However, the person who was 49 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: the overlord of the steroid era, that person's a Hall 50 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: of Famer, and Alex Rodriguez has opined he's got a 51 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: problem with that, and he's not keeping his mouth shut. 52 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: The Minnesota Timberwolves bit owner A rod commenting, see this, No, no, 53 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: you didn't. Okay, So former commissioner Bud Selic. You might 54 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: not even know who that is if you're of a 55 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: younger age, But this guy was the commissioner for years. 56 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: He used to own the Milwaukee Brewers. And Bud Celic 57 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame eight 58 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: years ago. He's a class of twenty seventeen. Meanwhile, Barry 59 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: Bonds is riding a bike around northern California. Roger Clemens 60 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: is transversing across the country watching his kids play baseball. 61 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: Mark McGuire, I don't know what he's up to. Sammy 62 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: Sosa has been like a chameleon, changing his appearance. And 63 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: then you got A Rod who's on TV, and Rafael 64 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: palm Merrow and all these guys who have Hall of 65 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: Fame stats not in the biggest stars of the steroid 66 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: era and the era that Bud Selick was the guardian 67 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: of the game. Oh yeah, the guardian of the game 68 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: and all that, and he was the commissioner, and these 69 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: guys are not allowed it, not allowed it. A Rod, 70 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: in a interview on a satellite radio behind a paywall said, 71 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: all of this stuff you're talking about was under bud 72 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: Selick's watch. A Rod stated, he said, and the fact 73 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: that those two guys you're talking about, Bonds and Clemens, 74 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: are not in, but somehow bud Selick is in the 75 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, That to me feels like there's a 76 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: little bit some hypocrisy around that close quote. That's gonna 77 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: be the jumping off points. So let's get into this 78 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: right now. We'll discuss the question for the esteem panel. 79 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: Alex Rodriguez calling out the hypocrisy of bud Selik being 80 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer while steroid stars like A Rod 81 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: himself and Bonds and Clemens are not in the Hall 82 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: of Fame. Are you with him on this or are 83 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: you against A Rod on this one? So I've got termites, 84 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: chicken feed, and ibuprofen, and we will combine all of 85 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: these things together and we're gonna play connect three, not 86 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: Connect four, Connect three. So first of all, a Rod, 87 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: let's just get this out of the way. A Rod 88 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: is a walking, talking contradiction. That's just who A Rod is. 89 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: He's slumlord, millionaire if you believe the tabloids built an empire, 90 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: very wealthy, and that was built on peds, not legit. Right, 91 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: Aro was a good player, very good player. 92 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: Was the. 93 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: Draft picking that Darren Dreyfert draft back in the day, 94 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: and right there at the top. And A Rod worked 95 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: out and then really worked out once he started on 96 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: the happy sauce, really worked out. So you look at 97 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: this from thirty thousand feet in the sky, and on 98 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: this one, A Rod's absolutely right He's absolutely right. He 99 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: just nailed the bud Selick right between the eyes. There 100 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: you go, right in the schnaz. Bud Selick was and 101 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: still still alive, a used car salesman who rose to 102 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: the Commissioner's office through the Peter principle. A product of 103 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: the Peter principle, which is, you reach your highest level 104 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: of incompetence and stay there forever. Look at me, I've 105 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: reached my highest level of incompetence overnight talk radio, and 106 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: I've has been here year after year because it's the 107 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: Peter principle. It's what is So Bud Sieig oversaw the 108 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: steroid era. He originally didn't want to be the commissioner, 109 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: and then he became the commissioner, and then he loved 110 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: all the attention he got because he's a car salesman, 111 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: a used car salesman. So he oversaw the steroid era. 112 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: That was his watch. He profited Baseball profited, revenues went 113 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: up because of the steroids, and then look the other 114 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: way as all of that was going down, and then 115 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: retroactively decided to punish everyone who made the money for 116 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. That's the rub, that's the inside skinny 117 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: on that Major League Baseball cashed every cartoon sized check. 118 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: Every one of them sold every ticket, massive box office, 119 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: great ratings on television. They milked the Sosa Maguire home 120 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: run race. If you're old enough to remember that, it 121 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: was a crazy time and no internet. That was the 122 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: biggest story in America. It was a couple of guys 123 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: for a baseball team, one in Chicago and one in 124 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: Saint Louis who were here and dingers, and it was 125 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: like the top story. It wasn't politics, it wasn't war. 126 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: It was that that was the top story, the home 127 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: run chase. And then eventually it became inconvenient. There were 128 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: people that were reporting about the Shenanigans going on, and 129 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: Boom goes to nine and Hite. Suddenly Major League Baseball, 130 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: led by Bud Seelik, decided they had to go to 131 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: higher ground. They decided to go to the moral high ground. 132 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: They went to the moral high ground, and suddenly Barry 133 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: Bonds was for boating. He was persona non grata. No, no, 134 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: can't have him. It was red light, green light for 135 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. This is the part that annoys me. 136 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 3: Now. 137 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: Back in the day, we used to talk about it 138 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: while this was going on was Oh, this guy's on steroids. 139 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: That guy's on steroid. That was the way the shows worked. Well, 140 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: we're doing it. And my position was, don't let any 141 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: of them in. That was my This is my wheelhouse. 142 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: I covered baseball pretty much all the time during the 143 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: steroid era, and I spent hours waiting for that jackwagon 144 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: Barry Bonds to come out of the back of the 145 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: locker room. And sometimes he did, sometimes he didn't. He 146 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: was always a schmuck when he did. But either way, 147 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: all right, So this is my wheelhouse, and I said, 148 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: don't let any of them in. And the Hall of 149 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: Fame when it comes to Bonds and Clemens and a 150 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: Rod and mcguiren, Sosen, Paul Merrill, those guys aren't in. 151 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: They got the red light, now the green light. This 152 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: is the part that blows my mind. And I've done 153 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: a one to eighty on this one. You look at 154 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: players who are on we'll call them not definitely steroid 155 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: guys on the spectrum. Oh they're on the spectrum. I 156 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: can't be suit if I say they're on the spectrum, 157 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: because you could go either way. I can't get anyway. 158 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: David Ortiz Hall of Famer, Big Poppy, Hall of Famer, 159 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: Mike Piazza, Hall of Famer, Jeff Bagwell. I'm sure that 160 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: was all natchirale for Bagwell. Back with the Astros, there's 161 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of other guys. They all got the green light. 162 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: They all got the green light. The writers said, Okay, 163 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 1: thumbs up, you're in. So you're telling me that we 164 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: can split Adams. However, we can't figure out that hypocrisy. 165 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: It's like, I remember bud Selix's defining moment and we 166 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: were actually here. I was working here, guy, I spent 167 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: a long time. Holy crap, we were here at Fox 168 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. The All Star Game was in Milwaukee in 169 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 1: two thousand and two. Holy crap. So the All Star 170 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: Games in Milwaukee, and to me, this was the defining 171 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: moment of bud Selik's career. Games tied late in the 172 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: game and the bud Selik meets with the umpires and 173 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: bud Seek literally tossed his arms in the air. I 174 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: don't know what I was supposed to do. I'm the commissioner. 175 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. I have no idea. 176 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: He tossed his arms in the air like a dad 177 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: who just realized he had left his wallet at home, 178 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: but he was at the checkout stand and he had 179 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: all his groceries. Very embarrassing, very very embarrassing. And so 180 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,719 Speaker 1: the game in and a tie, and that was the 181 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: death of the All Star Games. And all of the 182 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: All Star games are completely irrelevant now. The NFL got 183 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: rid of their Pro Bowl. They played tic tac toe 184 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: at their Pro Bowl, which was their All Star game. 185 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 1: The NBA All Star Game is god awful, that's unwatchable. 186 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: Hockey's just about the same, and baseball has been irrelevant 187 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: ever since then. And that was under Bud Ceiling. That 188 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: was that was really the tipping point that sent everything 189 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: down the path that it went all those years ago 190 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, that the game in and a time that 191 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: was back when people cared about the All Star Game. 192 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 1: It was like a big deal. And that was the 193 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: jump the shark moment for Baseball's All Star Game and 194 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: really all of American sport. And that's the commissioner that's 195 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer under his watch, It's like Bud 196 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: Ceiling built this house and it was a really nice house, right, 197 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: really nice house, and then he let like the termites 198 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: got in there and they got into the wood, the 199 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: house and all. And then he blamed the termites. He 200 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: let him in may he blamed him and a rot nethers. 201 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: Is he guilty of it? Certainly looks that that way's 202 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: pretty much admitted to to Futson around with you know 203 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 1: what and all that stuff. But on this one he's 204 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: guilty of telling the truth. He just is. All right. Now, second, 205 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: we go to Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, home of Pete and 206 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and a legendary call. We have some other guys 207 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: that listen in Pittsburgh now who are not active callers 208 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: or whatever. Anyway, Paul Skens, Yeah, that guy, Paul Skeens, 209 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: the starting pitcher, has shattered the pre arbitration record. After 210 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: winning the Cy Young Award in the National League, Skeens 211 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: received a record three point four million dollars from Major 212 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: League Baseball. This is pre arbitration. You normally don't make 213 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: the big money until after arbitration, or at least in arbitration. 214 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: This is from a bonus pool. It was highly promoted. 215 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: Look at that, we're paying Paul Skeens three point four million. 216 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: It is the high payout ever given in the history 217 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: of the program of baseball, which rewards the top early 218 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: career talent in baseball and before they hit arbitration they 219 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: can start making some big time money. The previous record 220 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: belonged to Bobby Witt Junior of the Royals, and that 221 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: was just last year when he got over just over 222 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: three million dollars. So the question what is your calculation 223 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,479 Speaker 1: on this Paul Skeens record pre arbitration deal with the Pirates. 224 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: So Skins, as we just laid out, he broke the 225 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: bank in terms of this part of baseball, and baseball 226 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: wants every man, woman and child that cares about baseball 227 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: or even doesn't to hear about this. Relatively speaking, he 228 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: broke the record. It's a nice headline. It says that 229 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: baseball is giving back to their young stars, and all 230 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: that feels kind of big, feels kind of big. That said, 231 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: do not confuse the headline or the social media post 232 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: about the cash with real cash. Now, remember this is 233 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: a cartoon world major League Baseball. Because I live in Realityville. 234 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: You've got baseball, and then you've got Realityville, and I'm 235 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: in Realityville, and baseball is in a different world in reality. 236 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: He's a three point four million is like, that's a 237 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: lot of money in the baseball world. That's chicken feed. 238 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: It is. Paul Skeens is a meal ticket. There is 239 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: no reason to watch the Pittsburgh Pirates other than that guy. 240 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: That's it. That's all, that's the list whenever. That's all 241 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: he must see TV appointment baseball. He's the closest thing 242 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: that Major League Baseball has now to a rock star pitcher. 243 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: It used to be the starting pitcher was the biggest 244 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: thing in the world, and man, was that a big deal. 245 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: You had legends like Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson back 246 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: in the day. And now you got Paul Skeens. He's 247 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: the guy. He's carrying the torch there, electric stuff, the 248 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: kind of guy who makes you stop scrolling your phone 249 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: and actually watch when he's on the mount, which is 250 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: a bold position, a bold position. And yet despite the 251 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: record path that Paul Skeen's got, he's being financially smothered 252 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: by the system. Now we're not gonna have a bake 253 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: sale or a GoFundMe for Paul Skins. If Skings were 254 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: post arbitration, forget about free agency, right if he was available, 255 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: he's a fifty million dollars a year ballplayer. Is that correct? 256 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: Is that? Yeah, you're nodding your head right. Fifty million, 257 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: that's the going rate, right, it's up. I think the 258 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: highest starting pitcher salary is Garrett Cole. Yoshinobu Yamamoto of 259 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: the Dodgers is right there as well. It's in that neighborhood. 260 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: If you do the Malor math, three point four three million, 261 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: which is the amount of money that Paul Skin's got 262 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: post arbitration. So he is being paid, used on I'm 263 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: using Mallard math here, ninety two percent below what he 264 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: would have gotten had he gone to market, been able 265 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: to go to market. So he's being paid ninety three 266 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: percent less than his talent level. And this is being 267 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: celebrated by Major League Baseball. That his true market value 268 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: he's not getting. So that's not it's not a bargain, okay, 269 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: it's it really is a heist with a smile. The 270 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: pirates are getting a Broadway show for the price of 271 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: a bus ticket in that in that business, and that's 272 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: just the way the way it is. It's basically uber 273 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: surge pricing is what it is for owners only for 274 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: owners own and eventually his skeins will get traded to 275 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: the Yankees or the Dodgers of the Red Sox or 276 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: somebody like that, and he's gonna have to wait unless 277 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: the Pirates bank to break the bad anchor he convinces 278 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: them to trade his ass. He's gonna have to wait 279 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: till twenty thirty, which sounds like a long time. But 280 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: we're almost into twenty twenty six, with just a month 281 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: and a few days away from twenty twenty six, so 282 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: it's four more years, four more years, four more years. Meanwhile, 283 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: final thought, we go to the High Speed Sports. Why 284 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: we got tried? We got it tried, Ye, don't get 285 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: too excited. The Red Sox have acquired right handed starting 286 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: pitcher Sonny Gray. Doesn't that sound like a guy that 287 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: should be retired in Florida playing playing some kind of 288 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: chess game or checkers or something at the park, Sonny Gray. 289 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: That sounds like a fake name. That's his name. He's 290 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: been around a while. So Sonny Gray and cash considerations 291 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: go to the penny poor Red Sox and the Cardinals 292 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: got right handed pitcher Dick Fits, Richard Fits and a 293 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: couple of others, well, one other pitcher and then a 294 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: player to be named later or cash Sonny Gray had 295 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: an ERA of over four last season for the red Birds, 296 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: and now he goes to the Red Sox from the 297 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: red Birds. So the question does this Red Sox trade 298 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: with the Cardinals for starters? Sonny Gray count as a 299 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: splash move, a splish and a splash. So we'll go 300 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: right to the Malor report card in this we will 301 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: not waste any time. We're not gonna waste your time. 302 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: The Mallard report card. Not a splash, splash, not a 303 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: splish splash, more like a ripple in the Charles River. 304 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: Now that's about it. That's about it. Sonny Gray is 305 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: heading to Boston. Congratulations on that. And the Cardinals even 306 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: threw in a coupon book to facilitate the trade. Reports 307 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: if accurate, twenty million dollars. The Cardinals are paying twenty 308 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: million dollars of Sonny Gray's salary to get rid of 309 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: Sonny Gray. How good could this guy be? Yeah, my 310 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: bosses wouldn't pay ten cents to get rid of me. 311 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: So twenty million dollars for Sonny Gray, that's the deal 312 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are paying. That is hedge fund level. Hedge 313 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: fund level financial engineering is what that is here, and 314 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: my God. The argument for the deal from what I've 315 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: been hearing, is that the Red Sox, if you look 316 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: at this, they get a playoff tested starting pitcher, a 317 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: savvy veteran, and without a long leash. It's essentially there's 318 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: no long term risk. It's I believe, one year left 319 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: on the contract. It's the ultimate voucher deal for the 320 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: Red Sox to get this guy. The problem is this 321 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: Sonny Gray is what we call a pedestal player, meaning 322 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: he's not a pedestal player. He's the antithesis of a 323 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: pedestal players. What I'm trying to say here, he's not 324 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: the guy you hand the ball to in a big 325 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: game in October and say, dude, you got save our season. Man, 326 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: we need you. You know, you got to go out 327 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: there and be like big Balls Bob in Vegas and 328 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: just get it done, and then I just got to 329 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: do it. We need you. He's just not and he's 330 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: the guy when he's been off the grid, he's he 331 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: played for a team that I don't know if you 332 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: remember this, you probably don't remember. There used to be 333 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: a team in Oakland that was loved by the locals 334 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: called the Athletics, and then Baseball decided they needed to 335 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: go to Sacramento, but not Sacramento proper West Sacramento before 336 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: eventually going to Vegas. So Sunny Grade, played in Oakland, 337 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: played in Minnesota, played in Saint Louis. He found success 338 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: in all those places. When he was pitching for those teams. 339 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: He painted the corners like Picasso. He did. He did 340 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: have one opportunity in the big city in the Boogie 341 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: Down Bronx, and he melted like a snow cone on 342 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: the FDR. It just did not go well. Career worst 343 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: numbers pretty much across the board for Sonny Ray with 344 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: the Yankees. The knock on him, and it seems like 345 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: a pretty big knock. The Red Sox are planning on 346 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: going deep in the playoffs and get into the World Series 347 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: and all that. The knock on Sonny Gray is that 348 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: for him, pressure situations are his kryptonite. That if you 349 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: look at his history, he's got a lot of good 350 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 1: nerd stats. The nerds like him, strikeouts to walks, all 351 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: that stuff. He's the guy you want on a Thursday 352 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: businessman's getaway game when the Red Sox are in San 353 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: Diego and there's four thousand people watching in their friends 354 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: and family, or he's in Washington or somewhere like that. However, 355 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: when the crank up the thermostat and everything gets a 356 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: little hotter, it's like you're doing hot yoga, which is 357 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: across the courtyard here hot yoga, and the streets get loud, 358 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: and he just turns into a puddle. And that's that's 359 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: the problem, right. This is middle of the rotation spam. 360 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: Sonny Gray is what it is. You've got Garrett Crochet, 361 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: who's your number one ace. You got him, Then you 362 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: got Brian Bao who's number two, and then after that 363 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: Sonny Gray likely number two or number three rather number three, 364 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: and just a modern day bulk inning guy. I said, 365 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: modern day. He didn't pish that many innings, but by 366 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: baseball standards, oh he's a quality starting pitcher. He'll give 367 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: you a five and a third innings and yeah, boy, 368 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: that's big. He'll keep you in games as long as 369 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: you're playing regular games against Tampa Bay and low pressure 370 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: situations and all that. But he just won't win for 371 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: you in October. So there you go. So Boston did 372 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: not get a stud in this trade. They bought some 373 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: pharmacy grade Ibu profen is what they got, So it's 374 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: some temporary relief. Mallow report card grade for the Red Sox. 375 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: I give them a C. I give them a sea 376 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: because this is a guy that will be fine. And 377 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: then when you need him, he's going to go to 378 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: the bathroom and vomit is what he's going to do. 379 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: Or he'll not vomit. He'll have die. Die Die is 380 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: what he's gonna have. So there you go. It is 381 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: the Ben Mahlor Show.
