James, my brain is fried from today. 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.000 I mean mine too. We just streamed for two and 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:55.680 a half hours with the wind up. I did hours 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.040 stream with NBC, marked another hour and made a video 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.000 on his channel just I mean, it's a great day 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.840 baseball content. It's very the baseball trade deadline is the 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.080 best trade deadline sports. I've no issue saying that either, 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.400 Simon Close. No, It's just it was lovely, lovely day 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.959 of content, lots of interesting trades, and we. 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:12.440 Were I wasn't. 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.640 I'm not gonna say we're crashing out, but when we 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.880 got to like five point fifteen, we were pretty upset 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:18.640 about what was going on with the Mets deadline. 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.800 Yeah, because I think a big thing that was going 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.720 on is that we saw these other teams around the 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.840 league getting some packages that we really really like, specifically 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.759 what the Cardinals got for Dustin May and Jojo Romero, 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.480 and it felt like the Mets were selling themselves short 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.520 a little bit. What happened, No, I was saying like, yeah, like, 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.759 oh oh, that could have been Clay Homes in Brokrayli. Yeah, 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.360 that the Mets were selling them self short by no 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.600 packaging guys together. And within I think five minutes of 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.240 us going on a little bit of rant about not 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.160 packaging guys and losing out on maybe better prospects, Mets 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.320 went out and got their best prospect in this entire 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.720 trade deadline, Clay Homes and Tyrone Taylor going to the 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.720 Chicago Cubs for Jefferson Rojas. 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:54.800 Yes, that's a big one. 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.600 I think there will be some arguments about who was 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.960 the best prospect because now all everything learning about the 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.560 million petree is is going to the rocket ship moon 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:02.960 right now in terms of advanced day of the But 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.400 Rojas is definitely, in terms of public list by far 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.720 the highest ranked prospect we got one of the five 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.799 or so highest I mean guess not really because the 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:12.120 Red Sox kind of blew the whole thing out of 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.600 the water. Definitely one of the ten highest ranked prospects 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.239 that got traded this deadline between where you look, he 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:18.800 could be like a top fifty guy versus a top 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.720 hundred guy. He is playing a lot of second, third 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.200 and short in the minus of the Cubs. We called 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.640 him out last week as the target, Yes, from the Cups, 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.800 we said the multiple times I said them one of us. 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.880 The Cubs fans were yelling at me saying, no chance. 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:31.920 I got back into every single one of their replies 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:33.799 today right when that trade happened. Course, so they would 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.560 never trade the top one hundred prospect for a rental 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.760 starting pitcher. Nice tray guys, but he is We like 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.040 the bat a lot on Jefferson Rojas. We think that 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.200 between his contact his power, he has a chance to 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.839 have a really soft landing as a major leaguer one day. 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.080 He's aggressive, so maybe you weed some of that out, 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.040 or maybe it's just his superpower and you keep that in. 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.120 But I think his prospect public ranking gets a teeny 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.440 bit overrated because it doesn't seem like he's going to 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:58.600 continue to be a shortstop. 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.880 But it doesn't mean can't be good player. What are 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.680 the eggs a velos on him? Are they good enough? 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.560 Yes, they are good enough. So we did have those 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.840 and we shared them last week. I'm gonna I forget it. 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:08.800 It's like one ten right, I think I. 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.440 Think he had a one ten max And uh, it's 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.640 a one ten max one oh four to ninety thirty 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.520 seven percent hard hitd So it's good, not great, totally 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.080 fine right there. But with his contact rate only a 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.919 fourteen percent in zone miss, which is low, a thirty 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:23.520 one percent chase which is also pretty low for how 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.200 much of a free swinger. He has fifty one percent 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.080 swing rate, So it's it's a it's a completely fine 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.480 having profiles definitely tens closer to good than great. And 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.519 then with hopefully premium defense to two other infield positions. 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:35.400 Solid profile. 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.120 So what's really funny about Jefferson Rojas is like, again, 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.440 consensus wise, probably considered the best prospect that the Mets 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.640 traded for I think when you're taking everyone as. 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:44.760 A whole and in the Mets system. 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.440 Yeah, and in the Mets system right now, which is 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.000 kind of funny, but also at the same time, unlike 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:50.640 a lot of the other prospects that we're going to 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.480 talk about today's video, he is the opposite of what 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.680 it seems like the Mets goal was from a prospect standpoint, 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.720 where Jefferson Rojas feels very well rounded. He doesn't have 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.800 any necessarily elite traits by any means, but it seems 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.000 like he's going to be a very very capable, solid 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.200 major league guy. Good floor, dude. 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:10.680 It feels like in my opinion. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.560 Yeah, I agree, this is a really high likelihood. 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.160 Jefferson Rojas plays a lot of baseball for the New 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.919 York Mets organization and again wherever that may mix it, 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:19.400 and also could be a thing where I'm saying he's 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:20.400 trending off shortstop. 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:21.799 He could probably still be a short. 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.520 Stop when he's twenty three to twenty four years old, 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.920 depending on if that fits the timeline Francisco, and they're 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.000 moving to second base whereever happens this offseason. And we 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.240 talked about this a lot on the stream, but it 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.600 felt like the Mets as an organization were so incredibly 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.080 comfortable with what this outfield's going to look like for 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.560 at least the next five six seasons. 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.400 After this one. Yeah, so they slammed infield. 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.680 They got so many guys they think can eventually fill 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.120 up this infield because I'm not sure if you guys remember, 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.520 but the last crop of infield prospects didn't super work 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:50.200 out for the Mets. 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.280 So who could those guys be? Was it? I don't know, 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.400 Mark Veenze's, Bret Bady, Ronnie Mauricio. 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.839 Yeah, don't recall whatever happened there, but it's we got 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.200 a lot of depth there. And again, Rojas is incredibly 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.600 solid prospect. The Cups fans are overrating him a bit. 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.640 I think baseball will be pipeline over rates him a bit. 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.440 But he's a good ballplayer. 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.159 Yeah, twenty one years old, double a playing good baseball 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.680 session to see what we can get out of him. 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.359 Maybe he's a guy who finishes the year at Triple A. 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.080 Yeah, he's also one of those guys who was signed 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.680 very young out of Dominican Republic. So when you look 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.279 at his measurements on the websites, he's five to eleven, 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:20.880 one to fifty. 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:22.640 Is there a world where they actually. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.240 Just send him to Triple A now because they want 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:25.880 Mitch Voyd to play every day at shortstop? 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:26.520 Yeah? 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:26.960 I think so. 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.480 I think he's going right to Triple AX. I think 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.880 he's got in contention to beat half a roster spot 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.640 for next season for sure. But he wasn't playing short 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.719 stop every day and for the Cups IOWA. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.080 I guess that will tell us a lot about what 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:37.440 they think. 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.360 Yeah, he's played most of his games at third this year. 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.159 And it's also on Jefferson Rojas aggression. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.839 So again, that's something I'd be looking at, is swing decisions. 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.400 But we have good contact, good power, good defense. It's 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:49.880 he is. 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:51.840 He's like exactly what you think about. With a fringe 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:52.360 top bunch of. 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.880 Prospects pouring out for Clayholmes and Tyrone Taylor, thank you 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:55.920 very much for your service. 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.280 Yeah, especially Tyrone. He was so happy to be a man. 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.320 He was so happy this season with his family here 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.760 and yeah, good story. 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:03.919 Yeah, and good for Tyrone. 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.960 He's been unbelievable recently, so I hope it does really 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.280 well with the Cubs again. Good luck to Clay Holmes 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.840 and Tyrone Taylor, two guys that I enjoyed their time 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:11.560 as a New York. 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:12.320 Met very much. 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.000 So now we'll get to the one that was the 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.960 one that got Metchan's freaking out a little bit to that. 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.479 Yes, that's gonna be the Luke Weaver plus money to 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.159 the Pittsburgh Pirates for Friend of the Podcast, Friend of 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.560 the Channel. Sammy Stefora, lifelong Mets. 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.600 Fan, and we love Sammy. We're gonna try and talk 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.120 to him at some point on this show. He's longtime 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.240 with draftneckmark watcher, which is pretty funny. 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.760 It's insitant to get that from like a prospect. It's 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.479 like I've been watching for song. I'm like, oh my god, 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.159 you were like a very young child watching my videos. 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.040 I was cursing up a storm, right, but yeah, right, 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.919 he was eleven. But for Luke Weaver, and we have 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.720 the David Stearns press conference going on right now. He said, 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.159 ultimately the returns that we were able to get we 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:51.919 thought made sense. We're in the best interest in the 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.479 organizations being very incredibly he's like chopped and screwed in 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.520 in this vine. Few do you see this, these videos 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:58.839 of David Stearns coming on the internet. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.039 I don't want to hear anybody talk right now. This 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:01.760 is crazy. 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:05.440 But I do think that's like a misconception where it's like, 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.040 I can't believe you couldn't get more. These guys are 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.520 scouring phone lines every single seconds. The only thing that 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.720 these guys are doing for the last four or five days. Now, 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:14.760 I think what happens is that it's kind of a 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.480 slap in the face in terms of the value of 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.280 a player. It's hard for us to believe because we've 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:22.200 watched Luke Weaver be so incredibly dominant and consistent this 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.040 entire year out of the bullpen, but it just didn't 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.680 seem like anybody really wanted them too badly. And I 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.320 think in that case, again, like we said, it may 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.160 have made sense to package some of these guys together 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:33.880 as we talk about the returns for minto Rally and 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.960 Brasbon here in a moment, but that's just the decisions 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.000 they made for better or worse. 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:38.760 So what can you do? 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.280 Yeah, maybe just because of all the money owed to 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.760 Weaver's gonna sound crazy, but like it was tough to 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.120 package him because then when you package him together, it's 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.000 actually kind of similar to the money that you knowed 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.520 Derek Skouoble for the rest of the year. And there's 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.680 not really anybody that was particular. It's that crazy as 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.360 it sounds, interested in giving up a lot for him, 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.320 and he's way better than anything the Mets would ever 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:58.800 give up. So yeah, I guess the money did play 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:00.880 a big part of it. And simister Forer like to 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.360 talk about him as a prospect again, he's a traits guy. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.920 He's a mega mega trates guy. He is a really 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.800 really good athlete. He is an unbelievably aggressive swinger, like 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.760 doesn't really see many pitches he doesn't like, and he 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.160 puts really good contact on the ball when he makes 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:16.760 contact with it. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.679 Loud exit velos, Yeah. 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.280 Loud exit filos. He is repeating high A this year. 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.280 I think he's only twenty years old if I remember correctly. 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.320 But in repeating twenty one year old year. But yeah, 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.480 he's twenty, Yes he's No, he's twenty one and eight months. 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:30.840 So this says, this is age twenty one season. 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:32.440 Okay, this is age twenty one season. Then yes, next 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:33.559 year's age twenty two season. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.839 We have another year for him on the rule five 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:37.960 forty man clock where Jeffson Rojas needs to be added 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:39.200 to the forty man at the end of this year. 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:40.920 So I do think there's a chance he gets triple 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:42.720 A reps by the end of the season, whether whatever 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:43.920 position those may be yet. 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.160 But Spoor was more. 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.240 Of a contact hi there heading into the season. All 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:49.840 of a sudden, I don't know what got into the 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:50.760 guy because. 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.000 He's ripping the ball all over the place. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.200 He just had like a fourteen home er month with 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.240 pirates higher crazy, which I feel like because Greensboro's known 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.160 as a hither friendly park in speak. 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.400 Yes, so again, grain of salt. But he put the 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.200 ball out of the ball part fourteen times in a month. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.000 His eggsit velocities over here I have that were courtesy 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.040 of TJ Stats. He put them on Twitter when to 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.280 five that second, everyone just tweeted so much stage so 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:12.040 hard to scroll. 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:12.680 Back and find these things. 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.760 I forgot the bookmark as we were going through all 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.480 the chaos. TJ Stats quick tierless of every team with 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:18.120 the trade deadline. 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:19.200 Nice, So who was he think? He's us? 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.599 Yeah, little are smart to be doing tearless DJ so 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.720 oh god, such a scroll right now find the Sammy Staffer. 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.360 I believe it was a one oh seven ninety percentile 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.839 eggs of velocity and like a forty seven percent hard 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.080 hit rate this year at HIE, which are well above 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.560 average at the level. And he has all of the 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.960 tools to stick at shortstop long term. Those are all 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.760 things that Stammy stafferr hass a powerful short stop which 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.240 should be plus defender at the position. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.600 And the other thing to mention here too is that 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.520 he is a big pulled fly ball in the air 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.360 guy rarely hits the ball on the ground, and he 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.720 pulls the ball in the air a ton, does a 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.480 lot of damage. That's the kind of thing that you 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:55.760 want to see from a prospect. 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:56.600 That's the tool. 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.280 Now, if we can sharpen up the approach and sharpen 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.360 up the pitch select that's when you could really get 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:02.560 a guy that all of a sudden just. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.280 Flies into a top one hundred prospect list. 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.560 Yes, or he's someone with a very very low contact 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.360 right that could completely flounder. It's like everything's in play 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.199 for Sammy Stefer. There's high upside here and there's a floor. 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.920 But I think when you looked at the market, he 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.720 was frustrating to see other guys go for a lot 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.319 and the Mets kicking in big money for Luke Weaver. 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.040 Yes, big money. Eight million dollars is a lot of 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:24.760 money to kick in. 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:26.520 Like I tweeted when he came out, I was like, yeah, 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.560 I can't love Sammy Suffer. I can't believe we're getting him, 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:29.080 Like who else? 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.319 Yeah, and our guy Justin did the meme of like 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:33.960 the guy with the hands on the shoulders. 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.120 Like that's it. But son, let me tell you, especially 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:37.600 when we're giving money for Luke Weaver. 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.600 He's only going to cost seven and a half million 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.440 dollars for the Pirates for the rest of the season 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:42.120 plus next. 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.000 Season, which is really affordable. Next year, we're paying Luke 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.200 Weaver like six million dollars to pitch against us, to 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.400 compete against us because he's in the National League. 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.319 Yes, Like, there could be a chance next year a 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.000 lot would happen for the change, A lot would have 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.800 to change for the Mets at this point. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.080 But there's also a chance next year that the Mets 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.440 could trade for Luke Weaver from the Pirates. Yeah, take 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.959 him back to stick right back the Mets souls for 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:03.040 the Met souls to. 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:04.960 The Pirates and the White Sox, which is kind of 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.600 insane to say. Twenty six. 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:09.560 Yeah, the White Sox took a guy with team control 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:10.959 and the Pirates. I mean we did that to give 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:12.240 them money if they're still paying some of it. 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.360 Yeah, but Sam Step for a fun prospect, a guy who, hopefully, 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.640 with some you know, improvements to the approach and everything, 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.400 Mets could get him as a top one hundred guy. 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.760 Because now all the guys that we're mentioning again not 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.360 top one hundred prospects, but guys who we hope at 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.920 some point in the next year or two will find 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:28.200 their way into these lists. 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.720 It's the summertime, aj and this is a time to 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:36.920 feel free wild make some phone calls that you're overdue for, 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.760 and also get some deals that you should be getting 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:41.679 that you deserve. 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.320 It couldn't be any easier though. It's just one price 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:48.520 for unlimited talk, text and data. It's really simple. It 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.000 is one price for all the data and all the 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:52.480 phone calls you could want per month. 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:53.080 It's simple. 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:53.719 That's right. 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.160 All of mint mobiles plans are fifteen bucks a month, 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.840 with the summer sale even unlimited. To get your new 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:00.880 wireless plan for just fIF teen bucks a month, go 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.680 to mintmobile dot com slash territory. That's mintmobile dot com 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.920 slash territory to cut your wireless bill to fifteen dollars 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.800 a month. That's it. There's no catch upfront payment of 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.560 forty five dollars for three months, ninety dollars for six months, 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.320 or one hundred eighty dollars for twelve months. Plan required 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.840 fifteen bucks per month, equivalent taxes and fees extra initial 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.560 plan term only greater than fifty gigabytes may slow when 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.079 network is busy. Includes up to twenty gigabyte hotspot capable 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:31.040 device required availability, speed and coverage varies see mintmobile dot com. 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.839 I finally found that stuff from Tjstat's one hundred and 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.839 seven point five mile prower ninety percentilegs of lostity well 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.760 above average, forty seven percent of our hit rate well 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.079 above average, But that's coming only a seventy one percent 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.559 zone contact at high A, which is really one of 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.960 the lowest in the league. So again we there's probably 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.840 a through line here to shoot for. Take some of 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:49.640 the old contact, bring to some of the new power. 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.360 Split the middle, but with him playing shortop and Mitch 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.760 void and double a playing shortstop, guess gives some samy 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.800 st for Brooklyn rest of the season. Tough place to Homer, 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.480 tough place to Homer, a good place to learn how 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.800 to hit. Also again mentioned lifelong Mets fan. The dude 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.240 like has been dming me from for a minute now 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:05.920 about the Mets, which is super funny, Like when we 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.080 signed Sodo, he was pumped the Mets sign Sodo, so 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.719 hopefully one day he gets to play alongside of him 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.600 and he Funny enough, he was a Reds drafty right, Yes, 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.840 Reds Draft. They gave him a few million dollars of 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.760 what was commensurate of a first round bonus, and he 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:20.160 went to the Pirates for Key Brian Hayes. 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:21.720 Yes, which is kind of insane. 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.120 Yeah, so crazy betrayed that often Pirates arbitrage Key Brian 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.320 Hayes for Luke Weaver. Yeah, and again it's probably still 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:28.880 like a top ten prospect of the Pirate system. I 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.320 think a lot of people get obsessed with the rankings 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.840 of the systems that they come from Yes, I don't 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.120 know if that matters as much, but he's he's his 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:37.840 stock is up this year. You can't say hitting a 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.200 ton of homers puts your stock down. 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:40.040 Never hurts you. 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.679 To be one of the premier power hitters right now 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:44.679 in high A ball as a twenty one year old, 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.000 that's not going to be a problem ever. 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.000 No, I think he's it's a good poll. I understand 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.080 how people could feel underwhelmed for this for Luke Weaver 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.520 because we've seen him. But we know that major league 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.240 teams are never even looking at the r right, neverbod 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.679 be considering it. And there's probably some teams who were 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.839 scared off by the extra year didn't want to pay him. 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.959 That's evidenced by the fact that the Mets got what 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:04.560 a lot of people felt like it was an underwhelming 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.000 return while kicking him money. It's just that that year 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.040 probably did work against them in this trade market. 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.000 Yeah, unfortunately, and right now on pipeline Staffora comes in 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.640 at number eleven on the Mets system. I am interested 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.360 to see if, like when an update comes out, Truthfully, 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.440 if he sticks there, I can't imagine that he will. 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.640 I think he's gonna go a little bit higher. And 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.400 then I'm seeing if Baseball America is updated this yet 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.000 they have has to be number one. They have not yet, 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:28.680 So Baseball America is not yet updated. 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.880 Okay, sometimes let me see Fangrass for Fangrass updated yet. 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.080 Yeah, but I mean this is the top ten prospect 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:36.440 of the met system. Yeah, he is for sure. 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.960 And I guess we got good eggs and philosophies and 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.160 we have good glove a short stops. That's enough to 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.080 build on hope for Yeah, without a doubt. 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:44.520 Should we talk about the next trade? 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.880 Yes, Now we can probably start grouping some of these together. 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:48.440 Now I want to just talk about the relievers that 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:52.040 got moved. Yes, let's do Brooks Railey wasascor Broselebon together. 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:53.040 Yeah. 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.120 And another one where you look here like Brooks Railey's 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.400 been nails for us for years. Wow, we got a 0:14:58.520 --> 0:14:59.520 twenty three year old in. 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.880 High A with five vra Yeah. 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.400 And then John Spikerman, which elite name Mets Mets might 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.960 win the name trade deadline this with this time because 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.680 Bruno Bayani, we got Gary Gilhill, Gary gil Hill, we 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:16.000
