1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Scott Boris. Let's face it, the numbers we expected have

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: not been there. And in this world, in the world

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: of agent thing, in the world of contracts, in the

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: world of free agency, what matters is the guarantee. Welcome

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: everyone to another edition of fair Territory. I am coming

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: to you. Actually, I will feel where I am today.

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm in Tampa. I'm in a hotel room. It's not

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: my usual beautiful setup, but this is the way it

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: is on the road. I'm at spring training in Florida,

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: bouncing around, and we have a lot to talk about

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: this week, starting with the Matt Chapman signing. Because it's

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: interesting in so many different ways, I want to give

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: you the details first. As reported by Andrew Baggerley of

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: The Athletic, the contract itself, as announced by the Giants

15
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: is rather intriguing. It is a three year deal, three

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: year guarantee, but the Giants announced it as a one

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: year contract with a seventeen million dollars player option for

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five or buy out an eighteen million dollar

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: player option for twenty twenty six. That's guaranteed money. Player

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: options are guaranteed money, and then a mutual option for

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven, so three years, fifty four million, a price

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: for Matt Chapman that I don't know that many of

23
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: us would have envisioned. At the start of the offseason

24
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, actually around twenty twenty, he

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: turned down one hundred and fifty million over ten years

26
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: from the A's last spring. Reportedly, he turned down one

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty million for six years from the Blue Jays.

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: That's something that Scott Boris, the agent, disputes, says that's inaccurate.

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: Whatever it was reported, and I've heard it myself. Then

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: he signs for fifty four million. So for the Giants,

31
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: this is a tremendous move, and it starts to look

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: with the Giants like their off season is coming together

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: rather nicely, even if it ends with this transaction. I'm

34
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: talking about the moves that they've made with their starting pitching,

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks, signing him to be a starter, can always

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: be a reliever. Robbie they acquired him in a trade

37
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: from the Mariners. He will be available in the second

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: half of the season and then the offensive and I

39
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: should say defensive additions as well, Jung Hoolee and centerfield

40
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: Chapman at third base, Jorge Solaire. We don't count him

41
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: as a defensive edition, but certainly a really good hitter,

42
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: the right handed power bat that they need. So they've

43
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: done some good things here. As Andrew Baggerley pointed out

44
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: in The Athletic on Sunday, they had to improve their defense.

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: The most errors in the National League last season. They

46
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: had the greatest ground ball staff in the National League,

47
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: or the highest percentage of ground balls among their pitchers,

48
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: and yet with a poorers in field defense that wasn't

49
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: really such a great thing because well, the balls got

50
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: through and Logan Web in particular suffered. He's one of

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: the best ground ball pitchers in the game. So now

52
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: they have Chapman at third, the potential for Nick Ahmed

53
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: at short and I actually tempted to play him, even

54
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: though Nick doesn't really hit much. That would give them

55
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: an air tight defense on the left side of the infield.

56
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: Lee in centerfield is going to be athletic. We don't

57
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: know if he will hit. Now, they still have moves

58
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: that they could make. Most notably, I would say right

59
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: now a trade of JD. Davis, who seemingly has no

60
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: place on their roster at least the way it's formulated

61
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: with Chapman coming over, Wilma Flores first base, and a

62
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: number of others in the mix as well. So JD.

63
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: Davis is expendable, and I would think you could move

64
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: his salary and maybe get something in return. The other

65
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: question that people keep asking is will the Giants sign

66
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: Blake Snell? The president baseball Operations fah Anxiety, spoke to

67
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: reporters Sunday and he said a number of things, some

68
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 1: of them contradictory, and let's go through them a little bit.

69
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: I want to start off with this quote, the off

70
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: season's really over as far as we're concerned. We have

71
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: talked all off season and been very consistent that our

72
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: plan was to continue to graduate. Some of our pictures

73
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: were really high on, particularly in the rotation. Axiety later

74
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: noted that he said almost the same thing after Jorges

75
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: Solaire signed, the off season is over, and he also

76
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: left room to make another addition if possible, and Blake

77
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: Snell would be the obvious one. Let's take a look

78
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: at the Giant's rotation as it is presently constituted with

79
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: the loss of Tristan Beck. He's out. Now, let's see

80
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: what they have because they're still waiting on Robbie Ray

81
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: and Alex Cobb. This would be the opening day group

82
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: if they had to open right now. Logan Webb, Jordan Hicks,

83
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Harrison, Keaton Wynn, Sean Jelly. That is not the

84
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: kind of group you want to compete with. You don't

85
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: know about the four guys behind Webb. You just don't know.

86
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: So Blake Snell is still a perfect fit for them.

87
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: But it has to be a situation obviously for the

88
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: Giants where they deemed the price acceptable. As far as

89
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: where they are right now and this Chapman move, I

90
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: want to dive into it because the details are fascinating

91
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: to me. Now. Scott Boris will say, as I mentioned earlier,

92
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: that he wanted this type of deal because this way

93
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: Chapman can get back in the marketing. At the finger

94
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: injury last year, he didn't get the long term deal

95
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: that he originally was seeking. Whatever, here's how attractive it

96
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: was for the Giants. I don't know if you guys

97
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: read this, but the other day in the wind Up,

98
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: I wrote that Chapman and Snell were problematic for teams

99
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 1: on opt out situations because if they left after one year.

100
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: These are guys who rejected a qualifying offer, so you

101
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: lose a draft pick. Okay, they're gonna lose a draft

102
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: pick for Matt Chapman, and they're not getting one back

103
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: if he opts out because you cannot give a player

104
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: a second qualifying offer. That draft pick, what is it worth? Well,

105
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: it's number fifty one for the Giants, the one that

106
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: they sacrificed for Chapman. And the slot value for that

107
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: pick last year was about one point sixty six million.

108
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm estimating guessing it will go up to about one

109
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: point eight million this year. What's the draft pick worth? Okay?

110
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: Steve Cohen, the Mets owner if they failed to sign

111
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: Kumar Rocker a few years back, had this tweet, and

112
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: this tweet kind of revealed how teams think about the

113
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: value of draft picks education time. Cohen said, baseball draft

114
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: picks are worth up to five times their slot value

115
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: to clubs. I never shy away from investments that can

116
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: make me that type of return. All right, That was

117
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: talking about Rocker. Not relevant to our conversation here. What

118
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: is relevant is what he said, draft picks worth up

119
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: to five times their slot value. The slot value of

120
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: the Giants pick. The one they're losing is going to be,

121
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: in my estimation, about one point eight million. Multiply that

122
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: by five, it's worth nine million. What is Matt Chapman

123
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: getting in year one twenty million, So they're essentially doing

124
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: a twenty nine million dollar investment when you put everything

125
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: together in Matt Chapman for one year on a one

126
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: year deal. Clubs will take that all the time for

127
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: a player of this caliber. Now, keep in mind Matt

128
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: Chapman last year three point five war and fangrafts as

129
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: nation four point one, the year before four point two,

130
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: the year before that. I know I'm getting in the

131
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: weeds here with the math, but I want people to

132
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: understand this because it is really explanatory of what is

133
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: going on here. So again, Matt Chapman, let's take him

134
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: at last year's ward three and a half. Each point

135
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: of war, the club's believe is worth between eight and

136
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: ten million, So Chapman last year worth between twenty eight

137
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: and thirty five million. If he goes up to four war,

138
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: that's thirty two to forty million, and that is right

139
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: around where this deal is again, twenty nine million combined

140
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: salary and draft pick estimation, and he's worth probably more

141
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: than that on a one year deal. That is why

142
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: they were willing to give up the draft pick. So

143
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: the Matt Chapman deal a clear win for the Giants.

144
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: It's going to be really interesting to see if they

145
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: go out and get Snell as well, or if they

146
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: stand down at this point and indeed commit to their

147
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: younger pitchers. It's a dangerous game to play early in

148
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: the season. You could get buried. But they they do

149
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: have Cobb coming back sooner than they probably expected, maybe

150
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: sometime in the first half, and then Robbie Ray in

151
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: the second half. The Giants, to me, suddenly are a

152
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: lot more interesting than they were twenty four hours ago,

153
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: four weeks ago, two months ago. This is a team

154
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: that I don't know is going to overtake the Dodgers,

155
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: but they certainly can compete for a postseason birth. The

156
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: other big news out of the weekend Ronald d'acunya and

157
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: the concern about the irritation around the meniscus in his

158
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: right knee. Akunya flew to Los Angeles from the Braves

159
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 1: training site on the west coast of Florida. That indicates

160
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: a level of concern now we'll have to see how

161
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: this all plays out. That's the same knee he had

162
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: reconstructed in July twenty twenty one. He's going to see

163
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: doctor Neil Elatrosh surgeon. Olexanthopolis, President base Operations, though, said

164
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: on Sunday that he is a high level of confidence

165
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: that Akunya will be ready for opening Day. Obviously, let's

166
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: all hope that is the case. This is one of

167
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: the game's most exciting players, not to mention, really the

168
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: centerpiece of the Atlanta Braves, the leadoff man, the right fielder,

169
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: the reigning MVP, just a thrilling guy to watch on

170
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: a daily basis. The mere prospect of him being out

171
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: for any degree of time kind of reminds me of

172
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: how much it is folly to predict or project what

173
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: is going to happen in any given season. Now, teams

174
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: do this all the time. They have their models, they

175
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: try to actually play out the season, simulate it to

176
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: see where their strengths and weaknesses are. Websites like Fangraphs

177
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: and Baseball Perspectives also project records. It's fun to look at,

178
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. I love it, and it

179
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: gives you an idea of teams relative strengths. But I

180
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: always say this when people ask me, all right, who

181
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: do you think is going to be good? My answer,

182
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: tell me who's going to get hurt, tell me who's

183
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: going to get traded, and then I can tell you

184
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: exactly what's going to happen. But the bottom line is,

185
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: we don't know who's getting hurt, we don't know who's

186
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: getting traded, and frankly, we also don't know the variables

187
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 1: in performance that we'll see over the course of a

188
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: season with any number of players. That's why we play

189
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: the games, folks, because we don't know what is going

190
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: to happen. Time now for the Inside Dish, the part

191
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: of the show where I talk about a story I've written,

192
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: a trend in the game, or something else that might

193
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: be on my mind. This week, the subject is Mike Trout.

194
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: Every spring for Fox, I sit down with a number

195
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: of players from a number of different teams and interview

196
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: them for features that were going to run on our

197
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: pregame shows throughout the course of a season. This year,

198
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: I believe I did six teams, all of them were

199
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: in Arizona, and I sat down with Trout last week

200
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: as part of the group of players we were interviewing

201
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: with the Angels, Obviously, anytime you talked about it's going

202
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: to be interesting. And with him right now, there are

203
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: a lot of questions and a lot of things that

204
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: fans want to know. The main thing fans seem to

205
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: want to know is why he won't ask out, why

206
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't demand a trade. And I've seen various comment

207
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: from people, even some of the media at times saying, well,

208
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: what's up with Mike Trout? Does he not want to win?

209
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: Is he just too comfortable in Anaheim? What's his problem?

210
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: And in this interview, which I wrote about for The

211
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: Athletic on Monday, I asked Trout that question. I asked him, hey,

212
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: do you hear the noise? Do you hear what people

213
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: are saying about you? And he said yes, and it

214
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: makes me want to win here even more now. That

215
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: has been his consistent point of view really for the

216
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: past several years, as we've begun to ask him, hey, man,

217
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: why are you content to be here? He wants to

218
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: win in Anaheim. As problematic as an ideas we might

219
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: all think, that is, that is his idea. And it

220
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: goes back to something that he has said to me

221
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: over the years and frankly in many interviews, he grew

222
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: up in Millville, New Jersey. Derek jud was his favorite player.

223
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: Derek Juter played for one team. That is what Mike

224
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: Trout wants to do. He also signed a contract which

225
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: until Shoheotani was the richest contract in baseball history with

226
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: the Angels, over four hundred million dollars. When all told,

227
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: if Mike Trout asked out at any point, there would

228
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: be some people, I'll guarantee you in this world who

229
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: would say, huh, that's some loyalty. He's showing to the

230
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: guy who committed four hundred million to him, what's up

231
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: with that? Well, he's not doing that. At the same time,

232
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: he is becoming more vocal, and he saw that. In

233
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: his initial spring training news conference, he admitted to kind

234
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: of lobbying the front office and Artie Marino, the owner,

235
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: for free agent additions. His point was, there are a

236
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: lot of good players still out there. Let's go, let's

237
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: get some help. I don't know that he had said

238
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: anything like that ever before, and he has been adamant

239
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: that he wants to win, and he was adamant in

240
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: this interview as well. That's his goal, and that is

241
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: his sheer desire. There's another part of this as well,

242
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: his own performance. Over the past three seasons. Mike Trout

243
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: has played in fewer than fifty percent of the Angels games. Now,

244
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: last year, of course, he had the hame fractor that

245
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: occurred on a swing. Some of these things just cannot

246
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: be helped. It takes some luck to stay healthy, as

247
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: well as good training and all of that. But Trout

248
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: is hell bent, repeat hellbent on becoming the player he

249
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: once was. And keep in mind, let's not forget who

250
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: he is. From twenty twelve twenty nineteen, this cat was

251
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: first or second in the American League MVP voting seven

252
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: out of eight years. In twenty twenty two forty home

253
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: runs in one hundred and eighteen games, he was eighth

254
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: in the MVP voting and that was an injury marred season.

255
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: So he talked with me about some mechanical adjustments he's

256
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: trying to make, and he also talked about how much

257
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: he wants to get back to MVP form, how much

258
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: that means to him. And let's keep in mind, if

259
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: he does get back to that, and he doesn't think

260
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: he's in decline, he thinks He's got some mechanical things

261
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: to work out, and he'll be fine. Okay, if he

262
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: does get back to that MVP form, suddenly the Angels

263
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: might look like a different team. They haven't done much

264
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: this offseason. We all know that they've added some of

265
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: the bullpen looks a little bit better than it did

266
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: in the past, and their position club. While they haven't

267
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: really done anything there of consequence, it can be a

268
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: pretty good group of healthy They've got some interesting young players.

269
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: The rotation is still questionable, of course, but if Trout

270
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: is healthy and Trout is Trout, well, I know they

271
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: haven't made the playoffs since twenty fourteen even when he's healthy,

272
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: but it kind of changes the equation. So that is

273
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: his mindset right now. He wants to be healthy, he

274
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: wants to win an Anaheim and really at this point,

275
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: he's not thinking about much else now. At some point,

276
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: will Mike Trout reached his own breaking point? I believe

277
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: he might. And obviously, if he's a better player than

278
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: he's been the past few years, a healthier player, he'd

279
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: have aid value. And keep in mind, with a full

280
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: note trade clause, he can basically pick his destination. But

281
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: he's not there yet, and those of us in the media,

282
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: those of us who are fans, I don't know that

283
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: we should be rushing him. It's his call, and it

284
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's not a winner or it doesn't want

285
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: to win or anything like that. When he chooses to

286
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: stay an Ani, he has his reasons. If this guy

287
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: didn't want to win, he wouldn't be working the way

288
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: he works. And Ron Washington is quoted in My Calm

289
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: on Monday as basically saying he works to the point

290
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: where it's almost out of control. He wouldn't ever have

291
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: been in the position he's in. One of the best

292
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: players of all time. He's hungry. He wants to win.

293
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: Of course, he wants to win. So for people to

294
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: question his motivations, his mentality, I don't buy that. But

295
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: it's going to have to happen on his own pace.

296
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: He's made that pretty clear. And let's see what happens

297
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: this year, because it seems to me he's getting there.

298
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: It's slow, he's not rushing into any decision, but he

299
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: is becoming less and less patient with what is going

300
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: on in Anaheim. And of course, who can blame him?

301
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: All right? Tie out for the dude and dork of

302
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: the week, the dude of the week. I don't know

303
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: if it gets any easier now. This guy's been the

304
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: dude of the week I don't all a gazillion times

305
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: already in the first year of fair territory. But of

306
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: course it's Sho Heo Tani. Not only is the off

307
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: to a blazing start this spring, the dude got married.

308
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: Congratulations today, Congratulations on your nuptials. It was an interesting announcement.

309
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: And if you read Dellen Hernandez in the La Times,

310
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: who has a real good sense of Japanese culture, he's

311
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: half Japanese, he explained why it was done this way,

312
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: why show he chose to kind of just spring it

313
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: on us. But congratulations to Sho Heeo Tani again due

314
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: to the week married man of the Week, slugger of

315
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: the week, he does it all. Dirk of the Week.

316
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to be careful with my wording here. I'm

317
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: going to be careful because this dork of the week

318
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: is likely going to get me a phone call the

319
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: dork of the week, and I'm going to say it's

320
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: a pending dork of the week, and this will not

321
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: be resolved for quite some time. But for now dork

322
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: of the Week is Scott Boris, and it's Scott Boris

323
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: because these deals are not at the level that so

324
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: many of us expected. But the reason that it's pending

325
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: is because we've seen Boris do this before, where he

326
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: gets guys on one year and then they ultimately signed

327
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: for much bigger dollars. It's happened with Carlos Korea, most

328
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: notably Adrian Belcher going back to his pillow contract with

329
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. It's not over yet, but Scott Boris,

330
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: let's face it, the numbers we expected have not been there.

331
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,239
Speaker 1: And in this world, in the world of agent ding

332
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: and the world of contracts, in the world of free agents,

333
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: what matters is the guarantee. That's what matters. The opt

334
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: outs are nice, and yes, all these guys bet Chapman,

335
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 1: Cody Bellingdry, maybe it's Snell to Jordan Montgomery. If they

336
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: get the opt outs, they can go out to the

337
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: market again, but they have to prove themselves first. So

338
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: the guarantee is what you always want. And I know

339
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: all of these free agents have warts, they're flaws. We've

340
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: talked about them, and the market's been a little bit different.

341
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: There are reasons why this has happened, but I will

342
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: tell you certain club officials are quite happy about this

343
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: turn of events. Scott Boris has a great free agent

344
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: class next year. Again before the opt out guys, before

345
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: we even get started with those guys, I'm talking about

346
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: Juan Soto, I'm talking about Corbyn Burns, Pete Alonso, Alex

347
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: Bregman and Moore. He's gonna be just fine, but he's

348
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: PENDINGYRK of the Week. Sorry, Scott. Here we go with

349
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: Quill and Ken. Let's get to your questions. And I

350
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: believe the first question comes from a rather notable name

351
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: this week, kind of a celebrity question. It comes from

352
00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: Matt Strom, Philadelphia Phillies reliever, who asks, Hey, what's this

353
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: fancy thing? And he links to something about traject Sports.

354
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: Traject Sports builds advanced pitching robots that precisely replicate tracked pitches,

355
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: and it's something that is quite an innovation, to say

356
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: the least. And Matt, in an interview with Rob Bradford

357
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: of WEEI, kind of lamented that these machines, which can

358
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: replicate any pitcher and any pitch that the pitcher throws,

359
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: are now going to be available to hitters throughout every game.

360
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: They weren't available in past years during games because the

361
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: wireless connection wasn't proper, something along those lines, but this

362
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: year they will be available. So if you want to see,

363
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: for instance, Joan Duran's fastball and you're gonna be a

364
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: pinch hitter late in the game, say the Cleveland Guardians,

365
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: you want to see his fastball, you can sit in

366
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: the cage, have the traject wound up to the one

367
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: hundred and two miles an hour. Duran's gonna throw. The

368
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: ball's going to come at you as it would out

369
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: of Duran's hand. And Matt in his interview with Rob Bradford,

370
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: his question was or his problem with this was, Hey,

371
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: it's a huge advantage for hitters, and what about pictures.

372
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: He's got a point. The only thing is that it's

373
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: all teams that face this problem and all pictures that

374
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: face this problem or this challenge. I wish you'd say,

375
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: and it's not going to get turned around now. Maybe

376
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: they can develop something along the same lines for pictures.

377
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 1: It's a complicated question, but Matt has been outspoken about this.

378
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: I believe that's why he popped in with that question.

379
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's say if we have any fan questions

380
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: in addition to player questions this week, let's go to

381
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: HD Baltimore Bird Dog. I don't think i've ever heard

382
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: your opinion on expanding to thirty two teams. If the

383
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: current move of the Athletics to Las Vegas goes through

384
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: beyond Nashville, where is the other expansion city. It's interesting, HD.

385
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: I assume like you do, that Nashville will be the

386
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: eastern expansion team. There's so much more men there. I

387
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: know Atlanta and Saint Louis and Cincinnati might have some objections.

388
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: They all draw fans from that Nashville area, but that

389
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: is a booming city. It's a perfect market. They've got

390
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 1: a great ownership group. It seems like a lot. The

391
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: real question is what happens out west. Portland has been

392
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: a factor, Salt Lake City has been a factor, And

393
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that we can dismiss Oakland because once

394
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: the A's leave, Oakland is going to want to get

395
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,239
Speaker 1: into the expansion derby. Now, Baseball's position on Oakland has been,

396
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: of course, that they can't come up with the money,

397
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: they can't build the stadium, they can't do this, can't

398
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: do that blah blah blah. Oakland believes quite the opposite.

399
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: Oakland has come up with plans and shown the league plans.

400
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: League doesn't believe it. Whatever, you still want to get

401
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: into that market, or back into that market if you

402
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: can with a new stadium. I said this on foul territory,

403
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: and I'll say it again. Give that fan base, small

404
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: but fiercely loyal, a new ballpark, competitive team, and you

405
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: see you watch how that group grows and supports that team.

406
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: I'd like to see them get another chance. All right.

407
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: Final question, This one comes from Tom Johnson, who asks, ooh,

408
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: will Alex Corra survive this season? My answer to that

409
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: is yes. Why would anyone think this is on core?

410
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: The Red Sox ownership, which has basically hibernated this winter,

411
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: has not done enough to improve the team. They've signed Gilido,

412
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: They've done some things, but not nearly enough. If they

413
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: signed Jordan Montgomery, different story, and then maybe you can ask, Okay,

414
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: is Alex Cora I don't know on the hot seat,

415
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: but I don't think this is on him at all. Frankly,

416
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: this is on ownership which changed presidents of baseball operations

417
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: and yet has not changed its spending style. Corra, though,

418
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: is a free agent at the end of the year,

419
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: and it's going to be interesting to see if he

420
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: wants to continue managing. That's the first question always, and

421
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 1: he's talked about how it's not that easy in Boston

422
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: to keep managing year after year after year. And also

423
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: will be interesting to see if the Red Sox play

424
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: to a level that people are going to say, you

425
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: know what, Alex cors still has it. So I don't

426
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: know that he's in any jeopardy as far as in

427
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: mid season firing, but will he be back in twenty

428
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: twenty five. That's one of the biggest questions surrounding the

429
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: Red Sox right now. I want to thank everyone for

430
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: their questions. I want to thank everyone for listening, for watching.
