WEBVTT - Whats Next for Red Sox Trade Deadline? Ft. Chris Cotillo

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to about a territory, Ladies and gentlemen. A friendly

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>friend of the show is back on the show, Chris Catillo.

0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>How you doing, my friend?

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I friendly. I've never been called in on Twitter before,

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 2>so I'm glad in the podcast YouTube Red Sox Space,

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>I get that Moniker at least listen.

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>I see a lot of the haters on Twitter, and

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>you're always so respectful when you I believe you had

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>just put something. I think someone was very angry about

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 1>the report they were about to go over, but you

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>handled it in a very respectful manner. I thought it

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>was very friendly, to be honest.

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 2>So here we are here too in form and remind

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.840
<v Speaker 2>that it's just baseball. It's not the end of the world.

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.919
<v Speaker 2>It is what it is, and you know, you keep

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 2>it moving.

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes you just got to take a breath.

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>You gotta take a breath sometimes. But I understand this.

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 1>We got we just got some frustrating news across the desk.

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I was going to start this off asking you, uh,

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>if you were ready to break the Bobby Wick junior trade.

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately we can't talk about that right now. I'm kidding. No,

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>obviously that's not happening. Everybody, but unfortunately breaking news. Curtis Mead.

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.639
<v Speaker 1>It is second ab last night for the Red Sox

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>getting hit on the hand wrist area. Initial the initial

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>report it was a contusion and X rays came back negative.

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>But they did further testing here today and according to

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Tommy Castle, wuso's reporter and mass Lives own Christopher Smith

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and yourself confirming that it is a broken wrist. I'll

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>simply ask, I mean, obviously this is very frustrating to see,

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>but what is your initial reaction to this?

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I texted somebody asking is there a fracture in there?

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 2>And they thumbs up the text. So that's all I

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>know as of seven o eight pm. As we record

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 2>this in real time, you know, the Red Sox will

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 2>most likely make an announcement and a lot of times

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 2>you can get the details out of the injury designation

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 2>which will be in there. Seems like Nick so guards

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 2>on the way to Sacramento, join them and chat. Tracy

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>will be talking, you know, twenty minutes after record this,

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>and he'll give as many details as you can. I

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 2>think the clubhouse is open, and Sacramento it's tiny, so

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>it's not that open. But I think Mead will be

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>talking here soon. We have Chris Smith out there, so

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 2>it is developing very much. But you know, a huge blow,

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, anytime there's a broken bone, you know, I

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 2>think it would be premature for us to speculate it

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 2>could be the rest of the season, but there are

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>only two months left in this season, so you're looking

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 2>at you know, him out for at least a few

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>weeks and potentially longer. And this is a guy that

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 2>obviously they had very high hopes for and for this

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 2>to happen to wit bats into his Red Sox tenure

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>is brutal. I saw somebody on ex Twitter or whatever

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>hell hole pointed out that they at least it's not

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>a rental and that this guy is going to be

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>in a Red Sox uniform for four more years after this,

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 2>So I guess that's the silver lining. It's not like

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>you get a guy for two months and this happened,

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 2>but they anticipate him being a big piece, if there

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 2>is a positive way to look at it, because you

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 2>know me, Robbie, that's it. They have basically, you know,

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.919
<v Speaker 2>they have a cast of characters that have proven relatively

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 2>capable at in the middle infield, over the last few weeks, right,

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Siegler is a guy people like, so Guard

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>had some good at bats his first stint up before

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 2>he got hurt. They've had the Monasterios and Chang's and

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.799
<v Speaker 2>Ikfs and the Meyers of the world be up here

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>throughout the year, and you know, all of them, basically

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>except Meyer, have given you something offensively at a different time.

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 2>So they are in terms of depth options. They have

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 2>that because they had it, you know, when they traded

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 2>for meat as an upgrade. But still when you, you know,

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 2>put what you did on the table to send Connolly

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 2>early to Washington and get this guy, it's a huge loss.

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>And we'll figure out over the next hours or days

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 2>you know exactly how long he's going to be out.

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be really interesting to see you. I

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>can't I can't think of a time like this, honestly,

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>going back all the year, watching all these deadlines. You

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>make a move and then two AB's in. I'm sure

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>there is a couple that I'm just not even remembering.

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>But it's pretty crazy to see this. But I got

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to ask you, if you were to envision what could

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>be going on in that Red Sox front office right now.

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Obviously there's probably huge disappointment across the board, But what

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 1>sense are you getting Obviously, like you said, it's just developing,

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>But are you getting the feeling that Craig it could

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>get a bit more aggressive here, try to turn up

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the noise a little bit with phone calls out there,

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 1>or do you get the feeling he stays the course,

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 1>doesn't overreact and you know, just keeps doing what he's doing.

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you think about this from a logical perspective,

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:46.679
<v Speaker 2>it's like trading Connolly early makes it way less likely

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>or way less palatable that they would move a Tolly

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>or a Bennett or an ions in or you know,

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 2>some of these other young pitchers that they have. Right

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the fact that Curtis Mead got hurt to a bat

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>ten doesn't change that. And so if you have the

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Angels with Zach Netto saying unless you give us totally

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 2>your Bennett, this is total speculation, but probably not far

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 2>off from what it actually is. If you don't give

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 2>us totally your Bennett, then you're not getting this guy.

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Because Curtis meets hurt, They're not going to just be

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.840
<v Speaker 2>like okay and give up two of those now three

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>guys after Early's been traded. I mean, they don't get

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Early back now that meat's been hurt, and so that's

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>a big chip. I think everybody looked at that young

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 2>starting pitching depth as an area they could obviously deal

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 2>from with the three of them and more on the

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 2>way they kind of you know, that bullets left the

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 2>chamber for lack of a better term, and so I

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>think it would be wrong, you know, to be to say,

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 2>all right, well, basically we don't have collin Early anymore.

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>But back to the drawing board, let's go like restart

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 2>our deadline. And you know, I think that that is

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.039
<v Speaker 2>a question they're going to have to face. I think

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 2>it could get them more aggressive in maybe the rental market.

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 2>But you know, we'll see. I'll give you the the

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 2>updates now. Chris Smith, uh me to just talk to

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 2>the media out there. He's flying to Boston meet with

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 2>a hand specialist. Not sure if surgery is going to

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.480
<v Speaker 2>be needed. Had an MRI today that revealed the fracture

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 2>after the initial X rays were negative yesterday. So there

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 2>you go.

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Man, oh man, that's ay. Well we got you gotta

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>love it, you gotta love it. You guys do a

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>great job, but it's obviously you know, you feel for

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the guy too, right, he just turned to season around,

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 1>he gets a great opportunity coming to Boston and uh,

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>here we are unfortunately, but obviously, you know, like you said,

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe you could dip into you know, the

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>rental market a little bit more, would be a little

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.919
<v Speaker 1>bit cheaper. You know, we've gotten reports right looking at shortstops,

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 1>looking at cat Sure, where are you feeling that the

0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox could be leaning towards when it comes to

0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>making a move.

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm mean, it's a it's a great question. I mean

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 2>the billion dollar question right now. You know. I think

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 2>the areas that they're looking at or obvious for everybody.

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 2>We outline them earlier today on mass Live. The shortstop

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 2>potentially long term which is confusing, but real catching help

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 2>which is not perfect in the middle of the season,

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>but real and pitching depth, which you know, the need

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>for that increased when you move a guy like early

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.360
<v Speaker 2>and you're a little shorter in the rotation. Every contender

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 2>is looking for bullpen arms this time of year, so

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 2>that's a real thing. I just think, you know, they're

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 2>they're looking at those types of options. Any team's going

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 2>to prefer controllable over rental. Sometimes you don't have a choice.

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Last year, the two guys they got were rentals at

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>the last minute. One and Matt's worked out. The other

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 2>in May didn't. So we'll see where it goes. I

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 2>still think they're you know, looking to improve, looking to buy,

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 2>but you know it's easier said than done this time

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 2>of year.

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's uh, it's gonna be a very interesting week.

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.120
