00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:18.699 everything that's going on right now. 00:00:19.841 --> 00:00:20.221 Yeah, 00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:22.443 it sucks that the trade deadline is 00:00:22.483 --> 00:00:23.562 tomorrow at 4. 00:00:23.562 --> 00:00:24.963 I don't believe I could, 00:00:25.123 --> 00:00:26.125 I don't think we both could 00:00:26.164 --> 00:00:29.126 pull out a PTO day and call 00:00:29.187 --> 00:00:30.167 it quits and just cover 00:00:30.207 --> 00:00:31.388 baseball live stream all 00:00:31.428 --> 00:00:32.548 day as fun as it would be. 00:00:32.607 --> 00:00:33.628 But you know what would happen? 00:00:34.109 --> 00:00:35.310 We'd end up doing it and not 00:00:35.329 --> 00:00:36.750 a single move would be made. 00:00:37.401 --> 00:00:38.521 that and deadline's actually 00:00:38.561 --> 00:00:40.841 six this year is it six 00:00:41.161 --> 00:00:42.642 yeah I always remember 00:00:42.682 --> 00:00:43.682 being four o'clock so 00:00:43.743 --> 00:00:45.023 that's that's interesting 00:00:45.063 --> 00:00:46.003 I'll be very interested to 00:00:46.023 --> 00:00:48.003 see what happens uh as you 00:00:48.043 --> 00:00:49.344 said there's a lot going on 00:00:49.384 --> 00:00:50.764 not just trade deadline 00:00:50.804 --> 00:00:51.865 mentioned but there's also 00:00:51.905 --> 00:00:53.325 some injuries some 00:00:53.365 --> 00:00:55.505 extensions some shifts that 00:00:55.524 --> 00:00:56.286 will happen in the 00:00:56.365 --> 00:00:58.746 standings but uh to kick it 00:00:58.826 --> 00:01:01.087 off tonight and dive right 00:01:01.106 --> 00:01:02.887 in why don't we talk about 00:01:03.847 --> 00:01:05.688 one of the league division leaders 00:01:06.769 --> 00:01:08.810 the Milwaukee Brewers and 00:01:08.849 --> 00:01:10.069 their key injury that they 00:01:10.109 --> 00:01:10.890 just suffered with 00:01:10.930 --> 00:01:12.590 Christian Yelich and what 00:01:12.631 --> 00:01:13.551 that means for them. 00:01:14.150 --> 00:01:15.132 We got breaking news. 00:01:16.052 --> 00:01:16.831 Well, of course we do. 00:01:16.932 --> 00:01:18.453 Expect this the whole episode. 00:01:18.893 --> 00:01:19.132 Yep. 00:01:19.572 --> 00:01:21.414 Ahmed Rosario is heading to the Dodgers. 00:01:23.873 --> 00:01:24.254 Really? 00:01:25.694 --> 00:01:27.015 Didn't we talk about that 00:01:27.254 --> 00:01:28.436 early on in the year? 00:01:28.475 --> 00:01:29.256 I thought so. 00:01:30.736 --> 00:01:31.876 And I talked about Isaac 00:01:31.936 --> 00:01:33.296 Paredes going to the Cubs 00:01:33.337 --> 00:01:34.277 and that happened four 00:01:34.337 --> 00:01:35.918 months way too late, but 00:01:36.661 --> 00:01:38.682 interesting who's he going 00:01:38.721 --> 00:01:40.382 for doesn't say yeah I'm 00:01:40.683 --> 00:01:41.563 waiting for it to come in 00:01:42.683 --> 00:01:44.164 so what did okay so 00:01:45.265 --> 00:01:46.385 interesting this was this 00:01:46.486 --> 00:01:47.646 is not what we had talked 00:01:47.686 --> 00:01:49.126 about or not on the agenda 00:01:49.846 --> 00:01:53.728 um how does this make you 00:01:53.849 --> 00:01:56.069 think in regards to the 00:01:56.189 --> 00:02:00.471 overall health of bets and that infield 00:02:01.953 --> 00:02:03.736 it's gotta be a lot of questions. 00:02:03.756 --> 00:02:04.236 Like, I mean, 00:02:04.396 --> 00:02:05.677 does it open the door for 00:02:06.337 --> 00:02:07.039 somebody like Kike 00:02:07.058 --> 00:02:07.998 Hernandez to get moved? 00:02:08.019 --> 00:02:09.800 You know, 00:02:09.901 --> 00:02:11.902 utility guy where in the aspect 00:02:12.022 --> 00:02:14.985 of maybe they acquire a prospect for Kike, 00:02:15.466 --> 00:02:17.026 not a top tier prospect, obviously, 00:02:17.086 --> 00:02:18.449 but I mean, 00:02:18.468 --> 00:02:20.129 it opens the door for guys like him, 00:02:20.189 --> 00:02:22.151 Chris Taylor, they might get moved. 00:02:22.292 --> 00:02:22.472 I mean, 00:02:22.491 --> 00:02:23.872 they just keep stocking up on 00:02:24.753 --> 00:02:26.716 infielders who move all over the place. 00:02:26.735 --> 00:02:27.937 Like we talked about earlier, um, 00:02:28.556 --> 00:02:29.717 We'll get to it in a little while, 00:02:29.817 --> 00:02:31.396 but Mookie Betts, you know, 00:02:31.497 --> 00:02:33.018 he's the shortstop when he's healthy. 00:02:34.057 --> 00:02:34.739 He can play second. 00:02:34.758 --> 00:02:35.519 He can play outfield. 00:02:35.538 --> 00:02:37.340 So they got Rosario. 00:02:37.379 --> 00:02:38.719 So does he move back to the outfield? 00:02:38.740 --> 00:02:39.721 Is he going to play second? 00:02:39.881 --> 00:02:40.741 What about Gavin Lux? 00:02:41.941 --> 00:02:42.741 What about – yeah. 00:02:43.602 --> 00:02:45.883 So let's table that because 00:02:45.943 --> 00:02:47.723 now everything – well, screw it. 00:02:48.644 --> 00:02:49.584 We'll table it for now, 00:02:49.623 --> 00:02:50.865 but it just opens up those 00:02:50.905 --> 00:02:52.906 doors that I want to talk 00:02:52.966 --> 00:02:54.105 more about Mookie when we 00:02:54.126 --> 00:02:55.227 get back to the Dodgers. 00:02:55.407 --> 00:02:55.687 So – 00:02:56.531 --> 00:02:57.752 As CJ mentioned, 00:02:58.573 --> 00:03:00.274 hopefully they'll be within 00:03:00.313 --> 00:03:01.493 this hour that we're on. 00:03:01.574 --> 00:03:03.216 We'll hear some more news, 00:03:03.276 --> 00:03:04.575 some different trades coming in. 00:03:05.377 --> 00:03:07.157 But back to the Brewers, 00:03:07.677 --> 00:03:09.879 who we both were thinking 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:11.341 that they were on the verge 00:03:11.381 --> 00:03:12.641 of most likely going to 00:03:12.681 --> 00:03:14.163 lose that division just 00:03:14.223 --> 00:03:15.544 because of how the 00:03:15.584 --> 00:03:16.663 Cardinals have been playing 00:03:16.704 --> 00:03:19.105 and also the steam that the 00:03:19.186 --> 00:03:19.986 Pirates were getting. 00:03:20.907 --> 00:03:22.048 But Christian Yelich going 00:03:22.068 --> 00:03:22.907 down with an injury. 00:03:23.568 --> 00:03:24.128 They're 2-2 without him. 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:28.360 17 and 14. 00:03:28.401 --> 00:03:30.622 I think that's outscored. 00:03:31.342 --> 00:03:33.242 Outscored, 17 to 14. 00:03:34.563 --> 00:03:38.225 And they're just really not 00:03:38.385 --> 00:03:39.205 good without him. 00:03:39.265 --> 00:03:41.787 He doesn't have the power 00:03:41.866 --> 00:03:43.427 numbers that he did a few years ago, 00:03:43.467 --> 00:03:46.368 but he's that constant contact hitter now, 00:03:46.468 --> 00:03:47.610 hitting it to the gaps, 00:03:48.650 --> 00:03:49.591 hitting for average, 00:03:50.491 --> 00:03:52.872 and he was stealing some bases. 00:03:53.693 --> 00:03:54.612 That's a huge gap, 00:03:54.673 --> 00:03:56.114 especially with Bryce Terang. 00:03:56.831 --> 00:03:58.453 Not hitting the way he was. 00:03:58.532 --> 00:03:59.774 Jackson Cheerio hasn't been 00:03:59.813 --> 00:04:01.995 playing up to where he was supposed to. 00:04:02.014 --> 00:04:02.335 You know, 00:04:02.375 --> 00:04:03.515 everyone thought he was going to be. 00:04:04.156 --> 00:04:08.359 So what's your opinion on the Brewers now? 00:04:10.259 --> 00:04:11.599 And what's left for them? 00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:14.222 Are they a team that targets Brent Rooker? 00:04:15.467 --> 00:04:16.127 I think they've got to be in 00:04:16.146 --> 00:04:17.007 the conversation for 00:04:17.127 --> 00:04:18.108 somebody in the outfield 00:04:18.129 --> 00:04:20.089 because Yelich sounds like 00:04:20.110 --> 00:04:21.990 he's going to avoid surgery. 00:04:22.130 --> 00:04:23.831 He's going to go with the rehab route. 00:04:24.052 --> 00:04:25.052 And so who knows how long 00:04:25.112 --> 00:04:27.052 that relatively is and who 00:04:27.072 --> 00:04:28.514 knows if it doesn't lead to surgery. 00:04:31.055 --> 00:04:32.555 The issue now is what we've 00:04:32.576 --> 00:04:33.357 talked about in recent 00:04:33.396 --> 00:04:36.237 weeks is them losing the Central League. 00:04:37.538 --> 00:04:39.279 And I think the Cardinals 00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:40.380 going four and six in their 00:04:40.401 --> 00:04:42.141 last ten has helped them. 00:04:43.456 --> 00:04:45.476 Whereas the Pirates at six and four, 00:04:46.117 --> 00:04:47.958 if they can go get somebody, you know, 00:04:48.057 --> 00:04:48.918 for an outfield that like 00:04:48.978 --> 00:04:50.538 if they get Rooker and steal them, 00:04:51.899 --> 00:04:53.620 then the door is still open. 00:04:53.699 --> 00:04:55.660 But right now it's still the Brewers. 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:57.920 And realistically, 00:04:58.021 --> 00:04:58.841 the stretch they have 00:04:58.901 --> 00:05:01.882 coming is where I have my 00:05:01.942 --> 00:05:03.463 questions of what happens next. 00:05:04.411 --> 00:05:05.451 and I sent it to you earlier, 00:05:06.192 --> 00:05:06.653 right now they have a 00:05:06.673 --> 00:05:07.733 six-game lead in the division. 00:05:07.752 --> 00:05:08.353 Yep. 00:05:08.374 --> 00:05:09.853 You're going to face the Braves, 00:05:10.074 --> 00:05:12.074 the Nationals, the Braves, the Reds, 00:05:12.314 --> 00:05:13.694 the Dodgers, and the Guardians. 00:05:14.836 --> 00:05:17.737 Realistically, that's three, 00:05:17.797 --> 00:05:19.958 maybe four series they may not win. 00:05:19.978 --> 00:05:20.778 Yeah. 00:05:21.298 --> 00:05:22.418 I mean, they should win the Nationals, 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:23.559 and they should win the Reds series. 00:05:25.019 --> 00:05:27.380 But you drop – really, 00:05:27.420 --> 00:05:28.021 if you think about it, 00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:29.081 you come out of those first 00:05:29.141 --> 00:05:30.362 two Braves series, because it's Braves, 00:05:30.382 --> 00:05:31.161 Nationals, Braves. 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:33.822 You come out of that after the trade line, 00:05:34.682 --> 00:05:35.862 and you relatively should 00:05:35.903 --> 00:05:36.723 know where they're sitting, 00:05:36.803 --> 00:05:38.305 if this could be an issue 00:05:38.324 --> 00:05:38.966 where they're losing the 00:05:39.005 --> 00:05:41.127 division lead or if they're keeping it. 00:05:41.687 --> 00:05:41.987 Now, 00:05:42.908 --> 00:05:44.290 as I've thought about it more and more, 00:05:44.310 --> 00:05:45.711 if they do lose the division lead, 00:05:46.812 --> 00:05:47.812 I think they still might 00:05:47.853 --> 00:05:48.634 make the playoffs. 00:05:49.514 --> 00:05:50.956 Yeah, there's a lot. 00:05:50.975 --> 00:05:52.716 I mean, with 60 wins right now, 00:05:52.877 --> 00:05:55.399 they would have to fall drastically. 00:05:55.819 --> 00:05:56.019 I mean, 00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:58.221 they're 6-4 in their last 10 games. 00:05:58.927 --> 00:06:00.509 The Cardinals are 4-6 and 00:06:00.528 --> 00:06:01.810 the Pirates are 6-4. 00:06:02.230 --> 00:06:03.692 That's a lot of ground. 00:06:04.411 --> 00:06:05.112 Can it be done? 00:06:05.752 --> 00:06:06.093 Yes. 00:06:06.874 --> 00:06:08.935 But that's a huge gap 00:06:08.954 --> 00:06:10.656 because it's not the first 00:06:10.716 --> 00:06:12.158 time he's been injured this year. 00:06:12.538 --> 00:06:13.899 It's just the timing this 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:15.220 time around that makes it a 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:16.380 little bit more interesting. 00:06:16.401 --> 00:06:18.081 You see the Cardinals adding pieces. 00:06:18.581 --> 00:06:19.762 Pittsburgh's playing well. 00:06:21.403 --> 00:06:21.904 It's just... 00:06:22.750 --> 00:06:24.391 I mentioned this today in an article, 00:06:24.531 --> 00:06:25.593 or I didn't mention it. 00:06:25.973 --> 00:06:26.994 I was thinking about today 00:06:27.014 --> 00:06:28.134 in an article I wrote in 00:06:28.235 --> 00:06:30.257 just a roster of moves for the Reds. 00:06:30.776 --> 00:06:31.757 They've dealt with a bunch 00:06:31.798 --> 00:06:32.978 of injuries and so have a 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:34.019 lot of other teams. 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:36.620 But I think about the Braves. 00:06:37.961 --> 00:06:38.802 We've talked about it. 00:06:39.343 --> 00:06:42.285 They get hit with big key players. 00:06:42.505 --> 00:06:45.507 Their top players, Acuna, Albies, Strider. 00:06:46.067 --> 00:06:48.310 You take those three studs, Lopez. 00:06:48.930 --> 00:06:49.730 Thankfully, he's good. 00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:50.920 Yeah, 00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:52.742 but if you were to take three of the 00:06:52.802 --> 00:06:55.185 top players, your top, your ace, you know, 00:06:55.605 --> 00:06:56.786 on paper, your ace, 00:06:57.367 --> 00:06:59.730 your star outfielder and a star infielder, 00:07:00.850 --> 00:07:01.692 who's surviving that? 00:07:02.312 --> 00:07:02.934 Not many people. 00:07:03.654 --> 00:07:03.915 Right? 00:07:04.074 --> 00:07:05.637 So it'll be interesting to 00:07:05.656 --> 00:07:06.538 see what the Brewers do. 00:07:07.444 --> 00:07:10.144 Now, another piece of news before we, 00:07:10.404 --> 00:07:10.644 you know, 00:07:10.685 --> 00:07:12.305 there's two other things we need 00:07:12.326 --> 00:07:13.706 to talk about before we get 00:07:13.745 --> 00:07:15.365 to the standings and get to the trades. 00:07:15.987 --> 00:07:17.226 You and I have had several 00:07:17.286 --> 00:07:18.747 conversations about Alex 00:07:18.807 --> 00:07:20.267 Cora being the next manager 00:07:20.307 --> 00:07:22.588 of the Los Angeles Dodgers. 00:07:23.728 --> 00:07:23.949 Well, 00:07:24.668 --> 00:07:27.430 the other day he signs a three-year 00:07:27.449 --> 00:07:28.269 extension, correct? 00:07:28.730 --> 00:07:28.891 Yep. 00:07:29.211 --> 00:07:29.391 Right? 00:07:29.750 --> 00:07:32.192 Signs a three-year extension. 00:07:32.211 --> 00:07:33.612 21.75 mil, I believe. 00:07:34.172 --> 00:07:34.391 Yep. 00:07:35.012 --> 00:07:36.192 And I think it's well worth it. 00:07:36.233 --> 00:07:36.452 I think... 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.060 I think what he has done 00:07:39.860 --> 00:07:42.380 with his staff collectively, you know, 00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:44.201 we've talked plenty about Bailey. 00:07:44.882 --> 00:07:46.642 I think he's – you have to 00:07:46.682 --> 00:07:47.764 think about the Red Sox and 00:07:47.783 --> 00:07:49.564 anyone that they're 00:07:49.725 --> 00:07:51.346 overachieving for what they 00:07:51.346 --> 00:07:52.045 – because they've been 00:07:52.065 --> 00:07:53.326 through a bunch of injuries too. 00:07:54.007 --> 00:07:55.206 So what's your take on the 00:07:55.266 --> 00:07:56.288 extension for Cora? 00:07:56.307 --> 00:07:57.048 Do you like it? 00:07:58.009 --> 00:07:58.848 What's it mean? 00:07:59.009 --> 00:08:00.329 What are you looking forward to? 00:08:00.949 --> 00:08:01.509 What's your take? 00:08:02.331 --> 00:08:03.610 I'm excited that it happened, 00:08:03.971 --> 00:08:05.211 and I think the biggest 00:08:05.372 --> 00:08:10.293 takeaway from it is – 00:08:10.293 --> 00:08:11.173 I think the biggest thing 00:08:11.254 --> 00:08:14.014 from it is that he's going 00:08:14.074 --> 00:08:16.276 to be here with the big 00:08:16.295 --> 00:08:17.276 three prospects that we 00:08:17.295 --> 00:08:18.197 talk about all the time. 00:08:19.016 --> 00:08:20.937 So you're seeing what he's 00:08:20.978 --> 00:08:21.918 been able to do with the 00:08:21.939 --> 00:08:23.839 staff he has with guys like Duran. 00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:25.800 Rafael should be in the 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.100 rookie of the year conversation. 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.401 You know, 00:08:29.461 --> 00:08:30.963 Connor Wong's coming into his own. 00:08:31.966 --> 00:08:33.827 And Casas and all those names. 00:08:34.087 --> 00:08:34.748 And so now you're going to 00:08:34.849 --> 00:08:36.929 add in to the fact of Kyle Teal, 00:08:36.990 --> 00:08:39.091 Marcel Meyer, Roman Anthony, 00:08:39.312 --> 00:08:41.474 maybe even guys like Christian Campbell. 00:08:42.073 --> 00:08:43.855 And now you have stability 00:08:44.115 --> 00:08:46.298 leading that home to lead 00:08:46.317 --> 00:08:48.620 them going forward where realistically, 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:49.360 like you just said, 00:08:49.419 --> 00:08:51.142 they're overperforming this year. 00:08:52.082 --> 00:08:54.283 So the excitement should 00:08:54.303 --> 00:08:56.046 just be even higher now in Boston. 00:08:56.725 --> 00:08:58.807 And I like what they've got coming. 00:08:59.740 --> 00:09:00.701 And like you said about the 00:09:00.761 --> 00:09:02.481 whole money thing of not being bad, 00:09:02.601 --> 00:09:05.624 I think he kind of, in a way, 00:09:05.663 --> 00:09:06.924 addressed that in his press 00:09:06.945 --> 00:09:08.586 conference after where he just said, 00:09:08.605 --> 00:09:10.145 you know, my family likes to be here. 00:09:10.166 --> 00:09:12.528 I think he said his daughter 00:09:12.548 --> 00:09:14.688 is going to be graduating soon, you know, 00:09:15.229 --> 00:09:16.208 and everybody in his family 00:09:16.249 --> 00:09:17.110 just likes being here. 00:09:17.169 --> 00:09:20.071 So it wasn't for him about the money. 00:09:20.491 --> 00:09:21.631 It was they found a home. 00:09:21.831 --> 00:09:22.633 They're comfortable. 00:09:23.493 --> 00:09:24.474 And the Red Sox, you know, 00:09:24.533 --> 00:09:26.033 met them pretty much 00:09:26.073 --> 00:09:26.955 halfway right there and said, 00:09:26.995 --> 00:09:27.794 we're going to pay you like 00:09:27.835 --> 00:09:28.895 the top manager you are. 00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:30.600 But you're not going to be 00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:31.601 the top paid manager. 00:09:32.841 --> 00:09:33.922 And so they came to a deal. 00:09:34.481 --> 00:09:35.682 I really like the fact that 00:09:36.263 --> 00:09:37.082 they wanted to get it done 00:09:37.123 --> 00:09:38.423 so bad that you saw Craig 00:09:38.464 --> 00:09:40.423 Breslow fly out to Colorado. 00:09:41.104 --> 00:09:42.725 And the deal was official 00:09:43.644 --> 00:09:45.005 literally in the second 00:09:45.046 --> 00:09:45.745 inning of that game. 00:09:47.645 --> 00:09:49.167 It was wild. 00:09:49.287 --> 00:09:52.327 It said, oh, the deal is close to done. 00:09:53.163 --> 00:09:54.464 And that was before the game started. 00:09:54.484 --> 00:09:55.043 And I was like, all right, 00:09:55.063 --> 00:09:55.764 so they'll have it done 00:09:55.804 --> 00:09:58.647 maybe on the flight back on tomorrow, 00:09:58.746 --> 00:09:59.807 tonight, tomorrow, whatever. 00:10:00.567 --> 00:10:03.049 And then it was like the second inning, 00:10:03.570 --> 00:10:04.049 deal is done. 00:10:05.250 --> 00:10:05.912 So I'm like, the core, 00:10:05.932 --> 00:10:06.851 just go down the tunnel and 00:10:06.871 --> 00:10:08.352 just sign the contract with Breslau. 00:10:09.833 --> 00:10:10.875 That was just how it came out. 00:10:10.914 --> 00:10:14.096 I mean, that just to me speaks volumes. 00:10:14.397 --> 00:10:16.979 Like you're getting to flying out, 00:10:17.099 --> 00:10:19.441 showing how important it is. 00:10:20.756 --> 00:10:21.317 to Cora, 00:10:21.376 --> 00:10:23.918 to the organization and get that done. 00:10:23.958 --> 00:10:25.340 That to me was, I did, 00:10:26.701 --> 00:10:27.902 I guess it was out of sight, 00:10:27.942 --> 00:10:28.841 out of mind with everything 00:10:28.881 --> 00:10:30.504 else going on that I didn't 00:10:30.563 --> 00:10:31.384 expect it right now. 00:10:31.423 --> 00:10:32.684 Maybe at the end of this season, 00:10:33.184 --> 00:10:34.605 expected maybe something to happen. 00:10:35.187 --> 00:10:35.846 They kept saying, 00:10:35.886 --> 00:10:36.967 we're not doing it during the season. 00:10:36.988 --> 00:10:38.028 We'll be done in the off season. 00:10:38.908 --> 00:10:40.490 And that was literally like 00:10:41.370 --> 00:10:42.812 just everything broke that day. 00:10:42.991 --> 00:10:44.153 Like I think the first pitch was at 310. 00:10:44.673 --> 00:10:46.274 One o'clock, 00:10:46.333 --> 00:10:47.294 it's like the news started to 00:10:47.335 --> 00:10:47.754 trickle out. 00:10:51.383 --> 00:10:51.743 Yeah, 00:10:51.842 --> 00:10:54.946 it's definitely interesting and good. 00:10:54.985 --> 00:10:56.427 And as bad as this last 00:10:56.486 --> 00:10:58.428 series with the next team 00:10:58.469 --> 00:11:01.530 we want to talk about, the Yankees, 00:11:02.011 --> 00:11:05.955 they didn't play well last night. 00:11:07.466 --> 00:11:08.506 necessarily didn't pitch 00:11:08.527 --> 00:11:09.988 well another tannahawk 00:11:11.009 --> 00:11:11.809 outing that was just 00:11:12.070 --> 00:11:14.052 lackluster which we can get 00:11:14.111 --> 00:11:16.073 into later I wouldn't say 00:11:16.394 --> 00:11:17.335 he doesn't he's not the 00:11:17.375 --> 00:11:18.855 punch out numbers no he was 00:11:18.895 --> 00:11:19.876 punching some people out 00:11:19.937 --> 00:11:21.118 earlier on and he's just 00:11:21.158 --> 00:11:22.119 not missing the bats like 00:11:22.139 --> 00:11:23.759 he was before his control 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:24.760 has definitely gone down 00:11:24.841 --> 00:11:26.221 but I mean thankfully you 00:11:26.261 --> 00:11:27.302 got six things out of him 00:11:27.322 --> 00:11:28.303 because after the first at 00:11:28.323 --> 00:11:28.825 least you're gonna get 00:11:28.865 --> 00:11:31.206 three or four and the bullpen is taxed 00:11:32.241 --> 00:11:34.143 And so, thankfully, he was able to go six. 00:11:34.943 --> 00:11:35.984 I thought it was interesting 00:11:36.043 --> 00:11:37.284 that I think in the aspect, 00:11:37.804 --> 00:11:38.926 we're getting a little off topic, 00:11:38.966 --> 00:11:41.006 but just in the aspect of I 00:11:41.027 --> 00:11:42.628 thought it was interesting, you know, 00:11:43.107 --> 00:11:43.889 everybody had the gut 00:11:43.928 --> 00:11:44.908 feeling Weissert was going 00:11:44.928 --> 00:11:46.909 to get optioned to AAA. 00:11:47.890 --> 00:11:49.192 And, you know, 00:11:49.211 --> 00:11:50.552 they let him go to the eighth, 00:11:50.592 --> 00:11:51.232 and then you brought out 00:11:51.332 --> 00:11:52.774 Cooper Criswell for the ninth, which... 00:11:53.842 --> 00:11:54.602 Cooper Criswell is now in 00:11:54.623 --> 00:11:55.423 the bullpen with the 00:11:55.583 --> 00:11:56.884 acquisition of Paxton. 00:11:57.605 --> 00:11:59.205 But why would you not have 00:11:59.245 --> 00:12:00.365 Cooper Criswell as your one 00:12:00.405 --> 00:12:03.287 healthy arm going into tonight, you know, 00:12:03.366 --> 00:12:04.846 with Pavetta going and what 00:12:04.886 --> 00:12:05.908 Pavetta has been doing lately? 00:12:05.927 --> 00:12:06.268 Thankfully, 00:12:06.288 --> 00:12:07.849 he's pitching fantastic right now. 00:12:08.528 --> 00:12:10.269 But it's a question mark you had where, 00:12:10.450 --> 00:12:10.730 you know, 00:12:11.149 --> 00:12:12.289 pretty much all of your bullpen 00:12:12.330 --> 00:12:13.250 except for Criswell and 00:12:13.291 --> 00:12:15.312 Weiser had thrown both 00:12:15.392 --> 00:12:16.412 Friday and Saturday. 00:12:17.032 --> 00:12:17.231 Yeah. 00:12:17.812 --> 00:12:18.653 So, I mean, it was just – 00:12:19.351 --> 00:12:20.312 one of those situations 00:12:20.351 --> 00:12:21.192 where I didn't know why 00:12:21.273 --> 00:12:21.913 they just didn't let 00:12:21.993 --> 00:12:22.972 weissert ride it out the 00:12:23.013 --> 00:12:23.793 game was pretty much out of 00:12:23.832 --> 00:12:25.453 hand yeah everybody kind of 00:12:25.474 --> 00:12:26.974 just knew it but to go to 00:12:26.994 --> 00:12:28.294 criswell for one was an 00:12:28.335 --> 00:12:29.634 interesting call and now 00:12:29.855 --> 00:12:31.956 weissert sent down to to 00:12:32.275 --> 00:12:33.677 worcester and here we are 00:12:34.437 --> 00:12:36.437 yeah yeah a little little 00:12:36.456 --> 00:12:38.138 confusing but you know I 00:12:38.158 --> 00:12:39.958 think the big thing is 00:12:41.058 --> 00:12:44.360 reslo sees the value in cora 00:12:45.443 --> 00:12:46.684 But also sees how he's 00:12:46.725 --> 00:12:48.345 getting production from 00:12:48.445 --> 00:12:50.806 some of these guys that no one, you know, 00:12:50.846 --> 00:12:53.187 role players or, you know, 00:12:53.226 --> 00:12:54.748 some of them maybe on other 00:12:54.768 --> 00:12:56.269 teams would be down the minors. 00:12:56.989 --> 00:12:57.808 But they're getting 00:12:57.869 --> 00:12:58.549 production out of them. 00:12:58.590 --> 00:12:59.429 They've got Teal, 00:13:00.451 --> 00:13:03.812 Marcel Meyer and Anthony coming up, 00:13:03.971 --> 00:13:05.753 as you've mentioned previously. 00:13:07.546 --> 00:13:08.907 They've got options now 00:13:08.986 --> 00:13:10.927 where they can make some moves. 00:13:10.988 --> 00:13:11.889 I know that we've talked 00:13:11.928 --> 00:13:14.870 about them perhaps looking at a, you know, 00:13:14.890 --> 00:13:16.292 whether it be crochet or 00:13:16.331 --> 00:13:18.592 someone else for a stud 00:13:18.633 --> 00:13:19.634 pitcher to kind of throw 00:13:19.673 --> 00:13:20.855 into this mix as a lefty. 00:13:21.592 --> 00:13:23.094 They've got the pieces now. 00:13:23.413 --> 00:13:25.655 You see them making a move today, 00:13:25.716 --> 00:13:26.975 but they've got some pieces 00:13:27.135 --> 00:13:31.458 to really compete with the 00:13:31.499 --> 00:13:33.000 teams like the Orioles and 00:13:33.019 --> 00:13:35.260 the Yankees over the next few years. 00:13:35.481 --> 00:13:37.123 They've got some interesting 00:13:37.283 --> 00:13:38.844 options with things that they can do. 00:13:39.543 --> 00:13:40.384 I'm really excited. 00:13:40.404 --> 00:13:42.686 I'm glad to have Cora back. 00:13:43.706 --> 00:13:44.706 With all that said, 00:13:46.607 --> 00:13:47.548 what's your take on the 00:13:47.609 --> 00:13:48.830 Yankees now that we've 00:13:49.687 --> 00:13:51.590 seeing them for the last three days. 00:13:52.590 --> 00:13:54.991 Well, they had a good series. 00:13:55.111 --> 00:13:56.373 They played well. 00:13:56.613 --> 00:13:57.274 Realistically, 00:13:57.453 --> 00:13:58.475 that could have gone either way. 00:13:59.355 --> 00:13:59.796 Friday night, 00:13:59.936 --> 00:14:01.236 they definitely could have won that game. 00:14:01.277 --> 00:14:02.138 Red Sox came back. 00:14:03.099 --> 00:14:04.759 Saturday, again, either way, 00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:05.721 Tyler O'Neal makes that 00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:06.561 catch against the wall. 00:14:06.620 --> 00:14:07.662 Red Sox win the series. 00:14:08.363 --> 00:14:09.363 Sunday was all Yankees. 00:14:10.364 --> 00:14:11.164 The one thing about them 00:14:11.205 --> 00:14:13.206 from the past week was that 00:14:13.245 --> 00:14:14.447 team does not want to see 00:14:14.466 --> 00:14:17.629 the New York Mets ever again this season. 00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:21.402 For instance, this season, just simply, 00:14:21.422 --> 00:14:23.325 the Yankees are 0-4 against the Mets, 00:14:24.386 --> 00:14:25.808 and they've been outscored 36-14. 00:14:25.828 --> 00:14:28.172 And I watched – I want to 00:14:28.192 --> 00:14:28.873 say it was Wednesday 00:14:28.913 --> 00:14:29.634 night's game because the 00:14:29.653 --> 00:14:31.451 Sox played early – 00:14:31.451 --> 00:14:32.871 And Garrett Cole got the start, 00:14:32.912 --> 00:14:33.913 and it was just – they 00:14:34.312 --> 00:14:36.114 destroyed the Yankees. 00:14:36.134 --> 00:14:37.855 I think it was the eighth inning, 00:14:37.875 --> 00:14:38.535 and I had it on, 00:14:38.576 --> 00:14:39.395 and Garrett Cole obviously 00:14:39.416 --> 00:14:40.136 was out of the game, 00:14:40.716 --> 00:14:41.518 and it just kept getting – 00:14:41.518 --> 00:14:42.518 they just kept scoring. 00:14:42.979 --> 00:14:43.119 Like, 00:14:43.158 --> 00:14:44.940 the Mets lineup was just fun to watch 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:45.379 that night. 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.481 The one player on the Mets, though, 00:14:49.082 --> 00:14:51.183 that is destroying the ball 00:14:51.224 --> 00:14:52.825 right now is Francisco Lindor. 00:14:53.966 --> 00:14:56.908 And since May 18th, in 61 games, 00:14:56.947 --> 00:15:00.296 he's hit just under .300. 00:14:58.009 --> 00:15:03.057 929 OPS, 15 home runs, 45 runs scored, 00:15:03.057 --> 00:15:05.778 41 RBIs, 15 stolen bases. 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:07.801 The more so question from 00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:08.600 transitioning from the 00:15:08.681 --> 00:15:10.442 Yankees is the other team in New York, 00:15:11.361 --> 00:15:11.802 the Mets, 00:15:12.403 --> 00:15:15.284 and they are currently in the 00:15:15.365 --> 00:15:16.365 final playoff spot. 00:15:18.145 --> 00:15:19.986 Is this team good enough to 00:15:20.006 --> 00:15:20.668 make the playoffs? 00:15:20.807 --> 00:15:21.488 And also, 00:15:22.568 --> 00:15:23.989 I know Otani is having the season 00:15:24.028 --> 00:15:25.129 he's having and 00:15:25.330 --> 00:15:26.630 realistically should be the 00:15:26.691 --> 00:15:27.671 National League MVP. 00:15:28.392 --> 00:15:28.552 Yep. 00:15:29.283 --> 00:15:30.563 But should Francisco Lindor 00:15:30.583 --> 00:15:31.124 start to be in the 00:15:31.163 --> 00:15:32.184 conversation a little bit? 00:15:35.745 --> 00:15:39.265 So I'm thinking about 00:15:39.346 --> 00:15:41.206 National League in general, right? 00:15:43.126 --> 00:15:43.886 Obviously, 00:15:44.628 --> 00:15:47.727 the loud noise in the room is Shohei, 00:15:49.208 --> 00:15:50.129 which rightfully so. 00:15:51.028 --> 00:15:52.089 But after that, 00:15:52.469 --> 00:15:54.570 if the Mets were to make the playoffs... 00:15:57.538 --> 00:15:58.739 you've got a pretty strong 00:15:58.798 --> 00:16:02.500 case if Lindor getting at 00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:04.561 least consideration and a 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:06.142 good chunk of some votes. 00:16:06.182 --> 00:16:06.642 I don't think, 00:16:06.741 --> 00:16:08.543 I think unfortunately due to, 00:16:08.562 --> 00:16:12.024 I think due to what 00:16:12.325 --> 00:16:15.667 baseball is trying to do and everything. 00:16:16.366 --> 00:16:16.586 Yeah. 00:16:18.087 --> 00:16:18.388 And again, 00:16:18.408 --> 00:16:19.587 I'm not saying that to take 00:16:19.648 --> 00:16:20.749 anything away from him, 00:16:22.110 --> 00:16:23.250 but at the same time, 00:16:24.370 --> 00:16:25.270 what you're saying about 00:16:25.311 --> 00:16:27.111 Lindor is valid because, 00:16:28.139 --> 00:16:30.182 He's got the different stats to back it up, 00:16:30.221 --> 00:16:31.102 and he's doing everything. 00:16:31.903 --> 00:16:33.804 And Ohtani's got the Dodgers. 00:16:33.845 --> 00:16:34.865 We all came into the season 00:16:34.885 --> 00:16:35.927 and saw their roster. 00:16:35.947 --> 00:16:36.466 That's loaded. 00:16:36.486 --> 00:16:39.089 101, 100 wins. 00:16:39.109 --> 00:16:42.831 Realistically, as we're watching it now, 00:16:42.871 --> 00:16:43.913 when we're in the end of 00:16:43.932 --> 00:16:45.073 July heading into August in 00:16:45.094 --> 00:16:45.715 the stretch run, 00:16:45.735 --> 00:16:47.216 the bottom half of that 00:16:47.255 --> 00:16:49.357 lineup isn't that great. 00:16:49.758 --> 00:16:50.698 Look at the moves they're making. 00:16:51.929 --> 00:16:53.792 That kind of, to me, says, okay, 00:16:53.812 --> 00:16:54.611 it is Otani's. 00:16:54.692 --> 00:16:56.033 But realistically, 00:16:56.092 --> 00:16:57.333 if all the names produced 00:16:57.374 --> 00:16:58.534 and they did what everybody 00:16:58.575 --> 00:16:59.895 expected them to do for 100 wins, 00:16:59.956 --> 00:17:01.736 then they still might get there. 00:17:02.597 --> 00:17:04.980 But in the day, like, you know, 00:17:06.141 --> 00:17:07.241 that lineup doing what they're doing, 00:17:07.281 --> 00:17:08.422 if they were where they're 00:17:08.481 --> 00:17:09.943 at and not going to reach 100 wins, 00:17:10.604 --> 00:17:11.605 you got Lindor climbing 00:17:11.625 --> 00:17:12.846 into the factor and doing 00:17:12.885 --> 00:17:13.786 what he's doing for a team 00:17:13.806 --> 00:17:15.647 that nobody had made in the playoffs. 00:17:17.308 --> 00:17:17.909 What's he doing? 00:17:19.210 --> 00:17:19.851 Two ways, though. 00:17:20.689 --> 00:17:22.250 He's not the DH of the Mets. 00:17:23.130 --> 00:17:24.971 He's also doing it daily in the field. 00:17:27.113 --> 00:17:29.213 I think too often that gets 00:17:29.334 --> 00:17:32.336 overlooked because he's got 00:17:32.415 --> 00:17:37.018 to focus on everything. 00:17:38.479 --> 00:17:40.359 Gold gloves to me is a great thing, 00:17:42.461 --> 00:17:43.442 but at the same time, 00:17:43.501 --> 00:17:45.522 it also takes away from the MVP talk. 00:17:45.563 --> 00:17:46.784 It's almost like in football, 00:17:47.223 --> 00:17:48.565 a defensive player can be 00:17:48.664 --> 00:17:49.965 the best player in football, but 00:17:50.674 --> 00:17:51.154 MVP? 00:17:51.474 --> 00:17:54.317 Nah, never really in consideration. 00:17:54.876 --> 00:17:56.837 And in this case here with these two, 00:17:57.157 --> 00:17:58.679 Lindor and Otani, 00:17:59.419 --> 00:18:01.840 Otani's offensive numbers stand out. 00:18:01.941 --> 00:18:04.422 Power numbers are there above and beyond. 00:18:04.842 --> 00:18:06.803 But Lindor's aren't that far 00:18:07.002 --> 00:18:08.683 off with as you take it as a whole. 00:18:09.545 --> 00:18:10.365 But then you put in the 00:18:10.424 --> 00:18:12.046 piece that he's playing great defense. 00:18:13.634 --> 00:18:14.855 You can easily make a case 00:18:15.355 --> 00:18:18.416 for Lindor to get votes and 00:18:18.537 --> 00:18:21.676 finish high in the MVP voting, you know, 00:18:22.417 --> 00:18:23.478 knowing that the percentage 00:18:23.538 --> 00:18:25.137 of votes are where they're going to end, 00:18:25.238 --> 00:18:25.939 but still. 00:18:25.959 --> 00:18:27.838 Right now he's third on 00:18:27.858 --> 00:18:30.039 DraftKings for the favorite to win MVP. 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:30.940 Who's number two? 00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:31.960 Bryce Harper. 00:18:33.161 --> 00:18:33.461 Hmm. 00:18:35.661 --> 00:18:36.842 Which, again, I can't disagree with, 00:18:36.902 --> 00:18:38.221 but it goes to the conversation of, 00:18:38.241 --> 00:18:38.622 like I said, 00:18:38.662 --> 00:18:40.323 with the Dodgers of it's 00:18:40.343 --> 00:18:41.123 another team you expect to 00:18:41.143 --> 00:18:41.702 make the playoffs. 00:18:42.597 --> 00:18:43.558 To me, it's somebody that, like, 00:18:43.638 --> 00:18:44.940 who's the leader of a team 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:46.580 that you didn't expect to 00:18:46.621 --> 00:18:47.082 make the playoffs? 00:18:47.122 --> 00:18:49.502 Now, granted, you look at the Yankees, 00:18:50.284 --> 00:18:51.525 we both, I don't think, 00:18:51.565 --> 00:18:52.546 had them make the playoffs. 00:18:52.645 --> 00:18:53.685 A lot of people did, 00:18:53.826 --> 00:18:54.527 had them finishing right 00:18:54.547 --> 00:18:55.768 there with the Orioles for the division. 00:18:56.749 --> 00:18:57.509 Judge is the runaway 00:18:57.548 --> 00:18:58.269 favorite right now for the 00:18:58.289 --> 00:18:58.849 American League. 00:19:00.351 --> 00:19:02.373 So, you know, 00:19:02.452 --> 00:19:05.035 it's a tough conversation to have. 00:19:05.474 --> 00:19:06.276 But I think he needs to 00:19:06.316 --> 00:19:07.195 start being talked about. 00:19:08.037 --> 00:19:08.237 You know, 00:19:08.257 --> 00:19:09.617 we had the conversation for the 00:19:09.698 --> 00:19:10.278 All-Star game. 00:19:10.979 --> 00:19:13.220 where Alonzo was the 00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:14.319 representative for the Mets, 00:19:14.539 --> 00:19:16.300 and I went on my tangent 00:19:16.320 --> 00:19:18.342 about how this should have been Lindor. 00:19:19.541 --> 00:19:19.761 You know, 00:19:19.781 --> 00:19:21.242 people can also say Brandon Nimmo, 00:19:22.262 --> 00:19:24.403 but Lindor's having a better season. 00:19:24.523 --> 00:19:26.403 And Lindor's numbers, 00:19:26.664 --> 00:19:27.865 that's the stats I gave 00:19:27.904 --> 00:19:30.705 from May 18th to now, you know, 00:19:31.846 --> 00:19:33.386 he is carrying the team. 00:19:35.191 --> 00:19:36.271 He had a terrible April, 00:19:36.531 --> 00:19:37.472 wasn't talked about much, 00:19:37.792 --> 00:19:38.452 and all of a sudden May 00:19:38.633 --> 00:19:39.973 18th hits and he turns things around. 00:19:39.993 --> 00:19:40.954 He's having a great season. 00:19:42.076 --> 00:19:43.096 Realistically, he's hitting, 00:19:43.217 --> 00:19:44.436 even with that bad April, 00:19:45.018 --> 00:19:48.039 he's hitting .255 with an .807 OPS, 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.142 27 doubles, 22 home runs, 62 RBIs, 00:19:51.142 --> 00:19:52.843 70 runs scored, 21 stolen bases, 00:19:52.883 --> 00:19:53.544 and 40 walks. 00:19:55.605 --> 00:19:56.506 That's entering tonight. 00:19:56.726 --> 00:20:00.147 I really think if you see 00:20:00.188 --> 00:20:04.230 the Mets creep in and get in, he's... 00:20:07.381 --> 00:20:09.402 all around he's definitely 00:20:09.442 --> 00:20:11.382 there because both harper's 00:20:11.422 --> 00:20:12.663 been playing a lot of dh 00:20:12.722 --> 00:20:15.003 too right and first mostly 00:20:15.044 --> 00:20:15.864 first because schwarber's 00:20:15.903 --> 00:20:17.903 dh ah that's right sure 00:20:17.944 --> 00:20:19.944 yeah that's right so and 00:20:19.964 --> 00:20:21.246 that's right reese hoskins 00:20:21.365 --> 00:20:24.166 is is in milwaukee so you 00:20:24.207 --> 00:20:26.527 know for me I i get the 00:20:26.567 --> 00:20:28.488 three I just don't think 00:20:28.548 --> 00:20:29.448 lindor is going to get the 00:20:29.508 --> 00:20:31.169 credit due for the year 00:20:31.189 --> 00:20:34.509 he's having unfortunately so 00:20:36.953 --> 00:20:38.114 With that all being said, 00:20:39.295 --> 00:20:41.295 and we can give a quick 00:20:41.375 --> 00:20:42.915 rundown and stop me, 00:20:42.996 --> 00:20:44.076 interrupt me at any point 00:20:44.096 --> 00:20:45.317 in time with these 00:20:45.436 --> 00:20:46.537 standings update that I'm 00:20:46.557 --> 00:20:48.758 going to give that you 00:20:48.817 --> 00:20:50.218 helped you put together. 00:20:50.278 --> 00:20:51.657 But if there's anything that stands out, 00:20:52.259 --> 00:20:52.699 stop me. 00:20:53.358 --> 00:20:54.118 So we're going to go through 00:20:54.159 --> 00:20:57.140 the standings division leaders first. 00:20:57.180 --> 00:20:59.121 The Phillies are safe right now. 00:20:59.181 --> 00:21:00.661 They have a eight and a half 00:21:00.721 --> 00:21:03.142 game lead in the American League East. 00:21:04.041 --> 00:21:05.222 The Brewers currently have a 00:21:05.323 --> 00:21:07.144 six-game lead in the 00:21:07.365 --> 00:21:08.326 National League Central. 00:21:09.006 --> 00:21:09.946 The Dodgers have a 00:21:10.086 --> 00:21:14.510 six-and-a-half game lead in the NL West. 00:21:16.092 --> 00:21:17.553 In the American League East, 00:21:17.593 --> 00:21:19.214 the Orioles have a one-game 00:21:19.275 --> 00:21:20.695 lead over the New York Yankees, 00:21:20.756 --> 00:21:21.576 previously mentioned. 00:21:22.537 --> 00:21:24.239 The Cleveland Guardians have 00:21:24.278 --> 00:21:25.740 a four-and-a-half game lead 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:26.760 in the American League 00:21:26.820 --> 00:21:29.182 Central over the Minnesota Twins. 00:21:29.929 --> 00:21:31.049 And then out west, 00:21:31.569 --> 00:21:33.471 which could very well be 00:21:34.250 --> 00:21:35.132 one of the funnest, 00:21:35.231 --> 00:21:37.032 other than the American League East, 00:21:37.692 --> 00:21:39.273 division battles to watch 00:21:39.334 --> 00:21:41.315 will be Houston and Seattle tied, 00:21:41.434 --> 00:21:42.695 both making moves, 00:21:42.736 --> 00:21:44.196 which we'll get to in a little bit. 00:21:44.797 --> 00:21:45.917 But that's going to be a fun 00:21:46.018 --> 00:21:47.159 one to watch to see what 00:21:47.199 --> 00:21:48.818 plays out there in the west, 00:21:48.858 --> 00:21:50.760 to see who can hold on and 00:21:50.800 --> 00:21:52.642 who ends up taking that division. 00:21:54.301 --> 00:21:55.903 In the National League wildcard, 00:21:55.942 --> 00:21:58.744 the Braves are one and a half game up. 00:21:59.431 --> 00:22:00.790 Then you've got the Padres. 00:22:03.531 --> 00:22:04.011 Wait a minute. 00:22:04.152 --> 00:22:08.133 Is that... Just one second. 00:22:08.732 --> 00:22:10.353 That's from the... I believe 00:22:10.393 --> 00:22:11.394 the first team out. 00:22:12.273 --> 00:22:12.554 Yep. 00:22:12.693 --> 00:22:14.153 So I'm just pulling it up 00:22:14.253 --> 00:22:16.194 here from my own knowledge 00:22:16.214 --> 00:22:18.035 to make sure that I'm not screwing up. 00:22:18.714 --> 00:22:20.855 So the Braves are a game and 00:22:20.875 --> 00:22:23.076 a half up with the first wild card. 00:22:23.576 --> 00:22:25.175 The Padres are a half game 00:22:25.276 --> 00:22:27.076 up with the fifth spot. 00:22:27.356 --> 00:22:27.457 And... 00:22:28.834 --> 00:22:31.795 The Mets hold the last place 00:22:31.954 --> 00:22:32.974 in the playoffs right now. 00:22:33.434 --> 00:22:34.796 They hold a game and a half 00:22:34.955 --> 00:22:37.556 or a half game lead over the Diamondbacks, 00:22:38.017 --> 00:22:39.356 but they have a game in hand. 00:22:40.096 --> 00:22:42.917 And then the Cardinals have 00:22:42.938 --> 00:22:44.077 a game in hand with the 00:22:44.137 --> 00:22:45.739 Mets and are one game back. 00:22:45.798 --> 00:22:48.038 And then Pittsburgh has a 00:22:48.118 --> 00:22:50.279 couple games in hand and 00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:51.339 are two games back. 00:22:51.840 --> 00:22:53.361 The Giants are three and a half back. 00:22:53.902 --> 00:22:55.042 Then you've got the Cubs at 00:22:55.123 --> 00:22:57.644 five and Cincinnati at five games back, 00:22:57.683 --> 00:22:58.904 and the Nationals are six 00:22:58.924 --> 00:23:00.006 and a half games back. 00:23:00.605 --> 00:23:03.087 I think realistically it 00:23:03.107 --> 00:23:04.749 will come down to the first 00:23:04.808 --> 00:23:07.049 three teams mentioned, the Diamondbacks, 00:23:07.650 --> 00:23:10.051 Cardinals, and Pittsburgh. 00:23:10.112 --> 00:23:11.532 The Giants aren't that far back, 00:23:11.633 --> 00:23:14.013 but unless they do something. 00:23:14.473 --> 00:23:15.714 They're moving snow from 00:23:15.755 --> 00:23:16.496 what it sounds like. 00:23:16.675 --> 00:23:20.317 Okay, so we'll get to that in the trade. 00:23:21.396 --> 00:23:22.337 piece next. 00:23:23.258 --> 00:23:25.398 And I want to get your 00:23:25.499 --> 00:23:26.920 opinion on that in regards 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:30.142 to when we get to that. 00:23:30.662 --> 00:23:32.202 I'll finish the American 00:23:32.242 --> 00:23:34.023 League wild card and then 00:23:34.044 --> 00:23:36.246 we'll get into these trades. 00:23:36.346 --> 00:23:36.986 But right now, 00:23:37.866 --> 00:23:38.967 the Yankees have a four and 00:23:38.987 --> 00:23:41.048 a half game lead over the 00:23:41.087 --> 00:23:42.409 first wild card spot. 00:23:42.608 --> 00:23:44.470 The Twins have a two game 00:23:44.529 --> 00:23:46.310 lead in the fifth spot. 00:23:46.330 --> 00:23:48.792 And Kansas City currently 00:23:49.829 --> 00:23:52.070 has the last spot in the playoffs. 00:23:52.211 --> 00:23:53.131 With that said, 00:23:54.290 --> 00:23:56.652 Boston is a game behind Kansas City, 00:23:57.051 --> 00:23:58.792 but they have two games in hand. 00:23:59.972 --> 00:24:01.594 Then you have Seattle a game 00:24:01.614 --> 00:24:02.433 and a half back, 00:24:03.074 --> 00:24:04.694 which would mean the Astros 00:24:04.734 --> 00:24:07.394 are also a game and a half back, 00:24:07.414 --> 00:24:08.855 and they both have 00:24:11.876 --> 00:24:14.798 they played one more game than Kansas City, 00:24:15.318 --> 00:24:15.999 both teams. 00:24:16.699 --> 00:24:18.220 Tampa Bay is three games 00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:21.361 back with the moves they're making. 00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:22.821 I would assume that they're 00:24:23.682 --> 00:24:25.363 okay if a miracle happens, 00:24:25.462 --> 00:24:29.664 but I think they're retooling, I guess, 00:24:29.845 --> 00:24:32.105 and resetting for 2025. 00:24:32.105 --> 00:24:33.346 And then you've got Detroit 00:24:33.645 --> 00:24:34.747 at five and a half and then 00:24:34.807 --> 00:24:36.186 Texas at six games and 00:24:36.227 --> 00:24:37.387 everyone else below is 00:24:37.988 --> 00:24:39.249 already moving pieces. 00:24:39.449 --> 00:24:39.689 So 00:24:40.781 --> 00:24:42.625 The playoff picture is 00:24:42.664 --> 00:24:43.807 starting to take shape. 00:24:43.866 --> 00:24:45.609 I think over the next couple of weeks, 00:24:45.670 --> 00:24:48.555 we'll see that final wildcard spot. 00:24:48.575 --> 00:24:49.817 You may see some people jump. 00:24:50.487 --> 00:24:52.367 jumping in levels in regards 00:24:52.428 --> 00:24:54.989 to the the fourth fifth and sixth spot, 00:24:55.148 --> 00:24:56.148 but it's gonna be 00:24:56.209 --> 00:24:57.190 interesting to watch and 00:24:57.210 --> 00:24:58.971 I'm really Interested and 00:24:59.050 --> 00:25:01.051 tuned in to the American 00:25:01.092 --> 00:25:03.512 League West with the Astros 00:25:03.813 --> 00:25:04.873 and Mariners right now 00:25:04.893 --> 00:25:05.894 because they both have made 00:25:05.953 --> 00:25:07.794 moves Which we'll get to 00:25:07.894 --> 00:25:09.234 but it's gonna be a fun 00:25:09.375 --> 00:25:11.375 stretch if you will to see 00:25:11.415 --> 00:25:13.436 what happens anything 00:25:15.911 --> 00:25:17.192 Is there any team that you 00:25:17.231 --> 00:25:19.132 see in these wildcard races 00:25:19.251 --> 00:25:21.272 that are further back than, say, 00:25:21.932 --> 00:25:24.314 three games that you'd be like, yep, 00:25:24.374 --> 00:25:25.355 I can see that happening, 00:25:25.394 --> 00:25:27.035 them sneaking in and grabbing, like, 00:25:27.075 --> 00:25:27.875 the sixth spot? 00:25:28.615 --> 00:25:29.655 Anybody really in the 00:25:29.695 --> 00:25:30.635 National League wildcard. 00:25:31.376 --> 00:25:31.576 Yep. 00:25:32.836 --> 00:25:33.738 Any of those teams. 00:25:34.538 --> 00:25:34.798 You know, 00:25:34.877 --> 00:25:36.179 it's the Pirates have the 00:25:36.219 --> 00:25:36.939 pitching to get there. 00:25:37.138 --> 00:25:38.519 We talk about that almost all the time. 00:25:38.699 --> 00:25:39.359 Jared Jones, 00:25:39.539 --> 00:25:41.119 I haven't seen any update on him. 00:25:41.140 --> 00:25:41.200 But... 00:25:43.365 --> 00:25:44.125 Again, at the end of the day, 00:25:44.145 --> 00:25:45.406 I think Passon put it out 00:25:45.446 --> 00:25:46.426 yesterday or two days ago 00:25:46.487 --> 00:25:47.268 or something like that, 00:25:47.867 --> 00:25:48.949 where the Pirates are like 00:25:48.989 --> 00:25:50.809 his sneak pick to get in on 00:25:50.849 --> 00:25:52.010 the lines of they're going 00:25:52.030 --> 00:25:54.192 to be scary with Jones, Skeens, 00:25:54.292 --> 00:25:55.334 and Keller. 00:25:56.013 --> 00:25:56.734 That's one team. 00:25:56.775 --> 00:25:57.955 The Diamondbacks, you know, 00:25:57.996 --> 00:25:59.396 they're making some quiet moves. 00:26:00.037 --> 00:26:01.758 The Cardinals, they made a move today, 00:26:01.778 --> 00:26:02.479 which we'll get to. 00:26:04.881 --> 00:26:05.881 The Giants are an iffy one 00:26:05.921 --> 00:26:06.541 at three and a half. 00:26:06.582 --> 00:26:07.803 Like we said, we'll get to that one. 00:26:08.549 --> 00:26:09.750 And then the American League wildcard, 00:26:09.789 --> 00:26:13.730 that Seattle, Houston, Boston, Minnesota, 00:26:13.770 --> 00:26:15.411 Kansas City race is a lot of fun. 00:26:16.751 --> 00:26:18.372 As a Red Sox fan, I really, obviously, 00:26:18.412 --> 00:26:19.632 I'm hoping the Red Sox get in. 00:26:20.393 --> 00:26:23.712 But, I mean, thankfully right now, 00:26:23.732 --> 00:26:25.213 a big series, 00:26:26.094 --> 00:26:27.173 I think the next two weeks 00:26:27.213 --> 00:26:28.294 for the Red Sox is going to 00:26:28.614 --> 00:26:29.674 tell you everything you need to know. 00:26:30.315 --> 00:26:30.555 Correct. 00:26:30.595 --> 00:26:31.095 I agree with that. 00:26:32.651 --> 00:26:33.352 Seattle tonight, 00:26:33.451 --> 00:26:35.032 I think they got Texas and 00:26:35.093 --> 00:26:37.794 then I believe Kansas or Houston, 00:26:37.814 --> 00:26:40.115 then Kansas City, then Texas again. 00:26:40.134 --> 00:26:42.416 That Kansas City series 00:26:42.477 --> 00:26:43.257 could be a key one. 00:26:43.636 --> 00:26:43.836 Yep. 00:26:44.038 --> 00:26:45.637 Depending on how both teams play. 00:26:46.298 --> 00:26:47.118 All of them are right there 00:26:47.159 --> 00:26:48.119 because I guess we just 00:26:48.140 --> 00:26:49.240 said Seattle and Houston 00:26:49.259 --> 00:26:50.280 tied one and a half back. 00:26:51.005 --> 00:26:52.066 So you're, 00:26:52.086 --> 00:26:55.827 I think what you're facing six games, 00:26:55.847 --> 00:26:56.748 I think they have for those 00:26:56.768 --> 00:26:57.749 two between those two. 00:26:58.588 --> 00:27:00.250 So you really think about who the Rangers, 00:27:00.529 --> 00:27:02.151 you know, the Rangers are further back, 00:27:02.250 --> 00:27:03.852 but they're getting healthier. 00:27:03.991 --> 00:27:05.633 And if they're playing weaker competition, 00:27:05.653 --> 00:27:06.432 while the rest of these 00:27:06.512 --> 00:27:07.894 guys that are fighting are 00:27:07.933 --> 00:27:08.674 battling it out, 00:27:08.734 --> 00:27:09.714 they could creep up and 00:27:09.734 --> 00:27:10.756 make it closer too. 00:27:10.776 --> 00:27:12.616 So it's going to be very interesting. 00:27:12.636 --> 00:27:14.178 There's a, there's a lot of stuff here. 00:27:14.218 --> 00:27:18.680 I think there's only Jesus is only really, 00:27:20.617 --> 00:27:21.178 Looking at it, 00:27:21.198 --> 00:27:22.439 there's only two divisions 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:25.780 in all of baseball that I 00:27:25.840 --> 00:27:28.282 think probably won't change, 00:27:28.323 --> 00:27:30.223 and that's the Phillies and the Dodgers. 00:27:31.411 --> 00:27:33.711 any other division even with 00:27:33.731 --> 00:27:35.512 the Brewers at six games I 00:27:35.573 --> 00:27:37.232 think given the recent news 00:27:37.292 --> 00:27:39.054 and them being very quiet 00:27:39.094 --> 00:27:40.334 at the deadline to this 00:27:40.413 --> 00:27:43.315 point I think they're the 00:27:43.375 --> 00:27:44.976 only two the Guardians have 00:27:45.016 --> 00:27:46.036 a four and a half game lead 00:27:46.076 --> 00:27:47.297 and seem to continue to 00:27:47.977 --> 00:27:49.698 keep that at the Twins at 00:27:49.857 --> 00:27:52.199 bay but there's a lot of 00:27:52.239 --> 00:27:53.338 divisions that are still up 00:27:53.358 --> 00:27:56.700 for grabs and that's good 00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:59.141 for baseball very good for baseball 00:28:00.768 --> 00:28:02.490 perfect so before we get 00:28:02.569 --> 00:28:05.392 into what's going on you 00:28:05.432 -->

what we need and 00:29:31.848 --> 00:29:32.848 what would be a best fit. 00:29:33.068 --> 00:29:35.049 So, all right. 00:29:36.430 --> 00:29:37.289 We've touched about it 00:29:37.329 --> 00:29:38.430 briefly and I can't get it 00:29:38.509 --> 00:29:39.089 out of my head. 00:29:40.270 --> 00:29:42.391 The Dodgers made two moves. 00:29:43.362 --> 00:29:45.723 Today alone, they got Rosario, 00:29:46.223 --> 00:29:47.565 who's played short for them before. 00:29:47.605 --> 00:29:48.846 He also played second for 00:29:48.865 --> 00:29:50.647 them before last year when 00:29:50.688 --> 00:29:51.969 he came over from the Guardians. 00:29:52.568 --> 00:29:54.990 You've got Mookie Betts, who's banged up, 00:29:55.750 --> 00:29:56.791 who's been playing short. 00:29:57.573 --> 00:29:58.953 Then they made a trade with 00:29:58.973 --> 00:30:00.575 the Cardinals earlier today 00:30:02.757 --> 00:30:03.857 in that three-team trade. 00:30:03.998 --> 00:30:04.998 They got Tommy Edmond, 00:30:05.558 --> 00:30:07.319 and they got Michael 00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:09.741 Kopchak from the White Sox. 00:30:10.803 --> 00:30:12.044 In a perfect world... 00:30:13.431 --> 00:30:15.372 If you've got Betts healthy, 00:30:16.073 --> 00:30:16.792 Edmund healthy, 00:30:16.833 --> 00:30:18.934 and obviously I'm going to leave Lux out, 00:30:19.375 --> 00:30:21.737 but you've got Rosario healthy. 00:30:22.836 --> 00:30:23.958 Do they look at their 00:30:24.018 --> 00:30:25.459 outfield right now and be like, 00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:26.720 our best bet is moving 00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:28.060 Mookie back out to center. 00:30:28.540 --> 00:30:31.343 Let Rosario and Edmund play up the middle. 00:30:32.083 --> 00:30:34.085 Or do you just let Edmund and he... 00:30:36.056 --> 00:30:37.497 I'm not sure if he's played 00:30:37.957 --> 00:30:40.519 yet this year or if he just came back, 00:30:41.019 --> 00:30:42.160 but he's banged up too. 00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:43.720 So they're getting someone in. 00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:45.580 I don't know his contract details, 00:30:45.701 --> 00:30:47.702 but it would be very interesting. 00:30:47.762 --> 00:30:48.803 It's going to be very 00:30:48.863 --> 00:30:49.743 interesting to see what 00:30:49.784 --> 00:30:52.625 happens out in Los Angeles 00:30:52.684 --> 00:30:53.586 in regards to how they 00:30:53.685 --> 00:30:54.686 utilize these assets. 00:30:54.727 --> 00:30:57.048 You mentioned it earlier about Kike. 00:30:57.788 --> 00:30:58.548 And to me, 00:31:00.150 --> 00:31:03.119 you only move Kike if you know 100%. 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:04.319 The Edmonds coming back 00:31:04.380 --> 00:31:06.601 within the next 14 days. 00:31:07.340 --> 00:31:08.281 Betts is healthy. 00:31:08.922 --> 00:31:11.221 But even so, at this rate, 00:31:11.442 --> 00:31:12.823 are you going to get a 00:31:13.883 --> 00:31:17.183 prospect now for Kike that 00:31:17.203 --> 00:31:18.644 you couldn't get in the offseason? 00:31:19.244 --> 00:31:19.404 No. 00:31:20.105 --> 00:31:20.845 You know what I mean? 00:31:20.865 --> 00:31:22.865 So when you mentioned that, I was like, 00:31:22.925 --> 00:31:23.425 yeah, 00:31:23.465 --> 00:31:26.606 that can make sense if and only if 00:31:26.666 --> 00:31:27.747 these guys are healthy. 00:31:27.987 --> 00:31:30.428 And it also makes you wonder, 00:31:31.167 --> 00:31:32.009 what do they know about 00:31:32.088 --> 00:31:32.949 Betts that we don't? 00:31:33.415 --> 00:31:33.615 Right. 00:31:34.336 --> 00:31:36.517 I mean, Muncy's on the 60-day IL, 00:31:36.957 --> 00:31:38.656 so Kike's realistically 00:31:38.717 --> 00:31:39.856 could be the third baseman. 00:31:40.718 --> 00:31:41.917 The other interesting thing, too, 00:31:41.938 --> 00:31:43.897 is so you just said they got Rosario, 00:31:43.958 --> 00:31:47.118 they got Edmund, but Kevin Biggio, 00:31:47.679 --> 00:31:48.499 they have Nick Ahmed. 00:31:49.740 --> 00:31:51.700 So there's definitely something going on, 00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:51.980 I think, 00:31:52.019 --> 00:31:53.119 with Mookie that we don't know 00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.661 about that they're just 00:31:55.721 --> 00:31:56.540 addressing the infield 00:31:56.560 --> 00:31:57.881 because the outfield isn't that bad. 00:31:57.961 --> 00:31:58.820 Hayward's been okay. 00:31:59.362 --> 00:32:01.162 Teoscar is having a great season. 00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:03.643 And Andy pages is not too 00:32:03.663 --> 00:32:04.483 bad in center field. 00:32:04.884 --> 00:32:08.108 So, I mean, they're okay in the outfield. 00:32:08.490 --> 00:32:09.330 And again, at the end of the day, 00:32:09.351 --> 00:32:10.992 you can put, it has been great. 00:32:11.012 --> 00:32:12.174 You can put out and out there. 00:32:12.978 --> 00:32:14.377 You can also put Kike out there. 00:32:15.439 --> 00:32:16.239 Chris Taylor's hurt. 00:32:16.318 --> 00:32:17.358 Miguel Rojas is hurt. 00:32:17.378 --> 00:32:18.459 So those two names that, 00:32:19.499 --> 00:32:20.420 like I said with Mookie, 00:32:20.660 --> 00:32:23.059 are they just more hurt than we thought? 00:32:26.181 --> 00:32:28.040 And I don't know enough 00:32:28.121 --> 00:32:29.661 about Ahmad Rosario. 00:32:29.701 --> 00:32:31.241 I know in the past he's been 00:32:31.442 --> 00:32:32.801 strictly a middle infielder. 00:32:33.602 --> 00:32:35.722 And I know that if Gavin Lux 00:32:35.782 --> 00:32:37.262 can't make the throw from short, 00:32:37.282 --> 00:32:38.863 he sure as shit ain't moving to third. 00:32:39.682 --> 00:32:41.824 So in Edmond, I don't believe... 00:32:43.169 --> 00:32:44.190 I know he's played second, 00:32:44.230 --> 00:32:45.029 I know he's played short, 00:32:45.069 --> 00:32:45.809 and I know he's played out 00:32:45.829 --> 00:32:46.330 in the outfield. 00:32:46.371 --> 00:32:48.231 I don't believe he's ever played third. 00:32:49.031 --> 00:32:51.452 I don't believe. 00:32:51.472 --> 00:32:52.213 He might have. 00:32:52.973 --> 00:32:53.933 But I'm just thinking in 00:32:53.974 --> 00:32:55.654 regards to... Kevin Biggio 00:32:55.955 --> 00:32:57.635 is a nice depth piece. 00:32:58.037 --> 00:32:58.277 Yes. 00:32:58.636 --> 00:33:00.518 I'm a little shocked they 00:33:00.538 --> 00:33:01.698 didn't go after Justin Turner, 00:33:01.718 --> 00:33:02.259 to be honest. 00:33:02.598 --> 00:33:02.858 Same. 00:33:03.818 --> 00:33:04.779 You know, to play third. 00:33:04.819 --> 00:33:06.181 Because that seems to be a 00:33:06.260 --> 00:33:07.500 glaring hole right now. 00:33:08.422 --> 00:33:08.561 And... 00:33:09.403 --> 00:33:10.443 They seem to need some 00:33:10.503 --> 00:33:11.826 stability in that bottom 00:33:11.865 --> 00:33:12.605 half of the order. 00:33:13.326 --> 00:33:14.729 Turner batting seventh in 00:33:14.769 --> 00:33:17.250 that lineup changes some 00:33:17.310 --> 00:33:18.231 things in how it looks. 00:33:18.491 --> 00:33:19.053 It fits. 00:33:19.413 --> 00:33:20.934 He would be terrific there, 00:33:21.015 --> 00:33:23.237 but I'd be very interested. 00:33:23.978 --> 00:33:25.660 Edmund has played third base, 00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:26.820 94 games at third base. 00:33:27.582 --> 00:33:28.962 He just hasn't played at all this year, 00:33:29.163 --> 00:33:31.146 which is – 00:33:31.146 --> 00:33:32.208 Well, he hasn't played at all this year. 00:33:32.627 --> 00:33:37.432 In 2023, he played second, center, right. 00:33:39.894 --> 00:33:40.854 I think that's all I see. 00:33:40.933 --> 00:33:43.496 Second, center, right, and short. 00:33:43.636 --> 00:33:44.436 The last time he played 00:33:44.477 --> 00:33:47.759 third base was eight games in 2022. 00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:50.301 And he also played third base in 2020. 00:33:50.382 --> 00:33:52.803 He played 31 games of the 60 games there. 00:33:54.904 --> 00:33:56.486 And he came up as a third baseman in 2019, 00:33:56.486 --> 00:33:57.186 playing 55 games at third base. 00:34:01.690 --> 00:34:03.070 So they're definitely making 00:34:03.411 --> 00:34:05.073 some different moves to 00:34:05.732 --> 00:34:07.534 prepare themselves for whatever. 00:34:07.673 --> 00:34:14.298 But I really think it's 00:34:14.338 --> 00:34:16.161 going to be interesting to see. 00:34:16.981 --> 00:34:18.722 Hopefully Mookie comes back healthy. 00:34:19.503 --> 00:34:21.463 I would assume if that's the case, 00:34:21.503 --> 00:34:22.864 Rosario goes to second. 00:34:24.005 --> 00:34:25.887 But if Edmund comes back, 00:34:26.648 --> 00:34:27.208 which I haven't heard 00:34:27.268 --> 00:34:28.989 anything about him in regards to what 00:34:29.318 --> 00:34:30.978 what his timetable is that 00:34:31.018 --> 00:34:32.059 could have just been a move 00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:34.842 to a piece thrown in for 00:34:34.882 --> 00:34:36.842 them for next year at this 00:34:36.902 --> 00:34:38.043 rate or playoffs, you know, 00:34:41.365 --> 00:34:42.286 it'll be interesting. 00:34:42.407 --> 00:34:45.387 So with that said, 00:34:46.969 --> 00:34:47.869 let's talk about some of 00:34:47.889 --> 00:34:48.429 the other trades. 00:34:48.469 --> 00:34:50.030 We talked about the Dodgers trade. 00:34:50.090 --> 00:34:51.572 Why don't we finish out the, 00:34:52.172 --> 00:34:53.833 that three team deal where 00:34:53.994 --> 00:34:55.034 Vargas and two other 00:34:55.155 --> 00:34:56.695 prospects went to the 00:34:57.807 --> 00:34:59.449 white socks with cope check 00:34:59.489 --> 00:35:01.851 going to the dodgers and 00:35:01.891 --> 00:35:03.152 the cardinals ended up 00:35:03.192 --> 00:35:06.275 getting tommy pham and they 00:35:06.375 --> 00:35:09.597 received um eric friede 00:35:11.117 --> 00:35:12.378 well that's see that's the 00:35:12.398 --> 00:35:13.380 interesting move to me 00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:14.501 because eric fetty made 00:35:14.581 --> 00:35:15.742 sense to go to the brewers 00:35:16.461 --> 00:35:18.903 yep and the team that's 00:35:18.963 --> 00:35:19.644 chasing you in your 00:35:19.664 --> 00:35:20.826 division just swooped right 00:35:20.885 --> 00:35:23.527 in and got him in a three-team deal so 00:35:25.103 --> 00:35:25.342 you know, 00:35:25.382 --> 00:35:26.443 we talk about the struggles for 00:35:26.465 --> 00:35:27.284 the Cardinals right now, 00:35:27.344 --> 00:35:29.447 but that's a move that says 00:35:30.668 --> 00:35:31.909 we're taking away from you 00:35:32.471 --> 00:35:33.331 and he's going to benefit 00:35:33.532 --> 00:35:34.632 us and we're going to catch you. 00:35:35.994 --> 00:35:38.396 And that to me makes the conversation of, 00:35:38.577 --> 00:35:38.797 you know, 00:35:38.838 --> 00:35:39.599 we talked about the Brewers 00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:42.260 start the podcast and it's, 00:35:42.922 --> 00:35:44.563 if they Brewers don't do anything, 00:35:46.603 --> 00:35:48.884 Then the door is wide open for the other, 00:35:49.445 --> 00:35:50.724 really, I think the other four teams. 00:35:50.744 --> 00:35:52.206 Because even 11 games back, 00:35:53.226 --> 00:35:54.648 you're going to face each other. 00:35:54.967 --> 00:35:55.688 You're going to beat up on 00:35:55.728 --> 00:35:56.869 each other come September. 00:35:57.588 --> 00:35:58.769 It opens the door for everybody. 00:36:00.650 --> 00:36:02.052 I really like Tommy Pham going to St. 00:36:02.092 --> 00:36:02.452 Louis. 00:36:03.132 --> 00:36:05.873 And also, I saw this random stat today. 00:36:06.695 --> 00:36:08.835 Haim Bloom loves Tommy Pham. 00:36:09.436 --> 00:36:09.916 Yeah, he does. 00:36:10.496 --> 00:36:12.617 He acquired him when he was in Tampa. 00:36:12.637 --> 00:36:12.737 Yeah. 00:36:13.530 --> 00:36:14.289 He acquired him when he was 00:36:14.331 --> 00:36:15.050 with the Red Sox, 00:36:15.451 --> 00:36:16.331 and now even though he's 00:36:16.391 --> 00:36:21.235 not the chief baseball operations for St. 00:36:21.275 --> 00:36:23.416 Louis, they find a way to bring him to St. 00:36:23.436 --> 00:36:24.556 Louis where Haim Bloom is. 00:36:25.356 --> 00:36:25.516 Yep. 00:36:26.358 --> 00:36:28.838 So I like the interesting 00:36:28.858 --> 00:36:29.840 move I really like that I 00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:30.719 don't think it's talked 00:36:30.780 --> 00:36:31.900 about from that trade. 00:36:32.742 --> 00:36:34.342 Miguel Vargas to the White Sox. 00:36:35.903 --> 00:36:36.083 Yep. 00:36:36.824 --> 00:36:39.666 Is that a signal potentially 00:36:39.726 --> 00:36:41.467 Luis Robert being traded by tomorrow? 00:36:43.748 --> 00:36:45.130 There's a conversation being had, 00:36:45.170 --> 00:36:46.271 and Luis Robert is out. 00:36:47.132 --> 00:36:48.713 Now, I know Robert plays right. 00:36:49.713 --> 00:36:53.777 Miguel Vargas is usually this year. 00:36:53.797 --> 00:36:55.077 It seems like he played left field. 00:36:56.998 --> 00:36:59.021 But it's an outfield bat that is younger. 00:37:00.121 --> 00:37:01.322 I think he's younger than Robert. 00:37:01.362 --> 00:37:01.983 Robert is young. 00:37:03.443 --> 00:37:05.344 What if Robert ends up in Milwaukee? 00:37:08.126 --> 00:37:09.047 Now we open the door to 00:37:09.088 --> 00:37:09.809 conversation again. 00:37:10.028 --> 00:37:11.269 Milwaukee is a team again. 00:37:12.938 --> 00:37:13.358 They need it. 00:37:13.617 --> 00:37:15.318 So Milwaukee's in a phase 00:37:15.358 --> 00:37:16.659 where either they're going to do, 00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:19.460 they're going to do nothing and be like, 00:37:19.481 --> 00:37:19.860 Hey, look, 00:37:20.382 --> 00:37:21.541 we probably shouldn't have been 00:37:21.601 --> 00:37:22.242 here anyway. 00:37:22.603 --> 00:37:22.983 We've got a, 00:37:23.342 --> 00:37:24.923 we've got young pitching coming up. 00:37:26.585 --> 00:37:28.626 We've got some underperforming young guys. 00:37:29.246 --> 00:37:30.606 Do we want to take away from 00:37:30.666 --> 00:37:32.427 our core when we're not 00:37:32.487 --> 00:37:33.708 going to win the world series? 00:37:36.634 --> 00:37:37.835 Do they just stand pat, 00:37:37.875 --> 00:37:39.876 which I can see them almost 00:37:39.936 --> 00:37:41.237 doing something like that 00:37:41.297 --> 00:37:42.518 or doing something similar 00:37:42.557 --> 00:37:44.639 to what Tampa has done in the past, 00:37:45.641 --> 00:37:46.922 looking at let all the big 00:37:46.981 --> 00:37:49.324 guys go and start fishing 00:37:49.364 --> 00:37:51.985 in some smaller ponds to see if they, 00:37:52.146 --> 00:37:52.686 you know what I mean? 00:37:53.567 --> 00:37:54.987 But I think anything they do, 00:37:56.068 --> 00:38:00.592 I do not see Milwaukee going at, sorry, 00:38:00.612 --> 00:38:01.813 I do not see Milwaukee 00:38:01.853 --> 00:38:03.494 going after a rental. 00:38:05.137 --> 00:38:06.117 If they're going to give 00:38:06.217 --> 00:38:08.458 something up... Robert is younger. 00:38:09.297 --> 00:38:09.639 Yeah, 00:38:09.699 --> 00:38:12.519 so I think they'll be very calculated, 00:38:12.619 --> 00:38:13.260 see what they do, 00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:14.659 see what the asking price is, 00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:17.121 and grab pieces that are 00:38:18.121 --> 00:38:20.922 not just for this playoff stretch, 00:38:21.483 --> 00:38:23.402 potentially, but for next year. 00:38:23.443 --> 00:38:24.943 Because they do have the arms coming. 00:38:25.043 --> 00:38:26.804 You've mentioned Woodruff coming back. 00:38:26.864 --> 00:38:28.284 They still have Freddy Peralta. 00:38:28.704 --> 00:38:29.505 They have some of these 00:38:29.545 --> 00:38:31.045 young pitchers in the minors. 00:38:32.706 --> 00:38:33.606 It'll be interesting. 00:38:33.646 --> 00:38:34.306 But the Brewers... 00:38:34.934 --> 00:38:36.376 are a team for me that I'm 00:38:36.496 --> 00:38:37.518 watching because if they 00:38:37.539 --> 00:38:38.500 don't do anything, 00:38:39.561 --> 00:38:40.722 I think it could be almost 00:38:40.802 --> 00:38:42.505 just as good for them as if 00:38:42.545 --> 00:38:43.266 they went out and got 00:38:43.306 --> 00:38:45.929 something given in regard. 00:38:45.989 --> 00:38:46.250 I mean, 00:38:46.309 --> 00:38:48.112 they're very realistic organization 00:38:48.132 --> 00:38:48.994 of where they're going to be. 00:38:49.134 --> 00:38:50.856 So that'll be interesting. 00:38:51.496 --> 00:38:54.197 Some of the athletes are high, too. 00:38:54.338 --> 00:38:55.778 Yeah, right now, I'm sure. 00:38:55.798 --> 00:38:58.179 They don't want to move certain pieces. 00:38:58.500 --> 00:38:59.880 They like what they have in the system. 00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:01.780 We talk about Jacob Misurowski, 00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:03.222 we talk about Gasser. 00:39:03.242 --> 00:39:06.523 There are names like Tyler Black, 00:39:06.543 --> 00:39:09.403 who's made his debut this year. 00:39:09.824 --> 00:39:11.284 Teams asking for that, 00:39:11.445 --> 00:39:13.885 for guys that have control. 00:39:13.945 --> 00:39:15.065 Is that the thing they're looking for? 00:39:15.085 --> 00:39:15.967 Are they looking for names 00:39:16.007 --> 00:39:18.588 that have control for beyond this year? 00:39:19.572 --> 00:39:21.652 And obviously, if that's the case, 00:39:21.693 --> 00:39:23.972 then teams are coming and saying, hey, 00:39:24.034 --> 00:39:25.293 we want so-and-so, 00:39:25.393 --> 00:39:26.634 like a bigger name prospect. 00:39:26.673 --> 00:39:28.394 That's one thing with all these trades. 00:39:29.114 --> 00:39:32.516 You don't really see a top 00:39:32.516 --> 00:39:34.836 10 prospect being moved. 00:39:35.715 --> 00:39:36.916 except for I think the 00:39:36.956 --> 00:39:38.076 biggest one was yesterday 00:39:38.137 --> 00:39:39.436 was Jason Adam going to 00:39:39.496 --> 00:39:41.858 Tampa and the key piece going back, 00:39:41.878 --> 00:39:42.139 I mean, 00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:44.460 going from Tampa to San Diego and 00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:45.501 the key piece going to 00:39:45.541 --> 00:39:47.902 Tampa from that was Dylan Lesko, 00:39:47.961 --> 00:39:50.963 who was in the top 100 for ITD. 00:39:51.605 --> 00:39:52.125 So, I mean, 00:39:52.144 --> 00:39:55.047 I think that was the biggest 00:39:55.086 --> 00:39:57.268 name prospect-wise to be moved. 00:39:58.168 --> 00:39:58.409 Yep. 00:39:59.148 --> 00:40:01.369 And so that just goes to the asking part. 00:40:01.409 --> 00:40:02.210 So the relievers... 00:40:03.835 --> 00:40:06.518 are fetching the biggest prospect hall. 00:40:07.139 --> 00:40:08.840 Whereas the starting pitchers, the bats, 00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:09.780 they're not bringing in 00:40:09.820 --> 00:40:11.161 what you would expect them to bring in. 00:40:12.061 --> 00:40:12.222 No. 00:40:14.143 --> 00:40:16.065 So let's, uh, 00:40:16.385 --> 00:40:17.585 run down just a couple of 00:40:17.965 --> 00:40:18.847 others that have happened. 00:40:18.907 --> 00:40:19.666 Jazz Chisholm, 00:40:20.327 --> 00:40:21.889 who went to the Yankees and 00:40:21.949 --> 00:40:22.989 actually started at third 00:40:23.030 --> 00:40:24.710 base night and hit his home run. 00:40:24.931 --> 00:40:26.231 I believe that it was tonight. 00:40:27.393 --> 00:40:27.512 Um, 00:40:29.777 --> 00:40:31.860 Carlos Estevez has been 00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:34.282 traded this weekend to the Phillies. 00:40:34.742 --> 00:40:35.503 I think that makes the 00:40:35.543 --> 00:40:37.186 Phillies World Series favorites. 00:40:37.206 --> 00:40:37.186 100%. 00:40:37.646 --> 00:40:39.708 Because now they have the best bullpen, 00:40:39.949 --> 00:40:40.688 I think, in baseball, 00:40:40.989 --> 00:40:42.030 and they rank in the top in 00:40:42.070 --> 00:40:43.032 most of the categories. 00:40:43.512 --> 00:40:43.813 Yeah. 00:40:44.032 --> 00:40:45.173 They had, what, two, 00:40:45.353 --> 00:40:46.715 maybe three relievers named 00:40:46.735 --> 00:40:47.536 to the All-Star team? 00:40:48.217 --> 00:40:48.336 Yeah. 00:40:48.358 --> 00:40:49.277 In another trade we'll talk 00:40:49.298 --> 00:40:53.757 about in a minute, like, they moved – 00:40:53.757 --> 00:40:55.038 Sir Anthony Dominguez and 00:40:55.398 --> 00:40:57.539 Kristen Pache to Baltimore 00:40:58.079 --> 00:40:59.101 and got Austin Hayes. 00:40:59.661 --> 00:41:02.021 And Austin Hayes isn't anything special, 00:41:02.101 --> 00:41:03.603 but it's a piece in the 00:41:03.623 --> 00:41:05.123 outfit that they needed and 00:41:05.244 --> 00:41:05.965 has helped out. 00:41:06.644 --> 00:41:07.786 So I think realistically, 00:41:07.865 --> 00:41:08.925 if that's the two moves and 00:41:08.945 --> 00:41:09.927 that's it for the Phillies, 00:41:10.927 --> 00:41:13.329 that team is easily the favorite. 00:41:13.929 --> 00:41:15.369 He's definitely a defensive 00:41:15.449 --> 00:41:17.751 upgrade out in the outfield. 00:41:18.010 --> 00:41:19.692 He's not going to wow you, 00:41:19.771 --> 00:41:20.773 but he's not going to kill you. 00:41:21.474 --> 00:41:23.215 at the plate either, you know, 00:41:23.255 --> 00:41:24.115 bottom of the order. 00:41:24.135 --> 00:41:26.318 And I think obviously moving 00:41:26.418 --> 00:41:27.798 Sir Anthony Dominguez, 00:41:28.460 --> 00:41:30.161 you knew something else was coming, 00:41:30.740 --> 00:41:32.161 you know, but like you said, 00:41:32.181 --> 00:41:33.422 if you have a bullpen like 00:41:33.463 --> 00:41:34.804 that and you can afford to 00:41:34.885 --> 00:41:36.865 give up and make a swap to 00:41:36.905 --> 00:41:38.327 make your team better and 00:41:38.407 --> 00:41:40.369 not really damaging your team, 00:41:40.829 --> 00:41:42.369 and then to go out and get Estevez, 00:41:42.429 --> 00:41:42.951 basically, 00:41:44.601 --> 00:41:45.021 Look at it. 00:41:45.061 --> 00:41:46.202 You traded sir. 00:41:46.262 --> 00:41:48.224 Anthony Dominguez in a prospect, 00:41:48.543 --> 00:41:52.246 I believe for Austin Hayes 00:41:52.847 --> 00:41:54.829 and Carlos Estevez another 00:41:54.849 --> 00:41:55.949 prospect his passion. 00:41:55.989 --> 00:41:56.570 Oh, yeah a couple. 00:41:56.849 --> 00:41:58.550 Yeah, he's been around for a couple years. 00:41:58.570 --> 00:42:00.492 I think yeah posh a started 00:42:00.612 --> 00:42:02.373 he started with a He 00:42:02.393 --> 00:42:03.155 started with the Braves. 00:42:03.554 --> 00:42:03.675 Yeah, 00:42:03.695 --> 00:42:07.777 I think so so they they swapped some 00:42:07.797 --> 00:42:09.318 pieces around there and if 00:42:09.358 --> 00:42:10.420 you're a Phillies fan and 00:42:11.211 --> 00:42:12.592 You have to like what they're doing. 00:42:12.811 --> 00:42:15.253 They're not taken away from the future. 00:42:15.873 --> 00:42:17.054 You know, that's going to crush you. 00:42:17.074 --> 00:42:18.793 They're just continue to add. 00:42:19.173 --> 00:42:21.275 And because you got to think for them, too, 00:42:21.335 --> 00:42:22.534 they know just as well as 00:42:22.614 --> 00:42:24.235 anyone that what they're adding now, 00:42:24.735 --> 00:42:25.976 they're hoping helps them 00:42:26.255 --> 00:42:27.036 not just this year, 00:42:27.056 --> 00:42:28.016 but next year as well. 00:42:28.536 --> 00:42:29.177 It's a day because the 00:42:29.217 --> 00:42:30.217 Braves aren't going away. 00:42:31.478 --> 00:42:31.918 What he does, 00:42:31.978 --> 00:42:33.518 Dave Dombrowski just loves to 00:42:33.557 --> 00:42:35.818 sell prospects in both of these trades, 00:42:35.858 --> 00:42:37.639 which helped the Phillies big time. 00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:39.360 He's not getting any top 00:42:39.380 --> 00:42:40.539 prospects in Boston. 00:42:42.063 --> 00:42:43.824 People have to say all the 00:42:43.864 --> 00:42:44.985 time about the prospect 00:42:45.005 --> 00:42:45.907 system after he left, 00:42:45.987 --> 00:42:47.447 and he actually helped some prospects. 00:42:47.909 --> 00:42:50.311 Durant is one of his. 00:42:51.331 --> 00:42:52.231 People forget that. 00:42:52.271 --> 00:42:52.773 You know what I mean? 00:42:52.813 --> 00:42:53.954 They forget once they're gone, 00:42:53.974 --> 00:42:55.295 they assume it's the new regime. 00:42:55.994 --> 00:42:58.538 So I believe, am I wrong? 00:42:58.597 --> 00:43:01.179 Was Randy Orozarena the first trade? 00:43:02.740 --> 00:43:03.501 Really big trade? 00:43:03.961 --> 00:43:04.782 Who was the first one? 00:43:05.393 --> 00:43:06.673 first big trade it was the 00:43:06.753 --> 00:43:07.875 second one the first one 00:43:07.914 --> 00:43:10.856 was um aj puck from oh yes 00:43:11.077 --> 00:43:13.219 arizona yep that's right 00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:16.161 another reliever so randia 00:43:16.201 --> 00:43:18.181 rosarena is now with 00:43:18.302 --> 00:43:20.463 seattle which we spoke last 00:43:20.523 --> 00:43:22.646 week about julio rodriguez 00:43:22.686 --> 00:43:25.108 injury so getting randy out 00:43:25.148 --> 00:43:28.449 there in seattle he hasn't 00:43:30.780 --> 00:43:33.023 been the same or it hasn't 00:43:33.063 --> 00:43:34.083 produced to the level he 00:43:34.103 --> 00:43:35.364 did his rookie year when he 00:43:35.505 --> 00:43:36.686 made that playoff run. 00:43:37.126 --> 00:43:38.166 But at the same time, 00:43:39.047 --> 00:43:41.730 he hasn't been surrounded by the same. 00:43:42.030 --> 00:43:43.291 So it'll be interesting to see. 00:43:43.331 --> 00:43:45.293 I think that was a good move by Seattle. 00:43:45.873 --> 00:43:47.313 And I think he will play well. 00:43:47.574 --> 00:43:48.355 Did he just Homer? 00:43:48.594 --> 00:43:48.876 Yep. 00:43:49.635 --> 00:43:50.597 Guys, he's a gamer. 00:43:50.856 --> 00:43:51.737 He really is a gamer. 00:43:51.757 --> 00:43:52.719 And I think he's the type 00:43:52.778 --> 00:43:54.119 that when you're in it and 00:43:54.139 --> 00:43:55.300 you're up at the top of the 00:43:55.340 --> 00:43:56.902 standings and it's, 00:43:57.702 --> 00:43:59.001 impactful each night, 00:43:59.722 --> 00:44:00.722 he just comes to play. 00:44:00.983 --> 00:44:01.963 So I'll be very interested 00:44:01.983 --> 00:44:02.742 to see how that does. 00:44:03.103 --> 00:44:04.664 What do you think of how we handle it all? 00:44:05.003 --> 00:44:06.364 So I don't know if you saw 00:44:06.384 --> 00:44:07.364 the clip from the weekend. 00:44:08.724 --> 00:44:10.085 He got traded Thursday. 00:44:10.125 --> 00:44:13.925 It was like 1.30 my time or 00:44:14.106 --> 00:44:15.126 our time when I saw it. 00:44:17.286 --> 00:44:19.188 But so apparently he told 00:44:19.268 --> 00:44:20.987 Seattle he would be there Saturday, 00:44:21.989 --> 00:44:23.228 stayed behind Friday, 00:44:23.369 --> 00:44:24.509 and actually sat in left 00:44:24.528 --> 00:44:26.909 field in Randy Land at the drop. 00:44:27.722 --> 00:44:29.163 and watched the Rays play 00:44:30.264 --> 00:44:31.184 and sat with the fans. 00:44:32.085 --> 00:44:33.025 And then I think it was in 00:44:33.085 --> 00:44:34.126 the third or fourth inning 00:44:34.166 --> 00:44:34.686 or something like that, 00:44:34.726 --> 00:44:36.507 he left and got ready to leave. 00:44:37.108 --> 00:44:38.429 But he wanted to take it in 00:44:38.489 --> 00:44:40.431 with the fans and be a part of it, 00:44:41.050 --> 00:44:42.132 which I really liked a lot. 00:44:42.172 --> 00:44:42.972 I mean, that's a team. 00:44:43.132 --> 00:44:43.932 He didn't start there. 00:44:45.034 --> 00:44:46.414 He got his big league debut there. 00:44:47.135 --> 00:44:48.195 It was a Cardinals start. 00:44:48.876 --> 00:44:49.996 Then he ended up with the Rays, 00:44:50.277 --> 00:44:51.157 and that's the team that 00:44:51.177 --> 00:44:52.079 gave him his big break. 00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:53.800 So he stayed to take it all 00:44:53.860 --> 00:44:56.061 in for a couple innings and then left. 00:44:56.961 --> 00:44:57.101 Yep. 00:44:58.210 --> 00:44:58.610 I like it. 00:44:59.271 --> 00:45:02.594 I think that spoke volumes. 00:45:02.833 --> 00:45:03.735 I mean, obviously, 00:45:03.775 --> 00:45:05.936 anytime a guy gets traded during a game, 00:45:07.717 --> 00:45:09.478 you're interested to see how they react. 00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:10.679 I think what he did for the 00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:11.920 fans and just the 00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:14.242 appreciation makes you like him even more, 00:45:14.282 --> 00:45:15.103 root for him even more. 00:45:15.143 --> 00:45:15.623 Just, you know, 00:45:15.643 --> 00:45:16.563 a lot of guys would be like, 00:45:16.583 --> 00:45:17.364 I'm out of here. 00:45:17.425 --> 00:45:18.045 I want to go. 00:45:18.846 --> 00:45:20.045 But he knew they weren't 00:45:20.085 --> 00:45:20.927 making the playoffs, 00:45:20.967 --> 00:45:22.967 but he stayed around for appreciation. 00:45:24.530 --> 00:45:25.010 What? 00:45:25.951 --> 00:45:27.751 Jalen Beeks going to the Pirates. 00:45:31.005 --> 00:45:31.364 Really? 00:45:31.865 --> 00:45:32.146 Mm-hmm. 00:45:35.068 --> 00:45:35.989 And they are getting 00:45:37.108 --> 00:45:38.110 double-A left-handed 00:45:38.130 --> 00:45:40.231 pitcher Luis Peralta to Colorado. 00:45:41.172 --> 00:45:41.472 Okay. 00:45:41.813 --> 00:45:42.733 That's interesting. 00:45:44.355 --> 00:45:44.954 But I like it. 00:45:45.255 --> 00:45:47.677 I think Beeks is left-handed, right? 00:45:47.777 --> 00:45:48.177 Reliever? 00:45:48.597 --> 00:45:49.117 Mm-hmm. 00:45:49.697 --> 00:45:50.599 Was a Red Sox. 00:45:50.778 --> 00:45:51.960 He's out in Colorado. 00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:52.579 Tampa. 00:45:52.659 --> 00:45:53.041 Okay. 00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:54.601 Tampa, that's right. 00:45:54.641 --> 00:45:56.182 He was part of the Eovaldi trade. 00:45:57.003 --> 00:45:57.664 Yes, he was. 00:45:58.063 --> 00:45:58.684 Interesting. 00:45:58.824 --> 00:45:59.364 He was the name. 00:45:59.385 --> 00:46:00.525 Okay. 00:46:01.342 --> 00:46:03.565 So the other trade, 00:46:03.605 --> 00:46:04.864 there's a couple of other trades. 00:46:04.905 --> 00:46:05.905 We've talked about Tommy 00:46:05.985 --> 00:46:08.208 Edmond and Koczek going to the Dodgers, 00:46:08.367 --> 00:46:11.809 Pham and Fetty going to St. 00:46:11.849 --> 00:46:15.211 Louis, Vargas, Alexander Albertus, 00:46:15.512 --> 00:46:18.755 and Jarrell Perez back to the White Sox. 00:46:19.034 --> 00:46:20.155 That trade keeps changing, 00:46:20.195 --> 00:46:21.476 so I don't even know who the problem is. 00:46:21.596 --> 00:46:21.777 Yeah, 00:46:22.197 --> 00:46:24.097 and I think it probably will continue 00:46:24.137 --> 00:46:25.619 until they figure it out. 00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:26.920 But the other trade, 00:46:27.644 --> 00:46:29.065 raid that happened today 00:46:29.146 --> 00:46:30.085 that you and I have talked 00:46:30.126 --> 00:46:31.226 about was between the 00:46:31.266 --> 00:46:34.827 boston red sox and the 00:46:35.007 --> 00:46:36.548 pittsburgh pirates nick 00:46:36.568 --> 00:46:39.630 yorkie or nick york heading 00:46:39.730 --> 00:46:43.251 to the pirates for quinn 00:46:43.492 --> 00:46:45.952 priester and we both have 00:46:45.992 --> 00:46:48.134 talked previously and I 00:46:48.173 --> 00:46:49.414 like the trade I mean I 00:46:49.454 --> 00:46:50.855 like the priest uh priester 00:46:51.750 --> 00:46:54.612 as a potential holding that 00:46:54.713 --> 00:46:57.355 fifth spot for Skeens to start the year, 00:46:57.414 --> 00:46:59.577 just due to the fact of his 00:47:00.637 --> 00:47:02.579 control and the ground ball pitcher. 00:47:02.998 --> 00:47:03.940 What did you think of the trade? 00:47:04.721 --> 00:47:06.061 I like the trade for both sides. 00:47:06.322 --> 00:47:07.182 And realistically, 00:47:07.202 --> 00:47:08.184 when we talked about this, 00:47:08.983 --> 00:47:10.425 I've followed Priester 00:47:11.126 --> 00:47:12.507 since he got to Altoona. 00:47:13.288 --> 00:47:14.969 And I've thought he could be 00:47:15.028 --> 00:47:17.451 something that, in the right situation, 00:47:17.510 --> 00:47:18.431 if he figures everything out, 00:47:18.472 --> 00:47:19.532 he could be a good pitcher. 00:47:20.498 --> 00:47:23.260 Um, Nick York liked him for the Red Sox. 00:47:23.460 --> 00:47:24.679 Obviously when he got drafted, 00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:25.579 nobody was thrilled about 00:47:25.619 --> 00:47:28.101 it because he wasn't a first round guy. 00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:30.081 Like nobody saw him as a first round guy. 00:47:30.101 --> 00:47:32.342 Red Sox loved him out of high school. 00:47:32.402 --> 00:47:34.262 I think, believe he had a shoulder issue, 00:47:34.282 --> 00:47:36.463 um, his senior year and didn't play much. 00:47:36.483 --> 00:47:38.643 I think it was also the COVID year, 00:47:38.884 --> 00:47:39.884 if I remember correctly. 00:47:40.164 --> 00:47:41.184 No, that was Meyer. 00:47:41.324 --> 00:47:41.985 So it might've been a year 00:47:42.005 --> 00:47:43.065 before a couple of years before. 00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:45.440 But he's one of those guys 00:47:45.460 --> 00:47:47.641 where we talk about at end 00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:50.181 that the Red Sox are blocked. 00:47:51.041 --> 00:47:54.463 Every outfield position is a question mark, 00:47:54.762 --> 00:47:55.643 and that's where he started 00:47:55.664 --> 00:47:57.184 to play outfield. 00:47:57.923 --> 00:47:59.284 And then the infield got blocked. 00:47:59.304 --> 00:48:00.844 You traded Sale for Von Grissom. 00:48:01.626 --> 00:48:02.465 You got Meyer. 00:48:02.545 --> 00:48:03.326 You got Devers. 00:48:03.346 --> 00:48:04.166 You got Casas. 00:48:05.106 --> 00:48:06.126 So where does he fit in? 00:48:06.867 --> 00:48:07.967 So the writing on the wall 00:48:08.487 --> 00:48:09.788 was for York to be traded 00:48:09.927 --> 00:48:12.208 this trade deadline or this offseason. 00:48:13.500 --> 00:48:13.539 Um, 00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:16.322 I think a lot of Red Sox fans judging 00:48:16.342 --> 00:48:18.644 by what I saw on Twitter wanted 00:48:19.476 --> 00:48:21.077 it to be a bigger name for 00:48:21.097 --> 00:48:23.280 York because of what he had 00:48:23.300 --> 00:48:24.201 been doing at AAA. 00:48:24.240 --> 00:48:24.360 I mean, 00:48:24.380 --> 00:48:25.461 he was tearing the cover off the 00:48:25.501 --> 00:48:27.503 ball once he got to AAA. 00:48:27.802 --> 00:48:29.063 So I think people expected more. 00:48:29.724 --> 00:48:33.648 The thing with Priester is he, 00:48:34.068 --> 00:48:36.110 despite not being in the top 100, 00:48:36.110 --> 00:48:37.431 because he's not a prospect anymore, 00:48:38.371 --> 00:48:39.793 he's right away going, 00:48:39.932 --> 00:48:40.913 both of those guys are 00:48:40.932 --> 00:48:41.974 going right to AAA for 00:48:41.994 --> 00:48:42.914 their respective teams. 00:48:43.755 --> 00:48:45.496 But Priester is a guy where we, 00:48:46.831 --> 00:48:48.413 especially me, you know, 00:48:48.432 --> 00:48:49.713 have glorified the Andrew 00:48:49.753 --> 00:48:52.875 Bailey effect where he's a 00:48:52.934 --> 00:48:53.954 guy that I think with 00:48:54.034 --> 00:48:56.115 Bailey can turn in something. 00:48:56.135 --> 00:48:57.237 He's a five pitch pitcher. 00:48:57.936 --> 00:48:58.137 You know, 00:48:58.177 --> 00:48:59.858 he's got a high ground ball percentage. 00:49:00.257 --> 00:49:01.539 He doesn't issue walks. 00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:03.400 He is the definition of 00:49:03.460 --> 00:49:05.119 fitting into the Andrew Bailey mold. 00:49:05.860 --> 00:49:06.840 And that's why I think this 00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:07.400 trade was done. 00:49:07.460 --> 00:49:08.161 He's under control. 00:49:08.681 --> 00:49:09.722 So he's under team control. 00:49:11.742 --> 00:49:14.103 He fits right in to what the Red Sox need. 00:49:14.784 --> 00:49:15.385 He's not... 00:49:16.385 --> 00:49:17.326 when I say it fits in right 00:49:17.346 --> 00:49:18.085 to the Red Sox need, 00:49:18.146 --> 00:49:19.427 it's more along the lines of, like, 00:49:19.447 --> 00:49:22.248 we talk about their farm system and, 00:49:22.527 --> 00:49:22.748 you know, 00:49:22.768 --> 00:49:24.128 the big three that are coming up. 00:49:24.849 --> 00:49:25.730 But we don't talk about the 00:49:25.750 --> 00:49:26.469 pitching that's there. 00:49:26.769 --> 00:49:28.210 And there's a couple names to watch, 00:49:28.271 --> 00:49:30.472 but they're not top 100 guys. 00:49:30.572 --> 00:49:32.452 They're just barely, you know, 00:49:32.592 --> 00:49:35.795 trickling into the top 10. 00:49:35.795 --> 00:49:36.735 But Priester's a guy that 00:49:36.755 --> 00:49:37.855 you could watch this year 00:49:37.876 --> 00:49:38.735 at Worcester and 00:49:39.496 --> 00:49:40.376 along the lines maybe 00:49:40.818 --> 00:49:41.398 towards the end of the 00:49:41.438 --> 00:49:42.577 season when the bullpen 00:49:42.617 --> 00:49:44.478 might be tired or there's 00:49:44.518 --> 00:49:45.360 an injury and you need a 00:49:45.380 --> 00:49:46.300 starter you could see him 00:49:46.340 --> 00:49:47.480 called up and see what he 00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:48.681 can do when you know you 00:49:48.701 --> 00:49:49.320 have a glimpse into 00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:51.001 something so realistically 00:49:51.041 --> 00:49:52.682 the trade from both sides 00:49:52.702 --> 00:49:53.623 because I love watching the 00:49:53.643 --> 00:49:54.804 pirates I got the game on 00:49:54.824 --> 00:49:55.804 my little tv right now 00:49:55.844 --> 00:49:56.523 because they're playing the 00:49:56.603 --> 00:49:57.445 ashes with schemes on the 00:49:57.485 --> 00:49:59.525 mound I think both guys 00:49:59.565 --> 00:50:00.746 realistically should be up 00:50:00.786 --> 00:50:02.327 by the middle to end of august 00:50:03.159 --> 00:50:04.300 I think York deserves his 00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:05.181 shot at the big leagues, 00:50:05.561 --> 00:50:07.282 and I think he should get it this year. 00:50:07.681 --> 00:50:09.983 It's an outfield bat that could be used. 00:50:12.282 --> 00:50:13.963 So that trade I like a lot. 00:50:14.764 --> 00:50:15.545 The other trade that 00:50:15.565 --> 00:50:16.525 happened today that I don't 00:50:16.605 --> 00:50:17.565 think you mentioned was 00:50:17.704 --> 00:50:18.925 Justin Turner to the Mariners. 00:50:19.766 --> 00:50:20.967 Yeah. 00:50:21.246 --> 00:50:23.547 And I thought he was coming to Boston. 00:50:24.788 --> 00:50:26.248 Yeah, that one made a lot of sense. 00:50:28.528 --> 00:50:29.469 I thought that was a reunion. 00:50:30.230 --> 00:50:31.150 Now he's coming to Fenway, 00:50:31.271 --> 00:50:32.311 but not for the Red Sox. 00:50:35.617 --> 00:50:39.000 The one thing with the Turner move, 00:50:39.380 --> 00:50:41.121 I think it makes perfect sense. 00:50:45.306 --> 00:50:48.088 Ty France was also traded today, 00:50:48.829 --> 00:50:50.309 who after being designated, 00:50:50.349 --> 00:50:51.391 he's going to the Reds. 00:50:53.512 --> 00:50:55.094 The trade from this weekend 00:50:55.134 --> 00:50:56.594 that really to me is like, 00:50:58.476 --> 00:51:03.380 I understand why the leash was so long. 00:51:04.389 --> 00:51:04.949 And it kind of, 00:51:05.050 --> 00:51:06.110 when we were talking about 00:51:06.811 --> 00:51:09.192 Randy Stan and Randy Land, 00:51:09.512 --> 00:51:10.873 is the Christopher Morrell 00:51:10.934 --> 00:51:13.394 going to Tampa and Isaac 00:51:13.454 --> 00:51:15.476 Paredes coming to the Chicago Cubs? 00:51:16.637 --> 00:51:18.219 I watched that video several 00:51:18.259 --> 00:51:19.659 times of Morrell leaving 00:51:19.860 --> 00:51:21.260 and just saying his goodbyes. 00:51:21.701 --> 00:51:23.862 The guy is just such an energetic guy. 00:51:24.483 --> 00:51:26.143 So much appreciation for the game. 00:51:26.603 --> 00:51:27.784 And I look at him and Randy 00:51:27.824 --> 00:51:28.826 being very similar in 00:51:28.885 --> 00:51:30.047 regards to their approach. 00:51:30.663 --> 00:51:34.405 to the life I guess the life 00:51:34.465 --> 00:51:35.684 of baseball and the 00:51:35.724 --> 00:51:39.246 appreciation and for me as 00:51:39.327 --> 00:51:41.007 much as I loved christopher 00:51:41.047 --> 00:51:42.047 morrell just because of his 00:51:42.148 --> 00:51:44.009 energy he wasn't hitting 00:51:44.028 --> 00:51:45.909 the ball for average he was 00:51:45.949 --> 00:51:48.050 just power I had mentioned 00:51:48.090 --> 00:51:49.992 it early on that the cubs 00:51:50.291 --> 00:51:51.771 trying to get isaac paredes 00:51:51.932 --> 00:51:53.693 and actually randy in a 00:51:53.753 --> 00:51:55.333 trade to play you know out 00:51:55.353 --> 00:51:56.494 in the outfield because at 00:51:56.514 --> 00:51:57.275 that point in time 00:51:57.998 --> 00:51:59.661 they hadn't signed Bellinger, 00:51:59.740 --> 00:52:01.244 but I think Isaac Parades 00:52:01.324 --> 00:52:02.226 is a great move. 00:52:03.688 --> 00:52:04.108 I also, 00:52:04.188 --> 00:52:09.018 the Cubs also traded for Nate Pearson. 00:52:10.523 --> 00:52:11.822 The Red Sox traded the 00:52:11.862 --> 00:52:13.603 reliever from Toronto. 00:52:13.884 --> 00:52:15.083 The Red Sox also made a 00:52:15.143 --> 00:52:16.983 trade and got Danny Jensen, 00:52:17.445 --> 00:52:18.485 who could be the first 00:52:18.545 --> 00:52:20.844 player ever to play for 00:52:21.385 --> 00:52:23.505 both teams in one game 00:52:23.565 --> 00:52:24.686 because of that suspended 00:52:24.786 --> 00:52:25.867 game with Toronto. 00:52:26.246 --> 00:52:27.706 So I thought that's pretty cool. 00:52:27.847 --> 00:52:28.367 Obviously, 00:52:28.487 --> 00:52:30.208 the coinciding move was Reese 00:52:30.228 --> 00:52:32.327 McGuire had been DFA'd, 00:52:32.867 --> 00:52:35.148 which there's a whole 00:52:35.309 --> 00:52:36.608 podcast we could do on DFA. 00:52:36.963 --> 00:52:37.824 Him alone. 00:52:38.184 --> 00:52:38.804 Yeah. 00:52:38.923 --> 00:52:40.425 Reese McGuire and his stuff. 00:52:40.465 --> 00:52:41.766 That might be a different one. 00:52:41.865 --> 00:52:43.306 But there's been a lot of 00:52:43.367 --> 00:52:44.208 trades happening. 00:52:44.568 --> 00:52:45.708 There's a lot more. 00:52:46.228 --> 00:52:47.150 Paxton, that's right. 00:52:47.170 --> 00:52:49.831 I think that the biggest names left, 00:52:50.492 --> 00:52:52.333 Robert, Crochet. 00:52:52.713 --> 00:52:53.494 He's not moving. 00:52:54.494 --> 00:52:55.534 You don't think he's going to move? 00:52:55.815 --> 00:52:57.396 Crochet shot himself in the foot. 00:52:58.978 --> 00:52:59.257 True. 00:52:59.737 --> 00:53:01.579 His comments about he won't 00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:02.420 pitch in the playoffs 00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:03.440 unless there's an extension. 00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:04.782 All of a sudden, 00:53:04.842 --> 00:53:05.961 his name's dropped off the table. 00:53:05.981 --> 00:53:06.722 Nobody wants him anymore. 00:53:07.414 --> 00:53:08.735 Well, it is funny. 00:53:09.115 --> 00:53:12.036 Well, how much of that's got to do with, 00:53:12.577 --> 00:53:15.077 you know, a guy saying he, well, I mean, 00:53:15.117 --> 00:53:16.737 unless he likes Chicago that much, 00:53:17.197 --> 00:53:17.838 all of a sudden, 00:53:17.898 --> 00:53:19.639 since he shot himself in the foot, 00:53:19.739 --> 00:53:20.418 as you mentioned, 00:53:20.739 --> 00:53:21.898 Blake Snell's popped up. 00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:23.460 And to me, I don't, 00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:24.780 how the hell do you move 00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:26.420 Blake Snell and get 00:53:26.581 --> 00:53:28.840 anything in return other 00:53:28.860 --> 00:53:30.342 than someone being utterly 00:53:31.461 --> 00:53:34.802 ridiculously like overwhelmed with, 00:53:35.663 --> 00:53:36.704 people being blocked 00:53:36.844 --> 00:53:38.385 prospect wise that could 00:53:38.445 --> 00:53:41.927 benefit san francisco and 00:53:42.606 --> 00:53:43.887 taking a shot on a guy to 00:53:43.947 --> 00:53:46.050 get him for who he was last 00:53:46.090 --> 00:53:47.150 year we had this 00:53:47.210 --> 00:53:48.971 conversation early on he's 00:53:49.010 --> 00:53:51.193 an every other year guy it 00:53:51.253 --> 00:53:54.534 seems recently I i don't I 00:53:54.574 --> 00:53:57.737 can't even imagine what 00:53:57.757 --> 00:53:59.538 would you I mean okay let's 00:53:59.577 --> 00:54:00.958 say it's boston where are 00:54:00.978 --> 00:54:02.480 you starting with what are you offering 00:54:05.088 --> 00:54:05.528 I think so. 00:54:05.550 --> 00:54:06.210 I think at the end of the day, 00:54:06.230 --> 00:54:07.610 no matter what happens with Snell, 00:54:08.211 --> 00:54:08.893 I think the reason he's 00:54:08.913 --> 00:54:09.733 available is I think 00:54:09.773 --> 00:54:11.355 they're expecting like a 00:54:11.355 --> 00:54:12.795 5.30 full-blown panic phone 00:54:12.835 --> 00:54:13.617 call from somebody. 00:54:14.378 --> 00:54:15.259 I think that was just a 00:54:15.318 --> 00:54:16.760 rumor just to know Crochet 00:54:16.780 --> 00:54:17.581 did what he did. 00:54:17.601 --> 00:54:19.762 And everybody's going to watch Scooble. 00:54:20.023 --> 00:54:20.583 Scooble's going to be the 00:54:20.603 --> 00:54:22.284 name to watch until about 4 o'clock, 00:54:22.304 --> 00:54:23.706 and I don't think he's moving. 00:54:24.407 --> 00:54:25.188 And then I think somebody's 00:54:25.208 --> 00:54:26.028 going to panic once they 00:54:26.048 --> 00:54:27.110 see Flaherty get moved. 00:54:27.911 --> 00:54:28.251 And then, no, 00:54:28.271 --> 00:54:29.371 the other two aren't going anywhere, 00:54:29.411 --> 00:54:30.172 and they're going to call 00:54:30.213 --> 00:54:31.333 San Francisco for Snell, 00:54:31.393 --> 00:54:32.353 and they're going to overpay. 00:54:32.932 --> 00:54:34.373 It's going to be a panic move right at 530, 00:54:34.373 --> 00:54:35.614 right to get the trade in 00:54:35.634 --> 00:54:36.574 right before the deadline. 00:54:37.333 --> 00:54:38.853 And that's the only thing 00:54:38.873 --> 00:54:39.875 that makes sense to me on 00:54:39.974 --> 00:54:41.295 why his name has surfaced 00:54:41.994 --> 00:54:43.614 is they know that's going to be the case. 00:54:43.635 --> 00:54:45.096 They're going to call – some 00:54:45.115 --> 00:54:45.755 teams are going to call 00:54:45.775 --> 00:54:47.775 Chicago about Crochet, 00:54:48.757 --> 00:54:50.536 and they're going to think about it, 00:54:50.577 --> 00:54:51.177 think about it, 00:54:51.277 --> 00:54:51.836 and then they're going to 00:54:51.856 --> 00:54:53.478 try to talk to him because 00:54:53.498 --> 00:54:54.137 they're going to try to get 00:54:54.297 --> 00:54:55.217 permission to talk to him. 00:54:56.135 --> 00:54:57.536 They try to do a silent trade. 00:54:57.556 --> 00:54:59.016 They try to get the trade done, 00:54:59.076 --> 00:55:00.456 get the extension done right away. 00:55:01.297 --> 00:55:02.336 But if they can't do that, 00:55:02.416 --> 00:55:03.318 then they're not going to 00:55:03.657 --> 00:55:04.338 waste their time and 00:55:04.358 --> 00:55:05.719 they're going to pivot. 00:55:05.739 --> 00:55:06.798 And at that point, 00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:08.420 it's going to be like 5 o'clock, 00:55:08.539 --> 00:55:09.219 last-ditch effort. 00:55:09.239 --> 00:55:09.780 They're going to make the 00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:11.641 phone call to White Sox. 00:55:12.161 --> 00:55:12.842 Not going to happen. 00:55:12.862 --> 00:55:13.641 5.30 comes, 5.45. 00:55:13.942 --> 00:55:14.481 Okay, fine. 00:55:14.501 --> 00:55:17.443 Let's just go get Blake Snow. 00:55:17.503 --> 00:55:18.443 We need a left-handed pitcher. 00:55:18.583 --> 00:55:19.123 Let's go do it. 00:55:20.396 --> 00:55:21.896 So it's funny you mentioned 00:55:21.916 --> 00:55:23.998 that because we had talked 00:55:24.079 --> 00:55:26.360 last week and I threw out Justin Steele. 00:55:27.181 --> 00:55:28.382 You have to wonder some of 00:55:28.402 --> 00:55:29.902 these teams that, I mean, 00:55:31.543 --> 00:55:32.905 James Tyron is a name that 00:55:32.925 --> 00:55:34.146 had been thrown out and it 00:55:34.206 --> 00:55:37.329 seems to have quiet recently as an arm, 00:55:37.429 --> 00:55:38.710 but Justin Steele. 00:55:39.110 --> 00:55:40.070 That's a Flaherty move. 00:55:40.210 --> 00:55:41.271 Once Flaherty is decided. 00:55:41.311 --> 00:55:41.632 Yeah. 00:55:41.751 --> 00:55:41.931 Yeah. 00:55:41.992 --> 00:55:42.932 I think there's tiers. 00:55:42.992 --> 00:55:43.333 Like you said, 00:55:43.353 --> 00:55:46.355 I think once this one drops or okay. 00:55:46.454 --> 00:55:48.516 Asking price moved down the second tier, 00:55:48.536 --> 00:55:48.577 uh, 00:55:49.065 --> 00:55:51.746 But I think with the Cubs having Shota now, 00:55:51.865 --> 00:55:53.525 and they still have Jordan Wicks, 00:55:53.626 --> 00:55:56.527 who I think there's something there. 00:55:56.766 --> 00:55:58.608 But he reminds me way too 00:55:58.668 --> 00:56:01.168 freaking much of Boston's 00:56:02.268 --> 00:56:03.469 Eduardo Rodriguez, 00:56:03.528 --> 00:56:04.670 not World Series years. 00:56:04.750 --> 00:56:05.489 Because, Jesus, 00:56:05.670 --> 00:56:07.210 I don't know if I've seen a pitcher, 00:56:07.791 --> 00:56:08.490 two pitchers, 00:56:08.811 --> 00:56:10.210 that see more full counts 00:56:10.570 --> 00:56:12.251 than those two guys, left-handers. 00:56:13.027 --> 00:56:15.128 So I think the Cubs probably 00:56:15.188 --> 00:56:16.568 mentioned or maybe leaked 00:56:16.748 --> 00:56:18.650 the steals stuff simply to 00:56:18.730 --> 00:56:21.692 see what they get for a, you know, 00:56:21.891 --> 00:56:24.132 last ditch call when, you know, 00:56:24.172 --> 00:56:25.233 crochet doesn't get moved. 00:56:25.293 --> 00:56:27.614 So it'll be interesting. 00:56:28.034 --> 00:56:30.615 I think we both believe that the, 00:56:31.197 --> 00:56:34.217 the most likely next bat to move, 00:56:34.478 --> 00:56:35.298 at least I do. 00:56:35.338 --> 00:56:35.619 I don't know. 00:56:35.719 --> 00:56:37.980 I'll see if you agree is Brent Rooker. 00:56:39.021 --> 00:56:39.181 Yeah. 00:56:40.931 --> 00:56:42.670 because of where he is in in 00:56:42.871 --> 00:56:45.351 oakland they they're moving 00:56:46.152 --> 00:56:46.992 they're reluctant to trade 00:56:47.012 --> 00:56:47.612 them that came out 00:56:47.632 --> 00:56:50.313 yesterday why who the 00:56:50.333 --> 00:56:51.313 hell's going to see him in 00:56:51.353 --> 00:56:53.934 sacramento for two years I 00:56:53.994 --> 00:56:54.954 think they're hoping that 00:56:54.974 --> 00:56:56.894 they can you can only fit 5 00:56:56.894 --> 00:56:59.514 500 people there yeah but I 00:56:59.534 --> 00:57:00.375 think their hope is to 00:57:00.394 --> 00:57:01.275 compete and now they're 00:57:01.295 --> 00:57:02.175 obviously they're not going 00:57:02.235 --> 00:57:04.295 to but no I think that's their hope 00:57:05.782 --> 00:57:06.943 I'm shocked, though, 00:57:07.103 --> 00:57:08.925 because maybe their whole 00:57:08.965 --> 00:57:11.067 plan changed once Miller broke his hand. 00:57:12.807 --> 00:57:13.329 You know what I mean? 00:57:13.349 --> 00:57:15.550 Because they could have got 00:57:15.570 --> 00:57:17.431 a bunch of prospects and 00:57:17.452 --> 00:57:18.833 they could have retooled, 00:57:19.052 --> 00:57:20.893 like almost grabbed a bunch of prospects, 00:57:20.934 --> 00:57:22.715 but then flip some for some 00:57:22.755 --> 00:57:23.695 guys with control. 00:57:23.715 --> 00:57:26.498 And again, 00:57:27.239 --> 00:57:28.659 all this shit is speculation 00:57:28.860 --> 00:57:29.659 until it happens. 00:57:29.900 --> 00:57:31.300 I mean, I don't think either one of us, 00:57:31.742 --> 00:57:32.782 we were talking about York 00:57:32.822 --> 00:57:34.063 being called up instead of 00:57:34.103 --> 00:57:34.784 Jamie Westbrook. 00:57:35.492 --> 00:57:35.711 Yeah. 00:57:37.152 --> 00:57:37.452 So, 00:57:39.074 --> 00:57:44.018 is there any surprise name that hasn't 00:57:44.097 --> 00:57:45.278 really been talked about 00:57:45.378 --> 00:57:46.460 that you could see getting 00:57:46.579 --> 00:57:50.922 moved in the next, you know, shit, 00:57:51.103 --> 00:57:56.266 next 20 hours, 20 and a half hours? 00:57:57.568 --> 00:57:58.728 We haven't talked about him. 00:57:58.989 --> 00:58:00.208 Actually, I think I might have last week. 00:58:00.228 --> 00:58:01.489 I think he was my third pitcher. 00:58:02.130 --> 00:58:03.632 I really think with Kikuchi moving, 00:58:03.692 --> 00:58:05.072 I think Bassett's the name to watch. 00:58:05.885 --> 00:58:06.125 Yeah. 00:58:07.005 --> 00:58:08.885 I would rather have him than James Tyon, 00:58:09.445 --> 00:58:09.925 honestly. 00:58:10.385 --> 00:58:11.586 And one other name that 00:58:11.907 --> 00:58:12.806 hasn't been talked about, 00:58:12.847 --> 00:58:15.668 he just came back, I want to say like two, 00:58:15.688 --> 00:58:16.307 three weeks ago. 00:58:16.327 --> 00:58:18.829 What are the Rockies doing? 00:58:19.949 --> 00:58:21.110 They're not competing this year. 00:58:21.130 --> 00:58:22.969 Are they competing next year? 00:58:23.050 --> 00:58:23.670 I don't think so. 00:58:23.809 --> 00:58:25.150 I think I said last week 00:58:25.170 --> 00:58:26.291 when we talked about prospects, 00:58:26.311 --> 00:58:27.331 probably two years from now, 00:58:28.032 --> 00:58:29.391 when all those guys in AA 00:58:29.452 --> 00:58:30.952 come up and they start to 00:58:30.972 --> 00:58:31.972 get their experience and 00:58:31.992 --> 00:58:32.592 they're good to go. 00:58:32.612 --> 00:58:33.632 Because I think a lot of 00:58:33.672 --> 00:58:35.634 those guys get their debuts next season 00:58:36.664 --> 00:58:38.585 So what about a name like Kyle Freeland? 00:58:41.567 --> 00:58:43.128 That's somebody who, for years, 00:58:43.188 --> 00:58:44.289 I've wanted to come to Boston. 00:58:46.291 --> 00:58:48.291 But, again, he just came back, 00:58:48.371 --> 00:58:49.512 so is that why teams don't 00:58:49.532 --> 00:58:50.132 talk about him? 00:58:51.114 --> 00:58:52.894 And I don't know his contract situation. 00:58:52.914 --> 00:58:53.675 I don't know how long he's 00:58:53.735 --> 00:58:55.577 under contract for. 00:58:56.358 --> 00:58:57.338 So, obviously, 00:58:57.358 --> 00:58:58.458 he's not somebody who's up 00:58:58.599 --> 00:58:59.260 after this year. 00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:04.103 You know, that's a name that I always... 00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:05.882 I feel like I hear about him. 00:59:06.101 --> 00:59:07.163 It was the years when the 00:59:07.204 --> 00:59:08.385 Marlins weren't good before 00:59:08.425 --> 00:59:09.126 he passed away. 00:59:09.166 --> 00:59:09.985 You heard about Jose 00:59:10.025 --> 00:59:11.188 Fernandez going somewhere. 00:59:12.088 --> 00:59:13.570 Every year, he's mentioned at the deadline, 00:59:13.630 --> 00:59:14.471 never got moved, 00:59:14.550 --> 00:59:16.353 and then everything happened. 00:59:17.034 --> 00:59:19.096 But I feel like other than this year, 00:59:19.135 --> 00:59:20.056 Kyle Freeman was a name 00:59:20.077 --> 00:59:21.117 that you heard quite a bit 00:59:21.157 --> 00:59:22.039 about for the Rockies. 00:59:22.980 --> 00:59:23.820 And now this year, obviously, 00:59:23.840 --> 00:59:24.402 it's nothing. 00:59:25.842 --> 00:59:27.125 I think that that is... 00:59:29.358 --> 00:59:30.478 If you look at the left hand 00:59:30.559 --> 00:59:32.239 and take Snell out of this picture, 00:59:32.260 --> 00:59:34.581 because I honestly agree with you, 00:59:34.621 --> 00:59:35.601 and I think Justin Steele 00:59:35.621 --> 00:59:36.161 is the same way. 00:59:36.202 --> 00:59:36.862 They're going to have to 00:59:36.902 --> 00:59:38.322 have their socks blown off. 00:59:38.983 --> 00:59:39.704 It's going to have to be a 00:59:39.764 --> 00:59:42.224 stupid proposal to get him out. 00:59:42.864 --> 00:59:44.786 I mean, Snell not so much as Steele, 00:59:44.847 --> 00:59:48.548 but Snell maybe will move. 00:59:49.009 --> 00:59:52.670 But Freeland after Kikuchi 00:59:52.751 --> 00:59:54.632 is probably one of the 00:59:54.652 --> 00:59:55.913 better lefties you could get. 00:59:56.032 --> 00:59:56.452 Veteran. 00:59:57.260 --> 00:59:58.360 He's not going to wow you, 00:59:58.380 --> 00:59:59.302 but at the same time, 00:59:59.342 --> 01:00:00.581 he generally eats innings. 01:00:00.621 --> 01:00:01.842 And if you take him out of 01:00:02.422 --> 01:00:06.103 Coors Field and actually 01:00:06.143 --> 01:00:07.204 give him some run support, 01:00:08.045 --> 01:00:11.646 he's a serviceable lefty that could fit. 01:00:12.963 --> 01:00:14.625 I don't know if the Twins 01:00:14.664 --> 01:00:17.626 would want to make a call there, 01:00:17.726 --> 01:00:19.228 but they're one team with a 01:00:19.289 --> 01:00:21.931 right-handed heavy rotation 01:00:22.010 --> 01:00:23.972 that I thought Kikuchi made 01:00:24.012 --> 01:00:25.074 a lot of sense there. 01:00:25.253 --> 01:00:26.355 So the Twins are another 01:00:26.375 --> 01:00:27.255 team I'm interested to see 01:00:27.295 --> 01:00:27.976 what happens at the 01:00:28.016 --> 01:00:29.376 deadline if they do anything. 01:00:29.536 --> 01:00:31.398 But with all that said... 01:00:32.199 --> 01:00:33.119 Before you move on, 01:00:33.139 --> 01:00:34.722 they're down 11-1 to the Mets right now. 01:00:36.023 --> 01:00:36.402 Down 11-1? 01:00:36.583 --> 01:00:36.802 Yep. 01:00:36.822 --> 01:00:39.766 Yeah, I see Alonzo had a home run. 01:00:41.298 --> 01:00:43.018 I don't get that. 01:00:43.199 --> 01:00:45.260 I don't get the Twins team, honestly. 01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:46.960 Their pitching staff is, you know, 01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:48.980 besides Joe Ryan, 01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:50.800 not Joe Rogan by any means, 01:00:51.221 --> 01:00:55.081 Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober, you know, 01:00:55.302 --> 01:00:56.722 we've talked about Kent Maida, 01:00:57.202 --> 01:00:57.782 not Kent Maida, 01:00:57.822 --> 01:01:00.862 Pablo Lopez has been off this year. 01:01:00.882 --> 01:01:04.023 I really like Simon Richardson. 01:01:04.182 --> 01:01:06.284 I think he's... He got teed off tonight. 01:01:07.123 --> 01:01:08.423 Is he the one that would pitch tonight? 01:01:08.463 --> 01:01:08.563 Yeah. 01:01:09.391 --> 01:01:10.873 Probably didn't pull him from my lineups. 01:01:11.032 --> 01:01:13.454 He went, uh, three and a third, 01:01:13.514 --> 01:01:15.436 give up six runs on seven hits, 01:01:15.516 --> 01:01:16.896 walk three and struck out two. 01:01:17.556 --> 01:01:18.317 Oh, that's efficient. 01:01:19.097 --> 01:01:20.278 Um, great. 01:01:20.958 --> 01:01:23.561 So it's again, 01:01:23.601 --> 01:01:24.681 we mentioned it from the start. 01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:27.882 It sucks that the deadline 01:01:28.163 --> 01:01:30.105 is not tonight and that it's tomorrow. 01:01:30.224 --> 01:01:31.304 Cause we're not going to be 01:01:31.385 --> 01:01:33.005 live or be able to do anything. 01:01:33.367 --> 01:01:36.288 We will cover and do a recap. 01:01:36.989 --> 01:01:37.108 Um, 01:01:38.146 --> 01:01:39.206 hopefully next Monday night 01:01:39.266 --> 01:01:40.989 I'm on vacation uh but 01:01:41.028 --> 01:01:41.768 hopefully I can do it 01:01:41.809 --> 01:01:42.769 Monday night and kind of 01:01:43.170 --> 01:01:44.711 break down you know the 01:01:44.751 --> 01:01:46.112 trades what happened what 01:01:46.132 --> 01:01:46.893 it means for everyone 01:01:46.934 --> 01:01:49.635 moving forward but you know 01:01:49.655 --> 01:01:50.597 we'll keep you posted if 01:01:50.617 --> 01:01:51.797 anything else happens the 01:01:51.838 --> 01:01:53.378 rest is tonight while we're 01:01:53.458 --> 01:01:54.960 live in the next 10 minutes 01:01:55.021 --> 01:01:57.282 or so but I wanted to move 01:01:57.362 --> 01:01:59.605 into unless there's 01:01:59.644 --> 01:02:01.126 anything else trade wise 01:02:01.146 --> 01:02:02.067 that you want to mention 01:02:02.625 --> 01:02:02.784 Nope. 01:02:03.045 --> 01:02:03.726 I'll tell you if I get 01:02:03.766 --> 01:02:05.106 anything else while we're moving. 01:02:05.768 --> 01:02:06.889 The only other guy I want to 01:02:06.909 --> 01:02:08.289 see moved is – I don't want 01:02:08.309 --> 01:02:09.170 to see him get moved, 01:02:09.251 --> 01:02:10.831 but I want to see him play 01:02:10.952 --> 01:02:13.094 in Kansas City as Nico Horner at second. 01:02:13.494 --> 01:02:14.735 And I'm a Cubs fan. 01:02:14.755 --> 01:02:15.876 I don't want to see him go, 01:02:15.996 --> 01:02:17.958 but they get a log jam there, 01:02:17.978 --> 01:02:19.239 and he could be one that 01:02:19.260 --> 01:02:20.340 could be moved there, 01:02:21.041 --> 01:02:21.842 and that would be 01:02:22.322 --> 01:02:24.784 interesting to see him there. 01:02:24.824 --> 01:02:26.326 And the other guy to Kansas 01:02:26.385 --> 01:02:28.268 City that makes some sense to me, 01:02:28.307 --> 01:02:30.559 if they wanted to make a move – 01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:31.561 would be Bellinger because 01:02:31.581 --> 01:02:32.481 you don't have to sign him. 01:02:32.521 --> 01:02:33.742 But if you're looking for something, 01:02:34.123 --> 01:02:35.184 Cubs won't be asking for a 01:02:35.264 --> 01:02:36.264 huge amount because I don't 01:02:36.304 --> 01:02:37.385 think he's going anywhere 01:02:37.626 --> 01:02:38.346 due to injuries. 01:02:38.425 --> 01:02:40.327 But the Kansas City Royals 01:02:40.367 --> 01:02:41.228 are a team I'd like to see 01:02:41.268 --> 01:02:42.329 the Cubs linked up with. 01:02:42.630 --> 01:02:44.570 So with that said, 01:02:44.851 --> 01:02:46.753 why don't you talk to us 01:02:46.893 --> 01:02:49.014 about your top prospects? 01:02:49.054 --> 01:02:52.677 And I noticed the one at the bottom, 01:02:53.539 --> 01:02:54.360 I was going to send you a 01:02:54.400 --> 01:02:55.221 message because I was 01:02:55.621 --> 01:02:57.123 watching and listening when 01:02:57.163 --> 01:02:57.943 that news broke. 01:02:58.023 --> 01:02:59.264 So why don't you go ahead 01:02:59.585 --> 01:03:01.708 and give us the rundown of 01:03:01.748 --> 01:03:02.869 your top prospects? 01:03:03.670 --> 01:03:06.574 So just before we get into all the numbers, 01:03:07.373 --> 01:03:09.096 the new rankings is updated. 01:03:09.115 --> 01:03:11.458 It will be coming out 01:03:12.380 --> 01:03:13.922 hopefully August 1st. 01:03:13.981 --> 01:03:14.782 I think I'll put it out. 01:03:16.655 --> 01:03:17.677 if not by this weekend. 01:03:17.836 --> 01:03:18.978 My goal is I have it all 01:03:18.998 --> 01:03:19.878 done on the spreadsheet. 01:03:20.498 --> 01:03:21.260 It's all updated. 01:03:21.300 --> 01:03:22.300 I just have to transfer it 01:03:22.340 --> 01:03:23.222 over to a format. 01:03:23.782 --> 01:03:24.963 So the numbers I give you 01:03:25.023 --> 01:03:27.144 right now on rankings are 01:03:27.525 --> 01:03:28.786 the updated rankings. 01:03:29.626 --> 01:03:31.809 So the first one, I did three hitters, 01:03:31.909 --> 01:03:32.389 one pitcher, 01:03:32.449 --> 01:03:33.731 and then I'll get two names I 01:03:33.771 --> 01:03:36.052 want to talk about from this past week. 01:03:36.213 --> 01:03:37.293 So the first one is Max Clark. 01:03:38.471 --> 01:03:39.211 He's the 10th ranked 01:03:39.251 --> 01:03:41.632 prospect on our top 100. 01:03:41.632 --> 01:03:43.454 He's just finished his first 01:03:43.514 --> 01:03:47.016 week at high A. And he went 01:03:47.056 --> 01:03:49.217 eight for 22 with two doubles, a triple, 01:03:49.418 --> 01:03:51.639 five RBIs, four runs scored in a walk. 01:03:52.639 --> 01:03:53.440 That is Max Clark. 01:03:54.668 --> 01:03:56.831 And realistically, I'm starting to wonder. 01:03:56.951 --> 01:03:58.411 I'm starting to try to put together. 01:03:59.012 --> 01:03:59.833 Probably won't be this year. 01:03:59.853 --> 01:04:00.614 It'll be next year because 01:04:00.635 --> 01:04:01.956 this whole prospecting is new. 01:04:01.976 --> 01:04:03.538 I want to do what MLB 01:04:03.577 --> 01:04:04.539 Pipeline does and start 01:04:04.559 --> 01:04:05.500 thinking about ETAs. 01:04:06.842 --> 01:04:08.764 We can start seeing these guys. 01:04:09.244 --> 01:04:10.286 Max Clark is a guy, though, 01:04:10.806 --> 01:04:11.407 just climbed up. 01:04:11.467 --> 01:04:13.409 He was drafted last year in June, 01:04:14.010 --> 01:04:14.871 and he's already at high egg. 01:04:15.543 --> 01:04:16.925 So realistically, we could be talking, 01:04:16.945 --> 01:04:20.588 we see him probably 2026, 01:04:20.588 --> 01:04:21.889 maybe 25 at some point, 01:04:21.929 --> 01:04:24.090 depending on where the Tigers are at. 01:04:24.210 --> 01:04:24.811 Actually, no, probably 2026. 01:04:24.911 --> 01:04:26.692 I don't think he jumps that quick. 01:04:27.932 --> 01:04:28.793 A lot of these guys are all 01:04:28.833 --> 01:04:30.034 high A. So the next one is 01:04:30.074 --> 01:04:31.554 the 76th ranked prospect. 01:04:31.655 --> 01:04:32.916 It's shortstop Sebastian 01:04:32.956 --> 01:04:34.998 Walcott from the Texas Rangers. 01:04:35.938 --> 01:04:36.318 Last week, 01:04:36.338 --> 01:04:38.119 he went seven for 23 with a double, 01:04:38.699 --> 01:04:40.260 two home runs, four RBIs, 01:04:40.300 --> 01:04:41.041 three runs scored, 01:04:41.081 --> 01:04:42.242 three walks and a stolen base. 01:04:43.333 --> 01:04:44.673 And the final one is one of 01:04:44.713 --> 01:04:45.594 my favorite to watch. 01:04:45.635 --> 01:04:47.534 He's from the University of Vanderbilt. 01:04:48.094 --> 01:04:48.934 I hope I didn't just screw 01:04:48.974 --> 01:04:49.956 that up and piss off a lot 01:04:49.996 --> 01:04:50.755 of Vanderbilt people. 01:04:51.615 --> 01:04:52.356 But he's from Vanderbilt. 01:04:53.217 --> 01:04:54.297 I really hope I really – now 01:04:54.317 --> 01:04:54.936 it's going to bug me. 01:04:55.637 --> 01:04:57.498 So Vanderbilt or University of Vanderbilt? 01:04:58.697 --> 01:05:00.077 It's Vanderbilt University. 01:05:00.818 --> 01:05:01.918 It's Vanderbilt University. 01:05:02.498 --> 01:05:04.119 He's the 96th ranked prospect, 01:05:04.798 --> 01:05:06.139 high A for the Baltimore Orioles. 01:05:06.159 --> 01:05:07.300 It's Enrique Bradfield. 01:05:07.980 --> 01:05:08.840 And I've been high on him 01:05:08.880 --> 01:05:09.661 since he got drafted. 01:05:09.701 --> 01:05:10.740 He's a guy with a lot of speed. 01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:12.019 On the bases, 01:05:12.740 --> 01:05:14.942 he went five for 17 with three doubles, 01:05:15.242 --> 01:05:18.204 four RBIs, five runs scored, four walks, 01:05:18.264 --> 01:05:19.284 and two stolen bases. 01:05:20.565 --> 01:05:22.065 So a lot of those high A guys. 01:05:22.086 --> 01:05:23.166 It's going to be interesting to watch, 01:05:23.206 --> 01:05:24.708 especially with two of them 01:05:24.967 --> 01:05:26.048 where I follow a lot of the 01:05:26.128 --> 01:05:26.728 Eastern League. 01:05:27.369 --> 01:05:28.289 I'll be seeing a lot of them 01:05:28.349 --> 01:05:29.610 probably next year because 01:05:29.630 --> 01:05:31.012 they're one level away from the double A. 01:05:32.605 --> 01:05:34.126 The final one is your guy, 01:05:35.005 --> 01:05:37.146 pitcher Rhett Lowder from 01:05:37.166 --> 01:05:38.608 AA for the Cincinnati Reds. 01:05:39.367 --> 01:05:40.728 Out of the top 100 pitchers, 01:05:40.829 --> 01:05:41.969 he had the best week, 01:05:41.989 --> 01:05:42.989 and it wasn't even close. 01:05:44.190 --> 01:05:45.731 He got a win going six innings, 01:05:45.771 --> 01:05:47.652 didn't allow a run, gave up one hit, 01:05:47.992 --> 01:05:49.833 didn't issue a walk, and struck out six. 01:05:51.331 --> 01:05:52.373 The way he's pitching this year, 01:05:52.393 --> 01:05:53.572 you've got to realistically 01:05:53.592 --> 01:05:54.153 start wondering. 01:05:54.213 --> 01:05:55.333 He's looking really, really good. 01:05:55.353 --> 01:05:57.195 I'm surprised they still 01:05:57.255 --> 01:05:58.516 have him at Chattanooga and 01:05:58.576 --> 01:05:59.476 not up at Louisville. 01:05:59.856 --> 01:06:00.856 That's what I was going to say. 01:06:00.896 --> 01:06:02.197 Louisville's got to be coming soon. 01:06:02.518 --> 01:06:03.297 We say the same thing about 01:06:03.338 --> 01:06:04.338 the Red Sox big three. 01:06:04.478 --> 01:06:05.820 When are they going to Worcester? 01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:07.239 Realistically, 01:06:07.280 --> 01:06:08.701 I think the conversation is 01:06:08.740 --> 01:06:09.942 going to start for him to 01:06:09.981 --> 01:06:10.521 go to Louisville. 01:06:11.311 --> 01:06:12.032 Yeah. 01:06:12.271 --> 01:06:13.233 So moving aside from the 01:06:13.273 --> 01:06:14.293 prospects of the week that 01:06:14.313 --> 01:06:15.054 I want to talk about, 01:06:15.074 --> 01:06:18.355 the first news is Travis Bazzano, 01:06:18.675 --> 01:06:19.875 the first overall pick to 01:06:19.894 --> 01:06:20.856 the Cleveland Guardians. 01:06:21.715 --> 01:06:23.197 He signed his contract and 01:06:23.237 --> 01:06:25.237 he made his debut at high 01:06:25.257 --> 01:06:27.398 A. And last week in two games, 01:06:27.438 --> 01:06:28.458 he went two for seven with 01:06:28.498 --> 01:06:30.358 a double and RBI and two runs scored. 01:06:31.119 --> 01:06:32.219 He looked pretty good at the plate, 01:06:32.260 --> 01:06:32.960 looked comfortable. 01:06:35.244 --> 01:06:36.085 And he was, to me, 01:06:36.146 --> 01:06:37.166 one of the best hitting 01:06:37.206 --> 01:06:38.527 prospects coming into this draft. 01:06:38.568 --> 01:06:39.347 I know everybody wanted 01:06:39.427 --> 01:06:42.411 Charlie Condon in the first three picks. 01:06:42.471 --> 01:06:43.371 He ended up realistically 01:06:43.391 --> 01:06:44.452 going to Colorado. 01:06:45.713 --> 01:06:47.074 But Pisano, to me, 01:06:47.114 --> 01:06:48.074 was a lot of fun to watch 01:06:48.094 --> 01:06:48.856 at Oregon State. 01:06:49.476 --> 01:06:50.096 He's a good hitter. 01:06:51.117 --> 01:06:51.918 Definitely somebody to watch 01:06:51.938 --> 01:06:52.838 that could quickly rise 01:06:52.858 --> 01:06:53.498 through the ranks for the 01:06:53.539 --> 01:06:54.639 Guardians as if they need 01:06:54.659 --> 01:06:55.960 more talent to hit that team. 01:06:55.981 --> 01:06:57.621 Kwon loved him. 01:06:57.922 --> 01:06:59.903 Kwon spoke extremely high of him. 01:07:00.224 --> 01:07:01.744 Another Oregon State guy. 01:07:04.126 --> 01:07:05.007 Very interesting. 01:07:06.126 --> 01:07:07.467 And the final bit of prospect news, 01:07:07.487 --> 01:07:08.527 this one actually was a 01:07:08.568 --> 01:07:10.128 tough one this week that I saw. 01:07:10.148 --> 01:07:13.989 His 49th overall prospect in the top 100, 01:07:13.989 --> 01:07:15.250 also before I say his name. 01:07:15.869 --> 01:07:17.510 The rookies, 01:07:17.670 --> 01:07:19.090 the prospects that were drafted, 01:07:19.652 --> 01:07:20.751 some of them will also be 01:07:20.771 --> 01:07:21.871 in this month's top 100, 01:07:21.871 --> 01:07:23.132 which is why it's coming out in August. 01:07:23.713 --> 01:07:24.932 So Bazana is on the list. 01:07:25.052 --> 01:07:25.873 I didn't want to tease and 01:07:25.893 --> 01:07:26.873 give away where he's coming 01:07:26.914 --> 01:07:27.713 in the rankings at, 01:07:27.753 --> 01:07:29.074 so I left the numbers off for him. 01:07:30.175 --> 01:07:31.956 But the 49th overall prospect, 01:07:31.976 --> 01:07:32.695 Ricky Tiedemann, 01:07:33.215 --> 01:07:33.936 has been announced he's 01:07:34.016 --> 01:07:35.416 undergoing Tommy John surgery. 01:07:36.432 --> 01:07:38.393 This season, an eight-game start, 01:07:38.434 --> 01:07:42.757 he was 0-1 with a 519 ERA, a 167 whip, 01:07:42.757 --> 01:07:44.797 27 strikeouts and 17 at third innings. 01:07:44.998 --> 01:07:46.398 He's the top prospect for 01:07:46.418 --> 01:07:49.681 the Blue Jays based on our rankings. 01:07:50.981 --> 01:07:53.081 They were hoping on him 01:07:53.141 --> 01:07:53.943 coming up this year, 01:07:54.083 --> 01:07:55.623 kind of banking on him, I think, to be... 01:07:56.485 --> 01:07:58.065 you know, a number five guy for them. 01:07:58.505 --> 01:07:59.246 It didn't work out, 01:07:59.565 --> 01:08:00.545 and then it's kind of been 01:08:00.925 --> 01:08:02.086 a downfall from there since 01:08:02.327 --> 01:08:03.847 it didn't work out with his first injury, 01:08:04.387 --> 01:08:06.307 where it was, you know, 01:08:06.608 --> 01:08:07.989 Bowden Francis got the nod 01:08:08.028 --> 01:08:08.989 out of spring training. 01:08:09.588 --> 01:08:11.630 Then it was more of a 01:08:11.670 --> 01:08:12.650 piggyback where they went 01:08:12.710 --> 01:08:14.510 Yariel Rodriguez into Francis, 01:08:15.451 --> 01:08:18.332 and Rodriguez just got sent down. 01:08:18.412 --> 01:08:19.492 Francis started tonight. 01:08:19.612 --> 01:08:20.592 I don't know the score of 01:08:20.632 --> 01:08:21.432 that game right now. 01:08:21.453 --> 01:08:24.613 I haven't seen it on my TV once, but... 01:08:25.466 --> 01:08:26.548 That's tough news for a guy. 01:08:26.628 --> 01:08:27.168 So, obviously, 01:08:27.189 --> 01:08:28.451 undergoing Tommy John right 01:08:28.490 --> 01:08:30.895 now probably ends his 2025 01:08:30.895 --> 01:08:31.716 campaign as well. 01:08:32.256 --> 01:08:33.318 So, realistically, 01:08:33.658 --> 01:08:34.378 probably don't expect to 01:08:34.458 --> 01:08:36.542 see him until 2026. 01:08:36.542 --> 01:08:37.604 And the Blue Jays are selling. 01:08:37.644 --> 01:08:39.046 So, now Kikuchi is going to be gone. 01:08:39.145 --> 01:08:40.186 We talked about Bassett. 01:08:40.787 --> 01:08:42.170 So, the rotation is starting to get slim. 01:08:42.210 --> 01:08:42.850 And they don't have... 01:08:44.092 --> 01:08:45.394 Very many prospects coming. 01:08:45.533 --> 01:08:45.994 No, they don't. 01:08:46.015 --> 01:08:47.315 There's two in the top 100. 01:08:47.876 --> 01:08:48.697 They got a little bit better 01:08:48.756 --> 01:08:49.658 tonight with that trade for 01:08:49.797 --> 01:08:53.060 Cucci as the final names are coming in. 01:08:53.100 --> 01:08:54.041 We also have a trade that 01:08:54.060 --> 01:08:54.721 just came through. 01:08:56.684 --> 01:08:57.944 The Brewers got their starting pitcher. 01:08:59.485 --> 01:09:01.067 They got Frankie Montas from the Reds. 01:09:01.768 --> 01:09:02.507 No shit. 01:09:04.310 --> 01:09:05.070 No return yet. 01:09:08.533 --> 01:09:09.154 Okay. 01:09:10.935 --> 01:09:11.895 He's been pitching well. 01:09:11.935 --> 01:09:12.556 I mean, he just 01:09:13.206 --> 01:09:14.985 He hasn't been getting the run support. 01:09:15.025 --> 01:09:16.907 He has not been bad this year. 01:09:16.966 --> 01:09:18.207 It's been very similar to 01:09:18.506 --> 01:09:20.547 previous years for Montez, 01:09:20.568 --> 01:09:21.868 where he's been consistent, 01:09:21.988 --> 01:09:23.908 but just no run support. 01:09:24.108 --> 01:09:25.429 He's had a couple of bad outings, 01:09:25.469 --> 01:09:26.309 but he hasn't been bad. 01:09:26.809 --> 01:09:27.469 It's interesting that 01:09:27.488 --> 01:09:28.628 they're doing it within the division. 01:09:31.289 --> 01:09:33.010 So that was a two year deal though. 01:09:33.149 --> 01:09:36.610 So ultimately it's not a huge, you know, 01:09:36.631 --> 01:09:37.371 he wasn't long. 01:09:37.390 --> 01:09:39.131 I mean, we just mentioned louder, um, 01:09:41.192 --> 01:09:42.233 I'm a little shocked 01:09:42.773 --> 01:09:44.594 considering Graham Ashcraft 01:09:44.654 --> 01:09:45.755 was just moved to the 01:09:45.774 --> 01:09:47.917 60-day injured list. 01:09:49.238 --> 01:09:52.239 So, hey, the Reds have to do something. 01:09:52.279 --> 01:09:53.560 They realize I'll be very 01:09:53.621 --> 01:09:55.082 interested to see what the return is. 01:09:55.641 --> 01:09:56.323 Yep. 01:09:57.564 --> 01:09:59.385 But that's not a shocker. 01:10:01.947 --> 01:10:02.087 Yep. 01:10:02.646 --> 01:10:03.887 So that's all I have on the 01:10:03.927 --> 01:10:04.588 prospects front. 01:10:04.689 --> 01:10:05.949 I have no update on the 01:10:05.989 --> 01:10:08.150 return yet for Montas, 01:10:08.511 --> 01:10:10.233 but he's one of the Brewers. 01:10:11.231 --> 01:10:12.872 interesting uh I will 01:10:12.931 --> 01:10:15.472 probably might not be 01:10:15.533 --> 01:10:16.453 tonight but I might do a 01:10:16.493 --> 01:10:17.512 little recap of that for 01:10:17.533 --> 01:10:18.533 the reds tomorrow in 01:10:18.573 --> 01:10:19.793 regards to what the return 01:10:19.854 --> 01:10:21.594 was and what that means for 01:10:21.613 --> 01:10:24.573 the rotation so to end this 01:10:24.793 --> 01:10:26.074 I'm not going to get into 01:10:26.175 --> 01:10:27.255 too much in depth because 01:10:27.274 --> 01:10:28.354 we're already over an hour 01:10:28.375 --> 01:10:29.994 I want to keep this short 01:10:30.055 --> 01:10:32.735 and sweet um I've already 01:10:32.815 --> 01:10:34.996 seen your week ahead and I 01:10:35.055 --> 01:10:38.337 think given what we know about the uh 01:10:40.795 --> 01:10:42.896 Why don't you go ahead and 01:10:43.497 --> 01:10:46.020 do the week matchups, 01:10:46.140 --> 01:10:47.180 and I'll do the weekends. 01:10:47.280 --> 01:10:48.322 But if you've got something 01:10:48.382 --> 01:10:50.384 specific to add in, by all means, 01:10:51.546 --> 01:10:52.787 trying to keep it short and sweet. 01:10:52.827 --> 01:10:53.908 So who are your top two 01:10:53.988 --> 01:10:55.469 matchups for this week? 01:10:55.869 --> 01:10:57.511 The first one is Yankees-Phillies. 01:10:58.152 --> 01:10:59.132 The Phillies are clearly the 01:10:59.172 --> 01:11:00.373 best team in the National League. 01:11:00.833 --> 01:11:01.994 The Yankees are making moves 01:11:02.055 --> 01:11:03.777 to compete with the Orioles 01:11:03.796 --> 01:11:04.478 for the AL East. 01:11:05.228 --> 01:11:05.988 So at the end of the day, 01:11:06.007 --> 01:11:06.889 we could be talking about 01:11:07.128 --> 01:11:08.109 that being a World Series 01:11:08.369 --> 01:11:10.411 preview and a 2009 rematch, 01:11:12.311 --> 01:11:13.452 which I think the Phillies are better, 01:11:13.612 --> 01:11:14.252 just not tonight. 01:11:14.273 --> 01:11:15.033 I think it's still – the 01:11:15.052 --> 01:11:15.934 last I saw was 3-1. 01:11:16.014 --> 01:11:17.434 I haven't gotten an update on a score. 01:11:19.154 --> 01:11:19.855 But I think that's going to 01:11:19.876 --> 01:11:20.636 be a fun series to watch. 01:11:20.676 --> 01:11:21.115 The other one, 01:11:21.697 --> 01:11:22.936 and we mentioned the race right now, 01:11:23.398 --> 01:11:24.217 it's the Red Sox and the 01:11:24.238 --> 01:11:25.498 Mariners with them being 01:11:25.538 --> 01:11:26.618 separated by a half a game. 01:11:27.640 --> 01:11:28.520 So I think this series is 01:11:28.579 --> 01:11:30.180 huge to the long run of the season. 01:11:30.341 --> 01:11:31.782 It could make or break either side, 01:11:32.162 --> 01:11:33.523 even with the trade deadline, you know, 01:11:34.309 --> 01:11:35.208 Rosarena and Turner are 01:11:35.229 --> 01:11:35.930 going to be Mariners. 01:11:36.170 --> 01:11:38.990 Turner probably will play, my guess is, 01:11:39.051 --> 01:11:40.072 tomorrow or Wednesday. 01:11:40.091 --> 01:11:40.752 Yeah. 01:11:40.811 --> 01:11:41.832 So you get to see the full 01:11:41.851 --> 01:11:42.712 Mariners lineup and what 01:11:42.733 --> 01:11:45.753 they can be for the rest of this run. 01:11:46.033 --> 01:11:47.414 But the Red Sox, you get to see, 01:11:47.595 --> 01:11:48.635 are they going to compete still? 01:11:48.654 --> 01:11:49.416 Yeah. 01:11:49.456 --> 01:11:50.956 This is proof in this tough stretch, 01:11:50.996 --> 01:11:51.377 you know, what, 01:11:51.556 --> 01:11:52.737 two and seven out of the break. 01:11:53.396 --> 01:11:54.618 They're up 14-3 right now in 01:11:54.658 --> 01:11:58.739 the eighth on game one, so... That's huge, 01:11:58.760 --> 01:12:00.820 because their bats were quiet last night. 01:12:01.161 --> 01:12:01.621 Yeah, they were. 01:12:01.940 --> 01:12:03.662 Rondon looked good, so... 01:12:04.719 --> 01:12:06.420 So your weekend series, 01:12:06.841 --> 01:12:09.802 and I think obviously for 01:12:09.863 --> 01:12:11.243 what matters for baseball, 01:12:11.264 --> 01:12:12.864 I don't think I had 01:12:12.925 --> 01:12:14.265 anything different than you 01:12:14.305 --> 01:12:15.987 did in regards to what I was looking at. 01:12:16.608 --> 01:12:19.569 I think the Orioles are a 01:12:19.670 --> 01:12:21.030 team that are going up 01:12:21.070 --> 01:12:22.372 against the Cleveland Guardians. 01:12:22.471 --> 01:12:23.551 The Guardians have been 01:12:23.613 --> 01:12:25.554 consistent just all year long. 01:12:26.762 --> 01:12:28.844 And how do they match up 01:12:28.904 --> 01:12:30.865 against this young Orioles team? 01:12:31.286 --> 01:12:32.266 Can they stay the course? 01:12:32.306 --> 01:12:33.466 Can they win the series? 01:12:33.927 --> 01:12:35.127 If they win the series, 01:12:36.109 --> 01:12:37.449 high likelihood the Yankees 01:12:37.569 --> 01:12:40.070 are top of the AL East this weekend. 01:12:41.112 --> 01:12:41.931 And if not, 01:12:42.072 --> 01:12:44.293 does that give the Twins a chance? 01:12:44.373 --> 01:12:45.094 So that, to me, 01:12:45.154 --> 01:12:46.154 is a very interesting 01:12:46.255 --> 01:12:48.475 series to pay attention to. 01:12:49.117 --> 01:12:51.377 And then the other one, again, includes... 01:12:52.323 --> 01:12:55.404 the top team in the National 01:12:55.465 --> 01:12:57.284 League East against the 01:12:58.345 --> 01:13:00.265 tied-for-first American 01:13:00.286 --> 01:13:01.627 League West Seattle 01:13:01.667 --> 01:13:03.527 Mariners and the Philadelphia Phillies, 01:13:03.606 --> 01:13:06.068 which I think will be a big 01:13:06.167 --> 01:13:08.769 test for the Mariners with 01:13:08.809 --> 01:13:10.569 their new pieces because, like you said, 01:13:10.789 --> 01:13:12.170 Turner should play this week, 01:13:12.630 --> 01:13:14.291 but definitely this weekend. 01:13:15.350 --> 01:13:16.150 And it'll be very 01:13:16.251 --> 01:13:17.832 interesting to see how they match up. 01:13:17.872 --> 01:13:18.872 The only thing that stinks... 01:13:19.782 --> 01:13:21.162 is rodriguez is on the 01:13:21.182 --> 01:13:22.582 10-day il because that 01:13:22.622 --> 01:13:24.144 would be a better test but 01:13:24.724 --> 01:13:25.764 it'll be interesting to see 01:13:25.804 --> 01:13:28.125 what they do so all four of 01:13:28.185 --> 01:13:29.485 these matchups have 01:13:30.246 --> 01:13:32.306 standings implications and 01:13:32.407 --> 01:13:33.868 wild card implications 01:13:33.927 --> 01:13:35.007 given where the mariners 01:13:35.108 --> 01:13:37.029 are tied so it'll be very 01:13:37.109 --> 01:13:37.868 interesting to see what 01:13:37.908 --> 01:13:39.449 happens but I will not be 01:13:39.529 --> 01:13:42.451 shocked if we get together 01:13:42.511 --> 01:13:44.792 monday as long as I can and 01:13:44.851 --> 01:13:47.632 the yankees are top of the east yeah 01:13:48.765 --> 01:13:49.845 Much I hate to admit it. 01:13:49.926 --> 01:13:51.127 Unless something else changes, 01:13:51.487 --> 01:13:52.766 they're another team that 01:13:55.087 --> 01:13:57.069 Montaz going to the Orioles 01:13:57.189 --> 01:13:59.270 wouldn't have been horrible. 01:14:01.190 --> 01:14:02.230 I'll be interested to see if 01:14:02.270 --> 01:14:03.331 they do anything else or if 01:14:03.371 --> 01:14:07.092 they stand pat, which we've talked about. 01:14:07.132 --> 01:14:08.432 They've got so many places 01:14:08.472 --> 01:14:10.734 that are clogged with prospects that 01:14:12.289 --> 01:14:13.211 it would have made sense for 01:14:13.230 --> 01:14:13.970 them to make a play. 01:14:14.011 --> 01:14:14.931 And who knows?
