Through that nugget out there and it's big 19 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: long off season preview column. And I've been getting a 20 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: lot of questions, a lot of questions about Kyle Schwarber. 21 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: To the Pirates, and what is your reaction to Kyle 22 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: Schwarber and the Pirates. Jim, I recall, well, you go, Jim, 23 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'll see if you mentioned he. 24 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: Recall, well, Jim, what do you think about that? 25 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 4: My reaction is, it's the winter free agent season and 26 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 4: it is often ridiculous, and my reaction would be if 27 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,639 Speaker 4: if Kyle Schwarber signs with the Pittsburgh Pirates. 28 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: See, KYLEE. 29 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 4: Swarber's been through the postseason every year except one in 30 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 4: his career, and that's where he wants to go. 31 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: And it ain't happening for the Pirates just yet. 32 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 4: They ought to take some of that money that they 33 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 4: might inch up to pay roll and trying to figure 34 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 4: out a way to build around Paul Skins and keep 35 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 4: Paul schemes. 36 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 3: But I digress. If Kyle Schwarber ends up in Pittsburgh, 37 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 3: I will you'll do dining on that shoe? I will be, 38 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 3: I will be, I will be, I will be dining 39 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 3: on that shoe. So that's my reaction. 40 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: What were you thinking, Todd, Well, that's what I was thinking. 41 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: I remember when the Mets signed Tim Tebow to a 42 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: minor league contract and the Mets came out and I 43 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: get I guess why they I understand why they said 44 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: they when we think this guy can make the big 45 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: league one day and Jim You went on NBC Sports 46 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: Philadelphi until Michael Barkan, If Tim Deebow makes the big leagues, 47 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: I will eat my shoe. And that's exactly what I 48 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: thought when this report service that the Pirates are interested 49 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: in Kyle Schwarburn might make a run at him. So 50 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: I don't I don't see it happening. I don't see 51 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: it happening. So apparently the Pirates have about they're going 52 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: to spend maybe thirty to forty million dollars more in 53 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: payroll this year. That only gets them up to like 54 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: maybe a little over one hundred million dollars. Kyle Schwarber 55 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: wants to win, no doubt. 56 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 2: The Pittsburgh the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Tampa Bay Rays, there's 57 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: the Miami Marlins. Those teams that have not paid anything 58 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: in their payroll are getting a ton of heat from 59 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: the rest of the owners to lift up their payrolls. 60 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: They know that if they have any chance, any chance 61 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 2: at all, over these next couple of years, during the 62 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: court or this next year to get an actual cap 63 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: any chance that a floor will have to be implemented. 64 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 2: And the fact that these teams are so low in 65 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: their payroll is embarrassingly low. They're making money, they're in 66 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: the black. Some other teams, as we've seen already that 67 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: our larger market teams are in the red operating wise. 68 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: And so I mean this is a fight between ownership. 69 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 5: And I will tell you this, The chance of Kyle 70 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 5: Schwarber being in a Pittsburgh Pirate uniform after this year 71 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 5: or during the course of the twenty twenty sixth season is. 72 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: This much zero percent. That was just to appease the fans. 73 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 2: Somebody leaked it Nutting or who knows, Charrington may have 74 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 2: leaked it, or somebody would have leaked it just to 75 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 2: say that they are in on the big boys. Not happening. 76 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: They're gonna make the call and Casey and. 77 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: We have to clip that what I just said and 78 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: send it out there because it's not happening. 79 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: You know, It's like say they make say the Pirates 80 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: do make this really attractive offer for Kyle Schwarber for example, 81 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: what you know, they're probably done after that. So it's 82 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: not like the Pirates are one player away from winning 83 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: a World Series, and it's just foolish, foolish. Kylis Schwarber 84 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: wants to win a World Series, he wants to win 85 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: two World Series, he wants to win three World Series. 86 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: So I think the money has to be there, but 87 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: he also has to go to a place that he 88 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: feels like, you know, they're going to continue to do 89 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: everything they can. 90 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 4: To win and and Kevin Long is not there. Do 91 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 4: not under estimate that connection. Yes, that's something that Phillies 92 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 4: have gone for for them. 93 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: That also and when you look at the teams that 94 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,119 Speaker 2: are going to be interested in him, the Cincinnati Reds 95 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,559 Speaker 2: is one that actually is realistic because they're close. They're 96 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 2: they're pretty darn close. They've got good young players, They've 97 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 2: got a hell of a pitch young pitching staff. As 98 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: far as their rotation is concerned. That bullpen needs a 99 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 2: little work, I think. But I mean you're talking about 100 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 2: you know, you're talking about teams that are gonna be contenders, 101 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 2: and Cincinnati, Boston, Boston, those are the teams that are 102 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: in on them. At the end of the day, I 103 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: still think there's a seventy five to eighty five percent 104 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 2: chance that Kyle Schuver is. 105 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 4: Going to be at Philadelphia, and we have talked about 106 00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 4: Cincinnati now going on a year as a launcher gold place. 107 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 3: That makes sense. He grew up thirty miles outside the city. 108 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 3: He was a Reds fan. 109 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 4: He would obliterate that ballpark. It's a young, ascending team. 110 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 4: He's a giant in the community. He would have that 111 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 4: Jim Tomy effect. Jim circa twenty two thousand and three Philadelphia. 112 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 3: I just don't know that. 113 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 4: They don't have a history of spending that money, aside 114 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 4: of Joey Vada, who was their own guy. 115 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 3: And I don't really feel it. 116 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 4: And I still in my heart feel like he's coming 117 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 4: right back here to Philadelphia. 118 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 3: He's too important. 119 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 4: And everybody that makes the decisions here in science to 120 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 4: checks here knows that. 121 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 3: But we shall see. 122 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 4: One thing I feel pretty certain about Todd is he 123 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 4: won't be a fire. 124 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: Jim will be eating his shoe. So stand by for that. 125 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: So on one big move, one big free agent fell 126 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: off the board this week. It was Josh Snailor goes 127 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: to the Mariners five years, ninety two and a half 128 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: million dollars. What do you guys think that does to 129 00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: the market or. 130 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 2: I think it's a good thing for the market, for 131 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 2: the Phillies as far as Schoorber is concerned, this guy 132 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 2: had a really good season. He was super important to 133 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: them as far as you know down the stretch and 134 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: what he meant to their team. Left handed, power bat, 135 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: you know, first base DH you can't minimize like some 136 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: of the similarities. He's much much younger now physically, you know, 137 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: does that play because he's a little he's a bigger guy. 138 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: He's always sort of managed his weight. But one of 139 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 2: the things that you know, one of the things that 140 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber has done really really well is put himself 141 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 2: in a position physically to be able to perform, and 142 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 2: dhing helps him do that. But I think the numbers 143 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: themselves just what is it, like a nineteen million dollar 144 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: AAV right around that number, just under twenty, I think 145 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: that is a I think it bodes well for the 146 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: Phillies guy. I still think it's going to be a 147 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 2: five times thirty number and that helps put that in 148 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: the right spot. 149 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 3: I think. 150 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 4: I think, yeah, Schwarve was going to get more than that. 151 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 4: He was AAV this year was nineteen right Todd. 152 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: The original deal was like four years seventy nine as 153 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: I recall. 154 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, but the five years interesting, and I think Kyle 155 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 4: Schwarber is going to end up getting that fifty year somewhere. 156 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 4: I think the Phillies probably give it to him to 157 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 4: get him off the market. Just the way things roll 158 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 4: these days, you kind of give guys that extra year 159 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 4: and I hope you can get four good ones then 160 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 4: you're happy with the deal. Naylor had a hell of 161 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 4: a run in Seattle. It was good to see them 162 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 4: go out and be aggressive and bring him back. He's 163 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 4: important piece. The thing that sticks out for me about 164 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 4: Josh Naylor is the first well I remember hearing that 165 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 4: name in the draft. He was a really good prospect 166 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 4: coming out of the Toronto area. But the Phillies do 167 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 4: you remember when Oh, I remember. 168 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: How interested we were in him. 169 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: Yes, we had a. 170 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: Lot of talk about him because we had a really 171 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 2: good scout up there and brain locking on his name, 172 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: and Pat Gillick had a lot of trust in him 173 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: and he really believed in this guy. Now, the makeup 174 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 2: was an issue because he was He's got some personality, 175 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: very difficult, not the best, maybe not the best teammate, 176 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: maybe not the best actor on the team. But but 177 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 2: the bat was special, and uh what he was like 178 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: a mid round draft, wasn't he. I think he was 179 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 2: right around fifteenth or nineteenth or something like that. I 180 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: believe maybe higher. But damn good prospect man and made 181 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: himself a made himself a very very good offensive player, 182 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 2: and he moves well for a big man at first base. 183 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 4: So I remember you guys kind of digging him. But 184 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 4: even after he got into pro ball with the Marlins, 185 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 4: he was when when Matt Clintac was the GM and 186 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 4: they were gonna. 187 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 3: Move Hellickson German Hellson, remember they. 188 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 4: Had him, Yeah, and they brought him in kind of 189 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 4: stabilized rotation a little bit early in the rebuild of 190 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 4: during the rebuild now they were looking to move them. 191 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 4: I think they ended up moving him to Baltimore, but 192 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 4: there was a chance he was going to go to Miami, 193 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 4: and Josh Naylor was like this a ball player and 194 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 4: he was the guy that might come back. That was 195 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 4: what I was hearing when I was keeping my eye 196 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 4: on and it just never happened. So he's a guy 197 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 4: that I've always kind of watched a little bit for 198 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 4: that reason. 199 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: All right, we will be right back.

I feel like 233 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 2: I could go actually swing a bat right now. 234 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: That good. 235 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: I mean, they they took care of me awesome. I 236 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: know that we've had some relationships with them in the past, 237 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 2: but those folks at Rothman they were outstanding. So I 238 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 2: just wanted to spread a little love for those folks 239 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: because they're making my life feeling a lot better. 240 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 4: So you should expect maybe pay for this either. So 241 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 4: we should inspect expect a hole in one today. 242 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: Maybe not today, but tomorrow. 243 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: You were very glum Reuben a couple of weeks ago, 244 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: and you're like, I got more than back, not a little. 245 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: You were down. 246 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 2: I feel like a million dollars right now, and I'm 247 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 2: hopeful that it continues. By those folks. 248 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 3: I'm happy. It's happy to hear that. 249 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: And thanks to everybody at Rothman for getting Ruben back 250 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: on the lake. 251 00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: Way to go. 252 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 2: Turn that round upside down. 253 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: So earlier this week was the couple things happened earlier 254 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: this week. The players said that were that received qualifying 255 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: offers had to accept or reject them. As expected, Kyle 256 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: Schwarber and Rangers swore As rejected their one year twenty 257 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: two point zero two five million dollar qualifying offers. JT. 258 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: Real Muto had been offered one a few years ago 259 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: when he was first a free agent, so he was 260 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: ineligible to receive one. Just wanted to run over some 261 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: of the details on this and why it matters. So 262 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: if Schwarber and swore As signed with other teams, the 263 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: Phillies receive a compensation pick after the fourth round of 264 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty sixth draft. Now Here are the guys 265 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: that also rejected those offers, and the Phillies could sign 266 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: on any one of these guys Zach Gallon, Kyle Tucker, Franbervaldez, 267 00:13:55,080 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz, Dylan Cees, Michael King, and Bo Bishett. The 268 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: Phillies sign one of those guys, the Phillies will lose 269 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: their second and fifth highest picks in the twenty twenty 270 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 1: sixth draft, plus a million dollars from the international bonus 271 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: pool for the upcoming signing period. If they sign two 272 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: of those players, they'll also lose their third and sixth 273 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: highest picks. That's always a consideration when it comes to 274 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: signing one of those guys. Now that said, if money 275 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: were no object, any of those guys, I think Bobachett 276 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: would be on that list, right, Guys, you guys love Bobachett, 277 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: like them, Yes. 278 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 2: I'd like them a lot, and I would lose picks 279 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 2: for him. It's also the difficulty of trying to continue 280 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: to be a dynasty rights and that's where you're scouting. 281 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: You're scouting folks have to do a good job from 282 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: you know, not just in the first couple of rounds, 283 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: but they have to be solid for the next you know. 284 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: Now it's only what fifteen rounds? Is it twenty? 285 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 3: Yet it's twenty right, yeah. 286 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: And those are they've shortened up, you know, the talent pool, 287 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: and so you got to be awfully good when you're 288 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: not only just scouting you know, the guys that you're 289 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: going to draft, but also the folks that you're gonna sign. 290 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: And they did a real good job at Auto Kemp 291 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 2: for instance, this guy wasn't even drafted. So uh, that's 292 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 2: where you have to really rely on your scouts to 293 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 2: help fill in some of the folks that are that 294 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: are gonna have to help them later on. 295 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 4: Now, those are you know, those kind of stern penalties 296 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 4: and those for those come your way as you climb the. 297 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 3: Payroll ladder and go over various thresholds, the double whammy 298 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 3: triple of the tacks where. 299 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 4: They're at the fourth tax, so they're gonna get in 300 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 4: the repeat offenders, so you're gonna get you're gonna get. 301 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 3: Whacked in the draft. Much like when you guys were winning. 302 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 4: You're always picking at the bottom of rounds and it 303 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 4: hurt and then uh, you know the year you brought 304 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 4: in a Bonda as you lost your first round or 305 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 4: it hurt. Because you sustain the draft is crucial to 306 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 4: keep bringing young talent and and and to sustain. 307 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 3: That's why it all fits hand in hand. 308 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 4: That's why Justin Crawford and Aden Miller and Andrew Painter 309 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 4: need to start making an impact here soon. Homegrown younger 310 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 4: salaries keep that cycle going. 311 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: So you know, well, you mentioned Andrew Painter. The Phillies 312 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: same day on Tuesday, they had to protect players from 313 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: the Rule five draft, and they protected three players Andrew Painter, 314 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: no surprise there, Gabrielle and Raconis Junior, No surprise there. 315 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: Dave Dombrowski said in October that he thinks he could 316 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: play a role on the twenty twenty six Phillies will see. 317 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: And then the third guy that they put on the 318 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: put on the forty man roster was right handed Alex McFarlane, 319 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: who was their number twenty prospect according to MLB pipeline. 320 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: He was up there as well when we had Josh 321 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: Norris from Baseball America on. So they protected those three 322 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: guys from the Rule five draft. No real surprises out of. 323 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 3: The only real surprises. 324 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 2: And thirty three people or third four people on the 325 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: Rats now thirty three, so they have some flex a 326 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: lot of flexibility. A little bit surprised that McGriff was 327 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: not Gary McGary mcgar excuse me, Yeah, McGary was not protected. 328 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: A little bit surprised. I know that it's been an 329 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: issue for him as far as command is concerned. So 330 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 2: you may see him get pulled off the board. Some 331 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 2: team might work try to grab him, but we'll see. 332 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 2: Who knows. He might get traded to and another piece 333 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 2: as a piece, so and then somebody could. I think 334 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 2: if you acquire a guy, I think you can put 335 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: him on the forty man roster before the Rule five draft. 336 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 2: I believe that's still the rule. Just so you don't 337 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 2: you're not subject to losing that player in the draft 338 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 2: if he's not protected right now by your original team. 339 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 4: Remember the year in the Rule five drafts, you guys 340 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 4: short sheeted the Baltimore Orioles and took Chris Gomez. 341 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 2: I remember it was it was it Chris Gomez or 342 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 2: was it I think it was? I think Mike Bordik 343 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 2: or Chris Gomez. 344 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: It was it was? It was. 345 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 4: Remember that Chris Comas was a veteran player, and I 346 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 4: don't understand all the mechanics of it, remember. 347 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 2: But they were pissed off at us. 348 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 3: They had a handshake deal with him, but they didn't 349 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 3: get it. I don't know they lock him down, put 350 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 3: them on the roster. 351 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 4: They thought we should We were like, should have waited 352 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 4: till after the till after the. 353 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 2: Draft to sign the guy. You could have pushed it back. 354 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 2: It was ridiculous. Jim Batty and Flannagan. Where I think 355 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: were the duel was the Flanagan and Baty or. 356 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 3: I think it was a dual. 357 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: They had ship right, Yeah. 358 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 3: We know they were. They were on fire. They were 359 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 3: so mad at you. 360 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 2: I know we had a discussion with him, and the agent. 361 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 3: Was mad and the player with everybody was mad. Oh yeah, 362 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 3: we'll talk about it. 363 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 2: We have some things to talk about later. 364 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 1: Other guys that the Phillies did not protect that I 365 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: guess could have been taken. Felix Reis, who was the 366 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: in Double A, had a huge year in Double A. 367 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: Caleb Ricketts the catcher, he's the Phillies number twenty two prospect. 368 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: And then then there's you know a couple of extra 369 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: pitchers that had been mentioned me. I think Josh Norris 370 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: had actually mentioned Saul Tran who had a you know, 371 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: nice reliever. And Andrew Baker was like once a prospect 372 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: and just a couple of couple of names I wanted 373 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: to not saying that they're gonna take get taken, but 374 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: just some names that they had maybe kicked around. You 375 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: think this guy could taken, Probably not for they left 376 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: him off the they left them. 377 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 4: So my little mini takeaway from obviously Painter and Ricconez 378 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 4: were no kind of no brainer or something. Painter absolute 379 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 4: no brainer, but they didn't protect Rickets, which you know, 380 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 4: I'm not sure they were going to do that anyway, 381 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 4: but it kind of leads me to zero. 382 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 3: Went on the catching a little bit. They're thin. 383 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 4: I mean, if they were to lose a guy like that, 384 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 4: they're gonna be thin in depth. I think that area 385 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 4: they need to continue to address here this winter and 386 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 4: pursue some young catching and even in you know, further 387 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 4: drafts and whatnot. 388 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 3: And then I'm intrigued by McFarland. 389 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 4: He apparently has a great slider, kind of you know, 390 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 4: big time slider, and we see relievers move fast when 391 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 4: they have you know, that one pitch. 392 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 3: That they can hang their hat on. 393 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 4: So uh, you know, there might be something there that 394 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 4: they can really continue to develop and maybe he turns 395 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 4: into a contributor they saw enough out of him, obviously, 396 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 4: and we're we're concerned enough obviously that somebody else would 397 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 4: take him that he's he's on the radar. 398 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that what happened Kerkering, right, I mean Kirkering 399 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 2: came really cool. 400 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 3: He rode one pitch. 401 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, he rode that one slurve, slider, whatever you want 402 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 2: to call it. I think I'm going to abandon the 403 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: slurve in my broadcast from now on. I think I'm 404 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: gonna go slider and curveball. I'm going back old school slider, 405 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 2: her and cutter. 406 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: Well, you know, I remember in Anaheim a few years ago, 407 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: we were talking I think it was about Kirkering actually 408 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: talking to Rob Thompson. No more sweeper, Yeah, we we 409 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: mean I mentioned sweepers, like, I'm not calling it a sweeper. 410 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm not calling it sweeper anymore, Rob, Yeah, exactly right. 411 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 2: Think of the sweeper. It's a curveball or it's a slider, so, uh, 412 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 2: what are you it's a it's a curveball. If it's shorter, 413 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 2: it's a slider, absolutely, and if it cuts, it's a cutter. 414 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 2: It's a What about a fosh? 415 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: You go a fosh? 416 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 2: I have no fashes. 417 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 3: Do you remember the fosh? 418 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: I remember the flash? 419 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 3: You remember who threw it? 420 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 2: I'm going to be pissed off when I don't when 421 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: you say the name Mike Boker. That's exactly right. Mike 422 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 2: threw the flash from Baltimore. 423 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 4: And I remember Rod Nichols actually must have the late 424 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 4: great Rod Nichols must have used it a little bit 425 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 4: of his career, because I remember talking to him about it, 426 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 4: and he was kind of I remember trying to teach you, 427 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 4: trying to teach you to Brett Mars. It's a variation 428 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 4: of a change up, you know, yeah, change uh, slow 429 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 4: the ball, slow the ball down, with with with fastball 430 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 4: arm action. 431 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 3: There's a lot of way to It's like barbecue sauce. 432 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 4: You know, a lot of different ways to make it, 433 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 4: a lot of different ways to throw a change up. 434 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: What matters, does it tastes good? 435 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: Absolutely?

You guys will be sitting 437 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: at home on your phone, you know, maybe trying to 438 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: figure out who got tendered and who got non tendered. Oh, 439 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: the non tender deadline, guys, is Friday night. 440 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 2: He thought, did they move that in between. 441 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's still eight o'clock, but. 442 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 3: What midnight used to be midnight? 443 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: Nevertheless, it is going to be Friday night. Friday is 444 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: the non tender deadline, and the Phillies have some decisions 445 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: to make. I think most of them are pretty straightforward. 446 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to go through the guys that are eligible, 447 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: are under team control, that need to be tendered contracts 448 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: by Friday, Tanner Banks, Alec Boham, Juandran Jesus Lozardo, Raphael Marshan, 449 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: Brandon marsh Ed Mutndo Sosa, Bryce and Stott and Garrett Stubbs. 450 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: Anybody in that list do you think could be non tendered. 451 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 2: I think they'll do a deal with Stubbs prior again 452 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 2: like they did last year. I see, that's my guess, 453 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 2: but they may not. He'd be the only guy that'll 454 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 2: be a threatened non tenor that they need. 455 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: They need all those guys. 456 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 3: And they'll pay him. 457 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 2: They're happy to pay him, put them in the system. 458 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 2: I believe in an arbitration process that sorts just you know, 459 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 2: you're it sets their salary. I mean, listen, it's a 460 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 2: necessary evil. But as far as making and negotiating, I 461 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 2: got no problem with it because you pay them what 462 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 2: they're worth exactly almost exactly what you're they're. 463 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: Worth, right, exactly, right, Yeah, Subs. Subs is probably the 464 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: only guy borderline guy. The rest of them are all 465 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: are all brainers. So okay, we're gonna getting close to 466 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: wrapping this up. I want to mention that the MLB 467 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: announced on Wednesday that the Field of Dream game Field 468 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: of Dreams game between the Phillies and Twins will be 469 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: in Iowa on August thirteenth. They'll be broadcast on Netflix. 470 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: Have you guys ever been to Iowa? Rubin, You've probably 471 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: been at minor leagues Iowa. 472 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been there, but I haven't been to that field. 473 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: I would love to go. I'm not sure if I 474 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: will be on that broadcast team. 475 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: I don't. 476 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 2: I think Netflix is carrying it and I don't think 477 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 2: that we're going to be able to carry it locally. 478 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: But you know, another development was that they MLB came 479 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 2: up with a contract, three year deal for coverage of 480 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 2: their games. They had a great year. At the end 481 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 2: of the year, they got NBC on board. Now they've 482 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 2: got Netflix and they also have ESPN back as well. 483 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: Absolutely so, and then I wanted to mention this, you know, 484 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: as the baseball season ends. You know, I tried to watch, 485 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: you know, Miss Baseball. So I was watching a show, 486 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: a documentary recently, and did you know one of us 487 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: has made a cameo on a nationally broadcast Netflix documentary. 488 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: Look at that guy? Oh my god, look at that guy. 489 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: That's Jim Salisbury. Jim Salisbury making a late cameo in 490 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: the Netflix documentary Who Killed the Montreal Expos I did kill? 491 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 2: I'm so sad that you're dead and I'd love to 492 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 2: have him back. 493 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 3: Jim. 494 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: Jim wrote about the death of the Montreal Expos And 495 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: I'm watching that documentary. It was a few weeks ago, 496 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: and I'm sitting there and going, holy crap, there's Jim. 497 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: It's funny because I remember, Jim, you going up for 498 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: that final home game in Montreal in two thousand and four. Right. 499 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 4: I went up there and it was a surreal night. 500 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 4: I was expecting a riot, but there was no riot. 501 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 4: And it was really bitter sweet. It was not a bittersweet, 502 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 4: it was a bit sad. It was sad because I 503 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 4: love that city.
