Instant Reaction: Tigers Trade Skubal To Dodgers · Tiger Territory: A Detroit Tigers Podcast

0:09
Speaker 1: And welcome in to another episode of Tiger Territory, part
0:12
Speaker 1: of the Foul Territory Nork Detroit Tigers podcast special episode
0:15
Speaker 1: with me as always a man who is sleepless in Sacramento.
0:19
Speaker 1: He is Cody Stavenag And how are we doing?
0:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, doing all right on the way to Seattle, but
0:23
Speaker 2: not there yet. All we have to talk about today,
0:27
Speaker 2: Kieran is one of the biggest trades in Detroit Tiger's history,
0:31
Speaker 2: a deal that I'm sure we will be rehashing, for
0:33
Speaker 2: better or for worse, for years to come, so we
0:37
Speaker 2: might as well get to it. The Tigers have traded
0:39
Speaker 2: Trek Scougle to the Los Angeles Dodgers. In return, they're
0:43
Speaker 2: getting xiety Or Hope and outfield prospect River Ryan, a
0:46
Speaker 2: right handed pitcher, and Brady Smith, a right handed pitcher.
0:50
Speaker 2: So three players. Two of them in Hope and Ryan,
0:53
Speaker 2: are top fifty prospects in the sport, at least according
0:56
Speaker 2: to Keith Law's latest list. They're from the Dodgers. It's
1:00
Speaker 2: talent rich system. The reactions, the grades, they're they're kind
1:04
Speaker 2: of all over the place. So we can dive into
1:06
Speaker 2: it all a little bit more right now.
1:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll say off the top, I don't know
1:12
Speaker 1: if Scott Harris did this intentionally, but I cannot, in
1:15
Speaker 1: principle come out heavily against this trade because two of
1:19
Speaker 1: the guys in this trade are who I mocked a
1:22
Speaker 1: school bol Dodger's trade just earlier this week, Cody. So
1:26
Speaker 1: obviously I'm gonna have positive feelings about the return because
1:30
Speaker 1: I do believe in zyr Hope. I do see the
1:33
Speaker 1: appeal of a river Ryan, and then you know Brady Smith.
1:36
Speaker 1: I understand the rationale there of getting a young, talented
1:39
Speaker 1: arm in your system and letting him grow. So my
1:44
Speaker 1: gut reaction was this felt like a solid return for
1:48
Speaker 1: Trek Schoogle, given that it's a couple months plus postseason,
1:52
Speaker 1: given that it's an expiring contract, given that this is
1:55
Speaker 1: a guy that's near thirty, that is going to that
1:58
Speaker 1: has had arm trouble well this season and obviously has
2:02
Speaker 1: had arm trouble in the past. I don't know if
2:05
Speaker 1: this was the most well played trade, and we'll get
2:08
Speaker 1: to that part of it in a second, but the
2:10
Speaker 1: return is a reasonable return for me. I wish I
2:16
Speaker 1: could come out here and say like, I can't believe
2:18
Speaker 1: they did this. No, I actually do believe they did this.
2:21
Speaker 1: I think this makes a lot of sense, and I
2:22
Speaker 1: want to get to hope here more in a second.
2:25
Speaker 1: But to me, what we have here was the Tigers
2:28
Speaker 1: doing the framework that we had talked about earlier this week,
2:31
Speaker 1: which was a talented athletic position player prospect that is,
2:36
Speaker 1: you know, kind of approaching major league ready, a major
2:38
Speaker 1: league ready arm, and then sore of a lottery ticket.
2:41
Speaker 1: And if you check all those boxes, it's hard for
2:43
Speaker 1: me to come out down here and say that the
2:45
Speaker 1: Tigers fumbled the Schooble trade. I think they got good value, Cody.
2:50
Speaker 1: That's my gut reaction.
2:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's kind of an interesting thing to dive into,
2:55
Speaker 2: right because there are always people who are going to say, well,
2:58
Speaker 2: why didn't they get more, especially dealing with a franchise
3:01
Speaker 2: like the Dodgers that is so rich in talent, And
3:04
Speaker 2: maybe that's a fair criticism. The Tigers got this done early,
3:07
Speaker 2: which was a little bit of a shocker. Could they
3:09
Speaker 2: have done more negotiating, more leveraging, I don't know. We'll
3:13
Speaker 2: probably never fully know. At the end of the day,
3:15
Speaker 2: the Tigers, like I said, they're getting two top fifty prospects.
3:18
Speaker 2: This is one of the biggest returns for a rental
3:21
Speaker 2: in the history of the league. And to get a
3:24
Speaker 2: return like that, especially in today's environment where you just
3:27
Speaker 2: don't see those blockbusters much anymore, it's pretty good they
3:31
Speaker 2: did all right. You know, I don't think it exceeded expectations,
3:35
Speaker 2: but I think it was pretty much in line with
3:37
Speaker 2: what my expectations were. Hope is a really interesting prospect.
3:41
Speaker 2: He's got power, he's got speed, he can hit all fields.
3:46
Speaker 2: Outfielder who's played a little bit in center, you know
3:48
Speaker 2: the word. It is not great instincts, probably better suited
3:51
Speaker 2: for a corner but the bat is really really interesting.
3:55
Speaker 2: Now there's some risk there, right, there's some swing and miss.
3:59
Speaker 2: It's kind of become power overhit as this year has
4:01
Speaker 2: gone by, but he's had a fantastic year in Double A.
4:05
Speaker 2: Hope is probably gonna slot in and once Max Clark
4:08
Speaker 2: graduates from prospect status, potentially be the Tiger's highest ranked prospect.
4:12
Speaker 2: Might be close with Bryce Rayner. We'll see. But this
4:16
Speaker 2: is a fun guy who has a kind of a
4:18
Speaker 2: skill set that Tigers don't really have a ton of
4:20
Speaker 2: in the system beyond like Jose Bersanio, which is power,
4:25
Speaker 2: and he also has speed, which is another skill set
4:27
Speaker 2: they haven't always had a lot of. So I think
4:30
Speaker 2: that's interesting and I do agree with the takes that
4:32
Speaker 2: how you view this deal probably really does center on
4:36
Speaker 2: what you think of River. Ryan River Ryan the righty starter.
4:40
Speaker 2: He's almost twenty eight years old. He had Tommy John
4:43
Speaker 2: surgery soon after his major league debut. He's nursing a
4:46
Speaker 2: hamstring issue right now. But when he's healthy, I would
4:49
Speaker 2: not be surprised if he's in the major leagues. This
4:51
Speaker 2: is a guy who can touch triple digits, who has
4:53
Speaker 2: three nasty plus breaking balls. Their scouts who think he
4:59
Speaker 2: could be in a if he stays healthy. There are
5:01
Speaker 2: scouts who think he'll never stay healthy, and there's just
5:04
Speaker 2: too much reliever risk. That's one of the things you
5:07
Speaker 2: never know, and that wears out there. Well, he's an
5:09
Speaker 2: injury prone twenty seven year old. My only counter that'd
5:14
Speaker 2: be I don't know. It wasn't all that long ago.
5:15
Speaker 2: Trek Skouble was an injury prone twenty seven year old.
5:19
Speaker 2: Ryan Obviously, you know, has to pitch in the big leagues.
5:21
Speaker 2: You have to get him healthy because he's an intriguing arm.
5:26
Speaker 2: There's a thought like, oh, well, that the Tiger's got
5:28
Speaker 2: Ryan instead of Immit she Hans. So is that a failure.
5:32
Speaker 2: I don't know. Im she Han's really good. He's a
5:33
Speaker 2: pitcher I like coming into the season River Ryan was
5:37
Speaker 2: ranked higher than Immit shehn on some of these lists though,
5:39
Speaker 2: so that this is all fluid stuff. And even in
5:42
Speaker 2: Smith he's a little bit of the throw in, but
5:45
Speaker 2: he's had a good year. This is a capable player,
5:48
Speaker 2: almost an underrated type prospect in the Dodgers system who
5:51
Speaker 2: could be certainly a top twenty, maybe top fifteen prospect
5:57
Speaker 2: in the Tigers system. He's averaging fourteen k's for nine
6:00
Speaker 2: right now in a ball There are some command issues.
6:04
Speaker 2: We'll see if he can stick as a starter. The
6:05
Speaker 2: thought is he could still have the upside of a
6:08
Speaker 2: mid rotation starter. So you get three guys who all
6:11
Speaker 2: have pretty massive upside, and that's what I like about
6:14
Speaker 2: this deal. Really, if one of them really hits, you
6:17
Speaker 2: could feel good. However, there is also some risk in
6:20
Speaker 2: all three guys, and maybe that's what you don't like,
6:23
Speaker 2: especially dealing with the Dodgers. Could you have got one
6:25
Speaker 2: of their prospects, maybe with a little bit of a
6:27
Speaker 2: higher floor. But if I had degrade it a B
6:31
Speaker 2: B plus, like I think they did fine, and we'll
6:35
Speaker 2: only have the rest of eternity to argue if it,
6:38
Speaker 2: you know, if it ends up not panning out.
6:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a bee. I would probably go B plus
6:44
Speaker 1: if we got If this deal is on Monday, and
6:47
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, the timing of it, maybe
6:50
Speaker 1: there could have been more, as you said, maybe you
6:51
Speaker 1: could squeeze something a little bit more out of the Dodgers,
6:53
Speaker 1: Maybe the Brewers, you know, come in with an offer
6:56
Speaker 1: that's comparable, you know whatever. Saturday night obviously feel a
7:00
Speaker 1: little early. But again we're kind of like splitting hairs here.
7:03
Speaker 1: And then I would have preferred a position player lottery
7:06
Speaker 1: ticket as opposed to a smith, just because I think
7:09
Speaker 1: those guys have a lot of value in your system.
7:12
Speaker 1: But again, kind of kind of splitting hairs here. Let's
7:15
Speaker 1: let's get to hope a little bit, because there's been
7:19
Speaker 1: there's been some it's like as soon as this guy
7:22
Speaker 1: like gets trade to the Tigers, it's like all these
7:24
Speaker 1: things that he was hyped up for now get kind
7:26
Speaker 1: of clamped a little bit, and like and you know,
7:29
Speaker 1: the you know, like the power over bat thing is
7:31
Speaker 1: that you know that you just said. I look at
7:34
Speaker 1: his track record, Cody, and I see like a like
7:37
Speaker 1: a great like athletic mold that over the course of
7:42
Speaker 1: being with the Dodgers, because they really did kind of
7:43
Speaker 1: start once he got into the Dodgers system, He's become
7:46
Speaker 1: like a more complete baseball player year over year. Keith
7:49
Speaker 1: Law has written about this in his prospect rankings. And
7:52
Speaker 1: he is a fresh He's twenty one and a half,
7:56
Speaker 1: all right, so he's not like necessarily fresh twenty one,
7:58
Speaker 1: but he'll be twenty two in spring training year. Mike
8:01
Speaker 1: Serrata like that A lot of people, like you know,
8:04
Speaker 1: wanted from the Dodgers. He's gonna next year is his
8:06
Speaker 1: age twenty four season. He's also in Double A, by
8:09
Speaker 1: the way, you know, so so like so those things
8:12
Speaker 1: like actually matter to me, and I think actually work
8:14
Speaker 1: in Hope's favor. I easily easily Cody envision a Green
8:21
Speaker 1: Clark and Hope outfield in Detroit in the not too
8:25
Speaker 1: distant future. And I think that, you know, athletic, you know,
8:30
Speaker 1: maybe with Green as like a slight exception to that,
8:32
Speaker 1: but like like with a bat positive athletic positive like
8:37
Speaker 1: young you know, Ry Greens still kind of young outfield
8:40
Speaker 1: moving forward does intrigue me a whole lot. And I
8:44
Speaker 1: and I do believe that you know, be in the
8:46
Speaker 1: left handed swing, you know will work well in Comerica Park,
8:49
Speaker 1: with that speed, with that right center gap, you know
8:52
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like this is somebody who has taken
8:54
Speaker 1: the athletic gifts and become a more complete baseball player
8:57
Speaker 1: year over year. And I think that kind of gets
9:00
Speaker 1: lost in the fact that, oh, he's the fifth best
9:02
Speaker 1: prospect in the Dodgers system, as if that's some sort
9:05
Speaker 1: of like dang on his overall profile as a baseball player.
9:09
Speaker 1: And I think that the Tigers in this case correctly
9:13
Speaker 1: identify what they could get and what they could have
9:16
Speaker 1: in Xyre Hope, and I do believe that there is
9:19
Speaker 1: multi time All Star potential in this player, and if
9:23
Speaker 1: that is the case, this BB plus becomes a minimum
9:28
Speaker 1: right for this trade. So so I think people are
9:31
Speaker 1: sleeping on the Hope thing just because they go and
9:34
Speaker 1: they see, oh, he's the fifth best prospect. He has
9:37
Speaker 1: a combination of high end talent and also not far
9:41
Speaker 1: from the major leagues, which sometimes like would you feel
9:44
Speaker 1: better if you if you got one of the dudes
9:45
Speaker 1: that's not going to debut for four years, you know
9:47
Speaker 1: what I mean, you have a more established product with upside.
9:51
Speaker 1: So I'm all in on Zyre Hope.
9:54
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he's he's a really interesting player, and
9:56
Speaker 2: he is my favorite player in the deal I've heard.
10:00
Speaker 2: You know, he's put on some weight, not necessarily a
10:03
Speaker 2: good way over the past year. That's maybe one of
10:05
Speaker 2: the criticisms of him. So we'll see what that ends
10:07
Speaker 2: up looking like. But he's a shorter guy. I think
10:11
Speaker 2: five ten left handed hitters, short levers. There's just a
10:14
Speaker 2: lot to like about the overall profile. Really good makeup grades.
10:18
Speaker 2: Baseball like Q, even though, like we said, his outfield
10:21
Speaker 2: instincts not good, but baseball like Q seems to get
10:24
Speaker 2: good grades. You know. I did hear from one scout
10:27
Speaker 2: who said he doesn't love Hope a toon just because
10:30
Speaker 2: of the swing and misconcerns. So you know, there are
10:33
Speaker 2: some dissenting opinions on all three guys, which again is
10:37
Speaker 2: one of the interesting things. You know. Other scout said, Matt,
10:40
Speaker 2: I watched River Ryan in spring training and I just
10:42
Speaker 2: thought it was phenomenal. I just told the Tiger's fat
10:45
Speaker 2: scouts on Ryan and Smith all year and think very
10:48
Speaker 2: highly of both of them. Obviously they must like him
10:51
Speaker 2: they traded Skougel for them. But yeah, that's some of
10:55
Speaker 2: what we're dealing with. I think some of the mechanisms
10:57
Speaker 2: of how the deal went down were interesting, and I
11:01
Speaker 2: think we're gonna learn more about that in the days
11:02
Speaker 2: to come. But it sounds like the Tigers didn't waste
11:05
Speaker 2: a ton of time with talking to some other suitors.
11:10
Speaker 2: I heard from one source in another organization who said
11:12
Speaker 2: the Tigers basically told them, hey, thanks, but no thanks,
11:16
Speaker 2: almost making it sound like they were always focused on
11:18
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, perhaps knowing that's where the fit was, that's
11:22
Speaker 2: where the talent was. And believe it or not, it
11:24
Speaker 2: sounds like this team wasn't even talking badly about the
11:27
Speaker 2: Tigers or Scott Harris for that negotiation. It just sounds
11:30
Speaker 2: like that's the way things went down. So I don't know.
11:35
Speaker 2: It's interesting that Tigers got this done on Saturday night
11:37
Speaker 2: with a lot of time. It's still too spare, but
11:41
Speaker 2: also interesting that it doesn't sound like the industry is
11:43
Speaker 2: coming out of this knocking Scott Harris for the negotiations,
11:47
Speaker 2: like has happened in the past. Maybe that's a positive
11:50
Speaker 2: for the Tigers, or maybe they should have played more
11:52
Speaker 2: hardball again without really being in the room here, And
11:55
Speaker 2: I think that's one of the things that's a little
11:57
Speaker 2: bit hard to speculate on.
12:00
Speaker 1: Yes, and we'll have a better grasp of the full picture,
12:03
Speaker 1: including on Monday. Reminder, we will have a Monday Reaction
12:07
Speaker 1: Trade Deadline Reaction podcast and Foul Territory itself is covering
12:12
Speaker 1: the trade deadline all day and we have a promo
12:16
Speaker 1: that you guys need to listen to to get equated
12:18
Speaker 1: with that.
12:19
Speaker 3: There is one place to be on trade deadline day
12:23
Speaker 3: watching Foul Territory of course. Aj Perdinski, Eric Kratz, and
12:26
Speaker 3: Scott Braun will be live all afternoon speaking with insiders,
12:30
Speaker 3: reading tea leaves, and reacting to unfolding deadline drama. Join
12:34
Speaker 3: us on the FT YouTube channel at one pm ET
12:37
Speaker 3: and stay locked in through the six pm deadline next Monday.
12:41
Speaker 2: Foul Territory Network.
12:42
Speaker 3: It's baseball the way it should be covered.
12:48
Speaker 1: All right, Well, obviously all of the focus of Major
12:52
Speaker 1: League Baseball was where you were, Cody, where you are
12:55
Speaker 1: still over there in Sacramento with the schoobl trade. So
12:59
Speaker 1: I wonder, you know, we we got to the sort
13:01
Speaker 1: of like an instant reaction part of it. Can you
13:03
Speaker 1: just kind of take us to the scene and how
13:06
Speaker 1: everything went down, talking to school boy, talking to the teammates,
13:09
Speaker 1: talking to aj you know, like kind of being there
13:12
Speaker 1: when the trade goes down. There's still a game that
13:15
Speaker 1: got a little bit too comfortable there, but the Tigers
13:17
Speaker 1: end up winning. Just kind of take take us to, uh,
13:20
Speaker 1: to a historic day in Detroit Tigers baseball.
13:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was, uh, it was a very strange scene.
13:26
Speaker 2: It always is when a player gets traded, but especially
13:30
Speaker 2: when a player of Trek Scoogel's stature, a homegrown guy,
13:33
Speaker 2: a guy who's been with the Tigers for six seven years,
13:36
Speaker 2: gets traded. It it kind of takes the air out
13:39
Speaker 2: of the room. At the same time, the Tigers just
13:42
Speaker 2: won a game, an emotional game, a game that got
13:45
Speaker 2: chippy at that literally at the last hour, after the
13:47
Speaker 2: last out, And so yeah, I think it was a
13:51
Speaker 2: subdued mood in the clubhouse, one of those things where
13:54
Speaker 2: I'm not sure anyone knows how to act because the
13:57
Speaker 2: Tigers are also kind of trying to portray that Hey,
14:00
Speaker 2: the season's not over. We're more than just Schooble. I
14:03
Speaker 2: mean I went up to Jack Flaherty, someone who knows
14:06
Speaker 2: very much what Trek Scouobl is going through and about
14:08
Speaker 2: to go through, and he said, what was the score
14:12
Speaker 2: of the game? You know, eight five? Good victory? Like
14:15
Speaker 2: I'll talk about it tomorrow, and you know what, I
14:17
Speaker 2: understand that. I think that's a fair thing to say
14:20
Speaker 2: in that moment. The most interesting thing was Schoobl's interview.
14:26
Speaker 2: You guys may have seen it. I mean, he got
14:27
Speaker 2: choked up talking about his time with the Tigers, really
14:30
Speaker 2: talking about the fact he doesn't get to finish the
14:34
Speaker 2: job with those guys, some of his brothers, guys he's
14:37
Speaker 2: he's been to battle with over the years. He talked
14:40
Speaker 2: about both alds Game fives, clearly things that still eat
14:44
Speaker 2: at him, that not him. For as much as Schooble
14:47
Speaker 2: leaves town with you know, kind of differing opinions, it's yeah,
14:57
Speaker 2: it's so hard to talk about, like Schooble leaves town, right,
14:59
Speaker 2: and some people are and to knock him, as you know,
15:01
Speaker 2: he pitched long enough to see himself become the villain, right,
15:04
Speaker 2: But this is a guy who gave a lot to
15:06
Speaker 2: the franchise. I think the way he really got choked
15:09
Speaker 2: up in that interview is pretty telling as to how
15:11
Speaker 2: much the Tigers actually meant to Trek Schooble, even though
15:17
Speaker 2: he wasn't going to sign an extension. We know that,
15:19
Speaker 2: But this is the place where he grew up, where
15:21
Speaker 2: he developed, where he really poured his heart and soul
15:26
Speaker 2: into becoming one of the best pitchers in baseball. And
15:28
Speaker 2: so this is the end of an era for Terrek
15:30
Speaker 2: in his life and his story, and obviously for the Tigers,
15:33
Speaker 2: who are now down one of the best players in
15:36
Speaker 2: franchise history. That was a thought that came to my
15:38
Speaker 2: mind even in that room, Like, no, this season's not over,
15:41
Speaker 2: but man, this team's just not the same without Trek Scooble.
15:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like the fan equivalent of that is like not
15:53
Speaker 1: having somebody kind of represent like your favorite team, like
15:56
Speaker 1: on a like a national scale, the way that school
15:58
Speaker 1: Bole did with like just like his presence and his power.
16:01
Speaker 1: And then you know, the way everybody talked about him,
16:04
Speaker 1: like I you know, I'm old enough to remember like
16:08
Speaker 1: hyping him up to people who had never heard of him,
16:10
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I'm like, I'm telling you,
16:12
Speaker 1: I'm telling you.
16:12
Speaker 2: This school years ago.
16:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like I'm telling you this guy like is legit,
16:18
Speaker 1: and you know, and then you get the couple Cy
16:20
Speaker 1: Young's you know some you know, great playoff moments. I know,
16:23
Speaker 1: the Game five stuff is La craw but like you know,
16:25
Speaker 1: like I got to see him pitch twice in the playoffs,
16:28
Speaker 1: like amazing, amazing, and now like that just kind of
16:32
Speaker 1: gets taken away from you. That does that does sting.
16:35
Speaker 1: And then you know the element of windsign and extension
16:39
Speaker 1: just kind of the uneasiness with the arbitration piece of this,
16:41
Speaker 1: the WPC stuff, like you even just like getting hurt
16:45
Speaker 1: and the team going bad. Like this was not a
16:47
Speaker 1: Hollywood ending Schoogle's time in Detroit, unfortunately, but life is
16:52
Speaker 1: not made up of Hollywood endings. And I still, you know,
16:55
Speaker 1: will look back at this as being like one of
16:57
Speaker 1: the more fun baseball experiences I've had. A fan of
17:00
Speaker 1: this game is is watching Terek Schooble pitch for the
17:03
Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers, because it was it was much watch must
17:06
Speaker 1: watch every single uh pitch. So uh that's We'll have
17:10
Speaker 1: plenty of time also to reflect on on the era there.
17:12
Speaker 2: I did.
17:13
Speaker 1: I did like that School was not unafraid to like
17:17
Speaker 1: show his human side as he as he always does,
17:20
Speaker 1: but hopefully people in that moment could grasp the gravity
17:23
Speaker 1: of what he was going through too, and knowing that
17:26
Speaker 1: this was a tough moment for for him as well.
17:30
Speaker 1: So there'll be there will be time to talk more
17:34
Speaker 1: baseball in regards to the Tigers. Uh, there'll be time.
17:37
Speaker 1: We'll obviously see what what other moves are on the
17:40
Speaker 1: horizon or not on the horizon. But uh, but yeah,
17:45
Speaker 1: historic night. I went and saw the Jonas brothers at
17:47
Speaker 1: win Star Casino last night and uh, world's largest casino
17:51
Speaker 1: and Dackerville, Oklahoma. And I'll always remember that concert.
17:54
Speaker 2: Codyh Yeah, that's that's quite a place to be with
17:59
Speaker 2: the it goes down, Probably the last thing is substance,
18:03
Speaker 2: Like everyone's wondering, well, what else is coming? What else
18:05
Speaker 2: are the Tiger's going to do? Unclear in this moment,
18:10
Speaker 2: And I think it's always a little bit unclear. I
18:12
Speaker 2: think it was pretty well known Tigers are gonna have
18:14
Speaker 2: to trade Scoobel, and it's always been pretty up in
18:17
Speaker 2: the air in terms of what are they going to do?
18:19
Speaker 2: With Casey, Miz Glibertrez, perhaps others, and that's where I
18:24
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe their performance the past two nights does
18:27
Speaker 2: impact that a little more than it ever did the
18:29
Speaker 2: school situation. You don't have to trade those guys. You
18:32
Speaker 2: can make a run. I still think Myz is the
18:35
Speaker 2: single most interesting because again Schoopl's off that market now,
18:39
Speaker 2: so you know what just improved that Casey mys market
18:43
Speaker 2: And that may be a difficult call for Scott Harris. Again,
18:46
Speaker 2: he's going to have to wait the offers. There's a
18:49
Speaker 2: lot still to come in the next forty eight hours,
18:51
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure very many in the industry know
18:55
Speaker 2: what to expect. I think Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg
18:58
Speaker 2: maybe two of the only one who really know. I'm
19:01
Speaker 2: sure they're going to field offers for Mize and maybe
19:03
Speaker 2: Torres and maybe others. But how do they view this
19:07
Speaker 2: team now and are they willing to pull the trigger?
19:10
Speaker 2: That'll be pretty fascinating again, you know, one of the
19:12
Speaker 2: thoughts out there as well, they want someone who can
19:14
Speaker 2: kind of backfill Schooble spot in the rotation. River Ryan
19:17
Speaker 2: can do that, but he has to get healthy first,
19:20
Speaker 2: and he's not healthy right now hamstring injuries. So maybe
19:24
Speaker 2: I don't know the exact timeline. A couple of weeks
19:26
Speaker 2: at minimum before he's able to come to the majors.
19:29
Speaker 2: Does that make it harder to swallow trading another starter?
19:31
Speaker 2: We'll see, but uh, it probably comes down to the
19:34
Speaker 2: prospect capital and what sort of offers they can get
19:37
Speaker 2: for a pitcher like Casey Mice.
19:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, we uh, one piece no longer in uh in
19:45
Speaker 1: limbo Cody, and a couple more to come. But regardless,
19:50
Speaker 1: we will have answers. The next time that we talked,
19:52
Speaker 1: that will be Monday night. We'll put that up as
19:55
Speaker 1: soon as we can after the trade deadline, and we
19:58
Speaker 1: will assess. Maybe we'll have a better idea of the
20:01
Speaker 1: school market by then, maybe we'll have a better idea
20:03
Speaker 1: of what this team is really going to try to
20:05
Speaker 1: be this season and beyond. Can't wait to talk about
20:09
Speaker 1: it with you, Cody, can't wait to share our thoughts
