71
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,680

72
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: are fine. You worry about how how Edwin d has

73
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,160

Speaker 1: Now I get to call him Timmy L. Trumpet.

75
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 4: It's kind of fun three years, sixty nine million dollars

76
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 4: to do that when your former team didn't engage allegedly

77
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 4: until the last twenty four to forty eight hours and

78
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 4: didn't want to meet your terms expectations, and the Dodgers said, hey,

79
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: thank you very much.

80
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: All right now let me give you. Let me give

81
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: the reality here, because I'm gonna give you. I know

82
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: you think I'm going one way on this, and I'm not,

83
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: because I've told you you are wearing a missing if

84
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: you listen to what I've talked about Edwin Diaz the

85
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: last few years, I will tell you this. Number One,

86
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: everybody who lost their minds today. It was all over

87
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: social media, the Mets with the number one trend. How

88
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: do you let Edwin DZ go? How do you let

89
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: Edwin die? It's awful you let Edwin ds go off

90
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: of Okay, time out for one second. I'm the biggest

91
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: Mets fan in the world. Maybe he wanted to go

92
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers because I understand wanting to go to

93
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I really do, and I think every baseball

94
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: fan understands, well, if I can get to the Dodgers,

95
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: they clearly have shown the last decade, they win World Series,

96
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: they win National League penance, and I want to be

97
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: part of that. So I there's only so much you

98
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: can do. It's well what we're gonna do? Right, Because

99
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: this gets to the second part of it is that, Okay,

100
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: maybe he wanted to be a don Clearly he did

101
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: because the Mets money. Mets did the same thing they've

102
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: been doing with Pete A. Lonzo is at hey, let

103
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: us see what the money is at hey, three years

104
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: sixty nine million for the Dodgers and the Mets. That

105
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: we can do about the same stuff. Right there. Offer

106
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: was three years and sixty six million. They had some

107
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: money deferred. The Dodgers had some money deferred, but in

108
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: the end, Edwin Diaz wanted to go be a Dodger,

109
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: So okay, so he's there. The second thing is this,

110
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: I am really okay saying goodbye to Edwin Diaz. I

111
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: really am because Edwin Diaz has been I would say

112
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: sometimes he's been great and sometimes he's not been. His

113
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: first year with the Mets was awful. His second year

114
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: was fantastic, got a big contract, third year got hurt

115
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: out for the year, next year was terrible. Last year

116
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: he was really good. He's an every other year reliever.

117
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna give one hundred million dollars to

118
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: a guy for the ninth inning who's been as volatile

119
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: and up and down as Edwin Diaz because this is

120
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: what the guy does. Yes, sometimes he comes in it's one, two, three.

121
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's why does he have to walk the first

122
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: two guys? Why does he have to hit a guy?

123
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: Why is it throw a wild pitch? Right? You talk

124
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: about is his wild pitches and and and uh uh

125
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: and and another and other uh uh situations that he

126
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: comes into that's not clearly I can throw strikes and

127
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: get out of situations like I think last year he

128
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: had to combine fifteen or seventeen hit by pitches and

129
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: wild pitches. Right, So that's like every every three innings

130
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: he gives you what he gives you one, one, one

131
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: or both of those. Right. He's a very volatile reliever,

132
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: and he's coming off a great year. So is he

133
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: gonna be great again? Yeah? Maybe, but maybe not because

134
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: as we've seen with relief pictures, it's very common to

135
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: see guys I have a great year, but I was overused.

136
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: My next year is not great, then I'm bounced back

137
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: a year after that. Relief pictures from year to year

138
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: are really difficult. You're trying to catch lightning in a

139
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: bottle and you're trying to catch guys on the upswing.

140
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: So that's why, Hey, we'll give Devin Williams fifty million

141
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: dollars because we saw him be really, really good two

142
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: years ago. Last year not so great. But we know

143
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: we can fix him. We're on the upswing. We're not

144
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: spending as much money as what on Edwin Diz. So

145
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: I get it. I get not give what's the money

146
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: to give Edwin Diaz? You're gonna give seventy five million

147
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: dollars to him to close for four years, you're gonna

148
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: do that. I mean, you have other needs to figure

149
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: out that are bigger than the ninth inning. Not the

150
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: ninth inning's not a big deal, but you have other

151
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: needs that are bigger than figuring out the ninth inning,

152
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: especially with a guy that every time he came in

153
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: you didn't know what you were gonna get from year

154
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: to year, right, because that's what he's been. Great, terrible, injured, terrible, great. Okay,

155
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really okay with not giving him one hundred

156
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: million dollar contract just to keep him in in Queens.

157
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, let's keep that Edwin Diaz. That's okay.

158
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: I am okay with him going. And congratulations to the

159
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: Dodgers for forgetting Edwin Diaz. It's awesome. I'll get to

160
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: see him here, sincerely, I'll get to hear Narco. I'll

161
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: get to hear Narco and you will be sweating him

162
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,119
Speaker 1: like we sweated ken Lee Jansen for the seven year running.

163
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: Had a Dodger closer, you thought sweating Kenley's possible. This

164
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be sweating like Robert Hayes an airplane in that.

165
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 4: But he's just then his.

166
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 3: Head like kimberl and Jansen at the same time.

167
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's like they bought like some sort of

168
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: super vultron to throw right and lefty. That's how much

169
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: you're going to be sweating Edwin Diaz this year.

170
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 4: The curiosity is how do you follow up the magnificence

171
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: that he was. You mentioned the hit by pitches in

172
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: the wild pitch. Yeah, it got to fifteen in his

173
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 4: sixty six innings of work. Still a whip of about

174
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 4: point eight five eight six, whatever it was, and a

175
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 4: strong era four point six strikeouts per walk, all of

176
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 4: those metrics that are fantastic. And when we're talking about

177
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 4: the Mets, we're talking about the Dodgers, we're also talking

178
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 4: about a couple of teams that play in a different

179
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 4: it's the same game, different sport or vice versa. However

180
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: you want to do it, because there's only so many

181
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 4: teams that can play in the Hey, we have the luxury.

182
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 4: We already signed a reliever. What about this other guy. Yeah,

183
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 4: we could go in for that, but he wanted to

184
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 4: feel loved and evidently felt more love with the Dodgers.

185
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: Talk about change of scenery, opportunity, the winning and consistency

186
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 4: that is there versus some of the uncertainty in Metsland

187
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: as we have the re signing of Babe Schwarber there

188
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia. But all of that to say three for

189
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 4: sixty nine. Look, last year, the Dodgers went in on

190
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 4: a couple of closers and they said, Yeah, that didn't work.

191
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: That's fine, Let's do it again because they can well.

192
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: And that's the thing, and that's the part about closers

193
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: that people don't get is that just because you get

194
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: a guy with a great year the year before, everybody

195
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: thinks that every every closer when they hit the big

196
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: time is Rivera and Hoffman and they're not right. Oh,

197
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: Josh Hater, Josh Hater's not Josh Hater anymore. Right. You

198
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: get guys that they get up there, they have a

199
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: couple of big years, they get figured out, they're up,

200
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: They're down, They're up there down. That's how it goes.

201
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz is the quintessential superstar closer in Major League Baseball.

202
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: Year to year, his production varies wildly, and we're coming

203
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: off a big year. So okay, am, I am I

204
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: okay with seeing him go I am because this is

205
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: how it goes. With the relief pictures you're you're really

206
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: you are trying to catch lightning in a bottle with

207
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: relief pictures every year. And we thought last year, right,

208
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: just for the Dodgers, all the look at this move

209
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, the Dodgers and Dodgers. Yeah, okay, yeah, great

210
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: move on paper. We were saying the same things last

211
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: year when it was Tanner Scott and all of a sudden,

212
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: they have three closers, And now how you're gonna beat

213
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: this Dodger bullpen? Now they got three o'clock. The end

214
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: of the year, was anybody close, Roki Sasaki come in

215
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: and close. We have nobody else. Right, Just when you

216
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: think they had it all settled, they were still looking

217
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: for guys, desperate for guys at the end of the year.

218
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: Just so when you understand Edwin Diaz, that's kind of weird.

219
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 4: No, but that's it, right, it's but it's the ability

220
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 4: to adapt and move, recognize your your bad decisions. We

221
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 4: talk about it all the time, sunk costs of things

222
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 4: that went badly. Dodgers. Look at the guys that they

223
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 4: signed last offseason. None of them were active for the

224
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 4: playoffs because they stunk. They just said no, no, you

225
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 4: guys are We don't know, no need you you know

226
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 4: Canfordo and I know a bunch of that money came

227
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 4: off the books is what people forget as well, right,

228
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 4: Clayton Kershaw Conforida like all this stuff. You know, you're

229
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 4: looking at players that it really amassed a pretty good

230
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 4: pay rate when it's all said and done.

231
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: But for the Dodgers, you.

232
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 4: Look at the and evaluate what you have sasaki by

233
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 4: all estimations.

234
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: Right, where is the fourth or fifth in your rotation

235
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: this year?

236
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 5: Right?

237
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 4: And they'll move there unless they have to do another

238
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 4: break glass in case of emergency, because you already have

239
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: proof of concept that it's not too big for him

240
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 4: if he needs to do that. But you have the

241
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 4: opportunity to go into the marketplace. Mets already signed a guy,

242
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 4: and maybe Edwin Diaz was a little salty about that

243
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 4: because once upon a time before you broke him and

244
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 4: we had that video that went viral a little bit.

245
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: Thank you to everybody that found that in TikTok and

246
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 4: land in instagram of you broke him, and now you

247
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 4: get to bring him back and try to repair him

248
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 4: like the six million dollar man. You know, it's a

249
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: little more expensive, bigger faster, stronger.

250
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: But it's that idea. It's funny you say that. I

251
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: actually listened to the ninth inning of that game driving

252
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: in tonight like I was. So, I'm like, no, I'm

253
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: cool man. You know what, Oh traffic, I'm gonna listening

254
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: to the ninth inning of the Mets Brewers from two

255
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: years ago. I'll listened at ninth inning and I'm and

256
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm calling this. I'm calling the play by play for

257
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: Howie Rose. This is not the dominant Williams that we

258
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: have seen before. It was great to put me in

259
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: a great.

260
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 4: Coming out well, but sometimes sometimes you go back and

261
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 4: find your biggest wins, and for Jason, that's that's where

262
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 4: he decided to Listen. Dude, I gotta go back to

263
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 4: eighty five or two thousand and five. That's all I got.

264
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: That's it.

265
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: Brighter days though. The White Sox have the number one

266
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 4: pick in the draft, but wow, you know what on it?

267
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: And I can be honest, I thought, going on a

268
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: go how long until Harmon mentions the White SOA's got

269
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft? I said, first

270
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: ninety seconds, you made it. Ten minutes I was waiting,

271
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: I said, you guys, gonna get in the first ninety

272
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna get that in now you make ten minutes.

273
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 4: I mean, thoughts here on Edwin Diaz, Right, the greatness

274
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: nice of whether the trumpeteer is now on the team payroll.

275
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: But I'd bean, look, it's a it's a great signing

276
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: on paper. He's a terrific reliever, but he's not the

277
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: model of consistency. If he was, if he was year

278
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: to year forty saves an era under two and his

279
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: war was three, the Mets would have given him another

280
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. He would have stayed. But he's not.

281
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: And I think the fact that the Mets know him

282
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: more than anybody and they still said, well, we would

283
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: like you if you are this kind of guy. They

284
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: feel they can eminently replace him. And I'm fine with it.

285
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: It was I was a little upset to them. Everybody

286
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: saw all the Mets let him go, to the Mets,

287
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: let him go. The Mets have bigger problems than ninth inning.

288
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: Well again, right, it becomes the you know what's the

289
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: tipping point?

290
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: Was it a non engagement period that he thought he

291
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 4: would get more love, right, because feelings are real. I mean,

292
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 4: look at look at the guy. Look at our guy, Bivaqua,

293
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 4: he's still crying. I think he has a press conference

294
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 4: schedule for tomorrow morning to talk about how Rudolph didn't

295
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 4: get to play in the rain to your games or something. So, uh,

296
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 4: you know you've got that part of it, the human

297
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: side of it. Devid Williams shows up and it's like, well,

298
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 4: what about me? Like why are we not taking care

299
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: of me and my needs? And whether it comes down

300
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 4: to years and dollars or there's a divide there that

301
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 4: the Dodgers decided to give him the the higher average

302
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: value a twenty three a year. And let's face it,

303
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 4: it's Los Angeles. They win a lot. You're gonna have

304
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 4: a lot of opportunities, and uh, if you win, big boy,

305
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 4: you're a hero. Immediately you'll get look at all these guys, right,

306
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 4: great move by the Dodgers, But understand that's that that's

307
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: what you're gonna get with Edwin Diaz.

308
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna get great games. You're gonna get games where

309
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: you say, what the hell is going on here? And

310
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: you're just coming off a great year. You thought you

311
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: had the bullpen solve next Look, great move on paper,

312
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you what. Nobody knows the guy who

313
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: seeing the guy ups and downs in better than I do.

314
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you I'm okay with him going. I

315
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: really am. But he's a closer. Mariano Rivera is not

316
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: walking through that door.

317
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: Hall of Famer slinging Billy Wagner in the regular season

318
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 4: for is not walking through that door. Trevor Howkmins not

319
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 4: walking through that That's it, That's all you got. Otherwise

320
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 4: I gotta go back to suitor.

321
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: You just wait, rolly fingers, sure, it's a long time. Wait, Okay,

322
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: it's all right. Cross be damn you man.

323
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: You're dancing the Narcos like a flamingo.

324
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: You think he's gonna flip and suddenly do like a

325
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 4: college recruit where suddenly he's.

326
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: A Dodger fan because of Edwin Diaz. Uh no, yeah, no, no, no,

327
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: no not Can he be the guy that was great? No,

328
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: you don't learn to play the trumpet. No, no, no, no,

329
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: I'll tell you Diaz really good. It's okay that he's gone.

330
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: Telling you it's okay that he's gone. Of course it is,

331
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: because he's good. It's okay.

332
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 4: But unless they I mean, if Devin Williams isn't fixed though.

333
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 4: By the end of April, you're singing a different tune.

334
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 4: They get Suarez, They're gonna get somebody else. They have

335
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 4: somebody else in my trust me, trust me, everything is fine.

336
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: It's okay. They didn't do this, It's okay. You want

337
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: a guy coming in that's on the upswing, that could

338
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: be on a big year. You get a guy coming

339
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: off a bad year who has alternated good bed every

340
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: single year. What do you think is gonna happen?

341
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 5: Like?

342
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: No, what bet on the Giants to win the World

343
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: Series and the teens when they were coming off the

344
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: World Series? They bet on them the year after when

345
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: they're stunk, and then it won the next year. Telling

346
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: you that's what I'm okay with Diz going good luck.

347

403
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: It's not Timmy L. Yeah, no, I think that. I

404
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: think the woman on the billboard has been there. Wait,

405
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: like the soloists like forever. That's like a twenty year

406
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: old picture on the side of the room.

407
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 4: Does that get refurbished like a bridge, like every every

408
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 4: year they go and touch it up?

409
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta know. So maybe the most unwise

410
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: unretirement we've seen in the NFL in quite some time.

411
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is official. He is unretiring from the NFL.

412
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: Remember he walked away in twenty twenty, his seventeenth year

413
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: in the league. He is rejoining the Colts on their

414
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: practice squad amid an injury crisis. It's left them without

415
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: all of their quarterbacks, right Anthony Richardson. Remember he was

416
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: on the injured list with a facial injury earlier this season.

417
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: He's still not ready to come back. Daniel Jones done

418
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: for the year with the torn achilles Riley Leonard week

419
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: to week with a knee injury. He worked out for

420
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: the Colts last night and on his forty fourth birthday,

421
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: and the Colts decide, yeah, we're going in on Philip

422
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: Rivers right now. See this is why this is a

423
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: bad idea, because immediately can you get mad about it

424
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: for me and just turns out screaming. You go and

425
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: look at the Colts schedule and you say, oh, this

426
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: is not gonna go. How Philip Rivers thinks it's gonna go.

427
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: First of all, you're at Seattle on some day. Now,

428
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: maybe he plays in that game, maybe not. Then he

429
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: got San Francisco Jack's and at Houston. I mean, I

430
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to watch game week

431
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: eighteen or if I don't want to watch, because my goodness,

432
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: the Texans right now are taking bets on sacks and interceptions.

433
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: I mean, this is his time to get rid of

434
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: the ball, that's the question. I mean, we've got to

435
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: be like one point four seconds gone. Now, look, I'll

436
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: give you there's a little bit of a sliver of

437
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: sunnyside before I tell you why this is a horrible idea. Look,

438
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: when the Colts got Daniel Jones in the offseason, that's

439
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: why I said, hey, they're my long shot pick for

440
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, because Daniel Jones will work in this

441
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: offense and they have enough playmakers and he'll be able

442
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: to do it. And what happened. First eight weeks, Colts were great.

443
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: They were the best team in football. Right, they were

444
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: one bead ad Ni Mitchell drop ball away from being undefeated.

445
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: Now the hard times have hit and they're desperate because

446
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: they went in. They went in to get Sauce Garter.

447
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: They made a big trade for that, and now that's

448
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: not really working out. That becomes a bigger thing for

449
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: the future of the squad. Right, because you thought you

450
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: had your quarterbacks. Daniel Jones is going to take a year.

451
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, to get ready. You don't make

452
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: that trade for a sauce gardener unless you think Daniel

453
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: Jones is our long term solution. We're pushing all in.

454
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to try to win it this year,

455
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 4: four to five the secondary and we'll give up those picks.

456
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 4: And now you're kind of a Nomad's like, now, Daniel

457
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 4: Jones will probably come back on a song sweetheart deal.

458
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 4: Yeah right, he'll probably come back somewhere like what like

459
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 4: probably another one year.

460
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: Fifty whatever, see when he comes back together. But it's

461
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: I get the desperation and I get the idea that

462
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: romanticism of here comes Philip Rivers, Here comes Philip Rivers. Here,

463
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: here comes Philip Rivers, who played okay enough in twenty twenty.

464
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: But you saw at the end, he was at the end,

465
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: and yes they threw the football. Well, Philip Rivers. Look

466
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback, right, Philip Rivers, he was great.

467
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: He's forty four. He's been away from the game for

468
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: five years. Okay, understand that, Like a lot of people

469
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: get confused when, oh, they hear a name and they

470
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: look at the back of his football card and say,

471
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: we're getting a superstar. You're not getting the Philip Rivers

472
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: of two thousand and seven. You're not get the Philip

473
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: Rivers of twenty fifteen. Not in the Philip Rivers. You're

474
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: getting a guy who's been out of the league for

475
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: five years. And it's not like he went out of

476
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: the league at twenty two and he went on some

477
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: kind of you know, walk about and now I'm back.

478
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: Now he's forty four. Man, how do you think this

479
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: is gonna go? I really I want to know what

480
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: the hell could he possibly have showed them in his

481
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: tryout to say, yes, we're gonna sign Philip Rivers. I

482
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: don't there's guys on practice squads across the league that

483
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: are younger, that have more reps that you'd be better

484
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: signing a third string guy off of somebody's roster to

485
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: bring him in, right, I mean, this is not gonna

486
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: go how you think it is. I get that people

487
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: love it because it's a name from the past that's

488
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: coming back. And when you hear Philip rivers name, immediately

489
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: you're five to ten to fifteen years younger because you

490
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: remember his prime. So it sounds great to you. Whatever

491
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: that that that chemical in your brain is that that

492
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: makes you happy you hear about something in the past.

493
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 1: It's why it's scope. I got a good book on it.

494
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: It's it's fun. It's why people, you know, when they

495
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: get old, they talk about the past because okay, because

496
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: I was younger, and oh things are better when I

497
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: was younger. Yeah, things are better when you're younger because

498
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: you were younger and you were more outgoing and doing things.

499
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: I get her. This is just five years right, we're

500
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: going back the philip Rivers. You are getting what do

501
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: you really think you're gonna get hurt? I don't know

502
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: what the hell are the Colts? Like? I mean it,

503
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: man like this, like, I feel like the Colts ran

504
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: this team in the off season, and they ran it

505
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: really well, and all of a sudden the spotlight got

506
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: on them and they wilt it because they panicked to

507
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 1: make a big trade for Sauce Gardner. And now they

508
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: panic to make this move for Philip Rivers. And I'm saying,

509
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: what are they doing they? Is the world spinning too

510
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: fast them? Because I think it is because I don't

511
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: know in what world. Hey, he's familiar with the offense.

512
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: Oh so other guys couldn't come in and grab the offense.

513
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean they have good playmakers and watch Daniel Jones

514
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: come in. So I get while you think, well, we

515
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: can have a few guys come in and do well.

516
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: But again, forty four not in football shit. You talk

517
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: about guys being in football shape, not being in football shape.

518
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: That are guys who are twenty four to twenty five,

519
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: but they miss a month and a half of training

520
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: camp and it's well, hey, God has some time to

521
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: get back and really not going to be this this

522
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: player until the middle later part of the season because

523
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: they missed so much. Got to get back in football. Show.

524
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: Five years he's been gone, and it's not like he's

525
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: been working out all the time. Hey, I'm ready to

526
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: come back. I'm ready to come back, Ready to come back,

527
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,479
Speaker 1: Ready to come back. It's not Colin Kaepernick where you got.

528
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm still working out. It's still working out. This is

529
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: he's been coaching football and having more kids. Also, Hey,

530
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm right, like what, I don't understand what the Colts

531
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get with this. I don't.

532
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 4: I don't understand seven thirty two and eighteen seconds before

533
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 4: you uh you mentioned Kaepernick because I knew that would

534
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 4: come up as it did.

535
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: Of course, of the last years. You know the guys

536
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: that are working out, right, not not that you know

537
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: Kaepernick's a bad idea too, because he's been gone for

538
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: even longer. What I'm saying is that there's guys who

539
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: are still working Yeah. No, I hear about the kickers

540
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: all the time, right, I've been kicking on this high

541
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: scho field, looking waiting for the chance, waiting for the chance.

542
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: All of a sudden they call up, they get a

543
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: chance out there. They're an all pro kicker and they've

544
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: got like a five year, fifteen million, good old young

545
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: way coup.

546
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 4: He was out of the league and then became accurate

547
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: and then well he was out of the league.

548
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: But bach, hey, he had a good run. Dude, he

549
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: kicked the ground. Yeah, but he had the ground. Yeah,

550
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: until he kicked the ground. He had a good run.

551
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: He kicked the ground.

552
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 5: Man.

553
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 4: No, it's okay, But that's the thing. It will always

554
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: be remembered. We all want to be remembered one way.

555
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 4: I mean, how you're remembered. You can't choose. But for

556
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 4: Philip Rivers, it comes down to this, right Obviously, at

557
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 4: lot's been made. He and Stike and talk talk about

558
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 4: the offense similarities of what he runs with the high

559
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 4: school team that just had its twelve and one season

560
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 4: and everything else, and yeah.

561
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: I agree with you.

562
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 4: There's probably a guy on a practice squad, whether it's

563
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 4: Bailey Zappi or somebody else, that would be a more

564
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 4: easily insert here. If you're looking for a full, full

565
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 4: skill set as it were. Philip Rivers has it run

566
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 4: in forever. He was a guy that they couldn't run

567
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 4: a quarterback sneak with, so it's not like he's diminished

568
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: in any of that part of it.

569
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 1: Can he drop back?

570
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones the last couple of weeks on a broken

571
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 4: leg couldn't run either, so they had to change the offense.

572
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 4: I'm not saying this ends well, it starts with Seattle.

573
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 4: You can get to run him out here against that squad, no,

574
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 4: thank you, But it's the I'm captivated by it for sure.

575
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 4: I'd love the behind the scenes. This is where I

576
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 4: need an in season hard knocks of Well, we can

577
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 4: call Phil. I talked to Phil every week. Let's get

578
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 4: inmate here for work out. Look at the arm might

579
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 4: still be live and have four weeks in.

580
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: Did they sit down Sunday night and say, Okay, we're

581
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: gonna order food and no idea is stupid, right, like

582
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: no ideas to put it up on the board that

583
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: someone said, Hey Burt Jones, Nah, Burt Jones a long

584
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: time ago. Yeah he was good. Yeah, but I'm no,

585
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, Okay, Mike Pagel, No, Mike Pagel a

586
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: little too long ago, Archleister, No non starter. No. Now

587
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: with gambling, it's a bigger problem too. Oh maybe now

588
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: he can come back, though gambling is more?

589
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 5: Is more?

590
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: Okay, do Philip Rivers? Hey, wait a minute, Hey wait, wait,

591
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: wait wait wait, you might have something there, Philip Rivers, Hey,

592
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty was pretty good. Twenty twenty was not yesterday. Okay,

593
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: you're going back to the beginning.

594
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 4: In twenty four and eleven, I think was his final

595
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 4: touchdown to intersection.

596
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: End, and I remember him at the end. I remember

597
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: him in the last game of the playoff games. Ooh,

598
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: he's he's he's done.

599
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: No, I mean on the plus side, Look, he might

600
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 4: be the human jugs gun for the the receivers there

601
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 4: with his high school squad.

602
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 6: He might.

603
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 4: He might have been training. I mean, if nothing else,

604
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 4: he's chasing around kids and grandkids.

605
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: We know that. Look, when you go into your doctor's officer,

606
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: you're getting exercise while I'm chasing around my kid. The

607
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: doctor goes, yeah, not not even close. Oh, I'm chasing

608
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: around my kids. Oh, Philip, great, sign a contract with us. Yeah,

609
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: come on in.

610
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm certainly not endorsing this from a football perspective,

611
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 4: I have many, many questions from a fan, Give me,

612
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 4: give me some bomb poms to cheer for a forty

613
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 4: four year old guy happy birthday yesterday.

614
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I hope it. I hope it goes.

615
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: But it's just not it'll go better than the Jets gain.

616
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: It's not. Oh, he could beat the Jets easy if

617
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: he If you would line him up as quarterback across

618
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: from the Jets right now, he would Could he have

619
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: beaten the Dolphins last Oh? I don't know about that.

620
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: I think playing quarterback for the Dolphins, he could have

621
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: beat the Jets. They're just gonna hand the ball off

622
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: every time. That's all you gonna do. I mean, right,

623
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: how do people think this is going to go? I mean,

624
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: I mean I get the desperation. No, no, no, But but

625
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: that's the thing, right, it's an absolute curiosity. I don't

626
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: understand the vitriol towards it. Right, you're in a break

627
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: glass in case of emergency, and what's gone and transpired

628
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: over the last month for the Colts is about as

629
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: much of an emergency situation as we've seen from a

630
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: team in a while. I mean, this, how do you

631
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: think this is a go I mean week eighteen, I

632
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: mean I can't. I mean that game against the Texas,

633
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch with what my eyes open and one

634
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: eye closed, but one eye like you're watching a horror

635
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: movie when you're scared, and you are, but I still

636
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: want to see what's going on. That's what I'm good.

637
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: That's how that's going well.

638
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 4: I mean, you're hopeful that by then the Texans will

639
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 4: have wrapped everything up and everybody's sitting down and watching

640
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 4: like it's a bowl game.

641
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: Time not to find out what's trending in the wide

642
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: world of sports. You want to know how long Philip

643
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: Rivers has been gone? How long? Because Steve De Sager

644
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: could be Philip Rivers kid. He's got what's trending right

645
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: now in the wide world.

646
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 8: Steve that's the quarterback who won the last Charger game,

647
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 8: as I recall, in the playoffs, because you know, they've

648
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 8: won precious few playoff games in the past decade and

649
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 8: have not hosted a playoff game since they moved to

650
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 8: LA twenty seventeen, and as good as this season is going,

651
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 8: may not be hosting a playoff game this year. If

652
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 8: you go back to recent history of Chargers football. Philip

653
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 8: Rivers name is all over it. But that whole becoming

654
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 8: a semi finalist for the Hall of Fame. Yeah, let's

655
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 8: restart to clock on that one now five more years away.

656
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: But that's when he gets on the field. If he

657
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: gets out there and sees against all, there is a

658
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: bad idea. I don't think he. I think he still

659
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: keeps that clock, right. I think he's got his only

660
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: practice squad now, but he's on the active roster.

661
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 8: Right, they have no quarterbacks, so how does he not

662
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 8: get up?

663
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 5: Oh?

664
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly it, right, I'm saying. What I'm saying

665
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: is there's three days to make three or four days

666
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: to make a different decision.

667
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 8: Here, put it this way. They have three injured quarterbacks.

668
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 8: Daniel Jones is having achille surgery this week. The backup

669
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 8: Riley Leonard has strained knee ligaments. And yeah, you mentioned

670
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 8: the accident, shall we say, pregame locker room with Anthony

671
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 8: Richardson where a bar broke hit him in the face,

672
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 8: literally broke the orbital bone, and he's been slowly coming

673
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 8: back from that the last couple of months. These Colts

674
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 8: started the season seven and one. They've lost four and

675
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 8: five since. What you can't forget in this story is yes,

676
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 8: Rivers hasn't played in five years.

677
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: Bold type for that one.

678
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 8: But Rivers is a former Chargers quarterback and the Coltag

679

Speaker 1: Jannis is on a new team. All right. They tried

760
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: to make it work. It didn't work. You could see

761
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: there was tension. They're going to make a move. Now

762
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: this passed off season, Jannis sort of let it be

763
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,399

764
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: the Knicks, hiring a new head coach, wanted to see

765
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,480

766

Speaker 1: little embarrassed by that. Dude, I'm yanis, okay, that's great.

767
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: Then he tried to say no, no, no, I don't

768
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: want to play there. Then a couple weeks ago, at

769
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: the start of the Buck season going poorly again all

770
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers fault. Uh wow, we had the final public

771
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: reports that now Janis and the team are talking about

772
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: his future and that whether it involves him staying with Milwaukee,

773
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: you're going to another team. Just so happens, on that day,

774
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: Jannis gets hurt cath injury. He's out two to four weeks,

775
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: so he told you last off season, by the deadline,

776
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: Gianic is gonna be traded. And then we told you

777
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: that night that Jannis has played his last game as

778
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: a Buck because if you're trying to trade for him

779
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: and now you've gone so far down that road that

780
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: he can't stay at this point, right, you know it's

781
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: not working. If there's all this talk about wanting out,

782
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: wanting out, how does he come back? And you have

783
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: the Shams Tarani report earlier today that says Bucks players

784
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,959
Speaker 1: are all feeling all the tension amid Yannis's situation. Quote,

785
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: we can feel the tension of play here as he

786
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: talks about his options with the franchise. You don't come

787
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: back and play after you this far down the road.

788
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: You know he is gone. And the reason we said

789
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: he's played his last game as a Buck is that

790
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: the next month, it's two months to the trade deadline, right,

791
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: you think about it so far away. Oh, it's got

792
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: a couple of months. He's gonna be out for the

793
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: next month of it. Okay, So if he's out for

794
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: the next month, teams that are gonna trade for Yannis

795
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: don't want him back on the floor. They don't want

796
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: it back. No, no, no, we don't. Don't show us

797
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: he's healthy. We're fine, We're fine. We want to get

798
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: him in our building. We want to be able to

799
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: look at him and make sure and monitor his his recovery.

800
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: But we don't want him back on the floor. You don't.

801
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: We don't need to worry about you putting him back

802
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: out there showing us that he's healthy. So you see

803
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: this every day, it just gets more and more to

804
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: the end, the natural conclusion that Jiannis is gonna be

805
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: on another team. It's gonna happen by the deadline. Maybe

806
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: before then. Uh like maybe you say, if he's cleared

807
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: to come back and he's feeling healthy, that's when the

808
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: trade will happen. So it could happen beginning of the

809
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: new year, because anybody that wants to get Yannis want

810
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: him for longer and not have to wait till the deadline.

811
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: But he's played his last game for the Bucks. I mean,

812
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find a way to see a scenario

813
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: in which he's back out there playing for them again,

814
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: and as long as he's got more than one team

815
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: that wants him, because the more the Knicks win, the

816
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: less they're gonna want to say, hey, we're gonna upset

817
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: our team for Yannest. But there's gonna be a couple

818
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: of teams out there. He's got to have a couple

819
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: of places he'd rather go, at least for this year

820
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 1: before they figure things out. I don't see there being

821
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: any situation in which, yeah, we put them back out there,

822
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: because then you're screwing with the trade, because the trade

823
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: is inevitable at this point.

824
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 4: Well, folks also saying, hey, Yanni's bought real estate. You know,

825
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 4: that's the number one own unless it's not unless guys

826
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 4: with a lot of money, you know, by real estate.

827
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: But all of how many real estate stories have we

828
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: heard the last like twelve years of all the guy

829
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: bought a house here on right and not getting trades.

830
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: It's got nothing to do with it. It's just a

831
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: guy that's diversifying his holdings. Real estate a good investment.

832
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you gonna do? But it's for Yiannis.

833
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: It's hit that point. We talked about it a lot

834
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: with the Bucks going back during his entire tenure. Right

835
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: we're in year thirteen of Giannis. He's not the bright

836
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: eyed young guy that he was once upon a time,

837
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: when he was being introduced to taco places and all

838
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: of that stuff. They had that run up where everything

839
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: worked and they want a title. Otherwise, there's been a

840
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: lot of early exits, a lot of frustration, the failed

841
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: marriage with Damian Lillard. He gets hurt, goes back.

842
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 4: To Portland, like all of these things that you've got

843
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 4: a system. Now you're ten and fifteen, you're tenth and

844
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 4: grasping its straws, trying to find some semblance of a

845
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 4: rotation that works.

846
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: He's out a.

847
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 4: Month and you lend some of it to the all right,

848
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 4: we need to get something done. Whether he wanted Dock

849
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 4: fired or not, we don't know. But in terms of

850
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 4: trying to get the ancillary parts and make a trade,

851
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 4: I don't have the assets to go do that. So

852
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 4: now it becomes the inevitable. All right, where does he

853
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 4: go to finish out his career? Because as much as

854
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 4: you want to be loyal, as much as you want

855
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 4: to run it out and be that one team guy,

856
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 4: at some point you're bashing your head against a wall

857
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 4: trying to break through and get yourself back into a

858
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 4: deep playoff run, which is clearly not happening with this roster.

859
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 4: No Sometimes you just get too far down a road

860
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 4: where you know there's no way to get back from it,

861
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 4: and there's no way back from this. You imagine you're

862
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 4: honest again saying oh no, no, I'm good. I want to

863
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 4: stay dude, that's not happening. Well, but he went in

864
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 4: public before he got hurt, right talking about how frustrated

865
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 4: he was and he wasn't used to losing at that rate,

866
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 4: and that it was starting to wear and certainly that snowballs.

867
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: Exit ab out a Fresca exit Swelling Dome. More NBA

868
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 1: on the way. But coming up next a new crazy

869
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: part of the college football playoff controversy. This is going

870
00:40:53,400 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: to be Ride the Lightning. But I got something you need.

871
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 4: Is to the.

872
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 9: Carg Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my

873
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 9: best friend Mike Harmon.

874
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: It feels like Christmas. I remember that hose A Feliciano

875
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: van Halen Christmas special from the early eighties that was

876
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: really fun. It rivals the Paul Lynde Halloween specials. So yeah,

877
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 1: the Dodgers get Edwin Diaz for three years and sixty

878
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: nine million dollars. Babe Schwarber re ups with the Phillies

879
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty million. They get him for

880
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: another five years. Big Moves today, Big moves to come

881
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: joining us now from the Winter meetings in Orlando. Nobody

882
00:41:55,480 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: better the longtime ALB Network insider extraordinaire. He is on

883
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: Twitter at John Morosi his new entrance music. It is

884
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: the Pope, John Paul Morosi. John Paul was having.

885
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:18,959
Speaker 5: Buddy, how are you, Jathan? I know that that Justin

886
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 5: is quite serious and quite joyful about this now becoming

887
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 5: my new walk up song for this segment. I will

888
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 5: leave that to the two of you to sort out.

889
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 5: What I do know is that the Dodgers will very

890
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 5: soon have their closer with the best entrance music since

891
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 5: Kenlly Jansen. I was quite partial to Kenley coming into California.

892
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 5: Love that was a really fun way to begin the

893
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 5: night ending at Dodger Stadium. But I think we're gonna

894
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 5: hear the trumpets at Dodger Stadium, and truly, the rich

895
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 5: get richer, the best team in baseball, the reigning World

896
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 5: Series champs, get one of the best closers in the game.

897
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 5: And Jason, my friend, your Mets have some work to do.

898
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,919
Speaker 1: John Paul, let me tell you right now, I am

899
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: absolutely okay with waving goodbye to Edwin Diaz and the

900
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 1: roller coaster closer that he has been he's gone from.

901
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: His first year was terrible, his second year was good,

902
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: His third year he was hurt. His next year was terrible,

903
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: last year was good. Right with relief pitchers, there's no

904
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: Rivera out there, there's no Trevor Hoffman. You're trying to

905
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: find somebody. Year to year he was. He's very volatile,

906
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: and as I said at the beginning of the show

907
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: to everybody tonight, Hey, I'll be the guy you want

908
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: to think when Diaz comes in and has that one, two, three,

909
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: ninth with three strikeouts and twelve pitches, I'll wants to

910
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: be the guy you're gonna say what the blank to

911
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: when he comes into three nothing leading the ninth inning

912
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: and after two walks and hit by pitch, there's bases loaded,

913
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: nobody out. That's the Edwin Diaz experience. I am okay

914
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: with spending that money elsewhere.

915
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 5: Well, a couple of things.

916
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: And you tell me that you called Sterns here right

917
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: after week it off. You call your college David Search,

918
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: you tell them I said that everything is fine, fine.

919
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 5: I believe actually that Jason, that's gonna be the headline

920
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 5: in the New York Posts tomorrow morning. I think it's

921
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 5: actually the headline everything is fine, Everything is fine. I

922
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 5: think that's exactly what the headline says. Listen. Uh, they

923
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 5: probably don't have as I'll actually take the word probably out.

924
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 5: They do not have as good of a bullpen now

925
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 5: as they did when the season ended, and that bullpen

926
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 5: was not good enough for them to even make the

927
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 5: playoffs that they were beaten out by the Cincinnati Reds.

928
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 5: So on that part of the club. They also, by

929
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 5: the way, have Pete Alonzo onside. And this is where

930
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 5: I find it interesting where teams sometimes feel the need

931
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 5: to hold the line on a particular cock tracked a

932
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 5: particular player. Okay, fine, but then if you have to

933
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 5: turn around and overpay because Scott Boris now knows that you,

934
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 5: as the Mets are, are trying to satisfy your fans

935
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 5: on some level. You've you've already traded away Nimo, albeit

936
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 5: in a move that makes some sense. You've you've let

937
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 5: Diaz go to the Dodgers, and now Pete Alonso is

938
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 5: still out there and he's one of the most popular

939
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 5: players of this generation. Maybe the most as a New

940
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 5: York Mets all time home run leader as a New

941
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 5: York Met and he's still out there in free agency

942
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 5: and you've got teams like the Red Sox lurking. I mean,

943
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 5: can you imagine Jason if if Pete Alonso signs with

944
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 5: the Red Sox tomorrow, I think the headline in the

945
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 5: post will say, everything is really really fine. It is

946
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 5: everything is.

947
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: John Paul It said, It's not like the Mets have

948
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: to play a game tomorrow. They have a whole off

949
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: season to make the team better. You need new guys

950
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: after the collapse last year. Look, I said goodbye to

951
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: Pete A. Lonza when he hired Boris as his agent.

952
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: I knew it was only a matter of time when

953
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: that happened, So I called my goodbye to Pete Alonzo.

954
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: It's fine, Okay, everything is a tell Sternsy, everything is fine.

955
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 5: Fully prepared to just support you on your descent into

956
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 5: the abyss of Mets misery tonight and and basically be

957
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 5: your be either your spirit guide or your met therapist.

958
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 5: And it sounds like you don't need me to do that,

959
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 5: which is great. Listen, Devin Williams, is it is excellent.

960
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 5: I think he he had a little bit of an

961
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 5: aberration with the Yankees, but mostly mostly was pretty good.

962
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 5: I thought that in a Yankee uniform in twenty twenty five,

963
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 5: especially when you look at a lot of the underlying numbers,

964
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 5: so that that acquisition in and of itself is fine,

965
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 5: But they also need a starting pitcher. They also at

966
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 5: least one outfielder. Now, if they now here's here's how

967
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 5: the Mets, I can't believe, I sound like a Mets

968
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 5: fan right now, would be amazing. But the way they

969
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 5: can totally redeem themselves is if they signed Bellinger away

970
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 5: from the Yankees and Ranger Swats away from the Phillies.

971
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 5: If you do that, if you find a way to

972
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 5: compromise two of your biggest rivals by signing away their players,

973
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 5: then I think you can say that the offseason has

974
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 5: been a success, but they've got a lot of work

975
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 5: to do. You're right, the team wasn't good enough. And

976
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 5: in fairness to David Sturts, he's not disassembling twenty seven

977
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 5: Yankees here, but this team's gonna look a lot different.

978
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 5: And if Pete also walks through that door, wow, out

979
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 5: of that door, then you're talking about no Demo, no Daz,

980
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 5: no Pete. All in one offseason. That's a lot of.

981
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 4: Change, all right, JP, as we look at it, we

982
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 4: got the closer done and schwar Marie signs in Philly.

983
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 4: You're talking Bellinger, Kyle Tucker. What did his second half?

984
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 4: Due to his prospects for the long term balloon contract?

985
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 5: That Tucker's market is narrower than it was when the

986
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 5: season started, which or at least when we were at

987
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 5: the All Star break. The Cubs do not seem to

988
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 5: be involved. One team I heard today is Baltimore, which

989
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 5: is interesting. Of course, Baltimore's president of Baseball Operations, Michae Elias,

990
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 5: was the scouting director of the Astros when he drafted

991
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 5: Kyle Tucker back there about ten years ago. There's a

992
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 5: relationship there. The Orioles in general are a very active group.

993
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 5: They actually I was told they're trying to acquire Mackenzie

994
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 5: Gore from the Nationals. Now, the Nationals and Orioles have

995
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 5: never made a trade.

996
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 4: Never.

997
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 5: They The last time there was a trade between those franchises,

998
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 5: Tim Rains was involved and it was the Exposed and

999
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 5: the year was two thousand and one.

1000
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: Rock Yeah, that's right.

1001
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 5: I think You're exactly right about that, so that that

1002
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 5: goes way back into that era. So I think in general,

1003
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 5: the Orioles are are active on a number of fronts,

1004
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,919
Speaker 5: and Tucker is one of them. But in general Tucker's marketplace,

1005
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 5: he is not really hot with the Dodgers right now

1006
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 5: from what I can gather. Maybe he's a fit for

1007
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 5: the Giants, but but Kyle Tucker's market is smaller than

1008
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 5: I thought it was going to be. The Blue Jays

1009
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 5: certainly are involved, but it is I think the number

1010
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 5: of his contract will probably start with a three. Maybe

1011
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,720
Speaker 5: it's thirty million dollars per year over ten years, something

1012
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 5: like that. But I do not believe he's going to

1013
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 5: get to four hundred. I think it's somewhere in that

1014
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 5: thirty million dollar a year of range, which is by

1015
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 5: the way, really healthy and maybe a little bit north

1016
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 5: of that, but not I think Schwarber's thirty million bucks

1017
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 5: a year looks pretty good right now, and I think

1018
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 5: Tucker may may struggle to be able to get to

1019
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 5: that level here going forward.

1020
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,760
Speaker 1: At the winter meetings with US in Orlando, John Paul Morosi,

1021
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: MLB Network insider, All right, John Paul, So, now with

1022
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 1: these moves that we've seen today. What are you hearing?

1023
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: What's a couple of big things that would not surprise

1024
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:31,240
Speaker 1: you coming up because of what you have heard there already.

1025
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 5: Is I think is on the move in the next

1026
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 5: couple of days. I believe that there's a pretty decent

1027
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 5: chance of that happening.

1028
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: Oh we watch you there? Who did you say? The

1029
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 1: first one?

1030
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 5: Brandon Lao? Brandon Lau? I think he's of the Tampa

1031
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 5: Bay Rays. I think he's a guy to watch carefully.

1032
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 5: Brandon Donovan has one more I think than to watch

1033
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 5: in that second base trade. Marker can tell Marktay's name

1034
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 5: has been very popular a little bit here over the

1035
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 5: last couple of days. I think he is someone the

1036
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 5: Boston Red Sox that's some interesting among the relief pitchers.

1037
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 5: Robert Swatez is someone that I would watch carefully. He's

1038
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 5: kind of the next guy to sign. And now that

1039
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 5: Williams and Diaz a both signed, and I think in

1040
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 5: the starting fishing market, if I was to say one

1041
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 5: name that could go first from but about vez of

1042
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 5: the the Houston aswers, I think that Fromber is probably

1043
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 5: the guy that has the best chance to sign relatively soon.

1044
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 5: The Giants, the Astros. The Astra is probably lesser there.

1045
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 5: But I think actually the Mets are a team that

1046
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 5: are still looking at a starting pitcher. Given the state

1047
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 5: of their rotation, and whether it's Avalez or whether it's Swats,

1048
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,760
Speaker 5: Rangers sUAS, that is, we could certainly see the Mets

1049
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,760
Speaker 5: still answer in a way that makes Jason Smith feel

1050
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 5: even more optimistic based on what we're seeing right now.

1051
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 5: So I think that's that's my sort of big picture. Look.

1052
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 5: I don't think we're close on Bregman. I don't think

1053
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 5: we're especially close on Alonso, but I think some of

1054
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 5: the other names that I mentioned, and Boba Jet probably

1055
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 5: is a little bit later on in the game as well.

1056
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 5: He will likely have to wait until after a lot

1057
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 5: of these second and they trade happens, whether it's Marte, Donovan,

1058
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 5: Brandon Lao, I think those names probably will move at

1059
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 5: least two of those three before we see Bobachett sign

1060
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 5: either with the Jays or a different team.

1061
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 4: Now, we don't often get to talk about the Yack

1062
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 4: Colt swallows, what happens with Murakami.

1063
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 5: Taka Murakami of the Tokyo yak Oult swallows one of

1064
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 5: the uh, they are the junior team in Tokyo. Of course,

1065
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 5: that's the big team in Tokyo, the Yamuri Giants. So

1066
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 5: move to Taka Murakami, big time power. And what I

1067
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 5: can say is the way that this market has been breaking,

1068
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 5: it would not shock me if the Pittsburgh Pirates land

1069
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 5: either Murakami or Kazumo Okamoto, because they have been in

1070
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 5: there on some of these offers. They made an offer

1071
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 5: dish war where they're trying to establish themselves, and I

1072
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 5: think that the one of the better ways to establish

1073
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 5: yourself globally is to is to sign a significant in

1074
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 5: Japanese star coming over. And there are two bats that

1075
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 5: fit that inscription right now, so I think the Pirates

1076
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:12,439
Speaker 5: are a sleeper candidate to be active there on both

1077
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 5: Murakami and Okamoto. Maybe the Mariners are an option there.

1078
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 5: I can see the Tigers being a fit there too,

1079
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 5: But those are some very intriguing possibilities right now on

1080
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 5: the position player front, So do not be surprised if

1081
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 5: the Pirates done the baseball world by acquiring either Munataka

1082
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 5: Murakami or Kazuma Okamoto, who does play or has played,

1083
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 5: by the way for the Tokyo Yamiri giant.

1084
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: All right. So lastly, John Paul with the Schwarber deal

1085
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: going back to Philadelphia DH only getting to his mid thirties,

1086
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: Is this a good deal for the Phillies for the

1087
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: next two years? The next three years is a good

1088
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 1: deal for all five years?

1089
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 5: That's going to be good for the next three years,

1090
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 5: and the last two years will probably be dependent upon

1091
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,399
Speaker 5: health and sustainability of success. I'm a big college forber guy.

1092
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 5: They and they're probably looking at it like if he

1093
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 5: has another year like y had in twenty twenty five,

1094
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 5: that's like a fifty million dollar year, and so you're

1095
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 5: almost just hoping that he puts together three more years

1096
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 5: like that and then if he's whatever he does and

1097
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 5: then in years four and five is almost a bonus.

1098
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 5: But he's just got to keep doing what he's done.

1099
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 5: This is the next few years, which is asking a lot,

1100
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 5: But I think within the realm of possibility for him

1101
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 5: just an excellent player, phenomenal leader, someone that has looked

1102
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 5: to by his entire organization for what he represents. So

1103
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 5: I think that is in an overpay, they got the player,

1104
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 5: and in this market for good players, you usually do

1105
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 5: have to overpay and the good news of what I

1106
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 5: like about that for the Phillies, they paid a lot

1107
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 5: for what I consider to be an a level person,

1108
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 5: a level player, durable player, winner. He's always playing every October.

1109
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 5: He's a special, special player. So I think the Philly's

1110
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 5: got there. Man. There's the reason why he signed first,

1111
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:08,800
Speaker 5: is to get a lot of teams like the Orioles

1112
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 5: and the Reds. We're in there and realize how much

1113
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 5: value Kyles Swarmer brings it in. By the way, walking

1114
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 5: graduated the team that won the NLB Draft lottery today,

1115
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 5: that being the Mighty Chicago White Docs of Mike Harmonsville.

1116
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: Here we go. He should be a new world order.

1117
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,919
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at John Morosi, that is at John

1118
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: Morosi MLB Network Insider. He will be on MLB Network

1119
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: all day tomorrow from the Winter Meetings. He will be

1120
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,439
Speaker 1: on the big screen with most of the top half

1121
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: of his body taking up that big screen as he

1122
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: tells you everything happening from the Winter Meetings. John Paul

1123
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: is always appreciated. And when we get big news, we'll

Speaker 1: talk again this week.

1125
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 5: And yes, the act you part of the contract, the

1126
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,439
Speaker 5: camera shot framing, it's got to be a very particular way,

1127
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,720
Speaker 5: and I insist on it, and somehow it works.

1128
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: Take it easy money, We'll talk to you. Like the

1129
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,759

00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: that screen, it's just their head. You're giant, huge. It's

1134
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,040
