• 1:16
  Speaker 1: That's right, Fergdog and Alf the Alien Opinter and mister
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: nice Guy. For over forty years, ty Iraq has been

• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Tire iraq dot Com, The Way Tire Buying Show. So
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: we go to baseball, talking Bay's Ball and our lead
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: this hour from Chicago, Big Money, big drama involving a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: big bear of Chicago Cup. Now, I would argue that
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: very few people tune in the Cub Baseball to watch
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: this guy play, and that very few people buy tickets
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to watch this guy play. But yet he is said
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to be the headliner of the Cubs. They're at a crossroads.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: If you don't know where I'm going with this, maybe
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: not so Kyle Tucker. Yes, so it's Tucker and Tucker.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: We started last hour with the Ravens Kicker. Now we're
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: talking about Kyle Tucker. So, Kyle Tucker is at a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: crossroads at Wrigley Field. He is in the last year
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of his contract and the new deal, the great New
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Deal sounds like it's out of Washington, DC. For Kyle
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Tucker would pay him in the neighborhood of five hundred
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: million dollars. Now, this one blows me away. I think
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Tucker is a fine player. I just don't think of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: him as a box office guy. I don't everywhere I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: read it's a five hundred million dollars. That's the get
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in buy in price for the Cubs, and so there's
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: no deal yet. Therefore the Shiticago Cubs front office has
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to make a decision. The Cubs are not playing as
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: well as they were early in the year. Everyone has
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a shot at the playoffs because they have all these
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: wild card teams. So everyone's kind of in contention. Unless
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you're the Rockies or the A's or the White Sox,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you're kind of in contention or the Marlins to make
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. So most of the league has a chance
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. Now that being said, right, the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: trade deadline is about a month a little over a month.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: July thirty first is the trade deadline. So if the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Cubs aren't going to keep the player, would they trade
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker? They have to decide that. Oh the human drama.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So Kyle Tucker was asked about the ongoing negotiation. Do
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you see this?
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: No?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: So Kyle Tucker was asked about negotiations on an extension
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: this week what did he say? He said quote. For
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the most part, We're just going to keep that between us.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: If anything happens, I'm sure you guys will know, all right,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: close quote. So let us discuss the question can you
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: read anything? Can you read anything into Kyle Tucker's response
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to the question about the Cubs contract talks and where
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: they are right now? So of course you can. Now
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: in this one, I've got Christie's Pyongyang and Pep Boys,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: we are going to make deep dish Chicago pizza, which
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I believe is in the freezer here courtesy of Perito.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Is that correct? Do I have that accurate? All right?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Prita. Sea may or may not be the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: reason I'm here, but I'm just pointing that out. Not
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that I don't love being here and hanging out with
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: my friends, but anyway, all right, so number one number,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I said, number one under I got a feeling in
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: my bones. Number one umber. Okay, all right, So if
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you listen between the words, you parse the words, which
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you have to do, and if you ever get a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: talk show or a podcast, just parse words. That's all
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you have to do. It's easy pasy fun to do
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and and you can come up with all kinds of answers.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: So on this one, and this is based on a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: lifetime of dealing with these kind of stories. If a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: guy says we're just gonna keep it between us, Kyle
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Tucker is sending out a smoke signal, that is a
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: dead giveaway, dead giveaway. It was the non answer that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: is an answer, non answer that it is an answer.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Now what do I mean? Let me expand on that.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: So you think a guy who wants a long term contract,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: a player that really likes where he's playing, you think
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: they give that answer We're gonna keep it private. No, No,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: they say stuff like, oh man, I love it here.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I got a place right on Lake Michigan's beautiful. I'm
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: right next to cow Herd here in Chicago. It's amazing. Man.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I know he's gonna have to move because he got
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: drafted by the Trailblazers according to ESPN, So Coward's gonna move,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: but for now, I'm like right next to him, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it's just great. And I got sick views the weather
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in the summer in Chicago's no better city to live in.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: It's just amazing. Oh, my god. No, he didn't say anything.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I want to retire here the greatest fans in the world.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: We're building something special. I don't want to leave this team.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: He didn't say any of that. So now if the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Cubs also, if the Cubs had not had not made
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: him an offer, they obviously made him an offer, then
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: mad Andfer there would be nothing to keep between the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: team and the player. So they made him an offer.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Wasn't an acceptable offer, otherwise he would have accepted the offer.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: So so at this point it's like, well, he really
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: wants to go to free agency, but they're playing ping pong.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: They're going back and forth and negotiate it. Maybe it's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the money, could be the amount of years, could be
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the amount of deferred money they want the Dodgers set
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: up where they get paid till they're eighty years old
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to avoid taxes. So who knows. Now that being said,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the smart based on a minutes long deliberation of the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: available information, the smart money says that Kyle Tucker is
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: going to hit the Christie's Swap meet, if you know
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: what I mean. That The between us line was yeah.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: What he meant to say was yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: probably leaving. But I don't want to deal with the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: drama of you people freaking out when I say I'm
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: going to test the market. I'm going to go to market.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: So rather than say that, I'm just gonna keep it
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: between us. No, he does not have Kyle Tucker does
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: not have Scott Boris as his client. So that gives
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the Cubs a little bit of wiggle room, little bit
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of wiggle room. If Scott Boris's client, there's no way
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you even consider any kind of extension. That's it, forget
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: about it. But nevertheless, all right, nevertheless, what you want
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: is a bidding war. You want a bidding war. How
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: do you get a bidding war? How do you do it?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Silent auction at Christie's. And you bring in the sucks,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: not the White Sox they suck, the Red Sox, the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Higantes who are spending some money, the Giants they just
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: traded for Rafael Devers and his enormous contract and his
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: enormous waistline. And then the Yankees, the match, the Dodgers,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the usual suspects, and the Cubs, and up, up and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: away the bidding war. Right now, turning the page, we
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: now take a little pit stop in Boston where I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: did a double check at the recent comments by Alex Cora.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: So you see what he said. He's the manager of
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the Boston baseball team. So Alex Cora, the Red Sox
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: manager who once fancied himself for the players manager. I'm
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: all about the players and all that. He has decided
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: he also can manage the media. Now, that's right, Alex
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Cora is now in charge of the media. I didn't
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: know I needed a manager, but apparently I do.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: So.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: If you didn't see this, he said, everyone is supposed
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: to zippe radio silence and just nod solemnly and move on.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Do not mention Rafael Devers. Don't mention his name because
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Alex core does not want you to talk about that.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: He wants to move on. That's what he said. So
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Alex Korra urging everyone to stop discussing the Rafael Devers
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: trade to help the Red Sox clubhouse move on. Is
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: that how this works? I'm asking for a friend, so
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: ix nay on the ask. That would be my response. Unfortunately,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Alex Kra, you're not the manager, you're not the mayor,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you're not the big politician there in Pyongyang where you
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: could get away with that. That's not how it works here.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Sorry not sorry, right, And Alice Core is the same
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: guy who failed miserably to use diplomacy. If Alex Core
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: had been good at his job, Rafael Devers would still
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: be playing for the Red Sox that was botched from
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Jump Street by Alice Cora and the front office. But
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Alice Cora is supposed to be the ultimate players manager
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and as we said, and he
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: could not convince Rafaeld Devers to be a team player,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to go to grab a first base mit and go
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: out and play first base and all that stuff. And
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: so now he wants to dictate the baseball news cycle.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: And this is one of those stories. And then listen,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I try to talk baseball in the show a fair amount,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and we talk more baseball here than most places do
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: doing this kind of work. But these are the kind
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: of stories that provide gooditar radio. It reminds me of
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: like and just say, well, you shouldn't talk about this.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: It's like when that dumb, dumb Mookie bets more on
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: him in a minute when the Padres and Dodgers were
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: getting into a slobber knocker and Mookie is I'm not
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: talking about that, but why not. That's the story that
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: gets people engaged. Dummy, and he want to talk about
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: it ridiculous. But as far as this one is concerned, right,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you know, all of a sudden, you know, mid season
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: trade of the franchise cornerstone forever player to another another
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: team across the country, and it's just another random day
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: in the major leagues. So this is the part of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the story where you put Alex Kra on airplane mode. Right,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you just did no Wi Fi and that's it. And
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: of course, if you didn't already, I don't get a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: check from Alscorra. Neither does well unless you work for
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Red Sox dot Com. I guess you do if you
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: work for the team. We're not. We're not in the dugout.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: We should be, but we're not. And I don't believe
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: check my contract. I don't believe we're obligated to pretend
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: that this massive seismic shift of a Red Sox player
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to basically given away the rid sucks. You got garbage
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: for him from the Giants, that that is not something
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: of talk talk radio purpose. Even later, like i's been
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: been a minute, been a couple of weeks, but still
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: all right. Now, final point to La. We go, we
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: go to La and sure enough the Dodgers completed the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: old sweep aeroo of the Rockies there. However, not all
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: as well in Blue Heaven. Now, Mookie Bets had a
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: couple of hits, but he is in the midst of
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: his worst season in the big leagues. Moogie Bets has
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: often sucked at a time you cannot suck. That's not
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: my opinion, that is a fact. What's the evidence. I'll
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: give you the evns. So Moogie Bets is on pace.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: We're halfway through the baseball season. He is on paced
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to have the lowest batting average, lowest on base percentage,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: lowest slugging percentage of his entire career, the very bottom,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: rock bottom for the Mooxster rock bottom. Now. Dave Roberts
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: recently was asked about the obvious connection of well, the
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: reason Mookie Bets blows is because he's playing shortstop and
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: it's a tougher position defensively, and so it's spilling over.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: There's some spillage, it's spilling into his offensive game. Now,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Roberts pushed back on that and says there's no correlation
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: between Mookie Bets sucking offensively compared to what he had
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: been and now being shortstop for the Dodgers. So question,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: what is the level of concern? What is the level
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: of concern for the Dodgers with shortstop Mookie Bets and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: his subparse performance for the team this season. So Mallor
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: scale of concern, Mallar scale concern one to ten, with
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: ten being like alarm bells going on. I'm at a seven.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I'm a very distressing Now. I've been in chat conversations,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: like text conversations with some friends and they're like, oh, man,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter hit when the playoffs come around. So
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: how do you know that? Like, how do you know?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: And you don't know that he hasn't hit pretty much
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: all season, right, He's been a bust, and so he's
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: just assuming when the playoffs come around, all of a sudden,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: he's gonna what are you gonna get a corked bat
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: or something like that. I mean, come on, Mookie is
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: one of the pillars of the what's supposed to be
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the Big Blue Wrecking Crew, and you get three hundred
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: and sixty five million dead presents. That's a lot of
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: monopoly money, and you should get more production, it goes
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: without saying, than what Mookie Bets has provided for the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Dodgers this year. And at this point you might as
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: well call a tow truck and send the Mookie over
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to Pep Boys there for a tune up, because he's
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: He's supposed to be the engine, or at least part
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: of the engine, and right now the check engine light
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: is on for Mookie Bets. He's the second lowest on
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: base plus slugging percentage in the Dodger every day lineup,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the only one. And this is among all their qualified hitters.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: The only player that sucks more than Mookie Bets is
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Michael Conforto, who actually hit a little bit recently, but
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: still took the first two months of the baseball season off.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: But Mookie trails six other players in the everyday Dodger
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: lineup in that category. So again, I still want to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: hear it's a long season. Don't worry. I have to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: worry about today's show. I have a show to do today.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I have to worry about what's going on right now
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in this moment. We live in the moment, and in
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: this moment, he sucks. That's it. And you are I
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: know This is a wild concept and you're not gonna
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: like it, but you are judged by your results. It's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: a results based business, and right now the results are
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: screaming that Mookie Betts has relocated to a little suburb
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: of Los Angeles called Suckville and he is the mayor
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of Suckville right now. So do better and be better.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: And it's not outrageous. You're making three hundred and sixty
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: five million and all that. And if Mookie say it's
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: a bad year, it's a slump or something like that.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: But if he lost something, he's got he said some
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: medical stuff. They're paying him for a very long time,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: so Mookie's gonna be around for years to come. Good
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: luck on that. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If

  Speaker 3: you to listen to the show. I'm here to ask
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: you please don't listen to the show. The hosts are
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: two absolute morons who have the dumbest takes on sports, imagicable.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Don't listen to the show so it can get cancel.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: The studio, Get him, that fool. Listen to The Paul
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and Tony Fosco Show on the iHeart Radio app or

  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: It's Maler, how about that?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: To the third degree? This is one big Ben gets great.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Our friend Brie. What do we have here?
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Then, with all the rumors going around this with the Celtics,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: everything must go roster sale. Are you surprised that Jalen
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Brown is still at Boston Celtic today after the draft?
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Often he's still there a little bit, but they do
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: have to sell tickets. They can't get rid of everyone.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: If somebody had made them the Godfather offer, they would
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: have traded Jalen Rownd. It's still not out of the
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: question because you still trade him before you know, he's
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: got a couple months ago in the summertime before the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: NBA season. I'm only slightly surprised because he's got a
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars contract. They're trying to trim the payroll. Next.

  Speaker 4: During his first media availability after drafting Cooper Flag, Nico
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Harrison said, fortune favors the bold.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and what do you think of these comments? I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: think Nico Harrison should be fired and the fact that
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: he still has a job is Malfeasan's by the ownership
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: of the Dallas Mavericks. And there is bad mojo. I
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: don't normally believe in mojo, but there's bad mojo around
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the Mavericks. Either the NBA forced them to trade Luca
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: or Nico Harrison decided to trade Luca. Either way, they
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: got to get rid of Nico Harrison, because at any
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: moment he could wake up and say, whoever the best
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: player on the Mavericks says we're going to trade him next.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: AMC's website now displays the reminder that movie showtime has

  Speaker 4: you think this is a good idea or totally pointless?
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: It's totally pointless. Anyone's ever been in the movies knows
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that when you go to the movies, it doesn't start
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: when it's supposed to start. They're gonna play the trailers,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and that's when you go get your popcorn, your cane,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: and your snacks. Everyone knows it's obvious. You don't need
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: to announce it. They're just worried about lawsuits. How do
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: we die? Game?
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I put it on the board.
