1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: But it seems to me Tampa Ebor City that is 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: the place to build, that is where the population is. 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:11,120 Speaker 2: We've all been saying this for years. 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: We're coming to you a little bit late today because 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: Aja Persinski could not wrap up an interview in time. 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 2: I'm Ken Rosendahl. I'm here with Alta Rizzo. 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: This is the first time I think we've done a 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: show together, Alta, and as usual, there is plenty to discuss. 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 3: Yes, it's so good to actually see you in person. 10 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 3: I finally actually got to meet Ken's wife. She does exist, you, guys, Lisa, 11 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 3: a beautiful lady. We had a good dinner the other night. 12 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 3: There's a lot to talk about, and let's talk. Start 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 3: Ken with Vladimir Guerrero Junior. Apparently money does talk, and 14 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 3: we now know the number that he's seeking in terms 15 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 3: of the next deal. 16 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 2: A lot of money always talks. 17 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: And yes, he is seeking five hundred billion in present 18 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: day value, and that's what I reported. A couple of 19 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: days ago. John Hayman and Joel Sherman from New York 20 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: Post reported that what he had been offered by the 21 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: Jays was in the four hundred to four hundred and 22 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: fifty million dollar range sports Net later followed that and 23 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: said it was more like four to fifty, so the 24 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: difference in present value is fifty million dollars. Fans have 25 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: been reaching out by Twitter by my comments section and saying, whoa, WHOA, 26 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: whoa five hundred million for Vlagerero Junior. 27 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 2: You got to be kidding me. 28 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: And I just want to remind people that when Shoho 29 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: Tani had his surgery and was not going to be 30 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: able to pitch. 31 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: This was right before his free agency was major elbow surgery. 32 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: Second one, I wrote that he's going to get five 33 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: hundred million anyway, and fans said, Ken, you're ridiculous. There's 34 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: no way he can't pitch now. He's not getting five 35 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: hundred million. He got five hundred million present day. Wasn't 36 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: what that number was, but seven hundred guaranteed total four 37 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: to sixty in present day and if he wanted it 38 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: to be higher, it would have been higher then. Juan Soto, Ken, 39 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: Jan Soto's not worth as much as Joheo Tani. 40 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: He doesn't pitch. 41 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: And if you go back, I hope we have the clip. 42 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: You go back and remember this exchange I had with A. J. 43 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: Prazinski on foul territory. We discussed whether Jan Soda would 44 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: get more than show he in present day value. 45 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 2: Remember here we go. 46 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 4: Should you write that he's gonna get more money than Otani, 47 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 4: because if he is, we might need to cut you 48 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 4: off from whatever it is that you are talking about. 49 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 5: Man, I believe he's going to get more money than Otani. Now, 50 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 5: not more than seven hundred. I believe he's going to 51 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 5: beat his present day. 52 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 6: Value, which was for sixty right, Yo, Tani deal with 53 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 6: the deferrals factored in present day value for sixty. Do 54 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 6: I believe Wan Soda will get more than that? Aj, 55 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 6: I will bet you right now that he gets more 56 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 6: than that. 57 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: I love that. 58 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 5: Why don't you think he'll get for sixty? 59 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 4: Well, I just want to know what team's gonna pay. 60 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 5: It, Mets, Yankees, teams out Yankees. 61 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 4: Yankees can afford a fifty million dollars year player. 62 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: Yes, Yankees afford him, Yes, they can afford him. 63 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 5: The Mets will have a lot more payroll flexibility at 64 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 5: the end of this season, and I would expect for 65 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 5: Juan Soto you will see other teams into the fray 66 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 5: as well. 67 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: It's mon Soto, man, he's going to be twenty six 68 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: next season as a free agent going into the market, 69 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: he's going to do really well. 70 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: I so enjoy bringing back this clip. 71 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: And actually I was wrong because Sodo not only beat 72 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: Otani in present day value, he beat him by three 73 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: hundred million in present day value, but he also beat 74 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: him in total value. So the point is that vlad 75 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: Guerrero Junior, because he's going to be as a free 76 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: agent entering his age twenty seventh season, he's going to 77 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: get paid. Don't tell me he's not worth it. Don't 78 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: tell me any of this. The Blue Jays offered him 79 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: four fifty. They think he's worth at least that much. 80 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: And now it's a question of a lot of whether 81 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: they can get to some kind of compromise. 82 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 3: It's also a question though ken of I thought a 83 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 3: deadline was supposed to be a deadline. I mean, Vladimir 84 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 3: Gerro Junior made it very clear that if they didn't 85 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 3: come to an agreement, I'm mutually agreed upon a deal 86 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: prior to a certain date of spring training, that he 87 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: was no longer going to discuss and he's certainly not 88 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 3: going to discuss it while there is in the regular season. 89 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 3: But apparently if they come to him with the five 90 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 3: hundred million dollar deal. The deadline is no longer. What's 91 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: up with that? 92 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: The deadline was a deadline for that particular day, but 93 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: that day after they did not reach an agreement with 94 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: Vlad Junior did say, Hey, if they come to me 95 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: with a realistic offer, yes, I'd still be willing to talk. Now, 96 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: there probably is an expiration date for that kind of conversation. 97 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: I imagine it's opening day. 98 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: But if the Jays wanted to revisit this sometime in 99 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,239 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks and get closer to his number, 100 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: or maybe get to his number, I can't imagine he 101 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: would say no. He has made it pretty clear that 102 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: he wants to stay. A lot of people don't want 103 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: to go to Toronto. We've seen that over the last 104 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: couple of years or not. That they don't want to go, 105 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: but they have other options that they consider better. So 106 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: here's a guy who was born in Canada, is a 107 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: homegrown Jay, is a guy who wants to stay, and 108 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: his number is his number. Right now, they're not that 109 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: far away from his number. It seems to me that 110 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 1: some kind of agreement can be reached. 111 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: I mean to you and I and to most of 112 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 3: the normal folk watching us, listening to us, fifty million 113 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 3: dollars is a big difference. However, if he is the 114 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: face of the franchise, which I believe him to be, 115 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: he's a homegrown kid. As you mentioned, you didn't get show. Hey, 116 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 3: you didn't get Wan Sodo. You're not getting some of 117 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: these other players. You have the fifty million dollars. Would 118 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 3: it behoove to use Jim Tracy phrase? Would it behoove 119 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 3: the Jays to give him the extra fifty make him 120 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 3: a forever Jay? 121 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: I believe it would. Did Jay's probably have their own reasons. 122 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: For not going there just yet, And I know teams 123 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: are always looking to be as efficient as possible and 124 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: as disciplined. 125 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 2: The Jays love that word discipline. We want to be disciplined. 126 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 2: I get it. But where are you without this guy? 127 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:47,679 Speaker 2: That's the problem. 128 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: And we can go back through the past several years 129 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: how they could have signed to him for much less 130 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: at various points. And if you weren't going to sign him, 131 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: well then you probably should have traded him. So here 132 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: they are, Alana. They are a team that after this 133 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: season could lose both lad Junior and Bobashett. 134 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't have a good farm system. 135 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: They've got other players whose contracts are expiring at some 136 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: point relatively soon. 137 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: They need to, in my view. 138 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: Get this building block in place and then they can 139 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: worry about some other things and start to proceed with 140 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: him there. 141 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: And building around. 142 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 3: I mean, if they don't win now, when are they 143 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 3: going to win? Because they don't have the complimentary pieces 144 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 3: as you mentioned in the farm system. It's almost like 145 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 3: I remember when everybody from the Nationals was traded away 146 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 3: and one Soda. There's that meme of Wan Soda walking 147 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 3: into the to the house and no one's around but him. 148 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 3: I mean, that's kind of how I feel the Jays 149 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 3: are now. If you don't win now, when will you? 150 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: Well, it's a great. 151 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: Question, and they have put a lot of resources into 152 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: this year's team. 153 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: They've done a lot. 154 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: They acquired him as signed Santander, signed some relievers. Jeff 155 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: Hoffin was one of them. They are clearly trying to win. Now, 156 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: here's the other question. They're in a vision that is 157 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: really good. Obviously, let's say Guro Junior is not signed, 158 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: and let's say the deadline approaches and they're not all 159 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: in right now. I don't know that that's going to 160 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: happen because with expanded playoffs, everybody's in an all time 161 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: pretty much. 162 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: But it could happen, and they've wanted to avoid distraction. 163 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 2: That's one of the things that, of course all teams 164 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: want to do. 165 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: They're gonna have a big distraction. So it seems to 166 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: me the way to eliminate the distraction would be to 167 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: get the player under contract and find a way to 168 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: do it. 169 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 3: It's funny because when you talk about distraction, we're gonna 170 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 3: move on here to the New York Yankees in just 171 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 3: a moment. It's always a distraction. Whether he signs, it's 172 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 3: a distraction. Whether he doesn't sign, it's a distraction. Let's 173 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 3: talk about the New York Yankees in that same Al 174 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: East Division. Obviously, ken I believe of course, with the 175 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 3: now Tommy John surgery for Garrett Cole and the injury 176 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: to Luis Hill, they're a worse team than they were, 177 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 3: you know, a week and a half ago. There are 178 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 3: starters on the market. There are also a team right 179 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 3: across the way at camel Back Branch in the Los 180 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers that has a plethora of starting arms. Why 181 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: are the Yankees seemingly not back in the market to 182 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 3: compliment the three that they have in the rotation now. 183 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: It seems to me, Alana, that they don't like what 184 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: is out there, and what is out there is Lance 185 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: Lynn and Kyle Gibson and Spencer Turnbull and Brian Cashman. 186 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: The other day raised eyebrows around the industry and especially 187 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: in media circles when he said, Hey, the luxury taxes 188 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: are concerned. 189 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: They're already over the Steve Cohen line. 190 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: They are going to have to pay one hundred and 191 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: ten percent tax on any player they signed. 192 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: So Lance Linn at five million is really Lance Line 193 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: at eleven million. 194 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: That's one concern, but that shouldn't be so much of 195 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: a concern when you get Yankees insurance money coming back 196 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: for Carrot Cole. Yeah, they're the Yankees, but it just 197 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: seems to me that they're not enamored with the options 198 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: out there, and making a trade at this time of 199 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: year is generally pretty difficult. 200 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: One thing I think about too, when we were having 201 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 3: this discussion Ken earlier on our production call, is this 202 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: reminds me of the situation. I know I'm a homer, 203 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 3: but this reminds me of the situation last year with 204 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 3: the Dodgers where they had so many injuries to their 205 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: starting arms and they were having guys come up to 206 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 3: the big leagues that perhaps were not major League ready yet, 207 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 3: but out of necessity they did have to come. And 208 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 3: I had mentioned to you, you know, the Bobby Millers, 209 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: the Emmitt she Ands, the Michael Groves of the world, 210 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 3: and your point was they were still more major League 211 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: ready than perhaps what the Yankees have in their farm system. 212 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 3: Are they going from within if they don't like what's 213 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 3: on the trade market or the freezer market. 214 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: And guy Alana that they are very high on, and 215 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: who's had a good camp Will Warren, so he is 216 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: someone they can plug in. 217 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 2: Beyond that, they don't have the numbers that the Dodgers 218 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 2: had last year. 219 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: This time, I remember it was one guy after another 220 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: three you mentioned River, Ryan came up, Casparius eventually came 221 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: up again. It was just so many different options. That's 222 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: the Dodgers, and they have this incredible depth. The Yankees 223 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: aren't there, and at the same time, they do have 224 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: some options even beyond Warren, and rather than in their 225 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: minds right now look at a Lynn or a Gibson. 226 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: It seems that they prefer those kinds of options, and 227 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: given the luxury tax and given all that, it's kind 228 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: of a feeble thing maybe to some fans. But if 229 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: they perceive that wil Warrenck can give them, or anyone 230 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: else can give them what lance Lin's going to give 231 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: them for much less, I at least understand that logic is. 232 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 3: The wild card then the route for the Yankees this year. 233 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: I know it's early as we sit here on March thirteenth, 234 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: but I'm sorry, Garrett Cole is a huge loss. The 235 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 3: Louis Heel, the rookie of the Year last year in 236 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: the American League. That's a huge loss too. Is Will 237 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 3: Warren enough? 238 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: Well, he's going to be enough to start the season 239 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: the way they set up right now, unless they sign 240 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: one of these guys, I don't know that I would 241 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: just concede that the wild card is the way for 242 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: them to go because the American League, in my view, 243 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: is weak, okay, and the Al East is good, but 244 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: Boston is kind of a team that could be really good, 245 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: or maybe not as good as people like me think 246 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: they're going to be. The Orioles have their own issues, 247 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: Grayson Rodriguez now down, so. 248 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 2: I wouldn't rule out the division for them. 249 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: Toronto is still kind of not at the level of 250 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: those teams in my opinion. Tampa Bay will be good, 251 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: but they're pitching. While it's much much better now, it's 252 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: much healthier, their offense is still a question and they're 253 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: going to keep playing in a more hitter friendly environment 254 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: at Steinbrenner Field. So I wouldn't concede the division by 255 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: any stretch because the Yankees also can do things at 256 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: the deadline if they need to, and who knows, it's 257 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: just kind of more wide open. 258 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 3: I was gonna say it's a wide open path in 259 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 3: the Al East, perhaps way more now than it was 260 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: just a couple of weeks ago. Much more to come 261 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 3: here on Fair Territory with Ken Rosenthal. Don't forget to 262 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 3: get in your questions.

I have a question for you, 291 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 3: since we're sitting here at spring training while we wait 292 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 3: for some of the questions to come in. Is there 293 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 3: any you've been doing this a long time? No disrespect, 294 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 3: just means you've been doing it really well for a 295 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 3: very long time. Is there any like one spring training 296 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 3: story that kind of pops out at you. I put 297 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 3: you on the spot. I throw him a curveball here, 298 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 3: wait for questions. 299 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: It's a good story. You'll like this story. 300 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: So after the White Astro scandal, I said, White Sox 301 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: was sitting here. 302 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 2: The Astros sign stealing scandal next spring. If you remember, 303 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 2: you do remember this, Cody Bellinger had some things to say. 304 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 3: He did. 305 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: Carlos Korea sends me a text he wants to talk. 306 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay for an article, no cameras. I 307 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: want the cameras. I was at MLB Network at the time. 308 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: Our producer Ben Freifeld had just driven across the state 309 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: to Tampa. The Astros are in West Palm. This is 310 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: a three hour at least drive. The cameraman, the audio 311 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: guy also, they were all in Tampa having dinner. I 312 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: called him and said, we kind of need we need 313 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: to do this. You guys, can you come back. I 314 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: felt horrible about it, Ben and the crew drove all 315 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: the way back. We did the interview, and that was 316 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: probably the wildest spring training. 317 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 3: Always when you sit down for dinner, I swear that's 318 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 3: when players are like, all right, let's call him all right. 319 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 3: A question here in Grill and Ken in regards to 320 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 3: the Tampa Bay Rays. Ken obviously had just mentioned they're 321 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 3: spitting the entire season hitting ads are playing at Steinbrennerfield 322 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 3: there in Tampa because of what's happened to trapa Cana. 323 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: So the question is are the Rays moving to Tampa 324 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 3: or Montreal? 325 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: Not Montreal, Tampa is a possibility if they are sold 326 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: to Tampa based interests. Evandrelic of The Athletic reported a 327 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: couple of days ago that there is pressure from Major 328 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: League Baseball and the owners on Stuart Sternberg, their owner, 329 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: to sell the team. 330 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: It does not appear he's. 331 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: Going to come up with the financing necessary by March 332 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: thirty first to advance their stadium deal. So that's gonna 333 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: be a problem. They're not going to have the stadium 334 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: in Saint Pete. If that's the case, he needs to sell, 335 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: and if he sells to owners that would be preferring 336 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: to move the team to Tampa, that would be the 337 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: way to go. Orlando would be perhaps another possibility, But 338 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: it seems to me, Alana, and you've been there. You 339 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: know this Tampa Ebor city that is the place to build, 340 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: that is where the population is. 341 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: We've all been saying this for years in Saint Pete. 342 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: Kind of self defeating in some ways, and that's the 343 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: fear the Rays have with this whole stadium. 344 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 3: I don't know, and you certainly would know more than 345 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 3: I can, but I don't know that I've ever heard 346 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 3: of a time in which the owners and Major League 347 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 3: Baseball are putting pressure on an owner to sell. Why 348 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 3: do you think that's happening now with this situation, in 349 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 3: particular with the race. 350 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 2: That's a great question. I would say. 351 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: The answer is because they don't see this stadium deal 352 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: in Saint Petersburg. 353 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: As coming together with him there. 354 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: And if that's not going to come together, then what 355 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: he has not had good relations with people in Saint Pete, 356 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: people in Tampa. 357 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: It's kind of just gone awry for him. 358 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: And I should say, when we're talking about Stuart Sternberg, 359 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: we're talking about his owner of a very successful franchise. 360 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: Considering what they have. 361 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: Spent each year, and the guy that is beloved, beloved 362 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: by his employees, he just for whatever reason has not 363 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: been able to kind of get this whole thing going 364 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: and get it done. 365 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 2: And that is why the pressure is there. They want 366 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: this resolved once and for all. 367 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 3: What do you think is a more precarious situation or 368 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 3: a convoluted, confusing situation, the Athletics stadium issue or the 369 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 3: Race stadium issue. 370 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: I would say the race right now, the Athletics have 371 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: a deal in Las Vegas. 372 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 2: They are adamant that that is going to happen. 373 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is adamant that is going to be 374 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: something that gets done, even though there are those. 375 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 3: Like me, are they going to be? 376 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: But the Rays do not have anything like that in place, 377 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: So I would say right now the race situation is 378 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: more precarious. 379 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 3: Okay, before we get into Dude and Dork of the week, 380 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 3: one more question. The Breakout Series begins today, Ken, do 381 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 3: you have a breakout prospect that you have your eyes 382 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 3: on somebody that we should be paying attention to. I mean, 383 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 3: obviously everybody in the Breakout Series has a high ceiling, 384 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 3: we think, but is there somebody in particular we should watch. 385 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: A guy that stands out to me is someone I 386 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: wrote about a couple of weeks ago, Chandler Simpson with 387 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: the Rays. He is probably the fastest man in baseball. 388 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: He makes contact like a rise. That's him. He's a 389 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: contact guy who is really fast, is learning and has 390 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: learned to play center field. I don't know that he 391 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: is on the immediate future of the Rais or the 392 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: immediate radar of the Rays. They have some other prospects 393 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: that are ahead of him, but he is a fascinating guy. 394 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: There are people who say, this guy hits for no power. 395 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: You can't have him in the major leagues. And then 396 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: there are people who say, man, I can't wait to 397 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: see Chandlers SIPs. 398 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean contact hitter though like a rise. I 399 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 3: mean he wins the bad title. I mean that there's 400 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 3: something to be said about that. 401 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 2: And when this guy puts the ball on the ground 402 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: can fly ally safe. 403 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 3: So who wins in a race, Simpson or the free 404 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 3: or the Flash or the Freezer or whatever. In Atlanta, 405 00:17:58,920 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 3: I asked. 406 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 2: Simpson if he would be some of the people in 407 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball today. 408 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: If you remember Jazz Chisham June first, at one point 409 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: and said, I'm faster than everybody about Bobby witd Jaylen Simpson, 410 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: who is a young guy, not disrespectful, he's very you know, 411 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: well mattered guy. 412 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 2: Whatever he goes, I like my chance. 413 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 3: I love that. You gotta be confident. There's a difference 414 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 3: between confidence and ergants. Okay, time now for dude of 415 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 3: the week. 416 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 8: Dude, dude, dude, all right, can your dude of the 417 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 8: week is some Jayhawk baseball? 418 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: Jayhawk Baseball five consecutive home runs in a game against 419 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: the University of Minnesota. Now, that is awesome and that's 420 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: why they are the Dudes of the week Kansas University Baseball. 421 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 2: However, Minnesota, what are we doing here? 422 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: And I was a guy in nineteen eighty seven, my 423 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: first year coming baseball covered a game in which the 424 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: Orioles allowed ten home runs to. 425 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 3: Mercy, a record that's still the Mercy see. 426 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: Both runs in the game. 427 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: The Oiel's late general manager, Hank Peters made a video 428 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: the following spring of how not to pitch ten home 429 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: runs as the example. So while Kansas, yes, dude to 430 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: the week, no doubt, Minnesota needs to be kind of 431 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: making a video. 432 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're kind of almost the dorks of the week. 433 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 3: We're gonna get there in just a moment.

You know, forgiven, Dave well earned, in 436 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 3: my opinion, a well earned contract extension four years, thirty 437 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 3: two million, the highest AAV, surpassing Craig Council's deal. I mean, 438 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 3: Dave's earned it. He's taking that team of the post, 439 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: is it. I understand he has an amazing roster, but 440 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,239 Speaker 3: there's a lot more to getting to where Dave has 441 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 3: gotten just based on the roster construction. So he is 442 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 3: my dude of the week. Congratulations, Doc, very well earned 443 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 3: all right.
