Speaker 1: All right, let's welcome in our insider Bob Nightingale. You
0:12
Speaker 1: can check out his work on USA Today. Let's get
0:15
Speaker 1: right into it, Bob, Hi, how.
0:17
Speaker 2: You doing, gat Jason goohead good?
0:20
Speaker 1: We were just talking about Will Smith being out for
0:23
Speaker 1: another month. Tell us what you got on that, what
0:25
Speaker 1: the latest is on that, and how it affects the
0:27
Speaker 1: Dodgers at this point.
0:29
Speaker 3: Yes, it's at least another month, and uh, you know,
0:32
Speaker 3: there's no guarantee they think he'll be back. There's no
0:35
Speaker 3: guarantee that he will. And if not, you don't want
0:37
Speaker 3: to trust Dalton Russian with that pitching staff, you know,
0:41
Speaker 3: the rest their way into the playoffs. So they're gonna
0:43
Speaker 3: look around a little bit for some insurance, you know,
0:46
Speaker 3: the name that everybody's kind of looking as Ryan Jeffers
0:48
Speaker 3: and Mensa twins. I think they'll end up trading him
0:52
Speaker 3: because they do have some catching depth and uh, you know,
0:55
Speaker 3: the Yankees and Rays have been all over him. They
0:57
Speaker 3: were in Chicago at ruth Field this weekend where I was,
1:01
Speaker 3: and you know, their whole objective or whole purpose wishes
1:05
Speaker 3: to watch Jeffers. So we'll see what happens. And then
1:08
Speaker 3: there's some catchers out there. I mean, Goodman is not
1:10
Speaker 3: going anywhere from Colorado, but there are some catchers out there.
1:15
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk nets.
1:17
Speaker 4: Sorry, go ahead, Todd, No.
1:18
Speaker 5: I was gonna stick in the NLS here real quick.
1:21
Speaker 5: Padres believed to be selling, buying. I mean, talk to
1:26
Speaker 5: me a little bit about this. Michael King has been good,
1:30
Speaker 5: I don't know, lasting runs per game. Talk to me
1:32
Speaker 5: a little bit. What are the Padres team gonna do?
1:35
Speaker 5: You know, as we're moving forward.
1:37
Speaker 3: You know, Kevin mess they don't really know what to do.
1:39
Speaker 3: They need some starting pitching. I think they're going to
1:42
Speaker 3: train Mason Miller and then get some starting pitching that
1:45
Speaker 3: way in some prospects. I don't think they're going to
1:48
Speaker 3: completely wave the white flag now with that fan base
1:51
Speaker 3: and not with those huge contracts, but I think, you know,
1:54
Speaker 3: if you're going to get some pieces, Miller's a guy.
1:57
Speaker 3: Because you be're not winning games, you're wasting Miller. And
2:00
Speaker 3: there were a couple of stretches this year already where
2:02
Speaker 3: he pitched like, you know, once in a week, you
2:04
Speaker 3: know twice and you know, twelve days, and it's just
2:07
Speaker 3: a waste of a talent. So he would make the
2:09
Speaker 3: most sense, and they would get you know, they would
2:12
Speaker 3: get a ton for him, not what they gave up
2:14
Speaker 3: to get him, but still a good return. Almost be
2:17
Speaker 3: like we did with Juan Soto. You know, got Soto
2:19
Speaker 3: didn't work out, you're able to move them again. At
2:22
Speaker 3: least got maybe seventy five cents of the dollar.
2:25
Speaker 6: Well, let's talk Mets. You know, you're talking about the
2:28
Speaker 6: potential of Francisco Indoor being traded in the winter time.
2:33
Speaker 6: I was there when they signed him to be the
2:34
Speaker 6: face of the franchise. Is this a good or bad look?
2:37
Speaker 6: Whereas it's just kind of a what they need to
2:39
Speaker 6: do in order to kind of move forward.
2:43
Speaker 3: I think they got to shake things up anyway. You know,
2:45
Speaker 3: you're heard whispers last year with the you know, Lindor
2:48
Speaker 3: and Soto not you know, being best friends, and then
2:52
Speaker 3: became public and now even Steve Cohen addressed it. So
2:56
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that's a problem, but they need to
2:58
Speaker 3: shake that whole thing up. And Bobby dumps some payroll too.
3:02
Speaker 3: Lindora would make the most sense. He's got a full
3:05
Speaker 3: note trade clause, but you know he may be like Nemos,
3:08
Speaker 3: So you know what, let me have a change of
3:09
Speaker 3: scenery here. I think with the money involved, there's just
3:12
Speaker 3: too much to get it done now. But during the winter,
3:17
Speaker 3: you know, you can you can work around that a
3:19
Speaker 3: lot easier. So I'd be a little surprised at this
3:22
Speaker 3: point to see him with the Mets come spring training.
3:26
Speaker 5: I also want to talk with the Mets here a
3:28
Speaker 5: little bit from a managerial perspective.
3:32
Speaker 3: Uh.
3:33
Speaker 5: I know that they haven't really searched much from what
3:35
Speaker 5: I'm hearing, But do you have a guy or two
3:38
Speaker 5: in mine who there you know, might be approaching come
3:41
Speaker 5: off season or maybe sooner than later.
3:45
Speaker 3: I think you. I think these are John's going to
3:46
Speaker 3: go to Carlos Beltrn unless something falls apart or he
3:49
Speaker 3: doesn't want it. I think he could have had it
3:51
Speaker 3: right now. But you know, he got the Hall of
3:53
Speaker 3: Fame coming up, you know, in a few days here,
3:56
Speaker 3: and uh, you don't want to, you know, be away
3:58
Speaker 3: from the team for three or four days. So I
4:00
Speaker 3: think he did reach back out to him. Uh, you know,
4:04
Speaker 3: that was a travesty. They didn't keep him in the
4:05
Speaker 3: first place when he got the job, so here's a
4:08
Speaker 3: chance to make amends. I think Chris Woodward's got you
4:12
Speaker 3: know his name has come up a little bit, you know,
4:15
Speaker 3: inside the Mets front office. But I think it's gonna
4:17
Speaker 3: be Belterm's John to lose, all.
4:20
Speaker 1: Right, Bob, Let's talk to the Atlanta Braves. The Braves
4:22
Speaker 1: are a little bit pessimistic that Spencer Straido or will
4:26
Speaker 1: turn this season. He has a pitching student twelfth after
4:30
Speaker 1: that elbow inflammation, who scheduled for that visit with Doctor
4:33
Speaker 1: Meister this week, and they need another veteran starter.
4:38
Speaker 2: At the deadline. What do you see happening with Atlanta.
4:40
Speaker 3: Bub Yeah, and they got to get another starter. They
4:43
Speaker 3: really do have a chance to you know, hold onto
4:46
Speaker 3: that division. Anytime you got you know, appointments for Doctor
4:50
Speaker 3: Meister not a good sign. You know, it's not gonna say,
4:52
Speaker 3: oh you're good to go, everything was great. It's usually okay,
4:55
Speaker 3: you want searcher now, search you later. So yeah, they're, uh,
4:59
Speaker 3: they're very past to mystic that Strider is going to
5:01
Speaker 3: return at all. So I think they would have been
5:04
Speaker 3: all over you know, Sonny Gray and some of these guys,
5:08
Speaker 3: but now they're not available. So you know, Robbie Ray
5:11
Speaker 3: is probably you know, on top of that list, if
5:15
Speaker 3: you know, if the Tigers keep Schoogle. The Tigers keep
5:17
Speaker 3: Casey Mice, but they got to get a veteran starter
5:20
Speaker 3: to go with Sale, you know, to give them a
5:22
Speaker 3: chance to uh, you know, not only you know, win
5:24
Speaker 3: the division, but go deeper in October.
5:28
Speaker 6: Now staying in the division with the Phillies, I know,
5:30
Speaker 6: for a long time, the need for a right handed
5:33
Speaker 6: hitting outfielder has kind of been the area of the
5:35
Speaker 6: Phillies can improve on. With the Brad Keller news, do
5:38
Speaker 6: you think getting a back end bullpen is more important
5:41
Speaker 6: to see them going out and filling both of those
5:45
Speaker 6: areas of need.
5:47
Speaker 3: I think almost just just as important for ser Kevin.
5:49
Speaker 3: I mean, they got to get the setup guy to
5:52
Speaker 3: go to Duran or you know what you do offensively,
5:56
Speaker 3: just run. You know, there's giving me some bats out there.
5:58
Speaker 3: I don't think you're going to go back, you know,
6:00
Speaker 3: a Baitter type thing or a Mickey Boniac and bring
6:03
Speaker 3: that back. You know, if Joe Adele is available from
6:07
Speaker 3: the Angels, you know, and he maybe, I think John
6:09
Speaker 3: Mosey and Lack is going to try to job Arden
6:12
Speaker 3: Reno and hey, let's move along here. Let's move these
6:15
Speaker 3: guys and completely rebuild the farm system. Adele would be
6:19
Speaker 3: a perfect fit. They really need to write in him back.
6:23
Speaker 5: Let's go the Detroit Tigers four and a half out
6:26
Speaker 5: of the wildcard, six and a half in their division.
6:29
Speaker 5: There's still a chance. There's still a chance for them.
6:31
Speaker 5: People always talking about school Bol. He needs to go
6:34
Speaker 5: get some prospects. I fully believe that they need to
6:37
Speaker 5: trade this guy sooner than later so they can get back.
6:40
Speaker 5: I was a big component. I'm not saying he's showing Otani,
6:44
Speaker 5: but the Angels should have moved him too, so they
6:46
Speaker 5: can have.
6:46
Speaker 4: Got a bunch of guys back.
6:48
Speaker 5: There has been fantastic even though him and Casey Mais
6:51
Speaker 5: are on the shelf. Talk a little bit about, you know,
6:54
Speaker 5: the adversity that these teams going through and what you
6:56
Speaker 5: think is going to happen moving forward with this Tiger
6:58
Speaker 5: ball club.
7:00
Speaker 3: I think they keep him tyerly do. I mean they
7:04
Speaker 3: fought back from the dead, they lost twenty one or
7:06
Speaker 3: twenty five, and mean, look at Cleveland last year. They
7:08
Speaker 3: saw what Cleveland did down this wretch and they fell
7:11
Speaker 3: apart and Cleveland's division and you know, the Tiger's gun
7:14
Speaker 3: as a wild card team. That pitching is too good.
7:17
Speaker 3: I mean it's been lights out now since since June
7:20
Speaker 3: first or so in it. You know, in the playoffs,
7:23
Speaker 3: you know, the America League is so wide open. There's
7:25
Speaker 3: no Dodgers, there's no Phillies and all Atlanta. But the
7:28
Speaker 3: ale is so wide open where they get in. They
7:31
Speaker 3: got a chance to get to the World Series. You
7:33
Speaker 3: know once again, Uh, you know we got school ball.
7:36
Speaker 3: You know in Casey, Miz and Framer Bell. Does you
7:40
Speaker 3: match up those three? I guess just about anybody the
7:42
Speaker 3: America League. You know, maybe maybe taking Yankees over their
7:46
Speaker 3: top three guys, but otherwise, Uncle, with those three, I
7:50
Speaker 3: just think, Hey, you were invested two and twenty million
7:52
Speaker 3: bucks into the season, a franchise record. You're gonna just
7:56
Speaker 3: alienate the fan base if you trade school ball. Your
7:59
Speaker 3: season tickets going to go down next year. The clubhouse
8:02
Speaker 3: is going to get demoralized. I think you keep them
8:05
Speaker 3: a less they just fall apart here in the last
8:07
Speaker 3: two weeks.

9:09
Speaker 6: All right, I'm gonna talk White Sox, but I want
9:11
Speaker 6: to go back to something you said, because Redebtmers has
9:13
Speaker 6: been connected to potentially go into the White Sox. You
9:16
Speaker 6: mentioned John Mozaia potentially having ARTI's ear. What makes you
9:20
Speaker 6: believe that things are gonna be different? With him kind
9:23
Speaker 6: of running the show. Now, how do you believe he
9:25
Speaker 6: can get into Arty's ear and maybe go out and
9:28
Speaker 6: sell some of these guys like uh Soriano or redebtmers
9:31
Speaker 6: At Joeidell.
9:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just said that's the way John Wizielak, you know,
9:36
Speaker 3: talk to Molli Jali and says, okay, so it's gonna
9:39
Speaker 3: be two for one. Let's try to get advance Arty.
9:41
Speaker 3: It's the way I do it now with Dept. Verson Soreano.
9:44
Speaker 3: You still got it for two years after this, so
9:47
Speaker 3: it's give me a high price, dad. Some people think
9:50
Speaker 3: you might have to pay more for debt meers than
9:52
Speaker 3: you would you know a scoogal per say, just because
9:55
Speaker 3: you got him for two and a half months and
9:57
Speaker 3: not just just half a month, so be interesting. I mean, uh,
10:01
Speaker 3: really a high price tag. I think the Angels got
10:05
Speaker 3: to listen to seeing if they can move those guys
10:08
Speaker 3: and really kind of you know, rebuild an entire farm system.
10:12
Speaker 3: But I think everybody loves what they see. The debt
10:14
Speaker 3: Mesu Shirun a little bit more of a crap shoe.
10:18
Speaker 3: We saw what he did beginning again, you know, dominate anybody,
10:21
Speaker 3: So uh, but yeah, if they move those two guys,
10:24
Speaker 3: they're gonna get a ton for them. Is this a
10:26
Speaker 3: seller's market if you if you want to be bad
10:29
Speaker 3: in one year, this year, you want to be bad
10:31
Speaker 3: because everyone's gonna be being a high price to get
10:34
Speaker 3: your guys.
10:35
Speaker 5: Chicago White Sox. Nobody saw this coming. This has been
10:39
Speaker 5: a really good year for them. Can you go on
10:42
Speaker 5: a little bit about what they're gonna try and do
10:44
Speaker 5: come trade deadline or are they looking at a particular
10:47
Speaker 5: person here to try and make this move to contending
10:50
Speaker 5: this al Central.
10:53
Speaker 3: Well, they're gonna be aggress but they're not gonna be
10:55
Speaker 3: stupid about it. I mean, they just got all these
10:57
Speaker 3: prospects after being so bad these years. You can't just
11:00
Speaker 3: throw the prospects into a tray and just go for
11:03
Speaker 3: it and find yourself back in the same situation. So yeah,
11:06
Speaker 3: I mean they'll look into the dept Mars for sure.
11:10
Speaker 5: Uh.
11:11
Speaker 3: They sent a scout already to look at a Clay homes.
11:14
Speaker 3: He was supposed to pitch Saturday and got rained out
11:17
Speaker 3: he had a bullpen session. Uh, So they got one
11:20
Speaker 3: of their top top guys executives to go watch him.
11:24
Speaker 3: And he's an intriguing guy. I mean, he can still
11:26
Speaker 3: opt out after the year. He pitched great and so
11:29
Speaker 3: he broke his leg. He had a good, solid season
11:31
Speaker 3: last year. They really liked this guy, and they're thinking,
11:35
Speaker 3: you know, it was surely come cheap than the mercy.
11:40
Speaker 1: We had the White Sox on Apple TV this week
11:41
Speaker 1: and they were so much fun to watch, a youthful,
11:43
Speaker 1: energetic team. So I can only imagine what would happen
11:46
Speaker 1: if they got somebody like that. All right, let's move
11:49
Speaker 1: on to the Twins. It was reported that a scout
11:52
Speaker 1: from the Yankees and the Rays were Rigley over the
11:54
Speaker 1: weekend to closely watch Ryan Jeffers. Both the Yankees and
11:58
Speaker 1: the Rays see that as a glaring weakness right now.
12:00
Speaker 1: They need a catcher. Bob, what do you see happening?
12:03
Speaker 1: What more can you tell us on that?
12:06
Speaker 3: I think they move him. He's a free agent. They're
12:08
Speaker 3: not going to resign him. They haven't really had any talks, uh,
12:11
Speaker 3: and they got catching depth. Uh. So you know, can
12:15
Speaker 3: they win the division without him? You know, probably not.
12:18
Speaker 3: I don't think when the division, you know, with him either.
12:21
Speaker 3: So the key thing would be, you know, I think
12:24
Speaker 3: both teams won him is kind of a uh, not
12:27
Speaker 3: as a regular but almost a tune type of guy,
12:31
Speaker 3: or a part time role. I'm not sure he'd adjusted
12:34
Speaker 3: that he'd have to lease d h you know, every
12:36
Speaker 3: every day when he's not being the full time catcher.
12:39
Speaker 3: So I think they're gonna have some more teams like
12:43
Speaker 3: the Dodgers and others joining him. But yeah, just everybody
12:46
Speaker 3: is looking for a bat these days, and uh, and
12:49
Speaker 3: he's one of the best out there. The Twins are
12:51
Speaker 3: going to get a lot for him.
12:54
Speaker 4: All right.
12:55
Speaker 6: It is painful for me to say, but the last
12:58
Speaker 6: place Blue Jays either gonna be sellers or do you
13:01
Speaker 6: believe there's a potential for them to kind of do
13:04
Speaker 6: what the Rays had done in the past and maybe
13:06
Speaker 6: move on from a guy like Gosman who's a you know,
13:08
Speaker 6: a free agent out of the end of the year,
13:10
Speaker 6: try to get a big return for him and still compete,
13:13
Speaker 6: or do you think they just kind of move on.
13:15
Speaker 6: It's been a disappointing year, to say the least.
13:19
Speaker 3: I think they're going to have to move on. I
13:20
Speaker 3: mean it's a bitter disappointment. You know, these you know,
13:23
Speaker 3: come out of the break all energized and they lose. Uh, yeah,
13:26
Speaker 3: two three the White Socks. Uh, you know, I think
13:30
Speaker 3: you know Beeber too. You gotta trade. If you're gonna
13:32
Speaker 3: trade Gosman, trade Shane Bieber. Then they look at an
13:35
Speaker 3: offensive side. Uh you know, I think you're gonna have
13:39
Speaker 3: to move Dalton as well. And uh, let's see and
13:42
Speaker 3: hear about George Springer. You know, I mean, George is
13:45
Speaker 3: a d h You're not gonna have as many suitors.
13:47
Speaker 3: But I think Dald, you know, Marshall, will have a
13:51
Speaker 3: lot of suitors. So I think these next you know,
13:54
Speaker 3: ten days are probably as big to them as any
13:58
Speaker 3: organization in baseball. I mean, to sell off and nobody
14:01
Speaker 3: saw this coming, but they may have no choice. Just
14:04
Speaker 3: things have worked out for him.
14:07
Speaker 5: On to the Yankees second place team game in a
14:09
Speaker 5: half out, talk about Aaron Judge a little bit. I mean,
14:12
Speaker 5: we've been hearing about this fractured right rib. It's been
14:14
Speaker 5: a nuisance. He hasn't had any baseball activities. They're hopeful
14:19
Speaker 5: but cautiously optimistic about getting him ready to rock.
14:23
Speaker 4: I think the more time the better.
14:25
Speaker 5: I think he comes back quicker more than most athletes
14:29
Speaker 5: when it comes to baseball. He gets in and he
14:30
Speaker 5: grips it. But what do you think the trade deadline's
14:33
Speaker 5: gonna look for them? I've been hearing a lot of
14:35
Speaker 5: different things. We know exactly what they need, bullpen, right
14:39
Speaker 5: handed catching catcher. Talk to me, what do you think
14:42
Speaker 5: the biggest need is?
14:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they need it, you know, catching up
14:46
Speaker 3: for sure. They need another arm of the back end
14:50
Speaker 3: the bullpen. But you know, with Judge and ickeryplays him,
14:53
Speaker 3: it's impossible. So it's almost like, why try. And they're
14:58
Speaker 3: a lot more worrying about it. They're letting on. You know,
15:01
Speaker 3: they're not one hundred percent convinced he's coming back. Uh,
15:04
Speaker 3: this thing's taken awhile. Now, Uh, theyn't expect him be
15:07
Speaker 3: fully healed, but I think they expected him to be
15:09
Speaker 3: a little furlong and you see injury. It is amazing
15:12
Speaker 3: he played for a month when you know with that
15:14
Speaker 3: broken rib. So you know, now you're talking about before
15:18
Speaker 3: it was like, okay, he should be back in August.
15:20
Speaker 3: Now you're talking about okay, if things go right, you know,
15:23
Speaker 3: maybe uh you know, you know mid September or so
15:26
Speaker 3: early September, you're lucky. But uh, they're a little down
15:30
Speaker 3: on it. Uh, they're trying to put a brave face
15:32
Speaker 3: up there, but they know that, Hey, if he doesn't
15:35
Speaker 3: come back, you know they're you know, they're toast for
15:37
Speaker 3: the playoffs.
15:40
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to that l Central.
15:41
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Pirates a little bit.
15:43
Speaker 1: We know how they started the season, right, but we
15:45
Speaker 1: we know that they plan to be aggressive at the deadline.
15:49
Speaker 1: But you know, they don't want to increase that payroll,
15:51
Speaker 1: so their biggest need is the bullpen. We know that,
15:54
Speaker 1: and we also know that you know they've got a
15:57
Speaker 1: long playoff drought. So, Bob, what do you see happening
16:00
Speaker 1: with the Pirates considering they do want to be aggressive
16:03
Speaker 1: at this point.
16:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna do everything possible. I'm not sure they
16:07
Speaker 3: can add to the payroll. The one name that's come
16:09
Speaker 3: up interestingly is O'Neil Cruz. I mean you think that
16:13
Speaker 3: will he train him? He frees up some money? They
16:17
Speaker 3: do have outfield debt. Can they trade O'Neil Cruz to
16:21
Speaker 3: get some bullpen help? And they need bullpen help as
16:23
Speaker 3: much as any contender out there. You can use nur
16:26
Speaker 3: starter too, so I think they're listen offers of O'Neil Cruz.
16:30
Speaker 3: To see if they get the you know, the other pieces,
16:33
Speaker 3: and they're certainly trying to go for this thing. Haven't
16:35
Speaker 3: been the playoffs. Is twenty fifteen, second longest round to
16:39
Speaker 3: the Angels, but he goes fourteen and see what happens.
16:44
Speaker 3: But yeah, they're gonna be very aggressive, and I think
16:47
Speaker 3: the mandate from ownership is we want to be in
16:50
Speaker 3: the playoffs. Do what it takes, but we're not gonna,
16:54
Speaker 3: you know, jump up that payroll anytime soon, big time.
16:57
Speaker 3: So O'Neil Cruz would be interesting.
17:01
Speaker 6: Well, last one for me, what are the Astros gonna
17:04
Speaker 6: do at the deadline. I know they're four and a
17:06
Speaker 6: half games out of a wildcard, three and a half
17:09
Speaker 6: out of their own division.
17:12
Speaker 2: They have some interesting pieces. Do you do you see
17:14
Speaker 2: them adding?
17:15
Speaker 6: Where do you see them selling off some of those
17:17
Speaker 6: interesting pieces?
17:19
Speaker 3: I think they add. I think they're gonna, you know,
17:21
Speaker 3: go for this thing. I mean, hate ta Wasta season
17:24
Speaker 3: like you're and Alvarez what he's doing. And they've had
17:27
Speaker 3: so many pitching injuries. I also think that some jobs
17:30
Speaker 3: on the line depending on it, you know, when they're
17:32
Speaker 3: Dana Brown the GM, Joe Spatta the manager. I think
17:37
Speaker 3: they have to make the playoffs to you know, make
17:39
Speaker 3: sure those guys jobs are safe at least safer you
17:43
Speaker 3: know that they don't make the playoffs. If they don't
17:45
Speaker 3: make the playoffs, I think we're gonna see some adduble.
17:48
Speaker 1: Uh.
17:48
Speaker 3: And you know Jim Crane has always said, hey, we'll
17:50
Speaker 3: go all the way to the limit here, We'll go
17:53
Speaker 3: to the luxury attacks, but we'll never rebuild as long
17:56
Speaker 3: as I'm the I'm the owner. So I think they're
17:59
Speaker 3: gonna be out there looking for anybody and everybody. And
18:02
Speaker 3: then you know, they got two and a half million
18:03
Speaker 3: dollars back for the Lands of Colors deal, so they
18:07
Speaker 3: have about a twelve a half million dollars before the
18:09
Speaker 3: leisure jacks that would take care of getting some big guy.
18:13
Speaker 3: I mean even even you know, if Sarah Scuble was available,
18:17
Speaker 3: I think they need write in on him.
18:20
Speaker 4: Bob.
18:20
Speaker 1: We always appreciate your time, We appreciate your wisdom. Thank
18:23
Speaker 1: you so much for all the insider information. We will
18:27
Speaker 1: be right back here on foul Territory.
18:31
Speaker 7: If you're watching us, you already know we're wearing mack
18:33
Speaker 7: Weldon right now as we talk about a great brand
18:36
Speaker 7: that makes things so comfortable and easy to wear. But
18:38
Speaker 7: if you're listening to the show, let me tell you
18:40
Speaker 7: a little bit more about Mac Weldon with my friend
18:43
Speaker 7: Aer Kratz.
18:44
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's comfortable, it's light. It's summertime right now. For
18:49
Speaker 8: me though, they cater to what I need tall clothes. Normally,
18:53
Speaker 8: when I buy tall clothes it's like something that's cumbersome
18:57
Speaker 8: and boxy. It still fits in credibly well, super light,
19:02
Speaker 8: perfect for the summertime. They got me all covered.
19:06
Speaker 7: Comfortable performance material can be yours. Mack Weldon is the spot.

19:28
Speaker 1: Tim Heally, Welcome into fouls territory. Tim Neally, the Red
19:31
Speaker 1: Sox beat reporter for the Boston Globe, and Tim, we
19:35
Speaker 1: were talking about the Red Sox at the beginning of
19:38
Speaker 1: this show. I've got them on Apple TV on Friday.
19:41
Speaker 1: Totally different than what we saw from them at the
19:43
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. They're in the midst of their
19:45
Speaker 1: longest winning streak in seventy eight years.
19:48
Speaker 3: What's behind it, Tim.
19:50
Speaker 2: What's behind it is everything. Everything has broken right for
19:53
Speaker 2: the Red Sox, particularly this month, but really even the
19:56
Speaker 2: past month entirely. I believe twenty one in five over
20:00
Speaker 2: the last twenty six games. So the starting pitching, which
20:04
Speaker 2: has been good all year, has remained excellent. Relief pitching
20:07
Speaker 2: is right there with it. The problem for basically three
20:11
Speaker 2: months was that they couldn't score a lot, and now
20:14
Speaker 2: they're scoring plenty. So they've beaten up on bad teams.
20:16
Speaker 2: They have swept a couple of good teams, including the
20:19
Speaker 2: Rais over the weekend, and everything's going right for the
20:23
Speaker 2: Red Sox right now. It's pretty remarkable considering basically nothing
20:27
Speaker 2: went right for them for the first half of the season.
20:32
Speaker 5: I still can't. I'm looking at you and I see
20:35
Speaker 5: you're in Boston. Now that's just really weird.
20:39
Speaker 2: But here's I totally get it.
20:41
Speaker 4: Here's the difference.
20:42
Speaker 5: I'm saying this because he was with the Mets for
20:44
Speaker 5: a while and I was with the Mets, and we
20:47
Speaker 5: used to I used to give him a hard time.
20:48
Speaker 4: The guy's smiling here.
20:49
Speaker 5: Every time he's in the Mets clubhouse, he always had
20:51
Speaker 5: a somber look on his face.
20:53
Speaker 2: But no good so did you guys a lot of signs.
20:58
Speaker 5: Hey listen, at the end of the day, we're all
21:03
Speaker 5: just want to watch him good baseball.
21:04
Speaker 4: And that's what the Red Socks are doing.
21:06
Speaker 6: Man.
21:07
Speaker 5: Not to bring up a somber no Roman Anthony, though,
21:09
Speaker 5: we got to talk about him a little bit, talk
21:11
Speaker 5: a little about where he's at. Doesn't seem like he's
21:14
Speaker 5: close to returning, but you know how things get. The
21:17
Speaker 5: team starts doing well, all of a sudden, it's like, hey,
21:19
Speaker 5: I gotta do this, I gotta do that.
21:20
Speaker 4: Talk a little about him and where you see his progress.
21:24
Speaker 2: It's a weird situation for Roman Anthony. It has been
21:28
Speaker 2: eleven weeks now since he partially tore a ligament in
21:33
Speaker 2: the ring finger on his left hand on a random swing,
21:37
Speaker 2: and right now he is in an unfortunate holding pat tern.
21:42
Speaker 2: The Red Sox said yesterday that he will not zoom hitting,
21:45
Speaker 2: he will not try to hit. We will not try
21:47
Speaker 2: to start a hitting progression until that hand is pain free,
21:52
Speaker 2: and he has not reached that threshold yet. So for now,
21:56
Speaker 2: he's just in Fort Myers at the Red Sox spring
21:59
Speaker 2: training league facility doing a lot of things, a lot
22:03
Speaker 2: of defensive drills, fielding, running, keeping his conditioning up. But
22:09
Speaker 2: if he can't swing, then he's not going to be
22:13
Speaker 2: of any use to the Red Sox. So they're not
22:15
Speaker 2: by any means forcing that. Regardless of yes, the Red
22:19
Speaker 2: Sox are hot right now, they're very much in the
22:21
Speaker 2: playoff picture. Roman Anthony, though, is stuck in Florida right
22:24
Speaker 2: now basically, and definitely they have no idea when he's
22:27
Speaker 2: going to come back.
22:28
Speaker 6: Tim I saw the Red Sox in person middle of
22:31
Speaker 6: June covering a Blue Juice game, and they were a
22:33
Speaker 6: bad team. You know, I don't think anyone saw that.
22:38
Speaker 6: My question is what happened first? Was there this belief
22:41
Speaker 6: that they could go on a run like this or
22:43
Speaker 6: did they start getting did they start winning some games?
22:45
Speaker 6: And then the belief that they could be better than
22:48
Speaker 6: they were really started taking over. Because you looked at
22:51
Speaker 6: that dugout and you looked at the stands that Saturday
22:54
Speaker 6: game when a Bray You hit that home run, you
22:57
Speaker 6: felt like they were going to win that game. There
22:59
Speaker 6: was this league on the dugout there was this belief
23:01
Speaker 6: in the stands that they were going to come back
23:03
Speaker 6: and win the game.
23:05
Speaker 2: Yes, I there was always some belief, but man, as
23:09
Speaker 2: you get into mid June there and then they lost
23:11
Speaker 2: two out of three and pretty heartbreaking fashion to the
23:15
Speaker 2: Rockies in Denver, it felt like the bottom and it
23:18
Speaker 2: felt it felt pretty much over, and some of the guys,
23:22
Speaker 2: a lot of the guys seemed resigned to that. The
23:26
Speaker 2: front office was not waving the white flag on selling
23:29
Speaker 2: leading up to the trade headline, but they were talking
23:32
Speaker 2: in terms that made it sound awfully close. And then
23:35
Speaker 2: pretty much out of nowhere, they came back from Denver
23:39
Speaker 2: and they swept the Yankees four games. Took four out
23:42
Speaker 2: of four, and it wasn't close. They beat up on
23:44
Speaker 2: Cam Schlittler, who had always had their number in prior outings,
23:48
Speaker 2: and it just built from there.
23:50
Speaker 4: They had.
23:52
Speaker 2: You know, once you take four at a four from
23:54
Speaker 2: the Yankees, then the belief that existed a little bit
23:58
Speaker 2: you start to see the actual result. And then once
24:00
Speaker 2: you start to see the actual result, it's easier to
24:02
Speaker 2: believe more. And it's just this vicious cycle in the
24:06
Speaker 2: best way. And then they go on the road and
24:09
Speaker 2: they had a really tough road trip going into the
24:10
Speaker 2: break Anaheim Chicago, New York, and they were really close
24:16
Speaker 2: to losing the last game against the Mets on basically
24:23
Speaker 2: a dot of a game. They went into the ninth thinning,
24:24
Speaker 2: they were down by two. They had two hits the
24:26
Speaker 2: whole night. They were gonna go into the All Star
24:27
Speaker 2: Break on a high but with a kind of a
24:30
Speaker 2: crappy loss. And then there's an error and then here
24:33
Speaker 2: come the Red Sox that we're gonna if you crack
24:35
Speaker 2: the door open, they're gonna kick it open. So everything's
24:38
Speaker 2: going for the Red Sox, including the other team not really
24:40
Speaker 2: playing well. The Rays over the weekend looked horrible, like
24:43
Speaker 2: they didn't pitch well, they didn't feel well, terrible with
24:46
Speaker 2: runners in scoring position, terrible at abs. So it's a
24:49
Speaker 2: fascinating dynamic. Right now. Are those teams bad or the
24:52
Speaker 2: Red Sox just so hot and good right now that
24:54
Speaker 2: they're making these teams look bad.
24:56
Speaker 1: That's a really good question. One of the things that
24:57
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about is the fact
25:00
Speaker 1: that the guy at the helm helping lead them through
25:03
Speaker 1: this is Chad Tracy, and he was not the manager
25:07
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year. We know that, yeah,
25:09
Speaker 1: And this thirteen game run is the longest winning streak
25:13
Speaker 1: for a skipper who didn't manage the team on opening
25:16
Speaker 1: day in thirty five years. And I think it's kind
25:19
Speaker 1: of remarkable that he's been able to do that in
25:21
Speaker 1: the midst of I know that they weren't good right
25:24
Speaker 1: away when he took over, right but what have you
25:27
Speaker 1: seen from Chad and just what he's been able to
25:30
Speaker 1: do with this team after going through that transition from
25:33
Speaker 1: Alex Korra to Chad.
25:36
Speaker 2: It's been pretty fascinating to watch Chad Tracy, a he
25:40
Speaker 2: spent twenty years in the minor leagues as a player,
25:43
Speaker 2: coach and manager, finally get this crack his first time
25:46
Speaker 2: in the majors and watch him sort of evolve as
25:50
Speaker 2: the days and weeks go by. After a bunch of
25:53
Speaker 2: those losses, Chad Tracy took it heart. You could see
25:56
Speaker 2: it on his face, you could hear in his voice
25:58
Speaker 2: after games on camera, off camera, it was it's tough, right,
26:02
Speaker 2: you finally got this chance, and this is how it
26:04
Speaker 2: was go just with a bad team and then and
26:08
Speaker 2: then it turned and Chad Tracy, I think deserves a
26:11
Speaker 2: lot of credit for that, he absolutely is putting himself
26:14
Speaker 2: in the conversation to have the job on a permanent basis.
26:17
Speaker 2: Right now, he's just the inter manager. He has that title.
26:21
Speaker 2: The Red Sox haven't touched it since they made the
26:23
Speaker 2: change in late April, and the results speak for themselves there.
26:28
Speaker 2: I want to say, eight or nine games over five
26:30
Speaker 2: hundred since Chad Tracy took over, So it's been a
26:32
Speaker 2: it's been a heck of a run for the Chad
26:34
Speaker 2: Tracy Red Sox and uh, you know, we'll see where
26:38
Speaker 2: it goes from here. Two weeks to the trade.
26:40
Speaker 6: Inline, speaking of credit, me and Todd opened the show
26:45
Speaker 6: talking about the Red Sox and what Contrarast.
26:47
Speaker 2: Means to this team.
26:49
Speaker 6: Should he get a lot of credit for what he
26:51
Speaker 6: did going out charging the mound? Did that kind of
26:53
Speaker 6: really spark kind of this new identity for this team
26:56
Speaker 6: that they aren't going to take anything from anyone.
26:59
Speaker 2: That charging the mound against the Nationals was the most
27:03
Speaker 2: significant example of what Wilson Contreras has brought the entire season,
27:08
Speaker 2: which is an edge, and nobody else on this roster
27:13
Speaker 2: really has that edge on the field. And when they
27:16
Speaker 2: were going through the early stages of the season and
27:20
Speaker 2: things weren't going well. The manager gets fired, things still
27:23
Speaker 2: aren't going well. New coaching staff. Basically half the coaching
27:26
Speaker 2: staff turned over. Wilson Tourists was there the whole time hitting, Yes,
27:31
Speaker 2: And the statistical leading is important, but the emotional leading
27:36
Speaker 2: emerged along the way because they didn't have a lot
27:39
Speaker 2: of veteran presence. They had Trevor Story. He was the leader,
27:41
Speaker 2: but he was not doing well and then he went
27:44
Speaker 2: on the il and had surgery, so he was, you know,
27:47
Speaker 2: kind of a non factor in terms of the vibes
27:49
Speaker 2: and atmosphere. And Wilson contreras to the surprises. I think
27:53
Speaker 2: a lot of people emerged as this statistical and emotional
27:57
Speaker 2: leader of this team and ready to throw down whenever
28:03
Speaker 2: somebody else is even a little bit hinting that that
28:06
Speaker 2: might be the case. So yeah, he deserves a lot
28:09
Speaker 2: of credit on all of those fronts.
28:13

29:14
Speaker 5: Red Sox third place in the Wildcard. I think that's unbelievable.
29:18
Speaker 5: I talked earlier about if you're worrying about your team
29:21
Speaker 5: and worrying about yourselves, good things usually happen. And when
29:25
Speaker 5: you're winning, it doesn't matter what anybody else is doing,
29:27
Speaker 5: because you're going to find a way to leap frog
29:29
Speaker 5: over somebody. My question to you is, come trade deadline.
29:34
Speaker 5: Are they going to be getting some Are they going
29:37
Speaker 5: to be buy or set?
29:37
Speaker 4: Like?
29:38
Speaker 5: What do you see these guys? I know they're going
29:40
Speaker 5: to go out there and try and get some guys.
29:41
Speaker 5: What I meant to say is who do they need?
29:44
Speaker 5: Like what is their biggest concern?
29:46
Speaker 2: That's a great question. They need a bat most significantly.
29:50
Speaker 2: And what's interesting and a little weird about the roster
29:54
Speaker 2: as it exists right now is there are a bunch
29:56
Speaker 2: of positions on the field where that offensive upgrade could come.
30:01
Speaker 2: Left field, Jared Durant is not having a good time
30:03
Speaker 2: right now and has basically been a platoon player the
30:06
Speaker 2: past few weeks. Second base Anthony Siegler has been scorching,
30:10
Speaker 2: holding it down in the absence of Marcelo Meyer and
30:14
Speaker 2: Isaiah Connor Fileffa. He's been great. Two weeks from now,
30:17
Speaker 2: we'll see where a second base is at, both in
30:20
Speaker 2: terms of Siegler's production and the health of those other guys.
30:23
Speaker 2: Short stopped was Trevor's story. He's also working his way
30:26
Speaker 2: back and right now they've got a platoon of Chang
30:28
Speaker 2: and Monasterio and that's been fine. And Trevor Story is
30:32
Speaker 2: on his way back, but he was terrible when he
30:33
Speaker 2: was playing, trying to play through injury for the first
30:36
Speaker 2: month and a half of the season. So short stops
30:39
Speaker 2: up in the air DH has been a missmatch with
30:42
Speaker 2: Rome Gonzalez, Yoshida some other guys. If you get a
30:46
Speaker 2: big bat and you put him at DH, there is
30:48
Speaker 2: room there. And then catcher where they haven't gotten a
30:50
Speaker 2: ton offensively, particularly from Carlos Narvaez. Very difficult, as you
30:56
Speaker 2: guys know, to add a catcher on the fly in
30:58
Speaker 2: the middle of the season. But if they can find
31:01
Speaker 2: somebody they like who's going to upgrade the lineup, then
31:03
Speaker 2: maybe they go for it. So there are a lot
31:05
Speaker 2: of spots on the field where they could upgrade offensively.
31:09
Speaker 6: Well, when you when you talk that way, how how
31:12
Speaker 6: how are they successful because it feels like it feels
31:15
Speaker 6: like they need to the position. What's the magic? What's
31:18
Speaker 6: the magic? It is it, Chad Tracy? Is it this
31:21
Speaker 6: team coming together? Is it, you know, just playing so
31:24
Speaker 6: poorly that they're finally starting to play better collectly?
31:27
Speaker 4: What is it?
31:27
Speaker 6: Because you know, what you just talked about. It just
31:30
Speaker 6: doesn't seem like this team is a team that should
31:32
Speaker 6: win thirteen games in a row.
31:34
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of that last variable that you
31:37
Speaker 2: mentioned of they had to play better. They were so
31:41
Speaker 2: bad for the first half of the season that you
31:43
Speaker 2: look at the roster and you think, this doesn't really
31:45
Speaker 2: make any sense. They should be a little better unless sure,
31:48
Speaker 2: they're a great team, but there's more in there. So
31:51
Speaker 2: that has happened, and then along the way Caleb Durbin
31:55
Speaker 2: turned it around after being bad for a few months. Siegler,
31:58
Speaker 2: as I said, has been no small thing.
32:00
Speaker 4: He is the.
32:01
Speaker 2: Everyday second baseman and leadolf hitter, back to switch hitting,
32:06
Speaker 2: which he had abandoned for a time, all after being
32:09
Speaker 2: basically a throw in third piece in the February trade
32:12
Speaker 2: that sent Kyle Harrison to Milwaukee and brought Caleb Durbin
32:15
Speaker 2: to Boston. So he's just sort of a forty man
32:18
Speaker 2: roster depth kind of guy who has emerged for the
32:20
Speaker 2: past month as critical, which is not something anybody saw coming.
32:25
Speaker 2: So it's a lot. Basically, everything that could be going
32:28
Speaker 2: right for the Red Sox is going right, and it's
32:30
Speaker 2: all coming together in a pretty pretty, uh, you know,
32:33
Speaker 2: borderline ridiculous three weeks right now?
32:36
Speaker 1: Okay, So Tim, you want to talk about something going
32:38
Speaker 1: right for the Red Sox, you got to talk about
32:40
Speaker 1: Sonny Gray. He's putting together incredible season. Against the Rays
32:44
Speaker 1: over the weekend, I loved I'm sure you were there
32:47
Speaker 1: when he said this, but he said he felt a
32:48
Speaker 1: little rusty, but still put together six innings he held
32:52
Speaker 1: the Rays to there were eight with runners in scoring position.
32:56
Speaker 3: I believe against him.
32:57
Speaker 1: And we know that the Rays have been good this year.
32:59
Speaker 1: I know you said they didn't look good this weekend,
33:01
Speaker 1: but for him to do that, what he's done this season,
33:04
Speaker 1: how key has he been for the Red Sox and
33:07
Speaker 1: just kind of keeping you know, their hopes alive maybe
33:10
Speaker 1: in that tough stretch and then now down the stretch
33:12
Speaker 1: having a guy like him as they're trying to hunt
33:15
Speaker 1: the East a little bit.
33:17
Speaker 2: He's been critical and credit to Craig Breslo for getting
33:19
Speaker 2: Sonny Gray. In November, shortly after Breslo said they wanted
33:24
Speaker 2: a number two starter to slote in behind Garrett Crochet,
33:28
Speaker 2: they brought in Sonny Gray. And the reaction from a
33:30
Speaker 2: lot of people, including me, including I think on this
33:33
Speaker 2: show was as he a number two starter? Is he
33:37
Speaker 2: better as a very good number three? Do they still
33:39
Speaker 2: let somebody else? And to Sonny Gray's credit, to Craig
33:43
Speaker 2: Breslo's credit, he's been better than a number two starter.
33:46
Speaker 2: He has been there number one in the absence of
33:49
Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet who's been out for months with a shoulder injury,
33:52
Speaker 2: and he's been nails. He should have been an All Star,
33:55
Speaker 2: could have been. There was a case for him to
33:57
Speaker 2: be the All Star starter, but he ended up not
33:59
Speaker 2: even making the team. And he's been nails.
34:03
Speaker 4: Though.
34:03
Speaker 2: You mentioned the start on Sunday against the Rays, which
34:07
Speaker 2: was super interesting because it was one of the hallmarks
34:11
Speaker 2: of the Red Sox pitching staff this season that they
34:14
Speaker 2: don't really get stinkers. If a starting pitcher that night
34:19
Speaker 2: isn't going good, he at least holds it down and
34:23
Speaker 2: survives as opposes to meltdown. Very few meltdowns this year. Yesterday,
34:27
Speaker 2: Sunny Gray said he was rusty for a start back
34:30
Speaker 2: off to their All Star break. Clearly didn't have his
34:32
Speaker 2: best stuff, couldn't find the zone, base runners all over
34:36
Speaker 2: the place, six innings, one run. That was pretty impressive,
34:39
Speaker 2: and you see that from other guys too. Connelly Early
34:41
Speaker 2: has been great at that. Peyton Totley, Ranji Suarez of
34:44
Speaker 2: course has been has been key and is on the
34:45
Speaker 2: brink of returning from injuries. So it's the rotation has
34:48
Speaker 2: been a strength and Sunny Gray has been leading the way.
34:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, speaking of rotation, you mentioned some of those young
34:53
Speaker 6: starters that's really stepped up and been great. What's the
34:57
Speaker 6: status on Giro Crochet? When are they getting their ace back?
35:01
Speaker 2: They don't know. He right now is not even throwing,
35:05
Speaker 2: not even playing catch. So if he got clear today,
35:09
Speaker 2: it would probably take what six weeks you figure has
35:12
Speaker 2: to fully stretch back out on the pitch, count front,
35:15
Speaker 2: minor league, rehab assignment, et cetera. So realistically, you're looking
35:20
Speaker 2: at if you can get Garrett Crochet back in September,
35:23
Speaker 2: then that's a win. So they've survived this long without him.
35:26
Speaker 2: It's been fascinating and impressive, and they don't really have
35:30
Speaker 2: any clarity there. They're still working on strengthening that shoulder
35:33
Speaker 2: in that rotator cuff.
35:39
Speaker 1: Tim, We appreciate the time. We're excited to see what
35:42
Speaker 1: the Red Sox do for the rest of the season.
35:44
Speaker 1: I'm excited to have them on Apple TV this Friday.
35:47
Speaker 1: So I'll see you at Fenway because I assume you'll
35:48
Speaker 1: be there.
35:49
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, of course, of course, aw soo.
35:52
Speaker 1: I know all the fans are always thrilled when we're
35:54
Speaker 1: on Apple TV and not on their normal nest, but
35:56
Speaker 1: we'll be there, Thank you so much. If you want
36:01
Speaker 1: more Red Sox talk, check out our show Monster Territory
