Speaker 1: Greetings, welcome inside. The NFL season is here. We made it. Yeah,

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: we made it, we made it. We made it another year.

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: Here we are real life football with great uniforms and everything.

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: Now then now we just need at least a safety

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: for the rest of the game. And we're sitting pretty

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: let's go, hey, kind of apropos. It is Miracle Treat

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Day at DQ, which means a dollar or more from

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: every Blizzard treat is donated to your local member Hospitals

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Blizzard treats are even sweeter

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: when they support kids who need it most. DQ happy

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: tastes good. Well, here we are midway through the third quarter,

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: Chargers all over the Lions twenty four to seven, and

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: you know after vacationing in Detroit for the better part

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: or the Greater Michigan area.

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: Great.

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, now you're a greater Michigan. Yeah. I've always been

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: a greater Michigan. I've been one of the greatest Michiganders ever.

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: You've certainly proclaimed yourself to be. So this is with

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: these two teams right now, and Trey Lance is playing

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Chargers. Now it feels like it's twenty

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: twenty again. We're back in five This is awesome. I

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: want to say this, the sense of football fans and

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: the general sense of how they feel in Detroit now,

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: going back once a year like I normally do, it's

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: one of those where I can take a snapshot and

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: because I'm not there every day, I can see the progression.

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: Right.

37
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: So you went and checked out all the jerseys that

38
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: people are wearing and all that, or they're wearing Tigers

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: gear at none of the I tell you, well, first

40
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: of all, everybody, it's it's University of Michigan. Sure, it's everything,

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: whether they have an allegiance tied to them or not.

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: You just have to pretend. There's people who have never

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: even been to the Greater Ann Arbor area everybody where's Michigan.

44
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: Gu Yeah, I mean, look Notre Dame fans and all

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: that other. I mean there's plenty. And boy did I

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: did I go shopping great in ann Arbor at the

47
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: Michigan Store when I was fantastic. But in the last

48
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: few years, right, because remember when I told you, hey,

49
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: this Lion's team is coming, They're going to the Super Bowl.

50
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: And they were one. They fell one game shot, they

51
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: lose in the NFC Championship game, they throw up on

52
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: themselves in the second half. The general sense of Lions

53
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: fans now has gone and I agree, it's gone from

54
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable that we're this good. Pinch me because I

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: can't believe this. We've never been this good. And then

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: it went to the following year was okay, hey, we

57
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: got a taste last year. This is a super Bowl

58
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: year for us now and it comes to a screeching

59
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: hauled against Jayden Daniels and the Commanders in the playoffs.

60
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: And now it's more, hey, man, if it ain't this year,

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: we gotta blow it up like this is where in

62
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: just two years, forget about the fact the Lions have

63
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: been relevant being at in years. I mean it's been

64
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 1: You go back to Barry Sanders retiring on the eve

65
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: of training camp, right, Matthew Stafford getting to one playoff game,

66
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: whatever it was. You forget Calvin Jarry. Yeah, oh, I'm

67
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: done like it. It's gone in the last three years.

68
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: It's gone from what a great story this is, this

69
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: is a magic carpet ride to hey man, if we

70
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: don't do it this year, we gotta make changes. We

71
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: got to blow it up and and and honestly, that's

72
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: what's gonna likely have to happen. Because Jared Goff needs

73
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: new contract. I'm and Ross Saint Brown's got gotta need

74
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: a new contract. These guys are up. They want to

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: give more money to Aiden Hutchinson. It's like, okay, there's

76
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: only so much and there's other players a guy to

77
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: get paid to like, this is a super Bowl or

78
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: bust year for the Lions and when's the last time

79
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: and not even when Bob because they didn't have a

80
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: super Bowl when Bobby Lane was a quarterback. This is

81
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: a super Bowl or bust year for the Loans. And

82
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: if they don't, if it doesn't happen, this is we

83
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: gotta retool, we gotta redo things. We gotta pay Jared Goffield.

84
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: We gotta pay some Like what are you gonna do this?

85
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: This is it? This should be the year, right, they

86
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: should be the favorites in the NFC. It should be

87
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: them and the Eagles again, Right, but the Eagles coming

88
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: off a super Bowl? Okay, are they still gonna have

89
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: the hunger? Things are gonna go right for them? Like

90
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: they should be the team that you say, who should

91
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: be in the super Bowl this year? It's the Lions.

92
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: It is super Bowl or bust. And if it's bust,

93
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an entirely new look to this team

94
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: because you guess what, eventually Jimmie or Gibbs is gonna

95
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: want to get me. You gotta pay all this money. Right,

96
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: they've already I think realized that, Okay, this is Jameis

97
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: and Williams's last year, Right, we can't we can't pay

98
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: the guy. We're just gonna have it and he's gonna

99
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: go away. But all these guys are gonna want to

100
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: get paid. Sam Laport is gonna want to get paid

101
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: after this year because he's one of the top five

102
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: tight ends in the NFL. Like this is it is

103
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: for the Lions. In two years, it's gone from what

104
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: a great story we are to it's super Bowl or

105
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: bust and everything change. We need new guys who doesn't

106
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: work out well. It's an a amazing run and shows

107
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: you how quickly the life cycle is in this league,

108
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: and that you're also talking about super Bowl or Bust

109
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: as the second favorite behind the Eagles, sandwich nicely between

110
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: those NFC East powerhouses and the Eagles and the commanders there.

111
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: But you're looking at it from the standpoint of you're

112
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: also doing it while changing out your coordinators as they

113
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: both leave this offseason, which we know is not the

114
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: easiest task. We watch the Eagles have that huge falloff.

115
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: Now they've got some shuffling up again after winning the

116
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but it's now the curiosity for the lines.

117
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: David Montgomery spoke to this a little bit last week

118
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: as they were entering camp of some of the expectations

119
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: and looking around the locker room of you know, the

120
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: guys kind of recognizing exactly what you're talking about. Between

121
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: contracts and just the way the National Football League is.

122
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: You know, we can talk about how robust and deep

123
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: the AFC is, and it's and it is right. You've

124
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: got a lot of heavyweights. While in the NFC side

125
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: of things, we watched the Commanders rise up quickly. Do

126
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: you expect a little bit of a fallback from the

127
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: Commanders this year? Perhaps a little bit, right Deebo Samuel

128
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: checks in with McLaurin, will eventually figure things out with them.

129
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going anywhere. But they also want

130
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: a lot of one score games a year ago. Law

131
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: of averages says, maybe you give one or two of

132
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: those games back, which which puts you back into the nice,

133
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: meaty part of the curve. Packers. You've got one hundred

134
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I don't know if you have a great one,

135
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: but you've got a pretty good roster top to bottom.

136
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers come back and in theory, you'll have

137
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: better health. Perhaps the specter, that is, the injury plague

138
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: finds another squad and leaves you Rams. Matthew Stafford does

139
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: back hold up love the rest of the roster. Do

140
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: you trust Jimmy g if Stafford's not there? Men, He

141
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: and DeVonta Adams are best friends. Now the Buccaneers read too,

142
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Are they gonna be healthy enough? Like there's

143
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of teams that are kind of there, but

144
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: it's a talent level of the Lions is on paper,

145
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: right them and the Eagles, and it's young talent. It's

146
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: all young. This is not hey, this guy's little too well, No,

147
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: the oldest guy is golf and a quarterbacks obviously you

148
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: play at high level till your mid to late thirties.

149
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: Like everybody's young. Everybody this is. This is the roster

150
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: everybody wants in the NFL. And it's a super Bowl.

151
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: What a world we live in. It's a super Bowl

152
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: or bust year for the Lions, not the Cowboys, not

153
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers, not the Chiefs, not the Dolphins. I know

154
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: it's super Bowl or bus for the line, But I

155
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: already go to the offensive side of things, Right, we

156
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: look at some of these juggernauts and guys that for

157
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: fantasy purposes we're gonna be drafting highly, and then you

158
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: decide how much you love or hate youared golf. But

159
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: look at your coordinator. It's gonna be a completely different

160
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: game getting called yea, we're not gonna have you know,

161
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: passes to the offensive tackle or a little and you

162
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: know trap plays to them. I mean those are gonna

163
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: be gone. All the gadgets. Ben Johnson such a wizard,

164
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: and I read today that they're already all done answering

165
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: the questions of how different will the offense look this year?

166
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: A Ben Johnson like, They're like they're done right with no.

167
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: One's asking, Hey, how about asking about Aaron Glenn Right,

168
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 4: have someone asked me we lost their defensive No, ask

169
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: me again about Ben on the defensive?

170
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: Is Hutch healthy?

171
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: Because if Hutch is healthy, we're feeling okay because on

172
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. I mean you talk

173
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: about what Glenn was able to do, I mean that

174
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: was bandages and duct tape. With the way that defense

175
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: was structured at the end of the year, right, so

176
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: many guys were out injured, It's like, can you get

177
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: to the next game? Like we were trying to learn

178
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: who some of these guys were. It's like, remember him,

179
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: he was a second team All SEC or what whatever

180
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: in CIRT Conference. Here he hasn't played much of the NFL,

181
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: but damnit, he was good college years. I'm all due

182
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: and so far, I'm all on Aaron Glenn Man. He

183
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: is done. He is a culture guy. Hearing the Jets

184
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: say the practices are better, the communication is better. Everything is.

185
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: But I'm like, oh my goodness, man, I'm gonna what

186
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: else are they gonna say? It's gonna you know what,

187
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: it sucked last year, it's just as bad.

188
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: No, it's a new guy.

189
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: Everybody's sucking up, including all of the Beat reporters, Samini.

190
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: They all have to suck up because they need the quotes,

191
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: they need the access. It's a new regime. So you're

192
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna say all the positive, glowing things. You paid

193
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: your superstars all of that to say, Yeah, it can't

194
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: be any darker than it was the last couple of years, right,

195
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to have hope springs eternal there

196
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: for the New York Football Jets, but yeah for your Lions.

197
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: You started it and then you took them as far

198
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: as you could and then you abandon them. Now they

199
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: got to do it. Everybody's got to do something for themselves.

200
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: Everybody's chomping on that that pistons band. I can push

201
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: you on your bicycle, but you got a pedal and

202
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: make it doing yours. I could do that, but you

203
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: don't have to pedal anymore. You got these electric bikes.

204
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't have to pedal a damn bit. Uh so

205
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: we'll we'll have stuff on the chargers well coming up,

206
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: because Trey Lance has thrown two touchdowns and we've hit

207
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: the over. I'm waiting for the for the obligatory. You know,

208
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: Trey Lance is younger, is still younger than seventy four

209
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: percent of the quarterbacks they have a U. But he

210
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: has on a couple of touchdowns for the charge. We

211
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: got stuff on the chargers coming up. I mean he

212
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: had a fumble on the opening. Yeah, hit that over.

213
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: But today also trade deadline day in Major League Baseball.

214
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: We get to the big particulars coming up. The let's

215
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: make big moves, the Padres make big moves right the Mariners.

216
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: But uh, this was a day where everybody seemed to

217
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: get a closer. It's like Oprah walking and you get

218
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: a closer, and you get a close. The Yankees got

219
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: a closer and said, nope, Devin Williams is still a closer. Okay,

220
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: I mean closers went yesterday. Today it's the year of

221
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: the relief pitcher being traded. Right this trade deadline. There

222
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: were there were thirty four trades, I think is what

223
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,239
Speaker 1: it was, and I think thirty one of them were relievers.

224
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: Certainly thirty thirty one were relievers and it was Suarez

225
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: and Mullins, right, and that's well. And everybody had once

226
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: upon a time wore up Padres or Twins Jersey. Yeah,

227
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: poor twins. They don't have a team then, I think

228
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: they they only have two guys under contract through the

229
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: end of next year. With nine players off their roster

230
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: from this week have been traded in nine guys. A

231
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: lot of rosters shuffling there. But look, here's where I

232
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: could tell you the why, right, Because why do we

233
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: get so many relievers traded? Why is it? Are the

234
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: the the influx of it? Why so many today? And

235
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: this is part of the new baseball with the one

236
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: deadline at the end of July. Why did all these

237
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: relievers get traded? Mainly because relievers are the easiest players

238
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: to trade and to trade for. It's it's sometimes it's

239
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: just that simple, right, Why is so many every Does

240
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: everybody the Padres need a reliever? No, but it was

241
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: pretty easy to trade for. We got another club. We

242
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: got Mason Miller. Okay, we got we got another club.

243
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: We don't need it, but we got one. It's easier

244
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: to trade for relievers because these guys aren't getting paid

245
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: a ton of money. If you want to resign a reliever,

246
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: it's generally not for a ton of money. The prospects

247
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: you will give up are not gonna be ones at

248
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: the top, but there'll be decent prospects. They'll be periphery

249
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: top ten prospects. It's easy. It's like trading and fantasy

250
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: with the owner you know you can trade with, versus

251
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: the owners you know you can't trade with. And that's

252
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: kind of what it is in baseball. Okay, Hey, all

253
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: these teams understand that we're gonna build our starting pitching,

254
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna build our offense, and then if we need relievers,

255
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: we can get them at the deadline because there will

256
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: be a plethora of relievers available and we'll be able

257
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: to trade some prospects that are in our top prospects

258
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: and be able to move that. That's just the way

259
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: baseball goes. Now, look at all the teams that had weaknesses.

260
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: Look what they did. The Mets bullpen huge weakness. Now

261
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: it's one of their big strengths.

262
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: Right.

263
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: The Phillies turn their bullpen into a big strength. The

264
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: Padres made their bullpen even a bigger strength. I don't

265
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: even think they need starting pitchers anymore. It's gonna go

266
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: with the relievers and roll them all the way through. Right,

267
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: the Yankees make a trade for a closer. These guys

268
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: are all getting all these teams where the bullpen is

269
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: our weak link. They know, guess what, at the deadline,

270
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: we can do this because it is the cheapest way

271
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: to improve our team. And that's simply why. And this

272
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: is going to be a case forever now because you

273
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: only have the one deadline in Major League, but they

274
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: don't have the end of August, where hey, these other

275
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: pitchers that are coming up, we can get rid of them.

276
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: They can pass through waivers. They're worth a lot of money.

277
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: It's the easiest way to improve your team. And teams

278
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: are now going to go into a season saying, hey,

279
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: we like our bullpen, but we're not going to go

280
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: crazy signing bullpen guys because we don't know how the

281
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: first half of the year is going to go. We

282
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: don't know if the magic this guy had for twenty

283
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: twenty four is going to come through in twenty twenty five.

284
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: We're gonna need to move on from him. So at

285
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: the deadline, yeo, okay, who's having a big year. All right, great,

286
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: we can make that move again. This is something that

287
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: is going to happen every year. Big relievers will get

288
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: dealt every single season, and teams are going to build

289
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: that way. So when they get to the deadline, we know, okay,

290
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: how do we make our team better check mark. We'll

291
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: get a couple of relievers coming in, We'll get a closer,

292
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: and suddenly our bullpen has lights out. Now, all of

293
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: a sudden, these big contenders got way better by not

294
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: giving up a lot. It's a very popular way. Well,

295
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: and that's the other part is just the way the

296
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: game itself has been structured and changed that you know,

297
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: we get guy that goes seven innings, we're busting out

298
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: the New Year's Eve streamers and horns to celebrate a

299
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: big effort. Otherwise it's you need three four arms a day.

300
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: We talked about it last night. Look at the Dodgers.

301
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: They made some moves, not the big splash than any

302
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: anybody was really looking for, although they did get mister Tibbs,

303
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: so we'll get to run that line a lot for

304
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: the second TIBs. They picture the Reds and the Mets

305
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: in the eighties. He was supposed to be great. Jab

306
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: is still around, no question, no, but it's it's just

307
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: the idea that you're gonna need there. They already have

308
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: gone through thirty seven arms the road shut up. But

309
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: all of that to say, I mean the get Us

310
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: Book of World Records. We said it last night. It's

311
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: forty two. And now you're adding more arms and hoping

312
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: Blake Snow when he comes off Saturday, can give you

313
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of innings. Otherwise you've got a bunch of

314
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: relievers that are already been highly leveraged and trotted out

315
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: quite frequently. So team for team, they're trying to match up.

316
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: When you look at your front runners in either league,

317
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: but also just the changing face of baseball. You need

318
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: to get through the long slog in the dog days

319
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: of August and into September. If you're still a competitor,

320
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: you need fresh arms, and you need three guys that

321
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: are gonna be at the ready every day. And you

322
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: can't keep trotting guys out two three times a series

323
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: and think you're gonna have great success. Allows more roster

324
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: management and opportunity, you know, to find that that perfect

325
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: matchup and give guys you know their their inning and

326
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: push it forward. So yeah, from an economic standpoint, absolutely,

327
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: from a gameplay standing you know, it's just the new

328
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: new world order in baseball. Yeah, it's It's just this

329
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: is how it goes. It's easy. Relievers are going to

330
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: find their market the off season not being great and

331
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: then being well sought after the deadline. That's just how

332
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna I mean, we talk with John Palmarrossi a

333
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: little bit Tuesday. We'll talk to them again now that

334
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: the dust is starting to settle, and he's like, yeah,

335
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: it's it's all relievers all time. We asked about starting pitch,

336
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: he goes, baby, Babe, you'll see a couple of guys

337
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: that we did, but a couple of jags and no, no,

338
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,160

Speaker 5: and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing about

374
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,879

391
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: today was trade deadline day in Major League Baseball, and

392
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: every single team got a closer. Congratulations. It seems about

393
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: right everybody, you get a closer, you get a close.

394
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: You can't use my road, but you can have a closer.

395
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: Who are the big winners? Who are the big losers?

396
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: What does John Paul morose you have to say about this?

397
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: LB Network insider joins us now on the hotline to

398
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: break down on what he saw today and John Paul,

399
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 1: congratulations on closer day in Major League Baseball. All thirty

400
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: four players traded today were closers. I didn't think we'd

401
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: ever see something like that.

402
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: Thirty four, by the way, is also the number of

403
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 3: points that were scored by the Chargers against the Lions,

404
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 3: but we'll get into that one laterally.

405
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: Pre season football, John Paul, don't.

406
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 2: Streuss right right.

407
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 3: The preseason football is far down the list of topics

408
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: to discuss today. Actually, you'll forget me. Just before we

409
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 3: came on the air, there was a knock on my

410
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 3: door and it was the Twins. Beloved and cuddly TC Bear,

411
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: who was also traded. He was traded away today. He

412
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: is emblematic of the Twin Cities, and he too has

413
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 3: been dealt.

414
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: So you gave it ug.

415
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gave I gave TC a big hug. I

416
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: told him, buddy, we're going to hang out again. I

417
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: met first the Metrodome long time ago. I always loved

418
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 3: the Metrodome more than most people did. But we're gonna

419
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 3: have all kinds of memories now. The Twins got great

420
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 3: history and they've got a bright future. But the president

421
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 3: right now is not so much fun. After making a

422
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 3: lot of trades they did well. To be honest with you.

423
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: Sam Paul, they don't have a team.

424
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 4: They traded away out half half of their I don't

425
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 4: think they have enough guys to play the rest.

426
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 3: Of the season they can bring down there. There is

427
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 3: a I believe a Northern League team it's based out

428
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 3: of Winnipeg's gonna be loan them some players. And then

429
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 3: there's the Saint Paul Saints. Uh that that's actually a

430
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: Triple A team, no longer an independent team that Kevin

431
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: Mallar played four years ago, but it is. It is

432
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 3: a remarkable time. The Twins have basically done trades with

433
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 3: everybody except they did not trade Joe Ryan, and that

434
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: was that was the one blockbuster of blockbusters they could

435
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 3: have made. Of course, they did not do that, but

436
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 3: they traded just about everyone else, including the beloved TC Bear.

437
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: All Right, so we talked about the winners losers today.

438
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: I'll give you the two big winners today, and there's

439
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: a third winner. But these two above three big winners

440
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: trade deadline over the course of the past few days.

441
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: You got it, The Mariners, the Padres, and the Mets.

442
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: Good, I agree. And you know what, there's there's also

443
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 3: this little small market team, it's based out on the

444
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: East Coast called the New York Yankees, and they did

445
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 3: pretty well too. They traded for seven players. Seven that's

446
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: almost a third of their team. Now I realized that

447
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 3: Aaron Judges on the injured list. They don't have Garrett Cole.

448
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 3: But now they've got, I believe, by my count, I

449
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 3: think at least four different relievers who have their own

450
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 3: pyrotechnics and musical display when they enter the game, which

451
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 3: is usually pretty good indication. And the Mets have the

452
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 3: same thing. We're gonna have, like dueling, dueling, game presentation entrances.

453
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: Now for the Mets, you've got Hell's bells, You've got

454
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 3: you still have the trumpet's playing now the Mets, now

455
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 3: the Yankees as well, with the arrival of Camilo Dovall

456
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 3: and David Bednard at joining them with Devin Williams. They're

457
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: looking really good now. And they also got, by the way,

458
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 3: amid all the talk and the scrutiny on Anthony Bolpi,

459
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 3: gidding Hoste Cavagto was a very important move too, because

460
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 3: he's actually a very solid defensive player. I think they

461
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 3: did exceptionally well. Do I really do. I would have

462
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 3: liked to have seen the Yankees get a starting pitcher

463
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: as well, but by and large I like their deadline

464
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 3: in addition to three teams that you mentioned, So the

465
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 3: overall takeaway is basically twofold number one, the best trade

466
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 3: deadline I have ever covered. I've been doing this for

467
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 3: exactly twenty years. The first first one I covered as

468
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: a major league writer was with the Seattle Post Intelligencer

469
00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 3: back in two thousand and five, and the Seattle Mariners,

470
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 3: like recite the trades from memory, they traded Randy Winn

471
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 3: to the Giants for a package that included Jesse Foppert.

472
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 3: Why I'm amber, I do Jesse fopperts Jesse Fopper. Just

473
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 3: look him up. He was traded Jesse Fopper. So so

474
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 3: that was twenty years ago. This is the best trade

475
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: deadline I have ever covered in terms of just excitement,

476
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 3: diversity of moves. You had buyer and buyer, and seller

477
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 3: and seller and then buyer and seller. There was all

478
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: kinds of different combinations. It felt like an NBA trade

479
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: deadline on most because of the different combinations of elements there.

480
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 3: So that's number one best ever and it also conveyed

481
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 3: to me and this is really awesome news for a

482
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: lot of baseball fans that a lot of teams in

483
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 3: a lot of different markets believe that they can win

484
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 3: the World Series. Because you saw, by most measures in baseball,

485
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: depending on how you've got this kind of thing, the

486
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 3: two smallest markets are Milwaukee and Cincinnati, and both of

487
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 3: them were buyers. In fact, Cincinnati they added to Brian Hey,

488
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: they had Zachtel, they were adding multiple players, and the

489
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 3: Brewers made I thought, some pretty interesting moves with the

490
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 3: in terms of players and players out. They trans Nestor Cortez,

491
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: brought in Shelby Miller. There's just a lot of really

492
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 3: interesting movement that I loved, and that cemented my idea

493
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 3: that this is as wide open as any postseason that

494
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 3: I've ever covered is going to be.

495
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: That's the fun of all of a JP. We talked

496
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: about it a little bit when you joined us earlier

497
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: this week. Sue as the big chip already making paying

498
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: dividends for the Mariners, looking resplendent in those blue jersey tops.

499
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, on side, cal Raley so solid there. I

500
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: immediately went as we went down our list of potential

501
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: losers in all of this, to the North side of Chicago,

502
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: where there were a lot of expectations that at least

503
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: one starting pitcher was going to walk through those doors. Instead,

504
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: it's a utility man and another reliever.

505
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was a little bit underwhelmed. I thought that

506
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 3: they would do more. I thought the Red Sox would

507
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 3: do more. I thought the Tigers would do more. But

508
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 3: you're right the Cubs in particular. There were a lot

509
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 3: of big time names that were linked to the Cubs again,

510
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 3: Ahannio Suadez was actually one of them. There was more

511
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: talk about what they could have done at third base.

512
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: I just feel like the Brewers have a little more

513
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 3: momentum now than the Cubs do, and the Brewers have

514
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 3: this youth on their side. I do think sometimes the

515
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: experience is a little bit overrated, especially in a situation

516
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 3: where you've got and again it's not like the Cubs

517
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: are this ancient team, but the Brewers have this really

518
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 3: good style they play with, and they brought in Mizerowski,

519
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 3: They've got Chad Patrick, and now they've got also the

520
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: experience a little experienced with Brandon Woodruff coming back in,

521
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 3: and then this really impressive bullpen that's missing a lot

522
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 3: of bats. So I think the Brewers are playing an

523
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 3: excellent brand of baseball, and the Cubs they just there's

524
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 3: a little bit more that I believe they should have

525
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: done with respect to their rotation. Yeah, they've got six

526
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: starters if you consider Soroka to be a starter. But

527
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 3: I just don't know how the likes of Ben Brown

528
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 3: and Kate Horton again into the second half, longer season,

529
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 3: how they're going to respond. You've seen a little bit

530
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 3: of inconsistency with Imanaga this season. I just I like

531
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 3: the Brewers a little bit better. And then you look

532
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 3: at a team like the Podreys now again in the

533
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 3: National League with a ton of momentum. That team is

534
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 3: so much fun. They aj Proler basically made a trade

535
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 3: at every hour, it seemed this year, this day, and

536
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 3: one of them, of course, Mason Miller coming over from Oakland,

537
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 3: one of the best closers in the game, and he

538
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 3: actually Robert Suarez and he kept Dylan ceased. But for

539
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: me to help address the catching situation, he brought in Loreano,

540
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 3: he brought an O'Hearn. Just a masterclass of work in

541
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: the deadline, being clever with what assets he had at

542
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 3: the budget. And and aj Preller is not afraid to

543
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 3: make a trade and give up a top prospect, same

544
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 3: like Dave Dombrows Gilber in Philadelphia. So I'm a big believer.

545
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: I really I like it when teams that go board

546
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 3: are rewarded. And I believe that the National League is

547
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 3: going to be represented eventually in the World Series by

548
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 3: a team that was aggressive on this day and in

549
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 3: general this season, and that would include teams like the Padres, Phillies, Mets. Yes,

550
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 3: I made sure to include the Mets there. Yeah, I

551
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 3: know I held you in suspense there, but they did.

552
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: I thought the Mets did a very good job. Listen,

553
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 3: they they paid and I know that the New York

554
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 3: fan of you, Jason was very excited that. Listen, they

555
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 3: were not afraid to overpay a little bit, especially in

556
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 3: the Rogers deal that was they paid a ton, yeah

557
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 3: to get in, but you know how important it is.

558
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 3: And they now have an almost all new late inning

559
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 3: setup crew in front of Edwin Diaz, which is I

560
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: think bodes very well for their postseeded fortunes.

561
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: John Paul Moros, the MLB Network Insider with us here

562
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: the Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen. Now, I want

563
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: to bring up something that you had the big breaking

564
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: news on today. We saw that Carlos Correa going back

565
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: to the Houston Astros, and I'm sure everybody's saying, wait

566
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 1: a minute, they have a pretty good shot. No, no, no,

567
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: you said, Carlos Correa is okay with playing third base.

568
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: So I know everybody is happy the band is getting

569
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: back together in Houston. But John PAULA, it sounds great,

570
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: but Carlos Correa hasn't really been that player now for

571
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: almost four years. I feel like, Oh, everybody's expecting Crea

572
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: to come back and we're going to turn the clock

573
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: back to twenty seventeen, and that I don't think that's

574
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: gonna happen he's not that guy anymore.

575
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: I think you're right that there is a little bit

576
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: of nostalgia here, which again is good. It's part of

577
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: the reason why and again not the same thing, but

578
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 3: why the Mariners are so excited about getting Suarez back.

579
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 3: It's that romance of bringing back the player that helped

580
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: you win before. So I understand that. But you're right,

581
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 3: is ops even from just last year to this year, Jason,

582
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 3: he was an All Star year ago, an OPS around

583
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: nine hundred. Now it's around seven hundred. And when you

584
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 3: take that OPS and you put it over at third base,

585
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 3: there were teams that had that level of production at

586
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: third base this season who were trying to upgrade on it.

587
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 3: And so I just I'm with you. The talent is

588
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: still there. He is not an old man by any

589
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: stretch of the imagination, but he's going to have to

590
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: I think kick it up a notch and he may.

591
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 3: I think back to run to what Chorycholwitzky did over

592
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 3: a brief amount of time with the Jays when he

593
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: was traded there at ten years ago, where he was

594
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 3: sort of towards the back end of his career, and

595
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 3: yet he found a way to summon that that talent

596
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 3: and that postseason dry for him. So I do think

597
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 3: you'll get a better version of Korea in Houston with

598
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 3: a Pennant race with a lot of excitement there. But

599
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 3: I am with you that I fully agree we have

600
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 3: not seen the best of him in a while, and

601
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 3: he's going to have to reprove himself. And you know

602
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 3: that those that bat that he had in twenty seventeen

603
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: or twenty nineteen or twenty twenty one, they're not going

604
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 3: to count right now. There's nothing about those that bats

605
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: that are going to be event of much value when

606
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 3: he's in the batter's box right now, he is going

607
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 3: to have to produce more, and I, like you will

608
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 3: sort of withhold judgment a little bit before we see

609
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 3: exactly what he's able to bring on a consistent basis

610
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 3: and stay durable, stay in the lineup. He's been injured

611
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 3: way too much lately. That has to change.

612
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: Twitter at John Morosi, That is at John Morosey MLB

613
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: Network Insider And and Hey, since I know you're going

614
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: to talk to Sternsy, your former college roommate, pass along

615
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: this message for me. Uh, great job today. I'm looking

616
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: forward to seeing sprot and McClain sometime in August. Uh,

617
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: who's out the Mets starting staff. So I just let him.

618
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 3: What he got.

619
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 5: Oh.

620
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: I think, seeing how they like to bring up pictures,

621
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna want to see him do it

622
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: a little bit longer like Sproton McLain. I feel like

623
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: they're the most ready, but Tong is going to be Hey,

624
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: they want to see him do it maybe a little

625
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: bit longer. So I'm fully expecting to see him next year.

626
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: I agree, I think he'll he'll keep pitching for the

627
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 3: Binghamton Rumble Ponies. I just wanted to find a reason

628
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 3: to mention the Binghamton rumble Ponies.

629
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: Of course, let's done that.

630
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's really the the ideal capstone of my

631
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 3: trade deadline day. We've talked about the Binghamton Rumble Ponies

632
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: on national radio, and we've talked about uh and and again.

633
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 3: The only reason why, and I'll bring it back to

634
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: where we started, The only reason why the Lions went

635
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 3: down to a thirty four to seven defeat tonight in

636
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 3: Canton is that I did not I did not preemptively

637
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: on these airwaves give you the final score two nights ago.

638
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: Now now again, the preseason. I'm not going to bring

639
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: out my a game of predictions now because there's I

640
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: got along. I got It's a long season, but rest

641
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 3: assured when it comes time to week one. And I

642
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 3: believe I heard a report that they actually play seventeen

643
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 3: regular season games down the NFL, which I think is

644
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 3: a new thing. Maybe this year. I'm joking, but I'll

645
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 3: make sure that I get that prediction in before the

646
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 3: first game did actually counts.

647
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: John Paul is always buddy appreciated, my friend week.

648
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: We have too much fun. We have too much fun.

649
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: I didn't give you that pick the other night.

650
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: That's why we got killed. Okay, got it because I

651
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: know we actually we went back and forth and you're like, yeah,

652
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: we didn't do a pick for Thursday. I'm like, we

653
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: covered like nine teams in the fifteen minutes he was

654
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: with Hendon Hooker's playing for you. It's okay, It's okay, fine.

655
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: You once thought he was gonna be the guy.

656
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: It was a long time ago, man, it was a

657
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: long change. Speaking was so long ago. The Mets had

658
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: a bad bullpen. Now look at what it's done today.

659
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: Martin Weise has more on that and the rest of

664
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 7: that has like an asterisk, but it's still pretty cool.

665
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,480

Speaker 7: winner in a game that does not matter one bit.

00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:36,920

00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 7: did for the Tennessee Titans, but still out there and

707
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 7: playing for his former head coach Jim Harbaugh. Back to

708
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 7: you guys, Thanks a bunch of mark. Now I'll tell

709
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 7: you this. I see your Cal Rowley now. Most home

710
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 7: runs by a switch hit and catching MLB history. The

711
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 7: record he broke was forty one, held by he former

712
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 7: New York met Todd Hunley ninety six ninety seligate that

713
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 7: finally that the met. He was the catcher for like

714
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 7: nine years and finally he broke through. He had an

715
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 7: incredible year. They moved in the left field and he

716
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 7: couldn't field at all, and it was awful. At one

717
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 7: point when he caught a fly ball, he actually tipped

718
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 7: his cap to the crowd because he was such he

719
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 7: was so bad in the outfield.

720
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: But man ninety six, ninety seven six, yeah, forty one, Randy, Yeah, Dad,

722
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: didn't do it, but he was right, man, it was great.

723
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: It's all the matters. Thanks a bunch, Martin coming up next. Yes,

724
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: as you just heard Martin Wise say, an all pro

725
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: wide receiver wants a trade. So I'll tell you why

726
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 1: I am okay trade to him and who should trade

727
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: for him? That's next right here, Jason of Mike Fox.

Speaker 1: Paul Morosi as always for stopping by telling us how

735
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: well the Mets did. But big NFL news today, a

736
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: congratulations we all made it NFL season. Yeah, it is

737
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: that time Hall of Fame game. How sweet it was

738
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: seeing those Chargers jerseys on the field tonight at all.

739
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 3: It is great.

740
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,479
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna rank our top five plays as made

741
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: by Trey Lance tonight. But outside of that, it's not

742
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 1: often that an all pro wide receiver request to be traded.

743
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: But that's what happened today. We're Terry McLaurin of the

744
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: Commanders made good on his threat slash promise to request

745
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: a trade. He has done so. Jordan Schultz reporting this,

746
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter reporting this. He wants a new contract. He

747
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: saw guys like Garrett Wilson get paid around thirty million

748
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 1: dollars a year, and mclaurin's coming off a great year.

749
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: Clearly he is the number one option in that offense.

750
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: He wanted more money and now it doesn't like he's

751
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: gonna get it, and so he wants a trade.

752
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 3: Now.

753
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,959
Speaker 1: I know the Commanders have been getting all kinds of flack.

754
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: How do you not take care of this guy? He's

755
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: your best wide receiver. But first of all, I'm okay

756
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: if the Commanders trade him, because Jaden Daniels is that

757
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: kind of quarterback, right, there's a reason why he's a

758
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: top five quarterback in the NFL. Already. You can already

759
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: see that he makes everybody around him better. He's not

760
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: just a guy that can put up stats or if

761
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: you give him great weapons, he can do well. That's

762
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: most of the quarterbacks in the NFL, but there's very

763
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 1: few who no matter what they have around them, they're

764
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: gonna make them better. So yeah, I'm okay with not

765
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: paying a twenty nine year old wide receiver who's been

766
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: good but not great over the course of his career.

767
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm okay with not paying that guy thirty million dollars

768
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: because in theory, you could say, all right, we can

769
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: get to the guy in here that can be just

770
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: as good. Right, we can get to the guy. Now

771
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: you're getting close to the season. You want somebody to

772
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: get on the same page with your with your quarterback

773
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: and your team. So yeah, maybe this could have been

774
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: something you handled better. Cau If you're going to trade

775
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: Terry mc lauren should have done it earlier where he

776
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: can go out and get somebody. But I'm okay with

777
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: them trading him because, yeah, if this is Jamar Chase,

778
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: I get one. If this is Ceedee Lamb, But come on,

779
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: Terry mclaurin's a guy catches seventy five eighty passes a year.

780
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: Which is good. He's been good, but he's not a

781
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: he's not a twenty three year old, twenty four year

782
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: old butting star. He's gonna be thirty and all of

783
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: a Sudden'm not gonna pay him just because he's been

784
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: through all the wars in Washington with all these horrible quarterbacks. Yeah.

785
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: I get that he wants to get paid and he's

786
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: a good receiver. But for the Commanders, no, you are

787
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels driven. He will make the team better. You

788
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: can let him go and figure something else out final

789
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: year of a three year, sixty eight million dollar extension

790
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: that he signed. To your point, last year, his base

791
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: numbers looked very similar to the year before and the

792
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: year before that, and the year the uptick was obviously

793
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: red zone. Right, he gets into double digit touchdowns as

794
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: that offense humes, and then you have to decide how

795
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: much does he help fuel everything else, drawing extra attention,

796
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: et cetera. Again, numbers didn't really change terribly much along

797
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: the way. So is that worth thirty million dollars plus?

798
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: Probably not. Now on the eve of the season, I

799
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: think this becomes the you get a sit, right, you

800
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 1: really want to sit go ahead, But if you're looking

801
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: at your roster in Washington right now, you got Noah Brown,

802
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel and a wishing, wanting hoping that Michael Gallup

803
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: is that guy that he wants upon a time was

804
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: in Dallas before he was out of football. Art Monk,

805
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: that's a lot, and that zach Ertz is gonna stay Hearthy,

806
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: Charlie Brown, Yeah, sure right. I mean you look at

807
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson and Austin Eckler out of the backfield. Terry

808
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: mcglaurin's I think gonna try to leverage this his best

809
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: by what I just said, all these other guys like

810
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: this is what you got, and so how much you

811
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: believe in old number five to carry you for now

812
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: Here's but here's the thing is that they need to

813
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: make a trade and get a wide receiver back, right,

814
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: That's what they need to do, and they can and

815
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: the two teams they should look to deal him to, right,

816
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: Obviously the Steelers are gonna always be linked with a

817
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver and a way what right, sure, clearly that's

818
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. The two teams that you're trade for him,

819
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: and who I would call if I'm Washington, I call

820
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: the Bills, because the Bills have a horde of okay

821
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: but not great receivers. They could use a stud like McLaurin,

822
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: and the Broncos could use a stud to pair with

823
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton for Bonnix's development. Again, it's an arms race

824
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: in the AFC West about continuing to add weapons because

825
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the best division in football. Those are

826
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: the teams that should have the most interest in McLaurin

827
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: and who I would make sure I would call to say, Okay,

828
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: I gotta make sure I get a wide receiver back,

829
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: forge a wide receiver and a draft pick, whatever it is,

830
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: but I get somebody back and do it soon. Those

831
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: are the teams I call. Those are the teams that

832
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: I would call if I were to make this trade out. Now,

833
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: here's the current odds is, courtesy of DraftKings, that he

834
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: stays a commander and wal minus two fifty Patriots plus

835
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: four fifty Raiders plus five hundred Titans and Chargers. Chargers

836
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 1: might want to make a play, right, We were talking

837
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: about that receiving corps and maybe you think we need

838
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: one more. You think we need one more, Let's go

839
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: get one more. Jet said thirteen to one by the

840
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: way exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome. Jason Smith,

841
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: Mike Carman coming up next. Back into what made today

842
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: the best MLB trade deadline ever
