First, we've got nine guys that 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.000 we want to move. How are we going to move them? 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.320 Where are we going to move them?

We got 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:32.040 to talk Spencer Strider kicking ass on Thursday afternoon, Shintaro 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.200 Fujinami and his twelve to three through like his first 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.000 fifteen appearances, and then like Lo two's in the next 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.440 ten going to Baltimore, which is really exciting. I also 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.959 have something non baseball off the top that I think 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.080 can be a total revenue generator for Just Baseball that 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:48.840 I want to pick your guys brain about.

It's a great time 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.560 to go. Look at all those division futures. You know, 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.240 the Orioles, right, I'm sitting on a raised ticket plus 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.160 three fifty to win the division. Felt really good early on, 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.119 but now the Orioles are in first place the day 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.160 that we were talking, and we have a three game set. 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.440 So if you think the Orioles might win that series, 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:29.400 might as well bet on them to win the division. 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.160 Or if you like what the Blue Jays have been doing. 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.639 Not sure that you have, because they've been getting their 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.880 teeth kicked in by the San Diego Padres. But if 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:37.760 you think they're going to bounce back, make sure to 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.560 use code just Baseball on bet MGM gambling problem call 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.640 or text one eight hundred. Gambler must be twenty one 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.160 or older. There you go. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.320 I've come across a gold mine and I think that 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.880 Just Baseball can really benefit from it, and I know 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.040 that we have a good presence on TikTok. Let me 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.640 introduce you to Pinky Doll. Now, is this woman a 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:00.560 U I no exist? 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:02.000 I saw that. I saw that. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:06.560 Oh she is apparently making seven thousand dollars a day 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.840 doing this. So I think if we grab one person 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.600 from our staff to sit on the Just Baseball TikTok 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.920 Live for five hours a day and pretend to lick 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.839 ice cream when somebody sends the ice cream emoji, we 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.320 could turn into a fortune five hundred company overnight. 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.039 See what I do is I jump on TikTok Live 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.440 and I run through the games of the day, kind 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.680 of give them my leans, and I'm trying to actually 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.960 make people money. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, but 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.240 I'm trying my best. She's not trying to make your money. 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.360 She's just stealing your money and then pretending to lick 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.120 an ice cream cones. So you donate a five dollars 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.640 ice cream cone to a person who don't know exists. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.760 Sometimes they'll get a couple of roses and shout out 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.120 to the people who have donated. But I think I'm 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:47.919 lucky to come out with a TikTok live with like 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.720 eight bucks. She's pulling out five racks. 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.440 So I think I actually think this is the perfect 0:04:55.760 --> 0:05:00.320 activity for Arham. I think aram would be excellent, like 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.320 two to two to five pm, two to six pm 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:05.039 every day. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.400 No, that's when people are working. He's got to get 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.560 the people, like the people. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:10.760 That are watching this aren't working. 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.719 You're you're a night owl. No, you're a night owl, right, 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.120 Just go from eleven pm to three am. Get those 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:21.000 degenerates that are weirdly watching those streams. You could probably 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:21.599 pull in a ton. 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.640 Yeah, yeah, you got the eyelash of the camera. You 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.839 know how much I love the camera. I could I 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.880 could do that, but we'll talk about it. I will 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.560 talk about it. I'll consider it. That's gonna be just 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.360 Baseball premium. You get prospects, right ups and ice cream 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:35.960 cone liking. 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.120 Listen. We've never really entertained the idea of a paywall. 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.960 That could be our paywall type thing. It's like, hey, 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.720 we're doing our pinky doll impression behind a paywall, which 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:45.240 would be great. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.680 I mean, have you seen OnlyFans revenue in twenty twenty three. 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.240 I was losing so many bets there that I was like, hey, 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.320 I mean I gotta make money somehow. 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.000 I think there's more demand for your bets. 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.400 Yeah, himself, I would hope, So, I would hope. So 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.520 you ready for the corniest transition ever? Yes, that would 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.279 be not safe for work. Spencer Strider right now is 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:14.680 not safe for Oh that was pretty good grade, real quick. Six. 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:17.599 I was going to give it a letter grade. But 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.240 if we're doing and you know what, I think that 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.920 was a strong eight and a half but clever, perfect, 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.240 Thank you. Arm was very like passive with the six. 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.240 I was expecting like a two or three from him. 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.760 So six is great. Spencer Strider. We just watched a sequence. 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.120 He's got nine punchouts for four as we hit the 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:39.679 record button against Arizona in it LANDA and right before 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.960 we hopped on, we just watched a sequence to open 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.560 the top of the fourth inning. Could tell Marte first 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.960 pitch at the top of the fourth one O nine 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.320 off the bat the other way. Acunya had like his 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.640 play card, like sitting in the heel of his glove 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.359 and he was on a dead sprint. It was a 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.680 really good effort by Acunya. Hit off the edge of 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.560 his glove, you know, kind of sat at the base 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.160 of the wall. Could tell Marty with a leadoff triple 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.960 first pitch of the fourth inning, Strider then strikes out 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.040 Corbyn Carroll and makes him look like a low A ballplayer. 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.200 He strikes out Christian Walker, makes him look like a 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.080 minor leaguer, and then he strikes out Dominic Canzone, who 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.600 is up from triple A. Looked like a triple A guy. Strider. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.240 They were talking about it on Brandon Goddon and his 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.960 partner were talking about it on Bally Sports South and 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.000 the Braves. Modern era record for k's in a season 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.840 is Smoltz at two sixty seven. Stryder's gonna blow past that, 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.720 and I know we did this exercise Peter with Ryan Finkelstein. Yeah, like, 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.160 this guy is striking out fourteen per nine in his career. 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.000 I know he's gotten blown up at points, but the 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.800 best version of Spencer Stroyder looks like the best pitcher 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.080 I've ever seen in my life. 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.280 He does do that to us sometimes. I mean, right now, 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.120 five innings, two hits, twelve k's against the Diamondbacks, who 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.960 are no slouch offensively, who won the first two games 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:00.120 against the Braves. Right we see the Braves as these 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.240 juggernauts who can never lose, who are on pace for 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.200 one hundred and eight game season, one hundred and eight wins, 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.840 and the Diamonbacks come in there and they're feisty. Then 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.400 sometimes you get Strider when he's feeling good, and he 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.240 does look like the best pitcher alive. The problem is 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.560 that the start before he got run up on by 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.640 the White Sox. He's been a little bit more inconsistent 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.120 this season, and I think it has a lot to 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.440 do with his velocity. But when you see and I 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.840 think I talked about this, there was one game where 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.360 I faded Spencer Schreider in some form of facet. I 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.240 took an over or something, and it was based on 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:35.120 Streider's velocity dipping below like ninety six. It wasn't the 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.440 typical ninety eight ninety nine at the top of the zone. 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.560 But then he threw his first pitch at ninety nine 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.080 in that game that I bet on. Of course, I 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:46.720 lost it because when Streider has that, it's unbelievable. So 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.520 I kind of grimaced when you said I could he 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.240 could beat John Smoltz two hundred and sixty seven. K's 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.559 not because he can't rack up that many cases. It's 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.920 just will the innings be there for him? But in 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:03.400 terms of a per inning, he's gonna blow past John Smoltz. 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.880 If he threw as many innings as John Smoltz did 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.600 in that season, which I assume was what in the 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.560 two twenties, he'd be well over three hundred strikeouts at 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.560 this pace. It's just in this day and age arm 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.960 our old man thoughts. In this day and age, pitchers 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.200 don't go past the fifth or the sixth inning. Yeah, 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.600 right now, Stre's got five IgGs, twelve k's. His pitch 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.680 count is getting up there right now, I still at 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.920 seventy two pitches. He might just throw. He might have 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.840 twenty sharukouts in this game. It's we're speaking right now. 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.800 Yeah, I mean it's for me even more than the velocity. 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.920 I feel like it's like the command of the fastball. 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.439 There's some days where he just gets he just gets 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.480 launched on. Like it's really about the home runs. Twelve 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.280 of his fourteen home runs this year have come on 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.960 the fastball, and if you look at the spots, the 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.480 majority of them are are right down the middle. And 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.120 then the ones that you know kind of were just 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.600 freak swings. One was a Miggie swing that I have 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.000 no idea how he did that. It was that one 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.200 that was off the plate inside, and then a couple 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:02.800 just guys that cheated on on elevated fastballs and hitters counts. 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.360 So for the most part, it's either a guy cheats 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.320 in a hitter's count and gets it or it's missing middle. 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.240 And the vast majority of his home runs are just 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.400 fastballs that miss middle. So that's really it. And that's 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.400 the crazy thing is as long as he keeps the 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:17.839 ball in the yard like he's going to give you 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.400 a quality start, and it just seems like when he's 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.520 one of those guys to the point of being the 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.680 most dominant. When he's locked in, it just seems like 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:29.120 it's feudal to even try. There's few guys that make 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.839 hitters look as silly as Spencer Strider makes them look. 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.640 The only thing, Arma, and I totally agree with you. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.359 I think it is more fastball command than straight up velocity. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.480 The thing is, when he has ninety nine, I feel 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.520 like he can get away with middle middle fastballs, like 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:43.920 I've seen it, just blow fast. 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:44.560 Yeah. 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.480 So it's like when he's ninety six and the command 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.400 isn't there, that's when he really can get blown up. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.640 But when he's ninety nine he can miss middle and 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.800 still get away with it. But these are big league 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:54.040 hitters who can hit a bullet. 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.880 So and the thing is, I think when he is 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.319 ninety nine, if you close your eyes and think about 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:04.000 Spencer Strider fastballs, you're probably viewing like, hey, top of 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.560 the zone, he's getting swings underneath it, ninety nine, ninety 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.240 eight upstairs. But to Arham's point, like this guy is 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.200 so freaking good when it comes to east to west 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.120 and north to south as well, Like I see so 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.959 many ninety eights dotted on the lower outside corner to 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.080 lefty bats. It's incredible from him when he's right, but 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.440 when he's not right, it's down the deck and its 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:29.240 bombs away. Courtesius stat Muse top ten in a single 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:33.000 season for k's per nine among qualified pitchers. Strider in 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.840 twenty twenty three would have if the season ended today, 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.920 and this is before this start against Arizona on Thursday, 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.640 the twentieth fourteen point three case per nine would be 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.760 the major league record. Shane Bieber in twenty twenty is 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.199 two twenty twenty. 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.280 Throwout, Yeah, it didn't count. 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.400 Garrett Cole in twenty nineteen with Houston thirteen point eight 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.880 k's pernine. That was like out of body experience the 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.640 entire year. Jacob de Gramm in twenty twenty, throw it 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.400 out the window. Randy Johnson in two thousand and one, 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:02.400 Pedro Martinez in ninety nine, Chris Sale in seventeen, schures 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:07.080 Are in nineteen. Like, that's the company that Strider's in 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:11.360 in year two of his major league career, and it 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.800 is the start that Doc Gooden had. I know that 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.200 we weren't alive for Doc Gooden, but this is what 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:20.400 I think the old heads of baseball fandom were experiencing 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.320 when they experienced Doc Good and they saw a guy 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:26.080 that was on the trajectory to become one of the 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.600 greatest came in of all time. And I it sucks 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.080 like I'm gonna bring him up, But I think that's 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.280 exactly the feeling that I had when watching Jose Fernandez 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.760 an arm. I'm sure that's the same thing that you 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:37.200 felt too. 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.480 Oh yeah, I mean that. 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.160 Was another one of those guys that when he was on, 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:45.439 it was like good luck and it was musty te fun. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.320 It's exactly what Strider is. Yeah, you just laugh at 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.560 the pitches that he's making. It's just it's there's a 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.360 different level and there's just like this this laughable factor 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.480 that's certain like just of the top top arms. 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:57.600 In the game. 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.520 Reached to Graham of course one of those guys too 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.360 that it's to put it into words, but it's just 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.120 like this guy's doing something that few can and Strider 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.320 when he's on, he's one of those guys. 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:07.520 On the mound. 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.000 And I also want to shout out just I know 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.400 we're talking a lot about Strider, but in that game 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.200 right now, end of the fifth it is still zero 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.800 zero because Zach Gallen, who is right now the front 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.360 runner for the National League Say Young is also shoving 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.760 against one of the best offenses that we've seen in 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.920 the last half decade. And another guy, Corbyn Burns, just 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.800 continues to dominate one four straight games for the Brewers, 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:32.199 and with him again. Earlier in the season, his cutter 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.360 velocity was down and so were a lot of his 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.320 different pitches. It didn't have the same zip that it 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:41.080 normally does. Past four starts, cutter velocity right back up 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.720 to ninety five, and right now he is in the 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.440 midst of a very good start against the Phillies. I 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.480 just looked at there was a runner on first base 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.080 and then I scrolled down two outs media double play. 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.240 I mean when he's on I still think he's one 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.480 of the best pitchers on the planet too. This Day 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.840 in Baseball's were recording during the day games on Friday, 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.199 like even Andrew abb It right now is shoving against 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.600 the Giants. Just good pitching. You put out a great 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:07.199 tweet on Twitter, Jack about uh with I think you 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.040 should leave and what I should mention about that. I 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.680 have gotten more dms saying I don't need to watch 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:15.959 it. It's not as funny as people are saying. It's a 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.160 very polarizing show because people are saying it's not funny 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.560 at all. But I also also gotten a couple dms 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.560 and people saying, you have to watch it. It's the 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:24.840 funniest thing I've ever watched. 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.480 So the YouTube comments say otherwise. I saw a couple 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.600 of YouTube comments saying, you gotta watch it. I will 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.840 tell you my mom, my girlfriend hate it. My dad 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.240 and my brother love it with a burning passion. I 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.680 have several friends that hate it. I have several friends 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.800 that love it. So it's not it's not a cheeseburger, Like, 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.640 nobody is going to have like a passive reaction to 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:47.239 it. It is very black and white. 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.040 Ar I'm kind of as a passive to cheeseburgers at 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:50.800 least now. 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.520 Yeah, I like it. I like it a lot. It's 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:54.080 it's fun. 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.600 But like I'm not I'm not one of those like 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.000 I'm not jack with what I think you should leave. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.200 I'm one of the rare like it but don't love it. 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.040 Guys like I enjoy putting it on. But I got 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:05.280 to be in. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.760 A certain mood, that's for sure. Yeah, So I had 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.080 no personality before that. So I just kind of viewed 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:11.960 that show as a chance to give myself a little 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.440 bit of personality, and I've ran with it. So that's 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.360 what I got going on. Spencer Strider generational talent, Tim 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:24.080 Robinson generational talent, Shintaro Fujinami generational talent. And now he's 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.720 the seventh inning guy for the sixth inn guy for 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.120 the Baltimore Orioles. What's he gonna do here? 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.160 I thought this was a good move for Baltimore. 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.320 I really did, because you know, Fuji, I think people 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.040 were quick to make fun of him because he's got 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.840 an era in the eighths, but it was also pretty 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:45.560 overblown that, like, oh, over his last fourteen appearances, he 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.200 has like nearing a sub too era, like a very 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.400 low twos and you know, he's striking out twenty five 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.560 percent of guys and he's walking eight percent versus like, 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.080 you know, twenty compared to twelve percent walk rate in 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:01.280 a twelve vru through his first you know, sixteen appearances. 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.440 I think it's somewhere in the middle, like you can't 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:09.320 expect lights out set up man Shintaro Fujinami. But I 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.680 thought this was a really good middle relief pickup for 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:12.800 Baltimore down the stretch. 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.800 Yeah, just oh ahead, go ahead, Peter. No, I was 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.040 just gonna read you on the stats because you mentioned 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.800 at the at the top of the episode his stats 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.560 through like his first eighteen games in last sixteen games. 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.800 Foolish Baseball put it out. So in his first eighteen games, 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.280 he said, three time All Star in the MPB. But 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.160 he came over and looked like the worst pitcher that's 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.640 ever told the Rubbers because he was a starter. Yeah, 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.080 twelve to one to ninety RA, twenty percent k rate, 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.200 fifteen percent walk rate. But then in his last sixteen 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.880 games two four five ERA, twenty six percent k rate, 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:50.400 eight percent walk rate. Location has been much better. It's 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.800 just Oriels. Fans looking for dill See said you got 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.320 Shintaro fu Jadabi instead. 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.760 Yeah, well, you know, I do. I do like the 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.360 move because they literally gave up nothing. They gave up 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.680 Easton Lucas, who's like, you know, a quadruple a depth arms. 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:07.480 We got Pepperdine. 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:08.560 I have no idea. 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.000 All I know is that Easton Lucas was drafted by 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:15.439 the Marlins, traded for Jonathan VR, who was then traded 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.159 for my friend Gryff and Co. Nine, so indirectly was 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.080 the first domino of bringing Griff to the Marlins. 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.240 But Lucas is throwing well this year, but he's. 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.440 Kind of like a lefty, crafty reliever, Like you throw 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.320 him in in a spot start maybe two. 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:30.960 Like it really was. 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.359 I think a dump of salary for the Oriole or 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.120 for the A's. I think they wanted to give Fujinami 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.240 a shot. See how it looks. Turns out he's just 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.560 a reliever. It's a one year deal. Go get a 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.639 forty man arm and that's exactly what they did. But 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.880 for Fuji, he has not walked a batter in ten outings, 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.160 which is saying a lot, because you walked a lot 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.840 of batters prior to that. Twelve k's no walks in 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.560 his last ten appearances. The stuff looks good. His fastball's 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.000 average ninety nine point eight miles per hour splitter averages 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.960 ninety three to ninety four over that last ten start span. 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.679 Like if it all clicks for this guy, and we 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.320 know the Orioles had a little bit of a reliever 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.320 lab going, like Fuji could be a nice little pickup 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:12.800 for them here down down the stretch. 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.720 I was right fourteenth round pick at a Pepperdine in 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.879 nineteen easton Lucas. I gotta get a fucking life, man, 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:24.000 I shouldn't know that. I like it. And I saw 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:29.360 Jenner Cano suck in Saint Paul last year and when 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:31.880 he had that like crazy start to the end. He's 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:33.160 an all star with a sub too. 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:34.800 I don't know. 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:36.840 It was shocking at the beginning, but then you see 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:38.720 what Bautista has turned into at the age of what 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.240 twenty seven was his rookie year. Last year, Cano is 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:45.480 thirty and he's kicking ass like this twenty nine thirty 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.840 like Fujin Nami can absolutely capture some of that magic. 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:51.600 And being on a good team, I feel like might 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.359 help guys. I don't know, like that's that's just a 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:58.840 thought there. So I did like that pick up you mentioned. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.479 It's nothing. They didn't have to give up any of 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:05.400 that world class farm. They can still go ad shit. 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:09.840 My only worry is the Orioles. Fuji's gonna make what 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:11.200 four and a half for the rest of this year, 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.440 maybe four for the rest of this year. That's four 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.640 million dollars, like they're feeling it. He signed one year nine, right, 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.400 I think it's three to three the rest of the way, 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.320 is it three point three? The rest of the way. 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.879 My worry, just while you guys look up the contract stuff, 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:27.320 is that the Orioles are going to keep being the 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.359 Orioles and not trade anybody and not get the big 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.520 time starter. At the deadline it. 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:34.720 Was one year three point twenty five, so they're literally 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:36.600 paying him like a million dollars the rest of the year. 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:39.040 They will feel that too. Who did I actually fuse 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:40.160 him with one year nine? 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:41.560 I don't know. 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:46.280 I have no idea. It's so weird. Yeah, man, Like, 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.080 I don't know they would have to pay Otani twelve. 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:50.399 That's my worry. 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:54.159 Yeah, But are you are you guys feeling kind of 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.160 the same thing as me, where the Orioles have all 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:00.159 these prospects but then just continue to not get at 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.160 the big fish at the deadline, Like, do you guys 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.880 really truly think that this is finally the year where 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.640 they add the big piece? Because I just keep having 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.160 my doubts and it's based on past history. Maybe they 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.679 do it finally, But after the fud Ghinami deal, I 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:16.560 was like, are we just in the same thing and 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.639 it's not like the Orioles absolutely need to add an arm. 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:23.160 It would be incredibly impactful, and they should, but they're 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.840 not in dire need of one, and they'll probably just 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:28.640 look at other system being like, I think we're fine 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.600 right now, and the window's just going to continue to open, 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.080 and we don't need to add a Dylan Cease right. 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.120 We don't need to add to Shane Bieber, We don't 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.120 need to add even a lucasgi Alito. I just keep 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.520 having those thoughts of we always expect the Oriols to 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:42.200 do it, and then they never actually do it. 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:44.880 You know, the last time do you know the last 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.040 time Baltimore won the American League East. 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:51.919 It's been a while, but Ooles fans are in first place. 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:53.879 They're probably loving it right now. The bird bath and 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:55.160 right field is electric. 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.919 That's my answer. Last time is fourteen, Like, if you 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:01.760 are on the cusp of doing something you haven't done 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:03.639 since twenty fourteen, I think now is the time they 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:04.439 push their chips in. 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:08.280 I agree that makes logical sense, right. 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:12.359 But well, here here's the thing, though, is what's out 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:16.800 there if Dylan C's indeed is not available, which is 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:18.919 we've talked about that, that's insane to me. But if 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:22.760 he's not available, Dilito doesn't really move the needle. 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.240 Jamont might. I think Jaymn's a guy that could move 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:27.680 the needle. 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.200 But then you're looking at the rental market. That really 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:33.240 the only controllable pitcher that can help you this year 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.359 is Dylan Cees that I can think of, Like, is 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:38.560 Aaron Savali gonna do that much for you for. 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:41.639 The Orioles especially now forearm thing going on. 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:45.040 Stroman's a rental, but that's a rental that I think 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:46.879 can makes sense. I think what we're gonna end up 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:52.320 seeing the Orioles do is just get the highest prized rental, 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:57.000 which would be Stroman and or Jamont. I think if 0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:59.840 they go get Stroman could kind of be an audition too, 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:01.400 because I do think they're going to spend a little 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:03.800 bit this offseason because they have their core locked up 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:08.680 for very cheap with control for a while and they 0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:10.440 can go out. Now if they like Stroman, they can, 0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:13.119 they can extend him. They can you know, probably give 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:14.840 him a nice offer and keep him around. And now 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:19.080 they've got their their probably most consistent and ace, so 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.560 to speak, even though he's not truly an ace. That's 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:24.120 a good start. I think they do something like that. 0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:26.040 I think they should call on seas and try. But 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:26.520 if he's not. 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:28.520 Available, what else is there? 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:32.760 There's just not really any other impactful frontline options out there. 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:36.000 Yeah, I think that's a good transition into what we 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:37.919 want to you know, talk about for the next you know, 0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:40.719 forty forty five minutes or so, is uh, you know, 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:44.880 trade destinations for guys. And we each have three. I've 0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:50.800 got Eduardo Rodriguez, I've got Marcus Stroman and Tim Anderson Peter, 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:51.720 which three you got? 0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:57.280 I have Shoho Tawni, I have Lucas g Alito. And 0:22:57.320 --> 0:23:01.360 then I'm trying to cook up something with the Cardinals 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:04.840 and the Giants because they're just such a good match 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:07.639 for each other, and that's more of a workshop. I 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:11.040 have a huge Galaxy brain trade that I sent in 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:14.119 the group chat got immediate two laugh emojis, so I'm 0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:16.600 probably gonna get laughed off the podcast for it. But 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:18.320 I just got something that makes sense. So I want 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:20.960 to workshop a Cardinals Giants trade. But then of course 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.359 I have a Gelito trade and a Tani trade. 0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:24.960 That wasn't a joke. 0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:28.920 It wasn't a joke. We're talking Galaxy Brain. I mean, yeah, 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.960 you're right at Major League Baseball. 0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:34.360 Save that one for last, because if you do get 0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:37.160 laughed off the podcast, like, it'll come at the very end. 0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:38.160 So we get your other two. 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:40.960 I bet if I you know mentioned, hey, I think 0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:42.800 Max shirs Are and Trade Turner are going to get 0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:45.360 included in the same deal. At the time. It might 0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:48.399 be funny. We're just talking trades. We're just talking trades. 0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:50.840 We'll get to that one. 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:55.960 I'm gonna highlight Dylan Carlson and jam On and then 0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:57.600 I have a third one that I'm I have a 0:23:58.000 --> 0:23:59.840 a couple that I'm deciding between, depending on how the 0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:02.080 conversation goes, I'll pick the third one. 0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:04.760 Got you, I think mine are probably the least sexy. 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:07.280 I can start with Erod if you want, and then 0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:09.960 we can just kind of go clockwise, or we can 0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:12.280 knock Mine out, Peters out, and Arms out if you want. 0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:14.159 Yeah, why did you start? 0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:19.080 Okay, So I'm looking at EDWARDO. Rodriguez obviously Lefty with 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:21.840 the Tigers, and you know, he is one of the 0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:24.400 better rentals, and he just had a really good start 0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:26.679 earlier this week. I think Erod is a guy that 0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:31.840 is upping his price, possibly on the rental market. I 0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:37.159 still don't think he's going to be that impressive. I 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:40.120 think Erod makes a ton of sense for the Houston Astros, 0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:42.800 and I want to figure out a way to get 0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:45.280 Erod to Houston. I know that there was a rumor 0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:47.840 going around about, you know, Dylan Ceese being the astros 0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:51.159 number one priority. Like, no, I don't think they have 0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:53.359 the farm to do that, especially with the control, but 0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:55.879 they have the farm to go get a rental Erod. 0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:58.200 I think they can honestly do a one for one here. 0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:02.040 Tell me if it's out landish right now, and like, 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:06.080 this could be the Astros just bullying the Tigers and 0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:09.679 dominating this trade. If the Tigers were smart, I think 0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.560 I would start the conversation by asking for Clifford, for 0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:16.840 Ryan Clifford for e Rod. I don't know if they're 0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:19.080 going to do that. I trust Scott Harris to ask 0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.959 for Ryan Clifford. Do you think a Melton for Eduardo 0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:24.000 Rodriguez deal straight up gets it done or no? 0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:28.920 I think it could. 0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:31.159 People people really like I like Melton a lot too, 0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:32.960 and I know that people within the Astros org I 0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:36.320 was literally just talking about these guys today, as I've 0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:38.600 been kind of finalizing the top one hundred and also 0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:42.240 getting working on the Astros Top ten, I think that 0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:46.800 would get it done. Like Melton's pretty darn good and 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:51.080 pretty well loved within that org, So yeah, I think 0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:52.080 I think that could do it. 0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:54.880 Okay, what do you think of the e Rod fit 0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:55.760 in Houston, Peter? 0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:59.119 I love the Erod fit in Houston. Right, they go 0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:03.040 down with Luis Garcia. They need starting pitching, Like Brandon Black, 0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:05.640 I don't think is the answer long term, Ronel Blanco, 0:26:05.720 --> 0:26:08.600 I don't think is the answer long term? You don't, No, 0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:11.600 I don't think so. And this isn't our normal Astros 0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:15.000 team where we're used to where it's you know, Verlander 0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:18.520 and and you know Framber is the two and then 0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:22.160 Christian Xavier throwing no hitters. Christian Xavier has really struggled 0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:24.280 this season. Like this is an Astros team where we're 0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:27.399 not really used to them really needing starting pitching. And 0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:29.919 it's not like, oh, a starting pitching, you know, a 0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:31.920 starting pitcher would just be a cherry on top of 0:26:31.960 --> 0:26:34.480 the Sunday. This is a team that at this point 0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:38.400 is desperate for starting pitching. With the decline of Christian Xavier. 0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:43.000 So I think they absolutely need Eduardo Rodriguez, and I 0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:46.160 think Scott Harris can say, we know that you need 0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:48.760 Eduardo Rodriguez, We're gonna need a little bit more. We're 0:26:48.760 --> 0:26:51.480 gonna need you to overpay. And like you said, I'm 0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:55.120 confident Scott Harris's ability not to get bullied here. Right 0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:58.240 when he traded Gregory Soto, he certainly didn't get bullied, 0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.040 and he's a good GM. We just haven't seen it 0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:03.960 quite on the field yet, even though the Tigers have 0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:07.879 performed above expectations, I think they're going to get a 0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:09.920 decent Hall for e Rod. But at the same time, 0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:12.840 I think the Astros are perfect fit there. 0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:15.840 All right, do we want to snake it? Somebody want 0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:16.040 to go? 0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:21.640 I'll go, okay, go ahead. So I was looking at 0:27:21.800 --> 0:27:26.199 trades for Lucasgilito because I think Dylan cees right now, 0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:28.240 I think it's like fifty to fifty. I think that's fair. 0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:30.480 Fifty to fifty he gets traded. It's almost like a 0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:31.520 coin flip at this point. 0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:35.720 With the socks ineptitude, I'd say thirty seventy he gets traded, 0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:39.840 like yeah, yeah, thirty thirty seventy or no. 0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:43.119 Thirty. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's very unlikely. 0:27:43.200 --> 0:27:45.680 I think they're going to just sit on the most 0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:49.000 valuable asset, which is so fucking crazy. 0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:51.160 Of course they would, but at this point, I think 0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:53.800 it's ninety eight to two ninety eight being yes that 0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.920 lucasgi Alito at least gets traded. So I look back 0:27:57.000 --> 0:28:01.000 last year, who's a team that could really use a 0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.760 bullpen arm and use his starter on top of it? 0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:07.160 And I look back remember when the Cardinals acquired jose 0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:11.520 Kntana and Chris Stratton in exchange for Joan Oviedo and 0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:16.919 a third base prospect, Malcolm Nunez. Malcolm Nunyez, So I 0:28:17.040 --> 0:28:22.000 was looking at okay, two prospects or Ovieda wasn't really 0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:24.160 a prospect, but he was a good young starting pitcher 0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:27.280 who at least made his debuts so far. Yeah, tweener exactly. 0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:31.320 So who's a team with a couple of tweeners right 0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:33.720 now who also have a good pharm system that could 0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:38.280 use that. So my prediction is Lucas g Alito and 0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:45.000 Kenyan Middleton to the Dodgers for Emmett Shean and then 0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:50.640 another piece, most likely now the second prospect. I don't 0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:53.640 think it has to be crazy because san is you know, 0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:55.560 he's a twenty three year old starter who does have 0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:59.320 good stuff and arm raves about the Tulsa drillers. But 0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:02.160 I was thinking, maybe you add a land and knack 0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:03.880 on top of it and call it a deal. 0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:08.600 So I'm gonna say Shean's too good for that. She's 0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:11.280 not a tweener. Shean's like a big part of what 0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:16.440 the Dodgers want to do moving forward. I'm curious how 0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:19.120 low the stock is for Gavin Stone. I feel like 0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:21.520 Stone might not even be good for that, but she 0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:25.960 And I think is like not untouchable. Like if they 0:29:25.960 --> 0:29:27.600 have to go get if they have to go to 0:29:27.640 --> 0:29:30.000 part with Shean for Otani, they're gonna do it. But 0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:32.960 I think for a guy like gi Alido for a rental, 0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:34.520 I don't think they want to move she In at all. 0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:37.920 The thing is like, I wonder who they value more, 0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:40.640 Stone or Shean, because I'm looking at Shean and you know, 0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:42.400 he's had a bumpy start to the season. He's still 0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:44.400 is young, but so is Gavin Stone. And these guys, 0:29:44.560 --> 0:29:46.880 these rookie pitchers are gonna go through their ups and 0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:51.200 downs early, I personally think, and you guys can correct 0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:54.880 me if I'm wrong, of the top starting pitchers that 0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:58.720 they have is she and the guy that they would 0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:01.120 be most likely willing to move, because you are getting 0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:03.560 a guy in Lucas Gilito who has had a really 0:30:03.600 --> 0:30:07.120 good year, very similar to Jose Kintana in that sense, 0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:10.520 where Kintana was around a three to five era one 0:30:10.520 --> 0:30:13.320 of the better rentals at the deadline, very similar to Gilito. 0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:16.440 Then they got Stratton, but we're thrown in Middleton, who's 0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:18.560 been a great reliever. Maybe to sweeten the deal, they 0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:20.640 go with Kendall Graveman, Right, they go with a very 0:30:20.680 --> 0:30:24.560 good reliever in order to get Shean. But the Dodgers 0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:26.960 just have an embarrassment of riches of just really good 0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:30.240 young starting pitchers. So I thought Shean might be the 0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:33.600 odd man out in this equation. But I feel like 0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:37.680 that recipe of one of these young starting pitchers on 0:30:37.720 --> 0:30:41.480 the Dodgers plus a maybe Landin Nak is too much. 0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:44.320 Maybe like a twenty to thirtieth rank prospect. Maybe someone 0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:47.840 even outside would make the deal for a Lucasgilito and 0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:48.800 a big time reliever. 0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:53.520 Yeah, I think they could put it together with some 0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:57.400 of those young guys. I definitely want to keep Shehan. 0:30:58.040 --> 0:30:59.960 I think he might be there. 0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:02.880 Best arm right now of the of that group. 0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:06.880 But they have who's just that group that you're talking about. 0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:08.880 Probably Miller, Stone, she and Pepio. 0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:10.520 Besides Miller. 0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:14.920 Miller is in his own Miller's graduated, starting pitcher pitches 0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:19.400 every fifth day. He's separated himself very quickly. I think 0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:23.760 she hen Stone, then you have Nack, you have Frosco, 0:31:24.200 --> 0:31:26.719 you have, you have all those guys kind of in 0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:30.960 that range, Kyle Hurt, you have. I would I would 0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.240 think that they could just part with one or two 0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:35.840 of any of those guys and and get it done. 0:31:36.040 --> 0:31:37.440 I don't think they need to move she at hand. 0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:39.640 But like to Peter's point, just a couple of the 0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:43.560 really solid double A to triple A starters one or 0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:45.880 in a flyer and you could probably get it done. 0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:48.880 Because those guys are all thrown really well and have 0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:51.600 pretty good value right now from that double A and 0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:52.400 triple A area. 0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:54.480 That's why like workshopping it. So do you think like 0:31:54.480 --> 0:31:59.800 a Pepio and a Knack for Gilito and Kendall Graveman, 0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:02.880 do we have a deal we have still between rick 0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:05.360 On and Andrew Friedman, Knack and Hurt. 0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:06.640 I think would get it done. 0:32:07.720 --> 0:32:13.600 I think, yes, I do. I think that we overestimate 0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:16.840 the price of rentals could be because it is two months. 0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:19.400 Like it's two months and you've got like, if you 0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:22.160 move Keenan Middleton, you got two months of Keenan, you 0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:26.480 got two months of Giolito going to La like you're swapping. 0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:31.120 I guess twelve years of service for four months of 0:32:31.560 --> 0:32:34.280 you know, help. So you got to view it in 0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:37.080 that way. I think if they were to move Gelito 0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:40.400 in Middleton, I don't think they need Graveman. If they 0:32:40.400 --> 0:32:43.160 were to go Geelito and Middleton, I think something like 0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:45.680 Frostso and NAC could get it done. 0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:47.320 Yeah, fair enough. I like that. 0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:50.880 Yeah, that'd be great for the White Sox too, honestly. 0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:53.480 I think so, yeah, they need they need warm bodies 0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:55.360 in that system. We've talked about that. 0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:55.680 That can throw. 0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:56.440 Yes. 0:32:57.680 --> 0:32:58.960 I was watching The Twins yesterday. 0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:02.120 I know Peter was two, and they're a frustrating team 0:33:02.160 --> 0:33:03.680 for a lot of reasons we've talked about. We just 0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:06.880 talked about on the last episode, but their rotation right 0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:09.640 now is unbelievably good. I mean, it's just been steady 0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:13.120 and consistent. Kentemi Aida now is throwing really well now 0:33:13.160 --> 0:33:15.760 that he's healthy, six and a third of nine. 0:33:15.680 --> 0:33:17.640 K's two runs. 0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:20.840 So you've got the best producing in terms of f 0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:23.560 war rotation and baseball, and then you've got a lineup 0:33:23.560 --> 0:33:26.520 that strikes out with the worst of them, and then 0:33:26.600 --> 0:33:29.640 also really struggles against left handed pitching and the second 0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:32.880 worst WRC plus against left handed pitching Byron Buckson can't 0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:35.200 play center. They're playing Michael A. Taylor out there, They're 0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:38.360 playing Willie Castro out there. They're like platooning them. It's gross. 0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:42.080 I think they need to go get Dylan Carlson. And Carlson, 0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:45.920 you know, he's not fully becoming the player that we 0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:48.000 wanted him to be, but he's still twenty four. But 0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:49.320 the big reason why I like him is he can 0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:52.600 play in everyday center field. He is way better from 0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:55.360 the right side, which is interesting. So he would definitely 0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:58.080 help with those platoon splits. And even if you want to, 0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:00.240 you know, give him some days off, you know, against 0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:01.800 some good rieties, you can do that. But I still 0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:04.200 think he helps them a ton. One forty two WRC 0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:06.280 plus in his career against left handed pitching, he's been 0:34:06.520 --> 0:34:09.880 really good against left handed pitching again this year. The Twins, 0:34:10.360 --> 0:34:13.720 their rotation's pretty locked up for a while. Cardinals want pitching. 0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:16.439 Twins have plenty of arms that, you know, I don't 0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:18.600 think they have to worry about in the rotation. Plus, 0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:21.040 they're going to get Chris Paddock back, you know, pretty soon, 0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:25.040 which is a decent arm that just adds to the fold. 0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:27.200 So I think they could put together some sort of 0:34:27.280 --> 0:34:31.840 package around Louis Varland, who instantly could be a rotation 0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:35.279 option for the miserable Cardinals pitching situation. And then you 0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:37.600 added David Festa, who threw in the Futures Game, who 0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:39.279 I actually think that they were kind of pushing in 0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:43.280 the Futures Game to show really nasty stuff, big time upside. 0:34:43.360 --> 0:34:45.640 You throw in a third flyer piece, you know, a 0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:48.239 lower level piece, and I think that could be enough 0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:51.080 for Carlson, given that he's good. He has three years 0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:55.400 of control, but I think his value's never really been lower, 0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:57.959 and the Cardinals have made it clear that their plan 0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:01.240 is to put him on the bench potential once Tyler 0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:04.200 O'Neil comes back, which would even further deplete his value, 0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:06.799 So I think Varlin Festa and a piece could get 0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:08.120 it done. 0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:11.880 Before last week, I would have said that that is like, 0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:14.279 you still need to add more on Minnesota side to 0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:17.480 get Carlson. But after what we've heard from Ali Marmle, 0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:20.799 like you don't need dead more. It feels like they 0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:23.280 might just let him go to you for misaiel Orbino, 0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:25.520 who's got like a five fifty ops in high A 0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:29.040 right now. So I like that move a lot. The 0:35:29.080 --> 0:35:30.960 fact that that guy is already being looked at by 0:35:31.000 --> 0:35:35.520 damage good as damaged goods by his own team is despicable. 0:35:35.840 --> 0:35:40.520 On Ali Marmle is like on the hottest of hot 0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:44.000 seats ever, and only half of it has to do 0:35:44.080 --> 0:35:45.880 with what happens between the lines. 0:35:45.960 --> 0:35:50.080 Yeah, Yeah, that guy just needs to shut up, honestly 0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:54.200 sometimes honestly, dude, like he's he's the most immature major 0:35:54.280 --> 0:35:56.120 league manager I've seen in years. 0:35:56.400 --> 0:35:56.960 Just rips. 0:35:57.000 --> 0:36:01.120 Dudes like that all have like pros pro reputations to 0:36:01.160 --> 0:36:05.240 Everybody loves Dylan Carlson, everybody loves Styler O'Neill. Wilson contrere 0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:08.920 is another story. Yeah, but that like it's it's shocking 0:36:08.920 --> 0:36:10.360 to me because they kind of get the same treatment 0:36:10.360 --> 0:36:11.200 as Wilson. 0:36:10.880 --> 0:36:11.800 In a lot of ways. 0:36:12.719 --> 0:36:14.839 But just going back to the Twins side of it, 0:36:14.960 --> 0:36:19.160 Twins fans have to be hurting talking about making trades 0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:22.080 at the deadline, like do they trust their general manager 0:36:22.200 --> 0:36:26.200 after trading aways Spencer Steer ed Christian Acarnacio and straand 0:36:26.239 --> 0:36:28.960 for Tyler Valley. But at the same time, that's a 0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:30.719 trade that makes a ton of sense for him. And 0:36:31.160 --> 0:36:34.160 the Twins are such an interesting team because when they're hitting, 0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:37.120 which they are right now. They're having a pretty great 0:36:37.160 --> 0:36:39.160 series against the Mariners, and it's carried over since the 0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:42.560 All Star break. They're hitting home runs and Ward Julienne 0:36:42.600 --> 0:36:46.160 is fantastic. Max Kepler's finally hitting again, you know, even 0:36:46.200 --> 0:36:49.080 from top to bottom, like Willie Castro has been hitting 0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:51.120 for them, And when Willie Castro in the seven hole 0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:54.440 is hitting, this team looks incredible because arm you talk 0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:57.360 about the pitching, right, you can go down the line 0:36:57.360 --> 0:37:00.680 in every day from top to bottom, all the way 0:37:00.680 --> 0:37:03.440 down from Joe Ryan down to Ken to Maida. You 0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:05.880 can get an ace type performance. It's Ken to Miata 0:37:05.960 --> 0:37:09.840 versus Luis Castillo, and guess who outdueled who Ken to Miaida, 0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:11.880 Like that's what they can do every fifth day. But 0:37:11.920 --> 0:37:14.000 when they aren't hitting and they're striking out at a 0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:16.239 thirty percent rate, you're like, it doesn't even matter what 0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:18.080 they get from their pitchings. But when they are hitting, 0:37:18.640 --> 0:37:21.200 it's a really really good team and they could use 0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:23.480 just another boost of a guy who doesn't strike out 0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:26.000 every yet that and is good against left handed pitching, 0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:29.400 because that's also been their problem now when they're striking out, 0:37:29.440 --> 0:37:32.759 their problems are against everyone. But also Carlson adds that 0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:36.400 element of defense too, And Varland ranks really high in 0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:39.240 like stuff plus metrics because he's got really good stuff. 0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:42.359 He just hasn't fully put it together yet. I just 0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:44.759 feel like knowing what the Cardinals have done with their 0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:46.480 pitching development, like do they get him, but do they 0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:48.840 un lock something or does he just continue to be 0:37:48.920 --> 0:37:52.000 kind of met and no matter, the Wives end up 0:37:52.080 --> 0:37:54.640 just getting the best of the deal, because I think 0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:57.920 we know at this point Dylan Carlson is not damaged goods. 0:37:58.239 --> 0:38:00.840 He's just a good player who struggled a little bit 0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:03.440 last season when I think he was going through an injury, 0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:04.399 and I. 0:38:04.360 --> 0:38:07.000 Think he's everything they need to Like Peter said, like 0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:09.560 just a glue guy that they need. They need something 0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:11.640 in the middle of all these all these big whiffs 0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:14.000 and big boppers, and they need somebody that they can 0:38:14.080 --> 0:38:15.480 kind of just put out there in the outfield and 0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:17.040 not have to really think about it. And if that 0:38:17.080 --> 0:38:19.600 guy's even your nine hitter, as like a second leadoff, 0:38:20.320 --> 0:38:21.800 he's in a position where he can thrive. 0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:23.480 I think he needs a change of scenery. 0:38:23.640 --> 0:38:25.440 I really do think it'll be beneficial for him to 0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:26.400 just get out of Saint. 0:38:26.239 --> 0:38:29.480 Louis and I've been go thrive. I really do you know? 0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:33.239 He feels super Marshy, he feels super branded Marshie Ye 0:38:33.520 --> 0:38:36.320 and Brandon marsh was he was hitting ninth in the 0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:37.360 World Series? Was he not? 0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:38.560 Yeah? 0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:40.480 I think it was eighth or nine. Like he is 0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:43.879 totally Brandon marsh of this year. So I think that's 0:38:43.920 --> 0:38:46.440 pretty spot on. Real quick, before we move on, have 0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:49.640 you noticed what all the older announcers are calling Edward Julienne. 0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:54.200 They're calling him Eddie Julian like they don't want to 0:38:54.280 --> 0:38:56.720 learn how to say it, like with a French twang 0:38:56.760 --> 0:39:00.240 at all, Like Edward Julien is like pretty easy to say. 0:39:00.360 --> 0:39:03.720 But they're just like Oh yeah, American baseball name Eddie Julian. 0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:06.440 Yeah, but Eddie Juliet sounds like you could play for 0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:09.680 like the nineteen twenty Philadelphia A's or something like Eddie 0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:12.480 Julian takes the gets up to the plate with like 0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:15.600 enormous wool pants like Eddie Juliant. 0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:18.360 Though, I think we should just call him by his 0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:20.359 name and like how you're supposed to say his name. 0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:24.320 But okay, I'm going to take you guys to Marcus Stroman. 0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:28.360 I saw that the Rays are quote doing their homework 0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:33.719 on Stroman, and I want to attach some sort of 0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:36.480 idea to this because I think that is a perfect fit. 0:39:37.960 --> 0:39:41.000 It was not like Morosi or Hayman that was saying like, 0:39:41.040 --> 0:39:43.600 oh rais have checked in. It was Patrick Mooney and 0:39:43.640 --> 0:39:47.439 Sahada Sharma who covered the Cubs for the Athletic and 0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:50.000 they said it like in a podcast conversation. They said, 0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:52.400 the Rays, you know, could have interested in Bellinger and Stroman, 0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:56.040 but they've done their homework on Marcus Stroman, and I 0:39:56.680 --> 0:40:00.000 think that's a good fit because the Rays need availability 0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:03.120 in the rotation so bad. You think about how volatile 0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:05.640 that rotation is, how talented it is, but how volatile 0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:09.520 like they should be clamoring for Zach Efflin two point zero, 0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:13.239 and I think that's Stroman. I think Strowman embodies reliability. 0:40:13.280 --> 0:40:17.120 He embodies six innings per start, seven innings per start 0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:19.719 of two run ball. He's gonna roll ground balls. He's 0:40:19.760 --> 0:40:22.680 going to strike out, you know, five guys and seven innings, 0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:25.239 and he's going to give you an opportunity to win 0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:28.560 if you have a good offense. We also know that 0:40:28.640 --> 0:40:31.719 they can deal with those loud personalities. We already saw 0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:34.399 the Wander Franco thing pop up, and they took care 0:40:34.440 --> 0:40:37.439 of it in a very quiet way, in a non 0:40:37.560 --> 0:40:40.480 ali marmole way. They took care of an immature Wander 0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:43.840 Franco moment. I think they can handle a guy that 0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:47.719 like you know, has you know it, has loud actions 0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:50.680 in the clubhouse and Strowman. So I think that this 0:40:51.040 --> 0:40:54.560 rental fit is perfect for a team that just needs 0:40:54.640 --> 0:40:57.000 good pitchers in the starting rotation consistently. 0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:00.719 I also think he wants to win. You see that. 0:41:00.880 --> 0:41:04.000 I mean talk about a guy that always just rises 0:41:04.040 --> 0:41:06.160 to the occasion on the big stage. I think they're 0:41:06.200 --> 0:41:08.520 gonna get You're always getting a really good version of 0:41:08.520 --> 0:41:09.960 Stroman right now. But I think you get the best 0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:13.040 out of Stroman if he's pitching meaningful baseball games for 0:41:13.080 --> 0:41:15.040 the Rays and he's gonna git free agency. That's the 0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:17.160 kind of guy that I could see the Ray's paying 0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:20.160 because it's not going to be out of this world money. 0:41:21.040 --> 0:41:24.040 And honestly, I know Stroman just kind of wants to 0:41:24.239 --> 0:41:26.919 hunker down in one more place and kind of play 0:41:26.920 --> 0:41:29.560 his days out there. From everything I've I've seen him say, 0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:34.840 what better place than a team that's perpetually in I 0:41:34.840 --> 0:41:37.520 would say in the Hunts and pretty competitive. And that's 0:41:37.560 --> 0:41:39.279 for a guy that has kind of struggled to play 0:41:39.280 --> 0:41:40.960 for competitive teams over the last. 0:41:40.800 --> 0:41:41.480 Couple of years. 0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:45.520 Can I give you a one for one idea, Ronda? No, 0:41:46.440 --> 0:41:49.399 but Sabe, I think that's enough. 0:41:50.920 --> 0:41:52.160 But Sabe might not be enough. 0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:58.880 And Meisner, it's just Cubs fans aren't gonna be excited 0:41:58.920 --> 0:42:01.160 with that return for Marcustra been considering he has more 0:42:01.239 --> 0:42:02.040 years of control. 0:42:03.120 --> 0:42:04.440 No, he he really doesn't. 0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:07.279 Though he's got a player option hell opped out. 0:42:07.640 --> 0:42:10.000 He might opt out. It's a good point he will. 0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:14.879 Yeah, yeah, hmm, it's a rental. 0:42:14.920 --> 0:42:17.920 I know, But that God, that's just such a boring return, 0:42:18.080 --> 0:42:21.000 but it might it might be the answer. But I 0:42:21.040 --> 0:42:23.560 know they alre to get rid of Marcus Stroman when 0:42:23.600 --> 0:42:28.200 they're still somewhat in it in the division. You know, 0:42:28.320 --> 0:42:30.640 the Reds there, they went on that Coultrie where the 0:42:30.640 --> 0:42:34.239 Milwaukee Brewers kind of bullied them a little bit, and 0:42:34.280 --> 0:42:36.799 then the Brewers themselves have their own issues, but they've 0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:39.680 been playing much better baseball. Like if the Cubs were 0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:43.840 to trade their ace, even though I think Justin Steele 0:42:43.880 --> 0:42:45.880 at this point is their ace, but Steels coming off 0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:47.480 a really rough outing gets the Red Sox, but that 0:42:47.520 --> 0:42:49.839 doesn't take anything away from his a status, but one 0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:55.640 of their aces, like kind of arm said, like would 0:42:55.760 --> 0:42:58.720 is Manzardo too much? Like we got to give Cubs fans, 0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:05.600 you know, something for Stroman at least, I mean. 0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:09.560 Rental season man I Willie Vasquez. 0:43:10.600 --> 0:43:14.560 Oh, they need to They need to clear a forty spot, 0:43:14.719 --> 0:43:16.959 so that that's the thing. So I think it's got 0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:24.960 to be either Bruhan, Arnda, Rene Pine would probably be 0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:28.360 of interest. They could use some catching help along with Amaya, 0:43:28.440 --> 0:43:30.320 but I think they should they should just play Amya more. 0:43:31.760 --> 0:43:36.080 I think Ronda and and A in another piece, Ronda 0:43:36.120 --> 0:43:39.120 and Blake Hunt or something like that. Is is good enough, Ronda. 0:43:39.120 --> 0:43:41.239 They can plug right in right away. They just need 0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:43.960 bats and he's a guy that can obviously swing it 0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:44.920 and he's big league ready. 0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:49.719 Okay, I know it's sad. I know it's underwhelming. I 0:43:49.719 --> 0:43:53.480 know like this disappointed, dejected look right now. 0:43:53.719 --> 0:43:57.120 Because I feel for Cubs fans. It's you know, they're 0:43:57.160 --> 0:43:59.399 They're a tough team to evaluate because they're not out 0:43:59.400 --> 0:44:02.080 of it, but they're in it either. And to trade 0:44:02.120 --> 0:44:05.640 Stroman and not get like if I'm the Cubs personally 0:44:06.000 --> 0:44:09.480 and I'm trading Stroman, no, yeah, I mean Junior Kevendaro 0:44:09.480 --> 0:44:12.680 would be fucking amazing. Not him, but like I would 0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:20.640 like at least a man Zarto. I would rather have 0:44:20.719 --> 0:44:24.960 like one top like one great prospect, rather than like 0:44:25.760 --> 0:44:28.440 three decent ones which may just end up not doing it. 0:44:28.880 --> 0:44:31.680 And maybe I'm just hoping for more. That's probably where 0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:34.320 I'm coming from, more than like the actual what makes sense. 0:44:34.880 --> 0:44:36.520 But I'm just saying, if I'm a Cubs fan and 0:44:36.600 --> 0:44:39.800 I'm trading Marcus Stroman, i want one of the best 0:44:39.840 --> 0:44:44.400 prospects you can give me, rather than two like decent ones. 0:44:44.600 --> 0:44:46.799 Maybe one ends up being a big leaguer, like I 0:44:46.840 --> 0:44:49.800 want one great piece, but it is a rental because 0:44:49.800 --> 0:44:52.040 he will opt out. It's just a tough situation, is 0:44:52.040 --> 0:44:52.799 what I'm trying to say. 0:44:52.960 --> 0:44:55.960 So tell me, let's play again. I'm gonna run through 0:44:56.120 --> 0:45:01.360 like the high price pieces in the in the raised system. 0:45:01.800 --> 0:45:04.040 Yeah and arm you tell me if Eric Neander hangs 0:45:04.080 --> 0:45:06.400 up the phone, if if Jed Hoyer asks for this 0:45:07.960 --> 0:45:10.040 Manzardo hang up? 0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:14.520 Is he hanging up for Stroman? Straight up? They traded 0:45:14.600 --> 0:45:16.919 Joe Ryan for Nelson Cruz, anything could happen. 0:45:17.080 --> 0:45:18.719 Yeah, but they didn't know that that was coming with 0:45:18.760 --> 0:45:19.200 Joe Ryan. 0:45:19.480 --> 0:45:22.000 It was a yeah. But they're on a forty man 0:45:22.040 --> 0:45:22.839 crunch right now too. 0:45:23.800 --> 0:45:25.200 But that's not a forty man player. 0:45:25.440 --> 0:45:32.680 Sure, yeah, Curtis mead fuck now exactly. Yeah, h Cameron 0:45:32.760 --> 0:45:34.239 Arow hang up immediately? 0:45:35.040 --> 0:45:36.200 Can and Arrow on blocking? 0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:48.440 Yes, trade cars? No, Xavier Isaac dude exactly. So then 0:45:48.480 --> 0:45:52.839 the next options are Mason Montgomery, Slavis, Basave our Cole 0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:56.000 Wilcox like Basabe I think is the best of the bunch, 0:45:56.000 --> 0:45:58.520 and he plugs in immediately. Basabe is a triple a 0:45:58.680 --> 0:46:01.520 guy that can play third, short and second. You've got 0:46:01.640 --> 0:46:04.239 Dansby out right. Now you need a third basement of 0:46:04.239 --> 0:46:06.759 the future because it looks like Morell is not good 0:46:06.880 --> 0:46:09.600 enough at third base to play third base. I think 0:46:09.640 --> 0:46:11.120 bisab is the answer here. 0:46:11.880 --> 0:46:13.680 Yeah, I guess if I'm Jed Hoyer, I'm just like, 0:46:13.960 --> 0:46:18.120 is it enough? I might just trying to extend him then, Yeah, maybe. 0:46:17.920 --> 0:46:19.239 They they had their opportunity. 0:46:19.360 --> 0:46:20.759 They they don't want to pay him. 0:46:20.880 --> 0:46:23.480 Yeah, they came out and said that they are probably 0:46:23.480 --> 0:46:25.200 not going to extend it by the deadline, which makes 0:46:25.280 --> 0:46:28.080 us think he's gonna get traded. This is a weird spot. Fine, 0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:31.880 it will trade the eleventh rank prospect for Marcus Stroman. 0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:34.080 All right, Peter, who's your next one? 0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:37.120 So I'll end with the Otani trade. Let's workshop my 0:46:37.120 --> 0:46:41.360 galaxy brain one. So when I look at the Giants, 0:46:41.640 --> 0:46:44.000 a report came out that Farhan Ziety is going to 0:46:44.000 --> 0:46:46.200 be an aggressive buyer. Now I don't know if I 0:46:46.320 --> 0:46:49.759 fully buy the report, because the Giants are really smart, 0:46:49.800 --> 0:46:51.640 they know what they're doing. But there was a report 0:46:51.640 --> 0:46:53.440 that came out that the Giants are going to be 0:46:53.440 --> 0:46:56.120 aggressive buyers, and I don't see why not. The Dodgers 0:46:56.160 --> 0:46:58.920 aren't exactly the same juggernaut that they once were. We're 0:46:58.920 --> 0:47:01.319 seeing Julio Reis the line right before our eyes. We're 0:47:01.320 --> 0:47:03.919 seeing him get beaten the hell up by the Baltimore Orioles, which, 0:47:04.360 --> 0:47:06.719 in the Orioles credit have a great offense. But this 0:47:06.800 --> 0:47:10.319 has been continuous starts of a guy who finished second 0:47:10.320 --> 0:47:12.719 in Analysai Young voting, who's now rocking an era in 0:47:12.760 --> 0:47:14.640 the mid fours, and it's not looking like it's getting 0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:16.560 any better. It may by the end of the season, 0:47:16.600 --> 0:47:20.760 but right now it's not. They have issues the Diamondbacks. Again, 0:47:20.880 --> 0:47:23.200 we talk about a team that I think is due 0:47:23.320 --> 0:47:26.400 for regression. Are they going to run away with the division? 0:47:26.480 --> 0:47:29.400 Probably not. They're a great team, They're probably end up 0:47:29.440 --> 0:47:32.640 making the playoffs, but you know they're not perfect. So 0:47:32.680 --> 0:47:35.439 the Giants I think see a reasonable window of making 0:47:35.480 --> 0:47:39.200 the playoffs. So I understand being aggressive buyers, but I 0:47:39.239 --> 0:47:42.520 think their main issue right now is the bats. Right 0:47:42.560 --> 0:47:48.360 They're getting production from guys but one through nine in 0:47:48.400 --> 0:47:52.560 their offense, Like when you get down to the six hitters, 0:47:53.239 --> 0:47:56.080 it just gets a little bit boring down there. And 0:47:56.120 --> 0:47:58.400 I know the Cardinals would be willing to part with bats. 0:47:58.440 --> 0:48:00.480 And when I look at a Giant system. I see 0:48:00.480 --> 0:48:04.080 a lot of really really good arms. So my galaxy 0:48:04.160 --> 0:48:07.160 brain was thinking, well, the Cardinals want to get rid 0:48:07.200 --> 0:48:09.200 of a guy, not get rid, but they're willing to 0:48:09.200 --> 0:48:14.480 trade a guy like Tyler O'Neill, and they have Mason 0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:16.560 Wynn coming up the pipeline. I don't know how much 0:48:16.600 --> 0:48:18.400 longer they're gonna stick with Paul de Young. I know 0:48:18.480 --> 0:48:21.880 he's available too, So I was trying to workshop a trade, 0:48:21.960 --> 0:48:25.520 a big time trade with Tyler O'Neill and Paul Deong 0:48:26.000 --> 0:48:31.160 heading to San Francisco because Brandon again, sorry. 0:48:31.920 --> 0:48:33.120 That's like an oxy moron. 0:48:33.920 --> 0:48:36.560 What big time trade with Paul de Youong and Tyler 0:48:36.600 --> 0:48:38.080 O'Neill headed to San Francisco. 0:48:38.160 --> 0:48:40.279 I think that's a big time trade. Paul de Young 0:48:40.360 --> 0:48:42.879 is having a pretty solid season for the Cardinals this year, 0:48:43.239 --> 0:48:46.720 and Tyler O'Neal has it has a lot of upside 0:48:46.719 --> 0:48:47.040 to him. 0:48:47.600 --> 0:48:49.600 I think, does he like do people even still look 0:48:49.600 --> 0:48:51.040 at him like that at this point anymore? 0:48:51.680 --> 0:48:54.040 I watched him get blown up by Kyle Nicholas and 0:48:54.080 --> 0:48:55.160 Triple a couple of days ago. 0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:57.720 All right, so maybe it's not a big time trade. 0:48:57.760 --> 0:49:00.719 I still think it's a pretty sizable deal. No, You're 0:49:00.760 --> 0:49:03.799 getting two big leaguers that play every day exactly so, 0:49:04.520 --> 0:49:07.160 and they could use some outfield help and they could 0:49:07.239 --> 0:49:10.320 use some infield help. So I'm just trying to workshop 0:49:10.320 --> 0:49:13.040 what kind of prospects would be going over in a 0:49:13.200 --> 0:49:16.120 deal like that, because maybe it's not a blockbuster. Maybe 0:49:16.160 --> 0:49:18.080 people are more down on Tyler O'Neill, but maybe he 0:49:18.160 --> 0:49:20.359 just needs a change his scenery. Maybe in his head, 0:49:20.800 --> 0:49:22.879 Olie Marmal got in his head and he's just kind 0:49:22.880 --> 0:49:25.920 of not checked out. But I don't think he's fully 0:49:26.040 --> 0:49:28.239 checked in with the way the Cardinal season is gone 0:49:28.239 --> 0:49:30.280 and then your manager calling you out for not hustling, 0:49:30.480 --> 0:49:32.680 Maybe could just use a change of scenery. And I 0:49:32.719 --> 0:49:34.719 still do see a ton of talent in there, and 0:49:34.760 --> 0:49:37.600 Paul Deung is a serviceable big leaguer. So those two 0:49:37.600 --> 0:49:39.759 guys heading to San Francisco, what would it cost? I 0:49:39.760 --> 0:49:43.319 guess is my problem because I'm not truly sure, But 0:49:43.400 --> 0:49:45.120 I think those two pieces make a lot of sense 0:49:45.120 --> 0:49:46.560 for San Francisco, right. 0:49:46.680 --> 0:49:49.759 I think we initially laughed at the message because you 0:49:49.760 --> 0:49:52.440 had wizen Hunt in that deal, and that would be 0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:56.480 like addressed if I'm if I'm San Francisco, I'm not 0:49:56.600 --> 0:49:58.040 moving wizen Hunt for. 0:49:58.360 --> 0:50:01.959 Anybody phenomenal futures game. I was thinking, like, maybe would 0:50:01.960 --> 0:50:05.200 Carson wizen Hunt, maybe by himself do it for those 0:50:05.200 --> 0:50:07.960 two big leaguers Probably a little bit too much too. 0:50:08.280 --> 0:50:11.520 And the thing is like he looks better than Kyle 0:50:11.560 --> 0:50:15.040 Harrison does this year, just objectively better, like he may 0:50:16.400 --> 0:50:19.440 could he hop Harrison arm? 0:50:19.800 --> 0:50:20.640 It's possible. 0:50:20.800 --> 0:50:23.279 I mean, if Harrison keeps walking seven for nine that 0:50:24.040 --> 0:50:26.440 The crazy thing is this, Kyle Harrison's a year younger 0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:30.439 than him in a so and Kyle Harrison's strikeout numbers 0:50:30.440 --> 0:50:31.400 are still absurdity. 0:50:31.920 --> 0:50:32.680 So I don't know. 0:50:32.880 --> 0:50:34.920 I don't know if I'll ever fully fully pass him, 0:50:34.920 --> 0:50:37.960 but he's definitely the second best arm in the system. 0:50:38.200 --> 0:50:42.799 But pretty margin, we'll surround it around Reggie Crawford. Oh right, 0:50:43.200 --> 0:50:47.040 I don't think they want to Crawford. Yeah, I think 0:50:47.320 --> 0:50:50.359 it would be more underwhelming than you think. I think 0:50:50.400 --> 0:50:54.880 it could be a Mason Black, Vaughan Brown, Haido Pomaris trade. 0:50:57.360 --> 0:51:00.279 Yeah, that'd be a lot, I think, But like, is 0:51:00.280 --> 0:51:01.080 that a needle mover? 0:51:03.239 --> 0:51:07.879 That's what I'm saying, Like, Yeah, these these prospects are good, 0:51:07.880 --> 0:51:11.960 but you're getting too MLB ready obviously MLB ready players, 0:51:12.200 --> 0:51:15.920 you know, does months, in my opinion, have ulsar upside. 0:51:16.760 --> 0:51:19.400 What's hard for me is like how badly did the 0:51:19.440 --> 0:51:23.480 San Francisco Giants want to win in twenty three? Like 0:51:23.600 --> 0:51:25.960 we've talked about how much money they have coming off 0:51:26.000 --> 0:51:29.360 the books, Like they may just look at this like, hey, cool, 0:51:29.480 --> 0:51:32.480 we're winning, We're contending for a wildcard spot. Just wait 0:51:32.520 --> 0:51:36.760 till twenty four when we throw eight hundred million thousand 0:51:36.840 --> 0:51:38.160 dollars at everybody. 0:51:39.840 --> 0:51:43.200 Yeah, but I think if you're a free agent too, 0:51:44.120 --> 0:51:46.360 do you want to go to a team that you 0:51:46.400 --> 0:51:48.319 know is clearing the books and maybe they make a 0:51:48.320 --> 0:51:49.399 bunch of moves next year? 0:51:51.320 --> 0:51:54.240 So I get what you're saying there, but think about 0:51:54.520 --> 0:51:57.440 like Texas got yes is from Corey Seger and Semion 0:51:57.480 --> 0:52:01.719 in that same scenario books clear starting from scratch. You 0:52:01.760 --> 0:52:02.520 want to be a part of this? 0:52:02.800 --> 0:52:03.000 Yes? 0:52:04.719 --> 0:52:08.040 Yeah, I'm just think Ben Ark could go, Ben Arc 0:52:08.040 --> 0:52:13.080 could go. Yeah. Is Reggie Crawford so untouchable that just 0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:15.520 like a package just with him for those two guys 0:52:15.600 --> 0:52:16.799 is just way overdoing it? 0:52:16.880 --> 0:52:19.640 Like easy? 0:52:19.760 --> 0:52:21.680 They just drafted him in the first round off TJ 0:52:21.840 --> 0:52:24.280 and he's you just got promoted to hya he's hitting 0:52:24.280 --> 0:52:27.000 and pitching. I think that you know, they just invested 0:52:27.040 --> 0:52:29.000 a lot of money into him, probably want to see 0:52:29.000 --> 0:52:32.400 what he can do. But I think Paul De Young's 0:52:32.400 --> 0:52:35.000 gonna get his option to clin next year, so you're 0:52:35.000 --> 0:52:36.440 gonna get him for a couple of months in decline 0:52:36.480 --> 0:52:39.239 the option, and then Tyler O'Neill you would have for 0:52:39.280 --> 0:52:41.520 the rest of this year, assuming he's healthy, and then 0:52:41.640 --> 0:52:45.120 next year. But they also are attached to Mitch Tanneger, 0:52:45.400 --> 0:52:49.120 another often injured outfielder, for the next several years as well. 0:52:49.600 --> 0:52:51.640 And they have a mutual on Conforta. Do we know 0:52:52.320 --> 0:52:53.879 it's not a player. It's a mutual, right. 0:52:54.480 --> 0:52:59.160 I think it's a mutual, So it's it's a little crowded, 0:52:59.719 --> 0:53:01.160 but I I do think if they did, like ben 0:53:01.239 --> 0:53:05.479 Nar and somebody else, I think that the Cardinals would 0:53:05.480 --> 0:53:08.320 take that and run for Paul De Young and Tyler O'Neill. 0:53:08.360 --> 0:53:12.279 At this point, it's a player at eighteen for Conflorido, 0:53:12.400 --> 0:53:13.879 and I think he might opt into one year. 0:53:15.040 --> 0:53:16.799 Yeah, he definitely will opt into that. 0:53:16.920 --> 0:53:20.360 He did me. That sounds great. Eight dollars. 0:53:20.400 --> 0:53:23.640 That sounds great for a guy like Michael Colflorido. Yeah, no, 0:53:25.440 --> 0:53:28.040 just trying to think because they do need bats, Cardinals 0:53:28.040 --> 0:53:30.799 are willing to deal bats. Farronse Adi said he would 0:53:30.800 --> 0:53:35.359 be aggressive and maybe, like, you guys are much deeper 0:53:35.360 --> 0:53:37.560 into the prospect stuff, so I refer to your guys' 0:53:37.680 --> 0:53:41.120 opinion on each individual guy whether he makes sense. I'm 0:53:41.160 --> 0:53:44.960 just looking at tiers of prospects and who potentially could 0:53:45.000 --> 0:53:47.320 make sense for a guy with all star level upside 0:53:47.680 --> 0:53:49.720 and a Paul de Young who's definitely better than Brandon 0:53:49.760 --> 0:53:54.399 Crawford is right now. And like, if farronse AIDI didn't 0:53:54.400 --> 0:53:56.040 come out and say that he would be aggresive buyers, 0:53:56.040 --> 0:53:58.040 I wouldn't be looking to aggressively buy for the San 0:53:58.040 --> 0:54:02.200 Francisco Giants. But now I'm looking too aggressively by and 0:54:02.239 --> 0:54:07.719 those two guys immediately impact the lineup. It's just with 0:54:07.760 --> 0:54:09.720 you guys, it's tough. Every prospect's amazing. 0:54:10.360 --> 0:54:13.480 Well, I mean you're not, Yeah, you're not trading a 0:54:13.520 --> 0:54:16.520 twenty twenty two first round pick for Paul de Young 0:54:16.640 --> 0:54:17.800 and Tyler O'Neal. 0:54:18.120 --> 0:54:20.600 Like, we're actually like Tyler o'neils chop liver over here, 0:54:20.880 --> 0:54:23.319 he kind of is. I don't think he's chopped liver 0:54:23.360 --> 0:54:24.640 I think, I think, I think. 0:54:24.480 --> 0:54:26.280 His value is lower than Dylan Carlson. 0:54:26.800 --> 0:54:30.920 But yeah, yeah, I mean Dylan Carlson, you know, much younger, 0:54:31.080 --> 0:54:33.200 more years of control, and. 0:54:33.080 --> 0:54:36.120 Way less volatile too. Like Tyler O'Neal could strike out 0:54:36.120 --> 0:54:37.399 thirty five percent of the time. 0:54:37.480 --> 0:54:39.880 Man, Yeah, but Tyler O'Neil is also the guy that 0:54:39.880 --> 0:54:43.120 could completely switch it around and be the four star 0:54:43.239 --> 0:54:47.480 caliber outfielder. It's kind of like it's a big upside 0:54:47.480 --> 0:54:50.280 pick for the Giants. It's not quite swinging for the fences, 0:54:50.280 --> 0:54:52.239 but it could end up being that piece that puts 0:54:52.280 --> 0:54:53.759 you over the edge. Right. 0:54:54.760 --> 0:54:56.600 I just think the ship is kind of sailed, Like 0:54:56.600 --> 0:54:58.399 we had one good year from him and that's it. 0:54:58.640 --> 0:55:02.280 He was bad and twenty nineteen stint, he was bad 0:55:02.320 --> 0:55:05.120 in twenty twenty, he was good and really good in 0:55:05.120 --> 0:55:07.239 twenty twenty one while striking out thirty one percent of 0:55:07.280 --> 0:55:08.400 the time, then. 0:55:08.480 --> 0:55:11.359 Bad last year and bad and hurt this year. 0:55:11.400 --> 0:55:13.600 So I got I don't I don't know if anybody 0:55:13.640 --> 0:55:15.880 really wants Tyler O'Neil at this point. 0:55:16.080 --> 0:55:17.480 Yeah, but have you seen his body? 0:55:17.880 --> 0:55:18.120 Yeah? 0:55:18.160 --> 0:55:21.239 Have you he's so hot. I I have. 0:55:23.000 --> 0:55:25.839 Seventy WRC plus and eight triple a games as well. 0:55:26.360 --> 0:55:29.080 Yeah, he was striking out a billion times. And Indy 0:55:29.239 --> 0:55:31.959 last week it was it was fascinating before we hoped 0:55:31.960 --> 0:55:35.000 to arms next trade. Jared Kelnick broke his foot after 0:55:35.080 --> 0:55:37.800 kicking a water cooler last night. According to Ryan. 0:55:37.680 --> 0:55:44.560 Divish, Dude, are you serious? 0:55:45.880 --> 0:55:49.480 That's really yeah, that's really bad. I mean, do we 0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:51.400 just sell Mariners stock at this point? I mean what 0:55:51.440 --> 0:55:54.040 are we doing? I mean they're not even pitching well, 0:55:54.760 --> 0:55:58.600 like the bullpen is imploding, They're not hitting at this point. 0:55:58.680 --> 0:56:00.879 It's like we keep HIPing them up. We keep hyping 0:56:01.000 --> 0:56:03.200 them up. And it's honestly, when I say we it's 0:56:03.239 --> 0:56:04.160 mostly led by me. 0:56:07.800 --> 0:56:08.279 We're all in. 0:56:08.480 --> 0:56:10.920 And when Kirby goes seven innings a one run ball 0:56:10.960 --> 0:56:13.239 tonight against Minnesota, I'm all the way back in. 0:56:13.480 --> 0:56:15.560 Yeah. But then Pablo goes seven innings to shut out 0:56:15.560 --> 0:56:16.680 because Americas can't hit. 0:56:16.600 --> 0:56:19.720 The Twins, and coltland Wong goes oh for four with five. 0:56:20.000 --> 0:56:22.480 It's like Georgia Courber is probably gonna pitch great, like 0:56:22.640 --> 0:56:25.960 Luis Castillo pitched pretty well. They still lost six to 0:56:26.000 --> 0:56:28.200 three because Munjos came in and blew it and Tom 0:56:28.280 --> 0:56:30.480 Murphy dropped the ball. For a pass ball and the 0:56:30.560 --> 0:56:33.040 Twins ended up winning, thankfully for me. I was on 0:56:33.080 --> 0:56:35.839 Twins Mondy because I'm watching the Maritors. I'm like, even 0:56:35.840 --> 0:56:39.440 with your best arms, like what your minas won sixty favorites, 0:56:40.280 --> 0:56:43.600 They're just not as good as I want them to be. 0:56:44.080 --> 0:56:46.719 And there I said it. They're not as good as 0:56:46.760 --> 0:56:49.680 I want them to be. Mariners fans. And your fricking 0:56:49.800 --> 0:56:53.319 lefty who looked like Babe Ruth through April and May 0:56:53.760 --> 0:56:55.400 has now started striking out all the time. And they 0:56:55.480 --> 0:56:57.320 just kicked a water cooler and he broke his foot. 0:56:57.640 --> 0:57:03.960 Julie Rodriguez, I'm waiting, Typhrien, waiting, waiting, waiting the league leaders. 0:57:03.960 --> 0:57:10.840 That strikeouts is like it's bad hip up there hitting. 0:57:11.840 --> 0:57:15.799 What's going on? Cal raw He does kind of look at. 0:57:17.960 --> 0:57:18.920 He does kind of look. 0:57:18.760 --> 0:57:22.160 Like me up there, honestly, man, all right, what's your 0:57:22.240 --> 0:57:22.720 next one? 0:57:23.040 --> 0:57:23.560 All right? 0:57:24.200 --> 0:57:24.400 Yeah? 0:57:24.920 --> 0:57:27.800 The banners are really running my day. 0:57:28.360 --> 0:57:29.520 It's really I'm with you on that. 0:57:29.560 --> 0:57:31.360 Peter I took off my Mariners, had to put on 0:57:31.400 --> 0:57:33.400 my just baseball hat. 0:57:34.920 --> 0:57:39.160 I'm gonna send Aaron Savali to the Arizona Diamondbacks because 0:57:39.200 --> 0:57:41.600 they just need they just need some some depth. 0:57:41.800 --> 0:57:43.760 They just need an arm h. 0:57:44.000 --> 0:57:47.160 And I think they need some control. So I'm sending 0:57:47.160 --> 0:57:50.600 Aaron Savali to the d Backs going the other way. 0:57:51.480 --> 0:57:53.880 There's a few different ways we can workshop this one, 0:57:53.960 --> 0:57:57.040 but I think A J. Vukovich is a perfect trade chip. 0:57:58.400 --> 0:57:59.960 Too much, that's that's too much. 0:58:01.200 --> 0:58:06.240 Well, you got multiple years of control, multiple years of 0:58:06.320 --> 0:58:10.400 control of Savali. He's pitching really well this year. I 0:58:10.440 --> 0:58:12.440 look at what the d Backs could part with. I 0:58:12.480 --> 0:58:14.880 think Vukovich is a guy that's performing at a high level. 0:58:14.880 --> 0:58:18.600 You could move maybe, you mean when if. 0:58:18.440 --> 0:58:20.160 It requires it, But he's kind of pitching out of 0:58:20.200 --> 0:58:22.919 his mind right now. I'd move him in this deal. 0:58:22.960 --> 0:58:26.040 I would, But even if that's too much, you could 0:58:26.080 --> 0:58:31.000 do like a Justin Martinez Slay Chaconi and then aj Vukovic, 0:58:31.320 --> 0:58:34.520 like any kind of combination of that. I think Chacconi's 0:58:34.520 --> 0:58:36.600 a guy that'll really benefit from getting out of the PCO, 0:58:36.840 --> 0:58:38.840 and I think the Guardians could help unlock something with him. 0:58:38.840 --> 0:58:41.160 He's kind of a Dada darling pitcher still just turned 0:58:41.200 --> 0:58:48.840 twenty four. I think Chaconi and Vukovich for Savali could 0:58:48.880 --> 0:58:49.640 get it done. 0:58:50.080 --> 0:58:52.560 You see, like this podcast isn't doing enough numbers right now? 0:58:52.560 --> 0:58:56.880 How about Corbyn, Carroll In, Gavin Williams, bow Naylor and 0:58:56.960 --> 0:58:59.240 Jose Ramirez. Let's just fuck some shit up. 0:58:59.440 --> 0:59:02.920 That's what I was thinking. I think I think that's 0:59:02.960 --> 0:59:06.520 not sexy enough. So let's put a kuna on the Yankees. 0:59:07.320 --> 0:59:12.880 Yes for and harr perfect. No. I think that's a 0:59:12.880 --> 0:59:15.320 good deal. I think it gets it done. I do 0:59:15.360 --> 0:59:17.840 you think you have to add Savally is a guy 0:59:17.920 --> 0:59:20.960 that honestly looked like a DFA candidate not long ago. 0:59:22.680 --> 0:59:24.680 Yeah, I don't know Savale's value, to be honest. 0:59:24.840 --> 0:59:26.760 Yeah, Like, do you think you need to add more 0:59:26.840 --> 0:59:28.520 than Vukevich? I don't think you do. 0:59:29.960 --> 0:59:32.040 I don't know, Peter, where do you value Aaron Savally? 0:59:32.240 --> 0:59:35.000 I know you're you're you're You're Guardians correspondent. 0:59:36.320 --> 0:59:38.600 I've watched way too many of their fucking games this year. 0:59:38.920 --> 0:59:42.040 I'm saying, Yeah, how much would you what would you 0:59:42.040 --> 0:59:43.680 give up for an on your team if you need 0:59:43.680 --> 0:59:45.040 a pitching It's so funny. 0:59:45.240 --> 0:59:46.640 There's a part of me that would rather have Ern 0:59:46.680 --> 0:59:49.760 Savali than Lucas Gilido. I mean, I think Aaron Savally 0:59:50.080 --> 0:59:52.960 is is just very safe. I think he gets you 0:59:53.000 --> 0:59:53.520 through in it. 0:59:54.320 --> 0:59:55.400 I think he just keeps. 0:59:55.320 --> 0:59:58.120 All on the ground and he allows himself contact and 0:59:58.160 --> 1:00:00.560 he's just He's just I can put my head on 1:00:00.600 --> 1:00:02.680 the pillow and know that Aeron Savali is pitching, and 1:00:02.720 --> 1:00:04.080 I'm like, I got a chance to win. I know, 1:00:04.120 --> 1:00:06.400 I said that on the last podcast. Look as Giltto, 1:00:06.440 --> 1:00:09.400 there's always the chance of just getting fucked. On Savali, 1:00:09.600 --> 1:00:12.200 there's way less of that chance. So I think he's 1:00:12.200 --> 1:00:15.760 actually gonna garner a bigger return than we think because 1:00:15.800 --> 1:00:17.840 I think he's just a solid ass pitcher and kind 1:00:17.840 --> 1:00:20.480 of has been solid except for these like stretches where 1:00:20.520 --> 1:00:23.520 he looked obviously hurt, like this stuff was down. He 1:00:23.640 --> 1:00:26.120 didn't look like himself, But he is looking like himself 1:00:26.200 --> 1:00:28.480 right now. Yeah, I think Eron Savally, I like that 1:00:28.560 --> 1:00:29.960 you mentioned Hi Marton because I think he might be 1:00:29.960 --> 1:00:32.680 the most underrated arm at this deadline that's gonna get 1:00:32.680 --> 1:00:34.360 a bigger return than people might think. 1:00:34.920 --> 1:00:37.320 Well, because to your point, he's one of the only 1:00:37.480 --> 1:00:40.040 guys with control too that are probably gonna get moved. 1:00:40.080 --> 1:00:41.640 So you know, I was looking at the Reds and 1:00:41.680 --> 1:00:43.600 I'm like, the Reds aren't gonna give up what they 1:00:43.640 --> 1:00:46.440 you know, what's necessary to get somebody like Savali, I 1:00:46.440 --> 1:00:49.280 think they want to rental one. Honestly, I know you 1:00:49.280 --> 1:00:52.480 look surprised with that point by Peter Jack, but like 1:00:52.880 --> 1:00:56.480 I actually agree Giulito. I don't feel good about every 1:00:56.520 --> 1:00:58.400 fifth day. I mean, and I know he has better 1:00:58.520 --> 1:01:02.760 better peaks, like the peaks are definitely better, but I 1:01:02.800 --> 1:01:05.360 don't really need peaks as much. If I'm the d Backs, 1:01:05.560 --> 1:01:07.080 I need someone to help me kind of get to 1:01:07.080 --> 1:01:09.520 the promised land and then you know, in the playoffs, 1:01:09.600 --> 1:01:10.880 just seven arm that I know if he has to 1:01:10.920 --> 1:01:18.120 come in, and if he isn't going to totally cook 1:01:18.200 --> 1:01:20.160 me when it comes to, you know, putting him in, 1:01:20.200 --> 1:01:21.840 Like I know he's not gonna just cook me. I 1:01:21.880 --> 1:01:24.080 can lean on somebody like Zach Gollan, I can lean 1:01:24.120 --> 1:01:26.360 on a healthy maryle Kelly and go from there. I 1:01:26.440 --> 1:01:28.680 think it's Vukovic and then with the control, I think 1:01:28.680 --> 1:01:30.600 Slay CHACONI I'm gonna stick with that one. I think 1:01:30.600 --> 1:01:33.120 that's a pretty pretty darn good return for the d 1:01:33.240 --> 1:01:35.960 Backs or excuse me, for the Guardians, because they get 1:01:35.960 --> 1:01:38.280 a guy that can play all over, has been really 1:01:38.280 --> 1:01:41.320 producing offensively, really good athlete. He was a big time 1:01:41.360 --> 1:01:44.640 football and basketball player in Vukovic and then DRACONI. I'm 1:01:44.680 --> 1:01:46.680 telling you they'll turn him into a four or five 1:01:46.800 --> 1:01:49.400 type pretty easily. And he's close to big league retty, 1:01:49.480 --> 1:01:51.480 so just another arm for them in the fold. 1:01:52.240 --> 1:01:54.880 Yeah okay, yes, and you guys sold me. I think 1:01:54.920 --> 1:01:58.080 that I was victim of sex appeal when it came 1:01:58.120 --> 1:02:00.480 to di Alito's name, because gi Alito was like good 1:02:00.480 --> 1:02:02.880 at one point, and Savali has never been really good 1:02:02.920 --> 1:02:05.200 at one point. He's just been like yeah. 1:02:05.480 --> 1:02:10.160 Fally no, yeah, those boring guys, but like sometimes boring pays. 1:02:10.520 --> 1:02:12.080 Oh yeah, like give me five. 1:02:11.960 --> 1:02:14.560 Especially on the hills, especially on the mound. 1:02:15.200 --> 1:02:20.400 Just so safe and just pretty good. Like Jilido. I 1:02:20.400 --> 1:02:22.720 don't think his peaks are enough to like vault the 1:02:22.760 --> 1:02:26.440 Diamondbacks to another level, but his valleys could end up 1:02:26.520 --> 1:02:29.960 really hurting you so bad valleys. 1:02:30.720 --> 1:02:33.320 Best peak in baseball so far this year probably Lance 1:02:33.400 --> 1:02:37.720 ln and a tech performance. Right. The peaks are peaks 1:02:37.720 --> 1:02:39.520 are hot as fuck for Lance Linn. 1:02:40.200 --> 1:02:43.160 Okay, at one game or the Meridor starters and bullpen 1:02:43.200 --> 1:02:44.760 all pitch well and they hit that one time. 1:02:45.120 --> 1:02:50.360 Yes, yeah, crazy, I bought it. Okay, uh my last one. 1:02:50.400 --> 1:02:53.400 We each have one more Tim Anderson's on the move. 1:02:53.600 --> 1:02:56.280 Tim Anderson has to be on the move. Tim Anderson 1:02:56.400 --> 1:02:58.880 is a shell of the value of what he held 1:02:58.960 --> 1:03:02.560 coming into this year. I think this is the chance 1:03:03.000 --> 1:03:05.280 for one of the best teams in baseball to go 1:03:05.360 --> 1:03:09.080 at a shortstop. And I think the Dodgers are still 1:03:09.120 --> 1:03:12.840 perfect for Tim Anderson. I don't think they need to 1:03:12.880 --> 1:03:14.880 pay much at all. And I think the White Sox 1:03:14.920 --> 1:03:17.280 fans are gonna be pissed. And I think that Rick 1:03:17.360 --> 1:03:20.040 han is initially going to ask for a lot because 1:03:20.040 --> 1:03:22.480 of the name recognition of Tim Anderson and the team 1:03:22.560 --> 1:03:25.880 USA second baseman Tim Anderson. But that's not the Tim 1:03:25.920 --> 1:03:28.439 Anderson you're getting right now. And if there's any team 1:03:28.480 --> 1:03:30.600 that can take Tim Anderson and turn him back into 1:03:30.600 --> 1:03:32.920 that batting title guy, I think we know who it is. 1:03:32.960 --> 1:03:35.000 It's the team that turned Jason Hayward back into an 1:03:35.040 --> 1:03:41.120 eight hundred ops guy. So ta to the Dodgers. Four 1:03:42.720 --> 1:03:43.680 frosso straight up. 1:03:44.960 --> 1:03:46.800 Yeah, this is one of those moves where I'm okay 1:03:46.840 --> 1:03:51.360 giving trash and Frosto's not trash. Tim Anderson has been 1:03:51.520 --> 1:03:54.560 horrible and not just oh, you know, he's having a 1:03:54.600 --> 1:03:58.520 down year. He's been arguably baseball's worst player, like you 1:03:58.600 --> 1:04:00.080 do not have to give up much for him, and 1:04:00.080 --> 1:04:02.160 White Sox fans like, oh, now we're going to sell 1:04:02.200 --> 1:04:05.800 him right like not after he hit three thirty, Now 1:04:05.800 --> 1:04:08.680 we're going to sell. But he's hitting two forty. Oh, 1:04:08.720 --> 1:04:11.840 White Sox fans, I'm sorry. And also just before we 1:04:11.920 --> 1:04:14.320 keep moving on and you know how we were slurping 1:04:14.600 --> 1:04:18.520 Spencer Schreider six innings, four earned. Dimbacks are now winning 1:04:18.560 --> 1:04:21.160 five to three. Gallot out dealinggum. 1:04:20.680 --> 1:04:21.480 Was it a home run? 1:04:22.440 --> 1:04:22.560 Uh? 1:04:23.000 --> 1:04:23.400 Home run? 1:04:23.440 --> 1:04:27.680 See exactly what happened? So the d Backs home run 1:04:27.720 --> 1:04:34.560 by Emmanuel Rivera three run bomb off Strider or oh no, 1:04:34.640 --> 1:04:36.320 it might have been his just third of the year. 1:04:36.440 --> 1:04:40.920 We're not watching. Don't sue me. We got Emmanuel Rivera, Corbyn, 1:04:41.000 --> 1:04:45.600 Carrol Off, Kirbyates whatever he blew. 1:04:45.400 --> 1:04:51.720 Its scoring plays right now. Dominic Canzone first big league 1:04:51.760 --> 1:04:53.680 homer in the seven. It took it to the seventh. 1:04:54.600 --> 1:04:58.240 Bottom six. Gallon allowed a solo shots to Orlando Arcia. 1:04:58.600 --> 1:05:02.520 Can Zone first big league home off. Uh yeah, off Strider. 1:05:03.240 --> 1:05:07.000 That was a three run shot, and then solo homer 1:05:07.040 --> 1:05:08.880 for Emmanuel Rivera a hit her later. 1:05:09.400 --> 1:05:12.720 Wow, yeah, until he gets killed man it's that's the 1:05:12.760 --> 1:05:16.040 only way you gotta catch one. By the way, Elie 1:05:16.080 --> 1:05:18.240 de la Cruz just threw a ball ninety nine point 1:05:18.280 --> 1:05:18.959 eight miles per. 1:05:18.880 --> 1:05:23.120 Hour relay on a relay awesome. 1:05:23.360 --> 1:05:25.920 I hate the way Twitter sometimes acts about Ellie de 1:05:26.000 --> 1:05:28.480 la Cruz, not when he does good things. I think 1:05:28.520 --> 1:05:31.360 everybody you know rallies around those good things, except for 1:05:31.360 --> 1:05:34.080 some people, like he'll do something and we'll tweet out, 1:05:34.120 --> 1:05:36.280 like Ellie day la Cruz, look at this throw, how 1:05:36.320 --> 1:05:38.600 amazing is Just watch this clip and people like yabab 1:05:38.640 --> 1:05:42.880 be struck out your bat before yeah got off, dude, Like, 1:05:43.160 --> 1:05:46.880 just shut up, just watch the cool highlight you yeahad 1:05:47.480 --> 1:05:48.520 I hate that. 1:05:48.920 --> 1:05:51.960 I agree, No, that that's that's Bad's absolute facts. 1:05:52.360 --> 1:05:54.200 You think Anderson for frostso is fair? 1:05:54.920 --> 1:05:56.120 I almost think it's an overlay. 1:05:56.960 --> 1:06:01.880 I'm gonna I'm gonna, honestly, for Tim Anderson, I'm gonna 1:06:01.880 --> 1:06:04.080 give you the same treatment that I just gave Peter. 1:06:04.360 --> 1:06:08.400 I honestly think that's an overpay because, like, honestly, Frosso 1:06:08.440 --> 1:06:10.800 is seen by some as like a top one hundred guy, and. 1:06:11.560 --> 1:06:14.960 Who is taking on ta who want a team that 1:06:15.000 --> 1:06:17.040 doesn't need him? Frankly, who else is. 1:06:17.160 --> 1:06:19.200 So if I offer, if I offer Land and Knack, 1:06:20.000 --> 1:06:22.920 who's beating it. Who's coming in and beating my offer? 1:06:23.240 --> 1:06:24.280 Probably the fucking Mets. 1:06:25.120 --> 1:06:28.280 I just spit, almost spit out by water, because we're 1:06:28.280 --> 1:06:30.640 talking about in twenty twenty three that a guy who 1:06:30.760 --> 1:06:33.160 almost is a top one hundred is an overpay for 1:06:33.240 --> 1:06:36.920 Tim Anderson, like just the free fall. I know that, 1:06:37.240 --> 1:06:39.240 I know so sad. 1:06:39.240 --> 1:06:42.560 And also the other point, and I'm really glad what 1:06:42.560 --> 1:06:45.360 that we've had these conversations because like I've been just 1:06:45.360 --> 1:06:48.439 digging into this for months now. I think it's really 1:06:48.440 --> 1:06:50.360 good that we've just had these thought exercises because I 1:06:50.360 --> 1:06:53.160 don't think people realize most of these assets aren't that 1:06:53.240 --> 1:06:55.440 good at the trade deadline, Like it's good players that 1:06:55.480 --> 1:06:58.480 can help you, but from a pure trade value perspective, 1:06:58.960 --> 1:07:02.040 most of these guys aren't worth much and they're either underperforming, 1:07:02.280 --> 1:07:04.880 they're hurt, or they don't have control or all of it. 1:07:05.160 --> 1:07:07.480 And so you're in a spot here where, like I 1:07:08.120 --> 1:07:10.360 know we're wired to like trade top prospects, but I 1:07:10.360 --> 1:07:12.320 actually think this is gonna be one of the deadlines 1:07:12.320 --> 1:07:14.640 where notable players will get moved, but the returns are 1:07:14.640 --> 1:07:16.320 gonna be asked, and everyone's gonna be like what the hell? 1:07:16.600 --> 1:07:18.520 And you know what, the more I think about this, 1:07:19.120 --> 1:07:22.760 the more I think these notable players, gams are gonna 1:07:22.760 --> 1:07:24.920 get on the phone and the gms are gonna be 1:07:24.960 --> 1:07:26.800 like arm and be like we're not gonna give you 1:07:26.840 --> 1:07:30.240 what you want, and nothing's gonna fucking happen. Like everyone 1:07:30.280 --> 1:07:33.720 gets so excited every trade deadline, like Otani's gonna get traded. 1:07:33.760 --> 1:07:36.160 I'm probably gonna pitch and Otani trade and next thing 1:07:36.160 --> 1:07:38.000 we know, he's just not traded because already, Marna, I'm 1:07:38.040 --> 1:07:39.480 gonna talk about it in a little bit. But a 1:07:39.480 --> 1:07:41.800 lot of these guys just don't get moved, Like Aaron 1:07:41.880 --> 1:07:44.880 Savali gets moved and that that's the deadline, and Jason 1:07:44.920 --> 1:07:47.280 Foley like a lot of teams unload bullpen arms and 1:07:47.360 --> 1:07:50.440 like that's it, Like that's sometimes what happens at these 1:07:50.440 --> 1:07:53.120 deadlines is that a lot of top players are put 1:07:53.240 --> 1:07:57.360 in articles for clicks. One of them gets traded, a 1:07:57.440 --> 1:08:00.800 couple of three four starters gets traded, and a couple 1:08:00.800 --> 1:08:04.840 of big bullpen pieces get traded for actual good prospects, 1:08:04.880 --> 1:08:06.480 and then we react to them and we're like, why 1:08:06.680 --> 1:08:09.479 they trade that prospect, that prospects ends up being good, 1:08:09.640 --> 1:08:11.880 and then that's the trade deadline. So it's fun to 1:08:11.920 --> 1:08:15.280 talk about and you know, throw rumors out there, but 1:08:15.640 --> 1:08:18.720 really what we're left with that most trade deadlines is 1:08:18.760 --> 1:08:22.960 a fuck ton of nothing. That's normally what happens. Yeah, 1:08:23.880 --> 1:08:25.920 we talk about trade. 1:08:26.479 --> 1:08:28.560 Yeah, but now let's let's segue to the trade of 1:08:28.600 --> 1:08:29.679 the best player of all time. 1:08:30.000 --> 1:08:33.799 If you want to save the Otani one for last yeah, okay, 1:08:33.840 --> 1:08:34.560 so arm you go. 1:08:35.800 --> 1:08:38.519 So this is this is a rental move too, but 1:08:38.560 --> 1:08:40.360 this will probably be one of the most expensive rental 1:08:40.400 --> 1:08:42.439 moves out there, and I think there's a team that 1:08:42.479 --> 1:08:45.479 can justify it very easily. I know the Padres are 1:08:45.479 --> 1:08:49.600 were plying better right now, and I just I'm I 1:08:49.680 --> 1:08:51.479 want to see them kind of fall apart so that 1:08:52.360 --> 1:08:54.360 this trade can go down, because this trade would amp 1:08:54.360 --> 1:08:54.720 me up. 1:08:55.479 --> 1:08:59.400 Blake's now to the Orioles. I just I would love 1:08:59.439 --> 1:09:00.519 that more than anything. 1:09:00.800 --> 1:09:03.640 And I think with where the Orioles are at in 1:09:03.720 --> 1:09:06.559 terms of how they're performing this season, on top of 1:09:06.600 --> 1:09:09.160 the fact that their system is so damn good, I 1:09:09.200 --> 1:09:11.479 think they can pay for the steepest rental. Like if 1:09:11.520 --> 1:09:13.479 you're the Reds you're not paying for the steepest rental. 1:09:13.479 --> 1:09:15.160 If you're you know, some of these other teams that 1:09:15.200 --> 1:09:18.320 are playing well, even the Giants, like, you're not paying 1:09:18.320 --> 1:09:21.240 for the steepest rental. I really think it makes sense 1:09:21.240 --> 1:09:23.320 for the O's and they can even consider extending him. 1:09:23.320 --> 1:09:24.760 He's going to be a free agent again. It's another 1:09:24.800 --> 1:09:28.280 trial period for the Orioles. I would love to see 1:09:28.280 --> 1:09:31.120 the O's go get Snell and give up. 1:09:31.240 --> 1:09:31.559 Yeah. 1:09:31.720 --> 1:09:33.439 I'm trying to think of what a couple months of 1:09:33.600 --> 1:09:35.160 one of the guy that's pitching like one of the 1:09:35.160 --> 1:09:37.680 best pitchers in baseball may look like it's ultimately just 1:09:37.680 --> 1:09:39.880 going to be a bidding war. But if I offer 1:09:40.439 --> 1:09:44.920 Connor Norby and you know, a solid mid level prospect, 1:09:45.040 --> 1:09:47.200 is anyone going to top that for a couple months 1:09:47.240 --> 1:09:48.360 of blake'snew. 1:09:48.360 --> 1:09:54.040 Would you do Norby and McDermott. Yeah, yeah, I don't 1:09:54.080 --> 1:09:54.920 know who's topping that. 1:09:56.760 --> 1:09:58.120 I don't think anyone really could. 1:09:58.280 --> 1:10:02.080 And the Orioles wouldn't even feel it, not, not not even remotely. 1:10:03.080 --> 1:10:06.080 They might that they made the trait, it's like, oh, 1:10:06.160 --> 1:10:07.200 it still won't do it. 1:10:07.280 --> 1:10:10.120 They still won't do it. Knowing the Orioles even though 1:10:10.120 --> 1:10:11.439 that makes total sense that they should. 1:10:11.640 --> 1:10:14.080 They'll say, now it's two months, we don't We're building 1:10:14.080 --> 1:10:14.760 for the future here. 1:10:15.000 --> 1:10:21.559 Yeah, like McDermott and Norby is a great return for 1:10:21.600 --> 1:10:24.360 a rental, like unbelievable return. So I'm about a guy 1:10:24.360 --> 1:10:26.360 that in Norby that could play second base for them 1:10:26.680 --> 1:10:30.559 tomorrow if they needed it. And you know, you're you're 1:10:30.600 --> 1:10:33.960 seeing somebody like, uh, why am I John a blank? 1:10:33.960 --> 1:10:34.120 Now? 1:10:34.120 --> 1:10:34.240 Oh? 1:10:34.320 --> 1:10:37.160 Jake crodin Worth struggling like pretty badly. I think they 1:10:37.160 --> 1:10:39.120 could just use another solid infield back. We'll see if 1:10:39.120 --> 1:10:42.040 they're going to retain uh, we'll see if they retain 1:10:42.080 --> 1:10:44.680 Hassum Kim after this year. But again, I think it's 1:10:44.680 --> 1:10:47.479 just good to get a good bat and just a 1:10:47.560 --> 1:10:49.519 solid prospect. But even if it's not Norby, like, you 1:10:49.520 --> 1:10:52.880 could interchange a lot of different other you know, prospects 1:10:52.920 --> 1:10:56.040 that are kind of in that range, and Judd Fabian 1:10:56.120 --> 1:11:01.479 may be of interest. There's I think they could especially 1:11:01.520 --> 1:11:06.920 after drafting drafting somebody in that plays the outfield as well. 1:11:07.280 --> 1:11:08.840 You know, I think that that kind of makes it 1:11:08.960 --> 1:11:11.160 feel a little bit better. They went out and you know, 1:11:11.479 --> 1:11:13.920 they've they've drafted several of hitters still in Beavers, and 1:11:13.960 --> 1:11:16.439 then I don't know, I just feel like I feel 1:11:16.439 --> 1:11:18.839 like they're kind of fine in the outfield, So especially 1:11:18.840 --> 1:11:21.400 after drafting Bradfield, they might just be fine. And and 1:11:21.439 --> 1:11:23.920 they're loaded out there right now. Could be a good 1:11:23.920 --> 1:11:26.120 time to catch it on Fabian and you know, but 1:11:26.560 --> 1:11:28.200 it might be a lot for rental. 1:11:30.040 --> 1:11:30.559 Tony time. 1:11:31.200 --> 1:11:31.479 Yep. 1:11:31.840 --> 1:11:32.160 Sure. 1:11:33.040 --> 1:11:36.799 So I have two teams that we've talked about before 1:11:37.640 --> 1:11:40.600 that I want to workshop what they could do. But 1:11:40.680 --> 1:11:42.800 I want to kind of talk about what I've been 1:11:42.880 --> 1:11:46.280 hearing about the Otawni trade in general. So Artie Moreno, 1:11:46.479 --> 1:11:49.400 the owner of the Los Angeles Angels, says that he 1:11:49.640 --> 1:11:53.200 does not want to trade Otanni to the Dodgers. He 1:11:53.200 --> 1:11:55.720 has come out and he's basically said, we are not 1:11:55.880 --> 1:11:59.360 trading him to our neighbor. We're just not going to 1:11:59.439 --> 1:12:03.000 do it right. And I even if it like impacts 1:12:03.000 --> 1:12:05.120 the team more, even if they could give the best offer, 1:12:05.520 --> 1:12:07.280 they just don't want to train him to the Dodters. 1:12:07.520 --> 1:12:09.280 So I kind of took the Dodgers out of the equation. 1:12:10.000 --> 1:12:13.240 Another team that we talked about, the Rangers. I cannot 1:12:13.400 --> 1:12:16.880 see them trading sho Hao Tani within the division. I 1:12:17.000 --> 1:12:20.799 just cannot see it right. The Yankees have been floated. 1:12:21.040 --> 1:12:25.800 The Yankees suck. They're not fucking trading for Otani. They 1:12:25.960 --> 1:12:30.479 just aren't. If they do, I would love that would 1:12:30.520 --> 1:12:33.120 be the most love of being wrong of all time. 1:12:33.439 --> 1:12:35.160 You guys should fucking boom him after a week. 1:12:35.240 --> 1:12:37.840 I know, after a week he give them two ruds 1:12:37.840 --> 1:12:39.840 and six innings that we boom off the field, he'd 1:12:39.840 --> 1:12:42.040 probably want to leave it their reside anyway. So he's 1:12:42.040 --> 1:12:43.800 not getting traded to the Yankees. So who are the 1:12:43.800 --> 1:12:45.920 two other teams that make a lot of sense? The 1:12:46.000 --> 1:12:49.720 Giants and the Rays? And we could definitely workshop those 1:12:49.720 --> 1:12:54.720 two teams. But I got a plums pick, I got 1:12:54.720 --> 1:12:57.519 a classic Peter Apple. Ain't gonna happen. But it's a 1:12:57.600 --> 1:13:01.840 damn fun conversation and it kind of makes sense. The 1:13:01.840 --> 1:13:07.760 Philadelphia Phillies. Oh and I'll tell you why. So First, 1:13:08.160 --> 1:13:09.760 Dave Dombrowski is a crazy man. 1:13:10.200 --> 1:13:11.559 Yeah, and he he. 1:13:11.560 --> 1:13:14.519 Doesn't give a shit about leveraging the farm and giving 1:13:14.640 --> 1:13:16.800 up for a big piece like Otani. Like I bet 1:13:16.840 --> 1:13:19.120 Dave Dombrowski is sitting in his office right now and 1:13:19.160 --> 1:13:22.759 being like nobody's talking about us, and he's just there's 1:13:22.840 --> 1:13:26.880 something brewing in that stomach of his. And to add 1:13:26.920 --> 1:13:29.800 O Tawni to the fold with this Phillies team that 1:13:29.880 --> 1:13:32.160 is just on the rise, that could be one of 1:13:32.160 --> 1:13:33.600 the things where it's like, yeah, we made it to 1:13:33.640 --> 1:13:36.400 the World Series. We're trying to win this shit this year. 1:13:36.760 --> 1:13:40.720 So I could see Dave Dombrowski, And remember, Dave Dombrowski 1:13:40.800 --> 1:13:44.080 does things that nobody ever expects and he just overpays, 1:13:44.400 --> 1:13:46.080 and it doesn't make a lot of sense when we're 1:13:46.080 --> 1:13:47.639 talking about logical things. 1:13:48.080 --> 1:13:49.080 No, I'm there that. 1:13:49.120 --> 1:13:51.280 History there between Dobrowski and the Angels. They made a 1:13:51.640 --> 1:13:56.200 trades before, So who are the players that would be involved? 1:13:56.280 --> 1:13:58.679 And remember, if I'm Dave dom Browski, we gotta think 1:13:58.720 --> 1:14:02.400 inside the brain of dumb he's over paying, and I'm 1:14:02.439 --> 1:14:05.479 a guy when we're doing these mock trades, I'm always 1:14:05.520 --> 1:14:08.759 over paying anyway. So yeah, Dobrowski and I could definitely 1:14:08.800 --> 1:14:11.040 go get a beer. We talk about trading everybody out 1:14:11.040 --> 1:14:15.360 to the Sun for showy Otani, So who would be 1:14:15.400 --> 1:14:19.400 those prospects? Painter is getting Tommy John and I just 1:14:19.479 --> 1:14:21.599 don't think the Phillies would trade him, And I think 1:14:21.760 --> 1:14:24.120 I'm putting him out of there. But it has to 1:14:24.160 --> 1:14:27.519 start with Mickabel. It just does like Mickabel another top 1:14:27.560 --> 1:14:30.879 pitching prospect. And if Aaron Nola leaves in free agency, 1:14:31.439 --> 1:14:34.120 I mean the Phillies, like Dobrowski will give Otadi like 1:14:34.280 --> 1:14:36.960 seven hundred trillion dollars. I truly think that he might 1:14:37.120 --> 1:14:40.040 end up doing that. Does it make sense again, probably not. 1:14:40.680 --> 1:14:43.560 Does Dombrowski do things that don't make a lot of sense? Absolutely, 1:14:43.920 --> 1:14:46.519 and it works. They go to the World Series. So 1:14:46.800 --> 1:14:49.800 I'm thinking Mickabel and then this is where I need 1:14:49.840 --> 1:14:52.479 your guys's help. But if the Phillies were to trade 1:14:52.479 --> 1:14:57.240 for Otani Mickabel, like, would they put Griff McGarry in there? 1:14:58.439 --> 1:15:00.280 And then would it be a guy like Roha who's 1:15:00.280 --> 1:15:01.800 an outfielder's twenty two years old? 1:15:02.439 --> 1:15:06.200 Yeah, I think that's actually good. That was pretty solid. 1:15:06.640 --> 1:15:10.160 It's so much, it's so much it has to be. 1:15:10.120 --> 1:15:13.920 For a rental, but like it's it's the greatest player 1:15:13.960 --> 1:15:17.160 in team sports. I said that on Twitter and people 1:15:17.200 --> 1:15:19.640 were like, what about Connor McDavid. Connor McDavid, Yeah, is 1:15:19.640 --> 1:15:21.000 he the greatest goalie in hockey? 1:15:21.439 --> 1:15:23.960 He's not even a goalie. He doesn't move exactly. 1:15:24.080 --> 1:15:26.200 No, I'm saying if he was also the one of 1:15:26.240 --> 1:15:30.599 the best hockey Yeah, right, Like it's not Yannis, it's 1:15:30.600 --> 1:15:36.400 not your kitsch, it's not Mahomes, it's Mahomes. Mahomes. No, No, 1:15:36.600 --> 1:15:41.880 because how the defense, How's how's mahomes ability to play cornerbacker, linebacker? 1:15:42.200 --> 1:15:44.040 This is the greatest player in team sports. So it 1:15:44.120 --> 1:15:47.080 is a rental. And Dombrowski just feels like that dude 1:15:47.080 --> 1:15:49.200 that nobody's talking about, I'm like, we got it. We 1:15:49.240 --> 1:15:51.479 got to bring him up somehow because there's no way 1:15:51.520 --> 1:15:52.439 that he is a good See. 1:15:52.920 --> 1:15:55.800 We have had him draft way too quiet. It's a 1:15:55.800 --> 1:15:58.240 good point, like we've walked nobody to the Phillies. They're 1:15:58.240 --> 1:16:00.800 playing good ball, they're in the high they're gonna do 1:16:00.880 --> 1:16:04.280 some shit. Yeah, Like Dobrowski's probably itching to give up 1:16:04.320 --> 1:16:07.439 Ben Brown for Robertson again. He's itching to do something 1:16:07.479 --> 1:16:09.960 like that. Who Jack just saw a shove the other day. 1:16:10.120 --> 1:16:10.400 Shove. 1:16:10.640 --> 1:16:13.080 There's a NEBRASKI doesn't even know who bick Able is. 1:16:13.200 --> 1:16:14.720 He's just a tab on a piece of payper And 1:16:14.800 --> 1:16:17.040 he's like, oh, yeah, he's got a great number. Is perfect. 1:16:17.120 --> 1:16:20.640 Let's give for let's give for Otai. He's the George Steinbrenner. 1:16:20.720 --> 1:16:22.920 That's what I miss with the Yankees. Cash Man's like, oh, 1:16:23.000 --> 1:16:26.080 our eighth and ninth ranked prospects, I'm pretty close fucking 1:16:26.200 --> 1:16:29.920 shut up, Nerd trade some of these prospects for big 1:16:29.960 --> 1:16:32.200 time guys. That's why I like Dombrowski and I'm a 1:16:32.200 --> 1:16:34.160 Phillies guy now way. 1:16:34.240 --> 1:16:39.880 So do you think perryman Asian would do this. I'll 1:16:39.880 --> 1:16:42.840 give you Otani, but I need able. I don't want 1:16:42.840 --> 1:16:45.479 other prospects though, I want a big leaguer. Give me 1:16:45.600 --> 1:16:47.880 Mick Abel and Bryson Stott for Otani. 1:16:47.960 --> 1:16:50.200 I was thinking that, and that just made my stomach 1:16:50.240 --> 1:16:53.640 turn because I love Bryson Stott and like or that. 1:16:53.840 --> 1:16:56.280 Josh Harrison's your second basement in the World Series. I 1:16:56.280 --> 1:16:58.920 mean maybe Josh Harrison's been in some great rundowns. 1:16:59.000 --> 1:17:04.120 Sosa is your second of the World Series. Yeah, Sorber 1:17:04.200 --> 1:17:06.960 can play second. Yeah, actually no, you. 1:17:06.960 --> 1:17:09.040 Would back behind the dish. 1:17:09.800 --> 1:17:13.280 Yes, Schwarbert Catcher as soon as Harper's ucl is fine, 1:17:13.280 --> 1:17:16.240 put him at third and put Bom at short. 1:17:16.880 --> 1:17:18.840 Fuck it, we're just gonna hit. Yeah, we'll get up 1:17:18.920 --> 1:17:20.160 the ruds. We just got out hit him. 1:17:20.960 --> 1:17:23.120 JT was drafted as a short stop. Maybe they could 1:17:23.120 --> 1:17:23.760 stick him there. 1:17:25.120 --> 1:17:28.599 Do you think like I could. I could absolutely see 1:17:28.680 --> 1:17:31.679 Perry Manassian doing that and saying like, we need a big. 1:17:31.520 --> 1:17:37.800 Leaguer, would it be? I mean, do you think no, 1:17:38.000 --> 1:17:40.439 they won't? Like but I think I'm just looking at 1:17:40.439 --> 1:17:42.920 the rotation, like if the Angels want an arm two 1:17:43.160 --> 1:17:48.840 ready now, Like, it's not Nolah Wheeler, Like I know 1:17:48.920 --> 1:17:53.160 it's not Sures either, it's not. Obviously it's not. It's 1:17:53.160 --> 1:17:56.200 a Christopher Sanchez that ain't that ain't pushing the button. 1:17:56.479 --> 1:17:58.200 So it's like, is it Ranger? 1:17:59.439 --> 1:17:59.519 No? 1:17:59.640 --> 1:18:04.040 Because no, So it has to be these prospects. And 1:18:04.479 --> 1:18:06.600 I don't know, like we can workshop the Rais and 1:18:06.680 --> 1:18:09.559 the Giants, right they could actually make it off or 1:18:09.560 --> 1:18:12.280 that makes sense for the podcast help us sleep at night, 1:18:12.360 --> 1:18:13.880 be like, oh we were so safe with that one. 1:18:13.960 --> 1:18:17.600 Great job boys, you know what I'm saying. But I 1:18:17.640 --> 1:18:20.080 think the Phillies could really make a splash here. It's 1:18:20.160 --> 1:18:22.320 just it's one of those teams that's too damn quiet 1:18:22.400 --> 1:18:22.760 right now. 1:18:23.240 --> 1:18:25.880 Well, I will say this too, Mick Abel's a really 1:18:25.920 --> 1:18:29.439 talented arm and top one hundred prospect, no doubt, but 1:18:29.560 --> 1:18:32.519 he's not like in this tier of his own, like 1:18:32.560 --> 1:18:35.240 Andrew Paynter even without the Tommy John Like, I'm not 1:18:35.280 --> 1:18:38.960 trading him in and Otani rental deal because Painter is 1:18:39.600 --> 1:18:40.439 was right there with Yuri. 1:18:40.520 --> 1:18:41.320 They were neck and neck, and. 1:18:41.320 --> 1:18:44.639 If trading Holiday and yeah, it's just like. 1:18:44.560 --> 1:18:46.800 It's it just doesn't seem like it makes enough sense 1:18:46.880 --> 1:18:49.160 unless you're getting a superstar for four or five years. 1:18:49.479 --> 1:18:51.240 So you know, if it was a Sodo deal, then 1:18:51.280 --> 1:18:55.280 then we're talking. But Abel is struggling with command, like 1:18:55.360 --> 1:18:58.160 the numbers have still not been that great. He could 1:18:58.160 --> 1:19:00.160 figure it out and be a really good starter, but 1:19:00.200 --> 1:19:02.439 there's still plenty of risk there, Like there's a chance 1:19:02.479 --> 1:19:04.200 that you might not even think about it at all 1:19:04.320 --> 1:19:07.600 in a couple of years if you move Able and 1:19:07.680 --> 1:19:10.559 McGarry's another guy with horrible command by the way, uh, 1:19:10.760 --> 1:19:12.960 and then Rojas, like those are three guys that you 1:19:13.000 --> 1:19:15.600 know for the Angels to get that for rental phenomenal 1:19:15.680 --> 1:19:18.760 that's great. Able is instantly their best pitching prospect, and 1:19:19.040 --> 1:19:21.599 you've got, you know, two other pieces that are big 1:19:21.600 --> 1:19:23.639 for you, and Rowas could end up playing center field 1:19:23.640 --> 1:19:25.680 for you. Is Trout maybe starts to slow down and 1:19:25.680 --> 1:19:28.479 move elsewhere in DH A lot so well better than 1:19:28.520 --> 1:19:31.400 trout Now, yeah, maniac is legitimately better. 1:19:31.520 --> 1:19:34.080 But also one more note on this, Peter former. 1:19:34.160 --> 1:19:37.160 The line of communications here, the line of communications here. 1:19:37.160 --> 1:19:42.040 They've traded together. Perry and Dombrowski specifically worked out a 1:19:42.080 --> 1:19:44.360 trade that most teams would not agree to. You know 1:19:44.400 --> 1:19:46.479 how hard it is to get your prospect from my prospect. 1:19:46.520 --> 1:19:48.240 We talk about that all the time, or your youngster 1:19:48.320 --> 1:19:50.599 for my youngster. I always like my youngster more than 1:19:50.600 --> 1:19:52.640 your youngster. And if I don't like my youngster more 1:19:52.680 --> 1:19:55.040 than your youngster, then I'm wary because I'm like, what 1:19:55.040 --> 1:19:56.040 do you know that I don't? 1:19:56.320 --> 1:19:59.559 So that marsh for ohappy swap. I mean there's some. 1:19:59.560 --> 1:20:02.760 Amic ability here, So I'm I'm like, this is your 1:20:02.880 --> 1:20:04.960 some of your best Galaxy brain work, Peter. 1:20:06.200 --> 1:20:07.160 One of them's got a hit. 1:20:09.200 --> 1:20:13.040 Yes, should we fly through like a raise one? 1:20:13.400 --> 1:20:13.599 Yeah? 1:20:13.760 --> 1:20:15.519 Like the Rays actually make. 1:20:15.439 --> 1:20:17.200 The most sense. But I keep thinking to myself, like 1:20:17.720 --> 1:20:20.720 are the Giants you know, according to you guys, every 1:20:20.760 --> 1:20:22.960 Giants prospect is the best player of all time, So 1:20:23.000 --> 1:20:24.000 I can't trade any of those. 1:20:24.439 --> 1:20:26.080 The Rays is the main thing. 1:20:26.240 --> 1:20:27.760 No, No, that's how I heard it, So that's all 1:20:27.760 --> 1:20:31.800 I'm thinking about it. So the Rays their top prospects, 1:20:31.800 --> 1:20:33.439 No way they can all get traded because they're all 1:20:33.439 --> 1:20:35.840 going to be perennial All Stars too. So the Rays 1:20:35.840 --> 1:20:40.920 and Giants technically can't trade anybody. According to you guys, yeahs. 1:20:43.760 --> 1:20:46.320 To Tampa. This is just off the dome. Otani to 1:20:46.400 --> 1:20:55.560 Tampa for Wander Yes, wander Arose Arena and McClanahan to 1:20:55.680 --> 1:21:06.320 Tampa for Ronda and Ronnie Simon. Is that too much? 1:21:06.439 --> 1:21:07.960 Yeah, people just logged off the show. 1:21:08.520 --> 1:21:13.080 Yeah, that's pretty ass. It's pretty asking for to the 1:21:13.080 --> 1:21:13.800 Phillies offer. 1:21:14.160 --> 1:21:18.040 I know it would have to be Mead and the need. 1:21:17.880 --> 1:21:19.320 Would have to be in there that it'd be like 1:21:19.360 --> 1:21:22.439 Granda Mead and then a piece. And that's honestly pretty 1:21:22.520 --> 1:21:23.480 damn good. 1:21:25.120 --> 1:21:27.200 Junior Cameron. I always saw in the Futures Game that 1:21:27.280 --> 1:21:30.160 dude is a fucking training No, I'm just talking about it. 1:21:30.200 --> 1:21:32.160 Oh yeah, No, he's a train engine. 1:21:33.280 --> 1:21:34.360 He's unbelievable. 1:21:34.439 --> 1:21:37.679 He's like just another Yondie, except he played better defense. 1:21:37.720 --> 1:21:40.200 I mean, and he's fucking nineteen and he looks like that. 1:21:40.320 --> 1:21:41.200 Dude's a truck. 1:21:41.800 --> 1:21:45.720 The Rays got him for Tobias Myers from the Guardians. 1:21:45.920 --> 1:21:46.400 You just made it. 1:21:49.520 --> 1:21:50.040 He's pitching. 1:21:50.120 --> 1:21:52.639 Tobias Myers was was a forty It was a forty 1:21:52.640 --> 1:21:56.200 man situation, which is really funny. So the Guardians are like, 1:21:56.720 --> 1:21:59.000 let's let's move an arm because we need to clear 1:21:59.080 --> 1:22:03.000 up some forty man space, and legitimately, just like I 1:22:03.160 --> 1:22:05.360 just excuse me, the Rays, We're like, let's move an arm. 1:22:05.520 --> 1:22:07.840 We need the forty men space. And the Guardians are like, oh, 1:22:07.880 --> 1:22:08.519 we'll take an arm. 1:22:08.680 --> 1:22:10.960 We'll give you a lower level flyer here. You can 1:22:11.000 --> 1:22:13.160 take junior common Arrow, like that's who they ask for, 1:22:13.240 --> 1:22:14.080 and now he's. 1:22:13.920 --> 1:22:15.439 The top five prospect in baseball. 1:22:15.960 --> 1:22:18.960 Tobias Myers is now pitching in Double A, not even 1:22:19.000 --> 1:22:21.920 triple so kind of shows you what's up there. 1:22:22.160 --> 1:22:25.000 I mean, they could trade Carson Williams right shortstop what 1:22:25.120 --> 1:22:27.600 they for thirty years? 1:22:28.000 --> 1:22:30.720 Yeah, yeah, I love Carson Williams. 1:22:30.840 --> 1:22:33.559 But in an Otawi deal, one hundred percent, you do 1:22:33.680 --> 1:22:37.040 Ronda Carson Williams and then you can probably keep Meat instead, 1:22:37.280 --> 1:22:40.000 who fits more into it. Positionally, you can play third 1:22:40.080 --> 1:22:42.599 or first or whatever. You trade Carson Williams and Ronda 1:22:42.960 --> 1:22:46.240 and like Mason Montgomery. That's a really damn good offer. 1:22:46.280 --> 1:22:49.680 I think I agree, and then you want to work 1:22:49.680 --> 1:22:51.760 shop the Giants real quick because the Giants are another 1:22:51.800 --> 1:22:53.800 team where I don't see any reason why they couldn't. 1:22:54.000 --> 1:22:55.600 So the reason why I think the Giants should do 1:22:55.680 --> 1:22:57.880 it is I think they're gonna pay. 1:22:57.960 --> 1:22:58.040 Like. 1:22:58.080 --> 1:22:59.639 I think they're gonna make one of the best offers. 1:22:59.640 --> 1:23:02.240 We've talked about how like they've been trying to pay Judge, 1:23:02.240 --> 1:23:05.639 they've been they tried to pay Korea. And if you 1:23:05.680 --> 1:23:08.120 give up the prospect capital, it helps you this year, 1:23:08.320 --> 1:23:11.360 but you also buy that negotiating window for a couple 1:23:11.320 --> 1:23:13.000 of months where you know you could kind of get 1:23:13.000 --> 1:23:16.040 a head start on trying to lock up Otani before 1:23:16.080 --> 1:23:18.160 he hits free agency. I don't know if he'd be 1:23:18.200 --> 1:23:20.240 willing to negotiate through the next couple of months, but 1:23:20.560 --> 1:23:24.160 there's a chance, and you have that negotiating window. Now, 1:23:24.200 --> 1:23:28.120 I'm trading Reggie Crawford Peter Now. Now Reggie Crawford can go. 1:23:28.360 --> 1:23:30.360 I don't know he's hitting and he's a first rounder. 1:23:31.160 --> 1:23:32.840 Yeah he can kick rocks now. 1:23:33.200 --> 1:23:37.840 Yeah, for Paul de Young and Tyler O'Neal. 1:23:38.960 --> 1:23:43.360 Surious, just curious, who would you who would the Cardinals 1:23:44.000 --> 1:23:47.040 need to give the Giants for Reggie Crawford because I'm 1:23:47.040 --> 1:23:49.000 a Tyler. I ain't afraid to say it. 1:23:49.240 --> 1:23:57.559 I just am all right Carlson or Aeronato. Oh, Reggie 1:23:57.560 --> 1:24:00.519 Crawford for Carlson, Reggie Crawford for Carlson. 1:24:01.680 --> 1:24:04.840 I think even a little bit more, slightly more Reddie 1:24:04.840 --> 1:24:06.400 Crawford and like a little level piece. 1:24:06.720 --> 1:24:10.320 Okay, No, I would prefer Dylan Carlson over Tyler on Neil. 1:24:10.360 --> 1:24:13.000 I just there's something in there, and maybe it's the body. 1:24:13.240 --> 1:24:16.200 Maybe I'm to look at him too much. The pheromones 1:24:16.240 --> 1:24:19.439 are kicking your ass. They are. I fall into it. 1:24:19.479 --> 1:24:22.160 I'm I'm a Dobrowski guy, so fall in love. 1:24:22.520 --> 1:24:26.120 Could you imagine the episode when whoever acquires Tyler O'Neill, 1:24:26.479 --> 1:24:30.120 like he goes Mannyville and Los Angeles like like Manny 1:24:30.200 --> 1:24:32.920 Ramirez dead and hits four hundred for like two months, 1:24:32.960 --> 1:24:34.880 and Peter's gonna come back on the podcast and just 1:24:35.000 --> 1:24:35.960 say fuck you. 1:24:35.920 --> 1:24:37.200 I will you know what's gonna happen. 1:24:37.320 --> 1:24:38.280 Let you forget it. 1:24:38.439 --> 1:24:41.080 San Francisco is gonna go get Tyler O'Neal for Carson 1:24:41.080 --> 1:24:42.760 Wizen Hunts straight up, and he's gonna come back and 1:24:42.800 --> 1:24:44.280 flip the bird when we hop on. 1:24:44.280 --> 1:24:48.679 Soon and Carson Wizard is going to suck for the Cardinals. Yes, 1:24:50.000 --> 1:24:52.640 he'll be a libert toward two point oh yeah no, 1:24:52.720 --> 1:24:55.120 but let's finish the giants for a Tawny deal just 1:24:55.160 --> 1:24:58.280 real quick.
