1
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: How are we doing? Everybody? Hello, Hello, Hello, Hey y'all

2
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: doing man, nothing really too much going on lately. You know,

3
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: I'm pretty quiet here in the news. I'm just kidding.

4
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Obviously, big shocker of a move today.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm still processing it, to be honest with you, I'm

6
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: still trying to find the words. Right, I click go live,

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: and I still don't even know kind of what to say.

8
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: To be honest with this whole thing. I processed it

9
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more, you know, with me, I always

10
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: try to take things down the middle, right, I always

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: try to look at both angles. There's a lot of

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 1: different angles with this entire trade, right, Raffie Deever's going

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: to the Giants in case you did miss it, right,

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: Happy Father's Day, everybody. I hope you all had a

15
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: good Father's Day. Up to this point, I think all

16
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: Red Sox fans across the land are thinking what the

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: heck just happened? Right? Based off of what I've seen

18
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: on Twitter land, the reactions that I'm seeing seems more

19
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: negative than at all. Rightfully, so right, I mean, obviously,

20
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: you're trading away one of your best players. You're trading

21
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: away a guy that's been with the franchise now for

22
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: so long. You'll win a World Series in twenty eighteen,

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, you're trading away the key part of your lineup.

24
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to see the positives with that,

25
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: but that's where you kind of have to unpeel some

26
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: layers with this entire thing. You got to go back

27
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: a little ways. And you know, I've talked about this

28
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: when this whole thing with Raffi in First Base was

29
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: going on. We dove a lot into just all the

30
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: layers with that, and I'm thinking, you know what, I

31
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: think this goes back a little ways, right. I think

32
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: you could even go back as far as, you know,

33
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: even maybe where it started to grow a little bit

34
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: when they traded away Mookie Bets, right and I didn't

35
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: bring back Xander Bogarts. I think you can even go

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: that far right where maybe some seeds, little tiny seeds

37
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: were planted at that point. And then you know, you

38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: go a little further and you think about how the

39
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: Red Sox. You know, they gave Raffi the extension, right,

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: and I just brought up the you know, the Mookie

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: bet Xander thing. People might be asking, well, well, why

42
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: would he have signed the extension, then if if he

43
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: was upset about that, well, no, I'm not saying that

44
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: was anything that ended up being a catastrophic thing for him,

45
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: but you know, it was probably a little something that

46
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: he didn't like very much. But then he got the extension.

47
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: Things are great. Guy's a three hundred million dollar man.

48
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, let's move forward with this.

49
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: But then you see the Red Sox where you know,

50
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: they're wanting him to kind of be out more in

51
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: the public eye, right, you know, talking to the media more,

52
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, doing more opportunities, you know, you know whatever

53
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: in the city of Boston, right. A guy that's never

54
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: really been into that, you know too much, a guy

55
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: that just wanted to come to Fenway Park and play

56
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: some baseball, you know, And I respect that, but from

57
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: the Red Sox point of view, that seemed to be

58
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: a thing that they were battling with a bit of

59
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: a tug of war with Raffi over the last several years.

60
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: And then you come in not even spring training, let's

61
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: even go back a little further. You go into the

62
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: off season. You're hearing the rumblings, right, the Red Sox

63
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman coming up right, well, people were thinking at

64
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: the time, well, no second base, right, you can play

65
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: second base. But then Christian Campbell started to gain some

66
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: noise within the media, within the front office. People high

67
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: on him, right, a guy that could you know, be

68
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: your opening day second baseman possibly, And then you bring

69
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: in Alex Bregman. But even then, before that, you know,

70
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: you had Nolan Arnatto coming up in the news, and

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, how does Raffi not know about any of this? Right?

72
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: He has to see something out there, right, So obviously

73
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: with all that, you know, you start to get, you know,

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: the snowball starts to tumble a little bit more. You

75
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: go into spring training, Well, Bregman's not taking any reps

76
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: at second base, this guy's taking reps at third base.

77
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: Raffi's thinking, what's going on here? And then they sit

78
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: Raffi down, say, hey, you know what we want you

79
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: to be the DH you know something where you know,

80
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure of you talked about that with him this

81
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: past offseason, you know, like the Yankees do with Aaron Judge,

82
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: like the Phillies do with Bryce Harper, like a lot

83
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 1: of teams do you know, with their highest paid player,

84
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: and you know, you have these conversations, and you know,

85
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: you think maybe from Raffi's point of view, maybe he

86
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: just would have liked to have had a conversation about everything. Right.

87
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: Eventually he warmed up to d Ag she came around

88
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: to it, and then Tristan Cassis went down, went down

89
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: with a season ending injury, and this is where everything

90
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: started to pretty much, you know now looking back at

91
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: their you know, looking at the reports coming out, there's

92
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: only gonna be more reports that come out, ladies and gentlemen.

93
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: It's only gonna keep going. That's how it always has

94
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: been in Boston. You go back to theo Epstein, you

95
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: go back, you know, even hein Bloom just recently, you know,

96
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: Manny Ramirez getting traded away, Nomar getting traded. This always happens.

97
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: You're gonna see more reports coming out. I promise you

98
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: that you're gonna start seeing other people say, oh well, hey,

99
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: I got some people you know, within the organization that

100
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: have told me this and whatever. You're gonna see more reports.

101
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: But then first Base happened. Craig Breslo says, hey, I

102
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: want to I want you to move to first base.

103
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: You know, can you move to first base for us?

104
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: You know, we need an answer there. Raffi said, hey,

105
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm already settled into d H right now.

106
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm already you know, in my routine. You know, I've

107
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: been this whole tug of war thing. You're pulling me

108
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: all all these different directions. I don't want to play

109
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: first base, right And you can look at it from

110
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: Raffi's point of view, thinking, well, okay, you know what

111
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: he feels like this organization that he's not being communicated with.

112
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: He already got used to a new spot in the lineup,

113
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, his new role as a DH. And you

114
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: know now he's thinking, all right, well, now I got

115
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: to learn a new position on the fly. You know,

116
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: granted I think it would have it's not the worst

117
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: transition going from third to first. Yeah, I would have

118
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: taken some time. But still he wasn't comfortable with it.

119
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: He didn't like it. Then you see John Henry coming out.

120
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: Let me share the screen here if you're live with

121
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: me on YouTube. But then you see John Henry flying

122
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: out to Kansas City, and that's where things really started

123
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: to heat up, right, and you're thinking, oh, man, you know, listen,

124
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: John Henry, that man is you know, he's either hanging out,

125
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, in England watching some Liverpool, or he's at

126
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: wherever he lives, you know, whatever kind of a villa.

127
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: This guy lives at, nice little mansion somewhere and his

128
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: silk pajamas. You know, John Henry's not flying out of

129
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City, you know, to do something like that unless

130
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: it's actually like something and funny enough. We actually got

131
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: a little something here from Mike Rodriguez. I actually got

132
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: a lot of things here from different people, different reactions,

133
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: so I'll pull those up in a little bit. But

134
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: then you know, that meeting happened. You didn't really hear

135
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: anything coming out of this meeting, right, not any any

136
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: quotes or anything. No one's saying anything about it. But

137
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: it seemed to kind of just go away because Raffi

138
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: started hitting great. This guy was red hot in the

139
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: month of May. It seemed like whatever happened, maybe things

140
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: moved over. Right, He's at d H. The Red Sox

141
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: will figure out something different and then, you know, and

142
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: especially lately, the Red Sox are winning games. They just

143
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: swept the Yankees. They took two out of three in

144
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: the Bronx last weekend. Two had a three against the

145
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: rays Oft Famway Park. Things are looking great, things are

146
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: looking up, and then and then you get this today

147
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, what the heck hap happened here? Well,

148
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: Robert Murray, just to give credit here, I already to

149
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: go live with this on my main channel if you

150
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: want to go watch that whole reaction. It took me

151
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: a little while to really process everything. My goodness, still

152
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: shocking to me. I also came out with a separate

153
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: video on the channel, more of a quicker rundown, if

154
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: you want to go watch that as well, But just

155
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: giving credit where it's due, Robert Murray. The Giants are

156
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: acquiring Raffie Devers from the Boston Red Sox or Jordan Hicks,

157
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Harrison, James Tibbs, and Jose Bao. Robert Murray was

158
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: first on it listen and Robert Murray very trusted source.

159
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: I love everything he does. But when I first saw

160
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: the tweet, I actually thought like, a is this a

161
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: parody account? Did this guy get hacked? Or because usually

162
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: with something major like that, you see Jeff Passon or

163
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: Kem Rosenthal or you know even you know John Haymon

164
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: with the Boris Clients. Right, good for Robert Murray forgetting

165
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: this one. So then we're thinking, like, what in the

166
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: world is going on right now? Right? And I mean

167
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: the reactions have been just very negative, very negative. Jared

168
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: is having a field day on Twitter, mister Jared Carrobas

169
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: of Section ten saying here he effing hates it. Here

170
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: he put out a five minute video basically just tearing

171
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: into it. He goes on to say, no team makes

172
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: it harder to root for them than the Red Sox.

173
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: He went on MLB Network he gave it a thumbs down.

174
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: He said, here, I know it's the Red Sox really

175
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: said to themselves. I know it's been five years and

176
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: everyone already hates us for it and thinks we're complete idiots.

177
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: But how about we make the mookie Bets trade look

178
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: even worse. I got it. Let's trade Raffie Devers a

179
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: year and a half into his ten year deal. Then

180
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: he went on to say, here, this one gave me

181
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: a chuckle. The Red Sox are so effing stupid. I

182
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: don't blame anyone who says they're done with this stupid franchise.

183
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: This is a family friendly show. I don't curse on

184
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: here everybody. And then he says here. If you think

185
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: this is bad, just wait until the Red Sox let

186
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman opt out and go to another team. I'll

187
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: get to my thoughts on that in just a little bit.

188
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: He had a field day here. He's still cooking up

189
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: probably some other tweets. In fact, yes, he actually just

190
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: put something five minutes ago. He said here. The craziest

191
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: part is that Abraham Toro romy Gonzalez have been awesome

192
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: over at first base. So the Red Sox basically just

193
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: said f you to Raffi because their egos got hurt

194
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: when he told them. No, they didn't. He didn't play

195
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: first anymore, still traded him anyway. So yeah, Jared is

196
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 1: not happy. Chris Catillo, he chimed into this separate on

197
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: a separate tweet, you said here. A source with knowledge

198
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: of the Red Sox Raffie Devers relationship described it as unsalvageable, sorry,

199
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: unsalvageable situation for both parties. Devers was frustrated with mixed

200
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: messaging from different voices in the organization, felt like a scapegoat,

201
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: the route was the player felt was disorganized communication from

202
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: the jump. He goes on to say it never got

203
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: to the point where he demanded a trade. That doesn't

204
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: mean he didn't welcome one. Conversations took place over months.

205
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking as well in my initial reaction.

206
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: There's no way someone just picks up the phone and

207
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: this happens. That's where I think. I think back to

208
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: this meeting with John Henry, and this is where I

209
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: think it probably started. I think probably. Well, actually, Mike

210
00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: Rodriguez he chimed into this. I'm not sure if this

211
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: was the meeting with John Henry, but he did put this.

212
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: According to my sources, the last conversation between Raffi and

213
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: Red Sox management went like this. He expressed his love

214
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: for the city and his desire to stay, but feeling unappreciated,

215
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: he asked them that if they did not want him,

216
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: to kindly trade him, as he does not wish to

217
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: be in a place where he is not valued. So

218
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: Jeff Passon, he put here, Raffi to San Francisco has

219
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: executives across baseball confounded. On one hand, the Red Sox

220
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: got out from a deal every model in baseball has underwater,

221
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: which what that means is because he's a DH he

222
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: has lost a lot of positional value. Dhs have negative

223
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: positional value because they're only bringing you value with the

224
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: bad they're not bringing anything to the field, and he's

225
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: making more money than his projected field value over the

226
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: course of the contract. So that's why his contract was underwater.

227
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: So saying here, some executives think because the contract was

228
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: underwater and they got talent back, a lot of people,

229
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: a lot of executives out there think it's a win.

230
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: On the other a team with talent and momentum just

231
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: traded its best hitter. Craig Breslo made a deal he

232
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: knew would be very unpopular because the math said it

233
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: was a very good one for Boston. That's kind of

234
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: where I'm thinking. That's kind of where I'm at. I'm

235
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: at this weird, awkward spot because you all know me.

236
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: I like to look at things down the middle. I

237
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: like to look at things both from you know, an

238
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: emotional point of view, but I also look I like

239
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: to look at things from an analytical point of view.

240
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: I will say this on paper, if you're factoring in money,

241
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: if you're factoring in the fact the talent you got back. Look, granted,

242
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like you're getting you know, multiple

243
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: top one hundred prospects here. But when you're looking at

244
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: it from a money point of view, from a years

245
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 1: of cost control point of view, with the players that

246
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: the Red Sox got back, mathematically, this is a win

247
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox. I know a lot of people

248
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: are gonna think I'm a homer for saying that. I

249
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: know that that's okay. Mathematically though, financially years of control

250
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: and obviously these players at the Red Sox got back.

251
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean you're barely paying them. Who knows if they

252
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: can end up getting a lot out of them. Well,

253
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks, you are gonna be paying as well. But

254
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Kyle Harrison, James Tibbs. I'll get to

255
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: those guys in a second. But when you're factoring in

256
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: all those things, no, I'm not looking at it from

257
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: just you know, what their ratings are on MLB the show.

258
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm looking at here. Financially, mathematically, this

259
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: is a win for the Red Sox. But does this

260
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: make the Red Sox a worse team? Well, yes, of

261
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: course it does. I mean, how's that even arguable? Of

262
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: course it does. The Red Sox lineup just got weaker.

263
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking here on fangrafts and they got David freaking

264
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: Hamilton as the d H. Well, of course this team

265
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: is weaker. Of course they got worse. Right Financially, sure

266
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: they got better here. From a cost control point of

267
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: view of young talent, sure they got better here. But

268
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: their offense just got substantially weaker. And that's tough. That's

269
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to fix, especially in the near future.

270
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what to expect from this offense moving forward.

271
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: I really don't. However, I'm someone where I like to

272
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: look at things with the glass half full. I think

273
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: there could be some positives that come out of this,

274
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: and I wonder if the Red Sox, at least down

275
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: the road, could end up being a better team out

276
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: of this. I know that might be an unpopular opinion.

277
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: I know that, and that's okay, but I do wonder

278
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: if that is what it could end up being. Now.

279
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: Just my overall reaction on just Raffi himself, it stinks

280
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: losing a player like that. Man, I've really enjoyed Raffi

281
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: over the years. He's come up with just some clutch bombs,

282
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: great moments, all the ice cream, the scoops, I love it.

283
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: I love it. I've loved what Raffi is brought to

284
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: this team. I've loved the you know that just that

285
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: relationship that he's had with David Ortiz. I was really

286
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing Raffi as that next David Ortiz

287
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: for years to come. I really was. I really liked

288
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: the bat that he brought, obviously, you know, one of

289
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: the better bats that we've seen in the history of

290
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: the organization. It's tough to lose that, man, it really is.

291
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: You know, I've been a Red Sox fan for how

292
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: long now, you know, it's not very often you get

293
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: a bat like that. You know, you put him up

294
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: in that tier of you know, some of the best

295
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: players that they've had, right, David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Mookie Bets,

296
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: Xander Bogart's many many over the years. Man, it stinks,

297
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: stinks losing him. But I do wonder about the possibilities

298
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: that this could open up. And that's where I look

299
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: at Roman Anthony. Now, for sure, this guy is absolutely

300
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: going to be getting his name penciled into this lineup

301
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: as much as possible. Uh because WILLI or Bray, you

302
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's going to be coming back here soon too.

303
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: But now that opens up the d H spot. That's

304
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: where if Raffi would have moved to first, that would

305
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: have cleared up a lot of this where you still

306
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: you could have had Raffi at first. I've mentioned that

307
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: at nauseum right, obviously he didn't want to go there.

308
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: I will say this, I'm gonna laugh if he ends

309
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: up playing first base to the Giants, I would not

310
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: completely write that off. I would not be surprised if

311
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: that ends up happening. They did bringing Dom Smith recently

312
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: after dfang Lamontwaye Junior. I wouldn't be surprised if he

313
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: ended up playing some first at some point. If not

314
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: this year, maybe next year. We'll see. But for right now,

315
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: with William coming back here soon from an oblique strain,

316
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 1: didn't look like it was too bad. But now I

317
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: also wonder here too, I wonder if the Red Sox.

318
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna say this a little bit of

319
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: tinfoil hat thinking here right Chris Catillo is saying that,

320
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: you know this has been talked about for a while.

321
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: Now have you all noticed this that Masataka Yoshida, he's

322
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: been taking abs lately. Broman Anthony got called up right

323
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: when it felt like, you know, you didn't really I

324
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: don't know, like I mean, based off of how they

325
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: were with Roman over, you know, taking so long to

326
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: call him up, all these theories about well maybe they

327
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: don't want to call him up because they don't want

328
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: him winning Rookie of the Year and getting a service

329
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: getting a year of service time, or you know, all

330
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: the Super two arbitration stuff, right, you know, did they

331
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: need to call Roman up? I mean, I think you

332
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: still could have waited here, but they still did. And

333
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: Willier and all of a sudden, Guys with oblique strains, right,

334
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: guys with oblique strains, they tend to need a little

335
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: bit more time. That takes a little while to come

336
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: back from. But Willier is, all of a sudden, he's

337
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: feeling good, He's feeling all right. I don't know, I

338
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: find that interesting. I wonder if maybe this this deal,

339
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: this exact one, has been in the works here for

340
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: a little bit, and maybe they just kind of put

341
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: Willier on that il right, just to get Roman up here,

342
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: get him worked in a little bit. They know Willier

343
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: was going to be coming back, because we were all asking, well,

344
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with Roman when he comes back, is

345
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: to go back down to triple A. So I wonder

346
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: if maybe this has been in the works here for

347
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I wonder if maybe Roman coming

348
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: up maybe had a little something to do with that.

349
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: But then I'm also looking right here at the man

350
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: that's been taking all the pictures, a man that's been

351
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: taken every single snapshot that he can have every mountain

352
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: out there, of every waterfall out there, of every grand

353
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: canyon or whatever it may be out there. I wonder

354
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: if this opens up something for Masataki Yoshida, who I

355
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: said has been taken some swings lately, all of a

356
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: sudden the shoulder is starting to feel a little bit better.

357
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: Does this open up something for him? Well, if you

358
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: put Massa at d H, well then you're still going

359
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: to have a bit of an issue right with the outfield.

360
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: You know, Roman will your you know what happens there.

361
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: I will say this, if Masa is the plan for

362
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: d H, could there still be another trade. I'm still

363
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: gonna say this, ladies and gentlemen, I am not thinking here.

364
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: I don't think the Red Sox are done, or at

365
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: least I'm not gonna get that out of my mind

366
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: just yet. I wonder if there could be another move, right,

367
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: because if they bring Massa back, if Yoshidah is coming

368
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: back to d h because then you still have a

369
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: bit of an issue here because your outfield's full with Duran, Sayadan,

370
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: will youer, well, you know where's Romean? Right? Does he

371
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: go back down? So again, this depends on what happens

372
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: with Yoshida. That's if he's not if he's not coming back,

373
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: if the Red Sox end up just cutting ties moving

374
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: him in a deal, no, it doesn't matter. We will

375
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: see what ends up happening there. Now, I'll say this

376
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: when it comes to the lineup, No, you're not gonna

377
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: be able to replace Rafi with one guy. No, Massa

378
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: Takia Yoshida is not going to be able to replace

379
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: Raffi Devers, absolutely not. You're insane if you think that. However,

380
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: maybe you could do it with a couple of guys. Right,

381
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: That's where I'll say this. I'll point this out. What

382
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: is one thing the Red Sox have been bad at

383
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: this year? The strikeouts? Right, let's take a little LOOKSI

384
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: at some numbers here. Well, with Massa Takia Yoshida, he

385
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: only struck out twelve percent of the time. Last year,

386
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony granted triple A still though only struck out

387
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: twenty two percent of the time. Will you or bray you?

388
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: This year he has gotten the strikeouts down, He's improved

389
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: the plate discipline a little bit. There is still some

390
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: swing and miss with him, but twenty three percent strikeout rate.

391
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: If they were to move will your and then they

392
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: simply replace will Your with Roman out in the outfield,

393
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: and then Massa is at d H, well, then all

394
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden you've really cut down on some strikeouts

395
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: right there, right and uh, and especially with Roman, a

396
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: guy that's uh, he's got some very good plate discipline, right. So,

397
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: sure you'll be losing Raffi, but if that was the

398
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: route you go, you could see a little bit better

399
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: plate discipline within the line. I mean, know Raffi was

400
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: disciplined as well. I'm not saying he wasn't, but looking

401
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: at you know, maybe you could look at it, you

402
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: know a bit of a bright spot right there. I'm

403
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: also looking here too. Now that the Red Sox have

404
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: cleared the contract of Raffi Devers, well what does this

405
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 1: mean for Alex Bregman. Alex Bregman's basically on a one

406
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: year deal. He's got an opt out after this year.

407
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, tinfoil hat thinking here a little bit,

408
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: I wonder if the Red Sox again, you can, you know,

409
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: whatever you think of you know, how the Red Sox

410
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: have kind of handled this whole thing. I think there's

411
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: blame to go all the way around with everyone. I think,

412
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, could you have said RAFFI, you know, you know,

413
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: just step up for the team and play first base. Sure. Fine,

414
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: that's an opinion that I think is fair for people

415
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: to have. But I also think the Red Sox organization

416
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: themselves could have communicated better. I've brought this up a

417
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: million times. The Phillies talked to Harper, the Yankees, Toctic Judge.

418
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: I think it's okay to get some intel from your

419
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: top players, right. I think the Red Sox they botched,

420
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: you know, communication stuff. That's what I think. However, I

421
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: will say this, I think the Red Sox they looked

422
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: at how Alex Bregman has operated coming to Boston. Obviously,

423
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: what he was doing on the field was tremendous before

424
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: he went down, but also take a look at how

425
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: he has come into this clubhouse and really brought some leadership,

426
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: some positive vibes, just a different feel, talking with the

427
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: young guys a lot, really taking them under his wing.

428
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure Raffi's done some things here and there,

429
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: but you know, with Bregman, at least you're kind of

430
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: seeing it a little bit more out in the open.

431
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: He's sitting at the top of the dugout with these guys,

432
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: just bringing that sort of leadership that I think the

433
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: Red Sox really want within the organization. So I wonder

434
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: if maybe they've kind of looked at Bregman from Afar.

435
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: They're seeing how he's operating, and I wonder if they've

436
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: thought too, well, you know what, you know, we're paying

437
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: all this money to Raffi, you know where, paying him

438
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: the big bucks, but you know, he's not really wanting

439
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: to be that face of the franchise. He doesn't really

440
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: want to play first base. They you know, there's been that,

441
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: But then they look at Bregman and they say, you

442
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: know what, maybe we want to give this money to

443
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman. Right the Giants, they signed Chapman to a

444
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: deal with an opt out. They ended up extending him.

445
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: Maybe the Red Sox now can use that money and

446
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: put that to Alex Bregman, who they feel like is

447
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: doing the right things both on the field and off

448
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: the field. Maybe they feel like that's where the money

449
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: needs to go, or at least attempt. We'll see it.

450
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: Seems like Bregman has enjoyed his time with the Red

451
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: Sox here so far. We'll see where this goes. But

452
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: that's what I wonder if maybe the Red Sox they're

453
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: looking at this. Red Seat Radio is here. Red Seat

454
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: Radio is here, my friend. Thank you for joining me today.

455
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: I saw he went live earlier, but yes, I agree.

456
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: Got to make sure Bregman is here for the next

457
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: five years. As an understatement, my friend, we need to

458
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: figure out how to keep this guy long term. I agree,

459
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: everyone go subscribe Red Seat Radio. Amazing work, my friend.

460
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: But I'm also gonna look at it from this point

461
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: of you too. I brought this up during the reaction earlier.

462
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: What does this mean for Alex Cora moving forward? I

463
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: think that's a fair question. I don't know, man. I mean,

464
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: Cora has been you know, seems like he's been on

465
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: the side of Raffie Devers for a long time. What

466
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: does he think about this? I can't wait to see

467
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: what Cora's response is to this. I think tomorrow we

468
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 1: are going to be getting word from Craig Breslo and

469
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: Sam Kennedy. Be on the lookout for that tomorrow. But

470
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: I do wonder what Alex Cora is thinking about this

471
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: whole thing. I think that's interesting. I don't know, it's

472
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: weird because you know, with Cora, he's always valued having

473
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: a you know, sure he had Jady Martinez there for

474
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: a little while, but you know Cora, he likes to

475
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: mix and match with the lineups. He likes to have flexibility.

476
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: So I do wonder if maybe Korra feels like obviously,

477
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he's happy with Raffi getting moved. I'm

478
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: pretty sure he's, uh, he is stunned. But then again,

479
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, Cora does have ties, you know, very close

480
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: ties with the front office. Right, maybe he's known about

481
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: this for a little while, who knows, But you can't

482
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: think that Cora is at all happy about this. Maybe

483
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: there could be I want to word this carefully because

484
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: I don't want people to take me out of context here.

485
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: I do wonder if maybe there is like a sense

486
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: of relief, not for himself, but just more for Raffi,

487
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: because he cares about him very much, and maybe he

488
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 1: feels like, you know what, the best thing for Raffi,

489
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: for him as a person, is to maybe just have

490
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: a fresh start somewhere. Maybe Cora feels that a little

491
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: bit for him. Again, though from a lineup point of view,

492
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: you're not happy about it. From a manager point of view,

493
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: his job just got harder, right, more pressure just got

494
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: put on Alex Cora, you know. But from a personal

495
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: point of view, I do wonder if Kora maybe feels

496
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: a sense of relief for Raffi to go get a

497
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: fresh start in San Francisco. He's gonna talk eventually, you know, Cora,

498
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna have microphones all up in his face, right.

499
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of interesting layers about this.

500
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: I really am looking forward to see what more of

501
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: the reaction is going to be in the coming days.

502
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: You know, as Red Sox fans, it's coming. We're gonna

503
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: see this get out, that get out. Someone's gonna write

504
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: about this, Someone's gonna put this out there, thinking, who

505
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: the heck is this guy putting this tweet out there?

506
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: But he's got something on Raffi. We gotta read this thing,

507
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, so you're gonna see a lot of stuff,

508
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: I think in the coming days. I guess just to

509
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: wrap this up here, know ye, it's still shocking. It's

510
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: still shocking, you know, I can't believe it. Like I

511
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: remember when Manny got traded back in two thousand and eight.

512
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: I was still shocked about it then. But looking back

513
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: on it, not really right because obviously, like he was done,

514
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: it was done in Boston. The Red Sox were done

515
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: with him. They had they had put up with it,

516
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: with it, put up with his antics a lot. Obviously,

517
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: it was a great player. I see a lot of

518
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: similarities here in different contract situations because Manny was coming

519
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: up on his contract then Raffi was, you know, not

520
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: even two years into his contract. But but I don't

521
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: want to know that's not even fair. Also, you know,

522
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: comparing Manny to you know, Raffi completely different, right, Obviously,

523
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: Manny was doing just some absolutely stupid stuff like shoving

524
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: down you know, security guards, getting into fights with Kevin Euclis.

525
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: Raffi's not doing any of that. More so, just I'm

526
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: comparing the frustration between the front office and player. Right. Obviously,

527
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: Manny is not no what he was doing was just ridiculous, right,

528
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: Raffi wasn't doing any of that, but more so just

529
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: the disconnect with the front office. You see some similarities there,

530
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: a little bit no Mar, you know, a little bit too.

531
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 1: I think maybe you could even compare this to Nomar

532
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I'd actually think that's a better comparison.

533
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: I think No Mar would be a better one. Granted

534
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: the contract was a little different. He was coming up

535
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: at the end of his but you know, a guy

536
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: that he just felt like Nomr just seemed checked out right. Obviously,

537
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: he wanted a new contract, and he felt like he

538
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: just wasn't being respected, right, and you know, front office

539
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: didn't view him as you know, the player that he

540
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: thought that they viewed him as, and you know, they

541
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: just turned into a yeah, No Mar was checked out, right.

542
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 1: So I kind of see that more similar Rafi. Though

543
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: It's again it's a completely different situation because Raffi's got

544
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: a whole career in front of him. Well no more.

545
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: While we didn't realize it at the time, he was

546
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: going into the twilight of his career. He ended up

547
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: putting up a couple of more decent seasons later on,

548
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: but you know this is it's still bonkers to me,

549
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: still bonkers. I didn't talk about the players that the

550
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: Red Sox got in return. Well, let's move on from

551
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: that and uh, let's talk about this. Well. I mean, hey,

552
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: at least we got some players back in return, right,

553
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: And that's where I think a lot of the executives

554
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: out there they're thinking, Wow, the Red Sox actually got

555
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: players back and they didn't have to pay any of

556
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: the contract. I'm telling you right now, I mean, Passing

557
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: said it himself. A lot of executives are gonna love that.

558
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: We look at things, you know, as fans from the outside,

559
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: from a non front office perspective. We look at it

560
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: so differently. People in that world, they look at things

561
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: so differently. They look at from the money, the numbers,

562
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: the analytics. We look at it from a completely different scope.

563
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: So a lot of the executives out there think the

564
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: Red Sox they probably won this deal. Honestly, we'll see.

565
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think there's any I

566
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: don't think the Red Sox is gonna be winning this deal.

567
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: But could this be a deal where you look at

568
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: when the Dodgers they took on all the contracts of

569
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez. Could maybe the Red

570
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,239
Speaker 1: Sox look at this as like a situation where they

571
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: were able to get out from a lot of money

572
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: and they could reallocate that money in different ways, right,

573
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: and it would give more playing time for some younger

574
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: guys coming up. That's what I wonder if maybe the

575
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: Red Sox they kind of see some similarities with that trade.

576
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: You know, I've talked about nomar Manny right, the frustrations there,

577
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: but from a trade comparison point of view, I do

578
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: wonder if that one is similar. Obviously different, but I

579
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,439
Speaker 1: wonder if maybe that's how the Red Sox are looking

580
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: at it themselves. Let's get to the players. Kyle Harrison,

581
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: he hasn't fully found his way in Major League Baseball,

582
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: but this is a guy with a good arm. This

583
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: is a guy that has shown a lot of things.

584
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: I believe he was a top one Hungred prospect just

585
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: two years ago. I believe right, Kyle Harrison was the

586
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: number eighteen prospect back in twenty twenty three in the

587
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: top one hungerd Right prospects or prospects at the end

588
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: of the day, right, you gotta they eventually got to

589
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: start performing. But that is one one thing to keep

590
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: in mind with Harrison. He has been a highly regarded

591
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: pitching prospect and something to keep in mind. Was he

592
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: on the top one Hungary back in twenty four, Well, yes,

593
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: he was number twenty three. Just last year, number twenty three.

594
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: So something to keep in mind with Kyle Harrison. Why

595
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: because he's got good stuff. He's got good villo from

596
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: the left side. He's got a good cutter that he

597
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: works in change up as well. Right, I think the

598
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: Red Sox funny enough. I hate to say this, This

599
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: is really gonna cheese off some Red Sox fans out there.

600
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: Hunter Knowle on Twitter per source, the Red Sox are

601
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: optioning Kys triple a. Oh that, I honestly was kind

602
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: of fair. I said that in the reaction stream when

603
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: I first went live, I was thinking, I'm like, is

604
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 1: Kyle Harrison even gonna be on the major league team?

605
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: I feel like there's I mean, there's already all these

606
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: spots taken right in the rotation in the bullpen. I

607
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: kind of looked at Kyle Harrison as a guy that

608
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 1: can just go back down to Triple A, and they

609
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: obviously they're bringing him in. Andrew Bailey has that familiarity

610
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: with him. I'll also say this, let me go back

611
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 1: here Kyle Harrison in twenty twenty three, that's when Bailey

612
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: was there. Harrison did show a pretty decent strikeout to

613
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: walk ratio nine strikeouts per nine compared to two point

614
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: eight walks per nine. You know, the advanced metrics with

615
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: him have been fully clicked. He has been a guy

616
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: prone to giving up the home run ball. But that's

617
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: where the Red Sox let's see if they can get

618
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: in the lab. I mean, listen, I mean, look at

619
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 1: all these guys that the Red Sox have developed here

620
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: over the last year or so. I mean, take a

621
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: look at the Red Sox pitching development going back you know,

622
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: this past year, right, Peyton Totley, He's looked phenomenal down there,

623
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: Juan Valeras taking a big step forward, Davison Reyes Piez.

624
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: I mean, who else am I missing here? Brandon Clark,

625
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: He's taking a big step forward, right obviously, Hunter Dobbins,

626
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: Richard Fitz those are a couple of other examples. So

627
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: I think Kyle Harrison. He could have been a good

628
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: situation here where maybe he goes down to the minors

629
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: for a little bit and you know, gets to work

630
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: with some of those guys, and maybe Harrison can end

631
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: up being pretty decent for the Red Sox. But I

632
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: could totally see Red Sox fans thinking, like, what I mean,

633
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: the guy that we just traded our star and for

634
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna go down to Triple A, right,

635
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: So I could totally see the frustration there. But then

636
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: we also get Jordan Hicks. Jordan Hicks I find very interesting.

637
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: Here's a guy with a ton of ve low. He's

638
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: got some pretty nasty stuff when he's on. This guy

639
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: could be hard to hit. Now. The good thing with

640
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks. I remember the Red Sox were in on

641
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks before he went to the Giants. This is

642
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: a guy where you know, he's so interesting, right because

643
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: he has such good stuff. They brought him in as

644
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: a starter last year. He was still pitching out of

645
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: the he was in the bullpen for most he was

646
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: as he was a starter in the miners while he

647
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: was coming up, but then he got moved to the bullpen.

648
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: He's shown a lot of good things in the bullpen

649
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: in the past. Last year, he did have some success

650
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: as a starter at a four point ten four point

651
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: three seven fifth, but he reduced the strikeouts. I'm very

652
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: curious to see what kind of a role Jordan Hicks

653
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: is going to be in. He's on the il right now,

654
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: so I honestly wonder if they put him in the bullpen.

655
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: I've been saying here for a little bit. I think

656
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: the Red Sox they need another high leverage arm in

657
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: the bullpen. I mean, they already got all the starters.

658
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: That's kind of where I wonder if Hicks is gonna go.

659
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if we're looking at the Red Sox bullpen

660
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: right now, I mean, obviously they just made the trade

661
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: for Jorge Alkala. I mean you could just send him

662
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: back down. They're still waiting for Justin Slayton to come back.

663
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: But I wonder if you could see a situation where

664
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: Slayton comes back Alkala, maybe they could send him down

665
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you get Slaton and

666
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks in your bullpen, and all of a sudden,

667
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: that is a nasty looking bullpen. I could see them

668
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: maybe using Hicks as that you know, like a multi

669
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: inning kind of an option, right. I mean, you gotta

670
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: remember they do have you know, what's what's going on

671
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: with Tanner Hawk by the way, did he just like

672
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: disappear Cutter Crawford. He's been throwing. But I could see

673
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: Hicks in that, you know, multi inning kind of a role, right,

674
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: kind of like what they were doing with Sean Newcome

675
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I think you could even see

676
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: Hicks coming in different spots. So you know, I think

677
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: you could see him out of the bullpen. I really

678
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: think that, you know, if some guys goes down then

679
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: the rotation, then maybe he can get a start. But

680
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: that's kind of where I'm leaning, so I see potential there.

681
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 1: This is where I get a little excited, Ladies and gentlemen,

682
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: That's where I get a little excited. I really like

683
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: James Tibbs. Man, James Tibbs. This guy was an absolute

684
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: monster at Florida State. This guy. If you like the

685
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: long ball, you're gonna like James Tibbs, but not just

686
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: the long ball. A guy that gets on base, right,

687
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: three seventy seven on base so far this year. Now,

688
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: he did have a bit of a tough time in

689
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: the miners. Last year, in his debut pro season, he

690
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: did well in a ball, but then he went to

691
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: Hi A and he kind of fell off a little

692
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: bit and High A. This year, you're seeing an improvement

693
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: with getting on base twelve home runs, a four to

694
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: eighty on the slugging a one thirty two WRC plus.

695
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: This was a guy that was drafted right after Braida Montgomery.

696
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: And remember the Red Sox they traded away Braida Montgomery

697
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: in the Crochet deal. James Tibbs. He went numbers thirteen

698
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: right behind him. I do think James Tibbs can end

699
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: up being an impact bat for the Red Sox at

700
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: some point. I mean, people were thinking he was going

701
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: to be the pick for the Red Sox, but no

702
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: one expected Braidon Montgomery to fall out of the top ten.

703
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: So funny enough, we ended up getting James Tibbs anyway,

704
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: So you know, it's kind of interesting because they get

705
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: Braida Montgomery, they ship him out for Crochet, but then

706
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: you end up just getting the next best lefty bat

707
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: after him, right. Sure it came at the expense of

708
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: Raffie Devers. I get that, but uh, it's just kind

709
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: of funny how that all worked out right there. But

710
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 1: James Tibbs, this is a guy with a high power

711
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: upside and a guy that he's shown the ability, especially

712
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: at college, to get on base. Right. There is some

713
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: platoon risk with him, but you know whatever, we've seen

714
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: the Red Sox they love using their platoons as of Lake.

715
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 1: And then we got one more guy in this deal

716
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: we had. Let's see, Oh it's Jose Bayo, Jose Bao.

717
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: There's not really too much on him as of right now.

718
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: Coming into the year Fangrafts they projected him as the

719
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: number I don't know why it's not here now. It

720
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: was he was the number twenty seven prospect in the

721
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: Giants organization. Coming over. I think they must have updated that.

722
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: But one thing I want to point out. He's got

723
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: a good slider, seems to have an average change up

724
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: for the most part, throws a lot of strikes, but

725
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: take a look at the fastball. If you're here, live

726
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: with me on YouTube. Thirty five grade currently forty future grade.

727
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: This is a guy where he's definitely smaller and I

728
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: don't say shorter, but thinner. He's six foot one, one

729
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four pounds. Please eat a sandwich, my friend,

730
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: please go start drinking a gallon of whole milk a day.

731
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: I need you to put some a little little beefy

732
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: beef on those bones. But the fastball, what have the

733
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: Red Sox done well with within the organization over the

734
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: last year increasing velocity? Can they maybe get a little

735
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: bit of a vlo bump with Jose Beao, maybe get

736
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more out of him. We'll see. I think,

737
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: you know again, am I trying to grasp a straws here?

738
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: Am I looking for? Am I sounding like a homer

739
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: trying to look for any kind of a win possible

740
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: with this deal? I think that's possible. I can be

741
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: you know, I can look at myself in the mirror

742
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: and think, yeah, maybe I'm being delusional here right. I'm

743
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: not saying the Red Sox won this trade. However, I

744
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: do see some upside with the guys they got back,

745
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: and you know, again, losing Raffi absolutely stinks, There's no

746
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: question about it. But I look at the possibilities of

747
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: what it could open up. You could get your Sheeta back,

748
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, maybe cut down on those strikeouts a little

749
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: bit more. Roman is gonna start getting some more time here,

750
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, could this still open up another deal? You know,

751
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: could you see could you see Willier maybe still get

752
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: moved if Massa comes back? Could you maybe could you

753
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: maybe even see a situation here? I'm gonna play fantasy

754
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: fantasy trading in my head. Could you see a situation

755
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: where maybe they could flip one of these guys like

756
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Harrison? Maybe, could you maybe see something like Willier

757
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: and Kyle Harrison, I don't know, maybe for Freddy Peralta

758
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: or maybe Chris Bubick on the Royals, you know what

759
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean. I just feel like there's more here, you know,

760
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: because there's still a lot of guys where there's still

761
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: a puzzle to figure out here. It really comes down

762
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: to what's happening with Masa. What that I think is

763
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: the key thing here. What are they gonna do with him?

764
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna find out in the next couple

765
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: of days. But I see you in the chat, Brett,

766
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: just looking at the lineup and not seeing a star

767
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: hurts it? Does? It does? I'm gonna look at the

768

Speaker 1: Okay, let's get back to it here, shall we. And

790
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: we got some people in the chat. What are you

791
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: all saying here? I feel like I'm seeing a lot

792
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: of arguing in the chat. Right now, What do we

793
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: got here, Mason, Red Sox need to worry about making

794
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Oh wait, we are selling. I don't think

795
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: we're selling. I'm gonna say that right now. I probably

796
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: should have said that earlier. I don't look at this

797
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: as selling. I look at this again making comparisons to

798
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: an old trade. I'm looking at the Manny Ramirez trade.

799
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: It's still not the same. But remember in the Red

800
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: Sox they traded away many Ramire is one of the

801
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 1: best bats in the game, and they brought in Jason Bay.

802
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: You know, they still were competing. They still made it

803
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: to the American League Championship Series that year. I mean,

804
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: that wasn't selling, right, It was just simply, you know,

805
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: a way for the Red Sox to get out of

806
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: the contract, maybe try and you know, to improve the

807
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: culture in the clubhouse a little bit. I'm not sure

808
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: if I mentioned that earlier, but I think that's also

809
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: another thing to think about here too. I think that's

810
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: really one of the big goals for the Red Sox.

811
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: I think they're just trying to who knows of that

812
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: if they're doing it the right way. But I'm looking

813
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: at it from maybe what they're thinking of, trying to

814
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: just improve the culture. But I don't think they're selling.

815
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't look at it like that. I look at

816
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: it as I just look at it as we're making

817
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: a lot of remove and Mason, No, I disagree with you.

818
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: We are not selling by any means. We're right there

819
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: in the wildcard hunt right now. I don't see it

820
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: as selling at all. I think it's just making a

821
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: lateral move. That's the way I see it. That's the

822
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,919
Speaker 1: way I see it. But we'll see what ends up happening. Right,

823
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: even look at Nomar, right, go back to the Nomar deal.

824
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: You know you're trading an icon in Boston. You brought

825
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: an Orlando Cabrera and dougman Cavish for No More Garcia Para?

826
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 1: I mean what I mean, could you maybe even look

827
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: at it like that?

828
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 3: Right?

829
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: You're thinking, who the heck is Doug Mncavis, Who the

830
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: heck is Orlando Cabrera? What Orlando Cabrera? This is no

831
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: more Garcia Para we're talking about here? And what did

832
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: the Red Sox end up doing? And I'm winning a

833
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: world series, right, Yeah, but George, I agree with you too.

834
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: I agree with you too, and I think that's a

835
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: good way to put it here too, Uh, Peter, Peter, Peter.

836
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: Not a lateral move, but not a cell. I mean

837
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: I kind of assume, yeah, you're right, it's not really

838
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: a lateral move. That's yeah, Maybe that's not the way

839
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: to say it. How do you even say that if

840
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: it's not a lateral move? But I don't look at

841
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: it as a cell. I mean you take a bit

842
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: of a step back, and I think they're hoping to

843
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: take step forward. We'll see. But yes, George, you are right.

844
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: Later remove well maybe a little less than a ladder remove,

845
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: but subtracted offense, right, And yeah, I mean this is

846
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 1: gonna hurt, of course it is that, there's no way

847
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: around it. Absolutely not like this hurts, This is not

848
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: this is not joyful. I'm not going to bed happy tonight.

849
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to bed. You know how I feel right now.

850
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm not happy. I'm not upset. I'm not mad. Maybe

851
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: a little upset, i'll go back, maybe a little upset,

852
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: maybe a little mad, eh, maybe not even mad. More upset.

853
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm more I don't want to say confused, worried. I

854
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: think worried might be the right word, but not worried

855
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: where I'm like, oh no more so.

856
00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 4: Uh, I'm kind of just in a way and see,

857
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 4: you know, but at the same time I have doubts,

858
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 4: but then I'm hopeful at the same time, I don't

859
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 4: think I'm making any sense.

860
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: I still don't even know how I feel. Let's just

861
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: put it at that. I still haven't come up with

862
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: how I feel. William Green, what does the trade value say?

863
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: It says that the Red Sox they won this deal

864
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: by forty million dollars. But that's not the right way

865
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: to describe it. Not the right way to describe it, right,

866
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean you're looking and that's mostly from a financial

867
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: point of view. The riz optimistic. I am optimistic. How

868
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: about this? I am very cautiously optimistic, but a little

869
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: upset at the same time. What could it? What's an

870
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 1: analogy I could use here? You go to the gross

871
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: now this is gonna be nope or whatever, I'll go

872
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: with it. You go to the grocery store, you got

873
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: the perfect meal in your mind. You're going for, you know,

874
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: a nice RIBI byby pick up some potatoes, you get

875
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: the seasonings, You're feeling good about dinner that night. You

876
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: get to the store. They got no steak, they got nothing.

877
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: You think, oh, crap, Well, my plans just like you know,

878
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: you're looking at how well the Red Sox are doing lately,

879
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, getting into actual contention here. All these plans

880
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: all of a sudden have gone sideways, and you're thinking,

881
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,439
Speaker 1: what's going on here? What's going on? What are we doing?

882
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: But then you come home you think okay, and then

883
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: a new restaurant opens up right down the road. You

884
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: get a notification about it from I don't know, a

885
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: friend or something. Hey, have you seen this new place?

886
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: It's pretty good, looks pretty good. You're going there. That's

887
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: where I am right now. I'm on the way to

888
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: the new restaurant after my perfect dinner just got completely

889
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: thrown out the window and I couldn't even do it.

890
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: But I'm on the way to this new restaurant. I

891
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 1: don't know how it's gonna go. It could go good,

892
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 1: it could go great, but there's also a chance it's

893
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: gonna go terrible. I think That's how I think. That's

894
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: how tired I am. I'm starting to compare trades to

895
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: food to making dinner. It is bad, Jordan, You're right.

896
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: I apologize for this terrible analogy. I think I'm just

897
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: at a loss for words. Still. I think I'm trying to,

898
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe justify things in my head. Possibly

899
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: this is how I am as a Red Sox fan.

900
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: It's how I've always been. I you know, I get

901
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: upset about things. I'm just frustrated about things, and but

902
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: I still find a way to stay optimistic. It's kind

903
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 1: of how I've always been. It's kind of just in

904
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: my Red Sox DNA. It's how it's always been. And

905
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: David Young, I am too. You're saying here you're excited

906
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 1: for Hicks. I am too. I think he could end

907
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: up being well, we we'll see. I mean, the potential's there.

908
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: You don't know how it's gonna go on paper, right,

909
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: but I think there is something there with him. You know.

910
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: I still wonder about maybe another possible deal out there.

911
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: Could Masataka Yoshida come back and finally start living up

912
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: to you know, this contract, even though it was just

913
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 1: a little bit, Could maybe Kyle Harrison end up turning

914
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: into a solid two or three in the rotation. You know,

915
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm I'm optimistic about things, but I'm very

916
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: cautious at the same time. But I am also very

917
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: excited about the fact that, well, now Roman has a

918
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: clear path depending on how a couple other things go right.

919
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: But it's looking like Roman is going to be getting

920
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities here. So I think there's good things,

921
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: but it is frustrating trading away a star player. We'll

922
00:53:55,360 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: leave it at that. But everyone, if you can hit

923
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,959
Speaker 1: that like button for me, I'm very tired. I've done

924
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 1: now two live shows. I've done a video that I

925
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: posted on my main channel breaking it down in a

926
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: quicker fashion. But if you can for me, just hit

927
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 1: the like button on the way out. If you are new,

928
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: if you are just finding Monsta Territory for the first time,

929
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: think about subscribing. We're talking Red Sox baseball here all

930
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: the time, and we'll be live here tomorrow night. I mean, listen,

932
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: we get the Giants. We have the Giants in a

933
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: few nights. I mean, listen. That's crazy, That is diabolical

934
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 1: that the Red Sox are literally going to see raffi

935
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: in four days in a giant's uniform, four days after

936
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: the trade. That is gonna be bonkers. Man, that's gonna

937
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: be so crazy. But everybody, I'm out of here. Thank

938
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,279
