1
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to Monster Territory, brought to you by the

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: Foul Territory Network. Well that was a day, wasn't it.

3
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: That was.

4
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: A day. We came into the trade deadline today. As

5
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: Red Sox fans, quite the season so far up to

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: this point, a lot of ups and downs of this

7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: Red Sox team so far. Of course, you had the

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: highest of highs, winning ten straight, getting incredible performances from

9
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: this team, including Garrett Crochet, Alex Bregman before and after

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: the injury, Sandam Raphaela with the walk off. Many great

11
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: moments here in the first half of the year, and

12
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: a lot of down moments as well, losing streaks, bad defense,

13
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: mishaps on the base paths. But as the season has

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: gone on, you've seen this team get better and better,

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: and you've seen this team come closer together. Even with

16
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: the departure of Raffie Devers. You could say in the moment,

17
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: that was quite the down, That was quite a negative

18
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: moment for this season in all of Red Sox history.

19
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: But with how the Red Sox have played as of late,

20
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: you might be starting to think to yourself, you know what,

21
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: maybe that ended up being the best for this team.

22
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: But still, no matter how you look at it, it

23
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: was a big move and you were hoping the Red

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: Sox were gonna follow up with something here for today's

25
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: trade deadline. And I'm gonna be honest with you, out

26
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: of all of my years, not like you know, I'm

27
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: geanged off the gray over here, I'm not, you know,

28
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not gonna sit here and say I'm,

29
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, the biggest expert when it comes to the

30
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: Red Sox and whatever else you know. But out of

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: all my years of watching the Red Sox, this has

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: to be one of the most underwhelming trade deadlines I've

33
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: ever seen. I think you could even say I think

34
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: one of the worst I think I've ever seen. And

35
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm really not even trying to be negative. I'm not

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: even trying to give you some kind of a clickbait answer,

37
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: trying to you know, stir drama. I just honestly feel

38
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: that way because I've had a couple hours here to

39
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: digest this. I was live all day today on my

40
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: main channel. Every year we go live. For the second

41
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: straight year, I did an all day, eight to nine

42
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: hour stream, barely getting up out of my chair, watched

43
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: everything unfold. You know, it was pretty quiet. I mean,

44
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: you had some fireworks going off early here today, a

45
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: lot of fun moves. Right. You had Shane Bieber, that

46
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: was a guy that I had my eye on for

47
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Then you get the Mason Miller trade

48
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: with the padres aj Preller just somehow pulling off something else,

49
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: giving up his top prospect, one of the top specs

50
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: in the game, pulling off other moves. Later on, it

51
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: got quiet for a little bit, and then things started

52
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: to pick up again, and then you started seeing the

53
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: Red Sox pop up a little bit. Merril Kelly was

54
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: popping up. I was being told, you know, a couple

55
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: hours before he ended up getting moved to the Rangers

56
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: of the Red Sox. They were in on them. Then,

57
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: you know, every other other reporters out I'm not a reporter,

58
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: but other the other reporters out there were mentioning it

59
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: as well. Ended up going to the Rangers. Right. But

60
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden things started picking up with

61
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan, and you're thinking, we're like, okay, here we go. Here,

62
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: here's the Joe Ryan news that we've been waiting for. Right,

63
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: We've all been on this Joe Ryan train for a

64
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: few weeks now, the Twins they went to town today,

65
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: and you're starting to think, oh, man, the Twins are

66
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: really selling off some pieces here. Could this actually be realistic?

67
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: You start seeing the reports John Morosi other I'm going

68
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: blank on the day games, but other guys saying, hey,

69
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: they're making a late push. I even had someone tell me,

70
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: hey that, yeah, they are one of the teams trying

71
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: to talk to the Twins about Joe Ryan and then

72
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: ended up being across your screen. The Red Sox have

73
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: acquired Dustin Men. Of course, we had Steven Matts yesterday,

74
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: but I'll get to that. I'll be breaking both of

75
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: these trades down how I feel about both the trades

76
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: and the players themselves. But it's underwhelming. It really is.

77
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: And again I'm really not trying to be emotional about it.

78
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 1: I am just speaking about I'm speaking on that from

79
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of emotion there. But I also think too,

80
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm really trying to think of it from a logical

81
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: and even an analytical point of view. I think you

82
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: could you could have done more here. I really do

83
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: believe that. I mean, what do I know. I'm not

84
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: in the front office. I don't know what's going on.

85
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: But when I see I'll bring up some other trades

86
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: that I'll look to compare, and I think to myself,

87
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: what why couldn't something get done? And again, you have

88
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: to line up. It's not just about oh, we got

89
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: these prospects. Oh man, we could definitely go get that guy.

90
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, teams do. This is

91
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: why teams scout players, right, and teams have preferences when

92
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: it comes to certain prospects. So there's absolutely a shot

93
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: where I mean, of course, where maybe you just didn't

94
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: line up on some of the prospects, right. You know,

95
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: teams are maybe looking for a certain thing. Maybe they're

96
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: looking for a certain kind of a pitcher, maybe they're

97
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: looking for they prefer this guy because he's a little

98
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: taller than what we're offering or whatever. Maybe this guy

99
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 1: has a better fastball, or this guy has better breaking stuff.

100
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Maybe this guy, this guy over here fits better in

101
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: your organization. Right, Teams look at it that way. It's

102
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: not just black and white like, oh, we got this prospect.

103
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: He's ranked ahead of this other prospect on this top

104
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: one hunsured list, so of course we can get this done. Well, yeah,

105
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean sure, A lot of the times, maybe that works,

106
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: but sometimes it's not gonna work out that way. It's

107
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: not gonna be as cookie cutter as you might think.

108
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: But I still get back to the fact where I'm like,

109
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: you couldn't get something done, you couldn't get something I

110
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: don't know. That's where I get a little. I get

111
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: a little bothered about it because I look at the

112
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: other teams in the American League that really made moves,

113
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: that made good moves, that got better, And did the

114
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: Red Sox technically get better? Yes, technically, but was it

115
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: really enough to push the needle, to move the needle

116
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: to push the envelope? Well, I don't know about that.

117
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: We'll see. I do believe in this Red Sox team.

118
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: I do think this Sox teams very good. I've thought

119
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: that coming into the year, and I think they are

120
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: very well capable of winning a wildcard spot. But is

121
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: this going to be a trade deadline where you look

122
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: back and me say, man, I wish we could have

123
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: gotten one guy here right that could have maybe made

124
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: a big difference. You know, it's a little, it's a little,

125
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: it's it's a little disappointing. Today. I was really excited

126
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: for this deadline today. And again, I know not everything's

127
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: going to work out perfectly all the time. But and

128
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: no disrespect to Dustin May and Steven Mattz, Hey, welcome Boston.

129
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: Let's let's go for it, let's go after it, Let's

130
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: go win some ball games, Let's go pitch, let's go

131
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: do it. You know, hey, who knows? You know, let's

132
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: see what happens here. But when I'm seeing some of

133
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: these other guys out there, like Merrill Kelly, who was

134
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: just pitching in a World Series a couple of years ago.

135
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Even Charlie Morton. Remember how much we were complaining about

136
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: Charlie Morton. Remember we got that report a week or

137
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: two ago, a couple of weeks ago, Camrose A hey,

138
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: Red Sox, Charlie Morton might be a guy? Is it

139
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: completely out of the question to be saying right now, man,

140
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: Charlie Morton might not have been all that bad. Who's

141
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: been pitching great over the last couple of months. I

142
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: don't know the guys who's also a proven postseason guy.

143
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself, But you

144
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: know what I mean, You kind of just wonder anyway

145
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: we'll get into it. I'm gonna go over these both

146
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: of the acquisitions to the Red Sox. I'm gonna go

147
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: over the players. I'm gonna go over the trades. I'm

148
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: gonna get to the Joe Ryan stuff. I'm gonna get

149
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: to my concerns for the rest of the American League

150
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: or for the Red Sox compared to the rest of

151
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: the American League. And I'm gonna give you my final

152
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: grade at the end of the show. Everybody, if you

153
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: can just hit the leg button for me, and if

154
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,520

160
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: have to get up a couple of times because my

161
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: camera was overheating, so I had to go like turn

162
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: that on and off. So last year I was able

163
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: to sit in the chair the entire time. I didn't

164
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: get up once last year, and then this year, unfortunately

165
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: I had to do. It helped my back a little bit.

166
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,440

193
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: is fried. There we go. We got the right screen.

194
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: Let's start off with Steven Mattz.

195
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 2: Right.

196
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: You know I could sit here and you know, I

197
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: just gave you my intro. I gave you my piece

198
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: how I'm feeling. But let's talk about the guys that

199
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: are on the Red Sox. Instead of going right to

200
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: the guys that we don't have, right, let's talk about

201
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: the guys that are in Boston. Let's get a good

202
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: look Steven Mattz. Stephen Mattz. I was pretty happy with

203
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: this trade last night. When we saw this one last night,

204
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, all right, that's that's solid, right,

205
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: Steven Mattz. He's had a couple of up and down

206
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: years here, right. I signed that four year deal with

207
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: the Cardinals a little while back. He's had injuries along

208
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: the way, but he found his way as a reliever

209
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: this past year. Overall, fifty five innings over thirty two games,

210
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: he did have a couple of starts until they said,

211
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: all right, we just gotta be a reliever. At this point.

212
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: That's the best spot for him. And he's been putting

213
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: up solid numbers. Er right, A three point four to

214
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: four fitit, a two point eight seven. He's you know,

215
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: he's not racking up the strikeouts by any means, seven

216
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: point seven strikeouts per nine, But I mean the walk

217
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: ray is fantastic, one and a half walks for nine.

218
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: He's keeping the ball in the yard as well. Zero

219
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: point six home runs per nine. Very good, very good,

220
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: very good. Love all that. All right. I'm when you

221
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: take a look at the metrics with Steven Mattz, like

222
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: I said, the guy's gonna throw a ton of strikes.

223
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: He's not gonna walk guys. He's gonna get some pretty

224
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: decent weak contact. He's not gonna give up a lot

225
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: of barrels. He's gonna get ground balls as well. Now

226
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: the eggs of v low. It's middle of the road,

227
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: hard hit balls. You know, he is ranking a little

228
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: low there. But the fact that he can avoid the barrels,

229
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: I think that's a good thing. Right. So I think

230
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: it's a guy that can really come in in certain

231
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: spots and give you a nice bit of a lift,

232
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: nice bit of a lift and taking a look at

233
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: the bullpen as of right now. And you know, it's

234
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: funny because Justin Wilson over this past month, his FIP

235
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: is getting close to a five. So I wonder if

236
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: the Red Sox were looking at that and thinking, hmm,

237
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: we might have to go get another option here now.

238
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: Brendan Bernardino, Chris Murphy, they've been pitching well from the

239
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: left side as of light, So I do wonder what's

240
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to if there is gonna be you know,

241
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: what's the corresponding move going to be there? Yeah, a

242
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: lot of guys in this bullpen as of right now.

243
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: That stinks because Bernardino, Chris Murphy, they've been pitching great.

244
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: But I would imagine one of those guys. I would

245
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: imagine it's probably gonna be Murphy going down because he

246
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: has the options, right Bernardino at this point he'llly has

247
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: one more option, while Chris Murphy still has a couple.

248
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: So I mean, who knows, maybe someone else, right, But overall,

249
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: I like the move of Steven Matts, just a steady

250
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: veteran guy that can come out of the bullpen and

251
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: for the most part, he's gonna get the job done.

252
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: I like that move. Was it Ryan Helsley, No, was it?

253
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: You know one of these guys that you know was

254
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: a Mason Miller. Absolutely not. But I'm okay with another

255
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: lefty option, just gives you a different look. He's gonna

256
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: hold it down for you. And overall the trade was

257
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: approved by Baseball Trade Values pretty even. For the most part.

258
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: The Red Sox are taking on the rest of the contract. Now,

259
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: this is where it kind of stunk a little bit.

260
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: I was a little sad about giving up Blades Jordan.

261
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: We had Blaze Jordan here on the channel. We had

262
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: an awesome sit down talk Blaze Jordan's a great guy

263
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: with a head on his shoulders. You know, he had

264
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: that that early fame right from when he was a kid,

265
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, hitting bombs and home run Derby's and getting

266
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: all over YouTube millions of views, and you know, Red

267
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: Sox fans were pretty pumped when he got taken in

268
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: the third round. And he's really come a long way.

269
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: And a guy that you could say is you know,

270
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: uh that probably you know, probably deserves a chance at

271
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: the major league level. But you know, with the Red Sox.

272
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you got obvious. You know, Christian Campbell's taking

273
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: reps at first base. Kristin Cassis obviously, I know he's

274
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: down right now with the injury, but obviously he's still

275
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: ahead on the depth chart. So Blaze Jordan and you know,

276
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: a third base too, obviously got Bregman. I would imagine

277
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: they're going to get an extension done at some point.

278
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: There was just nowhere for Blaze Jordan to go, and

279
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: he was coming up on Rule five eligibility. So it's

280
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: kind on it's very similar to last year when they

281
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: made all of those moves, like Matthew Lugo, for example,

282
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: a guy that was hitting really well, but a guy

283
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: where the Red Sox they had other preferences when it

284
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: came to players within the organization, so they sent Matthew

285
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: Lugo off because you know he was gonna be he

286
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: had roster risk anyway. So they did the same thing

287
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: here with Blaze Jordan. But Blaze Jordan, remember he came

288
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: up with a Nolan Aernado trade talks this past offseason,

289
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: so I'm not surprised to see the Cardinals revisit this.

290
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: This is a perfect example of teams talking about certain players.

291
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: Maybe they don't get it done in that moment, but

292
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: you can come back to it, right, And this ended

293
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: up being the perfect situation, right Blaze Jordan. I wish

294
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: him the best. I hope he has a great career.

295
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: I really do. My one of my first videos I

296
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: ever did on YouTube was about Blaze Jordan, at least

297
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: one of my first successful ones. And uh so I

298
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: owe him a lot, man, I do. I wish him

299
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: nothing but the best. Now let's move on to the

300
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: big one here. Uh, the big one, Dustin May. This

301
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: happened about what was it, fifteen minutes before the deadline,

302
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: before the clock drug zero, and uh, we'll get to

303
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan in a little bit. That's gonna be that's

304
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: gonna be the next topic here. But Dustin May flashed

305
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: across our screens and we're thinking, oh no, oh no, wait,

306
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: that's not Joe Ryan. Wait hold on, we still got

307
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Maybe something else can happen here ended up

308
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: being the last move. This is interesting and it's really

309
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny how things come full circle. Go

310
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: back to twenty nineteen. Dustin May was one of the

311
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: top picturing prospects in the game, and when the Red

312
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: Sox moved Mookie Betts to the Dodgers, you're thinking to yourself,

313
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: oh man, maybe we can get you know, we can

314
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: get Dustin mayback right, that was a guy that was

315
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: popping up in a lot of conversations, right, trade proposals,

316
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 1: mock trades and U. Yeah, it's just kind of funny

317
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: now here we are with Dustin May. Overall, he has

318
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: had an up and down season. Uh, but this guy

319
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: has been through a lot over the last couple of years.

320
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: Tommy John he had an esophag esophagus injury that ended

321
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: up being very serious and he ended up missing all

322
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: of last year, didn't even pitch at all in twenty

323
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: twenty four, and he had only pitched a combined twenty

324
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: games from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty three. And

325
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: this past year this is the most that he's pitched.

326
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: He's pictured nineteen games overall, eighteen starts, one hundred four innings.

327
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: But this is where it starts to get a little Harry,

328
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: he already a four point eighty five. You're thinking, okay,

329
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: all right, he's got good stuff. All right, let's take

330
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 1: a look at the fip. Well, the FIP is at

331
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: a four point seven zero, and the big reason for

332
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: that is he is getting an okay amount of strikeouts

333
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: eight point three strikeouts per nine. However, he's close to

334
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: four walks per nine, so that's not a great ratio overall,

335
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: and he's giving up one point four home runs per nine,

336
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: so it's not a good balance. It's not a good mix. Now,

337
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to Dustin May, there are things that

338
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: do stick out when you look at the overall metrics.

339
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: He's giving up a lot of hard hit balls. He's

340
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: not getting swing and miss. He is getting the strikeouts,

341
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: but he's just having a hard time really just fooling

342
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: these batters, and he's not he's not really I don't know's.

343
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: I'll get to the pitch micks. I'll get to my

344
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: next point there in a second. Now, he does get

345
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: a lot of ground balls sixty second percent time, has

346
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: good extension. There's a reason this guy was a top

347
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: pitching prospect at one point. I believe Dustin May was

348
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: he he back in twenty twenty, he was the number

349
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: thirteen prospect overall. Now, when you go to the pitch mix,

350
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: he's leading with the sweeper, he's got the sinker. He's

351
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: got the forest Seemer, and he's got a cutter, no offspeed,

352
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: he's got three different fastballs, and he's got a sweeper.

353
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: So batters aren't really having a hard time against him.

354
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: It seems right like, yes, he's gonna come at you

355
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: with some pretty good stuff. Like when you take a

356
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: look at the movement on the pitches, like you see

357
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: a lot of red here. If you're with me on YouTube,

358
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean you're looking at like the

359
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: arm side break on the sinker very good, right. The

360
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: four seemer has life, has running life, arm side life, right,

361
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: the sweeper gets a ton of break. Right. There's a

362
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: lot to like when it comes to the stuff of

363
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 1: Dustin May. But execution wise, he hasn't fully fully been

364
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: able to find a formula. Now the sweeper in the fastball,

365
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: those have been good pitches for him. Batters are only

366
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: hitting two seventeen against the sweeper and only one eleven

367
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: against this four seemer. He has two good pitches right there,

368
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: the sinker and the cutter, though those pictures are getting demolished.

369
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: That's where I wonder with Dustin May, I just feel

370
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: like he's he's just there's not a lot of separation, Like, yes,

371
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: he's got different movements on the fastballs. He's got the

372
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: sinker and the cutter and the four seemer and then

373
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: he's got the sweeper, but there's not really a lot

374
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: of differentiation there. Like if he had a change up

375
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: that could go along with this to really keep hitters

376
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: off balanced, I think you could see a much better

377
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: Dustin May. But this is a guy that he threw

378
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty three. He threw thirty two chain overall,

379
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: so I don't know, he's really a two pitch picture

380
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: at this point. That kind of makes me wonder, like

381
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: would he be better in a in a relief role,

382
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, like a guy that could be like an

383
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: elite setup guy, you know, maybe even closer, you know

384
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like he could work off at two

385
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: pitches there and probably have a lot of success. But

386
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: as a starter, they got to figure something out. I

387
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: wonder if he comes over to Boston Andrew Bailey, maybe

388
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: they could fit something together, or maybe they can come

389
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: up with the plan. I don't know, if I were

390
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: to maybe, you know, I'll do my best to be

391
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: the pitching coach here. I'm gonna fail miserably but you know,

392
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: to me, he's leading with the sweeper. It's been a

393
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: good pitch for him. And but then the next pitch

394
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: he has is the sinker, so and batters of slugging

395
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: five eighty nine against it. So I wonder if maybe

396
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: he reduces the sinker a little bit and he just

397
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: goes to that four seamer which has been working in

398
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: a way, kind of reminds me a little bit of

399
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 1: Tanner Hawke right where Tanner Houck is just like big sweeper,

400
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, four seamer kind of a guy, you know, uh, sweeper,

401
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: fastball guy. So he gives me that vibe a little bit,

402
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: and yeah, I don't know, they got to figure out

403
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: a third pitch. So I just wonder how much success

404
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna have, Like, yes, you can have the stuff,

405
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: but these hitters are so good today and you get

406
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: you have you have to do more at the major

407
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: league level. Now again, if he ends up being a reliever,

408
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: I think you could have success there. As to the trade, well,

409
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: baseball trade values. You all know me, I'm a big

410
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: fan of BTV. Uh, this was rejected, and I think

411
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: this was on paper. I think this is an awful trade. Again,

412
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm always gonna look for the upside in a player

413
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: that the Red Sox acquired. I'm always gonna focus on

414
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: the positives. I'm gonna look for ways that the Red

415
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Sox can make these guys better. The trade itself stinks.

416
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: This is a terrible trade and I don't care any

417
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: sort of justification for it because to me, what you

418
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,479
Speaker 1: gave up for two months of Dustin May. Again, I

419
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: do think there are positives there, and I think there

420
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: is a good picture there. But you gave up James Tibbs,

421
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: and no, I'm not gonna say, oh, that's the guy

422
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: we got back for RAFFI. No, I'm looking at the

423
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: fact that he was a first round pick last year.

424
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: The guy mashed at Florida State, very good hitter. He

425
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: did come over to the Red Sox wasn't really doing

426
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: all that much. So maybe the Red Sox they just

427
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: didn't see much of a future with him. That's fair.

428
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: Then they also gave up Zach Erhard, who they drafted

429
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: in the fourth round last year, a guy that was

430
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: hitting well in a ball they moved him up and

431
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: he was trying to find his adjustments. So my guess

432
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: is the Red Sox they probably saw sigh. There was

433
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: something they weren't really sold on with these guys, right,

434
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: But why were these guys used for two months of

435
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: Dustin May? No disrespect, but Dustin May has an ERA

436
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,479
Speaker 1: and FIP close to a five. Why are you giving

437
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: up a higher ranked prospect in your system that was

438
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: a first round pick last year and Zach Erhard, which

439
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: sure he's gonna rank near the bottom of the of

440
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: the of the top thirty. Why are these two being

441
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: used for Dustin May? There was You couldn't do that

442
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: for Charlie Morton. I mean again, I know you gotta

443
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: line up with different teams. I get that, but this

444
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: was the best you could do. There's no one else

445
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: out there, no one Like no one else wanted to

446
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: take a chance on James TIBs, no one wanted to

447
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: take a chance on Zach Erhardt. The Orioles didn't want

448
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: one of these guys. No one wanted a first round pick.

449
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, what do I know? I

450
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I hope they made calls to everyone possible.

451
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: I just say, I think it's crazy. I think it's crazy,

452
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: like I think it's nuts, Like I don't see how again,

453
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: Greg Breslo is as analytical as they come. I am

454
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: sure he dotted his eyes and crossed his t's and

455
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: crossed his t's and dotted his crossed what's the I

456
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: was trying to go to the opposite I failed on

457
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: that he did everything he possibly could. I think I

458
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: would hope and I do believe that he called everywhere.

459
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: But man, I just have a hard time believing that

460
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: that that that's the best. Like there was nothing else,

461
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: There was no other solution out there, there was I

462
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: don't know, Like this is where again, like Charlie Morton.

463
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: Sure the overall numbers aren't great, but the guy who've

464
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: been pitching great over the last couple of months after

465
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: a terrible start, Like who would you rather have right now?

466
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: Would you rather have Charlie Morton Dustin May? I think

467
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: that's actually a pretty interesting debate. I could go either way, right,

468
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: but again, I'm looking at the I don't know. I

469
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: would just say this, either trade would have been bad.

470
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: But if you were to make the argument for Morton,

471
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: well then he hasn't pitching better recently. Again, James Tibbs,

472
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: zach Erhart for two months of Dustin May. I when

473
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: I first saw the trade. In my head, I'm thinking

474
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: he had another year of control, and I'm like, oh, okay,

475
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: all right, well at least you get him for another year.

476
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: And then it dawned on me. I'm like, oh wait,

477
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: he's a free agent. I'm like, what the heck happened here?

478
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: So I'm not a fan of the trade. I don't

479
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: think it's a good trade. I just I honestly, I

480
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: can't wholeheartedly believe that that's the best that you could

481
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: have done. I'm sure they maximized every possible option, but

482
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: did you where there are other where there's stones unturned?

483
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: Were there are other options out there that you just

484
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: didn't stumble across? I don't know. This trade stinks on paper,

485
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: value wise, it stinks. I hope May ends up being

486
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: a weapon here down the last couple of months, and

487
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: I hope, hope. I hope I'm wrong. I really do,

488
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: because I would love if Dustin May can come to

489
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: the Red Sox and all of a sudden, this guy

490
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: just goes on some kind of a run. I would

491
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: love to be wrong, but right now, value wise, on paper,

492
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't look great. Again, I hope I'm wrong. I

493
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: am perfectly okay, with people bringing this back, and I'll

494
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: be the first one to say I'm glad I was wrong.

495
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: I hope they figure it out because right now that's

496
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: not good because I'm looking at these other trade like

497
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: even Meryl Kelly. Right when you take a look at

498
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: the trade for Merril Kelly, the Rangers, they overpaid for him.

499
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: I mean they their trade on BTV was also rejected.

500
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 1: They gave up a lot for Meryl Kelly. They gave

501
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: up Cole Drake, Mitch Bratt, and Dave Hageman. Again, that's

502
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: where you can look at teams are maybe looking for

503
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: certain things. I know James Tibbs is a hitter, and

504
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: they sent back a bunch of pictures, right, so that

505
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily line up. So that's fair, right, But then

506
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, you look at the Charlie Morton trade. They

507
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: barely gave up anything they get. They the Orioles got

508
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 1: a guy that wasn't even ranked. You couldn't you couldn't

509
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: do that. You couldn't do that, Like they're they're like,

510
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: it's like fine, if you got Charlie Morton, then you know,

511
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: and you kept James Tibbs to use for another trade

512
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: down the road. That fine, you could sell me on that,

513
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: but they gave up someone that wasn't even ranked, So

514
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's bonkers to me. Bonkers. And then

515
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: we even had the we could even take a look

516
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: at the Shane Bieber trade, right, Shane Bieber, that was

517
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: one of the first trades this morning. And if we

518
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: take a look here at Bieber, I believe this was

519
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: an over pay as well. This was definitely an overpay.

520
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: Where did that go? Let me just type it in

521
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: the beabs. So they gave up one good pitching prospect,

522
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: they give up Cal Steven. The equivalent to that would

523
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: have probably been David Sandlin. So chat, let me know,

524
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: would you have done David Sandlin for Shane Bieber? Would

525
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: you have done that? Especially? You know, another thing to

526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: think about there is Shane Bieber was close to signing

527
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: with the Red Sox this past offseason. So I think

528
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: if you brought Shane Bieber in, there's a chance that

529
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: you could have revisited and you know, if you pitched

530
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: twelve of course, right, you could have maybe worked out

531
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: some kind of a new deal. That So that's where

532
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: like that's the equivalent of this one. So that's David Sandlin. Basically,

533
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: I see some of you saying no, I think that's

534
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: that's very fair. I think it's a very fair answer,

535
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: very fair answer. You know again, it's more so like, man,

536
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: there was just nothing else out there. Let me know,

537
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: in the chat, would you rather have just traded someone

538
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: that was, you know, a lower ranked picture. You know,

539
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: there had to be someone that the Orioles could have

540
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: taken back for Charlie Morton. Would you have rather have

541
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: done that? I think there's an argument for that. So

542
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: in the end, I really hope Dustin may ends up

543
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: doing well. I hope they can figure it out. I

544
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: hope they can figure out a plan with him. If

545
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: they could figure something out with him and they unlock

546
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: something and maybe that could be that could turn it

547
00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: to just dynamite. I hope so. I hope so, dil Core,

548
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: I see you're saying, though, but again, he has picked

549
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: well Charlie Mooret in the last couple of months. That's

550
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: some I understand, though, I get it the overall numbers.

551
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: Not really a fan again, I hope ma does well.

552
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: I really do. He's a he's a fellow Ginger. I'm

553
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: always gonna support the fellow Gingers. Every single time. But

554
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: let's move on here. Let's talk about Joe Ryan. Joe Ryan. Oh,

555
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm okay with the Red Sox not getting Joe Ryan.

556
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I am. I'm glad you had

557
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: these talks, whatever whatever extent ended up getting to, I'm

558
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: okay with it. Remember last trade deadline, Garrett Crochet, he

559
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: was coming up a lot, right, he was the talk

560
00:33:55,160 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: of the town. And you get them in the offseason, right,

561
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: so you can have talks, maybe lay out you know

562
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: some players, right, maybe get the conversation rolling. All right,

563
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: we can't fully figure this out. Well, we'll come back

564
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: to this in a few months, a couple months. The

565
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: same thing could happen here with Joe Ryan. Absolutely could.

566
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: The Twins. I mean they're probably asking for a boatload.

567
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: Remember last year Garrett Crochet, the White Sox, They're like,

568
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: we want Roman Anthony, we want Marcelo meyerh No, we're

569
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: not doing that. So the Twins they're probably asking for

570
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: something good too. All right, who knows what they're asking for?

571
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: I mean, for crying out, they're probably I guarantee you

572
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: they're asking for Peyton. Totally guarantee that guarantee It Peyton totally.

573
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: Who knows, Maybe they're maybe they're still asking for Roman.

574
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: You know, hey Roman, rookie year, let's you gotta give

575
00:34:55,120 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: us him. Who knows. Maybe I wouldn't be surprised, but

576
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Peyton totally came up, Brandon

577
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: Clark came up, Jo Stinson Garcia if he you know,

578
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: I guarantee the Twins are asking for like five or

579
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: six players, and I think that's fair of the Red Sox.

580
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: They didn't want to do that, right, go back to

581
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: in the offseason. You get a little bit more time

582
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: to breathe, and then maybe you can come up with

583
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: a more realistic deal. All right, this is the time

584
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: of the year where, yeah, you are gonna see overpays.

585
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: That's just how the trade deadline works. Sometimes you can

586
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: you can find some fair deals, but then you're gonna

587
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: have some exceptions where you're just gonna be paying a

588
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: crazy amount. Again, I'm okay with the Red Sox not

589
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: getting Joe Ryan. That's not what I think upset me.

590
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: I think I think that's not what frustrated me. It's

591
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: not because we didn't get him, even though Yahoo's Sports

592
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: and Fox Sports MLB. I don't know what the heck

593
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: you guys are doing here today. What are you doing? Like,

594
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: can you not read a tweet John Morosi? You know

595
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: you can say what you will about John Morosi, the

596
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: Otani flight, all that, But he put out a tweet

597
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: today saying the Red Sox I forget the wording of it,

598
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: but he put out a tweet that basically just flat

599
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: out said the Red Sox they are, you know, trying

600
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: to push for Joe Ryan to I think this. I

601
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: think it said something like the Red Sox are pushing

602
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: or I can't remember the wording to acquire him. I

603
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: think they just quickly read the tweet and I think

604
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: they just skipped over like three of the words and

605
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: said and they thought it said the Red Sox acquired

606
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan. Holy cow, they put out graphics and everything.

607
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: That's what a FIBs trying to acquire. That's unbelievable that

608
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: Yahoo Sports and Fox Sports MLB did that. That's crazy.

609
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: Like it's like one thing if you put out a

610
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: tweet like words, you know what I mean, but like

611
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: you made a graphic like that's crazy, what are you doing?

612
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: I know I've had my mess ups too, but that

613
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: one was like, whoa Joe Ryan of the offseason. I'm

614
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: cool with it, but you got to think, here, you

615
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: do wonder could this have been a moment where you

616
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: really could have made Again, who knows what the offer was.

617
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: I guarantee Peyton totally was in that offer or in

618
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: the ask. I don't think the Red Sox would be

619
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: offering Peyton totally. They like Peyton totally a lot. But

620
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: could you possibly justify where maybe the Red Sox they

621
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: could have gotten very uncomfortable and pull this off get

622
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 1: him now come off season. Sure you could revisit these talks,

623
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: but what if another team comes up with something. Maybe

624
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: the Red Sox feel like another team's not really going

625
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: to be able to pull off a trade. Maybe the

626
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: Red Sox feel confident that they can land him. You know,

627
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: I honestly think they felt that with the White Sox.

628
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: I do because when you looked at the other farm

629
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: systems out there, I thought the Red Sox for Garrett Crochet,

630
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: I thought they lined up perfectly for a deal, right,

631
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: And maybe they feel the same way now. Maybe they think, hey,

632
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 1: you know what, we'll come back in the off season.

633
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: We still have the best shot. Maybe they think that

634
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm cool with that. Joe Ryan in the off season,

635
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: I think is very realistic. We'll see what ends up happening.

636
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: If that ends up falling flat, nothing happens, well you

637
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: got free agency, You're gonna have guys on the market,

638
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: you will have other options right the off season. I

639
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: do think the Red Sox are gonna find their true

640
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: number two. Now the question is is this starting pitching

641
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: gonna be enough. We'll talk about it. I'll give you

642
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: my thoughts on it. But Craig Breslow, there were some

643
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: comments here. There are a lot of comments here. He

644
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: said here, we pursued a number of really impact opportunities.

645
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: Obviously not all of them work out. It wasn't from

646
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: the lack of trying to be as aggressive as possible

647
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: or from an unwillingness to get uncomfortable. Ultimately, it takes

648
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: two teams lining up for those trades to line up.

649
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: And I do think that is a good point. You

650
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: can be mad at Craig all you want, you can

651
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: be you can totally be frustrated. I think even Craig

652
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: would say you can be frustrated. I do really think

653
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: that is a thing. I really think that teams are

654
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: just they have certain preferences with things, They have certain

655
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: philosophies with things. You know, it does take two to

656
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: tango at the end of the day, even if you

657
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: look at rankings and whatnot. Again, this isn't me justifying it.

658
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: It's that's just real, right, that's just how it works.

659
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: But again, were all the stones turned over? That's the

660
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: only thing I have a problem with he says here.

661
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: We're happy with the guys we brought in. We also

662
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: pursued real impact players that we felt like could improve

663
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: our team in twenty five and beyond. I think Joe

664
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: Ryan is what he's talking about. We were uncomfortably aggressive

665
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: and trying to pursue them in the players we were

666
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: trying to put into deals. Ultimately, it wasn't from a

667
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 1: lack of effort. Other teams needed to say, hey, that's enough.

668
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: That crosses the line. It wasn't about an unwillingness to

669
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: talk about our full system. That is a quote. Other

670
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: teams needed to say, hey, that's enough. That crosses the line.

671
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: Like let's go to Let's go to Chipotle, right Chapotele,

672
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: where they've been known to really skimp on how much

673
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: chicken they give you. Some times they go a little

674
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: short with the rice. If you how many times have

675
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: you gone to Chipotle and you get you get that

676
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: one good server there and they're giving you a lot

677
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, yes, yes, are you gonna say

678
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: are you gonna be like whoa whoa buddy? Well, hold

679
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: on a second, that's a little too much chicken. It's

680
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: a little too much rice, buddy. What do you think

681
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: this is? I mean, come on, is starving kids in

682
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: China here? What are you gonna say that? No, you're

683
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: not gonna say that. You were like, please, please, please

684
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more? Please? Can I can I have

685
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: a little more? I mean why not? What? What? What

686
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: does this even mean? Hey, that's enough? Who's gonna say that?

687
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: Why that? That says to me? If that actually was

688
00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: the case, I bet it's not Craig offering Peyton Totley

689
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 1: and Marcelo Meyer and Roman Anthony. I think it's Craig

690
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: being like, hey, we'll give you our number eleven prospect thirteen, fourteen,

691
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty eight thirty. We'll give you eight players

692
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: that are outside of like our top fifteen. That's where

693
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: I could see a team being like, oh, Okay, you

694
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: can cut it out, man, like stop it, you know

695
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: what I mean. That's where I can see what it means.

696
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: There's no way you're gonna see you're gonna tell me

697
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: like what like this. That's that's crazy. That's a crazy line.

698
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: And I hope that's what it actually meant. There's no

699
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: way that he's going out there and offering totally and

700
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: Clark and Early and you know, Stinson and stop. There's

701
00:42:53,760 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: no way. That was an interesting line on to say,

702
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't think this is about the unwillingness to include

703
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: guys or anything like that. Teams have to like our

704
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: players in order for that to happen. That is true.

705
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: That's very true, whether you like it or not, whether

706
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: you're grumpy with Craig right now, that is true. You

707
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: You we can think, oh, Brandon Clark, this guy's awesome.

708
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: But another team might look at Brandon Clark and be like, uh,

709
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 1: he's walking five batters per nine. We don't like the

710
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: mechanics very much. We think he's gonna have issues. We don't.

711
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 1: We don't think we're gonna be able to help him.

712
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 1: Another team might be like, oh, fifteen strikeouts per nine,

713
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: five walks maybe a couple of little things mechanically, whatever

714
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 1: we could fix that. That's teams are gonna have different things, right,

715
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna look for different things. We went into this

716
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: deadline feeling like, in order to accomplish what we needed

717
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 1: to accomplish and what we hope to accomplish, we couldn't

718
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: take some of our young minor league players off the table.

719
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: We couldn't go into this with untouchables. Well, you did

720
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: go into it with untouchables, because I was told personally

721
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: Peyton Toley was untouchable, and we didn't. I don't think

722
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: that's true. We were willing to talk about all of

723
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: our guys in the name of improving our team. It

724
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: just didn't work out. Obviously, Roman Anthony's going to be untouchable.

725
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: I've been told Peyton Toley's untouchable personally. Breslo said. The

726
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: Red Sox did draw a line when it came to

727
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: subtracting from the major league team. While baseball trades that

728
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: could have sent Jaron Dran from the outfield surplus elsewhere

729
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: for controllable frontline picture were in play, the Red Sox

730
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: were not willing to engage in deals that would hurt

731
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: their chances to play in October. Dealing Roman Anthony to

732
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: help another area of the roster, for example, was off limits.

733
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, okay, Roman Anthony's on the major

734
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: league roster, but minor league. Again, I've been told totally

735
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere. I mean, if you will, let's say,

736
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: for example, if all you had to give up was

737
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: totally and Jostinson and early for Joe Ryan of that,

738
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: that might be hard to turn down, you know what

739
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean. So he again he went into saying that

740
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 1: they didn't want to mess with the major league roster.

741
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: That also tells me they are really going to going

742
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: into this offseason. I think they're going to look to

743
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: create more balance, right, they don't want to mess with it.

744
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: Now it's working, things are moving. Kor has his flexibility

745
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: come off season, though. I do think they are gonna

746
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: get busy. I do think that he said here, if

747
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,919
Speaker 1: fans were in the office during this deadline, they would

748
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: see that guys didn't expect to be willing to talk

749
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: about going into these conversations we made available. Could be

750
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: could that be totally? Again, I was told totally he's

751
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. We tried to put the most aggressive

752
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: offers we could in hopes they were going to end

753
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: in deals. Maybe totally came up and the Red Sox

754
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 1: were like, Okay, let's hear what you gotta say. Maybe

755
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: he said he understands the frustration and the disappointment. We're

756
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: all looking at the last week right now in terms

757
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: of the trades that were made and weren't made. There's

758
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 1: not a lot of sympathy for how hard we tried

759
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: to get deals across the line. I understand that. Yeah,

760
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean, but at the end of the day, it

761
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: there just wasn't much that was done to improve the roster. Again,

762
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to give excuses because at the end

763
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: of the day, other teams made a bunch of moves.

764
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in a second. Other teams made

765
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: moves and you didn't. You couldn't find a way to

766
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 1: line up with a team. You couldn't find a solution.

767
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: Other teams found solutions and you didn't. I mean, you

768
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: can't tell me that teams with weaker farm systems overall

769
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: were able to do this much right. Teams with good

770
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: farm systems were able to pull off a lot like

771
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: Josh Naylor and Uhineo Suarez, the Mariners. The Mariners cooked

772
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 1: this deadline. The Mariners like, they did really well. Could

773
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: that again, could the preference of the players that they

774
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: were sending back coming to play there where the Mariners

775
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: didn't have to give up top prospects, Well it's possible.

776
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 1: But again, they did really well because they really saved

777
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: a lot of their top guys and they got two

778
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: impact bats that can help them for this year. And well,

779
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: you know a lot of teams did really well. We

780
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: are going to get into the again, that is the

781
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: wrong one. I did not I didn't set the buttons

782
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: correctly for this one. Uh So, okay, we've gone over

783
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: pretty much all of the the big names that came

784
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: up today. The one thing the Red Sox did not

785
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: address that was something coming into the deadline today was

786
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: first base. All right, first base was a talking point.

787
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: They've been going with Abraham Toro, rome A Gonzalez a

788
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,959
Speaker 1: lot at first base, so it sounds like they're gonna

789
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: be rolling with David Hamilton said on over at second base.

790
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: Sadam will get playing time, you know, in center field

791
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: here and there. I don't think Meyer's coming back, man.

792
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: They were just talking today Meyer is gonna be getting

793
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: a second opinion. I don't know, man, I don't think

794
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 1: Meyer is going to be coming back. I hope he does.

795
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong, but I think he ends up

796
00:48:55,320 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: probably being done for this year. We'll see. But they

797
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: didn't get a first baseman. They didn't get a bat.

798
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: Ryan O'Hearn. That was a guy they were connected to.

799
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: He went to the pos Rays. Maybe they were connected,

800
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: but they ended up doing the deal with Ramon Loreano

801
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: attached so and the Pasrais. They sent back a ton

802
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: of pitching prospects, lower graded pitching prospects that the Red

803
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: Sox have. Again, that's another factor that also comes into play.

804
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: You really have to look at the grades of the pictures. Right.

805
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: For example, if you go to like the Astros system

806
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 1: their top pitching prospects, or like, let's say, for example,

807
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: their number ten prospect, I'm just I don't know who

808
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 1: that is exactly, but let's say, you know, after Miguel

809
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: Alola and whoever else was right there in the top five,

810
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: let's say their number ten was a picture and he's

811
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: like a forty grade. Well, the Astros don't have a

812
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: very good ranked farm system, so their number ten might

813
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: not be great, you know, scouting wise with the grade,

814
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: but the Red Sox they're number ten. Like wherever Connolly

815
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: early ranks, he has a good grade, right, So that's

816
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: where it could be the difference where the posres the

817
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: And again that's where it kind of lines up with

818
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 1: the Orioles. They were getting back a lot of talent,

819
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: they were getting back volume, and the Orioles I think

820
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: need that. The Orioles really needed to try and get back,

821
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, as much pitching as they could and hopefully

822
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: one or two of them work out. So I could

823
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: see the philosophical thinking behind that. So Ryan O'Hearn probably

824
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: just wasn't in the cards. Again, that happens with these trades,

825
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: but you know, it is what it is. Again, I'm

826
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: disappointed with everything, but for someone like Ryan O'Hearn, I

827
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: could understand. But then again, maybe for the Red Sox.

828
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: You pick up the phone and say, hey, listen, we

829
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: would like to have O'Hearn. What can we do all

830
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 1: right to turn the conversation right. AJ Prowler is a

831
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: mad man, he's a psycho. So in the end he

832
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: got Ryan o'harn right. But Josh Naylor, I don't know.

833
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 1: You just weren't able to get a first baseman. You

834
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: know you weren't able to do it. So here we are.

835
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: Maybe Christian Campbell comes back up soon he has been

836
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: hitting well. Do they give him the call back up

837
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: and play some first base. That's possible. I think it's possible.

838
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 1: We'll see, but nothing for first base being added. Before

839
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: I get to the rest of the show, I'm gonna

840
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: talk about the other teams. I give you my final grade.

841
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: We do have one reward from our sponsor. I'll be

842
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,240
Speaker 1: right back craft at some point.

843
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 2: We're gonna laugh about how healthcare was so reactive and

844
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 2: not proactive, and we're starting to change that with Superpower.

845
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 2: They believe every human has one one hundred plus year

846
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: potential and they're here to help you get there. I'm

847
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 2: a big believer in this. I just started the journey,

848
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 2: so I'm excited about it. And what do you think as.

849
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 3: A player, You're always looking ways to improve yourself, improve

850
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 3: your health, and this is an easy, easy way. Superpowers

851
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 3: made it way easier than when I was playing. You

852
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 3: had to go get all these lab panels and it

853
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 3: was a long, drawn out, expensive process. But now with Superpower,

854
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 3: so this is awesome for me. I'm excited about it.

855

Speaker 2: They'll send a licensed professional to your home, or you

863
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: All righty, let's get to it here, shall we, And

864
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: taking a look at the current standings. The Yankees and

865
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 1: the Rays did play today, and the Yankees pulled that

866
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: one off. But uh, I mean, listen a little little

867
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: little concern here with how much better these other teams

868
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,760
Speaker 1: got in the American League. I mean the Blue Jays,

869
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 1: who lead the division. I mean, they're they made some

870
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: really good moves here. The Yankees, they bolstered the crap

871
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: out of their bullpen. The Mariners, they added a couple

872
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: of very good bats to their lineup. The Rangers added

873
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: Merril Kelly, the guy that was pitching against them in

874
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: the World Series. A couple of years ago. They got him.

875
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: Now they've added to their bullpen. The Rays got better,

876
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: the Rays, I mean they're three and a half out

877
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: and the Rays got better. They give up Toms Bradley,

878
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: that's whoa. I can't believe they did that. But they

879
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: add a Griffin Jacks, one of the best relievers in

880
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, yeah, they give up Jose Cabiero

881
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: as well. The Yankees got him. But still the Rays

882
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: they like, Holy, the Rays are so confusing. That's the

883
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: most confusing team. I will never understand the Rays, right. Yeah,

884
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: I forgot to mention Yandi. The Rays. They didn't want

885
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: to move him. I don't get the Rays right. But

886
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: the Yankees this bullpen, they got David Bednar, Camille Duval,

887
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: Jake Bird. They like revamped this bullpen. That's insane. You know,

888
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,720
Speaker 1: They're their rotation is looking a little iffy, so they said, okay, rotation,

889
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: we're probably not gonna be able to make moves. But uh,

890
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: that was that. That's another thing. They were connected with

891
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: Sandy all Kintar here today. I forgot to bring him

892
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: up as well. I don't know, it depends on what

893
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: the Marlins were asking for. I'd be curious to see

894
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: what the Marlins were asking for for Sandy. I don't know.

895
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: The thing is that that's a guy they don't have

896
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: to give up. They don't have to, especially when his

897
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 1: value is low. Right. The Rays, I mean again, they

898
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: they added Adrienne Howser, who's been really under the radar

899
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: this year. Uh, Griffin Jacks. Like I said, like the

900
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: Rays are so weird, so weird, like you're a couple

901
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: like a day ago, they're like, oh, okay, we're leaning

902
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: towards selling. Never mind, we're gonna add Griffin Jacks. What crazy?

903
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: And they take they trade uh Taj Bradley in the process,

904
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: one of the top young pictures in the game, and

905
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: they bring an Adrianne Howser, who's you know, I mean,

906
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: he's just kinda he's done really well this year. But

907
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: it's like what came inut of nowhere. The Blue Jays

908
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: they really added to this bullpen with Sir Anthony Dominguez

909
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: and Louis Varland. I mean, they they're picked and Shane

910
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: Bieber of course for the rotation. The Blue Jays got

911
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: better the Mariners. I think the Mariners could have added

912
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,040
Speaker 1: something for the bullpen, but whatever, you beefed up this

913
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: lineup in a big way. With Suarez a nailer. This

914
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: is a deep lineup that you got a pitch too.

915
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: So if you're run into this Mariners team the end

916
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: of the postseason, holy col that's gonna be a tough

917
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: lineup to pitch too. And then the Rangers. The Rangers

918
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: have been hot lately. They went out there, they revamped

919
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: their bullpen, they got May toon, they got Colombe added

920
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 1: Merrill Kelly. I mean, like the Rangers pitching is off

921
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: the charts. I mean, could they have used another bat?

922
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: I think that's definitely a conversation, But you know, they

923
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: kept the lineup the same. But these guys, they're starting

924
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:39,919
Speaker 1: to come around here. But man, the Rangers got really

925
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: good pitching. All of these teams got better, and the

926
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: Red Sox they they yes, the Red Sox got better,

927
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: but these guys, these other teams blew them out of

928
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: the water, blew them out of the water. Again. I

929
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: do believe in this Red Sox team. I do. I

930
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:02,879
Speaker 1: do believe in this team. I think there's a lot

931
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: of talent here. I just wonder. I mean, they're really

932
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:08,959
Speaker 1: gonna have to be at the top of their game

933
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. They're going to have

934
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: to be There's no way around it. They're gonna have

935
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: to keep hitting the way they're hitting. They're gonna have

936
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: to keep They're gonna have to get by with the pitching,

937
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: you know, Brian Bao, Lucas Giolito, They're gonna have to

938
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: hold it down in the middle of the rotation. Walker

939
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: Bueller has to step up. Here, has to step up.

940
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: He did against the Phillies. He is gotta go on

941
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: a bit of a run here, has to Dustin May.

942
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: Let's see if they can get something out of him.

943
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: You know, Bullpen, you gave another arm back there to

944
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: give him a bit of relief, no pun intended. They're

945
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to be at their best right. They're gonna

946
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: have to stay healthy, of course, like any team, but

947
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: the Red Sox more so. You know, if someone goes

948
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: down here, there's not a lot of other options they

949
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: can turn to, especially pitching wise. That's where like if

950
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: you had gotten Merrill Kelly and you know, who's very durable,

951
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: and then you know, and if someone goes down where

952
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: it's like, oh okay, well, good thing, we got Kelly,

953
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, so they're gonna have to stay healthy, They're

954
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to be at the top of their game.

955
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: I believe in this team. It's been a fun team.

956
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed this team despite all the ups and downs,

957
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: and uh, I believe. I think they're gonna be fine.

958
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: Was it a good deadline? No, No, this wasn't a

959
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: good deadline. It was terrible. It was an awful deadline

960
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: based off of the trade that they made. It was

961
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: not a good trade and I don't think you did

962
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: enough in the end. It is what it is. I

963
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: will also say, you know again, if I were to

964
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:00,919
Speaker 1: find another I guess justification again, you did just make

965
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: the big trade of Garrett Crochet, which those are guys

966
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: of the White You lined up with the White Sox there.

967
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you still had those guys, you didn't

968
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: have Crochet. I mean, would we be todding a different

969
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: conversation right now. Maybe possibly? So it is what it is.

970
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: It is what it is. I'm frustrated over this deadline.

971
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm not happy with it, but I still believe in

972
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: this team. I hope they can get the most out

973
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: of Dustin May hopefully that I really hope they do.

974
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 1: And and That's another thing too. If they could figure

975
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: out something with him and he ends up pitching well,

976
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 1: and then he's a free agent here soon, and if

977
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: it ends up being a good fit, then you know,

978
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: maybe you could figure out something like a one year deal.

979
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: So there's possibilities possibilities here. You know. Steven Mattz, I'm cool,

980
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 1: gives gives the bullpen a bit of a lift, a

981
00:59:55,880 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: bit of a lifty lift because wish there more. Overall,

982
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give this deadline a D. I think it

983
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: was even an argument for a D minus. I mean,

984
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: I did like the addition of Steven Mattz. I guess

985
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: Dustin May's okay. Maybe that's I don't know, there's upside,

986
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: but there's not a whole lot of floor right now.

987
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: I would personally go D or D minus. I think

988
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 1: it's I think either one is fair, depending on how

989
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: you feel. I think it's hard to give this any

990
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: higher I do. I would love to say, trust me,

991
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: the positive, the positive brain that I have for the

992
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: most part, the glass half full kind of a guy

993
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: that I am. I would love to say, Hey, it's

994
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: a C. I can't. I think I have to go

995
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: a D D minus that's where I'm at. Let me

996
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: see what you guys all said here in the chat.

997
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: Let me see what you all said. Yup, I'm not

998
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: gonna fall for that. Let me go to the right

999
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: button here. What did you owe? I didn't. I didn't

1000
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: give grades for choices in the vote because I didn't

1001
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't fit all the grades. So I just gave

1002
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: you three options, good, okay or bad. Well, we had

1003
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: three hundred eleven votes. Seventy seven percent say bad, seventeen

1004
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: percent say okay, six percent say good. I think we're

1005
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: all in the in the agreement. Most of us think

1006
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: it is a bad deadline. We had a super chat

1007
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: from Nick. Nick says Craig was the server at Olive

1008
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Garden with the cheese grinder, asking the twins GM to

1009
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,439
Speaker 1: tell him when to stop telling you man, like, who

1010
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: is ever gonna say like, oh no, no, no, we don't.

1011
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't want that much, No, absolutely not. Please please

1012
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: stop giving me more. What is a scene that I'm

1013
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: thinking of from uh park, some wreck park, some rec

1014
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 1: I always think of when Ron Swanson when he's at

01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: the where did he go like like like a whole

1016
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 1: Food's kind of a store, or like whatever. You know.

1017
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: Ron Swanson, the man is a manly man and he

1018
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: loves his meats. And he goes up to the guy

1019
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: giving free samples of the turkey or whatever, the vegan

1020
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: bacon or whatever, and he's like, can I have one? Please?

1021
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: Oh yes, and then he throws it in the trash.

1022
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: Another please another. So you think Ron's gonna stop there?

1023
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: No he's not. No, he's not absolutely not.

1024
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 3: Man.

1025
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: Please, no more prospects, no more good players please. That's
