WEBVTT - Red Sox Roll to 6th Straight Series Win, Curtis Mead Trade Reaction

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Welcome about the territory, Ladies and gentlemen. Another series win

0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>for the Red Sox here today. Final score six to one,

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>record improves to fifty four and fifty. We're just getting

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:22.799
<v Speaker 1>more and more over five hundred, ladies and gentlemen. But

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>there is still one thing to do, in my opinion. Well,

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>obviously gotta keep winning games, and you know, maybe make

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>another trade or two by the deadline. But you still

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>got to get out of this four game under five

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred rut at home. But they did a great job

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>this past week, a very successful home stand. Sixth straight

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 1>series win, now seven series wins out of their last eight.

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 1>This was a big series win in my opinion, because

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.959
<v Speaker 1>you had a lot of people after the streak saying, oh,

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>that's just gonna die down. Now they just got hot.

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.040
<v Speaker 1>They faced a few bad teams in there, like the

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Mets and the Angels. This isn't real, but you know what,

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>you went up against a couple of tough division opponents.

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.320
<v Speaker 1>And say what you will about the Orioles and the

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Blue Jays not having you know, the most successful seasons

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>they were envisioning, but division matchups are always tough. They

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>each got some good players on those teams. These were

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>some good wins in my opinion, and these are wins

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>that are gonna help sustain that big wins streak. And again,

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>like I said, with home, you've had trouble at home

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:37.039
<v Speaker 1>all year. You're now four games away from four wins away,

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, unless there's a loss in there, but you

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.279
<v Speaker 1>were getting closer and closer to getting out of that rut.

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Good to see this performance at home this past week.

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Good to see the Red Sox continuing to win these series. Yeah, sure,

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>you're not winning, you know, you know, no new fifteen

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>game wins streak at least as of right now. But

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>good to see that they're keeping this going at the

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>right time as well, going into the deadline. We're about

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>a week away, a little over a week away. Good

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>to see. Good to see the offense here today, figuring

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>out Kevin Gosman. He's always had success against the Red

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Sox in his career or especially since going to the

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Blue Jays, always had success against them. Big day here

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>for Jared Duran. I'm just gonna say it right off

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the bat, Jared Duran is my player of the game

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>for today. Big game for him today, three for four,

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.920
<v Speaker 1>a couple of Ribis. As we all know, he's had

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.799
<v Speaker 1>a down year. He's still under two hundred or the

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>batting average OPS is just over six hundred at this point,

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>WRC plus under a sixty.

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Sure, you look at the homers and the stolen bases.

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>He is on pace for at least a twenty twenty season,

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, But you'd still like for everything else to

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>come up. But in the end, Jared Duran had himself

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>a good day here today and looking elsewhere, saw some

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>small ball here today. Continuing to see that small ball success,

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>moving runners over three more sack buns on the day,

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>leading to runs. Seti Willier driving in those runs. Jami

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Jones with a big pink hit perform appearance in the

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>seventh inning. Couple of Ribbi's Red Sox killer Jami Jones,

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen, I said it right when it happened.

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:13.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, this look really good.

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Move.

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.519
<v Speaker 1>Like this guy has torched the Red Sox over the

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years. He's hit great at Famway Park. Listen,

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Jami Jones. He is his own man. But I'm gonna

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>be honest there I today when he had that double,

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm like this just looks like Rob Rev Snyder for

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>like crying out loud like it. Really he makes you

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>think of Rob Rev Snyder, right, But good to see

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>that he's had some success here with the Red Sox.

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll see what ends up happening with these roster spots

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>as moves continue to happen, especially with Curtis Mead. You know,

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>where will Jami Jones fit in? You know, if they

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>make some more moves here, we'll see. But I'm glad

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 1>he was able to come through here today. Austin in

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the chat, big vibes guy. You know he was pumped

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>up after that double here today. He brings energy in there,

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>you know the guy again. He kind of reminds me

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.839
<v Speaker 1>of Rob reths Snyder in a way. Right, But hey,

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>good day for him, good day for the offense. How

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 1>about Ranger Suarez back on the mound here today. Not

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>a long outing for him for innings, just over sixty pitches,

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 1>give up a couple of hits, but look pretty good

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.840
<v Speaker 1>on the day here today, six strikeouts overall, bullpen looked great.

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.600
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about that. We're gonna go over today's game.

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna run through it pretty quickly. Just like yesterday,

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>not as straightforward as yesterday. Dylan Sees just dominated the

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 1>entire game, had a perfect game at one point, So

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 1>you got a little bit more to talk about here today.

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>But this, i'd say, for the most part, was a

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty straightforward game. We'll go through it pretty quickly here

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>today because I know a lot of you are here

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>to talk more about Curtis Mead. You know, I'm trying

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>to come up with some nicknames, all right, you hear

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>you know the nickname Tony segals right, you know, has

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>a nice funny ring to it. I'm trying to come

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 1>up with something for Mead. I don't know. I feel

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>like I feel like the easy one. Something I don't know,

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Like you feel like you're about to say meet and

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>then you say Mead. So I don't know. Could there

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.479
<v Speaker 1>be something there like meat locker? Does that work? I'm

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>not sure. I don't know. Gotta come up with something.

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 1>But Curtis Mead, Oh, I forgot to say the Mead

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 1>sucks or one to other ladies and gentlemen. He's not

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>even here yet, and he's already bringing success to this team.

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>He's already bringing success. Oh, Phoenix, that's a good one.

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.479
<v Speaker 1>That's a good one. Derek, who do you think gets

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>sent down? I don't know. It's good. We'll go, we'll

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 1>talk about this. We're gonna spend a whole segment here

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 1>today talking more about the Curtis Mead trade, which I

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>also want to say, Holy cow. Uh, I went back

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to the stream last night and uh, because what I

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.359
<v Speaker 1>did for that stream here, I took a lot of

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the clips from that stream and I made a video

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 1>that I uploaded on the main channel here today. Holy cow.

0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I was all over the place last night. Like I've

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>felt like I repeated myself. Well that's not usually new,

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>but I felt like I repeated myself like a million

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>times last night. I felt like I was going in

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>all different directions. My brain was just was just cooked.

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I was so tired already. I was about to go

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to bed, and I'd just come home from a nice

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>night out. Luckily I did get home for that. But

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>holy cal, I was all over the place last night.

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>So I do apologize if that was a tough listen.

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.599
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I said a lot of the things

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>that a lot of the points I wanted to make.

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 1>There was a couple of more I wanted to kind

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 1>of touch on a bit today, kind of go over

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.279
<v Speaker 1>a couple of things, maybe tweak a couple of couple

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>of thoughts as I thought more about them here today.

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so sorry if that was a tough lesson

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>last night. I know we're all kind of excited, but

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I was just everywhere. Anyway, we'll talk

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 1>more about Curtis me. Craig Breslow did talk a couple

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 1>of times here today. He was talking during the game,

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>but he had a press conference before the game here today.

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually gonna play some of the clips. We'll I'll

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>listen to that, we'll react as it goes. So, yeah,

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 1>good show here today. If you can, all I ask

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 1>just hit that like button for me. If you are

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>just finding us for the first time, think about subscribing.

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 1>We actually got a lot of new subscribers from that

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>show last night, So anyone new just finding us from

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>last night. If you are with us today, thank you

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 1>for joining. We are getting very close to eight thousand subscribers.

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>We are realistically, I think gonna be able to get

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>there once the trade deadline has come and coming gone.

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I think we're about fifty subscribers away. We're getting close.

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Eight K was the goal for this year, maybe even ten.

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Well, we'll see, but we're getting close.

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Before I do move on though, we did have a

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of super chats. Let me actually get those super

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>chats rolling just in case, because you know me, I'll

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 1>forget the super chats. Not that I don't want to

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>play the superchats, but my brain is an actual potato.

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>But what do we got is Siegler and Chang still

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna be part of the game play moving forward. It's

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna be really interesting. We'll talk about Curtis Mead. It

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>looks like we have a good idea of where he

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>could be playing. I'll give you my thoughts on that

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:20.760
<v Speaker 1>as well. But uh, you gotta think Chang is probably

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>right now. We'll get to it. But I feel like

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Shang is probably gonna be the guy. Siegler I feel

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>like has done enough to warrant Stang, but you just

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 1>never know, you know, I feel like Shang is probably

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna be the guy at this point. We'll talk about it. Steve,

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 1>what's going on, man? Great game? Agree about Duran Suarez

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 1>lights oh a positive comment about Duran here today lights

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Suarrez lights out I gotta adjust the settings. These disappear

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 1>too quick. Uh left kind of early. Going to Wysert

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 1>was questionable, but it worked in the end. Good bullpen day.

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>You know they got it done. Watson. You don't give

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a b run there late, But that's so okay, that's okay.

<v Speaker 1>a new sound. Well, I don't know, let me know.

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you like the home Run sound? I was thinking

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:41.320
<v Speaker 1>about maybe going for I don't know, some of the

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Fenway sounds a little bit maybe possibly not just like

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the home Run I don't know, maybe find some other things.

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Let me know if you like the home Run sound.

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Jacob in the chat. Always love listening, greatly appreciate your

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>honest opinions on everything and not just doing it for clicks.

<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you.

0:09:58.320 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 4>Man.

<v Speaker 1>I promise I'm not doing this for like I don't know,

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>like I would rather spend I mean, I think all

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>of you have seen like I would all be here

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.840
<v Speaker 1>for like hour and a half, two hours just rambling.

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>If you notice, I don't really post any shorts. I

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 1>don't post like any reels. Usually, I don't look for

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the the spicy takes. I don't look for the cliffs.

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I just like to talk. So yeah, I appreciate you

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 1>bringing that up, because that is something I'd rather talk

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.680
<v Speaker 1>here for two hours and at least try to get

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 1>my honest thoughts out instead of just trying to go

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 1>for a you know, some viral clip.

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:36.840

<v Speaker 1>Go ahead and leave me a voicemail if you want.

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure a lot of you got something to say

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 1>about the trade last night. Really quick. Let's just get

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to this, let's get to the post game here, and

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about Rangers Warz again. It was not a

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>long outing for Suarez here today, not a long outing,

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and that was kind of expected, right, He's been on

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the il for a little over a couple of weeks

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 1>at this point. But I feel like he looked pretty good.

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, mostly fastballs here today, fastball, tight pitches. He

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>worked in some breaking and off speed. He looked like

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 1>a guy that was just kind of getting back to

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 1>it here, right, leaning more into the fastballs, working on

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the location a little bit. Looked like almost like a

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.839
<v Speaker 1>spring training for him. But he struck out six along

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the way, Vladd and Lucas in the first inning. He

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 1>got var showing a double play in the second inning.

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Jimenez had a double in the third, but he got

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 1>a couple more strikeouts along with that. Fourth inning, Kirk

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and Springer had a base hit, but he struck out Vladden,

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>no komodo. Good day for Suarez, four innings, four hits,

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>six k's. Hey got the job done. Bullpen was great,

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Weisert Tyrone Slaton teaming up for three innings, Watson two

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>innings to finish it off, gave up a run. Good

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 1>day for the pitching staff overall. But taking a look

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 1>at the Red Sox offense and uh, I mean you

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 1>really just had yourself a few good innings of offense

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.359
<v Speaker 1>here today, ladies and gentlemen. In the third inning, Monasteria

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>with a base hit, another sack bunt from Carlos Nurviz.

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>These catchers for the Red Sox man Carlos Denvius, Connor Wong.

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>They are doing great with the bunts this year, doing great.

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 1>You gotta love it, you know. Long, Yeah, he is

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>hitting better this year, but you know he's not gonna

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.520
<v Speaker 1>be Shaye Langleiers by any means. Sorry to bring up

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:15.079
<v Speaker 1>the fact Shaye Langliers is no longer an option, Ladies

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:16.959
<v Speaker 1>and gentlemen. I didn't think he was gonna be anyway,

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:19.679
<v Speaker 1>but he is now out for a long time with

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a knee injury. Shaye Langley is not going anywhere, but Uh, yeah,

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna get you know, the big dangers from

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.559
<v Speaker 1>the catching crew. But they're doing a great job of

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 1>putting the bat on the ball. Carlos Nervius with a

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>down year, but they're just making it work even with

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the negatives this year, you know, Carlos Nirvius having a

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>down year. There's and you can even say, Sharon Duran, right,

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 1>there's still finding ways to make things work, still finding

0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 1>ways to be productive. You know what, Hey, do what

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you can, right, That's what I've loved a lot about

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 1>this team. They've made up for you know, coming into

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the year, where's the power gonna come from? Where we're

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna get the big dingers. Well, hey, hopefully me can

0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.839
<v Speaker 1>give you a couple of them, right, maybe another bat

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>too if they bring one in. But hey, I love

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.679
<v Speaker 1>that they're they're making up for that this year anyway.

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Nervizo the sack bunt, moves the runners over, Massip with

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the ground moves the runner over Massa with the ground out,

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 1>moves Monasterio over to third base. And here it comes

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 1>mister Setti, ladies and gentlemen, Rold moll Shart play hit into.

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:32.880
<v Speaker 3>A field of base.

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Hit that'll Chase in the run, he'll be held the

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.440
<v Speaker 4>first base, an ibi single. It's forty sixth run batted

0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 4>in Red Sox lead one nothing. How good is Sadan

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 4>been with two strikes this year?

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Did you see the match? A RaSE SETI continues to

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>have a great year. I'll keep saying it over and

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 1>over again. I think the guy is wildly underrated. Should

0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 1>have gone to the All Star Game from the start,

0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 1>should have went to the All Star Game last year.

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>But uh hey, well can you what else can you say?

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 1>The guy just continues to produce, both offensively and defensively.

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I also think I forgot to mention that yesterday said

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>he had a great catch in the outfield. I know

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Cees dominated, but at least he had that from yesterday, Okay,

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>said he's great. Fourth inning, Wilson with a walk, Durban

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 1>with the base hit. We'll talk about Durban here in

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit as well. Roamy with the sack bunt

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 1>moves him over. Here comes Jaron Duran and there you

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:33.760
<v Speaker 1>go in the.

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 4>Rank center and one run in here it comes Deban.

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.200
<v Speaker 4>He's around the scar and pen's a two run single.

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Dreana nothing, Boston, Jaron Duran, Like I said, down year,

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 1>but coming through here today, hopefully we're hitting a hot

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 1>stretch with Duran. Seventh inning, Duran comes up again, base

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 1>hit off reliever Brandon Fisher who came in for Gosman

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Monasteria with a walk, and here comes the Red Sox killer,

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Jami Jones in field in.

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 4>High fly ball left center field. That's deep back toward

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 4>the wall, and that ball's off the green. That's gonna

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.400
<v Speaker 4>score two. The Red Sox had a couple more on

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 4>a long drive off the wall by Jami Jones.

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Man, oh man, Jami Jones, who's fired up going into

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>second base there, he was all pumped up. This guy

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 1>loves Femway Park. You know who else loves Femway Park?

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Will you r brave?

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Two?

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 4>Swinging a high fly ball to left field, driving Pina,

0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 4>Go go back to the wall. He's gonna try and

0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 4>play it off the green. Another run is in. Had

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 4>a bray you scamper's in a second to run scoring

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 4>double to make it six to nothing.

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Find a run of the day for the Red Sox.

0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 1>But will you or bray you coming through? Hit a

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a stretch there, But what was he like?

0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.800
<v Speaker 1>For eighteen, I believe coming into the ab but Hey

0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 1>comes through with the double playing with the Gotta love it.

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 1>That was a sixth run of the day for the

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox. Again, the Blue Jays did score late, but

0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.920
<v Speaker 1>in the end, Red Sox win six to one. Good

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>day for the Red Sox. It's been just a great

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.680
<v Speaker 1>time for the Red Sox going back to the beginning

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>of July. Honestly, I mean, what an incredible month this

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.200
<v Speaker 1>has been. You had the win streak, You're winning series

0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 1>left and right, You're bringing a potential high upside bat

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 1>for this lineup, and you still got a week away

0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.199
<v Speaker 1>until the trade deadline. Things are just looking really good

0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 1>right now for the Red Sox. Man Oh Man Oh Phoenix,

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh for twenty that's right. I think what was it

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.120
<v Speaker 1>oh for eighteen coming into the game. Anyway, he wasn't

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.760
<v Speaker 1>hitting anything, but will you're good to see. But yeah,

0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 1>everything's looking really good for the Red Sox here right now,

0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:50.400
<v Speaker 1>ladies and gentlemen. You gotta love just I mean, obviously everything,

<v Speaker 1>we were here last night. I promise it won't be

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.720

<v Speaker 1>Alrighty, act, well, hold on, before I do get to

0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Curtis Mead, let's do a quick preview of the A

0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.440
<v Speaker 1>series coming up. We got another West Coast trip, ladies

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and gentlemen. I am sorry to report the bad news.

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.479
<v Speaker 1>We got some late games coming on, but hey, at

0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.920
<v Speaker 1>least they're winning games lately. I was afraid of this one.

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, Like, go back a month ago, I'm thinking,

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.400
<v Speaker 1>oh my goodness, we got these late games. I gotta

0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 1>do these postgame recaps when and the Red Sox are

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna be sellers, Like, oh, this is gonna be tough.

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 1>But now, hey, I'm pretty excited to do these. Pretty

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 1>excited pitching match ups for these ones. Peyton totally going

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 1>up against Jack Perkins in game one, Jake Bennett going

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:18.440
<v Speaker 1>up against Gage Jump in Game two. That's a very

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 1>fun pitching matchup right there. Gage Jump was one of

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the higher pitching prospects coming into this year. He's had

0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:28.760
<v Speaker 1>a couple of bumps and like all rookies do right.

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Jake Bennett did not have that status coming into the year,

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.240
<v Speaker 1>but he's obviously emerged as one of the best young

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.760
<v Speaker 1>pitchers in baseball this year. So that's a pretty fun

0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:42.200
<v Speaker 1>pitching matchup. Gotta love that. Patrick Sandoval going Game three

0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.479
<v Speaker 1>up against Jacob Lopez. Sandoval has been a little bumpy

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 1>over the first few outings since coming back off the IL.

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's see if he can get this tidied up a

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.160
<v Speaker 1>little bit more, hopefully go a little deeper into the game,

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:57.439
<v Speaker 1>and then for Game four. No announced starter for the

0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:59.639
<v Speaker 1>A's as of right now, but Sonny Gray looking for

0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 1>a bounce back performance. Unfortunately, he took his second loss

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:05.439
<v Speaker 1>of the year yesterday against the Blue Jays. He just

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't have it. He had no command, leaving breaking stuff

0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 1>over the plate. He was getting hit all over the place,

0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 1>easily his worst outing since Minnesota back in April. I'm

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 1>sorry to bring up the bad memories. I'm sorry. I

0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:20.640
<v Speaker 1>promise I don't I don't ever want to talk about

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:24.119
<v Speaker 1>that Twin series. That was awful. I just said, I

0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:25.680
<v Speaker 1>don't want to talk about the Twin series. But here

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I am still talking about the Twin series. But we're done,

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:33.480
<v Speaker 1>no more, no more Minnesota. But Sonny Gray hopefully, hopefully

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:37.760
<v Speaker 1>hoping for a bounce back performance. We will see now.

0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:41.119
<v Speaker 1>As for the A's when it comes to you know,

0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in the lineup. Obviously, Kurtz, this guy's

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 1>a monster. I've said it many times. He just makes

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:51.160
<v Speaker 1>me think of like a modern day Jason Giambi up there,

0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Like go back to Jason Giambi with the A's. He

0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:57.639
<v Speaker 1>makes me think of that. Kurtz is an absolute freak.

0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:00.400
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna be a tough ab so to str He's

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:02.480
<v Speaker 1>performing well with the bat this year. Jacob Wilson, this

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 1>guy's a contact machine. You know. Tommy White, they just

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.480
<v Speaker 1>called up recently. He's a fun bat. He was very

0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:11.439
<v Speaker 1>fun to watch in college. You know. If they've had

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:15.199
<v Speaker 1>some other guys stepping up this year as well, like

0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Henry Bolte. He was looking good at one point. Ops

0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:22.240
<v Speaker 1>has come down though they've had some injuries. You know,

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:25.359
<v Speaker 1>Shaye Langlers. We just said he's gonna be out with

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.159
<v Speaker 1>a knee injury for quite a while, so he's not

0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a trade candidate now. Zach Geloff got hurt

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a little while ago. He was having a good season,

0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:34.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, Brent Brooker, he had to get surgery on

0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:37.119
<v Speaker 1>his knee a little bit of ago. So this A's team,

0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 1>they've completely fallen apart. I mean they were looking at

0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.119
<v Speaker 1>one point, they were right there in the wildcard hunt,

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:47.800
<v Speaker 1>and I was saying, if they could find a way

0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 1>to add some pitching, man, this would be like a

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.960
<v Speaker 1>pretty strong as team. But unfortunately, the injuries. The Luis

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Evarino has been hurt too, because of the lack of pitching,

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.520
<v Speaker 1>because of the injuries, just completely fallen out of it.

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 1>You know. See you wonder could the A's look to

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:08.879
<v Speaker 1>make some moves at this trade deadline. I don't know,

0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's turned into a lost season pretty much.

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Obviously Langleiers isn't gonna get moved now. But could you see,

0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:18.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, there was a report a little bit ago.

0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember was it Hayman. I can't remember who

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>it was, but I swear I saw Tyler Sodastrom's name somewhere.

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Remember last year, Soda Strom was a trade candidate. He

0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:35.200
<v Speaker 1>was popping up for the Red Sox as a possibility,

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:37.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, like, I wonder if they looked to move.

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they they look to take advantage of his value

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 1>to try and get back some pitching. I don't like.

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:46.679
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if he's a name to pay attention to

0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 1>again because he came up last year. I know he

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 1>got the extension. What was that extension? It was a

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 1>seven year, eighty six million dollar deal at the start

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.600
<v Speaker 1>of this year. I don't think he gets moved because

0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 1>of that contract, but I don't know, just with how

0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:03.159
<v Speaker 1>things have gone there, I mean, could they look to

0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 1>cash in on that if they got back like a

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 1>good top of the rotation pitcher. So anyway, the A's

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:15.000
<v Speaker 1>obviously not playing great. Let's see how that goes. And

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:20.120
<v Speaker 1>also let me pull up really quick here, let's see

0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with the standings. Actually, do I have?

0:24:24.520 --> 0:24:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I got the graphic? Here we go taking a look

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 1>here in the wild card hunt. Right now, the Red

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Sox sitting in the second spot, fifty four and fifty,

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 1>a game and a half up on the Guardians who

0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 1>have lost five straight. So The Red Sox are sitting

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:45.719
<v Speaker 1>pretty comfortably right now. They're five behind the Yankees at

0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:49.200
<v Speaker 1>this point, still got a lot of season left. Why

0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 1>couldn't you go after that first division spot? Why couldn't

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 1>you go after? Maybe? Talk, I want to talk a

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:59.480
<v Speaker 1>little division maybe. Yeah, the Red Sox, they're in a

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:08.200
<v Speaker 1>comfortable spot right now, So let's talk. Curtis Meat. Curtis Meat.

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 1>This was the story of Boston here over the last

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean less than twenty four hours, eighteen hours, whatever,

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:19.200
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, I mean so again, if you did join

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:21.919
<v Speaker 1>me last night for the reaction, thank you for that. Again,

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 1>do apologize if that was a bit of a tough listen,

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I was just out of it last night. That whole

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 1>thing just took me by Some trades always take me

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 1>by surprise, but that one last night, I felt like

0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 1>I got punched in the face because I was not

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm never expecting trades, you know, unless you're at the deadline.

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 1>But this one last night, I'm like, oh, yeah, I

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>got the night off. We are good. I went out

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to you know, dinner last night, had had a good

0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:54.760
<v Speaker 1>date night last night. Man, I was I was winding

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 1>down and then bam, you get sketched. What are they?

0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 1>What was it from h from step brothers Pow pow

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:07.040
<v Speaker 1>right in the right in the face, Curtis Mead coming

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 1>to the Boston Red Sox. In the end, the Red

0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:12.959
<v Speaker 1>Sox needed a bat, plain and simple. We've talked about this,

0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:16.120
<v Speaker 1>there's no secret there but and the Nationals needed more

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:18.480
<v Speaker 1>starting pitching. I've said it many times in the past.

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Very thin on starting pitching and also just the I mean,

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:25.359
<v Speaker 1>they have a couple of guys in the system like

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Travis Acora, Jarl and Susana I believe he came back

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:32.640
<v Speaker 1>in the one Soda trade a few years ago, but

0:26:32.920 --> 0:26:35.960
<v Speaker 1>you needed more, especially major league ready guys. That rotation

0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:39.439
<v Speaker 1>is so thin, you know Cap Cavali Connley early that

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:41.240
<v Speaker 1>looks like a good one two punch. I think Travis

0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 1>a Kora, Jarl and Susana eventually once they succor I

0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 1>think is still out after Tommy John. But regardless, the

0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Nationals needed more young pitching, especially major league ready pitching.

0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:56.360
<v Speaker 1>And you got to think about it when it comes

0:26:56.359 --> 0:26:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to bats on the market, right, we've heard the name

0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:04.040
<v Speaker 1>zach Netto Peanya Angliers is now not available. Luisa Rise

0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:07.040
<v Speaker 1>obviously still out there. But if you're looking for like

0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:10.879
<v Speaker 1>a game changing kind of a bat or could possibly

0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 1>change the game with with high upside, there's not a

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:23.280
<v Speaker 1>lot that you could get without giving up some major,

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:27.479
<v Speaker 1>major prospect talent. Right, So, like talking about Neto, Right,

0:27:27.480 --> 0:27:29.280
<v Speaker 1>that's been a debate in Red Sox Land over the

0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:33.160
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years or last couple of days. Turned

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:37.199
<v Speaker 1>down the volume, you know, and we were seeing a

0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:39.520
<v Speaker 1>report that you know, Franklin, Arius might have to be

0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 1>included in that conversation, right, which I don't think the

0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox would give up Arius and that kind of

0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:47.240
<v Speaker 1>a deal. But then you think, okay, maybe yeah, I

0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:49.080
<v Speaker 1>mean teams are obviously going to ask for a guy

0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:50.879
<v Speaker 1>like that, especially at this time of the year. No,

0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 1>we don't got to move Neto, we don't got to

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 1>move Pain yet, we'll talk about it if you're willing

0:27:55.320 --> 0:28:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to include Arius. Who knows, maybe that starts to kind

0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:04.600
<v Speaker 1>of lose its grip over the next week or so,

0:28:04.800 --> 0:28:07.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe that comes down a little bit. Right, that's negotiations.

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:10.440
<v Speaker 1>But if you think about it from Craig's point of view,

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:13.360
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be tough to acquire a guy that could

0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:18.119
<v Speaker 1>be a game changer for your lineup. Now, my thinking

0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:20.920
<v Speaker 1>is he was probably looking at the market, like always,

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the market dictates everything. You got to play with the

0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:27.800
<v Speaker 1>cards that are dealt. It's very and you've seen this

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot over the past, where he probably said, you

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 1>know what, instead of looking for a guy at the

0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:36.720
<v Speaker 1>top of the market, instead of spending the big assets

0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to go get that guy like Zach Netto, for example,

0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 1>why don't we go for a guy that's trending up,

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:46.080
<v Speaker 1>that maybe is not getting a whole bunch of eyeballs

0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 1>on him, but he's just quietly having a really good year.

0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:52.000
<v Speaker 1>And you take a look at where Mead was in Washington,

0:28:52.720 --> 0:28:56.240
<v Speaker 1>James Wood, cj Abrams both having MVP caliber years when

0:28:56.280 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 1>you were you ever hearing about Curtis Mead, But here

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:04.560
<v Speaker 1>he was, you know, looking at offensive rankings. Guy's doing

0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:07.640
<v Speaker 1>great over there. He is, I believe he's top twenty

0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:11.640
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to io percentage, great metrics. But you

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:13.960
<v Speaker 1>weren't hearing anything about him. You're hearing about James Wood,

0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 1>c j Abrams, no trade to let no list out there,

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:24.320
<v Speaker 1>even passings list, no list had Curtis beed right. So

0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 1>that's where Bresla was like, you know what, let's tap

0:29:27.320 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 1>into that, Let's go for the guy that's trending. And

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:32.800
<v Speaker 1>we've seen examples of this over the past.

0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 3>You see.

0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:38.560
<v Speaker 1>The more, I feel like you see it more with

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the smaller market teams because they have to kind of

0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:44.400
<v Speaker 1>they got to think outside the box, right, with a

0:29:44.400 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff because you know, they don't got those

0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:49.040
<v Speaker 1>all the money in the world, so they got to

0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:53.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of dig a little bit. And you've seen moves

0:29:53.720 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 1>where teams will try to grab those guys that are

0:29:56.760 --> 0:30:02.240
<v Speaker 1>trending up before they become like, you know, like these

0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:05.320
<v Speaker 1>top guys on the market, right estoc Paratus go back

0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:07.440
<v Speaker 1>to when he was with Detroit. He's kind of he

0:30:07.520 --> 0:30:09.640
<v Speaker 1>was bouncing back and forth between the miners and the

0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.040
<v Speaker 1>majors at that point back in twenty twenty one. He

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:14.600
<v Speaker 1>was showing some really good plate discipline at the time,

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:16.640
<v Speaker 1>but you felt like you could tap and do more

0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:20.160
<v Speaker 1>with the bat, especially the battle ball profile. The Rays.

0:30:20.680 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they saw an opportunity there where like, hey,

0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:25.840
<v Speaker 1>this guy gets on bass, like he does pretty good.

0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:29.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's young. Why don't we make a move

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:33.000
<v Speaker 1>for him and we can take advantage of that trending

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 1>of him trending up. And it also just happened to

0:30:36.880 --> 0:30:40.480
<v Speaker 1>be where Detroit they were looking for more immediate offense

0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:43.800
<v Speaker 1>at the time, they bring in Austin Meadows, right, so

0:30:45.200 --> 0:30:47.440
<v Speaker 1>you go go back to a little before that, right

0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:51.960
<v Speaker 1>YONDI Diaz the Indians at the time, but a guy

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 1>that was showing really good things, had good metrics at

0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>the time. But they had a lot of guys in

0:30:56.880 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the mix. You had like Jose Ramirez, right, I think

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 1>you had Carlos Santana in the mix as well, if

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I remember correctly. So, like you know, for a raised team,

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:09.360
<v Speaker 1>they're like, okay, well, I mean he's not getting like

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:11.560
<v Speaker 1>a ton of playing time, but he's playing well, so

0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:15.680
<v Speaker 1>let's go after him before he really like emerges as

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:19.040
<v Speaker 1>this you know, big name. Go back even a little further,

0:31:19.080 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I think you could even say, and these are just

0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:23.480
<v Speaker 1>a few examples. There's plenty of them over the years,

0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 1>but just the ones that came to mind. Jose Batista.

0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Like Jose Batista, granted he was having a lot of

0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:34.600
<v Speaker 1>struggles early in his career, but there were things where,

0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, like a guy that could hit the ball

0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:42.240
<v Speaker 1>pretty hard, you know, he showed some okay qualities but

0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:44.160
<v Speaker 1>you felt like you could tap into it. Why do

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 1>you think teams would pick him up constantly? He was

0:31:46.480 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 1>going around all these teams because teams saw a potential

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:54.280
<v Speaker 1>with him and the Blue Jays eventually they got they

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:56.240
<v Speaker 1>got lucky there and they won out and they made

0:31:56.240 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a couple of tweaks with him, and look at the

0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:02.080
<v Speaker 1>star that he became. Right. So a lot of times,

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of those good moves come from the guys

0:32:06.560 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 1>that you're not fully expecting. And I wonder if Mead

0:32:09.200 --> 0:32:11.800
<v Speaker 1>could fit into this category. And I think that's basically

0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Craig read the market. I think he just saw an

0:32:15.480 --> 0:32:19.320
<v Speaker 1>opportunity here and obviously the Nationals they need pitching, and

0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:21.880
<v Speaker 1>they lined up perfectly. Now, I also want to mention

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:28.080
<v Speaker 1>this over on Baseball Trade Values. I actually had a

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 1>conversation with John Bitzer of Baseball Trade Values about this,

0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:37.400
<v Speaker 1>because value wise surplus trade value wise not the end

0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:40.880
<v Speaker 1>all be all. Numbers are numbers, that's only half the battle.

0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Philosophy is the other half of the battle, right, But

0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:46.520
<v Speaker 1>value wise, this was clearly a win for the Nationals.

0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Why because Connie Early is a starting pitcher that has

0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of value, a lot of control, left five

0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:57.280
<v Speaker 1>more years plus and he's shown some good things, shows

0:32:57.280 --> 0:33:00.200
<v Speaker 1>a good floor. It was also one of the higher

0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:02.960
<v Speaker 1>pitching prospects this year. Coming into the year, Curtis Mead

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 1>was also a higher ranked prospect at one point a

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:09.000
<v Speaker 1>few years ago, he was in the fifty range. I

0:33:09.040 --> 0:33:13.200
<v Speaker 1>believe he was as high as like thirty five or

0:33:13.280 --> 0:33:16.760
<v Speaker 1>like thirty four, thirty three somewhere in there. I believe,

0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:18.760
<v Speaker 1>back in like twenty twenty three. But a guy that

0:33:18.800 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 1>hadn't fully found his way the Rays, I don't know,

0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:24.520
<v Speaker 1>they just kind of gave up on him. He went

0:33:24.560 --> 0:33:26.600
<v Speaker 1>to the White Sox, couldn't really figure it out there.

0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:29.760
<v Speaker 1>But then with the Nationals he made a couple of tweaks,

0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:32.400
<v Speaker 1>made something. I believe there was an old hitting coach

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:36.320
<v Speaker 1>in the minor leagues that was with the Rays when

0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:39.080
<v Speaker 1>he was coming up, and he's with Washington now and

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:42.360
<v Speaker 1>they connected back again and they got to work and

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 1>they figured it out. So but overall, Mead his surplus

0:33:47.080 --> 0:33:49.360
<v Speaker 1>value is not going to be very high because he

0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:54.640
<v Speaker 1>just hasn't shown anything prior to this year. But like

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I said, trending up, something has clicked this year now.

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:02.560
<v Speaker 1>As you can see here, this is about a twenty

0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:08.320
<v Speaker 1>million dollars surplus value difference. However, there is a slight

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:15.600
<v Speaker 1>mistake here. Let me actually pull up Curtis Meade. Now,

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:19.400
<v Speaker 1>as you can see, he's not a free agent until

0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:25.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirty one, so you got him for twenty seven eight,

0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:28.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine, twenty thirty, so you have him for four

0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 1>more years after this season. Over on Baseball trade values,

0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:38.320
<v Speaker 1>they actually made a slight mistake. This was posted yesterday.

0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:41.680
<v Speaker 1>By the way, they have him at three point they

0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:44.160
<v Speaker 1>have him at about three and a half years of control.

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:47.479
<v Speaker 1>So that's an error on that part on their part,

0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:51.359
<v Speaker 1>and I talked to John about that today. So once

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:55.080
<v Speaker 1>you add another year of control, that's gonna bump his

0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:57.880
<v Speaker 1>value up even more. Now you are still a way

0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:02.319
<v Speaker 1>a bit of part, I believe when you add that

0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:05.600
<v Speaker 1>extra year of control. I mean, if I were to

0:35:05.640 --> 0:35:10.320
<v Speaker 1>just do the quick math, they had him at thirty

0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:15.479
<v Speaker 1>three for the field value, Divide that by three point four,

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:18.120
<v Speaker 1>so I few times that by four point four. That

0:35:18.160 --> 0:35:22.799
<v Speaker 1>would go up to forty two point seven. So if

0:35:22.840 --> 0:35:26.920
<v Speaker 1>you minus twenty one point seven, that's about a twenty

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:33.480
<v Speaker 1>million dollars surplus. So this would actually get approved by

0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:38.920
<v Speaker 1>their simulator. Not I'm not trying to to the horn

0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:43.400
<v Speaker 1>of BTV. I'm just explaining why there was a difference

0:35:44.080 --> 0:35:46.640
<v Speaker 1>last night, because again they goofed up on the years

0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 1>of control. That was just an error on their part.

0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:52.680
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, this is value wised. This is actually closer

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:59.240
<v Speaker 1>than you would think. So just pointing that out now.

0:35:59.680 --> 0:36:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Like we said last night with Curtis Mead, the metrics

0:36:04.800 --> 0:36:08.080
<v Speaker 1>look very good. They're looking there's not a lot of

0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:10.560
<v Speaker 1>weaknesses here. I mean, the expected numbers look good. The

0:36:10.560 --> 0:36:12.399
<v Speaker 1>plate discipline looks good. A guy that makes a lot

0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:15.799
<v Speaker 1>of contact, he doesn't swing and miss. He's in the

0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:18.000
<v Speaker 1>middle range when it comes to the batter ball profile.

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:22.240
<v Speaker 1>But that's where he fits into the Red Sox organization

0:36:22.440 --> 0:36:24.439
<v Speaker 1>very well. What have the Red Sox done well at

0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 1>over the last couple of years, last few years, increasing

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:32.359
<v Speaker 1>bat speed, getting more exit vlow They have shown time

0:36:32.400 --> 0:36:35.839
<v Speaker 1>and time again they're good at that. Wilson Contreras, Look

0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:38.360
<v Speaker 1>what he's done this year they got he was already

0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:40.319
<v Speaker 1>he already had pretty good bat speed before they got

0:36:40.320 --> 0:36:42.400
<v Speaker 1>even more out of them. And look what kind of

0:36:42.440 --> 0:36:44.839
<v Speaker 1>the year he's having bad speed. Isn't the und all

0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 1>be all but I mean, the harder you can hit

0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:52.279
<v Speaker 1>the ball, more probability you're gonna have some success. So, yeah,

0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Curtis Mead, this is I again, time will tell you

0:36:56.040 --> 0:36:59.360
<v Speaker 1>never know, it's not just about the metrics. Who knows

0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:03.080
<v Speaker 1>he comes to ball and you know, there's always the possibility,

0:37:04.160 --> 0:37:07.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe you don't line up exactly when it

0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:13.080
<v Speaker 1>comes to hitting, coaches and whatever. Of course, of course

0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:16.960
<v Speaker 1>something could go wrong. Obviously that's that's anything. That's just

0:37:17.000 --> 0:37:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the human and the human element of it. But if

0:37:20.200 --> 0:37:24.520
<v Speaker 1>everything goes accordingly and he comes in, you keep doing

0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:28.319
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing from Washington, but you can add a

0:37:28.360 --> 0:37:32.560
<v Speaker 1>bit more here. You got a potential like game changing

0:37:32.640 --> 0:37:35.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of a bat for the middle of the order. Potentially,

0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:39.120
<v Speaker 1>That's that's a big word here, okay, because you never know.

0:37:39.840 --> 0:37:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully things line up, the stars aligne and you could

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:47.960
<v Speaker 1>get even more out of him. So again you're taking

0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:51.640
<v Speaker 1>a chance, you are giving up high floor with the pitching,

0:37:52.000 --> 0:37:54.920
<v Speaker 1>but it's coming from a surplus Jake bet If Jake

0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Bennett didn't emerge this year, I don't know if you

0:37:57.160 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 1>make this train. But because as he did, and Suarez

0:38:02.040 --> 0:38:04.880
<v Speaker 1>has really worked out minus a couple of injuries. Sonny's

0:38:04.920 --> 0:38:09.759
<v Speaker 1>been good, totally's obviously busted out this year, you know,

0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 1>and you got and you still have I insin down

0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:15.040
<v Speaker 1>to the minors two getting closer, So like you've you

0:38:15.080 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 1>could make this move right, And yeah, it stinks because

0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:19.759
<v Speaker 1>I like Connolly early. He's a guy that seems like

0:38:19.880 --> 0:38:22.600
<v Speaker 1>he's got a really good head on his shoulders. He's

0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:25.560
<v Speaker 1>obviously shown a lot of potential on the mound. But

0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:29.799
<v Speaker 1>this was a moment where the Red Sox felt, you

0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:33.640
<v Speaker 1>know what, this is our shot to take a chance here.

0:38:33.640 --> 0:38:38.200
<v Speaker 1>There's a bit of risk, of course, but when you're

0:38:38.200 --> 0:38:41.040
<v Speaker 1>looking for more upside with the offense, I think it's

0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:43.279
<v Speaker 1>a risk worth taking, especially if you are dealing it

0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:46.440
<v Speaker 1>from a surplus, if you're dealing it from something where

0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 1>if it left you a little thin in an area

0:38:49.480 --> 0:38:55.880
<v Speaker 1>like okay, yeah, that's that's easier to question. But in

0:38:55.920 --> 0:38:59.239
<v Speaker 1>this case, I'm okay with it. Let's see how it

0:38:59.239 --> 0:39:04.000
<v Speaker 1>turns out. Now, where is Curtis Mead going to play?

0:39:05.000 --> 0:39:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Where is he going to play? Well, we talked about

0:39:08.719 --> 0:39:12.759
<v Speaker 1>this last night. I was saying, I see him dhing

0:39:12.800 --> 0:39:15.840
<v Speaker 1>more often. That's where I was last night. I was

0:39:15.920 --> 0:39:17.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of looking at where he had played this year,

0:39:17.880 --> 0:39:19.839
<v Speaker 1>I said, oh, okay, he's played a little second base, he's

0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:23.960
<v Speaker 1>mostly played third, he's even played some first. But when

0:39:23.960 --> 0:39:28.239
<v Speaker 1>you look at the numbers, when you go into how

0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:32.600
<v Speaker 1>he's done at each position over the years, he's actually

0:39:32.600 --> 0:39:36.600
<v Speaker 1>shown some pretty good things at second base. He hasn't

0:39:36.600 --> 0:39:41.759
<v Speaker 1>played there a lot. When he did play there the

0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:44.759
<v Speaker 1>most in his career, it was back in twenty twenty four.

0:39:45.480 --> 0:39:47.319
<v Speaker 1>It was one hundred and fifty nine innings, so it's

0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:51.440
<v Speaker 1>not a lot. He didn't do great in that sample,

0:39:51.880 --> 0:39:54.759
<v Speaker 1>but the next year he did show some improvements. It

0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:57.640
<v Speaker 1>was even smaller than the year prior, but he had

0:39:57.640 --> 0:40:00.279
<v Speaker 1>two defensive runs saved, he had a two run valund you,

0:40:01.480 --> 0:40:03.799
<v Speaker 1>and then he barely He's played there a little bit

0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:06.520
<v Speaker 1>this year with the Nationals, and he's gotten the job done.

0:40:07.400 --> 0:40:11.319
<v Speaker 1>So Chad Tracy's saying today, I believe Craig Brett, who

0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:15.799
<v Speaker 1>will listen to in just a second, that looking like

0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:17.879
<v Speaker 1>second base is going to be where they're gonna give

0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:21.200
<v Speaker 1>him some run. And that makes sense, right because second

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:23.799
<v Speaker 1>base has been you know, Siegler obviously has come up

0:40:23.800 --> 0:40:26.919
<v Speaker 1>and done some great things, but he's been a little

0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:30.360
<v Speaker 1>inconsistent as of late great game the other night, but

0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:35.200
<v Speaker 1>before that he had hit a pretty bad stretch. So

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:38.960
<v Speaker 1>at least with this it gives you and with the

0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:41.799
<v Speaker 1>way Meat is hitting this year, it gives you a

0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:46.160
<v Speaker 1>little little something, right, gives you a little bit more

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:49.920
<v Speaker 1>insurance there. I would say, yeah, second base for sure?

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Why not? I say, But like Chad Tracy said one

0:40:55.400 --> 0:40:56.960
<v Speaker 1>more line that he said, it's something they're going to

0:40:57.080 --> 0:41:00.000
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye on. It's not he's not a guarantee.

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Heed like, Okay, you're gonna put him a second base

0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:05.359
<v Speaker 1>You're good, Like Arise, with how he's played this year

0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:07.200
<v Speaker 1>at second base, you put him there. You don't worry

0:41:07.200 --> 0:41:10.839
<v Speaker 1>about it, right, you got to monitor it. I am

0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:15.839
<v Speaker 1>still under the inclination that you'll again it comes down

0:41:15.840 --> 0:41:17.640
<v Speaker 1>to what, you know, what o their moves could they make?

0:41:18.360 --> 0:41:21.920
<v Speaker 1>But I do feel like he probably fits better at

0:41:22.000 --> 0:41:25.080
<v Speaker 1>DH most of the time. But that's where the Red

0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Sox have really tapped in. They play to the matchups.

0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:31.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, Yeah, you can see Masa dhing like I

0:41:31.640 --> 0:41:34.560
<v Speaker 1>could say here, when Masa is in the lineup, you

0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:40.400
<v Speaker 1>can see Mead at second base. But if you have

0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Masa not in the lineup that day. That's where you

0:41:43.200 --> 0:41:45.920
<v Speaker 1>could have me dhing and then you could have Seguler

0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:49.200
<v Speaker 1>playing second base. So depending on how that works out,

0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:52.319
<v Speaker 1>that's where that's what I think they're going to do.

0:41:53.440 --> 0:41:57.239
<v Speaker 1>We'll see either way you are. You are bringing in

0:41:57.320 --> 0:42:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the bat of mister Curtis Mead. Now we are going

0:42:02.080 --> 0:42:06.719
<v Speaker 1>to listen to Craig Breslo just a little bit before

0:42:06.719 --> 0:42:10.080
<v Speaker 1>we do, though, I think we had another supershat, one

0:42:10.360 --> 0:42:13.680
<v Speaker 1>more super chat. What do we got? How many home

0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:17.920
<v Speaker 1>runs does meat have in sacrient Let me fix this?

0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:26.440
<v Speaker 1>How many home runs does Mead have in Sacramento?

0:42:26.520 --> 0:42:27.000
<v Speaker 3>This series?

0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh you know, I actually that didn't even dawn on me.

0:42:29.760 --> 0:42:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Sacramento it's a home run haven. Oh man, I don't know.

0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:38.520
<v Speaker 1>That'd be pretty electric comes in honestly, Like, what would

0:42:38.560 --> 0:42:42.239
<v Speaker 1>you be surprised with how the mojo has been over

0:42:42.280 --> 0:42:45.279
<v Speaker 1>the last month with all the good vibes? Are we

0:42:45.320 --> 0:42:47.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be surprised if Curtis Mead hits a homer

0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:52.840
<v Speaker 1>in his first ab and going into Sacramento? Would not

0:42:52.920 --> 0:42:55.879
<v Speaker 1>be surprised in the slightest, especially in a home run

0:42:55.920 --> 0:42:59.480
<v Speaker 1>haven like that. We'll see, But let's take a listen

0:42:59.520 --> 0:43:03.960
<v Speaker 1>here Craig Breslo had a few things to say here today.

0:43:10.000 --> 0:43:14.120
<v Speaker 5>You know, a lot of trade conversations and concepts kind

0:43:14.160 --> 0:43:17.320
<v Speaker 5>of drag out over the course of days, weeks, months.

0:43:17.320 --> 0:43:20.640
<v Speaker 5>Even this one came together pretty quickly. I think was

0:43:20.680 --> 0:43:24.200
<v Speaker 5>a good opportunity for each team to you know, to

0:43:24.200 --> 0:43:25.200
<v Speaker 5>to meet some objectives.

0:43:25.480 --> 0:43:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:43:26.440 --> 0:43:29.320
<v Speaker 5>And so there wasn't a whole lot of back and forth,

0:43:30.000 --> 0:43:31.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, outside of making sure that we did as

0:43:32.000 --> 0:43:34.960
<v Speaker 5>much work as we possibly could and and you know, god,

0:43:35.000 --> 0:43:37.160
<v Speaker 5>as comfortable as as we could.

0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:43:37.520 --> 0:43:40.560
<v Speaker 5>Because anytime you give up a player like Connolly Early,

0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:49.160
<v Speaker 5>oh sorry one second, our roster, it's it's really tough.

0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:52.920
<v Speaker 5>But looking at our roster, looking at our needs, we

0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:55.040
<v Speaker 5>felt like this was something that that makes us better.

0:43:56.640 --> 0:43:59.000
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I mean, like we've talked, you know, Connley

0:43:59.040 --> 0:44:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Early was is not someone you give up easily, so

0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:04.600
<v Speaker 1>especially some of the high floor that's shown you a

0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:07.319
<v Speaker 1>lot that I mean, he started a postseason game for

0:44:07.360 --> 0:44:09.360
<v Speaker 1>you last year. The fact that he went out there

0:44:09.640 --> 0:44:13.160
<v Speaker 1>and he was mentally holding it down in just an

0:44:13.239 --> 0:44:16.160
<v Speaker 1>environment like that, you know, and remember you had you

0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:18.120
<v Speaker 1>had some bad defense that that didn't help you out

0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:20.600
<v Speaker 1>in that one. If you didn't have those couple of

0:44:20.680 --> 0:44:24.200
<v Speaker 1>defensive miscues. I mean, holy cow, Early could have had

0:44:24.200 --> 0:44:26.799
<v Speaker 1>a really good performance. So not easy to give him up,

0:44:26.800 --> 0:44:27.200
<v Speaker 1>of course.

0:44:31.920 --> 0:44:35.120
<v Speaker 5>Sure, you know, I think we had a lot of

0:44:35.120 --> 0:44:37.359
<v Speaker 5>information available to us. There was you know, the kind

0:44:37.400 --> 0:44:41.040
<v Speaker 5>of objective information that we have some some live looks

0:44:41.080 --> 0:44:45.440
<v Speaker 5>from from scouts and scouting reports, talking to the coaches here. Uh,

0:44:45.680 --> 0:44:49.080
<v Speaker 5>and you know, it does seem like there were meaningful

0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:53.720
<v Speaker 5>changes to uh, to his setup where he was holding

0:44:53.760 --> 0:44:57.000
<v Speaker 5>his hands, to his bat path, to his to his stride,

0:44:57.840 --> 0:45:00.279
<v Speaker 5>you know, to to where he's consistently getting to more damage.

0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:04.080
<v Speaker 5>He's always had good back to ball skills, He's never

0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:07.960
<v Speaker 5>really chased, He's doesn't swing and miss a ton, has

0:45:07.960 --> 0:45:09.680
<v Speaker 5>had good bat speed, and then kind of put it

0:45:09.719 --> 0:45:11.359
<v Speaker 5>all together, but put it all together in a way

0:45:11.360 --> 0:45:15.080
<v Speaker 5>that that we think is real and sticky. So we

0:45:15.200 --> 0:45:18.000
<v Speaker 5>feel like that the way that he's performed over the

0:45:18.080 --> 0:45:20.960
<v Speaker 5>last few months is actually the guy that that we're getting.

0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So again, you know, they're they are they're taking

0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:30.560
<v Speaker 1>advantage of a guy that has They're taking advantage of

0:45:30.600 --> 0:45:34.840
<v Speaker 1>a situation where a guy like Mead has figured it

0:45:34.840 --> 0:45:38.239
<v Speaker 1>out at least right now, you know there, Yeah, there

0:45:38.320 --> 0:45:41.480
<v Speaker 1>is there is risk here, but they're buying it. And

0:45:41.560 --> 0:45:44.640
<v Speaker 1>but here's the thing when you think about over the years,

0:45:46.000 --> 0:45:49.759
<v Speaker 1>when you think about it, you know guys that have

0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:52.080
<v Speaker 1>those good bats of ball skills, that have that good

0:45:52.080 --> 0:45:55.400
<v Speaker 1>plate discipline that can work counts time and time again.

0:45:55.440 --> 0:45:58.960
<v Speaker 1>You've seen those guys have success over their careers when

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:01.839
<v Speaker 1>they have that understanding of a strike zone, when when

0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:05.520
<v Speaker 1>they have good picture recognition right when they just kind

0:46:05.560 --> 0:46:09.200
<v Speaker 1>of are able to work those counts better. You know,

0:46:09.840 --> 0:46:12.440
<v Speaker 1>those guys, I feel like from more often than not,

0:46:13.160 --> 0:46:15.120
<v Speaker 1>they tend to have more success. And I think that's

0:46:15.160 --> 0:46:18.480
<v Speaker 1>what the Red Sox they believe here. And he just

0:46:18.560 --> 0:46:21.160
<v Speaker 1>mentioned that saying, you know, he's always been a guy

0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:25.520
<v Speaker 1>that's you know, had good bats of ball skills. So

0:46:25.640 --> 0:46:28.160
<v Speaker 1>let me actually, I don't think I'm gonna get flagged

0:46:29.160 --> 0:46:35.359
<v Speaker 1>if I if I play this. Yeah, so I think

0:46:35.400 --> 0:46:37.160
<v Speaker 1>we'll be okay because this is on Neesson.

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:42.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so, you know, I think right out of the gates,

0:46:42.040 --> 0:46:44.280
<v Speaker 5>the plan is for me to get work at second,

0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:48.120
<v Speaker 5>for Durban to stay at third. We'll put that in

0:46:48.120 --> 0:46:52.520
<v Speaker 5>in TRACE's hands. But I know Trace has talked to

0:46:52.520 --> 0:46:56.239
<v Speaker 5>to durb He's talked to Siegler. I've talked to Curtis,

0:46:56.920 --> 0:46:59.799
<v Speaker 5>and the one thing that all three have said is

0:47:00.080 --> 0:47:02.000
<v Speaker 5>we are willing to do whatever is best for the team.

0:47:04.360 --> 0:47:09.440
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's funny because we had the conversation yesterday.

0:47:10.040 --> 0:47:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Durbin said that he's in funny. It was really funny timing.

0:47:14.120 --> 0:47:18.040
<v Speaker 1>He said yesterday that he was willing to move wherever.

0:47:18.360 --> 0:47:20.560
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I think right now this is kind of

0:47:20.600 --> 0:47:22.839
<v Speaker 1>the way you go and then you you mix and match.

0:47:22.880 --> 0:47:26.080
<v Speaker 1>You d h him. But what I also like about

0:47:26.080 --> 0:47:29.840
<v Speaker 1>that is that he is giving it to Chad Tracy.

0:47:29.880 --> 0:47:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Chad Tracy just, first off, can we

0:47:34.920 --> 0:47:37.319
<v Speaker 1>please get an extension worked out with Shag Tracy? Like,

0:47:37.400 --> 0:47:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I think he has more than earned a contract extension

0:47:41.640 --> 0:47:43.480
<v Speaker 1>at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if they're writing

0:47:43.560 --> 0:47:46.399
<v Speaker 1>up the details of or you know, trying to get

0:47:46.440 --> 0:47:49.319
<v Speaker 1>some kind of negotiations going. I wouldn't be surprised about that.

0:47:49.360 --> 0:47:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the guy has clearly done a great job,

0:47:52.200 --> 0:47:54.920
<v Speaker 1>and that, to me, I think is a good sign saying,

0:47:54.960 --> 0:47:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, not just not just giving him that decision,

0:47:59.320 --> 0:48:01.920
<v Speaker 1>but openly saying it, saying we're gonna put that in

0:48:01.960 --> 0:48:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Tracy's hands. So I think that's that's a good sign

0:48:05.960 --> 0:48:08.520
<v Speaker 1>for a possible extension down the road.

0:48:11.760 --> 0:48:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Now, we'll still work through that.

0:48:13.080 --> 0:48:16.920
<v Speaker 5>Obviously, it's been a whirlwind twelve hours or so for

0:48:16.920 --> 0:48:20.080
<v Speaker 5>for all parties, So we'll kind of make sure we

0:48:20.120 --> 0:48:23.239
<v Speaker 5>get Curtis here. I think you schedule to travel later

0:48:23.280 --> 0:48:25.920
<v Speaker 5>in the day, not in time for today's game, and

0:48:25.920 --> 0:48:27.520
<v Speaker 5>then we'll figure out what the corresponding move is.

0:48:28.640 --> 0:48:32.880
<v Speaker 1>So he's talking there, if someone asked him, what was

0:48:32.920 --> 0:48:36.600
<v Speaker 1>the corresponding move going to be, my guess is it's

0:48:36.640 --> 0:48:39.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna be I think it's gonna be Shang, you know,

0:48:39.480 --> 0:48:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and you just kind of well, then again, I don't know,

0:48:42.040 --> 0:48:48.279
<v Speaker 1>you think about it too with you know Monasterio, right,

0:48:48.320 --> 0:48:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, are you okay with putting him at short

0:48:54.440 --> 0:48:55.080
<v Speaker 1>every day?

0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:55.840
<v Speaker 5>You know?

0:48:56.040 --> 0:48:58.799
<v Speaker 1>It's I don't know, I'm not sure about that one.

0:48:58.840 --> 0:49:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if I'm looking here, I mean, I guess

0:49:03.600 --> 0:49:05.960
<v Speaker 1>you know you could do that for the time being.

0:49:06.920 --> 0:49:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Another also another factor is Chang is a lefty, So

0:49:09.080 --> 0:49:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that comes into play or not,

0:49:11.800 --> 0:49:15.279
<v Speaker 1>but it's really interesting. My guess would be Chang. But

0:49:15.320 --> 0:49:19.440
<v Speaker 1>then you're you're you're full of righty's. Well, actually, no, no,

0:49:19.520 --> 0:49:21.600
<v Speaker 1>because if you and then you Seeglue, I take that back.

0:49:21.640 --> 0:49:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Seeglue would go to the bench more often as the

0:49:24.520 --> 0:49:29.080
<v Speaker 1>switch guy. So I would probably lean towards Chang. I

0:49:29.080 --> 0:49:32.840
<v Speaker 1>could be wrong, who knows, I mean, could there be

0:49:34.600 --> 0:49:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Like, do do you get a d Like,

0:49:36.800 --> 0:49:40.960
<v Speaker 1>do you get a DFA somewhere? I would think, you know,

0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:44.759
<v Speaker 1>obviously romy he's in the infield, Chang's in the infield.

0:49:45.200 --> 0:49:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I did. I did think last night maybe Jamike Jones,

0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:53.560
<v Speaker 1>but you know, you kind of need another outfielder out there.

0:49:54.880 --> 0:49:56.919
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be interesting, Like I don't know, I've seen

0:49:56.960 --> 0:50:00.799
<v Speaker 1>people mentioned you know, could this be, you know, a

0:50:00.880 --> 0:50:04.280
<v Speaker 1>DFA for Masa or could you could they be working

0:50:04.320 --> 0:50:07.800
<v Speaker 1>on a trade behind the scenes like with Masa? Possibly,

0:50:08.080 --> 0:50:12.800
<v Speaker 1>but he's been hitting really well for you, So I

0:50:12.840 --> 0:50:17.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I think I even saw somewhere too, you know,

0:50:17.680 --> 0:50:20.239
<v Speaker 1>could you find a way to move Duran and then

0:50:20.320 --> 0:50:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you know Masa goes out to left? You know, I

0:50:22.600 --> 0:50:24.880
<v Speaker 1>think there's a whole bunch of ideas out there of

0:50:24.880 --> 0:50:26.000
<v Speaker 1>how you could you do this?

0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:50:28.920 --> 0:50:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Would they go with a five man bench?

0:50:31.600 --> 0:50:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about that, so I don't know. It's interesting.

0:50:35.600 --> 0:50:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it's either my guess is chang. But then again,

0:50:43.440 --> 0:50:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean that pretty much means like Monasterio is your

0:50:47.680 --> 0:50:51.480
<v Speaker 1>shortstop and the story is going to be coming back eventually.

0:50:54.560 --> 0:50:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know's it's gonna be. Really, I feel like

0:50:57.120 --> 0:50:59.759
<v Speaker 1>you could go a whole bunch of different ways with this.

0:51:00.200 --> 0:51:04.759
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting, it's interesting, super chat swingman, Lou, what's going

0:51:04.800 --> 0:51:06.480
<v Speaker 1>on for an nine and nine Robbie? Even if Mead

0:51:06.560 --> 0:51:08.319
<v Speaker 1>goes off, this is an f of a trade. If

0:51:08.320 --> 0:51:11.359
<v Speaker 1>we would have gotten prospects all so cool, but one

0:51:11.400 --> 0:51:12.960
<v Speaker 1>for one is an awful trade. I am going to

0:51:13.000 --> 0:51:17.080
<v Speaker 1>disagree with that, Lou. I do understand where you're coming from.

0:51:17.480 --> 0:51:20.600
<v Speaker 1>But again, I think when you think about that, there's

0:51:20.600 --> 0:51:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a need for this lineup, the need, the need for Mead.

0:51:25.160 --> 0:51:27.960
<v Speaker 1>You had a need for Mead. You needed something, And

0:51:28.560 --> 0:51:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I am sure they tried other avenues, right And if

0:51:33.080 --> 0:51:36.160
<v Speaker 1>they got the sense that realistically you would have to

0:51:36.160 --> 0:51:40.040
<v Speaker 1>give up Arius to get Netto or whoever, then I

0:51:40.080 --> 0:51:43.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think this is really a bad pivot. Obviously, because

0:51:43.719 --> 0:51:46.480
<v Speaker 1>metrics are looking safe, everything is looking good. They feel

0:51:46.480 --> 0:51:49.400
<v Speaker 1>comfortable that things are gonna stick and you're dealing from

0:51:49.400 --> 0:51:53.120
<v Speaker 1>a surplus, I really think, and if you if you

0:51:53.160 --> 0:51:55.080
<v Speaker 1>think about it from early as well. While we do

0:51:55.160 --> 0:51:59.400
<v Speaker 1>love the upside and the good floor that he brings you, already,

0:51:59.440 --> 0:52:03.600
<v Speaker 1>it's such a young age. I think with you know, early,

0:52:04.040 --> 0:52:07.680
<v Speaker 1>obviously he's still coming back from the elbow issue and

0:52:08.920 --> 0:52:12.160
<v Speaker 1>he's had he's had some inconsistencies, which rookies obviously go

0:52:12.320 --> 0:52:16.719
<v Speaker 1>through that. You know nothing, you know, nothing wrong with that.

0:52:18.040 --> 0:52:21.560
<v Speaker 1>But when metrics wise, when you do look at early,

0:52:22.560 --> 0:52:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean last year they were off the sharts. But

0:52:26.080 --> 0:52:29.880
<v Speaker 1>this year, I mean, you know, it's you know, it

0:52:30.640 --> 0:52:33.399
<v Speaker 1>looks like a guy that's kind of figuring things out right.

0:52:33.440 --> 0:52:36.399
<v Speaker 1>And that's not a bad thing. But for the situation

0:52:36.719 --> 0:52:42.719
<v Speaker 1>at hand, you had a need for me, I'm gonna

0:52:42.719 --> 0:52:44.920
<v Speaker 1>start saying that you needed a hitter, you need a

0:52:44.960 --> 0:52:49.440
<v Speaker 1>bat and other teams I believe, listening to Paul Taboni

0:52:49.800 --> 0:52:53.279
<v Speaker 1>earlier today, if I remember correctly, he said a lot

0:52:53.280 --> 0:52:56.080
<v Speaker 1>of teams were starting to call, so the Red Sox

0:52:56.120 --> 0:52:59.360
<v Speaker 1>had a shot here. And I mean, if you're thinking

0:52:59.400 --> 0:53:03.160
<v Speaker 1>about what were even these other offers out there, Early

0:53:03.960 --> 0:53:06.400
<v Speaker 1>is a guy that's shown a lot of promise, a

0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:09.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of flour I think has more ceiling to tap into.

0:53:09.800 --> 0:53:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, for the Nationals, like I would imagine

0:53:13.920 --> 0:53:16.759
<v Speaker 1>he's probably obviously he was the best offer because they

0:53:16.760 --> 0:53:20.560
<v Speaker 1>took it. But this is a shot for the Red

0:53:20.560 --> 0:53:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Sox to get someone like this. I wouldn't be surprised

0:53:24.640 --> 0:53:28.799
<v Speaker 1>at all to Bony told Craig, hey, listen, you got

0:53:28.840 --> 0:53:31.560
<v Speaker 1>like you got ten minutes to let us know, because

0:53:31.560 --> 0:53:34.080
<v Speaker 1>we got some other teams on the phone. If you

0:53:34.080 --> 0:53:36.200
<v Speaker 1>want to do early, let us know you got ten minutes.

0:53:36.640 --> 0:53:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't be surprised if they did something like that.

0:53:39.680 --> 0:53:43.239
<v Speaker 1>It's there is risk, there absolutely is, and I am

0:53:43.320 --> 0:53:48.840
<v Speaker 1>not denying that. But I think you had an opportunity

0:53:48.920 --> 0:53:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to be aggressive here to get some good upside. I

0:53:52.360 --> 0:53:54.840
<v Speaker 1>think it's worth the risk, especially coming from a surplus

0:53:55.920 --> 0:53:58.799
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of just where I'm at. You never know

0:53:59.520 --> 0:54:02.279
<v Speaker 1>what could happen. Though, Paul and the Chat Fancy need

0:54:02.320 --> 0:54:03.680
<v Speaker 1>to get over their love of players and look at

0:54:03.719 --> 0:54:07.000
<v Speaker 1>things realistically. This is a damn good trade for the Socks.

0:54:07.320 --> 0:54:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a lot of a lot of upside

0:54:09.719 --> 0:54:14.400
<v Speaker 1>for it. As always wait and see. I like doing

0:54:14.440 --> 0:54:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the predictions because they're fun. They're always a good conversation starter,

0:54:19.160 --> 0:54:23.160
<v Speaker 1>but realistically you always gotta wait and see. There's a

0:54:23.160 --> 0:54:26.839
<v Speaker 1>lot of potential here, a lot, And with the way

0:54:26.880 --> 0:54:30.240
<v Speaker 1>he's hitting, I think there's if you don't mess with anything,

0:54:30.360 --> 0:54:33.319
<v Speaker 1>if you don't just don't touch anything, let the guy

0:54:33.360 --> 0:54:36.560
<v Speaker 1>do what he's been doing. I mean, shoot, have hims.

0:54:36.960 --> 0:54:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, probably not allowed. But man, if there's

0:54:39.600 --> 0:54:41.279
<v Speaker 1>a way to have him keep working with whoever he

0:54:41.360 --> 0:54:43.120
<v Speaker 1>was working with, Holy count, figure out a way to

0:54:43.160 --> 0:54:45.560
<v Speaker 1>make that happen. Probably not obviously, but you know what

0:54:45.600 --> 0:54:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's good opportunity here. We will see back

0:54:51.560 --> 0:54:58.320
<v Speaker 1>to Craig. Let's see what Craig was saying here.

0:55:01.320 --> 0:55:04.840
<v Speaker 8>The deal say about how you were reading the markets.

0:55:04.920 --> 0:55:08.520
<v Speaker 8>Unusual to have a deal of this consequence, you know,

0:55:08.640 --> 0:55:13.120
<v Speaker 8>seven marine days before the deadline. What did the timing

0:55:13.440 --> 0:55:18.120
<v Speaker 8>say about you? Your take on things moving in the market,

0:55:18.160 --> 0:55:19.120
<v Speaker 8>getting established?

0:55:20.040 --> 0:55:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Probably a few things.

0:55:21.880 --> 0:55:23.520
<v Speaker 5>You know, in a in a perfect world, I'm sure

0:55:23.520 --> 0:55:25.960
<v Speaker 5>everybody would would like to have all of the different

0:55:26.040 --> 0:55:28.279
<v Speaker 5>concepts in front of them, line them up, and then

0:55:28.480 --> 0:55:32.680
<v Speaker 5>make a decision at the same time. You know, these

0:55:32.719 --> 0:55:34.440
<v Speaker 5>decisions are always on I don't think there's a I

0:55:34.440 --> 0:55:36.520
<v Speaker 5>don't think there's a comfortable trade that gets made this

0:55:36.520 --> 0:55:40.680
<v Speaker 5>this time of year, and there are a few advantages

0:55:40.840 --> 0:55:42.919
<v Speaker 5>for us. One is, we felt like this is something

0:55:42.920 --> 0:55:47.440
<v Speaker 5>that makes us better and independent of the alternatives, you know,

0:55:47.840 --> 0:55:50.160
<v Speaker 5>we felt like this this made sense for us. The

0:55:50.200 --> 0:55:52.680
<v Speaker 5>other thing is that, uh, you know, getting seven or

0:55:52.719 --> 0:55:55.279
<v Speaker 5>eight extra games with Curtis Meat in our lineup is

0:55:55.280 --> 0:55:58.520
<v Speaker 5>is real, you know, So we don't want to.

0:55:58.000 --> 0:56:00.560
<v Speaker 3>Discount the value of of getting those That's.

0:56:01.160 --> 0:56:04.800
<v Speaker 1>That's that's a that's a really big point, man, especially

0:56:04.840 --> 0:56:07.680
<v Speaker 1>in this race, in this wildcard race, looking for a

0:56:07.719 --> 0:56:12.160
<v Speaker 1>postseason spot, looking where you came from to get back

0:56:12.239 --> 0:56:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to this point. Offense is the clear need right now

0:56:16.800 --> 0:56:19.400
<v Speaker 1>after putting in that much effort to get back to

0:56:19.480 --> 0:56:24.799
<v Speaker 1>where you are. Yeah, I love that you're bringing in

0:56:25.920 --> 0:56:30.680
<v Speaker 1>something here with Curtis Meade to help you get as

0:56:31.080 --> 0:56:33.400
<v Speaker 1>many wins as possible. Here at the end of the day,

0:56:33.440 --> 0:56:35.440
<v Speaker 1>you gotta get wins. You need a more offense in

0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:38.000
<v Speaker 1>this lineup. He gives you more of an opportunity to

0:56:38.040 --> 0:56:42.360
<v Speaker 1>win games, and every win matters at this point, especially

0:56:42.360 --> 0:56:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the effort that it took to get here. You know,

0:56:44.600 --> 0:56:48.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like you, I mean, what's a what's a what's

0:56:48.160 --> 0:56:51.920
<v Speaker 1>a good analogy here. You had a you had a

0:56:52.000 --> 0:56:55.960
<v Speaker 1>broken oven. You got to make a cake for a

0:56:56.440 --> 0:56:59.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know something, my birthday. You got to make

0:56:59.239 --> 0:57:02.520
<v Speaker 1>a cake for my birth but the oven's broke. You

0:57:02.600 --> 0:57:05.919
<v Speaker 1>finally fix the oven. Holy cow, you got You only

0:57:06.000 --> 0:57:09.120
<v Speaker 1>got minimal time to make this cake and you end

0:57:09.200 --> 0:57:14.120
<v Speaker 1>up making a great cake. And then are you just

0:57:14.160 --> 0:57:17.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna take that cake to the party on just a

0:57:17.600 --> 0:57:20.200
<v Speaker 1>paper plate. No, I'm gonna put that thing in a

0:57:20.280 --> 0:57:23.600
<v Speaker 1>nice case, make sure it doesn't fall out. I'm gonna

0:57:23.600 --> 0:57:26.520
<v Speaker 1>get the ones where the little little things snap on

0:57:26.600 --> 0:57:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the side so it's not gonna fall out. I'm gonna

0:57:28.400 --> 0:57:33.240
<v Speaker 1>do everything I can to protect that cake that took.

0:57:33.360 --> 0:57:35.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, obviously I had to fix my oven and

0:57:35.320 --> 0:57:38.640
<v Speaker 1>obviously make it right. Was that a good analogy? I'm

0:57:38.680 --> 0:57:41.040
<v Speaker 1>sorry if that was bad, But yeah, I understand what

0:57:41.040 --> 0:57:46.560
<v Speaker 1>he's saying. You have the pitching, you need another bat,

0:57:47.200 --> 0:57:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the need for me. Well, that didn't work. Hold on,

0:57:57.200 --> 0:58:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh this fold on a second. Facebook. I'm playing it

0:58:01.520 --> 0:58:02.080
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook.

0:58:02.240 --> 0:58:05.040
<v Speaker 5>The I think this move it makes our our major

0:58:05.120 --> 0:58:08.560
<v Speaker 5>league roster better. And that's not to diminish Connolly early

0:58:08.600 --> 0:58:10.080
<v Speaker 5>in what I think he's capable. I think he's gonna

0:58:10.120 --> 0:58:11.880
<v Speaker 5>he's gonna be a really good starting pitcher for for

0:58:11.920 --> 0:58:16.960
<v Speaker 5>a long time with the Nationals. But what our roster

0:58:17.320 --> 0:58:19.800
<v Speaker 5>needed right now, you know, we thought with someone who

0:58:19.840 --> 0:58:22.000
<v Speaker 5>can hit at the top of the order, in the

0:58:22.000 --> 0:58:25.280
<v Speaker 5>middle of the order, he's a particularly good fit for

0:58:25.440 --> 0:58:28.280
<v Speaker 5>our park, just given kind of the batted ball profile

0:58:28.320 --> 0:58:31.840
<v Speaker 5>and the power, and so we think he makes us better.

0:58:31.840 --> 0:58:33.240
<v Speaker 5>He makes us better in the short term and the

0:58:33.240 --> 0:58:35.320
<v Speaker 5>long term. He's you know, he's twenty five years old.

0:58:35.720 --> 0:58:39.959
<v Speaker 5>Obviously it's been kind of a bumpy road at times

0:58:40.000 --> 0:58:41.600
<v Speaker 5>for him to to kind of settle in and establish

0:58:41.680 --> 0:58:44.560
<v Speaker 5>himself as a big leaguer. But at twenty five, still

0:58:44.600 --> 0:58:46.200
<v Speaker 5>feel like his best years are ahead of him. So,

0:58:46.480 --> 0:58:48.040
<v Speaker 5>you know, we think this is a move to make

0:58:48.120 --> 0:58:50.280
<v Speaker 5>us better in twenty six and we'll continue to look

0:58:50.320 --> 0:58:51.240
<v Speaker 5>for those opportunities.

0:58:52.080 --> 0:58:55.760
<v Speaker 1>And also, twenty five years old, it's not like you're

0:58:55.760 --> 0:59:00.560
<v Speaker 1>getting someone that's you know, about to go into the

0:59:00.360 --> 0:59:02.320
<v Speaker 1>the tail end of his career. You got a guy

0:59:02.360 --> 0:59:05.480
<v Speaker 1>that's twenty five. I mean, man, there's so much upside

0:59:05.480 --> 0:59:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to tap into here. Man, oh man. So those were

0:59:09.720 --> 0:59:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the thoughts on from Craig Breslow and I believe we

0:59:15.920 --> 0:59:24.040
<v Speaker 1>also had him talking today at Femway Park. Let's take

0:59:24.080 --> 0:59:27.680
<v Speaker 1>a listen. I'm not going to show this clip because

0:59:27.680 --> 0:59:30.000
<v Speaker 1>they do show some of the game, so I don't

0:59:30.040 --> 0:59:32.960
<v Speaker 1>want to get hit with the copyright, So we're just

0:59:33.000 --> 0:59:36.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna listen to this one. Becket Inning.

0:59:36.440 --> 0:59:40.080
<v Speaker 4>Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow has just acquired Curtis Mead

0:59:40.160 --> 0:59:44.680
<v Speaker 4>from the Washington Nationals. Seventeen home runs, right handed power.

0:59:45.160 --> 0:59:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Great to have it.

0:59:45.760 --> 0:59:47.640
<v Speaker 4>Can we talk about that dive in what you loved

0:59:47.640 --> 0:59:51.320
<v Speaker 4>about this guy? Yeah, right handed power.

0:59:51.040 --> 0:59:53.240
<v Speaker 5>Seventeen home runs a pretty good place to start, but

0:59:53.600 --> 0:59:57.760
<v Speaker 5>now feel like he's made some real swing changes this season,

0:59:58.040 --> 1:00:00.000
<v Speaker 5>kind of put things together. He's been a top pross

1:00:00.200 --> 1:00:01.880
<v Speaker 5>for a really long time, but maybe didn't have the run,

1:00:02.440 --> 1:00:04.800
<v Speaker 5>you know, wasn't able to get things to click, and

1:00:04.840 --> 1:00:08.080
<v Speaker 5>it's doing so this season. And he's a great fit

1:00:08.120 --> 1:00:09.760
<v Speaker 5>for our park. He's a great fit for our lineup,

1:00:09.800 --> 1:00:11.120
<v Speaker 5>and really excited to get him on board.

1:00:11.120 --> 1:00:15.720
<v Speaker 9>And we're talking overhaul mechanically like hands stride batpas.

1:00:16.040 --> 1:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Let me actually really quick, let me pull this one

1:00:19.120 --> 1:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>up because I wanted you to particularly particularly play where

1:00:23.840 --> 1:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>he talked about the trade deadline coming up. Let me

1:00:27.440 --> 1:00:33.040
<v Speaker 1>get this pulled up, let me find the time stamp.

1:00:34.840 --> 1:00:35.640
<v Speaker 3>It is.

1:00:37.240 --> 1:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Here we go.

1:00:39.640 --> 1:00:44.760
<v Speaker 4>Do you feel confident that another deal at the tradeline

1:00:44.800 --> 1:00:46.920
<v Speaker 4>Craig is in the offing for you?

1:00:47.920 --> 1:00:51.360
<v Speaker 5>If I've learned anything approaching my third deadline, it's to

1:00:51.680 --> 1:00:54.880
<v Speaker 5>never feel like you can predict what's going to happen over.

1:00:54.760 --> 1:00:55.440
<v Speaker 3>The next week.

1:00:56.720 --> 1:00:59.640
<v Speaker 5>We're gonna we're gonna explore every opportunity that we can.

1:00:59.760 --> 1:01:03.400
<v Speaker 5>This came together, you know, I think on a relatively

1:01:03.440 --> 1:01:07.680
<v Speaker 5>early compared to where deals typically do. But I don't

1:01:07.720 --> 1:01:09.640
<v Speaker 5>want to discount the importance of getting Curtis in the

1:01:09.640 --> 1:01:11.640
<v Speaker 5>lineup for the next week or so.

1:01:11.720 --> 1:01:11.919
<v Speaker 4>Sure.

1:01:12.080 --> 1:01:13.600
<v Speaker 9>Also, I mean there's still a lot of teams over

1:01:13.640 --> 1:01:16.640
<v Speaker 9>this next week have don't really know which direction they're going.

1:01:16.680 --> 1:01:18.480
<v Speaker 9>There's still games to be played, a couple series to

1:01:18.520 --> 1:01:21.200
<v Speaker 9>be played for those teams to even get to that point.

1:01:21.400 --> 1:01:23.680
<v Speaker 9>So yeah, to your point, you get an extra seven

1:01:23.720 --> 1:01:24.960
<v Speaker 9>eight games with that power.

1:01:26.200 --> 1:01:28.560
<v Speaker 4>Jaron Duran batting with a runner on at first base

1:01:28.760 --> 1:01:32.160
<v Speaker 4>and two down and he'll cut and missing one with

1:01:32.320 --> 1:01:36.960
<v Speaker 4>thirteen home runs. What has happened with this team. It's

1:01:37.000 --> 1:01:40.240
<v Speaker 4>amazing the way it's come together. There's there's a feeling

1:01:40.400 --> 1:01:45.200
<v Speaker 4>that everything changed beginning with that Yankee series. But the

1:01:45.240 --> 1:01:47.919
<v Speaker 4>way fans have fallen in love with this team has

1:01:47.960 --> 1:01:49.000
<v Speaker 4>been amazing to watch.

1:01:49.360 --> 1:01:51.480
<v Speaker 5>We've been able to see the identity come through and

1:01:51.520 --> 1:01:52.400
<v Speaker 5>these guys show up.

1:01:52.440 --> 1:01:54.480
<v Speaker 3>They compete for each other, they compete for the fans.

1:01:55.120 --> 1:01:58.400
<v Speaker 5>Trace has done an incredible job in bringing them together,

1:01:59.000 --> 1:02:01.520
<v Speaker 5>and they believe in each other. You know, there's just

1:02:01.560 --> 1:02:04.480
<v Speaker 5>there's a ton of confidence in the clubhouse, and I

1:02:04.560 --> 1:02:08.000
<v Speaker 5>think the players feel like they're supported, They're they're surrounded

1:02:08.040 --> 1:02:10.000
<v Speaker 5>by people who believe in them.

1:02:10.240 --> 1:02:12.680
<v Speaker 4>Can you get Roman Anthony back? Are you confident you'll

1:02:12.680 --> 1:02:13.720
<v Speaker 4>see him back this year?

1:02:14.120 --> 1:02:14.479
<v Speaker 3>I hope.

1:02:14.480 --> 1:02:14.560
<v Speaker 6>So.

1:02:15.080 --> 1:02:17.800
<v Speaker 5>You know, he's he's working his tail off to try

1:02:17.840 --> 1:02:19.480
<v Speaker 5>to get back. He sees what's happening, he wants to

1:02:19.480 --> 1:02:21.240
<v Speaker 5>be a part of it, and he's pushing himself every day.

1:02:22.480 --> 1:02:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a big part too. From right there,

1:02:24.400 --> 1:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I know, I kind of let that run a little bit,

1:02:25.920 --> 1:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>But you know, no answer on Roman Anthony. That's a

1:02:31.480 --> 1:02:34.959
<v Speaker 1>big thing. So could that be another thing that comes

1:02:34.960 --> 1:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>into play here when it comes to future moves. I'm

1:02:39.000 --> 1:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>sure they're gonna be really looking at that over the

1:02:42.080 --> 1:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>next week. I wouldn't even I wouldn't even be surprised

1:02:45.200 --> 1:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>if they look to try to get him swinging this week,

1:02:49.680 --> 1:02:52.959
<v Speaker 1>just to see, like, all right, let's see, let's let's

1:02:52.960 --> 1:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>take some swings, and if he feels pain still, I

1:02:56.360 --> 1:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>wonder if that triggers them to be like, all right,

1:02:59.520 --> 1:03:02.360
<v Speaker 1>we we we we gotta go cover our butts here

1:03:02.520 --> 1:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and we gotta we got to figure out, you know,

1:03:06.320 --> 1:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>a way to get another bat here, you know, because

1:03:08.600 --> 1:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>you can't count on him coming back. So I actually

1:03:11.120 --> 1:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>wonder if they look to see if there's any progress

1:03:15.240 --> 1:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>this coming week, because whatever, if he swings a bat

1:03:18.600 --> 1:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>and it hurts, it's like, well, you know, he's already

1:03:22.080 --> 1:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>where he's at, so it's like all right, yeah, So

1:03:25.720 --> 1:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised at all if

1:03:28.120 --> 1:03:31.439
<v Speaker 1>there are more moves that could be made. I talked

1:03:31.440 --> 1:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>about this last night. I still think you could add

1:03:34.400 --> 1:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>someone for the middle infield. I mean, now, obviously Meat

1:03:37.720 --> 1:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>is looking like he's gonna getting a majority of the

1:03:39.440 --> 1:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>time at second base, that doesn't mean you can't go

1:03:43.240 --> 1:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>get another guy. You know. I know, stories coming back,

1:03:46.320 --> 1:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>but if you had a situation where story comes back

1:03:50.160 --> 1:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and play short, and you go get another middle infielder

1:03:54.640 --> 1:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>they can play second. You know, go get a rise

1:03:58.040 --> 1:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, why couldn't you go get a rise stories

1:04:00.440 --> 1:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>at short and then Mead ends up just dhing most

1:04:04.400 --> 1:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>of the time. Or Caleb Durban saying he's open to

1:04:08.360 --> 1:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>moving across. If the Red Sox are really big on defense,

1:04:13.240 --> 1:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>if they wanted to go get a third baseman, say

1:04:15.120 --> 1:04:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Max Chapman, who wouldn't cost a lot to acquire because

1:04:18.440 --> 1:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>he's on an underwater contract. Do the Red Sox make

1:04:21.480 --> 1:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>a move like that where they've shown the willingness to

1:04:24.120 --> 1:04:27.400
<v Speaker 1>be open to taking on money. So if they're willing

1:04:27.440 --> 1:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to do that, you'd have an amazing infield. You'd have

1:04:32.120 --> 1:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Chatman at third. Well, Durban, I think you would be

1:04:35.400 --> 1:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>completely fine at second base. He's been great at third.

1:04:37.680 --> 1:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>But you know, even a situation like that, I don't

1:04:40.440 --> 1:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>think adding need here completely counts you out for adding

1:04:47.280 --> 1:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>something else, especially if Roman is not showing any signs

1:04:50.920 --> 1:04:56.439
<v Speaker 1>of progressing. So Phoenix, I totally get what you mean.

1:04:58.440 --> 1:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not moving Durban off a third. I'd move him

1:05:00.560 --> 1:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>off for Chapman. Chapman's an amazing defender. Caleb Durban has

1:05:04.520 --> 1:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>been great too. I think he'd be just as good

1:05:07.240 --> 1:05:09.840
<v Speaker 1>at second base, and he came up as a second baseman.

1:05:10.200 --> 1:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>So if you had an opportunity to get some great

1:05:12.600 --> 1:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>defense like Chapman at third, who has also a swing

1:05:17.000 --> 1:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>built for Femway, I'd listen to that. I wouldn't completely

1:05:22.880 --> 1:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't completely discredit that. Now there was one thing

1:05:25.680 --> 1:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't find the clip. But quoting from Craig Breslo here,

1:05:32.200 --> 1:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Millican, thank you for posting these quotes here today,

1:05:35.160 --> 1:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>he said, I don't when asked if the offense is

1:05:37.720 --> 1:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>still the priority, I don't know. I don't think anybody

1:05:40.880 --> 1:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>would sit here and say, no, we don't need any

1:05:43.520 --> 1:05:46.240
<v Speaker 1>more offense. We have to be mindful of losing Connolly

1:05:46.280 --> 1:05:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and losing those innings. We have to be mindful of

1:05:48.680 --> 1:05:51.040
<v Speaker 1>the workload that we put on our bullpen. We'll look

1:05:51.080 --> 1:05:53.640
<v Speaker 1>across a pretty wide scope here and figure out if

1:05:53.680 --> 1:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>anything makes sense for us. The fact that he bring

1:05:57.280 --> 1:05:59.280
<v Speaker 1>again with these kind of quotes, you have to kind

1:05:59.280 --> 1:06:03.880
<v Speaker 1>of look at spific parts, right. The innings part is

1:06:03.880 --> 1:06:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the one that sticks out to me. So I think

1:06:06.880 --> 1:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>it's a safe bet. No one else is getting moved

1:06:08.760 --> 1:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>from the Major league level. I mean, I don't know,

1:06:12.920 --> 1:06:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Like even Patrick Sandoval, do you move him at this point?

1:06:16.360 --> 1:06:19.840
<v Speaker 1>At least while he may not have looked amazing overall,

1:06:20.360 --> 1:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>he's still a guy that can give you gives you winnings.

1:06:22.920 --> 1:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>So I actually wonder if you still move him. I

1:06:25.160 --> 1:06:28.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think anyone else. So Bennett's not going anywhere. Don't

1:06:28.520 --> 1:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>even think about that obviously, totally, No no one else.

1:06:32.320 --> 1:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Sandoval, but even then I don't think so. So

1:06:35.360 --> 1:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>does this open up the possibility of moving ansin? But

1:06:40.760 --> 1:06:44.160
<v Speaker 1>then again you also pause at that because now you've

1:06:44.200 --> 1:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>just moved one of your young starters. So now wouldn't

1:06:46.760 --> 1:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>you rather keep your depth as well with your top

1:06:50.720 --> 1:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>pitching prospect. So I don't know, Like it's it's interesting

1:06:55.760 --> 1:06:58.720
<v Speaker 1>what they could do. So that's where.

1:07:00.360 --> 1:07:00.560
<v Speaker 5>You know.

1:07:01.720 --> 1:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>And here's another thing. And we've brought up this name

1:07:04.600 --> 1:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot, a lot a lot, Marcelo Meyer. What happens

1:07:10.160 --> 1:07:12.800
<v Speaker 1>with him now? I imagine he's not going to be

1:07:12.840 --> 1:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>coming back to the major league team when he's healthy

1:07:16.120 --> 1:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>unless someone else goes down. Who knows. With Trevor story,

1:07:19.960 --> 1:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you never know. But what happens with him now, I

1:07:24.200 --> 1:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>still think he's a trade candidate. But then again, what

1:07:26.840 --> 1:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>do other teams think? I don't know. I think I

1:07:29.520 --> 1:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>saw Red Sox stats put out there today. Could you

1:07:33.640 --> 1:07:39.200
<v Speaker 1>dangle Arius? I've said it a million times. I would

1:07:39.200 --> 1:07:42.280
<v Speaker 1>not be happy about that unless you got yourself like

1:07:42.360 --> 1:07:45.919
<v Speaker 1>a star kind of a guy. This one more time

1:07:45.920 --> 1:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>with the quote. This tells me that no more starters

1:07:50.040 --> 1:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>at the major league level are going to be moved.

1:07:52.240 --> 1:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm even hesitant with Sandoval, and that also makes me think, like,

1:07:57.400 --> 1:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, could you end up keeping in too? So

1:08:02.160 --> 1:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>you wonder, you know, Arius and Meyer, could they be

1:08:06.800 --> 1:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>up for grabs? You know, I don't know. I don't know.

1:08:11.800 --> 1:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Could there be a possible big move? You know, you

1:08:16.160 --> 1:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>also think about this. I don't know, Like I think

1:08:19.320 --> 1:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox Stats mentioned Tyler Sodastrom today, I don't know

1:08:23.720 --> 1:08:26.640
<v Speaker 1>if I'm thinking on the fly right now. Sorry if

1:08:26.640 --> 1:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>this doesn't make sense, but like, if Roman's not going

1:08:29.120 --> 1:08:32.599
<v Speaker 1>to come back, if you are weary about Roman coming back,

1:08:33.640 --> 1:08:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Like soda Strom's a guy that can

1:08:36.120 --> 1:08:41.200
<v Speaker 1>play some outfield and obviously d h So I don't know,

1:08:41.240 --> 1:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>like could that be a possibility? And then you kind of,

1:08:44.600 --> 1:08:49.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, down the road, you just figure out the positions.

1:08:50.040 --> 1:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know, like, is he a possible option?

1:08:53.800 --> 1:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I kind of wonder. I think a lot of this

1:08:55.400 --> 1:08:57.960
<v Speaker 1>rides on Roman, a lot of it, and I think

1:08:57.960 --> 1:09:00.519
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be a big week Phoenix in

1:09:00.560 --> 1:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the chat trading Meyer first chance, Yeah, I think he

1:09:04.640 --> 1:09:07.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I feel like it's I would say it's

1:09:07.960 --> 1:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>like the worst kept secret right now. If you're looking

1:09:11.400 --> 1:09:14.599
<v Speaker 1>at Red Sox trade candidates, his name has popped up

1:09:14.680 --> 1:09:19.599
<v Speaker 1>multiple times. I feel like he is up for grabs

1:09:19.920 --> 1:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>at this point if a team wants to take the chance.

1:09:22.560 --> 1:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>So again, one more thing, I one more time. I

1:09:27.600 --> 1:09:29.680
<v Speaker 1>think there is still a possibility of making moves. And

1:09:30.080 --> 1:09:32.719
<v Speaker 1>as for the pitching staff too, I think also him

1:09:32.760 --> 1:09:35.479
<v Speaker 1>saying right there, we have to be mindful of the

1:09:35.520 --> 1:09:39.519
<v Speaker 1>workload that we put on our bullpen. That also tells

1:09:39.560 --> 1:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>me that they're going to be looking for relief help.

1:09:42.160 --> 1:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I've been talking about relief help for a while. I

1:09:44.360 --> 1:09:46.080
<v Speaker 1>think you go after one of these guys on the

1:09:46.120 --> 1:09:49.559
<v Speaker 1>mets like a bras, a bond or a mentor. I mean, shoot,

1:09:49.600 --> 1:09:51.599
<v Speaker 1>I'd even look into what would it take to bring

1:09:51.640 --> 1:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>back Bernadino. Even I'd look into that, you know, like

1:09:57.360 --> 1:09:59.639
<v Speaker 1>like brock Burke on the Reds. Could you do someone

1:09:59.680 --> 1:10:04.320
<v Speaker 1>like him? I yeah, I think there's a lot more

1:10:04.360 --> 1:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>to do here. I think there's a lot more to do.

1:10:08.520 --> 1:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a look here at some voicemails. Do we

1:10:13.280 --> 1:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>have any voicemails? All right, we got a voicemail.

1:10:28.320 --> 1:10:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Here we go, Hey, Robbie. A few things people need

1:10:32.120 --> 1:10:37.240
<v Speaker 2>to understand about Craig Breslow. His team is very tight.

1:10:37.400 --> 1:10:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Nothing ever gets out. There's ever reports about them being interested.

1:10:43.080 --> 1:10:47.280
<v Speaker 2>That's every team, but Craig loves dealing in the shadows.

1:10:47.320 --> 1:10:50.960
<v Speaker 2>You will almost never hear a actual legiti report of

1:10:51.040 --> 1:10:52.040
<v Speaker 2>someone they're targeting.

1:10:54.200 --> 1:10:57.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, yeah, we just saw it last night.

1:10:57.640 --> 1:10:59.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean how many times have we seen I feel

1:10:59.640 --> 1:11:03.519
<v Speaker 1>like the only guy that the Red Sox have traded

1:11:03.560 --> 1:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>for and even signed that you had heard about prior

1:11:08.880 --> 1:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>was Wilson Contreras. Like you had heard that connection a

1:11:13.720 --> 1:11:15.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit and then it happened. I think what was

1:11:16.040 --> 1:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>like a couple of weeks, a few weeks after or

1:11:18.280 --> 1:11:21.519
<v Speaker 1>something like that. Everyone else it was like a complete surprise.

1:11:21.600 --> 1:11:25.479
<v Speaker 1>Well Bregman, obviously they were connected with Bregman for a while.

1:11:26.080 --> 1:11:29.960
<v Speaker 1>So but yeah, you you look at all the moves

1:11:30.560 --> 1:11:34.559
<v Speaker 1>last night. No one again, no one even had excuse me,

1:11:34.600 --> 1:11:36.559
<v Speaker 1>no one even had Curtis meat as a trade candidate.

1:11:36.840 --> 1:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Everyone was all the lists had c j Abrams and

1:11:39.880 --> 1:11:43.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe even James Wood, right, so that you know, it's

1:11:43.320 --> 1:11:46.519
<v Speaker 1>actually interesting we had that little Where did that report

1:11:46.600 --> 1:11:48.519
<v Speaker 1>come from? That came from?

1:11:48.560 --> 1:11:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Ah?

1:11:52.560 --> 1:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh was Marino Papenn? Marino Papenn? Stay positive, we move forward.

1:11:58.520 --> 1:12:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I think he had been the he was the one

1:12:00.360 --> 1:12:04.640
<v Speaker 1>that put the James Wood thing out there. Did the

1:12:04.640 --> 1:12:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox actually ask about James Wood? They probably did, so,

1:12:09.000 --> 1:12:11.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's an interest thing. They made a

1:12:11.439 --> 1:12:14.200
<v Speaker 1>trade with the Nationals and then he put that report out,

1:12:14.439 --> 1:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and before he put the report out, so but yeah,

1:12:18.040 --> 1:12:22.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, Curtis Mead was not mentioned anywhere anywhere. The

1:12:22.760 --> 1:12:25.200
<v Speaker 1>only time that in my head he was ever a

1:12:25.240 --> 1:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>trade candidate was when I was coming up with you know,

1:12:27.880 --> 1:12:30.559
<v Speaker 1>some trade videos in the past over the last couple

1:12:30.600 --> 1:12:33.160
<v Speaker 1>of weeks, last few weeks, and I'm looking at guys,

1:12:33.160 --> 1:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, well, the Nationals like Abrahms, he's getting a

1:12:35.840 --> 1:12:37.760
<v Speaker 1>couple of years to free agent, couple of years close

1:12:37.760 --> 1:12:41.200
<v Speaker 1>in a free agency. But Mead, yeah, he's hitting really well,

1:12:41.240 --> 1:12:43.559
<v Speaker 1>but he's still really far away. Why would the Nationals

1:12:43.600 --> 1:12:46.600
<v Speaker 1>want to move him? But here he is there, he

1:12:46.680 --> 1:12:52.679
<v Speaker 1>is so yeah, you never ever hear about these Ranger

1:12:52.800 --> 1:12:55.479
<v Speaker 1>Suarez right, that came out of nowhere, right, that was

1:12:55.520 --> 1:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the pivot from nowhere. So yeah, you're absolutely right. So

1:12:59.160 --> 1:13:01.639
<v Speaker 1>that's where I kind of like we can keep talking

1:13:01.680 --> 1:13:05.280
<v Speaker 1>about these other guys like Netto and a Rise who

1:13:05.360 --> 1:13:09.120
<v Speaker 1>are out there. Well, what I'll say this with a Rise,

1:13:09.280 --> 1:13:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen one connection with him in the Red Sox,

1:13:13.479 --> 1:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>at least I don't unless it's like a mock trade.

1:13:16.240 --> 1:13:19.439
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen any report saying there's any kind of interest.

1:13:19.560 --> 1:13:22.519
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know. Is that a guy that you

1:13:22.560 --> 1:13:25.080
<v Speaker 1>think about getting the bat on the ball while you

1:13:25.160 --> 1:13:26.680
<v Speaker 1>got one of the best in the business right there

1:13:26.680 --> 1:13:28.599
<v Speaker 1>with a Rise? I would love him. Could you imagine

1:13:28.760 --> 1:13:31.479
<v Speaker 1>you bringing a Rise? He's your leadoff guy. They also

1:13:31.520 --> 1:13:33.759
<v Speaker 1>had Masa leading off here today and that was another

1:13:33.760 --> 1:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>bad day for the leadoff spot. I feel like the

1:13:36.880 --> 1:13:40.639
<v Speaker 1>best leadoff spot, the best performance out of the leadoff

1:13:40.680 --> 1:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>spot we've gotten over the last while with Siegeler the

1:13:45.120 --> 1:13:50.200
<v Speaker 1>other night four for five. You never see that, So again, like,

1:13:50.240 --> 1:13:52.320
<v Speaker 1>could you go after a rise and then you got meat.

1:13:52.160 --> 1:13:52.679
<v Speaker 3>In the middle.

1:13:52.800 --> 1:13:57.639
<v Speaker 1>Like sounds pretty good if you ask me anyway, But yeah,

1:13:57.880 --> 1:14:03.200
<v Speaker 1>keep your eyes out, like I don't know that's where

1:14:03.240 --> 1:14:08.640
<v Speaker 1>like someone like Soda Strom. He's been mentioned like very minimally,

1:14:09.720 --> 1:14:13.400
<v Speaker 1>But could that be a guy like if I'm looking here,

1:14:16.920 --> 1:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>you know some other possibilities. Let's see if I'm looking

1:14:22.439 --> 1:14:27.839
<v Speaker 1>for someone that you don't even think of being a candidate,

1:14:32.120 --> 1:14:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Like there's I don't know, like there's no way the

1:14:34.600 --> 1:14:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Tigers are going to trad Dylan Dingler. So if you're

1:14:36.560 --> 1:14:38.800
<v Speaker 1>looking for a catcher, I think you can cross him

1:14:38.800 --> 1:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>off the list. I don't think he would be a

1:14:40.200 --> 1:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>surprise candidate. Someone asked about Riley Green yesterday. I believe.

1:14:48.840 --> 1:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Like where are the Tigers at in

1:14:50.640 --> 1:14:57.000
<v Speaker 1>these standings right now? Tigers the three and a half out,

1:14:58.280 --> 1:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know, like do they all of a

1:15:00.439 --> 1:15:06.000
<v Speaker 1>sudden decide that they're okay with moving one of these

1:15:06.000 --> 1:15:10.679
<v Speaker 1>guys to bring in value besides Schooble, I'm going down

1:15:10.680 --> 1:15:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the list. I don't know, Like I know, Bryce Eldridge

1:15:18.439 --> 1:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>has been mentioned before as a possible trade candidate. I

1:15:22.040 --> 1:15:24.719
<v Speaker 1>believe in the off season, I don't think he would

1:15:24.720 --> 1:15:28.840
<v Speaker 1>go anywhere. At this point, we've heard Luis Garcia junior

1:15:29.160 --> 1:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and again getting back to the Nationals. Remember he was

1:15:32.000 --> 1:15:37.360
<v Speaker 1>popping up. So sounds like to me, Craig's been calling

1:15:37.400 --> 1:15:41.719
<v Speaker 1>the Nationals quite a bit. James would Louis Garcia junior.

1:15:42.920 --> 1:15:49.360
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I mean, if I'm looking other possibilities, I

1:15:49.360 --> 1:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>don't know, like, no one really you know, again, like

1:15:51.760 --> 1:16:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Soda Strom, maybe he jumps off. I don't know. Liam Hicks,

1:16:01.920 --> 1:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>is that a possibility? Like, if you're looking for some

1:16:04.800 --> 1:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>catching help, could Liam Hicks be a possibility? He's a

1:16:11.080 --> 1:16:12.920
<v Speaker 1>left handed bat. Well, I don't know. I mean, you

1:16:12.920 --> 1:16:16.680
<v Speaker 1>could get a platoon going right lefty bat. He's got

1:16:16.720 --> 1:16:21.479
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of pop like Dalton Rushing. I don't

1:16:21.520 --> 1:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>know if the Dodgers move him at this point with

1:16:24.400 --> 1:16:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Will Smith being hurt. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

1:16:30.760 --> 1:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I'd have to look further. But no one really besides

1:16:35.280 --> 1:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>those couple of names, like I don't know, no one

1:16:37.040 --> 1:16:40.000
<v Speaker 1>really jumps off as like a under the radar trade

1:16:40.040 --> 1:16:42.640
<v Speaker 1>candidate to me, at least guys that are like towards

1:16:42.760 --> 1:16:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the like in the top half when it comes to rankings. Offensively,

1:16:47.720 --> 1:16:52.519
<v Speaker 1>so we got a few more super Chats. Let's get

1:16:52.520 --> 1:16:59.360
<v Speaker 1>to those from Carl. I hate to see early go,

1:16:59.479 --> 1:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>but they have more pictures then rotation spots. So if

1:17:02.400 --> 1:17:04.439
<v Speaker 1>we trade one piece for a power hitting DH and

1:17:04.479 --> 1:17:08.479
<v Speaker 1>Curtis me, then I'm in. Yeah. Uh, time will tell,

1:17:09.080 --> 1:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Time will tell. I love the possibilities, I love the potential.

1:17:14.960 --> 1:17:18.400
<v Speaker 1>There seems to be good floor. We'll see. It's a

1:17:18.400 --> 1:17:23.519
<v Speaker 1>lot giving up early, and I really hope it works out. Uh,

1:17:23.640 --> 1:17:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Jacob nine to nine cents super Chat. I appreciate my

1:17:26.040 --> 1:17:29.600
<v Speaker 1>friend becoming a member. I appreciate you, man, appreciate you.

1:17:30.280 --> 1:17:33.120
<v Speaker 1>But everybody did we actually did? We end up going

1:17:33.160 --> 1:17:36.240
<v Speaker 1>over an hour here today? Oh my goodness, it's been

1:17:36.280 --> 1:17:38.960
<v Speaker 1>almost an hour and a half. See, I'll just ramble on.

1:17:39.880 --> 1:17:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll just ramble on, man, goodness. Almost an hour and

1:17:43.000 --> 1:17:45.360
<v Speaker 1>a half is one of our longest shows I think

1:17:45.360 --> 1:17:48.519
<v Speaker 1>of the season. I'm gonna start getting out of here,

1:17:48.600 --> 1:17:52.479
<v Speaker 1>ladies and gentlemen. It's uh, it's almost dinner time. I'm

1:17:52.479 --> 1:17:54.640
<v Speaker 1>getting hungry over here. I actually still got I got

1:17:54.760 --> 1:17:59.720
<v Speaker 1>to run to the store. Oh, Jacob, super Chat, what

1:17:59.720 --> 1:18:02.160
<v Speaker 1>about Auto Lopez? Marlin's have been horrible? You know the

1:18:02.200 --> 1:18:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Marlins all of a sudden. I mean they have been

1:18:04.600 --> 1:18:09.639
<v Speaker 1>really falling off. I mean they're still three out, they're

1:18:09.680 --> 1:18:15.720
<v Speaker 1>barely into the positives with run differential. I don't know.

1:18:16.320 --> 1:18:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know do they end up moving Sandy? Now

1:18:18.560 --> 1:18:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking, Man, they're good, they're they're they're all set.

1:18:21.240 --> 1:18:22.960
<v Speaker 1>They're not gonna be moving Sandy. But I don't know

1:18:24.240 --> 1:18:26.360
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be. This is getting a little hairy

1:18:26.400 --> 1:18:31.760
<v Speaker 1>for the Marlins. I don't know the do the Red

1:18:31.760 --> 1:18:34.719
<v Speaker 1>Sox call about Sandy? If you Craig's talking about Ednings,

1:18:34.720 --> 1:18:37.240
<v Speaker 1>does he does he go get another starter for the rotation?

1:18:38.640 --> 1:18:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Anthony under the radar guy kiber Ruiz,

1:18:42.200 --> 1:18:49.599
<v Speaker 1>he's on a long term deal, so I mean that

1:18:49.680 --> 1:18:54.320
<v Speaker 1>contract is I mean, that's that's not up for a while,

1:18:55.120 --> 1:18:57.760
<v Speaker 1>so I don't think he would go anywhere. But never

1:18:57.760 --> 1:19:03.320
<v Speaker 1>say never, Never say never, my Phoenix. In the chat

1:19:03.360 --> 1:19:08.599
<v Speaker 1>Michael King Morihan, you wonder does Preller is Preller open

1:19:08.720 --> 1:19:11.400
<v Speaker 1>to that kind of a move where you can get

1:19:11.400 --> 1:19:16.200
<v Speaker 1>a cost controlled talent for someone like Duran and then

1:19:16.240 --> 1:19:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you get some pitching possibly, you know, Michael King, I

1:19:21.560 --> 1:19:23.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I think I saw something on him that

1:19:23.240 --> 1:19:25.160
<v Speaker 1>they could be open to moving him. Where are the

1:19:25.160 --> 1:19:29.760
<v Speaker 1>posrays in these standings right now? I mean they're two out.

1:19:30.600 --> 1:19:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I look at the pogsrays with where they're at. They

1:19:35.000 --> 1:19:40.559
<v Speaker 1>have talent there. My guess is Preller. He kind of

1:19:42.240 --> 1:19:45.599
<v Speaker 1>tries to dance that line, thread that line a little bit,

1:19:46.080 --> 1:19:49.760
<v Speaker 1>thread the needle. I wonder if that's the approach they're

1:19:49.800 --> 1:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>going to take where he could make a move like that.

1:19:55.080 --> 1:19:57.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Like, do you like, if you're looking

1:19:57.680 --> 1:20:04.000
<v Speaker 1>at Duran, he's lost so much value. It's really unfortunate.

1:20:04.400 --> 1:20:10.200
<v Speaker 1>But like, could Morhon be an option? That would be awesome. Oh,

1:20:10.320 --> 1:20:13.719
<v Speaker 1>that would be awesome. That'd be amazing. You know that gif?

1:20:14.280 --> 1:20:16.920
<v Speaker 1>What's that gif? I think it's from the movie like

1:20:16.920 --> 1:20:19.920
<v Speaker 1>like like on like Beethoven or something. I always forget

1:20:19.960 --> 1:20:22.680
<v Speaker 1>this guy who the character is, who the name is.

1:20:23.439 --> 1:20:27.840
<v Speaker 1>The guy's like looking at the notes and he's like

1:20:27.920 --> 1:20:30.400
<v Speaker 1>flipping through it, and then he reads the music and

1:20:30.439 --> 1:20:34.040
<v Speaker 1>he it's so beautiful to him, and he just like

1:20:34.200 --> 1:20:38.400
<v Speaker 1>drops all of the the music notes or whatever they're

1:20:38.439 --> 1:20:41.000
<v Speaker 1>called because it's like so beautiful and he can't even

1:20:41.080 --> 1:20:43.960
<v Speaker 1>handle it. That would be me if I looked at

1:20:43.960 --> 1:20:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the back end of the Bullpen for the Red Sox.

1:20:45.920 --> 1:20:53.560
<v Speaker 1>If that had Chapman, Whitlock and Morahon, Oh beautiful, beautiful,

1:20:53.640 --> 1:20:56.479
<v Speaker 1>I need that, please. I would be so open to

1:20:56.520 --> 1:21:00.639
<v Speaker 1>getting Morahan. Man. I would love a high levelverage lefty.

1:21:00.640 --> 1:21:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I've been talking about getting a high leverage lefty. I

1:21:03.680 --> 1:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>was okay with Danny Koolohan when it happened, But oh, man,

1:21:06.760 --> 1:21:08.200
<v Speaker 1>if there's more potential there.

1:21:08.080 --> 1:21:09.240
<v Speaker 3>I would love it.

1:21:09.640 --> 1:21:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

1:21:10.120 --> 1:21:14.519
<v Speaker 1>But do you trade Duran for a reliever at this point?

1:21:14.960 --> 1:21:16.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't know about that.

1:21:16.840 --> 1:21:19.880
<v Speaker 1>That just and he's a rental too. Like I feel

1:21:19.880 --> 1:21:24.320
<v Speaker 1>like like trade value wise, like I mean, yeah, Duran

1:21:24.640 --> 1:21:28.720
<v Speaker 1>is really falling off here, so like numbers wise, that

1:21:28.760 --> 1:21:34.960
<v Speaker 1>would work, But philosophically, like, you don't trade you know,

1:21:35.320 --> 1:21:39.679
<v Speaker 1>you don't trade an every day, everyday player with two

1:21:39.760 --> 1:21:44.080
<v Speaker 1>years of control left where a rental reliever. I don't know, man,

1:21:45.600 --> 1:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. But why not? Why why couldn't Why

1:21:50.360 --> 1:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>couldn't he be a candidate for the Red Sox. Would

1:21:52.360 --> 1:21:55.280
<v Speaker 1>love that, would love that. But my guess is Preller,

1:21:55.320 --> 1:21:59.360
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna look to kind of thread the needle, kinda

1:22:01.520 --> 1:22:03.639
<v Speaker 1>look to bring back talent that can still help them

1:22:03.640 --> 1:22:06.120
<v Speaker 1>in the second half. So like that's where I could

1:22:06.160 --> 1:22:10.599
<v Speaker 1>see Duran being a possibility. Maybe I know he's having

1:22:10.640 --> 1:22:12.920
<v Speaker 1>a down year, but he still gives you some pop

1:22:13.000 --> 1:22:15.800
<v Speaker 1>with speed. But a big part of that's Roman. What's

1:22:15.800 --> 1:22:19.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen there and Steve and the chat Mason Miller? Oh,

1:22:19.840 --> 1:22:22.479
<v Speaker 1>that would be I would be dropping the music notes

1:22:22.520 --> 1:22:24.920
<v Speaker 1>all over the place, like I would probably faint, to

1:22:24.960 --> 1:22:26.439
<v Speaker 1>be honest, if the Red Sox found a way to

1:22:26.439 --> 1:22:30.479
<v Speaker 1>get Mason Miller, I'd faint. I would, I mean honestly,

1:22:30.600 --> 1:22:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Like could you even get like really creative here? I don't.

1:22:34.920 --> 1:22:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Nah, I'm not even gonna do it.

1:22:36.960 --> 1:22:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, like, let's say Preller was like,

1:22:40.439 --> 1:22:43.080
<v Speaker 1>all right, Mason Miller, he's got a ton of value here.

1:22:45.080 --> 1:22:47.400
<v Speaker 1>What if we could get back Chatman for this year

1:22:47.439 --> 1:22:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and then we have him for next year, but then

1:22:48.760 --> 1:22:52.720
<v Speaker 1>we also get someone with Chapman like a high like

1:22:52.760 --> 1:22:55.760
<v Speaker 1>a couple of high value prospects, right, Like could you

1:22:56.120 --> 1:22:58.360
<v Speaker 1>see like some I don't know, would the Red Sox

1:22:58.439 --> 1:23:00.639
<v Speaker 1>even do that? Why would I don't know. So that's

1:23:00.640 --> 1:23:04.599
<v Speaker 1>where trades they get, They just get a they can

1:23:04.640 --> 1:23:09.800
<v Speaker 1>get messy. So that's where you start thinking about these possibilities,

1:23:09.840 --> 1:23:11.479
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, no, you gotta think about it from

1:23:11.479 --> 1:23:15.000
<v Speaker 1>both sides. Right anyway, I'm out here, everybody. I'm gonna

1:23:15.040 --> 1:23:17.840
<v Speaker 1>wrap it up right there. I'm hungry. I feel like

1:23:17.840 --> 1:23:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm starting to get delirious. We'll be back here actually

1:23:22.560 --> 1:23:25.000
