1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Are we tearing down? Are we going forward? If you're

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: building up, well, that's questionable in the first place because

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: Trout and Rendon are always injured, and also it's questionable

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: because Addie Moreno isn't going to spend the necessary money.

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to the Thursday edition of Fair Territory. I'm

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: Ken Rosenthal here with a lot of rizzo. It is

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: the post deadline edition and a lot of We have

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: a ton to talk about. We've got winners, we've got losers,

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: but let's start by just talking about how this deadline

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: went down. It was a little different.

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: It was a little different.

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: Don't forget to get your questions into the chat for

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 3: Grill and Ken coming up. We appreciate you guys here

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: on Fair Territory and Ken. Let me ask you this.

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: I feel as if, really the only two players that

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: could have changed the landscape of the postseason picture are

17
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: still with their respective teams.

18
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: They didn't move.

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: You're talking about Blake Snell and Tarek Scouble, and I

20
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: would agree, Alana, there were no earth chattering moves here,

21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: but we did see moves around the edges for certain teams,

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: and moves that they think they intend to help them

23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: down the stretch and into the postseason. Now, it's always

24
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: difficult to predict which players might have the greatest impact,

25
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: but I do expect that some of the guys that

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: moved are going to make meaningful differences for their teams,

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: the kind that you're talking about with scoobl and Snell.

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: A guy dominating like CC Sabathia did that one year

29
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: for the Brewers. No, it's not going to be like that,

30
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: but I do expect that there will be some improvements

31
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: with some clubs, and some of these deals will prove fruitless.

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: That's what always happens.

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about some of the winners and

34
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: the non winners of the respective trade deadline as we

35
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: get into the lead here, Kenny, and I think for

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: the first winner.

37
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: For me, it's the New York Yankees.

38
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: Obviously, Jazz Chisholm gives them a boost as far as

39
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: personality is concerned. They're undefeated since the acquisition of the

40
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: dynamic outfielder of force. They get to right or two

41
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: relief pitchers rather in Mark Leier Junior and Delo Santos.

42
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: I thought perhaps that they were going to get a

43
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: lefty in the bullpen as far as that is concerned. Obviously,

44
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: Clay Holmes hasn't been the best as far as you know,

45
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: struggling since the start of June with an era above four.

46
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: So what do you think though about adding the two

47
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: right handed relievers and Justissels.

48
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: They needed swing and missing the bullpen and they got it,

49
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: So that was a positive for them. If they had

50
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: gotten Jack Flaherty as well, boy, it would have been

51
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: an amazing deadline in my opinion for them. I was

52
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: a little concerned initially and still am concerned about Jash

53
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Chishom junior at third base position. He had never played professionally,

54
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: But so far, so good. The guy is an athlete

55
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: and again he has made an impact so far. My

56
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: first winner would be the Saint Louis Cardinals, and Saint

57
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: Louis Cardinals did what I thought was kind of a

58
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: remarkable thing. They acquired Eric Fetti and Tommy fam in

59
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: that three team deal with the Dodgers and White Sox.

60
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: And they did it by giving up a player who

61
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: hasn't even played for them this year and Tommy Edmund

62
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: So to me, that was a really positive move for them.

63
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: And Eric Fetti is the stabilizer they it for the rotation.

64
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: He was a very much coveted player Tommy fam We've

65
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: seen what he has done already. I'll have more on

66
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: him later, And it just seemed to me that was

67
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: a really big step for a general manager President of

68
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: Baseball Operations John Mazzaylak, who has taken some criticism in

69
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: the past for not being aggressive enough. And they also

70
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: got the reliever Sean Armstrong.

71
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy to think that the Cardinals are really

72
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: very much in this thing because at the beginning of

73
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: the season, and really up until about a month ago,

74
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: I wasn't certain they were going to make the postseason,

75
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 3: but they addressed the starting pitching need, as you mentioned

76
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: with Eric Fetty. The number two winner for me, I

77
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: would say is the Los Angeles Dodgers. The reason being

78
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: is I love the Jack Flerity move and I also

79
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: like the Michael Kopeck move. I do think that Kopik

80
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: will really help them in the bullpen. And Jack Flaherty

81
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: obviously went healthy, and you did a tremendous job talking

82
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: about the fact that he did have some back issues

83
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: and that's why the New York Yankees passed on him.

84
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: But I do think with the rotation that has been

85
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: decimated by injury. Ken that Jack Flaherty is a good

86
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: fit in Los Angeles. You mentioned Tommy Edmund obviously hasn't

87
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: played yet, but he's hopefully gonna fill a void there.

88
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: As far as the middle part of the infield is

89
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: concerned with the injuries that they have to Chris Taylor

90
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: and Miguel Rojas and Max Munsey, I'm.

91
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: With you, Alano. They did well, and they needed to

92
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: do well because the team that is chasing them suddenly

93
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: four and a half games back, is my other winner here,

94
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: and I'm talking, of course about the San Diego Padres.

95
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: And to assess them properly, you really have to go

96
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: back to spring training when they got Dylan Cease, and

97
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: then they acquired Luis Arias, and then at the deadline,

98
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: these four players, the two names in the middle being

99
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: the most prominent, Tanner Scott and Jason Adam. They've built

100
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: a super bullpen. And I talked about this on foul Territory.

101
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: Aj Preller trades prospects like no one else. He acquires

102
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: big name talent like no one else. And you wonder, man,

103
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: when is this gonna crash? And I've wondered this, and

104
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: I've said it repeatedly. They're gonna run out. It's gonna

105
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: be a problem for them, And yet he seems to

106
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: keep replenishing the systems. And as I said also on

107
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: foul Territory, their win h is not forever here and

108
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: they need to win in the next couple of years

109
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: because Manny Machado's getting older, Xander Bogart is getting older,

110
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: and they're pitching is kind of in an uncertain state.

111
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: They're starting pitching now. So before the deadline started, I

112
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: asked the GM on another team, I said, hey, do

113
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: you think aj Preller will be trying to save his

114
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: job and he'll be aggressive because of that or will

115
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: he just be aggressive because he's always aggressive? And the

116
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: GM said, how could you tell the difference? That's who

117
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: he is. So he did a really good job, I

118
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: thought in supplementing his twenty twenty four roster.

119
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: I agree with you on that.

120
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: I feel like Aj Preler rather is the Jerry Depoto

121
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 3: of the National League.

122
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: Both of those guys do.

123
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: Love to trade. Let's talk about my non winner. The

124
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: first non winner for me ken is the Chicago White Sox.

125
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: And it's not even just because of the trade deadline.

126
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 3: This entire season for the White Sox has been a

127
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: waste of space. Crochet didn't do himself any favors by

128
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 3: having those contract demands as far as that's concerned, demanding

129
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: that he'd stay in the starting rotation.

130
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 2: Didn't want to relieve, so he had.

131
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: Really eliminated any possibility of going from a pretender to

132
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: a contender. But the way that they have handled situations

133
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: this entire season, if you take a look at this tweet,

134
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: I believe that we had. If you throw out the

135
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: two fourteen game losing streaks that the Chicago White Sox

136
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: have had, they've had two of them, they still would

137
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 3: have the worst winning percentage in baseball. They're currently at

138
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: twenty seven and fifty three. That three thirty eight winning percentage,

139
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 3: Kenny still the worst in baseball, and that's not even

140
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: including the two fourteen game losing streaks. So for me,

141
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 3: the White Sox are are my number one non winner

142
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 3: for the entire twenty twenty four season.

143
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: On pace for one hundred and twenty three losses, which

144
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: would be a record in the modern era, breaking the

145
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty the Mets had in nineteen sixty two,

146
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: and their manager pedro Graphal he could be fired any

147
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: moment now. Now, my first loser is going to be

148
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: a team that you're intimately familiar with. Alana used to

149
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: work with that the Colorado Rockies. And the Rockies are

150
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: always a study in fascination at the line because they

151
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: are inert they basically do nothing. Now, what they did

152
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: this deadline was trade two relievers, Jalen Beeks on an

153
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: expiring contract and Nick Meers, who then revealed that he

154
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: was tipping pitches for a month and a half and

155
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: no one in the Rockies organization even pointed this out

156
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: to him. So the way I described in my latest

157
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: column was that they are conscientious objectors at the deadline,

158
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: and they continued their run of basically doing nothing.

159
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Colorado Rockies are loyal to a fault.

160
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: They get rid of big guys though when they shouldn't

161
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: get rid of big guys, and I think they're just

162
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: content to exist. I don't think they have any intentions

163
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: ever of really going for My non winner. Number two

164
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: is the Miami Marlins, and ken to me, the riding

165
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: was on the wall when they traded their best player

166
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: back on May fifth, when they got rid of Luisa

167
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: Rise back on May fifth, when this team was a

168
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: postseason team in twenty twenty three. That told me all

169
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: I needed to know about what the Miami Marlins were

170
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: doing in terms of their direction. I mean, they have

171
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: Peter Bendix that came over from Tampa Bay. You cannot

172
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: run the Marlins like the Tampa Bay Rays. Kim Ang

173
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: you know, left, Derek Jeter left. I mean, it says

174
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 3: a lot to me, speaks volumes about this organization and

175
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: the focus. You see all of the guys that they've

176
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: already traded away. To me, the Marlins had no reason

177
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: but to go forward in twenty twenty four to kind

178
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: of repeat what they tried to do in twenty three.

179
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: Skips Schumacher National League Manager of the Year, and he

180
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 3: may not even be there next year.

181
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: That's right, a lot. And you can praise them for

182
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: the hall that they got back in these various trades,

183
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: and based on industry perceptions, they did well. But the

184
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: entire premise of this team coming off twenty three, I'm

185
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: with you on that. I did not like it. And

186
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: I know they had work to do and their infrastructure

187
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: wasn't great all that, but you can do all that

188
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: and fix what's underneath the hood while improving the major

189
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: league team. And from the beginning of this season, their

190
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: message was we're not trying no good now. My number

191
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: two loser I could pick from a number of teams

192
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: would certainly qualify. They added only a reliever. The Angels

193
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: should have made more deals, but I'm going to go

194
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: with a contender because this team, to me acting kind

195
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: of curiously. The San Francisco Giants. They didn't trade Blake Snell.

196
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: I have no problem with that. They're going forward with

197
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: the best rotation they believe in the game. It's Snell,

198
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: it's all those others, Ray and Hayden, Birdsong, the kid

199
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: that's come up, and of course Logan Web who was

200
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: brilliant last night. But while they traded Jorge sol Laire

201
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: to get rid of his money, okay, that's fine, they

202
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: didn't really bring an offense. They ultimately acquired Marcana, and

203
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: Marcana is a useful role player. But here's a team

204
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: that I understand what they're doing. They're creating at bats

205
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: and playing time for younger players that they believe will

206
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: be able to contribute at a similar level to other

207
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: guys that might have been out there, But in my opinion,

208
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: they needed more offense. If you were going to do

209
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: it this way, try to win with your rotation, great

210
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: and try to give you opportunities to young players, no problem.

211
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: But you still needed more zip in that lineup and

212
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: they just didn't go get it.

213
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 3: Are you surprised, or maybe I shouldn't say surprised. Do

214
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: you think that far Ha Anxiety is in the hot seat?

215
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: As far as that's concerned. I mean, this is a

216
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: team that they Obviously they tried to get Aaron Judge.

217
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: They did not get Carlos Korea, which turned out to

218
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: be a good thing for them. They didn't make any

219
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: substantial moves at the deadline. Obviously, Blake Snail's a big deal.

220
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: I understand that, But is he on the hot seat?

221
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 2: I thought that the Giants were going to contend this

222
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: year and they're not.

223
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: He is on the hot seat. And they spent a

224
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: ton of money in the offseason, some four hundred million

225
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: dollars in guaranteed contracts to all the players that they signed,

226
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: and the idea was to be a more entertaining team

227
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: and a more competitive team. They're somewhat more entertaining, and

228
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: certainly the loss of the Korean center field or crushed

229
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: them in that regard, But at the same time, they

230
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: still are not there and they're in a competitive division.

231
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: You look at the Diamondbacks as well as the Padres

232
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: and Dodgers. It's a rough go in there. So I

233
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: don't know where they're going with this, and who knows, Alana.

234
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: Maybe they may make the playoffs because they can ride

235
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: the backs of their rotation anxiety safe, but there is

236
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: a lot of discontent in that fan base, a lot

237
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: of people who want to see more out of this team.

238
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: So while he got an extension just recently, yeah, I

239
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: would imagine he is on the hot seat.

240
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 3: I wanted Blake Snail to go to Los Angeles for

241
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: obvious reasons, but there's no way that they would trade

242
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 3: within the division, certainly not to their arch rival.

243
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: We talked about it a little bit.

244
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 3: Ken as my number one loser of the trade deadline

245
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 3: really for twenty twenty four, but my goodness, the White

246
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: Sox are historically bad. Where does this franchise go from here?

247
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. And there was some criticism within the

248
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: industry of the hall that they got at the deadline

249
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: for the three major leaguers they traded in that three

250
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: team deal. Remember they traded Eric Fetti with another year

251
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: of control, Michael Kopek with another year of control, Tommy

252
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: fam expiring contract. You trade those three guys and you

253
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: only get back Miguel Vargas and two prospects that are

254
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: decent but not like top one hundred guys. That's questionable,

255
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of people were questioning that and Alon

256
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: I will say again, as I've said throughout the deadline,

257
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: you never know. It might turn out that the next

258
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: Fertando Tattoos Junior is in this trade and they got them.

259
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: But at the same time, they needed to do better,

260
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: and I almost think they should have separated those guys

261
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: and gotten better value for them that way. The Cardinals

262
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: really wanted Fam, I get it. But at the same time,

263
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: you wonder where they're going because the Dylan cs trade

264
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: that was not well received by the industry either, and

265
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: this one as well. The same kind of thing. Doesn't

266
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: mean they made bad trades. That is not something that

267
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: will be determined for several more years. But they are

268
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: a complete mess. And yeah, they're going to change managers,

269
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: I would imagine either today or the next few days,

270
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: because they want to get someone in there who will

271
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: be better with their younger players as they start to

272
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: promote the prospect Montgomery and some of the others in

273
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: their organization. It is a losing culture. It is a

274
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: losing organization, and obviously they've got some work to do.

275
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 3: You know, I talked to you about the Rockies being

276
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: too loyal at times.

277
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: Is Reinstorf too loyal?

278
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: You can make that case. And I found it really

279
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: interesting that when he let go of rickhon and Kenny Williams,

280
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: the two guys who had been there forever as the

281
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: heads of their front office, he turned to an internal

282
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: choice and Chris Getz, who was their farm director at

283
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: the time. Now, Chris Getz is a really smart guy.

284
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: He's a former player. He may very well turn out

285
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: to be a really good GM. But the way I

286
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: saw it then and even the way I see it

287
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: looking back, you need someone from the outside to come

288
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: in and say, Okay, let's rip this thing up, let's

289
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: bring some fresh ideas in. They didn't want that. Now

290
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: Chris Getz obviously has fresh ideas, but they needed a

291
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: whole injection of new energy, and they didn't get that

292
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: when they made that change. So you could argue that

293
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: Reinsdorf hung on to Kenny Williams and Ricon for too long.

294
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: You can argue he made the wrong choice here, and

295
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: their fans are understandably frustrated by the position this team

296
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: is in. They're a high revenue team, folks, They're in Chicago,

297
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: and yet they're in a complete mess right now.

298
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Chicago Baseball and generalisms, and I think the fan base.

299
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: Ken could argue that Chris Getz is trading away guys

300
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: that he failed to develop when he was the farm

301
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: director for this team. All right, Moving on a little

302
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: bit to something that we're all positive about, Viewory. Of course,

Speaker 3: and Ken as we get into some of the questions

320
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: here for Ken Rosenthal on this Monday episode of Fair Territory,

321
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: Ken and Alana, do you think Clay Holmes can be

322
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 3: an effective postseason closer for the Yankees? If not him,

323
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: who would be best?

324
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: Again?

325
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: They added two relievers, but they are both right handed,

326
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: swing and miss guys to the back end of that bullpen.

327
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,239
Speaker 3: What is your take on Clay Holmes.

328
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: I don't think they have a choice. Clay Holmes is

329
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: their closer and they didn't go out and get Tanner Scott.

330
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: So Clay Holmes, while he has struggled of late, has

331
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: been really good over the last couple of years. They

332
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: just need to get him right. It's almost like with

333
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: Evan Phillips in Los Angeles with the Dodgers. Evan Phillips

334
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: has been really good for a while. Now now he's

335
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: struggling at the moment. Not to say that he can't

336
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: come back and be what he was before. And it's

337
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: the same with Clay Holmes.

338
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: All right.

339
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 3: There's another question here regarding the Arizona Diamondbacks from Sprucey

340
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: Underscore eleven level of concern for Snakes fans with Sea

341
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: Walk Christian Walker landing on the il.

342
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: Legit concern and high concern because it's an oblique and

343
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: obliques can be tricky. This was reported to be the

344
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: mildest form, but I don't buy any of that until

345
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: he's back. He's not ready, and we'll see where this

346
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: goes because obliques, again, they sometimes take longer than people think.

347
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: It's not that easy. I will say the Diamondbacks did

348
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: really well to react quickly and get Josh Bell from

349
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: the Marlins as a temporary replacement for Christian Walker. Christian

350
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: Walker means an awful lot to that team. He's a

351
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: huge part of their offense, the defense too. He's a

352
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: great defender. So this is a blow and let's just

353
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: hope he gets back soon.

354
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question about it. He is a huge part

355
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: of that team.

356
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: Joe Mama has this question for you, Ken, Hey, Ken,

357
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: I wonder which one is your pick, old school baseball

358
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: without analytics or baseball with analytics. Also, have you ever

359
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 3: been thrown out of a game asking for a friend?

360
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: Baseball with analytics is the preference, And that's kind of

361
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: a weird choice. We're not going back to old baseball

362
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: without analytics. It's not happening. We've advanced as a sport,

363
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: we've advanced as a society, all these things. We have,

364
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: all this information. We can use it now. There is

365
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: a legitimate question about the balance, and some teams go

366
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: too far with the analytics. Some teams don't pay enough attention,

367
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: perhaps to the human element. I believe. Actually it's changing

368
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: and it's getting to a better place as far as

369
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: the mix. Teams are paying more attention to make up

370
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: and things like that. But it's not like one or

371
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: the other. You can't look at it that way. It's gone.

372
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: The horse has left the barn. As for whether I've

373
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: been ever thrown out of a game, no, the answer

374
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 1: is no.

375
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 3: I can't imagine you being thrown out of anything like

376
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 3: I just I don't.

377
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't.

378
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 2: I don't see you ever being to the point where.

379
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: Well in college. In college, I go to an arcade

380
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: back where people played pinball and I and they throw

381
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: me out of the arcade. That did happen?

382
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: You're such a bad boy, Ken Rosenthal. Oh goodness, all right.

383
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: You had mentioned that you thought the Angels could do more.

384
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 3: Eric's vhsays the same question. Were the Angels asking too

385
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 3: much for Taylor Ward, Rin Pifo and Tyler Anderson.

386
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that, and more information

387
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: perhaps on that will come in the days ahead. I

388
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: will say this, while I didn't like it, and I

389
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: thought the Angels should have taken advantage of a seller's market,

390
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: they can still revisit this in the off season. Each

391
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: of those guys has an additional year of control. Taylor

392
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: Ward has two years of control beyond this year, and

393
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: once the off season comes and the free agent market

394
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: starts to percolate and the prices are high, then perhaps

395
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: a guy like Nhifo in particular will look that much

396
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: more attractive to teams. That said, the overarching question with

397
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: the Angels always is what is the plan? Where are

398
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: we going with this? Are we tearing down? Are we

399
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: going forward? Are we building up? If you're building up, oh,

400
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: that's questionable in the first place because Trout and Rendon

401
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: are always injured. And also it's questionable because Addie Moreno

402
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: isn't going to spend the necessary money. So if you're

403
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: not building up and you're not tearing down, you're caught

404
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: in the middle, which is where they are. And it's

405
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: a baseball purgatory.

406
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a terrible place to be. And I tell

407
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: you what, I don't know.

408
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 3: But Anthony Rendon I'm fed up with and I shouldn't

409
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 3: be like. I mean, maybe he's legitimately hurt all the time,

410
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: but my god, the man does not play ever.

411
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: All Right, Alana, I.

412
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: Love Mike Trout, but you can say the same thing

413
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: you'rebout Mike Trout.

414
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: I agree. I agree.

415
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 3: There's just a difference in personality though, I think that's

416
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 3: what gets me the most.

417
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 2: Sorry, So this is a This is from Jay.

418
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: Sorry if I missed the answer to this, you didn't, Jake,

419
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 3: because we haven't addressed it. Why would Mike Rizzo hold

420
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: on to Kyle Finnegan when it seemed like he was

421
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: a good time to sell relievers?

422
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: All right? That one, apparently is because there weren't offers

423
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: that Rizzo found acceptable. He made really good deals for

424
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: Lane Thomas for one and Hunter Harvey for another, and

425
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: both of those guys had an extra year of control

426
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: like Kyle Finnegan. So at that point I thought he

427
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: would trade Finnegan too, but evidently nothing lined up at

428
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: the end. And again, Finnegan's a guy you can trade

429
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 1: in the off season if you want. He'll be very valuable,

430
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: then not as valuable because it will be one Pennant

431
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: race he'll be available for instead of two. But it's

432
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: not like it's over for them with Finnegan.

433
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're totally a rebuilding as well there

434
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 3: in Washington. How about this with the Atlanta Braves. What

435
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 3: do you think about the future decision the Braves will

436
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 3: have to make.

437
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 2: With the Solai trade two DH guys.

438
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: With him Ozuna and Acunya possibly needing some DH time.

439
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: That question from Elon, very good question, and the question

440
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: I had my own head myself, because Soleira's going to

441
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: play the outfield. He is playing the outfield for them.

442
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: He's not an outfielder. He was a DH the entire

443
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: time in San Francisco and really for quite some time

444
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 1: in his career. So they're in this kind of funny

445
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: place with that right now, I would not be surprised

446
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: to see Solra on the move again at some point,

447
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: not this season, but maybe in the off season, because

448
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: I don't know that this is particularly tenable to have

449
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: both those guys and only one DH.

450
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 3: What do you think is harder going from DH to

451
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 3: an outfielder like Solaargis did, or going from an outfielder

452
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 3: to third base like Jazz Chisholm just did.

453
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: I would think what Chisholm has done in the middle

454
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: of a pennant race when he's never played in nine

455
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: professional seasons that position, that is really difficult. And again

456
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: I'm not all down with this one. I'm kind of

457
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: fearful that it's not going to go as well as

458
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: the Yankees think, though it certainly is off to a

459
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: good start. Hard to question, and he's a great athlete,

460
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: so you would think he could pick it up. So

461
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: there is a different kind of challenge because he's not

462
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: as athletic and now he has to go play the outfield.

463
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: But he can do it. He's done it in his past,

464
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: So I would say Chisholm playing a new position for

465
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: the first time in nine professional seasons in the middle

466
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: of a preennant race. That's pretty hard. Well.

467
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 3: It also helped if their second baseman decided that he

468
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 3: would change position for the betterment of the team.

469
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: But Labor right, hold on, hold on.

470
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: But the thing with that, Alana is it's his free

471
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: agent year, and that's a tough ask of Glaber Torres.

472
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: I know we all think these guys should do whatever

473
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: the team asks, but he's had enough difficulties this year,

474
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: and I think next year what will happen is Glabor

475
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: goes and Jazz goes back to second base.

476
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you. I don't think Labor Torus

477
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 3: is the Yankee next year.

478
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: Of course.

479
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 3: All right, this one on the Oakland Athletics. Were you

480
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 3: surprised Oakland didn't take an advantage of a seller's market,

481
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: could have gotten hauls for sears, bledet Rooker and Miller.

482
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: Was not surprised, only because they were signaling this for

483
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: the weeks leading to the deadline. They were basically saying, hey,

484
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: we are making progress here, and let's not forget the

485
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: A's had the best record in baseball in July. It's

486
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: no joke. They actually did. I think it was fifteen

487
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: and eight. So their position is we're tired of losing.

488
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: We're tired of giving players up and just getting prospects

489
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: when we're making progress here of de Marcotte. The players

490
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: want to win, Kotsee wants to win, the front office

491
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: wants to win, and hey, we're going to go forward. Now.

492
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: I understand that thinking, and I applauded and I appreciate

493
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: it greatly. The problem is Mason Miller. In this market,

494
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: he is still a reliever. He is a guy that

495
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: you don't know is going to be great for the

496
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: next five years because relievers are so volidle and he's

497
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: got an injury history. Now I know he heard his

498
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: pinky on his glove hand and he's out for a

499
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: little bit, but you still could have traded him. Players

500
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: on the injured list did get traded, and that was

501
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: the one guy. I thought, you know what, take advantage

502
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: of this, see what you can get, and they probably

503
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: would have done quite well. So they didn't do that.

504
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: I kind of like it in a lot of ways

505
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: because it's not giving up. But at the same time,

506
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: in terms of pure market forces, the time was probably

507
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: right to trade Mason Miller, and they didn't do it.

508
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 3: I love Mark Kotse saying, in this organization, we tell

509
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 3: the truth. He didn't break it getting on a training table.

510
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 3: He punched something because it was upset and.

511
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 2: He broke it.

512
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 3: What's a harder job, in your opinion, or the least

513
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 3: entice job being the manager of the Miami Marlins or

514
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 3: being the manager of the Oakland Athletics.

515
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: Difficult to say, because they're both brutal jobs. I would

516
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: say right now, I'd rather be Kostsee. And you mentioned

517
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: Skip Schumacher likely leaving at the end of this season.

518
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: I expect he will leave because, you know what, the Marlins,

519
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: it's going to take longer the way they're going about it.

520
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: They're not going to spend money this offseason. They don't

521
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: do that. The A's, well, I don't expect them to

522
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: spend money either, but they're going to Sacramento and in

523
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: theory they're supposed to be ramping up to Las Vegas

524
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: at some point. Believe it when you see it. But

525
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: the A's kind of have some things going well now.

526
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: Their offense is much improved. They look much more like

527
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: a real team. They've got to get their rotation somewhat

528
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: in a better place, and maybe they'll spend money on

529
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: that this offseason, But I guess I'd rather be the

530
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: A's manager, even though I'm going to Sacramento.

531
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 2: All right, this is regarding the Pirates.

532
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 3: Justin Mackenzie wants to know, do you think the Pirates

533
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: trades of this deadline consider them going for it or

534
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 3: still reserving themselves?

535
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: They went after it a little bit.

536
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: By their definition, they definitely went after it. Now. I

537
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: wrote about them a little bit in my recent column.

538
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: I said the Pirates essentially did Pirates things. They were

539
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: smaller moves on the margins. I liked ikf. That was

540
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: a good trade for them, a good addition for sure,

541
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: But they didn't go bigger. Now, it's hard to fault them,

542
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: and it's hard to fault the Brewers and the Guardians

543
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: and the Orioles, three other teams, lower revenue positions that

544
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: didn't really go crazy because the quality of player just

545
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: wasn't there. So if you're going to rip the Pirates

546
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: or any of those other teams I just mentioned, tell

547
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 1: me what should they have done? Which players should they

548
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: have gotten? Should they have gotten in the Pirates case

549
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: of Rosarina, Okay, maybe you can make that case, but

550
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: the prices were high for these guys, and the Pirates

551
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: are our team that has gotten to this point with

552
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: young talent and believe that they can do it going

553
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: forward with young talent. So I'm not gonna fault them

554
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: too much. But at some point, you've got Paul Skins,

555
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: you will have Jared Jones healthy. I'm talking about going

556
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: into twenty five. It's time for them to start acting

557
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: like a team. That's good because when you've got Skins,

558
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: you've got a weapon that who knows how long it

559
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: will last at the max, it's probably six years right

560
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: before it becomes a free agent. You have to seize

561
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: the moment.

562
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can only ride that. We're looking towards the

563
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 3: future train for so long time. Now to get into

564
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 3: Dude and dork of the week, this is where Ken

565
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: and I have an opportunity to praise a guy and

566
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 3: also kind of, uh, not really rip a guy, but

567
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: have a you know, kind of a scratching our head moment.

568
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: So who is your dude of the week?

569
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: Mentioned him earlier and I am proud to say my

570
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: dude of the week is Tommy fam And last year,

571
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: right after the deadline, the Mets people told me this

572
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: guy is a big loss for us. He was a

573
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: huge part of helping make our players better and Francisco

574
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: Lindora confirm that. For me this deadline, Tommy Fam was

575
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: a player that Cardinals players were going into Ali Marmele's

576
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: office and asking him to have the team acquire They

577
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,959
Speaker 1: wanted this guy back. Remember he started with the Cardinals,

578
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: didn't then great the first time. He is a competitor

579
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: and we saw in his first at bat with the

580
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals what he is capable of grand slam. I know

581
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: people perceive him as kind of a tough guy, you know,

582
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: the whole thing with the slap and everything else that

583
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: he's gone through in his career. He burns, burns to win,

584
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: and that's why the Cardinals wanted him. And good for

585
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: Tommy Fam getting back there, making a team admit that

586
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: they made a mistake, and of course doing what he

587
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: did in his first at bat.

588
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 3: All right, I'm with you there on Tommy Fam. I'm

589
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 3: gonna pick Bobby witt Junior Ken Nobody has had a

590
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 3: season like or a month rather that Bobby wit Junior

591
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 3: has as far as July was concerned, except for Lou Garrig.

592
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 3: If you take a look at what wit did. He

593
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 3: had forty five hits in a four to eighty nine

594
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: batting average. The last Big leaguer with at least that

595
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 3: many hits and that high of a batting average in

596
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: a calendar month Lou Garrig in June of nineteen thirty.

597
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 3: He had fifty five hits and a four ninety five

598
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 3: batting average. Bobby Wood Junior has just been such a

599
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 3: tremendous lift for the Kansas City Royals. They were smart

600
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 3: to lock him up long term. He's just a pleasure

601
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 3: to watch, so he is.

602
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: My dude of the week. Good on you.

603
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 3: I'd love to see Kansas City in the postseason. I'd

604
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 3: love to see this kid be able to take some

605
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 3: postseason at bats. What about your dork of the week?

606
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: My dork of the week actually is a building. It's

607
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: a building that has drawn much scorn in Major League Baseball.

608
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,959
Speaker 1: It's a building we will not be seeing much of

609
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: beyond the near future. And I'm talking, of course, about

610
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: Tropicana Field. Lost in the deadline madness was the fact

611
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: that a new ballpark for the Rays finally got all

612
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: the approval it needed. It will open in twenty twenty eight,

613
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: and the trop will be no more. This will be

614
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: a roof stadium, a retractable roof, And I'm really looking

615
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: forward to seeing baseball continue in Tampa Bay and seeing

616
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: if it can pick up a little bit in Tampa

617
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,959
Speaker 1: Bay with a new ballpark. And good for the Rays.

618
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: They worked really hard to get this done. The Trap

619
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: is my dork of the week.

620
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: All right, Zach Eflin was pretty psyched about pitching in

621
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: front of Orioles fans, So the atmosphere is a little

622
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: bit different at Camden Yards than it was at the Trap.

623
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 3: My dork of the week is all of the jerks

624
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 3: on social media that think that they're keyboard warriors that

625
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: think it is okay and appropriate to give players death

626
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 3: threats and threaten their family because a player isn't performing

627
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: to the level that you think they should be performing at.

628
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: Mitch Garver said, this is by far the worst I've

629
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: ever played in my career. It's tough on myself, tough

630
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 3: on my family. The death threats and the retire and

631
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 3: you suck and expletive kill yourself and all of that

632
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 3: stuff is getting old. But the only way it changes

633
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 3: is to play better. This is unacceptable behavior. These people

634
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 3: are players. But before they are players, They are people

635
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: first that they have families. Do you think that they

636
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: want to play poorly? Do you think that they not

637
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 3: want to throw strikes, or they don't want to get hits,

638
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 3: or they want to make mistakes? Be better, Be better,

639
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 3: and stop with the nonsense of death threats.

640
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: To players. It's ridiculous.

641
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: Agreed one thousand percent. And I should say also, Mitch

642
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: Garver is one of the more level headed guys in

643
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: the game, so for him to say that, obviously he

644
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: feels like there have been some things said that just

645
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: were inappropriate.

646
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 3: And honestly, it really affects the families. I have countless

647
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: wives of players that have really been affected by this.

648
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 3: When you start to threaten players' families and particularly their children,

649
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: that that's a line that should never be crossed. And

650
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 3: and MLB security does get involved in these types of situations,

651
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: and it's not just for players, it's you and I too. Ken,

652
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 3: this has happened to us, at least I can speak

653
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 3: for myself. It's happened to me, So just just be back. Yeah,

654
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 3: I'm certain that it has all right. We are going

655
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 3: to say goodbye. Ken is actually going to a an

656
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,360
