You know pretty much, 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,319 Speaker 1: you know, nothing different from Greig Breslow today.

Let's get to 37 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: the juiciness here, and uh, let's kick off with the 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: comments being made here. Let's kick off with the comments 39 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: and uh, when it comes to Craig Breslow, right, when 40 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: it comes to Creig Breslow, like I said, uh, you know, 41 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: not really a whole lot different from him, not really 42 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: a whole lot different when it comes to you know, 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: what he's been saying to the media. You know, a 44 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: lot of people out there, you know, using the word 45 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: salad thing, you know, you know, But again, when you 46 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: got to remember when it comes to Craig Breslow, yes, 47 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: he can definitely say a lot without saying all that much. 48 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: But that's a lot of general managers out there, man, 49 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, it's a little frustrating because you're 50 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: still waiting for the Red Sox to add that right 51 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: handed bat to the lineup, maybe sign a reliever for 52 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: the back end of the bullpen as well. Yes, I agree, 53 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: you do want to see the Red Sox spend some money. 54 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: But you have to remember too, these gms, you know, 55 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: President Baseball Operations, they're gonna say a whole lot enough 56 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: and most of the time, and that's why you got 57 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: to pay attention to, you know, try and look for 58 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: some of the little words that they use, right, you know, 59 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: that's where you get that's where you get your juicy 60 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: little hints. But Bresla, for the most part, he can't 61 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: really say all that much lately when it comes to 62 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: you know, any pursuit of free agents, trades, whatever it 63 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: may be. You know, you can't do it because at 64 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, that's privacy, right, 65 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, you got to respect the player as well, 66 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: you know, and also you don't want to lose any 67 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: sort of leverager, you know, anything like that. It's best 68 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: just not to say anything when it comes to free 69 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: agent pursuits and trades. Yeah, you can't really, right because 70 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: those guys are on other teams. So but everyone knows, 71 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: you know, there's no secret it's Bregman, it's Aeronauto and 72 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: h when it comes to possible right handed bats. Now, 73 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: when it comes to some of the Breslo comments, you know, 74 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: he touched on a number of things today, right talked 75 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: about some of the prospects coming up, talked about the bullpen, 76 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: did talk about the right handed bat and what I 77 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: actually found pretty interesting, where was the bullpen comments. We'll 78 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: dive into that in just a little bit. But everyone 79 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: wants to know what's going on with any remaining additions 80 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: for the team. Now. He went on to say here 81 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: and again pretty much what he has said to the 82 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: media as of late. Right now, we're still pursuing a 83 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: right handed bat. We're hopeful that we'll be able to 84 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,119 Speaker 1: accomplish that. Obviously, we haven't lined up on anything yet, 85 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: but will continue to be as aggressive as we can. 86 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: He also touched let's get to the bullpen comments here, 87 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: he said, we have a number of guys who have 88 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: pitched at the back end of games, Hendrix and Chapman. 89 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: Of course, Slayton is a guy that I think deserves 90 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: some consideration. Whitlock is someone who I think can be 91 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: deployed as a real weapon in his ability to throw 92 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: multiple innings. And we also had Alex Cora touching on 93 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: some things as well. Pretty much the same subject matters right, 94 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: both with the bats, you know are adding a right 95 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: handed bat and the bullpen as well. He said here 96 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: when it comes to any remaining additions, I think we 97 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: have done a good job presenting our program and taking 98 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: a step forward. After that, it takes two to tango right. 99 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens in the upcoming days and the 100 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: upcoming weeks. I think we've been very aggressive in certain situations. 101 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: I won't be surprised if we add something else now. 102 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,239 Speaker 1: I think that says a lot right there, that last 103 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: line saying I won't be surprised if we add something 104 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: else that's a different tune than you know, what we 105 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: were hearing last spring. So and we'll dive into Aeronato Bregman. 106 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: But I do think I'll just say right now, I 107 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: think one of the those guys are going to be 108 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: coming a board. I don't know who. But I'm also 109 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: pretty confident that with all this talk of adding a 110 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 1: right handed bat from Breslo, from Kora, you know, all 111 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: these people out there, I mean, at some point, you 112 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: just think it has to happen, right, they keep mentioning it. 113 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: You know, I think it happens at some point now 114 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: when it comes to some of the prospects, right, they 115 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 1: talked about that, touching on that here. You know, Alex 116 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: Corr really said the same thing to me, And honestly, 117 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: you know, I'm talking about how you know Cora, Breslo 118 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: or especially Korra, you know, talking to the media today 119 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: and a lot of the things that he said today 120 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: he said to me in the interview that we did 121 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: a little while back. So not really a whole lot different, 122 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: But you know, I thought it was funny that he 123 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: said this about guys like Roman Anthony and Christian Campbell, 124 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: because I feel like he said the same exact line 125 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: to me. When asked about, you know, some of the 126 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: young guys coming up and contributing. He said, like I 127 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: told him last year, there's there's no age limit to 128 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: make the big leagues. Alex Corus theme for this coming year. 129 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: This year is about working and getting better. If we 130 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: do that over one hundred and sixty two games, things 131 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: will take care of themselves and we'll be dancing in October. 132 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: So you know, I would say, pretty uh, pretty modest 133 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: comments today. Nothing crazy, nothing juicy by any means. I 134 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: think the biggest one from Korra was that he wouldn't 135 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: be surprised about adding another player, and he also did 136 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: make some comments. I'll actually maybe take that take that 137 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: a step back a little bit. He did mention Raffi 138 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: Devers at one point, and I actually think this was 139 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: pretty interesting. This is going to tie in to Nolan 140 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: Ernato a little bit. He did mention that Raffi is 141 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: the third baseman right now. You know, he said he's 142 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: been talking with him pretty much all off season, right 143 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 1: you know, he's been getting himself into some good shape 144 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: this offseason. One of the big things that they want 145 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: out of him this year is really just to stay healthy. Well, yeah, 146 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: obviously you want that back for the entire season. You 147 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: don't want that guy going down. But I do think 148 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: the comment that he made about Raffi playing third base 149 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: or being the third baseman right now, I think those 150 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: two words were very big, So I don't know that 151 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: said a lot to me. I think that really, you know, 152 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: when you tie that into what he said about you know, 153 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: he wouldn't be surprised if they add someone else, kind 154 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: of makes me think there could be some traction heading 155 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: towards that way. And honestly, you know, you know, he 156 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: said he's been talking with Raffi as well. I mean, 157 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: I don't confirm this by any means. I'm just speculating. Really, 158 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: I honestly think Kora has had some kind of a 159 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: conversation with Raffi at some point, because you gotta think here, right, 160 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: Raffi is a human being at the end of the day. 161 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: It's not like he's not going on Instagram, Twitter. I mean, 162 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: come on, Raffi has clearly seen the rumors about someone 163 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: like Nolan Arnado coming to the Red Sox. It's very clear. 164 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: I would think he has seen these rumors at some point, 165 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: So you gotta think, you know, Corus probably talked with him. 166 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: I don't know who knows, Maybe he hasn't, but I 167 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: would imagine there has been at least some kind of 168 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: a conversation if I were to take a guess, right, 169 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: if they're still pursuing Aeronado here, right, we'll dive more 170 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: into this th in just a second, but you would 171 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: imagine if RAFFI were to give up third base for 172 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: anyone out there, it's probably Nolan Aernado, a possible future 173 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame third baseman, one of the best defensive 174 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: third basemen of all time. I mean, if you're giving 175 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: up third base, that's who you give it up for, 176 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: right there, right, So I would imagine, I don't know, 177 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: I can't confirm it, but I would think there has 178 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: at least been some kind of talk as of late 179 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: between those two regarding third base. But again, the two 180 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: key words that he said, he's the third baseman right now, 181 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: So we'll see, now's you know, let's dive in here. 182 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: Let's talky about Alex Bregman, Sorry about Alex Bregman here. 183 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: Jeff Passen came out with an article today he gave 184 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: us some golden little tidbits, and you know, he kind 185 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: of touched on all the teams. I'll touch on all 186 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: the teams here as well. Now, he started off with 187 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: the Red Sox right saying, Alex Bregman has backers, Red 188 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: Sox manager Alex Korra wants Bregman badly, and the Red 189 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: Sox guaranteeing only fifty two million dollars to free agents 190 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 1: this winter has done little to reinvigorate a fan base 191 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: still smarting from half a decade of relative penny pinching. Now, yeah, 192 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: no surprise, right, no surprise. I mean, this is nothing new. 193 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: I feel like we've been banging this drum for it 194 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: feels like eight months, eight years even at this point, 195 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: that's how long it feels. There's no need to really 196 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: go into the fit of Bregman. Most likely he slides 197 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: into second base because he has that versatility. I've seen 198 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: some people out there talk about how Aeronauto could even be, 199 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: you know, a second baseman. No, no, I'm gonna I'm 200 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: gonna put that to bed right now, because I'm already 201 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: starting to see some people out there, like I've seen 202 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: a couple of tweets I've seen, you know, other people 203 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: talk about it. Absolutely not Aeronauto will not be a 204 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: second baseman. I'm gonna say that right now. Absolutely not 205 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: just putting that to bed early here, but Alex Bregman, Yeah, 206 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: second base, and yeah he would be perfect. You know 207 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: I've talked about it. There's no need to say anymore. Right, 208 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: good at Fenway Park, bat fits well there, you know, 209 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: say what you will. You know, maybe the bat's regressing 210 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: a little bit, but Femway Park he'd be perfect. I also, 211 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: I will touch on this with Bregman. I would love 212 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: what he would bring to the clubhouse. Right. You got 213 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: to think with Bregman, this guy has been a winner 214 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: right ever since you know, he started playing the game 215 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: of baseball, right went to LSU, big college program there. 216 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: You know, one of the things about his number, right 217 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: number two is, you know a lot of the reasoning 218 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: behind picking that was because he liked Derek Jeter. But 219 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: another reason for that is he was not picked number 220 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: one in the draft. He was picked second overall. So 221 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: it's a guy that has a chip on his shoulder 222 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: kind of in a way. I've talked about this before too, 223 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: has a bit of a Perdroy a feel to him, 224 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: all right, has that vibe about him, A guy that's confident, 225 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: he likes to compete. You know, this is a guy 226 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: that wants to win. And that's what I would love 227 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: about bringing him into the fold. You know. Sure, I 228 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: can see the argument about not going the long term 229 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: deal because you don't want to get stuck into a 230 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: contract when he's in his late thirties. I get that. 231 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: I would love to see the Red Sox pony up 232 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: a good offer, you know, if it was like a 233 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: you know, four year deal with some opt outs in there. 234 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: But you know, when it comes to the Red Sox, 235 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: I just don't know if they're going to go that 236 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: extra mile when it comes to spending, especially when you 237 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: have a guy like Aaronato sitting there and he's gonna 238 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: be three years on his contract, less money. You know, 239 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: he's still gonna give you. He's gonna give you elite 240 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: defense at third base. I'm sure he'll give you at 241 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: least something with the bad especially at Famway Park. So 242 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: that's why I just wonder how far the Red Sox 243 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: are willing to go there. The Red Sox are at 244 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: this point where they're very disciplined and they are trying 245 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: their darnedest to not get locked up into a long 246 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: term deal, right you had you know Craig come into 247 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: the fold after you know him, sign Trevor Story, signed 248 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: Massataka Yoshida. You know guys that were and I have 249 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: not really lived up to their contracts as of yet. 250 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: So I almost feel like the Red Sox right now, 251 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: they're just trying not to get themselves into another sixuation 252 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: of a contract like that. So I think they'd be 253 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: willing to go four years, but I have a hard 254 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: time imagining that they're gonna go past that. You know, 255 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: the other name or the other teams that have been 256 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: in the in the mix for Bregman, The Detroit Tigers. Yeah, 257 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: I think the Tigers make a lot of sense. I 258 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: don't think Kamerica would be as good of a park 259 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: for him as say Famway Park or in Houston, but 260 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: I think he brings a lot to the table there. 261 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: Obviously the connection with his old manager. You have an 262 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: opening at third base, you can give J. C. Young 263 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: some more development time, or maybe move him to another 264 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: position if something opens up, or maybe you can trade him, 265 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. I think Bregman brings a lot 266 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: to a young team here in Detroit. Again, I don't 267 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: like the ballpark fit as much as a hitter friendly 268 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: park like Fenway, but I do see the benefits there. 269 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,479 Speaker 1: The Blue Jays have popped up. Supposedly, according to Hector Gomez, 270 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: they got a six year offer on the table. I 271 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: just think if they have a six year offer on 272 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: the table, he would have gone there already personally, So 273 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take that at face value. Really, we 274 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: got the Chicago Cubs who have been in the mix 275 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: as of late. Now. The interesting thing with the Cubs 276 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: and a funny thing you want to talk about park factor, 277 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: you know, Camerica. I don't like the ballpark as much 278 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: as say Famway Park or or Minute Made, but Chicago. 279 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: You know, actually, for right handed hitters, you saw East 280 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: sac Paratus go to the Cubs last year, and you know, 281 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: he wasn't really a great fit there, and then they 282 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: ended up moving him obviously to Houston where he was 283 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: a better fit. Right Handed hitters over the last few 284 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: years have not fared very well in Chicago, you know. 285 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: So there is a bit of an argument there. But 286 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: either way, I still think Bregman's a solid bad to 287 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: add to your order. And another thing with the Chicago 288 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: Cubs is the payroll. There was a report earlier this 289 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: offseason that they're being pretty tight on the pay They 290 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: don't want to ownership does not want to go over 291 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: the CBT. They want to stay under it. If you're 292 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: bringing Bregman, and supposedly they have a four year deal 293 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: on the table north of one hundred million dollars with 294 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: opt outs involved. And the report also of that is 295 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: that they're trying to get creative with the deal. And 296 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: if you take a look at the Cubs payroll right now, 297 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: they're right around thirty million dollars under the first luxury 298 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: tax threshold. So that can make sense when you see 299 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: the report that they're trying to get creative. Could they 300 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: possibly be trying to front load the deal to and 301 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: maybe the other years that he gets a lower AAV to, 302 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, or a lower salary to try and reduce 303 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: the AAV. I think something like that's possible, But I 304 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: do wonder about that when it comes to their payroll, 305 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: because if you bring in Bragman on a higher AAV, say, 306 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: you know, thirty thirty two million, you're running very tight 307 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: at that point. And something reportedly ownership does not want 308 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: to do. Now, you could bring him in, maybe move 309 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: Nico Horner in a separate trade. He's should be ready for, 310 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: you know, closer to the beginning of the year. But 311 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: will a team want to take him on in a 312 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: trade at that point? You know that, you know, that's 313 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 1: something to think about. So I think with the Cubs, 314 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: I do see a good fit there. I just wonder 315 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: logistically if it's going to be able to work out. 316 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 1: So we'll have to wait and see on that. If 317 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna ask me right now, you know, I think 318 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: out of these four teams that we just mentioned, I 319 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: wonder if the Tigers step up on a short term deal. 320 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: You know, there was there was a report a while 321 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: back that there was a gap in his value from 322 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: what they perceived. But I wonder if they end up 323 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: just coming, you know, to the table and they say, 324 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: all right, let's do this, let's increase this offer a 325 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: little bit, let's get a deal done. We want you 326 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: here in Detroit. I could maybe see them doing that, 327 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: But you know what, at the end of the day, everyone, 328 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I am still not 329 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: going to count out Bregman. Going back to the Astros. 330 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: I'm not going to count it out until it's until 331 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: he goes elsewhere. You know, they've already said that they would, 332 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: you know, Jose Al Tuove would move out to left 333 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: field if that's what it took. They want this guy 334 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: back in the fold. I would not be surprised if 335 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: he took like that Pete Alonzo deal that he did 336 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: with the Mets, a two year deal with an option 337 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: where basically Alonso's going to basically go out to the 338 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: market again next offseason. I wouldn't be surprised about that personally. 339 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: Not counting out Houston, I won't count out the Red 340 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: Sox because again, the park is a great fit for him, 341 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: has the core connection. If he is willing to do 342 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: the long or the short term deal, if he is 343 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: willing to go four years, I won't count the Red 344 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: Sox out. Sam Kenned, he has said that they will 345 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: go over the CBT if that's what it takes. But 346 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: if they, I don't know. I just have a hard 347 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: time seeing them going crazy with the money. We'll see, 348 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: I won't I won't count of the Red Sox, you know. Really, 349 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: just to sum up my answer, I think it's anyone's 350 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: guess with where he goes right now, I think there's 351 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: a strong argument for the Red Sox, Tigers, Cubs, Astros. 352 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: I don't know about the Blue Jays at this point. 353 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,719 Speaker 1: I really do think, you know, I just I think 354 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 1: it comes down to how much this guy ends up 355 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: getting right, you know, get I'm sure he'll get opt 356 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: outs wherever he goes. But that's kind of where I'm at, 357 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: you know. And moving on to Aeronato here, Jeff Passing 358 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: in his article, he said, uh, that was the next 359 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 1: part in the article after bregmant. Now he says, here, 360 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: with the Yankees and Dodgers seen as long shots to 361 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: make a move for Aeronato, the Red Sox remain the 362 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: landing spot that makes the most sense. Though Aeronauto uses 363 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: no trade clause to block a deal to Houston this winter, 364 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: he would waive it to end up in Boston, according 365 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: to sources. I remember we talked about that. I was 366 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: the first one to report that. I know that's not 367 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: that big of a deal, but I'm just gonna point 368 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: that out. I was the first one to say that 369 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: out loud, just saying. But he goes on to say 370 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: the Red Sox have yet to bite, not only because 371 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: of the consequences of such a move Devers shifting to 372 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: a near full time designated hitter role, but because the 373 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: Cardinals have not budged enough on the money they're willing 374 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: to send with the remaining three years and sixty four 375 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: million dollars on Aeronautus contract. Now, I've seen this situation 376 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: before when it comes to guys, you know, and their 377 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: contracts and money. You see these reports where you know, teams, no, 378 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: we don't want to we don't want to pay that much, right, 379 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: and you know the other team, no, we want you 380 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: to pay a little bit more, right. I feel like 381 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: that more often than not. I could be wrong. I 382 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: feel like that tends to work itself. That always gets 383 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: worked out. So kind of where I'm at here, you know, 384 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: seeing the Bregmann stuff kind of, you know. I've also 385 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: been told that I'm basically paraphrasing this, but how was 386 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: this worded to me? I was told that, Uh, it's 387 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: it's pretty up in the air at this point. Right 388 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: at the little birdie that I spoke to said when 389 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: he asked someone there in the in the Boris camp, 390 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, hey, what's the deal looking like? Or one's 391 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: a deal going to get done. He basically the guy 392 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: He got an answer basically saying, you know, it's it's 393 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: anyone's guess at this point, who knows, you know? So 394 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: I feel like that feels just I don't know what's 395 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: going on with Bregman. All right, but you got a thing. 396 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: From the Red Sox point of view. You know, you 397 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: did this whole Montgomery dance last offseason. Do they really 398 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: want to do this again? You want someone to come 399 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: into camp, one of these guys when spring training is 400 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: a fully underway, right when the full squad workouts are underway, 401 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: you want one of these guys in camp. And I 402 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: don't know, man, I just think the Red Sox personally, 403 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: if I were to guess, I think they probably see 404 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: Aeronato as a guy that can give them some pretty 405 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: decent production with the bat over the next couple of 406 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: years and at minimum they're gonna get a great glove. 407 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: I think they see a guy. And that was another 408 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: thing Breslos said today. That was another thing that that 409 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: actually caught my attention a little bit. One little word 410 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: that he said. He said, a player they want to 411 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: bring in, a they don't want to bring in a 412 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: guy just to bring in a guy. They want to 413 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: bring in a guy that is going to give them wins. 414 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: Pay attention to that. When it comes to wins above replacement, 415 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: it's not just the bat, it's the defense too. If 416 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: Eronado came to Boston stunk up the joint with the bat, 417 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: yet again, you do know he's gonna give you some 418 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: good defense. And this year when his Fangraft wins above 419 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: replacement was at a three, and that was with a 420 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: down year with the bat, he was still a three 421 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: win player with his glove. He is going to help 422 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: your team. Whether you think this guy is sixty five 423 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: years old, whatever you can say, he is still going 424 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 1: to help your team with the glove in an area 425 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: where they sorely need to improve. I'm just gonna point 426 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: that out. So that was one thing that caught my 427 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: attention with Craig today, was there. They want to add it. 428 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,239 Speaker 1: They want to bring in a guy that's gonna help 429 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: them get wins. Ernado, with or without the bat, is 430 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: going to help you there. Now, I honestly think Ernado, 431 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 1: I just think this is probably gonna happen. I don't know, 432 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: I'm kind of reading the tea leaves nothing's happening with Bregman, 433 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: full squad workouts coming up. You're even you know, you're 434 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: seeing accounts out there like Cardinals Live. You know, he's 435 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: putting stuff out there. You know, I forget the wording 436 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: on what he said, but uh, you know, he basically said, 437 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: you know, stuff is happening, A deal could already be 438 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: agreed upon, you know, whatever it may be. If you're 439 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: seeing stuff out there on Twitter Land, in Red Sox 440 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: Twitter Land, people are saying stuff. It's seems like there's 441 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: noise picking up, and with the lack of noise on 442 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: the Bregman front kind of just makes me think here 443 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: and we also got the report I believe from John 444 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: Denton of MLB dot com saying that guys like Blaze 445 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: Jordan and Nan Zanatello have come up in a possible deal. 446 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: You're seeing more right now on Aeronado, and with the 447 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: timing of the full squad workouts coming up, of the 448 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: full squad reporting kind of makes me think they just 449 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: get something done with Aeronado unless something happens with Bregman. 450 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, man. You know, I've also seen people 451 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: talk about the possibility that maybe you could add something 452 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: along with Aeronauto. Remember, you know, go back, what was 453 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: it like a month ago? We were seeing kind of 454 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: these weird reports out there from some random accounts that 455 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: guys like Tristan Cassas were brought up Yvonne Herrera with 456 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. I'm gonna say this, I don't know anything, 457 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: but I almost wonder if the Red Sox they see 458 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 1: an opportunity where if they can't figure out the money, 459 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: maybe they end up taking on more money from the 460 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: Cardinal or from Aeronado's contract, so that way they can 461 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: get some high value players in along with Aeronado to 462 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: make up the difference of his underwater contract. So maybe 463 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: they can meet in the middle. Maybe, you know, if 464 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: they can't get the Cardinals to pay as much as 465 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: they want, maybe they can entice the Cardinals like, all right, fine, 466 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: if you don't want to pay this much of his contract, 467 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: well how about you give us this player along with Aeronado. 468 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: We'll even throw in another prospector to, you know, maybe 469 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: a mid range prospect, you know, to maybe sweeten the 470 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: pot a little bit for you. But you're gonna have 471 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: to give us this guy too, maybe someone like Avon Herrera. 472 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: Right when you take a look at the Red Sox 473 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: catching situation in the organization. I know you got Garcia 474 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: down there, but he's pretty far away. You know, he's 475 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: not really a guy right now that you know that 476 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: you're counting on to come up anytime soon. If you're 477 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: looking for major League ready, possible high upside catching within 478 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: the organization, I wonder if someone like von Herrera could 479 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: be in a deal when the catchers or when the 480 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: Cardinals have a bunch of catchers in their organization. I'm 481 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: not saying that as I'm not reporting that. I'm not 482 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm speculating on that, or you know, maybe even you know, 483 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: maybe some higher level prospects within their system. You know, 484 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: if the Cardinals' goal is to get rid of the 485 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: Aeronauto contract, then maybe that's an avenue they can take 486 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: maybe Ryan Helsley, you know, off the Red Sox. If 487 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: they do want to add one more guy to the bullpen, 488 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: Ryan Helsley maybe could be an option. I don't know, 489 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: I have a feeling the Cardinals would like to move 490 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: him in a separate deal, especially with what teams have been, 491 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, paying up for relievers. Go to the Tanner 492 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: Scott deal with the Padres this pass trade deadline. I 493 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,719 Speaker 1: would imagine the Cardinals would like to hang on to him, 494 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, and try and get a separate package from 495 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: another team. But could that be an avenue maybe? You know, 496 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: I kind of wonder if maybe someone like von Herrera, 497 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: you know, bringing him up one more time would be 498 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 1: a possible, would be more of a possibility there, because 499 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: they have so many catchers in their organization, you know, 500 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: just the thought, just the thought, could it just be 501 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: Aeronatto coming if it does happen, Yeah, I think that 502 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: could happen. But maybe we could also see a bunch 503 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: of other players get in the mix too. We'll see, 504 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: we'll see. Also, just want to touch on this here 505 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: when it came to the bullpen, right, They talked about 506 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: the bullpen a little bit today. They're basically gonna be 507 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: having a good old competition for this spring. I love it. 508 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: I love me a good competition for a position, good 509 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: old position battle. Uh And speaking of ken Lee Jansen 510 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: going to the Angels, how about that? How about that? But? Uh, Brady, 511 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: what's going on? What did just tweet? Hold on a second, 512 00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta see the news. What did Carabis tweet? Oh? 513 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: I got I got another Oh, I got another little 514 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: I can't say this out loud. Oh man, I'll just 515 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: say this, just from what I saw just a second ago, 516 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: maybe that Havan Herrera thing could be uh could actually 517 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: maybe be a little something something. I'm just I'm just 518 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: say that, just say that. I can't say it out loud. 519 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: I just I'll put that out there. What did Jared 520 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: say here? What did Jared say? Brady? Ah? What did 521 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: he say? What do we got? What do we got? Um? 522 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: Are you talking about the the streets have had a 523 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: lot to say today? I think that's the too. I mean, 524 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Like there's noise, you know when 525 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: you think, well, what Section ten? What did Section ten say? 526 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: Hold on, let's take a look see here. If you're 527 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: listening to this with me via podcast, we are live 528 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: here on YouTube, so we're checking everything. Who tweeted what? 529 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: I don't see anything on here. I don't see any 530 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: Jared tweets. I don't see any section ten tweets. The 531 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: last one was the streets have had a lot to say. 532 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: I think that's what you mean. Oh, it was a 533 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: reply he oh, he said his guess is something that 534 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: goes down next week. I wouldn't be surprised if something 535 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: happens by the weekend. I get. I don't know what 536 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: it is. I get this impression that the Red Sox 537 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: just want to be ready to go. I just have 538 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: that feeling, you know. I think they're just ready to 539 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: get going. I think they just want to have their 540 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: rosters set and they just want to move. That's the 541 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: impression that I get personally. They're to get to work, 542 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: you know, Alex Corras saying the theme for this year. 543 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: They want to get to work, they want to get better. Right, 544 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see. But I think the Red Sox, 545 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: you know, they have in obvious intentions of competing this year. 546 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: I don't think they want to do this whole Jordan 547 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: Montgomery thing again. You know, they got to They got 548 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: the rest of this week to figure it out. I 549 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if we had something by the end 550 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: of the week or early next week at the minimum. 551 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: We'll see. But getting here to the closer competition, all right, 552 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: Kenley Jansen, like I said, going to the Angels, so 553 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: there is now a good old position battle, right, Breslo said, 554 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: here we have a number of guys who have pitched 555 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: at the back end of games Hendrix and Chapman. Of course, 556 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: Slayton is a guy that I think deserves some consideration. 557 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: Winlock is someone who I think could be deployed as 558 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: a real weapon in his ability to throw multiple innings. 559 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: And then Alex Corus said he believes in having a 560 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: guy in that role at the back end of the bullpen. 561 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: We'll see health comes into play. The good thing is 562 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: we haven't promised any of these guys a role. We 563 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: haven't told Liam Org Chapman that they've got the ninth. 564 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: They know that. I'm a big believer in that as well. 565 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: To me and Papa bon has talked about this too. 566 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in having roles in the bullpen 567 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: when guys know their job, like Bill Belichick liked to do, 568 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: when you knew what you had, what you knew your 569 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: assignment every single night, maybe something a little different here 570 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: and there. I think that's always better for the bullpen. 571 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: I like hat. Don't even remind me of the two 572 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: thousand and three closer by committee. I never want to 573 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: do that again. That was a nightmare that will always 574 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: haunt me. If we actually had a closer in two 575 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: thousand and three. You're probably going to the World Series 576 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: that year against the mind the Florida Marlins at the time. 577 00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, they went with a bull bank by committee. 578 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: Will always haunt me. To me, you gotta have a 579 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: guy for the ninth I've always been a believer in that. 580 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: If you're asking me who the guy is going to 581 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: be on opening Day, if you were to ask me 582 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: right now, I'm gonna go with Liam Hendricks. I think 583 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,959 Speaker 1: this is a guy obviously, he's you know, he's had 584 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: quite the ride off the field. He's overcome a lot, 585 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: an absolute warrior off the field, beating cancer an amazing story. 586 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: This is a guy that's been busting his butt over 587 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: the last couple of years here. I think they're gonna 588 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: give him every chance to win that job. I think 589 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: that is the way they would like to go. But 590 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: you never know how the cookie crumbles at the end 591 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: of the day. But I think they're gonna give him 592 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: every shot possible. I don't think. I don't know. I 593 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: just have this thing that Chapman is not going to 594 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: be that guy. I see Chapman as a dude that's 595 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: gonna be a shut down lefty, you know, in the 596 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: seventh and eighth innings. That's the way I see it. 597 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: And then he you know, gets some save opportunities here 598 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: and there, depending on the matchups. But Chatman, to me, 599 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: that guy just scares the crap out of me. I'm 600 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: cool with him being a set up guy in you know, 601 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: in those situations where you got left, he's coming up. 602 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,280 Speaker 1: I like that. Slayton, I think is a dark horse. 603 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that absolutely can step up 604 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,439 Speaker 1: and you know, take the job. We'll see. I think 605 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: they in my opinion, I think you could see him 606 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 1: as the next man up and then uh, you know, 607 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes, you know, or you know, 608 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: I keep vouching and I'll still say it. I think 609 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: David Robertson would be a great ad. You know, Will 610 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: they bring him in, I don't know, but I think 611 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: he would be a really valuable guy to have, a 612 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: guy that has closing experience. He can be in a 613 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: setup role, he can do whatever in the back end 614 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: of the bullpen. I would still like to add him. 615 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: He just again, I like that flexibility that he provides. 616 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: We'll see what the way they end up going. Again, 617 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: if you're asking me right now, which way. I think 618 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna lean. I think they're gonna go Hendricks. You've 619 00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: got to see how Spring plays out. But if you 620 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: just fine and at least fine in Spring, I think 621 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 1: he'll get the job. We'll see at the end of 622 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: the day. But I think this is the right way 623 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: to go. I don't think you give any roles to 624 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: anyone right now. I think you know it's up in 625 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: the air. I think you just got to earn it. 626 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: I don't think Whitlock is a guy that you throw 627 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: into that role. Whitlock. I think you put him back 628 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: into that twenty twenty run or twenty twenty one role 629 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,720 Speaker 1: that he had, stick him in that same exact spot, 630 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: that guy dominated in that role. I wish they never 631 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: took him out. I get the argument. I know you 632 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: want to, you know, try and maximize these guys' values. 633 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: I get it. It was fine to try it. I 634 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: was okay with him trying to be a starter. But 635 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: then when you start having the injuries, and I was 636 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 1: even okay with maybe even trying it one more time 637 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,399 Speaker 1: after that, because again you kind of you're increasing the workload, 638 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: you know, trying to manage that. So maybe they thought, okay, 639 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: let's try it one more time and let's see how 640 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: he responds. And then he just kept getting injured. Right, 641 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: But even when he was starting, it was still kind 642 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: of just hit or miss with him, right. He was 643 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: pretty inconsistent as a starter, So I was okay with 644 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: trying it in the beginning. But to me, he was 645 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: so good in that role out of the bullpen. The 646 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: guy was lights out. That's the way I feel like 647 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: you should have always stuck with it, you know. He 648 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: reminded me of papal Bond. Remember papal Bond. They were 649 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: trying to bring him in, you know, as a starter 650 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: at first, and this was a guy that said, nah, 651 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 1: I need to be a closer, Like I need to 652 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: be in that role, like he wanted that role. The 653 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: Red Sox did not want that role for him in 654 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: the beginning because they saw a guy that could you know, 655 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: maximize his value as a starter because he had great stuff. 656 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: But Papabon made the right choice at the end of 657 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: the day. That's how I saw Whitlock. So, you know, 658 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 1: could he maybe get into the mix at one point, 659 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think use Whitlock as that weapon, 660 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: all right, kind of almost like Andrew Miller. Right, you know, 661 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: look what Andrew Miller did you know for those teams 662 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: you know in the mid twenty tens, late twenty tens, Right, 663 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 1: A guy that you can kind of bring it in 664 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: any situation. That's how I see Whitlock. He could come 665 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: in and relate, you know, middle relief set up close 666 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 1: some games. That's the way I want to see Whitlock 667 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: being used. But that is just me at the end 668 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: of the day. But everyone, that's all I got here 669 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: for tonight.
