1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: If you're Cleveland right now, when you look at their

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: farm system, do you need to consider Kwan Class A

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Santana moving them to try to get six or seven

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: young players to kind of rebuild this lineup.

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: Here we go.

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 3: It's JB.

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: Jim Bowden, our resident GM, joining us right now on

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: FT JB. Good to see you, and you know how

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: it is. The draft happens, then the All Star Game

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: in the Derby happens, and then trade talk happens for

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: the next couple weeks. So let's officially crank open the door.

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: We'll be chatting with you more frequently over the next

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: couple weeks. And I would like to start with two

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: pretty big market teams that are making a push after

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: some disappointing seasons before this one, Cubs Blue Jays. I've

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: seen recent articles of yours point out how both teams

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: need some starting pitching. Can you elaborate on that for us?

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: And do you have any names in mind?

19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

20
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: I do, And the Cubs and Jay aren't alone, right,

21
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: You got to put in there the Astros. You gotta

22
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: put in their Yankees and Red Sox as well, because

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: they're all going after the same starting pitching group.

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 3: That we all expect to be traded.

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, the Cubs are all in Jed Hoyer,

26
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: their presidents on his free agent Walkier.

27
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 3: He's gonna do anything he can to win right now.

28
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: And the Blue Jays have been very clear with opposing

29
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: GMS that their goal is to add another starting pitcher.

30
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: And I think both teams are going to be aggressive.

31
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: So the market's kind of thin, right. Sandy al Contra

32
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: has fizzled enough in July that I don't think he

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: can make enough starts to get traded.

34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 3: I don't think his value is going to go up.

35
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: And people that thought Freddy Peralt is going to be traded, No,

36
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: He's going to be pitching in a playoff game for Milwaukee.

37
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: And so, you know, I think some of the guys

38
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: that we thought were going to be traded are not

39
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: going to be.

40
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: So let's talk about another one in Zach Allen, who

41
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: has been so bad that his trade value is diminished

42
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: to the point of almost shocking.

43
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: Right, So who is going to get traded? Mitch Keller

44
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: or the Pirates?

45
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: He gone, right, Merrill Kelly, good chance he goes with Arizona.

46
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to get Edward Cabrera from Miami, but you

47
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: have to really overpay to get him. Everybody's waiting to

48
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: see if Kansas City continues to fall out of it

49
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: some more, because there is a feeling that maybe Seth

50
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: Lugo and or Michael Waka could get moved. If that happens,

51
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: people are waiting on the Angels to see if you

52
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: say Kakuchi is gonna get moved, will Sonny gray Wade

53
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: the no trade and Saint Louis end up at the

54
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: deadline trading him, And then the most obvious two other

55
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: guys that probably will get moved, Charlie Morton and Sigano

56
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: with the Baltimoreals. So those are the groups of pitchers

57
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: that these teams are chasing, and it's gonna be fun

58
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: to see. And I've said this before, the general manager

59
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: and team president in the last two weeks in July

60
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: are just as important as the star players because a

61
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: lot of times the moves they make or don't make

62
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: will have as much to do of who wins the

63
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: division or makes the playoffs and who doesn't.

64
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: Okay, a couple of things you just brought up in

65
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: that whole thing. First, I used to Hawk Harrelson is them,

66
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: so I give you credit for that. The sweaterers terrible,

67
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 4: but the Hawk harrelson ism kind of makes up for

68
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 4: the sweatshirt.

69
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: Sorry, just Son is the GM of USC agent.

70
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll give you half a pass on that only

71
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: because I have a Reggie Bush side jersey hanging on

72
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 4: my wall.

73
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: So that's the pass.

74
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: Go.

75
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 4: But said Heisman, he lost and now he got it back,

76
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: so it's worth more now, So thank you. But you

77
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 4: mentioned some of these guys that are getting traded, How

78
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 4: how in depth? How deep are the Cubs and Jay's

79
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 4: willing to go for some of these guys that we're

80
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: not so sure are going to change their future and

81
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 4: get them to the World Series. So how heavily invested

82
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 4: will some of these teams go?

83
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

84
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean I think in the two teams you're mentioning specifically,

85
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: the Cubs continue to dangle Owen Cassie and Kevin olcntra,

86
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: so I think they're willing to trade one of those

87
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: two outfielders to get the starting pitcher. You know, they

88
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: do match up well with the Pittsburgh Pirates, who desperately

89
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: need offense. Cassie could be the starting left fielder for

90
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh for a long time.

91
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: You know, if they make that deal.

92
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: And you know, the Cubs are gonna try to make

93
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: a run at Kyle Tucker to bring him back. And

94
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: they also have all contra so they have a little

95
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: depth in the outfield if they trade Cassie. So you know,

96
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: I think that's about as far as the Cubs go.

97
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: And then I think in terms of the Blue Jays,

98
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: you know, the.

99
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: Gloves are off. I mean they're really open.

100
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: They're smelling that they can make the playoffs, they're smelling

101
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: that they can win. And so I think that in

102
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: terms of their farm system, especially knowing that again Mark

103
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: Chapara and Ross.

104
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: Atkins, their contracts are up.

105
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if they can sit there and make the postseason,

106
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna get long term contracts.

107
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 3: They're gonna do whatever it takes. I'm just telling you

108
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: at the end of the day.

109
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're willing to trade their top prospects to

110
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: try to win.

111
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: Right now.

112
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: I like it. I like it. As a player, I won't.

113
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 4: I always one of my team to try to win,

114
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: So I like it. I like the Jays and everybody else.

115
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 4: Let's go Jay's Cubs. Whoever it is, let's go get

116
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 4: all in now. Teams that need reliever help, Tigers, Phillies

117
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 4: for sure. Is there any other teams out there and

118
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 4: what are their options for relievers?

119
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: Yeah? Great question. The Mets.

120
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Phillies and Mets in the same division are

121
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: fighting for the relievers and to trade as well.

122
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 3: As you mentioned.

123
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: And by the way, when we talk about relievers, every

124
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: contending team wants to upgrade the relievers.

125
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: I was talking to the Astros today.

126
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: They want a reliever along along with a starter and

127
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: a left handed bat.

128
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: It's just what you do, as you guys know.

129
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: But the three teams we just mentioned, or you know,

130
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: especially the Tigers and Phillies, you know, they could go

131
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: huge here, right.

132
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 3: I don't think the Mets are gonna go huge.

133
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: They've got Daz that they're they're they're pretty solid back there,

134
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: but they're in the mix.

135
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: So who's gonna go? The Pirates are gonna.

136
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: Trade David Bednar and Dennis Santana likelihood they're gonna go.

137
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: So teams like the Tigers, the Phillies and Mets are

138
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: engaged with ben Cherrington. We all know Pittsburgh's needs. Again,

139
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: it's young hitters that are not arbitration eligible.

140
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 3: That they can control.

141
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: Ben Cherrington to save his job has to have a

142
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: good trade deadline, which means Bennar saying, hann of Calla,

143
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: they go maybe more. I keep hearing Emmanuel Classe's name,

144
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: and I think Cleveland's at the point now where they're

145
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: looking at their lineup. They're twenty six and run scored

146
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: twentieth in home runs, and they're feeling like, look, we

147
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: can put Kate Smith closing.

148
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 3: Let's move on from Class A.

149
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: He's got an affordable contract, he's signed. We can do

150
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: well prospect wise, so you know, I think they can

151
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: move them, and teams like the Phillies and the Mets

152
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: and the Tigers, they have enough in their farm system

153
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: to make a deal. I think he more likely goes

154
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: to Philly or the Mets than the Tigers. I'm not

155
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: sure they're gonna do it trade them in their own

156
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: division unless they get overwhelmed. I also keep hearing about

157
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: the Twins relievers. They're not going to trade starter Joe Ryan,

158
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: but they'll listen on Duran and Jacks. That's kind of fascinating.

159
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: You've got the Nationals. They're gonna move Kyle Finn again.

160
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: Will be using to see what Mike de Bartolow does

161
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: as the interim GM over.

162
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 3: There there are some teams.

163
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: That think there's a possibility that the Athletics this time

164
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: around will listen on Mason Miller. And there are teams

165
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: that want to make him a starter. They want to

166
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: trade for him and make him a starter, and you know,

167
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 1: athletics need quantity of pictures in return.

168
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: It would be a big package. But I mean, that'd

169
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: be a huge get for someone.

170
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: And again, as we mentioned earlier with the starters on

171
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: Walk in Lugo, people are waiting on the Royals to

172
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: see if they fall out of it, if they'll move

173
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: Carlos Aestebez. So those are some of the relievers that

174
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: everyone's kind of focusing on.

175
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: Hey have you heard of Built?

176
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: No? Do you pay rent? Yes?

Speaker 2: some big names, big big names. Let's hit position players

199
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: to JB. Whyer, we have you, So let's start with

200
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: third base. I know you recently talked about the Mariners

201
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: and a hole that they have, but also a team

202
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: like the Yankees has been brought up. They have a

203
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: very clear need for that position. Do you think there

204
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: will be a competition for someone like au Heneo Suarez

205
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: between those two and maybe one or two others.

206
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so let's let's start with Seattle.

207
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: So Seattle's looking for first base or third base, right,

208
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: But they do have Ben Williamson at third and anyone

209
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: that's been watch their games is loving his leather, right.

210
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a really good glove. So I

211
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: think their preference probably would be to ad the bad

212
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: at first base, not third base. So you know, they

213
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: do match up well with Arizona, right, because Arizona's got

214
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: Josh Naylor and you Anyo Swarrez.

215
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 3: If they sell, which is a big question, by the way,

216
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: but if.

217
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: They sell, I think the Mariners are more likely to

218
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: make a deal for Naylor than Suarez instead of having

219
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: a reunion with him. Swarez in the Yankees, swore as

220
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: in the Cubs, and swore as in the Brewers, the

221
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: three teams that I keep hearing if they were to

222
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: move them. Now, you know, when I when I talked

223
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: to Mike cays and on my radio show a couple

224
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, he made very clear to me he's

225
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: buying he wants pitching, and he said, look, when I

226
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: made the trade for Nailor and sware As I knew

227
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: they were going to be free agents. I was all

228
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: part of the plan. And so look, whether he trades

229
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: or not, I think time will tell. But Suarez, you know,

230
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: in those thirty home runs, that changes things for the Yankees.

231
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 3: It really adds to the Chicago Cubs.

232
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: It's a It probably wins the division for the Brewers Apps.

233
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: So you know, I think at the end of the day,

234
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: it's what are you willing to step up and pay?

235
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: Is someone going to overpay for two months of Suarez?

236
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean that becomes a big question. I think it's

237
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: going to be a fascinating storyline, and I think how

238
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: Arizona plays these next two weeks out of the gate

239
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: is going to determine if they buy or sell. But

240
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: I promise you everybody that needs a third baseman, and

241
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: the three teams we just mentioned, they're watching very closely

242
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: with binoculars and scouts in the stands on every Unio

243
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: Suarez at bat, including when he got hit by the

244
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: pitch of the All Star Game.

245
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: I had one scout text me, go, oh no, please

246
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: don't tell me. So it's going to be interesting.

247
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: When I started seeing those tweets, with the home run

248
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: derby swing off participants and I saw Gino Suarez. I

249
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: was like, are they sure like the Diamondbacks online one

250
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: saying absolutely not. I don't care if he wants to

251
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 2: do this, and they did scratch him, which made sense.

252
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 3: JB.

253
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: I got another name for you that I think's fascinating.

254
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 2: I was on a Cleveland radio show the other day

255
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: and I was stating my case for why this player

256
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: should be a Guardian for life. Stephen Kuan is the name.

257
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, we can't afford him long term. When

258
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: you have your fan base thinking you can't afford Stephen

259
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: Kwan long term, you are certainly fooling them. I know

260
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: that the Cleveland Guardians don't spend a lot of money,

261
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: but it's not like he's going to command hundreds of

262
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: millions of dollars. What would you do if you're running

263
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: the Guardians right now? Would you trade him? Because he

264
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 2: certainly provides that variety in a lineup as a contact

265
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: guy was great last year in the playoffs for the Guardians.

266
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 2: He has his limitations. Elite defender, great base runner. Isn't

267
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: this someone you would lock up? Or would you trade him?

268
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: Because you have to make that decision. Right, He's got

269
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: a couple of years of control after this. What are

270
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: you going to do?

271
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, look, Cleveland's got a tight budget, right,

272
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: it's not easy. And although you look at Kwan, you

273
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to be expensive. If I'm the

274
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: agent for Kwan, this is a go glove left fielder

275
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: with top two in baseball and contact rate. This guy

276
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: gets on base. You know what Kwan would do for

277
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: the Padres right now? You put on at the top

278
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: of that lineup with Tatise and Marilyn Machado and I

279
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm just drooling down the left side of

280
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: my mouth just thinking about it. And So if you're

281
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: Cleveland right now and you look at their farm system,

282
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: do you need to consider Kwan Class A Santana moving

283
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: them to try to get six or seven young players

284
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: to kind of rebuild this lineup? Knowing that you control

285
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: Kwan for two more years and then you know then

286
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: what then you either have to extend them and pay

287
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: them what eighteen million a year? Sixteen million a year?

288
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's going to be somewhere in that range.

289
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: And if you're the agent, you're asking for more than that.

290
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a difficult question without knowing where the

291
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: agent is. But I guess my answer to you is,

292
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: I would be exploring everything right now. I would be

293
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: exploring trade. Can I make a trade that's going to

294
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: help me win because this is a really good player.

295
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: I'd also be exploring trying to sign them long term.

296
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: And if I can't do either, I'm gonna I'm gonna

297
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: let him go through the system right now, and I'll

298
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: readdress it in the offseason, or I'll readdress it next July.

299
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: You know, there's no gun in my head. I control

300
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 3: them for two more years.

301
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 4: By the way, don't the Padres already have Stephen Kuan

302
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 4: is his name? Luisa Rise, Maybe you can have two

303
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: of those guys. Batting average doesn't matter.

304
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: Jai can't tell them, no, no, it doesn't matter.

305
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: Same aj They're not the same because Kwan's gold glove

306
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: defense or Ice is a DH and number two Arises

307
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: a free agent at the end of the year.

308
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 3: And I can control Kwan for two more years. After this.

309
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: Arise is going to play his last few months as

310
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: a Padre. Then he got he won't be there next year.

311
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: So that's the difference. Between the two my opinion, that's

312
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: why I.

313
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 4: Think batting average matters. But I'm not a GM or

314
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: a former GM. I just play one on the show,

315
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 4: so I get it. I get it, Jim, all Right,

316
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. So here's my question for you. You're

317
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 4: talking about these position players, and you're talking about teams.

318
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 4: Just say they can't afford this, and it can't afford that.

319
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 4: The Pittsburgh Pirates, right, Bob Nudding, the Pittsburgh Pirates and you.

320
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 4: But they have Cabrian Hayes who hasn't been really good

321
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 4: offense in a long time. But Brian Reynolds would be

322
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 4: attractive to some teams even with this salary. Would they

323
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 4: think about moving one of those two guys that are

324
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 4: locked into long term deals.

325
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do.

326
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: They're going to have a hard time moving Hayes unless

327
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: they're going to pay a lot of the money down

328
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: because it actually is a bad contract for a guy

329
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: that just doesn't hit for power, but he can defend.

330
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: I would love to see him going to the Yankees,

331
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: where we all remember his dad, Charlie and what he

332
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: did for the Yankees and the postseason. I think that

333
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: would be a good fit in I'd like him to be,

334
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, have a different hitting group, kind of talking

335
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: to him see if there isn't a way to kind

336
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: of improve it. Because I always saw him in VP,

337
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: and I always felt like he could be forty doubles

338
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: twenty homers. He's never lived up to that. He's had

339
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. But I also feel like he's

340
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: got untapped potential. But yeah, I think I think they

341
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: would move him if they could have the right deal.

342
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: And I think Brian Reynolds, I think there's a really

343
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: good chance that he gets traded first, just because you know,

344
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: it's the market is so thin on outfielders, right. You

345
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: have Lewis Robert of the White Sox. You know, you've

346
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: got Ryan O'Hearn, who you know is a first baseman

347
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: d H type.

348
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: There's just not a lot of bats that are out there.

349
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: And you know, I think if you're the Pirates with Reynolds,

350
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: if you could turn him into two young bats, you know,

351
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: that would make some sense. I mean, ERG has got

352
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: to sell mortimercell and they've got a rock and roll,

353
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: they got a rattle. I mean, I would think if

354
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: you're Ben Cherry, don't you think that you're kind of

355
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: in trouble. I mean, you said, there with a good

356
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: pitching staff and you can't score any runs, you have

357
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: to do something about it. So you don't make the

358
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: deal with the Cubs and get Cassie. Don't be afraid

359
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: to trade Reynolds to Kansas City. You know who's got

360
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: a nice prospect package, including an elite catching prospect you

361
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: can get back into. I mean, there are some things

362
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: that Ben needs to go out and do. He can't

363
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: keep going down this road. Look, the owner's not gonna

364
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: get any money. We got to hope the new CBA

365
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: forces him to spend money. But until we get there,

366
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: Ben's got to find a way to get inexpensive bats.

367
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, trading veterans like Reynolds and Hayes at this

368
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: point makes sense. And by the way, I'd like to

369
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: see both of those guys get a chance to play

370
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: for a contender.

371
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 3: It'd be good for their game.

372
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 4: Agreed, I totally agree. But I mean Ben Sherington's got

373
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 4: to feel like he's on the hot seat. The already

374
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 4: got rid of the manager. Usually the GM is after

375
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 4: the manager, and Ben Sherrington's been there for a while,

376
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 4: so at some point everyone's time is up, Jim, as

377
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 4: you know all right before I let you go. The

378
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 4: swing off was a big topic after the All Star Game.

379
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 4: Are you a fan of it?

380
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: I loved it.

381
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 4: Heck, why not. Let's bring this into the regular season.

382
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 4: If you get to the twelfth inning we have a

383
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 4: swing off, and think of some of the matchups we

384
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: could have on some of the big great teams to

385
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 4: keep the fans engaged. It would be exciting. I loved it.

386
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 4: My kid loved it. Who's eighteen years old. He watched it.

387
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: He loved it.

388
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 4: Every person I've talked to, for the most part, has

389
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 4: loved it. I think it's a great idea.

390
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: It was the funnest All Star game I've ever seen.

391
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it was the best, because that eight

392
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: game in the Bronx, the ninety four game that was

393
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: eight seven, and as a kid, Reggie Jackson at Tiger Stadium,

394
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: and of course Ray Fosse thing in nineteen seventy. But

395
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 1: this was the funnest for sure All Star game. And

396
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: it was a great game.

397
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 3: Right.

398
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: We had the power pitching of Skeins and Ryan. We

399
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: had the power bats in the nine innings with Rooker,

400
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: Alonso and Carrol going deep. We had great defense in

401
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: the ninth by both Suarez and Olsen. We saw the

402
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: importance of speed when Bobby Witch Speed got that run

403
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: to tie at six six, we saw six nothing lead

404
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: go to six six like we had all that drama

405
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: and then we had this swing off. Now, granted, if

406
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: I had my say, I want to see Otawny and

407
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: Judge not Stours in Randa. Nothing against them, but I

408
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: hope next year when the managers set their three guys,

409
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: let's get the superstars that. Oh, by the way, some

410
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: of them that didn't want to do the derby put

411
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: him in to do this.

412
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 3: That was the coolest thing ever.

413
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: I felt like I was in my backyard as a

414
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: kid playing wifle ball home run derby.

415
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 3: It was so fun.

416
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: And then to see schwarbur on three pitches, three homers

417
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: to win it, and so they win seven to six

418
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: because of it, like all I have five, All of

419
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: them loved it.

420
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: All of them were blowing up my text.

421
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

422
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: It was exciting. It was great for baseball. Now in

423
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: terms of the regular season, AJ please please no, no,

424
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: no, no please no All Star Game? Yes, I love it.

425
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: You want to do it in spring training? I think

426
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: it'd be fun in spring training too. But no, no, no, no, not.

427
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: The regular season of the playoffs.

428
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: Please no, Now, I'm with you, not playoffs twelve inting.

429
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: I'm interested, JB.

430
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that as a fan.

431
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 4: I hold, come on, Jimmy, listen. You didn't probably want

432
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 4: the pitch block. You didn't want a lot of the

433
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 4: rules that are.

434
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 3: I didn't want the Manfred.

435
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 4: You didn't want the Manfred Runner. You didn't want more divisions,

436
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 4: you didn't want more play off I'm still stuck in

437
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 4: nineteen sixty. You didn't want them to lower the mound when

438
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 4: Bob Gibson was going a one to.

439
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 3: Two e R.

440
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 4: I know you are, Jim.

441
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 5: I wanted all of it, and I love this I did.

442
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 5: I don't want to lose. The is the guy throwing

443
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 5: BP didn't give my guy the right pitch in the

444
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 5: twelfth thing, and I better BP throwers.

445
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 3: Is one game the thrower. I had a game one

446
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: sixty three in nineteen ninety nine.

447
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: That I lost to Al Lighter in the Mets, and

448
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: I'll never forget it. I don't want to lose in

449
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: the twelfth inning because Evil doesn't throw a good pitch

450
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: and my guy hits the wall.

451
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 2: No, no, Hey, we're looking for the best athletes in

452
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 2: the world to play the sport, and I guess maybe

453
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 2: searching for the best BP throwers too. But yeah, I

454
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: think we're clear. I don't think it's going to be

455
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 2: a topic, at least not for a while. It was fun, though.

456
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: My last thing is mandate. You can't leave until the

457
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: game's over now, so you gotta wait two more hours

458
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: for those private jets, Joe Tani and everyone else. Two

459
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: more hours please, so that we can see you potentially

460
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 2: in the derby that you're talking about. That would be

461
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 2: the next the next rung. And I know the chances

462
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 2: of it happening, obviously, it's like a ten percent chance

463
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: that you get that, But still that would be the

464
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: plea JB. Great stuff.

465
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: Yes.

466
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: One last thing though, is you have to understand from

467
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: every All Star game from now on, I'm going to

468
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: root for a tie. Yes, we all are walking for

469
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: that last tie. And I couldn't believe what happened in

470
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: that tie. And now who would have thought in twenty

471
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: twenty five we're going to root for ties every year.

472
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 4: Let's go, Yes, let's do it.

473
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: Hey, A lot of fans will go there and they

474
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: don't really care if the NL or the AL wins.

475
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: They're just gonna want to swing up. Maybe we try

476
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 2: and come up with a way to incorporate the swing

477
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 2: off into every game.

478
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't know.

479
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: It's like the game finishes and then if you win

480
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: the swing off, you had an extra two runs or

481
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. We can start to get creative because

482
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: if fans loved it and it's an exhibition game anyway,

483
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: let's try to make it more than a ten percent

484
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: chance of being in the game. Can we all agree

485
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 2: on that? Yes, agree with that, perfect JB. We'll hit

486
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 2: you again soon. We'll talk next week for more trade

487
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: designe action.

488
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: Thanks guys,
