1 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: At the Inside Scoop with that FT senior insider Ken Rosenthal, 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: Todd's excited for this, all right, Ken, let's do it. 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: Erk scoogle latest update related to the Brewers that you 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: just posted I found fascinating. 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 2: Right Well, obviously, the Brewers play in the smallest market 6 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 2: in baseball, and a lot of people, including myself, have 7 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 2: questioned whether they could take on Schooble's salary, which at 8 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 2: the deadline will be about nine point four million. That 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: will be what is left. And the answer I got 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: this morning from talking to someone who would have knowledge 11 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: of that, is yes, the salary will not be the problem. 12 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: The problem will be, of course, what the package the 13 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 2: Tigers would want would be. And of course the Tigers 14 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: are asking for teams number one prospects, as you might expect. 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 3: But do they. 16 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 2: Ultimately get that for a rental? I kind of doubt it, 17 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: So we'll see where this goes. 18 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 3: All right? 19 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 4: So are they in line if they're willing to take 20 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 4: the money, are they in line to beat the Dodgers? 21 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 4: What we're hearing is, oh, the Dodgers is going to 22 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 4: wait and your words were wait around the rim and 23 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 4: dunk on the league. They're gonna be lurking here. Do 24 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 4: they have what it takes to get it across? Not 25 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 4: if they're going to do it or not, but do 26 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 4: they have what it takes to push past the Dodgers. 27 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: Oh, they certainly have what it takes. From a prospect standpoint, 28 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: this is the game's number one farm system. But the 29 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: question is how willing would they be to part with 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: some of those prospects and with the Brewers Unlike the Dodgers, 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: those young players are the lifeblood of their organization. That's 32 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: why they can contend year after year. They keep spitting 33 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: these guys out bringing them to the major leagues. So 34 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: from that perspective, yes, they can certainly do it. But again, 35 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: if you're the Dodgers and you're thinking, Okay, we don't 36 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: necessarily need to do this, we don't have to do it. 37 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: But if the Brewers and the Rays and other teams 38 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: are unwilling to cough up their prospects, then the Dodgers 39 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: of course have a great system as well, nine players 40 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: in the top one hundred on MLB dot Com. They 41 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: can obviously do this. They obviously can take the money 42 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: as well. So that's the dynamic that I see here, 43 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: And I might be misreading it. It's always possible at 44 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 2: this time of year. But it's whether the small market teams, 45 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 2: the two of them, the Rays of the Brewers, or 46 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: anyone else that might be involved, would be willing to 47 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: pay the price necessary in the prospects to get schoolable. 48 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: If not, then the Dodgers swoop in. And maybe they 49 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: swoop in at it anyway, I don't really know. 50 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 3: I love that. 51 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 5: I cannot wait to see where he goes. It's gonna 52 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 5: change baseball as we know it for this year. Oh man, 53 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 5: I'm so excited because I thought they should trade him. 54 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 3: For sure. 55 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 5: I'm gonna switch gears here Cincinnati Reads. There's been some 56 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 5: Hunter Green talk. I've been an advocate by saying I 57 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 5: don't want this guy out of there. Maybe I'm a 58 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 5: little biased because I played with him. I love everything 59 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 5: about Cincinnati, Chase Burns and him should be a staple 60 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 5: for the next some odd years to come. What are 61 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 5: your thoughts about Green leaving the Cincinnati Raids and getting traded. 62 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 2: Well, Todd I reported yesterday that they are listening, and 63 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 2: actually they're getting hit on by a number of teams 64 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: interested in Hunter Green. And you can understand that he 65 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: throws a zillion miles an hour, and when right, he's 66 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: not always right physically. Of course, he is one of 67 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: the more talented pitchers in the game. I'm hearing mixed 68 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: on their willingness to actually do something here, and there 69 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: are people telling me, well, yes, if you're overwhelming them 70 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: with the right package, of course they would do it. 71 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: I'm sure that's true. And then there are people saying 72 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: he really isn't available because the price is so high. 73 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: So do I expect him to be traded? I would 74 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: say I would not say that I would expect it, 75 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: but it's possible. 76 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: All right. 77 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 4: Let's go to the north of the border with the 78 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 4: Blue Jays. Are they looking to shed payroll? Are they 79 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 4: looking to make a move that will bolster this team 80 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 4: for twenty twenty seven at this trade deadline? 81 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: Blue Jays are a very intriguing team here. They have 82 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: pieces other players or other teams want, And I'm talking 83 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: about Gossman and Varshow and George Springer and Jeff Hoffman. 84 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: They're not looking to shed payroll necessarily, but the reality 85 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: of their situation is if they trade those guys, they 86 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: will be shedding payroll. And those guys are coming off 87 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 2: the books at the end of the season anyway. So 88 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: the Blue Jays are one of those clubs with the 89 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: ability to yes, make sell type trades while also bringing 90 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,239 Speaker 2: in other players who can help them in twenty seven 91 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: and beyond who are perhaps making some good money. So 92 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 2: they're a team that even this morning, I had someone 93 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: tell me if they have a good weekend against I 94 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 2: believe they're playing the Reds, then maybe they don't sell 95 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: us heavily. I don't know that that's true. But they're 96 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: a team to watch because with the financial flexibility, they 97 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 2: have the payroll flexibility, they're gonna be in position to 98 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: do really any number of things. 99 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 4: All right, what about the Oriels. Do they have to 100 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 4: get they have to win two games against the Phillies 101 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 4: and they're going to be buyers or are we looking 102 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 4: at a selling team. 103 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: I don't believe the Orioles and a number of these 104 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 2: other teams are even looking at it that way. Eric, 105 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: the Oriols are operating as both buyers and sellers, and 106 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: if they find deals in either direction that they like, 107 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: they're going to make those deals. Now, that is a 108 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: complicated thing to manage if you're their president. Baseball operations, 109 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 2: Michael oas but you can understand it in the position 110 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: that they're in, and I would expect a lot of 111 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 2: these contenders you're seeing in this standings right here are 112 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: in kind of the same position. I would expect. Detroit 113 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: is not purely going to sell. Yeah, they might trade school, 114 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: they might trade mines, but who's coming back and what 115 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 2: comes back might help them compete for this year and beyond. 116 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 5: Talk a little about the Dodgers here as we go 117 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 5: here about Otani his injury a little bit. Talk about 118 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 5: what you're hearing there. Is there a little bit more 119 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 5: to it, And is this Dodger team, considering what's going 120 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 5: on with Otani, are they going to be buyers or 121 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 5: sellers as they move forward here? 122 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: Well, the Dodgers are always going to be lurking for 123 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 2: the best players in the game. Andrew Friedman said that 124 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 2: on the record yesterday and we've seen that time and again. 125 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 2: They're going to be involved with Scooble and they'll be 126 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: involved with others. But at the same time, they're in 127 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: a unique spot as they were last year with their 128 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: rotation because Eric Lauer is a guy they picked them 129 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: up kind of on a waiver type deal in late May. 130 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 2: I believe it was. He's pitched really well for them, 131 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: and they don't necessarily need him as a starter going 132 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: forward because Blake Snell's coming back eventually. Tyler Glass now 133 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: and eventually, according to everything the Dodgers say, Shoeo Tani 134 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: will be back on the mound. So they can trade 135 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 2: Eric Lauer in the same way that they traded dustin 136 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: May last year, operating in that sense as a seller. 137 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: They can do the same thing with Alex Call with 138 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 2: Kiky Hernandez coming off the il soon, So you may 139 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 2: see the Dodgers make moves like that. You might see 140 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 2: them take their prospects. They have so many outfield prospects 141 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: and try to rebalance their group of young players by 142 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: trading some outfielders for catchers or infielders or even pitchers 143 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 2: young players prospects. They can do any number of things. 144 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 2: I know, I keep saying that, but that's the reality 145 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: of the deadline. All these teams are operating on multiple fronts. 146 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 4: Buying and selling is rare, but it seems like a 147 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 4: lot are doing it. Getting a catcher at the trade 148 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 4: deadline is rare, but man, so many names keep coming up. 149 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 4: Hunter good Man Ailie Rutschman, Tyler Stevenson, Ryan Jeffers, where's 150 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 4: that market across the game, and will there be multiple 151 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 4: big name catchers moved? 152 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: Eric, That is one of the more intriguing questions that 153 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: we're seeing here. There are a number of teams, some 154 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: big market teams, some prominent teams, the Yankees, the Red Sox, 155 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay. They on need catchers. Other teams do two 156 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: and other teams look at guys like Goodman and Rushman 157 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 2: say well, he's a lot better than what we have. 158 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: Those guys are premium catchers. Will they get moved, That's 159 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: another question. And the price for Goodman is, as it 160 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: should be, rather high. They two are asking for team's 161 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: number one prospects and a trade for a guy who's 162 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: hit thirty plus home runs, three years of control after 163 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: this season. Of course that's what they would want. I 164 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: don't know that he gets moved. I don't know that 165 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: Rushman gets moved. He's currently on the IL. That kind 166 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 2: of complicates matters, Ryan Jeffers, It seems the Twins clearly 167 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: are operating as buyers. They acquired AJ Minter last night. 168 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: I don't see why they would necessarily trade Ryan Jeffers 169 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: and then Tyler Stevenson. Yes, he's a rental who will 170 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 2: go somewhere to some team that needs a catcher. Texas 171 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 2: is another one, and even the Dodgers could use a 172 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 2: catcher with Will Smith's uncertainty, though it seems like he 173 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: is making progress coming back from that neck injury. 174 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 5: New York Mets AJ Minners, Bye bye, see you later. 175 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: Just one move. 176 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 5: Do you think this Mets team is going to make 177 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 5: a plethora of moves after we just saw him leave 178 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 5: the Mets to go to a different organization. 179 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: Plethora is a good word, Todd. And I've set the 180 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: over under its six trades, and I may be on 181 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: the underside. The Mets are obviously operating as an active seller. 182 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 2: We saw the mentor trade. Freddie Peralta is supposed to 183 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 2: pitch tonight. He has been scratched, not because they have 184 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: a deal in place, but because they are getting significant 185 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 2: interest don't want to take any chances. It's the same 186 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: thing the Tigers are doing with Casey miz Now. I 187 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: can see the Mets trading Peralta as well as Clay Holmes, 188 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: who is still working his way back from his fractured fibula. 189 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: Obviously they've traded mintor Brooks Railey, another potential free agent 190 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 2: left handed reliever is almost certain to go. Luis Robert Jr. 191 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 2: Tyrone Taylor. Those are the obvious ones. Then Luke Weaver 192 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 2: is maybe the biggest question because Luke Weaver is a 193 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 2: guy with another year of control. The Mets obviously intend 194 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: to be better next year. They're going to want to 195 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: compete again, and Luke Weaver is one of the best 196 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 2: relievers in the game. If Mason Miller is not traded, 197 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: if Adrian Morejone is not traded by the Padres, maybe 198 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 2: Weaver is the best reliever available, and maybe the Mets 199 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 2: crush it in a trade and just do it. The 200 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 2: Brewers are in on Weaver, the Pirates are in on Weaver, 201 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: and I'm sure other teams are strong as well. 202 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 4: John Mozaylock is the interim GM for the Angels. Is 203 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 4: it easier for teams now to say, hey, we could 204 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 4: possibly get this because they're actually listening, or is John's 205 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 4: just you know, willing to answer the phone the next 206 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 4: the next positive step. 207 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: This is another mystery of the deadline. What the Angels 208 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: are going. 209 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 3: To do now? 210 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: We saw them make one trade the other night, Chase 211 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 2: still Seth and Logo Hoppy going to Texas. But the 212 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: big questions are the relievers with I'm sorry this starting 213 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 2: pitchers with two additional years of control. We're talking about 214 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: Jose Soriano and read Debt Meers and shortstop with an 215 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: additional three years of control. That would be Zach Neto. 216 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: Now do they ain sorry just watching my text here, 217 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: do they actually do something along those lines? I don't know. 218 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 2: But the Angels are a team that John Mozilla has 219 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 2: acknowledged need to make changes, so in that sense, while 220 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 2: he has also said they don't need to rebuild, if 221 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: you want to make change, you do it with some 222 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 2: players like these guys. I just mentioned Soriano, Debts, Neto. 223 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 2: Who are people that will attract good packages for your club? 224 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 3: Guys? 225 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 2: I can think one more? 226 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: Okay, well then I'm gonna take it. So Ken, we've 227 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: got John Fox on Saturday, Yankees in Cubs. So let's 228 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: finish with what to expect with those teams and what 229 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,239 Speaker 1: you might be reporting about. 230 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 2: The Yankees are obviously looking for a bat and they 231 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 2: need one badly. I don't expect them to be big 232 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: in Schooble the other need that they have is bullpen 233 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 2: and if Mason Miller can somehow be pride loose from 234 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 2: San Diego, the Yankees would love to do it. I 235 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: don't know that I see it happening. The Cubs. We 236 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 2: just posted the story saying that they're in on Peralta. 237 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: They're in on all the starting pitchers, including Scooble for 238 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: that matter. And they've gotten by lately with the guys 239 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 2: that they have, and they've done well with it, but 240 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 2: they clearly need more pitching help, both starting in relief, 241 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 2: and that's where their activity is going to lie. 242 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: Okay, Ken, good stuff, Back to the phone. We'll talk 243 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: to you soon.

For me, though, 254 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 4: they cater to what I need tall clothes. Normally, when 255 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 4: I buy tall clothes it's like something that's cumbersome and boxy. 256 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 4: It still fits incredibly well, super light, perfect for the summertime. 257 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 4: They got me all covered. 258 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: Comfortable performance material can be yours.

That's m ackw e L d o N 264 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: dot com code. 265 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 3: F o U L. 266 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: All right, so let's do some trade predictions guys with 267 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: the help of Out of the Park Baseball twenty seven 268 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: based on simulations of the trade deadline, and they're looking 269 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: at how things stand at this point. So we'll show 270 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: a board of some guys on their list of very 271 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: high chance of trade. Some of the guys on this 272 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: list have an eighty two I mean not many, but 273 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: one hundred percent chance of being dealt. We're going to 274 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: do a Blue Jays focus to start here. I'm going 275 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: to rack a few Blue Jays guys in a row. 276 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: So let us begin with Shane Bieber, and I think 277 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: this is cool because teams in their top two right, 278 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: they have about a thirty seven percent chance for Cleveland. 279 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: Then the next highest percent chance they have is the Phillies. Pirates, Brewers, 280 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: White Sox, and Marlins are on this list in terms 281 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: of the simulations that they ran right. They're taking where 282 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: we're at in the standings, how teams are doing where 283 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: the rosters are at, and putting percentage chances of trade destinations. Kratz, 284 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: what do you think about that list? Shane Bieber, I mean, 285 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: the Guardians need offense more than anything, but it doesn't 286 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: mean they can't pick up a starting pitcher. 287 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 4: I think this is where the Phillies have to They 288 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 4: have to sit in this realm because unless they're willing 289 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 4: to somehow trade from their big league roster, I think 290 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 4: this is where the Phillies have to sit. I don't 291 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 4: think the Pirates are as good a fit. I think 292 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 4: if the Brewers find value in a guy that hasn't 293 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 4: been great and says, okay, we can we can do 294 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 4: this with them, I think they could emerge. But I 295 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 4: think they're going to essentially emerge into another Blue Jay pitcher. 296 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 4: So I won't say that yet, but to me, I 297 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 4: think Shane Bieber is a white sock. I think he's 298 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 4: a white sock. I think there's a much it's a 299 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 4: by low type of situation, and we'll see what we 300 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 4: can get from him. And he's got experience to kind 301 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 4: of speak into that young locker room. 302 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: Two start to go, he looked awesome. Then you're doing 303 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: a lot of recency bias. Last start couldn't throw strike, 304 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: but then they said he was having trouble gripping the baseball. No, okay, 305 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm just the messenger. Let's get to 306 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: his teammate. 307 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 3: I don't shoot the messenger. I won't. 308 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: I'm scared to him, Kevin Gossman. So they have the 309 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: Cubs as the heavy favorite in their mind in terms 310 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: of a nice fit. Phillies are on this list again too, 311 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: White Sox, Brewers, Guardians, Twins. They have a of those 312 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: teams forty one point seven percent to Chicago, twenty seven 313 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: point three percent to Philly. This is simulations running. They're 314 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: not going off the reports over the last minute, right, 315 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: But what do you think about some of the potential 316 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: trade destinations for Kevin Gosman here Kratz. 317 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 4: Bruce Bruce, I said it last time. I understand the 318 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 4: other teams. I understand the Cubs are going to be 319 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 4: in there. To me, I think the Cubs need to 320 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 4: be a push for Scooble because I think they see 321 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 4: that they're going to play another another round. They see 322 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 4: that they're not going to catch the Brewers. And I 323 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 4: know before they said unless it's a buye, let's we're 324 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 4: getting to buy in the playoffs, we're not moving in 325 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 4: like to me, Gosman, Gosman plays in the realm or 326 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 4: Gosman's value is in the realm of the Brewers. A 327 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 4: guy who still is racking up strikeouts, he's gotten hurt 328 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 4: a little bit by you know, some things that I 329 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 4: think are out of his out of his normal pitching, 330 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 4: and I think he's going to get back to it 331 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 4: with the next team that he's with. And I think 332 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 4: the Brewers feel like that's that's the next best available 333 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 4: starter that's in our realm, because they probably won't make 334 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 4: the push for Schooble like they think they should. 335 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: Do. You think the Brewers will push for Schooble like 336 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: they should. 337 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 3: I think any team should push for school Ble like 338 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 3: they should. 339 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 5: If they're in it. I think the Brewers, Cubs, Yankees, 340 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 5: I mean, Dodgers. There's tons of teams that can easily 341 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 5: push to get him. It's the right package that they need, 342 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 5: and I honestly I'm ecstatic that, yeah, more than none, 343 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 5: that he's going to get traded because I want him 344 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 5: to go to a team and see if he could 345 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 5: push that team over the brink. I'm hoping it's not 346 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,239 Speaker 5: the Dodgers, so we can have more excitement going on 347 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 5: here and some more competition. But you never ever know 348 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 5: what's going to happen. But yes, I'm excited to see 349 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 5: where school is going to go. 350 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: Let's do one more with Toronto Dalton var Show. I 351 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: know it hasn't been as strong of his season offensively. 352 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: Last year he was among the best in at bat 353 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: per home run ratio. He was seventy something games because 354 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: he was hurt after year, and he hit I think 355 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 1: twenty something homers. I mean he was powerful when he 356 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: was playing this year, not as much there, but he's 357 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: an elite outfielder and he can get hot. So possible 358 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: trade destinations on the list here where the Rangers the 359 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: Phillies are basically on every list of these days, the Rays, 360 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: the Guardians, and the Astros. 361 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: What are you thinking? 362 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 3: You think about the Tampa Bay Rays. 363 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 5: They'll always get pictures that are okay and then they 364 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 5: turn them as superstars. I feel like he can be 365 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 5: a beautiful fit for the Tampa Bay Rays. 366 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 3: Man. 367 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 5: He seems like one of those players that can fit 368 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 5: into the mold of the Rays easy as possible. I 369 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 5: would love to see him go there. This race team 370 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 5: is really good, and I really think that he would 371 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 5: fit into that organization really well. Stop looking at me, Krat. 372 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 4: He's going to the Astros. Look at the Astros production 373 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 4: and say, are they willing to give up on the 374 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 4: defense that they're getting. It's one of the best. I 375 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 4: think it's one of the best defensive outfields in the game. 376 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 4: And they're gonna be like, Okay, we know we're gonna 377 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 4: stay in this lane. I think we're gonna stay there, 378 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 4: and I think we're going to I think they're gonna 379 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 4: have a lot of conversation about Gosman and Bieber, the 380 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 4: Astros themselves, and then it will end up landing on 381 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 4: Dalton Bar Show. 382 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 3: Not bad I don't mind that. 383 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: Let's get to a reliever, Luke Weaver. Possible trade destinations 384 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: on this list they put the percentage chance for this 385 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: is funny to me. The Yankees high up raised Phillies, 386 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: Astros and Red Sox. 387 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 3: Wouldn't that be something, huh? 388 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: Bring them back and forth in New York. 389 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 3: He wouldn't have to move, Nope, wouldn't have to move. 390 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 3: Another race fit. 391 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: I actually think it's a really good race fit. You 392 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: know why. So Luke Weaver can go multiple innings like 393 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: he can eat innings in the bullpen for you at 394 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: in a high leverage scenario, really good bounce back eye. 395 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: Right next day you see him pitch as well. Like 396 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: It's it's tougher to find that these days. And for 397 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. The concern that I think things a little 398 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: bit underrated with this team right now is the rotation. 399 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: Shane McClanahan left the game what yesterday. I think he's 400 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: okay with the back and he's dealt with a lot 401 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Du Rasmusen has head an 402 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: injury checkered past. Nick Martinez is kind of more of 403 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: the rock in the rotation. Even Griffin Jacks Krats is great, 404 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: but he's a converted reliever. A lot of the guys 405 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm listing right now might need to ease their way 406 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: into October and not get the heavy workload down the 407 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: stretch so that they're at their prime come playoff season. 408 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: Get some veterans in your bullpen to help for a 409 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: race team that certainly knows how to rely on their 410 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: bullpen a little bit more down the stretch if need be, 411 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: so that their starters are firing from all cylinders. 412 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 4: So you're saying you think Luke Weaver to. 413 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: The Rays, I'm saying, if I'm Tampa Bay, I need 414 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: to get some veteran arms, bullpen and starting rotation. I 415 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: know that they're going to try and pick up a bat, 416 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: but I just think it's a team that is going 417 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: to look to pick up some innings more so than 418 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 1: they're being pegged right now. Right What's you know how 419 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: we label every team right guardians need outfield that the 420 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: Phillies in and outfield bat, right handed hitter, Red Sox 421 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: now again looking for a right handed infielder for me 422 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: with the rais what would be the first thing you say, like, hey, 423 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: it's top heavy, there's there's Yandi, and there's Ronda, and 424 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: there's Junior. Like, we need to give those guys a 425 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: little bit of help in the second half of the lineup. 426 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 3: There. 427 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: For me, I'm like, wait, hold up, I just need 428 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: to make sure that this rotation is going to be 429 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: in the right place for October. We're going to supplement 430 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: it with rotation help and with veteran relievers. 431 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 3: No, I don't. 432 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 4: I don't agree with the weaver for one reason, he's 433 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 4: got eleven million dollars left on his contract next year, 434 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 4: eleven million. More like they didn't bring back Pete Fairbanks, 435 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 4: and I think his number was eleven million. I think 436 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 4: there is a world where I think, yes, they do 437 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 4: want some innings. I think they find those innings in 438 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 4: different guys that they're going to say, you know what, 439 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 4: We'll bring in a starter who can throw four for us, 440 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 4: who can throw five for us, possibly in the regular season. 441 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 4: To me, their biggest their biggest thing is probably five 442 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 4: through nine in the batting order. Where are they going 443 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 4: to get any kind of production? And I don't know 444 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 4: what that looks like. I do love what Todd said 445 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 4: about Dalton varshow he's been in the division. You know 446 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 4: he can get those. He can be that stick. He 447 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 4: doesn't necessarily need to be the leadoff guy, but he 448 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 4: runs the base as well, which is something that the 449 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,239 Speaker 4: team likes. I just don't see that eleven minute if 450 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 4: this was Luke Weavers last year of his contract, one 451 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 4: hundred percent yes, But again, the Rays get rid of 452 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 4: dudes like this, so I don't see him taking on 453 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 4: eleven million for next year. 454 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: That's fair on the money side. Let's keep moving. This 455 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: is a crap's special right here. We picked this one 456 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: out on purpose. This is, in my mind, someone who 457 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: is not necessarily going to get moved. It's a team 458 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: that is among the most bubblicious right now, the Baltimore Orioles, 459 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: because there's part of them that's like, hey, this really 460 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: hasn't worked out the way we want it to, but 461 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: there's front office heat and there's a chance they. 462 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 3: Go on a little bit run. 463 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: They've definitely played better in the last month or so 464 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: than they did at the start of the season. You 465 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: know who I'm talking about, Kratz. He was on the 466 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: high percentage chance to get traded list here from Out 467 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: of the Park twenty twenty seven. Taylor Ward. 468 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 4: I mean I think this is a slam dunk. There's 469 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 4: a slam dunk. I don't think Taylor Ward runs the 470 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 4: bases very well. I don't think he plays defense very well. 471 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 4: But I think he has twenty homers for the last 472 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 4: two months of the season. I think he goes to. 473 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 4: I think he goes to. He's just for whatever reason, 474 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 4: because I don't think Anaheim is the easiest place to 475 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 4: hit dingers out of, unless you're a righty that goes 476 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 4: apo shorter, lower fence they have there. But he had 477 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 4: thirty nine pumps last year. I see this as slam dunk. 478 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 4: If you're talking about my one five star trade five 479 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 4: star lock, we're going Philadelphia Phillies. I just think that 480 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 4: right handed bat I think will enable them to say, okay, 481 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 4: we have Derek Hill still. You know, we could get 482 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 4: seven innings of offense out of Taylor Ward and Derek 483 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 4: Hill can come in and play defense, Brandon marsh can 484 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 4: slide around. He's struggling right now, he needs to pick 485 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 4: it up. But I think this is the Phillies move, 486 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 4: and I think in citizens Bank not being the major 487 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 4: piece of that that lineup, I think he pops a 488 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 4: few dingers a little bit better bat, a little bit 489 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 4: better zone discipline this year, and the Phillies need any 490 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 4: kind of zone discipline that they can find. 491 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: Do you like Cleveland on that list. I'm gonna play 492 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: the money game with me, like they won't pay for it. 493 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 5: I do. 494 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 3: No, No, I do like that. 495 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 4: I think place. I really do, because I think they're 496 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 4: they're able to deploy it out because athleticism is there 497 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 4: for for Cleveland. 498 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, and they need a right handed bat too, and 499 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 5: that would move Kwan into center field, and he'd played 500 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 5: left field. 501 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 4: In my opinion, it's a big tough left field in Cleveland. 502 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 4: That's my issue. They love the athleticism, whether whether they 503 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 4: try to be athletic or the fact that they don't 504 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 4: pay enables their team to be continually athletic. I just 505 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 4: think there is I think I think that would be 506 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 4: their fear in that case, Like he's not like they're 507 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 4: not picking up Edwin and Carnassion from the right side, 508 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 4: you know, and say, ah, damn the the athleticism, We're 509 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 4: just going we're just going straight to the power. I 510 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 4: don't think he has that. I think it's possible, but 511 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 4: I don't know that that's that would be my only 512 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 4: fear that of the Guardians saying that we're not going 513 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 4: to pick them up. 514 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, that looks like a good fit. I mean the 515 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: lineup is switch hitters and lefties for the most part. 516 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: With their a lineup, go get yourself a little righty 517 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: pop like this that everyone's looking for. Ramirez recently, back 518 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: on holl Martinez said a really good year for them 519 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: until he went down. He just got back. I think 520 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: this would help. I'd like to see Cleveland get one 521 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: bat there. But I'm with you, Krats. I mean, Philly's 522 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: definitely going to do something. This definitely screams Philly power. 523 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: All right, fun game.

I did hear 541 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 5: some rumblings about Trout. I wanted to. 542 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: Ask, No, I don't think I think that's the line 543 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: for them. I mean, you'd love to see it, but 544 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so Okay, No, I think. 545 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 5: If it happens, you guys are gonna say, wow, Todd, 546 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 5: you know your stuff. 547 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: Well, you know the man personally. 548 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 5: And I'm not saying I haven't talked to him in months. 549 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 5: I'm hearing some rumblings about where something might go. So 550 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 5: really I'm hoping it might happen. 551 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 4: Yo, Todd, Yo, what's Trout gonna do? 552 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 3: Yo? 553 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 4: Is he coming back to the East Coast? And I'd 554 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 4: love to see it? Watching Mike, it's too late. 555 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 5: And listen I could be way off. I could be 556 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 5: way off, but I would love to see him traded, 557 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 5: is what I'm saying. 558 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: One day he might be, but I don't think it's yet. 559 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: That's my thought process here. 560 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 3: This game's been crazy, so we'll see it. 561 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: Has and this trade deadline season will be crazy. And 562 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: when we talk about hey, buyers or sellers or both, 563 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: I think that terminology is going to apply even to 564 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: the big teams here, right, Like can again reiterated how 565 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: a team like the Dodgers have Eric Lower and there 566 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: was a couple people in the chat that were like, 567 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: the Dodgers should keep Eric Lower. I'm like, yeah, ideally, 568 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: but sure if so many starters and eventually he might 569 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: get bumped out of that role. It's great to have 570 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,239 Speaker 1: the depth, but then I guess you have to put 571 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: him in the bullpen. And even the bullpen gets pretty 572 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,959 Speaker 1: crowded there for La Crafts. So when you look at 573 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: a team like that, you still want them to acquire prospss. 574 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: Guess what they've done really well? You know, remember how 575 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: we did this for a long time with the Raids, 576 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: Like if the Raids call about a trade, hang up. 577 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: The Dodgers have been swiping prospects in trades. It's actually 578 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: a very underrated thing over the past I don't know, 579 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: five to seven years. 580 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 3: You don't hear about it though, because of what they've 581 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 3: been getting. 582 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: But they've gotten a lot in trades from other teams 583 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: where you're like, wait, what, how did they the Dodgers 584 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: are buying. No, they also sell pieces and they still 585 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: pick up. 586 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 3: Some shit. 587 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 4: And they want and I think they'll be more advantageous 588 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 4: at this trade deadline in that realm because of the 589 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 4: whole Anthony Bonda, Like they basically just had to give 590 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 4: him away because they ran out of spots for him 591 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 4: come the end of spring training this year. 592 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 3: Like they liked him. 593 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 4: They I talked to somebody with the Dodgers and they 594 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 4: were like, we don't want to get rid of them, 595 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 4: but they had they only have forty spots, and so 596 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 4: I think I would be surprised if they don't make 597 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 4: some roster move shifts saw that stuff and not add 598 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 4: this massive, massive piece. 599 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: I've got one more trivia question I want to finish 600 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: the show with. I was just looking around at teams 601 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: and who could be traded and all of that, right, 602 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna focus on a specific statistic, but it's 603 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: a very well known stat slugging percentage. Do you guys 604 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: want to take any kind of guess on what the 605 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: top five looks like right now in the sport for 606 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: slugging percentage? 607 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 4: You're not out. 608 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: He is number one by far at six point forty 609 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: forver Twover's not in there. 610 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 3: A guy that pregnant. 611 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 2: He is in there, bed. 612 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: Under Goodman seventh.
