Now here's Baseball Hall of Fame 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: voter number Rob Parker. Welcome into the podcast. I'm your host, 6 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: Rob Parker, and welcome into the Hot Stove edition of 7 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: Inside the Parker. Will give you one every month or 8 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: in the baseball off season, so we'll do that. Plus 9 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: we'll hear from Shadow League Baseball writer J R. Gamble 10 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: that and much more. Let's go up to lead off. 11 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: It's getting robbed to keep him on. Rob's hot take 12 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: on the three biggest stories in Major League Baseball. Number One, 13 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot is due by the 14 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: end of the month before the new year hits. I 15 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: have my ballot and I'm ready to fill it out, 16 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: ready to send it in. The interesting thing here is 17 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: on this ballot there isn't anybody really who's new on 18 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: the ballot to where you say like they should get 19 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame. For sure. There's some names 20 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: like Tory Hunter, Tim Hudson, Mark Burley, Barry zero. All 21 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: had good careers, but not Hall of Fame worthy. So 22 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: I think that's good news for Barry Bonds at Roger Clements. 23 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: Both of course, have been marred because of all the 24 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: p D steroid allegations against them, even though neither one 25 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: tested positive during their career, most believe that they used, 26 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: and a lot of people I think we're using during 27 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: that time in Major League Baseball. So now, to me, 28 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: they have two chances left this year and next year. 29 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: You only get ten years. This is year nine. I 30 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: do believe that these two guys could possibly get in 31 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: because Kurt Schilling has a good chance of getting in. 32 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: Last year he had seventy percent. You need seventy five 33 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: to get in, so there's a good chance of that. 34 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: But when you talk about Bonds and you talk about Clements, 35 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: here's the thing you need to know. Their votes have. 36 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: Their numbers haven't gone down over these past eight years. 37 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: They've gone up, small numbers, but they have gone up. 38 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: Last year, Clements got two hundred and forty to vote 39 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: sixt and Bonds got two D one votes sixty point 40 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: seven percent. I'm gonna vote for both of these guys, 41 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: but I think the time has come punished. They've been 42 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: punished enough by the writers for their part in the 43 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: steroid p D era. These guys were Hall of Famer's. 44 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: Uh No, the eye test will tell you Royd's. No, 45 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: Royd's these guys were two of the greatest players who 46 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: ever played the game. So I think that these guys 47 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: have a shot. They should go in together, and they 48 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: should be linked. And if you want to put on 49 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: the plaque that these guys whatever you want to put 50 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: on there, uh that they played under suspicion during the 51 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: steroid era or whatever, it's fine, but these guys deserve 52 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: to be in. Both of them will get my vote. 53 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: I'll turn my ballot in later on with the rest 54 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: of my votes later on this month. But this will 55 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: be interesting. Um. The one story I think it's interesting 56 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: is baseball writers, when you get to the last year 57 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, and I'm not fully uh cool with this, 58 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: is that guys have like change their votes and voted 59 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: for guys in their final year. And we saw a 60 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: huge jump for Larry Walker last year. Think about this. 61 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: He made the Hall of Fame on his tenth and 62 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: final trial on the ballot, becoming the seventh player to 63 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,679 Speaker 1: pull that off. Walker went from fifty four point six 64 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: in his ninth year to seventies six point six. I 65 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: mean that was a whopping jump of more than that's 66 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: an incredible jump from ninth to tenth. So all these 67 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: people who didn't vote for him in year nine all 68 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden got on board. I think they should 69 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: just do bonds and clements now and not wait till 70 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: the tenth year. But that's what gives them hope that 71 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: they will both get in on this try or their 72 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: final trial. Number two old new White Sox manager Tony 73 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: Lo Russa. Yes, at seventies six years old, the White Sox, 74 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: of course shocked Major League Baseball by hiring their former skipper, 75 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: who is retired and already been put in the Hall 76 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: of Fame. I thought it was a bad move with 77 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: the young team and everything they got, but apparently, uh, 78 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,679 Speaker 1: the White Sox want to live in the past and 79 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: and they're all in on h Tony LaRussa. So uh 80 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: news has come out that uh Larussa's legal team has 81 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: now uh contacted the people in Arizona and that he 82 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: is going to plead guilty to some sort of charge. 83 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: We're not sure if it's the d u y, but 84 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: there will be some sort of charge uh because he 85 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: was driving under the influence UH in Arizona. That is 86 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: allegedly what happened. So they'll plead there. But the White Sox, 87 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: they've been busy preparing for the season, and they've hired 88 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: uh already the coaching staff and all the other people 89 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: to help uh Tony LaRussa and managing the White Sox. 90 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: This year, the White Sox were a good team, made 91 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: it to the playoffs. They got knocked out by the A's, 92 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: but but they got a bright future. A lot of 93 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: good young players were swagged. This will be interesting to 94 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: see how this plays out. What happens with Tony LaRussa. 95 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: You know, this isn't the first time he had a 96 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: d uy issue. Uh. He's seventies six years old. Will 97 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: he have the energy? Will he be able to get 98 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: through the season. There's so many question marks with this, 99 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: but this is where the White Sox are and uh, 100 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm not buying it. Number three, all right, I promise 101 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: you some hot stove and here we go. Free agency 102 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. Here's the issue. There are gonna 103 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: be these like gigantic three million dollar contracts, anything close 104 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: to what we have seen the last couple of years. 105 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: Because obviously with baseball only playing sixty games, rev of 106 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: news down everything, it's gonna be a dramatically different um 107 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: free agency. But the top free agent out there, you 108 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: know how baseball is pitching at Trevor Bauer. Uh probably 109 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: get a four year, a hundred twenty eight million dollars 110 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: some sort of deal like that. Uh. Bauer, Uh, you 111 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: know won the National League side young, he was stellar. 112 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: He had an NL best one point seven three e 113 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: r or. Any team would want to uh hitch their 114 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: wagon to Trevor Bauer and he'll have plenty of takers. Uh. 115 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: Maybe somebody tries to go a little bit more. But 116 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: it just seems like the Dodgers will be in, the Yankees, Phillies, 117 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: Matt's Blue Jays. Who's not in on this guy Padres, 118 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: So there'll be plenty of guys there, um for Trevor Bauer. 119 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,119 Speaker 1: George Springer is another guy. UM five years, hundred twenty 120 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: five millions something like that. People are talking about the 121 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: White Sox who just mentioned Tony Larusa, So it could 122 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: be the White soxer in on this. Uh, maybe the Mets, 123 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: Blue Jays Phillies, Cardinals, Nationals. Those are all teams that 124 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: need and outfield the like Springer and Uh a really 125 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: good hitter, so he's another guy to be looking out 126 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: there for. Another one is DJ Lemayhew, who had a 127 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: fine season with the Yankees. Um he ain't the two year, 128 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: twenty four million dollar deal with the Yankees, but played 129 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: tremendously well uh for the Yankees, and um, you know 130 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: there will be takers. It doesn't look like, you know, 131 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: the Yankees are looking uh to resign him. I'm not 132 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: so sure, but if they reached their limit, could be 133 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, Nationals, Angels, Dodgers, and there was even 134 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: a hint and some talk about the Mets. So there's 135 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: another guy out there. This will be interesting and it's 136 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: not gonna be earth shattering, nothing like we saw over 137 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: the last few years with free agency. But there's some 138 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: really good players that could make somewhat of a different 139 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: But it looks like baseball for the most part will 140 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: be a stalemate except for a handful of chips moving around, 141 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: and maybe there'll be a couple of months other trades 142 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: or something. So the hot stove will be hot, but 143 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: maybe not as hot as it has been. When Rob 144 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: was a newspaper columnist, he lived by this motto. If 145 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: I'm writing, I'm ripping. Let's bring in a writer and broadcaster, 146 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: older new all right, let's welcome into the podcast.

All Right, 153 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: we got a couple of topics we want to kick 154 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: it around. Get your thoughts about a j hinge uh 155 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: was hired in Detroit, you know, coming off the one 156 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: year suspension for the big cheating scandal with the Houston 157 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: astros Um. You know, I mean people expected him to 158 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: work again. Seemed a little soon right away, like as 159 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: soon as the suspension was over. I mean he got 160 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: a job in a couple of weeks. So that was 161 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: the only part, not that he would never work again. 162 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: Where are you on this and the Tigers going after 163 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: hinch Um. I was kind of surprised, but obviously relationships 164 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: mean a lot in sports and Um, this one's on Detroit. 165 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: You know, they felt that Hinch was the guys he 166 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: knows the game, but you know his character is now 167 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: questionable from the scandal in Houston. It's clear that baseball 168 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: time to just move on from the cheating scandal as 169 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: quickly as possible. The whole COVID situation this season help 170 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: and Detroit feels that, you know, Hint, his baseball acumen 171 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: is worked the risk of bringing him in. Um alex 172 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: Corra has also returned. I feel like he won the 173 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: World Series. He should get a chance to come back 174 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: do it again. So that's really on the teams that 175 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: hire these guys. You know, a lot of fans might 176 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: have a problem with the people within baseball definitely talk 177 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: and have a problem with it. But obviously Hinch knows 178 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: the right people have some relation to the Detroit front office, 179 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: Detroit ownership, and they decided, hey, let's take a chance 180 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: to get a World Series manager in here, regardless of 181 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: how we got it. The only issue I have and 182 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: we know a J. Hinch one that World Series with 183 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: the Astros, but you know, with the treating scandal is 184 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: a character flaw and and and I think that's the 185 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: part that you know, if you have an organization, you 186 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: bring a guy like that to your organization who you know, 187 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: knew what was going on in Basically he didn't say anything. 188 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't deny that that he knew what 189 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: was going on. Um and then if anything happens with 190 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: your organization, you know what I mean? Like, that's the 191 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: part that you set yourself up, Bay, is that people 192 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: would go like, you knew this, you hired him, and 193 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: now you got an issue. Yeah, clearly he knows someone 194 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: or is connected in a way that they were over to. 195 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: They were able to overlook his past transgressives. You wouldn't 196 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: know how to Detroit for an offer his works more 197 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: than I would have it in there and covered sports 198 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: in that talent for so long. Why would they make 199 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: a move like this looks like desperation. They're trying to 200 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: fits on with somebody that's one and maybe in a 201 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: twisted way, they actually admire how far he would go 202 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: as sport to win the tempership and they need somebody 203 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 1: in there like that because it's been a long time before, 204 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: no doubt, Tigers have been trying to win for a 205 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: long time. Uh. And then we saw Alex core wound 206 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: up coming back to the Red Sox after he too 207 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: was suspended. He was also caught up in that scandal 208 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: with the Astros. He was a coach there um and 209 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: then you know, there was talking maybe he brought that 210 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: to the Red Sox because if you remember, the Astros 211 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: won the World Series in seventeen, Corey became the manager 212 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: of the Red Sox in eighteen and then they won 213 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: the World Series. People thought maybe he brought the same 214 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: cheating tactics. They did an investigation, said, you know Jr. 215 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,479 Speaker 1: That that wasn't the case, but he still was suspended 216 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: for his involvement. Do you have an issue with the 217 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: Red Sox bringing corterback? No, absolutely not. I think is 218 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: a better manager than for one and two. I think 219 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: that he was cleared on cheating with the World Series 220 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: and one with the Red Sox, so that means did 221 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: his diligence. You know, he's he's not involved or implicated 222 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: in any scandal there. That's retroactive punishment, you know, funny 223 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: there for what he did in Houston, that's over with now. 224 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: The colde like I said, COVID nineteen has helped the situation. 225 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: The players haven't had to deal with the fans I'm 226 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: haggling them or you know, the media really rehashing that situation. 227 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: So I think Core is cool. He earned everything he 228 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: got with the Red Sox that's been cleared that from 229 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: proven so for you know, them to call him back 230 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: after he had to embarrassingly and shamefully you know, sit 231 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: out of season. Luckily it is the shortened season. Hey, 232 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: it works out for everybody. These teams are gonna have 233 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: to live with their decisions, and I don't think that 234 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: it will be a big there a little wild Mike 235 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: goes on, Yeah, I mean I get Alex cora well 236 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: liked smart baseball guy. Again, for me, it just seems 237 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: like everything was too soon, too quick, you know, like 238 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: there was barely upon a how long, I don't know, 239 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: maybe a year or two. It just seemed as if 240 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: for the way that the players came down on the scandal. 241 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you never saw major League baseball players attack 242 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: each other. They're one of the strongest unions. They seldom 243 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: ever throw stones at each other, and in this one 244 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: they were angry about it. A lot of players, So 245 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: that's why I'm surprised that it It was just you know, 246 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: the basic little suspension of one year, and then remember 247 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: it was a shortened year because of COVID, so they 248 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: really didn't sit out that long. They didn't really get 249 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: the hundred and sixty two games. That's why I guess 250 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised. All right, I guessed it's J R. Gamble, Uh, 251 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: a senior editor for the Shadow League dot com, one 252 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: of the best baseball writers as well. Let's talk some 253 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: free agency. UM, I don't know how much big money 254 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: is out there, and I'm not saying obviously four years, 255 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty eight million is a is a 256 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: great pay day, but I'm not expecting to see any 257 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: three hundred million dollar deals like we saw. Uh. But 258 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: the biggest prize out there is Trevor Bauer, who was 259 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: the National League Side Young Award winner with the Cincinnati Reds. 260 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: A lot of teams are interested, uh, Dodgers, Yankees, maybe 261 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: the Padres. I'm sure there's other teams. Uh. What do 262 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: you think about Trevor Bauer and where could he wind up? Well, 263 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: you know, when you signed up for Trevor Power, you 264 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: get great pitching. Let's let's an e r at one 265 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: point with seven three r Ady sharing a host of 266 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: other categories, but you also get you know, his Twitter presence, um, 267 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: his honesty, and he likes to shake things up and 268 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: h go after certain people grudges is reported. I guess 269 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: the Dodgers are looking at four years and hundred twenty millions, 270 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: as you said. But the only problem is UH, that'll 271 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: be about the only team that it looks like he 272 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: might go to because Houston has been mentioned, but there's 273 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: a problem he has found with the scandal the Yankees. 274 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: But he doesn't like Garrick Cole right, so that might 275 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: be a problem. And then he said he only wanted 276 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: to do one year deal to maximize his earning potential. 277 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: So my cousin each other about I don't think signing 278 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: him is going to be as easy as people I think. 279 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: But if it happens and he does sign a multi 280 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: year deal, it'll most likely be with the Dodgers. He's 281 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: more comfortable with that team and they probably have the 282 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: most money to give him. There's a couple other names 283 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: out there as well. Um, when you talk about free agency, 284 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: let's talk about uh. George Springer is another guy who 285 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: has been great for the Astros, great leadoff hitter. UH 286 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: looks like he's moving on. He'll get a four or 287 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: five year deal somewhere. Great leadoff hitter and and of 288 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: course you can play the outfield. Uh, there'll be a 289 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: lot of takers for him on it. Yes, there will be. 290 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: And I'm hearing maybe the White Sox. You know, they 291 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: haven't already have a talented outfield, and Springing is one 292 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: of what fifteen that's at position players in the game. 293 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: So I can see him going to Chicago very well. 294 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: Then with a brave and uh Robertson, little guys Tim 295 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: Anderson and the infield and the rising team in surprise 296 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: this year and it's like we spoke about their pitching 297 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: holes up, they could really be contenders next year. You 298 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: had a guy like George Springer who was an impact 299 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: player who wants to get away from Houston because he 300 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: was one of those players deep re implicated in that 301 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: season scandal. Um, you know, I'm thinking Chicago a couple 302 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: of teams Mike scoop in. But he seems like a 303 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: perfect fit there for what they have going on. Here's 304 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: another thirty one. You know, he means he's gonna find 305 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: a final resting place, no, no, no doubt. How about 306 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: DJ Lemahew, who had a really good year, came to 307 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: the Yankees after down year in Colorado, signed just a 308 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: two year, twenty four million dollar deal. But he played 309 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,959 Speaker 1: well right uh for the Yankees in his two years. 310 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: I'm and he hit extremely well. Um. And he's uh 311 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: in a tough spot because he's become a stan favorite. 312 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: Fans got in love with him, but I don't think 313 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: the Yankees want to overpay for him. And that's the problem. 314 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: That's why he hasn't actually signed the deal yet. UM. 315 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: So the Yankees are gonna have to figure out what 316 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: they want to do with that situation. They liked him, 317 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: of course they want to keep him. He's had a 318 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: career revival. He's peaked as a Yankee. Some players are 319 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: just perfect for that situation. And Yeah, the man who 320 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 1: was one of those guys. I believe he'll end up 321 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: with the Yankees. A few other teams might throw offers 322 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: out there. He might listen to propressure on the Yankees, 323 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: but they almost have to resign him because the fans 324 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: just love him. Yeah, and he won the batting title 325 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: uh this past year. In a couple other names, I 326 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: want to kick out to you, Uh, Francisco Lindoor. It's 327 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: obvious that the Indians are not gonna sign him. The 328 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: talented shortstop and he'll wind up getting a big deal elsewhere, 329 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: but it will be a trade. The Indians will make 330 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: a trade this talk. Maybe the Dodgers are interested. They 331 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: would move Corey Seeger from shortstop the third If the 332 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: Dodgers were able to get him, that would be awesome. 333 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: Uh where do you see him going? I'm not I'm 334 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: not sure where he will go, but I know I 335 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: have a lot of takers that definitely have a lot 336 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: of suitors. Wouldn't it be interesting if he went to 337 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: the Cubs. Uh? You know that that team could use 338 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: a boost the batting wise. But he's to me, he's 339 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: a top creating after the kids. Unbelievable. He's actually might 340 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: be a little bit underrated. He needs a big market 341 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: to go to. You. Like he said, maybe the Dodgers 342 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: would be willing, all right, but how many more big 343 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: time all stars with use contracts and the Dodgers actually 344 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: take on. But you gotta remember this is justin. Turner's done. 345 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: He's a free agent, so you know what I mean? Yeah, 346 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 1: I think can we sign on a one year deal 347 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: with the Dodgers at least. I don't think they're gonna 348 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 1: let justin trying to go, but that I'm saying if 349 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: they wanted to, that would be why you would move 350 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: Corey Seeger. You give Francisco Lindoor and you have Mookie Betts. 351 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: That's that's a nice core. You know. Obviously, Uh many 352 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,719 Speaker 1: all stars can you have? Yeah, I guess plenty. Uh. 353 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: The other team too, is is the Padres. They could 354 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: maybe get Bower as well. That team is ready to win. 355 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: They had an exciting Tattoos is a big time star. 356 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: Manny Machado had a great year for them. Uh. They 357 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: picked up Clevinger in the trade. I mean if they 358 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: had a Bower there, they would be Uh. I think 359 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: they would be almost favorites. Are close to being favorites 360 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: in the NL. Yeah, yeah, definitely match the league. They'll 361 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: be because adding several Botts, like you said, the young 362 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,719 Speaker 1: talent there on the custo. I'd like to see them 363 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: two games though. We have a short taste of them, 364 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: and you see how Tatis faded out at the end 365 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: a little bit with the MVP hopes, but he did 366 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: add a boost that revives Manny Machado, who had elevated 367 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: back into the top, you know, five to eight players 368 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: in the game again. So that's an exciting team to 369 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: part lazy. They could use a little boost in that 370 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: picture staff that problem would make them a favorite bringing 371 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: pour Yeah, I like I like that move. All right, 372 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: here's the last two things I have for you two Cubs. 373 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: You know, it's been a wall since they won the 374 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: World Series. People thought that was automatic, they were gonna 375 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: repeat and win again because of the nucleus. But of 376 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: that core five should the Cubs and I'm talking about 377 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: rizz O'Brian Schwarber, uh Bias and Contreras. Would you what 378 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: would you do there? Would you uh, you know, keep 379 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: it together and try to give it another run together? 380 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: Or is it time to break up that core five? No? Well, well, 381 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: theo Epstein knows how to run an organization. And the 382 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: Cups had the Parade of two thousand sixteen. They haven't 383 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: been able to get back, been inconsistent and Chriff Bryant 384 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: has speaked with that m v P. You know, his 385 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: name has been at the center of room for few seasons. 386 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: Now they only have one year one year control. I 387 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: think over Briant and show us a bias, Rizzo and Schwaba, 388 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: so uh fryan Ston injury hampers to probably be best 389 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: to actually trade him, get something for him, and him 390 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: and Suaba seemed like the candidates to be traded. I 391 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: do not think that by two thousand twenty two you 392 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: would see the cord together. Two significant pieces of that 393 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: two thousand sixty west of the team will be elsewhere. 394 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: All right, here's the last thing for you. If you 395 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: had a Baseball Hall of Fame vote, and you could 396 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: only vote for two of the three names, I'll give you. Sure, 397 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: which two votes would you give? Kurt Schilling, Roger Clemens, 398 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: Barry Bonds? You can only have. You can only vote 399 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,959 Speaker 1: for two or the three. They're all on the ballot 400 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: this year. And uh, that's too easy a question, Rob Now, 401 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: being that I don't use the p d R anymore 402 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: scandal as an impediment to a guy getting into the 403 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. You cannot have a legitimate Hall of Fame, 404 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: b b w. Hey listen to me. You cannot have 405 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: a legitimate all of sames without having Barry Bonds and 406 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: Roger swimming in Cooper's down there, two of the top 407 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: twenty five players in the history of the game. They 408 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: brought so much excitement and talent and influence to the game. 409 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: They're respected by all the players. No one, none of 410 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: those guys care. Really what happens that this indeata against 411 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: guys that were accused, not even actually called the fumes 412 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: of using p D s after you already let in 413 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: some questionable p D guys Paz whose questions surrouving him. 414 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: Some of these guys b Joe Bagwell and asked those 415 00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: questions around them. Come on, Schilling. Look, Shilling didn't go 416 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: pick the bucket. All I care now as a person 417 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: kind of a pugnant, but as a state ball player 418 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: claiming the error that he plays in definitely is a 419 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: Hall of famer in my opinion. But those two, that's 420 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: the easy one. It's you know, find them clemen by 421 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: a little bit and then you go all the way 422 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: down and you finally get to god like Chilling. So 423 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: that that was an easy one. Thank you for that. 424 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: And I say every time that Bonds and Clemens in 425 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, it's about time we understand. It's 426 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: in perspective. Now we know what the PP error was. 427 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: We know how managers and coaches everybody was complicit. The 428 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: media turned the other I the other way, didn't acknowledge 429 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: what was going on to why we now punishing these guys. 430 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: It was that the whole hearing was a dog and 431 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: pony show years ago, were they threw the greatest players 432 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: of the game under the bus and embarrass them. That's 433 00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: with them, Baseball. Let's even off the score. Get thatverything 434 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: right now. They've been through enough it Bonds and Clemens 435 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: in the wall. Same before you put another borderline player 436 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: Alice Sammel, Harold thing, before you put another players that 437 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: may not even reserve to being the all the fame 438 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: and all the fame, you have to put Clem and 439 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: all the fame. And I know you vote for them filling. 440 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: We don't even need to talk about selling right now. 441 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: He hasn't been dirty. He's done himselves wrong, you know 442 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 1: by opening his mouth, and you know, same bigotos things 443 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: that they're being crazy, Bonds and Clemming. Enough is enough, 444 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: give them the respect that they deserve. They do not 445 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,719 Speaker 1: have to hide in plain sight and not be respected 446 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: for the cowboy player that they had been over their career. 447 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: And that's just how I feel about that.
