Hope everybody is doing 5 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 3: just great out there. 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 4: We're going to try to get everybody's minds off the 7 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 4: Eagles game on Sunday. It's been forty it's been about 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 4: forty eight hours since, uh, since that one. 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 2: Ruben, you were angry tweeting during the game. 10 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 5: Well, it was a disappointing effort, man, I mean they 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 5: were blowing them out. I mean that that was almost 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 5: an unacceptable loss, almost unacceptable. 13 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 6: It was crazy. 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 4: I mean they're up to twenty one nothing, and then we 15 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 4: have stuff going out of our house and also my 16 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 4: wife coming to ouh. 17 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: She goes, what happened exactly? 18 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 6: The Cowboys happened. The Eagles did not twenty one twenty one. 19 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 6: It was absolutely wise. 20 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 2: First half. 21 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 5: He played two quarters and a half or one quarter 22 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 5: and a half nicely. 23 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 6: Yes, everything else. 24 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, as Ruben would say, well, let's talk to some Phillies. 25 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: Guys. 26 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 4: We haven't gotten together since last week, and everybody's asking 27 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 4: us what's going on with the fight and Phils. We're 28 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 4: gonna get a little bit later in the show. We're 29 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 4: going to talk about what the Mets just did and 30 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 4: what kind of what the Braves are doing. We're gonna 31 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 4: run through the NL East. But because of that, and 32 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 4: also because just they haven't really done anything, people are 33 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 4: asking us what's going on, And this really starts with 34 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 4: Kyle Schwarber. Kyle Schwarber is still free agent, the Phillies 35 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 4: still wanting back. 36 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 6: In the past few days. 37 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 4: You know, let me know what you guys have heard. 38 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 4: But I've heard that they are not close yet, not 39 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 4: necessarily a surprise, it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but they're 40 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 4: not close. And you know, I think Kyle Schwarber's agency, 41 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 4: of course, so they're trying to cash in on what 42 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 4: was a monstrous twenty twenty five. They're trying to get 43 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 4: other teams involved. They're trying to get the price up, 44 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 4: which if you're his agent, you should be doing. Maybe 45 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 4: a little slower than the Phillies probably had hoped or 46 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 4: you know, I don't know if they expected it. That 47 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 4: happened quickly, but maybe a little bit slower, maybe a 48 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 4: little bit frustration. But I still think in the end 49 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 4: he'll end up coming back to Philadelphia. 50 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think one of the reasons you said they're 51 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 5: not close, Well, that's probably because the representative is Casey Close. 52 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 6: You dealt with them Reubin, And you know. 53 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 5: What, Casey is a maybe one of the best, quietly 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 5: one of the best, if not the best. No, just 55 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 5: disrespect to Scott Borse. He is a fantastic representative and 56 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 5: he is going to maximize what Kyle Schwarber has. 57 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: Done for the Phillies. The Phillies have expressed, whether. 58 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 5: It's right or wrong, especially when you're negotiating that they 59 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 5: want to bring him back. And when you do that, 60 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 5: you sorry, drop your drawers a little bit, and you 61 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 5: know you got to figure out you know where, Yes, 62 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 5: you want them back, but at what cost? 63 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: And Casey Close is going to do his best to 64 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: try to. 65 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 5: Maximize the years and maximize the AAV the average annual 66 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 5: value of the deal. 67 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: And and I don't blame him, that's his job. I 68 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: gotta believe that there's. 69 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 5: Some teams out there, maybe not all the big money teams, 70 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 5: but with some of the things we've talked about the Mets, 71 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 5: some of the things that don't don't be surprised by 72 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 5: Steve Cohen jumping in. Don't be surprised by the Dodgers, 73 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 5: the Evil Empire jumping in. Maybe even the Yankees. Boston 74 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 5: would love to have him back. I mean, you're talking 75 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 5: about some big numbers. Obviously, the Cincinnati and the Pittsburgh's 76 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 5: of the world. At Pittsburgh thing, Eh, but the Cincinnati 77 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 5: thing may be real just because it's a hometown type 78 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 5: of a situation and they need be ready to spend 79 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 5: some money. So Casey's closest job is to maximize his 80 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 5: value right now, and boy, it's not gonna be any higher. 81 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 5: This is really basically the last contract he's going to 82 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: get that's this big. So I don't blame Kyle and 83 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 5: I don't blame Casey Close for maximizing. 84 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 7: Wasn't he a former Golden Spikes winner Casey Close? 85 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 5: I think he was. He was at Michigan. He was 86 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 5: recruited to go to Stanford as well. I played against him, 87 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 5: believe it or not, in the Cape Cape Cod and 88 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 5: I want to say it was eighty I want to 89 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 5: say it was eighty five or eighty six. And he 90 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 5: played with some really damn good players. He played with 91 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 5: Todd Stottlemeyer. He played with Paul Sorrento. I can't remember 92 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 5: the name of the team right now of off hand, 93 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 5: but Casey was a really good ballplayer. 94 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: And he's married to Miss America, Gretchen Carlston. So he's 95 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: a total package. 96 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: I think he's more of a total pack because then 97 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: you are. 98 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: No doubt, no doubt done. He's done well. 99 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 5: I mean's and really, I mean I'll go back to 100 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 5: even back to when he represented. 101 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 8: Ryan Howard and it was a reason he won a 102 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 8: huge arbitration case against this we arbitration a lot hadn't 103 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 8: ever lost, and we were sort of pushed into doing 104 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 8: it and then. 105 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 5: Ended up he ended up doing a an extreme I mean, 106 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 5: he put on a massively awesome case and ended up, 107 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 5: you know, moving his salary to ten million, and it 108 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 5: basically changed the entire industry. 109 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: I remember that. 110 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 7: I remember he is a tough agent, a tough negotiating 111 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 7: He's just not as out there as Scott ports. 112 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: He's not. 113 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't, he's not out there at all. 114 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 5: He's he's very he's under the radar, very very bright, 115 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 5: very smart, does his job very well. 116 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: I respect him greatly, and uh and man. 117 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 5: He's also a guy that as an executive I could 118 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 5: actually talk to, you know, we could talk some things. 119 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 5: You know, some times you want to create that buffer 120 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 5: between the player and the and and the agent and 121 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 5: be able to express things to them that maybe they 122 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 5: can express to the player. 123 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: I don't know a little bit more politically correctly. 124 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 5: But he's he's a good he's a he's one of 125 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 5: the best in the industry. And and uh, and he's 126 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 5: gonna he's gonna maximize. 127 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 7: And that's the right word. And that's the reason Ryan 128 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 7: Howard ended up with him. Ryan Howard went through agents, 129 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 7: you know the way some guys, Yeah, the way some 130 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 7: guys sort their mail, you know, they every day was 131 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 7: a new agent, and he landed on Casey Close and 132 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 7: he stayed. 133 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: There for a good while. 134 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 7: And Casey I remember that arbitration case, and I remember 135 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 7: writing about it a lot. 136 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: And I think Casey Close argued he went, you know, 137 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 2: out of the realm of service time. 138 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 7: And he argued, like exceptional circumstance, And yes he did. 139 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: He compared him to the Babe Ruths of the world. 140 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, he went and and and right. 141 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 5: So because he was a special player, because he went 142 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 5: Rookie of the Year, MVP back to back, and he 143 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 5: pounded that had been done and he pounded it and 144 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 5: he got us. 145 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, he he and he's awfully good and and you 146 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 7: know that's why I think it's going to be a 147 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 7: tough negotiation, but I think it'll it'll be a fair negotiation. 148 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 7: And I just and again I say this all the time. 149 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 7: It could be wrong, but I see all roads leading 150 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 7: back here. I think they realized Kyle Schwarber's importance. I 151 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 7: think Schwarber likes it here. I Kevin Long being back 152 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 7: to me is a big thing. A big part of 153 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 7: it is the guy I helped college, Schwarber turn his 154 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 7: career around. 155 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: There's great trust there. 156 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 7: And you know, like I said a couple of weeks ago, 157 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 7: the season is a marathon. The off season is a 158 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 7: half marathon. So if it's thirteen miles, we're only at 159 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 7: about mile three. 160 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 5: This I will say about that I apologize for interrupting, 161 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 5: is that, you know, the Phillies have some business to do, 162 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 5: and so if it doesn't work out, and then they 163 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 5: probably want to know sooner rather than later, because that 164 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 5: big ticket item may preclude them from doing a ton 165 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 5: of other things. 166 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 7: I'm not saying it has to go all thirteen miles 167 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 7: and a half marathon. 168 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: I don't say if you decided off for three miles. 169 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just saying, you know, there's a ways to go. 170 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 5: I think I made a prediction that's going to be 171 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 5: done sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. 172 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: I'd still believe that that makes sense to me. 173 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 5: But the Phillies have business to do and they can't 174 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 5: let other opportunities go by the wayside if they don't 175 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 5: know what's going on with Kyle Schwarber. That's a lot 176 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 5: of money you're talking about the AAV. It's at least 177 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 5: a thirty million dollar AAV, and that's going to. 178 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: Affect a lot of the decisions they make moving forward. 179 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 4: I remember the Phillies being similarly frustrated in the off 180 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 4: season of twenty twenty twenty twenty one when JT. Realmuto 181 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 4: was a free agent. I believe Jim, what was JT's 182 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 4: original ask? 183 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 6: It was it was I think. 184 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 7: I heard his original ask when they when they started negotiations, 185 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 7: I heard the Phillies jaw dropped because his original ask 186 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 7: was seven years and two hundred and ten million. 187 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: It's over two hundred million dollars. 188 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, to ten, which would be what thirty million years, 189 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 7: So it was thirty times seven and then what did 190 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 7: you get one fifteen? So you know there's a you 191 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 7: start high and you end up somewhere more reasonable. 192 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: Right, And that's what I mean. 193 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 4: So like the fact that they're not close right now, 194 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 4: the fact that the Phillies, you know, they they might 195 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 4: be a little frustrated at the pace of it or 196 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 4: how far off they are, it doesn't mean it's not 197 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 4: going to happen. They like again, they felt similarly about 198 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 4: JT at this point last that that offseason. 199 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: I want to say this, Todd. 200 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 7: I think JT's initial asks were during the season. I 201 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 7: think they had some some conversations during the sea and 202 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 7: I don't know where it was in the off in 203 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 7: the off season, but when you know, the lines were 204 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 7: kind of first starting to be drawn, uh, and they 205 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 7: were actually playing games. Everything I heard was they were 206 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 7: shooting for seven years and two ten, which you know, 207 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 7: I blame them. 208 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: Start high. 209 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I would do. That's what I want, 210 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 6: would want my agent to do. 211 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: That's what any red blooded heat American would do. 212 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely more on some of the Phillies off season stuff. 213 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 6: Right after these words. 214 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 9: If you are still carrying a clunky leather brick that 215 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 9: can be mistaken for an old school wallet, may I 216 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 9: introduce you to what Eric Kratz is getting himself for 217 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 9: the holidays. 218 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 10: I mean, this is the greatest wallet that I've ever 219 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 10: seen in my life.

I just 263 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 4: dialed then a couple of minutes ago. A couple other 264 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 4: things I wanted to mention about the Phillies guys. Another 265 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 4: thing that people have been asking about as well. If 266 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 4: they get Schwarburn JT, what else can they do? And 267 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 4: it sounds to me like, you know, if they re 268 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 4: signed both of those guys, uh, they're not going to 269 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 4: be in on a Tucker, A Bobaschett, a Pie Alonzo. 270 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 4: They don't have the payroll flexibility to do that unless 271 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 4: quite honestly, they would clear a lot of their other 272 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 4: big league payroll. That could be an Alec Bama, Matt Strom, 273 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 4: a Brandon Marsh, guys like that, Taiwan Walker. You know, 274 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 4: they'd have to eat some money there. They'd have to 275 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 4: eat PROD pretty much everything on Castianos. So if you're 276 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 4: looking for Schwarberriel Mutu in another big signing, that might 277 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 4: not be in the cards. 278 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 6: Like I said, other than if they clear some payroll. 279 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 5: And that's the difficulty of like of signing both of 280 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 5: them back, because in essence you're running it back unless 281 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 5: you're definitely going with an entirely different out field, then 282 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 5: you're not really. 283 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 6: Running it back. 284 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 5: Now, when I say entirely different, you're talking about justin Crawford, 285 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 5: you're talking about somebody in center field, and you're talking 286 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 5: about marsh And right, that's not entirely different two thirds 287 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 5: of it, but it is different. And I really think 288 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 5: it behooves the Phillies somehow, some way to make some adjustments, 289 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 5: some trades, whatever the case may be, to try to 290 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 5: change things up, because I just don't think that the 291 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 5: running it back is going to do the trick. 292 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: I just don't think they've shown that. 293 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 5: They have the ability to win it unless they do 294 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 5: make some fairly significant changes. 295 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: I think they'd like to. I think they'd like to. 296 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: They're a bit of a box. 297 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 7: It's an inflexible roster, and some players aren't valued the 298 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 7: way they. 299 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 2: Think they should be valued. 300 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 7: And they need those two guys back because they need 301 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 7: to win one of these next two or three years. 302 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: And you need those guys they need to win next. 303 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 6: Year, right, right. The non tender deadline. 304 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 4: Was Friday, Friday, actually earlier, and I thought, I think 305 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 4: I remember in the last yow I said eight PM 306 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 4: was actually five PM, which is great. 307 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 6: It was done a little bit earlier. 308 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 4: But they offered tendered contracts to everybody that you would expect. 309 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 4: They agreed to deals with Raphael Marshawn and Garrett Stubbs. 310 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 4: You know, I guess their fallback options depth pieces if 311 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 4: JT doesn't doesn't re sign and then they non tendered 312 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 4: a couple of relievers, Michael Mercado and Daniel Roberts. 313 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 2: So I think Michael Mercado signed back. 314 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 6: Oh he did sign back. Okay, I miss that. 315 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 11: I think so I have to say, I mean, it 316 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 11: doesn't necessarily mean just because they have agreed to contracts 317 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 11: with him does not mean that they are the two 318 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 11: catchers for the season. 319 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 5: It just means that they're signed players. At some point, 320 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 5: right they may end up being the two catchers. I 321 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 5: don't think that that they're going to go that route. 322 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 5: I mean it is a possibility if JT goes off 323 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 5: and signs with the San Francisco Giants, or he. 324 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: Signs, you know, with whomever. 325 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 5: There's some other teams, I mean, the Mets they be interested. 326 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: There could be a bunch of. 327 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 5: Teams out there that have some interest in him. 328 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: And if they're willing to go to three or four years. 329 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: I think they can lock him in. 330 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 5: But it just means that these guys are signed. 331 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: I think it was smart for them to get them. 332 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 5: Done because now they have at the very least, and 333 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 5: in Garrett Stubbs situation, a very high number on the 334 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 5: minor league side, if he has to go through waivers, 335 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 5: not a lot of teams are going to want to 336 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 5: pay six hundred thousand, five hundred and seventy five whatever 337 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 5: it is. 338 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: To have him sit. It's kind of a luxury have 339 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: him sit in triple A. 340 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 5: And so that's the situation with him. And as we know, 341 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 5: Marshawn I think is a guy that I think has 342 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 5: a little bit more upside as. 343 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: Far as his offense is concerned. 344 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,719 Speaker 5: So it was just a good thing for them for 345 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 5: their depth in catching, because they don't have a lot 346 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 5: of depth beyond. 347 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 2: That right now. 348 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 6: They definitely do. 349 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 4: So on Thursday, Thanksgiving, we're gonna have another episode. We're 350 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 4: gonna answer a lot of your questions. But I got 351 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 4: a couple I wanted to run off real quick, and 352 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 4: this is kind of a a fun one. 353 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 6: Dare I say? This is from PAP nine six three 354 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 6: one on Instagram. 355 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 4: What player from the two thousand and seven to eleven 356 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 4: Phillies would fill the Phillies' biggest hole on the roster 357 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 4: right now. That's from g PAP ninety six to three one. 358 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 4: Like I said on Instagram, So if you could take 359 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 4: a player from the seven to eleven squads, throw them 360 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 4: on this team to solve a problem. 361 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: So an outfielder j dubb maybe I. 362 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 4: Was thinking that's who I was thinking, jim I was 363 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 4: thinking Jason Worth. 364 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: JW would be, he'd be great, be the best. I 365 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: like Polanco. 366 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 6: Third base. 367 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I like Polonco just because if he gives him 368 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 5: a different dynamic as far as offense is concerned. 369 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: And a you know, goal glove level third basement as well. 370 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 6: Vic Victorino plays. 371 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,239 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe a Halliday, I don't know. 372 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 2: He pretty good to find a place for him. 373 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys on that team.

I know that Nemo is like 479 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 5: a lifetime New York met Hey, sometimes you got to 480 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 5: make change, and they may change. Simeon was surprised by 481 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 5: the season he put together because he's got a lot 482 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 5: of ability, excellent defender at second, Yeah, can run a 483 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 5: little bit, got some power, but he had a rough year. 484 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 5: And it'll be interesting to see how these guys adjust 485 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 5: to their new homes. 486 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,479 Speaker 7: The defense starts has been talking a lot about improving 487 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 7: their defense, no doubt, so that improves their defense at second. 488 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 7: And there's a lot of talk about the Rangers retrenching 489 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 7: a little bit, and Nimo always owed more money. They 490 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 7: can spread it out over five years, so it's not 491 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 7: as big a hit year by year. But interesting trade, 492 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 7: you know, one for one baseball type trade. So yeah, 493 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 7: we'll see what Simon's got left. He's like thirty five, 494 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 7: and as Reuben said, he had a down year, I 495 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 7: mean he was you know, he's had some great years 496 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 7: great player, but he didn't have it last year, so 497 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 7: we'll see. 498 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: What he looks like next year. 499 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 7: But interesting add to the National League East, and interesting 500 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 7: departure because it seems like Brandon Neimo has been here forever. 501 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 12: The only other thing I will say is that, I mean, 502 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 12: it may be a little bit of protection for Juan 503 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 12: Soto if they do not bring Pete Alonzo back right 504 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 12: handed bat, maybe it gives him a little protection from 505 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 12: the right side. 506 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 5: I know Vientos is a guy that they're sort of 507 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 5: hoping he protects, but gives him a little bit more 508 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 5: right handed depth they need. 509 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 7: They need Viento's but he killed the Phillies for a 510 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 7: while we didn't have then was. 511 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: The Philly killer, but not anybody else. 512 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 2: No. 513 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 4: Sterns also was asked, I think, you know, can you 514 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 4: resign Pete Alonzo and Edwin Diaz and still go out 515 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 4: and get a big bat? And he said anything as 516 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 4: possible with Steve Cohen as owners. So and now I 517 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 4: would think the departure NEMO really put them in play 518 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 4: for Kyle Tucker Cody Bellinger. 519 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 6: They could really use one. I mean, obviously anybody could 520 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 6: use one of those two guys. 521 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: Especially they're looking for defense. 522 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 5: I mean, obviously in Tucker they're a little bit more 523 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 5: offensive and Bellinger's got that pedigree. But you're gonna get 524 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 5: better defense with both of those guys in the outfield 525 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 5: than what was being provided i think, just generally overall. 526 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: And they'll still be on in on school ball if 527 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 2: he moves. 528 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, they need put They need some starting pitching for sure. 529 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 6: I mean there's no doubt about that. 530 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 2: That's the team that. 531 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, they got to get some starting pitching. Braves guys. 532 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 4: They recently re signed Rice el Glaciers one year, sixteen 533 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 4: million dollar deal. They got Mauricio Dubon Dubone from the 534 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 4: Astros for Nick Allen. He could be their shortstop possibly. 535 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 4: I think they're still kind of looking that over what 536 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 4: they could do there. But they've you know, they got 537 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 4: a new manager, Walter Weiss. Walter Weiss or a Rookie 538 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 4: of the Year that's right with the Oakland A's back 539 00:26:59,320 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 4: in the day. 540 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: I'm glad they got that. Walt's getting another opportunity. 541 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 5: You know, he struggled a little bit with the Rockies, 542 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 5: didn't have a lot of personnel when he was there. 543 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 5: It was sort of a tough situation for him as 544 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 5: a first time manager, getting another opportunity to do it. 545 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: Good baseball man, quality person, really like Walt Weiss a lot, 546 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,719 Speaker 1: and you know, people say, well, why are they so insular? 547 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: Why are they you know, going from within. 548 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 5: Well, he's a pretty damn good baseball man, and they 549 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 5: have a damn good baseball team. 550 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: They just have had a lot of injuries and they 551 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: need some people to step back. 552 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,479 Speaker 5: Riley's got to come back, you know, They've They've got 553 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 5: to get a Kunya back and healthier. 554 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 13: You know, he's not the same guy with his knee issues, 555 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 13: and I'll be really struggled with his overall health. So 556 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 13: they get healthy Strider, et cetera. They still got some 557 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 13: talent on that team. 558 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 5: Man. 559 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 2: So I think Weiss means White in German, So he's 560 00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: Walter White. He's Walter White. 561 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: Ooh for breaking back. He's breaking it back. 562 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 2: That just hit me. 563 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: He is the danger here A Wordsmith's James. 564 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 4: The Nationals haven't really done much other than they got 565 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 4: Blake but Terras their manager, the Marlins. There is some 566 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 4: talk that they are going to try to spend a 567 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 4: little bit more money this offseason, just like the Pirates 568 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 4: are trying to maybe spend a little bit more money. 569 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: Whatever they're and slapped by the rest of the league. 570 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 4: Whatever their what, whatever their motives are. 571 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 2: Rubin you know there. 572 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 6: I don't know how much more is more for a 573 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 6: team like the Marlins or. 574 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 5: The players will be percentages more because the payroll eighty 575 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 5: million bucks or whatever. 576 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 4: Yes, I mean maybe they get up to one hundred. 577 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 4: I don't know what that number is. But this offseason 578 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 4: they also have been fairly quiet to this point. They 579 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 4: did promote Gabe Kapler to be the GM of the Marlins, 580 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 4: so we got we'll see a lot more of Gabe 581 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 4: probably at the ballpark than we have the. 582 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 6: Past couple of years.
