1
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: Joining her own mom, I've ben waiting more. Welcome to Masterritor. Everybody,

2
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: brought to you by the foul I cannot speak, brought

3
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: to you by the foul Territory Network. We're already underway

4
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: in the off season and I'm already having trouble speaking.

5
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: How's everybody doing. How do you like the new in tro?

6
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: We worked on the new in tro all day today though,

7
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: actually the last couple of days, but got to freshen

8
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: things up for the off season. Hope you all like it.

9
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: But everybody, welcome, Welcome, welcome. I guess you could say

10
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: this is the first off season stream. I mean, we're

11
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: not really in the off season yet. Obviously we're in

12
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: the middle of the postseason. I believe the Dodgers just

13
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: wrap things up against the Phillies not too long ago.

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: I think the Mariners and the Tigers they are playing tonight,

15
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: and uh, here we are talking about the offseason. But

16
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: we had some news for today. Craig Breslo, Sam Kennedy,

17
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: Alex Cora at the podium today taking questions talking about

18
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: the Red Sox in twenty twenty five and the twenty

19
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: twenty six offseason. You know, as usual, they you know,

20
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: they're not really gonna give you a whole lot to

21
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: really dive into, to chew into. You know, you're gonna

22
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: have to try and read in between the lines as

23
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: much as you can. Whenever Craig talks Sam Kennedy as well, right, Cora.

24
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: He mentioned a couple of things about the Red Sox

25
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, talked about the postseason as well.

26
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: But I think we got a lot here to dive into,

27
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: to kind of try to dissect as much as we can.

28
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: And I got my thoughts. I got my ideas, and

29
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: of course, ideas and thoughts can change every day. Every night,

30
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: I could wake up feeling differently about something. You know,

31
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: I could be thinking, here right now, okay, we need

32
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: to go get this guy, this player. We got to

33
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: they got to be the main targets. But then I

34
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: could wake up in a couple of days and be like,

35
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: you know what, there's there's also this guy over here. Right.

36
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: So that's the off season for you. It's always fluid.

37
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Anytime you got twenty nine other teams involved, you know,

38
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: things can happen rather quickly, things can change rather rapidly,

39
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: And that's the off season for you. But That's part

40
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: of why I like it. Right, it's just a it's

41
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: very fluid, very dynamic. But for the Red Sox, they

42
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: got a big off season ahead. Obviously, we had a

43
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: sad ending here. We're done really talking about twenty five Ryan,

44
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: unless you're bringing up areas that you need to improve.

45
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: So we're gonna start getting our focus towards this offseason

46
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: and I'm excited for it. Like I said, a lot

47
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: of comments here today from Craig, Sam Kennedy, Korra, but

48
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: we also have an article from Pete Abraham. We'll dive

49
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: into that a little bit. I'll give you my thoughts

50
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: on that. Mark Finesnd he actually had an article in

51
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. I didn't really touch on

52
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: it very much, but we'll look at that as well.

53
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: But everybody, if you can hit the like button for me,

54
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: subscribe if you're new to Moster territory. We're trying to

55
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: get the five K. I think we can get to

56
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: five K by the end of the postseason. I know

57
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: we're not in the postseason, but I think we could

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: still maybe get there. We're still gonna be doing a

59
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: few shows per week until the end of the postseason.

60
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: And obviously throughout the off season. Most likely in the

61
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: off season, we're gonna be pretty busy, you know, with

62
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: all the rumors and whatnot flying around. Usually, I'll say this,

63
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: in the off season, Sundays through Thursdays, that tends to

64
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: be the sweet spot for the off season, right, Fridays

65
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: and Saturdays, they tend to be a bit more quiet.

66
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes you'll have something happen, you know, and I'll go

67
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: live for that, But expect to schedule more so from

68
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: Sunday through Thursday. Right, Let's get to it, everybody. Let's

69
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: get to it. I hope everyone had a good start

70
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: to their Happy Monday. It is Monday, right, Happy Monday, everybody.

71
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: I've been working too much today. I don't even know

72
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: what day it is. But let's get to it here,

73
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: let's get to it. Let's dive into I mean, we

74
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: got to get a start right away with a press conference, right,

75
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: we got the press conference here today. First off, you know,

76
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: Craig he was kind of reflecting on the twenty twenty

77
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: five season, right, he said, they're heading in the right direction.

78
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: You know, this is a great it was a it

79
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: was a good group this year. You know, Core touched

80
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: on that as well, and there were a lot of

81
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: good things about this team, you know, but he also

82
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: talked about areas that you know, do need to be

83
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: improved as well. But when asked about what he had

84
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: learned what Craig Breslo had learned this past season, he

85
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: said this, I learned a lot. Every time there's a

86
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: decision to be made, there's also an opportunity to learn,

87
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: to learn about each O, to learn about the rest

88
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: of the Baseball Operations group, to learn about myself. And

89
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: I'm constantly kind of reliving those decisions to make sure,

90
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: not necessarily that the outcome was right that can be

91
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: really difficult to predict, but that we had a good

92
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: decision making process, that we had the information that was

93
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: necessary to make the best decisions possible. I've learned a

94
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: lot about the value of building relationships and having clear

95
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: communication and spending time with the coaching staff, and spending

96
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: time with the players and certainly with Alex and having

97
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: honest conversations, uncomfortable as they may be at times. So

98
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: I think the short answer there is I've learned a ton.

99
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: You know.

100
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know this is still you know, obviously last year,

101
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: who was in the fold but twenty twenty four was

102
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: more of an evaluation year, right. This was the first

103
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: step forward under Craig Breslo, And you know, the end

104
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: of the day, it's his second year leading a front office, right,

105
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: It's very natural. Even though yeah, he played a lot

106
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: obviously in the major leagues, right, I had a lot

107
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: longer career. This is new for him obviously, so there's

108
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: gonna be some things along the way. And then that's

109
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: something we had heard with Craig where you know, communication

110
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: seems to be a bit iffy. You know, there's that

111
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: whole you know, the stiff comment or whatever it was

112
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: from a former front office executive as well, you know.

113
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: But Breslo, I would say, over the last couple of months,

114
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: you have been seeing him a bit more active, right,

115
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's he was at the field a little

116
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: bit more, talking with people a little bit more. Of course,

117
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, he would go back into his burrow, right,

118
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: But I did notice a bit of a difference there.

119
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: But Craig, you know, seems like he's got a better

120
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: handle on things. And he was asked as well about

121
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, looking back at the Raffie trade. I think

122
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: about this from a baseball perspective, and that is trying

123
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: to build this athletic, dynamic team and giving ourselves and

124
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: the baseball operation as much flexibility as we possibly can

125
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: to do that. What I have seen as a player,

126
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: and what I've seen over the last couple of years,

127
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: is that this ownership group, when there is a chance

128
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: to build a winner and a team that can contend

129
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: for the postseason, resources aren't a problem. And I think

130
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: we've talked about a lot or I think we've talked

131
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: a lot about how this window of contention is upon us.

132
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: That was a follow up to a question, or that

133
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: was an answer to a question about clearing Raffi's contract

134
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: off of the payroll, and uh, you know, do they

135
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: plan to try to utilize that for this coming off season?

136
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: So that's what he meant by you know, there's a

137
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: chance to build a winner. Resources on a problem?

138
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: Right?

139
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: You know, looking back, you know you can't he someone

140
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: brought up Raffi and he he just kind of smiled,

141
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: right because the whole thing was just a mess, right,

142
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: And Uh, in a way, I think it's actually good

143
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: for him. You know, say what you will about the

144
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: Raffi trade, Say what you will about Craig. But I mean,

145
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: that's some pretty good experience to go through early on

146
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: in your you know, early career as a president of

147
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: baseball operations, right, having to go through drama like that,

148
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: especially in a town that is very rich with the media, right,

149
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: And so I'd have to say that's a pretty good

150
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: learning experience. And he and they came out of it

151
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: alive at the end of the day. Right. In the end,

152
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: you go back to the Raffi trade, he said he

153
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: believed that this was a team that would have more

154
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: wins without Raffi, Right, not a knock against Raffi, but

155
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: more so because of the team that they had, the

156
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: flexibility that they had at that point. So, yeah, it's

157
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: what it is. And I'm interested to see how he

158
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: moves going forward, kind of going back here to or

159
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: I guess taking a step forward here. This is where

160
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: they started to kind of dive into the questions of

161
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: this coming off season, right. You know, Sam Kennedy gave

162
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: a couple of comments saying he was very proud, right Kora,

163
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: you know, saying pretty much the same things. Obviously, we

164
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: should all be proud of the twenty twenty five Red Sox, Right,

165
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: they did a lot of good things. This year came

166
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: up short, but we should all definitely be proud of

167
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: this team. But the off season obviously was a hot

168
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: point here in a window of contention, urgency is needed.

169
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: That was a big focus of Breslow in this conference.

170
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: From this press conference as well, he said they're going

171
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: to look to improve the team via free agency and trade.

172
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: He did mention pitching, right, that was an emphasis there,

173
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: and building a rotation, right. He talked about Garrett crochet

174
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: how obviously the great year that he had and saying,

175
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's kind of hard to really just

176
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: get a whole ton of Garrett Crochets, Right, That's why

177
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: you gotta obviously, you got to do well with your development,

178
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: but they also have to be aggressive this coming off season.

179
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: And Joe Ryan Dylan Cees, Right, let's talk about the pitching.

180
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: We all know the guys that are going to be

181
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: out there. Joe Ryan's the main target when it comes,

182
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: you know, to the trade market. I would also say

183
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: Sandy al Contra in there. You know, you got to

184
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: remember here with the Red Sox this coming off season,

185
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: they're going to have competition. They are going to have

186
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: other teams getting into the mix, especially for a guy

187
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: like Ryan. I mean, I'm looking at the Mets. I'm

188
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: looking at the Mets to make a big move when

189
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: it comes to this offseason, because you saw, yes, even

190
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: though they do have a lot of good young pitching

191
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: coming up the pipe, you know, McLean, Tong spro right,

192
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: they all came up there. They ended up still falling short,

193
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: but they really lacked the depth on the pitching staff

194
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: and the bullpen was getting taxed. I fully expect the

195
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: Mets to go out there this coming off season and

196
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: go make a move. They got prospects, they can move.

197
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Like I said, you got three pictures there. Could you

198
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: maybe deal one of those guys?

199
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 3: Right?

200
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: You know, would the Twins want to get a you know,

201
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: an arm back in return? Yeah, I think that's very possible. Right,

202
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: the Red Sox they can make a move, but you know,

203
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: will they have to give up someone like Peyton totally

204
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: or a Connolly early guys that showed you a lot

205
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: of good things. So I could see the Red Sox

206
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: and the Mets going head to head for a guy

207
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: like Joe, Ryan and h Then you could see Sandy

208
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: al Concer being a fallback. The Marlins hey, they're about

209
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: to You know, we were all thinking the Marlins are

210
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: probably a couple of years away, but they showed some

211
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: good things, right, they knocked the Mets out on the

212
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: final day. They are a little further ahead than we

213
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: all thought. Could the Marlins you know, maybe look to

214
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: you know, make a move this coming off season for

215
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: Sandy or would they maybe rather hang.

216
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 4: On to him?

217
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: We'll see. You know, obviously, if you make a good offer,

218
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: then anything can happen. But if you were to make

219
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: a trade for Sandy, if they were motivated to move him,

220
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, I wonder if the Red Sox could be

221
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: a good trade partner, right, you know, could they you know,

222
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: could you maybe do something might sound we'll talk about

223
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: Jaron Duran, will you or bray you? But if the

224
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: Marlins were to look to add some bats, could maybe

225
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: one of those guys be on the table, right a

226
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: possible trade? Same thing with Joe Ryan. You know, I

227
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: think either one of Duran or will you're could be

228
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: a guy that he sent back for either of those pictures,

229
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: right and al con sure he looked very good in

230
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: the second half. And then you know, if the trade

231
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: market isn't the way, then yeah, Dylan Cees. I think

232
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: Dylan Ceese is going to be a that's a name

233
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear about. I think, you know, Scott Boris, Yeah,

234
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: you know, but hey, you got the Scott Boris connection

235
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: with Bregman. But you know how Boris is, He's gonna

236
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: look for a big payday. You got Framburgh out there.

237
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: He had the whole thing with the Astros, you know,

238
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: with a with their capture this year, the cross up situation.

239
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wonder. I just wonder about his

240
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: market in general. You know, there's gonna be Rangers, Suarez,

241
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: You'll you'll have a couple of guys on the market.

242
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: But I do think Joe Ryan Sandy are gonna be

243
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: the top two targets on the trade market for them,

244
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: and I think Cease will be the other guy. And

245
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: I will see what they end up doing. I do

246
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: expect the Red Sox to land a guy behind Crochet.

247
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: It's very obvious it needs to happen. You saw the

248
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: gap between Crochet and Giolito Bao g I've said it

249
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: all year, Gildo, I was saying it since the beginning

250
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: of the year for the most Once you saw them

251
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 1: get going a little bit. I said, they're like a

252
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: three to four in the rotation, like they It's not

253
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: like that's rocket science, right. We all saw it. They

254
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: needed it too, you know. And yeah, sure the offense

255
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: came up short in the postseason, but you kind of

256
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: wonder if maybe things could have gone a little differently

257
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: if they had gotten a longer start than what BeO

258
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: gave you in Game two. You know, you wonder. But

259
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: I definitely expect the Red Sox to land someone who

260
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: that ends up being. I don't know, right, I think

261
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: we all hope it's gonna be Ryan. I think a

262
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: lot of us will be okay with Sandy. I think Cease.

263
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: I could see people groaning at that because they're gonna

264
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: look at the era. But here's the thing with Cease,

265
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: the reason the Red Sox have shown interest in him

266
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: into the past is the Red Sox when it comes

267
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: to their pitching philosophy, they are very big on v

268
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: low and swing and miss. Those are the two attributes

269
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: they really look for. And with Cee, so obviously he's

270
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna have the secondaries to go along with it. He

271
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: had the highest strikeout but I'm rate this past season,

272
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: so that's why they have shown interest in him because

273
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: he fits their profile of what they look for. So

274
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: we'll see, we will see on that. We will see.

275
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: Let's see what you all are saying here in the shad.

276
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: Who do we got here in the chat? We got Brett,

277
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: we got Nick? George? How we doing? Mark Moose? What's

278
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: going on? Jennifer? How we doing? Brett? Hello? Hello, fyb Joe,

279
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: what's going on? How are we doing? Everybody? Welcome, Welcome,

280
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: thank you for joining tonight. And uh, let's kind of

281
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: get going, you know, let's move a little forward here.

282
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: Let's move a little forward. There are definitely more questions

283
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: about the offseason, and the offense got brought up as well. Right,

284
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: I just mentioned that was that was something here for

285
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: this past postseason. The bats came up short. They couldn't

286
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: do anything. When asked the offense in the postseason, he said,

287
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: Greg said, it would be fair to look at some

288
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: of those other teams still competing in the playoffs and

289
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: say that they hit the ball out of the ballpark

290
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: a little more than we do scoring runs. This is

291
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: kind of a zero sum game, right, and it doesn't

292
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: really matter how you score it. But in the postseason,

293
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: a lot of runs come via the home run because

294
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: the pitching is so dominant. So I think that's a consideration. Well,

295
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: all eyes are going to be turning to Kyle Schworber

296
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: and Pete Alonzo. Those are the two big bats. I

297
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: would not be surprised at all of the Red Sox

298
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: ended up with one of them. Now with Schoorber, you

299
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: gotta think with Shoreber, the Phillies, they are absolutely a

300
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: strong contender to keep him around. He's enjoyed his time there.

301
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: He just fits, you know, He's just a good fit there,

302
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: both from a performance standpoint, good ballpark for him, obviously

303
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: we've seen it, and just a clubhouse leader, right. I

304
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: think he just fits well in Philly. I would not

305
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: be surprised at all if he ends up staying there,

306
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: get a long term deal done, whatever it may be.

307
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: You never know, though, money talks right in the Phillies.

308
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: They're down to nothing now, you know, Schwarber. Will he

309
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: be motivated to go elsewhere? I don't know. I think

310
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the day with him, I mean,

311
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, what's it gonna be? You know, is he

312
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: looking for big payday to end his career, good contract

313
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: to end his career? Or is he looking to win

314
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: all the Phillies. They could definitely give him both of

315
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: those things. Obviously, if they come up short against the Dodgers,

316
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: that's gonna sting. There'll be another exit in the division

317
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: round back to back years. So it's gonna be interesting.

318
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: You know, in the Phillies, we've gotten reports over the

319
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: last month or so that they're going to be aggressive.

320
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: I think Bob Nightingale said enough of the hooplo about

321
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: Schwarbur going elsewhere. He's gonna stay with the Phillies. They're

322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: gonna do whatever they can to keep him around. But

323
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: could another team come in, you know, not even just

324
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Could other teams out there maybe come

325
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: in and throw the back and all of a sudden

326
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: start making the Phillies a bit uncomfortable. Well, we'll see,

327
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: but I think because he's been there, it's a good fit.

328
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: I would say it's more likely he ends up staying.

329
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: Would be cool to have him come back to Boston.

330
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: But this is where I have my eyes turning towards

331
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: Peter Alonzo. I think Pete Alonzo is very interesting. He's

332
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: already got the nickname. He's already he just sounds like

333
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: a fan favorite in Boston. Right, he's got the polar

334
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: Bear name. People are gonna love that. People are gonna

335
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: eat that up in Boston. Man, all right, but I mean,

336
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: while we love nicknames and all that, right, the war Pig,

337
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: could you imagine the war Pig and the Polar Bear

338
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: on the same team. I mean, goodness, Granges Man, oh Man,

339
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: all the nicknames. But the performance is what we're gonna

340
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: be looking at. Right, Alonso, obviously we know what he

341
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: brings to the table. He's gonna bring you a lot

342
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: of power from the right side, perfect fed at Famiway Park,

343
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: we have the monster. He is close to a six

344
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 1: hundred slugging in his career at Famiway Park. But another factor, right,

345
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: and I see you in the chat Nick fifteenth in

346
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: home runs this year. Not good. Yeah, the Red Sox,

347
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: they are very middle of the road, and of course,

348
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, you could maybe try to get a

349
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: boost of power, right Bragman obviously ended up fading a

350
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: little bit in the second half, or at least the

351
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: power and the impact bat faded. He was still getting

352
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: on base for the most part, you know, Roman, I

353
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: would imagine he's gonna get a bit more thump. So

354
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see the power still be at

355
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: least as of right now. If you went with the

356
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: status quo heading into the next season, I would I

357
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: would think you're gonna be still at least around the same.

358
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: But that's not gonna cut it right. You need to

359
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: add a little bit more and Alonso is absolutely gonna

360
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: add that. But what he's also going to bring to

361
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: the table is runners in scoring position. This guy was

362
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: very good with runners in scoring position this year. Let me, actually,

363
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: I posted the numbers here today on my Twitter account.

364
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: I still call it Twitter. Is that just me? I'm

365
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: still a Twitter guy? But I posted the numbers here today.

366
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 1: This year with runners in scoring position, Pete Alonso hit

367
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: three h nine with a one point zero three to

368
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: five ops, a one to seventy six WRC, plus fourteen homers,

369
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: and he mostly batted in the third and fourth spots

370
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: in the lineup, where Schwarber he mixed around a little

371
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: bit more right Schwarber, he did bat fourth, He batted

372
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: third a little bit, but he mostly batted second this year.

373
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: That's not really a big deal. But with the Red

374
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: Sox this year, a lot of their issues came in

375
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: the middle. There were twentieth in WRC plus in the

376
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: third and five spots in the lineup, and in those

377
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: spots they were seventeenth and runners in scoring positions. So

378
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: that's where Pete Alonzo. Obviously he's gonna bring the power,

379
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: but he brings that ability to drive in runs and

380
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: come up in big spots. Right, He's good in those

381
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: high leverage situations. And with Alonzo, I think he fits

382
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: in this team pretty well. Like with Schworeber, you gotta

383
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: kind of figure out obviously, you know, you got to

384
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: figure out anyway, what's gonna be happening with Masa. He

385
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: looked good in September. Obviously came up big in game one.

386
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: It's weird with Masa, man, Like I was dead set

387
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: that he was probably gonna be elsewhere in twenty twenty six.

388
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I mean, I think that could

389
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: go either way. The Red Sox they're looking for we

390
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,239
Speaker 1: saw it with Raffi, right. They want flexibility, right, they

391
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: want to have where that team where they can mix

392
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: and match and they can move guys around. With Masa,

393
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: I just can't help. But wonder you know if the

394
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: Red Sox, Yeah, could he play some more outfield. Yeah, sure,

395
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: I mean I would imagine if he ends up sticking

396
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: around next year the arm, it's gonna be further away

397
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: from the surgery that he had. So yeah, I think

398
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: you could play a little bit more in the outfield.

399
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: But is it gonna be enough for what the Red

400
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: Sox are gonna want. I'm just curious about that. I'm

401
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: very curious. But with first base, I think that opens

402
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: up more possibilities right there, right, you gotta figure out

403
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: what's going on with Nathaniel low. I actually saw one

404
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: article today saying he's gonna be a free agent. I'm like, no,

405
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be a free agent. He has another

406
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: year of arbitration, so no, he's in the fold for

407
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: next year. But you know, moves can be made. Obviously,

408
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: do they decide they want to move on whatever it made?

409
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, right Tristan Cossus. This was talked about

410
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: here today as well, and people I noticed this in

411
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: the media, so obvious when some reporters out there, they

412
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: try to get a headline, they try to get like

413
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: a nice clickbaity headline, and the headline here was the

414
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: Red Sox wouldn't commit to Tristan Cassas for twenty twenty

415
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: six at first base. Well, obviously they're not going to

416
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: commit to him, the guy his knee exploded. Of course

417
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: they're not going to commit to him. It's like, come on,

418
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: like I get it, Like I know, but I don't know.

419
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: I don't I don't get that. But Casus, Yeah, I

420
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: mean obviously, I mean, Craig did say he is looking good,

421
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: he's working out, but he mentioned that he's missed a

422
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: lot of time but has also seen what he's capable of.

423
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: So sounded like to me, I mean, there's really no

424
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: rush on anything with Cossas at this point. They're not,

425
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: you know, rushing to get him back into the lineup,

426
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: but they're not rushing to trade him. I mean, it's

427
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: kind of just it is what it is, and you

428
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: just wait for him to come back, right And the

429
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: way it sounded sounds like he's doing really well. So

430
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: we'll see either way. You know, if you're looking at

431
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: a trade, he has no value right now. He has

432
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: no trade value unless if a team like really saw

433
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: some potentially Oh no, he's gonna be good. We think

434
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: we can tap into that bat. I don't know, I

435
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: just don't see how he has any trade value at

436
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: this point. However, this is where I can look at

437
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: Alonso and I think it makes there's a good amount

438
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: of sense in trying to bring him in because he

439
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: can go between first base DH, and you could actually

440
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: argue that maybe DH is probably a better fit for

441
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: him because the defense it's not very good at first base. Now,

442
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: what you could do if you do hang on with

443
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Low and it seemed like he fit in with

444
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: the clubhouse. Obviously he was productive after coming to Boston.

445
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: You gotta remember, with Nathaniel Low, he's a good defender.

446
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna roll your eyes at that because

447
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: of the error that happened in Game three. I know,

448
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: but for the most part in his career he has

449
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: been a good defender. What you could do is Alonso

450
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: he could be that DH and then Nathaniel Low you

451
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: keep his better defense at first base. Alonzo could be

452
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: the DH. Low would be a first baseman versus right handers,

453
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: and then against left handers, Alonso could play first and

454
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: then you just have a right handed hitter against the lefties.

455
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: Right so he kind of has that flexibility and that

456
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: right handed bat where it can actually work in the

457
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: Red Sox favor so whereas if you're just bringing Shoreber,

458
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you already just have like so many lefties

459
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: as it is. Obviously, I wouldn't be upset at all

460
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: if they signed Schorber, but with a longs so you

461
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: can kind of play those matchups a bit more, you know.

462
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: And yeah, obviously you still came with Schworber, but I

463
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: like that you could have that dynamic at first base

464
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: where him and Low can go back and forth if

465
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: you end up keeping Low. And on top of that,

466
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: if you have those guys taking care of first base

467
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six, Casas does not have to rush back.

468
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: I know a lot. I see both sides when it

469
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: comes to keeping Cassis, trading Cassas, whatever it may be,

470
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: whatever it is, you wouldn't have to rush him back, right.

471
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: He can kind of take his time, he can rehab,

472
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: go to Worcester whenever he's ready to play, you know,

473
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: and kind of just build himself back up. Who knows,

474
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: maybe you end up he ends up coming back late

475
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: next year second half kind of does what Christian Campbell did.

476
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: Stays at Triple A for the second half and then

477
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Low he's going to be a free agent after

478
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: this coming year, and then Cossas would be ready for

479
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, and you know him and Alonzo can

480
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: now be the righty lefty taking care of first base

481
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: in DH. So I think there's benefits with Alonzo here

482
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: in a multitude of ways, the platoons. I'm not saying

483
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: he's a platoon hitter, but you can work those righty lefties,

484
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: and then Cossas doesn't have to come back quickly, So

485
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: I think there's benefit. I wouldn't love to see Pete

486
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: Alonzo at Fmway Park, but everybody on, Nesson, I do

487
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: have to wrap it up right there. If you want

488
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: to see the rest of the comments. We do have

489
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: a few more things to dive into here. Come on

490
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: over to YouTube Monster Territory and see what else I

491
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: gotta say. But nesson, viewers, thank you for watching here tonight,

492
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: and we'll be bad back a couple of days. A

493
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: couple of days. I'm looking at Monday Wednesday Friday for

494
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: this coming week, probably for the next few weeks, Monday

495
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: Wednesday Friday until the postseason's over, and then at that

496
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: point things open up a little bit more. But I'll

497
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: be back here Wednesday, unless we have something breaking tomorrow,

498
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: which I don't imagine it will, but we'll see a

499
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: Wednesday most likely. But on Neesson, thank you and we'll

500
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: see you next time. So let's get to the rest

501
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: of this. Yeah, Peel Alonso, I would love it makes

502
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: perfect sense. And another interesting thing about Alonso. Let me

503
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: actually pull this up here and on stat cast, I

504
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: always take a look at the expected home runs, especially

505
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: at Feenway Park, because you gotta remember with Fenway, the

506
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: monster comes into play, right. But what's actually encouraging to

507
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: me because you'll see a lot of time where a

508
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: guy will have a lot of home runs, but then

509
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: you look at the expected home runs for Famway Park

510
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: and they actually go down because of the monster, right,

511
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: because of the obviously the height of the monster ends up,

512
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, going off the wall instead of over it.

513
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: But what's encouraging is that his thirty eight home runs

514
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: this year would still be an expected thirty seven at

515
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: Femway Park. I don't know that might again, this might

516
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: sound obvious, but there are players that where their expected

517
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: home runs go way down at Famway Park. But that

518
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: to me get a little bit more of a little

519
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: bit more of a long h angle in there, get

520
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: a bit more loft, and I mean, this guy can

521
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: maybe be a forty five fifty home or bad at

522
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: Famway Park. And I think for someone like Pete Alonzo

523
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: who loves to hit dingers, I mean, obviously the money

524
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: is going to be the big thing, but you got

525
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: to think with him, he might be he might find

526
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: the possibility of playing at Fenway Park quite intriguing. Obviously,

527
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: he's been in the North East his whole career playing

528
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: with the Mets, so he knows the environment obviously, so

529
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: I could see the Red Sox being intriguing for him

530
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: if they are interested. Again, we haven't even seen any

531
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: rapport if they plan on making a run or anything.

532
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: I think if there is one, it's probably more speculation.

533
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: It sounds obvious, But you gotta wonder with Alonso, I mean,

534
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: what's the contract that he's gonna look for. I think

535
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: personally Boris is probably gonna look at least in the

536
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty million dollar range. He's a first baseman.

537
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: He's about to turn thirty one, so but you think

538
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: for maybe Alonso too, maybe Famway Park. His bat would

539
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: actually age pretty well there because obviously the right handed power,

540
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: so you know that could be a good place for

541
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: him to go again. You kind of talk about that

542
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: with Bregman, how his swing fit perfectly with Alonzo. Let's

543
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: actually take a look here when it came to his

544
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: pull percentage, looking at the bat at ball data and uh,

545
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: he pulled. We're in his career. Let's actually go to

546
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:25,959
Speaker 1: his career splits. In his career he has pulled. Uh,

547
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: I am losing it. I can't find it. I swear

548
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: I just had it. Hold on one second, I just

549
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: had this. I see this here. Well, in his career

550
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: it looks okay. I think I'm seeing the fly ball

551
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: twenty eight percent poll and then he's uh forty six

552
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: percent to center and then apo sixty six percent with

553
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: his flyballs. But you know, when it comes to him,

554
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: I uh, I mean, I think it's obvious. And I

555
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: also we got this too, his splits. When he pulls,

556
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: he has a slugging of seven ninety three an ops

557
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: of eleven forty four. So yeah, I mean, obviously you

558
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: all know he would fit a family park, but the

559
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: numbers back that up as well. I would like Alonso,

560
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: I think it would make a lot of sense, just

561
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: works in so many ways. Now when it comes to

562
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: the rotation, let's talky about the rotation. Man, I know

563
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: already touched on it a little bit. They need to

564
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: get a number two. That's very obvious. They need to

565
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: do that. I can't help, but wonder, though, I'll say

566
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: it one more time. I can't help, but wonder if

567
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: they had their shot at Brian at the deadline, and

568
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: maybe is it gonna end up being one of those

569
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: situations where maybe you should have done it at the deadline,

570
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: and then another team is gonna swoop in in the

571
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: off season right there, and they're gonna end up missing

572
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: their chance. I hope not, because I think he's perfect here.

573
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: He just fits that perfect number two perfectly. And I

574
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: almost kind of wonder, I don't know, I don't know.

575
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: I think Joe Ryan, I think he seems for the

576
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: most part to be a pretty calm and collected guy

577
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: when he's on the mound and Dylan Cees, you know,

578
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: we saw a couple of times or a few times

579
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: actually this off season or this past season where you know,

580
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: he got lit up a little bit, and I wonder

581
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: how he would do in Boston. You know, I wonder

582
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: if that's something that would come into play when it

583
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: comes to signing him. I don't know. I just kind

584
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: of wonder about that because I always think of the

585
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: personality with a guy, right, how are they are they

586
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: gonna fit, you know, in a big market like the Reds,

587
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: like Boston here, we'll see. I don't know. Joe, Ryan

588
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: kind of gives me those vibes where I think you

589
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: would handle it pretty well, see something not quite quite sure.

590
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Cease would not handle it, but it's

591
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 1: a factor, you know, something to think about. Either one

592
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: of those guys I think would be good. Sandy I

593
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: think would make a lot of sense as well. We'll

594
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: see how it goes. But when it comes to a trade,

595
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: We've talked about this a million times, but you have

596
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: a couple of major league guys ing Jaron, Duran and Willier.

597
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: You got some pro and then obviously you know you

598
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: got some good pitching prospects at the top of your system.

599
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: I would hate to part with totally or early, but

600
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: you can't help a wonder if one of those guys

601
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: might have to be on the table. I don't know,

602
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, you got a lot of other good position

603
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: player prospects as well. Besides, you know, Willi're and Duran

604
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: at the major league level, you got guys like Arius

605
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: down there, the password Jo Stinson, he's there. I wonder

606
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 1: if he's still gonna be with the Red Sox organization

607
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: next offseason. I think he could be a perfect trade candidate. No,

608
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see. You know, even someone like Mikey

609
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: Romero and the Red Sox have had their issues at

610
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: second base. That's another thing they got. That's something else

611
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 1: Craig touched on as well when it came to the defense.

612
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, could Mikey Romero end up having a

613
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: path at some point, I'm not sure, but they have

614
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: guys they can work out a deal. Speaking of Duran

615
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: and Willier, that was also something that they touched on.

616
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: Was asked about the four outfielders right the surplus of outfielders,

617
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: Craig simply said, you know, well, Corus said that, you know,

618
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: he can make it work. He'll make it work whatever

619
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 1: they give him. And Craig also touched on the fact

620
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: that ended up helping them out, you know, in the

621
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: second half, because Roman going down. But he did emphasize

622
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: that they need to do what's best for twenty twenty six,

623
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: and everything is on the table. That kind of tells me,

624
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,479
Speaker 1: I'm also there's also another player I'm gonna I'm gonna

625
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: talk about in a little bit. He's gonna be part

626
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: of this conversation as well. I'll bring him up in

627
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: a minute. But man, you gotta think one of those

628
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: guys is gonna get moved. You know, they have good value,

629
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: years of control, they're talented players, They're the perfect guys

630
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: that you could look to move. I would imagine it

631
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: would be Duran over Willier at this point because you know,

632
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: and that's another thing, you know, kind of reading between

633
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: the lines the Red Sox talking about adding power. Willier

634
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: is gonna give you more of that power.

635
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 2: You know.

636
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: Duran, you know he'll get into it, you know, here

637
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: and there, but he's not really obviously he's not that

638
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: big power threat. So and obviously he struggled in that

639
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: series against the Yankees. That kind of tells me maybe

640
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: Duran's on the table again. I think you maybe could

641
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: figure out something for Ryan or Sandy neither or I'm

642
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: looking at the Pagres and the Dodgers out west. The

643
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: Padres maybe not so much I would actually look for

644
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: the Pores more so in the free agent market. They've

645
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: gotten their ownership situation figured out. They haven't spent really

646
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: a ton in the last couple of years. They brought

647
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: in Poveda last year, but they don't have a lot

648
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: really to trade right now. So I think the Pares

649
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: might look to free agency. I don't know if they

650
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: would be able to pull off a deal for Duran.

651
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: The Dodgers, I think could be interesting. Confordo is gonna

652
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: be a free agent. What's gonna happen with Kyle Tucker.

653
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: They have been linked with him. Stephen Kwan, they were

654
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: linked with him at the deadline, So the Dodgers, that

655
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: think could be intriguing. The Mariners. I wonder about the Mariners.

656
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: We always talk about the pitching, right We'll see what

657
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: ends up happening with the Mariners. They have not wanted

658
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: to give up any of their pictures in the last

659
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: couple of years. What they could do is you could

660
00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: move Randy Roseoran in a DH and then Duran. He

661
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: could be your left fielder, So maybe something could be

662
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: had there. The Reds need bats. I think Duran could

663
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: actually be pretty interesting at Great American Ballpark. They got guys, right,

664
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: they got some guys there, you know, Andrew Abbott, Nicolodolo.

665
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: I wonder if that could be a possible avenue the Royals,

666
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: the Pirates. I mean, I'm not sure what would be

667
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: very intriguing for the Red Sox to get back. I

668
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: don't know. You're probably not getting Bubback Schandler back for

669
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: the Pirates, that's probably a no. But they need bats, right,

670
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of ways for the Red Sox

671
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: to go here when it comes to moving either of

672
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: those guys. So, like I always say, we're just gonna

673
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: have to wait and see before I go any further. Everybody,

674
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot here about all the comments so far,

675
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: but we do have a couple of sponsors tonight helping

676
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: fund the show, keeping the lights on. Let's go talk

677
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: about one of them, ft fam.

678
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 4: Another reason why you should love Arena Club is the

679
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 4: grading system. So you recently pulled a slab pack and

680
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 4: then you said, hey, it's not graded. Great it for me.

681
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 4: They gave you an eight point five out of ten

682
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 4: on your Auto whitey Ford card, and then they show

683
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 4: you all the details of the grading system. It's very

684
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 4: interactive within the app, and then you're done. If you

685
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 4: want to sell the card or you want to know

686
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 4: what it's worth.

687
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: You've got it.

688
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 2: It's like getting taken a school on cards. And I

689
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: think that's the coolest part of it. If you're young

690
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 2: or old, you understand, Hey, this is how it gets

691
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 2: deciphered all the way through. It shows you the numbers

692
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 2: and how they went through it. I think that's the

693
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 2: coolest part about this whole thing. And then you can

694
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 2: keep it traded or sell it or whatever you want.

695
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 4: And it's so much more efficient to do this through

696
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 4: Arena Club. Whether you're ripping a pack, there's the slab packs,

697
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 4: buying a card, selling a card, grading a card, it's

698
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 4: all there for you. We talk about it all season long.

703
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's get to it here. A couple of things

704
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: here in the chat, Duran, with his speed not going anywhere,

705
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: says Mason, Well again, you know, kind of gotta touch

706
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: on the you know again, they were emphasizing the power

707
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: at the press conference there today, and Roman's gonna be

708
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: your leadoff guy. So is Duran gonna fit the bill

709
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: when it comes to what they're looking for in the

710
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: middle of the order? He could, right, I mean, I

711
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: could definitely see a world where Durant stays. Of course,

712
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: it's just gonna come down to what are the Red

713
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: Sox in vision for twenty twenty six. I don't know.

714
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: A couple of other things. Carlos Nirvias he had mnisk

715
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 1: or he's going to have meniscus surgery. He's been dealing

716
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: with a bum knee, and uh, you kind of saw

717
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: Norvas there in the second half. Wasn't looking amazing, you know,

718
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: he had a you know, yeah, a couple of dingers right,

719
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: came up in some spots, but you could tell he

720
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: wasn't looking the same as what he did in the

721
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:09,439
Speaker 1: first half.

722
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 3: Right.

723
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: Of course, you know his rookie season first year, I'll

724
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: a lot of wear and tear. But that's something to

725
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: keep an eye on, right, A meniscous issue, right for

726
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 1: a catcher at this point, and he's on the younger side.

727
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: I wonder if that could be a bit of an

728
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: issue moving forward, you know, like something that could end

729
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: up just being just a pain in the butt. You know,

730
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: got to keep an eye on that, especially for a

731
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,720
Speaker 1: younger catcher. I hope that ends up not being an issue.

732
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: But you wonder if maybe the Red Sox could another

733
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: option at catcher, not to replace their bias, but to

734
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: go with him. You know, like, is Connor Wong gonna

735
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: be the guy their other catcher. I know conn Or

736
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: Long's He's very good to have behind the scenes, right,

737
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: He's good with the pitching staff. I don't know. I

738
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: wonder if the Red Sox will look for more production

739
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: to help out with nervas. That could be something to

740
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: pay attention to.

741
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 3: I don't know.

742
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, just making sure I'm not missing anything.

743
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: He was asking about Bregmanon's story, but he's not really

744
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: gonna be able to say much on that. He basically said,

745
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, they have their own decisions to make because

746
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 1: they have the opt outs. He did say bregman seemed

747
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: to love his time in Boston. You've all heard me

748
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: a million times. I think he's gonna end up staying.

749
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: If he ends up going elsewhere, then I'm gonna have

750
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: to eat my words a lot. But it's possible, right,

751
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: Anything's possible. But we all saw it. It just seemed

752
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: to be a good fit. I think they'll eventually come

753
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: to terms on something. Story the more I think about it,

754
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: I have left open the possibility that he could opt out.

755
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: I do wonder though, I just wonder if his agent

756
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: would want to risk it. Whereas if they stay in

757
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: Boston for a couple more years, have a couple more

758
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: good seasons, then you can go out. He's gonna be,

759
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, close to thirty five when he goes back

760
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: out of free agency in a couple of years. But

761
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: now that he's healthy, he's got a full year of

762
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: health under his belt, could that be you know something

763
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: where he probably needs to build up a bit more

764
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: right to prove to other teams that you know, he's

765
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: not gonna get hurt all the time. So I think

766
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: there's a good chance he ends up staying. It is

767
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: still a good amount of money left right a couple

768
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: of years at fifty I have speculated about, well, if

769
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: if his him and his agent feel like they could

770
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: get a three or four year deal, then maybe, But

771
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 1: is it going to be enough to draw him away

772
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: from two years fifty to stay with the Red Sox.

773
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's also like Bragman, he's also a

774
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: good fit. Obviously he was good this year. Besides May

775
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: one of the clubhouse leaders. I think it makes a

776
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: lot of sense for Story to stay with me. I'm

777
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: always gonna speculate about a whole bunch of possibilities, right,

778
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: You never know what could happen, So that's why I

779
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: always leave the door open for every possibility. The more

780
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: I think about it, I feel like Stories probably just

781
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna opt back in. He'll stay. We'll see. But yeah,

782
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: he couldn't really talk much about those guys. I think

783
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: that's pretty much all the important things. Talked about power,

784
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: talked about, beefing up the rotation. Those are the important things.

785
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: So we know what is on the agenda for this offseason.

786
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: Let's see what they end up doing. So let's get

787
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: to the p Abraham article. And I found this interesting.

788
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: I found this interesting. It's it sounded more like speculation

789
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: from Pete Abraham. Really, I mean, that's kind of the

790
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: way I read it. Didn't sound like there was any

791
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: sort of a source going into anything he said. Here,

792
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: Craig Breslo did what was necessary last winner and traded

793
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: four of the Red sox best prospects to the White

794
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: Sox to land left hander Garrett Crochet. It was a

795
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: franchise altering transaction, one that signaled the Red Sox were

796
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: back in the business of contending after three seasons of rebuilding.

797
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: Then he goes on to say, but Breslo should remain

798
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: bold even after getting back to the postseason. He said here,

799
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: outside of Crochet and Roman Anthony, every player in the

800
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: organization should be on the table to swing trades that

801
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: would improve the rotation and add power to the lineup.

802
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: Add Carlos Nirvias to that list, because it's difficult to

803
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: find a good defensive texture who can also add to

804
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: the offense. He talked about a Roldisk Chapman probably not

805
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: going anywhere because they just signed him. So then he

806
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: goes on to name these guys, will you or bra you,

807
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: Jan Duran, Marcella Meyer, Sadam Raphaela cannot be untouchable. The

808
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: same has to be true of Connolly, Early Peyton, Totley

809
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: and any other young picture. If it means bringing back

810
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: a legit number two with strikeout stuff and the ability

811
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 1: to work deep into games. So I'm gonna disagree with

812
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 1: Sadam right there. No, Saydan is, in my opinion, pretty

813
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 1: much untouchable. You don't move him, just like he said

814
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: with Nervaas. It's also hard to find a good defensive

815
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: center fielder that can also contribute to the lineup up

816
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: the middle. Defense is very valued. Sadan is arguably the

817
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: best center fielder in all of Major League Baseball. You

818
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: don't just trade that away, right and as along with

819
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: what he was able to do in clutch spots. So

820
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: I disagree with Abraham there. However, yes, of course, William

821
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 1: Jared he mentioned, you know, the prospects, even Connolly early Peyton. Totally.

822
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: I find the Marcelo Meyer one to be intriguing. And

823
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm gonna be honest

824
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: with all of you. And some people they, uh, they

825
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: might think I'm crazy for saying this, but I do

826
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: wonder if he could maybe come up and talks. And

827
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: the only reason I wonder about that is because I've

828
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: been speculating about this. I'm like, well, what's gonna happen

829
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: with Christian Campbell? I mean, if story opts back in

830
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: right obviously Bregman two that that also comes into play,

831
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: But if story ends up coming back, I don't know.

832
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: I just wonder, like, you know, yes, I would like

833
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: to have Marcello Meyer at second base. I think it

834
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: would be perfect there because they do need to improve

835
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: the defense there. But I just wonder what happens with Campbell.

836
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 1: I know they're high on him. Obviously, they signed him

837
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: to a long term deal. They see him more so

838
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: as a second baseman moving forward. I think you could

839
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: also maybe say like left field possibly, but that's probably it,

840
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, And I just wonder with Meyer, I wonder

841
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: if he could be a possibility, you know. I think

842
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: back to two thousand and five Hanley Ramirez. They called

843
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: him up for a couple of games at the end

844
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: of the season. Meyer's different obviously got called up way earlier,

845
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: but I just wonder about that. They ended up moving

846
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: Hanley top shortstop prospect in the game at the time.

847
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: They ended up moving in for Josh Beckett. You know,

848
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: that's different. He's an ace. They're looking for a two here.

849
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: You gotta remember they you know, they still had Shilling

850
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: at the time too, you know. But in this I

851
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: just wonder about Meyer. You know, yes he is. He

852
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: would be great defense there. But I just wonder, you know,

853
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: and then they also got these other guys coming up.

854
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: I already mentioned Mikey Romero, Franklin Ariius had another good

855
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: season this year. He's good defensively, brings speed and Nick

856
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: I see in the chat Meyer is better defensively, And

857
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: that's another thing to think about as well. Here's the

858
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: problem with that though, and I agree the numbers do

859
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: say Trevor's story is he was not good defensively. You

860
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: more so saw the problems in September, and that's where

861
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: I wonder if maybe some fatigue. He hadn't played a

862
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: full season in what was it like three years, you know,

863
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: so I just wonder, you know, would they prefer to

864
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: go that right where that rat where Marcella Meyer plays

865
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: short You gotta remember, though, there's a human aspect to it,

866
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: and there's seniority there, right how many obviously we saw

867
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter play shortstop for the Yankees for years. It

868
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: was very clear that Derek Jeter was not a good

869
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: defensive shortstop, but he ended up saying a shortstop for

870
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: his whole career. You know, It's kind of just one

871
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: of those things. I agree, numbers wise, Trevor Story probably

872
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: needs to play second base, But will they make that move,

873
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: will they actually do it. I think if they went

874
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: to him and said, hey, you know, we're kind of

875
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: looking at the numbers, you know, might be a better

876
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: fit at second base, would you want to do it?

877
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:31,919
Speaker 1: I think he would be open to it. So again,

878
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: there's more things that come into play that he can't

879
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: just make the switch. There has to be a conversation,

880
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: you know. I think Story, though, if he was approached

881
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: with the ideas a team player, I think he would

882
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: do whatever the team wanted him to do, right, So

883
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about that. And yeah, I agree

884
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: Marcella Meyer shortstop. Yeah absolutely, I'm not talking about what

885
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: I want. I'm more talking about what I wonder, what

886
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: the Red Sox could do, how they think about it.

887
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,800
Speaker 1: If Meyer comes up in a trade to acquire someone

888
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: like Joe Ryan, if the Twins are dead set on

889
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: getting him, do you do it? I don't know. I

890
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: just don't know what the Red Sox think with that.

891
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: We'll see, But uh, I do find that I do

892
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: find his name here listed very intriguing.

893
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 2: You know.

894
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: Another thing with Meyer too. Another thing with Meyer, and

895
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: again not a knock on him. However, since coming into

896
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: the Red Sox organization after that draft, he's had a

897
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: hard time staying healthy. That's something where he has got

898
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 1: to figure that out to improve that durability. Last year

899
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: he had the back issue. This year it was the

900
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 1: wrist a couple of years ago something or a few

901
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: years ago, I can't remember what it was. But he's

902
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 1: had durability issues. And I wonder, again, not what I

903
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: want if it were me, I'd like to keep Marcelo

904
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: Meyer here, but I wonder what their perspective is the

905
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: fact that he hasn't been able to stay healthy they

906
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,720
Speaker 1: needed to. If a team out there sees potential with Meyer,

907
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: like we all do, then who knows, maybe that can

908
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 1: end up being something. And it's not like the Red

909
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: Sox don't have any other any other middle infielders in

910
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:28,720
Speaker 1: their system. I mean they got again Romero, Aureus Campbell,

911
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: you know. So something to think about. And that's again,

912
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go back to the comment that Breslo made,

913
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 1: all options need to be on the table. Can't help,

914
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: but wonder could even a guy like Marcelo Meyer be

915
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: included in talks. We'll see, we'll see, But I believe

916
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: we have a couple of voicemails. I'm gonna get to

917
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 1: those in just a little bit. I already touched on

918
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: the fine so you know, let me touch on the

919
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: fine Son article here really quick. Will Bregman opt out

920
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: or return to the Red Sox? This is a few

921
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: days ago. He pretty much said in this article it's

922
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,879
Speaker 1: a guarantee he's gonna opt out, and yeah, I think

923
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 1: he should. I think he should opt out, right, we

924
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: all saw the way he was playing before he went

925
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: down with the quad injury. I think there's a chance

926
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: he could still opt in, but it's probably more likely

927
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: he wants to get a long term deal. Again, I

928
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen with the Red Sox. I'll eat

929
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: my words if he ends up going elsewhere, but I

930
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: feel confident with that. I'd be stunned if he went somewhere,

931
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: to be honest, you know, because I also think about

932
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: it too, with the quad injury, does that actually work

933
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: in the Red Sox favor? Would a team like the Tigers,

934
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: who were aggressive for him last offseason, would they make

935
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: the same offer, especially after the quad injury and it

936
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: did affect his performance at the second half. I don't know.

937
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 1: I don't think the Tigers would be as aggressive as

938
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: they were last offseason. I don't know. The Yankees probably not,

939
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: and they got Ryan McMahon. The Mariners, I mean, they're

940
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:15,720
Speaker 1: gonna be looking for help, but they don't really spend.

941
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: The Cubs, you know, Matt Schaugs just had his first

942
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: full year, So I don't know. I feel like in

943
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 1: the end this probably works out in the Red Sox

944
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: favor So that's just me. I think he stays, but

945
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: that is something fine Son talked about. Before we do

946
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: get to I'm gonna check the voicemails here. We do

972
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: the voicemails. Who do we get here?

973
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 2: So?

974
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 3: I have a question, what do you think the chances

975
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 3: are that the Red Sox do like a Garrett crocheting

976
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 3: where they wait too at the trade deadline instead of

977
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 3: getting him at the trade or Joe Ryant, it's the

978
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 3: player and talking about instead of getting him at the

979
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 3: trade deadline, they went to the offseason because I know

980
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 3: the White Sox wanted Roman Anthony at the trade deadline

981
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 3: and we were like, no, that's not going to happen.

982
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 3: So we waited, and we still gave up a good

983
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 3: prospect in Kyle Teal, but instead it's better than Roman Anthony.

984
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,720
Speaker 3: I know, I'm heard. I thought that the Red Sox

985
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 3: talked about giving up like a pay and totally, what

986
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 3: do you think instead of like later on, like in

987
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 3: the off season, they give like a Brandon Clark or

988
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 3: a or a Mikey Romero. Just just think of your thoughts.

989
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thank you for the voice mail. Again, it's

990
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: very similar, right with Crochet. Happened a couple of years ago,

991
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: right the White Sox, they were asking for the moon,

992
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: they were trying to get a king's ransom, and no one,

993
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: no one took their bluff, right, no one fell for it.

994
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: So this time around, now that you have more time, obviously,

995
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: here's the thinking about a deadline. And I know it's

996
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 1: easy to us it all sounds easy, just be like, oh,

997
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: come on, trade this guy, this guy, this guy, get

998
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:09,800
Speaker 1: a deal done by a baking by a boom. No,

999
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: it's the deadline. You got twenty nine other teams making

1000
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: phone calls, you know, busy phone lines, right, it's just

1001
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: a pain in the butt, right, the Twins, right, that

1002
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: you got to think about from the Twins too, And

1003
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: we look at all the moves they made at the deadline.

1004
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: They were a busy team that day. And Joe Ryan,

1005
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: it was gonna cost a lot to get him. There's

1006
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,439
Speaker 1: a lot of players involved with that. It's just hard

1007
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: to get a deal done like that at the deadline.

1008
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: It can be done, but it's difficult when there's so

1009
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: much going on the off season. You just have more time.

1010
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: And that's where I wonder that didn't seem to be

1011
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: a situation. At least maybe we ended up getting a

1012
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: report about the Ryan talks. But I don't know, I

1013
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: didn't I haven't seen anything yet saying they were looking

1014
00:57:55,680 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: for Roman and Marcello and I don't know. I think

1015
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: Peyton totally had come up in those conversations. But now

1016
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: that you just saw what Connolly early did, I mean,

1017
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: could the Twins look at him and be like, oh yeah.

1018
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: I could see the Twins wanting to get back pitching.

1019
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just a natural thing. You would want

1020
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,919
Speaker 1: to get back and return a good pitching prospect. Could

1021
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,439
Speaker 1: it end up being Totally or Early have to go back.

1022
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean that's also another thing, like

1023
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 1: obviously we were so excited about Totally coming up this year.

1024
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: He had an amazing year in the minors this year

1025
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: Minor League Pitcher of the Year. But you wonder with

1026
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: how Early operated, I don't know, Like, again, if you

1027
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: have to give up one of those guys, if the

1028
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: Twins were dead set they needed Peyton Totally, and with

1029
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: how Early performed, do the Red Sox mayby say, man,

1030
00:58:56,080 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: well Early did really well, all right, we can get

1031
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: rid of Totally.

1032
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 3: You know.

1033
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: Again, I'm just wondering if that's how they can think.

1034
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: But then I could also see the Red Sox looking

1035
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: at Totally the big fastball, have a good offseason, work

1036
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 1: on the secondaries, and then they see more projection with Totally.

1037
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: I wonder do they see a higher ceiling with him.

1038
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting. I wouldn't be surprised that one

1039
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: of those guys got moved. Early was so good, now, Cora.

1040
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: Cora also talked about this. He talked about, let me

1041
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:40,959
Speaker 1: find the quote he talked about Early. I can't find

1042
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: it now. Of course I close out of it. Well anyway,

1043
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 1: I can't find the quote. But Cora, he basically was

1044
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 1: giving Early a ton of praise for, you know, pitching

1045
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: in Yankee Stadium, in that environment in the postseason. You know,

1046
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: he said he sees Early being a big contributor for NEX.

1047
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: So I wonder, you know, I just wonder what they do.

1048
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 1: But getting back to the voicemail, I mean, yeah, I

1049
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: could see one of those guys. I think, you know,

1050
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned Brandon Clark. I think he could be on

1051
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: the table. Mikey Romero. I could see him being on

1052
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: the table. I could see really anyone in that farm

1053
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:24,919
Speaker 1: system being on the table. I really could at this point.

1054
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: You know, but we'll see. But I think that's a

1055
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 1: good comparison that you made where the Crochet talks a

1056
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. You know, could you just come

1057
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: back to them, Yeah, I think you can if you've

1058
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: already started that communication. That's why I think of Joe

1059
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Trade is a very real possibility, but you have

1060
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: to leave open the fact that other teams can call

1061
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: to Right, and a team like the Mets, they're gonna

1062
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: look to add pitching. I think this offseason we had

1063
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: a couple of text messages. Let me take a look,

1064
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: let me take a look. Hi, Robbie, I hope you're

1065
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: doing well. You as well, Just curious. I don't have

1066
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: access to BTV. What do he sees and updated Joe

1067
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: Ryan package with the off season upon us. I do

1068
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be similar to what you gave up

1069
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: for Crochets two more years of control. I think Crochet

1070
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: probably ends up being a bit more expensive. But then again,

1071
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: you know he was coming off the Tommy Johns so

1072
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: a factor in Joe Ryan's A two. Crochet was coming

1073
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: off the surgery. You know he looked good obviously that year,

1074
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: but still it was something to think about. I think

1075
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: they end up being around the same personally. I think

1076
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a four for one, maybe a five

1077
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: for one, depending on the prospects. That's what I think

1078
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: I think you're I do think one of those got Peyton,

1079
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,479
Speaker 1: Totley or early would have to go back. I would

1080
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: just imagine Right and then. You know, we just talked

1081
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: about Brandon Clark a second ago. I mean, would the

1082
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: Red Sox actually send back like Kyson Witherspoon, I don't know.

1083
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: You know, we just saw it last year Brady Montgomery, right,

1084
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: he was included in the Crochet trade. Who was just drafted?

1085
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: Do you send back Tyson Witherspoon your first round pick?

1086
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1087
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 1: That's a guy. If he doesn't, I don't expect he's

1088
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna get moved. But that's a guy to look out

1089
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: for for next year, right. I just think any of

1090
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: these guys could be on the table totally. I don't know.

1091
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 1: I feel like they're very high on him. I mean,

1092
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: I think that's obvious. I don't know. Man, Like Craig said, though,

1093
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: everything has to be on the table. We had a

1094
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: couple more here, So I have a.

1095
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 3: Question, what do you think the chances are that the

1096
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 3: Red Sox do like a Garrett Crochet.

1097
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,439
Speaker 1: I'd love to listen to the voicemail again, but I can't.

1098
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: We don't got enough time. But uh, looking at where

1099
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: did my voicemails go?

1100
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 3: Here?

1101
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 2: We go?

1102
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Do one more here? Hi, Robbie. I was wondering if

1103
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: b did want to improve this team at the trade

1104
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 1: deadline due to the twenty four deadline. Also, I will

1105
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: see if Breslow also, I will see if Breslow will

1106
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: be focused more on the lineup or the rotation. Could

1107
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: we see a trade for McKenzie Gore. Oh that's you know,

1108
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: that's actually an interesting little little factor there, Paul Tabonni

1109
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: going to the Nationals m little Mackenzie Gore. I don't know.

1110
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: I think to Bonnie, similar situation than with what we

1111
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: saw with Breslow in twenty twenty four. Remember they didn't

1112
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: really do all that much. They brought in Gielito. I

1113
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: think this is going to be an evaluation year for

1114
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: the Nationals. I mean, maybe they could get aggressive. I mean,

1115
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: maybe he comes into the fold and says, all right,

1116
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: we need to make these moves. But usually when you

1117
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: see a guy get hired, they tend not to go

1118
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: crazy in the beginning, right, They tend to kind of

1119
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: feel things out. I got to think about, you know,

1120
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: what they have to do to improve the organization as

1121
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: a whole. So I don't know, would he trade away

1122
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: mackenzie Gore right away? I mean maybe, you know, right

1123
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 1: you saw hein Bloom come into the fold and they

1124
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 1: had to trade away Mookie. But with Gore, he's further

1125
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: away from free agency, but his value is high. So

1126
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just wonder what their approach is

1127
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,919
Speaker 1: going to be. I think it's probably not likely Gore

1128
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: gets moved. It's just my thinking. I think if anything,

1129
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: they try to keep things intact and they try to

1130
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: make a few moves to add to the roster. We'll see.

1131
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 1: But that's an interesting perspective. One more here and then

1132
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna wrap things up. If you could make any

1133
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: deal this offseason, trade or free agency, what would it be?

1134
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: If free agency say the years and the money, and

1135
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: if trade say the trade deal. You know that's interesting.

1136
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: I actually I wonder what is more important. Is it

1137
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: a number two in the rotation or is it a

1138
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: middle of the order bat I think that's really I

1139
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:18,919
Speaker 1: think that's a really good debate. I think most people

1140
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: will say both. But if you had to pick one,

1141
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I go by the old

1142
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: saying pitching wins championships, pitching and defense, but man, you

1143
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: really need another guy in the middle of that order.

1144
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: That's tough. I think you can see an argument for

1145
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: both sides, because I think on the you know, you

1146
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 1: could you could argue that for the lineup, you do

1147
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:50,959
Speaker 1: have good bats, but are any of those bats gonna

1148
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: bring you good pop in the middle of the middle

1149
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: of that lineup. And on the pitching side of things, well,

1150
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, you just saw what early did. Totally showed

1151
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 1: some promise. You have depth. But where would you like

1152
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: to really plug and play someone. I'd probably lean towards

1153
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 1: the two, honestly, and then you just try to figure

1154
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: it out with the basket. I think both is the answer.

1155
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: You need to do something both spots, right, But we'll

1156
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 1: see bright. What do I think about Michael King? I

1157
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like King ends up staying with

1158
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: the Padres. He got hurt this year. He had a

1159
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 1: couple of different injuries. It's probably not a great year

1160
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: for him to go back out into the market. You know,

1161
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: just stay in San Diego for another year, boost your

1162
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: value back up, and then go back out to the

1163
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: offseason next year. That's the way I see it. So everybody,

1164
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap it up right there. We have been

1165
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: here long enough for tonight. We had a lot to

1166
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: dive into here tonight. We had a lot of comments,

1167
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 1: a lot of possibilities to talk about Anthony. What about

1168
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 1: Rangers Suarez? You know, here's the thing I can't. I

1169
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I want the Red Sox to go get

1170
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 1: like a good righty. You know, I don't want to

1171
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: have like all these lefties. You got Crochet totally early.

1172
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 1: You know what's gonna happen with those guys. You know,

1173
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 1: I want to just get a good righty, you know

1174
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: what I mean. I don't know. I don't like, I

1175
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: don't want to have too many lefties any here. Rangers Suarez,

1176
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't be upset if they got him.

1177
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: But I think personally for me, i'd rather get And

1178
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: also another thing too, I'd rather get more of a

1179
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 1: swing and miss kind of a guy. Right. You do

1180
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: need that at the top. You need that. Ryan is

1181
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: gonna give you a bit more, you know Suarez. What

1182
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: was Suarez this year? I believe he was in like

1183
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: the eights or the nines. Yeah, it was at eight

1184
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: and a half eight point six per nine, whereas with

1185
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: Ryan he was a little over ten per nine. Yeah,

1186
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 1: So I'd prefer Ryan. You know, Sandy has shown that

1187
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: swinging miscibility and the asked, he would actually be lower

1188
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: as of right now compared to Ranger Suarez. But with Sandy,

1189
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 1: I think he's on the uppity up had a good

1190
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: second half. I don't know. I think for me, Joe

1191
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 1: Ryan would be the guy Dylan cease maybe depending on

1192
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: what the contract would be. That's just what I think.

1193
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: So and Christopher Robbie, do you see us doing anything

1194
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: on the reliever market? I think they will, right. I

1195
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: believe Justin Wilson was only on a one year deal, right, Yeah,

1196
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 1: he's only on a one year deal. So did they

1197
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 1: bring him back? Did they go for another lefty, Steven Mattz.

1198
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna end up probably going elsewhere. They

1199
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: just brought him into fortify the bullpen.

1200
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1201
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see, but yeah, I would expect

1202
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 1: them to look at something to the bullpen as well.

1203
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 1: I'm out of here, everybody, Thank you for watching here tonight.

1204
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: We'll probably be back here Wednesday. Unlet's something happens tomorrow.

1205
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:03,240
