1
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Big week trade deadline week, but other news is trying

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: to take it away. We'll get to that. We'll also

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: get to I think Judge going down. We're actual, Yeah,

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: that's true, that is true. That will be your MVP.

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. Yeah, your Mike usually is good.

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: I mean we can hear you, but we like to

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: hear a while.

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: Sorry apologize, Yes it has.

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: We have Busy teamed up in cudo AJ for a minute,

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: so we'll get to Judgey. We actually have our injury expert,

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: Will Carrol later in the show to cover that. Of course,

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: plenty of trade deadline action, including Jim Bowden joining us

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: in a little past ten minutes from now. Ken Rosenthal's

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: fair territory Fresh one is already out and we'll talk

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: to him tomorrow. But that episode should be listened to

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: and consumed after this show and then real quick, just

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: for a minute, you weren't on when this went down

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: last week? What did you think of the trades so far?

19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the big one is Nailor to the Mari

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: McMahon to the Yankees. Those are the big name moves.

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, is McMahon considered a big name?

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: You can play defense, Yeah, you can pick it.

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: Listen.

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: If you can't hit Colorado, I don't know where you can. Really,

25
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: that's the spot be able to rate there. So I mean,

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 3: I think they both feel needs. Would surprise me about

27
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 3: the Yankees. Give McMahon though, is we all thought they

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: were in play for Suarez, right, So didn't that kind

29
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 3: of close that windows?

30
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're they're out on Suarez. So there's like six

31
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: to eight teams in on Swar.

32
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: I know, we think Yankees were a match.

33
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: They either didn't have the capitol or didn't want to

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: give up the asking price, or like Kratz and I

35
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: talked about the other day, they really needed to fix

36
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: defensive issues. Gino Suarez in my mind, is a little

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: below average now. His metrics rate really low, and you know,

38
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: the Yankees are definitely looking tight at that and McMahon

39
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: rates elite, so that was part of the mix. But Naylor,

40
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: that's a guy that hits good pitching. I like that

41
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: one for Seattle. I thought that was a great move.

42
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I thought that was a good one.

43
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: He gets big hits, to the think about Josh Taylors.

44
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: He gets big hits. He loves to come up in

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: the clutch, for them, and plus it energizes their their clubhouse.

46
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: Now I want to see what some of the other

47
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: teams do, Like, what are they we get Jim Bodeno,

48
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: what do the Astros do to answer this? Right?

49
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: The Rangers are coming by the way too. The Rangers

50
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: are charging hard at both those teams. So are they

51
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: going to do something surprising? I mean, I think I

52
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 3: think this is gonna be fascinating the last three days

53
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 3: until it's over.

54
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, even a team like the Royals, who many wanted

55
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: to sell, they're like, oh, well, they're going to sell,

56
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: and they're like, no, we're not. We're actually not going

57
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: to sell, which I thought is pretty cool.

58
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: I love that too. I believe that as a former Royal, Right,

59
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: they're not going to sell. I'm they're even they're even

60
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: doing extra, not just not selling. They got grit Chick

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: obviously paying out money. A guy that I heard Seth

62
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: Lugo's name on the list of Hey, you know what

63
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: maybe the Royals that they sell. Maybe he's a guy

64
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: that they could move and get a lot of pieces back.

65
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: They're they're going for it. So yeah, my Royals love it.

66
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about them later in the show. And

67
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: later this week we are on for a trade deadline

68
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 1: special one o'clock Eastern time regular showtime, and then we'll

69
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: go until six pm Eastern if you're watching us online

70
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: on TV. The crowd watching us right now one to

71
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: three Eastern regular time, but we'll extend that for three

72
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: more hours after TV time. Guests every hour to report

73
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: on your team's latest moves. When things happen, we'll bring

74
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: people on, we'll break it down throughout the day. And

75
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be a lot because we

76
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: haven't had much yet, and I think there are a

77
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: ton of teams that are going to do something. Now

78
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: there's one name that we can scratch off the list.

79
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: He had been talked about quite a bit. Let's get

80
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: to breaking news. Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel class A has

81
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: been placed on nondisciplinary paid leave as part of MLB's

82
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: sports betting investigation, and class A is joining Luis Artiz

83
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: on that investigation and the paid nondisciplinary leave situation. So basically,

84
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: you get paid to sit they investigate. They don't want

85
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: you on the field while they try and figure out

86
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: what's happening. We'll let you more know more details as

87
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: we learn of anything. Remember this was two three weeks ago,

88
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: around July fourth weekend, when we learned about his teammate

89
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: Luis Ortiz and two questionable pitches that they were investigating.

90
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: We haven't heard anything since questionable, very questionable pitches. And

91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: now his teammate is part of this investigation as well.

92
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: It sounds like no one else's That's what the guardians

93
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: came out and said, So no one else, it's these two.

94
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 3: So why didn't this come out when Ortiz came out?

95
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 3: Why didn't class A come out at the same.

96
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: Time, because maybe deeper they found more stuff.

97
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so did they do I mean, just we have

98
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: a million questions like that with Ortizo? Did they do

99
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 3: something together? Did he do the same thing? Possibly not

100
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 3: saying they did him, but are they being accused of

101
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: doing the same thing? Because I think Kratz tell me

102
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 3: if I'm wrong here, but I I think is a

103
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: pitcher if you could do I mean, I'm I don't

104
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: condone this, but I mean, as a pitcher, if you

105
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 3: could say, if you have friends and you say, hey,

106
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: I'm going to pitch. When I come in to pitch,

107
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: you know, a bet a ball on this pitch and

108
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 3: I'll throw a damn pitch out to make sure that

109
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: they don't swing at it. I mean, that's that's about it.

110
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 3: Easy of a bet to fix as you could ever get.

111
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: Right, I'm saying they did it.

112
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, but that hypothetically, like that would be

113
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 3: the easiest one to fix in the world.

114
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you can buy if you can buy that

115
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: prop of like, hey, the next pitch is going to

116
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: be a ball or something, how they'd figure it out.

117
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: It's a little different with our teas because he's starting,

118
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 2: so it's like, hey, you know what this inning is.

119
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: When I'll do it, it's not really going to affect

120
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: the game class you're closing, So I I I'm reticent

121
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: to say, oh, well, something that he was fixing. Maybe

122
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: there was something, you know, maybe he was gambling on

123
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: things that I just I just I don't get it.

124
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I'm not gonna spec I just

125
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: think it's just why do it? Why do its thin?

126
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: Here's my thing.

127
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 3: Even if he's closing, he can just tell his you know,

128
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 3: the people say, if I come in next time I pitch,

129
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: the first pitch is going to be a ball, right, like,

130
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: and they can because you can live bet these things.

131
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: Now again, I'm not saying he did this, but I'm saying,

132
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: if you were going to do this, this would be

133
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: like the easiest one because as a hitter, you can't

134
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: guarantee I can get a hit or I'm gonna you know,

135
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: or you say, well, I'm gonna swing at this pitch.

136
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: You know that.

137
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: But like what if they throw it at you and

138
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: it hit you, Like, I mean, there's you know, he

139
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: can't The easiest thing to control on a baseball field

140
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 3: is if I'm a pitcher and I throw that ball

141
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: like Ortiz through that bounced fifteen feet in front of

142
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: home play and be like, oh, I slipped up. Sorry guys. Yeah,

143
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: but I mean, I'm not saying they did this. I'm

144
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 3: not saying any of that. But out of all the

145
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 3: things that we've ever talked about as far as gambling goes,

146
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 3: this would be the easiest one to self control.

147
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: Crat. At some point, we're gonna laugh about how healthcare

148
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: was so reactive and not proactive, and we're starting to

149
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: change that with superpower. They believe every human has one

150
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: hundred plus year potential and they're here to help you

151
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: get there. I'm a big believer in this. I just

152
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: started the journey, so I'm excited about it. And what

153
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: do you think As.

154
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: A player, You're always looking ways to improve yourself, improve

156
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: made it way easier than when I was playing. You

157
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: had to go get all these lab panels and it

158
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: was a long drawn out, expensive process. But now with Superpower,

159
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: so this is awesome for me. I'm excited about it.

160
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: They'll send a licensed professional to your home, or you

168
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: And now I'll remind people we things like this because

169
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: bets are placed on regulated apps. It's true, and then

170
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: that's how they figure this out. In the past, you

171
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: can't do that. My question is someone like Luis Ortiz,

172
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at finances. Is a league minimum guy

173
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: manual Class eight is rich. He is rich just beside

174
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: a five year, twenty million dollar extension back in twenty

175
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: twenty two with club options. So, for example, going through

176
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: his salaries last year, he made two and a half

177
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: million dollars and then also was in the playoffs, made

178
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: some more money this year four and a half million dollars,

179
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: next year six million dollars, and then there are back

180
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: to back club team options or club options. Club and

181
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: team is the same thing. Good job, ten million dollars

182
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven and twenty twenty eight. Again, anybody

183
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: can do this stuff. My point is Kratz, it's not

184
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: like he's underpaid and not in the league for a

185
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: long period of time. I mean, he is underpaid based

186
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: on his talent over the last few years. But it's

187
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: not like this guy isn't making any money. There are

188
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: many major leaguers who will play two three seasons make

189
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: the league minimum, which is still good money, but it's

190
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: not enough to support you for your entire life, and

191
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: they're looking outside for influence this suppressor. He's rich.

192
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: He's definitely rich. I mean, look, Luis Artiz is definitely

193
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: rich too, Like he doesn't need to have little piddling

194
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: things it is. It is not good. It doesn't look

195
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: good for the whole situation because they're both on the

196
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: same team. They're both pitchers on the same team. So

197
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: if somebody got to these guys, if there's you know,

198
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: one of them is one of them's buddies, somebody talk

199
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: to them. Doesn't look good that they're both on the

200
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: same team. And you hope that no other guardians are

201
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: sitting here going. I thought this was like I wasn't

202
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: gonna get caught because it's really I'm not demeaning it

203
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: if these things are true, like it's not really affecting

204
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: the game, Like a closer throws a ball all the time.

205
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: Starting pitchers throw balls all the time. So they probably

206
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: feel if this is the case, like, hey, you know what,

207
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 2: we'll get away with this. There's no there's no really ramifications.

208
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see what happens or how what

209
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: what we find out about it. But no, they shouldn't

210
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: need this money whatever that money is.

211
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but here's here's the thing, E pay and show.

212
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 3: Hey hee Pey was making good money. He's still lost

213
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: a ton betting. Yeah, Epey was rich, right, pep Rose

214
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: was rich pep Rose played for like thirty years in

215
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: the big leagues.

216
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: No, it was different money back then, but he was

217
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: still rich for a normal person.

218
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: True.

219
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: And he was the manager of the Cincinnati Is. He

220
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: was betting on games.

221
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: Sometimes it doesn't matter how much money you have, you

222
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: can have debt we don't know about.

223
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: There could be things that are happening we don't know about, right, And.

224
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: If someone listen, people are always no matter how much

225
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: money you have, they're always looking for a quick way

226
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 3: to make another buck. Again, we're not saying we just

227
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: want to make this quid. We're not saying that they

228
00:10:59,280 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: did this.

229
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: No, he's under investigation. That's what we do.

230
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

231
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, But the thing is is like, just because you're rich,

232
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: just oh he's rich, he didn't gamble. I know a

233
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 3: lot of rich dudes that gamble a lot for no reason.

234
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but gambling is different from betting on baseball.

235
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: The thing about betting.

236
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: Again, I'm gonna say this again, the easiest thing to

237
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 3: fix in the world in baseball is I am a pitcher,

238
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: and people in the chat are like, oh, the catcher

239
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 3: and pitching coach call the pitches.

240
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: I could call whatever pitch I want.

241
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 3: But if that dude has the ball and I want

242
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: to call first pitch heater and he throws it over

243
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 3: my head, that he can do that.

244
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: And he can do this too, or he can shake

245
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: you off.

246
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: And hit the button right like that. Whoever calls the

247
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: pitches doesn't even matter.

248
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: I could call slider like cossa cutter one hundred miles

249
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 3: an hour and he throws it four feet outside and

250
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 3: he's like, oh the mound, Oh dang, I slipped on

251
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 3: the mound and then goes back and see the kicking

252
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: the dirt right like, or they grab the rosin bag

253
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: and like ah wow, man sweaty like that.

254
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: Would be honestly, like the Ortiz pitch.

255
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 3: The first one was kind of closed, the second one

256
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: was literally nowhere closed like that. Again, not saying he

257
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: did this, but that is the easiest thing for me

258
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: in baseball. That would be to say, if I could

259
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 3: bet on something doubt to fix, that.

260
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: Would be it.

261
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: Here's the other factor. Now, let's get to the team.

262
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: Sad of things. The Guardians seem to be in light

263
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: listen for cell mode. This is not necessarily their year,

264
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: right Manuel class A might have been traded. It's well

265
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: documented that clean were very disciplined in trade talks, and

266
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: some would even say stubborn and difficult. And that's fine.

267
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a Guardians fan, they've been very

268
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: successful in that front office, so you give them credit. Well, Kratz,

269
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: it's not getting traded now. They might have been behind

270
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: the scenes going, hey, this is the year, right, let's

271
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: trade them. We've got multiple years left of control, plus

272
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: the options, Let's trade him.

273
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: He would have been the most valuable asset. I get it. Hey,

274
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: Henyeo Suarez thirty thirty five plus Homers being able to

275
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: be traded. Everybody needs slow. Everybody would line up for

276
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 2: a manual classe. So to me, that's when teams I mean,

277
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: look at a team like the Phillies. They don't have

278
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: a closer, and you sit there and you go, holy crap, okay,

279
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: are we willing to go like big time because hey,

280
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: you know what, we still have him a few years

281
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: down the road. And I think those like you said,

282
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: those those team options are like ten million a year,

283
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: ten million a year for a closer. That's that's once

284
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 2: you kick in those options. I think some team would

285
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: have gone a little bit crazy for a manual class.

286
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: I think they would have given up three marquee prospects,

287
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: and now the Guardians don't have that choice.

288
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: And last year he was insane, he was historic six.

289
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: This year he has not been.

290
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: No, he's been okay, it's not like he's been a mess.

291
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 2: But he hasn't been as good as he's been in years.

292
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: Not question is did he know about this? What do

293
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: you mean did he know that this investigation was happening.

294
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: Oh, it's like a steroids thing, right, the player know

295
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 3: that they tested positive. He just don't tell anybody until

296
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 3: it comes out publicly.

297
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: If he was doing the same thing as Ortiz, if

298
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: they're connected, I'm sure he's been a little nervous ever

299
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: since Ortiz got put on paid leave. So sucks.

300
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: Don't bet on baseball one more say it. Don't bet

301
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: on baseball. Don't bet on baseball. Don't freaking bet on baseball.

302
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: What if the Guardians made a surprise run. So there's

303
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: the cell side. There's also the fact that they're a

304
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: game under five hundred and the Royals are looking to

305
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: buy a little bit. They're a half game better than

306
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: the Royals right now. Guardians made the Alcs last year.

307
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: It's a pretty similar roster from last year. It wouldn't

308
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: have been the craziest thought to go, oh, here comes

309
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: Bieber in the second half, Bullplant pen looks more like

310
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: it does last year. If you guys get hot and

311
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: they're a wildcard team, now you lost your closer, at

312
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: least for now. Through a long period of time.

313
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: Ortiz has some stiff coming back, and we know.

314
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: These guys are on leave. His leap got extended, right,

315
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: These guys are both out until at least the end

316
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: of August. It's a massive blow two pitchers, especially, you're

317
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: a freaking superstar closer. So we'll let you know if

318
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: we hear anything else about specifics. But what we do

319
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: know is Emmanuel Klass is not getting traded and he's

320
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: not pitching in the major leagues until at least September.

321
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: As this investigation by Major League Baseball continues. This is crazy.

322
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: We had a commenter on Friday, randomly during the show

323
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: say something along the lines of when are we gonna

324
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: give more respect to Nick Kurtz. This was Friday afternoon,

325
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: and I'm monitoring the chat pretty closely. I'll give you

326
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: the name later. He had the best rookie performance from

327
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: a hitter in Major League history and perhaps krats the

328
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: best right in history, but perhaps the best performance period

329
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: from a hitter in major league history. In one game,

330
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: six or six four her Runsbi's six runs scored, which

331
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: is super rare in our game, nineteen total bases in

332
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: a fifteen to three win over Houston. WHOA.

333
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: That was unbelievable, unbelievable. He's just like I wonder if

334
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: he slapped Jacob Wilson or not and was like, hey, Jacob,

335
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: this is my Rookie of the Year award now, So

336
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: if you weren't paying attention, I would still take Sho

337
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: Hayes game last year that he broke the broke the

338
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: record and he had like ten twelve. I think that

339
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: was more like more of an impressive game, but six

340
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: for six. He pushed his average above three hundred. With

341
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: this game. He's twenty three dingers in this by this game,

342
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: and he's ops is over one thousand at the end

343
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: of this game, Like is a career. He may never

344
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: have another game like this, and he could have a

345
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: really good career. It was unbelievable to have that as

346
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: a rookie. He was in college last year.

347
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: He's never gonna have another game like, there's no one

348
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: in the history of baseball's ever had a game like this,

349
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: and he missed a fifth home run by about a

350
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: foot and a half. So listen, this is the best hit.

351
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 3: This has got to go down as the best game

352
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: a hitter has ever had in the history of.

353
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: The sport, which reminds me I do want to shout out.

354
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: David k was the commenter last week on Friday Afternoon

355
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: who randomly was just like, Nick Kurtz is a g

356
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just for this game. I know that,

357
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: but just the context, there was nothing going on related

358
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: to it, and he just randomly put that in the chat,

359
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: and then that night I'm like, oh my gosh. Anyway,

360
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: he debuted on the twenty third Kurtz, He's got the

361
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: second best ops since to Aaron Judge, his first home

362
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: run wasn't until his seventeenth game, second in his twenty

363
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: fourth game, and then he went on a twenty two

364
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: homer and forty three game stretch through Friday. This was

365
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: a top five pick last year out of way farest

366
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: he went number four overall. Just amazing. Do you know

367
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: the last four homer game before Gino Suarez, which was

368
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: in April. So you had two this year. Do you

369
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: know the last ones before that? I'm going to give

370
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: you guys the year. It's been a whi. That was

371
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: one in twenty seventeen, and the other one was JD Martinez.

372
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: Last American League player with a four homer game was

373
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve. Do you guys know who that was?

374
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: It's been a while, twenty twelve. Jeez, what team? Give

375
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: me a team? JD was with the Diamondbacks, right, it

376
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: was against the Dodge.

377
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Josh Hamilton just.

378
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, in that game where the Orioles gave up like

379
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: thirty is that?

380
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: What is?

381
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: That was a game where they gave up like thirty runs?

382
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: One more nine time in history of players scored six

383
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: runs only nine times ever, last time in two thousand

384
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: and four. Joe Randa of the Royals.

385
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,879

Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he said.

404
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: That's what he said.

405
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: That's what he said.

406
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: That's what he said. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Absolutely scathing quotes

407
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: coming out from that Phillies Player meeting that Rob Manford

408
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: held a week ago. We heard some of the fire

409
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: that came out of it from Nick Castianos last week,

410
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: but now we've got the full back and forth exchange

411
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: that involved Bryce Harper and Rob Manfred quiet for the

412
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: majority of the meeting. This is in an ESPN article.

413
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: New York Post was on this a bunch of the

414
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: sites now have all this up, but in Jeff Passon's article,

415
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: quiet for the majority of the meeting, Bryce Harper, sitting

416
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: in a chair and holding a bat, eventually grew frustrated

417
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: about and I'm paraphrasing here Manfred's salary cap in undo,

418
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: because they talked a lot about how he was hinting

419
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: around that and talking down to the players, and said

420
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: if MLB were to propose a cap and hold firm

421
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: to it, players quote this, according to Harper, are not

422
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: scared to lose one hundred and sixty two games. Sources

423
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: in the meeting told him. Harper stood up, walked toward

424
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: the middle of the room, faced up to Manfred and said,

425
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: if you want to speak about that, you can get

426
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: the bleep out of our clubhouse. Manfred, sources said, responded

427
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: that he was not going to get the bleep out

428
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: of here, saying it was important to talk about threats

429
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: to MLB's business and ways to grow the game. Nick

430
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: Castillanos did speak on the record again about this. He

431
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: said both of them, commiss and Bryce, were giving it

432
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: back and forth to each other. He said, that's Harp.

433
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: He's been doing this since he was fifteen years old,

434
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: it's just another day. I wasn't surprised. Castillanos later said

435
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: Manford seems to be in a pretty desperate place on

436
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: how important it is to get this salary cap because

437
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: he's floating the word lockout two years in advance of

438
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: our collective bargaining agreement expiration. So that's nothing to throw around.

439
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: That's the same thing as me saying in a marriage,

440
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: I think divorce is a possibility. It's probably going to happen.

441
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: You just don't say those things. And in the back

442
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: of our heads were like, why are you talking to

443
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: us Like owning a baseball team is like owning a

444
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: nail salon that you're only going to be a functional

445
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: business if you can make up the money that you

446
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: put in this year.

447
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: I love this, dropped the mike. Oh my god, I

448
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: love this. Wow. I mean Bryce Harborough knows the nose.

449
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: Can we air that next time? That would get millions?

450
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, MLB, you want to fix some content issues,

451
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: because Manford was on record the other day saying he's

452
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: buying into creators like us now and he's into it, right,

453
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: you want to fix it? While he said it on

454
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: the record, Well, U not us yes, he doesn't own

455
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: a piece of us. They do not touch us at all. Then,

456
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: in fact, don't let us use like any highlights anyway.

457
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: You want some content, give me that meeting streaming live.

458
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, And people in the chatter like Harper should get suspended.

459
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 3: Why would nothing to do with anything?

460
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: This is his opinion in castianis what he said, Like,

461
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 2: that's what he said perfect, Like what he said was awesome.

462
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to tell the commissioner to get out

463
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: of your clubhouse in the middle of a playoff race

464
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: because he's talking to a bunch of veterans about why

465
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: they need a salary cap to fix their lives.

466
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: I think I think maybe Rob should have maybe tempered

467
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: measured his words. I think he's going into other clubhouses.

468
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: Think about how young some of the other clubhouses are.

469
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: And if he goes in there and says, I could

470
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: get you guys more money, and those guys are like,

471
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 2: I could get three hundred four hundred thousand dollars more

472
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 2: a year, that would be awesome. He's going into these

473
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 2: guys clubhouse and you got Schwarber, Harper, Wheeler, Nola, I'm

474
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 2: Casiano's like Turner. Dudes that are making hundreds of millions

475
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 2: of dollars, and they're like, no, no, no, no, we're not

476
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 2: looking for three hundred extra thousand dollars a year to

477
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: the minimum salary. We want what's best for the game.

478
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 2: And he obviously is coming in here like a preemptive

479
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 2: strike for a lockout. I loved his analogy. You use

480
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: the word divorce in a happy marriage, like you're giving

481
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 2: yourself and you're making that kind of thing happen like

482
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: they're using he's using the word lockout before it's even like,

483
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 2: how is that good faith? Legally, federal law says you

484
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: have to negotiate. You have to have good faith negotiation.

485
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 2: And if he's already saying, oh, you know what, you know,

486
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 2: to build the game, we're gonna have to lock it out,

487
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: all right, fans, just make sure you know if that happens,

488
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: who's the one that locked it out. It's not a strike.

489
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: The players aren't doing this. This is an ownership that's

490
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: saying we're gonna go ahead and lock you guys out

491
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 2: till we get what we want.

492
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 3: My thing is is were there any of the other

493
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: the players in.

494
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: There, the cap, the players that he brings around. It's

495
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 1: a good question we should ask one of them. I

496
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: actually think that's making his case worse because everyone knows

497
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: the deal, Like, you're bringing what you think.

498
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: That's helping you. Why is that making it worse?

499
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: Because don't you think current players are like, why are

500
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 1: you bringing these guys around to try and turn us

501
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: against ourselves and vote for it? I think you want.

502
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: I think there's an informed players that are confused by

503
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 2: that tactic. But I don't think he's trying. Maybe I'm wrong.

504
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 2: I don't think Rob Manford is trying to get to

505
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 2: the informed players. He's getting to the uninformed players, and

506
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 2: he's getting to the people who Major League Baseball are

507
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 2: calling up six What is it? It's fifty two percent

508
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 2: of the league has less than three years of service.

509
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: Of the of the guys with more than three years

510
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 2: of service, fifty two percent of them never make it

511
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 2: the free agency. So that whole group, that's who he's

512
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: talking about. The guys that make it the free agency.

513
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: He's not talking to them, he's talking to the majority

514
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: in the clubhouses. So he's bringing those guys in and

515
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: being like, hey, guy with a year of service, just

516
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 2: coming in here to talk about how we can make

517
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: you guys more money, and that guy's like, sure, I

518
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: can use more money. Oh sick you brought over this star.

519
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: Oh man, Gry Sheffield's coming in with your dexter fowlers.

520
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: Can I remember watching those guys. It's all young players

521
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: that they're bringing in to smooth those over Bryce Harper's

522
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: You know, Bryce Harper might dab somebody up, but if

523
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 2: you come in and start talking, he's not looking to

524
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 2: like talk to talk to players that like he played

525
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 2: against and battled against for a majority of his career.

526
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: Krats. If I'm new to card collecting and I'm looking

527
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: for the safest, most trusted way in the game to

528
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: acquire cards or to buy a card, but not go

529
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: through a ton of work where I'm going to the shows,

530
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm going online doing auctions. I want it all in

531
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: one place. I'm going to Arena Club.

532
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: It's all one place. You know you're getting a good price,

533
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 2: whether you're buying it or you're selling cards. If you're

534
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 2: new to it, you don't want all the other crappy cards.

535
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: You can get the ones that you want. You can

536
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: start your collection, and if you get them on Arina Club,

537
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: your collection will look a bouse.

538
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: That's right, and may I mention they also have Pokemon

539
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: cards in those slab packs that we talk about every week.

540
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: You can rip a pack for as low as twenty

541
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: five dollars and hit on a card that's worth tens

542
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars because every pack has grails that

543
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: are at least twenty x the price of the pack.

544
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: So get involved at arenaclub dot com slash vul use

545
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: the code foul to get twenty percent off your first

546
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: slab pack or card purchase. Yeah, I mean, I'm just like,

547
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: what do you expect a veteran player to say to

548
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: one of the players that Rob is whining and dining

549
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: to go around for these meetings, Like, Oh, everything you

550
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: made your money on now you think we should change it?

551
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: Oh?

552
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds like a great idea.

553
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 3: I mean, Rob doesn't do anything by accident. Also in

554
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 3: the name of the system, no doubt.

555
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: That's why there is a massive distrust issue. And he

556
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: has been on the record multiple times though. Yeah, but

557
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: he's been on the record.

558
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 3: Els article in The Athletic about he kind of and

559
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 3: I was quoted in it because we had the deckster falery,

560
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 3: which kind of opened this a little bit yea mice.

561
00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: To people, but.

562
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 3: He says it in there. He's like there's a storm coming,

563
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 3: which everyone kind of knows. But now that's like two sides.

564
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 3: It's almost like politically right, like how left and right

565
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 3: we are? Whichever side you're on, Like, why can't we

566
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 3: just get to the middle. It's almost like with the

567
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 3: owners and the players, why can't we just get to

568
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 3: the middle. And everyone says we want to grow the game.

569
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 3: We do, but why can't we get it together?

570
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: Instead?

571
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 3: It's like, we gotta do this, and then he just does,

572
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 3: like we gotta do this right, Like why can't we

573
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: just meet in the middle somewhere.

574
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: So Commissioner Manford's on the record saying that he has

575
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: done a bad job of relations with players. He will

576
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: say that himself, and he says he's trying to fix

577
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: that and that's part of why he does meetings. Yet

578
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: the meetings from most players I speak with are just

579
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: about him using innuendo to talk about a salary cap.

580
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: So you want to make friends right and say peace,

581
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: it's like going to war and then after war saying

582
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: let's actually have meetings and let's have dinner. But then

583
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: during that dinner all you do is talk about the war.

584
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying? I get you, Like,

585
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: if you actually cared about relations, you would have that

586
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: meeting and be like, how we doing. I'm not going

587
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: to talk about anything with labor. How we doing? Like,

588
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: let's try and just be friends and talk about even

589
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: smaller issues and also just growth. Let's talk about growth.

590
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: How do we make more money, how do we how

591
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: do we bring in younger fans?

592
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: Right?

593
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: But to me, it sounds like you're getting an hour

594
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: with a team and the hour is revolving around the

595
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: salary cap. I don't get it. I don't get that.

596
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: Like I understand that everything's for a reason, but that's

597
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: like too blatant. If you're trying to if you're trying

598
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: to win people over, don't just come at them with

599
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: the thing that's going to piss them off. Right, isn't

600
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: it just a bad tactics? Think about it. If you

601
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: guys are players, I'll stay out of the rest of this.

602
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: You're a player. Someone comes in and says, hey, I've

603
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: had crappy relations. They come in and say, hey, business

604
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: is not great or should be better because we should

605
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: have a salary cap. What would your response.

606
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: Be no, just immediate. No, that's not Here's the other thing. Yeah,

607
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 2: it would be no.

608
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: But here's my thing for veter and players. If you

609
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 3: talked about salary caps in other leagues NBA, NFL, NHL,

610
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: the players who are already like, let's say they somehow

611
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 3: do get a salary cap. Say the salary cap is

612
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: two hundred million and the Phillies are at two fifty already.

613
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: I don't even know the number. These are just fake numbers. Okay,

614
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: then do Harper, Turner, Rio Muto, Schwarber.

615
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 3: The guys who were signed Castanos have to give money

616
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 3: back to help them get under the cap.

617
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 1: Yes, like that's what happens.

618
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 3: It's like, it doesn't make sense now. In other leagues

619
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 3: they've done this. The NHL gave back a quarter of

620
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 3: their salaries one year after they were locked out for

621
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: a year, just to get back on the ice.

622
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: But also players all will like even the NFL happens

623
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: all the time, Like Tom Brady's like, oh, I gotta

624
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: get cut go to a new team because I'm signed

625
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: to a guaranteed deal, but I'm cut before mini camp

626
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: And I mean.

627
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, Listen, I don't know enough about it.

628
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 2: But I know this. Players don't want to give back money.

629
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and super teams are formed when a bunch of

630
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: players get together and they're like, hey, we're all going

631
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: to take less so that we can dominate here. So

632
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: that's what they want. Because you're restricted at that point,

633
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: you can't have an open market. Let's be real. There's

634
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: plenty of fans that feel like their team doesn't have

635
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: a shot. The problem is most of the fan groups

636
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: are rooting for organizations that are not run properly. That's it.

637
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: And I don't know what the answer is in those meetings.

638
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure Harper goes, hey, we're in Philly, what's going

639
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: on in Pittsburgh? And I would love again for this

640
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: to be streamed and to hear his answer. What's the answer?

641
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: What's going on? Why is that a thing?

642
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 2: What do what do the owners and the players have

643
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 2: in common about baseball? They both want to make the

644
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: most money possible. Can we agree on that? Okay? So

645
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: that's what we should be doing, is how do we

646
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: grow the game? The tagline for foul territory baseball the

647
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: way it's supposed to be covered. We are supposed to

648
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: grow this game everybody on this show, working with this

649
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: show loves the game of baseball. If you are trying

650
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: to get selfishly one side more than the other side,

651
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: just you're cutting your own feet out from underneath you

652
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: because you're not allowing yourself. Baseball is not allowing yourself

653
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 2: to get out of its way. Sell the product, which

654
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: is the players, which is the game that's being played,

655
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: and then that rising tide raises all ships. Everybody gets

656
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: so there is a happy medium somewhere in the middle.

657
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 2: Players say no salary cap, Owners say salary cap. Okay,

658
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: we couldn't be farther apart on those two issues. Wipe

659
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 2: it off the table. We're not talking about it. Sorry,

660
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 2: that's not growing the game. How do we grow the game?

661
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: And it's a content. It's letting the players actually have

662
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: a say in different things. It's having owners maybe be

663
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 2: a little more outfront and explain to players and not

664
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: be so cloak and dagger and well, we would never

665
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 2: actually open our books anything because we don't want you

666
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 2: to see this. Like there has to be a give

667
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: and take. So everybody's like, just open open all of

668
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: your books and say, you know what, this is what's

669
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: going to grow the game of baseball that we all

670
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: love and we all want to compete at.

671
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: Also, I'm just reminding everyone, because we talk about this

672
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: somewhat frequently, we already have a soft cap. It's called

673
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: a luxury tacks. Most teams don't touch it. It's not

674
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: like they do. They jump underneath it, right, But they're

675
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: not going to suddenly be like, oh now we're gonna

676
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: have a cap and everybody is you know, going to

677
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: go to the cap, right, everyone's a cap of two

678
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: hundred and a floor of one to seventy five. Like,

679
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: come on, this stuff is ridiculous. So anyway, we'll cover

680
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: it a lot more in the offseason. But it's super

681
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: big news when you have one of the five faces

682
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: of the sport going up to the commissioner of baseball

683
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: and saying, get the bleep out of here, and then

684
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: they go back and forth and the fact that someone

685
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: didn't get that on camera. Damn we missed out.

686
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: I'm kidding, what last word. And always remember owners make

687
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 2: way more than players. Even is now one owner that

688
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 2: makes that makes less than one sota who's the highest

689
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: paid player in the game right now?

690
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: Correct net worth of ever any owner in baseball is

691
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: much higher than won Soto. It is not even close,

692
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: not even in the same stratosphere, not even close. All right,

693
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: let's dive in on the Kansas City Royals, because they said,

694
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: I don't care how many games back we are. We

695
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: believe in our team and we are buying. They trade

696
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: for Randall Gritchick, get themselves someone who can handle a

697
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: little bit of left handed pitching. They got a lot

698
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: of lefty bats in the outfield. Jack hag just went

699
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 1: on the injured list too, Jack agleon, So Gritchick joins

700
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: the party for this team. There you go a little

701
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: trade with the Diamondbacks over the weekend and breaking news

702
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: on Sunday night with their starting rotation which still has

703
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: Cole Reagan's on the shelf and Chris Bubach hit the

704
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: IL this weekend. Other side of the spectrum, Kratz, your

705
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: former team signed up Seth Lugo to an extension. He

706
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 1: was in some trade rumors. It sounded like they wanted

707
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: to keep them and they figured something out, so now

708
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: he's staying. It's twenty million per season in twenty twenty

709
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: six and twenty twenty seven. There's a vesting option for

710
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars in twenty eight, or a club option

711
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: for seventeen million dollars in twenty twenty eight, or a

712
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: three million dollar buyout plus a three million dollar signing bonus.

713
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: Seth Lugo has been fantastic with the Royals, a load

714
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: of mid threes ERA and close to sixty starts with

715
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: them since he joined them. So it's two years guaranteed

716
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: forty six mil. Otherwise he would have been a free

717
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: agent after this season.

718
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 2: Thoughts, I mean tremendous. I think tremendous for both sides.

719
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: It locks up their uncertainty as far as pitch. They

720
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: got rid of Singer. So to me, that was a

721
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 2: guy that was gonna kind of be that Kansas City

722
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 2: Royal pitcher. Goes out there, throws strikes, gets you deep

723
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: into games, and to me, maybe I just haven't looked

724
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: at what what else is out there, But I know

725
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 2: there's a couple of dudes that signed some nice two year,

726
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 2: thirty eight million dollar deals, and so you're essentially getting

727
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: Seth Lugo for a little bit more than that. He

728
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: was an All Star last year. I think he was

729
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: top five in cy young maybe if I'm wrong. Two

730
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 2: second he was second in say young last year. So

731
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: this park suits him, and I assume he loves it

732
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 2: because I've never heard anybody play for Kansas City. It's like,

733
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: I really don't like playing there. It's a sick place

734
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: to play, great fan base, too good for him, Good

735
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 2: for him.

736
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: Do you like the move? Yeah, Kansas City.

737
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 2: He's a quality pitcher. It'll take.

738
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 3: If he was a free agent, he's probably get a

739
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 3: little bit more. But likes he's at. He's been great

740
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 3: for them. He's a veteran presence in their club. It's

741
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 3: like when they signed to Walka. It's kind of the

742
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 3: same thing. Right, he fits, They like him. He's been effective.

743
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 2: Twenty million dollars for a good starting pitcher is not

744
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 2: really a lot of money.

745
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: Last year he was a one in this year, what

746
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: he's a two?

747
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean and if they get Reagan, if you

748
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 2: go into the next season with Walka Lugo healthy, you.

749
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: Know, Reagan's bitch du bitch and.

750
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 3: The uh, what's the guy Crawford, the guy who's less

751
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 3: No Cameron, no camera Cameron.

752
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: That's been really good for him. It's a pretty good

753
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 2: rotation start. You have some pieces in the back end.

754
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 3: They have a stebs, they get some good years out

755
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 3: of some good They they they could be a team.

756
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 1: But that's why they're like, don't count us out yet,

757
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: because entering today to the games tonight, they're fifty two

758
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: and fifty four, which is not great. But they wouldn't

759
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: be the only team that's hovering around the five hundred

760
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: mark that suddenly goes on a run in the second

761
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: half of the year. There's been plenty the Atlanta Braves

762
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, where that team until August and

763
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: then they took off. I think the Royals are going

764
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: to do something here. I think they're going to surprise

765
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: some people and do something else big one more bat. Yeah,

766
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: you don't think so.

767
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I'd love to a lot.

768
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: Of superstars available besides Gino Suarez, but I do think

769
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: they're going to do something else. They've already indicated that

770
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: they're buying a little bit, so good for them. You

771
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 1: feel good about Lugo. Reagan's is going to come back.

772
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: Not sure the extent of Boobitch. It sounds like he's

773
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: still getting some testing done, but good for you. They

774
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: still think they've got something this year and they can

775
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 1: hang around and they're probably craps looking at the rest

776
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: of the American League, like if one team falls off,

777
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: here we sneak into a wild card spot.

778
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 2: And they feel like they can. They feel like they've

779
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 2: built their team to win, which is we just got

780
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 2: done having a lengthy conversation about money, money, salary cap,

781
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 2: all this stuff. The Royals believe Jj Piccolo and that

782
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 2: front office ownership believes they can win, and they do

783
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 2: it the way that they do it athleticism, pitching in

784
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: a monstrous park. That's why I have a tough time,

785
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: Like it's gonna they're gonna have a tough time luring

786
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: a hitter to get there. They were in on Santander,

787
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 2: so clearly they have some cash. I think Santandre's their

788
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 2: final offer came after he had already agreed to hit

789
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 2: the Toronto final offer. So luring a luring a free

790
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: agent there that that bangs, that has some slug, maybe

791
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: is a little bit tougher. But this team doesn't want

792
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 2: to just win this year, and I kind of like

793
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: what Jim Boden said about that. They're they're not saying, oh,

794
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 2: this is an all in big time rentals. This is

795
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 2: just a team that wants to try to take a

796
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 2: shot this year, but continues to see this winning window

797
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: in the next few years too.

798
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: I think if most people were asked, well, Bobby Whippy

799
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: better in the second two months here, the last two

800
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: months than he has been in the first war. He

801
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: hasn't been bad, but he hasn't been last year's version. Sure,

802
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: I'll take that. I think he could blow up for

803
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: the last couple months of the season. Salvi was better

804
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: after a really slow start. Mikel Garcia has been a

805
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: really solid player for them. Jack Kags maybe comes back

806
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: Caglion and blows up for the last couple months of

807
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: the year. So I could see this team is seeking get

808
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Good for them. I like this and nice

809
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: signing with Lugo who has a billion pitches. Hey have

810
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: you heard of Built? No? Do you pay rent?

811
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:21,760

Speaker 1: complimentary post workout shakes, and much more unique experiences that

833
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: other little moves. Eric Fetti traded to the Braves from

834
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. He had been DFAYE just for cash or

835
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: a player be named later. Carlos Carrasco also traded to

836
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 1: the Braves. They lost their entire opening starting rotation.

837
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 2: They just need inns.

838
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 3: They don't have anybody to fill these innings, and they

839
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 3: have veteran the two veteran guys can fill innings for them.

840
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 2: Was just defaid by the Cardinals. Carasco was in minor leagues,

841
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 2: wasn't he with the Yankees.

842
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: Yeah?

843
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 3: I think they just need guys that can throw innings.

844
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 3: I know right now, they know they're not making the playoffs.

845
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 2: They're just trying to get through this season.

846
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: Braves are not hurt their young guys. Sixteen games under,

847
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: not hurt their.

848
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,439
Speaker 3: Young guys because I don't know if they have any

849
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 3: young guys that they could bring up at this point.

850
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 3: They're just they just need innings from anybody, Like please,

851
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 3: oh you can pitch, you can give us five six

852
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 3: innings a start, We'll take you.

853
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: Strider didn't start the season right because he came in,

854
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: So the five that were on the opening day rotation

855
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: krats all hurt. Right now.

856
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 2: That's crazy. That is a crazy that's a crazy stat

857
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 2: especially what AJ said about they don't have anybody in

858
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: the minor leagues. What are the Braves known for since

859
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 2: I've been alive since the ninety pitching. They just produce pitching,

860
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 2: and they're all hurt. Just super unlucky season, super super

861
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: super unlucky.

862
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: Hock Corner Marcelo Meyer is on the il. The rookie

863
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: has a right wrist sprain. For the Red Sox, that

864
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: means Saddan Rafaela is going to get a lot of

865
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: infield time. That means they have three outfielders.

866
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 2: I mean Jared duraneing get traded.

867
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: That means Jared Duran's not getting traded. Okay. Also, Masataka

868
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: Yoshida is not hitting well. He just came back. Chris

869
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 1: Catillo put out a tweet. I think this was last

870
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: or yesterday. Correy said he expects to see raphael at

871
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: second base a lot and an outfield of Anthony Duran

872
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: A bray you with yo sheet a dhing. Turns out

873
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: they didn't have too many outfielders after all. And then

874
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: later Cantello pointed out how your sheet is not looking

875
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: good yet with the bat that might turn around. But

876
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: people were like, oh, we got to find a spot

877
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 1: for him and we'll see, but they're not trading.

878
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 3: Something usually happens to make all this work out exactly.

879
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 3: Time Meyer going down, Rafaela moves to the infield and

880
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 3: he just a straight immediate impact. Raphael the play made

881
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 3: last night, catch caught the line drive, dives back into

882
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 3: in the second to get the out with a runner

883
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,439
Speaker 3: on second, obviously there's one out at the time.

884
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 2: Ends up going to review he is. He is one

885
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 2: heck of a defender. Swing He's gonna swing too. He

886
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 2: swings a little bit more than AJ even swimming.

887
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 1: He likes to swing swingers.

888
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,439
Speaker 3: I saw p Eights on Sunday with the White Tugs.

889
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 3: They were playing the Cubs, and I did a game

890
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 3: Saturday hit a homer. So now I just wust to

891
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 3: have to affect a lot of people because PCA came

892
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 3: up to me and I go, hey, take it easy

893
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 3: on the White Sox today, right, And he's like.

894
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 2: Man, I can't take it easy on him, but I've

895
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 2: had a rough week.

896
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, last time I did your game, you hit

897
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 3: a homer, and he goes all right, and first of

898
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 3: bat to run double.

899
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, I don't know.

900
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, all right, let me know who you're talking

901
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: to you next time. I mean, seriously, got the magic touch.

902
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: But anyway, we got a lot of rumors to sift

903
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: through over the next couple of days. One that we

904
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 1: probably won't deal with is the Red Sox trading Jaron Duran.

905
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: It looks like they should be doing some buying though.

906
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, perhaps a.

907
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: Starter and a reliever. Chapman is a little hurt. I

908
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: don't know if it's an il stint, but his below

909
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: was down a ton. I don't remember what they said postgame,

910
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: but it sounds like it's not bad. He was down

911
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: to like ninety three ninety four. He's pitching ninety nine

912
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: average sheaters this year. It happened they took him out. Yeah,

913
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: and he he usually has like the one or two

914
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: weeks a year where he's just off kilter. But the

915
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:19,439
Speaker 1: vello that's usually command the villa was the problem here. Hey,

916
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: let's slap. Ichi Row spoke yesterday for the Hall of

917
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: Fame ceremony. The Dave Parker poem too that he wrote

918
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: was incredible for that speech to the late great Dave Parker,

919
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: of course from his son speaking, But Ichi Row stole

920
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: the show for his jokes. He's known as a funny dude,

921
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 1: and he showed off his skills. He said he didn't

922
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: know who the Marlins were when they called him to

923
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: sign in twenty fifteen. How about the writer that he

924
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: invited over to his house for dinner who didn't vote

925
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: for him? The one writer he said, offer ended, he

926
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: took it off the table too late. Didn't come show yourself,

927
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: you're done. He was good.

928
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 2: It was comedic gold when he said, he said, thank

929
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 2: you for David Sampson coming to to today's induction. He's like,

930
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: I had no idea what team you were.

931
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 1: That's good. That's impressive. Big turnout for him with Seattle fans,

932
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: with International Baseball fans of course, a ton of people

933
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: coming in from Japan. So I give a lot of

934
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: credit to him. He said, easy on the hazing because

935
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: he's a rookie again, it's the third time. He's a

936
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: rookie kind of thing. And he said, Japan, the MLB

937
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: than this.

938
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 2: And he said thanks to the Yankees fans. He said,

939
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,720
Speaker 2: even though you're here to see CC, it's cool. Thanks

940
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 2: for all your support, like he was everywhere former Yankee.

941
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeh, all right, we're back for a few minutes here

942
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: now charge the mound. We were going to go over

943
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: trades and then we're gonna later go over rumors, but

944
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,439
Speaker 1: then the Class A news took over. So I'll try

945
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: and get a couple of things in here now.

946
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 2: Before we get can we discuss the series it's about to.

947
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: Happen Cubs Brewers Cubs Brewers.

948
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 2: We didn't even mention it.

949
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but people want to hear about trades, like what

950
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: are the clubs doing? What are the Brewers doing?

951
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I know that Matthew Boyd and

952
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 3: two all stars are pitching against each other night and

953
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 3: the series is gigantic against Misowski.

954
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: Sign me up.

955
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 2: I mean that's a I mean, Jesus want a game

956
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 2: to go to. That's the game I want to go to.

957
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: They're both battling for Gino Suarez. Yeah right, that's Mooney

958
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,439
Speaker 1: last night said even though Shaw's playing better, they're still

959
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: in on Suarez. The Brewers seem to be in on

960
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 1: Bob Knight and go put out today that the Tigers

961
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: don't want Suarez to leave because the Reds are in town.

962
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: They want him to stay and acquire him.

963
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 3: It comes to Brewers have the best record in the

964
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 3: National League. They're playing for the you know, they're playing

965
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,280
Speaker 3: for the division and wildcard seating and players.

966
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 2: There's a great series. We didn't mention it.

967
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: Wow, we haven't gotten to today. Yeah, there's way to

968
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 1: mention the Tigers.

969
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 2: And the Tigers are what one and twelve their last

970
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 2: thirteen games.

971
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 1: I think they've lost twelve of fourteen beginning they won,

972
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: they won last they want Yeah, Jack fiery pitch well

973
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: for them, they needed it, and then.

974
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 2: Pitched great from the other night. Still couldn't win.

975
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 1: No, No, they dropped the first three against the Blue Jays.

976
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: Mets have won a season high time uh seven in

977
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 1: a row. They swept the Giants, who looked awful. Oh

978
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: for twenty three Giants with runners in scoring position over

979
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: the weekends. That was ugly.

980
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 2: Blue Jays are really good. But they are really good

981
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 2: putting some distance. Best record in basketball. They have got distance.

982
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: Who are they getting. I don't got to get a

983
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: reliever like a big.

984
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 2: One somebody class.

985
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: If you do, it's not going to be very helpful,

986
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: at least for baseball. Yeah, too soon Duran for the

987
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: Blue Jays. No, they're not true.

988
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 2: Yes, he's not. Sorry, not Jarant Sorry. I mean sure.

989
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 2: I like I like. I like Duran there because when

990
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 2: you look at all the list of all those guys

991
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 2: that are out there, it's strikeout, strikeout, strike out. Duran

992
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 2: can strike dudes out. But the Blue Jays play great defense,

993
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,720
Speaker 2: and I think there's a lot of surplus value there

994
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 2: and I think they could get I think I think

995
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 2: they could be in play for Griffin, Jacks and Duram.

996
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 2: But that's why that's kind of who I was leaning

997
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 2: towards when I talked when we were talking to JB earlier,

998
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 2: I thought they could really make a huge splash and

999
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 2: just crush the rest of the American League.

1000
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: I want a reliever for the Tigers who's big swing

1001
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: and miss. I think they're like twenty eighth in strikeout

1002
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: percentage from their bullpen, and I think they need an

1003
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: offensive boost now with what's going on here, there's a

1004
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 1: lot happening. We'll do lots of rumors tomorrow. The Cardinals

1005
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 1: are still trying to get Gray and Arnaudo moved. I mean,

1006
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 1: there was a ton from the weekend that's called about

1007
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: al Contra andres are looking into Stephen Kwan ormon Lereano.

1008
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: Where's healthy going?

1009
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,120
