The 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.000 Welsh is on vacation. He is somewhere drinking butter beer 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:24.959 in Harry Potter World. We've got fresh back from Seattle. 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:27.280 He may or may not have joined a grunge band 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:29.040 at some point for over the weekend. But he was 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:33.560 at all the all star facilities, all the all star facilities, 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:35.960 all star festivities. I think that's what I meant to say. 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.280 My words don't work right by Friday. Everybody who watches 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.440 the show knows this. Scott Bogman is here with us, 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.400 the host of the Dynasty Football podcast. But Bogman, you 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.720 were there live in Seattle, all the amazing stuff. You 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:48.599 saw the futures game. 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:52.519 Yes, mm hmm yeah, n our buddy, Brandon yep home 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.680 run derby Brandon Funston. 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:56.800 Was Funston upright or Hammer drunk for it? 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.680 No? No, he was, he was upright. Yeah, there was 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:00.960 no for him. 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.040 But Fundston when he gets to Flex League in New 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:08.440 York weird things happen for Funston. Wow, Oh, very loose, 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:12.280 very loose. I think I was more of the loose 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.759 guy at the Futures game. So yeah, I'll just leave 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.120 it at that. So well, it looks like I was 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.880 gone and not you, So there you go. It's that's 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.319 what happens when you take a couple of days off. Crazy, 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:28.520 So let it go. I know, just just move on. 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.000 So let's talk about it. Let's talk about the draft 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.800 first of all, which is a fun event that MLB 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.000 is really trying to push and make a thing. I 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.679 always say it's hard because you know, most general public 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.160 and casual fans or even hardcore fans of baseball, you know, 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.280 you don't get to see these guys play that much. 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:45.920 You see a little in the College World Series, but 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.840 it's not like college football every Saturday. It's not like, 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.600 you know, you go through the NCAA basketball tournament, you 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:52.920 see a lot of the guys go to the NBA. 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.440 So I know, you know, we're familiar with some of 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.120 the Skeens and some of the other guys that you 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.680 know we're in the top ten. But how was that? Overall? 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.960 Is a few for an event for you are just curious. 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:03.520 As an event. It was very cool. 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.240 Now, I had to talk to the Welsh about a 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.639 lot of these players because I don't know a lot 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.840 of the guys that are going. Obviously, I'm more of 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.680 the Dynasty football guys, so I know the college football 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.400 guys more than the college baseball guys and high school guys. 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:20.079 But I talked to Welsh and he had basically said that, look, 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.800 the Pirates seem to be passing on both the LSU 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.880 guys and then the LSU guy, you know, Paul Skins 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.680 went first and I got a big pop and there 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:30.720 there was a good chunk of people. I mean, it 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:35.359 was at the Seahawks Stadium and the booze were loud. 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.880 But I did ask my buddy, who's a big Seahawks fan. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.359 I was like, is this just like the weakest roar 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.799 you've ever heard in this stadium? And he's like, oh, yeah, 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.600 you know, because usually it's filled to the brim in 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.320 the Twelfth Man and all that stuff in Seattle. But 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.520 it was a lot of fun booing Rob Manfred. But 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.120 I feel like there might be more hatred for the 0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:00.800 Houston Astros, you know, I mean, especially in Seattle, you know, 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.760 Division opponent. All that right, right, But I mean the 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.480 vitriol for the Astros. They booed Orbit, the mascot when 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.280 they were doing the mascot lineup before the home run 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.959 derby and all that stuff. I mean, people are still mad, 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.519 mad at the Astros, and that was They booed Kyle Tucker. 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.640 They booed everybody, so that was fun to see as well. 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.280 How was the derby for you as an event? You know, 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.880 some people think it goes on too long. I always 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.640 think I love the new time element. To me, it 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.519 makes things move a little quicker. But certainly Julio put 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.280 on a show. I was so mad though, box because 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.800 I had money in a rose arena. And then after 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:38.960 he advanced, guess what, Joey p put more money And 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.480 then he got to the finals and JOEYP said, oh yeah, 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.360 everything's coming up. Randy. I was one home run shy. 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.200 I was screaming at my television, screaming, stop rushing. Why 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.560 are you rushing? You need five more home runs? Stop it, 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.880 stop rushing. He was swinging so fast. They would throw 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.320 the ball so fast. I was losing my mind. It 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.440 was terrible. But outside of my pain, how was the event? 0:03:58.480 --> 0:03:58.800 For you. 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.440 It was great And I did a draft with the 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.840 Welsh and a couple itl Army members and my two 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.560 picks show were Randy Rose, Lorena and Vlad. So I 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.720 was doing okay, I won no matter what in our 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.920 pick them. But I also bet my buddy a bunch 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.800 of money that Randy Rose Raine was going to be 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.240 flat because I thought Lad was gassed at the end, 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.360 and he was absolutely not gassed. He was playing choy 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.839 or whatever he was doing. But yeah, I mean the 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.720 timed element. So I had been to a couple home 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.640 un derbyes before, but I've never been to one with 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.360 the time element, and that just makes it so much better. 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.479 You probably need to get the kids out of the outfield, 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:40.039 to be honest, because another kid got drilled. So it's 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.440 happened like two or three times the last couple, Like, 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.000 just get him out of there, you know, what are 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:44.200 we doing? 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:45.320 Doesn't that build character? 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:45.520 Though? 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.320 I feel like that's you know, I think you can 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:49.040 build character. 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:50.560 Maybe there's a hot take, but I think he can 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.400 build character without taking one hundred and ten mile an 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.120 hour to the face from a baseball. 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.520 I don't know, well, maybe not to the face. What 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.479 about to like, you know, the side of the back 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.640 or something like that kid got into the face, so 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:03.960 you know, yeah, get a maut of that's what gloves are. 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.840 Four bogs. Put that glove up, son, Yep, that's right son. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.480 If you're not, you know, listen, you know you gotta 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.920 get the glove up. All right, let's talk a little 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.839 baseball because baseball is back and I want, I mean, 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.360 it's very rare you get to talk about who was 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.080 at all the All Star festivities in the game was 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.880 actually pretty good too. Of course it moved very well too, 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.120 uh the pace of game, but looking up at the 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.680 stats bogs at the All Star Game of everybody and 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.840 looking at some of the stolen based totals, it was 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.720 really one of these things you sit back and just go, man, 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.440 this is all really working and watching the All Star Game, 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.000 which is typically something like paint drying. It was a 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.679 good game. There's some good defensive moments, but the game moved, 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.400 and all I kept thinking about was, man, the pace 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:44.080 of play is really just changed the feel of the game. 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.359 And even if they took it away, I felt like 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.040 these guys would still be playing at that pace because 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.400 now they're trained now and I think that's yeah. Maybe 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.520 we'll see that at some point, but not anytime soon. 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.880 I don't think so at the very least. But let's 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.720 get to some of the headlines going on here, one 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.000 of which is we have a winner of our Fantasy 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.040 Pros premium.

Let's talk about Aaron Judge, no timetable for 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.000 his return. This is not a good, warm and fuzzy 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.360 feeling for Yankees fans or for fantasy fans, because if 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.279 you have Aaron Judge in your rosters, you're kind of 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.600 sweating right now. So, Boggs, what do you do here 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.560 at this juncture in the season, Because if you have 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.640 Aaron Judge, you haven't had them for a few weeks. 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.400 The value of Aaron Judge in the marketplace is probably 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.559 lower than it should be because of this uncertainty around 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.600 the timetable. So are you just somebody you're just saying, hey, 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.520 I'm stuck. You got a hold? Do you move other 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.920 pieces you have to try to fill that Aaron Judge gap? 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:20.720 Or do you sell them for fifty cents on the 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.240 dollar and take somebody back that's playing, that has upside, 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:24.640 that maybe had a bad first half. 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.480 The only way I'm doing the last suggestion where you 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.240 sell them for fifty cents on the dollar is if 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.480 the rest of my team is outstanding and I'm still 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.680 getting I don't know, fifty cents on the dollar is 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.880 still pretty low. I mean, maybe seventy five cents, sixty cents, 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.640 like somewhere in that range on the dollar. I just 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:43.840 have a hard time selling him off for someone that's 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.520 a tenth round or lower pick, you know what I mean. 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:51.080 So I think because of investment, you're probably pot committed 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.600 to Aaron Judge and just waiting because you're not going 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.040 to get anywhere close. But I mean you're also like, 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.600 this is not a player that's replaceable, that's not a 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.880 replace level players, So you know, you do your best 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.400 feeling in on the wire, maybe make a trade, maybe 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.400 trade from a strength to get some more power, because 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.720 that's what Judge was providing you obviously. So but yeah, 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.160 I mean, it's never good when one of the first 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:18.200 round pick goes out, and that's what's happening now, and 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.520 you just kind of have to live with it. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.440 It's a tough spot for those people who have Fantasy 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.040 playoffs coming because if you know, if you want to 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.360 wait till September for Judge, that's fine in those leagues 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.800 where it's you know, got to make it first, you 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.320 got to make the playoffs. But in those you know, 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.160 season long rodal leagues, you want to wait, maybe have 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.040 a monstrous last six weeks of the season, that's fine. 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.559 From Aaron Judge. But if you're fighting for your life 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.440 right now to get in the fantasy playoffs, I think 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.120 you got to figure out what that Judge value is. 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:45.960 Lucky for all of you, we have a trade chart 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.040 at Fantasy Pros. You can go there and see what 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.040 the trade value is of Aaron Judge right now and 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.640 go check that out. Maybe we'll throw out some fictitious 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:57.000 trades on Monday show. Also, it's open season on Oo 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.880 Sho Halo Tani or Joe hay Oh. That's oh my god, 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.520 how did I miss this all this time? Or I 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.760 could have been calling myself Joe Heyotani. I don't know, 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.080 but that's a shirt that needs to be made. But anyway, 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.840 Joe Haotani's available. Joe Hayotani also available for kids parties 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.760 and other things. Apparently the Dodgers, which we all thought 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.600 would be in on this mix. The Yankees apparently kicking 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.640 the tires too, especially with this Judge injury. Yeah, Yankees 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.760 are kind of in a bad spot and a starter. Yeah, 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.840 you can use every who couldn't use both, let alone 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.439 one guy and Cashman has gotten a lot of heat 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.320 lately because, let's be honest, the Yankees haven't gotten to 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.959 that top level in quite some time, So let's talk 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.120 about it. Jason di Mingez, I imagine will be the 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.920 framework starter of that deal. 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:46.280 Right. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.520 Do you think that Otani to the Yankees is a 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.640 deal that could get done? Yeah? I do. 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.440 I think the Yankees have enough in their system to 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:56.280 make it happen. 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.920 And that's I mean the Angels. You know, it's kind 0:09:58.920 --> 0:09:59.240 of funny. 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:03.480 You heard Jeter and Big Poppy and a Rod talking 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.920 about this before the All Star Game, and they had 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.600 different opinions. I mean, Jeter, who's worked in the front 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.160 office before, said I just don't know how you get 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:12.520 it done. 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:13.960 How do you trade a guy like this? 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.600 You know, because what does that say to your fan 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.880 base when you trade show Hey Otani? 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:19.920 Why would they come back? 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:20.160 Right? 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.240 That's a big part of it. And then it's like, well, 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.520 what does a deal look like too? We've never seen 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.520 the framework around a guy like Otani because there is 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.240 no guy like Otani. So I think it's going to 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.360 be if he does get moved, it's going to be 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.960 an absolute blockbuster. And I would expect the Yankees or 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.440 Dodgers to be the team in it. And I would 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.960 expect it to be so many more pieces than we think, 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.800 even for rental, because most likely whoever trades for him 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.800 will get him to sign an extension, especially if he 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.680 likes it there, so you're more likely to if you 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.680 trade for him. But also if you're the Angels, you 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.560 know there's no way he's coming back. He's not going 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.120 to go with for six months and then come back 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:05.439 to the Angels, so you are disappointing in your fan base, 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.679 and that return has to be very impressive, even for 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.439 rental players, So it's kind of a double edged sword. 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.439 I still like, I don't see how the math maths 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.760 for him to get trade like, because if I'm if 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.600 I'm the Angels, I'm just like, I'm not trading him. 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.280 I'll tell you how the math I'm gonna risk the 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:23.960 same thing I told you to. Well, I'm gonna risk it 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.520 you you unload a portion of the Anthony Rendome contract 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.600 on somebody. That's how you make the math math because 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.240 at the end of the day, that one hundred and 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.559 fifteen million dollars over the next three years, you got 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.080 to pay that JABBRONI that's the problem. That's how that 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:39.360 it's not even I mean. 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.760 Artie Moraine is really struggling to pay him right, he 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.200 can't make his payments, and. 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.800 You know it's here's the thing, It's like, how many 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.480 bad contracts can you eat over the years, you know, 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.080 I mean they've eaten a lot of bad contracts going 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.720 back to Vernon Wells and Josh Hamilton, and you know, 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.559 the end of the Pools deal was not good for them, 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.280 and they always get in the same situation. Now, I 0:11:58.280 --> 0:11:59.960 think the Yankees are actually more of a long shot, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.520 tell you the truth. I think it's a harder sell. 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.880 I think the Dodgers are the easy sell because it 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.040 doesn't uproot him at all. He's in a spot where 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:10.160 he could just stay in Southern California, just hop over, 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.280 go play for the Dodgers, and then he's gonna hit 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.400 free agency because I don't think there's any way that 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:17.839 you can't imagine him going out to free agency. That's 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.120 what I'm looking for when it comes to show hail Tony. Also, 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:26.240 John P. Morosi has saying that the Dodgers are interested 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.480 in White Sox right hander Lucas Gioledo. Now, because Morosi 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.600 said it, I guarantee you it's untrue. Typically he just 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.800 goes ahead and makes up things. I know this for 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.760 a fact from a few friends of mine in the 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.520 inside of business, that they literally need him to create 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.520 a certain amount of content every day. So he literally 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.640 will just go up and say this makes sense for 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.599 this team, and I'm gonna put this. So there's no 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:49.439 way that's happening. But that being said, do you have 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.640 a landing spot in mind for Lucas Giolito or any 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.160 other White Sox pictures because the White Sox got to 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:55.400 start jetising some of these guys. 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:59.160 Yeah, Look, we don't have good rumors. I'll say that. 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.320 I don't know that I'll call anyone's job out right here. Uh, 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.640 but but yeah, look, uh you like like that one, 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:10.000 uh Joe's math they I mean, you know that's the math. 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:11.400 Mathin right right. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.760 Look, we don't have good There's so many teams that 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.120 need starting pitching right now. So I don't think you 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.840 could just say the Dodgers or the Yankees or whatever. 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.640 The d Backs need starting pitching right the Reds. Yeah, 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:28.440 I mean, so many teams that are Playoff eligible needs 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.880 starting pitching. So you know it's gonna be a bidding 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.720 war for these starters and they're gonna get traded for 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.839 too much, which is why for the last month I've 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.000 been trying to get it in Welsh's head that the 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.960 Diamondbacks are probably gonna trade Jordan Lawler for someone that 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.640 is not of Jordan Lawler's ceiling. And he doesn't want 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:50.840 to hear it. But Perdomo just made the All Star team. Uh, 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.880 they just drafted a shortstop out of Stanford in the 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:55.360 first round of the draft. 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:55.960 You know what I mean? 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.520 So like nor is the piece to move for a 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.719 big pitch. Sure, So in fantasy when it. 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.000 Comes to some of these names, let's say you have 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.760 them on your roster, like c sir Gilido or you know, 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:09.760 Marcus Stroman or some of these guys that have pitched 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.720 relatively well on bad teams this year who might get traded. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:17.199 They tend to have a lot, maybe an inflated value 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.280 on the trade market. Are you somebody that wants to 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.360 kind of cash in on that slightly inflated market value 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.560 of those kind of pictures at this juncture the season 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.800 before they get traded, because you know, you when a 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.120 guy goes to a different spot, you never know how 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.520 it's gonna work out. Sometimes those situations are really good. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:33.640 You know, you get the c C. Sabathias of the 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.360 world when he goes and he puts the Brewers on 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.240 his back and it becomes an MVP candidate. And then 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:39.920 you've got some other situations where you trade for a 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.480 guy and he's a complete bust and ends up really 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.080 not helping a team. So are you somebody that just 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.080 holds the line on these guys or do you kick 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.360 the tires on some trade potentially where maybe their values 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:51.360 is a little higher than should be. 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.000 I like to test the waters, of course, to see 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:57.520 if someone will give you an overpay. But in general, 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.880 if a pitcher is pitching well and he's going to 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:02.160 a better team, I want to hold onto that picture. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.520 So if he is getting moved, if he is getting 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.200 flipped to a different team, like you said, yes, you 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:11.160 can pick up struggles, new catcher, new staff, new defense 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:15.440 behind you, different ballpark, different batters, like it's all different. 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:20.160 But if if that guy is having a good year, 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:24.840 I'm more gonna trust in whatever he's doing it is correct, 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.800 and I'm going to lean on him keeping that momentum 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.040 when he moves and still playing well. So I think 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:32.800 for the most part, I want to keep those guys, 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.760 but I'll always listen, always listen for and overpay, and 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.920 don't burn any bridges. Don't be the guy that like, 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:40.960 when someone offers you a bad trade, you go over 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.200 the top and offer them a worse trade. Don't do that. 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.160 Just be like, hey man, we're not even close. Hey lady, 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.840 this is not working. So you whatever, This. 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:50.400 Is not work. That's why I said right before my 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:54.160 diver divorce, I said the same. Oh that right, Yeah, 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.000 that's exactly what I said. Yeah, that's exactly the verbiage. 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.800 Oh good time. Let's continue on here with a rookie lookie. 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.640 Because the A's are trying to pretend like they care. 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.560 This is fun, so they're calling up some prospects. Tyler 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:09.840 Suderstrom is getting the call today. He did appear in 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.320 the Futures Game, so Bodwin may or may not remember that. 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.680 I know it was all a blur. Twenty one year 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:15.680 old catchers. 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:16.680 Seven innings the Futures Game. 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:19.800 Yeah, well yeah, I think it's always that they don't 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.120 play nine, right, It's always the used. 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.560 To, but they switched to seven. It might have something 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:25.040 to do with beers. 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:26.920 When the first started, it was definitely nine, but I 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:28.760 think it's been seven for a little while. Now. I 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.840 can't Welsh would know that's a Welsh thing. No, I asked, Well, 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.800 he didn't remember either, so really it's been a while. 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.760 I mean it happens once a year. Nobody remembers. We'll 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.000 forget by next year. Oh so, so he's. 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.760 A catcher with twenty home runs, not any speed there 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.840 so the powers for real, it's hitting two fifty four. 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.080 I don't know if he's ready necessarily coming from Triple 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.320 A Las Vegas. The power numbers could be inflated because 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.840 it's you know, Las Vegas, and you never know what 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.160 PCL numbers. And then they are also calling up Zach 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.160 Geloff as well, who is hitting three zero four with 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.080 a four oh one OBP much higher. OBP was one 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:06.000 hundred points higher than Soderstrum. He's at in five twenty 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.640 nine slugging, got twelve homers twenty steals, so he could 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.919 potentially help you out as well. Now to me, you know, 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.600 I'm looking at these guys and Gelloff is the one 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.680 that I would much rather be throwing fab on this week. 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.840 What are your thoughts on these two a's prospects. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:22.320 Yeah, I mean Gelloff. 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:26.560 Probably maybe in a two catcher league you're looking Solderstrum. 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.480 But I think for the most part, it's it's Gelloff. 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:35.800 And look, I mean, the the a's are so bad, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.160 you know, to do these moves really matter? 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.600 This is uh, you know, it's very patronizing. I think 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:42.080 to the fan base and be like, oh, now we're 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.359 gonna call these kids up or whatever. But I guess 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.199 here's my point is like, what do you serve at 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.119 this point from doing that. It's not like all of 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.320 a sudden you're gonna put your ends in the ballpark. 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:56.000 Are these kids really ready? Maybe it feels like Gelloff 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.520 is more ready than Soderstrum. But the only thing that 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.240 I can think of from Soderstrum is you want to 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.639 get his feet wet at the major league level catching 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.080
