I meane, we were 9 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: live last night at this time talking about the big 10 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: trade with Wilson Contreras. You know, there was a lot 11 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: to think about with that one last night, because you know, 12 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: you had to react to the contrerass move, which I did, 13 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: like I'll go over that yet again here and just 14 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: little bit, but we're all thinking, all right, who is 15 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: gonna be the next bat? You know, are you gonna 16 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: be really looking for a big bopper out there? Or 17 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: are you gonna look to bring Alex Bregman backs? Could 18 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: someone like Boba Schett be on the menu. There's a 19 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: lot of different ways you could have gone. And we 20 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: were here for a little bit last night. I was 21 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: kind of thinking through things. I've had a little bit 22 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: of time to digest everything, kind of simplify my thoughts, 23 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go over those thoughts here in tonight's episode. 24 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: A lot of familiar faces here in the chat. Thank 25 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: you everybody for coming on by. Hope you're all having 26 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: a great day. What is today? Today's Monday. Hope you're 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: all having a great Monday. So, yeah, we've got Christmas 28 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: in a few days. I mean, that's how chaotic it's been. 29 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the date and I don't even realize 30 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: it's Christmas in a few days. My goodness. I gotta 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: go finish up some shopping. Hope you're all doing well 32 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: with your Christmas shopping. But let's get to it here. 33 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: I'm rambling. We got a lot to talk about. So 34 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: Wilson Contreras is official. He is official. I mean take 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: a look at that. I mean take a look at that. 36 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, Wilson concraras. He's a handsome man, but 37 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: he looks even more handsome in a Red Sox uniform, 38 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: I must say. But going over this yet again, I'm 39 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: a big fan of it. Wilson was one of the 40 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: players I would have liked the Red Sox to add 41 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: of course, you know, you're looking at guys like Brek 42 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: been out there, Ka tell Marte, Boba, Schet and with Contreras, 43 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: I think he's an above average bat. I think he's 44 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: a solid guy to have in the lineup, a guy 45 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,399 Speaker 1: that's gonna give you I think around twenty to twenty 46 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: five home runs. He's gonna get on base. I think 47 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,399 Speaker 1: he's gonna attack that green monster. I think he's gonna 48 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: be a really nice bat to have in the lineup. 49 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: And with Contreras, he's gonna give you good defense, ave 50 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 1: first base. So I think it was a really nice 51 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: player to add for the Red Sox. Also just the 52 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: mentality that he brings. This guy's a competitor. He wants 53 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: to go out there and win. Big fan of Wilson Contreras, 54 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: I've always been pretty high on him, but I never 55 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: really viewed him as the you know, that big old 56 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: monster in the middle of the order like Manny ramire 57 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: Is or David Ortiz or Raffie Devers or Mookie Right 58 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: or JD. Martinez. Even just a solid guy there to have. 59 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: Very happy with it, but the question is who is 60 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: going to be the next bat? And you know, I 61 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: thought about it more. I thought about it more, you know, 62 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: getting back to you know, all that power. You know 63 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: you're thinking of, like, Okay, who's going to be this 64 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: middle of the order bat for the Red Sox. Well, 65 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: I thought about it here today. I'm like, well, you know, 66 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: there's really only one guy you can realistically go after 67 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: at this point. Who knows if it's even still a 68 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: realistic but you're looking at someone like a tel Marte 69 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: who he gives you the best shot of giving you 70 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: anywhere from thirty to thirty five home runs, maybe even 71 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: a little bit more than that. But I thought to myself, 72 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, if he's really the only guy that gives 73 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: you that sure thing, and you're not able to acquire him, 74 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: that are not able to come up with some kind 75 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: of a trade, well then where are you going to 76 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: get that back? We're gonna get those home runs from? 77 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: And you know, I kind of thought about it. I'm like, 78 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: you know what, maybe they stretch out this lineup as 79 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: much as possible. Maybe you don't necessarily need to have 80 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: that Masher right, that forty home run kind of a guy. 81 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: And listen, you might be thinking, oh, Robbie's coping. I mean, 82 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: Robbie's on his cope fest here, no, no, no, no, 83 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: necessarily hear me out here, hear me out If you 84 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: think about it, right, you got guys that I think 85 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: are gonna have a bit of a bump when it 86 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: comes to the power. I think Roman Anthony, you're gonna 87 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: see a bit of a boost. There had eight home 88 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: runs last year. I think maybe around twenty ish twenty 89 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: five home runs maybe, I think that's a safe bet. Wait, Roman, 90 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the all around impact that he's gonna bring. 91 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: He's gonna get on Bastrea, He's gonna hit for some 92 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 1: decent average and he'll give you a little pop as well. 93 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: A Roman Anthony impact player. I definitely think he's gonna 94 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: give you a little boost there in the home runs. 95 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: If you bring just for example, if you bring back 96 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: Alex Bragman, I think that's if healthy for the full season, 97 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: I think safe bet. Twenty to twenty five home runs 98 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: Marcella Meyer, if he's in the lineup every day, if healthy, 99 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: that is a big if. Well, then I think you 100 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: see a boost in home runs from him as well. 101 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: Will you or Bray you, I mean, listen, this guy 102 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,559 Speaker 1: was on pace for twenty five to thirty home runs, 103 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: and then he got hurt. And we'll talk about Willier 104 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: in a little bit. Looks like maybe he could be 105 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: getting some more chances at everyday opportunities to go up 106 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: against left handed pitching. But I think with Willier, with 107 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: the power that he has, I think you could see 108 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: somewhere from twenty five to thirty home runs. I don't 109 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: see why not. And then Tristan Costas I did mention 110 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: him a lot here last night because I'm thinking, where's 111 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: that power coming from? Well, Cossas is really that big 112 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: old bopper there, and you know, if he comes back, 113 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, at some point, I'm not gonna, you know, 114 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: make any solid bets that he's gonna give you, you know, 115 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: thirty home runs, but you know, maybe you could tap 116 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: if he gets himself back on track, maybe can tap 117 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: into something there. And then I kind of did some 118 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: math somehow, someway, my potent o'braen actually did some math. 119 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: RAFFI if you take out the fifteen home runs that 120 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: he hit for the Red Sox last year, and you 121 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: add up all these other home runs that are coming 122 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: from all these different places, well, the Red Sox, they 123 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: would have been top ten in home runs this past year. 124 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: So again, do you necessarily need to have it coming 125 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: from one spot. I think you would like that. I 126 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: think we would love David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez, right, 127 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: Jad Martinez, Muki whatever, RAFFI. But maybe you could spread 128 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: this out, Maybe you could deepen this lineup. I mean, listen, 129 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: let me go over this line up here for you. 130 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: Let me go over this lineup again. This is subject 131 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: to change. I know a lot of things can still 132 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: happen here. It's not even Christmas. But let's say you 133 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 1: had Roman leading off. Let's say you brought back Bregman. 134 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: Let's say you still keep Duran He's batting third, Contreras 135 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: batting fourth, Story batting fifth, Will You're batting sixth, Nervaias 136 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: batting seventh, Marcella Meyer batting eighth, SETI batting ninth. I 137 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: don't know what happens to Masa. There's a lot of 138 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: what is I know a lot of people you're gonna 139 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: go in the comments and be like, oh, Robbie, what 140 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: about this? And I just listen to the lineup. I 141 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: just said, you know, that's a pretty deep lineup. The 142 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: fact that you'd have Will You're batting six nervias batting seventh. 143 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty decent if you ask me again, No, 144 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: you don't got that forty to fifty home run kind 145 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: of a guy like Schwarburg or Alonso. But you got 146 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: a lot of like there. And that's a little difficult 147 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: to navigate if you ask me. And I'd like it, 148 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of question marks and we do 149 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: have to take a look. We do have to take 150 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: a look at Craig Breslo's comments. He actually spoke to 151 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: the media. Spoke to the media. Can you believe it. 152 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: He spoke to the media. And let's get to it here. 153 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna use Chris Catillo. Please go follow Chris 154 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: Catillo if you're not already, I'm sure most of you are. 155 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: But he put most of the important quotes. Thank you 156 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: Chris for putting these out there. I owe you one, 157 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: my friend. But taking a look at some of these 158 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: comments talked about Wilson, Contreras primarily sees Wilson at first base, 159 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: maybe some DH opportunities, while not fully ruling out catching 160 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: reps but not promising them by any means. This is 161 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: kind of what I was saying last night. I think 162 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: You're mostly going to see him at first base. He's 163 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: got that great defense over there, taking a look at 164 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: the stat cast page, very good range over at first 165 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: base this year. He's got that arm strength. He's a 166 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: very good first baseman, and he took to it very 167 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: well in his first year. He has that good athleticism. 168 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: There were a couple of issues when it came to 169 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: Contreras when you know, the a couple of the little things, right, 170 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, some of the game calling, you know, the framing. 171 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: But Wilson he always had a good arm and he 172 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: moved well back there. So he's a really nice fit 173 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: over at first base. So yeah, you're mostly gonna see 174 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: him at first base DH some days. You know, especially 175 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: if Cossas ends up coming back, I could definitely see 176 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: them mixing and matching. Korra likes to do that with 177 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: the lineups, and you know what, do I see him 178 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: catching at some point? Well? I think this is also 179 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: pretty strategic because you know, Narvaias he was running into 180 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: a couple of things. He was getting dinged up this 181 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: year long. I mean that bat basically disappeared in the 182 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: first half. He was dealing with some things this past year. 183 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: We found out later on. So who knows, maybe you 184 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: could have an opportunity where Wilson you maybe need him 185 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: behind the place. So I think he's nice to have 186 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: in that essence, right. He talked about Tristan Cosis here, 187 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: and I'm glad he said something about Tristan Cossus because 188 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: I was looking back at the stream from last night 189 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: and I think I'm thinking to myself today, Man, did 190 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: I get a little ahead of myself, you know, banking 191 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: on Cassus or banking on you know, maybe what the 192 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: front office felt about Cassus, you know, because you don't 193 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: really know what's gonna happen there. He's coming back from 194 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: a major injury, so I don't know. But he did 195 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: say here, he did speak a lot of confidence of 196 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: causes say, we still have a ton of confidence and 197 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: belief in Tristan. There's going to be an opportunity for 198 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: him to impact as for us. And you know, say 199 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: what he will about Cassus. I know he's been polarizing 200 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: with you know, just his ca You know, he likes 201 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: to have fun out there, he likes to speak his mind. 202 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: He's a he's a free spirit out there. Listen. I'm 203 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: all I'm Okay, with whatever the heck you do. But 204 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 1: if you're hitting some dingers that that's that's gonna be great. 205 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: So with Casas, he has shown that ability in the past, 206 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: he has shown that power upside. Did struggle before going 207 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: down with that injury, but with Casas, we know that 208 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: power's there. But I like this bringing in Wilson because 209 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: you can just ease Cassas back in. That's what I've 210 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: been talking about, and that's what I was talking about 211 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: even with Alonso, right if you brought him in, that 212 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: would be nice for Casus because there's no pressure on 213 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: him to come back. He can just come back at 214 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: his own pace. So same thing here with Contreras, you're 215 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: set at first base. But with Costas coming back eventually, 216 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: I think you could see him as a guy that 217 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: ends up becoming your everyday d Ach May he plays 218 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 1: a little first base. I think that's very possible. Who 219 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: knows what happens with Masa at that point, but I 220 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: think Kasas has that ability to mostly be your DH 221 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: and give you that power upside if he can get 222 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: back to what he was doing. But I like this 223 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: because it really brings down the pressure with him. He 224 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: can come back when he feels like he is, when 225 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: they feel like he's good to go. Now, moving on 226 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: to the juicy stuff here, let's talk about the juicy stuff. Well, 227 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: Craig goes on to say, we recognize that at this 228 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: point the roster is probably incomplete, adds that adding another 229 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: bat is a target and a priority. Breslo says the 230 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: focus now is on position players, with pitching on the 231 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: back burner. He doesn't rule out further pitching additions, especially 232 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: in the bullpen, but it's clear another bat is what 233 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: they view as the final big piece. So again, you know, 234 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: getting back to what I was talking about, you know, 235 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: with the lineup, if that is the way you're going 236 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: to go, Like if you don't end up getting Marte, 237 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: let's say you bring back Bregman or Bow and you 238 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: go for that length. Right, I mean, either one of 239 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: those guys is gonna add length. But I'm more saying, 240 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: if you know, if you opt for Bregman or Bow, 241 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: you're probably looking at a little bit less pop compared 242 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: to someone like Marte. Right, if it's Bregman or Bau 243 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: not Marte, I still think you have a very strong 244 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: lineup and there's good potential. So the question is who 245 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: is that bat going to be? Well, I think plan A. 246 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: I mean you can you can decide what your Plan 247 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: A is, your Plan B, your Plan CE. I'm trying 248 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: to think in terms of the front office. Well. I 249 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: would like to think. Maybe this is wishful thinking, maybe 250 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: this is hopeful thinking, but I would like to think 251 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: that Bregman is the Plan A. Don't need to go 252 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: into it anymore. Great fit on off the field, you 253 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: know the drill. That's how it is. A Bregman fits 254 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: like a glove. My gut would like to think that 255 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: they will end up offering him a solid offer. Do 256 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: I think that's going to be the top offer? I 257 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: would bet money that they probably don't end up giving 258 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: him the biggest offer. I'd like to think that maybe 259 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks end up offering him more years, Maybe the 260 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: Cubs end up offering him maybe a higher AAV. Possibly, 261 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you could see teams have 262 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: better parts of an offer compared to the Red Sox. 263 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: I think some other teams could have more years. I 264 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: think maybe some teams could have a higher AAV. I 265 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: would like to think, and I hope the Red Sox 266 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: do give him a very strong offer that's going to 267 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: make it tough on his decision. You traded away Raffi, 268 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: you brought in Bregman. Well, you brought in Bregman first, 269 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: but then you ended up moving Raffi. That free up 270 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: the payroll, That opened up the opportunity to move that 271 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: money over to Bregman. I'd like to think that's the 272 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: way they're gonna go. I know, the Red Sox you 273 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: can say what you will when it comes to the spending. 274 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: And I know we've seen the reports saying they don't 275 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: really want to go very long on guys that are 276 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: over thirty. I mean, we'll see what ends up happening. 277 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: I would like to think the Red Sox at some 278 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: point come to their senses and say, all right, Alex, 279 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: five year offer, we can maybe throw in an option, 280 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: maybe even a four year deal with an option or 281 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: a couple of options, something around that. Maybe. I don't 282 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: think again they're going to offer him the most in 283 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: terms of flat years, but I think they will, I hope, 284 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: give him a strong offer that's definitely gonna make him contemplate. 285 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: And I would like to think, well, I don't want 286 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: to say I would like to think, but I think 287 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: that they're going to bank on the fact that he 288 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: did enjoy his time. I'm here, they enjoyed having him, 289 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: his wife liked it in Boston. They have a couple 290 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: of chos are and gives them an opportunity to, you know, 291 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: settle down. I'd like, I'm thinking they're gonna bank on that, 292 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: and they hope he ends up saying yes, that's kind 293 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: of where I'm at. But then I also have a 294 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: little pause with that, a little bit of pause. You 295 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: look at the CBT right now, looking at or the 296 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: current payroll for the Red Sox, looking at the current payroll, Well, 297 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: with hold on a second, I can't go further down. 298 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: I apologize, like, Okay, well, whatever the current payroll for 299 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: the Red Sox is at two forty three. If you 300 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: add Bregman, I'm gonna get roughly aav right around thirty million. 301 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: You're depending on the deferred money. If you do that, 302 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: and you know, however that works out, you're probably gonna 303 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: be around that two seventy mark, and you're gonna be 304 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: over the second CBT. I wonder if what the Red 305 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: Sox think about that, that that also applies to Bobachett. 306 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: You're probably gonna be giving anywhere from I think twenty 307 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: five twenty eight million for Boba Schett. You're gonna be 308 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: either one of those guys. You're gonna be around that 309 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: second CBT probably over it. So that's where I do 310 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: have a little bit of pause again, wishful thinking maybe 311 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: that they end up giving him a strong offer that's 312 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: gonna be tough for him to decide on. But I 313 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: wonder if they do go that far, I don't know. 314 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: I really don't know what they're gonna do. I'm not sure. 315 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: That's kind of where I'm at with Bragman, and I 316 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: think in the end they're going to wait on his 317 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: decision or because it's it's tough, because you could say, well, 318 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: why not just pivot to Marte right now? Why not 319 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: just pivot to bo Well, maybe the Diamondbacks want to 320 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: wait on a Catel Marte deal because they're in the 321 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: race for Bregman. They would like to bring him in. 322 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: I would imagine they would like to have him first 323 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: before moving Marte. That's kind of the way I think 324 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,479 Speaker 1: because there are some payroll things going on. There's been 325 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: some question marks, so the d bacs payroll, so I mean, 326 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna trade Marte and then and 327 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden Bregman ends up leaving that's 328 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,239 Speaker 1: the way, or he ends up going elsewhere, so then 329 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: they'd be completely out of everything, right. I mean, of 330 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: course the d Backs could you know, trade Marte get 331 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: young talent back, but I think they would like to 332 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: have a solid player like Bregman in place, and then 333 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: you could move Marte. Right, So I think the d 334 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: Bacs wait there before they make a decision on Marte. 335 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: I could be wrong, and Bo, you know, maybe he 336 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: wants to wait for Bregman to come off the board 337 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: because the Red Sox are involved, So I'm not sure 338 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: how that goes. I think there's a bit of a 339 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: connection between all three. And but because the Red Sox 340 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: have the familiarity with Bregman, I think they would like 341 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: to see what he ends up doing. It's kind of 342 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: where I'm at. Another think with Bregman too. I mean, listen, 343 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: I don't mean to be that guy, but he changed 344 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: his Instagram picture. Ladies and gentlemen, there is something there 345 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: that do you see that's a bee? That's a b 346 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: on that hat. I'm just saying, I know he's with 347 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: his wonderful son at the All Star Game. But that 348 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: is a bee on the hat, just pointing it out. 349 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: Maybe that could be a sign. I don't know. I'm 350 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: not gonna go too deep into it. It is there though, 351 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: in case you like that stuff. But again, that's the 352 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: way I'm thinking. I could be completely wrong and all 353 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: of that, but I feel like the Red Sox is 354 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: gonna wait on Bregman. If Bregman ends up going elsewhere, 355 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: if he decides something else, well, I think you pivot 356 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: to Marte. Let's say he goes to the Diamond Back. Well, 357 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: I think there's a big caveat to that. If Bregman 358 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: goes to Arizona, that's when I would like to think 359 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: there's a better chance they move Marte. At that point, 360 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: you could keep both for sure, but if there are 361 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: you know, if they do want to lessen up that 362 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 1: payroll a little bit, use Martes's value his trade value 363 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: to go get some pitching, which they need, well, then 364 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: I can see that scenario. So if Bregman goes to Arizona, 365 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 1: I think that could open up the possibility for Marte. 366 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: Really reminds me of Garrett Crochet last year. They missed 367 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: out on freed, they pivoted to the White Sox. They 368 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: went and got Crochet the next day. So I wonder 369 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: if you could see a similar situation like that. I'm 370 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: not sure I will say, though, I will say, got 371 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: some birdies out there, got some birdies. I've been told 372 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: that there is a bit of a disconnect when it 373 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: comes to the talks. I heard good news around the 374 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: winter meetings. I was hearing some good things, had some 375 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: pushback as well from other sources. But lately I'm hearing 376 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: there is a bit of a disconnect between the Red 377 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: Sox and the d Backs when it comes to the talks, 378 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: and that could possibly tye into the Bob Nightingale story 379 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: that we saw where Nightingale said it's expected that the 380 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: Red Sox are going to end talks for Marte. So 381 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: unless something happens, someone wakes up differently, then you know, 382 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: maybe they can change their mind. But I'm wondering what's 383 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: happening there. I'm not so sure. I do think the 384 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: Red Sox have the pieces to get a deal done 385 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: if they chose to. Who knows what the disconnect is, 386 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: who knows what's going on with those talks. Who knows 387 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: if it's maybe the Red Sox not wanting to give 388 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: up guys. Do the Diamondbacks view the Red Sox as 389 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: not a great trade partner? I would like to think 390 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: the former. I would like to think the Red Sox 391 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: are holding tight onto guys Breslo, that he is a 392 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: stubborn man. He is the word that's been thrown around, 393 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: a stiff, that is the word that people like to say. 394 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: But I could see him being very tight on those prospects, 395 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: especially guys like Connolly, Early and Peyton Toley. So maybe 396 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: the d Backs are thinking, all right, if you're not 397 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: going to give up one of those guys or say 398 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: Marcelo Meyer, well then probably not gonna have a deal. 399 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: So I don't know, I'm not sure what the hold 400 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: up is there, but you do I think you do 401 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: have the pieces to get a deal done. Now. If 402 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: Marte doesn't work out, well, then I think Bobachett makes 403 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: a ton of sense. And if you were looking at 404 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: that report with the Red Sox and not too keen 405 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: on the longer term deals, well, difference with Bashett is 406 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: he's only just about to turn twenty eight years old. 407 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: He's a couple of years under thirty, so he's got 408 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 1: that going for him. Maybe that's something the Red Sox prefer. 409 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: Get back to the payroll again, that would put them 410 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: over that second CBT most likely if they brought him in. 411 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: I think you could even see a scenario where maybe 412 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: maybe you even swap Bo and Marte when it comes 413 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: to plan B Plan C. Maybe you know, people think, 414 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: all right, let's just I could even see people. I 415 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: can see people even thinking Bobachett should be planned a listen, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, 416 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: whatever you want. They're all good. Well, I'll throw cookies 417 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: and cream into the mix. I'm a big cookies and 418 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: cream guy. Maybe cookie dough too, you know, I don't know, 419 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: so I think one of these three guys makes sense. 420 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: The one thing with Bashett that you got to think 421 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: about is you would have to give up a draft pick, 422 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: you would have I think you also have to give 423 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: up international signing money because he's attacked with the qualifying offer, 424 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: so that does come into play. So I could also 425 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: see where maybe the Red Sox think, okay, well, for Marte, 426 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: we'd have to give up a guy like Totally or Early, 427 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: maybe even Brian Beao, maybe Marcelo Meyer one of those guys. 428 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: Maybe the Red Sox would rather hang on to those 429 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: prospects and think, okay, well with Bo, yes we have 430 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: to give up a draft pick, international signing money, but 431 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: I would think, I mean, I think they would. That's 432 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: why I go back to Bregman. I think he's the 433 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: sure thing, you know, because you don't have to give 434 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: up anything except money, You don't have to give up talent, 435 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: you don't to give up draft picks, whatever. So that's 436 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: why another thing, I think Bregman just checks off so 437 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: many boxes along with all the boxes he already checks off. 438 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: But with Bo, compared to Marte, Now what would you 439 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: rather give up? Would you rather give up totally and 440 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: earlier totally or early with other guys, or give up 441 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: a draft pick. So that's kind of where I could 442 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: see Boushett maybe having an advantage there. He slides into 443 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: second base, Myer moves over to third. Now we also 444 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: had this, we got a little something from Ken Rosenthal 445 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: as long as along with Will Salmon the Cardinals on 446 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: the Red Sox also have discussed a trade that would 447 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: send Brendan Donovan to Boston. Listen, are we gonna be 448 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: the Boston Cardinals? Is it gonna be the Saint Louis 449 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: Red Sox. Listen, the Red Sox broke up with him, 450 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: but it seems like they're thinking, Man, we love we 451 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: missed talking to him. We got to talk to him 452 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: more often. Man, oh man, they just can't seem to 453 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,239 Speaker 1: get away from him. I don't know what's going on, 454 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: but the Red Sox and the Cardinals, they are wheeling 455 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: and dealing. I don't know, Craig breslo Heim Bloom, they're 456 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: becoming best friends, like, you know, like step brothers. All right, 457 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: the bunk beds man. No man, Donovan likely would play 458 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: second base of the Red Sox, who have also been 459 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: linked to Catel Marte. No deal is close, but Donovan 460 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: almost certainly would bring a greater return than Gray or Contraris. Well, yes, 461 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: he absolutely would. Let's go take a look here. Well 462 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: that is really zoomed in goodness gracious, But for Donovan, 463 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: I also listened a whole bunch of trade candidates here 464 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: for you know what, it would guys that you could 465 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: include in a package for Marte. No, I'm not saying 466 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: all of these guys, but you could definitely work in 467 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of these guys, I think along 468 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: with other pieces. But uh, let's do you know what 469 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: is Cardinal or what is Donovan's trade value? It's pretty good. Listen. 470 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: Donovan's a good player. He is a very good player, 471 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: thirty two dollars worth of trade value surplus trade value. 472 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: Why because he's not really making a whole ton of 473 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: money and he's gonna give you good production. I saw 474 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: someone today, I don't know where I saw this. My goodness, 475 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: I had to bite my tongue a little bit. I 476 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: saw someone. What is Donovan gonna give you? What more 477 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: is he gonna give you instead of Romy and David Hamilton? 478 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: Oh man, oh man. Of course, Donovan's gonna give you 479 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: more production overall than Romy and David Hamilton. Listen. I 480 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: love Romy, I love Romy, don't get me wrong. But 481 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: Donovan is one of the better hitters in the game. 482 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: He was right around the three wins above replacement last year. 483 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: He was really good, guys, one of the top contact 484 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: hitters in the game. He's a dirt dog kind of 485 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: a player. He could play multiple positions, pretty good defense 486 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: as well. I would love to have someone like Donovan 487 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: if he's not my first option, but he's He's definitely there. 488 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: If they ended up getting Donovan, I'd be pretty happy 489 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: with that. Of course, now that you know, there's not 490 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: a whole lot of pop with him, more contact and 491 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: not really going to strike out, So you would definitely 492 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: have to try and find some power there. But I 493 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: like Donovan a lot. I couldn't believe someone I don't know, man, 494 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe someone said that. But it would cost 495 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: a lot to get Donovan. I would imagine if you're 496 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: the Red Sox here, I mean him would definitely he 497 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: would have a lot more to work with on what 498 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: he could get back compared to Sonny Gray and Wilson Contreras. 499 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: I mean you've given up more of a depth I 500 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: wanna say depth prospect, but a decent prospect in Brandon 501 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: Clark with good stuff. Hunter Dobbins more of a depth starter. 502 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: But someone would upside for the Cardinals. But you would 503 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: definitely get better than that, I'll be honest, like, I'd 504 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: imagine probably someone like franklin Arius would make some sense 505 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: because they're getting an infielder back, So I think you 506 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: could do something like him and then maybe you know, 507 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I would imagine maybe want 508 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: to go for a bit more volume. Could you send 509 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: back like like Marcus Phillips, you know a couple of 510 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: guys like that, Anthony Anson, you know, so you would 511 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: definitely get a decent amount. I would like to think 512 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: Franklin Arius would be a part of that kind of 513 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: a trade. That's just me, But I'm a big fan 514 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: of Brandon Donovan. I really like his game hit two 515 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: eighty seven last year, three fifty three on bas four 516 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: twenty two on the slugging ten homers. Again, he's not 517 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, batting third or fourth, but a 518 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: guy that could bat lead off for you, a guy 519 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: that he could bat second to mean Gebaut anywhere, he's 520 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: gonna get the bat on the ball. I know lu 521 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 1: Marloni would love to have someone like Donovan, so something 522 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: to think about. I do think he's lower on the 523 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: totem pole, but he's there. I think what I what 524 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: I will say about Craig, what I've noticed about him 525 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. He really sets himself 526 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: up for a lot of possibilities. Right. I think he's 527 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: still needs to work on that decisiveness. He has shown it, 528 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: but there's times where he gets just very uptight, right, 529 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: at least that's what I think, at least from the outside. 530 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 1: I don't know where it seems maybe he likes to 531 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: hang on to guys a little too much, right. You 532 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: did see it at the deadline, you know, he ended 533 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: up getting dustin May where that you know, kind of 534 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 1: didn't really help all that much. I mean again, I've 535 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: been hearing it here with Marte, so he's definitely hugging 536 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: a little bit on the prospects. So but I will 537 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: say he does lay out a lot of opportunities. Now. 538 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: Speaking of speaking of opportunities, well, I mean, ladies and gentlemen, 539 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: we got something else cooking. In the same article, on 540 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: another front, a rival executive said Monday, the Red Sox 541 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: have quietly shocked Brian Bayo, a characterization. A person briefed 542 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: on Boston's conversations disputed. That person, however, said Beo's name 543 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: often surfaces when teams ask about the Red Sox young pitching. 544 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I said this how long ago. I 545 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 1: tweeted this out about a month ago. I'm saying to myself, 546 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, Bao, he was solid last year, but 547 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: when you look at the mextrics and what the Red 548 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: Sox like to do. They want more swing and miss. 549 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: Look at what they did with Richard Fitz Hunter Dobbins, 550 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: two major league starters. Those guys weren't getting a whole 551 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: lot of swing and miss. Same thing with Brian Bayo 552 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: thirteenth percentile with the WIF percentage. Now, I like Bao 553 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: a lot. I'm a big fan. But if the Red 554 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: Sox were looking for a possible upgrade in the rotation 555 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: for someone like Cole Reagan's, could you pop pssibly use 556 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: Bao in that kind of a deal or for I'm 557 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: sorry keep bringing up Marte, but could he be a 558 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: guy that you send back in a Catel Marte trade 559 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: where they need pitching over there, and he's on a 560 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: very friendly contract, he's still under twenty seven years old. 561 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: So that's where I think someone like Bao with what 562 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: the Red Sox are trying to achieve, you know, when 563 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: it comes to the pitching side of things, They're they've 564 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: really revamped things over there. I mean, honestly, could you 565 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: even see something where, you know, even for Donovan Right, 566 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: I mean, could you even do something with Beao in 567 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: a package for Donovan Right? I mean, I think you're 568 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: getting pretty close in values there. With Donovan only is 569 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: a couple more years of control. But Bao with the projections, 570 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: because he lacks that swing and miss, he's uh, he's 571 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: not going to have as high as projections. So it's 572 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: an interesting possibility with him obviously, you know, he was 573 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: here when Bao was coming through. You wonder if maybe 574 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: that could be something just floating out ideas there probably 575 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: not a good one anyway, but I want to be 576 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,479 Speaker 1: surprised that Beao's being brought up in different talks. You know, 577 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: I said Cole Reagan's something with the Nationals. I don't know, 578 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: maybe some kind of a package for Gore or whatever. 579 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: Maybe do a three team trade and Bao goes elsewhere 580 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: and then you bring in Gore or Reagan's or whatever, 581 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: or again Marte, three way trade for Marte. I don't know. 582 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: There's so many ideas, there's so many possibilities. But getting 583 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: back to it, I do think Bao is is a 584 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: possible trade candidate. And this is why I said it 585 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: about a month ago, because he's not fully fitting the 586 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: mold of what the Red Sox are going for. I like, baoh, 587 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: that's not a knock against him. It's more of what 588 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: the Red Sox think. But I wouldn't be surprised at 589 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: all the ends up staying because he is a guy 590 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 1: that he can give you good innings at the bottom 591 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: half of the rotation, you know, as you're three, four, 592 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. So we'll see what ends up happening. 593 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: We'll see what ends up happening. But uh, before we 594 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: get to the last part of the show, everybody just 595 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: reminding you if you can just hit that like button 596 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: for me, and if you aren't new, if you are 597 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: just finding us for the first time, think about subscribing. Listen. 598 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: We're uh, we're trying to get to six k by 599 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: opening day. We're almost there. We're getting there. We've got 600 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: a few more subscribers over the last couple of days here, 601 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: so thank you for joining. If you aren't you, last 602 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: story of the night, last story of the Night, and uh, listen. 603 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: I was a little sad today. I was a little sad. 604 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Rob Snyder, 605 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: my fellow Rob. I mean, why are the Red Sox 606 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: doing this to me? They shipped out my fellow Ginger 607 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: and now they're shipping out my fellow Rob. I mean, 608 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: I mean, goodness, great that they're killing me here. They're 609 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: dragging me across the Cols Rob Refsneiner going to the Mariners. 610 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: This opens up the possibility for Willier and Duran to 611 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: get more abs against left handed pitching. I'm pretty sad, though, 612 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: because I really like ref Snyder. He's been very good. 613 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: He's been so good for the Red Sox. I think, 614 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: honestly one of the more underrated players in the game. 615 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: He's one of those just very key role players. There's 616 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: been several over the years that have helped the Red 617 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: Sox win games. He was another one of them. A 618 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: guy that mashed Lefti's I mean, what a fun combination 619 00:33:54,640 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: that was last year with him and Romill right. Basher's right, 620 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:06,479 Speaker 1: they're basically Mark Maguire Jose Canseco against lefties. He had 621 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: a very solid time of the Red Sox over the 622 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,919 Speaker 1: four years at two seventy six, three sixty four on base, 623 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: a four p forty on the slugging, a one twenty 624 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: four WRC plus really good numbers, very good, good in 625 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: the clubhouse, you know, just a good presence there. Man, 626 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: I'm saying I understand it. I understand why the Red 627 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: Sox are thinking, Hey, you know what, we've had a 628 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: good run. We are going in a bit of a 629 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: different direction. If you want to get will your more 630 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: opportunities against left handed pitching, which I do think he 631 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: needs if you end up keeping Duran, I think he 632 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,359 Speaker 1: needs to improve against left handed pitching. I think both 633 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: those guys need to and this is going to be 634 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: their shot. And I think this is what they're saying here, 635 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: all right, it's time to start letting these guys try 636 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 1: to take it to the next level, right Rob. I 637 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 1: don't think it's anything against Rob. I think they would 638 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: have liked to have had him, But I think the 639 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: just going in a different direction here. I very appreciative 640 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: if everything Rob did for the Red Sox over the 641 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,439 Speaker 1: last four years, he was solid. So in the end, 642 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: I'm sad, no more Ginger, no more Rob. Sad day, 643 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,919 Speaker 1: sad day. But everybody, I'm gonna wrap it up right there. 644 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: Very good show, very good showing from all of you 645 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: here tonight, A very good crowd here tonight, late here 646 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: on the East Coast, eleven fifteen, eleven fourteen pm.

There was a 649 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on here today, But I mean 650 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: we got a couple of days here before Christmas. Craig, 651 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: he's busy, he's working those phones. Man. And also Robert Murray, 652 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: he did say here today. I believe on Foul Territory 653 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: that he wouldn't be surprised if one of Bregman, Bushett, 654 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger, one of those guys ended up signing before Christmas. 655 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: We'll see Bregman changed his picture. Is Bregman coming back? 656 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: Let's hope. So, let's hope. So I think we're almost 657 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 1: done here. If you could get Bregman before Christmas, or 658 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: figure it out for Marty or Borshett. If you could 659 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: figure that out over the next couple of days and 660 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 1: your team is pretty much ready to go, minus a 661 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: couple of little ads like something for the bullpen or 662 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: whatever it may be, I think you're in a good 663 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: spot at that point. That would be a nice Christmas. 664 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,800 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens here everybody. Also, Mark, I forgot 665 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: to bring that up here with Nate eating too. Nate 666 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: Eaton does factor into the rest Snyder thing as well. 667 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 1: I think he showed a lot of good things last year, 668 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: a lot of athleticism, showed some good AB's last year. 669 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: And you still got Roami there too. You got a 670 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: couple of guys, so I forgot to mention that. Thank 671 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: you for bringing that up.
