1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Thank you for the Arnyman, Boy Girl longand Ben Wade Martin. 2 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 2: Welcome to Massa Territory, ladies and gentlemen. Hope you all 3 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 2: had a great weekend. How about that World Series? One 4 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: of the best Game sevens of all time. In the end, 5 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: the Dodgers found a way to win back to back 6 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: World Series, but you gotta tip the cap to the 7 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 2: Toronto Blue Jays man incredible performance from them. They took 8 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 2: an extremely talented Dodgers team all the way down to 9 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 2: the wire. There were three outs away from winning that 10 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: World Series, but in the end, the Dodgers came up big. 11 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: Incredible Game seven. Again, tip of the cap to the 12 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: Blue Jays. But we gotta move forward here. It's officially 13 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: the offseason. I love the off season and I'm hoping 14 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 2: for a big one from the Red Sox this year. 15 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 2: We'll see what ends up happening. But we got a 16 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: few things to talk about in this episode tonight. I'm 17 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: gonna be reacting to some predictions out there. We got 18 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: some friendly friends over at mass Live that came out 19 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 2: with their predictions today. I'm gonna give you my thoughts 20 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: on those, and we do have some news when it 21 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 2: came to a couple of guys with some opt outs. 22 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: Shocker Alex Bregman opting out of his contract, Lucas Gildo 23 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: declining his mutual option. He's a free agent. I'll give 24 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: you my thoughts on that. And we're also going to 25 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: be diving in here to some awards. We had a 26 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 2: couple of goal Glove winners this past weekend. I think 27 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: you already know who they are, and we got a 28 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: couple of finalists as well. When it comes to the 29 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: cy Young I think you already know who that is. 30 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: And Rookie of the Year, I think you know who 31 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: that is too. But i'll give you my thoughts on 32 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: that in just a little bit. But everybody, before I 33 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: get started here, if you can hit the like button, 34 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: subscribe if you're new, let's get to it here. But 35 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: before I get to those news though, I do want 36 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: to go over some offseason dates to be aware of. 37 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: So let's go take a look at those, shall we. 38 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: So obviously today it's the first day of the offseason. 39 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: That's why you're seeing all of these opt outs left 40 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: and right. Players can become free agents as of today. 41 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: Later this week it is gonna be the deadline to 42 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: tender qualifying offers. Now, the qualifying offer for this coming 43 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: off season is twenty two million dollars, something to be 44 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: aware of as well. Next week you're gonna be having 45 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: the general managers meetings out in Las Vegas from the 46 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: tenth through the thirteenth. Now, with those meetings, that's more 47 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: so you know, trying to get a feel for the market. 48 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: You know, you're not really seeing a whole lot of 49 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: moves in the general managers meetings. You know, you have 50 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 2: seen a couple in the past, but not really the 51 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: place you are going to see any blockbusters by any means. 52 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: You got the owners meetings in a couple of weeks. 53 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: November eighteenth, it's the deadline for players to accept qualifying offers. 54 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 2: So I wonder if Lucas Giolito could get a qualifying offer. 55 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 2: I'll talk about that in just a little bit. November 56 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: twenty first, the deadline to tender all unsigned players, including 57 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: those arbitration eligible. So the big name for the Red 58 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: Sox you're looking at Nathaniel Low projected arbitration salary around 59 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: thirteen million for next year. I imagine they're not gonna 60 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: tender that, So that's something to be aware of. You know, 61 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: you got some other guys, you know, maybe Tanner, how 62 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: possibly I wonder if Cutter Crawford could be in that mix. 63 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: Probably not, but I don't know. You got a few 64 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: guys that are arbitration eligible that maybe could be on 65 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 2: that list. We'll just have to wait and see about that. 66 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: And the big one, the biggest week of the offseason 67 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: the Winter Meetings from December eighth through the eleventh. Those 68 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: are in Orlando, and spoiler alert, I am gonna be 69 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: at the Winter Meetings this year. I'm gonna be trying 70 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: to get all the juicy gossip that I can. I'm 71 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: gonna be trying to find all the scoopy scoops that 72 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: I can, so definitely stay tuned for that. You got 73 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 2: the draft lottery December ninth, that's during the Winter Meetings. 74 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: You have the Rule five draft on December tenth. December 75 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: fifteenth to twenty twenty international signing period ends January eighth. 76 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: That's when arbitration eligible players and teams can start to 77 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: exchange figures. And this is always an interesting time because 78 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: teams don't want to go to an arbitration hearing. You 79 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 2: never want to do that because when you go to 80 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 2: a hearing. That's when you have a third party sitting 81 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 2: with you and you have to explain to them why 82 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: you shouldn't be paying this player more money. And that's 83 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: where you can hurt feelings. You just never want to 84 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: go there, right, So that's always an interesting time. And 85 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: January fifteenth, I think one of the more underrated times 86 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 2: of the year. That's when the next international signing period begins. 87 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: So you're gonna be having a lot of young names 88 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 2: coming out of the Dominican Republic out of Venezuela, and 89 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: the Red Sox are usually active in that market. So 90 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: excited to see how that goes. Now let's move on 91 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 2: here to the news. Let's move on to the news 92 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 2: and Alex Bregman Lucas Gilido going into free agency not 93 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: a big surprise. But you know, I'll say this, Remember 94 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 2: there were people out there when Bregman first signed that 95 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 2: contract with the Red Sox. People out there were saying, oh, 96 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: there's no way he's going to opt out of that 97 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 2: contract forty million dollars. Why would he turn that down? 98 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: So don't forget people were saying that. And listen, I've 99 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: been saying from the get go, I think he would 100 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: opt out because Alex Bregman is one of the better 101 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: players in baseball for a while. He wants a long 102 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: term offer. He wants that long term security. So last 103 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: offseason he didn't quite get the money that he was 104 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: looking for. So he said, all right, you know what, 105 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: I'll take the short term deal with the forty million 106 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: dollars per year with deferred money of course, and he said, 107 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: all right, well we'll try again next year. So not 108 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 2: surprised about this at all. You all know how I 109 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 2: feel about Alex Bregman. I've been saying this from the 110 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 2: get go. I do think in the end he finds 111 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 2: a way to come back to the Red Sox. I 112 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: just don't think his market is really all that great. 113 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: I mean, sure there are other teams out there on 114 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 2: paper that he would fit with, right I mean, you 115 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: look at some teams, you know, kind of similar teams 116 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: that we saw last offseason. The Tigers, I wouldn't be 117 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 2: surprised to see them kick the tires again. The Mariners, 118 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 2: you know, they have they have an opening at third base, 119 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: you know, the Phillies. You know, maybe they can shake 120 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: some things up there. Alec Ball maybe can trade him 121 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: whatever it may be. We'll talk about Bregman here in 122 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: a little bit, But I just think in the end, 123 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 2: the best fit is with the Red Sox. I think 124 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 2: they eventually come to terms on a new contract that 125 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: makes sense for both sides, and Lucas Gioledo declining his 126 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 2: part of the mutual option. You don't usually see mutual 127 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: options get exercised very rare. I believe it's under I 128 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: know it's under twenty going back over the last you know, 129 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 2: twenty or so years, maybe even less than that, under 130 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 2: fifteen or ten. Possibly I have to go look, but 131 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 2: not very many have been exercised, so I'm not surprised 132 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: about this at all. And with Gildo, the one thing 133 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: people are wondering about is are the Red Sox going 134 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 2: to offer him the qualifying offer right around twenty two 135 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: million dollars? So with Gialdo, the mutual option was under 136 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: twenty million dollars I believe eighteen nineteen million. So he's 137 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: gonna see if he can get that qualifying offer. That's 138 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: what I think. The question is will the Red Sox 139 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: offer it? And I've seen people make the argument, well, okay, 140 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: they gave Nick Pavetta the qualifying offer last year. Why 141 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: wouldn't they do that with Gielito? He was solid this year, 142 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: he all right a three point four to one. But 143 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 2: the metrics, that's something you have to pay attention to here, 144 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: and that's a big difference between him and Nick Pavetta. Now, 145 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: the FIP was at a four point one seven, so 146 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: if you take a look here, you know, the walk 147 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 2: rate was fine, right around three and a half. The 148 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: home run rate was very good home run per nine, 149 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: but the strikeout seven and a half per nine, that's 150 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 2: not a whole lot. So the difference with Pavetta when 151 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: he was with the Red Sox, as you can see here, 152 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: he was still getting a good amount of strikeouts, he 153 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: was limiting the walks. The one problem that he was 154 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: having was giving up a lot of home runs. So 155 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: that's why the Padres ended up being a great fit. 156 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: They got a picture friendly park out there, so they said, hey, 157 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: we'll take those strikeouts in the walks and those home 158 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: runs are definitely gonna go down here in San Diego. 159 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: So Nick Pivetta, because of the strikeouts in the walks, 160 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: ended up getting himself a solid contract and turned down 161 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: the qualifying offer. So the Red Sox they were smart 162 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: on that end for offering him the qualifying offers. So 163 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: they thought, hey, you know what, he's got the strikeouts 164 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: in the walks. We think he's gonna decline that and 165 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: then we'll get a draft pick for it. So they 166 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: ended up being very smart from the Red Sox point 167 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: of view. But for Gilito, you know, I don't know 168 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 2: if the Red Sox offer him it because when you 169 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: take a look at the metrics here, you know, he 170 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: doesn't get a lot of swing and miss. He doesn't 171 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 2: get a lot of strikeouts, you know. Like I said, 172 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 2: the walks weren't bad, but they weren't great either. He 173 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: was in the thirtieth percentile. So that's the big difference 174 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: with Giolito Paveta. Paveta had better metrics, Giolito not so much. 175 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 2: Was he solid this year for the Red Sox. Did 176 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 2: he get the job done? 177 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 3: Yes? 178 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 2: But moving forward, is he still going to have that 179 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: same success? I don't know. Usually when the strikeout numbers 180 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: are pretty low, along with walking guys as well, you 181 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: tend to see regression. So I wonder if the Red 182 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 2: Sox think, you know what, they've probably gotten the most 183 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: they can out of Gildo and I think he probably 184 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 2: ends up moving on. I don't see the Red Sox 185 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 2: offering him the qualifying offer. That's just my opinion. You 186 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: never know. Maybe the Red Sox feel like they can 187 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: get him to another level. Obviously things worked out this year. 188 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: We'll see. My guess is they're not going to offer 189 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: him the qualifying offer. But there's also the fact too, 190 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 2: they have a lot of pitching in the fold. It's 191 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 2: funny saying that because just a couple of years ago 192 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 2: it felt like the Red Sox had no pitching. But 193 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 2: they've really developed some guys over the last couple of years. 194 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: Peyton totally Connolly early, you know, showing some things this 195 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: past year. Don't forget Cutter Crawford. He's going to be 196 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: coming back in twenty twenty six. Patrick Sandoval, don't forget 197 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: about him. They signed him to a two year deal 198 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: last offseason. They were thinking he would make his way 199 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 2: back here at some point in twenty twenty five. So 200 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 2: I imagine he is going to be a part of 201 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 2: the mix in some way, shape or form here in 202 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. So you my mother got you know, 203 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: Luis Parals, he's in fallball right now. That stuff is 204 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: looking very good. So you have options here, you know, 205 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 2: go even further than that. Taking a look here. You know, 206 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: Kyle Harrison, don't forget about him. They brought him back 207 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 2: in the Raffie Devers trade. Richard Fitz had some issues 208 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 2: of this year with the arm Hunter Dobbins had the injury. 209 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 2: But those guys figure to work back at some point 210 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, you know. So you got guys, 211 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 2: and I just think at this point you got too many. 212 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: So Giolito, I think, you know, sure, solid year from 213 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 2: him this year, but I just think there's too much 214 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 2: going on, so I don't think he's gonna get the 215 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 2: qualifying offer. That's just my opinion though. Let me know 216 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: what you think down below in the comments here. So 217 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: moving on, moving on here, we got some awards to 218 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 2: talk about, and we got some finalists for Cy Young 219 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 2: and Rookie of the Year. Let's pull this up here 220 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: and listen. Not surprised about the Gold Glove winners from 221 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: this past weekend, will you or brave? Saidam RAPHI, No 222 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: question to me. Glad they voted correctly here. I was 223 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 2: afraid they were gonna give the gold Glove, you know, 224 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 2: to Julio Rodriguez out there. You know, Julio Rodriguez. He 225 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 2: is one of the young stars of the game. And 226 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 2: go back to the All Star Game. A lot of 227 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: people were, you know, saying, hey, Seti probably should have 228 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 2: gone to the All Star Game over j Rod because 229 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 2: the numbers were looking better with Seti at that time. 230 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 2: You know, sure, Jay Rod ended up heating up in 231 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: the second half and Seti took a bit of a 232 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: step back with the bat in the second half, came 233 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: up with a couple of clutch hits. But you know, 234 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 2: that was making me a little weary because Major League Baseball, 235 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 2: you know, they're trying to promote that guy, right, But 236 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: the voters they got this correct with both Sadan Raphaela 237 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: and will hear bra Now Seti. According to Fangrafts, he 238 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: was the best defensive center fielder in all of Major 239 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 2: League Baseball this year, even ahead of Pete krarm Strong 240 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: wasn't even close in my opinion. And then will he 241 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 2: or bray you he was considered the best defensive right 242 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: field by Fangrafts in all of Major League Baseball. He 243 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 2: was a little ahead of Fernando Tatis Junior. Now at 244 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 2: Tatis he put up great numbers defensively as well, but 245 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: Willier he did it in a smaller sample, so I 246 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 2: think Willier man, this guy was phenomenal this year. Fifteen 247 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 2: defensive run saved. He had RPM plus minus run saved 248 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 2: above average at eleven that had fifteen defensive runs saved, 249 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 2: fifteen defensive runs saved, eight outs above average, and eight 250 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: fielding run value. Phenomenal year defensively for will your brave. Now, 251 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: when it comes to the finalists for these upcoming awards, 252 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: we're looking at cy young and Rookie of the Year 253 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 2: and I hate to say this, ladies and gentlemen, I 254 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: would love to say love to say that Garrett Crochet 255 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: is going to win the award for the American League. 256 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 2: I just don't see him beating Trek school Scooble was 257 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 2: absolutely insane this past year, had the better elra overall, 258 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 2: had a good amount of strikeouts, just like Crochet. Crochet 259 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 2: was phenomenal. The one problem is he had Trek Scouble 260 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: in front of him. 261 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 3: Right. 262 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 2: If you were to give a grade Croche to Crochet, 263 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 2: you're looking at a plus plus. Trek Scouble was an 264 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 2: a plus plus plus plus. So it's unfortunate. I don't 265 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: think Krochet is gonna win this. He absolutely will get votes, 266 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 2: especially for second place votes. But this is gonna be 267 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 2: Schooble's award. And when it comes to Rookie of the Year, listen, 268 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 2: I would love to say Roman Anthony, the guy looked phenomenal, 269 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: but Nick Kurtz, man, this guy was out of his 270 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: freaking mind this past year. Holy cow, Nick Kertz, this 271 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: guy just put up phenomenal numbers. I mean, let's go 272 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: take a look at these numbers here, shall we? I mean, 273 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: look at these numbers here, one hundred and seventeen games. 274 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: He put up a four point six f wour in 275 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: his rookie year. He hit two ninety three eighty three 276 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 2: on bas a six nineteen, slugging thirty six home runs 277 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 2: on one seventy WRC plus. When he got drafted, he 278 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: was one of the guys I was looking at saying 279 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: I think he would be one of the best players 280 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 2: coming out of this draft. The guy was phenomenal at 281 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: wake Forest. He was an absolute monster in the box. 282 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 2: I was all over Nick Kurtz coming out of that draft, 283 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: and here he is just a monster this year. Now 284 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: with Roman, hey, listen, great numbers from Roman this past year, 285 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 2: but we all know ended up missing the final month 286 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: of the season, so that definitely hurt him in the end. 287 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: The numbers were great, hit two ninety two, three ninety 288 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 2: six on base four sixty three on the slugging a 289 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 2: one forty WRC plus, but the power from Kurtz, the 290 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 2: fact that Kurtz played more games as well. There's no 291 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 2: way Roman's gonna win this award. But glad that we 292 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 2: got a couple of gold gloves. Let's see if Crochet 293 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 2: can go win that Cy Young next year. Let's go 294 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: see if Roman Anthony can win the MVP next year. 295 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 2: I think Roman Anthony would like an MVP over Rookie. 296 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 3: Of the Year. 297 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 2: We'll just wait and see. Now. Moving on here, moving on, 298 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: we got some predictions to go look at.

It's always 337 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 2: fun to read this, So here we go. Let's dive 338 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 2: into this, shall we Let's dive into this. We're gonna 339 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 2: go through this pretty quickly. Number one, the most expensive 340 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: free agent the Red Sox will sign this winner is 341 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 2: Chris Catillo. Thinks Kyle Schwarber. Now here's the thing with 342 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber, right, I would love for the Red Sox 343 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 2: to go bring in Kyle Schwarber, absolutely, that big bat 344 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 2: in the middle of the order, bringing him back to Boston. 345 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 2: I would love that this past year hit fifty six 346 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 2: home runs, had a five sixty three on the slugging 347 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: at three sixty five on base one fifty two WRC plus. 348 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 2: I got to disagree with it, though, I got to disagree. 349 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 2: I would love it if they found a way to 350 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 2: do it, absolutely, but I think the Phillies are just 351 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 2: not gonna let him go. I just can't see it. 352 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 2: Schwarber has a lot of connections with the city of Philadelphia. 353 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: He's great within the organization, great clubhouse guy as well, 354 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: lots of relationships there. I just think in the end 355 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 2: he's gonna find a way. Dave dem Browse, he's gonna 356 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 2: find a way to keep him in the fold. But 357 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 2: it's not just the you know, the connections with the city, 358 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 2: the clubhouse, the organization. It's also he's still just very good. 359 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: Kind of reminds me of Nelson Cruz in a way, 360 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: you know, a bat in his thirties that just doesn't 361 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 2: seem to wind down, that he just keeps getting better 362 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 2: and better. I think Schwarber is going to be that 363 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 2: moving forward over the next few years. And Nelson Cruz, 364 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: that guy was a monster. I think Kyle Schwarber can 365 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: absolutely do that. Sew McAdam, Alex Bregman, listen, I agree. Actually, 366 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 2: I do think he is going to be the most 367 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: expensive free ation. I don't think he's going to be 368 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 2: the only one, though, but I do think Bragman will 369 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 2: come back. I've already given you my reasons multiple times. 370 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 2: Not gonna go over that again. Now for Christopher Smith, 371 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: he says Pete Alonso is going to be the most 372 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 2: expensive acquisition. I agree that the Red Sox are going 373 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 2: to find a way to bring Alonso into the fold. 374 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: They need that power back at Famway Park from the 375 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 2: right side. I think that's a great fit. That's exactly 376 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 2: what they need for the middle of the order. But 377 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 2: I disagree that he's going to be the most expensive acquisition. 378 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 2: Now with Bregman, I think he's gonna end up costing 379 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 2: more because he's going to give you the higher wins 380 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 2: above replacement. He gives you value both offensively and defensively. 381 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: With Alonso, he's not really gonna give you a whole lot. Defensively. 382 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 2: You could put him out there at first base, but 383 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 2: it's not gonna be all that great. He's looking like 384 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 2: a future DH in the end. So Alonzo's not gonna 385 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 2: have a higher war than Bregman, and that's what front 386 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 2: offices are paying for. They're paying for wins. Sorry to 387 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 2: do the moneyball thing, but that is how it works 388 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 2: with the front offices. But I agree I think Alonso 389 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,959 Speaker 2: does come to the Red Sox, but I think Bregman 390 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 2: is going to even more expensive. Moving on to the 391 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 2: second question, Alex Bregman will sign with the Chris Catillo 392 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 2: says the Mariners. Now I disagree with this. I don't 393 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 2: think the Mariners are gonna sign Alex Bregman. You got 394 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 2: to look at the Mariners historically when it comes to spending, 395 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 2: they don't usually spend a whole lot. Now, Josh Naylor, 396 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: I can see someone like that instead. He's gonna be 397 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: a lot cheaper than Alex Bregman. And he was very 398 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 2: good for the Mariners after getting traded there from the deadline, 399 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 2: put up great numbers of them hit well in the 400 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 2: postseason two. And I think the Mariners, if they were 401 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 2: to spend money, I think they would rather just keep 402 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 2: Nailer around for the long haul. And I think they're 403 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: eventually gonna work something out with him. I think they'll 404 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 2: figure out a contract. So but for Bregman, he's gonna 405 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,479 Speaker 2: be a lot more expensive and at that ballpark. Listen, 406 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 2: I know Bregman has said in the past he can 407 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 2: hit anywhere, right, but listen, he's a perfect fit at 408 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: Famway Park. The bad at ball metrics don't look amazing 409 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: with Bregman. So that's why I think he needs to 410 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 2: stay at Famway Park. That is just a better fit overall, 411 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 2: and obviously all the reasons that I've mentioned right, great 412 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: relationship with the organization over this past year, great relationship 413 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: in the clubhouse. He changed the culture. Could he go 414 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: to the Mariners? You know, could the Mariners you know, 415 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: drop a load of cash for the first time and 416 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 2: you know how long? I don't see it now. So unfortunately, 417 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: Chris I gotta disagree with that. Sean McCadam, he thinks 418 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 2: the Red Sox, he does say here there will be 419 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 2: interest from the Cubs and Tigers, but ultimately a five 420 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 2: year deal keeps him in Boston. I don't see why 421 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 2: the Cubs would show interest. Matts show he showed some 422 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 2: good things in the second half. You already got Nico 423 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 2: Horner over at second base, obviously, Dansby at shortstop. They're 424 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 2: in field set. I just don't see the Cubs really 425 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: showing a whole lot of interest. I mean, you know, sure, 426 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 2: you know, do you have that DH spot, you know, 427 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 2: freed up and you can rotate guys in and out 428 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: there yeah, I mean, you could always do that, but 429 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,479 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think the Cubs that was a 430 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 2: better fit last year. I don't see that. I could 431 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 2: see the Tigers making a phone call absolutely, But in 432 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: the end, I agree with McCadam. He thinks he's gonna 433 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 2: go back to the Red Sox. Christopher Smith says the Phillies, 434 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 2: and I just disagree with this one too. The Phillies. 435 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 2: They do need to shake things up there. I agree 436 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 2: they need to do something a little bit different, but 437 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 2: they got to find a way to keep Kyle Schwarber 438 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 2: in the fold, and I think they got to make 439 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 2: moves in other ways. I think they gotta get out 440 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: of the contract from Castiano's he was not very good 441 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 2: this past year. Defensively, is a liability out in right field, 442 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 2: so I think they need to improve the defense out 443 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 2: there in right I think they need to maybe add 444 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 2: an arm or two for the bullpen. And I just 445 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 2: don't see the Phillies dropping another massive contract on Bregman, 446 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: who you know is in his thirties now coming off 447 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: the quad injury this past year. I think from the 448 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 2: Phillies point of view, that's not a great investment. I 449 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 2: think for the Red Sox point of view, because the 450 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 2: relationships have already been established and he showed great things 451 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 2: at Famway Park this past year. That makes more sense 452 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 2: for the Red Sox moving forward. For the Phillies, I 453 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: just don't really see it. Sure, could you trade Alec Boum, 454 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 2: you know, get some other pieces back. Absolutely, But you 455 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 2: also have to think about this from the Phillies point 456 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 2: of view too. They got Aiden Miller there, you know, 457 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 2: one of the top prospects in the game. He's gonna 458 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 2: be their next third baseman. And why would he sign 459 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 2: Alex Bregman long term when you got Aiden Miller coming 460 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 2: up the pipe. I don't see the Phillies at all, 461 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: So I disagree with that. Moving on to the third question, 462 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 2: Lucas Giolito will sign with the Chris Catillo says the Cubs. 463 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 2: I think the Cubs could actually be a pretty good 464 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 2: home for him. They got a good pitching lab over there, 465 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 2: you know, with I think the one area he needs 466 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 2: to focus on to, you know, try and get back 467 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 2: to what he was doing the White Sox when he 468 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 2: put up a five war a four war there. That 469 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 2: was fastball looked good this past year, but the secondary 470 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 2: that was fastball did have a lot of success this 471 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 2: past year, but when it came to the run value 472 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 2: on both the slider and the changeup and not so much. 473 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 2: So I think he needs to go somewhere where they 474 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 2: can up those secondaries a little bit. I think the 475 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: Cubs they could make some sense there. I think the 476 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 2: Houston Astros can make a lot of sense. You know, 477 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: they've done pretty well with pictures over the last few years, 478 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 2: getting more out of them. Right, take a look at 479 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 2: what they did with yuse Kakuchi after the trade deadline. 480 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 2: I mean he looked great for them, Renelle Blanco. I 481 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 2: mean that guy came out of nowhere. I also wonder 482 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 2: about the Nationals if Giolito isn't able to get a 483 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: good offer. Obviously, you know Paul Taboni coming from the 484 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 2: Red Sox to the Nationals, and if they end up 485 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: trading Mackenzie Gore, they're gonna need some inning. So maybe 486 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 2: that could be a good landing spot for Giledo to 487 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 2: try and build that value up even more. I could 488 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 2: see the Nash possibly, and hey, he was drafted by 489 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 2: the Nationals way back when. Now McAdam says the Mets, 490 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 2: I think that could be a pretty good home as well. 491 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 2: You know, take a look at what they've done with 492 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 2: a few guys over the last couple of years. You know, 493 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 2: Clay Holmes, they converted him from a reliever to a 494 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 2: starter this year. That worked out pretty well. He put 495 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 2: up some pretty decent numbers. 496 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 3: You know. 497 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 2: Look at Luis Severino, had a lot of down years 498 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 2: of the Yankees. They brought him in. He looked good. 499 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 2: They got Sean and I turned around. You know, sure 500 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 2: he had some injuries of this past year, but he 501 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 2: looked great in twenty twenty four. So I think the 502 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 2: Mets could be a good landing spot as well. But 503 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 2: I think with the Mets they're gonna be looking for 504 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 2: top of the rotation kind of guys. I think they're 505 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 2: set up really well to go for a trade. I 506 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 2: hate to say Joe Ryan, but I think they're gonna 507 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 2: be in that market. Could they go after Trek schoobl 508 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 2: You know, it would be a rental for a year, 509 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 2: but you know, maybe the Mets do that. So Gilito, 510 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 2: I don't think he'll be at the top of the list, 511 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: but he's a guy that I could see the Mets 512 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 2: having their eye on. And Christopher Smith says the Red Sox. Again, 513 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 2: I just don't think the Red Sox is gonna offer 514 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 2: him the qualifying offer they need to and money elsewhere. 515 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 2: So I don't see, you know, like a two or 516 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 2: three year deal. He says here, Boston should extend Giolito 517 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 2: a one year, twenty two million dollar qualifying offer, and 518 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 2: it makes sense for him to take it after the 519 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 2: late season injury. Well that's another factor as well. Why 520 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 2: would the Red Sox, you know, after the injury that 521 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 2: he had and the metrics didn't look great this past year, 522 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 2: take the sentimental part out of it, take the emotional 523 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 2: part out of it. Why would the Red Sox want 524 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 2: to offer that? You know? Again, sure they built a 525 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 2: relationship this past year. He's been with them for the 526 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: last couple of years now, unless they feel like that 527 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 2: they can help him, you know, get to that next 528 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 2: level again, maybe, but I don't know, I just don't 529 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 2: see that. Moving on to number four, Boston's opening day 530 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 2: rotation will consist of Chris Catillo, says Garrett Crochet, Mackenzie Gore, 531 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 2: Brian Bao, Michael King, Patrick Sandoval or Cutter Crawford. Now 532 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 2: I find this interesting because he has the Red Sox 533 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 2: adding two starting pictures to the rotation. Now this past weekend, 534 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 2: in my annual free agent prediction video, I added one 535 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: more prediction for the Red Sox. Now last week in 536 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: my predictions episode for the Red Sox, I went with 537 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 2: them trading for Joe Ryan and signing Pete Alonso, but 538 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 2: it added one more with the Red Sox signing Shane Bieber. 539 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 2: Now I've slept on it a little bit. I'm still 540 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: not sure quite how I'm feeling about it. I feel 541 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 2: like it might be a little too much, but we'll 542 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 2: see what ends up happening. But when it came to 543 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: the Red Sox going after Shane Bieber last offseason, they 544 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 2: were very aggressive for him. He ended up going back 545 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 2: to Cleveland, of course, that's why they pivoted a Walker Bueller. 546 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 2: That didn't work out, obviously, but at the deadline they 547 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 2: were popping up a little bit for Bieber before he 548 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 2: went to the Blue Jays. So I wonder if again 549 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 2: they make another run at him. We'll see what ends 550 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 2: up happening. But listen, he's a veteran guy that I 551 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 2: think would be a really nice fit behind Garrett Crochet 552 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 2: while also bringing in someone else like Joe Ryan or 553 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: maybe even Mackenzie Gore real quick for everyone on, we 554 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 2: are at a time. But if you want to see 555 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 2: the rest of the show, coming over to Masta Territory 556 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 2: on YouTube and see what I gotta say. But everybody on, nesson, 557 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 2: I'll talk to you next time. Now, the question is 558 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 2: do the Red Sox add two starting pictures to the rotation? 559 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 2: Like I said earlier, they got a lot of guys 560 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 2: in the fold, right, I mean you got Peyton, Totley 561 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 2: and Connolly early who showed a lot of things. You 562 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 2: got Patrick Sandoval, Cutter Crawford as well. Don't forget about 563 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: Kyl Harrison. They just brought him back in the Rafti 564 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 2: trade this past year. You got Hunter Dobbins. We'll be 565 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 2: back at some point, probably in the second half next 566 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 2: next year, at least towards the end of the year. 567 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 2: You know, Richard Fitz, you know he's gonna be in 568 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 2: the mix. You know, if he's healthy and good to go. 569 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 2: Luis Parus, so you know what's gonna happen with him. 570 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: So you know, there's a lot of guys here. So 571 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 2: I wonder is too gonna be too much at the 572 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: end of the day, because listen, if you bring in 573 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 2: two guys, Crochet would be your number one. Let's say 574 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 2: it ends up being Mackenzie Gore, Yeah, he'd be your 575 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 2: number two. Brian Bao, he'd be your three. Michael King. 576 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: I think you could actually say Michael King would be 577 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 2: your number three here, or if it ends up being Bieber, 578 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 2: you know Bieber in this situation, you know Crochet, Gore, Bieber, 579 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 2: and then BeO would be your four. And then who's 580 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 2: gonna be your five? Right? You got four or five 581 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: guys looking to win the fifth spot, Peyton, Totally, Connolly, Early, 582 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 2: Kyle Harrison, Patrick Standval, Credit Crawford, Right. Obviously there are 583 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 2: gonna be trades I think to be made this offseason. 584 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: And if they do bring in someone like Mackenzie Gorg, 585 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 2: Joe Ryan, I do think Early or Totally are gonna 586 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 2: be in that conversation. I think one of those guys 587 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 2: are gonna end up getting dealt because it's gonna help 588 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 2: you bring back a more established guy for the top 589 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 2: of the rotation. It would hurt to lose one of 590 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 2: those guys, but that's what it is at the end 591 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: of the day. So if you end up making a trade, 592 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 2: do you also bring in another guy. You know, does 593 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 2: Brian BeO end up being your number four? I wonder, 594 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 2: you know, I think this year, sure he looked great 595 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 2: at times, but you go, you know to what happened 596 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 2: in the postseason Game two, he could even get out 597 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 2: of the third inning. You know that he kind of 598 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 2: looked like a four in the rotation at that point. 599 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 2: I mean during the season. Yeah, I mean he looked 600 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 2: really solid, you know, like a three, even at times 601 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 2: looking like a two. But you just wonder if the 602 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 2: Red Sox really want to maximize this rotation. So do 603 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 2: they go after a free agent like Shane Bieber Michael 604 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 2: King and make a trade. I mean, if you were 605 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 2: able to add two guys, I mean, what a rotation. 606 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 2: Let's say it ends up being Gore or Joe Ryan 607 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 2: one of the trade candidates, Crochet, Gore, Ryan, whoever. And 608 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 2: then you also bring in Shane Bieber or Michael King. 609 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 2: Brian BeOS you're four, and then Peyton Toley or Patrick 610 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 2: Sandoval or Cutter Crawford's your five. I mean that's a 611 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 2: really good rotation. Now do the Red Sox want to 612 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: go that far? I don't know, if you go sign 613 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 2: someone like Michael King or Shane Bieber. It is gonna 614 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,719 Speaker 2: cost you over twenty million dollars per year. My question 615 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 2: is is how far are the Red Sox gonna go 616 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 2: with the payroll. They were over the CBT this past year, 617 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 2: so I do expect them to be over it again. 618 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: But how much are they going to want to go 619 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 2: over it? That's one question that I have. You never know, 620 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: but do they continue to kind of still hold back 621 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 2: a little bit? I think they will go a little further, 622 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 2: but how much further. They could definitely cut some payroll 623 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 2: right in the Thaniel Low non tender candidate that would 624 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 2: cut around thirteen million off of it. He's that's his 625 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: projection for next year. Maybe they get rid of Masa. 626 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 2: Even if they have to eat half the you know, 627 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 2: half the contract. You know, that takes off close to 628 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 2: ten million dollars. You know, you can shave some payroll 629 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 2: off in other little ways too, So I don't know. 630 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 2: It's interesting how far will they be willing to go 631 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 2: to upgrade the rotation, especially when they have a lot 632 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 2: of in house options. But if you really want to 633 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 2: maximize it for next year, which Breslo has said he 634 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 2: wants to, he wants to maximize this rotation. Could you 635 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 2: end up going after two guys with Mackenzie Gore, I 636 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 2: think he's realistic. The Nationals Paul Tavanni obviously knows the 637 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 2: Red Sox system very well. I think you could come 638 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 2: together on a trade, right. I think that's very possible. 639 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 2: And Michael King. I think King's gonna go back to 640 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 2: the Pog's Rays, right. He's been there for the last 641 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 2: couple of years. He's had a lot of success there. 642 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: He had a great twenty twenty four, had some injuries 643 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 2: this year though, he just wasn't able to fully get 644 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 2: it going. So I think he ends up just going 645 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 2: back and uh, you know, just restores his value after 646 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 2: a good season next year, and then he goes back 647 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 2: out to the market again again. Though you got a 648 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 2: lot of guys in the fold, so I could definitely 649 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 2: see one guy through a trade. I definitely think that's 650 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 2: gonna happen. The question is, will they add another guy 651 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 2: that's gonna cost you around twenty million, twenty five million, 652 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 2: we'll see. I think it's more likely they end up 653 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 2: just trading for one guy and then they go with 654 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 2: all these you know, in house options like I've already 655 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 2: mentioned and uh, you know, battling it out for the 656 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 2: last couple of spots in the rotation. We'll see. That 657 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 2: would be great though, if they could add two, that 658 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 2: would be great. Uh, Sean McCadam, he says, Garrett Crochet, 659 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 2: Joe Ryan, Brian Bao, Cutter Crawford, and Patrick Sandoval. I 660 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 2: here's the thing, you know, Cutter Crawford, Patrick Sandoval, I 661 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 2: think you Peyton totally will be in that mix again. 662 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 2: I could see him starting at Triple A next year. 663 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 2: I could see Connolly early definitely being in a deal 664 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 2: for Joe Ryan. So I think Sean McAdams is a 665 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 2: little bit more realistic than Kotillo. I think Katillo's would 666 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 2: be a great ceiling. I would love for that. McCadam 667 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 2: feels kind of right there in the in the middle, 668 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 2: like a happy medium, I would say. But he also 669 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 2: says here, Peyton totally returns to Wooster for additional development 670 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 2: time again. I could see that. I think that makes sense, 671 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 2: especially to continue to work on the secondaries. Right, He's 672 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 2: gonna work to improve those over the offseason, but working 673 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 2: on them in game that's all so different, right, Yeah, sure, 674 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 2: spring training, who knows baby ends up, you know, looking 675 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 2: really good in spring training, and he can win a 676 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 2: spot in the rotation. But I think you could see 677 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 2: him go back to Worcester. There's no need to continue 678 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 2: rushing him. And then Chris Smith, he says here, Garrett Crochet, 679 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 2: Joe Ryan, Brian Bao, Lucas Gieldo and Cutter Crawford again, 680 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 2: Lucas Gielito, I don't think he's gonna come back. I 681 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 2: won't completely write it off, but I feel like it's 682 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 2: more likely he goes elsewhere. And then he says Cutter 683 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 2: Crawford for the number five spot. So I do find 684 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 2: it interesting because Patrick Sandoval, I think they're going to 685 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 2: give him a chance to win a spot in the rotation. 686 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 2: They signed him to a two year deal, right, I mean, 687 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 2: it's not like a boatload of money by any means, 688 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,239 Speaker 2: but you know, it's a decent amount. So I think 689 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,239 Speaker 2: they're going to give him a chance to win that 690 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 2: fifth spot. If he doesn't, let's say, you know, could 691 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 2: he go to the bullpen? 692 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 3: Right? 693 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 2: Could this be you know, the Red Sox are gonna 694 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 2: be looking for a lefty for the bullpen. Could he 695 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 2: be a guy there? I don't know, but he's had 696 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 2: success as a starter in the past. He just ran 697 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 2: into injuries right and he got the surgery. So I 698 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 2: don't know. I think all of these are possible. I 699 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 2: would say Sean mccadams is probably the most realistic. I 700 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 2: would say number five the most significant trade addition, Craig 701 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 2: Breslo will make this winner is Chris Catillo says McKenzie Gore. 702 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 2: Sean McCadam says Joe Ryan, Chris Smith says Joe Ryan too. 703 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 2: I would say if I were to lean either Joe 704 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 2: Ryan or mackenzie Gore, A part of me wants to 705 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 2: think McKenzie Gore. Again. It depends on what the Nationals 706 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 2: want to do. Are they willing to give him up now, 707 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 2: or are they gonna be kind of going into this 708 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 2: bit of a reset with Tabanni in the fold or 709 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 2: does to Bonnie kind of take his time evaluating everything. 710 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think McKenzie gore does make a 711 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 2: lot of sense if they're willing to trade him, because 712 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 2: you have that connection there Joe Ryan. I've said this before. 713 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 2: I just wonder if maybe the Red Sox missed their chance. 714 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 2: You know you're gonna be getting other teams into the mix. Now, 715 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 2: the Mets, the Orioles, you know they're gonna be looking 716 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 2: for guys, right, the Giants, they could definitely use some 717 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 2: more upgrades in the rotation as well. I think Joe 718 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 2: Ryan is still very possible for the Red Sox. But 719 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 2: I think they had their shot. They had a great 720 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 2: chance to do something and they didn't do it. And uh, 721 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I just always hate opening the 722 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 2: door for these other teams. Now, Garrett Crochet, that worked 723 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 2: out for the Red Sox in the end. You know, 724 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 2: that was a little different. The Red Sox at the 725 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 2: time of the trade, they clearly had the better prospects 726 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 2: to give up. This time around, though, teams like the 727 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,959 Speaker 2: Mets and the Oriols they got some good prospects too, 728 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 2: So it's gonna come down to what the preference is. 729 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 2: I think the Red Sox have a great chance to 730 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 2: get a deal done for Ryan because you can include 731 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 2: someone like totally or early in there to lead the way. 732 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 2: But you look at the Mets. They got three guys 733 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 2: right there right, Nolan McLean, Joan Nahtongue, Brandon Sproute. You know, 734 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 2: so the Mets I think are gonna be a good competition. 735 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 2: We'll see what ends up happening. I don't know. I'm 736 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 2: fifty to fifty. I feel like right now I'm leaning 737 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 2: a little bit towards Mackenzie Gore. If he's available. That's 738 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,359 Speaker 2: gonna be a big question. Joe, Ryan, I could still 739 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 2: see it happening. I'm still pretty fifth on everything. But everybody, 740 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 2: that is it for today's show. I'm gonna wrap it 741 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 2: up right there. We are officially in the off season, 742 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 2: and it's gonna be a busy one.
