0:42
Speaker 3: reaction eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety seventy
0:44
Speaker 3: three to the Nicola Lo dot com talk and text line.
0:48
Speaker 3: If you're just joining us, we've been chopping it up
0:50
Speaker 3: talking about this and it begs the question. Freddy Peralta
0:54
Speaker 3: and he joins the line of Brewers pictures traded promising
0:58
Speaker 3: all star Brewers pictures righted of hater Burns, Devin Williams
1:03
Speaker 3: and now Freddy Buralta.
1:04
Speaker 4: And my question to you guys, and this is like
1:06
Speaker 4: this is the one.
1:07
Speaker 3: Where you separate, uh, the the gen Zers from the
1:11
Speaker 3: Millennials from the gen Xers. Is which trade gutted you
1:14
Speaker 3: the most, not only for the Brewers but in your
1:18
Speaker 3: sports life. Unless you're one of Billy's sons who are
1:21
Speaker 3: born into fandom and stuff, and they have it. They
1:25
Speaker 3: have this gilded path of their dad being in the
1:27
Speaker 3: business and like getting you know, being being fostered into
1:31
Speaker 3: the sports fandom from the.
1:32
Speaker 5: Learning from the twenty fourteen NFC title game. Hey this
1:34
Speaker 5: stuff sucks, just to get ready for it.
1:36
Speaker 3: The sweet spot of being a sports fan, and my
1:39
Speaker 3: humble estimation one of Drew's many sports theories is between
1:42
Speaker 3: the ages of eight and twelve, it's when you're just
1:46
Speaker 3: It's that's the crucible. It's the youthful xuberance. It's the innocence.
1:50
Speaker 3: You don't really care about arbitration. You just love your players,
1:53
Speaker 3: and you pick a guy and it might not be
1:55
Speaker 3: a star. Guy, might be a m might be Joe
1:59
Speaker 3: schlebat Nick.
2:00
Speaker 4: You don't know.
2:01
Speaker 3: You know, my daughter's favorite player growing up was Bill Hall.
2:05
Speaker 3: First Brewers game, he made a diving catch on the
2:07
Speaker 3: warning track look like a Superman layout, and she's like,
2:10
Speaker 3: that is my guy. She her career, she wore number
2:12
Speaker 3: two in all the sports she played for Bill Hall
2:15
Speaker 3: and big time.
2:17
Speaker 1: My guy was armoring Gilliam for a while.
2:20
Speaker 3: Name So, what was the trade that gutted you, that
2:24
Speaker 3: hurt you the most? Because this isn't Is this even
2:26
Speaker 3: in the top three or four for Brewers fans. No,
2:28
Speaker 3: I can't think so, not even like trade or exit.
2:31
Speaker 3: But this is this was an actual trade. So the
2:34
Speaker 3: chose to let him go like Willia Domas walked via
2:36
Speaker 3: free agency. There's nuance there. But if there is a
2:39
Speaker 3: trade that gutted you as a sports fan, I want
2:43
Speaker 3: to know what it is because for some armand you
2:45
Speaker 3: know Ray Allen, how could you know? And one that
2:49
Speaker 3: was the nightmarish, the ramifications of Ray Allen being traded
2:52
Speaker 3: because Ray Allen was a guy that didn't want to,
2:54
Speaker 3: you know, leave he was he was very beloved in
2:57
Speaker 3: the community and didn't work out paid dividends. That's when
3:01
Speaker 3: a lot of people are gonna jump to.
3:03
Speaker 5: I still remember being in a Margarita Paradise eating tacos
3:07
Speaker 5: and hearing my dad and everybody else talk about the
3:09
Speaker 5: Ray Allen deal, not fully grasping it. Uh to me
3:12
Speaker 5: the the early age one that really chopped me up was, uh,
3:17
Speaker 5: how on earth are we getting six nobody's for a
3:21
Speaker 5: guy that was just in the home run derby my
3:24
Speaker 5: favorite player of all time, Richie Secon. This guy looks
3:27
Speaker 5: like a statue playing first base.
3:29
Speaker 1: The reason we were here, the.
3:30
Speaker 5: Only interesting player, the only guy that was any good.
3:35
Speaker 5: In the first year that I really coherently remember watching
3:38
Speaker 5: Brewers baseball, which is a great year to start two
3:40
Speaker 5: downe two, being like, why what's a junior Spivey gonna
3:44
Speaker 5: do for me?
3:45
Speaker 4: Sure?
3:46
Speaker 5: Okay, sweet, This guy Counsel is from Wisconsin, the world heies,
3:50
Speaker 5: so you know about him, that's awesome.
3:52
Speaker 2: You don't know about Chris Capiuano. I don't know about
3:54
Speaker 2: Wyle ober Bay and don't care.
3:56
Speaker 5: Less, but all of them will be at Brookfield Square
3:59
Speaker 5: and they were all lined up and Brewers on deck.
4:01
Speaker 4: I was like, all right, cool, I guess I got all.
4:03
Speaker 5: I got them all on this uh rawlings Official League Baseball.
4:07
Speaker 4: And that's that trade.
4:08
Speaker 3: That was the toughest one in the two thousand and
4:11
Speaker 3: four season. Richie Sexton and Shane Nance, a little lefty.
4:16
Speaker 3: Shane Nance was, uh pete. He was kind of the
4:18
Speaker 3: Jet Williams of pitchers, about a five seven, like that
4:21
Speaker 3: long guy said yeah, but there say it isn't a
4:25
Speaker 3: cute how Shane Nantz takes a ladder out there and
4:26
Speaker 3: climbs up on the mountain.
4:28
Speaker 5: Zach Davies before he was before the shas was a very.
4:32
Speaker 2: Short lefty one hand. You know, there were a lot
4:34
Speaker 2: of guys like guys.
4:35
Speaker 3: Like that's all short Sid Roberson back in our day, Arman,
4:40
Speaker 3: it wasn't so yeah, my boy Dan Needles and I
4:42
Speaker 3: would go fifteen rounds on that.
4:44
Speaker 4: He said.
4:44
Speaker 3: It was a horrible trade that traded in an all
4:46
Speaker 3: star first baseman for Chris Capuano who ended up winning
4:48
Speaker 3: eighteen games, Craig Council, Chad moeler lyle Over bay or
4:52
Speaker 3: Hey De la Rosa the centerpiece, and Spivey. So you
4:55
Speaker 3: got your starting like you got a starting short step
4:58
Speaker 3: first baseman and second basement and along with you know,
5:01
Speaker 3: a couple of pictures.
5:02
Speaker 5: It's like, objectively a great trade and a starting catcher.
5:06
Speaker 3: So they got a bunch of like that was that's
5:09
Speaker 3: one of the fleets that was like the last of
5:10
Speaker 3: an era. Yes, when you get rid of young controllable
5:14
Speaker 3: guys and they didn't realize the value in that, and you'd.
5:17
Speaker 1: Get the you'd get the ransom.
5:19
Speaker 2: But actually from there, from the other perspective, the only
5:23
Speaker 2: young guy, I mean, Capuana was the rest of the
5:27
Speaker 2: guys were sort of veterans they didn't think much of Overbay.
5:30
Speaker 2: Horley Dale Rosa was the centerpiece of that trade because
5:32
Speaker 2: he was like the young prospect, lofty pitcher that could
5:36
Speaker 2: be a future star right and.
5:37
Speaker 3: Sex and and the kicker was And I thought it
5:40
Speaker 3: was a great trade at the beginning, and then years
5:42
Speaker 3: and needles would still stick to like, oh, it was
5:44
Speaker 3: still awful. It was a lot of Richie Sexton played
5:46
Speaker 3: one year in Arizona, those guys, and then he went
5:52
Speaker 3: to Seattle and finished his career. And in Arizona he
5:54
Speaker 3: didn't do much of of a lot of anything.
5:57
Speaker 4: No, he had a he had like one year. It
5:59
Speaker 4: was hurt.
5:59
Speaker 5: I think for most of it was okay for a
6:01
Speaker 5: couple of years and objectively a great trade. But that
6:04
Speaker 5: was the first one that really gutted me that way.
6:07
Speaker 5: But I would tell you, Drew, and this is the
6:09
Speaker 5: one that again they both end up.
6:12
Speaker 2: Being the right moves for the team.
6:15
Speaker 5: So it's difficult to put this up into the full receipts.
6:21
Speaker 5: When I woke up that morning, thought Brett Farr was
6:23
Speaker 5: going to the Tampay Buccaneers and then was going to
6:25
Speaker 5: the New York Jets, and he was no longer going
6:27
Speaker 5: to be a Green Bay packer. I did there you go,
6:29
Speaker 5: And I was on on the family computer Bring back
6:32
Speaker 5: Brett dot com. I was on that damn website every day. Arman,
6:37
Speaker 5: I'm going to figure out a way to keep number
6:38
Speaker 5: four in Green Bay. That one was torturous for a
6:42
Speaker 5: young thirteen. That's got to be at the top for
6:43
Speaker 5: a lot of people.
6:44
Speaker 2: Number one, I think so much, except that I think
6:46
Speaker 2: there were some people that were ready to move on
6:48
Speaker 2: to Aaron Rodgers, and there were some people that would detest.
6:51
Speaker 1: Those that were ready to move on Aaron Rodgers.
6:53
Speaker 2: So there was a lot of Yeah, that's probably the
6:55
Speaker 2: main one for a lot of people. Cultural touchdome. That
6:58
Speaker 2: and the Ray Allen trade. What's interesting is we don't
7:01
Speaker 2: ever talk about the Big Dog trade that followed the
7:03
Speaker 2: Ray Allen trade right after, because I think most people
7:05
Speaker 2: thought Big Dog was kind of the end of his career,
7:08
Speaker 2: even though he was only approaching thirty one, because of
7:11
Speaker 2: the way he played, you know, his body type, the
7:13
Speaker 2: way he played, his playing style. It was Ray that
7:16
Speaker 2: could have been the future star and ended up being
7:18
Speaker 2: the future star in this league that.
7:19
Speaker 1: Everyone was really gutted over.
7:21
Speaker 2: But we never think about the Glenn Robinson one, but
7:23
Speaker 2: that one kind of hurt me too. After Ray, that
7:29
Speaker 2: was kind of like, that's we're already blowing this team
7:31
Speaker 2: up in the last vestage was when Glenn unceremoniously got
7:34
Speaker 2: shipped to Atlanta and kind of finished his career out
7:37
Speaker 2: ended up winning a title with the Spurs.
7:39
Speaker 1: I think is last year.
7:41
Speaker 2: That was it, and it was that was It was
7:42
Speaker 2: sad because of how bright that star of the old
7:45
Speaker 2: one Bucks burned and then burned out brightly, you know,
7:47
Speaker 2: and then then burned out. That was a tough one.
7:50
Speaker 2: Obviously wasn't a trade, but the Molitor free agency like situation,
7:54
Speaker 2: I mean, that was the tough one for a young
7:56
Speaker 2: nine year old arman. The thought that, you know, this
7:59
Speaker 2: was growing up in sports in the early nineties, you
8:02
Speaker 2: never thought players were ever gonna leave, you know, especially
8:05
Speaker 2: the maldor Ganner. Those guys were the veterans. I'm like,
8:08
Speaker 2: is Paul Malader? How can Paul Malder leave the Milwaukee
8:12
Speaker 2: And I was a young kid, didn't know. Remember my
8:13
Speaker 2: dad waking me up and tell me he's gone. It
8:16
Speaker 2: was a sad one, even though it wasn't a trade.
8:18
Speaker 2: So those are the ones that stay, those other ones.
8:20
Speaker 3: If you have a certain vintage Amy by the Pool
8:22
Speaker 3: on the talking text line I love hers was Gorman Thomas.
8:26
Speaker 4: Oh taught me it was a business. I cried for
8:29
Speaker 4: days when Gorman Thomas was Yeah, you know, a fan favorite.
8:32
Speaker 3: There's not question favorite, No question was Rick Manning, right
8:37
Speaker 3: and then and then Gorman ended up coming back and
8:40
Speaker 3: finished his career. He ended up coming back for a
8:42
Speaker 3: little bit. But yeah, that gutted certain people. And Gorman
8:45
Speaker 3: Thomas was traded and it was Wendy ce League preb
8:49
Speaker 3: it was her favorite player at the time. And like
8:51
Speaker 3: a lot of times, people always ask me like why
8:53
Speaker 3: did the owner do this? Like this is this kid's
8:55
Speaker 3: favorite player, or it's like it's it's like, oh, all
8:58
Speaker 3: the people who are at policies, recent decisions.
9:01
Speaker 2: We need one owner at the top.
9:03
Speaker 3: Well that's what you get sometimes where it's like, hey,
9:05
Speaker 3: I like that guy, you can't trade him?
9:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, ask you know, or you get Terry Pagoula press
9:09
Speaker 5: conferences like yesterday, who yikes, yikes.
9:12
Speaker 1: Oh don't David Minova, that's why you don't want an owner?
9:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Well and our friend David Monona that did
9:18
Speaker 5: didn't say, as long as you guys have Pancake Man
9:20
Speaker 5: leading that team, you're gonna be good.
9:22
Speaker 4: I wish my Chicago Cubs.
9:23
Speaker 5: Were as good of an organization when it came to
9:24
Speaker 5: trades and Brewers fans can't be a bunch of idiots.
9:27
Speaker 5: You guys dealt from a position of strength. You got
9:29
Speaker 5: more peace for the puzzle. You should be happy. The
9:32
Speaker 5: Ray Allen one is definitely going to be an easy
9:34
Speaker 5: one to point to. I do also think that it's
9:38
Speaker 5: the Molitor version for a younger generation. When Prince left,
9:43
Speaker 5: it was so understood that he was going to be gone.
9:46
Speaker 5: But once I saw the number, and once I saw
9:49
Speaker 5: two hundred and eighteen million, and it was the Detroit Tigers,
9:52
Speaker 5: and like that would have been, you know, fourteen fifteen.
9:56
Speaker 5: Starting to understand the economics. You couldn't tell me the difference,
9:59
Speaker 5: but beween Detroit and Milwaukee.
10:01
Speaker 4: I was.
10:02
Speaker 5: I did not understand why they could sign a deal
10:05
Speaker 5: for two hundred and eighteen million dollars and you couldn't.
10:07
Speaker 5: It's only double what you offered them. Just paying it'll
10:11
Speaker 5: be fine. That was a tough one for me in
10:14
Speaker 5: a free agency, but a trade that the Rigie Section
10:17
Speaker 5: one hit differently, even though again back in the good
10:19
Speaker 5: old days, you got to meet all these guys and
10:21
Speaker 5: you ended up seeing the fruits of the labor right
10:24
Speaker 5: there in front of you, and it ended up being
10:25
Speaker 5: a core that didn't lose one hundred games, which was
10:28
Speaker 5: the first.
10:29
Speaker 4: Step in a positive direction for you.
10:31
Speaker 2: Uh.
10:32
Speaker 5: I wonder how many people have even felt that kind
10:36
Speaker 5: of painter anguish. I know there were a lot of
10:38
Speaker 5: folks and probably some young kids waking up today and
10:40
Speaker 5: some tough conversations for the for the parents because Freddy
10:43
Speaker 5: Peralta just the smile itself, Yes, and the amount of
10:48
Speaker 5: I think you hit it on the head when we
10:49
Speaker 5: talked about it, with what you were giving up and
10:52
Speaker 5: what you trade with Peralta. It's not only the two
10:54
Speaker 5: seven era or top five and Cy Young thirty five appearances, right,
10:59
Speaker 5: thirty five star book it starter. He's taking the ball
11:03
Speaker 5: every fifth day. You start counting out five days ahead
11:07
Speaker 5: and you're trying to figure out what game on the
11:09
Speaker 5: homestand you're gonna go to, oh Tuesday, Freddy's gonna pitch,
11:12
Speaker 5: and when he's pitched at home, they've won. So like
11:14
Speaker 5: that part of it, that consistency there, there's gonna be
11:18
Speaker 5: a reason why the number fifty one is gonna have
11:21
Speaker 5: been a lot of kids favorite. And you'll see, yeah,
11:23
Speaker 5: still see a lot of them, I imagine at American
11:25
Speaker 5: Family Field.
11:25
Speaker 3: But again the pain that if you're reacting from a
11:29
Speaker 3: place of like anger frustration, why do we even bother?
11:34
Speaker 4: I get it again, where I get it? I get it.
11:36
Speaker 3: But if you look at it kind of if you
11:37
Speaker 3: can detach and be clinical about it, you go, all right,
11:41
Speaker 3: you got two top one hundred prospects for one year
11:44
Speaker 3: of Freddy Peralta, which, as we said, thirty five starts
11:46
Speaker 3: at his clubhouse presence. Well, you know, Adamis's clubhouse presence
11:49
Speaker 3: was important too, and he left and they won ninety
11:51
Speaker 3: seven games.
11:52
Speaker 4: They could roll along. Will they miss Freddy? Yes?
11:54
Speaker 3: I say this is an endorsement of Brandon Woodriff's health
11:58
Speaker 3: and his ability to be the number one Oh Day guy,
12:00
Speaker 3: and not maybe he'll make thirty two starts right and
12:04
Speaker 3: take the ball, and what are you going to miss?
12:06
Speaker 3: Most the idea that the Brewers had a bargain in
12:10
Speaker 3: Freddy Peralta, that he was underpaid for the last five
12:13
Speaker 3: years grossly, and him making eight million dollars a year
12:16
Speaker 3: as a joke for what he was, you know, for
12:18
Speaker 3: being at the top of the top of the top
12:19
Speaker 3: five cy young guy was it's you're gonna miss that
12:23
Speaker 3: or are you gonna miss bitching every time he was
12:25
Speaker 3: on the mound time on a Tuesday night and he
12:27
Speaker 3: was throwing his sixtieth pitch at the start of the
12:29
Speaker 3: third inning, and you're like, oh, he's not Oh my god,
12:32
Speaker 3: he's not an ace.
12:33
Speaker 4: He's not an ace.
12:34
Speaker 3: You guys talked about that like all the all the
12:38
Speaker 3: segments we we devoted to arguing about whether he was
12:41
Speaker 3: worthy of that imaginary title of being an ace. Now
12:45
Speaker 3: that's are you gonna miss that too? Is that your
12:46
Speaker 3: security blanket? Is that you get to bitch about that.
12:52
Speaker 2: Missed the one, two, two pitches and nobody on base
12:55
Speaker 2: because he went full count. But that's what it was
12:58
Speaker 2: with Freddy. But yes, you know what, he he always
13:01
Speaker 2: was there to give you hiss all. I mean, I
13:03
Speaker 2: just I don't feel like Freddy was ever, at least
13:05
Speaker 2: the last few seasons, was ever a question about availability. Yeah,
13:08
Speaker 2: you're worried about the length of going games, but he
13:10
Speaker 2: was available for every start and he was quality, never
13:13
Speaker 2: watch list can.
13:14
Speaker 3: That was for all of his uh you know, accomplishments
13:18
Speaker 3: and stuff. To me, that's the greatest thing is that
13:19
Speaker 3: he just took the damn ball thirty five start like
13:23
Speaker 3: the best available.
13:24
Speaker 2: The best ability is availability. He was available.
13:26
Speaker 4: He pitched.
13:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, and for the wins he got you, and for
13:29
Speaker 2: the production he got you. He should have been making
13:31
Speaker 2: like six times more. And then he will be you know,
13:33
Speaker 2: like Scottie Pivott once said, my time will come.
13:35
Speaker 4: I enjoy the report. Yeah comes through.
13:40
Speaker 3: Well hopefully it is like a five year, two hundred
13:42
Speaker 3: million dollars day he deserves.
13:43
Speaker 5: It was Seattle right, like as bad as that, I
13:46
Speaker 5: wouldn't I would not mind if it's in the American
13:49
Speaker 5: not a way a long way from us. Not ye,
13:51
Speaker 5: not a factor for sure. You know who spends a
13:54
Speaker 5: lot of money the Texas Rangers. No income tax, Freddy
13:57
Speaker 5: go down the road like that.
13:58
Speaker 4: That makes a lot of.
13:58
Speaker 5: Strangers are in Tampa, beautiful spot and made some beachfront
14:03
Speaker 5: property like Merci he might want.
14:05
Speaker 3: They are going to love him in New York though,
14:06
Speaker 3: I mean they're gonna He's gonna be like, how can
14:10
Speaker 3: you you know him? You're gonna they're gonna love him,
14:12
Speaker 3: exact same thing with Willy. Willy went through some struggles
14:15
Speaker 3: this year in San Francisco. He signed the biggest contract
14:18
Speaker 3: the Giants have ever given.
14:19
Speaker 4: Out given something.
14:21
Speaker 3: Then you know, he struggled this year and then he
14:23
Speaker 3: came on at the end of the year. But like
14:25
Speaker 3: nobody was blaming him, but he had quite the roller
14:27
Speaker 3: coaster and people were down on him. So it is
14:29
Speaker 3: a different layer of pressure and being in New York.
14:32
Speaker 3: We were talking earlier about the sex and trade, right,
14:34
Speaker 3: the one that gutted you. So by the way which
14:36
Speaker 3: trade gutted you as a sports fan, hopefully it's as
14:39
Speaker 3: a kid, because the tough one. If you're an adult
14:41
Speaker 3: and you're gutted by a trade, you gotta examine your prior.
14:43
Speaker 2: Well, hater to tell that to a lot of fans
14:45
Speaker 2: that were gutted by hater, that didn't want to talk
14:47
Speaker 2: about anything else for months and months after except trade.
14:50
Speaker 3: They weren't gutted by that trade, but more by the
14:52
Speaker 3: results of it. That the first place that year that
14:58
Speaker 3: that trade wouldn't have been such a big deal, didn't
15:00
Speaker 3: know the results of it. The week after that, I mean,
15:01
Speaker 3: people were obsessed with. But they also didn't win for
15:06
Speaker 3: like this a week and a half.
15:07
Speaker 2: I know, so those were that was bad too, but
15:10
Speaker 2: I just feel like they were in the mix for
15:12
Speaker 2: a playoffs about the rest of the year. I mean,
15:14
Speaker 2: people were just obsessed with they from three.
15:17
Speaker 5: And a half games up. I know, that's that's where
15:19
Speaker 5: the that's where the yell.
15:21
Speaker 1: I'm just saying people were emotional about it.
15:22
Speaker 3: They also got back an All Star closer who did
15:24
Speaker 3: not perform was brute.
15:28
Speaker 2: That was a pretty big issue.
15:30
Speaker 3: It was just more that just gutted the clubhouse rather
15:32
Speaker 3: than adding they subtracted a big howitzer of an army.
15:35
Speaker 5: And the guy that it seemed like from uh, all
15:39
Speaker 5: times that I had been in there, everybody got along
15:41
Speaker 5: with Josh Shader. There wasn't anybody that didn't didn't vibe
15:45
Speaker 5: with him. The part of this one too is it's
15:48
Speaker 5: different because it is a clear idea. Right when when
15:51
Speaker 5: it was the Hater deal, it was almost like we're
15:53
Speaker 5: trying to go halfway. We're trying to thread the needle
15:55
Speaker 5: compete while also grabbing somebody to help us out into
15:59
Speaker 5: the future. This one is we're grabbing guys that are
16:01
Speaker 5: gonna be into the pipeline and a part of future success. Sure,
16:05
Speaker 5: they might appear here in twenty twenty five or twenty
16:07
Speaker 5: twenty six. I don't necessarily know either of them are
16:09
Speaker 5: making the opening day roster. I'd probably doubt either of
16:11
Speaker 5: them make the opening day roster. Now, maybe Williams can
16:14
Speaker 5: push for it or Sprout can push for it, But
16:16
Speaker 5: I think they're you know, contractually, they're probably mid May, right,
16:20
Speaker 5: makes more sense to service time wise that they're mid May.
16:23
Speaker 5: This is this is a different one that side. I
16:27
Speaker 5: I don't know that I heard this retort to the deal,
16:30
Speaker 5: and I'd like to get your spin on it, because financially,
16:34
Speaker 5: we talk about the end of you know, the end
16:37
Speaker 5: of days. Feel that December third, or whatever it is,
16:39
Speaker 5: when the CBA expires in December here of twenty six,
16:43
Speaker 5: and the thought of no baseball in twenty twenty seven,
16:46
Speaker 5: would that have driven you to try and take it
16:49
Speaker 5: one shot and run somebody into free agency because of
16:52
Speaker 5: the unknown of twenty twenty seven.
16:54
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think so. No.
16:56
Speaker 4: I think you got to stay the course and just
16:58
Speaker 4: assume there's gonna be ball.
17:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, Because I wonder how many teams are going to
17:03
Speaker 5: look at it and say, well, we're just gonna load
17:04
Speaker 5: up and see what happens, because we might not have
17:06
Speaker 5: to spend any money.
17:07
Speaker 2: Credit card future.
17:10
Speaker 4: It is not. But I think if you're the Brewers,
17:12
Speaker 4: you just got to make this move.
17:13
Speaker 3: And again, like when they got Freddy Peralta and then
17:18
Speaker 3: they signed there a couple of guys. Uh, you got
17:21
Speaker 3: to get like three or four prospects to get one
17:23
Speaker 3: of them, right, so out of the out of the
17:25
Speaker 3: if you had six guys in the top one hundred
17:27
Speaker 3: and two of them become all stars, you're doing Okay.
17:29
Speaker 3: They traded, uh first Baseman Adam Lint happened during the
17:33
Speaker 3: winter meetings back when you know, trades happened during the
17:35
Speaker 3: when you're probably at the winter meetings. UH, and general
17:38
Speaker 3: manager David Stearns wanted to acquire young talent, got your
17:41
Speaker 3: boy Daniel Mizaki, Carlos Herea and young nineteen year old
17:46
Speaker 3: Freddy Parole panned out, became your opening day started an
17:50
Speaker 3: all star, good, very good deal. We got to Yeah, okay,
17:54
Speaker 3: so what about the good deals? Like you focus on
17:57
Speaker 3: the ones that gutted you, Like the christ and Yellis
17:59
Speaker 3: trade worked out pretty well.
18:00
Speaker 4: That worked out pretty well.
18:02
Speaker 5: I think this one's interesting on these trade first line
18:04
Speaker 5: pretty well. Were pissed for a little while, But then
18:08
Speaker 5: I think I actually the ones that hurt more of
18:11
Speaker 5: the ones that don't happen, right like that in a way,
18:14
Speaker 5: if I'm thinking about the trades that really grinded my
18:16
Speaker 5: gears when I was young, the fact that I saw
18:19
Speaker 5: Randy Moss catch a touchdown in Week one for the
18:21
Speaker 5: New England Patriots and not from Brett Fall on a
18:24
Speaker 5: packer's uniform. That one I still get pissed off.
18:27
Speaker 2: Part it's I went to bed and I'm like, we're
18:31
Speaker 2: getting Randy Moss this.
18:32
Speaker 5: I thought it was like shot at the marquet the
18:34
Speaker 5: first time done deal is exactly.
18:35
Speaker 2: That was the first shock of the market until it
18:38
Speaker 2: actually happened. You know what's funny about that, Randy, I
18:40
Speaker 2: had to go through a whole processing of accepting Randy
18:43
Speaker 2: Moss as a packer, and I had done that. I
18:45
Speaker 2: completed that, I completed the emotional processing of of of
18:49
Speaker 2: the mental gymnastics of being cool with Randy Moss as
18:52
Speaker 2: a packer after I didn't like it for so long,
18:54
Speaker 2: and then we still don't get them come on.
18:56
Speaker 4: Love it that a battle?
18:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, when we come back, but he's Dolphin's going to
19:00
Speaker 3: join the conversation. We're having a blast here on a Thursday.
19:04
Speaker 3: Thanks for hanging out with us and being up early
19:06
Speaker 3: and reacting to all this stuff. You're streaming us on
19:09
Speaker 3: YouTube X or Facebook, and if you're not well, hope
19:11
Speaker 3: you're listening to us on the iHeartRadio app ten seventy
19:13
Speaker 3: in Madison or nine twenty in Milwaukee. It's the Huddle
19:16
Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
19:23
Speaker 4: I've got to shove.
19:28
Speaker 2: This radio Wisconsin.
19:30
Speaker 3: Threw Wilson, Delli Schmid armand Sorry and your morning crew here,
19:35
Speaker 3: the Morning Sickness crew. If you will like that halftime
19:38
Speaker 3: of our show. We go to our halftime, reporter Scott
19:40
Speaker 3: Dolphins from the country station on the Hall has joined
19:42
Speaker 3: the party, and Dolph, we're already talking about the big
19:44
Speaker 3: headline of the day of the Bruis trade. As a guy
19:46
Speaker 3: who goes to a lot of Brewers games, your thoughts
19:48
Speaker 3: on not being able to see Freddy Parolta anymore.
19:49
Speaker 6: I'm disappointing, obviously, but it was inevitable, right, I mean,
19:53
Speaker 6: I didn't realize until I was reading stuff on Freddy
19:55
Speaker 6: this morning that he came from the Mariners.
19:59
Speaker 4: I remember.
20:00
Speaker 6: I remember his debut a couple of years later on
20:03
Speaker 6: in Colorado. Who doesn't remember that when he was twenty one?
20:05
Speaker 6: But I had forgotten that that was Adam Lynn. That
20:09
Speaker 6: was an Adam Lynde transaction way back. Oh my goodness. Yeah,
20:12
Speaker 6: we were looking.
20:13
Speaker 3: So we're talking about trades today and like, which one
20:15
Speaker 3: has a kid gutted you? Because my theory in sports
20:17
Speaker 3: is the best time to be a sports fans between
20:20
Speaker 3: the ages of eight and twelve into thirteen, and then
20:22
Speaker 3: you get like jaded and you start to get Yeah,
20:24
Speaker 3: but that's when it's innocent and you just root and
20:27
Speaker 3: whoever's wearing your jersey is your favorite player. And you
20:29
Speaker 3: might have a guy who's not a star that becomes
20:32
Speaker 3: your favorite guy, your guy, and then if he gets
20:34
Speaker 3: traded your there you go?
20:37
Speaker 4: Is that yours?
20:37
Speaker 3: Oh?
20:38
Speaker 5: I loved, I loved After Richie Sexon ended up getting
20:40
Speaker 5: felt because we just hit on that one.
20:42
Speaker 4: I had to I had to pivot. I had to
20:43
Speaker 4: find somebody else trade. That's good. I bet Paul Maltar
20:46
Speaker 4: would be the name for a lot of people.
20:48
Speaker 2: Yeah.
20:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, he left via free agency that's Armans. He was
20:51
Speaker 3: the one exit man because Batman or Robin you had,
20:54
Speaker 3: you were either on the playground.
20:56
Speaker 2: And he always came through, you know. It was like
20:58
Speaker 2: Paul Malor was that guy, you know, like the best
21:00
Speaker 2: hitter in the league. You just always came through. He
21:02
Speaker 2: was a great standup. You just loved him. So it
21:05
Speaker 2: was hard when you were a young kid.
21:06
Speaker 6: I'm trying to think for me, I mean, there's there's
21:08
Speaker 6: I was obviously disappointed like everybody was when CC didn't
21:11
Speaker 6: come back, But as a kid, what gutted me.
21:13
Speaker 4: It wasn't a trade.
21:14
Speaker 6: But I grew up a Yankees fan, and when Thurman
21:16
Speaker 6: Munson died, end of the world me. I remember walking
21:19
Speaker 6: around in shock for a week.
21:21
Speaker 3: That was a huge one. That's bad sports. That was
21:24
Speaker 3: really bad. And Wayne l Yankees fans growing up. Yeah,
21:28
Speaker 3: and you know Wayne's from Massachusetts. I'm from Iowa. He
21:31
Speaker 3: has no excuse because he grew up in people who
21:34
Speaker 3: liked the Cubs. For me, it was weird in my
21:36
Speaker 3: hometown Eastern Iowa.
21:37
Speaker 6: There's a lot of Cubs fans, by the way, but
21:39
Speaker 6: everybody else's he picks a team, you know, and so
21:43
Speaker 6: you had to like that.
21:43
Speaker 5: Just lottery ticket fantasy draft style. The same way for
21:46
Speaker 5: every sport.
21:47
Speaker 6: Not so much NBA, it's not that big out there,
21:48
Speaker 6: but in football it's mostly Vikings, Packers and Bears and
21:52
Speaker 6: pick a Market. Yeah, my brother is a big Packers
21:54
Speaker 6: fan now me.
21:55
Speaker 3: I grew my pal Johnny Vegas when he was in
21:58
Speaker 3: that sweet spot eight nine years old. He adopted as
22:00
Speaker 3: his favorite teams for life the teams that won the
22:03
Speaker 3: championship when he was eight or nine years old. So
22:04
Speaker 3: therefore he loves the Baltimore Orioles not working out too
22:07
Speaker 3: well for him. The Miami Dolphins also not working out
22:11
Speaker 3: the last generation well, and fortunately he did gravitate towards
22:14
Speaker 3: the UCLA Bruins for basketball. Oh sure you know what
22:17
Speaker 3: so on the title when he was a kid that
22:20
Speaker 3: those are his to this day, his die hard rider
22:23
Speaker 3: die teams like that.
22:24
Speaker 2: I don't like to try and play holier than now
22:27
Speaker 2: or sports fan gate keep well maybe sometimes what maybe sometimes?
22:31
Speaker 1: So get the drawbridge out here. I never understood that.
22:35
Speaker 2: I never stood just picking a team and flipping on
22:37
Speaker 2: a switch of fantom. I never I'll be honest with
22:40
Speaker 2: you deep down, now is different for you, Dolphin don't
22:43
Speaker 2: really have home teams in Iowa.
22:44
Speaker 1: Thoris stand not cheer for the home team.
22:46
Speaker 2: For me at Civic Pride, and I always kind of
22:48
Speaker 2: side eyed people that did stuff like that.
22:50
Speaker 1: I did, you have the right to.
22:52
Speaker 2: Like who you want, but I'm gonna side on you
22:53
Speaker 2: if you don't cheer for your home team.
22:55
Speaker 3: Sometimes sometimes armor though, it can be as simple as
22:58
Speaker 3: I'm seven years old and the Astros are on TV
23:01
Speaker 3: with those great technicolor orange jerseys for this team touch
23:06
Speaker 3: as your emotions.
23:07
Speaker 4: It can be as simple as that, that's the game.
23:10
Speaker 2: So by the jersey, Yeah, you think about you're going
23:12
Speaker 2: to grow up loving I mean, okay.
23:14
Speaker 5: But then you I've also heard you say if you
23:17
Speaker 5: wear a jersey of a team that's not the home team,
23:19
Speaker 5: then you can't wear the home team jersey because you're
23:21
Speaker 5: not a fan.
23:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean kids can I think kids can wear
23:24
Speaker 1: Oh I want jerseys as a kid.
23:27
Speaker 3: But you also grew up in where it was the
23:29
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan phenomena.
23:31
Speaker 4: Tap it where you you wanted to see Jordan come
23:33
Speaker 4: into your building.
23:34
Speaker 3: You wanted your team to win, and you wanted him
23:35
Speaker 3: to score sixty points and put on a show and
23:37
Speaker 3: dunk a bunch of that's true.
23:38
Speaker 2: There was no Michael Jordan. Was it like when they
23:42
Speaker 2: like when the Braves in the Yankees played in the
23:45
Speaker 2: World Series. Obviously Milwaukee Braves, you know, but it was
23:47
Speaker 2: exciting for the kids in Milwaukee when Mickey Mantle came
23:49
Speaker 2: to town. Oh, these are the Yankees, Like we're gonna
23:52
Speaker 2: wave to them and like try and get a glimpse.
23:54
Speaker 2: I get that when you're a worldwide phenomenon like Jordan,
23:57
Speaker 2: one of these guys Matt d Idol, Yeah, okay, I'm
23:59
Speaker 2: not to sit.
24:00
Speaker 1: There in Jordan telling Yeah, I'm not going to sit
24:02
Speaker 1: there and tell you to boo.
24:03
Speaker 4: You know.
24:03
Speaker 1: Well, Koreem was different because he got traded.
24:05
Speaker 5: But but it's just like, I don't know, I had
24:08
Speaker 5: a good front running run of my sports fandom where
24:12
Speaker 5: it ran to My favorite player was Derek Cheter.
24:14
Speaker 2: So I was able to like the Yankees.
24:16
Speaker 5: Now, granted I picked right after they lost to the
24:18
Speaker 5: year zon A Diamondbacks.
24:19
Speaker 3: Huh.
24:19
Speaker 4: So picked on the right time.
24:20
Speaker 6: That was the end of the dynasty sort of for
24:22
Speaker 6: that group of players. A good time to go that way.
24:25
Speaker 6: And you want to talk about just like the band
24:27
Speaker 6: and the pageantry. I always loved the little Buckeye leaves
24:31
Speaker 6: on the helmets of Ohio State ut and that.
24:34
Speaker 5: Was a lot of fun to talk about my and
24:36
Speaker 5: drop my nuts when they would end up winning being
24:38
Speaker 5: the number one team on all Badgers, because it was
24:41
Speaker 5: a good retort and you wanted to be a little
24:43
Speaker 5: contrarian and you know the young guy that was going
24:45
Speaker 5: to talk Trumphio State from the big time.
24:48
Speaker 2: Yeah.
24:49
Speaker 5: Oh and when Ohio State beat by Wisconsin, who was
24:53
Speaker 5: the quarterback wounded up with the Bears, Kurt what was his.
24:57
Speaker 4: Name, Craig crimsle Yep.
25:01
Speaker 2: The toughest part was not remembering the ohiose Date quarterback,
25:04
Speaker 2: was remembering the Bears quarterback because they had like ninety six.
25:08
Speaker 4: And he was one of them, but armand he was
25:10
Speaker 4: one of them.
25:10
Speaker 3: On one hand, you're telling me that you don't understand
25:14
Speaker 3: the ethos of somebody who would adopt a team that's
25:16
Speaker 3: not in their favorite team making your favorite team. But
25:20
Speaker 3: you also grew up in an era and the kids today,
25:22
Speaker 3: these kids today so spoiled.
25:23
Speaker 4: Where there wasn't like the Packers weren't a.
25:25
Speaker 3: Super Bowl contender every year, and the Brewers weren't in
25:28
Speaker 3: the golden age that they're in right now. So of
25:31
Speaker 3: course teams go looking. You get seduced by the success
25:34
Speaker 3: and the glitz of other teams and hips and watching
25:37
Speaker 3: the playoffs, so of course you're gonna be like.
25:39
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean, growing up in the nineties, the
25:41
Speaker 2: Brewers and the Bucks were bad most of the I mean,
25:44
Speaker 2: and that's why I got That's why I thought it
25:46
Speaker 2: was even better because you know, you were a real
25:48
Speaker 2: one that actually cheer for the team winner loose.
25:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, so this is another way of telling you, telling
25:52
Speaker 5: everybody that you're better than them.
25:54
Speaker 4: Yes, I like that. I liked that.
25:55
Speaker 5: That's how wow, all the way back around to this
25:59
Speaker 5: gate keeper to let everybody know I'm a better fan
26:02
Speaker 5: than you because I was here. You don't even remember
26:06
Speaker 5: the ninety five Brewers like I do.
26:08
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you know, I played griefy Junior winning
26:11
Speaker 2: run on Super Nintendo. I played with the Brewers, not
26:13
Speaker 2: one of these really good teams. I played with Blue
26:15
Speaker 2: Edwards and Brad Lohas on nag Oh my.
26:18
Speaker 6: God, hey, all right, I'm fine with that.
26:23
Speaker 3: He was actually good, big lefty six' ten and that driver,
26:28
Speaker 3: man he hit it like three.
26:29
Speaker 4: Yeah oh. GOD i remember he.

26:45
Speaker 6: City he's still very popular.
26:46
Speaker 4: There, OH i believe.
26:47
Speaker 2: IT i believe.
26:48
Speaker 4: It Big. Bird they used to call him well And.
26:50
Speaker 5: Dolphin it also isn't surprising that THE nba is not
26:52
Speaker 5: huge In iowa because that's wrestling. Season we can't be
26:56
Speaker 5: watching THE nba there in high school wrestling.
26:57
Speaker 4: Season there's no.
26:58
Speaker 2: Shot that we're gonna be able to get that. True

27:29

27:34

Speaker 6: BUT i would did some of those celebrity bartender things

38:02
Speaker 3: Dominating it's seven, seven seven ninety, seven three After Freddy
38:06
Speaker 3: paroltis traded to The mets for a couple of top
38:08
Speaker 3: one hundred. Prospects we're asking what's the trade that gutted
38:11
Speaker 3: you as a? Kid and if you like The Freddy parolta,
38:15
Speaker 3: trade if you didn't like The freddie Pelt to, trade
38:17
Speaker 3: at least you were semi prepared for.
38:19
Speaker 4: It how are people going to react when and If
38:21
Speaker 4: jannis is?
38:22
Speaker 2: Traded that's the ONE i you, know in the back
38:24
Speaker 2: of your, mind you hope we never come to that
38:26
Speaker 2: where like what will? Happen you, know will this be
38:28
Speaker 2: the ONE i talk? About and it reminds me or
38:31
Speaker 2: kind of doesn't remind. Me it makes me think of
38:32
Speaker 2: like WHAT dmz said, here and it was The kareem
38:35
Speaker 2: trade and obviously it wasn't around for That, drew but it's,
38:37
Speaker 2: like would that be the type of seismic? Shift and
38:40
Speaker 2: it's a good reminder you can never get equal value
38:42
Speaker 2: for an all time. GREAT i think that's the WAY i.
38:44
Speaker 2: Think but the bucks that Get bridgeman And Brian Winter, Frichman.
38:47
Speaker 3: Brian, Winters Dave myers And Elmore. Smith that was like
38:51
Speaker 3: the three guys that were at the corps of really
38:52
Speaker 3: good teams that never won a. Title but they were
38:56
Speaker 3: guys obviously obviously not but you do the best you.
39:00
Speaker 3: Can we were talking about The Richie sexon. Trade you
39:02
Speaker 3: got like five starting players for one guy who played
39:05
Speaker 3: In arizona for one year and it was hurt the
39:07
Speaker 3: whole year and then went and signed With. Seattle they
39:09
Speaker 3: won that. Trade, Sorry Dan, needles BUT i will always
39:12
Speaker 3: say that. Bros not only to win that trade that
39:14
Speaker 3: was a two twenty seven to.
39:17
Speaker 5: Zero georgia was absolutely that that.
39:23
Speaker 4: One that one's a no.
39:24
Speaker 5: Decision the other part of it is you see trades
39:27
Speaker 5: a lot of. Times you've BECOME i think we Have
39:30
Speaker 5: brewer fans would just kind of become accustomed. To in three,
39:32
Speaker 5: years this will look a lot. Better AND i also
39:34
Speaker 5: wonder how much of this because the the only Pushback
39:38
Speaker 5: i've Seen drew is that now you have this uh
39:42
Speaker 5: just gluttony of talent at shortstop and second base in center,
39:45
Speaker 5: field that's kind of where you want to have most, them.
39:50
Speaker 5: Right it's like the, best most athletic. Guys the best
39:53
Speaker 5: players generally are.
39:54
Speaker 4: Around if you can play, short you can play.
39:56
Speaker 2: Third.
39:57
Speaker 4: Correct IF i think you play, short you can.
39:59
Speaker 3: Play left field or right, field probably because you're those
40:01
Speaker 3: are the athletic.
40:02
Speaker 4: Guys.
40:02
Speaker 3: Yeah absolutely want guys up the. Middle and if you
40:05
Speaker 3: move them like, okay Hey SU's, matday where's he going to?
40:08
Speaker 2: Play?
40:08
Speaker 4: Well does it?
40:09
Speaker 3: MATTER I m be really good wherever he, plays like
40:12
Speaker 3: and then you, know Could terang play second or?
40:15
Speaker 2: Short?
40:15
Speaker 4: Sure, Right it's like if they, again they have options and.
40:19
Speaker 2: That's what they.
40:19
Speaker 1: WANT i think that's still an interesting. Question Would terrang
40:21
Speaker 1: ever moved a.
40:22
Speaker 3: Short it's kind of there's last, year, right well you
40:26
Speaker 3: heard it just enough to not play, there but he
40:28
Speaker 3: WASN'T i, KNOW.
40:29
Speaker 4: I, know but it was like that deterred him from.
40:32
Speaker 5: Playing you got a feeling they go back to that
40:33
Speaker 5: this year BECAUSE i would think If I'm Bryce, TERRANG
40:36
Speaker 5: i would push for it because they got going to
40:37
Speaker 5: make so much more Money final and you come in
40:40
Speaker 5: And Babere pratt coming and and they're one of their best.
40:43
Speaker 2: Prospects is the kid a third?
40:44
Speaker 4: Base?
40:45
Speaker 3: Now so it's, like what are you gonna you know,
40:46
Speaker 3: again having a lot of good players is not a.
40:49
Speaker 3: Problem it's what you strive for and It's god. FORBID i, mean,
40:53
Speaker 3: now go back and think about prospect lists. Again if
40:56
Speaker 3: you get ten guys on your your top ten prospects
40:59
Speaker 3: and two of, breakthrough then you're, happy, right because if
41:02
Speaker 3: you go look at top prospects lists from a few years,
41:04
Speaker 3: ago you can see the Name.
