1 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: It is that time a year again. The Major League 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 1: Baseball trade deadline is fast approaching, and Brian Cashman has 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: work to do if he wants to get the Yankees 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: back to the World Series. In this episode, ten possible 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: trade targets that could help put the Yankees over the top, 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: not only in the division, but in the American League. 7 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: Leave your trade suggestions in the comments. Let's get started 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: this his pinstrikee territory wanted to talk. That's all. How's 9 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: it going? Everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back. Every year, the 10 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: Yankees are active in the rumor mill. Some years they're 11 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: more active than others in the actual trade market, but 12 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: they're always in on a bunch of guys. But usually 13 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: Brian Cashman doesn't like to overspend. He doesn't typically trade 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: his big time top prospects. He picks and chooses which 15 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: ones he wants to deal, But when the division is 16 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: the Yankees will go for it. I think we've seen 17 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: Cashman do that before. The Rays are right on our heels, 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: and I expect Cashman to do something similar to what 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: he did in twenty twenty two, even though that didn't 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: work out because literally everybody they traded for ended up 21 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: getting surgery within like six months. It was a very 22 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: active trade deadline. He also did it in twenty seventeen 23 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: when he brought in you know, Tommy Kinley and you 24 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: know Frasier and brought back David Robertson. But this year 25 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: there's no clear guy who's being shopped. I felt like 26 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: adding the extra wild cards would have the effect that 27 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: it's kind of had, which is more teams are in 28 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: it and less teams are willing to trade unless it's 29 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: a financial situation or unless they're completely out of it. 30 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: So this is my top ten list of names that 31 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: I've seen of trade targets that make some sense for 32 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: the Yankees. Of your suggestions, kind of a conglomerate of 33 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: all of that stuff on, you know, the stuff that 34 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: insiders have put together. And I think the Yankees need 35 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: that kind of big, active deadline and to pick up 36 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: at least like two or three of these guys. Now, 37 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: they're not going to get all ten, they might not 38 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: get any of these guys, but I'm sure that they're 39 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: gonna be in conversations about all of these guys. So 40 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: for the past week, I've been asking for suggestions from 41 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: the audience. I've been researching some of the names on 42 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: my own. I've been pouring through the stat cast data, 43 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: and here are ten players that I think the Yankees 44 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: will be in on, even if they only get maybe 45 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: one or two of them. Let's begin with Dennis Santana. Yes, 46 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: familiar name, that Dennis Santana, the same one who got 47 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: suspended for trying to throw a punch at an obnoxious 48 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: fan last week, which from what I've read, was very 49 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: much justified from you know what the fan light come 50 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: out of his mouth. But also he was a guy 51 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: who had a six point twenty six er with the 52 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: Yankees last year. But do not let that PTSD cloud 53 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: the bigger picture, because something has obviously come together for 54 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: him this year with the Pirates. You know, he has 55 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: quietly become one of the better middle relievers in the 56 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: National League. His ERA is at one point five seven, 57 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: his whip is zero point seventy nine. He's striking guys 58 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: out at a solid clip. And look, the stat Cast 59 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: numbers do not lie. He is in the ninety fifth 60 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: percentile of pitching run value. He is in the eighty 61 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: sixth percentile of fastball run value, the ninety fourth percentile 62 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: of breaking ball run value. His chase percentage is phenomenal, 63 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: his walk percentage is phenomenal. His hard hit percentage and 64 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: ground ball percentage both well above average. So he is 65 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: having a great year now thirty four and a third innings, 66 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: twenty six strikeouts. He's not striking out a ton of guys, 67 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: but he's using that slider effectively. He's getting ground balls. 68 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: And this isn't some kind of a fluky run either. 69 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: If you look under the hood. His expected era is 70 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: chase rate very very good. Pittsburgh has made some tweaks. 71 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: His sinker and cutter are moving more. He's thrown a 72 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: little bit harder, and the Yankees have made deals with 73 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: the Pirates before you know, Clay Holmes, Jamison tie on, 74 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: so the lines of communication are already there. This would 75 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: not be a splashy move, but it would be exactly 76 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: the kind of move that Brian Cashman likes to make, 77 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: low cost, high upside. And let's face it, he's already 78 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: been humbled as a Yankee. So maybe the second time 79 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: you know is the charm word. Lifer says Derek, Please 80 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: tell me you didn't list IKF with a little. I 81 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: guess you'll have to wait and find out we've got 82 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: nine more to get to. Doug Legran says, I hope 83 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: the Yankees pick up the right pieces, and it's that's 84 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: really what it's about. It's not necessarily getting the flashiest names, 85 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: it's getting the right pieces for your squad. Wayne will 86 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: Go says his beard is the reason for his improvement. Well, 87 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: good news. You can have a beard with the Yankees. Now, 88 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: all right, let's move on to number nine. Jake Bird 89 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: not a household name, not flashy, but if you squint 90 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: a little bit, he's kind of like a bullpen version 91 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: of Clark Schmidt. You're not getting high v low, You're 92 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: not getting one hundred. You are getting a mixture of sinkers, 93 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: sliders and cutters, a weird release point, and a whole 94 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: lot of ground balls. This year with the Rockies, it 95 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: hasn't mattered because the Rocky stink. But you know he's 96 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: rocking a pretty decent era. Let's go ahead and share 97 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: his stats. Real quick two point six y two on 98 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: the season and a one point two eight whip. He 99 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: throws his sinker and slider nearly seventy five percent of 100 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: the time. His fastball basically just for show. Think of it. 101 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: Like the parsley on a steak. You know, it's just 102 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: there to make the other stuff look good. And then 103 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: that breaking ball ninety eighth percentile of breaking ball value, 104 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: he is elite at avoiding barrels in the ninety second percentile. Now, 105 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: he isn't gonna come in and throw fire. But if 106 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: you're looking for a sixth or seventh inning guy who 107 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: can get some ground balls, get the job done, generate 108 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: some soft contact, he could be the guy. Plus he's 109 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: a Rocky, which means the asking price is probably just 110 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,239 Speaker 1: a couple of minor leaguers, maybe a decent bottle of wine. 111 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: And if the Yankees are serious about making an October run, 112 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: and you know, finishing strong in the American League East 113 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: and holding on to the division lead which is very 114 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: quickly shrinking, they're gonna need this kind of an under 115 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: the radar arm to eat innings, to keep you in 116 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: games and to let the big arms rest. So there's 117 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: another one of those guys who could be kind of 118 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: an under the radar Brian Cashman type of move. And 119 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. All right. Let's see here, 120 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: all right, let's see here. Number eight. Ryan McMahon, Number eight, 121 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: a name that has been on the Yankees radar for 122 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: what feels like, you know, a decade, likes to really 123 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: really pick it at third base. He is in the 124 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: ninety second percentile in range, he has an elite glove, 125 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: and he's got a good arm over there. Let's be honest, 126 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm looked way better at second base than he 127 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: has looked at third base. DJ Lemayhew pretty much a 128 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: replacement player at this point. He's not as bad as 129 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: he was last year, but he's still not that good. 130 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: McMahon is a lefty bat, which would usually be a 131 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: good thing at Yankee Stadium, but honestly, the Yankees could 132 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: use another right handed bat. I'm not sure I'm in 133 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: on McMahon. I've seen a lot of suggestions, and he's 134 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: been linked in all of these articles. He's only hitting 135 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: two twenty two, so he kind of fit right in. 136 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: But here's where it gets interesting. His underlying metrics are 137 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: much better than the traditional stats to suggest he's crushing 138 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: the ball eighty first percentile in barrel rate, ninety eighth 139 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: percentile in exit velocity, got a good walk percentage eighty 140 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,679 Speaker 1: ninth percentile, Definitely strikes out a lot, way too much. 141 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: His ex wOBA is three forty nine. That puts him 142 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: right up there with some of the best run producers 143 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: in the league. And if you zoom in on the 144 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: spray chart, there's a lot of outs that would be 145 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: doubles at Yankee Stadium. Let's go ahead and let me 146 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: just scoot this up so we're not spoiling any of these. Actually, 147 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: hang on, let me just go ahead and move that. 148 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: But yeah, he is. He's having a nice bounce back 149 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: couple of months. 150 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: Here. 151 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: You see the spray chart. He's got power to all fields. 152 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't hit the ball down the left field line 153 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: too much. You wouldn't expect him to as a lefty, 154 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: but you know he could find the gap and you 155 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: know he I think he could be a nice pick up. 156 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: I'm not huge on his on his stats, but you 157 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: know he might find it with the Yankees. He could 158 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: be one of those guys. Hey, just a reminder, if 159 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: you're enjoying this podcast, go ahead and subscribe to the channel. 160 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Like the video. It helps other Yankees fans find the channel. 161 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: And now on with the show. All right, So number 162 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: seven and we got a comment here, Kayden Mill says 163 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: need to quit playing jazz out of position. He picks 164 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: it at second. I agree he's much better as a 165 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: second baseman. So number seven David Bednar of the Pirates. 166 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: He's a type of relief pitcher that I think would 167 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: do really well in the playoffs. He's got a great makeup, 168 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: he's got a funky delivery. Most importantly for a relief pitcher. 169 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: He misses bats, got a one point one two whip. 170 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: His era is two point nine to three. His strikeout 171 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: numbers are climbing again. He's been way better after a 172 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: rocky April. He had a five point one four in April, 173 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: three point eight six in May, and it's zero point 174 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: zero zero so far through twenty six days of June. 175 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: So when this guy is locked in, he is deadly 176 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: four seeing fastball at ninety seven, nasty split finger just 177 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: under ninety three miles an hour, curveball at seventy five. 178 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: The arm slot is funky. It's at thirty nine degrees, 179 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: so he's kind of like a cannon out of a battleship, 180 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: you know, just coming at you all all funky. With 181 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: rate is in the ninety six percentile. His strikeout rate 182 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: has jumped into the eighty eighth percentile. I mean, he 183 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: has been really, really great, and the Pirates aren't just 184 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: gonna give him away, right This is one of those 185 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: guys that I think Cashman would have to stretch a 186 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: little bit for. He's got a couple of years of 187 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: control left. He's thirty years old. But let's be real, 188 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: bullpen depth is a must. Let's go ahead and move 189 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: over to Bednar here, and if you want to win 190 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,599 Speaker 1: in October, you gotta have three or four guys in 191 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: the bullpen that you can trust, right and right now. 192 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,599 Speaker 1: I would trust Bednar more than pretty much half the 193 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: Yankees bullpen. I would trust him more than pretty much 194 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: anybody except for Luke Weaver at this point. Maybe Fernando Cruz. 195 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: Fernando Cruz has been filthy, but even he's had his 196 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: his tough days. And yes he has been a closer, 197 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: but he would not be the closer with the Yankees. 198 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: He would pitch in, you know, set up fashion, which 199 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: I don't think he'd have a problem with because he'd 200 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: be making a playoff push, which he's certainly not going 201 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: to do with the Pirates. It's good to number six. 202 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: So number six we have Kyle Finnegan of the Washington Nationals, 203 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: and you know, his metrics don't really jump off the screen. 204 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: He's not David Bednar, he's older, but he's probably cheaper, right, 205 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: And that's why he's higher on my list because I 206 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: think Cashman would be more likely to go after him. 207 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: Two point eight nine ERA in twenty nine games, he's 208 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: got eighteen saves, twenty eight innings, twenty three strikeouts. You know, 209 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: he's an experienced closer, but would pitch in probably middle 210 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: relief or setup duty with the Yankees. ERA is solid 211 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: two point eight nine, the whip is one point two 212 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: to one, the strikeouts are still there, and most importantly, 213 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: he's coming from the Nationals, so he's not going to 214 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: be super expensive. The Nationals are nowhere close to contending 215 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: in the NLS. You can get him for probably some 216 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: low minor leaguers right, Not sure who, but I'd imagine 217 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: single a double A guys. You're not trading somebody you 218 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: know that's going to make a difference anytime soon to 219 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: get a guy like Kyle Finnigan, which means you can 220 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: go out and have flexibility and get some more guys. 221 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: Four seam fastballs at ninety six splitter is at eighty 222 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: seven occasional slider just to give you something else to 223 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: look at. He throws the fastball two thirds of the time, 224 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: but the you know, I mean, the stuff is there, 225 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: I mean, the experience is there. So he's not blowing 226 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: anybody away with the peripherals. But he gives you flexibility 227 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: and you don't have to unload a bunch of top 228 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: one hundred prospects to get him. So you know, somebody 229 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: like Bednar would be a better pitcher, but Finnegan might 230 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: be a really good fit and you don't have to 231 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: break the farm to get him. Let's go to number five. 232 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: All right, word life's favorite IKF. Go ahead and take 233 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: a deep breath. Go ahead and take a deep breath, 234 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: because yes, we are talking about Isaiah Kiner Falleff of 235 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: the Hawaiian Hustle. And I know some fans are physically 236 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: incapable of hearing his name without gagging. But here's the truth. 237 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: He might actually be the right fit this time for 238 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: third base. Let's rewind the Yankees traded for him and 239 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: immediately shoved him at shortstop. Not sure why they needed 240 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: a shortstop, but he was not the guy that was 241 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: like buying a toaster and hoping it would make soup. Right, 242 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: he's still playing shortstop. He's playing shortstop for Pittsburgh. They're 243 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: making the same mistake. But guess what, he was a 244 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: great third baseman. You're not getting pop, you're not getting 245 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: exit v low. What you'd be getting is a contact bat, 246 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: someone who can move the line, someone who makes defensive plays, 247 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: someone who hustles, who runs the base as well. And 248 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: he's hitting two seventy three. His expected stats are underwater. 249 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: But he's one of those hit him where they ain't 250 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: kind of guys right, And you know, here's what you get. 251 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: He plays hard, he's cheap, he knows the Bronx. There's 252 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: real value in that. You're not gonna be guessing how 253 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: this guy is gonna respond to New York. He's already 254 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: done it. He never once ducked the booze. So if 255 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: you're looking for a short term, low cost, right handed 256 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: third baseman who can occasionally keep the rally alive, won't 257 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: trip over himself, can get a bunt down, can move 258 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: a runner over, IKF might finally be that guy. So 259 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see, we'll see. Let's go to number four. 260 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: Johennio Suarez. Let's wrap our arms around the idea of 261 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: Johannio Suarez in pinstripes. Is he gonna fix the Yankees 262 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: base running problems? Absolutely not. Is he gonna tighten up 263 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: the defense at third base, also no. But what he 264 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: will do is hit tanks, lots of them. Already has 265 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: twenty five home runs this year. That's not you know, 266 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: somebody who occasionally gets hot, that's middle of the order production. 267 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: This guy's gonna have close to thirty home runs by 268 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: the All Star break. Earlier this year, he had four 269 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: home runs in a game, so he's obviously still very dangerous. 270 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: He ranks in the eighty ninth percentile of barrel rate, 271 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: He's in the sixty ninth percent centile of exit velocity. 272 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: Barrel percentage is great, hard hit percentage is great. Batting 273 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: run values in the ninetieth percentile. Look at this power. 274 00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: Guy has legitimate power. So you're not getting a vacuum 275 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: at third You aren't exactly getting a fundamentals first squad 276 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: right now anyway. But what they need. One of the 277 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: things they need is a real threat to protect some 278 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: of the guys at the top of the order, like 279 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: Judge and like Bellinger, And no, he's not gonna steal 280 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: bases or save runs with his glove, but he might 281 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: win your playoff game with his bat. That's the kind 282 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: of bat that he has right now. Ziona says, he's 283 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: like Joey Gallo with a little bit more contact. That's interesting, 284 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: it's an interesting comment. All right, Let's move on to 285 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: number three, Merril Kelly. Meryl Kelly might not be the 286 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: sexiest name of the deadline, but he might be exactly 287 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: the type of pitcher that the Yankees need. He's flying 288 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: under the radar three point three to nine ERA one 289 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: point zero five whip through sixteen starts, you know, lower 290 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: than most of the front line names that you'll see 291 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: right there. So I mean he's been pitching great. He 292 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: dominates with soft stuff, so off speed run value is 293 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: a nine nine percentile, breaking ball run values in the 294 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: eighty fifth percentile. Fastball run value not great, not great. 295 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: But Jim Cott used to say that pitching is about 296 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: changing speeds and disrupting timing right, and that's exactly what 297 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: he does. So bottom line, he is a pro. He's efficient, 298 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: he's nasty without needing to hit ninety eight miles an hour. 299 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: He's quite possibly available without gutting the farm because he's 300 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: thirty six years old, he's pitched in the postseason, and 301 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: for a Yankees team that needs a little bit more 302 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: stability in the rotation. Meryll checks a lot of boxes, right, 303 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: he checks a lot of boxes. Still strikeout per inning. 304 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: I would be all in. I would be very excited 305 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: if they picked up Meryl Kelly. Number two. Mason Miller. Now, 306 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: this is somebody you're going to see this weekend. With 307 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: the A's twenty six years old. In my opinion, stay away. 308 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: But we've seen him suggest it a lot on this channel. 309 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: On this channel, still averages over one hundred miles an hour. 310 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: One hundred point eight miles an hour with the fastball. 311 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: I think he's Tommy John waiting to happen. He's got 312 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: a slider, he's got a change up that he throws 313 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: about once out of every hundred pitches. But honestly, maybe 314 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: could work with Matt Blake on developing that. Matt Blake 315 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: is kind of a change up specialist. Honestly, if I 316 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: throw one hundred point eight miles an hour, I would 317 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 1: never throw a change up. I would just go after 318 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: guys with gas. But hey, era is high four point 319 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: eighty five. I don't know if that'll bring his price down, 320 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: because you're paying for the stuff, not necessarily. You know 321 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: what he's done. The results twenty nine to two thirds innings, 322 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: forty nine strikeouts, one point one point five whip. I 323 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: don't anticipate that the A's are shopping him, but I 324 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 1: bet they would listen. I bet they would listen. And 325 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 1: I know a lot of Yankees fans have said, and 326 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: I to somewhat agree with this, avoid trading with the 327 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: Athletics because they've hosed us a number of times, Frankie 328 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: montas you know, Sonny Gray. But I do think he 329 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: would change the entire complexion of the bullpen if you 330 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: were able to pry him away. And let's be honest, 331 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: I mean, there are very few fastballs like that in 332 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, and on a cold October night, I 333 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: would not want to face it. I would not want 334 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: to face that one hundred mile an hour fastball. Let's 335 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: move on to number one, and New York Sports Empire 336 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: says Freddy Peralta is my guy, and he is my 337 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: guy too. He is the number one on our list, 338 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: and he is an ace caliber arm. Right when everything 339 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: is working, he is absolutely phenomenal. Look at the stat 340 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: cast numbers. They are legit. He is eight and four 341 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: with a two point nine zero ERA at the time 342 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: of this podcast in seventeen starts, ninety three innings and 343 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: ninety eight strikeouts, one point one to three whip. The 344 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: fastball explodes out of his hand about ninety five. Good 345 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: change up, good curve, good slider. They call him full 346 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: kitchen Freddy, throw the whole kitchen sink at you. And 347 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,239 Speaker 1: he's not pitching the contact. This is a guy who 348 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: wants to humiliate you. Right. The stuff is fantastic. You know, 349 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: the Yankees fans would love his attitude, they would love 350 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: his energy. And I know one thing about Brian Cashman, 351 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: and that is he is not afraid to go get 352 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: pitching at the deadline. We know that when he has 353 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: prospects to deal and when he has needs, he will 354 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: fill pitching first because he knows how important pitching is 355 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And last year we saw Yankees had 356 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: a pretty healthy starting pitching staff and that was one 357 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: of the reasons they were able to make it all 358 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: the way to the World Series. I think Freddy could 359 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: be a really, really nice pickup. Now he would not 360 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: be cheap. There's gonna be a lot of teams that 361 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: want Freddy Peralta, and look, I would part with a 362 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 1: Spencer Jones. I would part with some of the better prospects. 363 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: I wouldn't part with somebody like George Lombard Junior. But 364 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: you could get a lot out of me if I 365 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: was Brian Cashman to get Freddy Parolta down the stretch. 366 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: Quick word from the guys at foul Territory about Hewle 367 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: and then back with some voicemails and your honorable mansions 368 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: FT fan. 369 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 3: Did you know that Hule has sold over five hundred 370 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 3: million meals around the world and now it is your 371 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 3: turn to try it? 372 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 4: All right? 373 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: I drink it thres. 374 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 5: Come Scott so I can discuss Feele on how I 375 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 5: love it.

Take a look at 393 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: Seth haloverin one and two with a four point one 394 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: eight e R for the Rockies. Good off speed pitcher 395 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: throws the fastball one hundred miles an hour. But really 396 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: it's the off speed value that gets you because you're 397 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: looking fastball, you're gearing up, and he's got that splitter 398 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: and he's got the slider. So good stuff. One hundred 399 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: point one mile an hour average velocity on the fastball. 400 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: Be interested to see if the uh Rockies were willing 401 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: to deal him. And then we got a call for 402 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: Seth Lugo, who was four and five with a two 403 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: point nine three and fourteen starts. I think the Royals 404 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: will hang on to him. I like Seth Lugo is 405 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: a pitcher. Again, look at how mey pitches he throws 406 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: cut her fastball slider. Yeah, I mean you could do 407 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: what one, two, three, four he does like eight pitches, right. 408 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is filthy, so keep an eye 409 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: on him. He could get moved. Got a couple of voicemails. 410 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 4: Here, Hey, Derek, I tho you're doing a trade show tonight, 411 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 4: So I wanted to call in about a report on 412 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 4: the Athletic Form the in rather it said the Yankees 413 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 4: are keeping Spencer Jones in double A just to inflate 414 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 4: his stats and make him look good than trade them. 415 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 4: I'm curious what you think the Yankees could get for 416 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 4: Spencer Jones because I think King's are harder than that. 417 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 4: But yeah, that's about it, right. 418 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: I appreciate the call man, And I got a comment 419 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: here about Spencer Jones that he's never making the squad, 420 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: and then another person says that no way do you 421 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: a trade Spencer Jones. You know, for Peralta, I would 422 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: absolutely trade Spencer Jones. I would trade Spencer Jones for 423 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: anything we could get for Spencer Jones. I am not 424 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: a believer in Spencer Jones. I haven't been for a while. 425 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: Forty strikeout rate at double A. Yeah, he's hitting some 426 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 1: home runs. He's a big, strong dude, and when you 427 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: hang a slider or hang a curveball, he's demolishing it. 428 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: If he connects on a fastball, obviously he's very strong. 429 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: You hit a long way, but he's missing way too much. 430 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: I just, uh, I don't see him ever making the Yankees, 431 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: And if he did, I mean, where's he gonna play. 432 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: Domingez is starting to solidify himself at four hits the 433 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: other day. He's getting better from the rights. You've got 434 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: Bellinger under contract next year if he doesn't opt out, 435 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: which I don't think he will because he's not having 436 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: a huge year. And then Judge in right field, he's 437 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Your DH spot is tied up. You 438 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: got Stanton, you got Rice, you got first base tied 439 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: up with gold Schmidt for this year, and then Rice 440 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 1: is probably gonna move there next year. And you still 441 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: got Stanton under contract for a little bit. So I 442 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: don't see Spencer Jones making the Yankees. And if I 443 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: were cash man, he would be among the dudes that 444 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: I would be shopping as part of a package to 445 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: get somebody like a Freddy Peralta, Hey. 446 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 4: Derek, are we doing in franking? 447 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 2: Lope? 448 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 4: Is there? 449 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 2: And about the trade deadline coming up, they were, at 450 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 2: least at the beginning of the season, they were a 451 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 2: lot of candidates were probably we're going to sell. But 452 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: as you noticed in the last month or so, those 453 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: candidates have been winning. Let's say Arizona, Atlanta and so on. 454 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 2: They and winning, so they I'm looking really much as 455 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 2: sellers anymore. 456 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 4: They keep winning. 457 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 2: So I believe this trade day trade that Maine is 458 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 2: gonna be extremely difficult for buyers, especially the Yankees, because 459 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: there's only gonna be a few teams out there are 460 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: going to be selling, and since there's gonna be more, yeah. 461 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna cut you off. I agree that there's a 462 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 1: lot more teams in it. So we got to comment 463 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: here about from this from Word Life where he says 464 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: he's brought down his k rate. Look what he's doing recently. 465 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: I've been well, I've been watching almost every day. Sixty 466 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: nine strikeouts in one hundred and seventy at bats, right, 467 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: I mean, what what Presett's got That's like close to 468 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: forty percent. I don't have the I don't have a 469 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: calculator in front of me, but I bet we can 470 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: figure it. Figure it out. That's that's way too many 471 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: for double A. Come on, sitting two seventy one, three 472 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: eighty nine on base percentage nine eighty nine. Ops. He 473 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 1: does have, say, exteen home runs that was leading the 474 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: Eastern League. But I'm just not a believer. I mean, 475 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: I just try and keep it real with you, guys. 476 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: I am not a believer in Spencer Jones.
