00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: outfielder Mike Cameron. He dropped by Let's go up to

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: lead off? It's getting robbed to keep him on. Rob's

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: hot take on the three biggest stories in Major League Baseball.

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: Number one, don't look out. But my World Series picked

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: before the season is looking better and better every day

16
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: because I picked the San Diego Padres and the New

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: York Yankees in the World Series. I know dor fans

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: don't want to hear from me, and they're saying you

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: said that last year about the Padres. It feels a

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: lot better now with Josh Bell and Juan Soto on

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: that team, and Josh Heyer as well in the bullpen,

22
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: So I could actually be right and uh as far

23
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: as my World Series pick, So keep an eye on

24
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: these two teams. These are the two teams I think

25
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: we'll make it to the World Series. Number two Aaron

26
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: Judge named the American League Player of the Month of April.

27
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: The two times Slugger Silver Slugger Award winner, posted a

28
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: three thirty three, four six eight oh six slash line

29
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 1: with runs thirty one hits, five doubles, thirteen home runs,

30
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: thirty two rb I, seventeen walks, five stolen bases across

31
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: twenty five games, and he recorded his Major League UH

32
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: leading ninth multi home run game. That was the last

33
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: Friday and Yankee Stadium and uh. He also has forty

34
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: three home runs on the year. But what a month

35
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: of July and uh. Aaron Judge continues the beat and

36
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: continues to have a season to remember. The Yankee outfielder

37
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: has been amazing. Number three, Last, but not least, of course,

38
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: is the death of legendary broadcaster Vince Gully, who died

39
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: on Tuesday at ninety four years old. Of course, he

40
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: did Los Angeles Dodger baseball games for sixty seven years.

41
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: Came with the team when they moved from Brooklyn to

42
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and um, you know, Vince Scully was of

43
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: course the Dodger broadcasting but he was a voice of

44
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: baseball and one that people do remember watching national games.

45
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: He called great moments in baseball history. He was on

46
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: the call when Hank Garon broke Babe Ruth's seven hundred

47
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: and fourteen home run record. He was there when Kirk

48
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: Gibson hit that classic home run in night against the

49
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: Oakland A's and Dennis eckerss Lee. He was there in

50
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: nine six when the ball went through Bill Buckner's legs.

51
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Vince s Gully was an American icon, legend,

52
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: and he will be missed by Baseball America, there is

53
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Here comes the big interview. Listen Hendler.

54
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's welcome into the podcast. Former major

55
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: league outfielder had sixteen years in the big leagues, Mike Cameron,

56
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: who of course uh broken with the White Sox and

57
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: people still remember him as that guy who hit four

58
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: home runs in one game and two thousand two, Mike

59
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: Cameron welcome to the podcast. Appreciate it. Rob always good man.

60
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: I was good to be on the show, no doubt.

61
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the trade deadline. I saw a tweet

62
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: you had out there just about players and uh, you know,

63
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: the anticipation of the trade deadline and how how do

64
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: what do players go through during that time? Are they

65
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: conscious that their names out there or they're hoping and

66
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: praying that they don't get moved? What is that like?

67
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lot of conscious uh, anxiety and

68
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: energy because of the fact that guys, uh, you know,

69
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: could possibly be on the move, and it's just a

70
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: matter of being able to kind of guide yourself through

71
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: that little transition period of when this is going down. Uh,

72
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: some guys know they're gonna be moved, especially if your

73
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: team and not winning, you ever the year and you

74
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: maybe a piece of someone else. It's always a good

75
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: opportunity to do certain things. So, um, yeah, it's tough, man,

76
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: It's tough on families, it's tough on everyone. And I

77
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: just think that you know, as we look at that,

78
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, just understand the pressure that the players are

79
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: already under. What really transpires when he's really going through

80
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: something how about the what the San Diego Padres did? Uh, Mike,

81
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: I thought, Uh, boy, did they go over the top.

82
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: You know the Dodgers have on the NL West, the

83
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: Dodgers or the big brother there the little brother. But

84
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: now you add a guy like Juan Soldo and even

85
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: Josh Bell to that lineup. Uh, to go with Mannie

86
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: Machado and they're gonna get Fernando tattoos back. What did

87
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: you think of that move? Getting Soldau? Very impressive, very impressive. Um,

88
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: they just made themselves are very very tough in the

89
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: n L West. Obviously the eygress are still head and shoulders,

90
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: you know above because they have some players coming back. Uh,

91
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: some guys have been out the major impact on their team.

92
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: But you know, just kind of like legingate it though,

93
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: like that they have the sending the Protects have a

94
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: very good chance to make it very tough for the

95
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: Dodgers moving forward for the rest of the year and

96
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: for the next coming of years. So what comes back,

97
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: They're gonna be really difficult and they're gonna be really

98
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: exciting to watch. Sandiego's gonna be on fire. I think

99
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: I take a J Phillis, Congratulations and you got your

100
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: Um you got your town like on fire right now. Yeah,

101
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: And it's a great ballpark atmosphere. Anybody who has not

102
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: been to the ballpark in San Diego, it's beautiful. One

103
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: thing I will say though, and I want to get

104
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: your opinion, is I thought once so it was crazy

105
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: to turn down four hundred and forty million dollars guaranteed.

106
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Mike. I don't care what anybody says. How

107
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: do you turn down for that's a half a billion dollars?

108
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: Do you know this ain't a contract? This is all guaranteed.

109
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, Robert. I can't asker that I was.

110
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: That's hard to do. It's really hard to do. Um,

111
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: No one. They still have two more years to go

112
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: to a free agency. Um Man, I just if there's

113
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: something better out there, then hey, I get somebody. I

114
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: just got boards knows, because that's gonna be a really

115
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 1: tough one. That and we're talking about, you know, twelve

116
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: to two teen years. It sounds like that he was

117
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: trying to get to these numbers and so it's very

118
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: difficult to do something like that. But I can't even

119
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: say I understand it, But I understand the logic that

120
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: he probably is trying to maximize every single dollar in

121
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: full potential and uh going to the highest bidder. But

122
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: that's really tough and it really hardly to sleep. And

123
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: I know that they're gonna be rebuilding, They're gonna be

124
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna have some kind of leaning years

125
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: over there. But you've got that kind of money guaranteed

126
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: this it's uh, it's really tough to turn it down.

127
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, he's going to a really great place.

128
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: I played in San Diego, beautiful, sev degree savory degrees

129
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: and Sonny every day. But uh, that four forty four,

130
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: seventy four and five where he's ringing lingering, it's gonna

131
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: be lingering forever because you're not too many guys turned

132
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: on that type of money, no doubt. Our guess is

133
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: Mike Cameron, of course, former major league center fielder. Uh,

134
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: of course, I'm broken with the White Sox, played with

135
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: the Reds, the Mariners, the Mets, Padres, Brewers, Red Sox,

136
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: and the Marlins. Let me ask you, you hit uh

137
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy eight home runs in your career

138
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: and Aaron Judges on pace to be the first player

139
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: to get you maybe break Roger Marrison's without any you know,

140
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: questions about p d s or juice or anything like that.

141
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: Can he get there? I mean he had, He's had

142
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: an unbelievable stretch recently. Um, after they all start right,

143
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: almost definitely, I mean not only he's just hit on runs,

144
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: he's hitting kill you. So if you make a mistake,

145
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: most guys hit you know, singles and devils or whatever.

146
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: He's he's in the most the cains man. We're them

147
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: playing Yankee Stadium. I know, you know, we we try

148
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: to not have any discripancies, but when you play in

149
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: a hitter friendly ballpark, in his cave. I know he's

150
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: right handed, but he's able to slip without the right

151
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: center too. So if you miss, he's gonna flip you

152
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: into the first second row of right field. And if

153
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: you miss in he's gonna take you deep the center

154
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: or left center or left field. So he's just in

155
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: that zone. You gotta kind of pick your spots. And

156
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure sure as you go down the stretch run

157
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: here and teams will be vying for playoff spots. Um,

158
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be giving too many cookies to hit.

159
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna be very carefu with him, but he's definitely

160
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: got a good chance. Has already asked what the three

161
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: homers already like, Yeah, yeah, that's that's crazy. I mean,

162
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's in one of those stretches that

163
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: we used to see somebow the great Barry bonds Man

164
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: and and Sammy Shous and those guys, And right now

165
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: he's doing it on a very good baseball team and

166
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't really have, you know, the kind of protection

167
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: that you think he would have been able to hit

168
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: the men homers. But it's just that his natural ability

169
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: is allowing him to get the ball in the air

170
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: and squared up like sending percent of the time when

171
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: he was going out of the ballpark. So it's crazy

172
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: to be able to see something like that, no doubt.

173
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: And I know you're an assistant a special assignment coach

174
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: for the Mariners and also your son, Daz uh tell

175
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: everybody about your son and uh his uh entry into

176
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: the major leagues and how proud you are of him

177
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: always because I didn't know how difficult it is rob

178
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: to even get an opportunity to play in the big

179
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: leagues and he's been in it. Now I just got

180
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: called back up today, he's been up and down a

181
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: little bit. Uh. He was doing very well before he

182
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: ran into the little COVID situation that caused him the

183
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: miss tim berries and and then it just kind of

184
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: like reset. He's got to start all over again. So

185
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm so I'm really happy for him. I I try to,

186
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, balance my coaching and being a dad. Uh.

187
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: You know something he just don't got used to. If

188
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: I say something he doesn't like, you just don't even

189
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: respond to it no more. So I want you to

190
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: understand that. Um. But I stay on him because I'm

191
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: always gonna tell him every I'm gonna tell him. I'm

192
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: not gonna tell him anything bad. I'm always gonna tell him,

193
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, what's good, what's right, and what I see,

194
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: and and just try to enjoy it. Man. I just

195
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: try to let him enjoy his moment. Says it. I

196
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: know it's very difficult. I know it's very stressful. Uh,

197
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: he's been on a roller coaster this year and trying

198
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: to keep balancing his mind as to say, Man, you know,

199
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,959

Speaker 1: b S analytics is his game. What do you got

215
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: for me? At the date, there have been ninety three

216
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: hitters in MLB history to reach two thousand plate appearances

217
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: through age twenty three season, Juan Soto has the sixth

218
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: best ops of any of them at the only guys

219
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: ahead of him Ted Williams, Albert Pools, Jimmy Fox, Joana Maggio,

220
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: and Mel Ott. If you look at ops plus A,

221
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: Stata takes into account league era Ballpark et cetera, where

222
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: one dred is league average and every point above or

223
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: below is a percentage point better or worse. Soto's one

224
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: nine mark ranks fifth on that list, only behind Williams,

225
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: ty Cobb, Mike Trout and Pooh Holes. Now to his discipline.

226
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: For his career, he has fifty more walks than strikeouts,

227
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: an unheard of number for a power hitter in this

228
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: era of whiffs. Only six players MLB history have one

229
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: hundred homers and more walks and strikeouts before turning twenty

230
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: four Williams, DiMaggio, Fox, Eddie Matthews and Soto. They say

231
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: you're only as good as the company you keep. From

232
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: a staff perspective, Soto is in a rare company. It

233
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: was a big week in the big leagues. Who's Who's

234
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: Is it foul? Or is it fair? And now from

235
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: MLB bro dot Com, here's JR. Gambles Jr. Is it

236
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: foul or fair? To say that Josh Bell, not Juan Soto,

237
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: will be the biggest difference maker this season for the

238
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: San Diego Padres Fair? It's a fair all. Bell has

239
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: been a more consistent and dangerous hitter than so the

240
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: all season. Now he's having a career year, and Soto

241
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: could be having what we consider a down year, but

242
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: we are talking about the two thousand, twenty two season,

243
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: and don't get it twisted. That was not a throw

244
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: in on the Wan Soto trade. Of course, Soto was

245
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: the prize, the twenty three old phenomen was expected to

246
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: post Hall of Fame numbers over his career. Bell, however,

247
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: is only twenty nine, so we're still in the prime

248
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: as a hitter. After years of figuring out what kind

249
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: of hitter he wants to be, you see Bell has exploded,

250
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: and what you really see is Bell's maturity, a guy

251
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: who has been around the block and now understand what

252
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: works for him. As the Padres make a serious move

253
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: on the Dodgers in the National League West, they will

254
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: have many weapons to use, but the addition of a

255
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: first baseman of DH that can hit three hundred and

256
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: slug Linkoln's an already potent Padre's lineup, giving them another

257
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: all Star caliber player who was also having a peak season.

258
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Josh Bell will be the ex factor this season for

259
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: the San Diego Padres. When Rob was a newspaper columnist,

260
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: he lived by this motto, if I'm writing I'm ripping.

261
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: Let's bring in a writer, a broadcaster, older, new now us.

Speaker 1: The Athletic Jim. Welcome to the podcast. Rob. Great to

267
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: be on your podcast again. Hey, hey, Jim. Before we

268
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: get to the blockbuster trades and what went on and

269
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: baseball was exciting on the trade deadline yesterday August second,

270
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: let me ask you about this. Vince S. Gully passed away.

271
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: Of course, the longtime broadcasting for the Los Angeles Dodgers

272
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: started in Brooklyn. Youngest guy ever broadcast a World Series game,

273
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: and you had a very nice tweet about Vince Gully.

274
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: It's it's a sad day with the loss of Vince

275
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: Scully for all of baseball. Yeah, it certainly is. Rob.

276
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean to me, you know, when I closed my

277
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: eyes and tried to to understand the sport of baseball,

278
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: um through my ears, the first thing that comes to

279
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: my ear drums is the voice of Ben Scully. Because

280
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: he wasn't just the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

281
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: He was the voice a Major League Baseball and as

282
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: a kid, I heard him call World Series games. I

283
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: heard him call all Star games besides Dodgers Baseball. And

284
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: I was very fortunate to meet him when I was

285
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: initially the GM of the Cincinnati Red and he would

286
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: come in covering when we would play the Dodgers, and

287
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: he he came in to me and asked if if

288
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: I would have lunch with him in the in the

289
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: press box. And I gotta be honest with you, you know,

290
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a I'm a young kid. In my hands

291
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: are sweaty and nervous meeting Vin Scully and had a

292
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: wonderful meal, and when the meal was done, I felt

293
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: like we had been friends our whole lives. And from

294
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: then on, whenever I went to Dodgers Stadium, I'd always

295
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: go into his broadcast booths to say hello, and he

296
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: treated me like family and thought I was special. But

297
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: it was so great about Vin is That's how he

298
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: made everybody feel. And it didn't matter if you were

299
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: a ticket taker or a popcorn vendor, or just a

300
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: fan in the last row of the bleachers. Vince Scully

301
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: treat everyone as their friend and every friend as their family.

302
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: And he was just that special. And um, he was

303
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: a godfather of broadcasters. And I remember before I did

304
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: my first game ever calling it for ESPN Radio. Um,

305
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: it was done at Dodger Stadium in a booth right

306
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: next to Vince Scully's and didn't have me over and

307
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: gave me some inspiration prior to There was no better

308
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: storytellers ever in the history of broadcasting than Vince Gully

309
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: and his recall and his intelligence of sharing information beyond

310
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: any broadcaster I've ever heard in my life, no doubt,

311
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: well said. And uh, he was a legend, legend who

312
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: will be missed. Um, let's let's talk about before uh

313
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: that we found out about the passing of Vince Gully.

314
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: What fireworks we saw at the trade deadline, including the

315
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: San Diego Padres telling everybody to get out of their way. Day.

316
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: The biggest winner is getting one soldo on that blockbuster deal.

317
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: Oh Rob, There's no doubt about it. And I've I've

318
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: said that the deal happened. I mean it sincerely. That

319
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: was the biggest baseball trade in the history of the sport. Um,

320
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: it's not the biggest trade in sports history. That of course,

321
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: is the Herschel Walker trade, where the Cowboys traded him

322
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: for the minute to the Minnesota Vikings for seven first

323
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: round picks and more players, and they ended up winning

324
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: multiple Super Bowls because of it. But this was the

325
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: biggest trade we've ever seen in baseball, and never before

326
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: we've seen a twenty three year old player who is

327
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: a combination of Hank Aaron and Ted Williams. We've never

328
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: seen that player moved ever. Now. We did see um

329
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: many many years ago. Miami Marlins had a third basement

330
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: by the Aman. Miguel Cabrera, who was going to be

331
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, was traded age, but he was

332
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: traded for an overhyped prospect in Cameron Mathan and a

333
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: left handed pitcher in Andrew Miller. We you've never seen

334
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: the return that we saw on the Wan Soto trade

335
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: in any trade in the history of the entire sport.

336
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: It's never happened before. And of the five prospects going

337
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: back to Washington, all five of them profile as a

338
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: potential All Star. We've never seen a trade with that

339
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: many top players were traded back for another player. So

340
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: it was an incredible day. It'll be an historic trade

341
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: deadline because of that blockbuster, and it puts the Padres

342
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: in a position where they can now get into the

343
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: playoffs as a wild card team finished second behind the Dodgers,

344
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: and then have a clear pathway to winning the World Championship,

345
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: which they didn't have before the trade. And when you

346
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: put one Soto in between Fernando Tatis Jr. And Manny

347
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: Machadow in the lineup, you don't have three guys in

348
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: a row that you just can't pitch around anymore. And

349
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: that when you start having that in the lineup, that's

350
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: when that's when you're in trouble. And that's what the

351
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: Podres had now. And by the way, at the deadline,

352
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: they also lengthened their lineup with the acquisitions of both

353
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: Josh Bell and Brandon Jury. So it wasn't just the

354
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: impact Soto that's gonna be a game changer. They've lengthened

355
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: their lineup as well. And and the scary part on

356
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: this Jim is that they also, like tattoos is three

357
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: Soto's twenty three like like those two alone. UH for

358
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: a franchise to have for the next ten or twelve

359
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: years is a UH is a great proposition for long

360
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: term success for franchise, isn't it. Yeah? And you know

361
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: you get Soto for sure for three more postseasons and

362
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: then we'll see if ownership is willing to give him

363
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: a fifteen years half a billion dollars it's going to

364
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: take to sign him. I know you and I have

365
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: a pizza bet because I said he will get a

366
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: half a billion dollars. I'm saying still he will not

367
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: get a half billion. I know we got a Mowberry's

368
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: pizza on Cannon out there in Beverly Hills. I'm a bat,

369
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: so I'm waiting for my pizza. But here's the thing.

370
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: I think this is the player you to try to sign,

371
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: and you want to take advantage of the timing. You

372
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: want to try to do it this offseason and not

373
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: let them get the free agency. But to your point,

374
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: if you if you could have Soto, Tatis and Machado

375
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: for the next decade, as you're saying, you don't have

376
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,239
Speaker 1: to do anything else with position players, all you have

377
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: to do around them is get an average major league

378
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: player in every other position and then you can spend

379
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: all the remaining money you have on player payroll just

380
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: on pitching and that's a formula to win. Any team

381
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: that has those three guys in a row, just that

382
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: average players in every other position. You don't have to

383
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: spend a lot of money outside of those three. Offensively,

384
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: you'll score what you need to score, and you'll beat

385
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: good pitching because that's what those three guys bring to

386
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: the table. They're not normal three hitters. They hit the

387
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: best pitching. So if you get into October, you can

388
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: beat the Gramin Cherzer, you can beat Burns and Woodrofe,

389
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: you can beat Kershawn Consulin when you have that kind

390
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: of offense. So it does certainly set you up for

391
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: a long time. Guessed Jim Bone, former Major League general manager,

392
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: All so with CBS Sports, the Athletic and of course

393
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: MLB Radio on Sirius x M other winners and losers,

394
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: and on the trade deadline. So the Dodgers really didn't

395
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: do anything. Give me something, give me another winner and

396
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: maybe two losers. All right, Um, I have to give

397
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: the two winners because you have the Yankees, right, and

398
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: you can't ignore the fact that you get the second

399
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: best starting pitcher that was traded in Frankie Montas and

400
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: two Gold Glove outfielders that doesn't happen often. Andrew Ben

401
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: Attendee for left, Harrison Vader for center, and they made

402
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: the moves based on October were other than getting there.

403
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: In other words, they gave up Jordan Montgomery, one of

404
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: their consistent starters, because they didn't think that he would

405
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: help in October winner World Series more than the Gold

406
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: Club center fielder. They got back in Beder, and they

407
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: got two good relievers to I think Scott f Fross

408
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: was the most underrated reliever trade at the deadline, so

409
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: that their winners, I mean Seattle getting Lewis to steal

410
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: he was the best starting pitcher that was available. They

411
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: haven't made the playoffs in twenty one years. They gave

412
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: up three other top five prospects do it, but I

413
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: think they clinched a wild card bird by that trade.

414
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: I also want to give special mention. I won't get

415
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: into detail, but Philadelphia and Minnesota both made their teams

416
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: way better too. UM. So those were the winners for

417
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: the teams ready to win. Now you've got to mention

418
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: the Nationals and Reds who did the best job of

419
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: rebuilding for the future. UM. And in terms of losers,

420
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: UM Deep Dish Pizza, Big time losers. Why south side

421
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: of Chicago, the White Sox did nothing nothing. They needed help,

422
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: embarrassing Rob right. I mean all they did was get

423
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: Jake Diekman and his bad contract. That was it. They

424
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: needed a fat they needed more pitching. They did nothing.

425
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 1: They took ambient That's all they did. And on the

426
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: North side of Chicago a team that is selling. They

427
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: had Wilson, Contreris and Ian half Bit. Everybody wanted they had.

428
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: They had five six teams on all of them. They

429
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: weren't able to make a deal and they held onto them,

430
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: which makes no trying to sell loser losers, no doubt,

431
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: no doubt out and uh, I guess uh Jim, great,

432
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: great insight for the trade deadline. Appreciate you and continue success,

433
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: my man. Thank you now bringing the closer. Here's why

434
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: MLB is better than the NFL or NBA, and it

435
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: isn't even close. Reason number four hundred and ninety nine

436
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: why baseball is better than the NBA and NFL, and

437
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: it has to do with it's broadcasters like the late

438
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: Vince Scully. I don't know any other sport where people

439
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: connect to the broadcasters. That doesn't mean in the NFL

440
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: and NBA. They don't have favorite broadcasters, but they don't

441
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: impact your life the way baseball does. Will you hear

442
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: somebody's voice every day for six months and he becomes

443
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,959
Speaker 1: a part of your soundtrack to your life. He's in

444
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: your kitchen, he's on your debt back, he's on your boat,

445
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: he's in your headset. That's what Vince Scully was to

446
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. And I'll always remember he had some great calls,

447
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 1: especially on the National broadcast where I got to hear

448
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: him the most doing game for NBC, of course, that

449
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: great home run by Kirk Gibson to shock the Oakland A's,

450
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: But it still was the famous call in Game six

451
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: of nineteen eighties six World Series that forever moves me

452
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: and gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.

453
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: And Uh, if you've never really paid attention to Vince

454
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: Scully and his talents, listen to this call for a

455
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: famous Game six of the World Series. Five five and glorious.

456
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: Can you believe this? Three into the Lukie Wilson little

457
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: roller up along first behind the bag. It gets through,

458
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: but there that comes Night in the mix with it.

459
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: If one picture is worth a thousand words, you have

460
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,560
