Flaherty's back in Detroit, MLB's Luka for AD, Machado on SD's empty winter, Orlando Rays hints from Larkin? · Foul Territory

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And I don't think that.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: To be honest with you, there won't be an expansion
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: team that comes to Orlando.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: It will have to be a team that moves.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Heja. It's a dream come true. Top of the show
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: out here, you're not here? What else do you love?
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Uh, you're not here?
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Topics besides baseball?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean ice cream? I mean what do
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: we want to talk about it? What are we talking Luca?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: For a d.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I don't get. I must say this.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I have friends that live in Dallas, and they want
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: to know what the f is going on? What's the
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: baseball comparison? It would be like trading Bryce Harper for
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Bobby Witt junior, something like that.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: A great compothing.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: It would be something like that, right, A little bit
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: of an older guy, but still really good for a
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: younger guy that I don't know. The only thing is listen,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I don't watch a ton of NBA. I'm not really
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: huge like you are, Scott. But doesn't this screw Luca
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: from not signing a max contract?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: So like it kind of not only did the MAVs
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: according to everyone I know in Dallas, they got bleeped
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: according but there must be more to this than we know.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And but it also kind of screwed Luca a little
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: bit because he can't sign a five year three hundred
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and fifty or whatever crazy number it was. And everyone
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: says baseball players make too much, But I don't know, man,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think a Bryce for like a
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Bobby Witt junior, I mean, or Soto something like that.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's two.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: You put two of the best players that people know
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: out there and trade them.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: It's these trades don't happen in MLB.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Should I show you. Let's run through like three tweets here.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Pap had a great one to start, so he said,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: who finally red Sox off the hook from the mookie
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: bet trade? Being brutal there it is, Wow, the Maps
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: just made the worst trade of the century, topping the
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: mookie Bets trade, Red Sox off the Hook. Now. Mark
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Urig had a good one too. Over at the Athletic
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: He said, unbelievable trade. The Lakers are bad for baseball,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: so so so good. Yeah, and let's do one more
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: because I think this really puts into context the differences
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: that we see between the NBA and MLB. Meek Phil
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: whoever that is on Twitter said, NBA GMS, please take
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: our twenty five year old superstar. We'd love to do
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: a deal MLBGMS, Sorry, sir, our twelfth ranked prospect in
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: the organization that's several years away is off limits. That's good,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Orious hook a little something caught a.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Lot of sicknesses, a lot of sickness. My thing is is,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: how do you I don't know. Again, I don't know
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: enough about like the cap space and all this stuff.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But I mean Luca Doncis I mean, obviously he's a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: really good player. I mean, Anthony Davis has been a
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: good player for a long time. I mean, wasn't like
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: a couple of days ago, Lebron was saying like dadh
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: dah blah blah blah blah whatever Lebron always says about Hell,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: he has no control everything. You think Lebron didn't have
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: something to do with this, I mean, come on, we're not.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I don't think any player in baseball has the power
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that certain players in the NBA have.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: He claims he didn't have anything to do with this.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: You're right. Basketball players have more power and they can
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: impact this. There was a writer who said that like
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Lebron wasn't feeling ad anymore or whatever. Again, I'm talking
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: without the best knowledge, but I do know that this
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: definitely happened. And then Lebron tweet quote it and was like,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: you bleep and liar, And again I didn't even care
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: about the drama part, like the specifics of the drama.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I just said, what is this called in the NBA? Saturday?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Saturday?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: It was Saturday. But yes, that's just too good. So anyway,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: props in the NBA for doing all that.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: By the way, you know, I want to say this
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: before we keep going. And there's stuff that did happen
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: in a Major League baseball but this kind of does
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: coincide with Major League Baseball, and I've seen this someone
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: in our chat wrote this. But also there's a bunch
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: of the other things. The MAVs owner since Cuban sold
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to the new ownership group has said they I don't
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: know if they've said this, but there's a lot of
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: conspiracy theories saying they want to move the team to
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Vegas because they have connections to the Vegas world, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: so this is a way to make them really bad
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and then that if they get you know, a certain thing,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: then they can move to Vegas. So again, conspiracy theorist
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: good after it. I don't know, but I saw this
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: on Twitter and then someone in the chat also wrote it,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: so I don't know. Maybe Scott can dig in a
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: little bit. But Vegas is trying to get a baseball team,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a basketball team. They already have the NFL and the NHL.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I did see that, and I read it, and I
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: enjoyed it. I didn't know enough about it to really
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: comment one way or another, but I do love myself
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: a good conspiracy theory. And we are going to talk
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: about another city that's competing with Vegas because they actually
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: get way more tourist. But we'll get to that later.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: We'll get to that later. I know it's Aja's most
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: exciting topic of the day. But first we had a
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: good signing. So let's charge the Dan Mount charge about
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: almost like I said this. On Friday, free agent Jack
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Flaherty announces he's returning to the Tigers two years, thirty
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: five million dollars with an opt out. That's the guaranteed money.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: If he puts up twenty five starts or more this season,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: the number would go to two years, forty five million.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: He gets twenty five in his first year which Ken
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Rosenthal pointed out, is a top ten starting pitching salary
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: for twenty twenty five and then number two year number
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: two if he kept it would either be ten or
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: twenty million dollars. The Detroit Tigers have their one two
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: punch Kratz. Remember we talked to Schooble about this. Flaherty
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: was on our show recently and talked about this. We
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: were bringing this up on Friday. They needed another top
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: end starter and it's good for them. They ended up
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: trading Hi away last offsea or last season, getting a
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: starting shortstop, a good prospect, and they brought him back.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Shows he made an impact. Not only did he make
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: an impact, but he kind of reinvented himself. So whatever
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: he had worked on in the off season, talked about
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: on here, talking about being healthy going into that into
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: last off season, needing to you know, have a good
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: bounce back, and he figured some stuff out. It's one
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: thing to change things or figure things out in the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: off season, but then you join an organization that you've
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: never been with and then allowing them to continue to
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: build on that, continue to implement that. It shows I
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: mean he gets an opportunity to go back. I love
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the contract structure of this. I would obviously have loved
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to see him just get his flat eighty million, but
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: maybe it could be, you know, he has to kind
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: of do a little more, prove it year one more here.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But I like the structure for him. But again I
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: feel like the teams making out pretty well.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: My thing is, didn't we have trek scuobel on? Was
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: it a week ago Saturday?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And he said something like, man, we wanted him in
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: a big game and if we would have had him,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: he probably we could have had a better chance to
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: win the al Ds against those pesky Guardians. And you
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: want to hear the clip, sure, let's hear it, because
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I mean it was it was kind of interesting.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Do you guys win the Ds if Jack Flaird he
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't try? I saw this. I saw this clip.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Because we asked Jack Yeah, yeah, so yeah. I mean,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I I love Jackie's a hell of a talent. That's
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: such a right, I would say. I mean, if there's
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: a guy I want on the mountain, that's that's not
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: me on our team. I want him on the mountain.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's last season was special. K for nine
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: was I think career high walks for nine career low.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: That's kind of the formula right in the in the
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: postseason is you want guys that can miss bats and
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: get you out of trouble. And you know, you saw
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: his starts. I think he only had one bad one.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: All the other ones were pretty dominant in terms of
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: who he is. And he was going through some stuff too,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: you know, physically with his body and just him being
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: able to take the ball every fifth day. You see
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: the toughness that kind of guy has, and I think
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: he has the respect to the guys in that clubhouse.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: And well, two things off that clib One, Derek Scuba
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: wanted him back, he got him back. And then two
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: was it what he said about him going through some
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: stuff physically to take the ball every fifth day. That
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: didn't allow him to get the money he was looking for.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, he would have thought he could have gotten
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to Kakuchi money, right, But I mean he got a
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: nice one year deal. He has another good year'll opt
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: out and try again next year. It's like another proved year.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: But this is his second proved year in a row.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: He's had to do now, so I don't know, it's interesting.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Good for the.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Tigers somebody on Twitter hit me up and said, I'm
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: gonna say that the Guardians and Royals are still better,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and I asked him if that's what he wanted me
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to say. I mean, I think this puts the Tigers
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: in a better spot because they don't win the division
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: or sorry, win the one of the wild cards last
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: year if Jack Flerty doesn't have the starts he had
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the whole year. So yes, they have been better in
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, absolutely, But at the same time, this definitely
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: will help them in the long haul for one point
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: sixty two, especially if they don't trade him and they
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: keep them again. And last thing before I throw it
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to you guys, does this open the door even more
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: for Alex Pregnant Because the Tigers are putting more money
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: more money into this, So does this mean a guy
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: like Pregnant could come in and kind of be the
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: cherry on top to what the Tigers have done this offseason?
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: They're not done, they shouldn't be done. Nice move for
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Scott Harris, But is Alex Pregnant the cherry on top
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: that can put him and put them possibly even better
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: in the division and in the playoffs race.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I think so, And There's a great quote tweet from
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Schooble when Flaherty was shown s google kind of playing
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: to the crowd in Cleveland because he loves that stuff,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: just to be the enemy number one in an opposing ballpark.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: But anyway, those two really fed off each other in
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: a competitive way. We do also have the clip of
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Jack Flaherty on our show maybe two weeks ago, if
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: that so, on that too, so we can hear what
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Flowerty had to say about his Detroit experience and also
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: about if the Tigers would have advanced to the Alcs
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to face the Yankees if they had two starters instead
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: of just one.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Tigers win the American League. If you're still on the Tigers,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I know it's ifs and butts and all that stuff.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: You know, I've wanted to stay in Detroit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: We had we had conversations, and I loved it there,
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: and I thought the combo of me and scoob was
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: was was incredible. And then you saw what they did,
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: the run that they went on even after I got
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: traded and they brought all those young guys up. I think,
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: you know we I mean, they got to.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: It's hard to say.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: I mean they get to at least you get to
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: Game five with Cleveland and they got Scoob on the
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: mound and Lane Thomas puts one swing and that's how
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: that's how the playoffs go. Is as as crazy as
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: it as it is. Do I think we win that series?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Probably?
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: We probably win that series and face the Yankees and
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: in the LCS, which is crazy to think about.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: All Right, So I want to know did Jack Flerity
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: get a qualifying offer this year?
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Now he was an algibi, he's got I know where
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: you're going. Yeah, he could get one. He ops out.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like That's why that was my big thing is
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: if he opts out, they can they can wham me
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: him with a qualifying offer. So it's going to be
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: real interesting this this whole thing, uh, to see what
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: he decides to do, what him and his agents decide
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: to do. Let's say he goes out has a great year,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: It's probably a no brainer. But let's say he goes
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: out and makes twenty five starts and you know, has
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: a three S year or you know a little over
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: a three S e r A and doesn't do as
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: well as you had last year. It's going to be
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: an interesting decision for mister Flaherty.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm, it is. I mean he made some tweaks
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: this year. He had an awesome season. I think I
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: agree with you that the Yankees specifically screwed him over
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: a little bit just because that deal was next based
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: on them not liking the medicals for him as a rental.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: You know, they for the most part proved to be wrong.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: He was pretty good down the stretch for the Dodgers,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: had a few clunkers in the playoffs, also had a
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: few freaking dazzling performances in the playoffs. You saw the
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: flashes of a one and you saw a one to
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: two starter for most of the season. So, like Schooble mentioned,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: career best strikeout rate, career best walk rate, the velo
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: was good, the tweaks that he made. So I'm looking
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: back up the curveball usage with the Dodgers, more slider
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: less cutter just made some tweaks with the Tigers, who
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: obviously did a great job with him, and they've done
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: a little bit of pitching whispering, and then the Dodgers
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: have their own model as well that does pretty well.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do a trivia question with you. I'll
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: give you a second to think about it while I
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: say something else. I want you to rank the payrolls
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: in the American League Central from one to five with
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: an update from Jack Flaherty last night. Think about that
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: while I tell our YouTube van thank you very much
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: for getting us to seventy five thousand subscribers. Were almost
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: seventy five and a half already Friday. We hit that number.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Aj during the show. We were I don't know, one
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: hundred something off. We said it, and then very quickly
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: it changed. That means some of you are watching and
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: you had never pressed the sub button. But that's okay.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: We still love you. We just would love you to
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: give us one little boot subscribe and we'll love you more,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: like every day love you, and then we'll love you more.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Can I just say this, This might be the best
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: greatest day of all time on this show, the greatest.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Single talk I say, subscribe. I'm not with that to you.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: That was it. That was it right there.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: You just went on like a thirty to forty five
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: second diatribe on subscribing, which I've been asking you for
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: almost two years to say daily. That only takes five seconds,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: And this is the first time maybe in history that
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: you said it, so thank you Jesus.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: I figured out a way to do it. I think
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: when we're just on for the YouTube fam, it hits harder,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: it connects more. I feel like we have our TV
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: show and everyone's involved, but then we get our little
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: three minute breaks through we can chat with the OGFT fan.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: So anyway, that's how it's done. Now, rank your top
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: five payrolls in the American League Central Who wants to
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: do ahead?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Whites are white? Sox are five. I know that Guardians
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: are four. Mm hmmm, Uh, Twins, I think still might
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: be one. But then uh Tigers who Royals three?
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Close?
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I thought that's I thought that. I thought the Tigers.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I thought the Tigers passed. I thought the Tiger's passed
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the Twins. I think the Twins are third, and the
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Royals jumped over with their with their best of US signing.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: I've got Tigers one twins two, Royals are still three
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: twins are I think at exactly one forty Tigers are
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: in the one three range, depending on which publication you're
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: looking at, and then the Royals are in the one thirties.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I believe yes they are. Because Ken Rosenthal wrote that
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: article about Santander and where that would have put them,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: which would have put them I think at number one
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: or two at this point, but anyway, we'll get into
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: that talk later.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what he said. That's what he said. That's
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: what he said.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: That's what he said. All right, the Padres had their
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: little fan fest thing, so we can show you what
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: aj Preler said about his personal frustrations, even though he
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: probably didn't portray it that way. He expects the Padres
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: enter the season with a championship roster, he adds, got
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: to add a bat or two, got to add an
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: arm or two. Many Manchada was also there. He was
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: speaking about a number of topics, including the fact that
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: his elbow sounded like quite a problem last year coming
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: off of surgery. You know, your post surgery fun when
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: it takes a little bit longer to recover, and it
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: was barking at times for him. So he said, it's
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: a world of difference right now this offseason for him.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I believe that. And he also of course addressed the
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Padres suddenly frozen in a free agent market and even
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: via trade, which is so uncommon for a j Preler.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Here's what he said at the end of the day.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: Uh, you know, we gotta you know, look at the
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: guys that we haven't here who are disappointed we haven't
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: made any moves. Yeah, I think, uh, you know, as
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: a team, we kind of look up there and you're
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: you're a little disappointed at you know, we let some
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: of the guys that that were core core group here,
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: you know, kind of go elsewhere. But at the end
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: of the day, we can't control that, right, you know,
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: but we can control with with the group of guys
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: that we have here, and we're gonna go and and
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: you know, get ready for a long season. I think
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: that doesn't change, right, our goals to our goal and
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: our goals to win a championship and and and and
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: win the World's here so you know, comes screen training
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: time with the guys that we have in that culpbous,
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: we're gonna go out there and we're gonna we're gonna battle.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: To me, it's not just the freeze a j it's
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: shedding players. It's Kim Gon, it's profile are gone. It's
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: maybe Dylan Cescon. That's the problem. It did. If they
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: had the same roster from last year, you would have
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: been like, cool, great, this might have been the best
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: or a top three team in baseball last year by
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: the time we got to the postseason. But it's not
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: the same team.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: No, it's not.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: And listen, there's very few people in Major League Baseball
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: that can do this. We talked about Lebron and how
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: he comes out and says and players in the NBA
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: are able to kind of manipulate trades and stuff like that.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Manny might be the only guy I've ever heard come
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: out and say this about ownership. Now, why can he
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: do it? He's locked into a long term deal. Obviously,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I believe he has a full note trade. But him
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: and Peter Sidler were like this, Okay, like when they
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: were like this this, So he has the ear of ownership.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's as good as it was
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: when when Peter BEFO Peter passed away, but he was
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: the guy they built the franchise around. He was kind
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: of like, hey, you want to go get once, So
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: sure you want to get this guy? Yes, yes, yes,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: So Manny of course is pushing buttons as he should,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: as your superstar should be able to when he's on
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: a contract like he is. But I agree with what
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: many said is he disappointed. Yes, do they got to
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: look at the guys in that locker room and say
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: we got to figure this out.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Do I expect aj Preller not to do anything.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: No chance.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: This dude makes trades on the night before the season starts.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: So he's out there searching, scouring, whatever it is, and
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: he's looking for kind of like we talked about the Tigers,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: maybe a deal under the radar that he can get
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: a guy for a one year or two year deal
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: with opt outs and get him on the cheap and
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: go get him, go, try to compete with the Dodgers
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: like they did last year.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: And here's the starting pitching update, Kratz before you chime
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: in on the Padres. So this happened right around showtime
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: on Friday, so we didn't get to it. But they
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: signed up Michael King to a unique contract structure that
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: saves them money on the front end, so he avoids arbitration.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: He's getting seven point seventy five million guaranteed three million
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: dollars signing bonus, so he gets that right away. He
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: gets a one million dollar salary during his free agent season,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: but there's a three point seventy five million dollar buyout
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: on a mutual option, which of course is not going
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: to take. Mutual options are kind of fake and just
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: gets you the buyouts that you essentially defer the money
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: to it being paid at the end of the season.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: That money can go up to four million dollars based
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: on how many starts he makes. So the point of
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: all this is it sounds like it puts them in
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: a position where they're flexible enough with him being so
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: cheap during the year that they don't have to trade him.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: That turns the attention back to Cease. Trying to remember
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: who put this out there, but I just saw it
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: last night how the Padres ask is related to some
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: major league talent coming through. They did get that with
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: the Sodo deal. Oh it was in the Dan Hayes
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: article actually, which we'll talk to him later about with
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: the Twins talking to the Padres. But that's going to
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: be difficult this late in the game to be bringing
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: in major league talent to help a club on a
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Dylan Cestrade.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: What do you think, I mean, I think that's tough.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I think the first the King's the King part of
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: this contract. This also helps kinger because if he puts
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: up a year like he did last year. What are
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: they gonna slop on him qualifying offer with this, with
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: the way it's structured, I don't see that qualifying offer,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: or I mean, I don't see him needing to be
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: traded because ooh, we got to dump salaries. His salary
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: is not that not that high for this season, So
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: this team can't look at trading Cease. What I read
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: about the you know, maybe Dan Hayes will say more
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: about it, but like, it just doesn't seem it just
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem like a fit. But going back to it
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: seems like a fit. It doesn't seem like it's gonna happen.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: But going back to what Aj said, Preller and Jerry
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Depoto are both sitting out there in the west going
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: just let just let me eat, let me like I
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: get it. I can't go under this number, whatever it is,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: one forty one seventy. Each team has their certain number
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: they can't go under or they can't go over. I'm
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: gonna mix and match. We might end up at the
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: same number, but I'm going to have six new players
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: and gotten rid of three other players. I just don't
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: see how you can get rid of Cease and still
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: tell your clubhouse, you're looking to compete.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: I want to make one clarification before AJ jumps back in.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Michael King not getting traded now would help him because
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: if before the sat is this year and then he
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: does get traded during the season, then that wipes away
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: the qualifying offer. If he just stays with the Padres,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: they're going to slap a qualifying offer on him, assuming
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: that he looks like he did in twenty twenty four.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: So he'll still have that issue to overcome. Yeah, yeah,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: he's still going to have to do with that. Yeah. Yeah.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: So if you get traded, you don't get the qualifying offer.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: That's the whole name of the game.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: That's why Jack Clairdy didn't get it correct.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: But he could get you reward.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: The team that traded for you because they had to
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: give a prospect. So they didn't want that, so they
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: wanted it to be a fair trade market. The player Association,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: that's why they nix that. And it makes sense if
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: you think about it, because why should the Dodgers get
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: a qualifying offer when really the Tigers took the risk
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: on Flaherty when they signed him, and if he had
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: had a bad year, the Tigers would have to eat it.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: But because the Dodgers made the trade he was having
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: a good year, they don't get rewarded by offering him
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: a qualifying offer then getting the draft pick back. So's
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: it's one of the good rules that we have developed
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: here through negotiations from the union and the owners.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: That works.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the qualifying offer in general is just massive salary
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: suppression because you lose a pick. If you really wanted
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: to play it, right, wouldn't you just reward a pick
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: to the team losing the player and not punish. Yeah. Yeah,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: reward the team losing the player, but not punish the
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: team that's signing the player.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Isn't that what they used to do? Didn't They used
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: to just give the compensatory picks like it was like
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I thought, like Dustin McGowan, Yeah, yeah, there's different there's
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: different tiers depending on you know, what type of player
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: it was that left. It doesn't hurt the team that
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: that guy goes to. It just helps the team that
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: signs a veteran that leaves then the next year m
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: hm exactly.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: All right, A couple other quick things here, because we've
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: got some small signings that will cover real quick right now,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: and a trade. The Tigers made a small trade, Jeff
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Passen reporting that the Rays are acquiring Alex Faato from
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Detroit for a minor league catcher, Anderson Delcado and a
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: little cash. He said Fido was a solid contributor for
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Detroit last year. He was dafade after the Tigers signed
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Tommy Kinley. There's a few trades that should pop up,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: so that was one. I don't know if you guys
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: caught a few days ago, Ryan Brasier getting dffaide who
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: is definitely going to land with a team that's a
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: major league reliever who could pitch high leverage innings in
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: many other bullpens. He just happens to be on the
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: team that is signing everyone, so he'll get traded soon.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: But anyway, Fioto to the sounds like a classic situation
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: aj of a guy who's going to go there. He's
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: going to switch the repertoire up and you know, could
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: be a contributor for this Tampa Bay team.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: He had a nice year. He had a nice listen.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: He had a nice year for him because he was
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: a starter at times when they needed a starter. He
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: was their innings eater guy in the middle and you
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: know the best part for Alex Fayeto if you know
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: anything about him, Scott, do you know where he was born.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know where. I'm assuming it was a Orlando
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: and he went to UF so, No, he.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Went to he was born in Tampa, so this is
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: a home No, that's great. You know we get traded
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: to your hometown team. It's hope. He likes rainouts. I mean,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I mean the Florida State League. You never got rained out.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: You never hit outside because you're under the cage. Because
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: it rained every day at like four o'clock. And then
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: he usually didn't get rained out. You would started like
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: eight thirty every night.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Delayed. You're delayed, yes, yes.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Right, it does eventual stop. That's the beauty of the area, right,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: is that you'll you'll get a pounding rain for an
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: hour and a half and then you know they fix
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: up the field. So yeah, you'll just have some late nights.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: So if you're a night person and you land on
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: the Rays, you might have an advantage, an advantage, right,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: you might be playing some later East Coast games. But yeah,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Fato this past season fifty seven and a third inning,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: six starts, mostly out of the bullpen, thirty one relief
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: appearances and eer at three six one.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: All right, By the way, I got to tell this
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Florida State League story. When I was in Fort Myers,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: we had David Ortiz on our team, Jock Jones, we
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: had a whole bunch of guys that were really good.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: We were playing in Fort Myers one time. It was
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: like July fourth ish, and so it was a big crowd.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it was sold out, which back
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: then was like six thousand people in the Florida State League.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: They had fireworks where there was rain threatening, So did
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: we stopped the game in like the eighth inning, shot
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: the fireworks off so the crowd would get to see him.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Work's done. Crowd left, finished the game. Stop it. Uh.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: We were on the field in like the seventh inning.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Boom boom.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Their umpires like, yeah, they want us to stop the game.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: So they get the fireworks and they spend all this money.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Boom boom, boom boom, boom boom boom, the fireworks will
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: go off. All right, guys, let's start the game. Bag up.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Had to get a picture ready, the whole deal. The
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: crowd all left. We finished the game, So.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: You're saying they weren't there for the baseball.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, not necessarily, but it was one of the
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: all time great things of all time that they legitimately
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: stopped the game so we could shoot the fireworks off.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: That's fan friendly, though, Kratz, that's minor league baseball.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: That is minor league baseball. One of my favorite minor
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: league baseball stories is July fourth too. We'll get to
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: it another time, but it was Billings, Montana.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, Kratz, you got three good minutes right here.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Pioneer League.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: July third, we played a game to have fireworks in
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Canada against because we played in Medicine Hat, Alberta, and
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: obviously every team wants the fireworks. So we had July
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: third in Canada. Then we came across the border, drove
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: eight hours to Billings, Montana. Beats because Billings they wanted
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: fireworks on July fourth, and little bit more of important
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: days July fourth in America. So we're standing on the
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: line and like everybody's kind of in that festive mood
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: and everything. If you've ever been to Billings, there's a
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: big plateau in right field and that's where the airport is.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Like the airport all the planes fly in, not like
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: a small airport, Billings Airport, and we're standing there and
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: as the anthem is finishing a you know, American Airlines
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: or United, I don't know who was flying in flies in.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Basically it looked like it was kind of over the field.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: People start freaking out. They thought it was like this
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: like flyover. It was just a regular commercial jet. It
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: timed it perfectly when a normally over what happened and
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: everyone's like, people were just it was just elect They
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: felt like it was electric because they had an American
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Airlines flyover. I mean it was just a regular plane
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: just landing.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: And somebody was like, I meant to do that.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Someone took me to that.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I knew that flight was happening at that very time.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Very good, Very good. All right, one more quick thing
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: while we have a minute. Carlos Carrasco to the New
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: York Yankees. I'm assuming this is going to be a
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: minor league contract. It's gonna be tough to crack that rotation.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: If you're Carlos definitely getting up there in age. He
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: is almost thirty eight, turns thirty eight next month. There's
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: John Hayman on it. Great dude, great smile, great story too,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: coming back from cancer a few years back. Last year,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: twenty one starts Era was five six' four With cleveland
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: just to eat some innings because they didn't have much
• 28:59

  Speaker 1: Right Rail, RIDER.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I hope you like Thunder mifflin could be a little.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Different if they.

  Speaker 2: Trade if they Trade, stromman not that he's gonna make the,
• 29:23

• 29:25
  Speaker 2: able to fill. In but you could be one hundred
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: dudes in the minor leagues AND i all throw harder In Carlos.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Carrasca that's What i'm saying, is you, know maybe you
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: can be eight instead of nine on the spot start
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: list or something like. That right that's a a tough
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: team to crack right. Now Hot. Corner you, KNOW aj
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: talks about this topic quite a, bit but it's actually
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: very relevant right. Now so there was a good story
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: in The Tampa Bay times late last, week and then
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: another one here popping up this weekend About hall Of
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Famer Barry larkin joining a, group the group In, orlando The,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: dreamers who are said to have four hundred and fifty
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: million dollars in verbal commitments to try and lore a.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: TEAM i listened To Barry larkin On SERIUS xm yesterday
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: to try and get any hints and, clues and he
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: definitely did not promise that the attempt was for an expansion.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Franchise he didn't dive too, deep but he did mention
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: multiple meetings with The commissioner's. Office And i'm curious to
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: get your take on where we're at right, Now, aj
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: because these articles have actually been laying out quite a
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: bit of, information including How Tampa bay's got their own
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: situation where they have to come up with money by
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: thirty first Of. March The orlando side of where this
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: would be Near SeaWorld thirty five and a half acre
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: or parcel right around that area that would be all
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: built out and crazy cool like The Battery Dome stadium
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: double The, tourist which you've mentioned before and has been
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: very publicly stated. Lately so where are we at, dude
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: are we gonna get The Orlando dreamers or The orlando
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Pier Zinsky's.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: No first of, all it's weird when they brought me.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: ON i didn't get a press, conference So i'm kind
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: of mad about. That SO i don't know If i'm
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: on the. Outs only you guys had someone on the
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: show that actually was a part of this and knew
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: what was going. On, yeah, listen here's the Thing i've
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: told you. Guys three point thirty one is the big
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: day for the. Race they don't know if the big
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: thing is is The rays have to come up with
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: half of the money for the stadium that the bond
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: vote got passed In Penel's County, forum and they don't
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: know if Mister sternberg has enough money to cover. That
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: that's the big. Thing he's been on a capitol race
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: trying to raise capital for. IT i don't know if
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: he's going to get there or. Not but if it doesn't,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: HAPPEN i don't think, that to be honest with, you
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: there won't be an expansion team that comes To. Orlando
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: it will have to be a team that moves. Now
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: The rays are the number one thought process here because
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: The rays don't have a. Stadium people In orlando can
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: get a stadium done because we have eighty million, tourists
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: over eighty million tourists a year that come in to
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the city Of, orlando which is. Double everyone talks about
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: the tourist In. Vegas that's double the amount of tourists
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: that go Into vegas every. Year the media size IS
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: i think it's, fifteenth about to be fourteenth in the country.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Now Tampa Saint pete IS i think, twelve so it's
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: a little bit ahead of. It but you could also
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: draw from. Them the parcel of land they have is
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: perfect place two highways. Collide it's in the middle of
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: the tourist. Area, SeaWorld Universal disney are all within shouting.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Distance they're putting in a train line stop allegedly right.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: There you, know it's got an exit right. There it's
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: pretty in and. Out they're gonna talking about winding.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: It.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Now there's a couple of. Hiccups, obviously The rays have to.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Move you have to find someone to buy the, race
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: BECAUSE i don't Think sternberg's gonna move the race.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: To, orlando but they can get the.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Money, listen there's a lot of things that have already
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: happened behind the SCENES i can't really talk, about but
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: this is there is a definitely like you guys all
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: THOUGHT i was, kidding but this is a legitimate runway
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: for a team to be In. Orlando we have the
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: magic we HAVE i think it's, UH i forget what
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: the women's soccer, team maybe The. PRIDE i think they
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: won the women's league last.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Year women's. Soccer you Have Orlando.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: City, yeah and we have enough money through our through
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: a tax program that is kind of unique To orlando
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: where you can get money because we generate so much
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: money through tourism every year because Of disney And Sea
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: world in all these, places that there's money to build this.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Thing and they want to build multiple, hotels they want
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: to build a shopping center much like The battery, has
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: and the stadium will be. Covered i've Seen i've actually
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: seen renditions of the, stadium unlike some other places where
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: we've never really Seen i've seen renderings of, it so
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: in the whole. Area SO i, mean this is a
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: possibility if they can figure out how to get a,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: team uh to come, there because you can't really have three.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Teams that's the problem is you can't really have three
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: teams In, florida especially two that are close To orlando And.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Tampa it's almost too close to each, other so the
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: logical move obviously would be to move. Them SO i don't.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Know if it's going to come to. Fruition then he
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: would not be The dreamers. Though that was the one.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Thing Pat, williams who passed away last, year was a
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: good friend of. MINE i know his kids and his
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: grandchildren very, well and that was his. Thing is it
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: all starts with the Dream that's why he named it The.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Dreamers that would not be the. Name now what the
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: name would, BE i don't. Know we'd have to sit
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: down and talk about. It BUT i think this is
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: a real thing that could be a real possibility If
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Major League baseball wants to dig into.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: It.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Now there is one spinor problem, Though Ron, DeSantis who's
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: the governor Of florida who kind of controls some of this.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Stuff he is from The, Clearwater Dan eden, area so
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: he kind of likes The rays being over.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: There near the. Beach. Yeah, see this is what gets.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Interesting And i'll just add one more fact to the
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: THAT i didn't. KNOW i, Mean i've been to a
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: magic game recently and learned that even when they, stink
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: which is pretty, often they're they're decent these, days top ten,
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Attendants and they, said of course the tourism helps. THAT
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: i live right in that area in Downtown orlando where
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: The magic. Are that is not the prime spot to
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: put any kind of sports. Team so they're doing well with,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: basketball different sport way less. Games florida has had trouble
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: with attendance WITH, Mlb but if you put it in
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: that area they're talking, about it is a tourism, mecca
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: there's more money around, there it would be the. Spot so, anyway,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: YEAH i liked. IT i just don't want to bury
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: the lead here to talk about the expansion part of,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: it which you know was included With, barry is completely
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: This it's a complete nun.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Fact it would team would no chance they will have.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Three so, REALLY i just want to call a spade a.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Spade we're all paying attention to what happens with The
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: rays and if they can figure out being friends right
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: and getting the money that they, need because otherwise it's
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: going to be The Orlando. Rays that's what this is
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: all telling to. Me why WOULD mlb start getting so
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: involved with this because they need a legitimate backup. Plan
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: they do not want to leave that, area and they
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: do think that they believe In orlando and they KNOW
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: i think that's only going to happen If Tampa bay comes.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Through it's just the Fast.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: AND i think was It manford not long ago was
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: quoted as Saying orlando has the money to get this.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: DONE i don't know WHERE i read that or saw,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: that But manford actually was quoted Saying orlando has money
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: to get something. Done SO i, mean, listen there's some
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: obviously hurdles to jump over to get this. Done BUT
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: i know That i've been joking about this on the
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: show for a couple of, years but there actually are
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: wheels in, motion things in play that could make this a.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Reality and there's a couple big hurdles you got to
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: got to get. Over but if those hurdles don't, pass
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: like The march thirty first is a big. One if
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: that falls, through this thing could pick up steam and
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: become a real reality because they're ready to move on a,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Stadium they're ready to do all these. Things they just
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: need to go ahead with a team and once they
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: find out they are ready to Move.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: CRATZ i, mean do you feel like you're on an island.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Here you've got the mayor Of orlando and the transplant
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: who's enjoying his, time so obviously we're a little.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Bit i'm enjoying.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: It i've always, said if hockey can, survive it can,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: thrive not, survive. Thrive signs, everywhere, championships all that.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Stuff In. Florida don't give me the don't give me the,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: oh it's so tough for.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Baseball it's just it's not LIKE i would love for
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: the right people to get in there and get a
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: team In florida Because, Florida, Texas california are baseball. Meccas
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: the state needs a team that like they can get.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Behind in my, opinion maybe Maybe i'm completely completely behind.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: It but if the group In orlando backed BY, aj,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: hey maybe it'll be The A's come, On John fisher
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: AND aj.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: BUDDIES i would love to see. IT i would love
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: to see. It, Oh, john come on our. Show john'll be,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: like what is it a baseball? Show, NO i go
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: on business. Shows by the.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Way the, key one of the keys to this whole
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: thing is like people worried about. Attendance right the one
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: thing you have to do is if you have hotels,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: there and there's a million hotels In, ORLANDO i mean
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: there were The Hotel capital The world pretty much. Right
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: you have to get the theme parks. Involved you have
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: to Get disney, involved you have to get The Sea world,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: involved you have to Get universal, involved all the other
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: theme parks around. Here you have to have a way
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: to get them, involved BECAUSE i think that if you
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: can get them, involved and people can say, like, hey
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: we you know these tourist, packages you can go to
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: three days Of. Disney oh and by the, way we'll
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: throw in you know you're From. Cleveland you will throw
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: in A guardians game versus The orlando you know, whatever
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: whatever we, want going to call Them orlando. DREAMERS i
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: think people would do that because baseball is affordable on
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: a scale like.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: THAT i.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Think SO i think this is something that could really,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: work AND i think it could be.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Big but we'll see.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: People hit parks and then they're looking for stuff to
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: do at, night AND i will, say there's not enough
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: to do at. Night there's not enough to do at.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Night there should be more in that. AREA i think
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: that's you, know missing. Out taking it from a night.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Person so, anyway we'll see stay tuned updates here as.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Involved right at least maybe this week's supposed to have
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: a meeting, here you.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: GO i want to get the two. Things one is.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: Quick The San Francisco chronicle came out and saidy're going
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: to call them The Sacramento. As, yeah of, COURSE i
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: mean that's what everyone should be. DOING i, WANT i
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: know they don't want the city behind. It But Ken
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: rosenthal this morning in his show said the same THING
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: i think about the. ATHLETIC i don't want totally misquote,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: him but he said something along the lines, of, yeah
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: we'll call them whatever we. Want we're not getting. Paid you,
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: know you could call them the you, know the the
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: poop eds if you. WANT i, mean it's you, know
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: it's it is what it. Is no too, far but
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: you can say whatever you. WANT i, mean there it's
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: not like a, Law oh you have to call us by,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: this so that that's within the league and contracts like,
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: that but not within media. Coverage so they'll.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: They're not calling them poop. Eds that's the first time
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: poop ed has ever been said on the.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Show you know WHY i SPENT i spent a day
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: with my niece and nephew the other, day so you
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: can tell the popular word amongst six and nine year. Olds,
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: anyway one more. Thing Ken rosendalt put out a really
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: cool article this past weekend Detailing Kansas city's pursuit Of Anthony.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Santander they sent an, offer it sounded like they enhanced that,
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: offer but it was too. Late he already agreed to
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: go To. Toronto but it my mind would have been
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: a big deal For Kansas city. Crats The royals landed
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: someone Like. Santander they pivoted To, steves which is, cool
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: but that's a totally different player and they really still
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: need another outfielder and some more. Pop in my, mind that's.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Exciting for me obviously being A Kansas city, homer one
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: of my Nine Kansas city one of my nine. Homers
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: BUT i love. THAT i love that they're going after
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: a huge impact. Bat maybe they're a mystery tame on
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: some people just saying just just think about, it because
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: what was, it, like sixty six million supposedly was out.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: There, yep three years sixty six was the enhanced. Offer you,
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Know santander's kind track is actually in that similar, range,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: Right but because it's deferred in its longer. Years, yeah
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: at THE aav was was higher by a good chunk
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: what they were offering versus what he ended up getting With.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Toronto but he got the longer, years and generally the
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: player's going for the longest or the biggest overall. Money but,
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: ANYWAY i thought it was interesting to hear From ken
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: about that little, pursuit but it didn't. Happen got to
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: get that better offer. Early all, right we're gonna cost
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: To Junior. Camenara what go, Ahead i'm just gonna.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Say and it's a little pivot away from like all.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Defense like The royals are looking for some, thumb which
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: would be a pivot away from their defense, first then some, thump.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Right and he's probably a FUTURE dh, two especially with that.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Outfield but that's. Fine you can have.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: A dh also real.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: QUICK i love that he accepted that he'd already agreed
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: and he didn't change his mind when The royals came.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: In, yeah that is.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Cool all. Right here we go AT mgm looking at.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: Futures now we're going to hop around to some player
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: props and we're gonna look At Max, freed The New
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: New York yankee who had one hundred and sixty six
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: punchouts last year and one hundred and seventy four and
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: a third. Innings the numbers at one fifty five and a. Half,
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: whoa he hit one sixty six last, year so he
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: should be in good. Shape, well the whole deal with
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: pitchers is usually banking on a Health guess you're taking the, OVER, Aj,
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: yeah that's, Easy, CRATS i think really.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Easy, easy pasy man. Cheesy i'm taking the.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: UNDER i just feel like the team is good enough
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: that they could possibly give him some break that would
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: not allow him to get all his all his starts.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: IN i could be off on. That he's done. IT
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: i think he's gone over the number three times in his,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: career so it's it's tough to it's tough to not
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: necessarily stay, healthy but just to get all your. Starts
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: like The yankees get off to a hot, start they
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: don't need them to make all their. Starts sit him
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: for a few maybe he doesn't quite reach.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: That And i'll double down on. This if there's a
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: minor injury and you are a shore fire playoff, team
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: they're going to give you more time to, chill especially
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: when you have. Depth So i'm with you, there just
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: playing the law of health averages and how teams manage
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: their guys are good.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: GOOD i don't want to prove he's gonna want to
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: prove that he's worth the. Contract he's gonna want to
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: pitch every fit. Day, Listen Max free pitches when he.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Can there's times he pitched like with all kinds of.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Problems he's gonna want to, pitch AND i think he'll
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: get his.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: Strikeouts, okay we'll see what. Happens we'll mark this one,
• 43:53

  Speaker 3: You in the, weeds we have Shohe otani pitching. Updates
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: you know he had the shoulder surgery too this. OFFSEASON
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: i mean he's been through it body. Wise sometimes you
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: don't realize it because he's like a cyborg on the
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: field and had such a ridiculous year at the. Plate
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: but he's coming off the elbow, surgery the shoulder, surgery
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: and now is going to try and do what nobody
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: else does in the, sport which is hit at an
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: elite level and pitch at an elite. Level it sounds
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: Like Doc roberts was going with a may return to the.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: Mound he'll start the. Season of, course as THE dh
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: in the, Lineup kratz is smirking more than aj so
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: you get to go. First but this makes, sense ALTHOUGH
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: i could see them suddenly saying it's gonna Be june
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: and really taking care of the arm because you would
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: like to see that arm thrive In. October how many
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: starts you want from?
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: Him?
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Twenty does that mean he gets fifteen during the, Season
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: like now you're, talking you, know mid middle of the.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Season if you, know if he starts In, june they're
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: not gonna they're not gonna pitch him every five. Days
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: it could be six or seven days given the extra off.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Day so to, me if they get twenty starts including the,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: postseason out of, THEM i think that's to me that
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: would be the. Number i'm not quoting that from, anywhere
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: But i'm just thinking about the wear and tear for
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: this guy and what that's going to, do you, know
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: to the longevity rump titty at the plate and on the.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: MOUNTAIN i, MEAN.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: I think they're not gonna rush. HIM i think they
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: have like twelve starting pitchers and a big loaded. BULLPEN
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: i think they're gonna take them. TIME i think they're
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: gonna just see when he's. Ready it's not a. Rush,
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: listen the longer he delays, pitching the more days he
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: can dh and play. Offense, right because there were there
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: are days when he pitches he needs off days after.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: And all this.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Thing remember when he was an anim he would need
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: a day off sometimes after he, pitched before he, Pitched
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: so you lose that side of the offense of. It
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: SO i think If i'm The, Dodgers i'm, like all,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: right just keep getting better and. Better maybe we use
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: you out a bullpen or. Something but If i'm The,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: DODGERS i push this back as far AS i.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: Can, yeah there's no reason to rush by any. Means
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: and in, fact, yes save the, bullets because you're a playoff.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: LOCK i, mean some people think they're a world series winning.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Lock that's too, far but they are a playoff lock
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: more than anyone. Else all, right let's finish with some
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: news from The, mariners because they apparently are pretty much
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: done from doing anything major this according to their beat.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: Writers and then we got a little real quote dug
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: up by The Marine layer podcast not part of The ft,
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: network but still nice people. Quote our goal was to
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: set ourselves to be as flexible from an, age from a,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: system and from a payroll perspective as we. Could in
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: that twenty twenty one, Launch kikuchi And seeger will be
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: the only players on our roster earning north of arbitration.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: Numbers that gives us incredible spending power in the free
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: agent market at a, time and some of the best
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: players of this generation might be available in free. Agency
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: well that line was, true but the part before, it
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: and this came From Jerry depoto at the, time was absolute.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: Blasphemy they did not go after superstars in the free agent.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: Market in, FACT i thought it was a lot that
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: they were going to bring Back Justin, turner AND i
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: don't even know if they're going to bring him back
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: this coming, Season so stay, Hot.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Seattle there's a couple of quotes From Jerry depotovi is
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: his head back, now doesn't?
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: He i'd say. It i'm allowed to say.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: It sometimes he gets the truth serum before he gets
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: them on stage or in front of a. Mic he
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: just gets that truth steerreum out. THERE i appreciate the.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: Honesty my thing, is when you look back at that
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: quote from several years, AGO i think he assumed that
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: they were going to get more. Leeway you, Know i've
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: been trying to play this in a way that doesn't
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: go too hard after the front Office right, Now i'd
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: be pissed If i'm A mariners fan that they're not
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: at least trying to do. Something but at the, time
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: they thought that the spending power would tick up because
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: they're not a big spending. Team so they were, like,
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: oh this is our. Rebuild we're gonna build something special
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: and then we're gonna buy the talent on the back.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: End we're gonna have A World series. Team they just
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: forgot that last. Step, well he was.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: The last step they did.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: It They, okay how do teams do their rebuild homegrown
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: players mostly trades and draft, picks, right and they build
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: this talent and then when they get to the, end
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: what do they have to. Do they have to supplement
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: it with people free agents from the. Outside The, Cubs John,
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Lester John, lackey, Right, heyward those, guys, right The astros
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: they brought in verlind or some of the other. Guys
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: so when these teams do these epic, rebuilds it's like
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: kind of where The orioles are at right. Now they
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: kind of fiddled around with it a little bit this.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Offseason they went With Corbyn. Burns last year they made the,
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: playoffs didn't work, out but they didn't go enough to
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: where they get the next step in the next wave
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: to put them over the. Top it's tough to build
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: a homegrown team of twenty six people that can win
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: The World. Series you have to have mix in some
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: key free, agents have to be smart with it and
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: make them.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Work one more good, example because it was two years
• 49:51
