.

390
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 2: They missed on Max Kepler last year or so.

391
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some you know, they need, they need

392
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: one of these guys and one of your guys to hit,

393
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: and it's the big.

394
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 3: What do you think of the letter? I liked the letter.

395
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 3: I liked that he drew like a log cabin on

396
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 3: the letter.

397
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 5: Not too many people used cursive anymore or write with

398
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 5: a lot of people type it all out.

399
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: That's true.

400
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 4: I mean, I think the letter was candid, but not

401
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 4: totally candid. It was a nice you know the thing,

402
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 4: got the whole story there.

403
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: And I wonder if the if, the if the I

404
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 3: wonder if the President Day was the good stuff that

405
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 3: you get in the Dominican or the or the knockoff

406
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: stuff that they sell here in the States.

407
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 4: You think it's a knockoff they sell the States. Huh, Well, it's.

408
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 3: Not the same quality as you get in the d R.

409
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 5: It's kind of like coming out of that cold ice

410
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 5: water and you drop off in the Santa Domingo.

411
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when you get a Guinness in

412
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: Dublin and tastes different than the United States.

413
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 4: Is that you're Jim, It's Stephan.

414
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 3: I've always said I've had it in the DR and

415
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 3: I've had it here and it does a little.

416
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: I have a bunch of President Days in my refrigerator

417
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 4: right now.

418
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: You should go crack one and on her and Nick.

419
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 5: I don't think I'm going I don't think I'm gonna

420
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 5: do that, James on my birthday.

421
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: I'm not going to do that.

422
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 4: That's right.

423
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: This is what we will say this about Ruben. It's

424
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 2: Thursday night. We remember recording this. It is his birthday

425
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: and he's taking the time to chat with us.

426
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 4: So happy birthday, Rubens. You're getting older better than the alternative.

427
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 3: What else is happening down there, Todd, give us a

428
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 3: quick update before Ruben has to go put his party

429
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: hat on.

430
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: Well, today was actually a real short day. They had

431
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: like a bunch of guys throw before the first official

432
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: workout on Tuesday, a ton of guys throwing Tuesday, had

433

00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: a very short quick day. Guys were in and out.

435
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: Bryce and Stott was in camp today. He got it

436
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: on the half field and guess who greeted him very warmly.

437
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: Bobby Dickerson and Larry bow They were and it took

438
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: about h less than a second for them to start

439
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: jumping on.

440
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: Bryce's stock smack.

441
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,600
