It is me Joey p 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.920 That of course is the Welsh to the Peanuts and 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:05.600 the Cracker Jacks here talking ball. The Mets had quintessential 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.399 met moments starting on Friday, the Yankees made a deal. 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:13.360 Some other trades have happened, and some rumors abound. We're 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.200 gonna get to all of them today, and Welsh, I 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:20.240 guess we have to start with probably the Jazz chishm trade. 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.600 I think that's where I want to start the Yankees 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:24.680 have been in a bit of a tail spin, although 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:26.640 the weekend here they did kind of, you know, pull 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.520 things out just to Tad last night. So Jazz Chishm, 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.600 a guy with a career three ten obp not gonna 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.600 help them get on base in terms of like getting 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.760 guys up there to drive in runs, versatility. Sure, you 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.000 could play second, you could play the outfield, and apparently 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.960 he might play some third base. But also a guy 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.120 you say, okay, well you take him out of Miami. 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.000 Maybe all of a sudden he gets a bump there. 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.000 But if you look at the career numbers, a seven 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.480 forty ops home on the road, three three home runs 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:59.000 exactly on the road and at home. So, Jazz Chishlm, 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.160 in your opinion, what impact does this make for the 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:03.840 New York Yankees, This deal that they made. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.640 I think it's a solid trade. We were talking off 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.839 air because I was I was poking a little bit 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.239 about you. You had some hits this weekend where you're 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.280 very like the jet You're here, a very Seinfeld. 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:16.200 You're like, what's the deal? 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.360 What jezzose you do? Hey, I know we need somebody 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.280 to get on base. Let's get a guy who never 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.880 does like you can't steal first. I mean, that's all 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.800 I keep saying. Justism is is still an interesting piece. 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.760 I guess the argument Welsh is like, do you look 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.320 at a guy like gestures and say, hey, let's drop 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.080 him in Yankee Stadium, that little tiny ballpark. Let's put 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.800 him in front of Aaron Judge and Juan Soto. Let's 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.519 do that and see what kind of player we could 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.960 get because he's never played with superstars like that before 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.080 in terms of lineup protection. 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.320 Yeah, and that's why I think this is exciting. They've 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.240 also said that they're going to hit him more in 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.080 the middle of the lineup, So this is a kind 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:54.320 that's going to be hitting behind Judge And why why. 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.720 Would you do that to him? Why is why is 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.480 that the way to go and not hitting him too? 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.200 Let's say, well, you're not to take Soto goes too, 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.239 and they like to have Judge three, Like, I think 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:05.720 that's why, simply. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.560 Why you do that? They they said that they feel that. 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.720 There's been some success, very little with Glaber this year, 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.000 but with Glaber in the lead off spot, I think 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.680 that's bull crap. I think what the trade I had 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.840 proposed a long time ago. They need to go get 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.519 Nico Horner. Go get a guy that actually does get 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.760 on base and that can actually be a table setter 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.960 and can go and steal some basses would be the play. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.200 But you know, this is a good move for Jazz 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.680 when you look at I always thought, I like looking 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.400 at this because it's fun. Though it's not like a 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.400 one a one all. But on Baseball Savant, they've got 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.640 the expected home runs by ballpark metric, which you can 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:41.600 go and look and you can just. 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.000 You know, just spysid da da da. 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:47.440 Number one obviously a Cincinnati for Jazz, but number two 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.800 is the New York Yankees. It is the number dup Ballpark. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.720 Based on his hitting profile that he would have a 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:58.160 projected nineteen homers there. He currently has thirteen homers twenty 0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:59.120 three stolen bases. 0:03:59.200 --> 0:03:59.720 So I don't know. 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.480 I think it's a guy who in the back half 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.640 of the order is gonna still be aggressive steel bases. 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.520 We've seen a strikeout rate cut down, there's tons of 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.559 great lineup support in there. But we kind of also. 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:10.080 Know who he is. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.920 He's a two fifty hitter who in theory could be 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.640 this thirty to thirty guy who's got some injury prone 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.880 noess and you just got to hope that guys like 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.159 Judge and Soto are gonna are gonna just kind of 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:23.800 wipe off a little bit. Like he can pick up 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:25.560 some of that on base, he can pick up some 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.960 of that patientness for his overall game. But he's a 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.400 great fantasy player in a better fantasy ballpark. So for me, 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.400 I have nothing else to say, but this is a 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.839 fantastic move for Judge, and there really shouldn't be anything 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.640 else because we could talk about like, oh, Yankees and 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.360 this and then another thing, great fantasy counting stat player 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.120 put in a better counting stat ballpark. 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.280 Huh, love it, love it. 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.320 He's also got a couple of years left of control, 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.960 which that I like to So the Yankees have just 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.240 a little bit I think guarded themselves, and the wan 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.000 so to walk away because I do think he's gonna 0:04:58.000 --> 0:04:59.800 go to the highest bidder, and I'm just still not 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:01.440 so that the highest bider is gonna be the Yankees 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:02.360 at the I do by. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.680 The way, that position eligibility for Jazz would throw in 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:05.960 as well, like well, that. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.080 Was my that was a to me. That was the 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.359 most I would say the best selling point is it 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.520 gives you a little bit of depth there. There's rumors 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.760 that DJ le Mayhew's gonna get dfa'd I saw that 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.839 this morning. I don't know if that happened, but yeah, 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:19.320 if a. 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:20.880 Tree falls in the woods and be like, if he 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:22.320 gets DFA, does anybody care? 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:27.520 I don't, well, he cares. The Yankees, I don't think 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.479 are done. I think they will do something else too. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.640 Uh So, I don't think that is the end. The 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.960 Cubs were in the business of getting Eastot parades from 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:39.160 the Rays for Christopher Morel, so you know those kg 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:43.200 kg Rays. Yet again, they moved Efflyn this weekend to 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.440 to Baltimore, making room for Jeffrey Springs in the rotation. 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.880 He comes back this week. We'll talk more about that later. 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.880 I love how the Rays have basically said, yeah, you're 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.600 just gonna retool toss Bradley's pitching like an ace. Next 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.040 year we get Bradley, we get Springs hopefully. McClanahan, you 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.400 got Junior Camanaro. You make a couple little and the 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.320 Rays are right back at the top of this thing again. 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.440 In this conversation, Welf, what do you think of the 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.040 move here with the Cubs and the Rays. 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.680 Yeah, this is a This one caught me off guard 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.640 in that it was Morel, but I get it, like Morell, 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.880 like you want Morell, You're rooting for Morel. You want 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.279 him to be successful. He's got some of that kind 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.839 of old school hobby by there's a lot of hobby 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.240 by his actually in the excitement of the big power 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.240 and stuff like that, but then also put it. The 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.000 swing and miss is kind of prevalent in his game. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.800 But this is one of those moves where you know 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.440 they're just gonna have more control. They got off of Prade's, 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.760 they got more pieces. He's like a year younger than Praties, 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:42.359 I think, but big, big power, eighteen homers actually a 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.359 solid OBP guy is one hundred point differential between his 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.719 OBP and his batting average, And I think that that's 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.080 something the race can work with, and I think they are. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.560 They're gonna do the five million dollar man. 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.600 We can fix him. They think they can fix him. 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.400 And if you can get Christopher Morell to be what 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.840 some of the expected stats are, which, by the way, 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.159 he's hitting one ninety nine but an expected batting average 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:08.159 of two forty two, there's good barreling, great launch angle 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.080 fourteen degrees, so he gets the ball in the air. 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.440 Look at what Parides did. They're probably going to be like, hey, 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.520 we have this perfect recipe for you. We got this 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:18.600 little baby left ballpark here, this little left field that 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.480 you just need to pull the ball like Parides did, 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.800 and you're going to find success. I actually think again, 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.600 this is a spot where he is going to be 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.559 able to be more successful. He's not like one hundred 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.240 percent pole guy like Praidies was, but I think you're 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.760 going to see him pulling more. He's got some upside 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.080 on the batting average. You've seen a bunch of homers. 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:36.920 Probably going to be a middle of the order guy 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.520 for the Rays until they trade him in a couple 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.800 of years of the deadline because they can't afford anything. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:43.320 Yeah, that makes sense. 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.360 Praidy's in Chicago though, real quick. 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.760 Yes, this is the thing from Kirby here. Kelly's in 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.600 here with at Waukee. Peguin thirteen fewer home runs at 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.280 Wrigley than he does right now. In terms of the 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.040 move to Tampa, so Tampa's always been a tricky place 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:57.960 for offense. But what does this mean for Caminaro too? 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.360 In terms of getting his rear end up to the 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:01.480 major league sooner than later. 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.520 Yeah, both of those so real quick. On the pardee set, 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.760 I didn't even realize this. I was texting with Dennis Zidler, 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.240 friend of the show, because also Chris Morel is one 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:09.880 of his clients. 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.960 So this is a big change. And we're talking about parades. 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:14.400 And one of the things you do have is it's 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.640 like three fifteen in left in Tampa Bay. 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.400 It's like three point fifty in Chicago. 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.560 So for a prime not when I say primary, that 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.040 almost seems like it's not always and only poll hitter 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:29.440 is going to have a further distance, which Wonky mentioned 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.000 the thirteen fewer homers at Wrigley would be something to 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.480 look at. This definitely has the potential to kind of 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.120 bring back Parade's offensive upside if he isn't getting the 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:42.319 ball further further out. Now, the big elephant in the 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:47.680 room Junior Cameron Aro. I assume the smart take is 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.119 that Junior Cameron Aro would be up almost immediately. 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:52.800 But this is the race. 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.000 And I said this last week and everyone was like, hey, 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.560 you know, everything that ever happened Randy traded, Hey, what 0:08:58.640 --> 0:08:59.160 could happen? 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.600 With the one he said, look, it's Paradeius, that's the 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.280 one that's going to open the door. So I do 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.240 think it walk through it. It does. 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:09.320 But also what is their official move with Morel. Probably 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:13.120 Morell would be better being a first basement or a DH, 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.240 but he was a third baseman. So is he going 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.720 to just jump into that role? What is their plan? 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.520 I think they're going to screw with us. I still 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.080 think there's a possibility we don't see him till mid August, 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.120 with even the worst turn being we don't see him 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.680 until mid September, so they control him for next year. 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.160 But the logic is he would come up. He is 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.000 his play, he's deserved of it, he's off of his injury. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.880 He should be up, and you should all speculate on it, 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.480 but just don't have a big freak out when he 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.160 doesn't get called up because Morell does play that position. 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.320 And again this is the raise that we are in 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.880 August almost and they still have not called up Camen Arrow. 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:49.400 Well, I think it what the Rays did with a 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.120 Roseraina two who is a cast off from the Cardinals organization, 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.440 and how they got the most out of him, Like 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:58.280 I'm hopeful they take these guys with electric athleticism and 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.720 turn them into baseball players. And if you could do 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.600 that with morel that's very exciting to me. The Mets 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.120 acquired Jesse Winker. They were kicking the tires on Conforto 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.360 and then landed on Winter Winker. Excuse me instead. Good 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:14.320 move for the Mets. Whether you get Sorry Marte back 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.240 anytime soon, we'll see and how healthy he is, but regardless, 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:19.880 you need more depth than that outfield, and Winkers had 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.199 a very strong season. Ellie de la Cruz three for 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.040 four to four more steals. He is fifty five for 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.880 sixty four on the year. Stealing bass is another show 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.040 put on for Ellie de la Cruz. Man. That guy's 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.760 certainly fun to watch. Some returns this weekend too. Devin 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:39.200 Williams scoreless ninth, very nice, so good news for the 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.480 Brewers who certainly needed some good news, and also good 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.839 news for the race. Jeffrey Springs activated. He's going to 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:45.680 start tomorrow, so that'll be fun. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.160 I am so excited about Jeffrey Springs. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.480 Someone put it in the chat, but like you remember 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.320 last year, I think last year was my real turn 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.800 here on leading off in Fantasy pros where I was 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.280 here like full time like last year, like full full time, 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.320 like all the time, and I came in so hot 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.440 with all my Jeffrey Springs stuff and it was like 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.080 build up, build up, build up, and he's gone and 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.800 I didn't get any of the Jeffrey Springs. So this 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.400 is my first real run. This is like getting injured 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.920 in your rookie year. This is my first real run 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.640 to have a Jeffrey Springs part of the season. And 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:23.040 I am very, very excited about it because as much 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.720 as his stuff never left off as this like is 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:29.959 like Paul Skeens by any means, but just super deceptive 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.640 swing and miss type of stuff. And I'm excited to 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.160 see that slider back in that fastball command combo. I'm 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.120 just very excited about Jeffrey Springs. Could be a little 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.240 bit of bumps and bruises. One of my favorite trade 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.440 targets in Dynasty if you're in the business of drafting 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.280 ear trading, like you know, for like a thirty one 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:46.280 year old starting pitcher. 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.079 But love love Jeffrey Springs. 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.800 Fun team name by any Skeins necessary. Huh you like that? Oh? 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:53.520 I do like that. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.320 We're gonna put it and do the CBS is like 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.079 a team name Friday type of thing. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.800 Team Yeah. Yeah. By the way, there was also a 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.600 on Friday, and I warned everybody, don't get too excited 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.960 because I know the Mets and the Mets are gonna 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.520 met So could I senga right gets activated? There was 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:16.679 a great game strikeouts code, I sing, and then he 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.920 has a cap strain, leaves the game, probably out for 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.439 the year. So so much for the big I mean 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:29.319 they so you got got one one start, one one 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.520 one start all this time. Oh my god, we go 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.320 back to to March and April and all the noise. 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.160 You go here, Look, could I sing, you know it's 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.520 gonna be about a month, it'll be behind And then 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.760 we said yeah, okay, sure, and then it was two months, 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.240 and then it was the All Star break and then 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:44.720 we got him after the All Star break and he 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:51.480 has one start. One is seen to everybody out there. 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.920 Just again, when you're taking on guys with injuries, just 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.560 massive risk. You have to understand everything is not warm 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.760 and fuzzy and it's gonna be great. Uh. Some things 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.679 that were fun predictable. Jordan Hicks moves to the bullpen. 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.840 Everybody thought that was gonna happen. We knew he was 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.560 limited this year. So there you go, Giants making that move. 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.079 The Padres, apparently you're in discussions with the Tigers for 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.640 Jack Flaherty. That would be interesting to see. I love 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.160 where the Padres like just never surrender. I love that 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.760 about the Padres. Good for them, They're just like, do 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.120 you have any prospects left? Let's go. Let's just keep 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.160 trying to win. That's what every team should be doing. 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:23.959 I love that. 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.640 I'm actually really intrigued by it. Because Clarity is going today, 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.920 so I'm not sure so far. 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.400 He's he's he's on the docket to start today, but 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:33.080 we'll see. 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:33.960 I just don't know. 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.000 If, like I feel like there's like the White Sox 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.880 and the Tigers. They it's very gun shy right now 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.320 because like I did not think the Trek scoobl thing 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.360 would would happen. The discussions have opened back up. The 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.320 Orioles are in it, and there are now there's a 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.360 lot of talk that Schooble is more likely to be 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.960 moved than Garrett Crochet and dude, the Garrett Crochet side 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.760 that a month and a half ago, No, but a 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.959 month and a half ago, if you would have asked anybody, 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.480 any inside or any industry person, Garrett Crochet was the 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:02.800 number one player getting traded. 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:03.920 So now that TERRK. 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:05.320 Scrubl has moved in there, but I feel like the 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.520 Tigers are holding their pieces and they just don't know 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.080 exactly which side they want to go, and so if 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.000 they're going to trade one, might as well just trade 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:12.679 both and get the. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.679 It's either Baltimore backing up the truck or he stays. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.000 And I just don't know if Baltimore is going to 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:16.360 back up. 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:17.120 I don't think they are. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:18.439 I don't think they are either, and that's why I 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.560 think he's gonna stay there. Jerry pointing out too about 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.920 Sega the silver lining and everything, is that you know 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.080 now he has this is this thing in the deal 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.880 where you know he can't opt out. So now the 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:32.800 Mets get to just pay him fifteen million dollars a 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.000 year so he does opt out isn't possible anymore. That's 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:40.320 great theoretically, but again, unless he's healthy, what's the difference. 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.680 So whatever, it's a lost season. I'm just annoyed, But 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.040 then again I'm not because this is the Mets like 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.920 and this is just what happens. Also, Carson Kelly gets dealt. 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.600 We'll talk about the fallout from that and what that 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.640 means too. MLB Networks John Hayman also reporting that Eric 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.880 Fetti apparently the Cardinals are looking at him, so that 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.000 would be smart. I think the Cardinals the I think 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.120 everybody kind of smells blood in the water with Milwaukee. 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.160 There's two months left Welsh. I don't think they're wrong. 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.640 I don't. I think when you take Yelich out of 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.560 that lineup, you take Burns out of that rotation. I 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.240 think they're just very vulnerable and they have a credit 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.320 to the manager. You know, he came into a tough spot. 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.240 Two council was very popular. He has been there forever. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.600 The Brewers have done a great job all year, but 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.120 can they finish? And I think that's a big question. 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.240 I think the other organizations look and say, hey, we're 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:29.800 in this thing. Do you agree or disagree? 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:30.080 Yeah? 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.640 And I think I remember the trade I had talked 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.520 about last week. I thought the Brewers would be the 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.480 ones that would go after a guy like Jazz Chisholm, 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.360 because if you're losing Yelich and you want to keep pace, 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.360 you're gonna have to probably make some tough moves in here. 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:46.000 And amazingly the Cardinals are moving away from every single. 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:46.680 Season They're gonna trade. 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.720 They're gonna trade, They're gonna trade, and their buyers, like 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:50.840 right before the end, they just never quite give up. 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.280 And if they're gonna jump back into this. One rumor though, 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.200 I have heard, which is pretty interesting, is the White 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.000 Sox are trying to get Jordan Walker involved in that 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.680 Fetti trade. And I just don't think there's any chance 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.160 the Cardinals are going to allow that to happen. 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.840 But you just never know what other pieces too well. 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.840 See that that's a big why to me? Like Jordan 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.800 Walker at this point, I don't I mean, you've you've 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.880 given him multiple opportunities, he hasn't done anything. If f 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:15.720 Eddie can help you get in the playoffs and be relevant, 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.200 considering you were a crap team last year and you 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:22.600 just destroyed everyone's expectations, why not make that kind of move. 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.880 I think that's okay. I mean, is it overpay a 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.120 little bit, But sometimes you gotta do that stuff, man. Yeah. 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:29.680 But I think for a guy like Eric, I think 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.400 you could put they have a lot of pieces they 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:32.880 could push some other pieces out there. 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.520 But to the point, though it is a glut of riches. 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:40.120 The Cardinals are doing everything plus without Jordan Walker, and 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.120 their biggest depth position has been outfield. I mean they 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.720 literally just keep moving guys. You know, Burlson is dominating 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.040 out that. You've got Noop bar, They've got Carlson sitting 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:50.840 in the wing. I mean, they've just got guys after guy. 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:52.720 Victor Scott is, you know, trying to be. 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:54.600 Aside for another couple of years. You don't, you don't 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:56.320 need it. You don't need Jordan Walker. He doesn't have 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:56.680 a place. 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.520 I don't think they should trade Walker for Fetti. That 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.280 doesn't matter. And I think that's where the. 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.920 Whole Walker's had a lot of opportunities. I like Walker. 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:05.359 I don't think he's done. I think maybe he's a 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.720 guy that needs another place, you know, and I always 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.800 called him Germaine Die. So maybe the White Sox is 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.399 the right place for him after all. Rookie, lookie, some 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.600 fun names on this list. Dylan Dingler, the dingle Berry himself. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.920 So Carson Kelly gets traded. Dingle Berry gets the call, 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.480 very excited about this, very hot at triple A. Five 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.920 straight games with a home run, hitting three zero eight 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.800 three seventy nine, fifty nine seventeen homers, fifty two rubbies, 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:34.400 five steals. A catcher, it's very exciting. The Dingler is up. 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.760 What do you make? What's the deal with the Dingler. 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.199 I'm not as excited about the Dingler as you, but 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:42.040 I mean. 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.320 I think everybody loves the Dangler. 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:48.399 Take your same Carson Kelly Rostering energy and put that 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:50.760 to Dylan Dingler. If you're in like a two catcher league, 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.439
