So a huge testament 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.640 to Addison and the rest of the team there. 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.800 Yeah, we just hit eighty thousand followers on Instagram and 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.760 that's a big shout out to all the people like 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.520 Addison and Logan and the whole crew who have been 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.680 running our socials, Twitter X, whatever you want to call 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.000 it has been awesome as well.

How about it? 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.600 How about it, boys, We've got to run a show 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.800 for all the trades here. But arm Layton newest report. 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.200 The Red Sox have made Marcelo Meyer available per Chrispintio, 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:15.160 that would potentially be for pitching. What is the value 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.119 of the asset that is Marcelo Meyer at this very moment. 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.960 I don't think extremely high. I think because I think 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:23.520 there's a couple of. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.400 Things with Marcelo Meyer and I when you think about 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.080 the Red Sox in the way that they've kind of 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.520 handled some of the optics and what gets leaked and 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.719 what doesn't, I think other teams are going to do 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.200 their due diligence about just like, is this going to 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.000 be somebody that's going to come in and immediately work 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.839 really hard and do all the things that we want 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.800 to have him overcome the injury concerns that he's had 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.400 and things like that. Like, I think some of the 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.000 team's frustration with Meyer has also kind of been aired 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:49.560 out a little bit. 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.200 That doesn't really help your case. But I think when you. 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:53.919 Will get Meyer the player, I had two biggest concerns 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.120 with him as a prospect. One was swing and miss 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:58.840 and like how it would rear its head at the 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.760 big league level, And was injuries. And I think you've 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.440 seen both of those things be abundantly, you know, evident 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.720 in his big league tenure so far through one hundred 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.560 and fourteen games. So I think he's a really interesting 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.080 second piece and a deal for a really good player 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.680 or in a swap for you know, a lesser big leaguer. 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:19.680 I think at this point, you know, there used to. 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.240 Be burn resk there because like, what if Marcella Meyer 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:23.800 figures it all out, You're going to really be upset 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.200 if you moved him for you know, a reliever or 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.080 whatever it may be. I think at this point, I 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.160 don't know if you care as much because I think 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.040 that burn rate becomes a little bit less concerning when 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.000 you still see the injury challenges. 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:35.839 It's not like he's a. 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.520 Wizard defensively, and though the bats to ball has gotten better, 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.520 you slug in three hundred through seventy games this year. 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.679 I think there's a lot of things he has to overcome, 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.720 and I think he's a change of scenery candidate. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:51.000 Gotcha, all right? So we just got news again reported 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.400 by Jeff pass At a ESPN that Elliott Ramos is 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.479 being traded from the San Francisco Giants to the New 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.520 York Yankees. Said, we're going to have to walk the 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.360 tight rope of reporting new news here and breaking down 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.600 new news immediately, but also catching you up on what 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.599 has happened today. So Peyton Genis, you can kind of 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.640 like sneak attack us with any visual you may have 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.520 built for Elliott Ramos go to the Yanks. But we're 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.440 gonna start with probably the biggest move of the day, 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.120 and it pertains to the Boston Red Sox and the 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.960 team that's dangling Marcelo Meyer. Adlei Rutchman is the newest 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.360 member of the Boston Red Sox. Adlie Rutchman, Jake Rogers, 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.160 another catcher, Trek Scooble's best friend that was just dfaid 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.920 by Detroit and picked up by Baltimore. Rutchman, Rogers and 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.560 a little bit of cash go from Baltimore to Boston. 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.320 The return another catcher, Carlos Norvayez, but the big ticket 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.600 return the top pitching prospect in the Red Sox organization, 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.480 right hander Anthony Ironsen, along with the right hander Kison Witherspoon, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.320 who was their first round pick last year, Andya Zokar, 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.960 an outfield prospect and then a player to be named later. 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:54.560 So Craig Breslow pushes the chips in here, Peter, I 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.400 want to start with you. Adlie Rutchman stays in division, 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.320 he goes from Baltimore to Boston. What is your knee 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:02.160 jerk reaction to that? 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.600 So my knee jerk reaction was, first of all, you 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.560 traded Adlie Rutchman. That in and of itself, like you 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.240 came up with that prediction during our trade deadline prediction. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.280 It's a nice call, by the way, and it seemed 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.000 even a little bit outlandish, not because it's not understandable 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.000 from the Orioles perspective, in order to trade Adli Rutchman, 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.200 and when you've already extended Samuel Bissillo is kind of 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:29.920 your catcher of the future. But still the idea of 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.800 trading Adli Rutchman, especially when he's not a rental, when 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.200 he's got a year and a half of control, is 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.880 just rather shocking. And then you tell me you traded 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.480 him in division, you better have gotten a hall. And 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.360 I'll throw it over to Arum about the hall, but 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.240 I know we both agree the O or excuse me, 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.400 the Red Sox had to pay a big indivision tax 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:55.720 because I wanted Adlee a ton as a Yankees fan. 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.520 But once I saw the return, I was like, all right, 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.760 Red Sox, you earned him, arned them. 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.600 Yeah, I mean they paid the indivision tax. 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.560 And I think with the uncertainty around like Baseball next 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.360 year too, it's like, you better hope we got a 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.040 pretty full season. But I think the biggest thing, too, 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:15.640 is you wonder if the Red Sox feel pretty confident 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.760 that they can extend you know, Adlie Rushman there, and 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.000 if that's something that's that's part of this as well, 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.000 because I just I think with how much you gave 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.520 up here, you got to feel like you've got a 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:31.040 shot to do that. Because I'm all for buying and 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:32.920 being aggressive, and I think the Red Sox and the 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.360 way this team has played, should absolutely do that. Adleie 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.960 really elevates his team ceiling and a switch hitter and 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.840 what he brings to the table and the defensive ability 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.760 it goes him working with this pitching staff. There's so 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:48.360 many exciting wrinkles to this. However, it's a lot. It 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.680 is a lot. It's one of the stronger packages I 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.839 can remember for you know, one and a half years 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.000 of a player here and when you look at like 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.880 you're getting Anthony Jinson to lead it off, and I 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.840 think that's been We talked about him as breakout prospect 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:02.560 going into this year, kind of everybody did, and then 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.600 he's gone out there and not only broken out, but 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.280 just has done every single thing that you would have 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.600 I think the most bullish people would have hoped for, 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.280 which is the stuff is better, but the command is 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.800 right there, and he's just overwhelming hitters now even at 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:16.960 the upper levels. The guy that was drafted ahead of him, 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.040 their first round pick, Kyson Witherspoon. It's a really good 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.760 by low opportunity is a first round pick that has 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.040 struggled as the Red Sox tried to clean up his 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.000 delivery a little bit. His arm action is stabby, and 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.000 I think as they tried to smooth it out, it's 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.280 caused him command and consistencies and the field for breaking 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.120 balls hasn't totally been there. But this is a first 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.240 round talent that you're kind of buying low on as 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.920 he struggled that change the scenery, see if you can 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.160 kind of revamp things and get him back to where 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:44.400 he was. And then India's ocar has huge, huge upside here, 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.440 and I think that's a really fun third piece. Potentially 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.400 we're talking about a bat that at nineteen years old 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.760 has already popped eggs of velosites his highs one hundred 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.800 and thirteen, good field to pull the ball in the 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.480 air that I think is going to translate that into 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.680 potentially easy plus power as he grows. And there's some 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.280 speed athleticism as well. Just those three guys alone are 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.720 a crazy return for a year and a half, badly 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:08.240 And I get it. Like, I'm not saying it's a 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.480 bad trade, it's just for the O. It's like, if 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.640 you're going to trade in division, this helps justify it 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:13.120 for sure. 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.880 Yeah, Like Jack, when you saw this trade too, it 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.400 was just it was mind blowing. I think back and 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.560 I was looking at the biggest Indivision trades over the 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.520 last I don't know, twenty twenty five, thirty years, and 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.120 I thought this might be the biggest ever since nineteen 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.959 ninety nine when the Blue Jays traded Roger Clemens to 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.640 the Yankees in exchange for David Wells. Now, there have 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.480 been some big ones along the way, but that it's 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.360 felt like the biggest. To me, Adley is a top 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.400 five catcher in the game, and this hall is massive. 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.400 This is one of the coolest trades I've seen in 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:46.000 a long time. 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.560 It is cool. I will pump the brakes on being 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.200 the biggest Inner Division trade since Roger Clemens in nineteen 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.840 ninety nine because Adley Rutchman is not who Adley Richmond 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.120 once was. He just isn't. Over the last two years. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.240 It's the three point eight War. He's been on the 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.720 shelf what three separate times this season already you're getting 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:07.240 damaged goods Adlie. But he's still a very good baseball player, 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.400 There's no doubt about that. But is he a catch 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.920 six days a week guy anymore? Doesn't seem like it. 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.679 He hasn't been doing that for Baltimore and Baltimore clearly 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.760 favored the young catcher with the better bat right now 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:22.600 in Samuelbisio over Adley Ruchman. That's why he was possibly expendable. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.400 It wasn't well, we're reluctant to deal with Superstar. But 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.480 to your point, there's that intra division tax that you 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.520 have to pay. So again, Addlie Rutchman goes from Baltimore 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:37.760 to Boston. We've got another big deal that went Anaheim 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.720 to Toronto. And first and foremost, slight golf clap for 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.640 the La Angels getting John mose Lock in there and 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.560 Ardi Moreno giving John mose Lock the ability to move. Guys, 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.640 this is the first time we've ever seen the Angels 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:55.240 sell when they should have sold fifteen times over the 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.240 course of the last seventeen or eighteen years. 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.760 So do you think that was Perry then that more 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:01.600 so it was like I want to operate this way, 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.600 or do you think it was more mosay Lock finally 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.160 saying I'm going to change my ways. I'm firing or 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.040 not mosaic excuse me, the already saying I'm gonna change 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.760 my ways. I can't. It's it's like the toxic relationship. 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:14.520 I need to grow up as a person. I'm getting 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.880 rid of this this bad friend that helps me do 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.840 bad things, and we like and break up with them, 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.520 or just break off with that friend and let me 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.800 bring in somebody better, smarter, more experience, and let's start 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:26.960 to try to do business. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:27.400 The right way here. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.120 I feel like that was more of what it was like 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.840 Perry was more of a signaling of a new approach 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.520 for Artie, who wowed good self awareness to finally come 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:35.080 around here. 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.360 Yeah, I really don't think it was a Perrymanassi and 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.040 John Mozae lock problem. I think Perry probably wanted to 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:42.760 run the team a little bit different than the way 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.280 Arty Moreno wanted him to run the team. And once 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.400 Arty Moreno fired Perry Manassi and it kind of sort 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:53.360 of seemed like it was time for an entire overhaul. 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.840 And I think Artie Moreno is understanding of that. Artie Moreno, 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:58.240 over the course of his life has made a lot 0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:59.640 of money. That means he's made a lot of good 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.040 decision and I think he can probably look himself in 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.400 the mirror and say, we're the butt of every joke 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.560 in baseball right now. We've officially overtaken the Rockies. So 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.880 You've got that going on here, But do want to 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.440 get into that again. We're trying to like toe the 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.560 line of being ready to react to immediate reporting while 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.840 also going back and recapping the best deals of the day. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.280 Your smiling arm. What just came through? 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.400 I think kind of exactly what I was saying about 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.960 what Marcelo Myers value probably is at this point. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.360 Traded for a reliever, You nailed it. 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.040 That's why I was waiting for Jack to usher the 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.400 trade because I wanted you to kind of you caught 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.160 the alley oop earlier on to the show, and then 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.520 you just dunked it. He got traded for a reliever. 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:43.120 I like Eric Miller. I like Eric Miller. He was 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.080 traded for a reliever. 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.960 Interesting, and that's a very crowded infield. I understand Casey 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:52.120 Schmid's hurt, but fascinating. All right, let's actually talk about 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:53.920 this Halo deal and then we can circle back on 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.640 Elliott Ramos and Marcelo Meyer. I do want to talk 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:01.640 about Jose Sorianum going from the La Angels to the 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.400 Toronto Blue Jays. Jose Soriano was one of the more interesting, 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:09.320 possibly available names on the pitching market this year. And 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:13.840 Soriano makes his way from Anaheim to Toronto for Argin d'mala, 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.320 their second best prospect Eddie mcletty and right hander on 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:21.680 hell Rivero as well three Paspec return arm lighton the 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.240 big ticket name here is Argin Damala. Kind of want 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.880 to kick it over to you. First initial thought on 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:31.280 Soriano joining the Jays and Themala being traded by. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.840 Toronto, Yeah, kind of surprising, you know. 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.120 I think we thought Toronto might sell nothing crazy, not 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.240 like go nut sell, but sell some rental pieces and 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.400 call it today. But I think they on opportunity to 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.520 position themselves for the next couple seasons and they go 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.360 get Soriano, who I think they're even going to probably 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.280 tweak his usage even a little bit more and maybe 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:52.760 get away from the four seamer. We'll see what they 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.120 do there, but a guy that's clearly going to bolster 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.640 their rotation for I mean the rest of this season, 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.400 which that doesn't matter as much, and then two more 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.840 after that, maybe they extend and we'll see the biggest 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.080 and most surprising part is you usually just don't see 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:09.400 prospects of Argent Namala's caliber traded at the deadline, and 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.440 by that, like Yeah, you see some borderline top one 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:11.880 hundred guys. 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.480 You see like big packages that we've talked about. 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.960 But Namala for us, the top thirty prospect, this guy 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:18.040 that's going to stick it shortstop. 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.320 He's their former first round pick. Yeah. 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.280 He's had a little bit of turbulence, which was to 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.440 be expected as one of the youngest players in the 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.840 draft class, but has just continued to get better and 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:29.760 was a big riser for us, as we talked about 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.120 on the call up, because he added more power, the 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.600 bats of ball got better, the approach got better, and 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.120 he had settled into it now double a in his 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.200 age twenty season where he's been really productive. A little 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.480 bit of a hamstring issue, you know, delayed a bit 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.520 of that, but has been back and swinging yet again. 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.120 So when you have plus raw. 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.640 Power the ability to stick it short, that's not a 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:50.440 guy that I feel like a team is quick to 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.160 move off of. And that was surprising for me. I 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.160 get that you're getting two and a half year, two 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.080 and thirty years here of Soriana, but this year is 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.000 kind of wiped out, so I was a bit surprised. 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.160 But at the end of the day, they upgraded their 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.119 big league team, and you know, Namal is still a 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.840 year plus away. And I think this was as good 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.480 of a get for the Angels though. And this is 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.440 just the Angels operating, which is exciting. We've talked about 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.000 it with the Rockies, like seeing them just operate, seeing 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.639 the Angels operate here. John mose look had some of 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.479 his shortcomings in Saint Louis. It felt like the game 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:22.960 kind of passed them by a little bit. But the 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.280 guy knows the process, he knows how to do things, 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.720 and compared to what they were doing before and Anaheim, 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:30.800 this is a signal. 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:32.720 Of I think better days ahead for Angels fans. 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.119 Yeah, Peter, what do you think about the fit of 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.960 Jose Soriano going from Anaheim to Toronto when Soriano is 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.000 controllable for two more years beyond this. 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:45.000 Yeah, I really commend GM Ross Atkins for a deal 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.240 like this because I think a lot of gms, especially 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:52.520 those on teams that had high expectations and then kind 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.480 of fell down and don't look like a playoff team. 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.560 Per Fang Grafts, the Blue Jays only have about a 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.360 six percent chance of making the playoffs, So a lot 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.480 of those gms might just say all right, We'll sell 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.639 off expiring pieces and go get him next year. But 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.240 ross Akins said, I'm not going to be put in 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.720 this arbitrary buyer or seller bucket. I'm going to make 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.800 the best moves for my team moving forward. And I 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.720 think this was a great move and it sets up 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:20.520 a really strong rotation next year with Dylan Ceese at 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.720 the top, Jose Soriano, Trey Is Savage, and then they're 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:25.960 going to get Cody Ponce back as well. And I 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.600 think there was also a move Dalton Varshow in exchange 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.399 for Spencer Arraghetty, so maybe he's there five. So I 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:35.960 really appreciate Atkins. Isn't just your normal seller, right he 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.840 gave away Gosman. He could have said all right, deadline 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:42.399 over or traded away Varshow and just kind of gotten 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.119 a little bit complacent, but he said, no, we still 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.320 have an elite team here. We went to the freaking 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.919 World Series last year and I'm going to continue to 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.159 build and Soriano Argientamal is a great piece. But they 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.240 also have Jojo Parker who could potentially be their shortstop 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:57.840 of the future as well. Not sure about that. I 0:18:57.880 --> 0:18:59.960 want to throw that over to Arum just at least 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.880 another shortstop of note, So I really like the move 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:04.639 from Atkins. 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:09.280 Arm quick pushback from you on the Parkernmala conversation, and 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.200 then I want to cap the Blue Jay thought. 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:13.399 Yeah, I've saw that point made by a few And 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.560 my thing with that is, like, if you're trading an 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.200 upper minors shortstop prospect. 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:20.760 Because you have a low way. 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.840 Shortstop prospect that's swinging it pretty well, I don't know, 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:27.960 like if that would be the best process. I think 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:32.720 this was just them really just wanting Jose Soriano and 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:34.520 maybe it's a little bit easier just knowing that at 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.840 least you have somebody else that can really, you know, 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:38.639 project into that guy. But I still have some concerns 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.600 if Parker can stick it short like in Namala is 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.359 an above average shortstop. But I agree with everything Peter 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.800 said in terms of like the process for the Jays here, 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.639 and this is a team that is not all that 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.960 different from the team that made it to the World 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.000 Series and almost won it, Like with some of these 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:59.240 bolstered pieces here and just this season's loss, a lot 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.920 of shit didn't go their way. Running it back next 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:04.840 year with a little bit of a better luck and 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.600 then the year after that with the same core that 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.000 got there. Yeah, you lost a couple of small pieces, 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:11.679 but you tap able to jolt it like this, I 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.440 think is exciting and there I guess they're hoping that 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.239 they're going to be able to replenish a little bit 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:18.000 of the farm system with some of the smaller trades. 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:20.480 It's a steep price to pay, but if Jose Soriano 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:22.800 is a mid rotation starter for you for the next 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.600 two years after this, I think it's worth it, assuming 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.879 that the blue Jays are remotely competitive, which is ultimately 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:30.679 the expectation. 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.199 Yeah, real quick, just want to tie a bow on 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.159 the blue Jay thought, because I think Peter hit the 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.760 nail on the head, like this was certainly the blip 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.800 in the radar season, and there were a whole bunch 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.880 of things that went wrong right away, Like mind you, 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:47.000 the blue Jay slide. This season was effectively shot at 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:50.040 the beginning of the year, and they had this climb 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:52.640 back to relevance and then this stooped down a couple 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:56.359 of weeks ago, but April did them in. And it 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.280 goes back to like the age old adage, you can't 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.320 win a division in April. But you can certainly lose 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.840 a division in April, and Toronto lost a division in April, 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:08.359 and it was injury related, right, No, you Savage for 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.520 the first couple of months really stunk. Ponce getting hurt 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:15.879 right away, really stunk Alejandro Kirk getting hurt right away, 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:18.919 Springer getting hurt right away. They had so many guys 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:22.640 in that lineup that got hurt, while Okamoto was underwhelming 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:24.560 for the first month and a half of his career, 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:26.800 and then Vladdie, I mean, Vladdy hasn't hit the ball 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:28.520 out of the ballpark. And you think that that's coming 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:31.200 to correct itself next year. You will see a better 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:33.639 version of the Blue Jays next year. I promise you. 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:38.040 This was the tenth percentile outcome this year of the 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:41.360 Toronto Blue Jays. And if we get the sixtieth percentile, 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.520 they're a wild card team, no doubt, and they're probably 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:46.919 competing for second that division. And if we get the 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:51.159 seventy fifth or eightieth percentile next year, especially with Soriano 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:54.639 and Ponce and Sees and Y Savage, that can be 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:57.800 a really dangerous team and a World Series caliber team 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.879 as soon as next year. Take us to one of 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:04.679 the newer moves here the Yankees. They finally do something 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:07.320 to address the offense. Mark fine Stand reported the New 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:13.320 York Yankees. The New York Yankees they not only acquired 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:18.479 Luis Garcia Junior yesterday last night, they also go and 0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:21.680 get Elliott Ramos from the San Francisco Giants. So Elliott 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:25.920 Ramos is officially a New York Yankee. Henry l Lane 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.400 is going to be the primary prospect in the return. 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:34.720 Elliott Ramos is a masher, particularly against left handed pitching. 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:37.800 He brings some thump to that lineup, Peter, where do 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:40.159 your concerns sit with Elliott ramos. 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:44.480 Defense and his ability to hit right handed pitching? And 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:47.879 he's one of those players too where where when you 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:52.840 watch him enough consistently, Consistency is not a part of 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:56.280 his game. It's a lot of ebbs and flows. However, 0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:59.200 at the top of the mountain, he could be a really, 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:02.040 really solid player and provide a ton of explosion at 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.040 the plate. But at the bottom he's swinging and missing 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:08.879 too much, and the defense has I've seen some horrific 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:12.200 plays out there in left field. But the Yankees they're 0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:15.840 not acquiring Elliott Ramos to be their everyday left fielder. 0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:20.399 They're acquiring Elliott Ramos to be a soft, slide, soft 0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:23.480 side of the platoon bat and against left handed pitching. 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:26.520 This season, he's rocking a one to twenty seven WRC plus, 0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:30.320 which means he's been twenty seven percent above the league 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:33.399 average rate against left handed pitching, which is exactly what 0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:36.160 the Yankees need. And I was a little bit surprised 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:39.880 to see Henry Lallane as the main prospect in this deal. 0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:42.320 I think the Giants are getting a really good, young 0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:45.560 pitching prospect, but then you have to remember that Elliott 0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:48.520 Romos comes with what three and a half years of control, 0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:53.480 and he's really cheap as well. But ultimately, I thought 0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:55.840 the Giants did pretty well here, and I feel like 0:23:55.880 --> 0:24:00.679 the Yankees the clock is running out on them on 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:04.600 their ability to acquire a right handed bat. Don't love 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:07.240 this one, don't. I don't hate it. 0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:10.520 I don't love it either, arm as disagreement on something 0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:11.480 you said. 0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:13.400 No, I think it's just one of those where it's 0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:16.360 like that you're gonna have to kind of bargain ben 0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:17.800 shot for right handers. 0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:21.720 At this point, there's just not that many right handed. 0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:24.320 Bats out there, so I don't hate like the creativity, 0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:28.000 and if they gave up somebody more and more impactful, 0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:31.639 I get it. What's interesting is is Lelane has a 0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:34.399 lot there's a lots of dream on there, but like 0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:37.120 emphasis on the dream side. Now he's taking a big 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:38.679 step forward here, and I think when you look at 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.679 the the Giants organization and what you can bring to 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:44.480 the table here, it's the exact kind of guy you 0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:46.080 want to probably get in a deal like this, but 0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:49.960 giving out cheap he is and and you know, maybe 0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:52.119 they can unlock something the Yankees with with Ramos or 0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:54.720 help him improve in some areas. I think it's at 0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:57.320 least interesting from that perspective. Lane has had a really 0:24:57.400 --> 0:25:00.760 nice year. Injuries have limited him and and have also 0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:02.280 caused the velocity to fluctuate. 0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:05.000 This guy's six foot seven two and eleven pounds. 0:25:05.080 --> 0:25:08.040 He's definitely gotten stronger this year as he's gotten healthier, 0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:11.840 and his fastball is up two ticks so now averaging 0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:13.120 ninety four miles per hour. 0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:15.240 He gets good extension down the mount obviously with. 0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:17.240 How big he is, and the secondaries have been a 0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:19.960 work in progress, but that the change up has always 0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:21.119 been there for him, and that's a pitch that I 0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:23.760 feel like has gotten a lot better this year as well, 0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:26.480 feel wise, and then he's trying to find that breaking ball. 0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:27.560 It's just not as much. 0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:30.760 He's clearly a pronator, but the fastball change up combination 0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:33.040 from a six to seven lefty is really fun to 0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:35.720 kind of dream on. He's twenty two years old, still 0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:37.639 hasn't pitched above high A, but he had a lot 0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:40.399 of success at low way and it started to settle in. 0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:42.320 At high A. So I think it's a fun get 0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:42.800 for the Giants. 0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:44.400 But one, if you're the Yankees, I don't think you're 0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:47.000 losing a ton of sleepover. It's probably a player that 0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:48.600 you know when you look at all of the arms 0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:50.600 that the Yankees have, not the end of the world 0:25:50.880 --> 0:25:52.040 to keep trading a. 0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.040 Few another fun one that Peyton just fleshed up on 0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:57.400 the screen. If you're with us on YouTuber x, and 0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:00.440 thank you all very much for again joining us here 0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:03.520 on our MLB draft or on not our MLB draft, 0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:07.480 on our MLB Trade deadline live stream. I can't conflate 0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:11.200 all the live streams. Man Ken Rosenthal reporting the Brewers 0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:15.720 are working to acquire reliever Antonio Senzatela from the Colorado Rockies. 0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:18.880 This is about forty five minutes removed from Milwaukee going 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:22.040 to acquire Dustin May and Jojo Romero from the Saint 0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:26.040 Louis Cardinals. So an interesting one that we can dissect momentarily. 0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.359 I do want to take us to one of the 0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:35.640 more disappointing deadlines. Credit to you, Peter Apple, the Atlanta Braves. 0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:38.040 We have thirty minutes to go until the MLB trade 0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:41.560 deadline at six pm Eastern time. But the Atlanta Braves 0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:45.800 have been active. But just how active is this? The 0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:49.320 Braves acquire Tyler Malley from San Francisco for right hander 0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:53.200 Anthony Molina. They acquire lefty bullpen arm Brent Souiter from 0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:56.280 the Angels for Nacho Alvarez Junior. And they also go 0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:59.040 and get Lane Thomas and Bailey Falter from the Royals 0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:04.280 for Lucas Brow and Carter Holton. There's not much sex 0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:06.560 appeal here for the Atlanta Braves, like if they were 0:27:06.560 --> 0:27:09.399 gonna go be a big swinger, this is not the 0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:11.720 deadline you want to see if you're Braves fans. Again, 0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:14.920 there's thirty minutes left. They can go do something much bigger, 0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:18.640 But Atlanta, you're right, Peter, this is just kind of 0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:21.680 a dud from them at this deadline. Yeah. 0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:24.480 The reason I made this prediction was I was looking 0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:27.960 at the Braves roster and I said, all right, the 0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:33.119 Braves don't actually need anything, which means Alexanthopolis is not 0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:37.159 going to trade from his farm system in order to 0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:40.439 get big time pieces, because that's what Alexanthopolis does. And 0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:43.000 I go back and forth on him because on one hand, 0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:46.840 I fully recognize what an incredible job he's done overall 0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:49.359 with the Braves, but then at the same time, I 0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:53.600 can understand Braves fans' frustrations where they feel like he 0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:58.280 never does the big time move, the big swing, right, 0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:01.000 and the Dodgers are making big swing. There's other teams 0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.040 who are making big swings. We just talked about the 0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:05.480 Adley deal right where it was a quote unquote overpay. 0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:08.440 Other teams are overpaying, but they're getting the guy and 0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:10.240 they're trying to make a run at the playoffs, while 0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:14.320 the Braves are making the model win type moves, the 0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:18.080 bargain bin moves. Well, we think we can get more 0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:21.240 out of this guy who's pitched to a thirteen era 0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:24.560 this season, And that was my worry with the Braves 0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:29.920 because unless they absolutely needed something, I said, they're probably 0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:32.320 not going to do much then and now it's not nothing. 0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:35.240 Lane Thomas is a nice addition, right, he could certainly 0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:38.200 hit left hand handed pitching. They'll slot in nicely to 0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:40.240 their outfield. We said that was one of their needs. 0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:45.000 They got a starting pitcher, Tyler Mallley, who did look 0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:47.600 good in his last start, like he does slot into 0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:50.640 the back end of their rotation. But I think Jack 0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:52.520 when we were an arm two, when we were all 0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:55.720 having the discussion about the Braves, we wanted it too 0:28:56.640 --> 0:29:01.600 because we thought relying so fully Spencer Schwellenbach to come 0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:05.080 back from full health is putting a lot on him. 0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:07.400 So we were hoping they would make a big swing, 0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:11.000 even for a Casey mice right, But instead they get 0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:13.560 Tyler Malley. And I feel like they have seven Tyler 0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:15.280 Malley's in house. Am I wrong? 0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:16.320 Are them? 0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:19.360 Don't they have seven of these guys? Yeah? 0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:20.040 They do. 0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:21.360 And that's why I just kind of felt like it 0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:23.480 might just be an ing z eating, like just just 0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:27.960 insurance policy move, and they just that we haven't seen 0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:30.200 anything else yet. I'm still holding my breath, like myes 0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:31.960 felt like the perfect fit, and I still feel like 0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:34.080 there's some sort of world where that happens at the deadline, 0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:37.400 so like, we got another twenty seven minutes here, so 0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:40.640 I'm curious. But yeah, it does just kind of feel 0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:43.240 like that classic Braves deadline where they make some of 0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:45.840 those secondary additions to just kind of help bolster them 0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:47.880 for the rest of the regular season run and they 0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:49.160 trust in their guys. 0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:49.800 Yep. 0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:54.080 The MLB Trade Deadline live stream for Just Baseball is 0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:57.360 presented by goat Labs.

How about this bomb that Peyton Gen 0:30:35.840 --> 0:30:38.640 has just dropped on us Foster Griffin, who signed a 0:30:38.680 --> 0:30:41.400 one year deal coming over from Japan in All Star 0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:44.320 for the Washington Nationals this year, and it was reported 0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:47.240 by Buster Only a ESPN that they could be interested 0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:50.880 the Washington Nationals in working out extension with Foster Griffin. 0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:55.479 The slide right before the deadline per Robert Murray sends 0:30:55.520 --> 0:31:00.760 Foster Griffin from Washington to Cleveland. Cleveland, mind you, is 0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:03.640 the only team in Major League Baseball that hasn't used 0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:06.840 a sixth starting pitcher this year. They've had five guys 0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:09.960 start a baseball game for them. They have had supreme health, 0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:13.000 and they add an All Star starting pitcher to the fold. 0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:15.880 My initial thought is do they go six man rotation here? 0:31:16.240 --> 0:31:20.760 My other thought is, holy smokes, Cleveland looks good right now. 0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:25.320 Griffin is a blast to watch, just perform surgery on 0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:26.440 the mound every fifth day. 0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:29.640 I'm so glad the Guardians made this move because one, 0:31:29.840 --> 0:31:33.200 isn't Foster Griffin the most Cleveland Guardians pitcher you've ever seen? 0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:34.280 Absolutely? 0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:37.880 I don't think Messik to Griffin will be the most 0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:41.080 frustrating series of all time and obviously if Gavin Williams 0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:42.800 leading to notf but I'm thinking about those two lefties 0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:43.840 would drive me insane. 0:31:44.400 --> 0:31:46.200 Is the best and then you got can Tillo is 0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:48.160 like this wild card out of the pen. It's gonna 0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:48.960 be so much fun. 0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:50.960 And you know what, we gave a golf clap to 0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:53.680 the Angels for finally, you know, going in that type 0:31:53.680 --> 0:31:56.400 of direction. How about the Cleveland freaking guardians. 0:31:55.920 --> 0:31:58.240 Like Joe Adelin, Foster. 0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:01.840 And Foster Griffin. And that's what I'm talking about, guardians 0:32:01.880 --> 0:32:03.720 like we want to go win this shit. So I 0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:06.240 think it's a great job by Cleveland. I'm just curious 0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:09.440 what the return is for Foster Griffin because like Jack 0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:15.000 All Star having a fantastic season, what are the Nationals 0:32:15.000 --> 0:32:16.480 going to get in return? I want to see to 0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:17.080 Bony cook. 0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:21.280 Yeah, and he's been cooking, mind you, so really fun here, 0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:24.520 arm What do you make of Foster Griffin's year? Do 0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:25.840 you see sustainability? 0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:30.360 I feel like I was waiting for like month, two, 0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:32.520 month three in there for that to start to like 0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:34.840 just for him to regress a little bit, and I 0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:36.320 just don't think it's gonna happen. 0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:37.200 We've seen now. 0:32:37.240 --> 0:32:39.920 I think a large enough sample size where the stuff 0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:44.680 is just good enough, when paired with the surgical aspect 0:32:44.680 --> 0:32:46.440 of his ability in the man that you mentioned Jack, 0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:50.200 that he's just going to be incredibly consistent, and when 0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:53.040 you paired just the field of pitch that he has 0:32:53.360 --> 0:32:56.240 the deep bag of offerings. I mean, it's like there's 0:32:56.400 --> 0:32:58.200 six different offerings that he can come at you with 0:32:58.240 --> 0:33:01.720 maybe a seventh that whole technically throwing there. And even 0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:03.520 when he doesn't have it that day with one of 0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:06.120 his offerings, he can pivot to another one and execute. 0:33:06.120 --> 0:33:07.760 So I love this get for the Guardians. 0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:10.760 It raises their ceiling too, because he's better than I 0:33:10.760 --> 0:33:12.480 don't know who gets displaceds at Cantillo. 0:33:12.720 --> 0:33:14.120 Would it be Cantillo that gets displaced? 0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:15.880 I think, would it be Secconi? 0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:18.160 I thought, yeah, probably say Jacconi. 0:33:18.360 --> 0:33:20.640 You move him out of the rotation, raises the ceiling 0:33:20.640 --> 0:33:23.280 in that rotation, and now you've got three different guys 0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:25.360 that you feel really good about getting the ball, and 0:33:25.560 --> 0:33:27.360 then of course still a fourth solid one. 0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:31.280 Four players reportedly going back to Washington from Cleveland for 0:33:31.360 --> 0:33:35.240 Foster Griffin, so excited to see who those four players are. Also, 0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:37.400 Peyton will allow you time to build out the graphic. 0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:40.440 But the Minnesota Twins, Peters Twins getting Jeff Hoffman from 0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:44.440 the Toronto Blue Jays. Damn, they're going in. We talked 0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:49.479 about the Braves and their disappointing deadline. It was pretty 0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:52.880 disappointing for Philly until this morning when they go and 0:33:52.920 --> 0:33:54.800 get the premier bat to ball guy in Major League 0:33:54.840 --> 0:33:59.080 Baseball and Luisa Rise, Luisa Rise and a reliever that 0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:01.760 throws one hundred miles an hour in Caleb Killian. Arise 0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:05.560 and Killian go from San Francisco to Philadelphia for Ramone. 0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:09.799 Marquez and Marty gare two right handed pitching relievers. Arm 0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:11.600 you think Marquez is really good, and I want to 0:34:11.640 --> 0:34:13.840 tee you up for that in a moment here. But 0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:18.520 Arise creates this puzzle, like this jigsaw puzzle that has 0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:21.920 been sorted out reportedly. I think it was toddz Aleki 0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:24.640 that reported this. Bryce Harper brought his outfield glove on 0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:27.439 the last road trip. Harper's going to be pivoting back 0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:29.640 to right field or left field. Harper's going to be 0:34:29.640 --> 0:34:32.440 playing the corner outfield. Bryceon Stott is going to make 0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:35.120 the pivot from second base to third base and Alec 0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:37.319 Baum is going to go corner to corner. He was 0:34:37.360 --> 0:34:39.719 the third baseman. Bom is now going to play first 0:34:39.760 --> 0:34:42.160 base for the Philadelphia Philly So again it's going to 0:34:42.200 --> 0:34:45.120 be Bom at first, Arise at second, Trey Turner remains 0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:47.840 at short stot at third, and Bryce Harper goes to 0:34:47.880 --> 0:34:50.640 the corner outfield. Before we get into the Arise fit 0:34:50.760 --> 0:34:53.360 in Philly, which I feel like is a slam dunk. Personally, 0:34:53.960 --> 0:34:55.800 arm who is Ramone Marquez. 0:34:56.640 --> 0:35:00.240 This has been one of the breakout pitching prospects in baseball. 0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:01.560 Here, and I honestly think they had to tack on 0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:03.920 Killian just to be able to get Marquez back in 0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:06.560 this deal, because Killian's a sneaky get in this. 0:35:06.719 --> 0:35:09.640 In this like, he's not insignificant given that you know 0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:10.319 he's pitched at. 0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:13.040 Leverage for the Giants and you've got five years of 0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:15.319 control with that, I really think they had to attack 0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:17.360 him on. They probably didn't want to move him to 0:35:17.400 --> 0:35:20.320 be able to get a pitcher like Marquez. Marquez's fastballs 0:35:20.320 --> 0:35:22.560 ticked up one point five miles per hour this year, 0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:24.920 so he's now sitting in the mid nineties. That's always 0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:27.239 huge for a guy that has an elite change up, 0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:30.160 so now you have that velocity separation. Marquez's changed up, 0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:32.120 it's like a freaking screwball out of that release point 0:35:32.160 --> 0:35:35.759 and it's like fourteen to fifteen miles per hour of 0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:38.880 separation there and it just falls off the table. Punts 0:35:38.880 --> 0:35:42.040 are heading below one hundred against Marquez's change up this season, 0:35:42.280 --> 0:35:44.719 and with the uptick in velocity, it's also made his 0:35:45.040 --> 0:35:48.600 kind of cutterish slider sharper and more effective as well. 0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:51.040 So you have the better fastball, you have the elite 0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:53.279 change up, you have that cutter ofsh slider as well, 0:35:53.600 --> 0:35:57.400 and a good field to pitch. Going into this like 0:35:57.680 --> 0:36:00.760 month or going into July, we wrote up the Giant System, 0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:05.520 crazy fun bats, high upside guys that you say, Wow, 0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:07.799 the system's really improved, especially if these guys can figure 0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:09.920 it out, you know, at the lower levels. 0:36:10.200 --> 0:36:12.760 But they need more pitching, especially upper level right handed pitching. 0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:14.760 They go out and get Jackson four in the draft, 0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:17.440 they get two other high upside arms with their second 0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:20.439 and third picks, and then now they add in Marquez here. 0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:22.759 This is one of the most rapidly like rising and 0:36:22.800 --> 0:36:24.880 strong systems. Now, all of a sudden, in Baseball. I 0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:27.279 know it's been a horrible loss season for Giants fans 0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:29.560 and for the Giants, but at the very least this 0:36:29.640 --> 0:36:32.040 system was already had as much momentum as any You 0:36:32.080 --> 0:36:34.719 add some of these guys to the fold two, this 0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:37.160 is a really balanced, now and exciting system. 0:36:37.800 --> 0:36:40.680 Peter, what do you think about Dave Dombrowski trading a 0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:43.400 breakout pitching prospect to go and get a rental a 0:36:43.520 --> 0:36:46.359 Rise who changes the fabric of this lineup drastically. 0:36:47.040 --> 0:36:48.919 Well, that's why Arm is so great, because I didn't 0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:51.160 know much about this pitching prospect. And then I'm watching 0:36:51.160 --> 0:36:54.680 those highlights that podcast Pe put up there, and I'm like, 0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:57.719 that is a nightmare for hitters. You see that tunnel Arm, 0:36:58.120 --> 0:37:00.600 Like it's from the same exact Arm, and he's got 0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:02.319 the slider, and he's got the changeup and he's got 0:37:02.360 --> 0:37:04.680 the fastball, and it just feels like, at least again 0:37:04.800 --> 0:37:07.560 just from watching that video, the guys aren't ready for it. 0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:10.480 So for the Phillies or excuse me, the Giants, to 0:37:10.520 --> 0:37:13.439 get a piece who looks as good as he just did, 0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:16.879 I'm impressed. But on the Phillies side, on the major 0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:20.839 league side, the Phillies desperately needed a bat. It's kind 0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:23.400 of that same conversation that we had with the Yankees 0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:29.200 and Luis Garcia, where you thought, wait, where's he gonna play? 0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:31.600 You figure it out, because at the end of the day, 0:37:31.640 --> 0:37:35.400 the Philadelphia Phillies ranked twenty ninth and on base percentage 0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:40.960 this season twenty ninth Luisa Riaz three sixty OBP right 0:37:41.040 --> 0:37:44.279 batting average, they ranked twenty third. Luisa Riaz, he's hitting 0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:47.000 three twenty three thirty. So it's a bat that can 0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:49.920 set the table at the top for guys like Bryce 0:37:49.960 --> 0:37:54.000 Harper and Kyle Schwarber because Trey Turner ain't cutting it 0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:55.880 at the top of the lineup right, But maybe you 0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:57.759 move Turner back in the lineup a little bit. I 0:37:57.760 --> 0:38:00.200 don't know exactly what they are going to do, but 0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:03.399 Luisa rise just simply looking at the bat is a 0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:08.359 perfect fit inside the Phillies lineup. Now, defensively, that's where 0:38:08.360 --> 0:38:10.799 I'm not sure I even put out you know on 0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:14.080 Twitter that I wouldn't be shocked. I don't think this 0:38:14.120 --> 0:38:16.359 is going to happen, but I think it would be 0:38:16.440 --> 0:38:19.319 at least interesting to try if you actually put Trey 0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:22.320 Turner out there in center field, and you move Bryson 0:38:22.400 --> 0:38:25.680 Stott over to shortstop. Stott is I think would be 0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:29.239 a much better defensive shortstop than Trey Turner has been 0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:32.920 this season with negative fourteen defensive run saved and negative 0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:35.960 eight outs above average. If Turner can't field a position, 0:38:36.120 --> 0:38:38.359 put him out there in center. But I'm texting arm 0:38:38.400 --> 0:38:40.600 about that and You're like, and he's like, so we're 0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:43.400 going to give Trey Turner a crash course on centerfield 0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:46.160 in August. And I'm like, well, yeah, that's probably not 0:38:46.200 --> 0:38:48.480 a good idea. But then I would argue, is it 0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:51.040 a good idea to keep rolling him out there at shortstop? 0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:55.200 So regardless, the Phillies are going to figure out defensive 0:38:55.239 --> 0:38:58.880 positioning and even our friend the Warmongerer, who does great 0:38:58.920 --> 0:39:01.840 work on X make sure that you follow him really 0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:03.439 in depth on the defensive side. 0:39:03.480 --> 0:39:06.400 And oh, he's amazing. He's amazing. He has answered so 0:39:06.560 --> 0:39:08.840 many questions for me. I've had players ask me questions 0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:10.320 about defensive metrics. 0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:12.400 I don't know. I go straight to him and relay 0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:13.640 the message back and. 0:39:13.800 --> 0:39:16.279 He agreed with me. So that was like, wait, I 0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:18.200 did I saw that? And I was like, I gotta 0:39:18.239 --> 0:39:19.239 walk it back a little bit. 0:39:19.400 --> 0:39:22.359 But but but it's it's it is jarring because you're 0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:25.040 telling a short stuff to just go learn center field. 0:39:24.840 --> 0:39:27.319 Who's already struggling to figure out how to get it 0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:28.120 going at the plate. 0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:30.160 And it's like, oh, try to figure it out in 0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:30.920 center too. 0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:33.120 But he's not a rookie though he's tree freaking turner. 0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:35.720 Couldn't you figure it out? But regardless, you're adding Luisa 0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:38.200 rise to bat. That is the most that's the most important. 0:39:38.239 --> 0:39:41.640 The Phillies, they'll figure out defensive positioning. That's the least 0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:43.160 of our worries. We got to hit. 0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:45.320 This lineup. 0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:47.440 Yeah, And does that oh. 0:39:47.280 --> 0:39:49.120 My gosh, the fact that you can just instead of 0:39:49.160 --> 0:39:51.560 the big boppers at the top, that you have just 0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:55.359 another quality at bat to just add there, and and 0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:58.040 the opportunities and the way that he could potentially set 0:39:58.080 --> 0:40:00.200 the table you mentioned obp but for him setting the 0:40:00.239 --> 0:40:03.400 table like you can provide protection in front of some 0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:05.879 of these power guys too, And I think that's gonna 0:40:05.880 --> 0:40:08.080 be a big part of it as well. So I'm 0:40:08.080 --> 0:40:09.960 really interested to see how they set up the lineup 0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:13.120 after that. But it affords a lot of opportunity there 0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:15.319 for Mattingly and for the Phillies, and I think he's 0:40:15.320 --> 0:40:16.520 going to be a great spark. 0:40:16.840 --> 0:40:19.319 You know. I think, like in terms of a new 0:40:19.360 --> 0:40:23.240 school thought, that a Rise doesn't need to hit leadoff here, 0:40:23.360 --> 0:40:25.319 Like a Rise was obviously in the top two of 0:40:25.360 --> 0:40:27.640 the Giant lineup pretty much every single game this year. 0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:30.600 But I'm thinking, if you have Luisa Rise hitting fifth 0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:33.919 in this lineup, that does so much. Because there are 0:40:34.000 --> 0:40:36.040 some decent obp guys at the top, it's been the 0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:38.480 bottom half of the Philly lineup that has tanked their 0:40:38.560 --> 0:40:40.440 numbers to the point where they're twenty ninth in baseball 0:40:40.440 --> 0:40:43.239 and on base Like they were running out a thirty 0:40:43.280 --> 0:40:45.480 four year old, thirty five year old JT Realmuto, who 0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:47.840 is a shell of what JT was a couple of 0:40:47.920 --> 0:40:48.319 years ago. 0:40:48.400 --> 0:40:49.839 They're still going to run him out there though. 0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:51.520 Yeah, no, they're still running him out there, but for 0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:54.919 two more years after this one. Yeah, when JT was hurt, 0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:56.920 I mean, you were looking at Rafael Marshawn, who I 0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:59.520 think so I think his ops started with a two, 0:40:59.760 --> 0:41:02.279 if I'm not mistaken, and then Garrett Stubbs as well, 0:41:02.360 --> 0:41:06.000 so like it was a bad situation. And then Crawford 0:41:06.000 --> 0:41:09.080 has not been that good in center field, at least 0:41:09.080 --> 0:41:12.319 from an offensive production standpoint, and they've had other guys 0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:15.560 that have been very underwhelming, like boem Is ticked up 0:41:15.600 --> 0:41:18.120 over the last month and a half two months. Oh man, 0:41:18.160 --> 0:41:21.000 how about this from Derek Gold. I believe this Saint 0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:24.600 Louis post dispatch. Ali Marmould just walked out to bring 0:41:24.600 --> 0:41:27.279 back Lars Newtbar from batting practice and he's getting hugs 0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:30.279 from coach John Jay and others. So Lars Newbar is 0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:31.759 going to be on the move. We will find out 0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:37.440 very shortly. Yeah, man, I think this Philly lineup construction 0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:40.120 could be very interesting, and I think having a rise 0:41:40.120 --> 0:41:42.520 in a place to drive in runs could also be 0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:45.320 a fascinating wrinkle to this. Before we move on to 0:41:45.360 --> 0:41:48.080 the next trade, I also want a golf clatt Brice Harper, 0:41:48.440 --> 0:41:52.439 because Harper now on several different occasions, has actively made 0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:55.960 a pivot to better the Philadelphia Phillies. He went from 0:41:56.000 --> 0:41:58.560 the corner outfield to first base to help them win 0:41:59.000 --> 0:42:00.960 and to give them more flexibility when his arm is 0:42:00.960 --> 0:42:03.359 not one hundred percent. And now he's saying, you know what, 0:42:03.360 --> 0:42:05.040 we get a shot to get a rise and retool 0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:07.400 our infield shit. Let me grab the outfield glove and 0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:09.400 let me push back into the corner outfield spot. I 0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:12.359 think he's very, very selfless when it comes to things 0:42:12.360 --> 0:42:14.000 like that, one hundred percent. 0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:17.120 But to that point, I'm really interested to see what 0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:18.680 he looks like defensively. What is the first time in 0:42:18.719 --> 0:42:20.440 the outfields in twenty twenty two, didn't even play a 0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:24.239 ton of outfield even in twenty twenty two. That's going 0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:26.759 to be a big I think wrinkling this whole thing 0:42:26.760 --> 0:42:29.040 too in terms of how much better or worse the 0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:32.319 defense will be with this shuffle is how ultimately he 0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:33.320 looks in the outfield. 0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:35.240 But I think we might have just got our braves 0:42:35.360 --> 0:42:36.560 move real quick. 0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:39.040 Do we bring him back to the Juco days, put 0:42:39.080 --> 0:42:40.880 him behind the dish. 0:42:41.160 --> 0:42:43.920 Also the edge, and then on the hill pumping ninety six? 0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:46.120 Oh that'd be sick. Bryce Harper wouldn't even know how 0:42:46.160 --> 0:42:48.200 to squat anymore. But he's still got that arm. All 0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:50.759 I'm saying is, you know, think creatively. That's what I'm 0:42:50.760 --> 0:42:51.160 trying to do. 0:42:51.239 --> 0:42:55.160 Putting trades over in center field Peyton. If we have 0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:58.120 a visual for Lars newt Bar, we can run that. 0:42:58.239 --> 0:42:59.960 If not, we can move on to the next deal. 0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:03.400 Let me know. No, he's saying, I have no idea. 0:43:03.480 --> 0:43:06.360 I think Arm, Could you have gotten duped by the 0:43:06.560 --> 0:43:07.279 comments or no? 0:43:07.680 --> 0:43:09.279 Do they get duped for what? 0:43:10.239 --> 0:43:12.279 All right, let's pivot to the next trade that we 0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:14.080 got to talk about here that went down a couple 0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:17.839 of hours ago. Staying in the National leagueese, but kind 0:43:17.840 --> 0:43:20.239 of going the other way. Liam Hicks is traded from 0:43:20.280 --> 0:43:23.560 the Miami Marlins to the Tampa Bay Rays. Liam Hicks 0:43:23.560 --> 0:43:26.000 who's played a lot of first base in DHS of late, 0:43:26.040 --> 0:43:28.800 but still catching once or twice a week. Braden Taylor, 0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:32.200 former first round pick, along with a couple other guys, 0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:35.600 go back to the Miami Marlins, Jacob Kissing, a right 0:43:35.640 --> 0:43:38.960 handed pitcher, and then Adrian Santana who has had some 0:43:39.080 --> 0:43:43.120 prospect pedigree as an infielder as well. Arm lighton three 0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:46.200 prospects in return for a Rule five pick last year 0:43:46.360 --> 0:43:48.680 will be a breakout mat this year in Liam Hicks. 0:43:48.719 --> 0:43:49.800 What was your take on the return? 0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:54.359 Yeah, well, first, just heck of a process there by 0:43:54.360 --> 0:43:56.879 the Marlins and Bendix to turn a Rule five pick 0:43:56.920 --> 0:43:59.960 into you know what He's given them value wise over 0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:02.680 the last year and a half and then also the return, 0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:04.719 but you no, I did think that Liam Hicks was. 0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:06.560 Worth a little bit more than this return. 0:44:06.680 --> 0:44:08.440 I know some out there really like it, especially if 0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:12.640 you really like defense. This is a very We've seen 0:44:12.680 --> 0:44:13.400 it with Bendix. 0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:16.320 These are like model players. 0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:20.439 And by that I mean defense, some contact skills and 0:44:20.600 --> 0:44:23.759 you know, some speed as the carrying tools, but there 0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:25.279 might be some other flaws in the game, and when 0:44:25.320 --> 0:44:27.080 you watch them, you're not totally sure if that's going 0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:29.480 to completely translate. Britain Taylor is getting his third taste 0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:31.920 of double A. He's breaking out this year in a 0:44:31.960 --> 0:44:33.719 lot of ways and having a great year, but still 0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:36.359 struggling against spin. The evs are a little bit lighter 0:44:36.360 --> 0:44:38.239 than the power numbers would suggest, so that is a 0:44:38.239 --> 0:44:39.400 little bit of a concern with me. 0:44:39.600 --> 0:44:43.359 Santana is just a classic, you know fit for the Marlins. 0:44:43.000 --> 0:44:44.920 Who loves Starling Cobba. They get a guy that I 0:44:44.960 --> 0:44:47.640 think is very similarly coded. Great back to ball switch hitter, 0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:51.240 can run South Florida kid I think will stick it short, 0:44:51.440 --> 0:44:53.520 but I think he has a max air exit velocity 0:44:53.520 --> 0:44:55.359 of one hundred and three miles per hour this year, 0:44:55.920 --> 0:44:59.040 so that's going to need to improve a little bit. 0:44:59.160 --> 0:45:02.759 That's that's you know twenty great Bob. And then uh, 0:45:03.000 --> 0:45:03.920 the third piece is. 0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:04.920 Maybe the most interesting. 0:45:05.040 --> 0:45:07.520 Where you're getting a right hander that oh with the 0:45:07.560 --> 0:45:09.160 t vax and it wou'd be a fun one. You're 0:45:09.160 --> 0:45:12.919 getting a right hander that has broken out this year, 0:45:13.120 --> 0:45:16.120 throws a splitter and a change up and has a 0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:16.680 pretty good. 0:45:16.560 --> 0:45:17.279 Feel to spind it. 0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:19.160 I think the arm that they end up getting might 0:45:19.200 --> 0:45:21.920 be the most interesting in terms of what it may 0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:23.000 look like at the upper levels. 0:45:23.040 --> 0:45:25.560 But let's go. I'm very happy about this movie. 0:45:25.600 --> 0:45:27.520 This is the tough part about this stream is like 0:45:27.760 --> 0:45:29.320 I want to hear raa but that I get the 0:45:29.360 --> 0:45:31.560 alert that Lars new Bars go to Arizona. That I'm 0:45:31.600 --> 0:45:33.560 just like looking at him looking out at my phone 0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:35.680 and there's just so much happening, and this is why 0:45:35.680 --> 0:45:37.759 it's so much fun. But it's hard to get all 0:45:37.800 --> 0:45:40.319 of the thoughts correctly in in a in a good 0:45:40.360 --> 0:45:42.719 you know, segmented way. But we're trying our best here. 0:45:43.280 --> 0:45:45.440 Put put a pin in the newt Bar to Arizona 0:45:45.480 --> 0:45:48.680 thing real real quick, because I do want to tell us, actually, no, 0:45:48.760 --> 0:45:50.920 we got it. Peyton, Good for you man, that's a 0:45:51.000 --> 0:45:55.239 lightning quick turnaround. Per Hoor Hat Castile, Yeah, per horor 0:45:55.320 --> 0:45:58.399 Hate Castell and Alvin Gonzalez. The Diamondbacks are requiring Lars 0:45:58.480 --> 0:46:02.279 Newt Bar from the Saint Louis Cars. Newt Bar is 0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:05.520 a really interesting fit. And Mike Hasen two months ago 0:46:05.840 --> 0:46:09.640 told everybody that he not the team. He wanted a 0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:13.320 lefty hitting corner outfielder or first baseman. And Mike Hasen 0:46:13.440 --> 0:46:17.400 gets his lefty hitting corner outfielder and Lars Newtbar our 0:46:17.560 --> 0:46:19.960 knee jerk reaction. I know you have been following the 0:46:20.040 --> 0:46:23.840 Diamondbacks and their need for maybe offensive help pretty closely. 0:46:23.920 --> 0:46:25.839 They've had a very quiet deadline day. 0:46:26.719 --> 0:46:29.560 Yeah, yeah, and I was getting a little worried that 0:46:29.600 --> 0:46:31.879 something may not line up for them, being that this 0:46:31.960 --> 0:46:32.520 is a. 0:46:32.520 --> 0:46:34.399 Team that I've been pumped about this year. 0:46:34.440 --> 0:46:36.840 I think Peter has put me on the spot a 0:46:36.840 --> 0:46:38.439 couple of times throughout the year and checked in. There's 0:46:38.440 --> 0:46:40.359 been spots around like, yeah, this is still a playoff team, 0:46:40.360 --> 0:46:41.120 and then there's been. 0:46:41.160 --> 0:46:44.360 Other spots that I'm like, ah, it's getting harder to believe. 0:46:44.640 --> 0:46:46.960 And then they've been really really good of late six 0:46:47.040 --> 0:46:49.200 games over five hundred, like they needed to add to 0:46:49.280 --> 0:46:50.880 this team, even with the flaws. 0:46:51.080 --> 0:46:52.400 You got to add to a team like that. 0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:55.279 But their system isn't great and you don't want to 0:46:55.280 --> 0:46:56.839 trade from the couple guys you have at the top. 0:46:57.040 --> 0:46:58.080 How do you pull this off? 0:46:58.239 --> 0:47:00.759 They're able to do it here, and again, not a 0:47:00.800 --> 0:47:02.480 ton of ton of bats to be able to go get. 0:47:02.560 --> 0:47:04.960 I think this is a good fit for them and 0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:07.520 comes with a little bit of control as well. I'm 0:47:07.560 --> 0:47:10.080 interested to see how the profile plays out there. A 0:47:10.280 --> 0:47:12.319 guy that's always had good underlying data, We've always been 0:47:12.320 --> 0:47:14.240 waiting for it to fully fully come to fruition. 0:47:14.800 --> 0:47:16.920 But Arizona's a good place to maybe help that happen. 0:47:17.440 --> 0:47:20.080 They need they needed a left handed bat as bad 0:47:20.080 --> 0:47:22.120 as anybody. Right you look at their left e bats, 0:47:22.160 --> 0:47:25.600 it's Corbyn, Carrol, it's the switch hitters in Perdomo and Marte. 0:47:25.800 --> 0:47:28.000 Marte is better from the right side, and then it's 0:47:28.080 --> 0:47:30.640 Kepler and that's about it. So to be able to 0:47:30.680 --> 0:47:33.759 plug in, you know, a proven, establish consistent left handed 0:47:33.760 --> 0:47:35.879 bat here in the outfield, I think really really helps 0:47:35.880 --> 0:47:36.839 this Dbacks line up. 0:47:38.640 --> 0:47:41.600 I love it. Peter anything on newt Bar going to 0:47:41.640 --> 0:47:44.879 Arizona or should we push onto the Chicago cups I. 0:47:44.800 --> 0:47:47.560 Think are mostly covered it. You know, when we're looking 0:47:47.600 --> 0:47:49.759 for a left handed power bat, we're looking for a 0:47:49.840 --> 0:47:53.880 right handed contact bat. They needed a bat like period. 0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:56.920 Right This is a team that ranks twenty second in ops. 0:47:57.000 --> 0:47:59.520 You look at Homer's, you look at Steels, you look 0:47:59.520 --> 0:48:02.960 at me. Across the board, they're either average or below 0:48:03.000 --> 0:48:05.719 average at so and Lars Newbar has been a really 0:48:05.760 --> 0:48:07.959 solid bat. The problem is he just hasn't been able 0:48:08.000 --> 0:48:10.239 to really stay healthy. But he's healthy now and that's 0:48:10.239 --> 0:48:14.000 what the Diamondbacks are acquiring. So again, any bats are 0:48:14.040 --> 0:48:15.600 good bats for Arizona. 0:48:16.360 --> 0:48:19.919 Okay, we will push to a Cub conversation right now, 0:48:19.960 --> 0:48:22.640 because the Cubs have been very active in terms of 0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:26.439 addressing pitching and it's been an impressive deadline from Jed 0:48:26.480 --> 0:48:29.239 Hoyer and Carter Hawkins. Here we'll start with the deal 0:48:29.320 --> 0:48:31.560 that you guys didn't get to last night because it 0:48:31.600 --> 0:48:35.719 came in late. Kevin Gosman made the move from Toronto 0:48:35.960 --> 0:48:39.640 to Chicago for Brett Bateman and outfielder and Tie South. 0:48:39.640 --> 0:48:42.040 The scene, an infield prospect who is the older brother 0:48:42.320 --> 0:48:44.400 of Tate South. The scene of the Atlanta Braves a 0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:47.680 breakout that arm hit on on the call up late 0:48:47.800 --> 0:48:50.920 last week. But Kevin Gosman is a frontline arm that 0:48:51.200 --> 0:48:56.880 has bonafied playoff performances under his belt. Gosman is such 0:48:57.000 --> 0:48:59.600 a great get for the Cubs. I was fired up 0:48:59.640 --> 0:49:02.480 for Shak when I saw this trade come through, because 0:49:02.480 --> 0:49:06.360 they needed someone like this. There's a lot of unknown Frankly, 0:49:06.480 --> 0:49:08.759 there's a lot of nothing in that Cub rotation right 0:49:08.800 --> 0:49:11.880 now because of the way injuries have just decimated it 0:49:11.920 --> 0:49:14.880 over the course of this season. But they needed someone 0:49:14.960 --> 0:49:19.160 experienced and seasoned and veteran, and someone that it was 0:49:19.200 --> 0:49:21.680 gonna be like not hard to pry away from a team, 0:49:21.719 --> 0:49:24.480 but would make it emotional to pry that guy away 0:49:24.480 --> 0:49:26.359 from that team. And I know Blue Jays fans are 0:49:26.400 --> 0:49:28.799 really upset that Gosman had to go. It was the 0:49:28.800 --> 0:49:31.319 best course of action, obviously, because Gosman is in a 0:49:31.360 --> 0:49:35.480 walk year here. But Kevin Gosman with the Cubs screams 0:49:35.560 --> 0:49:38.759 to me, match made in heaven. Peter, how do you 0:49:38.800 --> 0:49:40.440 see the Gosman fit in Chicago? 0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:43.280 Couldn't agree with you more. I feel like this Cubs 0:49:43.400 --> 0:49:49.000 rotation is an anxiety riddled rotation and Gosman slows the 0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:53.000 heartbeat right. He comes in. He's a professional. He's been there, 0:49:53.120 --> 0:49:54.440 done that, you know. 0:49:54.520 --> 0:49:55.359 I like showed up. 0:49:55.400 --> 0:49:58.160 I like Matthew Boyd. I like a couple of their arms. 0:49:58.200 --> 0:50:02.320 But this is a bit there, done that type of picture. 0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:05.240 And you also feel like Gosman, while he's not having 0:50:05.239 --> 0:50:08.759 the best year, we haven't seen a stark drop off 0:50:08.800 --> 0:50:11.640 and stuff or anything. This is still Kevin Gosman. And 0:50:11.680 --> 0:50:14.439 I've said this about Kevin Gosman before, and I'll say 0:50:14.440 --> 0:50:16.200 it probably for the rest of the season and for 0:50:16.239 --> 0:50:19.040 the rest of his career. Gosman is at his best 0:50:19.080 --> 0:50:22.560 when he's pinpoint with the fastball and the splitter, because 0:50:22.560 --> 0:50:25.080 you could just never guess right. And I've seen him 0:50:25.320 --> 0:50:29.480 dice through elite lineups when he's got it. When he doesn't, 0:50:29.600 --> 0:50:31.680 it doesn't look all that great, and more often than 0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:35.080 not he hasn't had it. But when that focus locks 0:50:35.120 --> 0:50:37.880 in during the playoffs for the Cubs, I wouldn't be 0:50:37.960 --> 0:50:40.640 surprised if he's the best pitcher in this rotation come 0:50:40.680 --> 0:50:44.640 October and it didn't cost them all that much, right arm. 0:50:44.760 --> 0:50:47.800 Yeah, A couple of really glove first bat to ball 0:50:47.840 --> 0:50:50.319 guys also kind of the model fit. 0:50:50.400 --> 0:50:52.280 But yeah, I think higher four pieces. 0:50:52.280 --> 0:50:54.680 But if you're the Cubs, I don't think you're losing 0:50:54.719 --> 0:50:56.799 sleep over that, especially with some of the top end 0:50:56.840 --> 0:50:59.120 position player of prospects that you got it that you 0:50:59.160 --> 0:51:01.080 also use to make other additions here. 0:51:01.280 --> 0:51:01.759 I love it. 0:51:01.800 --> 0:51:04.880 I think the ceiling aspect when he's locked in, I agree, Pete, 0:51:04.960 --> 0:51:06.719 and then just just a guy that has been there, 0:51:06.760 --> 0:51:08.040 I think is absolutely huge. 0:51:08.239 --> 0:51:09.640 I also wanted to tie a bow because we. 0:51:09.640 --> 0:51:12.680 Had something to come in on the Liam Hicks Ray's 0:51:13.000 --> 0:51:15.520 side of the deal before we had the excitement. 0:51:17.120 --> 0:51:20.160 I love the fit for a couple of different reasons. 0:51:20.440 --> 0:51:22.360 But the Rays have always kind of punted the catching 0:51:22.360 --> 0:51:24.960 position right, and we've talked about that. But Nick Fart 0:51:24.960 --> 0:51:26.480 says that a really nice series is a good defender, 0:51:26.560 --> 0:51:28.120 but that's a guy that you kind of like more 0:51:28.160 --> 0:51:30.240 in a part time role behind the dish. So Hicks 0:51:30.280 --> 0:51:32.560 is able to give you, you know, an upgrade there. 0:51:32.880 --> 0:51:35.080 But the Rays are the only team in Major League 0:51:35.120 --> 0:51:38.680 Baseball with a contact rate above above eighty percent. You 0:51:38.760 --> 0:51:41.240 add now Liam Hicks there, who's fourth in the league 0:51:41.280 --> 0:51:44.080 in contact rate at ninety percent, and so you're already 0:51:44.120 --> 0:51:45.960 taking the number one strength they have and making it 0:51:46.000 --> 0:51:49.040 even stronger, they have the lowest strikeout rate in the 0:51:49.120 --> 0:51:51.840 league at nineteen point two percent, and you add a 0:51:51.880 --> 0:51:54.080 guy with a strikeout rate of nine and a half percent. 0:51:54.239 --> 0:51:56.000 So the Rays, already being the best bat to ball 0:51:56.040 --> 0:51:59.760 team are even more bat to BALI and you still 0:51:59.800 --> 0:52:01.560 have guys that can hit the ball hard, right and 0:52:01.640 --> 0:52:06.799 camin arow and and Ronda and of course Das Yeah. 0:52:06.960 --> 0:52:11.040 Podcast P dropped this nugget on the Hicks video breakdown. 0:52:11.400 --> 0:52:14.919 Liam Hicks swung and missed twelve pitches inside the strike 0:52:15.000 --> 0:52:17.600 zone for the Marlins this year. He hit fourteen home runs, 0:52:17.920 --> 0:52:20.480 so he had fewer swings and misses on pitches in 0:52:20.520 --> 0:52:23.200 the zone than he did home runs hit this season. 0:52:24.200 --> 0:52:28.800 That that's that blows my mind. What do say it again? 0:52:29.320 --> 0:52:33.040 Twelve in zone wis fourteen home runs? Like you already 0:52:33.080 --> 0:52:34.839 said it once, but I don't even think you put 0:52:34.880 --> 0:52:36.799 it in enough perspective. You got to say it again. 0:52:37.840 --> 0:52:41.840 Liam Hicks swung and missed within the strike zone twelve 0:52:41.920 --> 0:52:44.799 times as a Marlin this year. He hit fourteen home 0:52:44.880 --> 0:52:48.640 runs as a Marlin this year, Liam Hicks, I will 0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:51.160 tell you I will personally miss Liam Hicks. The guy 0:52:51.360 --> 0:52:54.239 like Hicks is a really good dude. Excited to see 0:52:54.280 --> 0:52:57.719 him thrive in Tampa, but of course excited about the 0:52:57.760 --> 0:53:01.480 prospect return coming back to Miami. I do want to 0:53:01.560 --> 0:53:04.080 keep on going with the Cubs here because Gosman wasn't 0:53:04.120 --> 0:53:07.360 the only move. There were two other moves here for pitching, 0:53:07.760 --> 0:53:10.279 and I want to kind of sandwich the Garrett one 0:53:10.719 --> 0:53:13.040 with Gosman on the front end and Holmes on the 0:53:13.040 --> 0:53:15.799 back end, because Braxton Garrett makes the move from the 0:53:15.840 --> 0:53:20.200 Marlins to the Cubs, and the return was Jonathan Long, 0:53:20.239 --> 0:53:23.040 a first baseman that has seemingly been blocked for a 0:53:23.040 --> 0:53:26.080 little bit. Jonathan Long and right hander Ja s Beck, 0:53:26.400 --> 0:53:30.080 they go back in return. Garrett's an interesting gamble because 0:53:30.120 --> 0:53:32.359 this is a command guy that is working his way 0:53:32.400 --> 0:53:35.800 back from Tommy John surgery, but he has been carving 0:53:35.960 --> 0:53:38.600 through triple A arm Layton, You've watched a lot of 0:53:38.640 --> 0:53:41.160 Braxton Garrett, and I know you've seen a decent bit 0:53:41.200 --> 0:53:43.640 of him this year as well. What do you make 0:53:43.680 --> 0:53:46.920 of Garrett and where he's at off of major elbow surgery. 0:53:47.440 --> 0:53:49.319 Yeah, you know, I think you saw the Classics shake 0:53:49.400 --> 0:53:52.160 the rust off off of TJ. And when you're a 0:53:52.200 --> 0:53:55.040 pitch ability guy that really needs to execute. I think 0:53:55.120 --> 0:53:57.640 coming back off of TJ can be even tougher, and 0:53:57.680 --> 0:53:59.080 I think the Marlins kind of knew that and that's 0:53:59.120 --> 0:54:00.759 why they were, you know, him to take his time 0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:03.080 in Triple A. But I think you saw in Triple 0:54:03.120 --> 0:54:05.239 A he really did settle in and and have some 0:54:05.280 --> 0:54:09.120 positive stretches, but then you saw some blips where. 0:54:08.920 --> 0:54:11.800 The command wasn't there. I think it's a perfect swap. 0:54:12.160 --> 0:54:14.320 Cubs have a ton of bats at the upper miners, 0:54:14.320 --> 0:54:17.120 forty man guys potentially as well. Marlin's get a right 0:54:17.160 --> 0:54:18.960 handed bat that can help him on the big league level. 0:54:19.360 --> 0:54:21.480 But the Cubs get some solid pitching depth, and the 0:54:21.520 --> 0:54:23.360 guy with control that at worse is going to be 0:54:23.400 --> 0:54:24.560 a solid ending Zeter for you. 0:54:24.640 --> 0:54:28.040 I think, Wow, a couple things just came through from 0:54:28.120 --> 0:54:31.680 Jeff Passing of ESPN. The Cleveland Guardians are acquiring Nathaniel 0:54:31.719 --> 0:54:33.680 Lowe in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds. That's a 0:54:33.680 --> 0:54:36.640 really interesting fit, and they get an upgrade at first base. 0:54:36.719 --> 0:54:40.800 DH seemingly Reee Hoskins. It's just not cutting it anymore, 0:54:40.840 --> 0:54:44.640 so low effectively replaces Hoskins in that lineup. The other 0:54:44.680 --> 0:54:47.400 one that just came through the Marlins according to pass 0:54:47.400 --> 0:54:50.720 and acquiring Victor Vodnik from the Rockies for Connor Norby 0:54:50.840 --> 0:54:54.000 and right handed really or right handed prospect Aiden may 0:54:54.160 --> 0:54:57.160 So Norby and may go from the Marlins to the 0:54:57.280 --> 0:55:00.520 Rockies in exchange for Victor Vodnik, who has had an underwoman. 0:55:00.520 --> 0:55:03.719 You're eerra wise, but the stuff is incredibly loud, so 0:55:04.320 --> 0:55:08.600 pretty cool, and podcast P unbelievable turnaround time on those 0:55:08.640 --> 0:55:12.520 because those just came through forty five seconds ago. This 0:55:12.560 --> 0:55:15.319 guy's a freaking machine. I know he probably doesn't have 0:55:15.400 --> 0:55:17.399 time to pop in and make this a four man 0:55:17.400 --> 0:55:19.520 thing right now, but if you do, can we give 0:55:19.560 --> 0:55:20.920 you a round of applause to your face. 0:55:21.360 --> 0:55:24.759 No, he's not gone anywhere, you know when uh, you 0:55:24.800 --> 0:55:27.799 know in the social network where they got Mark Uh. 0:55:27.920 --> 0:55:29.839 He's plugging his mic and he's getting ready to go. 0:55:30.360 --> 0:55:32.560 Where you got Mark Zuckerberg like in the corner is like, 0:55:32.560 --> 0:55:34.680 oh no, he's plugged in. He's plugged in right now, Like, 0:55:34.719 --> 0:55:37.040 don't bother him. That's what podcast P is right now. 0:55:37.760 --> 0:55:41.160 Yeah, exactly, so podcast p's working on that at the moment. 0:55:41.239 --> 0:55:44.960 The last cubs one that we want to talk about here. Actually, no, 0:55:45.000 --> 0:55:47.439 Peyton's popping in right now, so let's give him again 0:55:47.560 --> 0:55:50.080 a round of applause to his face and then he'll 0:55:50.160 --> 0:55:54.240 keep on cooking here. So Peyton, good job, dude. 0:55:55.080 --> 0:55:56.000 I'll accept the glades. 0:55:56.080 --> 0:55:59.359 Dude, is is this the most over stimulated you've been 0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:01.360 in like the last forty eight hours? 0:56:02.040 --> 0:56:05.480 I'd say the draft stream this year it's a camera 0:56:05.560 --> 0:56:10.319 kept cutting out. But yeah, I was cortisoled that time 0:56:10.360 --> 0:56:12.839 that day, but this one, you know, I'm more having 0:56:12.840 --> 0:56:13.520 fun this time. 0:56:14.239 --> 0:56:14.560 Cool. 0:56:15.280 --> 0:56:18.000 It is fun and it is like a whip around 0:56:18.000 --> 0:56:21.600 in every single sense of the word here, all right, 0:56:21.640 --> 0:56:23.960 So we just had those two come in. I do 0:56:24.040 --> 0:56:26.680 want to circle back again to the Cubs because we 0:56:26.760 --> 0:56:29.400 hit on Kevin Gosman, we hit on Braxton Garrett, and 0:56:29.440 --> 0:56:31.520 now I want to hit on two guys coming over 0:56:31.920 --> 0:56:34.840 the market for right handed bats was it seemed like 0:56:34.880 --> 0:56:37.040 buyers were clamoring for them, and the Cubs get a 0:56:37.080 --> 0:56:39.200 good one, and they also get a good starter who's 0:56:39.239 --> 0:56:41.840 working his way back on a rehab assignment. Clay Holmes 0:56:41.840 --> 0:56:45.839 started for Hia Brooklyn on rehab, working his way back 0:56:45.840 --> 0:56:49.200 from that leg fracture. So Holmes he started on Sunday, 0:56:49.239 --> 0:56:51.760 he gets traded from the Mets to the Chicago Cubs 0:56:51.840 --> 0:56:55.600 along with Tyrone Taylor. It's a two big leaguer for 0:56:55.760 --> 0:56:59.720 one prospect deal. Holmes and Tyrone Taylor from the Mets 0:56:59.719 --> 0:57:03.120 to the Cubs for an infield prospect Jefferson Rojas, who 0:57:03.239 --> 0:57:06.759 arm you were very very high on, then you were 0:57:07.200 --> 0:57:09.520 high on, and then you were like very high on, 0:57:09.600 --> 0:57:10.920 and now are you back to high on? 0:57:11.600 --> 0:57:14.080 Yeah. I think that's a very accurate to fiction. 0:57:14.160 --> 0:57:16.840 He's been a difficult player to assess in the regard 0:57:16.880 --> 0:57:20.080 of like how much I like him, But I've always 0:57:20.080 --> 0:57:21.760 liked him, and I still think he's a really good player. 0:57:21.880 --> 0:57:23.160 The question has been defensively. 0:57:23.240 --> 0:57:24.800 I think in the early going I said, okay, he's 0:57:24.840 --> 0:57:26.680 always been the youngest player or one of the youngest players, 0:57:26.680 --> 0:57:28.880 that he'd stop. Rojas like, uh, maybe the glove will 0:57:28.920 --> 0:57:30.480 come along. I think now you look at it and 0:57:30.600 --> 0:57:32.760 he's more likely a second or third basement But the 0:57:32.840 --> 0:57:35.840 bat is freaking awesome, So to get him, I think 0:57:35.880 --> 0:57:39.200 again another instance where the Mets had the package two players, 0:57:39.320 --> 0:57:41.160 but Rojas is probably the best player that they got 0:57:41.160 --> 0:57:43.479 at this deadline. Unless I'm forgetting somebody off the top 0:57:43.640 --> 0:57:46.680 borderline top one hundred prospects, good blend of hit and power, 0:57:46.760 --> 0:57:49.080 can run a little bit, and I think Rojas is 0:57:49.120 --> 0:57:51.959 going to be, you know, an above average infield bat 0:57:52.000 --> 0:57:54.200 for you, I think second base. But the fact that 0:57:54.200 --> 0:57:56.000 they can be versat will move over to third. Thought 0:57:56.000 --> 0:57:57.600 that was a good get for the match, which I 0:57:57.640 --> 0:57:59.360 didn't love their returns. I thought that was one of 0:57:59.400 --> 0:58:01.320 their better returns. But to get two pieces on the 0:58:01.320 --> 0:58:03.680 big league side, you know, for for the Cubs, like 0:58:03.720 --> 0:58:06.080 I think ultimately that that made it worth it. 0:58:06.200 --> 0:58:09.240 Hard to fathom. We just talked through the deadline, so 0:58:09.640 --> 0:58:14.440 you've got the deadline concluding a minute ago. A couple 0:58:14.520 --> 0:58:18.280 more are coming in here, and the Pirates are stocking up. 0:58:18.600 --> 0:58:21.400 Kirby Yates goes from the Angels to the Pirates. The 0:58:21.480 --> 0:58:24.240 other one just reported was Lake Baker goes from the 0:58:24.240 --> 0:58:27.800 Marlins to the Pirates. So the Pirates they add Camilo Dovall, 0:58:28.320 --> 0:58:31.960 Luke Weaver, Kirby Yates, and they add Lake Baker. 0:58:32.000 --> 0:58:32.280 Here. 0:58:32.680 --> 0:58:35.400 Another one coming in at the last moment is Preller 0:58:35.560 --> 0:58:39.200 finally gets active. The Padres going to acquire Casey Mize 0:58:39.600 --> 0:58:41.720 from the Detroit Tigers. So Ma is one of the 0:58:41.720 --> 0:58:44.960 top rental arms that was left maz goes from the 0:58:45.000 --> 0:58:48.000 Tigers to the San Diego Padres. But again, the Pirates 0:58:48.040 --> 0:58:50.520 are bulking up on their relief arms. 0:58:50.560 --> 0:58:50.760 Here. 0:58:51.280 --> 0:58:55.320 You've got Luke Weaver, You've got Camillo Dovall, You've got 0:58:55.400 --> 0:58:58.160 Lake Baker, and you've got Kirby Yates. Here. The Pirates 0:58:58.160 --> 0:59:01.960 had one glaring deficiency, folks, they could not get outs 0:59:02.000 --> 0:59:04.520 after the sixth inning, and now it seems like they're 0:59:04.560 --> 0:59:07.960 built to get outs after the sixth inning. Absolutely fascinating 0:59:07.960 --> 0:59:13.360 what Cherrington did. And Charrington, those are four solid relievers, Peter, 0:59:13.480 --> 0:59:17.120 I know you probably despise Doval for what he did 0:59:17.200 --> 0:59:19.280 over the last calendar year with the New York Yankees. 0:59:20.040 --> 0:59:22.400 There's a lot of talent in there, and you add 0:59:22.440 --> 0:59:25.920 those four guys to Gregor Risoto and to other guys 0:59:25.920 --> 0:59:28.520 that throw hard in that Pirate bullpen, all of a sudden, 0:59:28.520 --> 0:59:29.720 they're looking a heck of a lot better. 0:59:30.600 --> 0:59:33.040 Yeah, just on the deval side. Like we talked about 0:59:33.080 --> 0:59:36.080 it yesterday, I think it was arm and eye and 0:59:36.160 --> 0:59:38.760 it was kind of like I was surprised that the 0:59:38.840 --> 0:59:41.959 Yankees got warm bodies for Camelo Dovall. But I also 0:59:42.000 --> 0:59:44.560 said at the same time, sometimes guys just don't work 0:59:44.560 --> 0:59:47.800 in New York. Still clearly talented. Now it doesn't help 0:59:47.840 --> 0:59:50.360 that in his first appearance for the Pittsburgh Pirates to 0:59:50.400 --> 0:59:52.280 give up a home run, but that you know, it's 0:59:52.320 --> 0:59:56.120 just happenstance, Like, I still think he has talent. He 0:59:56.280 --> 0:59:59.320 still throws gas, he still keeps the ball on the ground, 0:59:59.400 --> 1:00:02.400 and he does not do a good job of holding runners. 1:00:02.400 --> 1:00:04.840 So Nie Rodriguez back there, you're going to have your 1:00:04.840 --> 1:00:07.640 work cut out for you. But at the same time, 1:00:08.080 --> 1:00:11.840 they didn't only get Camillo Daval, right, I think you 1:00:11.880 --> 1:00:14.360 could make an argument that Camillo daval is the worst 1:00:14.400 --> 1:00:17.360 reliever that they got. They got arguably the best reliever 1:00:17.520 --> 1:00:20.200 traded at this deadline in Luke Weaver. That is a 1:00:20.240 --> 1:00:22.840 big get for the Pirates in GM Ben Charrington. And 1:00:22.880 --> 1:00:24.840 then you can continue to go down the line like 1:00:24.920 --> 1:00:27.240 Lake Baker. You guys would know more about him than 1:00:27.240 --> 1:00:29.480 I do. But from what I've watched, he looks like 1:00:29.480 --> 1:00:31.760 a pretty good reliever. Like he's not bad, he's not great, 1:00:31.800 --> 1:00:34.360 but he's a nice fill in for this Pirate's bullpen 1:00:34.600 --> 1:00:37.560 that just needs guys who can throw. And then Kirbyates 1:00:37.680 --> 1:00:42.000 has closing experience, and it hasn't been an entirely healthy season, 1:00:42.280 --> 1:00:44.640 but when Kirbyates has been on the mound, he's been 1:00:44.680 --> 1:00:47.560 really solid as well. All the Pirates are doing here 1:00:47.840 --> 1:00:50.880 is just raising the floor. And it's sometimes easy for 1:00:51.000 --> 1:00:54.240 a GM to address needs when they're so apparent, and 1:00:54.280 --> 1:00:58.000 the Pirates clearly needed to address the bullpen. So what 1:00:58.040 --> 1:01:01.280 does Ben Charrington do? Not one, not two, not three, 1:01:01.400 --> 1:01:05.000 not four? Actually yes, four four relievers. It feels like 1:01:05.120 --> 1:01:07.720 the Lebron James press conference with the heat where he 1:01:07.760 --> 1:01:10.600 goes not one two. But they got a bunch of relievers, 1:01:10.720 --> 1:01:12.760 and good for them. I'm rooting for them, and I 1:01:12.760 --> 1:01:14.000 think these are four good guts. 1:01:15.080 --> 1:01:16.200 What do you think arm. 1:01:17.320 --> 1:01:18.880 I mean, I think that's the best way for them 1:01:18.920 --> 1:01:21.240 to do it. I don't even think one big relief 1:01:21.240 --> 1:01:22.920 farm was gonna fix it for them. 1:01:23.120 --> 1:01:24.320 Might as well volume shoot. 1:01:24.480 --> 1:01:27.560 And I like about Bakers like he's really versatile and 1:01:28.040 --> 1:01:29.760 it's a guy that can go multi inning for you. 1:01:30.040 --> 1:01:31.880 He's been able to throw a little bit at leverage. 1:01:32.160 --> 1:01:33.680 I think several of these guys can kind of be 1:01:33.720 --> 1:01:35.360 in different roles and you can ride the hot hand 1:01:35.400 --> 1:01:37.680 for who you trust to close games. Out, which is 1:01:37.680 --> 1:01:39.440 probably always gonna be the best way for the pirates. 1:01:39.480 --> 1:01:41.800 So I love that they had an obvious issue and 1:01:41.920 --> 1:01:45.000 they addressed it with volume. And I can guarantee that 1:01:45.000 --> 1:01:46.800 their bullpen's going to be better than it was before. 1:01:46.840 --> 1:01:48.160 And that's all you can really ask. 1:01:48.040 --> 1:01:51.440 For, no doubt about that. We can go a whole 1:01:51.480 --> 1:01:54.400 bunch of different ways here because the trade deadline again, 1:01:54.560 --> 1:01:59.360 it officially concluded at six o'clock Eastern time at six 1:01:59.440 --> 1:02:01.840 oh five right now, but we still have things that 1:02:01.880 --> 1:02:06.280 are being reported at the very very at this very moment, Peter, 1:02:06.360 --> 1:02:07.200 hand up what you got. 1:02:07.760 --> 1:02:09.600 I just really want to talk about the Casey Mice 1:02:09.680 --> 1:02:11.600 deal that just came through, because we just we have 1:02:11.640 --> 1:02:14.480 a return. Yet we just got the return. Tigers get 1:02:14.520 --> 1:02:19.040 Cash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf. And I know Cash Mayfield 1:02:19.080 --> 1:02:20.680 is a big time prospect and at the end of 1:02:20.720 --> 1:02:23.720 the day, Casey Mice is a rental. So I wanted 1:02:23.720 --> 1:02:25.720 to throw it over to you or ar them to 1:02:25.800 --> 1:02:28.760 kind of break down that return because it feels steep 1:02:28.800 --> 1:02:31.080 to me. But at the same time, Casey mis has 1:02:31.080 --> 1:02:33.960 been a freaking dog this year, so I understand it 1:02:33.960 --> 1:02:37.960 from that sense. But and they also got gauge workmen 1:02:37.960 --> 1:02:40.800 in the deal too, so it wasn't solely Casey Mice, 1:02:41.320 --> 1:02:45.200 but for the Tigers to get a prospect of cash 1:02:45.240 --> 1:02:47.840 Mayfield's pedigree, I feel like that's really solid, is it not? 1:02:48.360 --> 1:02:49.360 Yeah, not bad at all. 1:02:49.400 --> 1:02:51.200 I think this was one of those where you aren't 1:02:51.200 --> 1:02:53.640 going to have the volume maybe to match with like 1:02:53.680 --> 1:02:55.680 a couple of second tier type of prospects. You had 1:02:55.680 --> 1:02:59.120 to give up, you know, really one higher tier prospect. 1:02:59.120 --> 1:03:02.080 But I think Mayfield a guy that you look at 1:03:02.120 --> 1:03:04.000 the ceiling. I know he's the first round you know, 1:03:04.200 --> 1:03:06.400 had agree with him, but and he's six four to 1:03:06.440 --> 1:03:08.480 two hundred, you'd expect a little bit more in there, 1:03:08.520 --> 1:03:10.280 but he dealt with a little bit of a shoulder 1:03:10.320 --> 1:03:13.680 stuff last year. The vos back up a tad more, 1:03:13.720 --> 1:03:16.440 but he's still just averaging about ninety two. There's deception 1:03:16.520 --> 1:03:18.640 in there, and he can he can extend decently well. 1:03:18.720 --> 1:03:21.320 So I think he's able to outperform what you would 1:03:21.360 --> 1:03:24.200 maybe see on the surface with Mayfield in terms of 1:03:24.240 --> 1:03:27.120 the velocity. It's a it's a good change up and 1:03:27.160 --> 1:03:28.480 that's what stands out for me as well. It's a 1:03:28.480 --> 1:03:30.960 low release fastball, kind of carries a bit, but it's 1:03:30.960 --> 1:03:33.360 still most likely at back end of the rotation outlook, 1:03:33.800 --> 1:03:36.000 and so I think in that regard, Padre is knowing 1:03:36.000 --> 1:03:38.160 that they're not giving up a super super high ceiling, 1:03:38.360 --> 1:03:41.080 and Miz helps them a ton. Obviously this year it 1:03:41.120 --> 1:03:44.760 could be their best pitcher now very well, like if 1:03:44.760 --> 1:03:46.560 he's hot, could be the guy that you trust as 1:03:46.600 --> 1:03:49.200 much as anybody in that rotation. I think it's worth it, 1:03:49.360 --> 1:03:50.960 and I think this is one of those where it's 1:03:51.000 --> 1:03:52.280 a good get for the Tigers. 1:03:52.280 --> 1:03:54.080 It is probably the best individual player they could have got. 1:03:54.080 --> 1:03:56.520 Maybe they could have got more value with two other guys, 1:03:56.680 --> 1:03:58.520 but you add in a left handed pitcher here, that's 1:03:58.520 --> 1:04:00.680 a high probability, back end of the road guy. And 1:04:01.720 --> 1:04:04.640 I think for the Padres it's it's still worth it though, 1:04:05.040 --> 1:04:07.360 to be able to add mys and really go for it. 1:04:08.200 --> 1:04:11.320 I love it again. The MLB Trade Deadline live stream 1:04:11.360 --> 1:04:13.439 from US It Just Baseball is presented by goat Lab, 1:04:13.840 --> 1:04:17.560 goat dash Lab, Dot app Slash Just Baseball. Try and 1:04:17.600 --> 1:04:19.880 build a player that's better than Peters. He made an 1:04:19.880 --> 1:04:22.760 eighty six overall player, a couple of All Star games, 1:04:22.800 --> 1:04:26.000 no Hall of Fame arm and my player I think 1:04:26.080 --> 1:04:28.360 made seven hundred and fifty million dollars over the course 1:04:28.400 --> 1:04:31.000 of their career. Hall of Famer career three to eleven 1:04:31.080 --> 1:04:33.320 hitter with a nine to forty ozho ps and we 1:04:33.480 --> 1:04:35.520 racked it up. So you can try to beat us 1:04:35.680 --> 1:04:39.280 highly unlikely. You can try to beat Peter highly highly likely. 1:04:39.800 --> 1:04:42.720 We've got so yeah, sorry, real quick, you can scan 1:04:42.840 --> 1:04:45.560 the QR code that you see on the screen instead 1:04:45.600 --> 1:04:47.919 of just clicking that link or going to the app, 1:04:48.000 --> 1:04:50.120 like that's real easy there on the screen. 1:04:49.920 --> 1:04:51.720 And we're giving away prizes, and. 1:04:51.640 --> 1:04:54.200 We're giving away prizes.

It's a great game, So make sure to 1:05:04.680 --> 1:05:06.000 download using the QR code. 1:05:06.520 --> 1:05:08.520 I dig it all right. We can start to play 1:05:08.560 --> 1:05:10.400 catch up with some of these and Peyton, let me 1:05:10.400 --> 1:05:12.520 know if you have Foster Griffin and that return ready, 1:05:12.560 --> 1:05:14.720 because I find that one fascinating. But we are going 1:05:14.800 --> 1:05:18.640 to go right to the Taylor Ward deal because Seattle 1:05:18.720 --> 1:05:21.520 they started to get a little involved here. We saw 1:05:21.720 --> 1:05:24.680 late rumblings that Randy a Rose Arena could be open 1:05:24.760 --> 1:05:28.560 for business in terms of being acquired, but they hold 1:05:28.600 --> 1:05:31.840 onto Randy a Rose Arena. By reporting, it seems like 1:05:31.960 --> 1:05:35.400 Kirby and Hancock stay put. And they also add a 1:05:35.520 --> 1:05:38.120 righty bat, Taylor Ward, who's top five in Major League 1:05:38.120 --> 1:05:40.920 Baseball and on base percentage. They get Taylor Ward from 1:05:40.960 --> 1:05:44.280 Baltimore for three prospects. They are three right handed pitching prospects, 1:05:44.520 --> 1:05:49.560 Alex Hoppy, Harrison Criyling, and brock More. Hoppy is probably 1:05:49.600 --> 1:05:52.680 the biggest name of these three, are them? What say you? 1:05:53.320 --> 1:05:55.479 Yeah, I would say so, just because he's like close 1:05:55.520 --> 1:05:57.200 to big league. I mean, he's big league. 1:05:57.240 --> 1:05:59.560 Rady has some experience, could jump in the bullpen if 1:05:59.560 --> 1:06:01.160 you could approve the command a little bit. But the 1:06:01.640 --> 1:06:04.200 walk rate's been a bit higher with cry Ling, Like 1:06:04.840 --> 1:06:07.040 the stuff is good, but this is a twenty four 1:06:07.120 --> 1:06:10.720 year old at you know, low A. It was a 1:06:10.840 --> 1:06:14.320 lighter return than I thought it would be, to be honest, 1:06:14.920 --> 1:06:16.680 and I know that it's a rental bath, and I 1:06:16.720 --> 1:06:18.000 think a lot of people are probably just a little 1:06:18.040 --> 1:06:20.480 bit worried that how Taylor Ward's has been more passive 1:06:20.720 --> 1:06:25.200 than anything and not slugging, but also just stuffy guys 1:06:25.200 --> 1:06:27.480 that are older I mean brock More as well, like 1:06:27.800 --> 1:06:30.680 super high strikeout rate this year between high A and 1:06:30.720 --> 1:06:33.640 double A, but has also battled some walk issues and 1:06:33.760 --> 1:06:35.360 is twenty six years old. 1:06:35.520 --> 1:06:37.400 But what we've seen with the Mariners is. 1:06:37.560 --> 1:06:41.000 They draft these kind of like like senior signs or 1:06:41.040 --> 1:06:43.960 grad students in the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth round, don't 1:06:43.960 --> 1:06:46.920 give them huge bonuses and they end up just developing 1:06:46.920 --> 1:06:49.880 into decent pieces. So good on the on the Mariners 1:06:49.880 --> 1:06:51.920 to be able to like kind of maximize these guys 1:06:51.920 --> 1:06:54.120 and turn it into a solid bat to help them. 1:06:54.160 --> 1:06:55.880 But I think each of them have a chance to 1:06:55.880 --> 1:06:57.920 develop in a decent bullpen pieces. But I thought it 1:06:57.960 --> 1:07:01.080 was a light get honestly over for Taylor Ward. 1:07:01.880 --> 1:07:02.960 Ward had so much. 1:07:02.800 --> 1:07:07.560 To this offense Peter a Ton And it's kind of 1:07:07.600 --> 1:07:09.760 the same conversation that we've had with a few teams 1:07:09.920 --> 1:07:13.400 where just bring any good bat into the fold. But 1:07:13.480 --> 1:07:16.920 I especially like to fit here for Taylor Ward because 1:07:17.200 --> 1:07:19.600 he's seen a little bit of a power outage, and 1:07:19.640 --> 1:07:21.280 when I mean a little bit, I kind of mean 1:07:21.320 --> 1:07:25.240 a lot. Thirty six jacks last year, only seven this season. 1:07:25.640 --> 1:07:27.680 But at the same time, he's rocking the highest on 1:07:27.760 --> 1:07:31.720 base percentage of his career at three point eighty three. 1:07:32.160 --> 1:07:36.360 And what do the Mariners not lack homers their fourteenth 1:07:36.400 --> 1:07:39.560 and homers, it's not bad. They certainly lack guys who 1:07:39.600 --> 1:07:42.080 can get on base. They ring twenty fifth in OBP, 1:07:42.680 --> 1:07:47.200 twenty seventh in ops. Taylor Ward is going to provide 1:07:47.240 --> 1:07:50.840 what the Mariners need. Guys who can get on base. 1:07:50.880 --> 1:07:53.920 They got a couple big swingers. Just get on first 1:07:53.920 --> 1:07:56.120 base and we'll deal with it from there. You can 1:07:56.120 --> 1:07:58.320 play defense in right field as well, which has been 1:07:58.400 --> 1:08:01.440 kind of a tough area for the Mariners this season. 1:08:01.560 --> 1:08:05.680 Right They've kind of they've had Dominic Canzone, who, for 1:08:05.760 --> 1:08:07.440 lack of a better term, kind of has a noodlelarm 1:08:07.440 --> 1:08:10.080 out there on right field, definitely doesn't have the strongest arm. 1:08:10.080 --> 1:08:12.400 They've also had Luke Rayley out there on right field. 1:08:12.640 --> 1:08:15.320 They've kind of tried a different cast of characters. Now 1:08:15.360 --> 1:08:17.840 you just get Taylor Ward. He's gonna play right field, 1:08:17.960 --> 1:08:20.000 He's gonna get on base at a three eighty clip, 1:08:20.160 --> 1:08:22.400 and you hope that he can hit more home runs. 1:08:22.479 --> 1:08:25.479 And just like Arms said, didn't cost very much. This 1:08:25.600 --> 1:08:27.040 is a great trade for Seattle. 1:08:27.960 --> 1:08:30.320 Okay, I want to take us over to Milwaukee, who 1:08:30.360 --> 1:08:33.120 bolsters up and they could have added a back end 1:08:33.160 --> 1:08:38.400 starter and another high leverage reliever. Dustin May and Jojo Romero. 1:08:38.560 --> 1:08:41.800 They make their way within the within the division, from 1:08:42.640 --> 1:08:46.920 Saint Louis to Milwaukee. So May and Jojo Romero go 1:08:47.000 --> 1:08:49.200 from the Cardinals to the Brewers for a couple of 1:08:49.200 --> 1:08:53.479 outfield prospects, Alexander Frias and Carson Ragsdale. Those of the 1:08:53.560 --> 1:08:56.559 two that go back. What you got. 1:08:56.760 --> 1:09:00.360 It's a graphic mistake, but it should be Josiah rag Sale. 1:09:00.400 --> 1:09:06.800 I believe Josiah Ragsdale, Yes, Josiah. I saw Carson Ragsdale 1:09:06.840 --> 1:09:08.519 earlier on Twitter. 1:09:08.600 --> 1:09:10.760 Let's see that might have been a Marsian. Ragsdale is 1:09:10.760 --> 1:09:16.679 the pitcher, Yeah, Josi's the outfielder. And uh, I assume 1:09:16.680 --> 1:09:18.559 we've seen a couple of names botched. I saw somebody 1:09:18.600 --> 1:09:20.800 do Griffin Foster. I think that might have been a 1:09:20.840 --> 1:09:22.679 prominent reporter mentioned Griffin. 1:09:22.960 --> 1:09:24.720 There you go, but there you go. 1:09:25.000 --> 1:09:28.280 This is my favorite trade because really what I like 1:09:28.560 --> 1:09:30.200 I like to see the Brewers going for it, and 1:09:30.240 --> 1:09:33.719 these are two guys that can absolutely help them. Heim 1:09:33.840 --> 1:09:38.400 Bloom maximize this return. I think this was a a 1:09:38.439 --> 1:09:42.520 really really good return for what they gave up. Brius 1:09:42.640 --> 1:09:44.479 is a borderline, I think, top one hundred type of 1:09:44.479 --> 1:09:46.320 candidate with what he's doing. If he could settle into 1:09:46.360 --> 1:09:48.040 low way a little bit more guy who like four 1:09:48.240 --> 1:09:51.880 forty the complex. He's long and lanky, but a good 1:09:51.920 --> 1:09:55.519 athlete already plus bat speed has flashed, you know, exciting 1:09:55.520 --> 1:09:59.599 eggs and velocities and again just tore through the complex league. 1:09:59.640 --> 1:10:02.880 And then Zia Ragsdale has just been a classic example 1:10:03.320 --> 1:10:06.919 of what the Brewers do. They get a good athlete, 1:10:07.000 --> 1:10:09.920 interesting player, they let him debut kind of see how 1:10:10.000 --> 1:10:13.960 he does. And Ragsdale just was was good, not great 1:10:14.000 --> 1:10:15.800 in his brief debut las year. I think overall you 1:10:15.840 --> 1:10:19.519 saw really good OBP skills, but just didn't really put 1:10:19.600 --> 1:10:23.479 much impact on the baseball. Subtle adjustments pushed his contact 1:10:23.479 --> 1:10:25.719 point out further in front this year and he cuts 1:10:25.760 --> 1:10:28.240 his groundball rate by twenty percent and he's launched now 1:10:28.360 --> 1:10:31.280 nineteen homers between high A and double as a guy 1:10:31.320 --> 1:10:34.240 with plus wheels, with now plus raw power that he's 1:10:34.240 --> 1:10:36.320 getting into in games. And that was a guy that 1:10:36.680 --> 1:10:39.120 was kind of an afterthought for you. He was a 1:10:39.160 --> 1:10:41.200 seventh round pick that you invested two hundred and thirty 1:10:41.320 --> 1:10:45.240 seven thousand dollars in last year, you immediately take and 1:10:45.320 --> 1:10:47.879 you level up because it's the frickin' Brewers and their development. 1:10:48.120 --> 1:10:50.519 Your pair of that with Freus, you know, an IFA guy, 1:10:50.520 --> 1:10:52.800 which they just do such a good job on that front. 1:10:53.160 --> 1:10:54.360 And that's the player that. 1:10:54.240 --> 1:10:56.200 I look at the ceiling here with Alexander Frius again, 1:10:56.240 --> 1:10:57.800 I think you could make a case for him being 1:10:57.840 --> 1:11:01.559 top one hundred caliber four forty one five eighteen six 1:11:01.640 --> 1:11:05.040 seventy eight slash line in thirty two Arizona Complex games 1:11:05.360 --> 1:11:07.479 as an eighteen year old, and he's already starting to 1:11:07.520 --> 1:11:10.120 settle in low A. I love the upside of Fries, 1:11:10.360 --> 1:11:13.080 I think for Dustin May and Jojo Romero and two 1:11:13.080 --> 1:11:15.599 rentals right like yes, I like itsuse. 1:11:15.600 --> 1:11:16.599 I think they koly have a plan. 1:11:16.680 --> 1:11:18.559 I think May is gonna be good with the Brewers 1:11:18.560 --> 1:11:21.479 and Romero helps for sure, But man, I think the 1:11:21.600 --> 1:11:24.240 upside of these two players, especially with Fries, is so 1:11:24.360 --> 1:11:26.839 exciting to add to this cardinal system for rentals. 1:11:27.880 --> 1:11:30.240 So I think Jojo Romero is one of the more 1:11:30.360 --> 1:11:33.479 underrated lefty relievers in baseball just because He's a ground 1:11:33.520 --> 1:11:36.880 ball gremlin. I mean, this guy he is. He's throwing 1:11:36.920 --> 1:11:39.799 bowling balls like it's up there with Farrer Farrera. Obviously 1:11:39.840 --> 1:11:42.639 there was one hundred versus Romero's ninety five, but Romero 1:11:42.760 --> 1:11:45.880 has been one of the more under the radar consistent 1:11:46.000 --> 1:11:48.960 lefty bullpen arms in Major League Baseball. So I love 1:11:49.000 --> 1:11:51.800 that Milwaukee went to go do this fortify the back 1:11:51.840 --> 1:11:54.080 end of their rotation at least for the regular season. 1:11:54.400 --> 1:11:57.240 In Dustin May, who's nasty and excited to see him 1:11:57.560 --> 1:12:00.519 get working in the brewer lab, and then Joe Joe Romeiro, 1:12:00.600 --> 1:12:02.479 I just think is another iron in the fire. And 1:12:02.560 --> 1:12:05.679 they have what is pretty damn close to a super 1:12:05.760 --> 1:12:09.160 penn at points with Ashby, with Patrick being able to 1:12:09.200 --> 1:12:11.719 go four innings out of the bullpen, and of course 1:12:11.760 --> 1:12:14.680 with mcgil and admir Yuribe on the back end, like 1:12:14.760 --> 1:12:18.160 they have a lot of good stuff cooking pitching wise. 1:12:18.720 --> 1:12:21.200 Do want to take us to the Mets? Oh wait, 1:12:21.240 --> 1:12:23.640 where did Fink go? Vink was hanging out here for 1:12:23.640 --> 1:12:26.800 a minute here, but he just disappeared. Huh Yeah, I 1:12:26.800 --> 1:12:27.840 think we were ready for the Mets. 1:12:27.840 --> 1:12:30.200 But oh well, yeah, we were talking about good trades, 1:12:30.200 --> 1:12:32.000 and he's like, I'm out of here. I haven't been 1:12:32.040 --> 1:12:34.400 involved in any good mets trades all day long, so 1:12:34.439 --> 1:12:37.559 I can understand why he might be upset so sad. 1:12:37.600 --> 1:12:40.559 All right, you know what, Fink's taking a nap. We 1:12:40.600 --> 1:12:42.640 are actually going to talk about a met here. I 1:12:42.680 --> 1:12:44.920 want to take us to WASCAR Braza Bond and. 1:12:46.200 --> 1:12:48.160 Let's wait for Fink just to come back, because I'm 1:12:48.160 --> 1:12:51.040 sure he will. And let's shout out h the goat 1:12:51.120 --> 1:12:55.559 Lab app again again. Remember use the promo the QR 1:12:55.640 --> 1:12:58.880 code on this stream right here to download the app. 1:12:59.280 --> 1:13:01.160 It's so much I'm telling. 1:13:00.880 --> 1:13:03.240 You, it's funny. I was going to pivot us to 1:13:03.280 --> 1:13:06.080 the White Sox conversation, but if Fink is coming back, 1:13:06.080 --> 1:13:08.320 then we can talk about the Mets. There were eight 1:13:08.439 --> 1:13:11.360 New York Mets that were traded over the course of 1:13:11.960 --> 1:13:15.479 the last month or so when you account for David Peterson. 1:13:16.040 --> 1:13:18.519 But there were seven New York Mets that were traded 1:13:18.880 --> 1:13:20.840 over the course of the last forty eight to seventy 1:13:20.840 --> 1:13:23.360 two hours. And Ryan Finkelstein has made his valiant return. 1:13:23.600 --> 1:13:26.680 He joins us now the seven New York Mets on 1:13:26.800 --> 1:13:28.880 top of David Peterson that have been dealt in the 1:13:28.960 --> 1:13:32.080 last seventy two hours. Clay Holmes and Tyrone and Taylor 1:13:32.439 --> 1:13:36.479 they go to the Chicago Cubs. Brooks Raley he was traded. 1:13:36.600 --> 1:13:40.080 Aj Minter was traded to Minnesota. Wastcar Braza Bond goes 1:13:40.080 --> 1:13:42.400 to the White Sox, Luke Weaver to the Pirates, Freddy 1:13:42.400 --> 1:13:46.840 Pearl to Tampa. Those are the seven guys, Ryan Finkelstein, 1:13:47.360 --> 1:13:51.880 we were forecasting a New York met fire sale. Did 1:13:51.880 --> 1:13:54.280 they do a good enough job? Yes? Or no? And what. 1:13:56.439 --> 1:13:59.479 I mean, look, I think based on the market that 1:13:59.479 --> 1:14:01.920 we've seen, Like I look at each trade and I 1:14:02.000 --> 1:14:04.680 don't think for most of them they did a bad 1:14:04.760 --> 1:14:07.960 job on the return. I'm glad they got Jefferson Rojas 1:14:08.240 --> 1:14:10.240 as the final move. That makes me feel a lot 1:14:10.280 --> 1:14:13.120 better because I wouldn't be surprised if he slots in 1:14:13.160 --> 1:14:15.080 as like the number one Mets prospect for a lot 1:14:15.080 --> 1:14:18.040 of people after this, so I know for a pipeline 1:14:18.040 --> 1:14:19.639 he already is that one. 1:14:19.479 --> 1:14:20.760 I think say things a little bit. 1:14:21.120 --> 1:14:24.360 The trade that I'm actually really frustrated with is the 1:14:24.400 --> 1:14:25.160 Luke Weaver deal. 1:14:25.840 --> 1:14:28.360 That one I think is absolutely brutal. 1:14:30.520 --> 1:14:30.920 Alone. 1:14:31.040 --> 1:14:33.240 Luke Weaver for samis de Ferrow one for one. 1:14:33.560 --> 1:14:34.840 I was okay with that. 1:14:34.960 --> 1:14:36.400 It fell a little bit light, but. 1:14:36.360 --> 1:14:38.200 The money that went the other way in the deal. 1:14:38.680 --> 1:14:41.519 You're telling me that the pirates are going to be 1:14:41.520 --> 1:14:45.000 paying Luke Weaver. Depends on who you ask, but I 1:14:45.040 --> 1:14:47.800 saw either five point four million dollars over the next 1:14:47.920 --> 1:14:50.639 year and a half or seven point five million dollars 1:14:50.760 --> 1:14:54.800 either way. To not do better when that is what 1:14:54.880 --> 1:14:58.800 Luke Weaver is costing financially is wild to me. So 1:14:58.880 --> 1:15:01.120 that's the one that I think they really missed On 1:15:01.160 --> 1:15:03.640 the other ones, I'm not really mad at most most of. 1:15:03.640 --> 1:15:04.679 These trades are rentals. 1:15:05.080 --> 1:15:06.760 So like, this is the one where I would have 1:15:06.880 --> 1:15:09.800 just kept Luke Weaver as my closer for next season 1:15:09.840 --> 1:15:11.960 and moved Devin Wins into the eighth inning right now 1:15:12.200 --> 1:15:13.920 and just said, yeah, we set a high price tag 1:15:13.920 --> 1:15:16.160 for Luke Weaver, nobody met it, and we're gonna hold 1:15:16.200 --> 1:15:18.040 on to them because we're trying to win next season. 1:15:18.560 --> 1:15:21.680 That's the one that frustrates me. Everything else, again, it's 1:15:21.680 --> 1:15:23.639 mostly rental trades. I'm not gonna get too mad about. 1:15:24.520 --> 1:15:25.920 That was the part I was and I know we 1:15:26.000 --> 1:15:28.000 talked about it briefly, think but it was like East 1:15:28.160 --> 1:15:31.040 four Us is a really good athlete and a guy 1:15:31.080 --> 1:15:34.560 that I didn't love early in Cincinnati, just because I 1:15:34.600 --> 1:15:36.680 thought the swing was just so raw. It's gotten a 1:15:36.720 --> 1:15:39.600 lot better, but there's still some major swing and misconcerns. 1:15:39.600 --> 1:15:42.160 I still have some questions about whether he's just gonna hit. 1:15:42.400 --> 1:15:46.080 But twitchy athlete, can play, a good shortstop, can run, 1:15:46.600 --> 1:15:48.360 and it's a high upside guy that I think you're 1:15:48.360 --> 1:15:51.000 excited to bring in a Northeast kid, which is fun 1:15:51.040 --> 1:15:52.559 as well. I think literally grew up a Mets fan, 1:15:52.600 --> 1:15:57.080 which is awesome, But when you're paying a really good 1:15:57.160 --> 1:16:00.000 reliever down, I just thought you'd get a little bit 1:16:00.040 --> 1:16:01.840 more than just Stefora, who still comes with some hit 1:16:01.880 --> 1:16:02.280 too risk. 1:16:02.520 --> 1:16:04.720 That said, we've talked about stra on the call up. 1:16:04.720 --> 1:16:07.760 We do our heat sheets, and like he's been the 1:16:07.800 --> 1:16:09.880 guy that's come up because he has been on some 1:16:09.920 --> 1:16:11.720 of the best stretches over the last month and a 1:16:11.760 --> 1:16:14.519 half of really any player in minor league baseball. So 1:16:14.560 --> 1:16:16.400 there's a chance that something is just really clicked for 1:16:16.439 --> 1:16:20.879 Stephora and he's he's just kicked it into another gear offensively, which. 1:16:20.720 --> 1:16:21.479 I think is the hope. 1:16:22.160 --> 1:16:25.479 Yeah, that's cool. I do want to kind of pivot 1:16:25.520 --> 1:16:27.439 to the other side of some of these Mets deals. 1:16:27.439 --> 1:16:30.439 But shit, I'm sorry, I didn't realize it's fifteen homers 1:16:30.439 --> 1:16:32.440 by Stefhora in his last twenty games. 1:16:32.880 --> 1:16:38.160 Wow, there, don't think you might be getting a dog again. 1:16:39.120 --> 1:16:42.240 When I first saw the one for one, I honestly 1:16:42.720 --> 1:16:43.439 was happy with it. 1:16:43.479 --> 1:16:44.519 I thought it was a good trade. 1:16:44.560 --> 1:16:46.200 I was like, all right, well, at least you're you're 1:16:46.240 --> 1:16:49.120 getting off of even if the Mets ate all of Luke. 1:16:48.920 --> 1:16:50.160 Weaver's money for this season. 1:16:50.640 --> 1:16:53.479 Yeah, if you can reallocate twelve and a half million dollars, 1:16:53.520 --> 1:16:57.080 you can get a Luke Weaver comp in free agency. 1:16:57.840 --> 1:16:59.880 I just can't believe it that diar amount. They did 1:17:00.160 --> 1:17:02.160 do a little bit better, and that's the bigger thing 1:17:02.160 --> 1:17:05.040 for me. It's not even hating the prospect, it's hating 1:17:05.080 --> 1:17:07.360 the return. When you're selling a year and a half 1:17:07.360 --> 1:17:09.839 of Luke Weaver for seven and a half million dollars, 1:17:09.880 --> 1:17:11.800 and that's on the high end. It might be five 1:17:11.840 --> 1:17:14.479 point four. If Luke Weaver was a free agent off 1:17:14.479 --> 1:17:18.080 of this season, what's he getting three years forty million? 1:17:18.640 --> 1:17:21.000 Like for the Pirates to get a year and a 1:17:21.040 --> 1:17:23.799 half of Luke Weaver for seven and a half million dollars. 1:17:23.880 --> 1:17:24.919 That's insane. 1:17:25.640 --> 1:17:28.519 It is pretty insane. I think I think we can 1:17:28.600 --> 1:17:32.160 talk about some of the other team's impacts from some 1:17:32.200 --> 1:17:33.960 of these met deals, Like do you want to sit 1:17:34.000 --> 1:17:36.680 here and talk about Brooks Rayley's impact on the Philadelphia 1:17:36.680 --> 1:17:38.000 Phillies or do you not care at all? 1:17:38.920 --> 1:17:42.400 Start I really want to think to break down all 1:17:42.439 --> 1:17:44.000 of the players that he traded away. 1:17:43.840 --> 1:17:46.120 On you know what kind of arm of the White 1:17:46.120 --> 1:17:48.680 Sox getting in WASCAR. Brazubon man, let us know. 1:17:50.200 --> 1:17:51.960 Well, you know what, that was another one. 1:17:52.000 --> 1:17:54.200 If there's another one that frustrates me, it's kind of 1:17:54.200 --> 1:17:57.600 the Brazubon trade because it's just so much control of 1:17:57.640 --> 1:17:59.040 a guy that I think is just going to throw 1:17:59.040 --> 1:18:00.920 that sinker for the next three years and just keep 1:18:00.960 --> 1:18:04.920 getting ounce. I mean, it's it's year after year. This 1:18:05.000 --> 1:18:07.720 guy's never had like a bad season. It's just he 1:18:08.120 --> 1:18:12.320 doesn't pitch and leverage, but he still is a multi 1:18:12.360 --> 1:18:14.640 inning guy for the White Sox team My pitch and 1:18:14.720 --> 1:18:17.599 leverage and he was nails in the World Baseball Classic too, 1:18:18.000 --> 1:18:20.800 So that was another one where I get that gave 1:18:20.920 --> 1:18:23.639 Davis is a nice lottery ticket for the Mets, But honestly, 1:18:23.720 --> 1:18:25.800 I would have just kept Rozabond in the bullpen for 1:18:25.840 --> 1:18:28.040 next season. So I feel like the Mets could have 1:18:28.040 --> 1:18:30.599 had an alternate path where they just traded the rentals, 1:18:31.080 --> 1:18:33.000 and I would have been actually a little more pleased 1:18:33.000 --> 1:18:34.280 with what they did this deadline. 1:18:34.760 --> 1:18:37.000 Would you think about the play Holmes deal, because I 1:18:37.040 --> 1:18:39.559 know we've already talked about that from the Cubs angle. 1:18:39.840 --> 1:18:42.120 I don't know arm kind of broke down the prospect package, 1:18:42.160 --> 1:18:44.559 but I'm just curious what you thought, because you know, Weaver, 1:18:44.800 --> 1:18:47.719 I guess was the biggest name move just because he's healthy. 1:18:47.760 --> 1:18:50.800 But if we're talking about true talent, probably the best 1:18:50.800 --> 1:18:54.240 player that left the Mets is Clay Holmes, Tyrone Taylor, 1:18:54.280 --> 1:18:56.400 and you get Jefferson Rojas. I know you kind of 1:18:56.400 --> 1:18:58.360 mentioned it off top, but anything else on that one. 1:18:59.080 --> 1:19:01.200 I think the two the best returns that the Mets 1:19:01.280 --> 1:19:04.759 got are actually homes in Peralta. I think I actually 1:19:04.840 --> 1:19:09.120 like the three prospects collectively over Stafora for the Parolta trade, 1:19:09.240 --> 1:19:11.080 especially when you factor in the extra year of control. 1:19:11.080 --> 1:19:12.840 But as far as the Clay Holmes trade, I mean, 1:19:12.880 --> 1:19:15.760 look again, Jefferson Rojas is the best prospect the Mets 1:19:15.800 --> 1:19:17.559 are getting at this deadline. They added a lot of 1:19:17.600 --> 1:19:20.680 depth to their system, Like you said, I think eleven prospects. 1:19:21.479 --> 1:19:24.320 They completely have a brand new infield in double A 1:19:24.400 --> 1:19:27.000 now because Mitch Voyd just got called up. Now you 1:19:27.080 --> 1:19:29.240 have Rojas that's going to be in double A. Billy 1:19:29.280 --> 1:19:31.800 Amikho came in the Mentor trade is in double A. 1:19:32.240 --> 1:19:34.320 I think there's one more than I mean forgetting about here. 1:19:34.360 --> 1:19:37.960 But regardless, I think Rojas is kind of the prize 1:19:38.000 --> 1:19:39.880 of this deadline for the Mets, and so that if 1:19:39.880 --> 1:19:42.080 they didn't get that piece, I'd feel a lot worse, 1:19:42.640 --> 1:19:44.160 Like that's the one guy that you know is going 1:19:44.200 --> 1:19:46.400 to be a top five Mets prospect according to everybody 1:19:46.479 --> 1:19:46.840 after this. 1:19:47.400 --> 1:19:50.720 It's not Bruin Agbayani. He's not the prize possession of 1:19:50.720 --> 1:19:51.560 the Met deadline. 1:19:52.200 --> 1:19:55.160 Honestly, I like the Mentor return more than the Raley return, 1:19:55.240 --> 1:19:57.720 So I will say that, like interesting, I thought it 1:19:57.720 --> 1:19:59.040 was going to be the other way around, But I did 1:19:59.080 --> 1:20:01.040 like the Mentor eternal or turn a little bit more. 1:20:01.080 --> 1:20:03.960 But again, like you can't really scrutinize rental trades. 1:20:04.000 --> 1:20:04.639 You just can't. 1:20:04.680 --> 1:20:06.479 Like it's yeah, especially in this market. 1:20:06.560 --> 1:20:06.960 It's tough. 1:20:07.000 --> 1:20:09.800 Hey, and let me build off Raleigh with you real quick, 1:20:09.840 --> 1:20:12.679 because Brooks Raley is a guy that can give you headaches, 1:20:13.080 --> 1:20:17.000 and Raleigh is a really interesting pickup for Philadelphia. I 1:20:17.040 --> 1:20:20.120 think they needed some bullpen help getting to Doran and 1:20:20.160 --> 1:20:23.360 getting to Kirkering and they got it here in a 1:20:23.439 --> 1:20:27.880 lefty and Brooks Raleigh. How sustainable do you think he is? 1:20:28.000 --> 1:20:30.040 Because I feel like you could look at the arsenal 1:20:30.160 --> 1:20:32.840 and look at the stuff and say he could get 1:20:32.840 --> 1:20:36.080 annihilated in October, but he's also just been doing it 1:20:36.200 --> 1:20:38.720 time and time again. And you're a guy that has 1:20:38.760 --> 1:20:41.640 sat here and watched every single one of Rayley's outings. 1:20:42.400 --> 1:20:44.560 Brooks Raley, I think, based on the sample and it 1:20:44.640 --> 1:20:46.559 might be like one hundred and fifty innings, he has 1:20:46.600 --> 1:20:49.040 like the second best era in Met's history for a reliever. 1:20:49.200 --> 1:20:52.240 That's how good he was across four seasons since Adison 1:20:52.320 --> 1:20:55.679 Reid and Brooks Raley. Brooks Raley didn't read how about 1:20:55.680 --> 1:21:00.360 that that was a great pickup man twenty fifteen deadline, 1:20:59.760 --> 1:21:04.040 But yeah, ten years ago, Yeah, you look. 1:21:03.920 --> 1:21:05.640 At what Brooks Railey is going to give them. 1:21:05.680 --> 1:21:08.720 It's just three consistent outs every time he said about that, 1:21:08.720 --> 1:21:09.960 like he's gonna go out there, he's gonna get his 1:21:10.000 --> 1:21:11.680 three outs, and a lot of times I might be on 1:21:11.760 --> 1:21:13.639 nine pitches and just get a couple of ground balls. 1:21:13.800 --> 1:21:15.800 And it's also I think a really nice piece to 1:21:15.920 --> 1:21:18.439 be able to go up against all these lefties, like 1:21:18.439 --> 1:21:21.559 in particular Brooks Rally is very familiar with pitching them 1:21:21.560 --> 1:21:23.519 Matt Olson, so you know, if that's kind of the 1:21:23.520 --> 1:21:25.519 matchup down the stretch for the Phillies or even you know, 1:21:25.560 --> 1:21:28.920 the Dodgers, Like he's he's good against lefties, good against righty's, 1:21:28.960 --> 1:21:31.000 and he's been pitching and leverage for most of his 1:21:31.080 --> 1:21:31.880 tenure with the Mets. 1:21:31.920 --> 1:21:33.879 So I really saw a pickup for the Phillies. 1:21:34.479 --> 1:21:36.960 Cool, you guys have any other met based questions for 1:21:37.040 --> 1:21:38.759 Fank or No? Are we gonna let him go wallow 1:21:38.760 --> 1:21:39.400 in sadness? 1:21:39.720 --> 1:21:43.320 No, I've predicted. I had three predictions for this trade deadline. 1:21:43.360 --> 1:21:46.519 Derek Scooba was preordained to the Dodgers hit. Yeah, the 1:21:46.520 --> 1:21:49.640 Atlanta Braves. We're gonna have the most disappointing deadline. I mean, 1:21:49.720 --> 1:21:52.080 I'm most disappointing, but it was certainly disappointing. One of 1:21:52.080 --> 1:21:54.520 them and then the Mets. We're gonna win the deadline 1:21:54.560 --> 1:21:57.400 because of how well David Stearns was going to perform 1:21:58.040 --> 1:22:00.719 selling assets. I thought he was in the perfect spot. 1:22:00.760 --> 1:22:02.840 I thought this is where you'll get the best of 1:22:02.920 --> 1:22:05.639 David Stearns, and they arguably lost it. So I'm gonna 1:22:05.720 --> 1:22:08.760 I went two for one or two for three. Not bad, right, 1:22:08.840 --> 1:22:09.920 think bad? 1:22:10.000 --> 1:22:11.320 Not bad? 1:22:12.600 --> 1:22:13.200 Serious question. 1:22:13.200 --> 1:22:15.240 I know you've got to do lockdown, Matt's How excited 1:22:15.240 --> 1:22:17.960 are you for the rest of the season now? Like 1:22:18.000 --> 1:22:20.000 are they for the young guys that are gonna come up? 1:22:20.120 --> 1:22:20.240 Like? 1:22:20.600 --> 1:22:22.479 How do you? How do you dig in now? 1:22:22.720 --> 1:22:25.360 For the rest of the He's on Robert stock Watch 1:22:25.400 --> 1:22:26.120 every fifth day. 1:22:26.479 --> 1:22:29.000 Yeah, actually, I'm glad you brought that up. 1:22:29.200 --> 1:22:32.960 I actually got emotional seeing Robert Stocket emotional after that start. 1:22:33.000 --> 1:22:36.439 That guy's had a journey and had Jurassic outlet syndrome, 1:22:36.560 --> 1:22:41.520 like surgery like a few months ago. What the insane 1:22:41.840 --> 1:22:43.880 easy to root for that guy? But yeah, sorry, thank 1:22:43.960 --> 1:22:44.719 answer the question. 1:22:45.280 --> 1:22:47.439 I can't wait to see two more months of Luis 1:22:47.520 --> 1:22:48.200 Robert Jr. 1:22:48.320 --> 1:22:49.160 I can't wait for that. 1:22:49.240 --> 1:22:50.639 Well, yeah, why don't he get traded? 1:22:51.280 --> 1:22:53.720 I honestly think they just they're just literally there was 1:22:53.760 --> 1:22:56.240 no takers. I mean, you either could have eaten all 1:22:56.280 --> 1:22:56.800 the money and. 1:22:56.720 --> 1:22:58.880 Gotten a fly or prospect. You could have just tried 1:22:58.880 --> 1:23:01.400 to get out of his buyout for next year. Couldn't 1:23:01.439 --> 1:23:01.800 do that. 1:23:01.880 --> 1:23:04.720 But I am excited on the stretch because you know, 1:23:04.960 --> 1:23:07.559 I think Jonah Tong probably comes up and so I 1:23:07.600 --> 1:23:09.639 think they maybe go six man and so you're gonna 1:23:09.640 --> 1:23:13.920 get a start a week from Tong, Christian Scott, Noel McLain. 1:23:13.640 --> 1:23:15.400 And Zach Dordon. I think that's fun. 1:23:15.400 --> 1:23:17.639 They're also gonna throw a bunch of relievers that they're 1:23:17.640 --> 1:23:19.639 gonna be trying out for next season, like Jeffrey Yon 1:23:20.160 --> 1:23:21.000 is coming up around. 1:23:21.640 --> 1:23:23.320 That's that's the reason to watch alone. 1:23:23.680 --> 1:23:25.439 So you got that and then you get to to 1:23:25.520 --> 1:23:28.200 watch you and benjam McClain finished out the rookie season. 1:23:28.280 --> 1:23:30.680 So compared to twenty twenty three, there's a lot more 1:23:30.720 --> 1:23:32.519 to wash on the stretch than there was back then 1:23:32.520 --> 1:23:34.599 when the Mets had their last fire sale. And I'll 1:23:34.600 --> 1:23:37.479 be plugged into that new Binghamton Rumble Ponies infield too. 1:23:38.680 --> 1:23:40.720 That's that's where you got to focus the content. Now 1:23:40.960 --> 1:23:43.960 I'm a prospect show. Now all of a sudden rival college. 1:23:44.479 --> 1:23:47.559 I think before you go, have you played the goat 1:23:47.640 --> 1:23:51.240 lab app game? Because I'm looking at our comments right now, 1:23:51.439 --> 1:23:53.360 we've got a bunch of people beating me. 1:23:54.520 --> 1:23:54.920 This guy. 1:23:56.040 --> 1:23:59.120 Let me show this here for Matthew just got six 1:23:59.360 --> 1:24:02.559 D and twenty seven million dollar career earnings, Hall of Famer, 1:24:02.640 --> 1:24:06.280 seventeen time All star, Peter's bond knowledge. That's now good question. 1:24:06.680 --> 1:24:09.800 Go beat me. I'm telling you the winner gets a 1:24:09.840 --> 1:24:12.800 free hat and a free shirt from Just Baseball, and 1:24:12.840 --> 1:24:15.160 beyond just the prizes. It's going to be one of 1:24:15.200 --> 1:24:18.080 those games that you're always playing in your downtime. It's 1:24:18.120 --> 1:24:20.560 a really fun game. It's free. Remember to use the 1:24:20.640 --> 1:24:22.599 QR code. Think. I'm really excited to see what you get. 1:24:22.640 --> 1:24:24.719 Because Arma Jack, I've already played and beat the crap 1:24:24.760 --> 1:24:26.120 out of me. I don't think I've played it right. 1:24:26.120 --> 1:24:28.439 I gotta go back and play it again. And eighty 1:24:28.479 --> 1:24:30.920 six just isn't cutting it. I can't be soft side 1:24:30.960 --> 1:24:33.360 of the platoon, Paul Goldschmidt, that's my copy. It's not 1:24:33.360 --> 1:24:33.800 gonna work. 1:24:35.320 --> 1:24:37.040 Alright, guys, do that. Thank you. 1:24:37.120 --> 1:24:39.599 I appreciate it. Think we're going to pivot the conversation 1:24:39.680 --> 1:24:42.680 here to the Chicago White Sox and I And by 1:24:42.720 --> 1:24:44.880 the way, we've got a whole bunch of scores here. 1:24:45.000 --> 1:24:49.280 I think I'm anonymous. I think that's my You are anonymous, Yeah, 1:24:49.360 --> 1:24:51.640 I'm anonymous? Who are you m Didn't you get the 1:24:51.640 --> 1:24:52.720 same score that I thought? 1:24:52.720 --> 1:24:54.240 I got a one o three? But maybe I lost 1:24:54.280 --> 1:24:54.919 by a decimal? 1:24:54.960 --> 1:24:59.800 There, shout out Tommy. You might win a free hat, 1:25:00.280 --> 1:25:05.719 a free shirt from Just Baseball. Remember, guys, once there's 1:25:05.760 --> 1:25:07.920 the QR code right there, use it, try and win. 1:25:08.120 --> 1:25:08.880 It's so much fun. 1:25:09.439 --> 1:25:12.360 There we go. I want to pivot the conversation here 1:25:12.360 --> 1:25:15.439 to the Chicago White Sox because the White Sox they 1:25:16.120 --> 1:25:18.800 bought to a certain extent here, and there were a 1:25:18.840 --> 1:25:21.439 couple of big deals that came in. The first one 1:25:21.479 --> 1:25:23.720 a few days ago was Louis Castile, obviously making the 1:25:23.760 --> 1:25:25.960 move from the Seattle Mariners of the Chicago White Sox. 1:25:26.240 --> 1:25:29.400 Luis Castillo goes to the White Sox for Sir Anthony Dominguez, 1:25:29.439 --> 1:25:32.639 Nolan Jones, and then a catching prospect Boston Smith, who 1:25:32.640 --> 1:25:36.000 they actually, funny enough acquired for Curtis Mead. The other 1:25:36.080 --> 1:25:40.040 two that jumped out here h Wascar Brasabon. We just mentioned, 1:25:40.040 --> 1:25:42.880 Brozabon adds to the White Sox bullpen here and he 1:25:42.920 --> 1:25:45.719 can be a consistent arm. Brazobon goes from the Mets 1:25:45.720 --> 1:25:48.040 of the White Sox for right hander Gabe Davis and 1:25:48.160 --> 1:25:50.840 right hander Zach Franklin. And then the other one is 1:25:50.960 --> 1:25:53.519 they go and get a center fielder here that it 1:25:53.600 --> 1:25:58.519 seems like has some untapped athleticism right now in Brenton Doyle. 1:25:58.840 --> 1:26:01.559 Brenton Doyle goes from the Colorado Rockies to the Chicago 1:26:01.560 --> 1:26:04.320 White Sox for right hitter Mason Adams and church stop 1:26:04.400 --> 1:26:09.160 Carlos Fioma. We've hit on Castile and Brazabon already. You 1:26:09.200 --> 1:26:12.160 guys hit on Castile on Sunday Night Show. Brozabon, we 1:26:12.240 --> 1:26:14.679 just hit on with Fink. But I want to pick 1:26:14.720 --> 1:26:17.479 your brain on Brenton Doyle because this is a really 1:26:17.640 --> 1:26:20.960 interesting get for not a lot as it pertains to 1:26:21.080 --> 1:26:24.599 prospect capital here. I think this is a fun flyer 1:26:24.640 --> 1:26:28.320 to take when they've been hunting outfielders for months at 1:26:28.360 --> 1:26:28.759 this point. 1:26:28.760 --> 1:26:31.760 Are Yeah, I think it was very clear for this 1:26:31.880 --> 1:26:34.880 team that like that they wanted to one try to 1:26:34.920 --> 1:26:37.040 get some controllable pieces. But I think more importantly like 1:26:37.920 --> 1:26:39.960 they weren't going to put all the chips forward, so 1:26:40.000 --> 1:26:43.479 it's gonna be more like Bilow strategic opportunities here. And 1:26:43.520 --> 1:26:46.120 I think they see a super talent at Brenton Doyle, 1:26:46.120 --> 1:26:48.200 where the defensive metrics are always gonna be a little 1:26:48.200 --> 1:26:51.080 bit shoddy, and in course, this guy's gonna go play 1:26:51.600 --> 1:26:53.800 an elite center field and I think we've seen that 1:26:53.840 --> 1:26:57.240 through stretches and getting get in to Chicago. Just getting out, 1:26:57.240 --> 1:26:58.880 of course is only going to help them in that regard. 1:26:59.120 --> 1:27:01.200 But what I really like is, and you alluded to this, 1:27:01.400 --> 1:27:04.719 you know before we started recording, is just that Derek 1:27:04.720 --> 1:27:06.720 Schouman's as good as they come when it comes to 1:27:06.800 --> 1:27:09.680 just just not only developing hitters, but guys that with 1:27:10.400 --> 1:27:12.800 and are trying to find it right Like we've seen 1:27:12.840 --> 1:27:15.360 so many of those guys in Miami before Showman was 1:27:15.439 --> 1:27:18.439 you know, poached over and brought over to Chicago to 1:27:18.479 --> 1:27:21.240 the South Side that made leaps and credit Showman. And 1:27:21.640 --> 1:27:23.840 I think this is a fun one because you don't 1:27:23.840 --> 1:27:26.599 need him to become Kyle Stowers, you don't need him 1:27:26.640 --> 1:27:33.360 to become Murakami. If Brenon Doyle is a ninety WRC plus, 1:27:33.720 --> 1:27:36.400 he's a two to three war player and he's an easy, 1:27:36.920 --> 1:27:39.639 great addition to the fold there. So I think it's 1:27:39.680 --> 1:27:41.400 just figuring out how to get him from not being 1:27:41.400 --> 1:27:42.840 one of the worst hitters in the game. 1:27:43.080 --> 1:27:45.800 And it should be all up from here. 1:27:46.840 --> 1:27:50.160 And the ninety WRC plus can show itself in twenty 1:27:50.200 --> 1:27:53.280 homers and twenty backs. That's the coolest thing about this, 1:27:53.320 --> 1:27:55.799 where it could be like low batting average, okay, whatever, 1:27:56.360 --> 1:27:58.599 and the k rate could still be there a little bit, 1:27:58.720 --> 1:28:01.439 But ninety wrs plus in a twenty twenty guy with 1:28:01.479 --> 1:28:03.800 elite defense in center. I'm signing up for that. 1:28:04.280 --> 1:28:06.080 And if it doesn't work, sorry, Peter, say it. If 1:28:06.120 --> 1:28:08.400 it doesn't work, like, who cares. You didn't give up much, 1:28:08.400 --> 1:28:10.760 And that was clearly that the prerogative for the White 1:28:10.800 --> 1:28:11.200 Sox was. 1:28:11.200 --> 1:28:12.599 We're not going to give up any of our top 1:28:12.640 --> 1:28:13.400 ten prospects. 1:28:13.640 --> 1:28:15.400 That's exactly what I was going to say, Like, it's 1:28:15.400 --> 1:28:18.400 that fun flyer to make, and if it doesn't work out, 1:28:18.439 --> 1:28:20.080 you won't lose sleep over this deal at all. 1:28:20.840 --> 1:28:22.400 It's okay, you can cough if you want. 1:28:22.520 --> 1:28:23.040 Yeah, I don't know. 1:28:23.160 --> 1:28:24.760 I don't get it out of my road there. 1:28:24.920 --> 1:28:25.200 I don't know. 1:28:25.800 --> 1:28:26.280 I don't know. 1:28:27.560 --> 1:28:30.920 We had some comments about and I realized that where 1:28:30.960 --> 1:28:32.040 the fuck are the Reds? 1:28:33.880 --> 1:28:37.080 Yeah? Is it nothing? 1:28:37.720 --> 1:28:40.400 Yeah? Did you guys see that that it was reported 1:28:40.439 --> 1:28:44.560 like thirty minutes before the deadline? Brady Singer's staying put. 1:28:44.800 --> 1:28:47.559 I was like, why, Yeah, what's purpose? And why did 1:28:47.600 --> 1:28:51.800 you declare it before the deadline ended? That? That made 1:28:51.880 --> 1:28:53.479 no sense to me. I feel like the Reds had 1:28:53.479 --> 1:28:56.640 an opportunity here to either buy kind of like the 1:28:56.640 --> 1:29:00.599 Blue Jays did, maybe for next year, or sell off 1:29:00.640 --> 1:29:02.599 expiring pieces, do something. 1:29:02.960 --> 1:29:06.519 So all they dealt was Nathaniel Lowe to Cleveland and 1:29:06.680 --> 1:29:10.280 Caleb Ferguson for international bonus pool money. 1:29:11.320 --> 1:29:12.320 They didn't even get it, that's it. 1:29:13.240 --> 1:29:15.320 And they got Juan Brito, who was DFA. 1:29:16.479 --> 1:29:17.920 They got the idrea about DFA. 1:29:18.080 --> 1:29:18.519 That's sad. 1:29:18.960 --> 1:29:21.560 Yeah, they got the idea of a person in international 1:29:21.600 --> 1:29:24.519 bonus pool money and they got a guy I got dfaied. 1:29:24.880 --> 1:29:27.120 Do you think they just spent their whole time workshopping 1:29:27.200 --> 1:29:29.400 Hunter Green, Mega Trades and not my home. 1:29:30.439 --> 1:29:32.840 They did nothing else. It's listening to our show and 1:29:32.960 --> 1:29:34.920 being like, wow, maybe that is a good Wow. 1:29:34.960 --> 1:29:38.000 Fifty to fifty chance Buster says, wow, that's good to hear. 1:29:38.160 --> 1:29:40.640 That they finally nailed it with their bottle and then 1:29:40.720 --> 1:29:42.960 they pitched it out. People were like, we don't want. 1:29:42.800 --> 1:29:44.679 To do that, and they're like, oh no, and it's 1:29:45.080 --> 1:29:48.200 so fo Yeah that would have been great four minutes ago. 1:29:49.400 --> 1:29:49.639 Four. 1:29:51.000 --> 1:29:53.720 So on a serious note, like. 1:29:55.240 --> 1:29:57.120 The Reds might need to be talked about as one 1:29:57.160 --> 1:30:02.680 of those teams like not operating, not really doing what 1:30:02.720 --> 1:30:03.679 they need to be doing. 1:30:04.439 --> 1:30:07.400 I will push back on that because they ace Chase 1:30:07.439 --> 1:30:10.000 Burns going number two overall when nobody's. 1:30:09.600 --> 1:30:12.439 Okay, that's good. You took akakazoid. 1:30:13.320 --> 1:30:15.680 Sal Stewart looks like a nationally Rookie of the Year 1:30:15.720 --> 1:30:22.720 front runner. Yes, yeah, at least a superstar. But their 1:30:22.800 --> 1:30:23.920 margin moves are not good. 1:30:24.240 --> 1:30:28.040 Like process, like their process, their process. 1:30:27.600 --> 1:30:28.360 Might not be good. 1:30:28.479 --> 1:30:31.120 Yeah yeah, I just don't I don't know. 1:30:32.080 --> 1:30:34.599 I mean that Gavin looks for Mike Sirota trade might 1:30:34.680 --> 1:30:36.559 end up being like one of the worst trades that 1:30:36.600 --> 1:30:39.439 we've seen. And I don't mean to pile on them. 1:30:39.960 --> 1:30:41.040 What's the point, right. 1:30:41.080 --> 1:30:44.559 I'm just I'm watching they're on like they were always 1:30:44.600 --> 1:30:46.519 kind of in like the middle, don't really pay attention 1:30:46.560 --> 1:30:48.200 to you tier you don't do anything great you don't 1:30:48.200 --> 1:30:51.000 do anything terrible, but like, I just think it's just 1:30:51.400 --> 1:30:51.760 running the. 1:30:51.760 --> 1:30:55.280 Mill front office. Starting to think of them is. 1:30:55.400 --> 1:30:59.839 Like a bottom tier operation there and I'm just just watching. 1:31:00.040 --> 1:31:01.080 Just wanted to put it out there. 1:31:01.200 --> 1:31:03.280 Did we miss any other trades? I feel like there 1:31:03.320 --> 1:31:05.200 definitely some trades that we have missed. 1:31:05.200 --> 1:31:07.920 Cool, Let's go, Let's go rapid fire. I've got a 1:31:07.920 --> 1:31:12.320 few more written down here. Again, Casey Mize was a 1:31:12.360 --> 1:31:16.280 buzzer beater for San Diego. Not only does San Diego 1:31:16.280 --> 1:31:18.519 ad Casey Mice, but they also had Robbie Ray from 1:31:18.560 --> 1:31:21.160 San Francisco. Robbie Ray has been throwing like one of 1:31:21.160 --> 1:31:23.519 the better arms in Major League Baseball. Of it last bit, 1:31:23.640 --> 1:31:26.160 Robbie Ray goes from San Francisco to San Diego for 1:31:26.240 --> 1:31:30.760 Miguel Mendez and Johnny L. Hernandez. Robbie Ray all of 1:31:30.800 --> 1:31:34.360 a sudden, combined with Michael King, combined with Casey Mice, 1:31:34.960 --> 1:31:38.880 give San Diego this rotation that isn't like you're trying 1:31:38.880 --> 1:31:42.160 to piece it together with Hermon Marquez, And as Bueler 1:31:42.200 --> 1:31:44.800 slides down to the four or five, you start to 1:31:44.840 --> 1:31:46.880 feel good about San Diego to the rest of the 1:31:46.920 --> 1:31:47.639 regular season. 1:31:48.160 --> 1:31:51.000 One hundred percent, just real quick on this one. There's 1:31:51.040 --> 1:31:55.680 no more opener to Griffin Canning. There's no more Hermon Marquees. 1:31:56.000 --> 1:31:59.760 You're getting Robbie Ray and freaking Casey Mize right and 1:31:59.800 --> 1:32:03.559 they might not be like top end elite starting pitchers, 1:32:04.040 --> 1:32:06.679 but Casey mis has been pitching like it this year 1:32:06.840 --> 1:32:09.679 and Robbie Ray's putting up a really solid season two again, 1:32:09.800 --> 1:32:12.519 just raising the floor in the only area the Padres 1:32:12.520 --> 1:32:13.880 are really struggling at right now. 1:32:14.240 --> 1:32:16.280 And Peter, let me build off that real quick. They 1:32:16.280 --> 1:32:18.720 were already a couple games over five hundred when they 1:32:18.720 --> 1:32:21.160 were opening for Griffin Canning and running in from. 1:32:21.160 --> 1:32:25.040 Market right now, and like, if I'm a family. 1:32:24.840 --> 1:32:29.960 Dude, Merrill, Merrill's playing unbelievable ball right now. He's playing 1:32:30.000 --> 1:32:32.040 like that Rookie of the Year runner up Meryl At 1:32:32.080 --> 1:32:35.000 Tatisa's back, Machado is kind of like getting into the 1:32:35.000 --> 1:32:37.120 power surge. I think he's realizing that there are too 1:32:37.120 --> 1:32:39.599 many numbers out there and two zero five isn't going 1:32:39.640 --> 1:32:41.759 to cut it, but like, might as well hit thirty 1:32:41.760 --> 1:32:44.200 five bombs this year, So, uh, there's some good stuff 1:32:44.240 --> 1:32:44.559 going on. 1:32:45.000 --> 1:32:48.280 The Other thing with it is like Miz is a 1:32:48.280 --> 1:32:50.840 good option to potentially, you know, when he's on, he 1:32:50.880 --> 1:32:52.840 get pitch deeper into games and give the bullpen a 1:32:52.840 --> 1:32:53.559 little bit of a day off. 1:32:53.600 --> 1:32:56.439 Like Robbie Ray. You can five and dive them. 1:32:56.880 --> 1:32:59.000 All you need is a quality five from me each 1:32:59.040 --> 1:33:01.519 of your starters, and you're you're in the driver's seat. 1:33:01.560 --> 1:33:02.040 Good luck. 1:33:02.120 --> 1:33:02.400 Okay. 1:33:02.479 --> 1:33:04.719 The rest of the way, they kept all their relievers, so. 1:33:04.680 --> 1:33:07.880 I'm happy that they held it out. Yeah, I am 1:33:08.040 --> 1:33:10.360 over the moon happy that they held on to Mason Miller. 1:33:10.400 --> 1:33:13.720 I'm ecstatic they hung onto Morohone for their sake, Like 1:33:14.720 --> 1:33:18.280 Morohone is. I get it a rental, but Morohone to 1:33:18.400 --> 1:33:22.679 them means so much, and that super pen means so much. 1:33:22.760 --> 1:33:25.960 It's their ticket in over the final next two months 1:33:26.000 --> 1:33:28.840 or over the final two months. We've had four other I. 1:33:28.920 --> 1:33:31.200 Just quickly I got to disagree on that part. Not 1:33:31.320 --> 1:33:33.800 trading Adrian Morohone. You could have gave him to the 1:33:33.880 --> 1:33:37.320 Yankees for cash considerations. I don't know why the Padres 1:33:37.360 --> 1:33:40.519 didn't do me personally a favor by sending one of 1:33:40.560 --> 1:33:44.120 my favorite left handed relievers over to the Yankees. But seriously, 1:33:44.280 --> 1:33:45.840 I agree with everything that you said. 1:33:45.880 --> 1:33:48.960 I just had he was the guy I wanted so badly, 1:33:49.240 --> 1:33:51.240 and I thought they might because the Hall would be crazy. 1:33:51.240 --> 1:33:52.960 But it sounds like he might even just he might 1:33:53.000 --> 1:33:54.679 have just tipped his hand and said, like, I'll. 1:33:54.479 --> 1:33:55.080 Just resign with you. 1:33:55.160 --> 1:33:55.320 Gus. 1:33:55.360 --> 1:33:58.160 Did you see this sorse off between like Paymen and 1:33:58.280 --> 1:33:59.320 Nightingale and so. 1:33:59.280 --> 1:34:00.800 I love a good old source off. 1:34:01.760 --> 1:34:03.840 You know, it was back and forth about like did 1:34:03.840 --> 1:34:07.080 the Yankees or the Padres decline a Will Warren for 1:34:07.320 --> 1:34:10.559 Adri morrilone offer? And then Hayman the next day, when 1:34:10.640 --> 1:34:14.600 someone already said Nightingale's report was wrong, adds another prospect 1:34:14.680 --> 1:34:17.080 on top of it and said that the Padres declined. 1:34:17.400 --> 1:34:20.640 All of that was crazy, and ultimately we get absolutely. 1:34:20.080 --> 1:34:20.759 We get nothing. 1:34:21.040 --> 1:34:24.800 Quick shout on the return to Miguel Mendez throws fuel 1:34:25.120 --> 1:34:28.320 fuel fastbaverage is ninety seven to five. He's got a 1:34:28.320 --> 1:34:32.559 four Seemer and a two seamer Ray Yeah to going 1:34:32.600 --> 1:34:35.519 to San France and what you and the slider in 1:34:35.560 --> 1:34:38.680 the mid eighties is gross. And then Yanniel Hernandez is 1:34:38.880 --> 1:34:43.439 probably in a slightly barren system seventeen year old interesting 1:34:43.520 --> 1:34:46.519 upside in the DSL. So I again the giants, I 1:34:46.560 --> 1:34:49.200 thought that as well, as anybody in terms of maximizing 1:34:49.200 --> 1:34:50.000 their returns. 1:34:50.400 --> 1:34:53.280 Yeah, real cool. We've got four other guys we got 1:34:53.320 --> 1:34:55.759 to go over here. One of them is Chris Bubich, 1:34:55.800 --> 1:34:58.479 who goes from the Royals to the La Dodgers. Here, 1:34:59.040 --> 1:35:02.599 Chris Boubich again, who has been hurt for quite a bit, 1:35:03.200 --> 1:35:06.960 goes in return for Carlos Durrant a right handed pitcher 1:35:07.439 --> 1:35:09.879 or what do you have on Carlos Doran Here. 1:35:10.439 --> 1:35:13.559 Carlos ran throws hard and that was a guy that 1:35:13.680 --> 1:35:18.040 I want to say got up for a cup of coffee, 1:35:18.040 --> 1:35:20.960 if I'm more correctly, And then it's just been now 1:35:21.000 --> 1:35:22.400 hanging out and it was last year. He has been 1:35:22.400 --> 1:35:25.479 hanging out in the PCL but spig swing and missed 1:35:25.520 --> 1:35:27.120 offf going to take a chance to see if the 1:35:27.160 --> 1:35:28.080 command can get any better. 1:35:28.120 --> 1:35:29.799 But command's consistently been a problem. 1:35:29.840 --> 1:35:32.200 And it just feels like low cost to acquire for 1:35:32.240 --> 1:35:35.320 a guy that's hurt and Bubach that's working his way 1:35:35.360 --> 1:35:37.479 back that you're hoping can just potentially just be available 1:35:37.479 --> 1:35:39.080 for the stretch run of the playoffs. 1:35:39.720 --> 1:35:40.640 Cool. 1:35:40.960 --> 1:35:46.880 I don't know why the Dodgers did this. Buobach is 1:35:46.880 --> 1:35:48.400 going to be a free agent at the end of 1:35:48.439 --> 1:35:51.600 the season. I mean, it didn't cost them much, but 1:35:51.720 --> 1:35:55.240 I just don't know if he's gonna return. He's still 1:35:55.280 --> 1:35:57.960 in the sixty day IL and he's dealing with not 1:35:58.000 --> 1:36:02.960 only an elbow injury but a shoal injury as well. 1:36:03.760 --> 1:36:06.320 I guess he started a throwing program in late July 1:36:06.479 --> 1:36:08.800 and is expected to pitch again this season. So maybe 1:36:08.800 --> 1:36:11.200 I'm wrong, but it just feels like a guy who 1:36:11.280 --> 1:36:16.080 hasn't really gotten going yet, maybe just in case, and 1:36:16.080 --> 1:36:17.920 they were like, we like him so much that we're 1:36:17.920 --> 1:36:20.160 just gonna take the chance if he is healthy, get 1:36:20.200 --> 1:36:24.160 him an hour program. So I think trading for Terrek 1:36:24.200 --> 1:36:26.840 Scoopl is fine ultimately, but I draw the line at 1:36:26.920 --> 1:36:29.759 getting Kris Kovich. I think now we're officially headed. 1:36:29.520 --> 1:36:30.440 To a lockout. 1:36:30.680 --> 1:36:33.479 Yeah, fair upside play. Just hope if he's healthy. If not, 1:36:33.520 --> 1:36:37.000 who cares you? Carlos Duryant, Yeah, that's one. 1:36:36.840 --> 1:36:40.839 Of the little swapperuni of Big leaguers. Here, Dalton Varshow 1:36:40.880 --> 1:36:43.560 goes from the Toronto Blue Jays to the Houston Astros. 1:36:43.640 --> 1:36:47.360 In return, Spencer Arraghetti goes from the Astros to the 1:36:47.360 --> 1:36:47.960 Blue Jays. 1:36:47.960 --> 1:36:48.200 Here. 1:36:48.920 --> 1:36:52.160 Interesting one here, I dig the var show ad for 1:36:52.320 --> 1:36:55.840 Houston because they were running out Lucas Spence in center field. 1:36:56.640 --> 1:37:00.000 Houston needed a center fielder. They just needed another bat 1:37:00.040 --> 1:37:02.200 at the bottom or middle to bottom of that lineup. 1:37:02.640 --> 1:37:05.920 If Varshow is their six hitting center fielder with the 1:37:06.080 --> 1:37:10.639 chance for thump in a more hitter friendly ballpark, playing 1:37:10.680 --> 1:37:13.000 gold Glove caliber defense in center as well, just from 1:37:13.080 --> 1:37:15.720 like a range factor perspective, I think this is a 1:37:15.720 --> 1:37:18.479 fun yet for Houston, and I think Houston like they 1:37:18.479 --> 1:37:22.559 didn't need to do much to be buyers at the deadline. 1:37:22.560 --> 1:37:24.600 I thought Dana Brown actually did a good job like 1:37:24.800 --> 1:37:27.759 not blowing up the farm system. I thought Kevin Alvaros 1:37:27.840 --> 1:37:29.760 was moving, to be honest with you, like the way 1:37:29.840 --> 1:37:32.639 Houston was talking, I thought he was going to sell 1:37:32.680 --> 1:37:35.280 their top five prospects in hopes of keeping his job. 1:37:35.800 --> 1:37:39.760 But they're playing outstanding baseball right now, and they look 1:37:39.840 --> 1:37:42.320 like a team that can really win the AL West 1:37:42.400 --> 1:37:45.040 is currently constructed, and they get better in centerfield with 1:37:45.120 --> 1:37:45.879 Tulton Barshow. 1:37:46.200 --> 1:37:49.840 They're hot, and they needed anyone to play center field. 1:37:49.960 --> 1:37:52.519 And I like the swing for a guy like Dalton 1:37:52.560 --> 1:37:55.960 Varshow because we do know that when Varshow is right, 1:37:56.120 --> 1:37:58.280 he's one of the more dynamic players in all of 1:37:58.360 --> 1:38:01.479 Major League Baseball because he can really defend his position 1:38:01.880 --> 1:38:05.080 at center field. But he for the Blue Jays last 1:38:05.160 --> 1:38:08.639 year seventy games in the regular season swatted twenty homers. 1:38:08.640 --> 1:38:10.639 Like that's the type of power he can also bring. 1:38:10.840 --> 1:38:13.080 You could also be a menace on the baits pass. 1:38:13.400 --> 1:38:16.960 And I look at to just center field production for 1:38:17.000 --> 1:38:21.120 the Houston Astros this season, there's seventy two WRC plus 1:38:21.120 --> 1:38:24.639 in center field ranks twenty ninth. They have a clean 1:38:24.920 --> 1:38:29.360 zero point zero f war in centerfield again, which is 1:38:29.400 --> 1:38:33.160 one of the worst in baseball. So at the very worst, 1:38:33.600 --> 1:38:36.280 Dalton Varshow is just going to give you the exact 1:38:36.320 --> 1:38:39.640 production that you're used to, or he could be a 1:38:39.680 --> 1:38:41.960 lot better. And he also was a beast in the 1:38:41.960 --> 1:38:44.519 postseason two. So Jack, if they do win the West 1:38:44.640 --> 1:38:47.519 or they make a wildcut or anything like that, maybe 1:38:47.520 --> 1:38:50.280 you get a focus Dalton Varshow in the playoffs. That 1:38:50.320 --> 1:38:52.400 could be a big time hitter for you. And all 1:38:52.439 --> 1:38:55.320 it really costs is Spencer Arraghedtty. And it just feels 1:38:55.320 --> 1:38:57.080 like the Astros have kind of been up and down 1:38:57.120 --> 1:39:00.160 with Araghetty and Ragedtty himself has been kind of up 1:39:00.200 --> 1:39:03.040 and down. You see the stuff, right, the strikeout rate 1:39:03.120 --> 1:39:05.240 is always really high, but then he has some games 1:39:05.240 --> 1:39:07.599 where he just gets pelted. He has no idea where 1:39:07.600 --> 1:39:10.000 the baseball is going. And I think they were just like, 1:39:10.080 --> 1:39:12.600 you know what, it feels like, it's not going to 1:39:12.680 --> 1:39:15.720 work here, Let's capitalize. Let's address a position and need, 1:39:15.760 --> 1:39:18.880 and that is center field. So I think it was 1:39:18.960 --> 1:39:21.439 ultimately a good move on both sides. Like I think 1:39:21.640 --> 1:39:26.840 the Blue Jays netting Aarraghetti, there's still clear potential in 1:39:26.920 --> 1:39:30.519 that arm. It's one of those where we'll see what happens. 1:39:30.560 --> 1:39:32.719 It's really tough to declare a winner right now because 1:39:32.760 --> 1:39:35.720 both of them need to bounce back, and I don't 1:39:35.720 --> 1:39:37.560 know who's going to bounce back, but at least for 1:39:37.600 --> 1:39:40.640 the Astros, you can't get any worse in centerfield. 1:39:41.439 --> 1:39:45.799 Correct, Alright, You got any other thoughts on Araghedty or Varsha. 1:39:46.000 --> 1:39:48.559 Now, I think was Nesky coming back made Araghetty maybe 1:39:48.560 --> 1:39:50.800 a little bit more expendable as well. It's just kind 1:39:50.800 --> 1:39:54.160 of like that last rotation spot. And yeah, now Carlos 1:39:54.160 --> 1:39:56.600 Carrea is not rolling out potentially trying to return by 1:39:56.640 --> 1:39:58.240 the end of the year, so maybe that can help 1:39:58.280 --> 1:40:01.080 them down the stretch. I think the Astros were swinging 1:40:01.080 --> 1:40:03.320 a little bit bigger, trying to find a bigger bat, 1:40:03.320 --> 1:40:07.439 but asking prices. We're tall, and I was surprised similarly, Jack, 1:40:07.479 --> 1:40:11.040 that they had the discipline to not overpay for a 1:40:11.080 --> 1:40:13.280 team that like, yeah, you just should add, but I 1:40:13.280 --> 1:40:15.519 don't think you should do anything crazy here, as you're 1:40:15.600 --> 1:40:17.880 just starting to rebuild that farm back up and may 1:40:17.920 --> 1:40:19.439 have a turnover in the front office. 1:40:19.600 --> 1:40:22.360 Real quick, Jack, before we move on to the next trade, 1:40:22.439 --> 1:40:24.559 I really want to answer this comment because we didn't 1:40:24.600 --> 1:40:27.840 touch on the Foster Griffin return. We just got all 1:40:27.920 --> 1:40:29.760 hyped up for the Guardians to the fact that they 1:40:29.840 --> 1:40:32.280 got Foster Griffin and then we found out about the 1:40:32.320 --> 1:40:34.719 return later. So this comes to us from l Walt 1:40:35.080 --> 1:40:37.360 to seven in our YouTube live. First of all, thank 1:40:37.400 --> 1:40:39.960 you to everybody joining. Got a bunch of people in here. 1:40:39.960 --> 1:40:42.120 The best way to sport if you've been enjoying the stream, 1:40:42.439 --> 1:40:45.880 just smash the like button and subscribe button. And also 1:40:46.040 --> 1:40:49.040 another good reason to subscribe. We have so much great 1:40:49.040 --> 1:40:51.760 stuff planned on this deadline moving forward. This will not 1:40:51.800 --> 1:40:54.000 be the last deadline episode you hear from us, and 1:40:54.040 --> 1:40:56.120 we got a lot of great guests planned this week 1:40:56.160 --> 1:40:58.599 as well to break down the deadline. So again this 1:40:58.680 --> 1:41:01.720 comment see a lot of PEO people hating on the 1:41:01.760 --> 1:41:05.599 Foster Griffin return. I don't understand why the Nats committed 1:41:05.640 --> 1:41:09.360 to a quantity over quality approach to fix their lack 1:41:09.400 --> 1:41:11.800 of arms in the system and they only, at the 1:41:11.880 --> 1:41:14.559 end of the day get two months of Foster Griffin 1:41:14.840 --> 1:41:17.280 podcast B. I don't know if you have it readily available, 1:41:17.320 --> 1:41:21.759 but I would love to hear both you and Arm's 1:41:21.840 --> 1:41:23.000 opinion on this return. 1:41:23.439 --> 1:41:26.760 So the return real quick is three pictures in an outfielder. 1:41:26.800 --> 1:41:31.000 The three pictures will Dion, Josh Hartele, and Ken Deglees 1:41:31.280 --> 1:41:35.479 Verguez I think, and then outfielder Nick Mitchell is going 1:41:35.520 --> 1:41:38.519 back as well. Dion and Hardle are the guys that 1:41:39.160 --> 1:41:42.040 I think there's a lot known about those two. Dion 1:41:42.200 --> 1:41:45.479 is an upper miners guy, and then Josh Hardle former 1:41:45.520 --> 1:41:49.840 Wake Forest guy who was a pirate if I'm not mistaken, yep, 1:41:49.960 --> 1:41:51.880 and it is way there in the Horwitz deal with 1:41:51.960 --> 1:41:52.960 Louis Ortiz. 1:41:53.240 --> 1:41:56.000 Yeah, and that three team deal and then dealt again. 1:41:56.400 --> 1:41:59.479 Hardle is kind of a funky left he that I 1:41:59.479 --> 1:42:01.160 think could end just being a back end of the 1:42:01.240 --> 1:42:03.920 rotation ending Zeter, He's continued to be effective at double A. 1:42:04.160 --> 1:42:05.559 So I think that's a decent get. 1:42:05.600 --> 1:42:07.160 And then I think we were seeing the Nats just 1:42:07.160 --> 1:42:11.160 continue to pursue these like high octane stuff relief types, 1:42:11.200 --> 1:42:13.600 and like that's what they get with Virguez. 1:42:13.880 --> 1:42:16.599 I mean, he's got a lively fastball. 1:42:16.600 --> 1:42:19.880 It's ninety eight miles an hour from a really low release, 1:42:19.960 --> 1:42:22.720 like a four to nine release, which is crazy. It's 1:42:22.760 --> 1:42:26.200 like almost a foot below league average from that velocity. 1:42:26.280 --> 1:42:26.960 That's super rare. 1:42:27.000 --> 1:42:28.599 Like if you do a query of how many fastballs 1:42:28.600 --> 1:42:30.679 are going ninety seven plus miles per hour from a 1:42:30.720 --> 1:42:31.360 sub five. 1:42:31.160 --> 1:42:33.360 Foot release, I don't think you're gonna find maybe any. 1:42:33.920 --> 1:42:36.960 So that's a really unique reliever there with this crazy 1:42:37.000 --> 1:42:39.360 cutter off of that. So I think that's a guy 1:42:39.400 --> 1:42:41.600 that you look at potentially could fast track to a 1:42:41.600 --> 1:42:44.760 big league relief opportunity. There you get the high floor 1:42:44.840 --> 1:42:47.400 left hander. Mitchell's kind of just a throw in. But 1:42:47.680 --> 1:42:50.200 I think overall, like people may be expecting a little 1:42:50.200 --> 1:42:54.600 bit more for you know, a bigger ticket arm, But 1:42:54.920 --> 1:42:57.519 I agree with with the original sentiment, which is they 1:42:57.520 --> 1:43:00.160 want more volume and you get a couple guys that 1:43:00.240 --> 1:43:02.519 I think are high probability big leaguers in different ways, 1:43:03.280 --> 1:43:05.280 and even like a Will Dion, I think there's just 1:43:05.400 --> 1:43:08.240 so some intrigue there as well. I don't I don't 1:43:08.240 --> 1:43:10.439 hate it at all. You could have maybe got one 1:43:10.720 --> 1:43:13.080 higher impact player. But again, I think the Nationals are 1:43:13.080 --> 1:43:15.559 looking at relief arms and you know, closer to big 1:43:15.640 --> 1:43:18.240 league ready arms that can help them sooner rather than later. 1:43:18.439 --> 1:43:22.120 Dion's good depth and then high octane potential reliever. And 1:43:23.360 --> 1:43:25.840 I want to make sure, I said Verguez, So. 1:43:25.840 --> 1:43:29.160 You don't think the Nats should be disappointed in this return? 1:43:30.240 --> 1:43:31.479 Yeah, I don't think so. 1:43:31.960 --> 1:43:35.040 I mean, it's at the end of the day, it's 1:43:35.080 --> 1:43:38.920 a rental pitch ability Lefty that he's been really really good. 1:43:39.080 --> 1:43:42.160 But I think it was the quantity over quality as 1:43:42.200 --> 1:43:43.960 that was alluded to, and I think that's kind of 1:43:43.960 --> 1:43:45.960 been the Tiboni approach in general with most of the 1:43:45.960 --> 1:43:47.640 trades that they've made. 1:43:47.840 --> 1:43:51.000 Yeah, all right, we've got two more deals off the 1:43:51.000 --> 1:43:53.040 top of our head. By the way, how about a 1:43:53.040 --> 1:43:55.960 minor leaguer for minor leaguer swap here Seth Johnson for 1:43:56.080 --> 1:43:59.680 Colby Thomas. Seth Johnson goes from the Phillies to the 1:43:59.800 --> 1:44:03.080 A for outfield er Colby Thomas. Thomas has some big 1:44:03.160 --> 1:44:05.200 league runs, Seth Johnson has some big league run as 1:44:05.200 --> 1:44:08.519 well out of the Philly bullpen. So Thomas is added 1:44:08.560 --> 1:44:11.880 to the Phillies, and Jason Stark also mentions Philly was 1:44:11.920 --> 1:44:14.880 looking for another reliever or starter but ran out of time. 1:44:15.479 --> 1:44:17.760 I wonder what that means. I wonder how big a 1:44:17.760 --> 1:44:21.760 fish they were looking to land. Philadelphia could probably use 1:44:21.840 --> 1:44:25.960 one more starting pitcher here. But been a very fun 1:44:25.960 --> 1:44:29.240 to watch how Philly is operated at the deadline so far, 1:44:29.520 --> 1:44:32.439 and it was I think more subdued than a lot 1:44:32.439 --> 1:44:35.439 of people were anticipating. But they go and get a rise, 1:44:35.600 --> 1:44:37.760 and they go and get Rayley, and here they had 1:44:37.800 --> 1:44:40.280 Colby Thomas as a bench outfield bat which they could 1:44:40.280 --> 1:44:42.000 certainly utilize. 1:44:42.240 --> 1:44:45.440 Yeah. I think it's just good depth right handed athlete. 1:44:46.160 --> 1:44:47.880 I've always been a little bit, well, we're on him, 1:44:47.880 --> 1:44:50.320 but the guy's mashed in the upper miners, and you 1:44:50.479 --> 1:44:52.519 just added a guy that can play all three outfield 1:44:52.520 --> 1:44:55.840 spots and give you some depth. And I think any 1:44:55.960 --> 1:44:59.439 arm that they could possibly get for Sacramento and for the. 1:44:59.520 --> 1:45:03.360 Fox work, yeah, Hey, like I guess The question is 1:45:03.400 --> 1:45:06.639 do you want Colby Thomas or Brian de Lacruz, Derek Hill, 1:45:06.640 --> 1:45:08.920 Gabriel Ringconis Junior? And I think the answer right now 1:45:08.960 --> 1:45:09.799 is Colby Thomas. 1:45:09.880 --> 1:45:12.360 It might be it might be Thomas, Brian de la 1:45:12.400 --> 1:45:13.519 Cruz kind of raking, right. 1:45:13.479 --> 1:45:18.320 He's been raking for eleven It's it's funny when you 1:45:18.320 --> 1:45:20.760 were listing off those dames, Jack, I'm like, hey, those 1:45:20.800 --> 1:45:22.599 are some of the best hitters in the Phillies lineup 1:45:22.640 --> 1:45:23.640 right now with Derek. 1:45:23.400 --> 1:45:26.680 Hill, not Ringconis. Ringcon has hit a home run and 1:45:26.680 --> 1:45:27.599 then he just went dormant. 1:45:27.920 --> 1:45:30.280 I'm glad you brought him up, not Ringcotis. I think 1:45:30.280 --> 1:45:33.559 it's Colby Thomas or Ringconas, And I would choose almost 1:45:33.600 --> 1:45:35.320 anybody else except Riingcotas right now. 1:45:36.160 --> 1:45:36.680 Yeah. 1:45:36.800 --> 1:45:39.240 So, uh, two more trades that we want to get 1:45:39.240 --> 1:45:43.280 to here. Number one is Joe Adell. Joe Adell goes 1:45:43.320 --> 1:45:45.600 from the Angels to the Cleveland Guardians and this is 1:45:45.640 --> 1:45:48.560 part of the Guardian by the Guardians again. They go 1:45:48.600 --> 1:45:51.479 and get Nathaniel Lowe, they go and get Foster Griffin, 1:45:51.600 --> 1:45:55.520 and they also add Joe Adele. Adele has obviously experienced 1:45:55.840 --> 1:45:58.040 a bit of a downturn from what he was doing 1:45:58.760 --> 1:46:01.759 last year, but he does still have sixteen home runs 1:46:01.760 --> 1:46:03.479 this year. I saw a note he would be leading 1:46:03.520 --> 1:46:07.000 the Marl or the Guardian lineup here in terms of 1:46:07.000 --> 1:46:10.080 home runs, and Joe Adell is a very, very athletic 1:46:10.240 --> 1:46:12.479 dude that just adds an element of pop to this 1:46:12.520 --> 1:46:16.120 Guardian lineup. I thought Chris Antonetti and the Guardians did 1:46:16.400 --> 1:46:19.160 a pretty good job here today at this deadline. 1:46:20.240 --> 1:46:23.360 Yeah, the only thing about Joe Adell is that he's 1:46:23.400 --> 1:46:26.360 the most anti Guardians player I've ever seen. Is he 1:46:26.439 --> 1:46:30.840 not like a guy who has nice play discipline, takes 1:46:30.880 --> 1:46:35.520 good abs, does a job, you know, normally pretty good defensively. 1:46:35.520 --> 1:46:37.360 And I feel like Joe Adell is kind of just 1:46:37.400 --> 1:46:39.760 built on his tools. There's a lot of swing and 1:46:39.760 --> 1:46:42.679 miss in his game. He's walking only three point five 1:46:42.720 --> 1:46:45.000 percent of the time. That might be the lowest in 1:46:45.040 --> 1:46:47.439 all of Major League Baseball. But at the same time, 1:46:48.080 --> 1:46:50.760 haven't we kind of been waiting for the Guardians to 1:46:50.920 --> 1:46:53.880 take a swing on a player like Joe Adell with 1:46:53.960 --> 1:46:56.120 a ton of tools and maybe they could teach him 1:46:56.160 --> 1:46:59.400 the guard Ball way. Imagine the Joe Adell tools combined 1:46:59.439 --> 1:47:02.479 with guarda that could be a Hall of Famer. Obviously 1:47:02.520 --> 1:47:05.880 it's going a little bit too far, but I when 1:47:05.920 --> 1:47:08.640 it first came in, I was like, what, that's the 1:47:08.720 --> 1:47:11.880 least Guardians player I could have imagined, which almost makes 1:47:11.880 --> 1:47:13.880 it a Guardian's move. At the same time, do you 1:47:13.920 --> 1:47:15.880 understand the Galaxy brain I'm going through your arm? 1:47:16.240 --> 1:47:19.800 Well, I think there's an even more surface level, straightforward explanation, 1:47:19.920 --> 1:47:23.240 which is threeho three three thirty eight, five seventy one 1:47:23.280 --> 1:47:24.599 against left handed pitching for. 1:47:24.560 --> 1:47:28.720 A nine to ten ops. And that's the Guardians sorely, 1:47:28.840 --> 1:47:29.799 sorely needed. 1:47:30.080 --> 1:47:32.400 I also do to your point on that, though, Peter, 1:47:32.920 --> 1:47:35.439 they have been trying to buck the typical trend, like 1:47:35.439 --> 1:47:38.200 they went Super Power with Heavy on some of the 1:47:38.280 --> 1:47:39.040 last drafts. 1:47:39.760 --> 1:47:42.040 They they probably want to balance things out. 1:47:42.120 --> 1:47:43.880 But you bring in a Dell, which, by the way, 1:47:44.479 --> 1:47:46.320 and I know we already talked about better process now 1:47:46.320 --> 1:47:47.800 for the interest they should have traded them last year. 1:47:47.800 --> 1:47:49.000 Imagine how much more they would have got. 1:47:49.280 --> 1:47:52.160 But you bring in a guy that can absolutely demolish 1:47:52.240 --> 1:47:54.640 the short side the platoon for you here, and I 1:47:54.680 --> 1:47:57.080 think that's extremely valuable for the Guards, and you get 1:47:57.160 --> 1:48:00.519 another year of control after this one. So I think 1:48:00.560 --> 1:48:03.000 with how good he's been against left handed pitching, Joe 1:48:03.200 --> 1:48:05.840 is ten homers and one hundred and thirty plate appearances 1:48:05.880 --> 1:48:08.360 against left he's compared to six homers and three hundred 1:48:08.360 --> 1:48:12.360 and twenty six played appearances against righty's. It's a stark, 1:48:12.479 --> 1:48:14.960 stark difference. But yeah, if he could hone it on 1:48:15.000 --> 1:48:16.640 the play discipline, of course, that would that would help 1:48:16.720 --> 1:48:19.040 him make a difference. Cozar going the other way, like 1:48:19.320 --> 1:48:21.960 some catching depth in the organization, high probability big leaguer, 1:48:22.360 --> 1:48:24.479 with how the glove has continued to come along, took 1:48:24.520 --> 1:48:26.759 a step forward with the bat as well. 1:48:26.960 --> 1:48:29.519 I don't think anything super crazy to me. 1:48:29.600 --> 1:48:33.080 He's kind of in between that backup catcher and starting 1:48:33.120 --> 1:48:35.439 catcher mold so it's kind of like a second division dealer. 1:48:35.600 --> 1:48:37.920 But those guys are still i mean, high probability, filling 1:48:37.960 --> 1:48:41.600 a role, not a bad get in return for the Angels. 1:48:42.360 --> 1:48:45.280 Yeah, I am curious to see how they kind of 1:48:45.280 --> 1:48:48.400 handle the catching situation moving forward, and I guess Pat 1:48:48.439 --> 1:48:50.840 Bailey's the answer here, and Hedges has been way better. 1:48:50.880 --> 1:48:53.920 But you know, trading bow Naylor and that Yoho and 1:48:54.000 --> 1:48:58.800 Blake Perkins deal and then also trading catching Prospect and 1:48:58.880 --> 1:49:01.840 Cozart as well. I'm curious if they're pushing all the 1:49:01.920 --> 1:49:07.120 chips in sorry on uh yeah, thank you. I'm curious 1:49:07.120 --> 1:49:09.439 if they are pushing all the chips in on Patrick 1:49:09.479 --> 1:49:12.160 Bailey being kind of their everyday catcher moving forward, because 1:49:12.200 --> 1:49:14.479 hedges he's probably going to hang it up at some 1:49:14.479 --> 1:49:15.720 point soon, you would have to think. 1:49:15.720 --> 1:49:17.719 So now I think he's just hitting his prime. 1:49:17.880 --> 1:49:20.479 Yeah, that's raking offensively. He's hitting his prime. But he's 1:49:20.479 --> 1:49:22.120 got to be a DH and is good enough to 1:49:22.120 --> 1:49:23.840 be a DH. 1:49:23.240 --> 1:49:25.519 Before before we move on to the next trade, I 1:49:25.520 --> 1:49:27.400 want to shout out this comment. Thank you so much 1:49:27.400 --> 1:49:30.599 for the donation from or Force zero zero just getting 1:49:30.640 --> 1:49:32.839 off work, excited to catch up on all the trades 1:49:33.120 --> 1:49:36.320 and hear all the discussion. You guys rock. Thank you 1:49:36.560 --> 1:49:40.040 so much for that incredibly nice donation and for the comment, 1:49:40.120 --> 1:49:42.400 and again thank you to everybody joining us here live 1:49:42.439 --> 1:49:45.400 on YouTube. We're going to go for probably about ten 1:49:45.439 --> 1:49:47.680 more minutes cover the rest of the trades, and then 1:49:47.720 --> 1:49:50.280 we are going to continue to do episodes. So this 1:49:50.439 --> 1:49:52.280 is far from the last time you're going to be 1:49:52.320 --> 1:49:55.320 hearing our opinions on these trades. It's more just we're 1:49:55.360 --> 1:49:58.920 going over instant reactions, so make sure to subscribe and 1:49:59.040 --> 1:50:01.720 like on YouTube and for those listening on audio afterwards, 1:50:01.880 --> 1:50:03.559 best way to support five star review. 1:50:04.800 --> 1:50:06.840 Last trade that we want to bring up here, and 1:50:06.880 --> 1:50:09.760 then I think our next episode that we should do 1:50:10.000 --> 1:50:12.400 on the Just Baseball Show is Deadline Winners, and then 1:50:12.400 --> 1:50:14.719 the next one after that would probably be Deadline Losers. 1:50:15.680 --> 1:50:18.639 Just kind of let the cake bake a little bit longer. 1:50:19.640 --> 1:50:23.479 But yeah, but we do have one more trade, and 1:50:23.560 --> 1:50:26.080 the Cubs go and acquire a back end reliever that 1:50:26.120 --> 1:50:29.080 has been a strikeout machine as of late. Ryan Zephyrjon 1:50:29.560 --> 1:50:33.400 goes from the Angels to the Cubs. Moyses Biasteros, how 1:50:33.400 --> 1:50:35.840 about this fall from grace? Bias Steros goes from the 1:50:35.840 --> 1:50:38.639 Cubs to the Angels along with Mason maguire for Ryan 1:50:38.760 --> 1:50:41.760 Zephyr John a guy who is walking the world, mind you, 1:50:42.200 --> 1:50:46.439 But Moe Baller has seen his value evaporate, it seems 1:50:46.520 --> 1:50:48.800 over the last three hundred and sixty five days. And 1:50:48.880 --> 1:50:51.080 Bias Steraros had himself a heck of a start to 1:50:51.120 --> 1:50:53.599 this season as well. He was looking like a masher. 1:50:53.680 --> 1:50:57.559 Are them? What happened to bias Steros's value? 1:50:57.800 --> 1:51:00.880 So this was an argument I've had so many times 1:51:00.880 --> 1:51:02.200 with the Cubs fans when we were a little bit 1:51:02.280 --> 1:51:04.519 later to put him into the top one hundred. And 1:51:04.920 --> 1:51:07.519 this is the risk, This is the conundrum of the 1:51:08.120 --> 1:51:12.880 that first short catcher that is not very good defensively 1:51:12.960 --> 1:51:15.080 and I thought it was like a forty great at 1:51:15.120 --> 1:51:18.680 best defensively. Is if Bias Saros does not rake like 1:51:18.800 --> 1:51:22.640 absolutely rake or make a mega leap defensively, there's not 1:51:22.680 --> 1:51:24.920 a lot of fallback options here. And that's always always 1:51:24.920 --> 1:51:28.720 looking at with prospects. It's like you have the high 1:51:28.800 --> 1:51:31.280 end outcome, but like, what's the secondary outcome or the 1:51:31.360 --> 1:51:33.320 tertiary outcome. It still could be a big league role 1:51:33.360 --> 1:51:37.240 for Biasteros, it was kind of above average big league 1:51:37.280 --> 1:51:40.800 bat or nothing. And with him like and it's hit 1:51:40.840 --> 1:51:42.840 over power, there's a lot of pressure in different ways. 1:51:42.960 --> 1:51:44.599 And once it became more clear that he just wasn't 1:51:44.600 --> 1:51:47.639 going to be able to provide I think even serviceable defense. 1:51:48.479 --> 1:51:50.840 He's too short to play first. So now you have 1:51:50.880 --> 1:51:53.599 a DH. If you're a DH, you've got to put 1:51:53.640 --> 1:51:55.840 up a one thirty WRC plus or it ain't gonna 1:51:55.840 --> 1:51:58.320 be worth it, or you've got to be catching once 1:51:58.400 --> 1:52:01.080 or twice a week and being there, and I think 1:52:01.080 --> 1:52:03.439 that was the problem. What I can't answer is what 1:52:03.479 --> 1:52:06.679 has gone on with Biasteros this year, Where a guy 1:52:06.720 --> 1:52:08.679 that is one of the more hitterish players I've seen 1:52:08.720 --> 1:52:10.320 in a long time, and why he was still you know, 1:52:10.320 --> 1:52:12.400 that borderline top one hundred and eventually top one hundred 1:52:12.439 --> 1:52:15.960 guy has just lost his power. His game power has 1:52:16.000 --> 1:52:18.519 just been gone six seventy seven oh ps. I think 1:52:18.520 --> 1:52:20.960 this year he's just blatantly struggling. I don't know if 1:52:20.960 --> 1:52:23.760 there's something going on health wise or whatever, but I 1:52:23.800 --> 1:52:27.559 haven't really seen a hitter of that ability regress to 1:52:27.600 --> 1:52:28.679 the degree that he has. 1:52:28.880 --> 1:52:30.840 That said, in a relief deal. 1:52:31.160 --> 1:52:33.760 When the Angels are in the business of adding just 1:52:33.840 --> 1:52:35.920 any big leager as they can, I still think this is. 1:52:35.920 --> 1:52:37.640 A big league bat Biasteros. 1:52:37.880 --> 1:52:40.559 And whether it's a vogel Bach type of bat or 1:52:40.800 --> 1:52:43.520 you know, a guy that can actually be an above average, 1:52:43.640 --> 1:52:46.920 you know, dh offensive piece that can maybe catch once 1:52:47.000 --> 1:52:49.320 or twice a week is to be determined. But for 1:52:49.439 --> 1:52:51.320 a reliever, I think it's a good shot to take. 1:52:51.360 --> 1:52:53.240 For still a twenty two year old guy who's Kobe 1:52:53.360 --> 1:52:53.679 just had. 1:52:53.560 --> 1:52:54.240 A lost season. 1:52:55.000 --> 1:52:58.200 Yeah, we've got a couple of comments here that are 1:52:58.240 --> 1:53:01.599 asking for certain ross turns that we didn't really get 1:53:01.640 --> 1:53:04.400 to dive into here. First one is Jeff Hoffman that 1:53:04.439 --> 1:53:06.040 we want to get into and thank you very much 1:53:06.040 --> 1:53:09.760 for the donation as well Jeff Hoffman. Again, he goes 1:53:09.800 --> 1:53:13.679 from Toronto to Minnesota and the return from Jeff Hoffman 1:53:14.080 --> 1:53:16.559 or the return from Minnesota to Toronto for Jeff Hoffman 1:53:16.920 --> 1:53:19.960 left handed Dason Hill, right hander John Klein, and a 1:53:20.040 --> 1:53:22.439 Maori Pania as well. 1:53:22.600 --> 1:53:23.960 So is Dason Hill. 1:53:24.040 --> 1:53:30.920 Who else John Klein and Damari Panya. Dason Hill is 1:53:31.000 --> 1:53:33.320 kind of crazy, yeah, real. 1:53:33.240 --> 1:53:36.479 Quick, though, Jeff Hoffman has been one of the best 1:53:36.479 --> 1:53:39.040 relievers in baseball ever since he was one of the 1:53:39.040 --> 1:53:42.639 worst relievers in baseball. We remember, excuse me, Jeff Hoffman 1:53:42.680 --> 1:53:45.040 started off the season really poor yet an Era at 1:53:45.080 --> 1:53:48.439 five and Blue Jays fans were just so sick of them, 1:53:48.880 --> 1:53:51.519 and then really, from June on, this guy has been 1:53:51.760 --> 1:53:54.760 otherworldly dominant. I just saw the other day that he 1:53:54.840 --> 1:53:57.919 gave up his first earned run over his last fifteen 1:53:58.040 --> 1:54:02.120 or so appearances on the So while I'm interested to 1:54:02.160 --> 1:54:05.599 hear about the package, Jeff Hoffman is a great get 1:54:05.640 --> 1:54:08.639 for the Twins when their biggest need is bullpen help, 1:54:08.640 --> 1:54:09.679 and this is a great ad. 1:54:10.439 --> 1:54:13.519 Yeah, And I mean the stuff and the ceiling and 1:54:13.560 --> 1:54:16.639 the impact that he can have is huge and for team, 1:54:16.680 --> 1:54:18.120 as you mentioned, sorely needed it. 1:54:18.360 --> 1:54:21.559 But Hill is a guy that upsidewise excited. 1:54:21.760 --> 1:54:23.599 They're just kind of surprised to see moved and excited 1:54:23.640 --> 1:54:28.320 because Johnny King really fun, stuffy, left handed pitching prospect 1:54:28.320 --> 1:54:30.640 that is awesome in the j system, and Hill is 1:54:30.960 --> 1:54:33.240 kind of in the same breath. King has made more 1:54:33.280 --> 1:54:37.160 progress to throw more strikes and I'm excited to see 1:54:37.160 --> 1:54:39.880 if Hill can now do that in the Jays organization 1:54:40.040 --> 1:54:43.480 as well, because we're talking about a six foot five, long, 1:54:43.600 --> 1:54:48.040 lanky like slender lefty that averages ninety six with the 1:54:48.080 --> 1:54:51.800 fastball and then has a trio breaking ball is working 1:54:51.840 --> 1:54:53.560 off of it a change up as well. The stuff, 1:54:53.600 --> 1:54:57.880 I mean it is big league middle rotation stuff. It's 1:54:58.000 --> 1:55:00.960 just been a real challenge for him to throw strikes 1:55:00.960 --> 1:55:02.800 and you can walk up to like six per nine. 1:55:03.120 --> 1:55:05.440 So if Hill at twenty years old, can find a 1:55:05.480 --> 1:55:08.240 little bit more consistency, I mean, the ceiling is sky high. 1:55:08.480 --> 1:55:10.760 You have the fallback though with Hill of a leverage 1:55:10.920 --> 1:55:12.160 you know, left handed relief arm. 1:55:12.280 --> 1:55:15.080 But when you've got the trio of breaking balls, a 1:55:15.120 --> 1:55:17.320 four seemer and a change up from a six to 1:55:17.400 --> 1:55:19.320 five lefty, I'm going to give this guy as much 1:55:19.360 --> 1:55:22.040 runway to try to start as possible, huge high ceiling, 1:55:22.120 --> 1:55:24.600 you know, piece to be able to add cope. 1:55:25.680 --> 1:55:30.080 I dig it, all right, I think we're good on these. 1:55:30.120 --> 1:55:32.800 Oh the other return that we were asked about was 1:55:33.040 --> 1:55:36.320 possibly touching on the Lars Neotbar return. Did you see 1:55:36.360 --> 1:55:37.280 who newt bar? 1:55:37.680 --> 1:55:37.880 Yeah? 1:55:37.880 --> 1:55:40.480 I think it was Daniel Egan was one of the 1:55:40.560 --> 1:55:41.560 one of the players moved. 1:55:41.560 --> 1:55:43.200 There is he really? 1:55:43.400 --> 1:55:45.280 And Egan of Severance? 1:55:46.920 --> 1:55:50.480 I miss Severance? Great show, correct, I heard? 1:55:50.520 --> 1:55:52.840 I think Ben Stiller they're filming again. I can't wait. 1:55:52.880 --> 1:55:54.440 That is Yeah, Thank goodness. That's one of those that 1:55:54.440 --> 1:55:55.920 I'm actually I count the days for. 1:55:56.360 --> 1:55:56.880 Yeah. 1:55:57.000 --> 1:55:58.720 Yeah, Egan's one of those. We got to ignore the 1:55:58.720 --> 1:55:59.800 surface level numbers. 1:55:59.560 --> 1:56:02.520 Because he has thrown Amarillo, which is the PCL essentially, 1:56:02.520 --> 1:56:04.520 even though it's double A, it's like the same drill. 1:56:04.600 --> 1:56:08.600 There high probability back into the rotation type of starter six' 1:56:08.680 --> 1:56:12.880 four two and ten, pounds sturdy build like fastball is 1:56:13.520 --> 1:56:15.760 a little bit of the concern there where it's very, 1:56:15.840 --> 1:56:20.040 stock BUT i love all the. Secondaries you've got a 1:56:20.080 --> 1:56:23.560 cutter to, bridge a gyro, slider and then a downer 1:56:23.640 --> 1:56:26.280 curveball off of. That he can really spin the, baseball 1:56:26.440 --> 1:56:28.320 and he still continues with a change up here and. 1:56:28.400 --> 1:56:31.600 There BUT i love the trio OF i guess it's 1:56:31.640 --> 1:56:33.560 two breaking balls and the cutter off of it THAT 1:56:33.640 --> 1:56:35.720 i think gives him a great chance to be a 1:56:35.760 --> 1:56:37.320 back end of the rotation type of innings. 1:56:37.360 --> 1:56:39.560 Eater SO i thought that wasn't a bad. Get just 1:56:39.600 --> 1:56:40.200 get him off. 1:56:40.080 --> 1:56:41.960 Of the moon, there AND i think the numbers are 1:56:41.960 --> 1:56:44.640 going to be a lot better in The cardinals.

One in terms of. 1:59:20.520 --> 1:59:22.440 The trade in a, VACUUM i still think that is 1:59:22.520 --> 1:59:25.840 my favorite, trade as crazy as that. Sounds but like 1:59:26.360 --> 1:59:31.280 knee jerk, WINNER i feel really good about what The cubs. 1:59:31.280 --> 1:59:33.200 DID i feel we've been asking The cubs to do 1:59:33.240 --> 1:59:35.080 a lot and they kind of volume shot this thing 1:59:35.120 --> 1:59:35.560 and it did a. 1:59:35.600 --> 1:59:38.800 Lot SO i am really happy with how. 1:59:38.800 --> 1:59:41.720 Much The cubs, have like how much The cubs did 1:59:42.000 --> 1:59:45.000 to bolster in several different areas to make their team better. 1:59:45.040 --> 1:59:46.520 HERE i think it's hard not to be excited about. 1:59:46.560 --> 1:59:51.400 That Cool, peter he did a. Winner i'll do a, 1:59:51.400 --> 1:59:56.400 loser a team we haven't talked about at, all WHICH 1:59:56.480 --> 1:59:59.600 i think is why they're a. Loser The rangers whole 1:59:59.640 --> 2:00:04.560 deadline and confused. Me, yeah because, originally like three days, 2:00:04.560 --> 2:00:07.560 ago before This astro, series they were leading the division 2:00:08.160 --> 2:00:10.040 and it seemed like they were going to. Buy AND 2:00:10.080 --> 2:00:12.280 i even came on the show AND i, said The 2:00:12.360 --> 2:00:14.960 rangers are typically aggressive during this type of. Period it's 2:00:14.960 --> 2:00:17.200 like don't sleep on. Them don't sleep on The. Rangers 2:00:17.840 --> 2:00:20.440 and then they get belt to ass from The astros 2:00:21.120 --> 2:00:23.920 and then it starts coming out that they might sell 2:00:24.200 --> 2:00:25.880 or they might can you guys still hear? ME i 2:00:25.920 --> 2:00:28.120 know my? Okay so you can sell him? 2:00:28.120 --> 2:00:30.640 Her, yeah mean you got the bubble thumbs up and you, 2:00:30.720 --> 2:00:31.960 froze but just keep. 2:00:32.000 --> 2:00:34.320 Talking but it's exactly what The rangers did at the. 2:00:34.320 --> 2:00:37.760 Deadline they froze because they came out and, said we're 2:00:37.800 --> 2:00:42.120 actually going to start listening on other like on A 2:00:42.200 --> 2:00:45.240 jacob De gram on somebody. ELSE i don't know why it's, 2:00:45.240 --> 2:00:47.800 frozen BUT i want to stay on this point BECAUSE 2:00:47.840 --> 2:00:52.440 i think it's. IMPORTANT i don't understand why The rangers 2:00:52.840 --> 2:00:55.880 kind of wanted to sell and they were, listening then 2:00:55.960 --> 2:00:59.200 didn't actually sell anyone outside Of Josh, smith and then 2:00:59.280 --> 2:01:02.600 didn't buy, either and they just stood pat for a 2:01:02.640 --> 2:01:06.120 team that could have used an injection of life. Here 2:01:06.600 --> 2:01:12.720 and this is again the Return Josh, Smith Josh Stephen Adam. 2:01:12.720 --> 2:01:17.200 MACO i, mean that's a pretty lame. Deadline and of 2:01:17.240 --> 2:01:20.320 course maybe my computer took all that it could AND 2:01:20.360 --> 2:01:22.640 i froze out. TOO i don't know, why but, yeah 2:01:22.720 --> 2:01:24.240 not a great deadline for The rangers at. 2:01:24.240 --> 2:01:28.240 ALL i will send us out on a happy. Note 2:01:28.320 --> 2:01:30.640 i've got two winners THAT i want to highlight. Here 2:01:31.160 --> 2:01:33.320 number one is The White. SOX i think The White 2:01:33.320 --> 2:01:36.600 sox got better in three. Phases going to Get Louis 2:01:36.680 --> 2:01:40.560 castillo was pretty. Fun going to Get Wascar brazobon was pretty, 2:01:40.560 --> 2:01:43.440 fun and then as, well going to Get Brenton doyle 2:01:43.640 --> 2:01:46.120 is an interesting lottery. Ticket But castillo a guy that 2:01:46.200 --> 2:01:49.720 you guys hit on obviously On sunday. Night, CASTILLO i 2:01:49.720 --> 2:01:51.680 don't want to say is a sleeping giant because he's 2:01:51.680 --> 2:01:54.160 not The Louis castill that he was two three years. 2:01:54.200 --> 2:01:56.480 Ago but this, guy year in and year, out has 2:01:56.560 --> 2:02:00.160 been one of the more consistent starting pitchers in, baseball. 2:02:00.400 --> 2:02:05.080 Honestly And castillo getting out of The Sir Anthony dominguez, 2:02:05.200 --> 2:02:08.920 contract That dominguez deal doesn't look that good. Anymore and 2:02:08.960 --> 2:02:11.200 then also going to Get Boston, smith who was very 2:02:11.200 --> 2:02:14.280 impressive in the minor. Leagues you know it was it 2:02:14.320 --> 2:02:16.760 was kind of a steep price to pay For. Seattle 2:02:16.800 --> 2:02:19.240 but at the end of the, day Thought Luis castile 2:02:19.280 --> 2:02:20.880 was a good pickup for The White sox along With 2:02:20.960 --> 2:02:24.360 brazabon along With doyle and then the other. One the 2:02:24.400 --> 2:02:27.360 pirates needed to effectively build a bullpen from. Scratch and 2:02:27.400 --> 2:02:29.560 the pirates built a bullpen from, scratch and they go 2:02:29.600 --> 2:02:32.680 and Get, dovall they go and Get, weaver they go 2:02:32.720 --> 2:02:35.680 and Get boker And i'm missing one, More Kirby. Yates 2:02:36.240 --> 2:02:39.040 that's a hell of a build a bullpen from scratch. 2:02:38.760 --> 2:02:39.800 Job in one. 2:02:40.120 --> 2:02:43.760 Totally so that's what we, got.
