Start your mox today and let's start our 13 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: list at number five. Welsh, what do you have? 14 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 2: Carlos Correa? Yes, it finally ended. Can you believe it? 15 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: It feels like the never Ending Story only references that 16 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: Joe and I would really get for the never Ending 17 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: story if you guys can do that. 18 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 3: But he is not the big fluffy dog. 19 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: He is the short stop that finally found a home 20 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: back with the Minnesota Twins. It wasn't the Giants, it 21 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: wasn't the Mets. It's back with the Twins, and I 22 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: think one of the biggest things that actually happened this 23 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: is funny. This is a guy that just returned to 24 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: his same team last year, even though he traveled to 25 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: a couple different cities. What is incredible about this is 26 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: it was shined a huge light on this injury that 27 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: is going to affect the dynasty long term. We just 28 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: can't ignore the dynasty value that we have to put 29 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: in question. If two major league teams, Oh, it's funny. 30 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: The information came out that the Mets consulted with the 31 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 2: Giants doctor, but this was an outside doctor. The Twins 32 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: doctor was the one that said no, we're good and 33 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: they signed the contract. Leaves a lot of questions for 34 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: all of us that we should be concerned about his 35 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: long term value. Also, i'd point out, I'm not sure 36 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: if Minnesota is the greatest environment and went took a 37 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 2: look at some of the hitters on the more contact 38 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 2: based hitters, Luisa Rise, Jose Miranda, Jorge Planco. Even though 39 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 2: I know he struggled, there was a trend and this 40 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: also went with Carlos Krea and it was suppressed power. 41 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: Carlos Krea had around four homers taken away from him, 42 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: and those guys did as well. It was two plus 43 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: homers on all of those contact based hitters. Now, the 44 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: power guys like Byron Buxton, he actually had a little 45 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: bit higher, a little bit lower expected than what he hit. 46 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: So you've got a home run suppression, you've got an 47 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: injury that's out there, yeah, an offense it's okay. And 48 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: you got a player that never who's really lived up 49 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: to the bill. So I don't mind the destination. I 50 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 2: think he is exactly who we think he is, twenty 51 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: five eighty eighty with maybe a two to seventy batting average, 52 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 2: a questionable ankle that puts in a question on the 53 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: dynasty value long term, and it is right in our faces, 54 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: my friends. 55 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: For a while it looked like Carls care was heading 56 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: towards the same doom of the horse and never ending story, 57 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: just sinking more into the quicksand but eventually he pulled 58 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: himself out of it. 59 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 3: But you made a lot of voice, maybe falling apart. 60 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 3: You know, the Rocks. 61 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: Number four on the list of impactful signings, the Mets 62 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: rotation signings. I know I'm cheating here, but you got 63 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: Kodai Senga signing with the Mets, you got Justin Verlander 64 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: rating American League, Cy Young signing with the Mets, and 65 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: Jose Kintana. Now what does this mean for fantasy? Well, 66 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: the thing is you have a lot of age in 67 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: this rotation between Carrasco, Sures or Verlander, even Kintana and 68 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: Senga coming over from Japan. We obviously know those guys 69 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: some times can have some adjustment periods going to that 70 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: every fifth day style. So what does that mean. It 71 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: means you can invest in one or two of these guys. 72 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: But I would also strongly invest in David Peterson late. 73 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: Why because kind of like the situation with running backs, 74 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: sometimes you get that handcuff. Peterson's the guy is gonna 75 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: make a bunch of starts this year. Last year he 76 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: made nineteen starts. He was very good. Caper nine over ten, 77 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: close to eleven. This guy is a big, tall lefty. 78 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: He can get it done and to be able to 79 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: kind of control a little bit of those starting pitchers 80 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: when you know they're probably going to miss some starts 81 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: if you have one or two met starters, having these 82 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: kind of guys out there, Cantana's going to be cheap, 83 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: saying is going to be in that middle value. Obviously, 84 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: sures are in Verlant are the top. But Peterson's a 85 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: guy that you can draft really late, stick him on 86 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: that bench, and eventually you're gonna need him, and eventually 87 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna have him and save yourself some fab So 88 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: that is very interesting from the offseason moves their approach 89 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: with some of these starters. All right, let's go to 90 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: the number three most impactful move this offseason, Welsh and Fantasy. 91 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: What do you got, Well, my Arizona Diamondbacks moved off 92 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: of one of their big players, Alton Varshow, trading him 93 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: to the Toronto Blue Jays. And this is another dynasty 94 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: thing we've got to talk about. Dalton Varshow, obviously killer 95 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: he's one of those few players that you know, we 96 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: talk about him out of position being so valuable, but 97 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: even if he doesn't have that catcher spot, he's still valuable. 98 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: Twenty seven homer, sixteen stolen bases. 99 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 2: Last year, his batting average suffered around you know, seventy, 100 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: call it eighty eighty five on the roundups for the Diamondbacks. 101 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: Now he's going to go into a more powerful lineup 102 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: that is lacking and was lacking left handed bats. The 103 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,239 Speaker 2: problem is, from a dynasty perspective, he is most likely 104 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: losing that catcher eligibility unless they move one of those 105 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: guys Aleejandro Kirk and Danny Jansen, both really great catchers 106 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 2: that are going to be in there. Also really struggles 107 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: against lefties he did in twenty twenty one. I do 108 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: want to point out that this has been a big 109 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: narrative that he does struggle against lefties. Twenty twenty one 110 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: actually like a three fifty wOBA and two ninety batting 111 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 2: average against lefties. This past year it tanked completely to 112 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 2: twenty one batting average wOBA was one hundred point difference 113 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: between righty's and lefties. So is he going to at 114 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 2: all be platooned in this offense because they've got so 115 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 2: many pieces. Maybe Danny Jansen comes in, you get Kirk 116 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: at DH, you get him out. 117 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 3: We'll have to see, We'll have to see where it goes. 118 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: But the overall dynasty value is in question of Dalton 119 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 2: varshow and it also opened up this opportunity of Gabriel Moreno, 120 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: who looks like I don't think if he handed the 121 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: job this year, but he's going to get part of 122 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 2: that duty and he's gonna be able to, you know, 123 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: probably in twenty twenty four takeover for that gig. So 124 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: again from a dynasty perspective, moreno becomes a lot more interesting. 125 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: Is a little bit of value this year. Dalton Varshow though, 126 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: go all in. He's still is going to qualify catcher 127 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: this year, but most likely going to lose it next year. 128 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 2: And I really see one last little bit on him 129 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: which is fascinating is we are getting more of the 130 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: projection systems coming out and they're not. 131 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 3: Agreeing, but they're arguing. 132 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: On Dalton Varshow, they're almost all in sync that you're 133 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: gonna get twenty five plus homers, you're gonna get ten 134 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 2: plus stolen bases, and you're gonna get in the eighty eighties. 135 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: And I think there's potential room for growth. If he 136 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: is going to hit five or six in a lineup 137 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: where he's going to be batting in guys like Vladimir 138 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: Gerrera and Boba Schett, that's a pretty good spot to 139 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: be in, even if he moved up more run opportunity. 140 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: So Dalton Varshow very very safe this year, but bigger 141 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: questions long term for dynasty. 142 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: And maybe one more year in the sun of catcher eligibility. 143 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: We'll see, all right, Let's get to number two on 144 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: the list of impactful offseason moves. Is Carlos Rodon to 145 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: the Yankees coming off a year we had two hundred 146 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: and thirty seven k's just fifty two walks where he 147 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: had thirty one starts, a career high. I love power 148 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: lefty pitchers in Yankee Stadium. Historically, that's always been a 149 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: good thing. He's going to get a lot of offensive 150 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: help from the New York Yankees, and he's also in 151 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: a spot where he doesn't have to be the guy. 152 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: Garrick Cole is the guy. He's the number two when 153 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: he's surrounded by a very encouraging Luis Severino off last year, 154 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: and Nester Cortes. So really, he fits right into this rotation, 155 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: doesn't have to carry the burden of it necessarily, which 156 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: is great because Carlos Rodon has historically been a guy 157 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: that we were always holding our breath with. However, let's 158 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: not forget the guy's just turning thirty. That's it. He's 159 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: just thirty this year. He's been around forever it seems, 160 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: but he's only thirty an enter his prime. This is 161 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: a great situation. I'm buying Carlos Rodon off of the 162 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: last two years. Two years ago, Welsh and I were 163 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: very much into Carlos Rodon taking a flyer on him. 164 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: Certainly that worked out. Now we're in a spot where 165 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: he is a Yankee, but he doesn't have to hold 166 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: that rotation together. That's Garrett Cole's job. He can just 167 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: go out there and pitch every fifth day without the pressure, 168 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: but with a lot more support a division that could 169 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: be you know, some spots against the Red Sox and 170 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: Baltimo Oreals some good starts there potentially. All right, let's 171 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: go to the number one guy on the list here, 172 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: the most impactful free agent move in baseball this past year, 173 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: it's Trey Turner. 174 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: Welsh, how about Trey Turner, potential number one overall pick 175 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: moving to a brand new team, going off the Dodgers 176 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 2: and going to Philly, and I think there's big questions overall, 177 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,559 Speaker 2: He's always going to be valuable. You know, he's proven 178 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: to be a twenty plus home run hitter, which is 179 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: fantastic to go with a high end stolen bas so 180 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: I don't call them elite stolen bases anymore. He's still 181 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 2: thirty two in twenty twenty one, twenty nineteen, tarly twenty 182 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: seventeen through twenty nineteen, that was kind of the sweet 183 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 2: spot where the stolen bases were going. It looks like 184 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: they've ticked down a little bit. Last year he was 185 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: I believe, maybe the only guy, one of the few 186 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: at least one hundred hundred with twenty stolen bases and 187 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: twenty homers while hitting just under three hundreds. A phenomenal year. 188 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: But you go into a spot where there's no Bryce Harper. 189 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: We don't exactly know where he's going to hit in 190 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: the lineup. Current roster resource has him as a leadoff 191 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: schoreber hitting two, j t Romido hitting three. That makes 192 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 2: a lot of sense, But what does that clearly do. 193 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 2: That puts you in a spot where maybe the RBIs 194 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: are going to go down, and projection systems currently believe 195 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: that no projection system that is currently out has him 196 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: above eighty RBI still having the ninety run totals, you've 197 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: got the homers, you've got the stolen bases. We're in 198 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: the twenties, and you've got the batting average, but losing 199 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 2: those RBI go from a five tool, high end player 200 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: to maybe some questions, maybe like a little bit at 201 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: the top. If you don't get those RBIs at worth 202 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 2: the number one overall pick. I don't have him at 203 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 2: number one, but some others do. But Trey Turner going 204 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 2: to his new destination leaves a few questions. But it's 205 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: massively impact, especially at the very top of your draft boards. 206 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: All Right, those are the five most impactful free agent 207 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: and trades and movement of the twenty twenty two slash 208 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three off season.
