So, 41 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: after months and months of rampant speculation about the status 42 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: of Paul's schemes and his future with Petsburgh Pirates, it 43 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 2: turns out the Superstar picture, according to the latest reports, 44 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: is not not on the trading market. The latest report 45 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: says there are two players two on the Pirates that 46 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: will not be traded. This according to Fox Sports Radio 47 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: alumni member former Cincinnati Reds GM and GM for some 48 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: other teams as well, Jim Bowden, who said that Paul 49 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: Skins and Andrew McCutcheon are the only players the only 50 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 2: ones who are not on the trading block according to 51 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: his sources around baseball. He says that one general manager 52 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 2: told him that the relief pitcher David Bednar and Dennis Santana, 53 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: both pitchers, are all but gone now. Bednar was in 54 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: the minor leagues earlier this year, got some nasty stuff, 55 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: but he's been hot and cold, and so they could 56 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: be traded together. 57 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: But that's not the story. 58 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: Let us discuss the question the Pirates have refused. If 59 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: you believe the latest reporting refuse to put Paul Skins 60 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: on the trading block, does this close the door to 61 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: him being moved between now and the trade. 62 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: Deadline at the end of the month. 63 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: So my take on this, I've got the reverse choke hold, 64 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: compass and space junk, and we will combuy all of 65 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: these things together and we were gonna make the Fetichini 66 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: Alfredo is what we're gonna make absolutely So to lead 67 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 2: off here, the door is not locked, all right, the 68 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: door is not locked. 69 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: I don't believe it. 70 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 3: No. 71 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: I actually did some shows when when Jim worked here 72 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 2: back in the day, and he was a Fox Sports 73 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 2: radio host, and he's got obviously got great sources. He 74 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 2: worked in baseball. He still does stuff around baseball and 75 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 2: all that stuff. But I'm not buying it. The store 76 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 2: is open for business. The first rule I learned this 77 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: years ago. The first rule of the MLB trade deadline 78 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: is to not believe anything that is being said on 79 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 2: the record right any media leagues, any of that stuff. 80 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: If the irit brass tell you that the sky is blue, 81 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: I would check the forecast. 82 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: I would check the radar to make sure that's the case. 83 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: This is the same franchise that traded Garrett Cole, who 84 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: would become the highest pid pitcher in baseball, to the 85 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 2: cheating Astros for a bag of batting practice baseballs and 86 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: some some tokens to Dave and Busters. 87 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: So I know everyone's changed. 88 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: They haven't changed that much, and so now they want 89 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: us to believe that they are. 90 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: What are they going to build. 91 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: Around Paul Skins And he's the second Coming of U, 92 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: you know, Sandy Colfax, Bob Gibson, whoever. 93 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: Please. This is a classic posturing move, is what it is. 94 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 2: And that's one of those teams that has always treated 95 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: any kind of success. 96 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: Like a contagious disease. 97 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: They're they're not, I would point out, they're not openly 98 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 2: shopping Paul Skins. And the reason they're not doing that 99 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: is because they don't have to do that right that 100 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 2: Skeins is stuck in this weird professional wrestling reverse choke 101 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: hold where he technically cannot be a free agent until 102 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: twenty thirty. Now, as I was told by someone who 103 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: works in baseball, the problem for the Pirates is he's 104 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: only got one more year before he's arbitration eligible. He's 105 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 2: like pre arbitration right now, and that's where the real 106 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: money comes in. So the Pirates, yeah, they could wait 107 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: technically and Paul Skeins can't leave until twenty thirty, but 108 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 2: year after year in arbitration, they're gonna have to pay 109 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: him twenty twenty five million dollars a year the way 110 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: the arbitration market's going. But make no mistake, when the 111 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: Dodgers and the Yankees, they come to the door and 112 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: they start knocking. They're knocking to the door, or they 113 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: they make the phone call and they say, hey, is 114 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: this the Pirates. Yeah, it's the Pirates. Yeah, hey, it's 115 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 2: the it's the Dodgers. Can we get our hands on 116 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: Paul Skins? Yeah, sure, no problem. They're not going to 117 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 2: hang up on them. They're not going to hang up 118 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: on them. And you know, I guess the question is 119 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: how many organs are you willing to donate if you're 120 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 2: the Dodgers of the Yankees and you don't shut the 121 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: door and all that. 122 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: Now someone offers. 123 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 2: Them the Godfather offer, which I'm told is now considered 124 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: the one Soto trade the Padres gave the Nationals for 125 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: that natitude that that is considered the gold standard. In 126 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: my position, a prospect is a suspect until proven otherwise. 127 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: So that is my position. I'm holding fast to that. 128 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: Should someone make the Pirates that kind of an offer, 129 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: then Paul Skins will be getting a new uniform and 130 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 2: he'll be starting at Dodger Stadium or. 131 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: A Yankee Stadium. 132 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: The usual suspects of the big money teams. Now one 133 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: of those big money teams also caught in the Abyss 134 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: we're talking about the red now third baseman, Alex Bregman. 135 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: He's been out for a while. His name, did you 136 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: see this? His name has been floated on the trading 137 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: market as a possible trade candidate, Believe it or not, 138 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: Alex Bregman, who's injury coming back from injury. 139 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: Believe it or not? 140 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: All right, so I am going to buy this. I 141 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: believe it, and it's expect the unexpected. Right, Bregman on 142 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 2: a He's essentially on a dummy. 143 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: Run in Boston. 144 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: He could not get the contract he wanted in the 145 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: offseason because there's a lot of stank on Alex Bregman, 146 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 2: because forever he is a cheating ah stro Right, So 147 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: Bregman's on a trial run, and by all accounts, he 148 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 2: was playing pretty well. He likes hitting at Finway, and 149 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: the team liked him, and they got rid of the 150 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 2: other third baseman to make way for Alex Bregman. But Bregman, 151 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 2: even if he plays well, he's obviously gonna opt out. 152 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 2: But even if he doesn't play well, he'll still likely 153 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: opt out and test the market again. The last time Bregman, 154 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 2: last time Alex Bregman was truly relevant, he was begging 155 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: on trash cans deep in the heart of Texas in Houston, 156 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: like he was auditioning for the Blue Man Group. Okay, 157 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: bang bang, whistle whistle. Now the Red Sox have a problem. 158 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 2: They have a compass that is busted. Their trade deadline 159 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 2: compass is busted. So I asked the question, who are 160 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: the Red Sox? Are they rebuilding? They've called up a 161 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: bunch of young players. Are they just retooling the roster? 162 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 2: Is that why they got rid of Raphael Devers? Are 163 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: they rebranding what they are? Do they even know what 164 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: they are? It seems like it's clueless the organization. They 165 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: don't know what they're doing there. Like at some point, 166 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: you gotta pick your lane, right, It's not stay in 167 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 2: your lane, it's pick your lane. 168 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: And as of now they're just stuck in gridlock traffic. 169 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: It's say, well, we're gonna trade Devors, but then we're 170 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: we're gonna hold on to Bregman, but no one. Maybe 171 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 2: we'll trade Bregman two because he's gonna leave. And all right, now, 172 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 2: last thing to the a t L. 173 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: We go just to cross the way and stayed over 174 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: a couple of states over. 175 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: There, Van the one legged Bamaman loves the Atlanta Brads. Now, 176 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,239 Speaker 2: prior to beating the Angels, the Atlanta Bres made a roster. 177 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: Move that caught my attention. 178 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: If you saw this or not, the Braves said bye 179 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: bye to outfielder Alex Verdugo. 180 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: They designated him for assignment. Now, Verdugo gets. 181 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: Booted from Georgia from the roster to make room for 182 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 2: or steroid cheat Jerkson Profar, whose suspensions finally up. He 183 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 2: cheated with the Padres and got suspended after signing a 184 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 2: massive contract with the Atlanta baseball team. So what is 185 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: the lesson of Alex Verdugo being dumped like trash. 186 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: On the side of the road by the Atlanta Braves. 187 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: So the term here designated for assignment, which comes up 188 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 2: a lot in baseball. 189 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: You've been designated for assignment. It is a polite way. 190 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: It is a polite way of saying we have seen 191 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 2: enough of you. 192 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: You're bad, you're fired. 193 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 2: But you don't say that. Instead, you say you've been 194 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: designated for assignment. 195 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: That's how you say it. Now. 196 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: Alex Verdugo was once the crown jewel of the Dodger 197 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: minor league system, and I remember reading the scouting reports 198 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 2: when Verdugo was in the minor leagues. This goes back 199 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: to like twenty eighteen, I believe it was, and he 200 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: was described as one of the best pure hitting prospects 201 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 2: in baseball in years that he had swagger and he 202 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: had a bazooka, an absolute cannon for an arm. So 203 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 2: he ended up being traded for Mookie Bets. No less, hey, 204 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 2: Mookie Bets, and so the Red Sox are like, well, 205 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: we got this great young outfielder, were made up, were 206 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 2: set up for the future. 207 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: Well the lesson. 208 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 2: The lesson is a prospect is a suspect and through 209 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: parlas and potential is not promised. 210 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: It's a curse. 211 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 2: Now it's a maybe. You know, it's like, oh, you're 212 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 2: dating is well, maybe I'll go out with it. Was No, 213 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 2: that's a weasel term. It's a whisper. That's how you 214 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: say somebody is a prospect. 215 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: We mentioned they could be a suspect. Yeah, they could 216 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: also have the star dust or they could just turn 217 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: out to be space junk. And in this case, it's 218 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: space junk. And that's it. Verdugo. Now, don't don't. 219 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 2: Miss I don't want you to take me out of counties. 220 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: He's not terrible, like he's okay. He's not great, he's fine. 221 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 2: And that's the issue. That's the problem. You depend on 222 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: these young guys and and oftentimes they turn out to 223 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: be a boondoggle where prospects. 224 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: Are not supposed to be just fine. 225 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: If you're one of the top two prospects in baseball 226 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 2: and you're hyped up as a star and you're just 227 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 2: roster spam, something's gone terribly wrong. Verdugo was never that guy. 228 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: He wasn't that guy with the Dodgers. He wasn't that 229 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 2: guy in Boston. He wasn't that guy with the Yankees. 230 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 2: He certainly is not that guy in Atlanta. He batted 231 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: two thirty nine with the Atlanta Braves. And if you 232 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 2: believe in the winds above replacement stat, the war stat 233 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 2: I had no home runs and a minus zero point 234 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 2: two war which means that he was actually worse when 235 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 2: he was out there than if he hadn't been playing. 236 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 2: So that's how you end up getting fired. Now he'll 237 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 2: he's a carpetbagger. He'll find another opportunity around baseball. He'll 238 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 2: be a fourth or fifth outfielder on another team. How 239 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 2: many jerseys is he going to rack up here?
