The thing about it is is, if you look 57 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 4: at it, it's not just one thing, like the fact 58 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 4: that he has a good group of guys that can 59 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 4: actually know that that know the game well, that have 60 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 4: been in the trenches, and he can bounce stuff off 61 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 4: of good, bad or ugly, but we can have a 62 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 4: conversation about it and there's no ulterior motive. 63 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 8: Do you think do you think that group that needs 64 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 8: to be around him needs to have a good dissection 65 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 8: of representation of X players in a sense of everybody 66 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 8: undred million, one hundred million, hundred million, hut and then 67 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 8: there's but there's only like ten percent of dudes ever 68 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 8: make that kind of money in the game. Do you 69 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 8: think he needs to be able to listen to dudes 70 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 8: that are a year and a half, three years in 71 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 8: the big leagues, full five years, guys that are getting 72 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 8: like minor league deals. 73 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 4: Absolutely, But at the same time, like the guys that 74 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 4: we do have on cap, they're actually respected by the 75 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 4: younger guys. So it's up to us to go and 76 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 4: actually bounce that off of them. Because if Rob were 77 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 4: to come in and talk to him, then it's something 78 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: like it's they're never gonna say anything. It's like when 79 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 4: the GM comes in, you're just like right, But if 80 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 4: if a veteran player comes. 81 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: And speaks to you, you're gonna give your opinions.

Right, Like we're everywhere. 106 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 7: You just said though you're giving, you're you're selling the 107 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 7: commissioner side to the players. 108 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: That's your job. 109 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm not. 110 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 4: I didn't ever said that. I never said I was 111 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 4: selling them. I said I we're going to get up. 112 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 4: So we're forming basically our own opinions on what is 113 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 4: going on and giving honest feedback to Rock about the 114 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 4: player side, about you know, even the management side. He 115 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 4: comes to us and we're like, hey, that's probably not 116 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 4: gonna work. 117 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 8: Can we do it? Can we get where it's closer? 118 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 8: Because look at the leagues that they're closer. 119 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 6: Players for sure, they're way closer. 120 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know what it takes, Like you said, 121 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 4: it's in everything, it takes two sides, right, It takes 122 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 4: two sides. It takes whether that's the owners, whether that's Rob, 123 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 4: whether that's the players, to come up with something that 124 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 4: brings us closer. Right, And as always we're always polarized 125 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 4: on each side. It's equated to politics. It's like you know, 126 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 4: you're far left and we're far right, and it's just 127 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 4: like there would be perfect if we could find good 128 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 4: things from both sides. 129 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: And let it go.

So it was a learning process 382 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 4: from my first two years there, just getting to know guys. 383 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 4: And I tell people all the time, I would be 384 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 4: remissed if I came in and helped just try to 385 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 4: change things. 386 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: Immediately. 387 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 4: I had to take a step back and kind of 388 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 4: see exactly what was going on in the locker room 389 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 4: on the field and try to make an honest assessment 390 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 4: to myself and try to plug myself in a where 391 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 4: any way I could help. And then going to the 392 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 4: Angels with the manager that I've had that I respect, 393 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 4: going there and being able to play alongside show Hey 394 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 4: and chay Up and Albert. 395 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: I mean we had a squad rendon. 396 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 4: Try to try to of course, but just going in 397 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 4: that locker room and seeing all the vets in there, 398 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 4: it was definitely a change of pace. Only played seven games, 399 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 4: so I got tore my a cl so, but I 400 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 4: mean that was kind of the long answer. 401 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 8: But of the comparison, how did you know what you 402 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 8: found out when you went to the Cardinals. If the 403 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 8: same offer was out there for the same contract somewhere else, 404 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 8: would you have gone to an organization that maybe needed 405 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 8: because they were kind of like set veteran, We just 406 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 8: want you to come in and do exactly what you 407 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 8: did with the Cubs, right, which is hard to do. 408 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 8: It's hard to have freaking awesome years every year, right. 409 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 8: Would you have gone somewhere else that maybe it wasn't 410 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 8: as veteran leyden. 411 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 4: As No, I would say they were close. I mean, 412 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 4: at once you win, you want to keep winning, and 413 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 4: it's like they had the potential to win and my 414 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,479 Speaker 4: time there was a cut short a year. But at 415 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 4: the end of the day, I learned from every experience, 416 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 4: So I don't regret any experience because that's kind of 417 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 4: helped me through life. 418 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: Like I was in you know, it's crazy.
