1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,679 Speaker 1: There's just a lot of optimisms surrounding Misrowsky. I'm surprised 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: it took this long, but the fact that he's about 3 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: to make his debut, I think everyone in baseball should 4 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: be watching. 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: Your from fanside at MLB insider Robert Murray where it's Robert, 6 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 2: good to see you, and I want to start trades. 7 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 2: Then we'll get to some call ups. I want to 8 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: get right to biz. 9 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 3: Here. 10 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 2: Team that you think will be the most popular for 11 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,159 Speaker 2: phone calls based on legit assets that can help a 12 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: team win the World Series is. 13 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: I'll go to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and first of all, 14 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: good to be here with you boys. It's been a while, 15 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: but they have so many different pieces here and this 16 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: season has not gone out they expected it at all. 17 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: But they have pieces such as like Zach Gallan, they 18 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: have Merril Kelly, they have Shelby Miller, have a bunch 19 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 1: of pieces on offense which are headlined by Suarez there. 20 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: So they have so many different names that they're already 21 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: starting to get calls in Arizona. They're not ready to 22 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: sell quite yet, but if they continue to struggle, and 23 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: with Corbin Birds's injury, then that could make them a 24 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: really enticing trade candidate for so many different teams. There's 25 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: not a lot of obvious sellers right now, so if 26 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: you can, if they end up deciding to sell, they 27 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: could really end up dictating the market. 28 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: Here, Robert, where are you at on the Orioles and 29 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: how far they will go? We talked earlier about Felix Bautista. 30 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: I actually believe that he won't be dealt based on 31 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 2: how many years he has left, what his cost is, 32 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: and the messaging to Orioles fans. 33 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 3: Hey, we tanked for half a decade. We lost favor 34 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 3: in the area. 35 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: There are fans that probably became Nationals fans, not older fans, 36 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: but younger fans because they're like, this isn't a serious franchise. 37 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: They're tanking for years and the window was so short 38 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: for now they can't just close it. Do you think 39 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: that if they trade someone like Bautista who has years 40 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: of control, they're sending the wrong message and they should 41 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: look more at Sir Anthony Dominguez, Andrew Kittridge, Cedric Mullins, 42 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: Ryan O'Hearn, etc. 43 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: I think you're spot on with that. If I was them, 44 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: I would not move Bautista unless you end up getting 45 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: just a massive haul like we ended up seeing last 46 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: year with Scott and a bunch of these other relievers 47 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: who were moved last year. Like the prices on relief pitching, 48 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: especially high leverage guys, was just so high, and these 49 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: teams could not necessarily ignore that, Like the value was 50 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: just too much for them to say no to. And 51 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: if the Oriols get something like that in return, then 52 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: I think that conversation could be had. But if you're 53 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: looking at it from their perspective, they, in my opinion, 54 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: they can't move guys that are not sign or they 55 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: can't move guys who are signed long term. They have 56 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: to move guys who are signed in for only this season. 57 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: And you can look at Charlie Morton, to me is 58 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 1: one of the better value plays. He struggled to start 59 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: this year. But I think a guy with his history 60 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: and just how good he's been and how important he's 61 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: been in clubhouses as well, that guy I would target 62 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: him if I was a team not looking to necessarily 63 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: like break the bank for a starting pitcher, just a 64 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: pitcher in general. But you mentioned some of these other 65 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: guys as well, like Sigano, like Zach Eflin, Cedric Mullins. 66 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: There's so many different also relief pitchers as well, Kid Ridge. 67 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: I mean, although he's signed for next year as well, 68 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: But they have guys who assigned short term that they 69 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: can move on from, and they have a core of 70 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: young players. And you guys were talking about it before 71 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: I hopped on here. The expectations were just so high 72 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: in Baltimore and it's just not been that at all, 73 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: and they have to continue to try to build for 74 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: next year and going forward. They cannot sell anything too 75 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: big where it just decreases their chances of winning next season, 76 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: because then that could end up really impacting Michael Lias's 77 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: job status, and maybe with them moving on from their manager, 78 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: that has already happened where it's like the seats starting 79 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: to get warm. But they're going to be building for 80 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: next year and going forward, so I expect this to 81 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: be just a sell off of expiring contracts for this year. 82 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 4: But isn't that just quinn pro quo from normal teams 83 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 4: that are like championship caliber teams. We always talk about 84 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 4: how well the Pirates can't trade Paul Skiings, the Orioles 85 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 4: can't trade the Mountain like to me teams that don't 86 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 4: go out and spend and make that big move. You 87 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 4: can't just go quick broke, well like the Yankees would 88 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 4: never trade to Paul Skis. They would never trade Like 89 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 4: you have to almost like flip the script and be like, wow, 90 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 4: how did they do that? Are the Orioles in that position? 91 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 4: Or does this new ownership. I think they spent seventy 92 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 4: three more million dollars this year, just expect Okay, we're 93 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 4: gonna run it back next year, but we're gonna put 94 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 4: our money into new things because if they don't go 95 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 4: out and get the guy, because all we heard from 96 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: the Orioles was, Oh, we're gonna go trade for this guy, 97 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: trade for that guy. Why not make a big move 98 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 4: now and get that starting pitcher before the offseason. 99 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: You're preaching an a choir on that one, because I've 100 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: been wanting them to make a big move for even 101 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: since the offseason and they just have not done that. 102 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: And it's incredibly frustrating because I I'm a covering baseball. 103 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm ten plus years into this now, which is kind 104 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: of crazy to think about, but I've never seen a 105 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: core of like this talent or this much talent of players, 106 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: even maybe since like the Chicago Cubs, or even more 107 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: so than that, like they've they have such a like 108 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: a great collection of young players all across a roster here, 109 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: and they've just not maximized it. And if there was 110 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: anything that they were going to go out and spend on, 111 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: it was starting pitching, like they did it getting Corbyn 112 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: Burns almost immediately after the ownership change, So I was 113 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: hoping and thinking that was like a sign of things 114 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: to come, but it's just been incredibly underwhelming. And whether 115 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: it's the owner, whether it's MIKEE. Lass being hesitant to 116 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: make a big move like that, I'm not exactly sure 117 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: what it is, or even if it's just a mixture 118 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: of both. But this team, especially with all these guys 119 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: signed cheap but also long term as well, now has 120 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: been the time to go out and get those players 121 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: in free agency or even when you have an infield 122 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: logjam or even an outfield logjam, trading some of those 123 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: guys and improving your pitching staff. They've not done that. 124 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: They did it last year and with the trade with 125 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: the Marlins, and they moved and got Kyle Stours and 126 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: Connor Norby, and that trade was easily the worst of 127 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: last deadline, so they the pressure is on them to 128 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: get things right both now and in the off season, 129 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: because if not, then there's gonna be a lot to 130 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: talk about them looking for both a new manager but 131 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: also a new GM as well. 132 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: If you're one of those on the go people, or 133 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: you're skipping meals but you don't want to. 134 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 3: There's gotta be a quicker solution.

I mean, 156 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: Sandel Contras put together back to back nice addings. So 157 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: maybe he goes on a little run here over the 158 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: next month and gets himself back into the trade conversation 159 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: for Miami. I'm sure they would like to move him. 160 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: Pictures are always taking time bombs, even though this one's 161 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: coming off surgery, And if they're thinking long term, this 162 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 2: would be a good year to do it if he 163 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: gets back on track. And is there anyone else you 164 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: think that could pop up and be relevant for a 165 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 2: Marlins trade conversation? 166 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: I honestly think the Marlins will listen on anyone not 167 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: named Augustine Ramirez or even Yurie Perez, anyone else I 168 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: think the listen on. And like I want to make 169 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: it clear, like listening and shopping are two totally different things. 170 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: Every team listens on almost every player, Like that's just 171 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,679 Speaker 1: a part of it. Because you got to know exactly 172 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: what kind of value is out there and try to 173 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: make the most informed decisions for your franchise. So when 174 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: I say that, like they're I just anticipate them listening 175 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: on essentially everyone on the roster. And I could also 176 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: see that including a guy like Kyle Stowers. And and 177 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: my guess is a trade is probably unlikely considering this 178 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: just the overall year he's had. He signed long term, 179 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: he signed cheap. I believe he's in his mid to 180 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: late twenties somewhere in that ballpark, and he's a really 181 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: valuable piece. But what I said before with the Diamondbacks is, 182 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: so far this looks like a very limited trade market 183 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: and a seller's market. And I would not be surprised 184 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: at all off that Marlin's got plenty of trade calls 185 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: for a gallic stours And if you can end up 186 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: having those trade calls turn into offers, and those offers 187 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: turning into a bidding war, then that could be something 188 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: where I could see the Marlins trying to take advantage 189 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: of that. I think Star Wars makes plenty of sense. 190 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: Sandy al Contra, We've talked about plenty and the year 191 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: that he's had overall has been extremely disappointing. Like I 192 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: think his best baseball is easily ahead of him, but 193 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: this season has been a huge struggle for him, and 194 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised whatsoever if the Marlins held 195 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: on to him and tried to wait for the the 196 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: offseason or even maybe next trade deadline to try to 197 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 1: trade him. So my guess is Sandy stays, but then 198 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: some of these other guys on the roster they could 199 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: be had, or even some some bullpen guys as well, 200 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: because bullpen is always just a huge need for almost 201 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: every contending team. 202 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: Hold up though on stours. 203 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: I don't know where he's at with service time, but 204 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 2: it is very very early in the service time clock. Yeah, 205 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 2: free agent listed here. I don't with Baseball Reference that 206 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: they mean after during the year. It as twenty thirty 207 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 2: you mentioned, so after twenty thirty. 208 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 4: Wasn't he a rookie last year? 209 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: Yeah? 210 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a couple of other times. Yeah, he 211 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 2: had been up and down actually for the last few years, 212 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 2: but barely. Yeah, Okay, they're going to trade him. He 213 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: looks like a piece of the future, honestly. 214 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 3: Okay, there we go. 215 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: I gotta make sure I don't think. I don't think 216 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: they're going to trade him, but I think there's any 217 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: teams call. So that's that's what I want to say there. 218 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 5: Peter Bendix will trade anybody we make the right right, 219 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 5: you know what they could You know what if you 220 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 5: call Peter Bendix right now and you offer him the 221 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 5: bat dog that just got called up, he'd be like, 222 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 5: you know, we could save a couple of bucks by 223 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 5: making that trade. Maybe we could do that and the dog, 224 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 5: but the bat dog could. 225 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: Also do something. 226 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 5: We could also save money on a bat boy. 227 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: So he's like. 228 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, see Robert would never trade his pot. But 229 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 2: I get what you're saying. 230 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: Not available, he's untouched category for me exactly. 231 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 3: There you go, crack you go, all right. 232 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 4: The Rockies they've always been willing to like make big 233 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 4: moves at the trade deadline when they wait. 234 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: No, not the Rockets. 235 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 4: Literally they have some pieces. Are they going to be 236 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 4: able to move or want to move the pieces that 237 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 4: are actually good or are they just going to be 238 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 4: a team that tries to move like a Kinley who's 239 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 4: I think he has a six plus ra or even 240 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 4: finally move McCann who I mean McMahon who now isn't 241 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 4: having a great year when they could have traded him 242 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 4: other years and gotten something for him. 243 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: There is a reason why the Rockies are always bad, 244 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: and I mean that's just one of many reasons for them. 245 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate because that ballpark is beautiful and they 246 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: somehow have a bunch of people in the stands on 247 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: every night, but yet the product on a field stinks. 248 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: And that's not the player's fault. That's just an organizational 249 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: problem and it starts at the trade trade deadline because 250 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: they've had they've had players in the past, and Ryan 251 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: McMahon it really is just the prime example of that. 252 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: He is someone they should have sold when his value 253 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: was a lot higher. I know myself and so many 254 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: others were really like adamant that they should absolutely listen. 255 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: But yet Dick Mumfort and that organization put their foot 256 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: down and we're just like, Nope, that's a guy we're 257 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: not moving. He's a fan. He's a favorite of Muntfort 258 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: as well, and that's gotten in the way of this, 259 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: and also I believe some other other things in the 260 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: past as well. But if they listen on him right now, 261 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: which I think Ken Rosenthal even reported today like there's 262 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: no real sign that there or there's no real like 263 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: they haven't decided exactly what they're going to do here. 264 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: But if they do listen on McMahon or even some 265 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: of their relievers or just anyone on that roster in general, 266 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: they should absolutely consider moving McMahon, even though his values 267 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 1: not at what it once was, But shedding out or 268 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: shedding that big contract would be ideal for them. But 269 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: just they could have gotten so much more even a 270 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: year or two ago. And the fact that they've waited 271 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: this long and might move him now, I just the 272 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: Rockies are going to Rocky. 273 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 4: But the whole Momford family works for the Rockies, don't they. 274 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 5: It's like the dad, the brother, the son, the other 275 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 5: song on this Guy's Sister. It's like the whole family 276 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 5: works with the Rockies. So they can't sell. They can't 277 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 5: move on because they then they would have to find 278 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 5: a whole new family business. Besides, I get what my 279 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 5: mom for someone to sell. All right, let's go to 280 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 5: a team in their division of the Padres. What's a 281 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 5: bigger need for the Padres left field? Which is they 282 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 5: do have Hayward coming back? Or is it Catcher which one, 283 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 5: do you think they have a better chance and more 284 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 5: maybe a better need of filling. 285 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a good question, and I think 286 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: you can make the case for both. And you could 287 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: even see it in spring training with the Potters at 288 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: the catcher position because last Diaz was struggling there and 289 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: they were really they were trying to figure out exactly 290 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: what they were going to do. And they even kicked 291 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: the tires I believe at some point in the spring 292 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: or somewhere in there on that ballpark on Yasmina Groundal 293 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: who actually was just released from the Red Sox. But 294 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if Grundhal ended up retiring there. 295 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: So if that is the case, heck of a career 296 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: by Grundal. But catching that's always tricky, what like what 297 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: exactly they can end up targeting, like who's to be available, 298 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: Like Gary Sanchez could make sense if the if the 299 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: Oriels end up moving on from him, So I could 300 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: see that being a potential fit in there's history there 301 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: as well. And then you could also look at left 302 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: field and there's gonna be plenty of different options for 303 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: them to consider. But the thing I would actually put 304 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: ketcher ahead of that, just because I think ketcher's just 305 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: you obviously know AJ like and also Cratzy there as well. 306 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: You guys a team of Ketchers today. I didn't even 307 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: think about that, but ketching is such like a is 308 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: such an important position, so I would put that ahead 309 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: of that for sure. I would think that's probably the 310 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: top priority for them. But at the end of the day, 311 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be spending too much money 312 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: because they've had a pretty limited budget in years past, 313 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: even so in the offseason and and getting Jackson Merrill's 314 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: deal done was it was. There was a lot of 315 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: pushing and shoving that had to go into there to 316 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: make that happen. So I'm not gonna I'm not banking 317 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: on a big aj Preller move. Although that being said, 318 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: he's proven me wrong before with Luis Hariz and some 319 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: of these other things. I'm not gonna doubt them, but 320 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: I'm kind of skeptical of that right now. 321 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 4: And catching moved at the trade deadline is rare, rare, rare, 322 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 4: rare moves so it's barely But let's talk about a 323 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 4: call up. A call up that happened in both of 324 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 4: our old stomping grounds Jacob Mizerowski. Is this guy's ascension 325 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 4: to the big leagues gonna be culminated in him being 326 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 4: pulled out in the fifth inning? Or is this one 327 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 4: hundred and three going to be something that we're going 328 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 4: to see night or not night in and night out 329 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 4: every five days and really solidify that second spot in 330 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 4: the Brewers' rotation, especially with Savali going to the bullpen. 331 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: I think he's going to make an immediate impact. And 332 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: you might think I'm crazy for what I'm about to say, 333 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: a cratsy, but I we've seen the Brewers. They've they've 334 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: had Freight Prawlta, they've had Corbin Burns, they've had Brandon Woodruff. 335 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: If everything goes right for Mizerowski, I could see him 336 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: being better than all of those guys. He has all 337 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: the tools in his body. He's typically averages about ninety 338 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: seven to ninety eight, can top out at one oh three, 339 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: got a really good slidder, really good curveball, and his 340 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: big problem that he's had has been his control, and 341 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: he's figured it out. It's been moving in a better 342 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: direction for him. And if everything ends up working out, 343 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: and I know that's easier said than done, but He's 344 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: got all the tools in his body to be better 345 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: and better than all of those guys. So if I'm 346 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: the Brewers should I would be incredibly optimistic about what's 347 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: to come for him. He's going to make an immediate 348 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: impact there and both now and going forward, he's gonna, 349 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: if my guess, he's going to be in the ace 350 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: of that rotation, maybe as soon as next year if 351 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: Freddie Peralta becomes a trade possibility for them in the offseason. 352 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: So there's just a lot of optimism surrounding Miserowski. I'm 353 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: surprised it took this long, but the fact that he's 354 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: about to make his debut, I think everyone in baseball 355 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: should be watching because he is easily one of the 356 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: best pitching prospects to come up for the Brewers and 357 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: just in general with although Bubba Chandler is he should 358 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: be up now, but he's also a very good one 359 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: as well. 360 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 2: When do you think Bubba Chandler gets called up for 361 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: the Pirates to give them something else to watch for 362 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: fun since the team's not a contender again. 363 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: I was open like a month ago. He's he's so 364 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: good and if he ended up getting called up earlier, 365 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: he was my pick to win nationally Rookie of the Year. 366 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: He is an awesome, awesome, awesome player. And the Pirates, 367 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: I mean, they played better since moving on from their 368 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: manager there. And if if you call him up, you're 369 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: gonna have Paul Skins, You're gonna have Bubba Chandler, you're 370 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: gonna have Mitch Keller, You're gonna have a bunch of 371 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: these other guys. I wish Jared Jones was healthy because 372 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: having all those guys together would have been a really really, 373 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: really cool thing and given fans a reason to come 374 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: to the ballpark. And it's a shame to see that 375 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: ballpark as empty as it is. But Chandler is he 376 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: is the best pitching prospect in baseball, and it like 377 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: the Pirate should have call him up, like even a 378 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: month ago. They should call him up now. I don't 379 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: know exactly what they're waiting for. If it's like a 380 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: service time thing, I have no idea. But Pirates fans 381 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: ever ever, have every reason to be optimistic about him 382 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: because between him and Paul Skeins, you have maybe the 383 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: most talented one two punch in baseball with those guys. 384 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 4: And Harrington coming up too. But Ken Ken Bubba Chandler 385 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 4: hit because that's the case, and the Pirates fans will 386 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 4: really come out. 387 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: Oh my god, if only he was shoe Otani. He 388 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: can't play for his base. Yeah, that would be yeah, yeah, 389 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: that would be fun. That'd be fun. 390 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 3: Good, Hey, bring me in for a sec. 391 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: So you remember you got to go way back twenty 392 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 2: twenty four, the Pirates called up this big deal pitching 393 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: prospect name Paul Skeens. They called him up on May eleventh, 394 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 2: which is too late for them to get that extra 395 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 2: draft pick that reward for calling someone up right, but 396 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 2: not too late for that player to get a full 397 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 2: year of service time if he finishes in first or 398 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: second place for a now Rookie of the Year. So 399 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 2: they got nothing out of a system that is essentially 400 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 2: created for an organization like that. Yep, some smart people 401 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 2: on the screen right now. Do we think that has 402 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: anything to do with it? 403 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 4: I'm I'm killing handling. 404 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 3: I know you're handling. I'm going here, Robert, no offense, 405 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 3: I have there's a special surprise coming. 406 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 2: That's okay, Former Pirate aerocrats, do you think that has 407 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 2: anything to do with it? 408 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 4: Yes, fool me once. Whoops, we didn't think Schemes was 409 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 4: going to pitch like he did, or they knew he 410 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 4: was gonna pitch like we did. We didn't think he 411 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 4: was going to win Rookie of the Year. Oh wait, 412 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 4: we let him keep pitching then he won it. We're 413 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 4: not going to make that mistake again with a guy 414 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 4: who our great Robert Murray just said is one of 415 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 4: the best pitching prospects in baseball. I saw him in 416 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 4: spring training. 417 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 3: I dude, can sling nast exactly. 418 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: He's so good. 419 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 3: Robert.
