1
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: He's ready for the season.

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,239
Speaker 2: Fans side and NFT inside of Robert Murray joining us

3
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: right now on FT. Happy Opening Day to you, Robert,

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 2: and let's first continue the conversation on Pete car Armstrong.

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: What do you think of the extension and the lack

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: of options in the extension?

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, first of all, happy opening to day.

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 4: Boys. It's good to be here.

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 3: It was a long offseason, but we made it one

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: piece somehow. But the Pete car Armstrong deal that did

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 3: not catch me, I don't think anybody else around the league,

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: by surprise. We saw a ton of buzz about it

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: last year, and I didn't really get the indication that

14
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 3: last year like it was a serious possibility. But this

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: offseason it was a real priority for them. They saw

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 3: the impact that he ended up having in Chicago in

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: that outfield, and they saw the ability with the bat,

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: and they believe he can be even better and it

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: was a big priority for them. And it was very

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: unique deal in the fact that it did not contain

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: any club options. It's super rare, but it just underscores

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 3: their belief here in Pete Kerr Armstrong and Hiss just

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: his upside because he's he's a high floor guy, but

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: his upside is just tremendous. So I thought it made

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: a ton of sense for Pete Armstrong to do that

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: because it's also it secures him one hundred plus million

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: dollar contract right now, but it also allows him to

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: test free agency when he's thirty or thirty one, which

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: is the same age as as when Aaron Judge was

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 3: a free agent, when Marcus Sammye was a free agent,

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 3: some of these other guys. So he's got another bite

32
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: at the apple when it comes to getting a mega

33
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: deal in free agency. And if he continues at the

34
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: arc that he's on now and what the Cubs believe

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: he can be, it's going to be just as a

36
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: very lucrative contract whenever that eventually comes. But there is

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: a couple of different ways the Cubs could have gone

38
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: about this thing here. They could have done a deal

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: quite like something like this, something along the lines of

40
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: like a Corbyn Carroll kind of deal, or even if

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: they wanted to keep him in Chicago for the remainder

42
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: of his career, and if that was something that they

43
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: were able to agree to, possibly like a Fernando Tatist

44
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: junior or something along those lines kind of contract, but

45
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: they settled on this six years for one hundred and

46
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: fifteen million. I love the move for both sides, and

47
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 3: it also feels good talking about the Cubs here too

48
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 3: as a team that's that's spending, because in previous off

49
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: seasons we've really gotten on them for not spending and

50
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: the Ricketts family for not investing serious dollars into this

51
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: Cubs team. But they went out and got out Alex Bregman,

52
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: they got Edward Cabrera, they get this deal done. They've

53
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: also gotten a bunch of other deals done.

54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 4: In free agency.

55
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 3: It feels good when you're talking about the Chicago Cubs

56
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: mentioning them as like a serious spender, which.

57
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: It's how it should be, and it's.

58
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: Why I think they're the favorite in that division as

59
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 3: of this point, because of.

60
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: The rarity of the fact that there's no options and

61
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: the fact that that Christopher Sanchez just did kind of

62
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 4: like a rare thing too, where they extended some of

63
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 4: his contract through the option years that they had. Is

64
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: this signifying that teams are looking that way because of

65
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 4: the fact that the new CBA might X nay some

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: of those option years if something happens with the new CBA,

67
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 4: because now two teams have done odd things within the

68
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: last week, and then we can look ahead to the

69
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 4: other extensions that are possible.

70
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: No, it's it's totally possible that could end up being

71
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: the case here. And although that being said, like the

72
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: Phillies doing that with Christopher Sanchez, that was a very

73
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: unique case in the fact that they had a player

74
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: signed to a super team friendly deal and they end

75
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: up ripping up that contract and giving him one hundred

76
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: plus million bucks like that was extremely rare. And between

77
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: the Phillies doing that and also getting Hazelsizarto, I think

78
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: they deserve a ton of credit there. The Cubs doing

79
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: this with Pee car Armstrong, Like, yeah, it definitely sets

80
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: a different precedent here for sure, And I do wonder

81
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: in talking to people around the league if that could

82
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: end up becoming a new trend, because even before the

83
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: terms ended up leaking yesterday, I had somebody mentioned that

84
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 3: he would be bet the house that it would end

85
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: up including a club option, which I hope he didn't

86
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: end up betting the house because then he'd be out

87
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: of a house, which I mean that would not be

88
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: very good. But yeah, no, it could definitely be a

89
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: new trend. But again, I love the deal here for

90
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: the Cubs. I think it makes a ton of sense.

91
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 3: And plus another part of this too is they really

92
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: didn't have They don't have a ton of players at

93
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: least position players signed long term on that roster. So

94
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: now you have Alex Bregman, you have Pete kro Armstrong, yeah,

95
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: Matt Shaw, you have some others in there. So that

96
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: also gives them some long term certainty as as far

97
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 3: as offense goes.

98
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: Robert anything else that you would expect to potentially break

99
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: in the next twenty four to forty eight hours on

100
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: the extension front, and if not, I still wanted to

101
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: get your take on Connor Griffin getting an extension offer

102
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: over one hundred million dollars. I think the burning question

103
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 2: is if he took it, is he in the major leagues.

104
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: I've never heard of something like that going down in

105
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: a player not getting a big league opportunity. Some fans

106
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: pointed out Christian Campbell, Yet he got a chance in

107
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 2: the bigs and then he wasn't hitting, so they sent

108
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 2: him down. So if you get big money, they're not like,

109
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 2: oh cool, you're making millions of dollars.

110
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: We'll see in the minor leagues.

111
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: No, for sure, and it's always possible we could have

112
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: something break here between now and in first pitch either

113
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: I mean tomorrow. I mean, I don't think anything's gonna

114
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: be coming today as far as the Giants or the

115
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 3: Yankees go. I could be wrong, but I do remember

116
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: a few years ago it was Opening Day and I

117
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: knew Key Brian Hayes was getting extended.

118
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: It was.

119
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: It was one of the most crazy things ever. It

120
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: was like an hour before first pitch, and I dropped

121
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: his story and Hayes ends up going to bat, and

122
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: I believe he ends up getting hit by a pitch

123
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: and he leaves the game with an injury, and he

124
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: hadn't completed his physically yet. I believe it was. It

125
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: was one of the craziest things I've ever encountered. So

126
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: it's always possible we have something coming here as far

127
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 3: as extension goes, and I do think a Connor Griffin

128
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 3: extension remains possible. I don't think it's gonna en up

129
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 3: happening between now and first pitch tomorrow, but it's something

130
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: that the Pirates and Griffin have had a lot of

131
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: conversations about.

132
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 4: We saw Ben.

133
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: Cherrington say the other day that he wants to be

134
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh and that the organization would like to keep

135
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: him in Pittsburgh, but they don't need to extend him

136
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: like right this very second, because by all indications he's

137
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: not going to be on the opening day roster. He

138
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: didn't necessarily like blow everyone away with his numbers in

139
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 3: spring training. But that being said, they are very confident

140
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: he's going end up being a long term asset for

141
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 3: that team. You talk to people around the team, they

142
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 3: talk about his poise, how even when he struggles, he's

143
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: still the same guy every day, and you talk about

144
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: the tools in his body is he's unbelievable. Only nineteen,

145
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: he's barely played above double A. They can be patient here.

146
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: They send him down to the minors, they can allow

147
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: him to get that development. But I do think an

148
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: extension remains a possibility, And if they end up getting

149
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: that done, that would just be the chair on top

150
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: of the like the last twelve months for the Pirates.

151
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: You get Griffin extended. If that does get done, you

152
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: bring in Brandon Lao, Ryan o'heur and Marcelo Zuna. You

153
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: have that pitching staff there too. We've We've joked about

154
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: it on the show before. They're my Pittsburgh Pirates for

155
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: my belief in them. Yeah, I got ahead of it,

156
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: so you didn't have to mention as NBAJ, But it's

157
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: I really like the direction of that team, and if

158
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: they get that deal done, then that the upside for

159
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: that team long term just goes even higher.

160
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: This is it Kratz opening weekend of the season. And

161
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: if you're looking for tickets for an MLB game and

162
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: they're either sold out or you're just a little bit

163
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: lost and you need some help, Seekik is.

164
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: There for you.

165
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: It's not just a spot where you buy the tickets.

166
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: Is where you feel good about buying the tickets because

167
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: they have your back with their features.

168
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: And you know you're gonna get a good price. That's

169
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 4: that's the deal that everybody's looking for. But especially early

170
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: in the season up here in the Northeast, you kind

171
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: of want to go to a day game where you're

172
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 4: still going to be in the sun. It might shift

173
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: during the summer, but hey, you know what, seek will

174
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 4: let you know exactly where you're sitting and if it's

175
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: a good spot to watch the game.

176
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: That's right.

177
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: Each ticket is rated on a scale of one to ten,

178
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: so you know you're getting a good deal. So look

179
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: for the green dots. Green means good, red means bad.

180
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: And of course we have a code for you. You

181
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: can use code Territory ten for ten percent off your

182
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: next set of tickets at Sea Geek. That's ten percent

183
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: off any tickets with promo code Territory one zero. Make

184
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: sure you click the link in the description to download

185
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: the app and have the code automatically added to your

186
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: account so you can use it later.

187
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: How about Freddy Peralta, because they traded some significant pieces

188
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 4: for Freddy p to come in and be the number

189
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 4: one that they thought they would have in some short

190
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 4: term deals and they haven't been able to do it.

191
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 4: Is it the mets sphere of that long term pitching

192
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 4: contract or is it Freddie Pea's betting on bet ability

193
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 4: to bet on himself because it's his free agent year. Yeah.

194
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 3: I do like they've had conversations. My impression is that

195
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: it's probably unlikely as of this point, and I think

196
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: that's what exactly you just said. There is spot on

197
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 3: is he's he told I believe John Hayman of The

198
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: New York Post that he wanted something around like seven

199
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 3: or eight years, and Paralta is around thirty. I can't

200
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: remember his exact age, but it's somewhere around thirty. And

201
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: I don't see David Stearns or being in a hurry

202
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: to give him like that seven or eight year contract.

203
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: I'd imagine he'd prefers something more shorter term, and that

204
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 3: to me would be a big obstacle if I'm Paralta,

205
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: if I'm his camp, So I don't expect to Freddy

206
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 3: Pearolta's extension to be done between now and opening day.

207
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 3: I do think he'd be really smart to end up

208
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 3: playing this thing out as long as he possibly can,

209
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: because if he can end up using this season as

210
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 3: a platform here in New York, and if he puts

211
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 3: up similar numbers to what he did Milwaukee, or is

212
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: somehow even better, he is going to be a very

213
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: very rich man when it comes to free agency. Does

214
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: he get two hundred million, I don't know, but he

215
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: is set up to be the number two starting pitcher

216
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: available at free agency next year, not name Derek Scoogle.

217
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: So he's got everything in front of him right now.

218
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: And if you can end up doing that in New

219
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: York and also do that in the postseason as well. Yeah,

220
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: the sky's the limit for his future earnings.

221
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: All right, Robert, let's hit the season preview portion of

222
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 2: the conversation. So there's two topics we want to hit.

223
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: Decision makers under the most pressure heading into the season,

224
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: and then some of your surprise teams. Let's start with

225
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 2: the decision makers. Give us a name or two, and

226
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: then we'll follow up.

227
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 3: All right, sounds good to me. So let's start with

228
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: Brian Cashman here. He is running back majority of the

229
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 3: same team that he ended up having last year. I

230
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: mean there's some differences there. Obviously they lost some relievers,

231
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 3: but offensively, they retained Trent Grisham, which I think that

232
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: was kind of a head scratcher, giving him the qualifying offer,

233
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: and I kind of felt like it was a no

234
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: brainer for him to accept it. And then they obviously

235
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: brought back Cody Bellinger, which I thought was vital. I

236
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: don't like they won, like we're on ninety plus games,

237
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: I think ninety four games last year, so they gets

238
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 3: still a very talented team here for sure, But how

239
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: much better it is or how much better it can

240
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: be this year, I don't necessarily know. So I think

241
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 3: the pressure is gonna be on him to get this

242
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: thing right. I also think that falls on Aaron Boone

243
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: here as well, because some of the guys that they

244
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: ended up acquiring last year at the deadline, a guy

245
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: like Ryan McMahon, they're betting on him and some of

246
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 3: these other guys to be more comfortable in New York

247
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: to end up having that experience from playing last year

248
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 3: allow them to hit their ground running this season. So

249
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 3: I think both of those guys are going to be

250
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 3: under the microscopt I feel like you always are if

251
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: you're in New York. That just comes with the territory.

252
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 3: And another one, I'll give you two more here. Craig

253
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: Breslo is another one. And like me saying that does

254
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: not mean that I think he's on the hot seat

255
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 3: by any means. I think he's done a good job there.

256
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: I think there's some things I don't agree with, but

257
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: the way that he's built around the pitching staff. I

258
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 3: struggle to find many pitching staffs better than what they

259
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: have in Boston. But they were they were very serious

260
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 3: about retaining Alex Bregman watched him go to the Cubs

261
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 3: despite seeing his impact on the field, in the clubhouse.

262
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 3: They were interested in Bobachett. They had very strong interest

263
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 3: in bobashett I can confidently say that did not get him.

264
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: They had interest in Kyle Schwarber, but they were nowhere

265
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 3: close to anywhere close or they were nowhere close in

266
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: the bidding for Shwarber there, and they end up getting

267
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: Wilson Contreras. They got Isaiah Kiner Filefa, they got Caleb

268
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: Durbin from the Brewers. So we'll see exactly how those

269
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 3: guys end up covering for the loss of Bregman and

270
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 3: not getting one of those big bombers by any means.

271
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: But I think that's gonna be something that a lot

272
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 3: of people are watching there in Boston. But again, their

273
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: pitching staff is gonna be able to cover up a bunch.

274
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 3: And the last one here is Ben Charrington. Because the

275
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 3: way they've spent this offseason, They've went out and got

276
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 3: Brandon Lowe, they got Ryan o her Marcelo Zuna addressed

277
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: the bullpen there as well, added some other guys. Playoffs

278
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 3: are now they should be the expectation here in Pittsburgh,

279
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 3: considering just the overall state of that team. If they

280
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 3: don't make the postseason, I think there might end up

281
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: being some criticism there of Charrington, But that being said,

282
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: I'm still a huge believer in what they've done this offseason.

283
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 3: I think they've had one of the better off seasons

284
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 3: of any team in baseball, and they're going to be

285
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 3: better and I expect them to compete in that division

286
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 3: and compete for a wildcard spot. So those are the

287
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: three guys that I'm really watching here the most, and

288
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 3: for varying reasons.

289
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 5: Of course, Oh, Robert Bryan Cashmans never getting fired, so

290
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 5: you don't have to worry unless still he resigns. You

291
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 5: can take him off of this nothing's changing there. Craig

292
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 5: Breslo is a pitching guy. He brought in great pitching.

293
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 5: Their offense will be with their offenses, but I think

294
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 5: they still make the postseason.

295
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 4: That'll be enough to save him.

296
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 5: Ben Cherrington, for me, is the only one on this

297
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 5: list that you know, he's been there, what almost ten

298
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 5: years now, and they haven't even come close to making

299
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 5: the postseason. He was finally given some leeway to spend

300
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 5: money and so maybe he gets a little more post

301
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 5: you know, a little more heat if they don't make

302
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 5: the postseason. But still he wasn't given enough to that

303
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 5: in the National League to cover up the deficiencies they're

304
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 5: still going to have no matter how you know. Ryan Hurt,

305
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 5: nice player, Brandon Lowe, nice player.

306
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 4: Right.

307
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 5: Paul's scheme's great, obviously, but they still don't have enough

308
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 5: in my opinion, to compete in a tough National league.

309
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 5: The one that caught my eyes was John Schneider. John

310
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 5: Sneder went to the World Series last year. Why would

311
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 5: John Schneider be under pressure? He just got a contract

312
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 5: extension and he went to the World Series last year,

313
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 5: and this team is supposed predicted to be good if

314
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 5: they make the postseason and don't make a run to

315
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 5: the World Series. He shouldn't be under pressure. He's done

316
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 5: a nice job.

317
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: I feel like, no, he's totally done a nice job.

318
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: And I hope him or anyone who read that piece

319
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: didn't interpret that as him being in the hot seat,

320
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: especially after him getting an extension. But they were so

321
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: close last season, like they were inches away from winning

322
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: the World Series, and they're coming back this off or

323
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: they're coming back this season. They obviously lost Bobaschet. They

324
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: had some pretty key performances last year, especially from a

325
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: guy like Ernie Clement, who really stepped up. They had

326
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 3: a nice off season, getting some pitching, getting Dylan Cees

327
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 3: as a headliner there. But when I say pressure, it's

328
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: trying to extract as much as much as they did

329
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 3: last year out of those guys and doing that again

330
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: this year. So, like, I think he's very capable of

331
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: doing that. I think he's going to do that. But

332
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 3: I think a lot of eyeballs are going to be

333
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: on the Blue Jays for doing that, because they are

334
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: set up better than most teams to get back to

335
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 3: the World Series, and I do believe they absolutely can.

336
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: I absolutely love the Blue Jays. But yeah, and obviously

337
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: the Blue Jays are very high on Schneider after extending him,

338
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: extending Ross Atkins too. So again, it's not me putting

339
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 3: pressure and saying that he's on the hot seat by

340
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: any means. I just yeah, I think it's going to

341
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: be a lot of people watching him and seeing if

342
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: you can get the most out of the team. Once again, all.

343
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 4: Right, I'm going to set an over under for you

344
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 4: for the season. One and a half managers fired by

345
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: September thirtieth, just because of how many Matt new managers

346
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 4: came in and the teams that you know, expectation blah

347
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 4: blah blah. One and a half managers fired over or

348
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 4: under by the end of this.

349
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: Season, I'll say, I'll say it over. There's always there's

350
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 3: always different change that happens during the or after the season.

351
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily know what it could be like that

352
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: being set like, okay, this is I'm not saying that

353
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 3: he's going to get fired by any means, but I

354
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: think a lot of people are gonna be watching a

355
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 3: guy like Tony Battello there in San Francisco. He is

356
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: obviously a first time manager here in San Francisco, well,

357
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: a first time major league manager. I should say. He's

358
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 3: got a very experienced coaching staff there in San Francisco.

359
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: But going from the collegiate game to the to the

360
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 3: major leagues is gonna be a huge adjustment for him.

361
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are watching to see

362
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: exactly how he does there. I think I think we'll

363
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 3: end up being fine. Especially having a guy like Ron Washington.

364
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: I think that makes that transition a whole lot easier

365
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: for him. But Buster Posey was betting big on Tony

366
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 3: Battello there and a lot of eyeballs are gonna be

367
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 3: on that one for sure.

368
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Robert, let's go to surprise teams drop some for us.

369
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 4: What do you have give me?

370
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 3: I'm going with the A's. I'm not gonna go with

371
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: the pirates here, but I'm going I'm going with the A's.

372
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 3: I love what they've done offensively and building around that team,

373
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: and they obviously were very aggressive and trying to extend

374
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 3: different guys this offseason, Tyler sodor Strum, Jacob Wilson. They

375
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 3: got those two deals done. They have been trying with

376
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 3: some others obviously have not gotten them across the finish

377
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 3: line here, Nick, Nick Kurtz would be if they could

378
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 3: get that deal done, I think that'd be something they

379
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 3: would be super excited about. I don't expect that to

380
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 3: end up happening as of this point, And I've talked

381
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 3: to people around the league, other agents who are not

382
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: associated with this entire situation here, who said, if he

383
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 3: waited on year to year and if you hit free

384
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 3: agency at the trajectory that he's on right now, he

385
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 3: could be looking at it like a Wan Soto type contract.

386
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 3: Like That's how high people were across baseball are on

387
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 3: Nick Kurtz. So I think between having him having or

388
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 3: headlining your team and having some of these other young

389
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 3: players there. Having Clark in the outfield patrolling the oftfield

390
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 3: and catching basically everything out there is big. But do

391
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 3: they have enough pitching to get through this entire season.

392
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I've been proven wrong before, but

393
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 3: I think the A's finally have a really strong direction

394
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 3: of the fact that they've committed to it and giving

395
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: meaningful dollars to a lot of these players is a

396
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: really good thing for them and also for baseball as well.

397
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 4: Are the Reds considered a surprise team since they did

398
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 4: make the playoffs next year? If somebody thinks they're going

399
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 4: to make the playoffs even with Hunter Green out.

400
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like a lot of people are

401
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: underestimating them. So I would say maybe I would say,

402
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 3: you know what, I'll go with.

403
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will.

404
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 3: And I do like what the Reds have because they

405
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: have that young Corey that they have. They brought back

406
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 3: Gino Suarez, which I thought that was one of the

407
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: best deals of the entire offseason. It came down to

408
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: them and the Pirates got it for one year for

409
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 3: fifteen million. I thought that was a super savvy move

410
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 3: by that entire front office there and getting him back,

411
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 3: and he wanted to be back in Cincinnati. It's a

412
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 3: place is very comfortable in and they made a splash

413
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 3: last year, and or they made a really nice run

414
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 3: last year getting to the postseason. Having Frank ConA there managing,

415
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 3: I think that really ends up raising the floor for them,

416
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 3: and also just having another year under him is going

417
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 3: to be a very good thing for them overall. So

418
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 3: I am absolutely buying stock in the Reds. Despite Hunter

419
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: Green being on the injured list. I think they are

420
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: set up to be a pain in the butt for

421
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 3: the NL Central but also just the National League. I

422
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 3: think they have I think they're going to be one

423
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: of the more fun teams this year to follow.

424
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: You know what constitute surprise team AJ they made the playoffs.

425
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: We did power rankings.

426
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 2: Talking about another publication that put them at twenty two yesterday.

427
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: So if you think they are the twenty second best team, Robert,

428
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: you can watch it back later. If you missed it yesterday,

429
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: it's a different spot. I wasn't fansided. You guys have

430
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 2: it in better shape over there.

431
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 5: Twenty two missing Green and Lodolo because Lodolo is hurt

432
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 5: too now, so that's been a problem for him a

433
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 5: lot in his career, So that hurts their chances a lot.

434
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 5: And I know playoff chase is going to be close,

435
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 5: so every game they miss is another chance to not

436
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 5: make the postseason.

437
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: They made it by what one game?

438
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 5: They made it basically a tiebreaker last year with the

439
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 5: rights and the Mets collapsed.

440
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: Yep, okay, we shall see Robert good stuff. I We're

441

Speaker 4: Yeah.

530
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 2: Some of these are the fun ones in terms of

531
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 2: where you should actually be placing the Rockies at fifty

532
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 2: five point five.

533
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say over, just because I never want to

534
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 5: see a team lose one hundred and seven games.

535
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: I also believe the over on that one.

536
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 4: It's so hard to lose one hundred and seven games. Yeah,

537
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna say they lose one hundred and six games,

538
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 4: so I guess I'll go over.

539
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: They signed some veteran pitchers that should help fill some innings.

540
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 4: No, they have a new front office. They have it's

541
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 4: just so hard. Seven games.

542
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: My point is the extra so hard, Like especially.

543
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 5: They play eighty one at Corps, they'll mixing some wins

544
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 5: they shouldn't have gotten.

545
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: They've picked at the top of the draft forever. There's

546
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: going to be some.

547
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,800

548
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: To bar Is, and I think that he got to

549
