WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off July 29th 2022 (Ep. 563) 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:16.799 Otani on the move. Let's play ball. Welcome in everybody 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:18.960 to fantasy pros. This is leading off, brought to you 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.599 by bet MGM, the King of sports books. It's me 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:24.440 Joey P. Joe Pi's apia with me today is the Welsh, 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.240 and of course all of you are peanuts and our 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.240 cracker jacks. In case you're looking at the calendar, it's 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.160 seven twenty nine, which means that Joey P is going 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:37.320 to turn into a baseball pumpkin on August first, because 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.920 the NFL demands are just too much of my big 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:44.360 giant bald head and the Welsh and an amazing group 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:49.800 of people, including our own Casey Bubba, our own Wonky Penguin, 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.040 and some other very exciting guests going to join Welsh 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.720 in my stead. We are not leaving you like some 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.760 other places they just abandoned you in baseball season. No, no, no, 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.280 We know our audience and we know their hardcore. The 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.320 only problem is, well, you know, my brain actually started 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.760 to melt earlier this week when I didn't even know 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.000 what show I was on. So it comes a point 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.960 in time where the old man has to start focusing 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.720 in one direction. But I am to see my peanuts 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.920 and cracker jacks go. I'm always here for them. But 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.080 I'm very happy that you are going to take over 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.720 the reins here going forward with some fantastic hooks. 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.080 Yeah, we'll be in good hands. 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:26.760 If everybody wants to hang with me, I should go 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.960 on you know that Instagram app. I don't know if 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:30.679 you ever do the reels, and it's like. 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.400 Try the bald filter. I should just do the bald filter. 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.560 On each There you go, bald in the crown the 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:36.960 way to go. 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:38.479 We're getting there, so. 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.080 You know you say that, but then like when we 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.120 hung out in March, you know, yeah, the hair and 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.080 the whole spike, but I got it good. 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.720 The full head of hair going. 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.840 I don't understand that you've got the full Are you 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.520 going bald in the back because I can't hear so 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:53.360 much than me. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.400 I can't see the kind of thin in the front side. 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:57.880 So we're almost there. 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.040 If you got it flaunted until you han't anymore, and 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.320 then when it's going, take charge of that. Sob don't 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:05.440 you always. 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:05.520 Told me that? 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:07.040 By the way, in the industry, he says, Hey, if 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:08.600 you've got it flaunted. 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:14.760 Advice hashtag if you got it flaunted. All right, it's uh, look, 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.160 I'm glad we're not starting the news today with some incredible, 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.880 depressing Mic Trout story like yesterday, because that was that 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.840 was not the way I wanted to start the show yesterday. 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:24.840 But then you know, it was the biggest news you 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.160 could possibly imagine, and so something you really had to 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.840 talk about. So instead, we're gonna talk about shoeo Toni 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:34.760 today all day long because struck out eleven. Uh. So 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.079 here you go, Angels fans, Now you have to worry 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.480 about Mike trouton never playing shoeo Tony is so good 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.760 that now all of a sudden, I wonder if the 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.600 Angels president or owner was listening to the show yesterday, 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.480 because I called for an entire top to bottom rehul 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.639 of the organization, and I think trading Otani is the 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.000 thing to do. Apparently they are really seriously listening now. Uh. 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.079 And he struck out eleven they lost to the Rangers. 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.880 I mean he's acquiring two assets to let show Heyo 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.400 Tani walk in a contract. Ear would be the dumbest 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.160 thing ever. And the more service time you give to 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:11.040 another team, the bigger the hall of prospects. I am. 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.239 You know you asked me about percentages of Sodo and 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:17.000 I said I was at ninety nine percent. He gets traded, Yeah, Otani, 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.320 I would have said, like ten a week ago. Now 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.919 I'm at a coinfoot I'm at fifty to fifty. Where 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:23.480 are you with this? 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.639 So here's what's interesting about it is essentially the talks 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.320 are like the exact same thing as Soda. They're saying 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.840 they want the top four prospects of any system or whatever. 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.760 And the only reason I think the cause what do 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:38.120 you say to your fifty percent? 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.280 I'd say, I think it's a coin flop. Right now. 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.160 I think I'm like twenty five percent, but I was 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.520 zero percent, like you know, ten days ago. The reason 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:52.080 this is interesting is you already have four to six 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:56.600 teams that have put out these huge, massive offers interested 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.120 in Sodo. Those same offers could go and apply to 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:00.960 the Angels. 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.000 So he's more impact, if you think, because you're getting 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:08.240 two players and now the National League has the d 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.800 H so you don't have to worry about that act anymore. 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.280 That was that was the bigger stumbling block to trading 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.600 Otani's because well, you know, how does that work with 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.240 a National league team. You don't have any of that nowadays. 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.120 That's all gone with the new CBA. Baby, it's a 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:25.000 new world. It's the brave new world. And Otani, I mean, 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.000 the Angels should be open for business here. If they 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:28.680 get four big prospects, they should do it. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:29.760 They're so bad. 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.240 It's they made Spencer Howard last night, who I bet against. 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.920 I lost my butt off because of Spencer. They made 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:41.280 Spencer Howard look like a cy Young Award winning It 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.080 was nuts that they couldn't get any hits. They couldn't 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.320 do anything. I mean, it would have been nice if 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.520 Otani would have gotten two total bases in a bet 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:54.160 as well. But they're atrocious in every facet of the game, 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.280 and with the trout news, with what they've built with 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.560 their system, looks like listen, I'm not four this. Like 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.839 even in Fantasy, if you guys send me a trade 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:04.240 and you're like, hey, I can get these three or 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.040 four guys, but I got to give up this great 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.799 player nine out of ten times. I'm even if you're rebuilding, 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.520 I'm gonna be like, no, I'm gonna keep the great player. 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.800 I want great I want to build around great players 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:14.680 because I think I can build around them. 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:16.760 I don't know if the Angels can do that. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.240 The Angels don't seem competent in it, so they might 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.640 be best suited to move on from Otani get as 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.640 many pieces as they possibly can, because this organization just 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.040 doesn't feel like. 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.680 They are not gonna complete next year. 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.599 They are not close. And the longer you wait on 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.919 Otani you are walking a very thin line because the 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.240 injury risk is very high because he's a pitcher. So 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:43.000 if he gets hurt in August and needs Tommy John surgery, 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.320 then you are really up the creek without a paddle. 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.320 Consider that if you're the Angels, like yeah, and you know, honestly, 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.160 if you're a fantasy owner too, from a fantasy perspective, 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.440 you have Otani right now, and you know you're in 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.640 a keeper league situation with him. I think it's fascinating 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.360 if you're not competing somehow. I don't know how you 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.200 would have Autani not be competing, but if you were 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.800 in that scenario, this would be the cash in time 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.159 for him as well, because if be going to a contender, 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.520 he can't get much better statistically speaking, I mean maybe 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.039 some more wins would be nice, but other than that like, 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.600 statistically it can't get better. But if you're a non 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.120 competitive team that you can only hold on at Tony 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.360 for another year, I would look to be cashing him 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.880 in too. But to me, the Angels have to start 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.279 having this realization that they are not gonna be competitive 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.640 next year either. It is time to cash in all 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.960 the chips and you know a lot. Doctor Glenn put 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.120 it in here in the chat. But he's right, Oh, 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.600 Tani is a better asset to win right now than 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.320 Sodo because you're getting two players for one, and that's 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.760 worth a lot and something the Angels should really think about. 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.760 I just don't know, like who can make it happen? God, 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.920 I feel like I probably do say this all the time, 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.440 but I immediately was thinking, you know, like like the 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.040 Angels would a I'm sorry that the Angels, the Mariners 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.480 would have the number one need for a guy like him. 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.080 They need rotational help. They could you know, another bat 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.480 would go really well in there. Oh my god, that 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.760 would make sense. The Cardinals, the Cardinal would make all 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.880 the sense in the world as well, though they'd be 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.799 pushing a certain somebody off at d H. But again, 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.839 you could use some more bat help. And you could 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.920 use the starting pitcher. There are teams that you know, I. 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.560 Think the focus you know. 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.440 I mean, you know, the padres of all that pitching. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.480 You know, if you're going to move a pitcher back 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:18.119 in that deal. 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.080 Maybe for the Angels, that's a lot of snell, a 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:21.040 lot of Snell rumors. 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.120 I mean, yeah, that I could like it might be 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:27.040 a combination of major and minor league players. It's funny. 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.280 I I thought about this and I wanted to ask 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.840 you the question. I know my feelings on it, which 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.840 is is it harder for Like, if I'm the Angels, 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.360 I think it's harder to trade Otani to the Dodgers, 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.760 then it is necessarily if you're the Washington Nationals to 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.400 trade Soto to the Mets. It's in your division. But 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.360 the end of the day, who cares is the playoffs. 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.480 But there's it's kind of like the it's it's it's 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:53.240 the public perception is almost worse from a pr standpoint, 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.120 then in division doesn't matter as much as ew, we're 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.960 giving our best player to the Dodgers. Angels fan, that 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:00.800 does not sit well with you, but check this out 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:02.760 the Angel I'd rather give him to the Mariners. I 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.360 don't think they could trade them to the Yankees. You 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.520 can't trade them to a powerhouse Yankees team. 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:08.520 You're both easier. 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.760 Than the Dodgers, if you know what, I actually disagree. 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.040 I actually think the Yankees are something. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.480 How can they stomach if they want to be competitive, 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.640 that they've moved him to a team that is gonna 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.240 not even allow them to get to the World Series. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.119 I know what you're saying. What you're saying is not wrong. 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.800 Dodgers Angels trying to compete for that share. It's a 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.360 bad look. But I think the Yankees might be the 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.160 worst of all of them. So then you're starting to 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.200 deal with like, you know, would the Mariners be a destination? 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.439 He would even want to go back to the Cardinals 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.719 or kind of that middle ground area of stuff. I 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.160 don't know, it's crazy that we're having this discussion. It's 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.040 crazy that this really is being I. 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.680 Know, Oh, Tani Sodo like all these high What in 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.360 a fantasy trade? What would you expect back from Otani? 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:50.240 You know what a lot? 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:55.120 I own Otani in the Scott White twenty fourteen league. 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.600 It's a points league, though I have not received Oh did. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.319 You take over the team that I abandoned. They go 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:00.560 to you. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.280 Well, they did like a draft. They did like a draft, 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:04.280 and I took Otonni. 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:05.160 I didn't even get him in. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:06.960 The just not the dynasty league he runs. 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:08.880 This is the dynasty league. No, I think I took 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.280 over you. But they did a like like a draft 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.120 with a rearranging of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I've 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:15.600 got Otani and I've had him. 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.640 I've received the worst trade offers you could ever see, 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.160 and then people have stopped sending offers. I mean, really, 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:22.960 I haven't received one good offer in that league. 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:23.520 I got people. 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:27.480 I have Bobby wit Corbyn, Carroll, Shohio, Tani, and I 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:33.920 would expect minimum three pieces for Otani and if if 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.120 I were moving off of him, and at least two 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.320 have to be of the highest quality. I mean we're 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.600 talking massive, massive, high quality and like a standard let's 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.720 just say fifteen team rotor league if I were moving 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.959 OTAWNI See. The problem is is the prospect game isn't 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.640 as sexy as it usually is. So you know the 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:50.640 top of the game is like. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.000 Don Well, in a redraft league, Let's let's do it 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.960 in a redraft league. In a redraft league, I would 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:59.439 want I'm trying to think it would be I have 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.079 to be a pitch are probably in the like Aaron 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.080 Maybe Aaron Nola is even to like Aaron Nola and 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.000 a hitter? Is that would that be o Tani level? 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.360 I mean easy, Well, and see here's the problem. 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:12.880 Then you go start going all right, well, is this 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.160 a weekly or is this the daily transaction league? That's 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.920 fair because Otani is a little bit of a different price. 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:23.480 I I think Aaron Nola and let's just just jump 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.240 to my mind. I know he got banged up yesterday, 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.520 George Springer. I don't even I don't even know if 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.880 that's enough. Honestly, I don't even know if that's good. 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.199 Though those are the stats that Atani puts up in general. 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.600 So well, that's the thing. It's like, you need to 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:39.000 get what you're trading off, the risk of having all 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.880 that injury potential in one player for two other players 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.520 and then and but he's that enough? That is the question? 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.160 Or do you need you know, maybe a picture you're 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.720 buying low on a little bit and then two other players. 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:52.840 I guess it's it really is e of the beholder 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.040 at this point. But it's it's fascinating because the fantasy 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.360 value or even dynasty value of Showyotani versus the real 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.640 life value. The real life value of showy Otani is 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:06.120 going to bring back a huge haul of prospects as big, 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.640 if not bigger than Sodo. Then Nats have a problem 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:12.360 here because if Otani really is in the mix, they 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.360 better take whatever the best offer is, and they better 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.240 not wait because they I can see a lot of 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.520 teams going, oh, whoa, you want all this, but we 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.960 can get Otani for all of next year two and 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.280 he's a pitcher and a hitter. I don't know, Wan 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:24.760 Soda sounds like a great idea, but you know what, 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.040 we're gonna do it this way. They better watch themselves. 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:27.400 You know. 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.280 The Mets would make one of the biggest sense here 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.240 for Otani of all of them. I just don't know 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.000 if their system is as ripe as some of the 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.000 other system I mean, you know, if you have the 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.240 Mariners offering you know, the Martes and the Kirby's, and 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.400 you've got the Yankees that are out there actually offering 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.760 Jason and Volpi and that type of stuff, I don't 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.400 think they can compete in that, but they would fit 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.120 that like big market to be aggressive in the NL 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:55.280 that I think would really work it. 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.600 Otani offen to that side, but I just I don't know. 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.880 SOA looks like it's it's gonna happen and they are 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.240 just gonna wait till the last minute to see what 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.520 teams are gonna bit against each other. I want to 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.760 I actually want to see the Sodo trade go down 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.280 now so teams can turn their attention and get hyper 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.400 aggressive on on Tony if it's gonna happen. The problem 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.400 is is if this doesn't go down, this would be 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.920 a guest of mine. If this doesn't go down until 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.280 you know, trade deadline day, the Sodo trade, it could 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.199 be harder unless team unless there have been enough teams 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.280 that have just taken themselves out of the race, like 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:33.800 there's a reported Yankees have removed themselves from the trade discussions. 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.040 I just think it'll be hard to last minute put 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:37.240 an O Twani trade together. 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.040 But if I don't know the money or Sodo become 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.200 a met I will show up next week and I 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.559 will be hammer drunk at noon and it's gonna be awesome. 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:47.320 I just want to tell you, so you should all 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.160 be ready for that as baseball fans, I am gonna 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.880 be on here so excited. All right, let's talk about 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.840 other things not named Showy Altani. We'll come back to 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.599 it in a second. Uh Trade Turner three hits and 0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:00.079 a steal versus the Rockies, and Tyler Anderson seven inning 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.080 against the Rockies. We talked about him as the APPO 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.840 player of the night. Hopefully you listen there. Especially on 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.080 Fandle he was super cheap. He's super cheap on DK 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.240 as well. Alex Bregman in a homer and also drove 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.440 in three against the Mariners. Bregman, we just did a 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.560 video last week about him about Look, this is one 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.520 of the biggest second half buys you could possibly go 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.360 in on. All the deeper stats are good on Bregman. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.120 If you haven't already, please throw some trade offers out 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.240 there for Bregman. I know the window might be closing 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:27.679 because he's been good. He had a home run against 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.360 the Yankees last week, but he came back. Bregman to me, 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.440 was one of these perfect bi low candidates out there, 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.280 who are you gonna gains star back. Also, of the 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.960 Mets did make a trade for Tyler Naquin, so again 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:43.079 bench outfielder get him in kind of in a rotation 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:44.959 of stuff that makes a lot of sense. Aaron Judge 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.520 his third walk off home run against the Royals, and 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.640 George Springer is gonna be evaluated for the elbow discomfort. 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:52.600 We'll see what brings of that. You don't want that 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.360 to be the case of you're the Blue Jays. You 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.080 want to be a full strength. Also, Corey Seger left 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.600 with a lower laying injury, but just precautionary. So everything 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.320 seems to be okay there. 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.880 I'll also just to hear the thing real quick if 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.559 you guys remember me mentioning it if you follow me 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.840 on Twitter at is at the Welsh. I was over 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.120 at the Rangers facility last night and I can report 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.199 Josh Young looking pretty good. 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.720 One of the top process Yeah, yes, yes, let's talk 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:16.360 about you know, from a. 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.440 Dynasty perspective, was a top one hundred guy. First at 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:24.080 bat since October of twenty twenty one. I watched all 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.160 three of visit bats. That dude, by the way, after 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.520 his third at bat, boom, he was out. He was 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.240 out of there. But I took some pictures in video, 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.360 all good swings, lots of loft. Last one he got 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:34.680 a hit. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.240 Look fast. I was surprised how fast he. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.200 Looked like, trimmed out a little bit, looked very healthy, 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.440 good spirits and kind of think there's the potential for 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:45.240 the back half of this year for him to get 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.600 the call up if they're a little aggressive with the assignment. 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.880 But just letting everybody know he got his first at bats. 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:53.160 He's going to play an infield next week. And if 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.680 you want to see some video, you can go check 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.240 out my Twitter timeline is the Welsh. Also, I talked 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:02.440 to Kamara Rocker. Kamara Rocker, I actually weirdly, I parked 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.600 my car, I got out of my car and Kamar 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.240 was just walking on the sidewalk and I was like, hey, 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:09.840 what I did? 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:10.200 I did? 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.720 Yeah, hey, well yeah, actually you know I interviewed him, 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.920 but it's because they had this apartment complex right next 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:15.000 to this. 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:16.440 How do you do that? You just walk up and 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.880 say like, hey, I'm paparazzi. Can I interview I'm the Welsh. 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.440 Well I didn't interview him there. I interviewed him at 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.480 a stadium years ago. But no, he literally I got 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.000 out of my car, had my bag, start walking and 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.080 he's just walking right to the side, big old water 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:30.040 jug and I was like. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.160 Hey, didn't recognize you. 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:37.280 No, no, no, no, very few, very few records A white guy. Yeah, 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.760 good guy. And I'd be like, oh you call me 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:40.240 big guy. 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:42.760 Well, I mean, you know, but. 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.000 Kamar is here just letting everybody know he is hanging 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.120 out at the Ranger's facility him and. 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:49.480 Just said this, I'm the Welsh. You know me? 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:49.920 You know? 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.160 Don't you know who I am? I'm the Welsh. One 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.160 other implication I think needs to be talked about. And 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.280 I haven't heard anybody mentioned this yet, but but we 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.560 might have a wrinkle in our MVP plans because if 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.920 Otani does get traded all of a sudden, the al 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.320 MVP shares we have Votani go to so big picture 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.080 Joey p is here to help all of you with this. 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.840 I would right now, even though it's minus money, most 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.760 places put some money on Aaron judge. You have to 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.320 hedge this, and you have to do it with a 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.080 good sized number to make some money back to make 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.880 up the Otani share. Again, it's a fifty to fifty. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.880 It's a coin flip. I don't think it's a bad 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.440 investment anyway. I don't think you want to dip out 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.960 of the Otani investment, but you have to if you 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.760 haven't already hedge on on Aaron Judge for MVP. You 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.720 have to do it because when he leaves in the 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.120 American League, if he does, those chairs go up and smoke. 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.040 But do you think it would hurt if he was 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.760 traded to another American League team as well? 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.040 And or you have to you have to think fifty percent. 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:47.760 Like I said, you have to open the field up 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:48.840 to the National League more. 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.280 Now, No, no, I agree with what you're saying. 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:56.600 I think I think the Mets, Dodgers, Padres, Cardinals are 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:00.160 all better potential suitors except for the Yankees in the 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:01.120 americanly the Yankees. 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.040 I think your your Judge idea is a great idea, 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:06.600 and I would do it on a site like fandel 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.080 where you can do your constant cash outs just in 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:10.880 case even if you you know, if he doesn't get 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.800 traded and then you sell it off and you lose 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.679 a buck or two whatever, you can do that. But 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.440 I'm saying if he were just an hypothetical be traded 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:18.280 to the Yankees. 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:20.919 That was my next thing. I was like, what if 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.320 he gets traded to the Yankees. But to watch him 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.919 and Judge together, my god, like that would hurt. But 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.200 even if it hurts Judge, it hurts Judge. 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:29.560
